Time flies, and time flies.

The cold comes and the summer comes, the spring goes to the autumn, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In the Jinling Imperial Palace, in the imperial garden, a small person is staggering, smiling and rushing forward. Several palace maids and eunuchs beside him followed cautiously, shouting, "The prince be careful, slow down......

They whispered, and at the same time, they all opened their hands, like hens guarding their chicks, for fear that there would be a mistake with His Royal Highness the Prince, who was unspeakably noble, and they would fall to the ground.

However, for the time being, they are a little worried, because this little Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not look at people rushing fast, but the lower plate is extremely solid, and it is completely impossible to overturn on the flat garden floor.

Looking at this scene, the men and women who were drinking tea and playing against each other in the pavilion in front of them just looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't care too much.

This is not only because they believe that the group of palace people who are guarding their son will definitely take care of him, but also because they also have absolute confidence in their eldest son, and they don't think that anything will happen to him.

This pair of men and women is naturally the Emperor Sun Ning of Dayue and the Empress Xiao Qian.

As their eldest son, Sun Huai was also officially canonized as the crown prince last year, although Xiao Qian was pregnant with another one in her belly at that time, but this still cannot change the fact that as the eldest son, he will become the lord of the world in the future.

And this time, when Xiao Qian gave birth to Sun Ning's second child again, as a father, he finally stayed by his side, and earlier than his wife, he was the first to take over his second child from Wen Po.

Of course, Sun Ning was very happy about this, but Xiao Qian was a little disappointed, because this second child was a daughter, and she wanted to add another heir to her husband.

Seeing this, Sun Ning naturally made a good statement and bluntly said that he liked his daughter more, which made Xiao Qian turn her worries into joy. Then in this period of Xiao Qian's slow recovery, Sun Ning also took out more time to accompany her and gave her more care.

Sun Ning was able to have this leisure, of course, because the situation inside and outside the court was quite good now.

In fact, in the past three years, all places under the governance of the Dayue Imperial Court have been thriving and thriving.

Under the premise that Sun Ning ordered three years ago to pay light taxes and recuperate with the people, the pressure on the people everywhere was quickly reduced.

Because there was no need to continue to fight abroad, the imperial court let more than half of the soldiers and horses go home, picked up hoes and other tools again, and used another way to feed their families and create more wealth.

Of course, these generals who were allowed to be released back to their hometowns were not all busy with agricultural work, and every 10 days, they would be gathered at the county level for a two-day drill.

Every ten years, the state capital will be the mainstay, and the military exercises between the counties will be carried out, so that these soldiers who have returned to their hometowns will not completely forget about the affairs of the army, and can quickly gather them when the court wants to use them, so that they can come as soon as they are called, and fight when they come!

As for the remaining half of the soldiers and horses, under the continuous training of many generals, they have become more and more elite, and have become the root cause of maintaining peace in Jiangnan, Lianghuai, Lianghu and other places.

If it were not for these soldiers and horses to guard everywhere and form a deterrent to all regions, I am afraid that as early as two years ago, when various localities carried out large-scale raids and arrests of local tyrants and eliminated unrest factors, a new round of riots would have occurred in many places.

Yes, just two years ago, under the careful investigation of the Wuyi Si spies, those local wealthy people who were plotting against each other, both ends of the head and the rat, and still thinking of being enemies of the imperial court, were all exposed.

For them, the imperial court naturally could not have any spare hands, and immediately sent soldiers and horses to arrest and interrogate the guilty, which even included a few of the nine surnames in Jiangnan who had survived for a long time.

But today's Jiangnan, it is no longer the time when they could control everything, in the face of the pressure of officials at all levels, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, these wealthy families, even if they want to resist and fight, in the end they can't make any waves.

In particular, when a few of them planned to directly pull the flag and rebel, but they were denounced by the slaves in their own families, and then they were destroyed by the government.

The other big clans in various places couldn't even show the courage to resist.

Because they knew very well that if they were obediently arrested, the court would only kill the people in charge of each family, and then confiscate most of their property, at least the other clansmen would have a chance to be pardoned.

But once there is a real rebellion, there is no way back, and everyone is dead.

In the end, even if some of the masters of the house still wanted to fight, none of the clansmen below dared to follow them. There have even been many cases of the children of the clan directly accusing the patriarch of the intention to rebel......

It's not that these people are selfish, but they really don't have a chance of winning by acting like this.

The soil on which these wealthy families used to gain power has been completely destroyed by the Dayue Imperial Court, and the lives of the people are getting better and more stable, who would risk their own and their families' lives for the sake of the so-called former relationship?

What's more, the people also have a scale in their hearts, and it is completely clear who is better to their own family in the current court and the wealthy families in the past.

No one would be stupid enough to do things for the wealthy family who once constantly exploited them, to fight against the government that made their lives better. Not to mention that the threat of officers and troops from all over the world is imminent again.

As a result, in just over half a year, this malaise that affected the local rule of the Dayue court from the root was uprooted.

This may also be related to the fact that the officials of the DPRK and China have not yet fully formed their power, and they are inextricably linked with the local wealthy families. Otherwise, I am afraid that if we really have to attack these forces, whether it is the government at all levels or the Wuyi Division, we will have to face all kinds of involvement, for fear that there will be a problem of rat trapping.

And after the internal problems are solved one by one, the external problems can naturally be dealt with calmly by Sun Ning.

In the past three years, the two forces of Dayue and the north, the Guirong people and the Celestial Army, naturally it is impossible to achieve complete peaceful coexistence.

Friction at the border junction occurs from time to time.

In this regard, Sun Ning's attitude is also quite resolute, as long as the foreign enemy dares to attack, he must resolutely fight back and keep the enemy out of the country.

However, as long as the enemy retreats, the front-line troops will not pursue further, but only ensure peace in the territory.

Yanhu, Chen Qingyun and other generals also strictly followed Sun Ning's set of guidelines, and in the many confrontations with the enemies of the two sides, they actually took some advantage.

However, on the whole, the whole world is still in a state of fragmentation, for Sun Ning, this is obviously not a long-term plan, and he is already starting to plan how to go further north.
