The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart

Chu Qianqiu and the eldest princess warmed up for a moment, his hand touched the smooth belly of the lady, feeling the child who was still growing inside, with a smile on his face.

"Don't move." The eldest princess was a little red-faced, since she broke through the martial arts, she could feel the movement of the fetus every moment, and protect the children of the two.

】

"Is the lady still angry?" Chu Qianqiu said with a chuckle.

"I want to kill you." The eldest princess snorted and said angrily.

That's what it sounds like.

"If you're feeling stressed, your husband can help you."

Chu Qianqiu said softly that although he contributed to the coup d'état, if he wanted to stabilize the government, it was not just to let the Shenwei Army join the ranks of Shangjing.

There are a lot of things that the eldest princess needs to do, and the arrangement of the major governors alone, the attitude of each sect and the forces is an inexhaustible thing.

"Hmph, I'm not that fragile yet."

"You don't have to."

The eldest princess has always had a hard mouth, and only in special cases will she show a weak expression.

In particular, Chu Qianqiu said that she prefers this appearance to the gods she worships.

She naturally behaves as the gods ask.

"Yes, yes, the lady is right."

Chu Qianqiu hugged the eldest princess and said with a chuckle, making her almost blow up, and slapped Chu Qianqiu's hands wandering around twice, and then said slowly.

"The ...... of the military department Shangshu Jing Yulong"

"I know this, change it." Chu Qianqiu said very casually, making the eldest princess want to bite him.

"Hubu Shangshu Hai Longen, is the head of the Hai family, and he is a diehard loyalist of his father."

"He may have some ideas and secretly contacted other imperial merchants, but after all, he is just a businessman."

"The head of the Qian family reported the matter to me on the same day, so there is no need to worry."

"I've already ordered someone to beat him."

Although the Shenwu Dynasty also had imperial examinations, it was closer to the era of feudal feudal in terms of system.

There is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no scholar in the lower grade.

There are also practical reasons for this, after all, these high-ranking officials are all strong in martial arts, they have no resources, no exercises, and they read poetry and etiquette, even if they later take refuge in the faction and get the exercises and cheats, it is almost impossible to achieve martial arts.

"What else?" Chu Qianqiu nodded, knowing that the eldest princess was merciful in this regard, there was a certain reason, in addition to the thirteen princes living in the Hai family, the eight imperial merchants were also the minions of the royal family, and it was impossible to deal with them easily.

It's like if Yang Wanhu made a mistake, Liu Dutong would deal with it lightly.

"And some things about Uncle Wang."

"What's the matter?" Chu Qianqiu asked.

"There is an urgent report from the six doors, saying that Uncle Wang has contacted the messenger of the Shenwei Army." The eldest princess blinked and said a little strangely.

The eldest princess has recovered some new information, it may be that Chu Qianqiu came to find the Queen Mother at a different time, which produced a butterfly effect.

"Huh?"

Chu Qianqiu was first startled, and then suddenly realized.

If the Shenwei Army wants to rebel, it is natural that the nobles in Shangjing cannot be expected to change their minds, and the greatest possibility of the Shenwei Army is to destroy Shangjing.

Even if they were to do that, they would basically lose most of their power, and they would not be able to rule the whole world.

So in this case, choosing King Jing of Zhongzhou as the object of cooperation is actually very high-quality, and it can also give an explanation to the Maha Temple.

In fact, King Jing himself is the spare tire of the Maha Temple, once there is something in Beijing, they have other choices.

It's just that Chu Qianqiu moved too fast, Liu Dutong had just made contact with King Jing, and there was no substantial progress, and it was over here when he went to Beijing.

"Does King Jing have any ideas?"

Last time, Chu Qianqiu didn't ask clearly, but this time looking at the lady's expression, she seemed to be a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Wang is a cautious person, he won't jump out directly."

"This time I came to Beijing, I probably won't act rashly."

"But he is very likely to fan rebellions in Yuzhou, Haizhou and other places to test the ability of the imperial court."

The most indispensable person in the Shenwu Dynasty is a careerist, and the young son of heaven is a legitimate heir, coupled with the strength accumulated by the previous emperors, he can naturally calm the scene.

Now although the eldest princess has the endorsement of Wanshou Temple and her orthodox status is not too low, she wants to take over the inheritance of the royal family, which inevitably causes turmoil.

These upheavals create a decline in central power and give opportunities to careerists.

"There was also a famine in Yuzhou a few years ago, and the people were very resentful, and war was very likely to break out."

"Does King Jing have influence there?" Chu Qianqiu asked.

"Yes, Yuzhou is the land of Taizu's Longxing, and the sect has almost no power to speak of."

"There is only one Cui family in the Great Family, and even the original branch of the Blood Shadow Gate has been completely wiped out."

"King Jing has a fief in Yuzhou, and he has also done some disaster relief actions, and he is quite prestigious among the people."

Only then did Chu Qianqiu understand the problem in Yuzhou.

Yuzhou is regarded as the Xiao family's own land, and the strength of the big sects is not allowed to enter the expansion, and the royal children give fiefs, which are often sealed in Yuzhou.

Although King Jing is in Zhongzhou, he also has a fief in Yuzhou.

"If he secretly cultivates power in Yuzhou, he can completely set off turmoil, and he won't hurt his foundation."

The eldest princess said with a little headache

"Does he have any other tricks besides this one?"

"When the husband comes back from Fengzhou, I will help the lady solve it together."

Chu Qianqiu didn't ask in a hurry, if it was changed to before, he would feel that this Shenwu Dynasty really looked like a pill, and maybe it would add fuel to the fire.

Now that it has become the foundation of his own lady, his attitude is naturally different.

Although there were many careerists in various places in the Shenwu Dynasty, Chu Qianqiu was sure to flatten them one by one.

"If Uncle Wang wants to make trouble, he will start with the royal bloodline."

"Husband, our child may not be surnamed Chu." The eldest princess said apologetically.

When the empress ascended the throne, the biggest problem was family inheritance.

The child born in this life, should he be surnamed Xiao or Chu?

In the eyes of Confucianism, this is an extremely serious issue.

They are a family-based system of allegiance.

If you take an extreme example.

In the case of in-laws becoming enemies, according to Confucian morality, which side should the wife stand on?

You should be on your husband's side.

Family is always above all else.

Under what circumstances is the exception?

Son-in-law.

In other words, once the child of Chu Qianqiu and the eldest princess is surnamed Chu, then he cannot inherit the throne.

If their child's surname is Xiao, wouldn't it mean that Chu Qianqiu has become a son-in-law?

"Oh, that's okay." Chu Qianqiu replied very dryly, but the eldest princess was stunned.

"Huh?"

"Then, isn't that husband ......?"

"What do I care about?"

"You can put 10,000 hearts."

Chu Qianqiu smiled and said, feeling that his own lady was thinking too much, but he never thought that when these words came out, the eldest princess was moved to death.

"Husband, you're so good."

"Didn't you just say I was a jerk."

Chu Qianqiu pinched the lady's face and teased.

"You're meant to be a bastard!"

"I like bastard."

The eldest princess emphasized again, and the two entered the lingering again.

This ridiculous night has just begun.

Nourishing the Heart Temple, early in the morning

Just like the last cycle, the eldest princess got up in advance to deal with government affairs, and as soon as Chu Qianqiu woke up, she called the maid.

"Bathe me and change my clothes."

"There is also an arrangement, I want to see the secretary of the military department."

"Yes, sir."

Don't worry, lady, I'll deal with this little thing by the way.
