Li Sheng has been very upset recently, first about the reduction of troops, and the court is in an uproar, and now there is a case of the governor of Jiangnan accused of corruption and fraud, which makes him very annoyed.

Li Sheng removed the governor of Jiangnan, but the candidate for the successor has become a problem, Jiangnan is rich, outstanding people, is an important economic province, and the situation in Jiangnan is chaotic and complicated, the official position is small and afraid that it will not be able to suppress, and the official position is big and afraid of collusion, so the governor candidate is naturally extra cautious, Li Sheng looked at the ministers of the court, but did not find a suitable one.

The main reason is that he has been on the throne for too short a time, and he has not yet cultivated his own confidant ministers, so he is not at ease with anyone to go.

Li Sheng was annoyed by this matter and went around in circles in the imperial study every day.

In the end, Xu Guanyi gave advice.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a ready-made candidate, and except for him, I'm afraid that no one can pick up a stall in Jiangnan." Xu Guanyi said with a smile.

Li Sheng nodded the table: "Lord Xu, if you have something to say, just say it!" Don't beat around the bush, you see how much trouble you've been giving me lately? ”

Xu Guanyi smiled embarrassedly: "It's the minister who embarrassed His Majesty, but the minister is loyal to His Majesty, Your Majesty knows it!" After a pause, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the governor of Jiangnan is not up to the task!" ”

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, then glanced at him suspiciously, and said hesitantly: "I know that the two of you have a disagreement in the past few days because of the reduction of troops, but you are confidants and friends......

Xu Guanyi said a little funny: "Your Majesty thinks that the minister is jealous of Ah Zhan, so he let him take this hot potato?" After a pause, he shook his head: "Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister, and the minister's rejection of Ah Zhan is justified." ”

Li Sheng didn't speak, and Xu Guanyi continued: "Your Majesty, you also know that Ah Zhan and Lord Su have always wanted to overturn the case for the former governor of Jiangnan, Lin Zhengan, and the minister has checked, when Lin Zhengan was the governor of Jiangnan, he made remarkable achievements, all the tax accounts were clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and he was also generally loved and supported by Lord Lin, and he was very valued by the emperor, so to speak, he is the person who knows the situation in Jiangnan best!" ”

"If you appoint Ah Zhan as the governor of Jiangnan, and then have Lord Lin by his side, firstly, you can solve the corruption in Jiangnan as soon as possible, and secondly, you can also do Ah Zhan a favor, you can take Lord Lin back, not to reinstate the official, but to send Lord Lin to Jiangnan for this reason, the Lin family and the Su family have a great relationship, if it is to assist others, Lord Lin may be reluctant, but for Ah Zhan, Lord Lin will definitely do his best!" Xu Guanyi said: "In addition, Your Majesty also knows that the qualifications of the minister and Ah Zhan are still light, not enough to serve the public, and when Ah Zhan has the achievements of the ruling party, when he returns to Beijing in the future, His Majesty will be entrusted with important tasks, and others will not be able to speak, isn't this a good way to kill two birds with one stone?" ”

Li Sheng is extremely important to Xu Guanyi and Su Zhan, both of them are literati, and they are bold and careful, and they are extremely smart, so Li Sheng is very relieved to use them, and their promotion in the future will definitely be more than the position in front of him, but the two of them are really too young, even if he wants to reuse them, it is difficult to convince the public.

Now some people still say that Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi actually don't really learn from reality, they are completely lucky to follow the right person, and they have today's status by virtue of their dragon skills.

Li Sheng really didn't want to hear such a voice, in order to dispel the doubts of the outside world and let them prove their strength, maybe it was a better choice.

Li Sheng nodded slowly, this is indeed a good method, the most important thing is to solve his urgent need.

"Well, this is a good way, go back and talk to Ah Zhan, he must be happy to be able to save Lord Lin." Li Sheng said with a smile.

Xu Guan nodded, and Li Sheng said again: "Also, about the matter of reducing troops, let's put this matter aside for a while, my uncle is like a son and son to me, and I really don't want to break his heart." ”

"Your Majesty! The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, you will not understand, if we give up at this time, it will be difficult to take the military power of the retrospective family in the future! Your Majesty, please think again! Xu Guanyi said sincerely.

Li Sheng wrinkled his brows and was silent in thought, how could he not know that what Xu Guanyi said made sense? It's just that I do have some concerns in my heart.

Xu Guanyi said earnestly: "Your Majesty, General Gu is loyal to the country, as long as you are moved and analyze the pros and cons, General Gu is so reasonable, and he will not object, Your Majesty, this is the best opportunity, Your Majesty must not be emotional, you should pay attention to the society of the country!" ”

Li Sheng's expression was obscure, and finally nodded: "Let me think about it again." ”

Xu Guan prophesied, and seeing that Li Sheng didn't want to talk more, he finally had to swallow his full stomach and salute and leave.

Li Sheng wanted to appoint Su Zhan as the governor of Jiangnan, and it soon spread out, you know, although the Beijing officials are expensive, but there are too many powerful people in the capital, Su Zhan is really not very eye-catching, but the governor of Jiangnan is different, this is a feudal official, especially in such a rich and prosperous place as Jiangnan, he is basically the emperor of the soil, and the emperor is far away, and it is all up to him.

That's a good thing! And everyone can see that Su Zhan went to Jiangnan this time to boil his qualifications - look at the people, if he is not a celebrity in front of the emperor, he even goes to a place like Jiangnan for his qualifications.

Su Jie quickly told Mrs. Su the news, and as soon as the two of them were together, they decided to find an opportunity to propose to Su Zhan about the succession.

As a party, Su Zhan was a little hesitant and entangled, not knowing whether he should take over the appointment, although Li Sheng was willing to let him go to Jiangnan, it was not enough to ask him for his personal opinion.

This can be regarded as a strong personal characteristic of Li Sheng, even if he is now the emperor, but he deliberately maintained Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi and others, and the kind of tolerance before he ascended the throne gave them more opportunities to choose.

However, this kind of tolerance disappeared strangely when treating Gu Junyan, and Su Zhan could feel that since Li Sheng ascended the throne, he was no longer as close to Gu Junyan as before, and there was naturally a change in the identities of the two people, as for the rest, Su Zhan was reluctant to think deeply.

Xu Guanyi was also aware of this, so he put forward a proposal to reduce the army, if Li Sheng trusted the Gu family as always, with Xu Guanyi's intelligence, he would never mention it.

Far away, Su Zhan thought of Li Sheng's attitude when he mentioned Jiangnan to him, he knew that Li Sheng really wanted him to go, but he still asked his opinion.

Su Zhan hesitated not for anything else, but was worried that he would leave, leaving so many people in the family, Chen's ears were soft, and Ah Wan was protecting her before, but now Ah Wan is also married, how can she be good?

There is no reason to bring his wife to office together.

Su Zhan hesitated for a while and didn't have an answer, and finally went to find Su Yunlai.

Su Yunlai smiled when he saw him, and Su Zhan also smiled.

"I said, do you have two in your belly? Why is it so big? Su Zhan said puzzled.

Su Yunlai immediately said worriedly: "Third brother, look at me, am I fat again?" Jun Yaojing fooled me! ”

No woman doesn't care about her appearance, especially after she is pregnant, Su Yunlai's temperament is a little unpredictable.

Su Zhan said impatiently: "Go and go, this kind of thing is difficult for the young general, I just want to be my brother!" After a pause, his eyes couldn't help but wander around: "Today, just, just yourself?" ”

"Xiaobao is practicing martial arts outside, didn't the third brother see him?" Su Yunlai said suspiciously.

Su Zhan was angry: "I didn't ask him!" ”

Su Yunlai blinked: "Oh, then I don't know much, after all, I'm just a younger sister, and I can't care about the affairs in my brother's room." ”

Su Zhan: "......"

It's still not cute after getting married!

Su Zhan was a little upset, and couldn't pull her face to beg her, so she said, "Forget it, I came to you for one thing." ”

"The third brother doesn't want to go to Jiangnan?" Su Yunlai asked, and when he saw his surprise after asking, he said with a smile: "The governor of Jiangnan is promoted, but the third brother has a sad look and no joy, which shows that the third brother is unwilling to go to Jiangnan." ”

Su Zhan sighed: "I really don't want to go, Jiangnan is so far away, what should my mother do?" You know that at home......"

"Third brother, go ahead." Su Yunlai interrupted him and said, "Accept Your Majesty's order and go to Jiangnan." ”

Su Zhan was stunned for a moment: "You ......"

"Third brother, I know you have a lot of worries, but you are going to Jiangnan, only if you leave, the Su family will not be able to calculate you." Su Yunlai said: "You and your third sister-in-law have been married for so long, and you should have a child, but the child can't grow up in the Su family's environment." ”

The Su family's chickens and dogs are indeed very disturbing, and Su Zhan's expression darkened.

Su Yunlai smiled and said, "Why, although I am a married daughter now, the third brother treats me as an outsider?" My mother is also my mother, and of course I have to take care of her. The third brother, the third sister-in-law has lived these days, she has been washing her face with tears, she doesn't think about tea and dinner, she married you, do you really bear to let her suffer? ”

"But mother......" Su Zhan still hesitated.

Su Yunlai said: "Mother, don't worry, in fact, these days, I have been thinking about the way out of our house, I originally wanted to wait until I gave birth to a child and then planned, but I didn't expect ......"

When Su Yun said this, a flash of deep thought flashed in her eyes, this time Su Zhan's distant transfer, she already knew that Xu Guanyi proposed it to Li Sheng, regardless of whether he had other intentions or not, but this move coincided with her, she originally wanted Su Zhan to leave the capital.

"I've already thought about it, and when you leave, I'll let Jun Yan find an excuse to let my father find a place close to Jiangnan to find an official to do, and then I can be closer to you." Su Yunlai said softly: "When my father and mother leave the capital, you can rest assured." ”

Su Zhan didn't expect that Su Yunlai was still worried about her mother's family during pregnancy, and felt more and more that her brother had failed.

"Ah Wan ......"

Su Yunlai smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and see the third sister-in-law, she has been waiting for you." ”

Su Zhan nodded, turned around and walked out, Su Yunlai sighed softly, hoping that everything would go well.

Su Zhan and Qi Shuying met, and they made a fuss, crying and screaming, and then happily went home hand in hand, drawing a happy end to the first quarrel between the two after marriage.

As soon as Qi Shuying left, Gu Junyan began to close the door without saying a word, and all the visitors were gone, because Su Yunlai was about to give birth, although it was said that there was still a month, but the young general was still very nervous because he was worried that someone would disturb Su Yunlai's rest.

And Su Zhan also had to start preparing for the trip to Jiangnan, but after he packed up, he didn't go, and it rained heavily in the capital for days, so he couldn't hurry at all.

The heavy rain lasted for half a month, according to the old people in the house, they had never seen such a heavy rain in the capital, this is God is angry, and God will be angry? Naturally, as the Son of Heaven, he misbehaved, which caused dissatisfaction from God.

For a time, rumors about Li Sheng's moral failures spread among the people.

Li Sheng was very anxious to get angry, but he really didn't have any negligent words and deeds, but many ministers in the court and the central government wrote to Li Sheng to 'sin himself'.

Li Sheng's grievances, what did he do, and he still had to sin himself?

Li Sheng also had a temper and would never compromise, so he had a stalemate with the ministers, and the ministers folded one by one, and the words they said were more serious than the other.

In the imperial study, Li Sheng was furious.

"Oh, okay, if I don't write the next edict, I'm afraid this country will die!" Li Sheng opened a fold and threw it out angrily.

Su Zhan and Xu Guan glanced at each other, but they were silent and did not speak.

At this time, the atmosphere in the General's Mansion was also very solemn, because today was the day when the Imperial Doctor had speculated that Su Yun would come to give birth, and it was pouring rain outside, and there was a dampness in the air, which made me a little upset.

The people in Su Yunlai's courtyard were all nervous and ready to wait, but Su Yunlai did not have the slightest seizure, holding Jun Yao's hand and turning around the room twice, holding up a huge belly, trembling.

Gu Junyan was terrified on the side: "Ah Wan, Ah Wan, don't scare me, or you go back to bed and rest first!" ”

Su Yunlai glanced at him: "It's so serious, I think the doctor is misdiagnosed, this kid hasn't figured it out yet, don't believe it, I can still jump!" ”

"I believe, I believe! Don't jump! Gu Junyan hurriedly said.

Su Yunlai was very excited, and walked back, when suddenly there was a lightning flash and thunder in the sky, Su Yunlai couldn't help but tremble, and then he felt that something was flowing out of his chest and body.

Su Yunlai's face turned pale, and he grabbed Gu Junyan's hand: "Jun, Junyan...... Maternity wife, has you found a midwife? I, I feel like I'm going to give birth. ”

Gu Junyan's face was whiter than Su Yunlai's, and for the first time, the calm and calm young general realized what it meant to be at a loss, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet when he stood still.

"Going to give birth? So what about that?! Gu Junyan asked in a trembling voice.

But after saying a word, a dense layer of sweat oozed from Su Yunlai's forehead, and she said with difficulty: "Jun Yan, help me to the bed first, Jun Yao, go and ask the midwife." ”

Gu Junyan made one action and one order, he directly picked up Su Yunlai, and then put him on the bed.

Su Yunlai was lying on the bed, sweat running down her face, her breathing was slightly short, she thought about what the midwife had said, slow down her breathing, and relax the whole person.

She was relaxed, but there was someone around her who was more nervous than her.

"Ah Wan! Do you hurt? You okay? If it hurts, bite me! Gu Junyan shouted nervously on the side.

Su Yunlai had just found a little sense of relaxation, and when she was called by him, she became nervous again, and she was furious: "You, you give me out!" ”

Gu Junyan looked reluctant: "I don't want to leave you, I want to accompany you, Ah Wan, are you in pain?" ”

Gu Junyan's face was bloodless, thinking that his mother died because of the difficulty, and seeing Su Yunlai's weak face now, his tall body actually shook.

"If we don't give birth, we won't give birth to Ah Wan." Gu Junyan's eyes were red as he spoke.

Su Yunlai was helpless, sighed softly, she slowed down her voice: "I'm fine, really, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all......" She almost gritted her teeth and said, and in the end, she didn't know if it was a seizure, a shock came, and she couldn't help but moan softly.

Gu Junyan's face turned pale again, but fortunately, Jun Yao rushed over with the midwife, and the midwife immediately drove Gu Junyan out.

"Young General, it will take a while for Madame to give birth, I have to eat something, can the Major General prepare something for Madame to eat?" As long as it is good to eat, it is best to boil a bowl of chicken soup and drink it after Mrs. gives birth. ”

Gu Junyan really wanted to do something for Su Yunlai, as soon as he heard this, he walked out in the rain without saying a word, and as soon as he left, Su Yunlai breathed a sigh of relief.

The midwife smiled and held Su Yunlai's hand: "Don't worry, madam, it'll be fine, follow the old woman, inhale and exhale...... Yes, that's it, take it easy, it's not time to exert yourself......"

As soon as Gu Junyan went out, he couldn't get in, the little maid was desperately stopping Gu Junyan outside, Gu Junyan was angry, and the little maid trembled and said: "Yes, it was ordered by the young lady, and the young lady said that the young general can't go in!" ”

One sentence made Gu Junyan pause, but when he heard the screams coming from inside, he couldn't help but shudder.

In the imperial study, Xiao Dezi hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother fainted, just now announced the imperial doctor, ...... you look"

Li Sheng frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard that Concubine Ning went to greet the queen's mother, and it seems that her attitude is a little disrespectful...... The queen reprimanded Concubine Ning angrily, and then fainted. Xiao Dezi said in a low voice.

The lord of Anning entered the palace and became Concubine Ning's mother, and her temperament was as hot as ever, no one looked at it, compared to the queen, she was gentle and virtuous, and she was good to her subordinates, and she was very popular.

Li Sheng couldn't help but be a little displeased: "It's raining heavily, what else is she running around!" ”

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he also stood up, and said to Xu Guanyi and Su Zhan: "I will go to see the queen first, and you should also go back and think about it, I am afraid that tomorrow the group of ministers will sin against themselves again!" ”

Su Zhan and Xu Guanyi glanced at each other and bowed and retired.

When the two walked out of the imperial study, they heard the little eunuch outside whispering: "Your Majesty favored Concubine Ning alone some time ago, and Concubine Ning's menstrual affair was a few days late, so she couldn't wait to go to the queen to demonstrate!" Now I'm afraid it's going to be a fuss again. ”

"Shhhh

Su Zhan and Xu Guan walked away silently, knowing that when they walked out of the palace, Su Zhan sighed: "Life in this palace is not easy." ”

Xu Guanyi nodded approvingly.

As soon as Su Zhan was about to get into the carriage, he saw the little guy in the mansion coming: "Third young master, the seventh aunt and grandmother are about to give birth, and the third young grandmother has already gone to the general's mansion and asked the little one to pick up the third young master." ”

Hearing this, Su Zhan immediately climbed into the carriage and hurried all the way to the General's Mansion with the sound of rain falling and the sound of wheels.

When Li Sheng rushed to Qiwu Palace, the imperial doctor had already arrived, and he had already diagnosed Yun Huanting's pulse, and seeing that Li Sheng didn't wait for him to ask, he couldn't wait to say: "Good news to Your Majesty!" Niangniang is a happy pulse! Joyful pulse! ”

Li Sheng was stunned and couldn't help but be a little happy, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true, the queen mother is indeed pregnant, and it has been more than a month." The Imperial Physician said with a smile.

Li Sheng's face was overjoyed, things in the court had not been going well recently, and there was finally a happy event.

Li Sheng held Yun Huanting's hand and talked to her for a long time, Yun Huanting had a blush on her face: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, you don't have to worry about the concubine, the concubine will definitely take good care of herself and her children." ”

Li Sheng bowed his head slightly with relief, and his heart was also much relieved.

Jing Fen on the side said happily: "It has rained heavily in the past few days, and now that Niangniang is pregnant, she can also keep the clouds open and see the moon, maybe the heavy rain will stop!" ”

Yun Huanting glared at her: "It's pure nonsense." ”

Jingfen stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak again.

When Su Zhan arrived at the General's Mansion, he was already soaked, and before it rained, he saw Gu Junyan standing outside like a sculpture.

"The second wife and the third young grandmother are inside, and the young general is guarding here." The little maid whispered.

Su Zhan sighed and patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them stood in one place silently waiting for the news inside.

Su Yunlai's painful cries came from time to time, Gu Junyan's face turned pale, Su Zhan silently held his hand to cheer him up, but in the end, Su Zhan couldn't hold it anymore.

He thought that he and Qi Shuying still had to have a child, but why didn't anyone tell him that it would be so painful for a woman to give birth?

I don't know how long it took, but at last a baby's cry came out of the house, and after a while, the midwife came out of the house with joy.

"Congratulations to the Major General, congratulations to the Major General, mother and daughter are safe!" The midwife said happily.

In the whole sentence, Gu Junyan only heard two words: peace! Ah Wan is fine! He relaxed, his whole body trembling, and he almost didn't stand.

Gu Junyan was about to walk inside, but he was suddenly dragged by Su Zhan, he turned back impatiently, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the little maid shouting: "Hey! The rain has stopped! The rain has stopped! ”

"Yes, the rain has stopped after so long! Look, there's a rainbow! ”

The midwife was still shouting: "The little lady was born with rain and sunny weather, but it is a good omen and a blessing!" ”

Su Zhan said in a low voice: "As soon as the child is born, the heavy rain will stop, Jun Yan ......"

Visions from the sky sometimes represent trillions, and sometimes they represent fierce appearances, depending on how people interpret them.

Gu Junyan shook off his hand without hesitation and walked directly into the delivery room.
