"Head Town, Nanchang is coming to Messin!"

After receiving the good news, Zhao Han arranged some affairs and was about to return to Ji'an as soon as possible, when he suddenly received a secret letter from Xu Ying.

After translating against the code, there are only eleven words: our army won a great victory, the people of Raozhou rebelled, and the city was trapped.

Zhao Han immediately laughed, Jiangxi is really a powder keg, the news of the defeat of the officers and soldiers came out, and the peasants of Raozhou Mansion immediately rebelled.

If you talk about the weight of enlistment, the whole Jiangxi should belong to Raozhou Mansion and Jianchang Mansion.

The people of Raozhou Mansion have to support King Huai.

The people of Jianchang Mansion have to support King Yi.

Although these two feudal kings occupied countless fields, the children of their clans (including the feudal kings themselves) had to be supplied by the local government, and the central court would not pay for it.

There are countless children in the clan, how can the people afford it?

Even when Zhang Juzheng changed the law, a whip law could not be implemented here, until Chongzhen hanged himself, and the peasants of the two provinces still handed over grain.

In addition to food, there is also servitude.

If the vassal kings want to build the garden, the people within a radius of dozens of miles will suffer, so obediently bring their own dry food to serve as a laborer.

Now it's cool, the peasants rebelled and captured the city, and I don't know if the Huai king ran away.

It can only be said that Zhao Han's successive victories have given great confidence to those who try to rebel.

By the time Zhao Han returned to Ji'an, there were already more than a dozen messengers gathered there, and even the Esoteric Sect in Nanfeng County had sent people.

"Congratulations to the triumph of the head town!"

At the wharf in the south of the city, officials of all sizes shouted in unison, and many people also shouted.

Perhaps a few months ago, the common people were afraid of the imperial court, but now a huge victory has immediately calmed the hearts of the people.

Even the gentry and merchants have become more honest.

More than a dozen anti-thief messengers from other places subconsciously wanted to bow down. But halfway through kneeling, he was stunned, the local officials were just making a fuss, and they were different from each other when they knelt in the crowd.

Zhao Han threw up his hand to Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others, and said: "I have been fighting abroad for more than two months, thanks to the monarchs to control the rear. ”

"Don't dare to be."

"It's a matter of duty."

"Do your best to serve the town!"

“……”

Surrounded by officials into the city, Pang Chunlai said as he walked: "More than a dozen envoys of the righteous army have come one after another, saying that they want to elect the general town as the co-ruler of Jiangxi. In particular, the Gannan Rebels were defeated by the governor of Liangguang and the governor of Fujian, and they asked the town to send troops to rescue. ”

"We'll talk about that later."

Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Han to send troops, he has just fought a big battle, the consumption of grain and grass is serious, and the soldiers are also a little tired, so they have to rest for at least half a year.

Moreover, the weapon station has been opened, and after all the outfits are changed, the combat power can be greatly improved.

Song Yingxing even instigated Zhao Han to capture Ningdu County, because Ningdu had sulfur mines, which were necessary to make gunpowder.

Ningdu is just east of Jishui County, and Zhao Han wrote a letter to directly deny it, he would rather send someone to buy it than continue to expand in the short term.

"Let them wait, I'll go home to visit Madame first," Zhao Han squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Madame is pregnant." ”

Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua glanced at each other, and their faces showed expressions of surprise.

The benefits brought by this news are no less than the defeat of the official army. The rebel leader has offspring, which can make the interior more stable and reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Entering the General Soldier's Mansion, they immediately went to work and no longer delayed Zhao Han going home to visit his wife.

Fei Rulan was standing at the gate of the inner courtyard and watching, she didn't go to the dock to join in the fun, first, she was afraid of having a fetal gas, and secondly, she didn't want to show up too much.

Seeing Zhao Han coming, Fei Rulan smiled and said, "Congratulations to my husband on his return from a great victory." ”

Fei Rulan was about to salute, but Zhao Han hurriedly helped his wife in and sat down: "You have to pay more attention when you are pregnant, can you invite an experienced mother?" ”

"Please," Xiyue came over with tea, "Master drink tea." ”

Zhao Hanniu took a sip and stroked his wife's lower abdomen, which was already slightly raised.

The pregnancy was confirmed at the beginning of May, and it is now the beginning of July, counting the time before the diagnosis, the child is at least four or five months old.

"Do you still vomit a lot?" Zhao Han asked.

Fei Rulan said with a smile: "Occasionally, I still want to vomit, but I didn't vomit as much as last month." ”

"Usually walk carefully, don't bend over casually, be careful of the tire gas." Zhao Han admonished.

Fei Rulan's heart was sweet, and at the same time she laughed: "Okay, you haven't been pregnant either." ”

Zhao Han called the old mother over again and asked some questions about raising the fetus, so as not to let Fei Rulan eat anything indiscriminately.

He was very disbelieving in the ancient level of motherhood!

When Zhao Han used to, he knew a kind of midwifery forceps, but unfortunately he didn't know what it looked like. And even if he can invent it, he doesn't dare to use it when his wife gives birth, because once it is not operated properly, it is likely to cause brain damage to the baby, and even lead to infant dementia, which has been banned in some countries.

On that day, Zhao Han was restless at home, for fear that Fei Rulan would bump into him.

In the end, he simply hid in his study and began to write some medical knowledge. He didn't know too professional, but he knew that he had to keep it clean during delivery, everything had to be boiled in boiling water, and the room had to be ventilated during confinement.

The day after returning home, Zhao Han still didn't go to work, and only asked people to carry all the official business and documents that had to be handled to the study in the inner courtyard.

There are many things that need to be signed and stamped by him, but in fact, the officials of the various departments of the General Military Office have already dealt with them. He can ignore the small things, and some major things must be sealed, and Zhao Han carved a big seal of "Jiangxi General Soldier" for himself.

Chinese New Year's Eve, moon viewing, stargazing.

Fei Rulan sat next to her, shaking the fan in her hand, looking at the Cowherd and Vega and said, "They see each other once a year, and I don't know when they will be able to stay together." ”

Zhao Han lay on the bamboo chair and said with a smile: "Madame, you know that one day in the sky and one year in the ground. ”

"That's the way it goes." Fei Rulan nodded.

Zhao Han pointed to the starry sky: "That Cowherd and Weaver Girl, wouldn't they be able to meet every day?" ”

Not only Fei Rulan, but even Xiyue next to her was so amused that she covered her mouth and snickered, thinking that Zhao Han's statement was too interesting.

But the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet every day, and it doesn't seem so romantic.

"Smack!"

Fei Rulan slapped the mosquito to death.

Zhao Han hurriedly said: "There are many mosquitoes in the yard, let's go back to the room and sleep first." ”

Fei Rulan just wanted to stand up, Zhao Han and Xiyue had already supported her left and right, Fei Rulan smiled and said: "It really doesn't matter that much, you guys are like this, I don't know how to walk." ”

Back in the bedroom, Xiyue flapped with a fan for a while to make sure that there were no mosquitoes in the mosquito net, and then helped Fei Rulan to bed.

The husband and wife leaned together, and after Xiyue left, Fei Rulan suddenly said: "Husband, you go to Xiyue's room." ”

"Sleeping." Zhao Han just didn't understand.

Fei Rulan said again: "My body is inconvenient, if my husband thinks about it, I can go to Xiyue at night." ”

Zhao Han had to make this matter clear: "I have already thought about it, if you are an emperor, you must have a concubine, that is a must, otherwise it is easy to be unstable in the court." However, I have to make a rule, the emperor can't have three palaces and six courts. At most, there is one queen and two concubines to ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline. Before I became the emperor, I must not take a concubine, otherwise wouldn't I take the lead in breaking the rules? ”

Fei Rulan also began to discuss this matter seriously: "What if a queen and two concubines give birth to daughters? Even if it's a son, what should I do if I die young? ”

Zhao Han was speechless for a moment, he forgot the level of motherhood in ancient times, and also forgot the extremely high rate of child death.

The first queen and the second concubine really can't guarantee that the prince will grow up healthy.

Zhao Han is definitely going to be the emperor, on the one hand, out of selfishness, and on the other hand, out of public intentions.

If he does something too outrageous, let alone actually implement it, the news will be in chaos. The situation in China is too complicated for any political system in Europe and the United States to be copied and applied.

What's more, is the political system of Europe and the United States really so perfect?

Zhao Han thought about it carefully: "One queen, five concubines, it should be no problem." ”

"Who knows?" Fei Rulan said.

"Then it's decided, one queen, five concubines, no more, no more concubines and the like!" Zhao Han immediately made a decision.

As for the eunuchs, should there be such a thing?

I'm afraid that Zhao Han said that he wanted to cancel the eunuchs, and the following Wen Chenwu would fry the pot. The civil officials hate the eunuchs, but they hate the eunuchs in power, and if they really want to cancel it one day, they will do everything possible to keep the eunuchs.

The superficial reason is to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline and avoid any old kings, Lao Li and Lao Zhang in the harem.

And the deeper reason is also to maintain the stability of the court.

What if one day a suspicious person pops up and accuses the crown prince of not being born to the emperor, or simply suspects that the emperor has a problem, and uses this as an excuse to launch a coup d'état or rebellion?

The emperor's family affairs are no longer family affairs, but the major affairs of a country.

If you make the slightest mistake, you may lose your life and fight a bloody battle!

Zhao Han continued to think about it and decided to reduce the number of eunuchs and only use them in the inner palace. is in the imperial city, as long as you are not in the inner palace, you can use normal men to work.

The number of palace maids must also be reduced, and when the palace maids work for a certain number of years, they can be released to the people to allow them to marry, and a small number of old women who do not want to leave the palace can also be retained.

Thinking about it, the more Zhao Han thought about it, the more irritable he became, so he simply covered his head and slept and waited for it to be dealt with later.

After resting at home for three days, Zhao Han finally officially went to work.

The first person he saw was not those anti-thief envoys, but Wang Tiaoding, who specialized in theoretical research.

"I heard, what article did you write again?" Zhao Han asked.

Wang Tiaoding presented a few pages of manuscript paper: "It has not been announced to the public, and I don't know whether it should be announced to the public." ”

Zhao Han took it and looked at it, frowned and said, "Passing on the surname of the country?" ”

"The surname of the Confucian Ram School is changed, but it has been changed. The destiny of heaven is unusual, but virtue is supplemented," Wang Tiaoding was afraid that Zhao Han would not understand, and explained in detail, "These two sentences, from the "Book of Songs" and "Book of Shang", are not deviant from the scriptures, but serious Confucian remarks. Destiny is impermanent and cannot be permanent. The Son of Heaven was born in response to the mandate of Heaven, and his virtue lies in promoting benevolent government and nurturing all people. Now the great tomorrow cannot be benevolent and benevolent, and the people cannot be appeased. This is called a loss of morality, and a loss of the mandate of heaven. If there are virtuous people who ascend to the heights and shout, practice benevolent government, and soothe all the people, they will gain their virtue, and the destiny of heaven will return! ”
