National Beauty

Wu Sanniang's female red is pretty good. Song Jianing arranged for her to go to the embroidery room. Every year, the servants of the palace would send out eight sets of clothes for the four seasons. Wu Sanniang first helped the embroidering women who were in charge of the servants' clothes. Whether the monthly money could rise depends on her performance in the future. As for Acha, because Zhaozhao likes to play with Acha, Song Jianing asked Acha to come by day. It is very simple for children to play with him. There is no need to teach him much. After Zhao Zhao falls asleep, he will take time to teach the rules in the Acha Palace.

Adults suffer hardship and will have a deep memory, but children are different. Acha followed his mother's stomach for so long, and went on a night out. However, after wearing good clothes for two days in the palace and eating good food for two days, Wu Sanniang was still trembling in the embroidered room. Fearing that he might be driven away at any time if he did not do well, Ah Cha was already able to laugh happily, playing hide-and-seek with Zhaozhao.

Song Jianing was sitting in the room, listening to the laughter of the two little girls in the courtyard one after another, and was very satisfied with her decision. With Acha, her daughter was happier and she also relaxed a lot, otherwise her daughter was too clingy to her, go You have to follow me everywhere.

"Daddy!"

The daughter's soft speech suddenly turned into an excited shout. Song Jianing looked up in surprise, and through the glazed window, she saw the tall figure in the corridor. Song Jianing was extremely surprised. The people in Shu area were in distress. She thought that the prince would have to wait for the work to be done before he had free time to accompany them. It was only two nights.

In the yard, Zhao Heng picked up the daughter who was running over, Zhao Zhao blushed and raised the fresh yellow leaves in his hand to show his father, "Pull!"

Zhao Heng was puzzled, and the nurse explained with a smile: "Princess Acha teaches the princess to play, which is similar to Dou Cao. Whoever breaks the stem first will lose."

Zhao Heng looked at Acha again, and as expected, the girl was also holding a leaf in her hand.

Zhao Zhao started to arch again. Zhao Heng let his daughter go down. Zhao Zhao walked over and grabbed the leaves of Acha and gave it to his father, asking him to play with her. The little princess has a request, how dare Shou Wangye not follow? Sitting on the top of the beauty, pinching the end of the leaf with one hand and the tail of the stem with the other, he conscientiously rounded her leaves around, and then pulled back vigorously. The nurse squatted behind the princess to ensure that the princess would not fall. .

Zhao Heng was afraid of her daughter's strangling, and didn't use any force, so the two leaf stems were staggered, and neither of them was broken.

It was the same when Acha played with Zhao Zhao, the nurse taught him, but the staggering of the leaves already made Zhao Zhao happy, giggling as if the father had lost. The little girl smiled crookedly, Zhao Heng also smiled, and looked at his daughter dozingly and said: "My father lost, Zhao Zhao won."

Zhao Zhao laughed enough, and continued to compete with his father.

"It's not like that." Seeing that the prince lost twice and the princess had won twice, Acha finally couldn't help it. He pointed to the leaf stem and told the prince: "It is a loss if the stem is broken." The nursing mother refused to let her. She tried hard, so she always let go, but that was not a loss, the princess did not understand.

The five-year-old girl still doesn't know what it means to deliberately pretend to lose.

Zhao Zhao looked at her, and then at the stalk between her and the father, her mouth opened a little bit, dumbfounded, as if she didn't understand why she didn't stop.

Zhao Heng glanced at Acha lightly.

The nurse took away Acha wittily, and the prince and the princess shared their relationship with the princess. It doesn't matter if she is not present, just take advantage of this to teach Acha again.

"Come on." Zhao Heng flattened the Ye Zijing and continued to coax his daughter. Ye Ye took off. Zhao Zhao still smiled happily. The unhappiness caused by Zhao Heng by Acha disappeared without a trace.

When Song Jianing came out, she only saw the back of the nurse and Acha. She didn't care, and walked to the side of the father and daughter. Seeing that the prince looked relaxed and smiled, Song Jianing relaxed and sat down next to him. , Smilingly watching the father and daughter "comparison".

Zhao Heng gave her his leaves.

Zhao Zhao walked up to her mother and compared her with her. Song Jianing, of course, also lost. Zhao Zhao took a step back and slammed into the arms of both children and let out a burst of joyous laughter like a young oriole. After playing with the leaves for a while, the red sun became lower and lower, the yard began to turn cold, and the family of three went back to the main house.

After the meal, the nurse picked up the little princess, and Song Jianing accompanied Zhao Heng into the inner room.

After washing, Zhao Heng wore a shirt and sat on the edge of the bed. Song Jianing sat on his knees behind him and gently helped him through the hair. The prince was working as an errand in the Ministry of Science and Technology and was busy with major affairs every day. Before going to bed, he would sleep better at night. Because it wasn't hard work, Zhao Heng accepted this thoughtfulness. Moreover, she moved softly, and he was very comfortable just once.

"How about Acha? Is there anything wrong?" Thinking of his daughter, Zhao Heng asked casually. She was kind-hearted and took Wu Sanniang mother and daughter. Zhao Heng did not object, but not everyone is qualified to serve his princess. He must ask clearly.

Song Jianing smiled, holding his jet-black hair, combing the edges softly and said: "Quite sensible, Zhao Zhao is partial to eating vegetables, she will also reason to Zhao Zhao, saying that the food is delicious, and he can grow taller. Humph. , I have said this too, Zhaozhao did not listen, Acha said that she believed it, and a bowl of vegetable and meat porridge was eaten clean."

Before feeding my daughter to vegetable porridge, the little girl stared very tightly, there was a little green in the spoon, she didn't want to eat it, no one could coax it.

Zhao Heng listened, humming. Acha was only five years old. At that time, correcting the winning or losing between him and his daughter was just a childish argument.

"Background from the countryside, need to be carefully trained." Zhao Heng finally ordered.

Song Jianing paused, she really didn't expect that the prince would say the four words "from rural origin".

When the ice and snow melt in the spring, the prince would think of Peach Blossom Spring and personally inspect the Yellow River. Wu Sanniang’s mother and daughter begged for food on the way. However, Song Jianing had difficulty responding to the prince's comment on Acha in a slightly contemptuous tone.

She stopped combing, Zhao Heng looked back, Song Jianing hurriedly smiled, but was a step late, Zhao Heng had already seen the astonishment in her eyes.

Zhao Heng frowned: "Why don't you understand?"

Song Jianing knew that the prince was smart, she couldn't help it, so she cautiously said: "Is the prince dissatisfied with Acha? Then I arrange for her to go to Zhuangzi." I don't want the prince to tolerate people he doesn't like because of her relationship.

Zhao Heng stared at her for a moment, took away the comb in her hand, he turned around, hugged her and said, "I wish the people, peace and happiness, and will do my best. But since I am a slave, he should be well trained and master and servant. Duty."

Song Jianing understood that when the mother and daughter of Wu Sanniang were outside the palace, they were the people who were suffering. The prince loved the people, so she took care of them. But when the mother and daughter of Wu Sanniang entered the palace, their identity changed. From then on, the prince only talked about superiority and inferiority. There is nothing wrong with loving the people like a child and asking the servants to follow the rules, but she shouldn’t have been taking care of Wu Sanniang’s mother and daughter as victims of the disaster.

"I know, the prince can rest assured, I will tell you to go down. If there is something wrong with Acha's service, please follow the rules." Song Jianing said softly.

Zhao Heng smiled, lowered his head and said in her ear: "Russ can be taught."

The corners of Song Jianing's lips were raised, and he wanted to ask him what he had done in Shudi, but his earlobe was suddenly caught by him. The long-lost intimacy instantly stunned Song Jianing's half of his body, hooked his shoulders with a small hand, closed his eyes and kissed him, and then kissed him as well, breathing harder and heavier, who has the leisure to think about outsiders?

There are some things that you can't do while you are pregnant, but neither of them has just gotten married. Pulling up the quilt, there are other ways to do it.

When the movement in the tent calmed down, Song Jianing fell asleep leaning on his arms, Zhao Heng hugged the petite princess, with a satisfied expression, but his eyes gradually restored clarity. The words of a disaster victim may not be credible. He first sent his staff Zhang Song and Li Xu to secretly interrogate the victims in the Shu area near the capital. On the side of Zhongshu Province, he also looked through some old memorials and found that there were officials from the Shu area. I have played the local people’s sentiments and asked the emperor to send officials to govern. My father also attached great importance to this matter back then and selected a group of officials. However...

The emperor has the world in his mind, but he can't be in the world, or officials cheated on top and concealed from the bottom, or officials were mediocre in governance. The situation in Shu area is still getting worse year after year. The people are in trouble, and if they encounter natural disasters, the court will no longer care. , I am afraid it will be too late.

After three days, Zhang Song and Li Xu each handed out a list to King Shou. They listed the names and origins of the victims in Shu that they had inquired in the past few days, as well as the main causes of local sufferings that the victims reported. There are a total of 26 households. . This is still just fleeing to the vicinity of the capital, in the prefectures and counties between the capital of Shu and the capital, how many victims have escaped from the capital of Shu?

Zhao Heng slept alone in the front yard that night and wrote a memorial overnight.

However, Zhao Heng did not state the matter in the morning. After eating the lessons of confronting his father in front of the civil and military officials twice, Zhao Heng also understood that there are some things he only needs to let his father know, and he said it privately. If the emperor father agrees, his goal has been achieved. The emperor father disagrees, and the father and son distinguish them separately. No matter how ugly it is, it only happens between father and son.

After dispersing the dynasty, Zhao Heng went to Chongzheng Hall, and met two officials from the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian on the way.

Emperor Xuande was discussing with Prime Minister Song Qi, and Zhao Henggui was the prince, and he had to wait outside, but after the Prime Minister came out, Emperor Xuande called his son in first.

"Father, six days ago, the sons and ministers went to incense and met the victims on the way home. They were shocked by the chaos in Shu, and sent someone to investigate. It is indeed true. Please father to review." In the presence of Wang En and the living officer, Zhao Heng intermittently said. The pause between each short sentence is obvious, but there is no stammering in the single sentence. Although it sounds a little strange, it is not hurtful.

The old third said so much in one breath, Emperor Xuande sounded very smoothly, just like a man who had just become a father, happy for his son's small progress.

"Let's take a look." Emperor Xuande said calmly, arguing that Zhou found the country, and the great chaos in the Shu area has never been stopped, so the son will mention it again, and Emperor Xuande is not surprised.

Zhao Heng handed over the memorial.

Emperor Xuande looked down and saw that his son actually said that there was a hidden danger of rebellion among the people in Shu. Emperor Xuande finally frowned. Was his son alarmist? This year's drought in Shu land caused some victims to be displaced. Other prefectures and counties also experienced such incidents. But the next year the harvest was good and the people had food to eat, so naturally they stopped complaining.

Looking at his son actually suggesting that he reduce taxes and punish corrupt officials and profiteers to divide the land for the common people, Emperor Xuande laughed suddenly, put down the memorial, and looked at his youngest third with a child-like look: "Your idea is for the sake of the people in Shu. But the officials and gentry who have fields in Shu land have lost their fields for nothing. Don’t everyone in other prefectures and counties endanger themselves? Yuanxiu, things about fields are not that simple. If you want to make major changes, you will inevitably lead to chaos."

The world is not the only place in the land of Shu. Emperor Xuande has to worry a lot every day. Since he didn't take his son's memorial seriously, Emperor Xuande directly put the matter down, and did not give his son the opportunity to continue to debate with him. , Asked Wang En to bring in two officials from the Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Heng had no choice but to retire first, and as soon as he walked out of the main hall, there was a sudden rush of eight hundred miles in Xiongzhou from outside.

Zhao Heng was shocked. Xiongzhou is a fortress in northern Xinjiang. Could it be that Liao Kingdom has come to nuisance again?

But he had been driven out by his father, he was worried about the affairs of the country, and there was no reason to go in and listen.

In the hall, although the two officials from the Qintian Supervisor and the Ministry of Rites came in, they had to stand aside with their heads down for the time being when they encountered 800 li in a hurry, letting the emperor handle more important matters first. Emperor Xuande took the eight hundred li expedited letter and read it two or three times in a row. His eyes were getting brighter and brighter. He stood up excitedly, walked a few times with his hands under his hands, and suddenly said: "The secret envoy Cao Yu, Duke Wei Guo Guo Boyan..."

In one sigh of relief, all the key members of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were ordered.

The **** passed away, and Emperor Xuande took his seat again and glanced away. Only then did he remember that he had just called two officials in, and asked absently, "What's the matter?"

The two walked to the middle, and Mr. Gao, an official of the Qin Tianjian, spoke: "The emperor, the princess's wedding date is undecided. You let the lower officials choose auspicious days. The ministers have picked a total of five auspicious days, and the emperor will have a look." The big red post was handed over.

Emperor Xuande waved his hand and hurriedly said to the Feng Babaili: "This matter is not in a hurry, let's step back first."

The two officials looked at each other, but the emperor could only have Princess Duanhui a daughter. The princess was not in a hurry for her wedding, so what is it? Did the Liao State send troops? But looking at the appearance of the emperor, it is clear that they have encountered something happy... The two of them really couldn't guess, and left helplessly.

The six ministers of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War arrived one after another, and when they were all there, Emperor Xuande asked Wang En to pass the memorial to the six people one by one.

After the courtiers finished reading, Emperor Xuande sat on the dragon chair and asked the privy envoy Cao Yu first: "What does Ai Qing think?"

Cao Yu looked up. Although the emperor on the opposite side was over fifty years old, and although he had been haggard for more than half a year because of King Chu's affairs, he still looked so bright today. At this point, can he still not see it?

Now that he had guessed what the emperor wanted to hear, Cao Yu said loudly: "The emperor, the Liao Emperor died of illness, the youngest son is only ten years old, and the queen mother is the regent. The Liao Kingdom will inevitably be in chaos at this time and there will be no time for borders. At the right time, the minister begged the emperor to send troops!"

This is what Emperor Xuande wanted to hear, and his gaze shifted to Guo Boyan and others.

Guo Boyan frowned and said hesitatingly: "The emperor, I am very serious, and the minister thinks it is better to inquire about it first, and then make a decision."

Emperor Xuande had suffered defeats under the Liao army and personally experienced the bravery of the Liao people. Emperor Xuande did not dare to send troops easily, nodded, and sent people to the frontier to inquire. Within half a month, Xiongzhou sent three consecutive seals and eight hundred miles. Urgently, all claim that the news is true.
