At the border of Huguang, a cold wind was blowing in the air, and the sky was heavy. However, the Mo Dynasty army, which was fighting against the Qi army, was more tenacious and unyielding.
Bodies were lying everywhere, the sound of swords was everywhere, and there were shouts everywhere.
"Brothers! If you want to have a stable year, you have to beat me hard!"
"Fight it!"
"The court has many rewards!"
General Ji's words inspired the struggling brothers to take courage again.
Yanyang City, not far from the war, still looked calm and calm.
Emperor Mo Chao, who should have been concerned about this matter all the time, was in the Kunning Palace at the moment when he should be staying in the Fengyu Pavilion.
"Yuanhua, come, father, take a look." Emperor Dechang looked at his only son who was not far away with a smile on his face.
"Go quickly." The queen urged happily.
Yuan Hua put down the scroll in his hand and walked towards his father obediently.
"Father," Yuanhua shouted.
Looking at the only heir in front of him, the thirty-year-old Emperor Dechang was so happy for this son.
"Hey." After answering, Emperor Dechang hugged Yuanhua and said, "Yuanhua, what have you learned from your husband recently?"
"Father, sir, you are very strict. I have studied "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean" and several books." Yuan Hua said a little aggrievedly.
"That's it." Emperor Dechang smiled.
Seeing Yuan Hua's performance, the Queen's birth mother smiled happily: "Quick, read a few words to your father."
After listening to his mother's words, Yuanhua responded obediently: "Okay."
"If you are right to yourself and don't ask for others, you will have no resentment. You won't blame heaven above, and you won't blame others below. Therefore, a gentleman stays in a place to wait for his fate, and a villain takes risks to gain luck."
Listening to Yuan Hua reading this sentence, Emperor Dechang suddenly changed his appearance. He didn't say anything, as if he was in a daze.
Looking at the emperor's face, the considerate queen looked at Yuanhua: "Don't miss it anymore."
After Yuanhua stopped, the queen looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "
After a few words, the emperor came back to his senses and looked at the queen and Yuan Hua with a blank expression.
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" the queen pretended not to know.
"I didn't think about it. I have been very concerned about the war recently. Maybe I am tired. After so many days, there is still no news from the Huguang area." The emperor lied.
"Since the Emperor is tired, let's go back and have a rest. Although state affairs are important, your body is the most important," the Queen said.
Emperor Dechang sighed and looked at the young and beautiful queen with a smile: "It's okay. Besides, there are still two prime ministers to take care of state affairs."
Seeing the sky outside the house getting darker and darker, the queen smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late now, why don't you rest here tonight."
After listening to the Queen's words, Emperor Dechang looked happily at Li Zi, his personal eunuch.
I saw the eunuch Li Zi also smiling quietly. . .
In the night, Emperor Dechang was lying on the couch, thinking deeply and sighing, but he woke up the queen who was still asleep beside him.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, do you still have something to let go of?" The queen put a hand on Emperor Dechang's shoulder.
"When the late emperor was alive, he always hoped that there would be no war in the country, that the people would be stable, and that the palace would be well fed and clothed. Now that I have been in power and have been the emperor for eight years, wars have occurred frequently. I don't know if it is because of me or something else. ah?"
"Your Majesty, you have done a good enough job. Of course it is not your fault. My father often helps the Emperor in the court. This is the ambition of Qi State, and he just attacked our Mo Dynasty."
"Yes. When the late emperor was still alive, he once asked me to act in accordance with the words of the two prime ministers Huang Zhiyuan and Li Huixuan. However, in this dynasty, the two of them did not say anything about many things. Your father was often the first to bear the brunt and take the place of others. I relieve your worries. Apart from your father, I believe that not many people can believe.”
"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, please rest. There are state affairs waiting for you tomorrow."
After listening to the queen's words, the emperor just lay down and closed his eyes, unconsciously falling into a dream.
I thought it was a good dream, but unexpectedly I had a nightmare.
In the nightmare, I saw my only son Chen Yuanhua being discriminated against and murdered by his teacher. I also dreamed about Yuanhua's crying, which was so miserable.
Suddenly, the emperor woke up and sat up on the bed, his face was frightened and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Your Majesty." The queen also woke up.
Looking at the panicked face of the emperor, the queen asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?"
Seeing that the sky was getting bright outside, the emperor got down and said, "No problem." After saying that, he picked up the dragon robe and tried to put it on.
After seeing this, the queen got up in a hurry. Before she could change her own clothes, she changed the emperor's clothes first: "Your Majesty, I will help you change your clothes."
While changing clothes, Queen Su Wanyue's white, tender and kind-hearted face emerged. She looked better and better, and the emperor was in a better mood unconsciously.
"I have political affairs to attend to, so I went first."
"Go." The queen smiled and watched the emperor leave.
Just in the early morning today, the fighting far away in Huguang has ceased. Hundreds of enemy troops have fled. The Mo Dynasty army has guarded several cities on the edge of Huguang.
However, the capital city, which was still far away from the battlefield, did not yet know about the victory.
"How is the border war going today?" Emperor Dechang asked.
"Reporting to your Majesty, there has been no news today, but the winner should be determined in a few days," the governor said.
"Then according to your opinion, is this battle winnable or unwinnable?"
"This..." The Grand Governor glanced at Gui Yuanwei, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and then replied: "Reporting to the Emperor, Emperor Mo is very concerned about the people's misfortune. I believe that this battle will be won!"
Seeing the Governor's confident words, the emperor smiled slightly, and then put on a sad face again.
Finally, the emperor finally spoke: "My beloved lords, I have been in office for eight years. Now Yuanhua is six years old. It is time to establish a crown prince. What do you think, dear lords?"
After hearing this, several officials below looked at each other and talked in low voices, but they did not dare to speak out.
Finally, an impatient official spoke out, it was Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites.
"Your Majesty! You are only 30 years old now, and Kaihuai is only seven years old now. Isn't this... a bit against the rules?" Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, said boldly.
After listening to Ding Liu's words, Emperor Dechang was very unhappy. Fortunately, some officials agreed with this view.
"Why is it against the rules? The crown prince must be established sooner or later. Now there is only one dragon heir in the harem, Yuan Hua. The crown prince's position will be his sooner or later. If he is established early or late, he will be established. Why should he care about the time?" Shangshu of the Ministry of War Guiyuan Wei Road.
Seeing Su Yunqi helping him so much, Emperor Dechang felt some comfort in his heart.
The officials below listened to what Shangshu Gui said, looked at the two prime ministers without objection, and then looked at the emperor's face. No official dared to disagree.
"Okay, then it's settled." The emperor smiled broadly.
