In March of the second year of Qianyou, there were no major events inside or outside.
For the Han Emperor Liu Chengyou, good things came one after another. First, the imperial concubine Gao was found to be pregnant, and a few days later, the queen was also pregnant. If you don’t get pregnant, it’s already over. If you get pregnant, you’ll get pregnant twice, and you’ll get pregnant twice.
"Welcome to the official family!" In the Kunming Hall, Liu Chengyou had just crossed the threshold when the queen's big talisman bowed down, her movements very light and cautious.
Liu Chengyou naturally stretched out his hand to help, took the tender hand of Da Fu, and said like stroking soft jade: "No courtesy!"
Da Fu Yarong was filled with joy. It was a smile that came from the heart and was very contagious. It even made Liu Chengyou feel better.
"Erlang!" The couple sat together, and Dafu habitually changed his name to a friendly one.
"Has the heartache ever gone away?" Liu Chengyou always liked to play with the big talisman's hand, holding it gently and asking jokingly.
Faced with Liu Chengyou's rare teasing, Da Fu's bright eyes were full of excitement, and he admitted openly with a pleasant look: "To be honest, most of them are gone!"
"Oh? There's only half of it left. What did you do?" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows and asked.
Da Fu lowered his voice slightly and replied calmly: "If I can give Erlang a prince, my heart problems will be gone!"
On the contrary, Liu Chengyou was stunned and stared at his queen. Dafu also looked at her calmly. After looking at each other for a while, Liu Chengyou smiled: "Then give me a son!"
Seeing this, Da Fu immediately and tactfully asked, "This is an official's house. Can you give me an edict?"
Liu Chengyou was in a happier mood and responded: "Even so!"
She has been married to Liu Chengyou for more than a year, and has been favored all the way from Crown Princess to Queen, but the issue of heirs has indeed become a concern for Da Fu. As the perfect match for the Son of Heaven, her mother respects the world, but she has no children under her knees, and she always feels helpless.
Although the situation of the imperial concubine Gao is more "serious" than hers, after all, she is remarried and has never been pregnant. There had long been rumors in the palace that the imperial concubine was ill and unable to have children, but this made Mrs. Gao so angry that she punished several palace attendants for spreading rumors.
Although Da Fu and Gao were competing for favor, they never meant to make an issue out of it. After all, she was also deeply troubled by this matter. I went to see the imperial doctor, but he couldn't find anything wrong, and I didn't dare to blame Liu Chengyou for the problem. After all, he could give birth to the eldest prince...
Although I don’t do things in Dunlon very often, I always have a good time once or twice a month, and my health is normal. For a long time, Da Fu has been deeply anxious, even more so than the imperial concubine. Until Gao became pregnant, although she forced a smile on her face, she was actually almost depressed.
Fortunately, it was probably Liu Chengyou's side that "exploded", and she also got a taste of the king's dew and became pregnant.
The empress and concubine were pregnant one after another, which was a happy event for the emperor and the court. The news spread and the whole court congratulated them. For a big man, this is a good sign. Regardless of what happened outside the court, within the inner court, everyone from top to bottom happily congratulated Liu Chengyou. Unfortunately, apart from opening his mouth, Liu Chengyou did not express any other expression...
"What's the matter with Duke Zhe here?" Liu Chengyou asked, looking at Zhe Congruan who was standing respectfully in front of the emperor.
After a few months of comfortable living in Tokyo, Zhe Congruan's skin seems to have improved a lot. Facing Liu Chengyou's inquiring gaze, he bowed slightly and said in greeting: "Your Majesty, since I came to the DPRK on the winter solstice last year, and now it is about to enter summer, I, my grandfather and my grandson have been staying in Tokyo for nearly half a year. They have been in town for a long time, so I came here specially. Please resign."
Liu Zhu and Guo Jin couldn't wait to return to the Zhujie town where they came to Beijing to spend the winter. Li Yin and Wang Jing also left one after another after Liu Zhiyuan was buried. Murong Yanchao is still in detention, and now only Zhe Congruan is left.
Listening to his words and looking at his face, Liu Chengyou himself was embarrassed to say anything to persuade him to stay. This old general gave him a lot of face as the emperor.
There was no answer for a moment, Liu Chengyou thought calmly, Zhe Congruan was not in a hurry, and waited peacefully.
After taking a few breaths, Liu Chengyou asked: "Do you want to return north to Fuzhou?"
The emperor's question was a bit unnecessary. Zhe Congruan observed his expression and his old eyes moved slightly: "Yes!"
Liu Chengyou pondered again, seeming to be thinking about something, and raised his head and said: "Zhe Gong has the ability to organize the government and calm the people. Now no one from the Taining army has left the town. They are scattered. The army has been abandoned and the government has been idle. I have been thinking about the people who left the town recently. I have no idea. Excellent talent. Hmm... I would like to take the opportunity to serve as the governor of the Taining Army and go to Yunzhou to guard the territory and bring peace to the people! What do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhe Congruan couldn't help but take a deep breath. He was really surprised. Without thinking, he bowed: "Thank you for your kindness. I don't know where Fuzhou is?"
This old general is also real. After Liu Chengyou sent the order, of course he had some considerations and said directly: "I will appoint Zhe Qing Zide as the defense envoy of Fuzhou and be responsible for the military and political affairs of Fuzhou!"
Liu Chengyou's grace is already very profound. He has one discipline and two envoys. At least on the surface, today's Han Dynasty has few equals.
Zhe Congruan has always been humble, but when faced with this kind of kindness, he did not show any joy. On the contrary, he looked more solemn and bowed respectfully. Before leaving, he gave Liu Chengyou another look.
Murong Yanchao was originally in charge of the Taining Army. The situation in Yunzhou was much better than that in Xuzhou, but not much better. Murong Yanchao loved money, but he was not as cruel as Liu Xin. He punished indiscriminately and paid attention to his appearance. His methods of amassing money were infinitely better than Liu Xin's, so the public resentment in Yunzhou was not as serious as that in Xuzhou.
However, this is only relatively speaking. When he was in Xuzhou, Murong Yanchao was deprived of his official position by Liu Chengyou for disobeying the emperor and was banned from home. Until now, Liu Chengyou had no intention of letting him go out to seek rule.
Speaking of Murong Yanchao, he was indeed much smarter and more aware of current affairs than Liu Xin. If Liu Xin was treated like this, he would definitely curse and be full of resentment due to his arrogance. In fact, this is also the case. According to the Ruiling Guardian Newspaper, Liu Xin, who had become a commoner, often expressed resentment while guarding the mausoleum.
As for Murong Yanchao, after returning to Beijing, he honestly stayed at home and closed his door.
As for sending Zhe from Ruan to Yunzhou, it was of course a temporary consideration.
He thought seriously again, as if he was wondering whether there was something wrong with such an arrangement. Soon, Liu Chengyou regained his calm expression and told Zhang Dejun: "Write a Zhongshu and appoint Zhe Congruan as the governor of the Taining Army. make!"
"I am preparing an edict from the Academy of Academic Affairs to confer the title of Zhe, the granddaughter of Mr. Zhe, as a virtuous concubine! Go to the Zhe Mansion in person to deliver the edict!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dejun responded, with joy in his tone, as if he was happy for the emperor.
On Liu Chengyou's side, things are really happy.
Speaking of which, the little lady from the Ori family has been waiting in Tokyo for a long time, so it's time to give her a reply and explanation. After all, Liu Chengyou himself was a little embarrassed because of the reminder in his eyes when he was advancing and retreating from Ruan Jin just now. In fact, Liu Chengyou guessed that it was only secondary to follow Ruan's request to leave the capital, and that reminding Liu Chengyou of his granddaughter's problem was the main thing.
After entering summer, an auspicious day was selected, and Liu Chengyou formally accepted his family into the palace with simple etiquette.
