Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Emperor Qi Heng was in a trance for a moment, his originally bright eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gloom, and he said casually, "Where is a good general going to lead the army to fight? It is not impossible to let General Wei Liang go to the north to hone his skills!"

Duan Ao hurriedly said, "The emperor thought deeply, there are many waterways in the south, and there are many ships in the war. General Wei Liang commanded thousands of warships. Wouldn't it be useless for a hero to transfer him to the north?" Of course the most important thing Will the soldiers in the north obey him? I am afraid that Wei Liang will be alone when he goes. If he thinks more seriously, he is a southerner who suddenly went to such a cold place. It is not certain whether he will be able to adapt. A cold and fever can kill a person in an alpine place!
Presumably it was either Prince Wei Yuande or Prime Minister Zhou who came up with this idea, who doesn't know what kind of bad intentions they have?
This prince~~ has started to rule out differences before he ascended the throne. If Emperor Qiheng continues to let him go, the Great Zhou Dynasty will fall into chaos sooner or later.

Duan Ao said a few words with great sincerity, but Emperor Qi Heng didn't listen to a word, and waved his hands impatiently.

"It is said that the Great Zhou Kingdom is peaceful and will not fight~~'
"Besides, I have left this matter to the prince. If you have any opinions, you can talk to the prince. By the way~~ I am not feeling well these days, so I will arrange for the prince to supervise the country for the time being."

"General Duan has guarded northern Xinjiang for many years, enjoy your old age in peace, don't worry so much."

After hearing a few words, Duan Ao was disheartened.

Emperor Qi Heng is soft-tempered and not firm enough in will, he likes to swing from side to side when doing things, but he can distinguish right from wrong in major matters, otherwise he would not have given the Night King and Heng King fiefdoms against the pressure of his officials.

But now he decided to let go? He decided to completely let go and hand over the world of Da Zhou to Prince Wei Yuande? If so, it is really hard to predict what the future of Da Zhou will be like!
But what's the use of worrying anymore? Even Emperor Qiheng can't listen to him, so who else can he tell his worries?
From his point of view, there are so many princes in the Great Zhou Kingdom, including King Ye, Crown Prince, and King Xuan~~ the most unsuitable one to be emperor is Crown Prince Wei Yuande.

In the eighth year of Qiheng, there was a locust plague. Prince Wei Yuande took the place of the emperor to inspect the disaster situation in the north. He ignored the victims’ lack of harvest and sold all the relief food to unscrupulous businessmen to make a fortune. As a result, he starved and died everywhere. !
In the tenth year of Qiheng, there was a flood in the north, and the plague broke out after the disaster. The emperor sent the prince Wei Yuande to solve the plague. He never thought that Wei Yuande would gather the patients who had the plague and prepare to burn them to death.
Is it a blessing or a curse for the Great Zhou Kingdom to have such a crown prince?
On the other hand, Night King, benevolent, loving the people, courageous and resourceful, now manages Lingzhou in an orderly manner.
It's a pity~~It's a pity that the ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not allow him to be emperor, what a pity and sigh!
"I'm tired, General Duan doesn't need to say more, just step back." Emperor Qi Heng waved his hand again with a blank expression, and asked General Duan to step back.

Just as General Duan left, a slender beauty came out from behind the bead curtain, "Your Majesty, are you tired? My concubine will help you to rest in Changning Hall."

"Okay~~" Emperor Qi Heng got up expressionlessly.

Peonies are in full bloom in the back garden of the palace, and a group of concubines are admiring the flowers.

At this time, the nanny brought a toddler boy over. This boy was born to the concubine Zhong Cuiyun who was bitten by a poisonous snake and had her legs amputated. Older, walking on tiptoe, mouth drooling.

Far away, several concubines were discussing quietly.

"For some reason, I always feel that the grandson of the emperor doesn't look very smart." The speaker was a beauty who had just entered the palace, looking at the child who fell forward with a puzzled expression.

"Ha~~ You haven't heard of it? The emperor's grandson's biological mother was bitten by a poisonous snake when she was pregnant with him. I'm afraid the toxin hurt his brain."

"I said, no wonder I can't walk when I'm so old, I look like a fool"

"Whether he is a fool or not, what does it matter to us?" Another concubine put her face in front of a chopped flower and sniffed it, her face full of melancholy. I’ve been in the palace for so long, I can’t even see the emperor’s face! Sigh~”

Not long ago, a group of newcomers entered the palace, and one of the concubines named Jiang Ya was favored by the emperor, which made these beauties jealous.

At this moment, in the pavilion surrounded by peonies in front, Empress Zhou was sitting on a warm jade stool, drinking tea and admiring flowers, and asked the eunuch next to her for a long time.

"The emperor stayed at Yagui's place last night again?"

"Go back to your mother, yes." The waiter hurriedly responded.

Empress Zhou's face turned ugly when she heard this, and she twitched the corners of her mouth.

This beauty named Jiang Ya was sent to the palace by her elder brother Prime Minister Zhou. As soon as he entered the palace, Emperor Qi Heng took a fancy to him. His mother and concubine Wu Guifei were even more favored.

She is already a queen, why did my brother send such a beauty in? It really made her a little puzzled.

I was also flustered in my heart, since the death of Concubine Wu Gui, the emperor has neglected beauty, but although he doesn't go to the harem very much, he still goes to the Jade Phoenix Hall once a month, but since the nobleman enters the palace, the emperor Not even going to the Jade Phoenix Hall, how can she feel at ease?
Feeling upset, Prime Minister Zhou came.

"A few days ago, I came across a few rare things, and I specially sent them to the empress to play with." Prime Minister Zhou asked his attendants to place the brocade boxes they were holding on the table, and said with a smile.

"Really?" Empress Zhou looked at the brocade boxes and finally felt a little happier, "Uncle Guo, please sit down." Then she opened one of the brocade boxes.

Inside the brocade box is a piece of brightly colored agate, which is so dazzling that the queen smiled when she saw it.

Zhou Qian looked at Empress Zhou's face, and explained with a smile, "This piece of agate was bought from an overseas merchant at a high price. It is said that it comes from a small country called 'Sumatra' over the sea."

"It's really beautiful." Empress Zhou took out that piece of agate and played with it for a while.

"The emperor has always been devoted, and I heard that he cares about elegant people. If he neglects the empress because of this, I am deeply sorry." Empress Zhou has obtained so many precious and rare treasures, and she feels very happy. Smile.

"Damn~~ What do you say in my family? Yagui was sent to the palace by my brother, so she is my own. How can I be jealous of my own people?"
"That's good." Zhou Qian's eyes flashed a faint smug, took a sip of tea, and said a lot of good things about elegant people to dispel the jealousy of Queen Zhou, and comforted Queen Zhou with treasures and a clever tongue Tie Tie Tie was about to get up and leave when the nanny came over with the eldest grandson in her arms.

After all, the eldest grandson of the emperor was brought up by Queen Zhou. When he saw Queen Zhou, he grinned and drooled.

Struggling to get down and walk, but before taking two steps on tiptoe, he fell to the ground, crying loudly.

"Hey!" Prime Minister Zhou glanced at the emperor's eldest grandson and sighed, "Empress, you can now understand why I didn't agree to let the emperor's eldest grandson be the heir, right? Retire."

After Prime Minister Zhou left, Empress Zhou looked at the eldest grandson of the emperor who only knew to be drooling and giggling, and her face turned ugly.

Although the imperial doctor always said that the child has not grown up, it is not yet possible to jump to conclusions, but who can see it? This child, his brain has been poisoned and stupid, and he may not be able to walk in the future! It really is a waste of her thoughts .

Thinking of this, Empress Zhou stood up, picked up two things that she didn't like so much from a few brocade boxes, and asked Nanny Zhao to hold them.

"Let's go to Zhaoshu Palace to see the emperor's grandson."
