Kunning Palace.

Song Xuan's left hand held the mutton fat jade hand of his wife Zhou Zhiruo, and his right hand was placed on her lower abdomen, gently caressing.

"I remember when I first met you, you were still a little girl who was just starting out of the rivers and lakes, and she would only cover her eyes when she bumped into someone, but she didn't expect to be a mother in a blink of an eye."

Emperor Song was a little emotional.

Time flies so fast, and before he knows it, he's going to be a father.

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were full of tenderness, his pretty face was pressed against his chest, feeling the surging and powerful heartbeat of his husband, and a sense of happiness arose.

"If you are really lucky, you can marry the person you like."

"Compared with Master and her old man, I don't know how many lifetimes of virtue I have accumulated in exchange for meeting my husband and you in this life."

Hearing that if he mentioned extinction, Song Xuan also sighed, "Your master has an extreme temperament, but he is also a hard-working person, I will take you back to Emei when I have time in the future to worship her old man." ”

Zhou Zhiruo was surprised and said, "Husband, is your identity appropriate?" ”

Song Xuan said with a smile: "I don't worship as an emperor, it's still okay to worship as a son-in-law of Wudang disciple Emei!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly smiled when he heard this, his eyes narrowed into a line, and he said softly: "Husband is so good!" ”

That night, Song Xuan stayed in Kunning Palace, but he didn't do anything more, but talked to Zhou Zhiruo and his wife for half a night, and then fell asleep.

Jingren Palace, Liu Qinglian waited for half a night, and after learning the news that Zhou Zhiruo was pregnant and the emperor went to accompany the queen, she glanced at Xiao Zhao with some unhappiness.

"Let you come early some time ago, you have to delay until now, now it's okay, Kunning Palace has already taken the lead."

Saying that, she lay straight on the bed, and said weakly: "I haven't fought before, and I can't compare to having a child, it seems that people are indeed the queen's life, and if you don't accept it, you can't accept it!" ”

Xiao Zhao's face was a little blushing, she also mustered up the courage to come to Liu Qinglian today, and she was still a little nervous about the matter of the two daughters working together.

At this moment, after learning the news that Childe would not come, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Sleep, sleep, get up early tomorrow, let's go to Jingren Palace to see Zhou Zhiruo."

Liu Qinglian yawned and stopped talking, and fell asleep after a while.

Xiao Zhao glanced at her with some admiration, and he had to admire in his heart, this White Lotus Sect saint has a really big heart, and it is a skill to say that she can sleep.

In the early morning, when the sky was slightly brighter, Liu Qinglian woke up from her sleep and felt that the bed was trembling slightly.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she heard Xiao Zhao's suppressed voice behind her.

"Brother-in-law, you tap, don't let Sister Qinglian know!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qinglian's brain buzzed.

When did my brother come?

Although she was curious, she still pretended to be asleep, lying on one side and not daring to move, she knew that her strange brother liked this kind of tone.

After playing a sister-in-law's sitcom with Xiao Zhao with satisfaction, Emperor Song Xuan drove Kunning Palace and had breakfast with Queen Zhou Zhiruo.

"Husband, you've been really busy this day......" Zhou Zhiruo's tone was a little resentful.

"Haha......" Song Xuan smiled awkwardly, didn't pick up at all, and said: "You have a good rest, you go to the court for your husband, and I will accompany you at night!" ”

In Zhou Zhiruo's funny gaze, Song Xuan fled in embarrassment.

......

After the spring ploughing, the fields that had been abandoned due to the war were gradually restored with the stability of the country, and a lot of wasteland was even reclaimed.

Song Xuan was very happy with this result.

The people had a livelihood, and the country began to enter a period of rapid development in an orderly manner, and Song Xuan's heart once again rose up with the intention of going out.

Although the Mongols have been defeated, their strength is still strong in Mobei and other places, and if they are given a few years to recover, they will inevitably make a comeback and covet the land of our Central Plains.

On this day, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.

When hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, Song Xuan mentioned the matter of going to the grassland.

The military attachés were naturally ecstatic, and after the establishment of the country, there was no war, and they kept shouting that they were about to be idle birds, and now when they heard that there was going to be a war, they suddenly came to their senses.

The civilian officials are not interested in sending troops, and even Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen are also exhorting, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor can wait for another two years, and it will not be too late to send troops when the Wu Dynasty is truly rich and strong.

In this regard, Song Xuan directly issued an order, and all departments in the court began to prepare.

Whether this battle is fought or not, the logistics must begin to prepare for war in advance.

In a word, I can not fight a war for a while, but if I want to fight, I must be able to send troops at any time.

After discussing the matter of sending troops outside the fortress, the court talked about another matter.

According to Tsing Yiwei's report, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo will arrive in the imperial capital in two days, and this time they are coming to pay tribute, and the hundred officials are very eager to discuss this.

Li Shanchang: "The former Yuan wanted to go to the Wa Kingdom several times, but they were all blocked by the storm, otherwise that island country is now the territory of my Wu Dynasty." ”

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Although the Mongols are brutal, I have to say that their military strength is still very strong, and they are invincible in the Western Regions and Mobei and other places. Our Wu Dynasty was able to drive the Yuan court away, and it was normal for the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo to come to pay tribute in fear. ”

Speaking of this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all showed pride.

The Celestial Empire is not called in vain, it is a real sword and a real gun fought on the battlefield, as the founding ministers, they do have this confidence.

After all, it was the first time that a foreign envoy came to pay tribute, and Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others said a lot about the etiquette and reception specifications, but Li Shanchang didn't talk much.

"One Sword Alone"

Song Xuan saw how eagerly they were discussing, and even quarreled over what specifications should be used, so he couldn't help but say something.

"Sooner or later, it's the territory of my Wu Dynasty, there's no need to take it too seriously!"

As soon as he said this, the ministers also stopped arguing, pondered for a while, and then slapped their thighs, it's really like this!

How strong the military strength of the Wu Dynasty was, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew very well, and the imperial court raised millions of soldiers, which was not idle to eat dry food, and sooner or later they would go out to fight.

Even the Mongol army, which was claimed to be invincible in the field, was no opponent, and how could a small country such as the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo be able to resist it?

In the future, the two countries will be included in the territory of the Wu Dynasty, and the Wu State will be nothing more than two more provinces.

Thinking about the fact that there is a big fight for the sake of the two envoys of the future province, it seems really unnecessary.

The courtier's enthusiasm suddenly dropped, Song Xuan glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "When the envoys of the two countries enter Beijing in the future, you will be responsible for receiving them."

These two countries are afraid of power but not morality, you know it in your own heart, there is no need to be too polite! ”

"Minister, obey!"
