In the city of Nanjing, in the past few days, the number of people who have visited Xu Mansion has increased suddenly, Xu Yongshun is not the kind of nouveau riche, since the former Ming Xu Da generation, he has enjoyed glory and wealth for many generations, and has a profound heritage, so he naturally knows that at this time, he should be a low-key person.

He simply hid in the Longjiang Shipyard to supervise the Shipyard's R&D Department to speed up the development of iron-hulled ships. Those who came to visit were all told that the owner was not there, so they could only leave a post and go home.

For some dignitaries who should not be offended, Xu Yongshun will pay a return visit on a certain day to make amends.

Now Xu Zhaoyi in the palace gave birth to a prince, as the so-called mother is expensive by her son, Xu Zhaoyi is probably only a matter of time before she becomes a concubine.

Things in this world, who knows what will change in the future, and it is always beneficial and harmless to climb a little relationship now.

In this regard, on the Guozhang Mansion, which is only one street away, Yang Tinglin is very calm and ignores it. But Mrs. Yang couldn't sit still, and went to the house of the powerful in Beijing to find those first-class ladies, and the second-grade ladies visited the door to chat significantly more.

On this day, Yang Tinglin returned to the middle of the court, and found that his wife was not there, so when he asked his subordinates, he said that he had gone to the Xinguo Mansion again. In the evening, after Yang Chen returned home, Yang Tinglin couldn't help but be furious.

After he drove all his subordinates out, he exclaimed, "What do you want to do? Are you deaf and dumb on the day? I tell you, none of the things in this capital can blind the Son of Heaven, hurry up and put away your little thoughts, don't cause trouble to the queen, the prince and my Yang family. ”

Yang Chen was taken aback, and replied with some grievances: "Master, the concubine just went to visit the door and didn't do anything, why do you want to be so angry?" Isn't it good for the concubine to be a daughter and a prince? ”

"Long hair, short knowledge, you are the way to get trouble. From tomorrow onwards, you will honestly stay at home for me, and you will not be allowed to go anywhere, do you hear? Yang Tinglin scolded with a cold face.

"Master, you also said that if it weren't for you at the beginning, why would the concubine be so worried about now."

"Shut up!"

Yang Tinglin finished scolding, sighed, and then said earnestly: "What happened to Li Jiqing last time almost caused a big disaster, and now Zhi'er is the queen." His Majesty treats Zhi'er well, as long as Zhi'er, the queen, is still there, there is nothing to worry about.

Now you go to the east and the west, but you will fall into the hands of others, once this matter is spread to the ears of His Majesty, it will only be appropriate, you are harming Zhi'er and the prince. Did You Know? ”

"But master, this Xu family is different from other people, Liu Changzuo and more than a dozen other powerful people of the former dynasty are tied to the Xu family, although these people have low official positions. But the foundation is thick, it is by no means a family of leisure, I heard that their relationship with Han Gong in the palace is not ordinary, if it is bad inside and outside. I'm afraid of Zhi'er, alas! ”

"You don't have to worry about this, Your Majesty is the King of the Holy Ming, and he intentionally or unintentionally supports these powerful people of the previous dynasty. may have other intentions, but the more this is the case, the less likely it is that the prince born to Xu Zhaoyi will threaten the crown prince's position in the East Palace. ”

"Sir, why is that?"

"You don't need to ask about this, just stay at home."

In the Daqin Palace, there has been a lot of joy in the past few days, and the royal family has added another son, and the Son of Heaven has given wine and food to the minister's house in Beijing to show the same celebration.

After coming out of Xu Ruoshi's dormitory, Qin Mu took Yang Zhi's hand and went for a walk in the imperial garden together. The autumn colors on the pond are continuous, the pavilion is clear, but there are autumn chrysanthemums blooming, and the fragrance is permeated.

"Lady, you've worked hard these days."

Yang Zhi replied with a gentle smile: "Don't say that, these are all things within the status of a concubine, Your Majesty works hard for state affairs all day long, and the concubine is a woman's family, if you can manage this harem well and not let Your Majesty worry, you will be satisfied." ”

Although Yang Zhi is already the mother of two children, she is actually still very young, he was only seventeen years old when he married Qin Mu, and now he is only the age of a young woman in Huaxin, if it were not for the identity of the queen, she must usually dress and speak and act solemnly, and her appearance even looks a little like a girl.

Her sincerity and kindness are her greatest personality charm, plus she abides by her duties and leads by example in everything, and others can't find anything wrong, and she is mostly convinced in her heart.

Qin Mu didn't say anything more, just took her hand and walked freely, Yang Zhi liked to be led by him for a walk like this, the sunset dyed the majestic palace group red, the water reflected the sky, the autumn breeze was slightly cool, but Yang Zhi's palms were warm, and the warmth seeped straight into her heart.

At this moment, she was full of gentleness in her dignity, and she lowered her head and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you remember the scene when you first saw the concubine?" ”

"If you call your husband, you will remember, but if you call your majesty, you will not remember." Qin Mu laughed.

"Majesty!" Yang Zhi stomped her feet rarely, but still changed her voice and called softly, "Husband." ”

"By the way, lady, let me take a look." Qin Mu pinched her chin and asked her to lift her head up.

Yang Zhi also thought that he was going to kiss himself in this imperial garden, his face turned red in an instant, and he unconsciously took a step back. Qin Mu smiled: "Lady, why are you hiding, my husband wants to see if there are still scars on your neck." ”

Qin Mu didn't say that it was okay, Yang Zhi, who knew that he had misunderstood him, turned even redder, Qin Mu gently opened her collar, and there was still a faint scar on her neck, as thin as a line, and she couldn't find it if she didn't look carefully.

"Husband, if that gangster really hurt the concubine at that time, what would happen to the husband?"

Qin Mu didn't expect her to ask such a question, so she blinked and smiled: "Does the lady want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”

"Listen to the truth, of course."

Qin Mu hugged her over and said with a smile: "Lying is that the husband will be very sad, sad for a lifetime, and guilty for a lifetime."

"Husband, the concubine has said that she wants to listen to the truth."

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, I don't know what will happen to me, because I didn't have time to think about it at the time, and I didn't want to think about it too much, some things, if you think about it too much, you will have more worries, and in the end it will be bad."

His words made Yang Zhi feel very honest and in line with his character, she clenched Qin Mu's hand and said: "Husband, that matter, the concubine body is still a little afraid now, if it weren't for His Majesty, the concubine body would definitely not be able to live." ”

Qin Mu originally wanted to say that you also sacrificed your life to save me once, and we evened out, but when the words came to his mouth, he took it back again, that time she rushed to the tip of the gun regardless of life and death, involving her father, this unpleasant thing, it is better not to mention it again.

"You, it's destined to be my lady, no one can take it away, hahaha"

After Qin Mu finished laughing, he found that there were bursts of coquettish scolding and smug cheers in front of the Zhaoyang Hall opposite.

Qin Mu and Yang Zhi looked over, and saw that the red lady and the two personal maids were practicing swords, while Yun Qiao'er was watching a big show, and her eyes were shining on the side, starring, and she shouted hello from time to time.

Seeing this girl like that, Qin Mu and Yang Zhi couldn't help but smile at each other, this girl really can't lack her wherever there is excitement.

Qin Mu was just about to go inside, but the female official Li Shuang'er came in small steps, and said with a blessing: "Your Majesty, the left waiter of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asks to see you." ”

Qin Mu gently patted the back of Yang Zhi's hand with some apologies and said, "Lady" Yang Zhi shook her head with a smile and asked him not to say anything, "The husband is the king of a country, and he should put state affairs first. ”

Qin Mu nodded with a smile, easily opened her hand, and strode to the front of the Huagai Palace.

Huang Zhenlin said with a long bow: "Your Majesty, the minister has just received an urgent report from the ambassador to Japan, Wei Zhengdao, that the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu has died of illness, and the military scholar Youi Masashi instigated a ronin rebellion in an attempt to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate, and Edo is in chaos.

Wei Zhengdao obtained some unconfirmed information that the ronin riot instigated by Jing Zhengxue was likely to be secretly supported by the Japanese Emperor Masahito, and the situation was very complicated. ”

Qin Mu didn't know much about the history of Japan, but according to the report of the former ambassador to Japan, Wei Zhengdao, Tokugawa Iemitsu did not give birth to a son, Tokugawa Ietsuna, until he was thirty-eight years old, and now Tokugawa Ietsuna is only ten years old.

The Tokugawa shogunate and the emperor of Kyoto have been fighting openly and secretly, and Tokugawa Iemitsu's death left behind a ten-year-old son, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the scene.

The Japanese policy formulated by Great Qin was to allow the Tokugawa shogunate and the Japanese emperor to contain and fight each other. If the Tokugawa shogunate fell, it would affect a series of policies of Great Qin towards Japan.

It's no wonder that it's getting dark, and Huang Zhenlin hurried to ask for a meeting, which is indeed a tricky thing.
