Zhao Shan was very happy when he heard the news that Jiang Yuhuang had given birth to a daughter. In Zhao Shan's heart, there is no preference for sons over daughters. Both sons and daughters are the same, and the daughter is still a little cotton-padded jacket.
If you give birth to a son and fail to educate him well, you will bring disaster to your family.
If you give birth to a daughter and fail to educate her well, you will cause harm to other people and their family.
Whether it is a daughter or a son, they must be taught by words and deeds, and they must be taught with heart.
Zhao Shan waited quietly for a while, waiting for Wen Po and the palace maids to finish cleaning up everything before entering the room and saw Jiang Yuhuang, who was weak after giving birth.
Although Jiang Yuhuang is a martial artist, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has very good physical fitness. But no matter how good your foundation is, you can't withstand the test of giving birth to a child. After she gave birth to the child, her head was already covered in sweat, her black hair was messy, and there was a heavy look of exhaustion between her brows.
After Zhao Shan appeared, Jiang Yuhuang's eyes lit up and his voice was a little hoarse, but he said in surprise: "Why is Your Majesty back?"
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "The war in Jingzhou is over and there is something going on in the court, so I will come back."
Jiang Yuhuang said weakly: "It will be good if His Majesty comes back."
Zhao Shan teased his daughter first.
The baby has just been born and his skin still has some wrinkles. Because the child was too young, Zhao Shan did not continue to tease him and let the child continue to sleep. He turned to look at Jiang Yuhuang and said softly: "Yuhuang, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yuhuang smiled and said: "It is my duty to give birth to children for Your Majesty, so why bother? It's just a pity that I didn't join Your Majesty in the war to annihilate Zhao Rui in Jingzhou."
Zhao Shan comforted him and said: "I missed the war this year, and there will be next year. When next spring comes, I will send troops to destroy Zhao Gou, the king of Wu in Yangzhou. When the time comes, I will take you to join the war."
"really?"
Jiang Yuhuang suddenly became happy.
Everyone seemed to have strength.
Jiang Yuhuang is not a person who likes to be quiet. Although she is a girl, she likes to fight on the battlefield. Although she was used to staying in the harem all day, she was still a little reluctant.
Following Zhao Shan to conquer the north and south is the best choice.
Zhao Shan looked at Jiang Yuhuang's eager look and said, "How can I not keep what I said? Even if you take a good rest, you can only go to the battlefield to fight when your body is well. Otherwise, if you don't take care of the child well after giving birth, you will be killed." It’s useless on the battlefield.”
Jiang Yuhuang was full of fighting spirit and said happily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of myself."
Zhao Shan asked: "My daughter has been born, have you thought of a name?"
Jiang Yuhuang said: "Your Majesty, please make the decision."
After Zhao Shan thought for a while, he replied: "Let's call her Zhao Ling'er. I hope she will be innocent and unparalleled when she grows up."
Jiang Yuhuang said: "I listen to your majesty."
Zhao Shan and Jiang Yuhuang talked for a while. Jiang Yuhuang was not in good spirits and needed rest and recuperation. Zhao Shan got up and left, and at the same time asked the palace maid to take good care of him.
Zhao Shan went straight back to Cao Mengchan's palace. This was the queen's palace, and she had to come there both emotionally and rationally.
Cao Mengchan takes care of everything in the harem.
With Cao Mengchan around, the harem is stable and the general direction is correct. Even though Xu Yu'er's identity is very sensitive, now that Xu Yu'er has entered the palace, there are no rumors in the palace.
This is all due to Cao Mengchan's management of the harem.
The reunion of an old husband and wife has always been simple and unpretentious. After a hearty friendship, it has reached the depths of the soul. The relationship between husband and wife is maintained and connected, and the restless emotions between husband and wife are also vented.
Everything is so smooth and natural.
Zhao Shan understood the situation in the harem and also understood the situation of his son Zhao Chengqian.
Zhao Chengqian is a little older, already over one and a half years old, and will be over two years old next year. Under Cao Mengchan's guidance, Zhao Chengqian has begun to speak, and his enunciation is very clear and quite smart.
Zhao Shan is very caring about Zhao Chengqian.
This is his heir.
The heavy burden of future work will still fall on Zhao Chengqian. The current Zhao Chengqian is too young to be taught. In a few years, he can be sent to study and he will be nurtured from an early age.
Zhao Chengqian is the prince.
As long as he is a prince, he is destined to bear a lot of responsibilities. His status determines that Zhao Chengqian cannot enjoy a happy education. It must be an elite education with all aspects of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and labor. He has to wake up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog.
After Zhao Shan and Cao Mengchan had a conversation, they stayed in the palace to have dinner in the evening.
In the evening, Zhao Shan still stayed in Cao Mengchan's palace to rest.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
Under Cao Mengchan's care, Zhao Shan packed up his affairs and went to the court in person to preside over the meeting. When Zhao Shan was personally driving the army, there was no court meeting, and Zhuge Shang was in charge of government affairs.
Memorials that require Zhao Shan's decision are sent to Zhao Shan on the front line, and those that do not need to be sent are made by Zhuge Shang.
At the great court meeting, all civil and military officials gathered together.
Zhao Shanduan sat on the dragon throne, accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, and dealt with the memorials on a daily basis. Among them, Du Gangfeng took up the most memorials and time, because he was a wealthy man responsible for eradicating corruption and dealing with violations of law and discipline.
During the few months when Zhao Shan was campaigning in Jingzhou, Du Gangfeng dealt with a large number of big families and officials who violated laws and disciplines.
This is already the norm.
Everyone in the big family is afraid of Du Gangfeng, and the officials in the court are also afraid of Du Gangfeng and call him the Butcher. But in the hearts of the people, Du Gangfeng is the Qingtian Grand Master with cool sleeves, the nemesis of evil people, who makes decisions specifically for the people.
This is a polarizing evaluation.
Zhao Shanle saw the success and approved the memorials proposed by Du Gangfeng one by one.
Du Gangfeng reported all the memorials and finally said: "Your Majesty, the focus of these few months is to eliminate and rectify local corruption in Jizhou and Youzhou. Now that Jingzhou has surrendered, I ask your Majesty's permission to investigate the lawless people in Jingzhou."
"That's right!"
Zhao Shan agreed without hesitation.
Eliminating corruption is a banner of moral supremacy carried by Zhao Shan.
With this banner, we have the moral high ground and the support of all people in the world, so that we can have the most basic popular support. Zhao Shan has the absolute power of the army, and only by occupying the moral high ground can he be invincible.
Du Gangfeng received Zhao Shan's permission and retired with satisfaction. He is the deputy prime minister and the imperial censor. In fact, in the court, Du Gangfeng's power has directly matched that of Zhuge Shang, and his influence is no less than Zhuge Shang.
After Du Gangfeng finished his report, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Wanyan Zhou, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, wishes to see you."
"pass!"
Zhao Shan gave an order.
The eunuch went to deliver the order, and not long after, Wanyan Zhou strode into the main hall.
Wanyanzhou was more than eight feet long, tall and burly, with a big beard under his chin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was very imposing. When he entered the main hall, he did not follow suit, but walked like a dragon and a tiger, observing the civil servants and generals in the hall as he walked.
When he reached the main hall and stood still, Wanyan Zhou's eyes fell on Zhao Shan, his eyes like daggers staring at Zhao Shan, as if he wanted to suppress Zhao Shan from his momentum.
Zhao Shan was as motionless as a mountain, and all Wanyan Zhou's momentum was like a mud cow sinking into the sea.
At the same time, Zhao Shan also looked at Wanyan Zhou.
Wan Yan Zhou tilted his head slightly and saluted in a perfunctory and casual manner: "Wan Yan Zhou, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, has met Emperor Da Qian."
Zhao Shan noticed Wan Yanzhou's gesture and words, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that you came to Luoyang to request a marriage on behalf of Emperor Wan Yanming of the Jin Kingdom."
"yes!"
Wanyan Zhou answered immediately.
He shook his robe, put his hands behind his back and held his head high, looking confident and confident: "Please ask Emperor Daqian to arrange for the royal princess to marry Wanyan Gao, the crown prince of Dajin Kingdom, so that the two countries can marry and maintain the friendship between the two countries."
Zhao Shan sneered in his heart.
friendship?
There is never any friendship between countries, only eternal interests. Wan Yanzhou talks about friendship, but behind the scenes it's all about calculations and interests.
Zhao Shan's eyes were sharp and he asked: "Wanyan Zhou, are you really here for the friendship between the two countries?"
"certainly!"
Wanyanzhou answered without hesitation.
Zhao Shan leaned forward and said loudly: "Since it is to maintain the friendship between the two countries, let's change our strategy. Go and tell Emperor Wan Yanming of the Kingdom of Jin to select the most beautiful princess of the Kingdom of Jin and send it to Luoyang to be my concubine. enhance the friendship between the two countries.”
The pupils in Wanyan Zhou's eyes shrank, a little confused, and even more shocked.
Zhao Shan really dares to think!
