"My servant has said it a long time ago! Your Majesty is extraordinarily brave and well-planned. He is a once-in-a-lifetime holy king. How can he be defeated by the barbarians from the southwest?"
"Otherwise, Your Majesty would not have ordered Wang Sanshan to be governor of Yunnan, Fu Zonglong to be governor of Pianyuan, Zhu Xieyuan to be governor of Sichuan, Cai Fu to be governor of Huguang, and Li Biao to be governor of Guizhou. For today’s matter!”
"The above ministers all know the military and are familiar with the military and politics of the southwest. Now they are all controlled by Yuan Keli and have unified the troops in the southwest just for today! That's why the Shuixi rebellion can be put down so quickly! This shows the sage wisdom of our emperor!"
"And this great victory in Liaodong was also the result of my emperor's strategic planning!"
Fang Congzhe, who heard the news in the cabinet, was also very happy. He praised his king's sage and asked Han Xu, Wang Xiangqian and Xu Guangqi: "You guys agree, right?"
"What Yuan Fu said is true!"
All three of them replied like this, even Han Xu said: "If your Majesty hadn't known people well and planned well, I'm afraid that the affairs of Liao Dynasty would have been ruined at the hands of scholars!
Fang Congzhe looked at Han Xu in surprise.
Then, Fang Congzhe hurriedly got into the sedan chair and said, "Hurry, hurry, I will personally inform your majesty of these two pieces of good news."
"My emperor is wise! It has only been three months since the rebellion in the southwest has been put down! And there has been a great victory in Liaodong. Your Majesty's Yulin Guards are really good at fighting. When the imperial court mobilized the country's elite to conquer the Eastern captives, they were defeated miserably by Sar. Hu, but the Guards Battalion has defeated the Donglu in a row. It can be seen that the Guards Battalion is far better than the previous elites. This is the blessing of our great Ming Dynasty! This is an urgent report from the front, please read it!"
As soon as Fang Congzhe arrived at the political hall, he spoke to Zhu Youxiao with rapid breathing.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao received the urgent report and read it, then smiled and said: "Very good! The ministers in the southwest did not disappoint me, and the Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Guards Camps also did not disappoint me, especially the manager. To avoid Yuan Keli, he first lured the snake out of the cave, and then used a two-pronged approach to destroy the cave and trap it outside. If An Bangyan was besieged by our army in his hometown Shuixi area, it might be very troublesome to encircle and suppress him. After all, they have no control over the place where they live. The terrain is more familiar to them, but it will be easier to lure them outside and then encircle and annihilate them. After all, they are not familiar with their own territory and have no backup money and food! So you can see their talent! Of course, more importantly, the southwest The ministers cooperated properly, most of these ministers were recommended by Yuan Fu after he implemented the Kao Cheng method, and Yuan Fu should take the first credit!"
"And in Liaodong, it is now able to defeat the Eastern captives in a row, causing them to lose troops and generals. This is because Yuanfu urged me to retain Xiong Tingbi to guard Liaodong. This shows Yuanfu's ability to assist the government!"
Zhu Youxiao then spoke again, and was so happy that he put a high hat on Fang Congzhe.
"I'm ashamed! This is all your Majesty's plan for a rainy day. I was just following your orders."
Fang Congzhe replied humbly, but he was very moved in his heart. After all, His Majesty the Emperor was so sure of him.
At this moment, Liu Ruoyu ran in and said with a smile: "Your Majesty! Great joy!"
Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: "What's the big news? Is there going to be a double happiness today?"
"explain!"
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao put down the report and looked at Liu Ruoyu.
Liu Ruoyu hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there is news from the inner court that the Empress, Concubine Liang, Concubine Chun, Concubine Hui, Concubine Cheng, and Concubine Yu have all been diagnosed with a happy pulse."
"My queen is pregnant?!"
Zhu Youxiao stood up in surprise.
Seeing this, Fang Congzhe hurriedly reminded: "Back to Your Majesty, what Eunuch Liu just said is that not only the Queen is pregnant, but all the six empresses in your harem are pregnant!"
Zhu Youxiao quickly came to his senses: "Yes, yes, six of them are pregnant."
For a moment, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh to himself: "I work hard every night to farm, and finally my hard work is not in vain!"
"Since the concubine was chosen to enter the palace, there are six of the first batch of pregnant women, which at least shows that I don't have any fertility problems."
"I congratulate Your Majesty. The six empresses in the harem are now pregnant. This is truly a blessing for our Ming Dynasty and a sign of prosperity for the country!"
Fang Congzhe also congratulated him heartily.
Although it is Zhu Youxiao who is about to become a father, he, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, is really happy because of this incident, because in this era, whether the emperor has heirs and how many heirs he has are very important, otherwise he would not be It is called the foundation of the country, especially now that the Ming Dynasty is very likely to give birth to the eldest son. This is a Ming Dynasty that pays attention to the establishment of the eldest son. If there can be a legitimate eldest son, it will undoubtedly indicate that the Ming Dynasty will become more and more prosperous.
"It is proposed that the empress and the parents of the two emperors' concubines be promoted to the second rank, and each will be given five thousand taels of silver coins. The other concubines will be promoted to one rank, and their parents will be given three thousand taels of silver coins!"
Zhu Youxiao also immediately rewarded the pregnant concubine.
Then, he couldn't wait to turn over the Queen's sign that night. Naturally, he turned over the Queen's sign for no other reason than to be curious about how the Queen would feel after learning that she was pregnant.
"Is the queen here?"
That night, Zhu Youxiao was not very interested in reading the memorial. As soon as he heard the lights burst, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen hurriedly replied: "Go back to your Majesty, the Queen is not here yet."
Zhu Youxiao frowned: "Why haven't you come yet?"
Then, Zhu Youxiao simply put down the memorial, ran eagerly outside the palace gate, raised his neck and looked in the direction of Kunning Palace, then turned back to Wang Chengen and said: "Send someone to urge you!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wang Chengen replied.
After a while, Wang Chengen just stepped forward. Before he could open his mouth, Zhu Youxiao stood up from the imperial desk and asked happily: "The queen is here, right?"
With that said, Zhu Youxiao came outside the palace gate, and then saw the dignified and beautiful Queen Zhang Yan coming in all seriousness.
But Zhu Youxiao found Zhang Yan frowning tightly.
For a moment, when Zhang Yan walked in, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking: "Why are you unhappy?"
Zhang Yanze first greeted the emperor, then raised her big crystal eyes and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, does it mean that if you are pregnant with Longzi, you can't kiss your Majesty?"
Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips after hearing this, and then said: "Yes."
"Does that mean you can't do serious business?"
Zhang Yan then asked again.
"Yes."
Zhu Youxiao replied.
Zhang Yan said "Oh", and then asked: "Then why does the emperor still read the concubine's brand?"
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately became serious. He looked at Zhang Yan with a little disappointment and asked, "Why, don't you miss me? I shouldn't have asked you to come to the Qing Palace for a while, right?"
Zhang Yan didn't answer, she just lowered her head and touched her belly, which was not bulging yet, and then suddenly covered her mouth and became happy.
He promised to help Zhang Yan down.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw this.
After Zhang Yan came back, Zhu Youxiao took her white watery hand, then pulled her to sit on the royal bed of Nuange, and took her into his arms.
Zhang Yan asked: "Your Majesty, can you hug me like this now?"
"It's okay."
Zhu Youxiao replied, and then said softly: "You will have to work harder next, but there is no way. This is so that we can have children and the Ming Dynasty royal family can have heirs."
Zhang Yan exposed her eyes briefly and suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, I want to kiss you."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao replied: "Okay!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao held the queen's head in his arms, looked at her pretty face with warm eyes, slowly laid the queen down on the brocade pillow, then gently pursed the queen's red lips, and explored the fur of her tongue. He went in and knocked on the queen's teeth.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say you can't do business?"
"You can help me in other ways."
