The Red Mansions

Chapter 1303 should be the big fat boy, she only gives birth to sons.

Dahan, Godly Capital City

After hearing the words of the middle-aged emperor behind him, Jia Heng said: "Wei Chen is thinking that after this year, he will also finish the naval drill. The cannons and blunderbuss will be installed on the ships to control the Eastern captives from a distance."

"We just experienced a big war this year, so I have to take a break for a whole year and a half." Emperor Chongping nodded and said in a light voice.

Jia Heng said: "It will only take one or two years to pacify Liaodong. With the implementation of the New Deal and our strong military strength, we can pacify Liaodong in one or two years."

Emperor Chongping looked at the resolute young figure and said, "It must have been several years since the duel between you and me in the inner study."

When mentioning old things, Emperor Chongping's eyes were a little dazed, and he had mixed feelings in his mind.

Whether it was the original countermeasures or the later "Ping Lu Strategy", all of them were completed, and now the great Han Dynasty is already in sight.

But his body and bones were also exhausted by this national affair.

Jia Heng said: "In the fourteenth year of Chongping, at that time, I was lucky enough to meet the Holy Master, and Jian Jian was at the end of his life. He has been around for three years now."

At that time, the emperor and his ministers were meeting at the same time. He begged Ping to watch and secretly reported all the reform matters, and Emperor Chongping happily obeyed.

Then began a legend of a wise king meeting a good minister, conquering the north and south, and reviving the Han Dynasty.

If there was no sweet girl thing, maybe this would be a good story?

Not necessarily, given the emperor's temperament, I am afraid that he would be the best suited to the emperor's wishes, just like the champion Hou Huo Qubing.

The carriage with high shafts turned and turned, and after a while, it drove into the palace garden from the gate of Anshun Palace. It was half noon, and the sunlight shone on the glazed tiles of the palace, shining brightly.

Before arriving at the palace garden, Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, please get out of the car."

Emperor Chongping said: "Ziyu, I heard that you brought back a female emperor from Japan this time."

Jia Heng's expression changed slightly and he said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, your grace."

There must be the emperor's spies around him, or among the guards of the Jinyi Mansion.

"How can a small country dare to claim the throne? It's just Yelang who is arrogant and wants to be crowned emperor." Jia Heng plastic surgery calmed his expression and said loudly: "The sister of the Japanese king was actually temporarily appointed as the emperor during the fight between the Japanese country and the shogunate. He served as housekeeper for several years, and when the political situation of Japan was stable, he passed the throne to his younger brother."

Taking a queen as a concubine is obviously against the taboo of the heavenly family who is also the emperor, so it needs to be modified with words.

Emperor Chongping looked at the young man with a clear face, and there was a bit of amusement in his eyes, and said: "You, you really go everywhere..."

With such a romantic and lustful person and no knowledge of how to maintain health, I am afraid that in the future, he will really die young.

Jia Heng looked a little uncomfortable and said, "Wei Chen is really ashamed."

Emperor Chongping seemed annoyed and said: "If I make the decision for Xianning, I will not let you go. Look at what I have done."

The young man in front of me is really full of peach blossoms wherever he goes.

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. She has always been generous to me in Xianning. I am really lucky to be a humble minister."

Emperor Chongping did not continue to hold on to this matter, and asked softly: "It may have been a long time since I came to Xianning. I still want to hold my grandson."

Jia Heng looked a little unnatural and said: "Wei Chen will do his best."

He secretly thought that he didn't hold his grandson, but his daughter or son... he helped a lot.

However, I don’t know if Tianniuer has given birth.

Counting the days, I should have given birth to a child by now.

In front of the middle-aged emperor, Jia Heng quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, changed the subject, and said softly: "Your Majesty, after I stay in Beijing for two months, I will go to Tianjin, Denglai and other places in November. , we can first harass Liaodong from the sea and continue to bleed Jurchen Liaodong."

This is all about repaying the other person with his own way.

Emperor Chongping said: "During this period, there have been rumors in the court from time to time. It is proposed that we should no longer resort to excessive military force and excessive conscription. I think it is not unreasonable. Although the imperial treasury will be abundant after the New Deal, we should not squander it."

Jia Heng said: "What the Holy One said is true. After Liaodong is annihilated, the heavy troops in the border towns can be appropriately disbanded. At that time, the general's expenses will be on the sea, and I, the great Han, can still support the people of the world with sea trade tariffs, and the burden on the people will also be reduced." It will be much lighter."

Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "I have read the previous memorial. It is from a high level and hits the point of Xuken. It makes people enlightened."

As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the young man's expression.

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty has over-honored me, and I also thought for a moment. If the customs tariff can be raised to 20 million taels in recent years, maybe I, a big man, can do less corvee and less tax, so that the people will not suffer from the exploitation of local officials. At that time, there would be no more civil unrest or civil strife.”

Emperor Chongping thought for a while and said: "I have also thought about this matter, but it will take twenty or thirty years to complete the work. It can only be left to the successors for implementation."

At the end of the sentence, the middle-aged emperor had a look of sadness on his face.

Fortunately, when he came to dominate the world, the Han Dynasty should have pacified Liaodong.

The monarch and his ministers talked and walked towards Xihe Palace.

The kings of Chu and Wei talked with Li Zan and Gao Zhongping respectively.

The King of Chu worked with Li Zan a lot, and even treated him as a teacher. He said softly: "Mr. Li Ge, after this year is over, Liaodong should be pacified next year."

Li Zan asked: "This depends on the military aircraft meeting in the past two days. What is Duke Wei's opinion of Liaodong?"

The King of Chu said warmly: "What Zi Yu means is that these two years of Northern Expedition to fight against the captives are also afraid that if the nights are long and there are many dreams, things will change if it is too late."

Li Zan said: "The use of troops this year will probably not be possible, it should be next year."

On the other side, King Wei was talking to Gao Zhongping and said: "The implementation of the New Deal this year has been in full swing in the northern and southern provinces of the Han Dynasty. I see that in the past three or two years, the national treasury will be extremely rich."

Gao Zhongping nodded and said: "The New Deal is still counting acres of land in some places, and in some places it is still hiding grain fields to fight against the government's inspection of Dingkou. It will take another one or two years for the New Deal to be fully implemented."

In other words, the New Deal still has certain potential that can be unleashed.

Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Lao Gao Ge, the New Deal has been on trial for more than a year, but there is still resistance."

"There has always been resistance, and now it is just suppressed temporarily. If we want to prevent any change of course, we must continue to implement it." The look of sadness on Gao Zhongping's face did not diminish at all, and he said softly: "In addition, there is also the matter of dealing with Huo Hao's return to the public, and The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are short of manpower, and are dispatching manpower to local areas to take charge of the preparations for the establishment of the Royal Bank."

Since the eldest princess of Jinyang had a child, she has indeed focused on the child, especially when she is stationed in Jinling all year round. Although Fu Qiufang and Yuan Chun are good helpers, the eldest princess of Jinyang has not been able to take care of her own property, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will inevitably Something has been omitted.

King Wei's heart moved and he said: "Aunt Jinyang has been working in the Southern Tiren Academy, managing the maritime trade of the three major weaving bureaus. It is indeed a bit harder."

Although my uncle had stopped observing mourning for three years in order to win the love of his father, he also had no director after returning to Beijing and was still idle in the palace. If he could be transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would be considered to have control of the Tian family's purse.

As they spoke, they walked quickly towards the palace garden.

Xihe Palace

Jia Heng and Emperor Chongping entered the palace along the palace road and helped Emperor Chongping sit on the dragon chair. Not long after, Dai Quan also ran over panting and reported: "Your Majesty, all the ministers are still behind."

Emperor Chongping said: "Let the imperial kitchen prepare meals."

Then, Emperor Chongping turned to look at Jia Heng and said: "Zi Yu just mentioned that the navy, North Korea and Japan jointly attacked the Liaodong Jurchens. What if the Liaodong Jurchens invaded again from Shanhaiguan and Xuanda?"

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, when the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, the soil will flood it. Now, I am no longer a big man who allowed the cavalry to come and go freely. The Jiuguan border towns have been gradually reorganized, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses can only be frustrated." Under the fortified city, but..."

Emperor Chongping said: "But what?"

Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Chen thinks that the Jurchens will contact the Junggar and Heshuote people to make an appointment to invade the border. The three parties will communicate with each other so that my big man can't take care of the head and tail."

When Emperor Chongping heard this, he was not surprised, but his face fell into thinking.

Jia Heng said loudly: "In the northwest, the King of Xining County is in charge, and in the land of Duogansi, King Meng is also in charge. It's not a big deal. I, the big man, should take advantage of the weakness of the Yi Di from all directions to give them a fatal blow."

It can be said that today's Han Dynasty is in the best historical window period.

Therefore, what a pity it would be if internal strife and even suspicion between the emperor and his ministers ruined this opportunity for peace and Liao.

When he came back this time, in addition to getting married, he also tried his best to use future generations' understanding of firearms in the weapons supervisor to guide the weapons supervisor to develop some firearms.

Then he couldn't wait much longer and immediately went to Tianjin Wei, Laizhou and other places to prepare and train elite troops to attack Liaodong.

Emperor Chongping nodded and said in a low voice: "What Zi Yu said is true. We cannot delay it any longer. The Liaodong issue should be completely resolved in one or two years."

Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. This time we advance by land and water. After recapturing Liaodong, people from all directions such as Junggar and Heshuote will also send troops to expel them. From now on, the four barbarians will be stable and the sea will be peaceful."

Emperor Chongping seemed to be immersed in the blueprint outlined by Jia Heng.

Perhaps Ziyu never had any ambitions, he just wanted to fight and hang out among flowers.

On the day when the world is truly prosperous and the world is at peace, won't he and the kings of future generations be able to accommodate a prince Xiaoyao?

With this thought, the fear and coldness deep in the emperor seemed to gradually dissipate.

Jia Heng stared at the emperor whose eyes were blank for a moment, feeling a little frightened and inexplicable in his heart.

After returning this time, I clearly felt an indescribable meaning, like an invisible barrier between the two of them.

After a while, many civil and military officials were seen coming quickly, and then led by the eunuchs and eunuchs, they entered the palace.

"We have met Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." The civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty saluted the middle-aged emperor who was sitting on the golden armchair.

"Your Majesty, please be safe." Emperor Chongping calmly glanced at the people present and said.

At this moment, a group of civil and military ministers sat down in the palace and finished.

Emperor Chongping couldn't hide the joy on his face and said: "Today is the day when Jia Ziyu returned from the war. Since last year, the Jurchen Tatars have suffered setbacks in their relations with our Han Dynasty. They have turned to seek to annex the Japanese country, hoping to increase their national power and compete with our Han Dynasty. Duke Wei led his troops to the Japanese country and defeated the Jurchen Tatars. After this battle, the situation between our Han Dynasty and the Donglu could be said to have been exchanged between offense and defense. It was completely new. The opportunity for counterattack was coming! In recent years, the situation has changed so much, and Jia Ziyu took the most credit. Great."

Although it was said that Jia Heng's daughter Jia Fu had been rewarded as the head of the county before, in fact, the reward was somewhat meager. However, it was sent for the time being in preparation for the day when Liaodong was pacified and the reward was given to the county king.

The civil and military ministers present had slightly complicated expressions on their faces when they heard the words "the greatest meritorious service".

Do these evaluations all attribute the credit of the New Deal and the reversal of the Han Dynasty situation to Duke Wei?

Jia Heng stood up quickly, with a solemn expression on his face, cupped his hands and said: "I don't deserve the praise of the Holy One. I just do my duty. If there is no Holy One, the king is strategizing in the center, the chief minister is in charge of the ministers, and the soldiers are fighting on the battlefield." , the situation will never be as good as it is now.”

The emperor wanted to put him on the stove to roast him. Why should he take credit as the most important thing? Although he could say this in his heart and say that one person could save the world, he still had to say that this was the crystallization of collective wisdom. Jia Heng's face paused, and after thinking for a while, he said: "We are from a humble background, and we were chosen by the Holy Master to be a humble person. However, he was not abandoned, so he recruited him as the emperor's son-in-law. When he was not in his prime, he was awarded the title of Duke of the country and a title. Grand Master, rewards are like heaven, just like reincarnations. Even if you are a humble minister, you can't repay your father's deep kindness even if you are greedy. I don't ask for rewards, but I am willing to wipe out the barbarians and bring peace to the world for the Holy One."

The civil and military officials present could not help but feel a little moved when they heard the young man's extremely emotional confession.

Perhaps Duke Wei was a loyal and upright minister, and his sincerity never changed.

As for lust as life, people are not saints, how can they have no flaws.

It is better to be lustful and romantic than to be greedy for power.

Only Lu Li, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, frowned and looked coldly at the young man in python suit who expressed his feelings, feeling a chill in his heart.

A treacherous person is like a loyal person, and a cunning person is like a fox, but that's all.

When power really comes to dominate the government and the opposition, it is possible that the Cao family will replace the Han Dynasty and the Sima family will usurp the Wei Dynasty.

But now that Liaodong is not at peace, we can't live without this little Jia Heng.

Emperor Chongping looked gently at the young man in python suit who confessed generously, and said: "Then after Liaodong is pacified, the merits will be rewarded together."

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I thank you for your kindness."

When I returned to my seat, I felt a little mixed.

This is actually another review and inspection by the emperor. If he is at a loss or shows arrogance, he will undoubtedly fail the test.

Emperor Chongping then looked at the two vassals of Wei and Chu, and said: "The two vassals of Wei and Chu have managed the army before and after, and have done their duty diligently. They have been in charge of the clan government and the household department, and have increased their salary by 200 dan as a reward."

Below, the two kings of Wei and Chu stood up, with beaming faces, and thanked Emperor Chongping in unison: "My dear father, I thank you."

However, both the King of Chu and the King of Wei felt a little disappointed. If only one person was rewarded, it could still be regarded as belonging to the Sacred Heart. What is going on now?

The rain and dew are both there, so don’t think about it unfairly?

Emperor Chongping glanced at the group of Han ministers below and said in a clear voice: "Everyone, please have your meal."

Everyone thanked him in unison, and then began to eat lunch.

When Jia Heng put down his chopsticks, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Kunning Palace, wondering if Tianniu'er was giving birth at the moment.

The birth is a boy or a girl.

If you calculate the time, you should have given birth to the child at the beginning of the year. He was in the Japanese country, handling the government affairs of the Japanese country, and due to the isolation of information and books, he did not hear any news.

Seeing Jia Heng staring blankly, Wei Wang Chen Ran looked curious and asked in a low voice: "What is Ziyu thinking about right now?"

Jia Heng withdrew his leisurely and trance-like gaze, raised his eyes to glance at King Wei, smiled and said, "I was wondering what the Liaodong Jurchens were doing at the moment."

I secretly thought, I can’t say, I’m thinking of your mother right now.

King Wei smiled and said: "The Jurchens should be in panic all day long at this moment, thinking about how to deal with my big man's counterattack."

After he succeeds to the throne, he should be succeeded by a man who can serve as a foreigner and bring peace to the world, and he will create another prosperous era.

Jia Heng smiled, picked up the tea cup in his hand, raised the cup to King Wei, then raised his head and drank it all.

Speaking of which, he really missed Sweet Girl.

The fragrance of flesh that is so close, there is also a touch of sweetness of matsutake, and when the beauty is delicate and angry, in addition to the mature charm, she is as charming as a little girl.

It’s really unforgettable and unforgettable.

……

……

Palace Garden, Kunning Palace, Xinuang Pavilion——

It was near noon, and the bright and warm sunlight shone through the carved window lattice and onto the glass screen in the hall.

Wearing a vermilion dress, a towering cloud bun, and a snow-skinned beauty, she sat on a soft couch with a beautiful and beautiful expression that was a little bored.

The sides of the beauty's icy-skinned face are already as red as rouge, and under her beautiful eyebrows, there seems to be a layer of plump and charming aura, and the belly that was originally bulging into a ball has become somewhat flat. .

The beauty picked up a tea cup and took a sip of the clear tea soup.

As he lowered his eyes, he looked at the tea cup with rippling circles. His beautiful eyes were as full as water. He couldn't help but be stunned, and gradually thought about the scene half a year ago.

Even after half a year, remembering the scene on the day of delivery, the beauty will inevitably feel ashamed and angry.

It is worth mentioning that in late March of the 17th year of Chongping, this fair-skinned beauty got madly entangled with Jia Heng at the Luoyang Palace and became pregnant. After ten months of pregnancy, she became pregnant in the 18th year of Chongping. In the last ten days of the first month of the year, it’s time to give birth.

As ripples appeared in circles in the tea cup, it seemed that the beauty was brought back to that day half a year ago.

In the late first lunar month of the 18th year of Chongping, the octagonal lanterns in front of Kunning Palace and the sleeping hall were swaying in the wind. The Lantern Festival was just passing.

In the wing, the lights were bright and orange, and outside the palace there were many palace maids and eunuchs carrying hot water and towels, coming in and out.

A middle-aged emperor was walking back and forth under the eaves of the corridor, with a look of anxiety inevitably showing on his dark, thin cheeks.

In the Xinuang Pavilion, where there is a glass mica screen, a graceful and graceful beauty lies quietly on the bed, her bright and jade-like forehead covered with sweat, but she does not look panicked.

After all, for the beauty, she had already given birth to two sons before, so she had rich production experience, so there was no fear that something would happen.

"Mom, please try harder." The midwife looked at the beauty whose forehead was covered with sweat and advised her.

The beauty was lying on a bed at the moment, her abdomen bulged into a ball, and her fair-skinned face was pale and bloodless, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, and her slender hands were grabbing the sheets with hard force, The joints of the five slender fingers seemed to be a little white.

The entire production process went very smoothly, after all, they have rich production experience.

Then, there was a sound of "ahhh", as if crying to welcome the arrival of new life.

When the beauty heard the familiar baby crying, her heart relaxed and her heart couldn't help but feel happy.

When the child was finally born, I didn’t know whether it was a boy or a girl.

It should be a big fat boy, she only gives birth to sons.

She knew that this would be no problem for her.

"Your Majesty, he is a little prince." The midwife said with a smile.

The beauty just breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on her face, and said in a weak voice: "I, look at him."

She knew that she, Song Tian, ​​would only have sons, hmph!

The man far away in Japan knew that he had his eldest son, and he didn't know how to be happy? I will definitely let him help Ran'er in the future.

Suddenly, I heard a hint of panic and surprise in the voice of the midwife, saying, "Mother, there is another one."

It was clearly another baby showing its head.

beauty:"……"

Why is there another child? No, these are twins? How can it be?

But on second thought, it seems not impossible.

The beauty was startled. Her beautiful eyes, which were originally a bit tired, were as bright as water. With her thoughts in turmoil, she secretly thought, could it be another son?

These two sons?

Xu was so surprised that the fetus in her belly fell out with so much force.

Accompanied by the cry of "Ahhh...", the entire palace was filled with clear and crystal clear cries.

"It's a little princess. Congratulations, congratulations to the queen." The midwife said with joy as she prepared warm water to wash away the amniotic fluid from the fetus.

The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and a pair of twins, a dragon and a phoenix, is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When the beauty heard this, her face as white as snow turned as red as drunkenness, and her crystal clear heart was filled with joy and sweetness.

This... is actually a pair of twins?

Outside the hall, Emperor Chongping heard what the nanny said, and the smile on his resolute face could not be concealed, and he said loudly: "Reward, reward."

Zitong unexpectedly gave birth to twins, a son and a daughter. He was so old that he didn't expect to have a son and a daughter. How kind was God to him?

As for the graceful and graceful beauty in Kunning Palace, her pale and bloodless face seems to contain infinite joy, her eyebrows are as full as water, and her heart is extremely happy and sweet.

She, Song Tian, ​​also has a daughter, so she no longer has to envy her sister.

"Bring the children here and let me see them." Empress Song was inexplicably happy. Under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. Her voice was somewhat weak, but full of maternal sweetness and joy.

"Hey." The nanny responded, hugged the swaddled baby over, smiled and said, "My queen, the little prince's features and eyes are very much like my queen."

When the beauty heard this, her pink and jade face looked inexplicably happy. Suddenly her heart skipped a beat, and her beautiful, slightly moist eyes fell into a trance.

I thought to myself, don't grow up and look more and more like that... little fox.

That's really deadly.

At this moment, the little princess also hugged her. Compared to the little prince, the baby girl was smaller, but she looked healthy.
