That night, in Kunning Palace, Song Jiang took Xu Youzhu's little hand and sat on the bed, and said softly: "Today, my father wants me to make Ze'er the heir apparent in advance. What do you think?"
Xu Youzhu's expression changed and she quickly said: "Your Majesty, I have never had such an idea. This king is now in his prime and has no worries for a thousand years. There is no need to worry at all!!"
Song Jiang smiled and said, "Queen, don't be nervous. Even if the father didn't say anything, with Ze'er's eldest son's background, it's natural for him to become the heir apparent. In fact, after getting the news that you gave birth to Ze'er, the right minister also said that as a husband The reason why I didn’t give the order was not because I was worried that Ze’er wouldn’t be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility in the future, but because I was worried that there would be too much pressure on him.”
"Since ancient times, anyone who is established as a heir or crown prince at a young age must bear ten or even a hundred times more responsibilities than his peers. He must not fail to speak and be civilized and military. This is especially true if you have a father like me. , under long-term heavy pressure, the psychological pressure on children is too great, isn’t this the case for the Tang Dynasty prince Li Chengqian??”
Xu Youzhu's pupils shrank.
"So after careful consideration, I don't plan to confer the title now, but the eldest son must also have the treatment that the eldest son should have, so I decided to canonize Ze'er as the Duke of Liang, with a settlement of 3,000 households," Song Jiang said.
When Xu Youzhu heard this, he immediately saluted with emotion on his face and said, "I would like to thank the king for your kindness on behalf of Ze'er."
"Haha, for my own son, what can I say thank you for?" Song Jiang said warmly after giving him support: "In addition, when he enters school after he is five years old, Wen Yue and Shaoyang will be his teachers. They are not only outstanding in literary talent and resourceful, but also He has a very high level of understanding of the nature of the mind. If you want to achieve great things in the future, the mind is the first priority!!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"I'm going to Bianjing in a few days. You guys stay in Qi for now. When the situation there is completely stable, come back."
"yes!!"
. . . .
The next day, not long after Song Jiang got up, Wei Fang suddenly ran in anxiously, "Your Majesty, something happened to General Weihu."
Song Jiang was stunned and said seriously: "Who??"
"General Mighty Tiger"
"Since General Weihu broke an arm in the Battle of Jinan, the king couldn't bear that anything happened to him, so he stayed at Jingdong Mansion. How could something happen to him?" Xu Youzhu asked in surprise.
"It was said that after General Shi came back, he invited General Wei Hu to let the horses go yesterday. Unexpectedly, Cong Zhan fell down immediately and couldn't get up. The imperial doctor looked at it and said, it's possible. "
"Iron Bull" Song Jiang saw this scene and immediately rushed outside.
When Xu Youzhu saw it, he quickly turned around and said, "Quickly, let Sister Tan go there too. She has superb medical skills. Maybe there is a way!!"
"yes!!"
Soon after, outside an official residence in Jingdong Prefecture, when Song Jiang rode his horse down, Shi Xiu and several others were seen kneeling on the ground, saying with shame on their faces: "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
When Song Jiang saw it, he immediately rushed towards the mansion.
"Your Majesty!!" Soon, Li Kui's pregnant wife Zhang saluted with tears on her face after seeing Song Jiang's arrival in the inner bedroom.
"Brother, brother" at this time, a quick, low voice sounded.
When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately looked at Li Kui, who was lying on the couch with one arm stretched out with difficulty. He quickly ran over, looked at the pale face, held his arm and said, "Tieniu, brother is here, it's okay." of!!"
Looking at the arriving Song Jiang, Li Kui said with a hint of excitement: "Brother, I, Tieniu, probably won't survive this time."
"Nonsense, except for me to order you to be punished, who in this world can harm you, Black Tornado Li Kui!!"
When Li Kui heard this, he was even more reluctant to give up and said: "The most correct thing for me, Tieniu, in my life is to follow you, my brother. My brother is the reincarnation of the real dragon emperor, but, I, Tieniu, can't see my brother becoming the emperor. "
"If you can see it, you can definitely do it." Song Jiang said with tears in his eyes, then turned to look at the several imperial doctors beside him, and said angrily: "You bastard, what are you doing to feed you? Give me treatment immediately!!"
"The King" and the others knelt on the ground helplessly.
"Brother, brother, why can't I see anything?" Li Kui suddenly said with a hint of fear.
When Song Jiang heard this, he quickly said: "Tieniu, brother is here, it's okay, it's okay."
After Li Kui calmed down slightly, he suddenly held Song Jiang's hand tightly and said seriously: "Brother, the only thing I can't worry about now is the fetus in my wife's belly. This generation has killed too many people and done too much evil. I deserve this." Bad luck, but the child is innocent, please take good care of him, brother."
"Don't worry, your child is my child. My brother will knight him, knight him!!"
When Li Kui heard this, his whole body suddenly relaxed, and his eyes slowly closed together tiredly and weakly.
"Tieniu, Tieniu, Tieniu!!" After Song Jiang shouted in pain, Wu Yong and others who had just arrived outside the door suddenly trembled. Are they too late after all? ?
"master"
"Brothers Iron Bull!!"
Looking at the dead Li Kui, Song Jiang couldn't help but shed two lines of tears. Li Kui had indeed done too much killing in his life, but he was truly loyal to Song Jiang.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me," Wei Fang next to him sighed and comforted.
After seeing this, Song Jiang looked at the crying people, stood up slowly, and said sadly: "Tieniu is my savior, a contribution to Liangshan, and a fierce general of Daqi. He immediately sent an order to posthumously confer Li Kui as the Mighty Uncle, his descendants are hereditary, his wife Zhang is the second-grade imperial concubine, and his son will be born to him. After he is five years old, he will enter the palace and accompany Liang Guogong. The child will be a daughter, and he will be given the title of princess!!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang, who was crying, kowtowed gratefully with the support of her maid.
"Your Majesty, do you want to bury Mighty Uncle in Liangshan?"
"No, Tie Niu was a fierce general of Song Jiang, and he will follow him in death. He will be temporarily buried in Jingdong Mansion. After a hundred years, the king will move his coffin and bury him beside him." Song Jiang looked at the dead Li Kui and said seriously.
This is the only praise he can give to Li Kui for his loyalty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Mrs. Zhang said gratefully again. Since ancient times, those who can be buried with emperors in their mausoleums are all civilized and military men of the ages! !
. . .
That night, in the Martial Pavilion of the North Study Room, when Xu Youzhu walked in under the leadership of Wei Fang, he looked at Song Jiang who was looking at the grand plan of the world alone, and immediately walked up with some worry. After approaching, he pressed his hands on touched Song Jiang's shoulders.
"The Queen is here"
"Your Majesty, all my concubines have heard about it. It is Ze'er's blessing to have General Wei Hu's son follow Ze'er in the future. He will definitely be as loyal to the king as General Wei Hu and will always protect Ze'er!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he sighed: "To this day, many of the brothers who gathered in Liangshan back then have died. Their sacrifices have made me, Song Jiang, what I am today!!"
"Your Majesty, don't say that. Many things are actually fate. Your Majesty's kindness is very clear to the civil and military officials below. If Your Majesty is worried about them and tries his best to protect them, it will make them feel neglected!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he turned around and said: "I am going to Bianjing soon. Li Kui's mother was killed by an evil tiger, and his brother is not a decent person. Although I have given him a generous reward, it is still very hard for a woman named Zhang." , you should take more care of me when you have time!!"
"Your Majesty, please feel at ease."
"I just thought about it. If Mrs. Zhang gives birth to a son, I will name him Wenzhong. I hope that he will be more refined and peaceful like a scholar while his father's martial arts."
"Li Wenzhong" Xu Youzhu murmured curiously.
