The birth of Liu Ju had a great impact on the entire Daqian Empire, and the most superficial change was that the position of queen, which had been vacant for six or seven years, had a new owner.
Wei Zifu gave birth to the eldest son of Emperor Jianyuan.
Successfully promoted to queen.
Her son naturally became the real eldest son of course. Although Emperor Jianyuan did not directly make the eldest son the prince, it can be seen from his orders such as Dongfang Shuo to be the crown prince's son. As soon as the eldest son was born, he wanted to This child was designated as the prince.
It's just that the child is too young and he is stuck in the ancestral etiquette.
So there is no canonization for the time being.
This is superficial rhetoric. If I put it in a cruel and straightforward way, it means that these days, children cannot be considered standing until they are seven years old, so when they were closed before.
It also starts to be collected when the child reaches seven years old.
The impact of the death of the crown prince is obviously different from that of the death of the prince, so he has to wait until the child is established before he canonize him. However, although Emperor Jianyuan did not confer the crown prince immediately, everyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the eldest son of the emperor does not die in infancy, the future prince will not be crowned prince. The position must be his.
The status of the entire Wei family has been elevated again.
The identity of the maternal relative is completely confirmed.
Although Wei Qing had made meritorious services before, his identity as a maternal relative was not particularly real, because the queen's natal family and the concubine's natal family were obviously not the same concept, and the uncle of a certain prince and the uncle of the next emperor were undoubtedly not the same concept, let alone Wei Qing. Now that he has military exploits, even if he has no military exploits, he is still a hot commodity.
Even Chen Ajiao and Liu Piao were quite satisfied. They felt that their choice was right. With such a relationship, even if the Empress Dowager passed away suddenly, it should not affect them. Although they would not be able to become the future emperor, She is a biological mother, but she can barely do as an aunt.
Although Bai Sheng wanted to start directly from the next generation, after all, the children were still young and she was currently in the honeymoon period of cooperation with Emperor Jianyuan, so she did nothing in the end and just asked Wei Zifu to take care of the children. Go and sit with her. As for the education of the future crown prince, let's wait until he is five or six years old.
For the time being, you can start by spending time together every day.
Subtle influence.
When the child gets a little older, you can tell him stories and use stories to guide him. No matter what, you have to make the child more inclined to Huang Lao's school, or at least more inclined to let a hundred schools of thought come into being, instead of only respecting Confucianism.
…
Not long after the prince was born, Wei Qing and others led troops to go on an expedition again. This time they were quite well prepared, at least certainly much more prepared than in the original historical trajectory, and the number of soldiers and horses increased by tens of thousands.
It can be said that both Bai Sheng and Emperor Jianyuan were full of expectations for them, expecting Wei Qing to return with a great victory, so that it would be convenient for them to share their land.
A few months later, Wei Qing did not come back.
The caravan sent by White Saint to the Western Regions returned. Not only did they bring back a large amount of spices, gold and silver, they also brought back several kings, kings of several small countries in the Western Regions.
Looking at Zhu Yu, the commander of the escort army, who was happily introducing the identities of the kings to him, Saint Bai felt a little pain in his head: "So these are not here to pay tribute.
They were captured by you, oh no, they were captured by you after you destroyed the country. You also left a lot of troops to take over their country. If the Ai family understands correctly, those small countries in the Western Regions should be considered the territory of the Chamber of Commerce. Yes, we still have troops stationed there? "
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, it's okay for you to understand this way. Originally, we didn't actually want to destroy them, and we even wanted to conduct normal trade with them.
But they were so greedy that they didn't want to trade at all. Instead, they directly robbed our goods. We had no choice but to fight back. Then we didn't expect that they would be so weak, and we easily wiped out their core army. , and destroyed the country.
The quality of their weapons is quite poor, and they feel no better than the savages over there. There is still miasma there, and people are prone to illness. Although the climate there is a bit drier, it has no impact on us.
Aren't you letting us play by ear?
Anyway, the trade routes that run through the Western Regions also require some garrison locations to replenish supplies and water sources. Rather than relying on other countries, it is better for us to occupy the places ourselves.
Do you think we did something wrong? "
Zhu Yu was still a little uneasy while explaining. After all, by doing this, they were indeed making their own decisions. Although they felt that there was no problem, they really weren't sure whether it was in line with the Queen Mother's intentions and expectations.
"There's nothing wrong. It's just that the Ai family didn't expect you to be so reckless. So what's going on in the Western Region now? How did other small countries react when they saw you destroying these countries? Are they targeting you?"
Originally he just wanted to do business, but now the colonies have been established, so of course Bai Sheng has to understand the latest situation, and then he may have to change his original plan.
A caravan that was just passing by, and a caravan that was just passing by, killed caravans from several countries at the same time.
The situations we need to face are definitely different.
Maybe it will be criticized by others, and it is not impossible for some small countries to unite.
"At first, several countries united to attack us, and even carried out sneak attacks, killing many people in the caravan. In order to avenge the dead, we attacked with all our troops, and then those countries were wiped out, and the royal family Their heads were used to sacrifice the dead, so they were not brought back. These few are alive because they have good attitudes."
"Now the small countries in the Western Regions are basically respectful to us, and the big countries don't want to provoke us. The trade route should be completely connected, but I feel that those small countries in the Western Regions are too weak, and we are fully capable of killing them all directly. Killed and taken over.
I just don’t know what you think…”
It was precisely because she had witnessed the weak fighting power of those small countries in the Western Regions that Zhu Yu had the idea of annihilating them all. After all, it would be a pity if such a weak small country could not be destroyed and unified.
"Is it that weak?"
Neither the original person nor the White Saint actually had much impression of the Western Regions. They just felt that the Xiongnu who were close to the Western Regions were not weak in strength, so they naturally felt that the strength there should not be much different.
Otherwise, they would have been destroyed by the Huns long ago.
But now it sounds like they are a bunch of weak chickens who can destroy the country casually.
"It's very weak. Of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region, eight of them have been destroyed by us. Except for Qiuci, which has a slightly larger population, the other countries have quite a few people.
The total population of some countries.
There are not as many people as our Chamber of Commerce escort team.
Moreover, the quality of their weapons was also very poor. They had no iron weapons, and their gunpowder packets collapsed immediately after being thrown away. I felt that it would not be difficult to capture the entire Western Region.
But it’s a bit difficult to completely control it.
So I didn’t dare to act rashly! "
Zhu Yu continued to reply sincerely.
