The early summer of the fourth year of Shengwei.

The capital is full of flowers and green trees.

Zhang Yuchi of Northern Xinjiang won one battle after another, occupied two cities in Tatar, and asked the Tatars to send envoys to Beijing for peace talks.

The Great Zhou has always lacked war horses, and such a move by the Tatars is undoubtedly inspiring, and if the frontier peace talks reopen the horse market, at least the imperial horse supervisor will be more relaxed.

With the Tatar envoys entering Beijing, the Great Zhou court was full of joy, and the people also gathered on the streets to see what those "vicious" Tatars looked like.

As the Tatar carriage loaded with tribute waited outside the palace gate to be summoned, the emperor stood on top of the tower and suddenly remembered the situation of the coming of all the nations mentioned by the emperor.

The emperor suppressed the joy in his heart, summoned the Tatar envoys, did not immediately agree to the peace talks, and temporarily let the envoys rest in Beijing.

The emperor knew very well in his heart that the Tatars were already in a hurry, and the cities occupied by Zhang Yuchi were like the Xuanfu of the Great Zhou for the Tatars, once they were lost, the disasters were endless, and in case the Great Zhou advanced northward, half of the Tatar rivers and mountains would fall into the pockets of the Great Zhou, since the Great Zhou occupied an absolute advantage, how could he easily let go of the Tatars, at least the Tatars would hand over the head of the Jinyue Khan to him.

Zhang Jingshu lowered her head and arranged the dragon robe on the emperor's body, and then bowed down and stood aside to see the emperor off.

The emperor's eyes fell on Zhang Jingshu, Zhang Jingshu was wearing a blue dress, and when she bowed her head slightly, she looked a little similar to Empress Yu back then.

She has become more and more obedient over the years, and if she continues like this, even if the Zhang family is punished in the future, he will give Zhang Jingshu a way to live.

The emperor stretched out his hand and pinched Zhang Jingshu's jaw and then lifted her face: "You are already a noble concubine, in charge of harem affairs, you don't need to be like this in front of people, otherwise how can you convince the public?" ”

Zhang Jingshu obviously didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The emperor didn't wait for Zhang Jingshu to reply, turned around and walked forward.

"The concubine sends the emperor."

Sitting on the dragon chariot, the emperor pondered the news from the southeast, a kind of silk reeling car prevailed in the southeast, turning the five warp silk into four warp silk, and the silk fabrics spun were lighter and thinner, many businessmen went to the southeast to buy this kind of silk fabric, the silk spinning in the southeast suddenly became very prosperous, and then gave Song Chengxuan some time, the southeast will become more and more rich, fortunately Zhang Yuchi's action was very fast, and the Tatars were also quite acquainted, so he won time.

As soon as the emperor thought of this, he suddenly heard a sound of "babbling", as if a baby was shouting.

"Stop." The Emperor immediately spoke, and then listened carefully.

In the past six months, he has often heard such noises, either the cry of a baby, or the muffled speech like this, as if a child is nearby.

The emperor looked at Feng Shun: "Did you hear that?" ”

Feng Shun looked around blankly: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Slave ......"

The emperor waved his sleeves: "There are children nearby, don't you hear?" ”

Feng Shun shook his head and looked at a few attendants: "Did you hear that?" ”

The chamberlain hurriedly shook his head in denial.

Impossible, the emperor frowned, he could clearly hear it, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the east: "Go over there, where did the movement come from." ”

Feng Shun and the others didn't dare to slack off and move forward quickly, and walked far away without seeing the baby mentioned by the emperor.

Feng Shun wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Your Majesty, do we still have to move forward?" ”

The emperor's face was full of disappointment, could it really be that he had misheard? He wanted a prince too much, so he had a heart disease?

If there is a baby in the palace, how can it be hidden?

The emperor instructed Feng Shun: "Go back to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart!" ”

As soon as the dragon turned around, it seemed that another baby's laughter could be heard.

The emperor's eyes flashed with essence, and he looked at Feng Shun and the others again, Feng Shun was still the same as Fang Cai, and he didn't see anything unusual.

"Feng Shun," the emperor said suddenly, "you take someone to check the palace, and if you find a baby, report it to me immediately." ”

Feng Shun hurriedly agreed: "The slave and maid receive the order." ”

The emperor's dragon chariot walked forward, Feng Shun turned his head, and looked at the deserted concubine's house, and from the corner next to the palace wall, a palace man came out and saluted Feng Shun.

Feng Shun waved his hand, and the palace people immediately retreated, and when the emperor and his party were far away, the palace people returned all the way back to Huayang Palace, and Zhang Jingshu was arranging flowers in the dendrobium.

"Niangniang," the palace man bowed and said, "It's all arranged, the emperor followed the voice for a while, and ordered Feng Nei to investigate the palace thoroughly." ”

Zhang Jingshu nodded, with Feng Shun's help, she was not afraid that big things would not happen, to say that this Feng Shun was very difficult, loyal to the emperor, if it weren't for the second uncle trying to raise his clan and rebuild the ancestral hall for his ancestors, Feng Shun still refused to follow her, this incident once again proved that her thinking was right, the most touching thing in this world is interests.

"Xu Qinghuan is okay, right?" Zhang Jingshu said suddenly.

The palace people immediately responded: "The eyeliner in the southeast said that everything is fine over there." ”

Zhang Jingshu nodded: "She must live well, and I will settle accounts with her personally." ”

……

The emperor entered the Heart Cultivation Hall and immediately summoned the courtiers outside.

Zhai Song, the squire of the military department, and others entered the door, and the door of the palace was immediately closed.

The emperor raised his head and looked at everyone: "You are all protégés of the Son of Heaven, the people I trust the most, only a few of you know what I am going to do, you must start doing it immediately." ”

Zhai Song and the others immediately knelt down: "Weichen and the others are all over the ground." ”

The Emperor said, "I will not make peace with the Tatars. ”

Zhai Song raised his head in surprise: "Is the emperor preparing to start a war with the Tatars?" ”

The emperor raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes were like an abyss: "I will let the Zhang family transfer troops, and the various departments will begin to prepare for the war, and I will also drive the army to the north of Xinjiang." ”

Zhai Song thought that he had guessed the emperor's thoughts, but unexpectedly, the emperor's words changed: "It's just that I don't really want to attack Tatar, but to take the southeast." ”

When Zhai Song and the others heard this, they had a look of surprise on their faces.

The emperor continued: "Zhu Aiqing must have heard that Song Chengxuan is the eldest son of the King of Wei, and when the emperor was still alive, he had already punished the Wei Wang's family, but Song Chengxuan escaped punishment by hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, and then tried every means to overturn the case for the King of Wei, and the heart of rebellion was clear. ”

"Holy Wisdom," Zhai Song immediately came back to his senses after a moment, "This will catch Song Chengxuan off guard." ”

The emperor said: "It is rumored that Song Chengxuan is brave and invincible, do you dare to fight with him?" ”

Zhai Song and the others bowed again: "The ministers will definitely fight to capture the thief." ”

A satisfied smile appeared on the emperor's face.
