Chapter 182: The Question of Heirs

The port of Marseille, today the inhabitants find the port very different from usual, a large number of gendarmes wearing white helmets, white armed belts and white gloves have blocked the port, and all workers entering and leaving must be strictly checked before entering.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, a huge fleet appeared on the horizon outside the harbor, at the front of the fleet were two huge battleships, and behind the battleships were more than a hundred other warships or merchant ships, large and small, and the battleships of the Union Navy whistled their whistles to approach the fleet, and the fleet also whistled to welcome.

"Welcome to the Commonwealth again. ”

"It is a great honor to be able to see Your Majesty again, and your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, and you deserve to die for a long time. ”

Azrael, who had just disembarked, shook hands with Ouyang Yu, who had been waiting for a long time.

After a long journey of more than ten days, the southern countries finally arrived in the city of Marseille, and this time they brought 1.5 million tons of grain, 700,000 tons of various ores, 10,000 tons of magic crystals, and industrial equipment worth tens of millions of silver coins.

This time, there were also tens of thousands of coalition officers and soldiers who arrived with the convoy, and these officers and soldiers came to learn the methods and tactics of using new weapons such as tanks and fighters, as well as maintenance. Training is available at an additional cost.

When the fleet arrived, the workers at the dock got busy. Batches of supplies were unloaded. Loaded onto trucks and transported to the train station, then transported to various places, the ships were emptied and the weapons were loaded again, and the southbound Federation soldiers lined up on the passenger ship that transported them, and everything was in order.

The commander who was in charge of directing the battle this time was the commander of the First Army of the newcomers, the natural man Admiral Charles Petain, who was a famous general of the former Gallic Kingdom and was fifty years old this year. Known for being good at accepting new things and using new things, the battle command is relatively decent, and there are no outstanding victories when fighting with the Imperial Army, but there is also not much record of defeat, and after joining the Federal Army, he studied new tactics and tactics hard, and he is a rare talent in Ouyang Yu's hands who can take charge of himself.

"Pétain, if you can make a show of our Federation army in the south this time, I will take the marshal's badge with my own hands. ”

Before leaving, Ouyang Yu called Admiral Petain and a group of generals to the front to encourage and admonish, and after listening to Ouyang Yu's promised reward, Admiral Petain replied with a little excitement: "Please let your Majesty go." I will certainly live up to your expectations and play the prestige of our federal army!"

"Good. Ouyang Yu smiled and nodded appreciatively. But immediately put away his smile and continued solemnly: "But you need to be careful, you can't ignore the lives of soldiers for the sake of your rank, if you do this, even if you win a big battle, I will remove you from your post and investigate, and then you and your whole family will go to the northern alliance country to dig potatoes!"

"Yes, I must take your orders to heart!" Admiral Petain did not dare to ignore Ouyang Yu's warning, and once again stood up and assured loudly.

Ouyang Yu overthrew the old nobles when he overthrew the old nobles, all of them were sent to the labor camps of the northernmost and coldest member countries of the Federation, and they were reformed through labor under the supervision of the army, and after the old nobles were arrested, they and their families would also be sent to the labor camps to serve their sentences for officials who were corrupt and committed great mistakes, in addition to the above two kinds of people, there were many felons who were also sent to the labor camps, from the first day of Ouyang Yu's ascension to the throne to the present, there have been almost 70,000 people sent to labor camps of all sizes。

The conditions in the labor camps in the northern countries were harsh, and they were all built in uninhabited areas, spending half of the year in the cold winter, only one month in the summer, and much colder in spring and autumn than in the rest of the eastern continent.

At first, there were people who wanted to escape from the labor camp every day, but so far no one could successfully escape, and there were only two ends for those who escaped and were caught, one was to be killed by the guards in the process of escaping, and the other was to be shot in front of everyone after being captured.

In this queue to the south, Ouyang Yu personally recruited Verugin, who was known as a genius staff officer, and he was called in front of him by Ouyang Yu.

"Virugin has done a good job in going south this time, assisting Admiral Petain with all his heart, and when you come back, I will officiate at the wedding for you and Alicia. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Alicia and I desperately want you to officiate at our wedding. ”

VIRUGIN, WHO DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE HAD SET UP A DEATH FLAG, EXCITEDLY SALUTED OUYANG YU WITH A STANDARD MILITARY SALUTE, HOPING THAT THE ANCESTORS WOULD BLESS HIM WITH A SMOOTH RETURN, AMEN.

Farewell to the generals who went south to fight, returned to the temporary manor and talked about attracting investment with Azrael, the federation has huge funds in its hands, and most of the men have been conscripted to the battlefield because of the wars in the southern countries every year, so the commercial transactions and production have shrunk seriously, so that the merchants of the federation, including Azrael, have lost a lot, although the profits of the military industry have made up for a lot of losses, but after all, they have reduced the profits of the merchants, so the merchants in the south have taken a fancy to end the war and urgently need to develop the federation, hoping to enter the market of the federation and transfer capital profits。

In fact, Ouyang Yu also needs a lot of capital to enter the domestic market, her country's industry and commerce are not developed, whether it is her home country or the four northern member countries, they are mainly based on agricultural production, that is, the so-called primary industry, in Ouyang Yu's own plan, she intends to build the federation into a developed country with all industries like Huaxia, so her ideas and the ideas of the southern businessmen hit it off. Within a few days, a series of cooperation intentions were reached with Azrael. Open up the federal market and introduce preferential investment policies. Funded and skilled by Southern merchants, she provided land and workers to work together to develop and build the Union's light and heavy industries.

Sent Azrael Ouyang Yu took the girls back to Chang'an City by train, and threw himself into the official duties that could never be handled.

At one o'clock in the morning, Wei Qingfeng personally cooked a supper and sent it to Ouyang Yu's office, since this trip, the two have lived together publicly, and the domestic officials have been talking in Ouyang Yu's ears after knowing about this matter, and there are many love and fake dramas between women and girls in high society. But all of them are in a state of secrecy and dare not make it public, as long as it is not publicized everywhere with great fanfare, ordinary people will not care, but it will cause more men's interest and suitors will increase greatly, but there is no one like Ouyang Yu.

As the saying goes, although the lily is good, it is a pity that it cannot be born. The heir is the foundation of the continuation of the imperial power, and it is also the foundation of the political stability, Ouyang Yu herself is a woman, and she does not find a man to be the heir of the prince, which is called who the officials will be loyal to in the future? What should be the country she established after her death? Therefore, Ouyang Yu's marriage is not her alone, but the entire empire and the federation. Something common to 30 million people, and a very important thing.

So after Ouyang Yu and Wei Qingfeng lived together publicly, the officials did not find much trouble. Officials large and small seemed to have no heirs, and they kept admonishing Ouyang Yu with a sad face, asking her to find a man to have children, but none of the officials mentioned abolishing Wei Qingfeng's status as the queen, this is because the officials only asked Ouyang Yu to give birth to children, regardless of whether men and women have heirs, they have objects to continue to be loyal to, as for whether she likes women or men It is none of their business, the emperor can have the rights of seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courts, and when the time comes, just throw that man as a concubine and throw it aside, Ouyang Yu can continue to live happily with her queen。

When an official told Ouyang Yu about this suggestion, Ouyang Yu was furious on the spot and sent the official to the city gate as a tax collector, and since then her ears have been a lot closer, but there are still some important officials, including the prime minister, who are still mentioning the matter of the heir, Ouyang Yu can't send the prime minister to the city gate to collect taxes, so he can only take their advice as a deaf ear.

"Xiao Yu, let's eat something late at night. ”

The supper sent by Wei Qingfeng was Ouyang Yu's favorite rock sugar lotus seed porridge, Ouyang Yu, who was reviewing the important documents sent by the cabinet, motioned for her to put it down first, Wei Qingfeng put the small bowl containing the porridge on the coffee table in the office, and sat quietly to the side to watch Ouyang Yu review the official documents.

It is said that men who work hard are the most handsome, in fact, women who work hard are the same, the more Wei Qingfeng looks at Ouyang Yu, the more he likes it, and the more he feels that he is the best old age object with himself, but she is also clear about the pressure of officials on Ouyang Yu during this period of time, and the pressure on Ouyang Yu is also the pressure on her, sometimes when she can't sleep, Wei Qingfeng fantasizes that it would be good if she was a man, of course, it would be better if Ouyang Yu was a man.

As soon as he thought of Ouyang Yu, who had become a man, pressing himself under him and crying tactfully, Wei Qingfeng's little face suddenly turned red, and he was embarrassed to cover it with his two little hands.

"Why is your face red?"

At this time, Ouyang Yu just finished the office and sat beside her, Wei Qingfeng blurted out without thinking: "Refreshed." ”

"Poof!"

The porridge that Ouyang Yu had just eaten in her mouth was squirted out by her, and she complained in her heart: "Sister, are you Yang Zirong who outwitted Weihu Mountain? ”

Wei Qingfeng took a handkerchief and hurriedly wiped Ouyang Yu's mouth, "You are already an emperor, how can you still be like a child, you will squirt out when you eat." ”

The corners of Ouyang Yu's mouth twitched and he didn't answer, and remained silent wisely, after eating supper, it was already more than two o'clock in the middle of the night after Ouyang Yu approved all the official documents, Wei Qingfeng had been with her, but she still couldn't hold on and fell asleep on the sofa.

There was a lounge in the office, Ouyang Yu gently picked up the sleeping Wei Qingfeng, put her on the big bed in the lounge, and helped her take off her clothes lightly, and she herself took off her clothes and got into the bed.

As the saying goes, there are thoughts and dreams every day, even in his sleep, Wei Qingfeng is worried about Ouyang Yu's heirs, a pair of embroidered eyebrows are tightly wrinkled together, Ouyang Yu's left hand passed through her neck, half-hugged her into his arms, and his right hand gently smoothed her frowning embroidered eyebrows, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm your husband, just leave everything to me, your task is to live happily with Qinghuang every day until the day we die." ”

After a gentle kiss on Wei Qingfeng's smooth forehead, Ouyang Yu, who had been tired for a day, gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Ouyang Yu summoned all the cabinet members, the prime minister, the deputy prime minister, the ministers and deputy ministers of various ministries, and many generals from the staff headquarters of the three services, a total of twenty or thirty people, gathered together to wait for Ouyang Yu's lecture.

Ouyang Yu wore a white empress dress that is only used on formal occasions, wore a golden crown on her head, and held a scepter in her hand, standing in front of the prime minister, ministers, and generals, and said loudly: "Everyone, you have been bothering me a lot about the question of the heir recently, and I also understand and understand your difficulties and thoughts, and I will give you a clear answer now." ”

Ouyang Yu's words made everyone cheer up, ready to listen carefully to her next speech, it was best to find a man to have children as they expected, so that they could recommend the best men in the family to Ouyang Yu, so that the royal blood of the empire would have half of their own family's blood.

"I am here to tell you clearly, I will not let any man touch me, let alone give birth to a child, the heir I will find another way, such as choosing a smart boy or girl among my people as my heir to the throne, from now on no one is allowed to discuss my private life, if anyone dares to discuss or maliciously spread rumors, the door of the labor camp is open for him at any time!"

Ouyang Yu's murderous words made everyone shudder, everyone present was very clear about her character, don't look at Ouyang Yu's usual gentle appearance, if you really want to kill, people will definitely not be soft, and it is a soft knife to kill, and the person who was killed doesn't even know how to die.

"Yes, according to His Majesty's will. ”×N。

Ouyang Yu showed a satisfied smile, "Very good, you guys should step aside." (To be continued.) )
