Chapter 422: Emperor Taishang's Regent
As her belly got bigger and bigger, Zhao Qingrui began to get used to it, and she had a lot of pregnancy reactions.
In addition, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and there are still a lot of things in the court, and Zhao Qingrui's mood is becoming more and more irritable.
Who's pregnant is so hard for her, it's too difficult.
However, she had to persevere, and these things had to be done by herself.
In the days after pregnancy, for Zhao Qingrui, there was a feeling of living like a year.
Zhao Qingrui always doesn't appear in front of people, which also causes some trouble, and there are more messy news outside.
Listening to Shang Lian's report on these things every day, Zhao Qingrui's mood was very impetuous.
"How far is the remaining journey, and how long do we have to return to Xianyang?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Lian.
"Back to Your Majesty, at the current pace, it will take more than five months to return to Xianyang." Shang Lian said seriously, this is because after Zhao Qingrui became pregnant, the calculation was carried out after streamlining a lot of steps on the way to the parade.
If it is according to the original plan, it will take at least half a year.
Zhao Qingrui rubbed her eyebrows, she knew that when planning the cruise, she didn't plan the route for such a long time, because of pregnancy, this cruise was actually not very useful.
"Let's go at this pace." Feeling the scorching sun shining in from the window, Zhao Qingrui sighed, she was not afraid of these high temperatures, but the people in the team were just ordinary people.
I just hope that this child will not be born outside, it has been three months now, Zhao Qingrui touched her belly, this is almost enough to catch up with someone who has been pregnant for several months.
Zhao Qingrui's eyebrows were sad, Shang Lian didn't know what to say, she naturally knew what His Majesty was worried about.
However, the DPRK and China are inseparable from His Majesty, and she also doesn't know what to do.
Now that the First Emperor is not in Great Qin, if he is there, he can still come out to preside over the overall situation at this time.
It's useless to think so much, and there's no way to change it at the moment.
When Ying Zheng contacted his daughter, he also felt her impetuousness.
In the past, there were many women in the harem who were pregnant, but he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing at all, he only cared about who gave birth to him.
After there are more children, I don't care about those things, anyway, there is no shortage of children, and there is no need to worry about which child dies, and there will be no successor to Daqin in the future.
"Father, why don't you come back early, Daqin needs you." Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng expectantly, if he came back, she would be able to rest more.
"It's okay, it's a little inconvenient for you to walk now, and it will definitely be more difficult in a few days, and the widow doesn't worry about you." After being silent for two seconds, Ying Zheng still decided not to wave outside, and her daughter was more important.
Moreover, he also wanted to be the first to see his two grandchildren when they were born.
The army on the side of the Mauryan Dynasty did not pose any challenge to Great Qin, and it also made him lose the interest he had at the beginning.
Invincible is so lonely.
"Father, do you really want to come back?" Zhao Qingrui said in surprise.
"yes, the army here is too weak, it's not challenging, it's boring." Ying Zheng sighed unhappily, it is better to fight with these people than to fight those huge sharks at sea.
"It really wasn't challenging." Zhao Qingrui thought of the situation of the Great Qin army and laughed, the army was practicing physical training methods, although it was only the basic version, there were countless food supplies, and the army that had been trained was naturally invincible.
Add to that those thermal weapons, and the outcome of the battle between the two sides was predestined from the very beginning.
Now that she heard that Ying Zheng was going to come back, Zhao Qingrui was still very happy.
With his father here, he is also familiar with all kinds of government affairs, and nothing will happen.
Ying Zheng's action is still very strong, and after making a decision, he called a few children and Mengyang and a few of them over on the second day, and said that they wanted to go back.
"The little sister's situation is special, and she really needs her father to go back to preside over the overall situation." Yin Yan instantly understood the current situation.
"Well, the Mauryan Dynasty here is not a threat, what to do, you can discuss and make up your mind." Ying Zheng looked at a few children, as well as the rising generals, these people are all able to take charge on their own, and there is no problem if he is not here.
Yin Yan's words made the hearts of the generals present tighten, what's wrong with Your Majesty?
They wanted to ask something, but Ying Zheng glanced at it, and they swallowed the question that came to their mouths, and the First Emperor didn't let them ask more.
Okay, don't ask, don't ask, Your Majesty's situation must be confidential, if more people know, the danger will definitely be greater.
Looking at their appearance, Ying Zheng knew that they had made up a lot of things in their brains.
But I didn't care much, when the two little ones were born, they would definitely tell the world when the time came, and they would know.
The Great Qin Empire has an heir, which is a good thing for the entire Great Qin.
After talking to them, Ying Zheng asked Zhao Gao to pack up his things, and then got on the big boat and headed towards Daqin.
The speed of steamships is very fast, much faster than other big ships, and there are many businessmen who have gone to sea to do business in recent years, and they have also explored some rules to avoid risks at sea.
Ying Zheng only stayed at sea for about twenty days before arriving in Lingnan in Daqin, and Zhao Qingrui had already asked people to wait here.
He also issued an edict to the imperial court, on the grounds of physical discomfort, after the first emperor returned to Xianyang, the government was managed by the Emperor Taishang, and the decisions made by the Emperor Taishang were all made by the Emperor Taishang.
The six Shangshu and the cabinet who received the order were staring at each other, is there something wrong with Your Majesty's body? That's a big deal.
"Lord Meng, can Your Majesty reply the letter? What's wrong with Your Majesty's body? Li Si looked at Meng Yi worriedly, among their group, only Meng Yi and His Majesty were the closest, and the matter of this inquiry naturally fell on Meng Yi.
"Look for yourself, Your Majesty didn't say much, but handed over the government to the Emperor, and she continued to parade with people." Meng Yi shook his head, and then took out the letter.
Several people took the letter and read it, with a little helplessness in their eyes.
"Since Your Majesty has called the Emperor Taishang back in a special way, maybe the Emperor Taishang knows His Majesty's situation, and when the Emperor Taishang comes back, we will ask the Emperor Taishang again." Feng Qujian said seriously.
His Majesty was too important to the entire Great Qin, and they didn't dare to be careless.
All of them had a solemn look on their faces, but His Majesty's physical discomfort could not be revealed, and if it was known by someone with a heart, it would be troublesome.
"Your Majesty is unwell, keep your mouth shut for me in this matter, if the old man hears any rumors outside, don't blame the old man for being ruthless." Feng Quji's gaze swept over everyone, especially the cabinet members.
Compared with Meng Yi and his colleagues, who have worked together for so many years, these cabinet members are all newcomers and are not trustworthy.
"Don't worry, Lord Feng, I won't talk nonsense outside." Several people hurriedly and solemnly said, this matter is too important, they entered the cabinet, and they also came to a high position, it can be said that if they want to climb up in the future, in addition to looking at Feng Quji and Feng Zheng brothers, they also have to see what His Majesty means.
"Whoever dares to leak out Your Majesty's physical condition will be punished for treason." Meng Tian clenched the long sword in his hand and looked at the people present with a cold face.
"What Lord Meng said is that he should be punished heavily." Feng Zheng looked at Meng Tian approvingly.
The effect of this beating by several people is still obvious, at least the cabinet people are a lot more cautious for now.
Ying Zheng just went ashore, and there were already people waiting here, and now the road in Daqin is smooth, and the speed of the return journey is much faster.
Hurry up, and in five days, you have arrived in Xianyang.
When the First Emperor came back, he asked Feng Qujian and a few of them to be sure in their hearts, whether it was His Majesty or the First Emperor, they were all the Dinghai Divine Needles of Great Qin, as long as they were there, there would be no problems.
"Meet the Emperor." Ying Zheng's reappearance in the palace made Feng Quji and the others very excited.
"Don't be polite, sit down, it's been a few years since the widow left the court, tell the widow in detail about the current situation of Daqin." Ying Zheng sat at the top, this long-lost feeling made him a little unaccustomed.
A few people didn't talk nonsense, and gave a detailed report on the situation in various parts of Daqin.
By the time Ying Zheng fully understood, it was already a day later.
Looking at so many things, Ying Zheng couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
There are a lot of new things in this, various new departments, all of which have been developed by Zhao Qingrui.
The development of these things has obvious benefits, making Great Qin better and making the large machine of the imperial court more sophisticated.
The downside is that there are more things that need to be managed.
These are all good developments for Daqin, and Ying Zheng doesn't have much to say, the only headache is that he is afraid that he will not be able to be idle after coming back.
"Emperor Taishang, now there are some signs of drought in the directions of Shu and Beidi County, but you have to prepare in advance?" Lees talked about these areas that were a bit drought-struck.
Ying Zheng picked up the map and looked at it, the few places Li Si said were not many, even if there was a drought, the impact would not be too great.
"Yes, tomorrow's court meeting will be discussed." Ying Zheng nodded, Daqin still needs a large number of people now, if a drought occurs, it will definitely weaken Daqin's population, and it must be prepared early.
After the affairs in the palace were dealt with, Ying Zheng went out for a walk again and went to see the situation in Weishui.
The water is still clear, but the water level has dropped a lot, two or three feet lower than in previous years.
Looking at the situation in Weishui, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, this is not a good phenomenon, no wonder Li Si brought it up at this time.
After going back, Ying Zheng urgently called Li Si over and asked him to send someone to sort out the rise and fall of rivers in various places.
Zhao Qingrui also knows what happened on Ying Zheng's side, but she is very comfortable at this time, and after she doesn't have that pile of books, she only feels that the whole person is relaxed.
Without that bunch of worries, it's just delicious.
Of course, she would be happier if she didn't have to eat taboos.
Zhao Qingrui is happy here, but Yingzheng is going crazy.
I haven't been in contact with the government for a few years, and everything will be on him as soon as he comes back, even if he is strong now, but he can't hold on to it.
He would rather go out and fight those powerful beasts than deal with these complicated government affairs.
However, his daughter's physical condition, he really can't let go of these things, except for his daughter, the entire Daqin is the only one to do it.
Holding back his irritability, Yingzheng continued to deal with these things.
Ying Zheng came back and still appeared in the court, which also made many officials have some more speculations in their hearts.
But no matter what you think, you don't show it on your face.
Whether it is His Majesty or the current Emperor Taishang, they are all workaholics, and now that the Emperor Taishang is back, they have more burdens on their shoulders, and they have to work overtime again.
The Emperor Taishang is still a bit obsessive-compulsive, and he has to let them do everything perfectly.
Originally, because His Majesty was not in the court, he was forced to roll up all of a sudden, and everyone entered a state of overtime.
worked overtime by himself, and now that he sees everyone working overtime, the unhappiness in Yingzheng's heart has dissipated a lot.
I used to work overtime, but at that time, I didn't feel that I just wanted to put my thoughts and thoughts on this newly built empire and realize my ambitions.
After going out to wander for a few years, the habits he had developed before were quickly replaced, and now he can do what he wants to do as he wants, without being bound by Daqin's trivial matters.
And Daqin still has Zhao Qingrui here, Daqin is well managed, and it is still thriving, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Then the focus of his life shifted from government politics to martial arts training.
Even he didn't know how strong his strength was now, he only knew that even his sword couldn't cut his skin.
After two days of hectic work, Ying Zheng gradually became familiar with this rhythm.
After Ying Zheng came back, the people who lived in Shanglin Yuan before were a little nervous.
Ying Zheng's return to power made them smell something different, maybe something happened to His Majesty, as long as they please the Emperor Taishang and give him a few more children, or if they have children, let them go to Ying Zheng to be courteous.
It's just that those people didn't see Yingzheng, but just summoned Yu Ji to serve him.
Yu Ji is very honest when she stays by Yingzheng's side, she is also very satisfied with her current life, and she is also the only person who knows that the Emperor Taishang is currently "suffering from a hidden disease", she just needs to be obedient, and she doesn't have to worry about it in this life.
As for leaving Yingzheng, she didn't think about it for the time being.
While dealing with government affairs, there are also beauties playing music and pleasure, Ying Zheng flipped through the recitals sent from all over the country, and then called a few of them over.
Several of them have now entered the household department, but their official positions are not high.
"Meet my father." Several people were a little apprehensive in their hearts.
"The widow hasn't taken care of you in the past few years, and you've begun to indulge yourself?" Ying Zheng looked at them calmly, in the past few years, there has been no progress, and Ying Zheng is still a little disappointed.
