However, she did not dare to express this speculation at all, and only gave a tactful answer when Empress Dowager Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei is here." At this moment, an old eunuch quickly entered the palace and said in a loud voice to the Supreme Emperor who was sitting on the bed.

The Supreme Emperor said softly to Empress Dowager Feng who was reading a book in front of the bed: "Let the two of them come in."

Empress Dowager Feng put down the Compendium of Materia Medica in her hand and raised her white face. On her forehead and eyebrows, wrinkles and furrows appeared.

After a while, Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue entered the palace. At this moment, the palace was quiet. Except for the sound of water drops hitting the jade, there was no other noise. The serving maids walked lightly.

"I have seen the Emperor (grandfather) and the Queen Mother (grandmother). Long live the Emperor, and the Queen Mother is a thousand years old." Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue saluted Empress Dowager Feng and the Emperor.

"Get back on your feet." Empress Dowager Feng gently stroked the Emperor's back and said softly.

The Supreme Emperor looked at the boy in the python suit, nodded slightly, and said warmly: "Ziyu, you should be sixteen years old this year."

Jia Heng looked respectful and said: "Back to the emperor, I am the same age as my father Huang Gaiyuan. I am seventeen years old."

Gan Luo became a minister at the age of twelve, Huo Qubing was made a marquis at the age of eighteen, and Kang Mazi captured Obei at the age of sixteen. In this ancient age of fifteen, how many people lived a mediocre life in the future, eating and waiting to die.

people cannot understand.

Life is short, like the morning dew, the prime of life is fleeting. If in the turbulent founding era of the People's Republic of China, there would be many 21-year-old army commanders.

"Just follow Xianning and call our emperor's grandfather." The Supreme Emperor smiled, looked at the young man, and said with some intimacy.

Although he was talking about Xianning, his eyes obviously did not fall on Emperor Chongping's daughter.

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare."

Empress Dowager Feng looked at the young man with her slender phoenix eyes. She saw satisfaction in her sharp eyes and said softly: "If there is anything you don't dare to do, just call him if His Majesty asks you to call him."

It is difficult for the emperor and Jinyang to always value him and betroth Chanyue and Xianning to him.

After hearing this, Jia Heng left his seat again, saluted and said, "Grandfather."

After all, it was his mother-in-law who spoke, so it was hard for him to disobey her.

However, the situation of the Supreme Emperor is also quite worrying. Don't be unable to hold on for the past few months. It is best to hold on until the end of the year. Otherwise, if he dies and Jinyang has not yet given birth, he will not be able to come to the capital with a pregnant belly.

At that time it was really like: Yes, we are having a child.

The Taishang Emperor's old face seemed to be full of emotion and recollection, and he said: "Since I came to the throne, I have thought that although my civil and military skills are not comparable to those of the previous saint emperors, I have worked hard day and night, worked hard to govern, and created a prosperous era of Longzhi. However, in the battle of Liaodong,

The situation in the Han Dynasty is deteriorating. Ziyu, you conquered Liaodong and won a great victory. You returned the leader of the captives with a great victory. From now on, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity and pacify Liaodong as soon as possible."

Jia Heng said: "My father, he simply appointed his ministers at a young age, and they were so arrogant that they could not live up to the divine grace. I have nothing else to do but serve with sincerity in military matters."

Needless to say, these words of praise for Emperor Chongping would definitely reach Emperor Chongping's ears very quickly.

The Supreme Emperor was silent for a moment, looked at the young man expectantly, and said softly: "Ziyu, according to your estimation, how long will it take for Liaodong to be completely pacified?"

Jia Heng pondered for a moment and thought: "Although the Jurchens suffered a great defeat, the elite Eight Banners are still there and have not lost an inch of territory. It will take at least five years for my big man to put down the bandits."

"Five years?" Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor extinguished the light in his eyes again, and murmured: "So long?"

Can his body and bones survive another five years?

Jia Heng said: "The Jurchen separatist rule in Liaodong has become a reality in more than a day. If we want to pacify Liaodong, my court will have to fight at least two or three battles before we can finally succeed."

In fact, it may not take that long, but expect the enemy to be lenient.

The Supreme Emperor sighed and said sadly: "Haste makes waste. It is so difficult to destroy a country. How can it be possible in less than three to five years?"

Although he knew the reality in his heart, he still couldn't help but want to live to see the day when Liaodong returned to the hands of the Han Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Feng comforted her and said: "As long as I, a big man, continue like this, there is no chance that Liaodong will be wiped out in advance. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much."

The Supreme Emperor smiled bitterly, but his face showed sadness.

It seems that he is going to meet the ancestors of the Han Dynasty with the stain of the fall of Liaodong.

The Supreme Emperor gathered his thoughts and asked: "I heard that you proposed the Four New Policies, and suggested that we implement a whipping method in our country, including the return of fire to the public, and the sharing of the land to the acres."

Although the Supreme Emperor abdicated and was raised in Chonghua Palace, he did not forget to pay attention to the changes in the political situation.

Jia Heng said: "It has been a hundred years since the founding of the country, and the evils are deep. Especially the local powerful gentry, wantonly annexed the land, and the cunning officials exploited the people a lot. One of the four principles of the New Deal is the whip method and the idea of ​​allocating people into acres.

Relieve people's hardship and increase the state treasury."

The Supreme Emperor pondered for a moment and said: "A whip technique is acceptable, but the gentry will definitely complain about sharing the land with the peasants."

Jia Heng said: "The general trend of the world is vast. If you follow it, you will prosper, if you go against it, you will perish. Those who act like a mantis with their arms like a chariot will naturally turn into powder."

The Supreme Emperor sighed and said: "You and Xianning's father are both brave men, and the restoration of the Han Dynasty is not far away."

It's just that he doesn't have much time left, and he won't see the day when the big man becomes strong again.

Princess Xianning listened on the sidelines and looked at the young man with sparkling clear eyes, her eyes gradually becoming obsessed.

Li Chanyue on the side did not hesitate to give in, her starry eyes looked at the young man calmly.

Empress Dowager Feng looked at Jia Heng, Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue, and said, "The Emperor will also rest later, so please kneel down."

"Then I will take my leave." Jia Heng bowed and said in a low voice.

Princess Xianning stood up from the embroidered pier, and Li Chanyue bowed to Empress Dowager Feng and the Supreme Emperor, and followed Jia Heng back to Chonghua Palace.

The Supreme Emperor sighed: "I really want to live another three to five years."

His body was weak, and he himself knew that he probably wouldn't be able to survive much longer.

Empress Dowager Feng said quietly: "It doesn't matter if you don't survive. When Liaodong is pacified, I will definitely complain to the Ancestral Temple."

The Supreme Emperor: "..."

"Your Majesty, the medicinal diet is ready." A female official said softly.

Empress Dowager Feng took the medicinal meal, blew the hot air gently with a spoon, handed it over, and said softly: "Let's have a meal."

The Supreme Emperor turned around and whispered: "I'm not hungry."

Empress Dowager Feng sighed softly, blew the hot air from the spoon, and said, "I want to live for another three to five years."

Perhaps the aroma of the medicinal porridge aroused the old man's appetite, so he turned around and asked, "Why haven't you come back from Jinyang after you went to Jiangnan?"

Empress Dowager Feng handed over the spoon and said softly: "It is said that we are dealing with the maritime trade affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Southern Province."

The Supreme Emperor sighed and said, "It's hard for her."

The boss plotted against the fourth child, and after so many years, he still continued to manage the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the fourth child.

…

…

On the other side, Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue left Chonghua Palace and walked along the palace road towards Kunning Palace.

Because Emperor Chongping, Empress Song, and Concubine Duanrong hosted a luncheon for Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Princess Qinghe.

After having lunch with the emperor, concubine and others, Jia Heng, Princess Xianning, and Li Chanyue did not stay long. They left the palace together and got on the carriage. As the carriage turned, the noise of the street came from far to near.

Princess Xianning leaned her head on Jia Heng's arms. Under her curved eyebrows, her clear eyes were crystal clear, and she said softly: "Sir, Chanyue and I will go see Sister Qin later so that we can toast."

Tea."

Jia Heng said: "Yeah."

We got married yesterday, and I wonder if Keqing was thinking wildly at home about how she would have an affair during pregnancy and leave the house in the future.

Li Chanyue took Jia Heng's other arm, seeming to see the worry in her eyebrows, and said softly: "My cousin and I visited Sister Qin many times when my husband was away."

Jia Heng turned his head, stroked the girl's bangs, and said with a smile: "Then we will meet together later, and we will be a family from now on."

Even though we are a family, with so many people in hairdressers and jackets, it is inevitable that they all have their own circles, and it is impossible to be completely harmonious.

In Xian Ning's eyes, there was probably only one dear person, at most Daiyu, who was born in a noble family. The others, even Baochai, in Xian Ning's eyes, to put it harshly, might just be regarded as the daily entertainment toys of his men.

This is Tianhuang Guizhou.

It's actually okay now, at least there's no fighting. It's hard to tell if it lasts forever. It's foreseeable that some overt and covert fights will be inevitable in the future.

This does not mean that there is Zhen Qing outside, and Zhen Lan and others inside are watching eagerly.

Ningguo Mansion, the flower hall in the back house——

In front of his eyes, his head is full of pearls and emeralds, and his eyes are full of beautiful flowers. Qin Keqing, Youshi, Second Sister You, Third Sister You and Sister Feng are sitting on the embroidered pier. In addition, there are Ping'er and Xiangling.

Everyone held Xiangfei fans and fanned them together.

In the current Ningguo Mansion, regardless of what is in the garden, these are the main things in the outer house.

Qin Keqing is sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress. The beauty is wearing a pink dress. Her cheeks are as plump as clouds, like a delicate hibiscus flower. There is a maternal aura lingering between her plump and charming eyebrows.

As the pregnancy progresses, the beauty's skin becomes fairer and fairer, and her clothes seem to be torn under her beautiful neck.

Qin Keqing opened her pink lips slightly and said softly: "Baozhu, when is it?"

Baozhu said softly: "It's not even two minutes now to reply to grandma."

Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were blank for a moment and she was speechless.

Third Sister You said softly: "I'm afraid that the uncle is still in the princess's mansion at the moment."

Although she didn't go to the wedding yesterday, she heard about the gorgeous scene of Ten Miles of Hongzhuang from the dictations of some of the Jia family's grandmothers who welcomed the bride this morning.
