After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Rong An shook his head slightly, "He has no intention of giving up the border people. He wants to move the border people to the interior."

"We can't give up even an inch of territory!" Chu Yin frowned, "If we abandon three hundred miles of the western territory today, the Xirong will usurp three hundred miles.

"Now that we have these three hundred miles, we are looking forward to another three hundred miles.

“We have set a precedent for giving in, but what will happen next?
"Although the Western Territory is barren and the environment is difficult, we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, can also rely on natural barriers to resist the enemy. If we lose the barrier, wouldn't we give up the opportunity to others?"

"Look," Rong An spread his hands, "You, a person who has never been involved in political affairs, can understand this truth, but he is confused!"

Chu Yin hesitated and said: "He... must be just confused for a moment, right? Even if he had such an idea, the courtiers would not agree!"

"Well," Rong An sighed slightly, "If it doesn't work, I will invite myself to the Western Region... but this should not happen."

in the palace.

Emperor Changxing sent away several ministers and left the imperial study. When he came out, he met Empress Cui.

The palace servants behind Queen Cui also held several large and small food boxes in their hands.

When she saw Emperor Changxing, Empress Cui hurriedly came over to salute, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I shouldn't disturb you, but I heard that the Emperor hasn't eaten much all day, and I'm really worried..."

Emperor Changxing forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. I'm not hungry."

"You should eat a little if you're not hungry," Queen Cui thought for a moment and said, "How about your Majesty go and sit with the Supreme Emperor and have a midnight snack with the Supreme Emperor?"

Emperor Changxing nodded slightly, "Okay."

The emperor is ready to sleep.

Last month, Emperor Changxing granted several of his younger brothers the title of king. Except for the original second prince, who was granted the title of Prince of Qi and sent to the fiefdom, the rest opened mansions in Beijing, and their biological mothers also followed.

The Shoukang Palace suddenly became deserted, with only a few low-ranking concubines who had nothing to do.

It's just that they were not favored in the first place, and now the Emperor rarely summons them. They just sit in their own rooms doing needlework every day, waiting to die of old age in the palace.

When he learned that the emperor and the queen were coming hand in hand, the emperor ordered someone to put on the clothes he had just taken off and went outside to see his son and daughter-in-law.

Before Emperor Changxing could explain his intention, the Supreme Emperor rushed to say: "While I am still awake, I want to tell you something.

"It's enough for me to have a few old people around me to serve me now.

"It would be a pity for those... young ones to die trapped in the palace.

“There’s no hope of getting married again, but it’s still possible to have your family take you out and take care of yourself in old age.

"What do you think?"

Emperor Changxing hesitated and said: "Father, there are not many people serving you here. Women should be more careful. These concubines..."

"That's all," the Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "Seeing them like that every day makes me feel uncomfortable, so I might as well let them out."

Emperor Changxing looked at Empress Cui subconsciously.

A smile appeared on Queen Cui's lips: "Your Majesty, I have a happy event to tell you and my father. I..." She touched her flat belly, "I am more than a month pregnant. "

The Emperor was very surprised: "This is a good thing, this is a good thing! It should be rewarded! It should be rewarded! Come on, bring me the pair of jade Ruyi from my private treasury!"

Empress Cui quickly stood up to thank her, and then said: "My son is thinking that whether he has a little prince or a little princess in the future, he can come to accompany his father."
