Chapter 112
However, the military system is not something that Zhang Hu can decide, nor is it something that Qingque can decide. The two are relatively embarrassed.

"Qing Que, I'm worried about you." Zhang Hu said in a deep voice, "Empress Zhang is narrow-minded, and Your Majesty is not in good health. If there is something wrong with Your Majesty, she will be the Empress Dowager, and it will definitely be bad for you."

Empress Zhang used Shen He and Xun Shi, but she was still very secretive and reserved at that time, and she would not show her face.When it came time to send Afeng and Arun to the Prince Liao's mansion, it was obvious that they would have trouble with Qing Que.A while ago, on a whim, Deng Qi went to Liaodong to visit Xiao Congcong and Xiao Mingming, and was recalled by Feishu in the capital not long after he arrived. There was a shortage of people in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so Deng Qi was urgently ordered to return to Beijing to take up his post.

None of these would deal a big blow to Qing Que, but Empress Zhang's unfriendliness was clearly placed here and could not be ignored.It's good that she is a queen, at least she is restrained by the emperor.What if she becomes the Empress Dowager?That's hard to say.

"No wonder she doesn't like me." Qing Que smiled nonchalantly, "Since Emperor Yong Le, feudal lords have been strictly controlled. Only when it comes to me, as a concubine and also a general, can she not worry about it?" Is it? However, the harem is the harem, and the court is the court, Brother Hu doesn't have to worry about it."

The prohibition of "no political interference in the harem" also applies to the empress dowager.Even if Empress Zhang became Empress Dowager Zhang, she couldn't act recklessly, she had to be subject to many constraints.

Zhang Hu was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Qingque, no matter what, I will always be by your side."

Qing Que, who is already the mother of two sons, smiled and walked around a few times with an intoxicated expression, "I'm so tender, Grandpa and Brother Hu have treated me so well!"

Qing Que had only turned around a few times when she suddenly felt dizzy and stopped slowly, "Brother Hu, I'm dizzy." Zhang Hu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "Why are you dizzy? Are you turning too fast? "Zhang Hu panicked, Qing Que has always been in good health, what's wrong?
Zhang Hu helped Qing Que to sit on the chair, Qing Que rested for a while, and smiled, "Brother Hu, I'm fine." Zhang Hu was finally worried, so he made a special trip to tell A Yuan, "Qing Que just circled around a few times and I'm fine." Feeling dizzy, shouldn't be."

A Yuan smiled slightly, "Brother Hu, I can probably guess why." Zhang Hu couldn't help frowning slightly seeing that he was not panicked, but that there was joy in his expression.

After the doctor showed Qing Que, he smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations, Your Highness and Concubine, we are about to import someone again." It turned out that Qing Que was pregnant again.

Hefu is happy.

In the Forbidden City, Queen Zhang was also very happy, she was pregnant again!After Awei's death, she was disheartened, but it was unexpected that she would be pregnant again.Empress Zhang excitedly made countless wishes in front of God: Let me give birth to a prince, let my prince grow up safely, and be like his father, a generation of Mingjun!
The emperor was also very happy, and treated Empress Zhang like pearls and treasures.The emperor often stroked Empress Zhang's growing belly, and the two looked forward to the child who was about to be born together.

Conceived in October, when the fruits are ripe, Queen Zhang gave birth to a pink and tender little princess. "How could it be a princess? What use is a princess to me?" Queen Zhang was deeply disappointed when she knew that the baby was a girl.The emperor gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and he loved the little girl very much, "This is my Princess Taikang." The emperor was very satisfied, A Yuan, you don't have a daughter yet, your brother has one first.

When Princess Taikang was born, there was a fierce battle in Guangning City on the border.Zhenren Zhuli attacked the city on a large scale, and Zhang Hu led his troops to resist. The deputy commander of Liaoyang and the commander of the Liaodong capital also sent reinforcements to fight against the enemy together.The king of Liao personally went to the top of the city to supervise the battle. As soon as he stood there, the morale of the soldiers defending the city increased greatly.

Qing Que's stomach has not moved for a long time when it's time to give birth, it's a bit impatient.There was a burst of shouting and killing at the gate of the city, and Qing Que couldn't sit still.

Entrusting the two children to the care of Mr. Zu, Qing Que quietly put on his armor and sneaked out of the Liao Palace without telling his aunt.

"A Yuan, I'm here!" Qing Que shouted happily when she reached the top of the wall.

A Yuan turned around and saw his wife with a big belly coming over in armor and armor, he was out of his wits, "Little Qingque, this is not for fun, you go home!" The belly is so big, it's still making trouble!Be good, this is not the time to be playful.

"He should have come out a long time ago, okay?" Qingque complained, "He probably lived comfortably in my stomach and was lazy and didn't want to come out. This is not going to happen. I'm going to die of anxiety." Although the parents after the child was born I'm more worried, but he doesn't come out when it's time to come out, he's so anxious to death.

Among the Zhuli real people who were besieging the city, there was a conspicuous apricot-yellow flag.The big banner is a black horse. The knight on the horse is strong and capable, with sharp eyes. He looked towards the city, took off the longbow from his back, put on feather arrows, and fired five arrows in succession. The king of Liao on the top of the city!
Qing Que heard the sharp sound of piercing through the air, and stood up in front of A Yuan, swiping the knife to knock down the arrows. "This guy really has a lot of strength!" Qing Que's mouth was numb from the shock, and he cursed secretly.

The knight's arrow was blocked, and he was shocked, with a look of surprise on his face.

A Yuan quickly walked in front of Qingque, and ordered loudly, "Qingque, don't mess around, go home!" Qingque resentfully said, "Fourth brother, leave me alone, I'm going to shoot this guy back!" Taking the bow from his back, Pull it away slowly, aim at the knight under the Xinghuang flag, and shoot five arrows in a row!

The knight was conceited and brave, and he didn't allow the guards around him to help resist, so he drew the knife himself.He dodged the first four arrows, but the fifth arrow came so hard that he couldn't dodge it in time, and his left arm was injured.

Once this person was injured, the situation changed drastically.Not long after, Master Zhu Li receded like a tide.Even though he was retreating, Master Zhu Li was still calm and orderly.Qingque watched from the top of the city, secretly startled.Brother Hu is right, real Zhu Li is the most serious trouble for the Celestial Dynasty.

Qing Que felt a slump in her lower abdomen, and frowned.Xiaoyong, just make trouble for me, when it's time for you to come out, you just don't move; I'm at the top of the city right now, not a place, understand?Don't pick this time to be born, it's too inappropriate.

"A Yuan, I'm going to give birth." Qing Que took A Yuan's hand and complained: "Xiao Yong is too bad, I dare say he won't be born if he doesn't see the enemy."

A Yuan supported her, looking anxious, "Niu Niu, let's go home immediately, okay?" Qing Que shook her head sadly, "Xiaoyong won't wait, he's so bad!" Qing Que had given birth to two My child, I feel something is wrong right now, Xiaoyong is a bad boy, and he is also impatient, so why is he willing to wait.

A Yuan sternly ordered the guards around him, "Put up the tent, quickly, quickly!" The guards either quickly set up the tent, or rushed back to the house to call the midwife and doctor, each busy.

As soon as the tent was set up, and before the midwife arrived from Prince Liao's mansion, Princess Liao successfully gave birth to her third son, named Xiaoyong.

The Jinyiwei in Guangning often reported to the capital.When they reported to the emperor the family affairs of King Liao, including Xiao Congcong and Xiao Ming's trip to the market, the emperor couldn't stop smiling.A Yuan, Xiao Congcong and Xiao Mingming really look like you, they are good boys with a pure heart.

Knowing that Princess Liao had given birth in Chengtou, the emperor didn't know what to say.A Yuan, your daughter-in-law...is amazing.Your Xiaoyong was born like this, what kind of temperament will he be when he grows up?A Yuan, you are busy.

The emperor was still diligent and frugal, and was loved by civil officials.The emperor now has a son and a daughter, and he values ​​the eldest son Ah Chao the most, and he personally teaches him whenever he has the time.My favorite is the little princess Axiu. Axiu is pink and tender, intelligent and beautiful, and she is a very likable little girl.

When Axiu was more than one year old, she was very clever and cute, and often made the emperor laugh out loud.No matter what worrying state affairs the emperor has, no matter how much worry he has about the future, all worries will disappear when he sees his precious daughter.

Queen Zhang also likes her own daughter, but she also wants to have a son in her dreams.No matter how favored a daughter is, she cannot inherit the throne, only a son can. "Give me a son!" Empress Zhang was obsessed, looking forward to a son, a biological son who could inherit the throne.

Since Awei can be born, why can't he have a son?Empress Zhang wanted to ask for a son, and frequently invited Taoist priests with profound magic power to fast and offer sacrifices in the palace.It's a pity that no matter how much she struggled, her stomach still didn't move.

Queen Zhang tossed and tossed, and the Taoist not only failed to bring her a new child, but also took away her youngest daughter.

Axiu has always been very lively and cute, but when she was one and a half years old, she got chickenpox.It is very dangerous for a child of this age to have chickenpox. The imperial physicians tried their best, but the little princess's condition continued to worsen day by day without any improvement.

Both the emperor and queen Zhang panicked.When manpower was not enough, they believed in gods and Buddhas even more. An eunuch who was usually favored by the emperor and Queen Zhang specially sought out a Taoist priest and kindly invited amulet water for the little princess. After the little princess Axiu drank the water, she swallowed it quickly. Annoyed.The eunuch who invited Fushui for Princess Taikang wanted to flatter her. How could she have imagined that the emperor's beloved little princess would die when she drank the water?He was so frightened that he committed suicide by taking poison.But what's the use of him being dead, Axiu is dead too.

The poor child Axiu, like her elder brother Awei, didn't live past her second birthday.They have the same father and mother, and their fate is similar. They only stayed in this bustling world for just over a year, bringing laughter and hope to their parents, but also deep pain and suffering.

The emperor was so sad that he posthumously named Axiu as Princess Taikang. He chose a geomantic land in the suburbs of Beijing and was buried with princely ceremonies. "Too presumptuous", many civil servants shook their heads and were very dissatisfied.However, the emperor was always very frugal, and although the civil servants were dissatisfied, no one had the nerve to write a letter to dissuade him at this time.

"Your Majesty is wise, but he loves his daughter too much." The civil servants could only explain themselves in this way.

The emperor's health was not very good, and after the death of the little princess, it became worse day by day.Empress Zhang felt sorry for her beloved daughter and fell ill.Although she is a daughter who cannot inherit the throne, she is also her own, so there is no one who does not feel distressed.

On this day, the emperor went to the Taoist temple to see Jia Shuning as usual.Seeing him sitting withered for a long time, Jia Shuning looked desolate, and felt hatred in her heart: Do you know that your heart hurts now?Isn’t my unborn child your own, why don’t you mourn for him and uphold justice for him?
Jia Shuning gently poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the emperor, and sat quietly with him.

In the hot air of the tea, the emperor, who was still in his prime, looked old and exhausted.

Facing such an emperor, Jia Shuning suddenly felt compassionate.He is considered a good person, he is also very difficult, right?
After a while, Jia Shuning's heart became cold and hard again.Who has mercy on me?Who has pity on my unborn child?He indulged Zhang's misfortune, this is the retribution he deserves, why should I pity him.

There was a bitter smile on the emperor's kind face, "The empress is ill, and I am just trying to support myself." The two children, Awei and Axiu, came in a hurry and left in a hurry. How much pain it brings.

Jia Shuning gently persuaded him, "For the sake of the common people in the world, and for the sake of the Empress Dowager and her elders, Your Majesty, please cherish yourself."

What Jia Shuning said was aboveboard and upright, the emperor felt ashamed when he heard it, "You are right, I shouldn't be obsessed with the private affairs of my children, but leave state affairs and grandmother behind." The emperor put down the teacup, Pull up your spirits, "I'm going to Ningshou Palace to talk to grandma right now, Shuning, thank you." Jia Shuning smiled, "Shuning can't afford what His Majesty said."

After sending the emperor away, Jia Shuning sat alone and sneered.Queen is sick?Mrs. Zhang, your hard days are ahead.

The eldest son of the emperor is already eight years old and sensible.He was deliberately pampered by Queen Zhang since he was a child. He is straightforward, naive, brave and genuine.Jia Shuning had been watching coldly, and she knew very clearly the preferences and temperament of the eldest son of the emperor.

"Eight years old, it's still too young." Jia Shuning hesitated, "Maybe, wait for him to be a little older?" The fact that I want to tell him is too important. If he is too young, he may not be able to understand it, and it will be a bad thing.

When Jia Shuning was hesitating, by coincidence, she caught a cold and fell ill.This common wind and cold made Jia Shuning make up her mind, "I might get sick or die, I can't wait any longer!"

Ah Chao, I want to tell you who your mother is, how she died, and who killed her.If you are really a child with temperament, then even if you are small and weak today and can't do anything for her, one day you must avenge her, understand?

When the eldest son of the emperor came to visit the temple, Jia Shuning told him a story about the court lady Alian.In the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, there was a court lady named A Lian. She was honest, diligent, and without fault. By chance, she gave birth to the emperor's first son. Because of this son, she paid her all. life.As for the queen, she got the name "Eldest Son", poor Alian.

The eldest son of the emperor looked stubborn, "How did she die?" Jia Shuning glanced at him with a smile, and sighed softly, "She was just a court lady, how did she die, who cares? When she died, her son became a child." This is what matters."

The eldest son of the emperor bit his lips white.

Seeing this, Jia Shuning thought for a while and told him, "A-Lian's body should have been thrown outside the palace for burial. However, the baggy clothes and other relics she wore when she was pregnant were secretly sorted out and buried in the Inner Royal River."

The eldest son of the emperor stood angrily for a long time, then turned and ran away.

Jia Shuning did not expect that the eldest son of the emperor would jump into the Neiyu River to find A-Lian's belongings in person.He could swim, but it was autumn and the water was already very cold. Although he was quickly rescued by the servants, he still caught the cold.

Jia Shuning didn't even think that the eldest son of the emperor was sick because of the cold, and the medicine and stones didn't work, so he died.

"How could this happen?" Jia Shuning was dizzy, "I just wanted to tell him about his life experience, so that he would be wary of Mrs. Zhang, and don't let Mrs. Zhang go in the future! How could this be, how could his life be lost?"

I want you to remember your biological mother's revenge, not to go down the river to retrieve her relics!

"Too playful!" No one knew that the eldest son of the emperor was going down the river to retrieve A-Lian's belongings, and they thought he was playing around again, so that he lost his life for nothing.

Because of the death of the eldest son of the emperor, the entire palace was in chaos.Who is the eldest son of the emperor?The emperor's only son!When the eldest son of the emperor died, the emperor would have no heir, and the empire would have no prince. What a big deal.The emperor was dumbfounded, Queen Zhang was dumbfounded, and the empress dowager spit out a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma.Even the Queen Mother shed tears and was very sad.

Not only is the harem chaotic, but people in the court are also in panic.The emperor only had two sons, one died first, and now another one died!The emperor has no son, what can be done.

The funeral of the emperor's eldest son has not yet ended, and the invitations to invite the emperor to accept the ladies have already flown into the palace like snowflakes.Your Majesty the Emperor, hurry up and marry more concubines, and give birth to more sons, otherwise, who will you pass on to in the future?

When the emperor saw this kind of excerpt, he threw it aside in boredom.To have sons, it is easy for you to be sons.
