Chapter 966: Finale
To attack Jingzhong is the next step.
The state of Li had just eaten Dongling, and the treasury was not enough to support them for another war.
Dongling and Liguo belong to the same area, no matter how you get it, if you cross the Tiebei Ridge to attack Jingzhong, it will be equivalent to offending the common interests of another region, and it will be attacked by a group.
Therefore, for the state of Li, the best plan is to recuperate the people's livelihood, move the capital to Jiujun, develop and expand the tea business, and then consolidate the status of the golden tea ceremony and the commercial and trade center of various countries, and fill the treasury to strengthen the national strength and appeal.
The secret passage from Jingzhong to Dongling had already fallen into the hands of Liguo, and Chonghua had sent heavy troops to guard it to ensure that no more uncontrollable people would suddenly come out of there.
In the spring of that year, Chonghua announced another good news to the ministers.
The queen is pregnant, it has been nearly three months, and the calculation of the time is almost within a month after His Majesty the Emperor returned to the court.
Everyone hopes that the queen will have another son in this child, after all, for the royal family, the more sons, the better.
But the emperor and queen were looking forward to the first child being a daughter, so the ministers quietly made a bet in their free time, betting on whether the queen's child was male or female.
After the emperor heard about it, he asked people to quietly take the money and invest in two places for men and women respectively to ensure that they did not lose money.
When the concubines of the harem heard the good news, they collectively complained about their illness for three days, and they didn't want to see those two people, why did they love and give birth to babies constantly, so they had to stay in the palace, and they were only alone?
It's really infuriating.
Zhou Jieyu cried red eyes during a monthly meeting with her family, and then got a promise.
The next day, Mrs. Zhou entered the palace to see the queen's mother, saying that Zhou Jieyu was seriously ill, and hoped that the emperor would allow her to go out of the palace and go home to recuperate.
Zhong Weiwei agreed without hesitation, this was what she had discussed with Chonghua, and she was willing to leave the palace and find happiness by herself, which was a very beautiful thing.
So Zhou Jieyu was quietly picked up by her family and lived a happy life ever since.
The news spread quickly, and soon the other concubines got the news, and Chen Qiyun found Zhong Weiwei, and he always beat around the bush.
first said that his health was not good, and then said that he wanted to lead the cultivation and pray for the blessings of Liguo, the emperor and his parents, but he refused to say that he wanted to leave the palace.
Zhong Weiwei maybe, and generously allowed her to take away some valuables, and rewarded a few, saying that she had worked hard and thanked her for helping her take care of palace affairs over the years.
Chen Qiyun burst into tears, and after bidding farewell to the emperor, he quickly packed up his burden and was taken out of the palace by his family to "lead the hair to practice".
With these two examples, everyone's minds were activated, and all kinds of various and strange excuses ran out.
Zhong Wei only agreed, and gave all financial support and provided various conveniences.
So, in the autumn of that year, the concubines in the palace walked cleanly, except for people like Lu Chun who couldn't and couldn't leave.
The whole court knows what is going on, and some people are very dissatisfied, thinking that Zhong Weiwei challenges the entire tradition, but unfortunately the emperor and queen are too strong, and they are also very good at singing white face and red face, and the resistance is ineffective, so they can only admit defeat.
Because Zhong Weiwei's second child is still a son, lively and strong, everyone can't say anything, so let's admit it for the time being.
In another two years, Zhong Weiwei was pregnant again, and this time the daughter was born, the little princess was born and was loved by thousands of people, and the three brothers above spoiled her in various ways.
Even the third brother, who is only two years older than her, knows how to give everything to his sister, the family is brothers, friends and brothers, and the parents love and filial piety to their children, which is simply a model.
The government is harmonious, the heavens are beautiful, and the tea of Liguo is well-known, almost monopolizing the entire market.
The tea fighting festival is held more and more grandly every year, the trade volume is renovated, many countries and merchants come here, and many scholars and nobles come here to study and learn the tea ceremony.
Zhong Weiwei ordered to plant locust trees all over the capital, so the locust flowers also became a scene, every early summer, the sweet fragrance overflowed the capital, and the literati and writers competed to chant.
The status of the golden tea ceremony and trade transit station is becoming more and more stable, the treasury is becoming more and more abundant, and the scale of the Nine Monarchs City is getting bigger and bigger.
As a result, the matter of moving the capital was officially put on the agenda.
In fact, Chonghua and Zhong Weiwei had already planned for this matter, and had made a lot of preparations, just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Now that the time has come, there's no need to wait.
The ministers had already been mentally prepared, and there were not too many people who opposed it, and some old clans and ministers who were unwilling to move the capital stayed here.
More people yearn for Jiujun, the climate of Jiujun City is warmer, the scenery is more beautiful, and it is a newly built city, the streets are wider, and the houses are newer.
Young people always prefer such places, and there are always more opportunities to open up new territories.
The Golden Tea Road was expanded to the front, and the lotus peak, which originally belonged to Dongling, was developed into another trading point, and the secret road was made public.
The products on the side of Tiebeiling, the tea silkworms and other things of Liguo were exchanged through this waterway, and the caravans on both sides often came and went.
The benefits are not just a little bit, more young people from Liguo have been sent out to study in another vast world, increase their knowledge, hone their will, and secretly draw what they have seen and heard into a book, and then quietly bring it back.
The people of Liguo knew the scene on the other side of the mountain, and Jingzhong was no longer a mystery for them, and they knew that they would not be defeated in a hundred battles.
On the contrary, Jingzhong's side still has the view that Li is a small barbarian country, unsuccessful, and can be wiped out with a light lifting of his fingers, arrogant and contemptuous, and will take care of it if it wants to, and give it a big white eye if he doesn't want to ignore it.
Unlike the people of Dongling, who were kind to the people of Dongling who were subdued, the people of Jingzhong regarded the Dongling Prefecture City that they had carved up at the beginning as other people's land, and they were not good at farming, but they only wanted to pick vegetables in it to grab the harvest.
Labor and exploitation are very heavy, and every official wants to scrape a little more, and he does not treat ordinary people as human beings, and he must be a "fool who loses the country" when he opens his mouth.
When the people on both sides are compared, the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.
The Dongling people under the rule of Li Guo secretly rejoiced, while the Dongling people under the rule of Jingzhong lamented that they were unlucky, and the result of the continuous resistance was more tyrannical and bloody suppression, and the cycle began again and again, becoming a vicious circle.
Zhong Weiwei and Chonghua both felt that in the long run, when Jingzhong really attacked Li Guo, they would also have the ability to fight.
After settling down in the new capital, it was already the autumn of the fifth year of subduing Dongling.
Zhong Weiwei was at a banquet for envoys and big businessmen from all over the world, when she suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and after being diagnosed by the imperial doctor, she was horrified to learn that she was pregnant again.
This matter is no less than a bolt from the blue for the queen mother who wants to make a big career.
Remembering the last time someone swore to her that there would be no problem, using a fish bladder, she was so angry that she ignored someone for three days and three nights, ate desperately, and ate herself with a round belly.
The following year, she gave birth to another son.
He has grown into a handsome boy again, and he began to run errands, and he didn't often stay in the palace.
Yuanzi was old-fashioned at a young age, and after leading his two younger siblings to look around the small bed for a while, he collectively let out a contemptuous "Cut!" How a son again! ”
The tone of expression is exactly the same as Chonghua's.
Zhong Weiwei didn't say anything, and looked at Chonghua sharply.
She was born so hard, and she was disgusted by him? I don't want to think about who hurt her. Could it be that her life is only about giving birth to children?
Chonghua was weak-hearted, and drove several children out violently, picked up the newborn, and looked loving: "Daddy's baby, obedient, don't be tired of your mother, your mother has worked hard......"
Zhong Weiwei snorted coldly, a man who is spineless and afraid of his wife, how could she not know that he was such a person before?
The newborn cried, Chonghua took advantage of the situation to hand him over to R Niang, leaned over, and said flatteringly: "This time we won't give birth, okay?" ”
Zhong Weiwei deliberately said: "Then who knows? What if something happens? ”
Chonghua took her hand and whispered, "I'm just afraid of accidents." ”
Zhong Weiwei instantly understood what he meant, he was afraid that she would have an accident and leave him.
"The doctor said that you are old, and your body has been damaged before, and you can't take risks anymore, it's my fault, and I won't do it again."
He sincerely took her hand and put it on his face, looking at her deeply, "Ah Wei, we said that we would grow old together." We haven't killed Wei Zizhao yet, avenging you, Yuanzi, and Sister A. ”
Zhong Wei only looked straight into the depths of his eyes, and nodded preciously: "Hmm! I promise you, I will do it! You must also promise me to stay with me until the end. ”
Chonghua lowered his head and lightly dropped a kiss on her forehead: "Okay." ”
Holding the hand of the son, the years are quiet.
He and she had already done most of what they were asking for, so they were all very lucky people.
