If Qin Zhanying didn't get up until three o'clock, his dear empress mother got up before midnight.

In the early morning, the ships in the harbor have begun to flow through the water, and the morning sun rises from the sea level in the distance.

Lu Xiaoxuan carried a weight of two hundred catties, and ran ten kilometers with his grandfather Lu Kong's pet African elephant jade, and the people of Luzon took the empress's fierce morning practice for granted, after all, the emperor Lu Kong was also this virtue.

Jade was tired, so she found a place to have breakfast and rest, while Lu Xiaoxuan took a shower and started the day's office.

In order to develop the surrounding islands, expand the territory, and establish the rule of Chinese civilization in many lands, Zeguo is very hard in the development of ship technology, of course, in the Yu Dynasty, which did not even open the steam era, it is not easy to build the kind of dumpling-level national protection artifact in later generations, build wooden ships, and then strive to develop the most primitive version of the steam engine.

"Ship, ship, if you give me a destroyer now, no! Just the most ordinary gunboat, I can force those kings of Europe to live China with a plate pattern on the soles of their feet! ”

Lu Xiaoxuan looked at the drawings of the new ship that would be submitted to the supervisor, as well as the news that the steam engine had failed to manufacture again, and the news that the technology iteration on the steel smelting side was still slow, and lay on the desk.

However, the native population of Zeguo is only 9 million, and with such a small labor force, it wants to be self-sufficient in food, to produce various raw materials such as sugar, wood, and medicinal materials, and to make a start to the first industrial revolution.

Lu Xiaoxuan: Yingying! You must work hard to defeat Beimeng as soon as possible, and absorb and digest the population over there! And Nanyue and Goryeo are also under your disposal, and Mom's side will also work hard to take Dongying down!

At least in Yu Ze's generation, she wants to win the legal principle of domination over the entire Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia for the Chinese civilization!

Population, food, territory, technological progress...... If you want to get these things, you can't just lie on your stomach, you have to work! The son is not in good health, so he can't leave all his work to Yingying and eat white rice on the throne by himself.

Every hour to cheer himself up, after the process was completed, Lu Xiaoxuan got up to work again, and began to worry as she did it.

"The environment over there in Nanyu is sinister, no one will make Yingying unhappy, right?"

What kind of virtue those people are Lu Xiaoxuan understands too well, his mouth is full of benevolence and righteousness, and his heart is full of business, and when he sees power and interests, his knees are soft when he says he is soft, and his waist is bent when he says he is bent, so that he can pout his ass high, and it is convenient to use it, it is that bit of literati sour and rotten and the mentality of "everyone has to listen to me Confucianism", so that they will engage in some untimely cleverness from time to time, such as using etiquette to restrict others from doing business, which is quite disgusting.

Lu Xiaoxuan sighed, thinking that since Yu Wuzong was fine, her son should be fine, but Nanyu had too many problems, which caused Yingying to have to work overtime, and it seemed that she still had to write to that side, so that Yingying would not be tired.

"But Qiu Yu stayed in the capital to work, and I wasn't here, who would tell Ying Ying to get up?" Lu Xiaoxuan fell into deep thought, and then worried about another question, "By the way, is Yingying getting along well with her relatives over there?" His uncle and aunt are okay, it's his father's side, forget it, this child has his own measure. ”

It's really difficult to raise a child, to be a happy guck dog in the last life, not to get married and not to have children is really the most correct decision, after Yingying went to work in Nanyu, she didn't worry about a day, the more she worried, the more energetic she worked overtime, anyway, no matter what her son was going to do, she had to make sure that she could hold it.

Every morning, he would take the shield assembled by the essence of Zeguo's most cutting-edge smelting and forging technology to call Zhu Dawu, who was entertaining King Liang.

King Liang, who can be described as glamorous, got up elegantly, rested and changed under the guidance of Zhu Dawu, and a maidservant came over to lead Princess Cao, Qin Yueting, Qin Yuehu, the two county lords, and the prince Qin Zhanqi.

Qin Zhanying actually slept in another courtyard more than 100 meters away from here, this was to prevent anyone from having bad intentions or being too reckless to disturb the prince's sleep.

The prince himself is okay, he was woken up with a headache and a bad temper, if anyone hits the muzzle of the gun, the prince will open his mouth and bury it, and the person who goes to quarrel with him will easily die.

Naturally, even the prince sleeps in a very simple farmhouse yard, and the environment of this yard is even more ordinary, in addition to good hygiene, there are many treasure pavilions, bronze mirrors, special pantry, and servants' ear rooms are all absent, and the lighting is also average, and the space is too cramped for the nobles of the clan.

Concubine Cao was tired all the way, and she didn't bother to care about anything else, so she just pulled Qin Zhanqi over and told her son: "When I see your eldest brother later, remember to call him brother affectionately, and you must let him recognize you as a younger brother, you know?" ”

Qin Zhanqi lowered his head: "Mother, if we come over like this, will others say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is being talked about?" ”

As a child of the clan who is almost seven years old, Qin Zhanqi also understands a little thing, knows the delicate relationship between his family and the prince, and understands that as the son of Princess Cao, he will not be good with the prince.

To put it mildly, if the two are divorced, and the woman takes the child away, but the man is more powerful, then when the child grows up, there is a high probability that he will go to the paternal line to obtain more social resources, regardless of whether the paternal side has done something sorry for the maternal line.

But Qin Zhanying's situation is different, and no matter what the character of this strange prince is, his mother really has the throne on hand for him to inherit, and he can directly parachute into Yu's crown prince position because his mother's family is strong enough, so Qin Zhanqi knows very well that the relationship between the prince and his mother must not be bad.

They went over like this, even if it was in the face of the empress of Zeguo, the prince would not give them a good face, otherwise the empress of Zeguo would be cold, and it would not be impossible to recruit a few young and strong men to have children while she was still in her thirties!

"Just because he's the crown prince, you have to please him." Concubine Cao endured the unwillingness and sourness in her heart, and patiently analyzed with her son.

The crown prince is the second most noble person in the world after the emperor, and he is also the most difficult person to do, Emperor Cheng'an can't survive well, but once the empress of Zeguo has another heir, even if the prince still has the name of the noble son of the two countries, the situation will become difficult, and as another child born to King Liang, King Liang and King Liang's children will also be a trouble for the prince.

After all, the actions of the crown prince and Emperor Cheng'an are too big, so big that they have begun to force those who eat the fattest in the civil official group to their deaths, and there will always be people who take risks and try to fight back, Emperor Cheng'an on the throne is not easy to move, but it is easier to move the prince.

At that time, King Liang's family is the best weapon to use against the prince, and in this whirlpool, the life and death of King Liang's family can't help themselves!

For so many years, King Liang is the port of the noble landlord group represented by the Cao family to seek benefits, King Liang is not good enough, at most he is a rich idler when the situation is stable, Concubine Cao is dedicated to her mother's family, they have no ability to resist!

And will Qin Zhanying let Liang Wangfu become his trouble?

Concubine Cao: "I look at the actions of the crown prince, he is a very shrewd and ruthless person, once he frees his hands, who knows if he will deal with us?" So you have to get close to him, even if it's to look like you admire your brother and make it inconvenient for him to do something to you. ”

Qin Zhanqi: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be so ruthless, we are brothers by blood." ”

Concubine Cao pinched her son: "Take the words back, you will be crazy and stupid in the future, and don't believe that the emperor's family has brothers!" Zhan Qi, you memorize what your mother said, you want to please your brother, you will do whatever he does in the future, don't believe others if they come to provoke you to go against your brother! Don't let them take advantage of it to do anything stupid and end up losing their lives! ”

The son is less than seven years old, and it is still too early to say these words to him, but what can Concubine Cao do? She ran out of time.

According to the current situation in Huxiang Road and Liangzhou, the Cao family will inevitably not be able to do the same as before, and may have to pay for the sin of digging embankments in Huxiang Road in the early years.

Therefore, they have to give up Princess Cao first, please the crown prince, alleviate their own crisis, and then raise the child of Princess Cao to be what the Cao family wants, and then the landlord civil official group can rely on this child to become a sword against the crown prince at a critical moment.

And the premise of all this is that Concubine Cao is going to die!

After she grabbed a lot of benefits for those people as Princess Liang, she was finally useless, and she became a roadblock in those people's schemes, so she was going to die!

Concubine Cao stroked her bulging belly, and the doctor said that eighty percent of this child is a son, originally she wanted to give birth to a son, but now, she would rather this be a daughter, otherwise how to avoid the covetousness of those people?

The servants in King Liang's mansion, the stable wife and the nursing mother when she gave birth to the children were all from the Cao family, and Concubine Cao had no resistance to her mother's family, so she could only break the situation with the help of external forces, so when King Liang proposed to see her eldest son, she immediately proposed that King Liang take herself and the children to the prince to say goodbye.

Since those people want to give up themselves, then Concubine Cao will also fight back, this time they came to see the prince, if the prince is a good person, maybe she can have a way to live, but she can't survive, as long as the prince knows the plans of those people, the upbringing of this child in her belly, those people can't interfere.

Naturally, in order to prevent the prince from planning to kill her brother once and for all after learning the truth, she also had to let her son please the prince.

As long as she can see her tomorrow, the people sent out by Concubine Cao will spread rumors that the crown prince and his younger brother are friends and brothers, so that even if the crown prince doesn't like her son, he can only pinch his nose and admit that he is the crown prince after all, and he must care about his reputation, and he can't directly say that he dislikes his own brother!

And here in Qin Zhanying, Concubine Cao's evaluation in intelligence is higher than that of King Liang.

In addition to marrying King Liang for the sake of beauty, and being coaxed by the Cao family to do a lot of bad things for the interests of the family in the first half of her life, this woman is not stupid, at least she knows to take action to find a way to live for herself and her son after seeing that she was abandoned, and if she is not good, she will send her son out of the dead.

The Zejun garrison Nanyu was a chess game he played in advance, and it was not surprising to Qin Zhanying that he could overwhelm the Cao family, but the Cao family said that they would give up Concubine Cao, and they didn't take this daughter who had been transfused for the Cao family for many years to heart, which was a bit unexpected to him.

Covering her head and getting up, Qin Zhanying rinsed her mouth while going through the matter in her mind, and almost understood that the Liang Wang family was led by Concubine Cao, and she thought clearly about Concubine Cao's intention.

"I finally knew that I was drowning in the quagmire, what did I do earlier? But if she had come to her senses early and managed well as Princess Liang, she would not have come to beg me today. ”

The little prince complained, and Feng Zheng, who was listening, lowered his head.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can say this, he can only listen to it, and he may not understand it.

Qin Zhanying was just talking to himself, he combed his hair a few times with a comb, and the already silky hair was quickly smoothed, pulled his hair into a bun, fixed it with a white jade crown, nibbled on a steamed bun with green pepper scrambled eggs, drank a cup of milk tea, Qin Zhanying asked Feng Zheng to summon people.

He said lazily: "Since you're here, let's see it, but let King Liang and the princess come over, the three little ones, let's send them to the literacy class first, I remember that the nearest literacy class only needs to walk a mile away, let them walk over by themselves." ”

Feng Zheng: "Yes." ”

The meeting place was in the main hall of the courtyard where Qin Zhanying was located, King Liang and Qin Zhanying were face-to-face for the first time, and when they saw the young prince for the first time, they were excited.

This, this child is really the same as the rumors, and he looks seven points like his mother, and his demeanor is ...... Why is his demeanor so similar to his father, it's a bit terrifying.

; Qin Zhanying didn't mean to be polite at all because King Liang was his biological father, he swept King Liang's family, and Shi Shiran sat down at the top.

King Liang subconsciously saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

He is the prince of the clan, and he can only perform half-kneeling etiquette to the emperor and the crown prince, if the relationship is good, he can bend down, and Qin Zhanqi is the same here.

Concubine Cao is blessed, which is a kind of etiquette with slightly bent knees.

Qin Zhanying waved her hand: "Get up." ”

He didn't show any intention of being close to people, his biological father knelt if he wanted to, Concubine Cao wanted to be blessed, and after the seat was given, he just put on the noble and gentle demeanor of the standard superior, and condescendingly asked about the local affairs of Liangzhou, as well as the local population, household registration, and acres of land himself.

King Liang didn't answer a single question.

Qin Zhanying: ......

He changed the topic again and asked about the transaction of Shu brocade, which was a business that King Liang's Mansion intervened in, and he would also send tribute satin to Dajing every year, and King Liang immediately gushed endlessly.

Qin Zhanying's face did not move, and she sighed in her heart: Mother, you really didn't have a clear mind to become a biological child with this man, right? This man can only see his face!

With the small talk, he could see that Concubine Cao was a little uneasy, his eyes fell on Concubine Cao's upright stomach, and he casually remembered the past of Yu Wuzong that he saw in the mirror of the year.

Yu Wuzong was a standard hell fun man when he was a teenager, and from time to time he opened a copy of the battle royale of the Northern Meng royal family, and then his temper gradually improved, and everyone did not ease up, and he was very trembling in the face of him, his third brother was very afraid of him, and it may also have something to do with the fact that he has been shrouded in the shadow of the indescribable, invisible, and extremely dangerous eldest brother since he was a child.

He knows this third brother very well, his qualifications are average, and he has been taught crooked in his bones, if the second brother can't suppress the Cao family and other noble landlord groups, let the third brother take power, I'm afraid it will be a bad thing, after all, the person who has been bowing his head and pretending to be obedient suddenly was hit by the lucky gift package and became a master, and he was full of resentment towards the person who pressed his head before.

But Yu Wuzong actually protected his younger brothers and sisters in the political whirlpool, he never let his younger brothers become tools of political struggle, but pressed them in the study to study hard, never considered letting the two younger sisters go to kiss, their marriage was arranged by him personally, and the two younger sisters lived well after marriage.

Everyone in the previous life stood on their own position to seek what they thought was the greatest benefit, and Yu Wuzong retained his conscience in the most complex and sinister whirlpool, which is also interesting to think about, Yu Wuzong, who is destined to leave a tyrannical reputation in the history books, is actually a kind person.

Another Qin Zhanying gradually got rid of the most angry youth, the kindness given to him by his mother came to his heart, sitting on the throne, allowing him to have enough height to look down on all beings, and gradually, he found that the protagonist who created history did not seem to be a prince or noble.

The princes and nobles played with power, held a lot of wealth, and despised the craftsmen and the mud legs in the fields, but they were only a small minority, and the silent majority, who grew grain, could weave, and after eating and wearing clean clothes, they were also black-haired and black-eyed, and bleed, just like the princes and nobles.

And throughout history, in the struggle for the supreme power in the world, although most people have won with whom, but in reality? It is those who most decide who to follow and who wins.

After reading too many books, seeing too many things, and loving to ponder too much, Qin Zhanying gradually jumped out of the perspective of an emperor and saw a higher truth, he hadn't understood it yet, but he subconsciously wanted to be kind to the people.

He also doesn't feel that he is good to the people, he will make them a threat to himself, because he will lead the army to fight against foreigners, attach importance to agriculture and education and medical care, he is a useful person in the world, he is confident that he will be the king that all the people who want to live a good life are willing to follow, and he does not eat rice, and he is not a person who is not good for the people.

Qin Zhanying wanted to go to the people who made history and wanted to realize more truths, but before he could fully understand it, the people were gone.

However, before he died, that Qin Zhanying was already very sure that after his death, Yu's court would face a huge turmoil sooner or later.

He died too early, some people were not killed, these people were bound to fight back, and those who were promoted by him had already formed a new interest group, and there was not much unity within them, and they would definitely be killed in a river of blood.

And the medical treatment he promised Zhang Hua to implement that can benefit the people of the world, and the establishment of more consolation stations will not be done, and those female officials who are either ambitious or have great intentions will probably not end well.

As for Concubine Cao, the Cao family, and Concubine Cao's sons, Qin Zhanying doesn't know what kind of traces they will leave in Yu's history books, but after Concubine Cao became the queen mother, the first thing she looked at was her family's interests, and the interests of the Cao family were to defeat the team left by Yu Wuzong in order to suck more national flesh and blood.

Death came too suddenly, Qin Zhanying didn't have time to make any preparations, leaving only a memory for his other self, and for the little prince, this memory from Yu Wuzong was a piece of wealth, because he could directly stand on the ladder that Qin Zhanying had already realized and climb higher.

But now the situation is not the same as when Yu Wuzong was, after all, his mother has trained an army, which has become the most powerful support for him when he wants to promote change, and he also has Qiu Yu.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, and King Liang's voice stopped, watching him cautiously.

Qin Zhanying put down the teacup and said lightly: "I already know your intentions. ”

He glanced at Concubine Cao: "Gu asked the mother queen, she said, King Liang will still be King Liang in the future, but it can only be King Liang, the marriage of the year has been abolished, then it will be abolished, no need to start over, but she also said that she doesn't mind Gu getting along with her younger siblings, is it a sibling, the little prince of Liang Wangfu and the two county lords will be on Lone's side in the future." ”

This is what it means that he doesn't want to be too close to King Liang, but is willing to take care of his younger siblings, King Liang is relieved and even a little grateful.

The ex-wife is a person who promises a thousand dollars, she wrote in the book of separation and separation with herself, no resentment and no resentment, and sure enough, she didn't mean to be more difficult with him, but he was not good and missed this relationship.

But in fact...... That's fine, Qin Shu'an likes Lu Xiaoxuan very much, he doesn't want Lu Xiaoxuan to waste her life in childbirth, and it's not like her to waste her health for childbirth, which is why Qin Shu'an later proposed to take a concubine.

Concubine Cao has a brother who lost his life when he helped him enter Beijing to take revenge, so he also respects Concubine Cao, Concubine Cao killed someone when she was jealous, Qin Shu'an didn't want to care, Concubine Cao had to have her own children for the benefit of the Cao family, so she dragged her sick and weak body to have two miscarriages before she had Qin Zhanqi, and now she is going to give birth to a second son to get double insurance, and Qin Shu'an is also willing to cooperate.

Concubine Cao, on the other hand, raised her head in amazement, looking at Qin Zhanying with a complicated look of fear and gratitude in her eyes.

The prince actually understood her intention before she found a chance to speak, and promised to protect Qin Zhanqi.

How sharp and intelligent he was, he looked like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing plain clothes and sitting on a circle chair of ordinary material in the courtyard of the farmhouse, but he seemed to see her whole person through, and all her thoughts could not escape the eyes of this young man.

It is worthy of being the noble son who entrusts the long-cherished wish of Yu Ze and the two countries to unify the world, and he is worthy of being a descendant of the rain god, and he is really not a mortal thing.

At this moment, Qin Zhanying seemed to mention unintentionally: "But the public security in Liangzhou is not good, there have been several cases in recent years, my army is stationed there, and by the way, when the land tax was implemented, several people were arrested, some were usury, some were traffickers, and some were robbed of fertile land. ”

This sentence made King Liang's expression become serious: "I will cooperate with the Liangzhou garrison to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cure these wicked people as soon as possible." ”

"Even if their surname is Cao?"

"Even if their surname is Cao."

King Liang held Concubine Cao's hand, tightened it, and signaled her not to worry, those things are the Cao family's business, it's none of her business, just rest assured.

Concubine Cao's heart was sour, and she lowered her eyes.

The husband still has her in his heart.

Qin Zhanying raised her eyebrows and said softly: "The criminal who committed the crime is dead, some things are forgotten, if they don't die, this matter will not pass, human life is not a frivolous thing that can be played with at will, in the future, King Liang should also remember this truth, don't forget that the purpose of opening the dragon lord to divide the princes is to let you guard one side, not the scourge side." ”

These words fell into the ears of King Liang, and it was his son who warned him not to commit crimes in the future.

fell into Concubine Cao's ears, that is-what you have done, the people you killed, the prince knows, you have paid for your life, this matter is over, this King of Liang and the next King of Liang do not have to be dragged down by your sins, you yourself die decently, and your child will not have a mother with a bad reputation after birth who has been cleaned up for crimes.

Concubine Cao understood, she even understood why the prince didn't let Qin Zhanqi come to visit with his parents, the prince didn't want to force his biological mother to death in front of his younger brother, and it could be regarded as a glimmer of mercy.

Concubine Cao nodded imperceptibly, indicating that she fully understood what the prince meant, and when Qin Zhanying served tea to the guests, she was helped out by King Liang, she tried her best to hold back her tears, and did not dare to let people see her red eyes, lest outsiders say that the prince bullied his biological father's stepfamily, attracting gossip and making the prince unhappy.

This is the end of the visit between King Liang and Princess Cao, and Concubine Cao went back with King Liang soon afterward, leaving the little prince Qin Zhanqi and the two county lords Qin Yueting and Qin Yuehu.

And Qin Zhanqi finally met their legendary incomparably excellent prince brother with Qin Yueting and Qin Yuehu.

The seven-year-old child and two teenage girls opened their mouths in surprise as they looked at the faces of the teenagers in front of them, as if they had gone back to July last year, when the beautiful, well-dressed "girl" rescued her brother from traffickers and passed by his sisters.

Now he was dressed in the silver-white prince's clothes, and smiled at them, "From this day on, you will call me eldest brother." ”

Although he was used to seeing his father's face at home, when he saw his eldest brother again, Qin Zhanqi couldn't help but blush.

Qin Zhanqi thought: Big brother is really good-looking, and he saved me last year, I think he must be a very good brother, very gentle and friendly, he must have no ill will towards me, otherwise what would he do to save me last year?

His uneasy heart was immediately settled because he was left behind by his parents, and his parents must have left them here so that they could get along with such a good brother, the prince's brother is so good, he must be able to learn a lot from him!

The seemingly gentle eldest brother received the three younger siblings with great ease, kicked them into the literacy class, and encouraged them to study hard in a soft tone.

After another three months, Princess Cao of Liang had a difficult birth, and after giving birth to a frail boy, she died of a blood collapse.

Qin Zhanqi, who had been taken by his brother to work in the field, and who helped with chores in his brother's study from time to time, cried into tears, he knelt down and begged the prince's brother, and was allowed to go back to Liangzhou for funeral.

When getting into the carriage, Qin Yueting glanced back in the direction of the place where the prince was hospitalized, and Qin Yuehu tugged at her sleeve.

"Sister?"

Qin Yueting came back to her senses, her expression was complicated, and she pressed that guess into her heart forever.

"Nothing." ：，m..，.
