Regarding Zhu Qiyu's redivision of labor for the favorite concubines, Concubine Wu quickly accepted it. There was no way, the nine sons and three daughters all came to congratulate the concubine on the New Year, some climbed on the couch, and some cried in the nurse's arms.

Concubine Wu only felt that her scalp was numb, these twelve grandchildren were all born in the same year, and if she continued to be born like this, she would have to die.

In terms of Concubine Wu's knowledge, more than ten sons are enough. Now there are nine, even if six or seven favorite concubines are sent out, the rest of the women are born slowly and leisurely, and the total number of sons will reach a dozen.

Therefore, Concubine Wu has become very Buddhist, Ning Xiang, Qianxue, and Suxi are not in a hurry to give birth, and Concubine Wu does not urge or ask, she is completely laissez-faire. A woman is not in a hurry to give birth, which can only mean that she is not interested in taking the heir at all, which is a good thing.

Zhu Qiyu happily sat next to Concubine Wu and accompanied the concubine to tease the newborn princess. The fifteen favorite concubines all got what they wanted, all of them smiling and relaxed.

Looking at the happy scene, Zhu Qiyu sighed: "In the past year, it was really a bumper harvest year, and our family became prosperous all of a sudden, and it was very rich."

Xue'er, our family is now the richest man in the capital, isn't it? ”

Qianxue smiled: "Don't say the richest man in the capital, looking at the world, is there anyone richer than our family?" ”

Zhu Qiyu clapped his hands: "Okay, all the concubines have made great contributions, go to the warehouse when you go back, pick whatever you want, pick hard, take whatever you want." ”

Hearing this, the concubine asked, "Qi Yu, this year, what are the major events in the imperial court, is this new year better?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not good, this year, let Xu Youzhen and Wang Tong go to quell the civil uprising in Liangguang, and let Wang Ji tentatively attack Annan from Yunnan."

We have to go to war, we can't fight if we don't fight, only if we do it ourselves, even if we win one or two small battles, can we let the vassal states such as Champong, Lancang, and Zhenla go to fight Annam together.

If you don't fight yourself, you can't just call others to beat, after all, others are not stupid.

Then it is likely that the Warat and Tatar sides will attack us again while our army has gone south.

There are also Huguang and Guizhou in trouble.

In order to mint silver coins, I reopened the silver fields in Fujian and Zhejiang. If you don't open a silver store, you won't have silver to mint; After the opening of the silver market, the southeast civil rebellion will recur.

In short, this year's theme is to fight war everywhere.

I don't want to fight, but there's no way, I can't control it at all. ”

When Concubine Wu heard this, her face immediately turned worried.

Zhu Qiyu saw that what he said was too heavy, and hurriedly went back: "Mother concubine doesn't have to worry about these state affairs, Da Ming can't die, I will definitely build a good country for these children in our family, and when the time comes, they can enjoy peace and tranquility."

Hey, having said that, I still have to thank the eldest brother for letting the emperor beat Luchuan for me, otherwise, it would be really bad.

Now these Annan and Warat are much easier to fight. The battle ahead is not very difficult, the most important thing is not to produce traitors and traitors in the DPRK and China, this is the most difficult point.

Xue'er, when you go back, you call our seventeen great eunuchs of the inner court to dinner, and I will mobilize them, mobilize all the factory guard forces, and give me a good monitoring of the entire Beijing Division. At the same time, I will introduce Chaoyun, Duyu, and Xiyue to them, and the three of them will be in charge of the inner court in the future.

Oh, by the way, where are the three of you going to live? ”

Twilight Yu smiled: "Qionghua Island, Guanghan Palace." Haven't Zhang Yong and Ruan Xi renovated Qionghua Island a while ago, and the three of us like to be quiet, so it's good to live there.

Wouldn't it be nice to get up every day and stroll along the tree-lined path to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taiye Pond. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, it's good, I have vision." Qionghua Island covers an area of 80 acres, with green trees and a quiet environment. Just the three of you, it's spacious.

You bring more people to serve over, and then you can renovate Qionghua Island as much as you want, so that Xue'er and Xi'er can cooperate with you well until you are satisfied. ”

Twilight Yu smiled: "The concubine will thank you and give you one." ”

Zhu Qiyu accompanied the concubine to talk and laugh for half an hour, before getting up and leaving and going back to the room.

……

The emperor was at ease, but the ministers were at a loss.

It is said that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it should be the morning of the New Year's Day.

After going down to the court, he congratulated the emperor and the crown prince. At the same time, he ordered the woman to go to the imperial concubine and the queen.

When they were done, the ministers congratulated each other in the courtroom, and finally went back to their respective homes for fifteen days of vacation.

Today, the ministers still came to their respective yamen as scheduled to wait, but the emperor obviously will not come, and there will be no Zhengdan dynasty.

But should you go to the Emperor and the Crown Prince? The emperor did not explicitly say that he would go, nor did he say that he would not let him go.

There is also the imperial concubine, who neither said that he wanted the woman to go to the court, nor did he say that the woman was exempted from going to the court.

Anyway, everything is unclear and ambiguous.

In the cabinet, Wang Wen, Wei Ji and others got together, congratulated each other, and began to discuss whether to go to the court.

Wei Ji was the first to speak: "According to the right principle, we should go to the pilgrimage to the saint first, and then go to the emperor to congratulate the emperor." The wife should go to the imperial concubine of Asaka first, and then go to the empress of Asaga.

If you don't go to the Holy Shrine, just go to the Emperor to congratulate the emperor, then it will become an arrogance.

According to me, Du Sensei went, so let's go back to the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and go home after congratulating my colleagues. ”

Wang Wen echoed: "Elder Wei is right, the Holy Lord shouldn't want us to bother him, I have to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate first, and then go to the Criminal Department." ”

Others also expressed their opinions, and a consensus was soon reached.

The people returned to the Sixth Department and dismissed the hundred officials. Most of them dispersed, and only Liao Zhuang and Liu Dingzhi took a small number of officials to Chonghua Palace to congratulate the emperor.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Liao Zhuang, Liu Dingzhi and others had a glimpse of the sky, and saw that Gong Rang's face was as white as paper and slightly bloodless, and they were immediately shocked.

Zhu Qizhen soothed: "I have often felt weak and dizzy recently, I think it is due to missing the eldest princess of Changde too much, and it is not a big deal. ”

Liao Zhuang hurriedly replied: "Please take care of your majesty's body, His Royal Highness the crown prince can't do without His Majesty's support." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he forcibly cheered up again and asked Liao Zhuang: "When will Lin Cong and Ye Sheng return to Beijing from Annan?" ”

"Counting the days, it should have passed Guangxi, at least entered Jiangxi. Half a month later, just after the end of the vacation, they almost returned to Beijing. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded: "Okay, you can go to Prince Chaohe again." ”

Liao Zhuang, Liu Dingzhi and others saluted and withdrew, and rushed to Ciqing Palace to see the crown prince, which is everyone's hope for the future.

For the next ten days, there was nothing to say. During this period, only countless boulders were transported into the capital.

The maiden home of Concubine Xuanmiao, the original Huichang Marquis Mansion, has been demolished for the most part. Throughout the winter, the craftsmen were sprinkling water on the road, forming an ice road, transporting the polished huge bluestone and white marble from the southwestern suburbs of the capital into the capital, and building a high platform in the original Huichang Marquis' Mansion.

Fortunately, more than a mile from Desheng Gate came in and walked to the former Changhou Mansion, so it didn't disturb the people much.

The well-informed officials and magnates in the capital all knew what they were doing, and only Gong let the emperor's family be kept in the dark. Even Liao Zhuang, Liu Dingzhi and others didn't dare to say it when they saw Emperor Gongrang's sick and crooked appearance, so as not to stimulate Emperor Gongrang.

Until the twenty-first day of the first month, the government has completely returned to the rhythm before the holiday, and the Annan delegation led by Lin Cong and Ye Sheng has finally returned to the capital.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes in the morning, Qianxue couldn't wait to smile and said: "I used to say that my husband was ridiculous, but today the slave family finally saw something even more ridiculous than my husband."

The Annan mission has returned to Beijing, and guess how King Annam responded? ”

Zhu Qiyu rubbed his hazy eyes: "Everything is under the control of the widow, what new tricks can Annan play?" ”

Qianxue smiled: "If you can even guess this, the slave family and Xi'er dance that kind of dance for you." ”
