The remaining gloom in Emperor Changxing's eyes was swept away, and he said cheerfully: "That's exactly it! So, Father, if you want to get rid of these people, then do it."

The Supreme Emperor turned around and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Simply call them all over!"

The eldest eunuch looked embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it's getting late now. I'm afraid the concubines have gone to bed long ago."

"Yes," the Supreme Emperor patted his head, "Then why haven't I slept yet?" He blinked and looked at Emperor Changxing and Empress Cui sitting next to him, "When did you come here? Have you had dinner? ?”

A trace of sadness flashed in Emperor Changxing's eyes, and he quickly changed to a gentle smile: "Not yet, I am about to eat with my father."

Then he ordered someone to bring up the food box prepared by Queen Cui.

Because it was getting late, Queen Cui had prepared some light meals, so the eunuch didn't stop her.

After a simple meal, Emperor Changxing ordered someone to send Empress Cui back and told her to rest early, and then he mentioned the matter of the Western Region to the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor frowned and said, "In matters of territory, size does not matter! If you give in an inch, Xirong will advance a foot."

"What is lost is the territory, and even more so the integrity of the Great Zhou Dynasty. An incomplete territory is the humiliation of being an emperor!

"You are not only disgraceful to your ancestors, but also to all the people in the world!
“For the people living on the western border, no matter how bad it is, it is still their homeland.

"If you can easily give up your homeland, what else can't you give up?"

Emperor Changxing was immediately enlightened. He stood up and bowed deeply to the Supreme Emperor. "Thank you very much, Father, for reminding me. I almost caused a disaster!"

The Supreme Emperor stretched out his hand to help him get up, and suddenly asked: "Why did you come here at this hour? Political affairs cannot be dealt with at any time, so you should take care of yourself.

"Besides, don't neglect the queen. It's time for you to have a legitimate son. If you don't go to her, will the prince fall from the sky?"

Emperor Changxing did not argue, and just followed him and said: "Yes, you are saying that my son is going to the queen."

"Go, go," the Supreme Emperor yawned, "I'm tired, and I'm just about to go to bed."

Emperor Changxing walked out and heard the Supreme Emperor's order: "Remember to remind me tomorrow not to let the emperor neglect the queen. If the queen gave birth to a legitimate son earlier... Well, it's better to have more, and there is no need to keep so many in the harem. Many women.

"If there are more women, there will be more disputes. It's too troublesome!"

Emperor Changxing smiled slightly and strode away.

Two days later, the imperial edict assigned Rong An to guard the Western Territory came down.

Rong An immediately ran to the palace to negotiate terms with Emperor Changxing. He wanted to take his family with him, "Your Majesty, I am not young now, and now I am still empty. I don't know when I will come back after I leave. Our Rong family has heirs." It’s so thin, please give me your permission!”

Emperor Changxing had already considered this matter, but he still deliberately said: "You should have some idea of ​​how hard it is over there in the Western Region. My sister-in-law is a delicate Jiangnan girl, how can she endure such hardship?"

"Your Majesty," Rong An said with a bit of pride on his face, "Husband and wife are one! A Yin has long said that she will follow the future minister wherever he goes.

"Besides, if I can't give my wife and children a relatively stable home, wouldn't I be too incompetent!
"But, since the Western Territory is barren, this food payment cannot be delayed. Do you have to consider allocating some food and grass to me first?

"'The soldiers and horses must go ahead before the food and grass are used'!"
