After Ye Qingxuan sat down and allowed the doctor to check her pulse, she felt a little nervous.
She has followed Zhao Shan for many years.
Either she didn't have sex, or she wasn't pregnant.
Now, are you pregnant?
Ye Qingxuan waited, but the doctor didn't respond for a while, so Ye Qingxuan became a little nervous. After a long while, the doctor let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, ma'am."
The doctor turned to look at Zhao Shan and said, "Your Majesty, your mother is pregnant, but her pulse is not very clear right now. It is not clear whether it is one child or twins. After a while, she will be able to feel her pulse clearly."
Zhao Shan had a smile on his face.
Twins?
This is a good thing.
Zhao Shan waved his hand, and the doctor immediately withdrew. Zhao Shan looked at Ye Qingxuan and said, "Qingxuan, you have to pay more attention to your health. After all, you are not like Yuhuang. She has given birth to children, has experience, and has a good body and bones. You are the head Fetus, be careful."
Ye Qingxuan said softly: "I understand."
However, a different feeling arose in her heart. She felt as if she had taken root completely, and she also had sustenance in her heart.
Zhao Shan said: "During this period, you two sisters are living here in Changyi County to raise your baby. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan both agreed.
The two empresses no longer thought about fighting, so they stayed in Changyi County to raise their children.
After Zhao Shan appeased Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan, he first asked Zhou Huhou to further control the imperial city, dismissed the palace maids and concubines, and asked Gao Yuan to deploy people from Dongchang to protect them and ensure the safety of Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Shancai began to look through Yanzhou's information.
Huo Dan did a good job in this regard.
Huo Dan has a good grasp of the local land, population, and the situation of the big families. Zhao Shan only needs to look through it directly to know the general situation.
Half an hour later, Huo Dan came back.
Huo Dan saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Huo Dan, pays homage to your Majesty. Liu Fuquan's death has been announced, and people have been arranged to block checkpoints in various places to prevent Liu Fuquan from escaping."
Zhao Shan said: "You have done well. You are now the governor of Yanzhou. What do you plan to do next?"
Huo Dan's heart turned rapidly.
The governance of Yanzhou must be different from before.
If there was no change, Zhao Shan would not ask him, and would not care about it at all.
Huo Dan thought about it carefully. When he thought of Zhao Shan's governance measures and policies in Daqian, he felt blessed and said, "Reporting to your majesty, I will govern Yanzhou in general, which will be divided into three aspects."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Tell me about it."
Huo Dan said: "First, it is to strictly investigate illegal officials, pick up officials who violate laws and disciplines, and clean up the official atmosphere so that Yanzhou officials will not disturb the people, the people will not be afraid of officials, and the atmosphere of official governance will be improved."
"When Liu Fuquan was here, in order to win over bandits from all over the country, he turned local bandits into officials."
"As a result, there is a mixed bag of good and bad in the place."
"Many people became officials, but they were not actually qualified to be officials. Instead, after becoming officials, they began to bully the people and do whatever they wanted. Liu Fuquan did not dare to take action before, so I could only work as a paper framer, mending and stabilizing the situation."
Huo Dan said loudly: "The first thing now is to clean up the atmosphere and rectify corrupt officials."
Zhao Shan praised: "Not bad!"
Huo Dan received Zhao Shan's encouragement and further said: "Your Majesty, my second task is to eliminate the powerful families who have violated laws and disciplines."
"Many big families in the local area squeezed the people and made their lives difficult. In the past, in order to win over the big families, many conditions were given to allow these big families to expand."
"Now we have to bring order to the chaos."
"If a big family wants to survive, it must abide by the laws of the court and do things in a disciplined manner."
Huo Dan solemnly said: "As long as they violate laws and disciplines, I will rectify these people, kill those who deserve to be killed, and jail those who deserve to be jailed."
Zhao Shan said with a smile: "Your idea is good, but if you want to touch the big family, you will definitely offend others, and even be targeted by the big family. Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Huo Dan further expressed his stance and said eloquently: "Even if there is an abyss ahead, even if it offends people, I will not hesitate."
"Your Majesty, the Holy Lord, is in court, what should I fear? The people who should be afraid are these big families who violate laws and disciplines."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Not bad, very good!"
Huo Dan felt the praise in Zhao Shan's tone and felt even more excited.
Without any hesitation, he further expressed his position: "Your Majesty, the third thing I have to do is to inventory the acres, measure the land, and re-establish the land register."
"In addition, we have also begun to accept refugees and reorganize the households into the people. I will not suppress big families alone, but once a big family that violates laws and disciplines is found, their homes will be ransacked, exiled and their fields confiscated."
"These fertile lands will be distributed to the people who have been reorganized into households. I believe that the environment of Yanzhou will be improved step by step."
Zhao Shan admired in his heart.
Huo Dan is a good minister.
In fact, whether a minister is a traitor or a virtuous minister depends, to some extent, on how the emperor is.
If the emperor works hard to govern, his ministers will naturally be more virtuous. If the emperor is stupid, there will be more stupid ministers and sycophantic officials who will try to please the emperor.
The emperor's moral ceiling is high, and so are his ministers.
The emperor's moral lower limit is low, and so are his ministers.
What goes up leads to results, that's it.
Zhao Shan confirmed Huo Dan's governance strategy and no longer had any worries or doubts in his heart. He nodded and said: "Huo Dan, I look forward to your performance and hope that Yanzhou can be completely transformed in your hands."
Huo Dan said happily: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "You go to govern and further reorganize all the officials of Xia State. I will sit in Changyi County during this period and let the army raid the place."
"I accept your order!"
Huo Dan bowed and left.
Zhao Shan relaxed a little and did not send out troops immediately, but first reorganized the garrison in Changyi County.
After the army was reorganized and Huo Dan appeased all the officials, Zhao Shancai arranged for the Shence Army to go into battle to further annihilate the bandits who dared to resist in Yanzhou.
During Zhao Shan's drastic rectification of Yanzhou, Taishan County, Yanzhou.
This is the western border of Yanzhou.
At this moment, in Laiwu County on the border of Taishan County, Liu Fuquan was riding a horse and was very embarrassed.
Liu Fuquan was placed under house arrest in the palace where he lived. He was not allowed to go out or see anyone outside. Fortunately, he has a substitute in his bedroom, and he has a tunnel to go out.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Fuquan escaped successfully and decisively left Changyi County before the local ban was imposed.
Liu Fuquan did not dare to stop all the way, and finally escaped on horseback.
When he left the palace, he had some money with him, but now it has been used up.
Near the border of Taishan County, he also encountered a group of bandits and was robbed by the bandits. Thanks to his cleverness and decisiveness, he scattered all the gold and silver on his body, and the bandits went to rob him, and he escaped successfully.
Liu Fuquan was extremely tired from running all the way. When he got close to the shade of a tree, his legs were really painful from the friction of riding horses, so he stopped to rest.
It's late June now.
Entering midsummer, the weather is very hot.
Liu Fuquan wiped the sweat from his forehead, his eyes full of hatred.
When he was running for the road, he didn't have the intention to think about it, but after he stopped, his mind couldn't help but think about being betrayed by Huo Dan.
Liu Fuquan hates him!
I hate myself for being defenseless against Huo Dan.
I hate myself for being too kind to officials in the DPRK and China.
So much so that the Xia Kingdom, which he had spent so much effort to establish, was actually ruined by Huo Dan.
Liu Fuquan munched the dry food in silence, ignoring his messy hair and stubble, and just wanted to go to Qingzhou to find Kong Shentong.
Liu Fuquan's idea was very simple, to use the power of Kong Shentong to restore the country.
He is the emperor of the Xia Kingdom. Once he has the full support of Kong Shentong, plus Zhao Yue is going to be the enemy of Zhao Shan, and Qin Feihu is also going to war with Zhao Shan, he will definitely be able to restore the country under an all-out war.
At most, it would give Kong Shentong some benefits.
Liu Fuquan was full of confidence and fighting spirit, but he felt a little regretful that he could not sleep with Kong Lingyue, which led Zhao Shan to capture Kong Lingyue alive.
If Kong Lingyue becomes his woman in advance, the relationship with Kong Shentong will be closer and everything will be easier to handle.
Liu Fuquan barely filled his stomach, and after resting, he got on his horse and continued on his way. He entered Qingzhou and went straight to Linzi County, Kong Shentong's base camp.
Liu Fuquan was in Changyi County and worried about being discovered.
Entering Linzi, I have no worries.
When Liu Fuquan came to Linzi County, he received news at the gate that Kong Lingyue was back. She escaped from Chenliu County and fled all the way back to Linzi and back to the rear.
When Liu Fuquan received the news, his heart became hot.
The opportunity has come.
He wants to get Kong Lingyue.
As long as he proposed marriage, Kong Shentong would definitely agree to it in order to keep Qingzhou and have another ally. He became Kong Shentong's son-in-law, and with the help of Kong Shentong's power, he returned to Yanzhou, and everything became possible.
Liu Fuquan was so excited that he rode his horse straight to the general's mansion of Kong Shentong.
