When King Anhua rebelled, the whole country was shocked.
Because since Zhu Gaoxu rebelled in the first year of Xuande, no vassal king dared to raise an army in the past seventy or eighty years.
The shock did not last long, and news came that the imperial army had suppressed the rebellion within ten days. In some places, reports of rebellion and counterinsurgency were even received at the same time.
Officials and people everywhere were amazed, either laughing at King Anhua for daring to rebel without knowing his own capabilities, or praising the imperial court for its strong military force and the ability to easily capture rebels.
The sects and vassals in various places had different reactions. Because the blood relationship had long been distant, and they lived far apart from each other, many vassal kings were indifferent to each other.
Whoever wants to rebel can rebel. Anyway, whoever becomes the emperor will be a prince (king of the county) in his own family. As long as he is not in trouble, it has nothing to do with his family.
Of course, there are also those who are secretly sarcastic. Nowadays, there are reports of bandit riots in Huguang and Jiangxi. Why have they not been eradicated for several years? It would be quicker to exterminate the old Zhu family.
Unexpectedly, these words seemed to come true, and soon, a new wave of "extermination of Lao Zhu's own people" began quickly.
This time, most of the feudal kings could not sit still.
——The Jin Yiwei found out that the Qing Fan of Shaanxi, the Jin Fan of Shanxi, and the Dai Fan of Shanxi were in collusion with King Anhua to rebel. The evidence was conclusive, and they used the theory of conspiracy to eliminate the vassal state.
The Anhua King's line was executed, and only one of them was spared. The other clans of the Qingfan, Jin, and Daifan families were all demoted to common people and relegated to high walls.
Due to the large number of people in the three prefectures, Fengyang could not accommodate them, so they decided not to move to Fengyang, but chose a place in the province to build idle houses with high walls imitating Fengyang to house the common people of the Sin clan.
Among them, those who had committed adultery and committed criminal offenses were still to be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Those who deserved the death penalty and those who deserved to guard the borders should be treated as if they were common people who broke the law.
The residences, properties, farmland, and incense fields of several princes were all confiscated.
The so-called perpetrators not only refer to the unscrupulous descendants of the previous Jin vassal family and King Qingcheng's branch who violated national laws, but also refer to the Jin vassal who resisted and injured the Jinyi guards during the Jinyiwei operation because they refused to accept the search.
, a descendant of the Dai vassal clan.
At that time, the Qing Fan clan was first hijacked by the rebels of King Anhua, and then the imperial army arrived. They had no ability to resist, so they were captured obediently.
But Jin vassal and Dai vassal are different. Although they no longer have statutory guards, who doesn't have some useful servants?
What's more, the Jin dynasty had a large clan population, plus more than 10,000 servants. Even if there were women and not everyone could fight, it would not be something that the 1,800 Jin Yiwei officers and soldiers could handle.
Moreover, the descendants of the Jin dynasty were not good people in the first place. They were accustomed to doing evil in the local area. They were not willing to let the Jinyi guards "search for evidence" and would take action at the slightest disagreement.
It is said that in addition to injuring the Jin Yiwei in a group fight, they also killed two local officers and soldiers.
Killing the officers and soldiers and injuring the imperial guards is tantamount to rebellion!
When it comes to rebellion, these dandy clans really don’t have the guts to say it, but they really don’t have the heart to do so. In addition to being arrogant, they also have a mentality of "the law does not blame everyone", and they always feel that the court should treat the clans and vassals with leniency.
Yes, the emperor always wants to be shameless. Aren't you afraid of being reviled by the world if you are cruel to the clan?
They still have the sweet dream that "the emperor will appease the clan and then beat the royal guards to calm down the clan's anger."
Little did he know that the little emperor liked asking for money more than asking for face.
He also completely underestimated the little emperor's disgust for them and his determination to eradicate them.
What's more, Shi Wenyi was waiting for them to resist. If they didn't resist, it would be difficult to attack them.
Shi Wenyi is not the good-for-nothing like Yang Yu. In addition to making money, his ability to do things is also recognized by the eunuchs.
Not long after Shi Wenyi left the capital, he caught up with Shenying's army. At that time, Shenying had received the news that the rebellion had been put down, and was still depressed about not getting the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Shi Wenyi then presented the opportunity to his door.
Both were from Liu Qiansui, and both were very keen on seizing wealth. As soon as they met and discussed, they decided on a plan. Shi Wenyi rushed to Shanxi first and arranged secretly. Shenying's army moved slowly, waiting for Shi Wenyi's signal.
The Jin vassal, on behalf of the vassal, made trouble, and the Shenying army arrived immediately, which was a great achievement in "quelling the chaos".
The vassal of the Jin dynasty was thus firmly nailed on the charge of treason, and it was natural for them to be imprisoned and confiscate their homes.
It's just that such "rebellion" cannot stop everyone in the world.
Even the local officials and people in Shanxi who deeply hated these royal palaces for causing harm to the region could not help but whisper whether the imperial court was taking the opportunity to cut down the vassalage.
Some courtiers who were worried that the young emperor's young impulsiveness would repeat the mistakes of Jianwen and force him to rebel against the vassals immediately wrote to the emperor and visited the cabinet ministers, hoping that the court would treat the clan with caution.
Not to mention the vassal kings, in their eyes, it was the imperial court sending troops to encircle and suppress the "innocent" vassal kings, and then they just came to kill them all, how cruel!
Back then, Xuan Temple took advantage of Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion to recruit the guards of the vassal palaces. Now, is the little emperor going to use the Ping An transformation to not even leave any land to the vassals?
Then, the vassals were shocked and angry, but found that they had little ability to resist in the face of the imperial army.
Is it possible for King Anhua to collude with the officers and soldiers of the guard station? They are not even close to each other, so can they collude with each other?
It's not like the bitter cold land in the north of the Great Wall. Why would a good fat chap want to rebel and work for his life with you?
What's more, the imperial army has achieved impressive results in recent years. Not to mention the bandit suppression in Taihu Lake and the bandit suppression in the East China Sea, it only took ten days to suppress the rebellion in the northwest!
It only took two days to clear the Jin vassal and replace the vassal vassal with many vassal mansions...
After the vassal government of the Jin Dynasty was cleared, the imperial court built the Shanxi Martial Arts School on the cleared land.
What is the purpose of Jianwu? Training soldiers and developing weapons.
Starting a rebellion? Whoever wants to go can go...
Many feudal lords retracted their necks because they couldn't be beaten, so just live a good life.
There were also vassal kings such as the King of Shu and the King of Chu who wrote to the court, denounced Jin Yiwei for openly plotting against the clan, and asked His Majesty to make the decision for the clan. However, this was just to gain a moral footing and force the court not to go too far.
When those folds came into Brother Shou's hands, Brother Shou even tasted them with Yang Tinghe with a smile, and praised: "There are indeed many talented people in Shu. Sir, I saw that the writings of the Prince of Shu's folds are so beautiful."
It really made Yang Tinghe, a Sichuan native, dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
However, under the persuasion of the pavilion elders, Shou Ge issued a lawful decree to appease the subordinate vassals, and then waved his hand and issued the decree of Daoyin to seal the nephew of the imperial official.
One is Yin Liu Jin's nephew Tan Er Han Jin Yi Wei Qian Hu, and the other is the younger brother of Zhang Yong who was promoted to Qian Hu Zhang Rongwei to direct the affairs.
The lords who folded up almost turned their noses in anger. Is this still appeasement? This is a demonstration!
Rewarding Zhang Yong's brother was just for quelling the rebellion. What was the purpose of rewarding Liu Jin and his nephew?! - To seize the Jin vassal and replace the vassal?!
However, they were so indignant that before they took the next step, the real "demonstration" came.
The imperial court promulgated the "Regulations on Suspensions and Vassals" and made a large-scale adjustment to the suzerainty and vassal policies in the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions".
Although most of the contents of the vassal regulations were based on the "Huang Ming Ancestor Instructions", policies such as liberalizing vassal bans and even allowing clan members to enter official positions through imperial examinations still caused a stir in the world.
Scholars were very conflicted about such vassal regulations.
All knowledgeable people know that Zonglu has become a huge burden on the national treasury, and the Zongfans who have acted recklessly have also become a social cancer. The reform of Zonglu policy is really a good thing for the country and the people.
But letting the clan members take the imperial examinations is a way to seize the opportunity for literati to rise!
Although very few of the clan's children are knowledgeable, they are clan members. Do the local governors dare to offend them? Can the examination really be fair?
There was a foolish censor who elaborated on this matter and spent all his efforts in exaggerating the injustice.
It was rare for the emperor to reply in person, but he wanted all the officials and his disciples to avoid suspicion?
The censor was speechless for a moment.
On the clan side, due to the complex hierarchy, their attitudes towards the vassal regulations are also different.
Most of the provisions in the vassal regulations are aimed at the clan below the general. The impact on the princes and princes is just the loss of some subordinate officials, the loss of some clothes, and in the future, Dona's little wife, the little wife who is not a good citizen,
The court would not support children born out of wedlock.
For the wealthy princes and princes, this is actually nothing. The Zhu family is also very limited in love, and there are few people who would definitely give a jade ultimatum to a certain "true love" brothel girl.
As for Peanut, the dissatisfaction passed down from generation to generation, people at that time were most particular about blood, and no one would care what people like them think.
Of course, there are also those among them who can win favor and act coquettishly in front of their fathers and ancestors to win titles for themselves.
It's a pity that this is an express provision in the ancestral training of Emperor Ming, but now the inspection is more stringent. Their fathers and ancestors are not stupid, and they will not submit a letter on this point even if they want to.
For clans outside of the fifth server, they basically support this reform.
They were at the bottom, and those who deprived Zonglu were the first to take advantage of them. Moreover, the feudal lord prohibited them from working and farming, which really meant that people would starve to death.
Now that the four people's business has been opened and the city ban has been lifted, it has truly given them a chance to live.
Especially the Wufu clan in Shandong, who heard the news, all shouted long live the Holy Ming. Shandong is now in need of people everywhere. As long as they work hard enough, raising a family will not be a problem, and getting rich is within easy reach!
Below the county king, the clans within the fifth server have the biggest objections. Zonglu has been reduced, and the Zongxue system has delayed the time for them to get zonglu. They may even lose their titles if they fail the assessment. This is simply a curse for them.
Like a heavy yoke.
When it comes to taking the imperial examination and becoming an official, how many of them can get into school? This so-called way out is almost as good as none.
Unfortunately, their status is not high, and they have no right to speak, so they have to try their best to speak out.
As a result, all kinds of discounts were handed over, filling Brother Shou's desk.
At this moment, two more things happened, both related to the vassal king. Brother Shou took care of them with a stroke of his pen, which could be regarded as expressing the court's attitude and pointing out a clear way for the vassal.
One is that Prince Zheng Zhu You of the fiefdom of Huaiqing Mansion in Henan Province passed away and had no children. His cousin Zhu Youkun invited him to become the prince.
Zhu Youxu's father died young, so he ascended the throne as his grandson.
This Zhu Youfang is the eldest son of Dongyuan County Prince, the fourth son of the second generation of King Zheng Zhu Qiyong.
Regarding the issue of inheriting titles, the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty require: "All princes and princes must be the legitimate eldest son... If the legitimate son has a reason and the concubine inherits the title of his father, he will be inherited by the concubine eldest son. If there is a competition for succession, the misty memorial will be issued.
Anyone who disturbs the sect will be investigated and punished, and the counselors and conspirators will be patrolled and punished according to the censor's questions."
As early as the second year of Zhengde, Shou Ge issued an edict to reiterate this when rectifying the affairs of the vassal. It was also clearly mentioned in the vassal regulations this time.
But the regulations stipulate this, and there are cases where side branches of the Ming Dynasty attack the nobility. It depends on the attitude of the royal family.
Pushing forward a few decades, the first generation of King Zheng and the second generation of King Zheng often caused trouble for Yingmiao, and the royal family never liked Zheng Fan.
Going forward a few years, in the second year of Zhengde, Wang Jin, the chief guest of the Yuanling County of Zheng Fan, had an affair with a prostitute during the funeral of his mother, and was reported to the imperial court. Shou Ge severely punished the man and dismissed him from his post and reprimanded King Zheng. King Zheng also I am quite dissatisfied, as the apology note is extremely insincere.
Going forward one month, when Liu Jin was pushing to clear the throne of Henan, King Zheng had just passed away, and Princess Zheng asked the court to postpone the investigation of the village land under the name of Prince Zheng on the grounds that the funeral ceremony had not been completed. This was also used by some people to criticize the court's policy of clearing the governor of Henan. With.
This is adding trouble to the royal family, and you still want to seize the throne?
Even though Zhu Youkun had spent a lot of money on the court early on, he only received a four-word reply: "It is against the rules."
The Ministry of Rites gave an example of the seizure of direct descendants by Zhou vassals in the 13th year of Hongzhi, and painfully illustrated the dangers of concubines coveting titles.
King Yining and King Pingle of the Zhou Dynasty were dissatisfied with their eldest brother being crowned the heir apparent and wanted to seize the title, so they falsely accused the eldest brother of "killing his father by poisoning", "steaming his father and concubines", and "having trouble with his brother's wife". Because of the crime, they formed gangs and fought among themselves, causing chaos in the Zhou government and causing fratricide.
It was not until Xiaomiao sent eunuch Zhao Zhong, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and Minister of Punishment He Jian, together with the Third Division of Town and Patrol Division, to investigate, that the truth was finally revealed, and King Yining and King Pingle were demoted and moved to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum.
The attitude of the emperor and the Ministry of Rites was so clear that in the end, King Zheng was eliminated without a son.
This is the fourth vassal state to disappear within a month.
Another one was written by King Ning, saying that because the lanterns he presented caused flooding in the Qianqing Palace, he was willing to donate 50,000 taels of silver to repair the Hongde Palace.
Then, he clearly expressed his support for the vassal regulations.
He also reported, "There are many people in the recent clan. On the pretext of choosing honorable guests and appointing captains, they skillfully expropriate people's wealth and do whatever they want. They ask for surrender and order to correct the past shortcomings. Those who indulge in evil and do not change will be subject to their subordinates." "Government and participation."
He also reported to the imperial court the affairs of King Jinjun of Jian'an, Yiyang of Le'an and other prefectures and towns and the generals who had harmed the country.
This was the first vassal king to publicly stand up to support the vassal regulations. Many courtiers praised this. After discussion by Fei Hong, the Minister of Rites, Cao Yuan, the Minister of War, and others, they said, "King Ning has experienced all the deaths, and he can be said to be loyal and diligent. It is advisable to issue memorials, warnings, and edicts, and allow the king to admonish those who violate the law."
The emperor agreed in full and granted King Ning the judicial power over the clan branches, and punished all the illegal clans reported by King Ning. He praised King Ning as a wise king, and also praised his son Xiao's father for his ability and political integrity, and planned to call him Secretary Xiang Ancestral Temple.
There are rumors circulating in the capital that the imperial edict of the Sixiang Ancestral Temple, the youngest son of King Zhaoning, was granted, but was only returned by a few elders in the cabinet.
Although no one saw the shadow of the imperial edict, it was still rumored that it had a nose and eyes, saying that it was - "Dragon Paper of Different Colors, and a Gold Reward".
This heterochromatic dragon paper is a paper specially used for official documents of the imperial government. Normally, this paper is only used when issuing edicts to supervise the country!
If it is such an imperial edict, isn't the emperor's intention obvious?
For a time, people in Beijing were in shock.
All the vassals, especially the vassal kings who had had Si Xiang's idea, secretly scolded King Ning for being cunning and regretted that they did not seize the opportunity.
With these two positive and negative examples, doesn't Zongfan still understand the royal attitude? Isn't it clear what to do?
Soon, King Rong, King Xing, King Heng, King Zhou and other vassal kings also began to write letters, saying that the changes to the vassal regulations were correct and good.
King Xing originally funded the construction of an academy in the local area, and this time he immediately established a ancestral school in accordance with the vassal regulations. He also imitated the practices of Shandong, Songjiang and other wealthy clans and established a "scholarship" system to urge the clan's children to study and improve.
This approach was approved by the emperor. After the court commended it, Prince Ning also built an academy and even wrote a flattering letter to the emperor to name it.
At this point, regardless of whether the vassals were satisfied or dissatisfied, the vassal regulations were vigorously implemented. For example, the chief ministers of Henan, Huguang and other provinces with more vassal vassals and heavy burdens on their clans all breathed a sigh of relief.
Such "spending" can save a lot of money for the national treasury.
Simply "reducing expenditures" cannot solve the problem of the empty treasury of the Ming Dynasty; it must also "increase revenue".
After finishing the follow-up work of counter-insurgency, Northwest actively began the work of "open source".
——Ningxia Horse Market and Datong Horse Market are open at the same time.
Cong Lan was promoted to Shaanxi Chief Envoy Si Zuo and participated in politics, and Shen Xun was promoted Shanxi Chief Envoy Si Right to participate in politics, overseeing the affairs of the two horse markets respectively.
Zhao Hongpei, who was originally sent by Brother Shou to study the horse market, but Li Xi had nothing to do with the horse market.
Zhao Hongpei was promoted to the Ningxia Guard Commander and continued the finishing work in Ningxia.
Li Xi's title of "Crown Prince" was finally justified - the seal submitted by Li Min for the title was finally approved.
He used to have the title of "Yinfeng" with hundreds of noble families, but now he was promoted to the commander and commander, and was transferred to Zezhou, where he worked with Cai Song to establish Shanxi martial arts.
Li Xi was really overjoyed. Although martial arts was not as good as horse racing, all fools knew that Shanxi martial arts was the emperor's favorite.
Being sent to martial arts school means that he has entered the circle of the emperor's "confidants". He has a promising future, so how could he not be happy about it.
He immediately prepared a large number of gifts to express his gratitude. Not to mention the ones sent to Beijing, in addition to those sent to Shaanxi to Zhao Hongpei, Zhang Yong, and Yang Yiqing, there was also a large amount sent to Shandong to Shen Rui.
He also specially asked Tian Feng to find someone to send him by the way that followed the wind.
Tian Feng couldn't help but be happy to take this job, well, lately he has been busy with giving gifts to Mr. Shen.
In addition to Li Xi, Zhao Hongpei also sent something to Shen Rui.
Shen Xuan even sent Shen Xiang to make another trip to Shandong. This time, it was not Jian Cong who was driving a light truck at high speed, but actually pulling more than a dozen cars of Shanxi's "specialties" there, and also looking for Tian Feng to come to Biao Bank to escort him.
Of course, Shen Xuan would not use the banner of "thank you", but said that, counting the days, Shen Rui's child should be born, and Shen Xuan, as an uncle, must give his nephew three baptisms.
Tian Feng himself had already prepared the medicinal materials and toys for his mistress, so he combined these errands and dispatched a large number of capable escorts to handle them.
He was born in Shexinzi, and now he is eating a bowl of bread from Biao Xing. He has long been known to have heard about it. There has been a famine in Henan recently, and the ground is not very peaceful.
Although the convoy traveled from Hebei to Shandong, and the business going smoothly in the green forest always had to sell for a bit of face, but after all, this trip was for the owner's family, and everything had to be safe.
Fortunately, there was no conversation all the way, and the motorcade entered Jinan Mansion safely, but Shen Rui was not seen.
Shen Rui was summoned to Beijing by the emperor's order to report on his duties.
*
When the imperial edict arrived in Shandong, it was the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Along with the imperial edict, there were two elderly palace ladies who came to Shandong. They were said to be the aunts with the best gynecological skills in the palace.
Originally, Yang Tian's delivery date was approaching, and Shen Rui didn't want to go anywhere. If it was just an imperial edict, Shen Rui might be able to offer a favor to Brother Shou, and then rush to the capital after the baby was born.
But the emperor sent all the midwives here to show that he knew the situation of the Shen family, but the situation in Beijing was more urgent and he, Shen Rui, needed to come to Beijing immediately.
It would be impossible for Shen Rui not to go.
So, what could be so urgent?
There was only one thing running in Shen Rui's mind. In the past history, after Zhang Yong returned to Beijing, Liu Jin was imprisoned and completely collapsed.
And now, Zhang Yong is escorting the common people of Anhua on his way back to Beijing.
Could it be that Brother Shou is going to liquidate Liu Jin?
But, it shouldn’t be this time...
Brother Shou had not moved Liu Jin before because Liu Jin was a very handy sharp knife. If not, he would have cut out the entire Jin vassal and Dai vassal vassal.
Brother Shou also gave brother Liu Jin a generous burial, and his nephew Yin Feng's dignity was obviously a reward for his merits.
If the feudal lords were making trouble at this time, they would just push Liu Jin out as a scapegoat. But the feudal lords had clearly been suppressed, and no one was biting Liu Jin, so why did Liu Jin need to be touched?
Also, Qingzhang Henan...
Not long ago, the imperial court issued an order to transfer Ma Bingran, the Right Chief Envoy of Shandong, to the Left Chief Envoy of Henan. Many people thought that the emperor's move was to make room for Shen Rui, just like when Shen Li was transferred.
Because when the vassal regulations were promulgated, brothers Shen Rui and Shen Xuan initiated the reform of vassal policy, which was known to both the government and the public. Afterwards, Shen Xun was successfully promoted, and everyone felt that Shen Rui's promotion was not far away. I don't know how many people were envious and jealous of Shen Rui.
Prosperous official career.
But in fact, Ma Bingran was originally a right-wing political participant in Henan, and he knew the situation in Henan very well. He had been in charge of Qingzhang Mu in Shandong in recent years...
Both Shen Rui and Mr. Xie believed that this transfer was for the future Qingzhang of Henan.
The Qing Dynasty in Henan is imminent, but at this time, Liu Jin, who was the main advocate of this policy, was dealt with, which will inevitably have a great impact, especially since the Henan officials themselves are desperately opposed to this matter...
His thoughts were confused for a moment. Shen Rui analyzed and felt that it was not the time to deal with Liu Jin.
He told himself more than once that today is completely different from the history of his previous life.
But I still had the gut feeling that Liu Jin was going to fall this time.
He couldn't discuss this matter with Mr. Xie, and he couldn't give Mr. Xie a reasonable explanation why he must think that the emperor would liquidate Liu Jin at this time.
In fact, even if he really wanted to liquidate Liu Jin, Shen Rui would not want to wade into this muddy water. Although it was his wish for Liu Jin to fall, but after liquidating the eunuchs and leaving a large vacancy, it would be another melee in the court.
Shen Rui's current status is just local. He would not be considered worthy of attention in the court. He cannot grab any position, and there are no suitable people among his entourage.
Almost all the people he likes are the same as him, they are hard-working people, and they are serious about benefiting the place. It is really a huge waste to fight around in the court.
But no matter how I think about it, I have to go to Beijing.
Returning to the back house and looking at his pregnant wife, Shen Rui didn't know what to say.
But Yang Tian had received the news early, and even started to pack his luggage for going out, because he smiled and said: "Your Majesty's invitation, it must be an important matter, you just go, there is still mother, sister and sister-in-law Lu at home!"
"
This is about He and Zhang Qingbai, Lu Erqilang's wife. After getting along for many years, they have become as close as sisters.
When Yang Tian was older and the Xu family was getting older, He once again took care of the family in the name of Xu's adopted daughter and managed everything in an orderly manner.
Shen Rui is indeed relieved that Mr. He takes care of the family.
He was just worried about Yang Tian's health.
Although Yang Tianjiang has been raising well in Shandong in the past few years and has rarely had asthma attacks, this summer was dry and rainy and extremely hot. In the late pregnancy, she inevitably suffered from chest tightness and shortness of breath again.
Because her feet were bound, the swelling made it increasingly difficult for her to stand and walk. However, in order to give birth smoothly, she gritted her teeth and walked several laps in the yard every day.
This past month has been the most difficult period for her.
Even though Shen Rui is busy with official duties every day and it is difficult to accompany Yang Tian, he always feels that as long as he is by her side, he can "stabilize the military morale" for her.
Shen Rui squeezed her slightly swollen little hand tightly, and she quickly shook it back, then pulled her hand and placed it on her highly bulging belly.
Now is the child's active period. Soon, a small bulge will slide across the belly, pressing against the parents' hands on the belly extremely powerfully.
Yang Tian raised her face with a smile. She had pregnancy spots on her cheeks. Because she was afraid that makeup and powder would be bad for the baby, she kept her face bare and didn't use powder to cover it up. This should have greatly compromised her appearance, but her smile was extraordinarily warm.
It also has a calming power.
Shen Ruiyuan heard that pregnant women are prone to depression and sentimentality, and was very worried about Yang Tian, who was already sensitive, and thought of many words to enlighten her.
As a result, none of these words were used.
After being diagnosed with Hua Mai, Yang Tian seemed to have a son and everything was in order. She was always in a good mood and always smiling.
The tenacity in her bones was also fully revealed, morning sickness, edema, cramps, shortness of breath, heart palpitations... No matter how uncomfortable she was during pregnancy, she never complained, she just smiled and accepted all the hardships the child brought to her, and she was happy with it.
"Even if you are here, you are just waiting outside the delivery room. There is no need for you. There are so many people around me, what should I worry about?" Yang Tian said with a smile.
When she had no children, she was always anxious because he treated her so well and her mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter. Even though she was childless, he never had anyone around him, so they always comforted her.
How could she bear to bring down such a good man into having no children, and how could she not bear to let her mother-in-law, who was supposed to have an heir, cut off her relationship with him?
Fortunately, God showed mercy and allowed her to become pregnant. At that moment, all her anxiety disappeared. Especially later, when doctors and experienced women around her told her that she was pregnant with a son, she felt completely at ease.
Now it was just that her husband was not around when she was giving birth, so what? She firmly believed that since God had given them this child, he would definitely allow her to give birth smoothly and grow up healthy!
Shen Rui finally twitched the corner of his mouth, held her hands together, and whispered: "I think the emperor wants me to discuss Shanxi affairs. It can take as little as half a month, or as long as a month..."
Yang Tian smiled and said: "There are so many things going on in Shanxi, how can we let you back so quickly? It doesn't matter if the child comes back in a hundred days, he won't come back until he is one year old!"
Shen Rui saw that although there was reluctance in her eyes, there was no fear, so he felt relieved and said with a smile: "I'm not going to fight, so it won't take me a year to come back!"
The young couple chatted and laughed for a while, Shen Ruian paused and Yang Tian rested, and went to see his mother, Mrs. Xu.
There were some things that Mr. Xie couldn't talk about, but Mr. Xu and Shen Rui shared their opinions.
Mrs. Xu also experienced the changes in the situation of the dynasty after three dynasties. She pondered for a moment and said: "If it is true that your guess is true, the emperor wants to get rid of that eunuch, and if he transfers you back now, he will really treat you as one of his own."
Already."
Shen Rui was also filled with emotion, because he said: "Save it for me, my son has no resentment. It's just that my son is willing to be loyal to the emperor, but he doesn't want to get involved in subsequent disputes."
"Mother," he said in a low but firm tone, "in the past few years, I have done so many things in the local area, and I feel more and more that this is right and good.
“I feel happy from the bottom of my heart when I do practical things for the people and see them fed and clothed.
"When the people become rich, the local areas will become rich. Only when the local areas become rich can more tax money go to the central government, and then our Ming Dynasty will become rich. This is truly good for the Ming Dynasty!"
He prefers to be at ease in the local area. Although the local area is not without partisanship and intrigues among officials and gentry, it is much more refreshing than in the court.
Mrs. Xu looked at her son, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, "This time, just be the Emperor's 'one' first, and obey the Emperor's orders in everything. When the matter is over, you are willing to serve as the Emperor's guardian."
