Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 326 Returning to Chang'an City and Paying Tribute to Du Ruhui
After confirming that Du Miaoyan is pregnant, Fang Yuan has no mood to stay in Liaozhou.

The matter in Liaozhou is almost done, and Zhao Yingcai, Lu Xia and Qin Liangcai have been handed over what needs to be done.

"Uncle Zhao, everyone, there is no need to send it off, we will meet again when we have time."

Fang Yuan thanked Zhao Yingcai's family for their farewell.

He didn't tell anyone else, and was about to leave secretly.

But now Fang Yuan's identity is not what it used to be, with countless people staring at him, it is impossible to sneak away.

So as soon as the carriage left Fang's mansion, people began to appear, wanting to send Fang Yuan away.

Fang Yuan felt helpless about this, but he could only be polite.

Finally, after saying goodbye to everyone, Fang Yuan and others started to return to the city.

Not counting the journey this time, Fang Yuan and others have already stayed in Liaozhou for three days.

Inside the carriage.

Du Miaoyan snuggled into Fang Yuan's arms.

She put her jade hands on her stomach, and she looked a little strange.

Although I have always wanted to have a child, after I actually got pregnant, it still felt unreal.

"Husband, do you think he is a man or a woman?"

Du Miaoyan said in a daze.

"Male."

Fang Yuan thought for a while and said.

"why?"

"Don't you like girls?"

Du Miaoyan asked puzzledly.

"like it all."

"But didn't that old Taoist say that he was blessed with a son?"

Fang Yuan's eyes were shocked.

It's amazing that he even figured out that he has a child.

Since it can be calculated that she has a child, and congratulations on her precious son, then Du Miaoyan should be pregnant with a boy.

"Yes."

"If you don't tell me, I forgot."

"It's amazing, I want to see him again."

Only then did Du Miaoyan wake up.

Indeed, the little boy was talking about the happy son.

Then the child she is carrying is likely to be a son.

Son is good.

The first one is the son, and the position of the eldest son is stable.

Even if Fang Yuan had a child with Princess Xiangcheng or Su Ziqing, there is nothing to compete with his own child.

Du Miaoyan has already accepted that Fang Yuan and Princess Xiangcheng have an affair, and has already tacitly agreed to the relationship between the two of them.

Now that she is pregnant, she must not continue to follow Fang Yuan's wishes, she has to find several concubines or women for Fang Yuan.

Naturally, the latter is better, as there is no need to bring a woman home to compete with him for favor.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a long time.

Because Du Miaoyan was pregnant, the schedule slowed down a lot.

After walking for three days, I finally returned to Chang'an City.

As soon as he entered Fangfu, he saw Du He and others waiting.

Not only them, but even Juzi, Princess Xiangcheng, Changsun Chong, Qin Huaiyu and others were there.

"Why are there so many people?"

Fang Yuan was surprised.

Du Miaoyan was also puzzled.

"I missed it. They knew you were pregnant, so they all came over."

Mrs. Du walked towards Du Miaoyan first, held Du Miaoyan's hand and said softly.

When she learned that her daughter was pregnant, she was very happy, but also very sad.

The happy thing is that if the daughter gives birth to a son, the position of the mistress of the Fang Mansion will be stable in the future.

The sad thing is that after his daughter becomes pregnant, Fang Yuan will very likely take a concubine and marry a new woman.

This is a common problem of men, all dignitaries are like this, Mrs. Du herself can look after Du Ruhui, but she can't look at Fang Yuan, and there is no reason to look at Fang Yuan.

"Miao Yan, Fang Yuan, congratulations."

Princess Xiangcheng and others came over and congratulated.

After being married to Fang Yuan for so long, she is finally pregnant and her position is stable, she is happy for Du Miaoyan.

"thank you all."

"I'm very happy."

Du Miaoyan's eye sockets were a little moist.

She was very happy to see so many people blessing her.

The mood of worrying about gain and loss in the past few days disappeared in an instant.

"Miao Yan, go see your father when you have time, he will be happy if he knows."

Madam Du said with emotion.

Du Ruhui left early, otherwise he would have known that his daughter was pregnant and might have given birth to a son.

Thinking of Du Ruhui, Mrs. Du couldn't help but start to feel sad, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Mom, I will."

Du Miaoyan couldn't help being sad too.

Holding Madam Du in his arms, he was ready to cry.

"Wait, pregnant women are not easy to fluctuate too much."

"Mrs. Fang, can I ask the old man to take your pulse?"

Sun Simiao came from outside.

He also learned that Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan came back today.

And because Fang Yuan was not around during this period, the human body he needed was not delivered, so he did not go to the Mohist Academy.

Coincidentally, when he heard that Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan had returned, he came over to have a look, and when he saw Du Miaoyan was about to cry, he immediately stopped him.

"Doctor Sun, please!"

Fang Yuan quickly invited Sun Simiao to feel Fang Yuan's pulse.

Du Miaoyan also quickly stopped crying, not to have too much mood swings.

Mrs. Du was also affected, so she quickly wiped away her tears for fear of affecting Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan adjusted her mood and sat down.

Sun Simiao sat on the other side, feeling Du Miaoyan's pulse.

Fang Yuan's heart couldn't help but tense up, worrying that it was an empty joy.

Although it was confirmed and confirmed in Liaozhou, Fang Yuan was still in a trance.

The same is true for Du Miaoyan, although she adjusted her mentality, she still slowly became nervous.

"The fetus is healthy and everything is normal."

"However, you still have to pay attention to your emotions, and you should not fluctuate too much during pregnancy."

"And try not to use force. If you can bear it, bear it. If you can't bear it, ask the old man for his pulse afterwards."

Sun Simiao quickly withdrew his hand.

A few more suggestions were given.

I hope Du Miaoyan can give birth to a child smoothly.

"Thank you, Doctor Sun."

Both Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan heaved a sigh of relief.

It's true, after Sun Simiao's inspection, there is no need to worry.

Later, Fang Yuan invited everyone to have dinner and drink some wine.

The next day.

Du Miaoyan proposed to pay homage to Du Ruhui.

Fang Yuan naturally has no objection to this.

After all, he is married to someone else's daughter, and the daughter is pregnant, so it is also appropriate to go to pay homage.

Moreover, Du Ruhui was very kind to him during his lifetime and helped him a lot.

The memorial ceremony was organized by Du He, and Mrs. Du and Du Miaoyan comforted Du Ruhui.

Although Sun Simiao told her not to fluctuate too much, Du Miaoyan couldn't help crying.

Fang Yuan looked at Du Ruhui's tombstone and sighed.

How great would it be if Du Ruhui was still there?
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The memorial ceremony was relatively grand, and it took a long time before it ended.

Before they sat down with Du Miaoyan back to Fang Mansion, the imperial palace's order came.

"Fang Shilang, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Wang De said slightly flatteringly.

"My lord, why is your Majesty summoned?"

Fang Yuan stuffed several hundred yuan bills to Wang De.

"It should be about the Qianzhuang."

"Judging from His Majesty's expression, he seems to be in a good mood."

Wang De took Fang Yuan's money slipperily and stuffed it into his bosom.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang."

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

After talking to Du Miaoyan, he followed Wang De into the palace and soon saw Li Shimin in the imperial study.

"Fang Yuan, in Chang'an City, it is difficult for me to face the five surnames and Qiwang, but you went to Liaozhou to play?"

Li Shimin said with a half-smile.

He stared at Fang Yuan unkindly.

Wang De on the side shrank his neck and stepped aside.

I thought the emperor was in a good mood, but it seems that I guessed wrong.

"Your Majesty, I didn't go to Liaozhou for fun."

"Now the implementation of banknotes will start from Liaozhou!"

Fang Yuan laughed.

With a child, he is in a good mood.

Faced with Li Shimin's accusation, Fang Yuan was not angry at all.

"how?"

"How's the development going?"

Li Shimin's anger immediately disappeared a lot.

He wasn't really angry just now, it was just to scare Fang Yuan.

He actually knew about Liaozhou, but not much.

Now hearing what Fang Yuan said, he immediately became interested, wanting to hear Fang Yuan continue.

"It's developing very well."

"If there are no accidents, Liaozhou will become our base camp, and future counterattacks will start from Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan laughed.

This trip to Liaozhou, Fang Yuan saw his own prestige in Liaozhou.

It can be said that in Liaozhou, the Qixing banknotes with five surnames and Qiwang cannot be circulated in it.

Through Liaozhou, Huaxia Bank can slowly annex the market in Hedong Road, and slowly suppress the Seven Star banknotes.

The Seven Star Notes stared at the entire Great Tang, while Fang Yuan stared at two places, the competition between them can be imagined.

Guannei Road and Hedong Road will be controlled by Huaxia Bank.

"it is good!"

"Are you only focusing on Guannei Road and Hedong Road now?"

Li Shimin also saw Fang Yuan's thoughts.

So I summoned Fang Yuan and wanted to confirm it from Fang Yuan.

"Yes."

"We don't have enough banknotes, and some people don't want to do anything, so we can only focus on these two places first."

Fang Yuan nodded heavily, then glanced at Li Shimin.

"I heard that Miaoyan is pregnant?"

Li Shimin coughed dryly, as if he didn't understand Fang Yuan's words, he changed the subject.

He wanted to turn against Wu Xing Qiwang, but it was really not the time, not yet.

Now there are still many places in the Tang Dynasty that are full of waste, and there is still a rebellion in Hebei.

If the five surnames and Qiwang are torn apart, it will only cause more turmoil in Datang.

Presumably Wu Xing Qiwang also knew this, so he chose to do it at this time.

"Yes, Your Majesty also knows?"

Fang Yuan didn't complain about Li Shimin anymore.

When mentioning the child, Fang Yuan's resentment disappeared immediately.

"I heard from Xiangcheng."

"Congratulations, you finally have an heir."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

Immediately, the eunuch at the side walked out, holding an exquisite box in both hands.

"Your Majesty, is this?"

Fang Yuan took it, but did not open it.

"A gift for a child, not for you."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan opened the box for a look, then closed it again immediately.

It's a good thing, Li Shimin is generous.

"Since you're all here, let me chat with you about the war in Hebei."

"Li Ke has already started the battle, and the battle is going smoothly, but it's so smooth that I'm surprised."

"Especially yesterday, bad people sent news that some villages were found to be inexplicably dead."

Li Shimin's expression became serious.

All the courtiers knew that the battle was going well, even Fang Yuan knew about it.

But the inexplicable death in the village is still a secret, and only Li Shimin knows about it.

In this regard, Li Shimin felt unusual and not simple.

"Your Majesty is suspicious. Someone used the war to harm the people, and thus put the blame on the army of the King of Shu?"

Fang Yuan frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said in shock.

In order for the imperial court to conquer Hebei, in addition to using strong means, it also had to implement a benevolent government.

But if the death of the villagers is blamed on Li Ke's army, then the rebellion in Hebei will be even stronger.

At that time, it may not be so easy for the imperial court to conquer Hebei.

"You also have such doubts?"

Li Shimin suddenly said in shock.

When he received the news, he also had such doubts.

At that time, I wondered if I was too sensitive, so I didn't ask Fang Xuanling and the others to discuss it immediately.

Now tell Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan immediately thought of the same thing as himself, does that mean there is such a possibility?

"I also suspect that the rebellion in Hebei is related to the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

As soon as there was a rebellion in Hebei, the five surnames and Qiwang immediately set fire to the Huaxia Bank, thus laying out the world.

They obviously came prepared.

But there was no evidence, and Li Shimin didn't want to tear himself apart with them, so that was the only way to go.

"It seems that my suspicion has come together."

"But even if there are doubts, I can't take action against them yet."

Li Shimin sighed.

Even if Fang Yuan invented the firecracker, with the support of a large number of firecrackers, he still can't take action against the five surnames and seven wangs.

The strength of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs is not only the strength of the clan soldiers, but also the economy, culture, control and other aspects.

If you break your face with them, many places in the world will be in chaos, which is very cruel to Datang.

Datang's current army can quell the chaos of the five surnames and seven kings, but the consequences are too great.

"Your Majesty, stability is the most important thing to you."

"For me, nothing can be broken."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

This is his opinion.

"You are not the emperor, you don't understand."

"If I break my face with the five surnames and Qiwang, the people in the world will suffer."

"Prospering the people is suffering, dying the people is suffering, Fang Yuan, can you understand this sentence?"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

His eyes were full of grief and compassion for the world.

It is easy to break the skin with the five surnames and seven, but it is not easy to calm down the chaos.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and I don't know how many people died.

Datang has recuperated for so many years, but he has not recovered yet.

Once the five surnames and Qiwang are torn apart, the consequences will be more serious than those at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

"Perhaps His Majesty is right."

Fang Yuan was silent for a long time before speaking.

Li Shimin was also right, he took it for granted.

As a qualified emperor, balance is the most important thing.

The one who truly puts the people of the world in his heart is the real emperor through the ages.

At this moment, Fang Yuan felt that Li Shimin was really a good emperor.

"You bastard!"

"If you dare to say that, get out."

Li Shimin laughed angrily, waved his hand and said.

Perhaps His Majesty is right?
I'm always right, okay?
That is, Fang Yuan dared to speak like this.

Others may have punished him themselves.

"I retire!"

Fang Yuan smiled, bowed to Li Shimin and stepped back.

After retreating, Fang Yuan did not go home immediately, but went to the household department.

After leaving for such a long time, the official business may have piled up like a mountain, and I have to go back to deal with it.

As soon as he returned, Fang Qingping and his colleagues came one after another, congratulating Fang Yuan on his upcoming heir.

For this, Fang Yuan thanked them one by one.

Time flickered to the afternoon, Fang Yuan stretched himself.

Looking at the sky, it was almost time to get off work, so Fang Yuan got off work.

But as soon as he reached the Vermilion Bird Gate, Eunuch Wang De rushed to catch up with Fang Yuan.

"Fang Shilang, Fang Shilang, I finally found you."

"Hurry up, follow the villain to the imperial study, His Majesty has urgent matters!"

Wang De gasped and said.

Without explaining to Fang Yuan, he took Fang Yuan's hand and rushed to the imperial study room.
