Huang Qiong's words made Duan Jin fall silent. Especially the last sentence made Duan Jin calm down. Leaning in Huang Qiong's arms, he said quietly after a long time: "It's not that I don't understand what Your Majesty said. It's not that I don't believe in Your Majesty's judgment, nor that I don't believe that Shuang'er and Sister Cai will protect our Feng'er. But. No matter what, Feng'er and I are connected as mother and son."
"No matter how good Shuang'er and Sister Cai are, they are not Feng'er's biological mother after all. Even if they care about Feng'er, they are separated by one layer. Feng'er has encountered this kind of thing at a young age. As a mother, I But you are not by his side, how can you not be worried in your heart? Your Majesty, it is not me who is embarrassing Your Majesty, after all Feng'er is the meat that fell off my body. How can a mother not be worried when her son is in danger?"
How could Huang Qiong not understand Duan Jin's answer? The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles, but the children will always be their parents’ thorns. No matter how far you go, parents will always worry. Her mother was so cold and cold, and she once thought she had no desires or desires. But once it comes to your own affairs, don't you always care about yourself? What is called caring leads to chaos? This is called caring leads to chaos.
Therefore, despite Duan Jin's extremely rare gaffe, which even reached the point of being unreasonable, Huang Qiong was still not angry. Because in addition to understanding Duan Jin, he was also worried about whether his second son, who was less than five years old, could pass this test. Duan Jin was more worried about whether his son would be physically harmed. Huang Qiong is more worried about the child's psychology.
When I was young, it was difficult to make it. But my mother blocked almost all the wind and rain for herself. Most of my so-called training comes from my mother’s experience. When he accepted the real hardship, he was already an adult. And now my child is just over four years old. What Huang Qiong is most worried about is whether this experience will have a psychological impact on him.
He could imagine what Dong Qianhong would be like when he acted out. One can even imagine the harm that the scene when she and Concubine De fought forcibly for the child would bring to ordinary children. What Huang Qiong knows better is that once the trauma caused by childhood is caused. Even if it's only once, it will take a lifetime to make up for it. And Dong Qianhong did this kind of thing more than once.
Huang Qiong believed that with Situ Huanshuang and He Yao here, his child would not be harmed in any real way even if his mother was not around. But mentally, whether it will cause any trauma, this is the biggest harm to this child. This is also the reason why Huang Qiong entrusted the child to Cai before leaving. Mrs. Cai is as considerate as her hair and is very kind to all children.
The education of children has always been very good. Zhang Qiaoer's two children were well taken care of by Cai. Huang Qiong felt more at ease when the child was handed over to Cai than when it was handed over to Situ Huanshuang. Although Situ Huanshuang would be good to children, Situ Huanshuang did not have no experience in raising children. In addition, Huang Qiong was too cold-hearted and didn't care about anything, so leaving it to Situ Huanshuang made Huang Qiong uneasy.
Now Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel a little secretly resentful in his heart. When he first received the report, he was a little too merciful and soft-hearted. It was precisely his own hesitation when the woman tried to test him that made the two women so unscrupulous. If I hadn't taken too much care at that time and punished him severely, things probably wouldn't have reached the point where they are now so difficult to deal with.
How could Huang Qiong talk to the already worried Duan Jin about this worry. I can only hope in my heart that Ms. Cai, who has a gentle temper and is very good at educating children, can adjust her children's mentality well. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel extreme disgust for Dong Qianhong and Concubine De, who were the instigators of the chaos in the palace. It could even be said that she hated them so much that she gritted her teeth.
Huang Qiong was not unaware of Dong Qianhong's ambition. But Huang Qiong always thought that Dong Qianhong could still control herself and would not do anything too extreme. If you want to get high, you will get it by educating your children well. When she was in Xijing, although she would do anything to keep her favor, Huang Qiong always thought that it was because she became a dependent of a criminal official and her own sense of crisis was at play.
After returning to Xijing, although she gave birth to a child, there were some problems in her behavior. In front of the other ladies in the palace, he always showed a certain sense of superiority and often targeted Duan Jin. But Huang Qiong believed that she should still act with restraint. But he didn't expect that she would actually do such a bad thing under the instigation of that damn concubine, and even set an extremely bad precedent in the harem.
Huang Qiong was extremely annoyed by Dong Qianhong's move. But Huang Qiong could only suppress everything in his heart for the time being. At least at this time, he couldn't show it in front of Duan Jin. That would only intensify Duan Jin's worry. Looking at Duan Jin who was thinking about his son, Huang Qiong could only patiently comfort him. Fortunately, Duan Jin also believed in Situ Huanshuang and Cai.
Huang Qiong spoke with sincerity, presenting facts and making sense. He also pointed out that Duan Jin really cannot gallop on his horse now. You can't just focus on your son, who is basically in no danger, and not the daughter in your belly. Finally, Duan Jin was comforted. Looking at Duan Jin, who was exhausted and sleeping in his arms because he was worried about his son, Huang Qiong gently picked him up.
He walked to Duan Jin's bedroom and carefully placed him on the bed. He didn't go anywhere, he just lay beside Duan Jin and held him tightly in his arms. It wasn't until a eunuch came in quietly and whispered in Huang Qiong's ear that there was a military report from ahead that Huang Qiong let go of Duan Jin in his arms. He pulled the quilt again and covered Duan Jin carefully before leaving just as quietly.
After leaving the house, he saw Duan Miao sitting outside the door with her chin in her hands and looking at God who didn't know what she was thinking. Huang Qiong pondered for a moment, but then said to Duan Miao: "I was discussing an important matter with Sister Jin, which is related to the safety of your sister's only son, and because it involves other things, it is not suitable for you to listen. So. My attitude towards you is a bit too harsh."
"For what happened just now, I am here to apologize to you. After a period of time, I will give you a certain amount of compensation. As long as your request is not excessive, I will agree to it. Now your sister is pregnant again, and she was a little angry just now. Gong Xin is still somewhat emotionally unstable. Now there are not enough eunuchs and palace attendants around to take care of her personally, so I can only ask you to take care of her. "
After hearing Huang Qiong's words, Duan Miao did not give any answer, and still sat there looking at the sky in a daze. Looking at the sister-in-law's back, Huang Qiong didn't say much. After just another gentle warning, he turned around and left in a hurry. As for Duan Miao, it was as if nothing happened the whole time. No one knew what was going on in her mind at the moment.
Huang Qiong originally wanted to stay longer and communicate with his sister-in-law for a while. But Huang Qiong, who was more worried about the war situation, finally gave up that idea. However, when Huang Qiong returned to the study, he discovered that the booklet, which had been urgently sent from 800 miles away, was actually sent by Yang Jiyuan. Huang Qiong opened the folder and read it carefully. The memorial presented by Yang Jiyuan was procrastinating and lengthy.
But the above content made Huang Qiong not angry for the first time because of the delay in the official's memorial, and he read the memorial patiently and carefully. As expected by Huang Qiong, the rebels on Fujian Road took the risk of ambush last time with the idea of seeking peace through victory. After setting up an ambush on the battlefield and taking advantage, the rebels also sent people to Yanping Mansion, where Yang Jiyuan was currently stationed, to demand negotiations.
However, when he saw the conditions proposed by the rebels in this document, Huang Qiong laughed angrily. The rebels who now control the three prefectures of Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou were led by Zhang Bingyuan, the former deputy envoy of Fujian Road Jiedu, who proposed that the imperial court set up a separate road among the three prefectures, with him as the pacification envoy and Jiedu envoy. The three governments paid the full amount of taxes to the court every year according to the amount in the previous years before the rebellion rose.
However, all internal affairs of the road, including the appointment of officials, were decided by him, and the court was not allowed to interfere. He has all the rights to control the excess money and food left by the road besides paying taxes, and the court does not allow any interference. The rebels now gathered in the three prefectures were converted into regular puppet troops by the imperial court and handed over to him for management and command. The imperial court's treatment of these three prefectures should be based on the previous Tang Dynasty's treatment of Hebei feudal towns.
That is to say, in addition to the taxes that should be paid to the court every year, the rest of the personnel, military power and property are all handed over to him. It's just that he didn't directly say that he would be canonized according to the treatment of a vassal country. This guy made these grand demands, and the fake emperor who first crowned himself king, and then simply made himself emperor. The only difference is that this guy didn't become the king.
I don’t know where that guy comes from with so much confidence. Now that the main force of the rebels has been completely wiped out, the puppet emperor has become a coffin. This rebellion that once almost swept the entire Jiangnan, now they are the only ones left, trapped in a land with barren people and three mansions. But do you still dare to propose such willful conditions to the imperial court? Does it mean that if you win a battle, you will be invincible?
If Yang Jiyuan hadn't underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, how would he have given him that chance? It was just a small victory, and he really treated himself as a dishonor. He really thought that he was Tang Daizong. Or did he think he was Tian Chengsi? Is there really nothing the court can do against him? Huang Qiong still remembers Zhang Bingyuan. The confidants of the King of Shu cooperated with the King of Shu to unite the army to put down the rebellion of King Duan in Ruzhou.
As a result, because he was the King of Shu's best friend, he cooperated with the King of Shu to do many things that he shouldn't have done, and even cooperated with the King of Shu to win over the elites of the four major battalions. So after the Ruzhou rebellion was settled, he was immediately kicked out of Fujian Road by the old man and became a deputy envoy with title but no power. The pseudo-emperor launched a rebellion, and the Fujian Lu Jiedushi, who was originally a rebel, was preempted by the pacification envoy to deal with it, but he failed to take advantage of the situation.
On the contrary, for unknown reasons, the rebel guards on Fujian Road were torn apart, forming several small and medium-sized forces that separated themselves from each other. However, although this man failed to control the guards of the various prefectures on Fujian Road, he took the opportunity to retreat to Zhangzhou Prefecture with a group of troops and horses. He killed the Zhangzhou soldiers and horse envoys who were separatist and self-reliant in Zhangzhou Prefecture, defeated the less than 1,000 guards of Quanzhou Prefecture, and forcibly controlled the two Zhangzhou and Quan Prefectures.
After this person took control of the Second Mansion of Zhangquan, he mobilized troops to expand his strength at all costs. He didn't even listen to the false emperor's greeting. After Yang Jiyuan entered Fujian, the several small separatist forces that were originally divided and fighting each other were defeated one after another. He also annexed the rebels who retreated to the Second Prefecture. As well as the rebels on Guangnan East Road who were defeated by Ouyang Shan and retreated into the Second Prefecture.
The general trend of recruiting surrenders and recruiting rebels not only did not weaken its own power, but actually further expanded its strength. I don't know what this guy's other abilities are, but he seems to have learned a bit about his master's methods. Presumably it was the rebel generals and rebels he recruited that made him think he had the power to fight against the imperial court. Therefore, after winning a battle, he became extremely crazy.
