"It's bitterly cold in northern Xinjiang, so Song Gong should bring more clothes."
He stopped and smiled.
Song Zhen turned around and glanced at the Liyuan, "Your Majesty, have you been in there lately?"
Serving ministers would not ask this question because they knew the emperor's movements.
Han Shitou nodded, "Yes."
Song Zhen was disappointed, "Hey!"
A gentleman, an emperor, you sit in a pear garden singing and dancing all day long, what is this?
Song Zhen asked softly: "Whose job is this?"
He turned and left.
Han Shitou watched him go away.
He said softly: "Gong Turtle!"
…
Liang Jing was reporting something to the emperor.
"...after the King of Yue left southern Xinjiang, there was some incompatibility between Shi Zhongtang and Zhang Chumao."
"Why?"
There was a conflict between the two giants in southern Xinjiang, but the emperor looked relaxed.
Liang Jing said: "Shi Zhongtang wanted to launch a large-scale attack on the rebels and then attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
He glanced at the emperor. According to the rules, any foreign attack without the emperor's approval would be an act of transgression.
The emperor's attitude determines the distribution of power between the two giants in southern Xinjiang.
I support Zhang Chumao.
Still supporting the imperial concubine’s so-called adopted son, Shi Zhongtang.
The emperor said calmly: "I am aware of this matter."
Han Shitou swore that Shi Zhongtang did not report the attack on the Southern Zhou Dynasty to Chang'an.
The emperor endorsed him with the intention of attacking Zhang Chumao.
He thought of the father-in-law.
Liang Jing also knew what the emperor meant, "Zhang Chumao objected and wanted to maintain the status quo. There were frequent conflicts between the two. Shi Zhongtang once raised a eucalyptus and threw it at Zhang Chumao, but luckily he avoided it."
The eucalyptus table is very heavy, so it is often lifted. Being able to pick it up and hit people with it shows Shi Zhongtang's bravery.
The emperor coughed noncommittally, "My adopted son is too impulsive!"
Han Shitou raised his eyes suddenly, then lowered his eyes.
The imperial concubine's recognition of Shi Zhongtang as her adopted son was more like a joke and no one took it seriously. But at this moment, the emperor endorsed it again.
My adopted son!
Is the emperor's adopted son someone you, Zhang Chumao, can comment on?
"Tell the abbot, Zhang Chumao, to be too domineering!"
"yes."
These words will not be transferred to Zhang Chumao, but will only stop at the state abbot.
——Prince of the State, I feel that you have been a bit domineering recently!
The emperor suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor recently gathered a group of powerful families to start a war with the Zhou family?"
"Yes, there are a lot of people." Han Shitou followed.
"Yes! There are quite a few people!" The emperor looked calm.
The appeal of the state leader was so powerful that it made the emperor afraid, so there was a scene where the emperor endorsed Shi Zhongtang.
I am dissatisfied!
Be more restrained!
Otherwise, I don't mind driving your son-in-law out of his position as the military envoy of Southern Xinjiang.
"Shi Zhongtang is young and Zhang Chumao is a veteran. We must cultivate talents for Southern Xinjiang. Don't be lazy!"
"yes."
——Zhang Chumao should give more power to Shi Zhongtang!
Otherwise, it is just greed for power!
In this case, he should be begging for his bones as an old man.
The emperor's words must be carefully savored to understand their meaning.
With this endorsement, Shi Zhongtang could become domineering in southern Xinjiang and sideline Zhang Chumao.
The power structure in southern Xinjiang has changed since then.
The emperor then went to change his clothes.
Mrs. Guo and the imperial concubine were talking together.
"That Shi Zhongtang is so lucky that he is valued by His Majesty. Alas! Hongyan, if you hadn't accepted him as your adopted son, he wouldn't be as lucky as he is today."
But no, if the imperial concubine hadn't adopted Shi Zhongtang as her adopted son, Shi Zhongtang would now be the general of Southern Xinjiang, but he could not be the deputy envoy of Jiedu.
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "That is your Majesty's order!"
In an instant, Mrs. Guo Guo felt chills all over her body.
…
Han Shitou knew this very well... The imperial concubine seemed to be charming and innocent, but she knew how to proceed and retreat.
Such a concubine, who knows her way around and knows how to advance and retreat, took a border general as her adopted son. Who gave her the courage?
That was the emperor's hint.
The abbot and his gang wanted to expand in the army, so they arranged for his son-in-law Zhang Chumao to go to southern Xinjiang. The emperor kept Zhang Huan, the military governor who wanted to return to Chang'an, in southern Xinjiang.
The mind succeeds.
Then, knowing that there was no way out in southern Xinjiang, the abbot arranged for Zhang Chumao to go to northern Xinjiang... Who knew that after the First World War, Zhang Chumao's reputation was ruined in northern Xinjiang, and he had no choice but to return to southern Xinjiang.
Zhang Huan would eventually come back, so the emperor took a fancy to Shi Zhongtang, who had a weak background and was innocent, and hinted that the imperial concubine would adopt him as his adopted son, just to contain Zhang Chumao today.
The concubine unintentionally uncovered this kind of trick, which was so subtle that it was shocking.
The emperor is back.
The accompanying maid looked shy, but Han Shitou knew that the emperor had been powerless recently. The so-called shyness was just to gain face in front of his companions.
——I serve the emperor to pee, and the emperor is attracted to me!
This is showing off.
That's right.
But the palace maid ignored the glances from the two women.
The Imperial Concubine and the Lady of Guo State.
The emperor sat down and asked, "What has Saburo been busy with recently?"
Han Shitou said: "After the Yue Dynasty's meeting, I studied in the mansion."
The emperor nodded, "Sanlang acted steadily. I am very happy. I appreciate this jade as I wish."
"yes."
"What is Erlang doing?"
…
"I have a stomach ache!"
Sister Huang was lying on the bed, staring.
"The doctor said that this is a problem you have imagined in your mind. If you don't think about it, it won't hurt."
King Wei was persuading him kindly by the bedside.
"The doctor must be a quack."
"That is the most outstanding doctor in Chang'an. He didn't want to come, but I grabbed him and carried him all the way back. Later I have to go to Jinwu Guard to explain..."
"Husband, second brother..."
"you say."
"I'm worried that the child will grow crooked."
"The doctor said you are overthinking. Look, how do I look?"
Huang Damei looked at King Wei carefully, "It's just ordinary." She touched her face again, "Fortunately, the mother is beautiful, otherwise my son would not be able to see anyone in the future."
"Yes! You are the most beautiful." King Wei smiled.
From the moment she was pregnant, Sister Huang began to worry about gains and losses. One day she said it was wrong, and the next she said it was not good. Today she was worried that the child was missing some part, and tomorrow she was worried that the child would be a fool...
The doctor said that this is just a conjecture and needs to be enlightened to make the pregnant woman feel happy.
King Wei's patience was limited. He always felt that he would get angry and glare at his wife.
Then, he thought of what Yang Xuan said when he went to Northern Xinjiang.
——Before I had children, I could make as much noise as I wanted with my wife. Once I have children, the woman will only have children in her eyes, and both of us will have to stay away. You will not be in her eyes at all.
Look at the way Sister Huang looks at her, a little distracted.
Zitai is right.
——But you can't ignore her. Otherwise, she will feel aggrieved and make trouble with you. In this regard, my method is... coax!
"Second brother, what will my children learn in the future? Blacksmithing? I'm worried that my children will suffer."
She doesn't feel pain when she strikes iron, but she worries about the pain for her children.
"Look!"
"Think about it."
"Let me think about it... read a book!"
"Studying...but our family is a blacksmith. Which blacksmith's child have you seen going to school?"
"My family's will do."
"You're talking nonsense again."
Sister Huang laughed.
Just be happy.
King Wei also laughed.
Sister Huang suddenly curled her lips, "You walked around in the yard last night, and you weren't afraid of the neighbors coming to trouble you."
"Their family wasn't sleeping at that time," King Wei explained.
"Anyone doesn't have one?"
Someone shouted from the front.
King Wei stood up and reached out to touch Sister Huang's forehead, "I'll go to the front. You can get up later and walk around slowly in the yard."
"The yard is uneven."
Sister Huang didn't pay attention to these things when she wasn't pregnant, but now she wishes she could bulldoze the yard.
"It's even."
After King Wei went to the front, Huang Damei got up and leaned against the door to take a look.
The whole yard is flat...
The flatness reminded her of the section of road in front of the Imperial City, which was stepped on by countless people every day and became extremely smooth.
But it was still full of potholes yesterday!
She glanced outside the door.
A pair of King Wei's shoes was placed there.
“You won’t be able to wear it if it gets wet in the rain!”
Sister Huang picked up her shoes while mumbling.
Astonished.
Then slowly lift the shoes up.
The sun shines directly on her face through the big holes in the soles of her shoes.
She turned around and went in to find some needle and thread... Yesterday she swore that she would never touch the needle or thread until the baby was born.
Then, I found the shoes again.
Humming a song.
Start making shoes.
In the front yard, the King of Yue was making gestures with a horizontal knife.
"What are you here for?"
King Wei came in.
The King of Yue put the horizontal sword on his arm and said, "Good sword. Second brother usually attends court meetings and has to forge iron when he comes back. Aren't you tired?"
"You've been attending court meetings all day, aren't you tired?" King Wei sat down, with no intention of inviting King Yue to sit down.
The King of Yue did not wait for his invitation, and sat across from him, placing the horizontal knife on the eucalyptus table, "Those old foxes talk with guns and sticks, and there are countless sharp thorns buried in one sentence, and you will be stabbed accidentally. I feel tired."
"
King Wei picked up the big bowl, which contained cold tea, and took a big sip.
"Cold tea hurts the stomach." King Yue's mouth felt a little dry.
"The doctor said that my liver fire has been strong recently and my liver likes to cool down, so I drank some cold tea."
"When a lady is pregnant, her anger is likely to be strong." The King of Yue's concubine is also pregnant.
"You have many concubines in your house, but you have never taken care of the children yourself. Why are you so prosperous?"
"Hey!" The King of Yue sighed, tapping the crest of the knife with his finger, "The princess is pregnant, and those concubines feel that the opportunity has come, and they are jealous and regard me as a piece of fat. Outsiders don't believe it, but I am more and more disrespectful towards women.
Interested."
"man?"
The King of Yue chuckled and said, "Second brother, you are joking."
"That's kidney deficiency."
"hehe!"
"What are you here for?"
The King of Yue smiled and said, "The surname of my mother's family is Yang. In Aye's opinion, this is the original sin. Aye was cruel and imprisoned his eldest brother for many years. When the time came, he directly killed him. Does the second brother know the cause of his death?"
"It's nothing more than killing with poison or strangulation."
"The second brother was smart and strangled him to death." King Yue said quietly, "But the second brother probably didn't expect it! It was Aye who strangled the eldest brother to death with his own hands."
King Wei said noncommittally: "The emperor has no family affection, do you still expect Aye to have a father-son affection for you?"
"No." King Yue shook his head, "I just want to say that if it is possible, Aye will strangle me to death without hesitation, just like he strangled his elder brother."
"Won't."
"Why?"
"Your princess is not a beauty. By the way..." King Wei took a sip of cold tea and wiped his mouth, "By the way, when you were looking for this princess, you were worried about being spotted by Aye, so you found someone with an ordinary appearance."
These words were humiliating, and Zhao Dongping came over from behind.
The King of Yue raised his hand and said with a smile: "Yes."
Zhao Dongping took a deep breath and slowly exited.
"Look, you are afraid that he will be like this. Even so, you still go to Chang'an and go to the court."
"The longer I stay in southern Xinjiang, the more likely I will be attacked in the future. With ulterior motives, I colluded with the border generals... tell me, is it enough for Aye to strangle me to death?"
The King of Yue smiled very kindly.
"That's not a good idea." King Wei put down the bowl, "So, do you want me to quit?"
"That year, you and I met outside the city of Chang'an. You came back from northern Xinjiang, and I returned from southern Xinjiang. You slapped me. Do you know why I don't mind?"
"My king's only heir is stupid."
"Yes. Now your wife is pregnant. Second brother, do you know how many people want to get rid of that child?" The King of Yue smiled.
"I have killed many people recently, are you among them?"
"I originally wanted to send someone here, but more than ten people were killed when I went out. Second brother, do you know who did it?"
King Wei shook his head, "I don't know."
He is just a piece of duckweed. Apart from his wife and children, the only mother in the palace is worth his concern.
Apart from this, the vastness of the world is all empty to him.
The King of Yue suddenly smiled, "Those more than ten people had their heads smashed, and their brains were deliberately sprayed on the walls of the palace, making them look like gangsters. Second brother, do you remember?"
King Wei nodded, "I remembered."
In the whole world, only the dozens of powerful men under Yang Xuan have this habit.
"Those big men have been in Chang'an. They should be Yang Xuan's good men stationed in Chang'an, waiting to take action. Since the news of your wife's pregnancy spread, those big men have taken turns to stay outside..."
King Wei remained silent.
The King of Yue stood up and said, "I am a little envious of this kind of friendship. But second brother, I have said that I did not regard you as a real opponent in the past, so I allowed you to do whatever you want. Now it is different. I, my king, be serious."
"What do you want?"
"Second brother." The King of Yue put his hands on the eucalyptus table and leaned over to look at King Wei, "If you want to counterattack, unless Aye deposes the queen.
But behind the Queen is the Yang family, and behind the Yang family are countless powerful officials. Aye, he doesn't dare!
So, what are you struggling with?
I advise you to go to Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible.
Since Yang Xuan can fall out with Aye, he doesn't mind protecting you for the rest of his life.
Go! I am watching you in Chang'an. If you don't leave Northern Xinjiang, I swear not to take action against you in this life."
Yang!
This is the power that the emperor is most afraid of.
"At first, Aye borrowed the Yang family, and finally made Aweng the prince and successfully ascended the throne. Now this is a backlash, and he deserves it!"
King Wei did not think that the emperor was wronged today, "But what I want to tell you is that I, the king, will not leave!"
Sin runs deep in the bones of this family!
and disgusting black pus.
He wanted to pick up the knife and scrape off all these things.
Starting from my grandfather Li Yuan.
Shaved off one by one!
The King of Yue smiled, "I know you are unwilling, so that's fine!"
He turned around and went out, "Today, my king's benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted."
As soon as he went out, the palace steward Ding came in.
"Those officials recruited by the king were impeached just now and were all taken down!"
The King of Yue turned around outside the door.
Chief Ding said angrily: "Several of the King of Yue's confidants have just been promoted."
The suppression from the emperor was urgent and ruthless!
