Queen Mother [-]: Is Rong'er being used up after being used up?

This volume contains more than 4000 large chapters and will be updated with a frequency of one to two chapters per day.

The first year of Changxing - if there is no surprise, this is also the eighth day of November in the last year of the "Changxing" era, in the bedroom of the main hall of Cining Palace.

"Good daughter, let dad hug you!" Zhou Yang carefully took the little cute child from Yuan Chun's hand, staring lovingly at the little face in front of him that had just learned to turn up the corners of its mouth, "They say the daughter is the father. My little cotton-padded jacket, you must be obedient in the future and never be like your inconsiderate mother who thinks about things all day long."

"Your Majesty, how can you say that about the empress?" Yuan Chun hit the emperor angrily, turned around and handed a clean diaper to Li Hong, "No wonder the empress kept saying that she was not so troublesome when she was pregnant with the late emperor. It turns out that they are two debt collectors. The queen worked hard to have them. It was a full moon yesterday, but your Majesty only cares about your daughter now."

"How can a son be as obedient as a daughter?" Zhou Yang, with a smile on his face, hugged his daughter and sat aside, gently rocking the little cute child, acting as a "human cradle." "Haven't you heard that a son must be raised in poverty? It saves him from knowing that life will be difficult in the future and turns him into a playboy and a spendthrift; it saves them from being deceived by a few sweet words and sweet-scented osmanthus candy when their daughter wants to be rich."

"You, just show off there." Li Hong changed his son's diaper, breathed a sigh of relief and handed it to Yuan Chun to hold him aside. He turned around and gave someone a roll of his eyes, "You said 'breastfeeding', it doesn't matter." You insisted on finding four nurses; besides, with the two of them here, I could have been taken care of by others, so you insisted on saying 'take care of your own children'."

"Your Majesty, the little princess was very peaceful last night and slept soundly with me. Your Highness had to make trouble for the queen in the middle of the night, fearing that she would not fall asleep until she was close to the wife." Yuan Chun said softly, "Fortunately, Sister Yingchun was there to help me. Take care of her, otherwise it would be hard to tell whether the empress could sleep last night, you see she doesn’t look very good now.”

"It's not that this bitch is stupid, she even wants to put on the airs of a queen mother to scare such a small baby." Zhou Yang glared at a certain queen mother angrily, and then nodded to Yingchun, who was smiling next to him, " That's enough, you will have plenty of opportunities to learn in the future, and your children's education is related to the inheritance of the dynasty."

"Anyway, it's just a prince's annual salary, what's it worth?" Li Hong said quietly, obviously there was something in his words.

"I remember that someone said with confidence that this boy must be named Guo, and he must not be named Zhou." A certain emperor glared at Li Hong angrily, until she looked away with a guilty conscience, "Also, what are you saying? If you dare to tell Xuan'er, I will really admire you. Tell me, who came into the palace to cause trouble? Do you think there are too many people in the family and want my help to reduce the number? "

"Your Majesty, after your two highnesses had a full-moon banquet yesterday, several relatives and family members of the original royal family stayed to pay their respects. They said in and out of their words that 'my family is more trustworthy' and 'after all, the late emperor left his flesh and blood' and so on." Yuanchun said softly, "The empress was also moved by what they said. In fact, she usually..."

"This bitch is not in peace." Zhou Yang stood up angrily, handed the little cotton-padded jacket in his arms to Yingchun, waved his hand for the two sisters to go out, and then sat down next to Li Hong, holding her down with his backhand and giving her a slap. , "You are the queen of the former dynasty, but you don't have the blood of the Guo family. Nowadays, those who have a little bit of brains can probably guess who Wei'er is.

Are a few trivial things really tempting you?I understand what you're thinking. It's the same thing as 'the eldest son of the family and the officials of the state', right?The inheritance of the throne is related to the rise and fall of a dynasty. How many times in the past dynasties have the crown prince pulled his hips, leading to turmoil or even the destruction of the country?Since Xuan'er is the queen, she is also the mother of the prince—forget it this time, if you dare to be a monster in the future, see if I don't take care of you. "

"Finally, I can rest assured." While the two were talking, Princess Yongchang's proud voice came from the door, and soon she was helped into the room by Dongfang Bing, "My dear sister-in-law, come over here I tolerate it because the Guo family's blood is weak; now I will never accept that the next generation does not have the Guo family's blood."

"Have you found out?" Zhou Yang got up quickly, hugged her with a smile and sat beside him.

"The ones in the south of the Yangtze River." Princess Yongchang smiled coldly, "Most of the families left behind yesterday are dishonest these days, but they are all used as chess pieces. Basically all of my people are watching, and every day Every time they send news, they always go to places like Jinling Guild Hall and Jiangnan Guild Hall.

According to the news from Zhen Yingjia, some of the bigger forces in Jiangnan are ready to make moves. The biggest problem is that it cannot be justified in name, so they want to get a puppet from Beijing and take it to Jiangnan to offer it. In addition, there have been rumors these days. Some news eventually broke out. This guy is just a cover, and his fundamental purpose is to destroy your Minister of Military and Aircraft. "

"Rong'er, do you even keep an eye on me so hard?" Li Hong said angrily.

"My Queen Mother, please don't say you don't know that this is the core place of the royal family in the capital." Princess Yongchang rolled her eyes and said, "It's really interesting. It's obvious that in terms of blood, everyone except the father is I am the one who respects you, but no one came to my place and said anything. On the contrary, your place is very lively with people coming and going. Is it possible that it is really a 'flies don't bite the eggs'?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Hongshun picked up the feather duster beside him and threw it towards Princess Yongchang, and was caught by Zhou Yang beside him, "I really think I don't understand their thoughts, and it's not for..."

"Why don't you say it anymore?" Seeing that Li Hong was stuck mid-sentence, Princess Yongchang stared with a straight face, her tone was unprecedentedly serious, "Royal Sister-in-law, I know what you are thinking, but the future prince must have The blood of the Guo family is not only for myself, but also for the stability of the world. Even though the surname in this world is Zhou now, not all the people who have benefited from the Guo family are dead."

Although Zhou Yang took over the Zhou Dynasty for reasons that were difficult to solve, generally speaking, many people, whether in the court or at the local level, had objections to his approach of promoting military generals and suppressing civil servants, so there was dissatisfaction. There are few infamys such as "rebellious", "a warrior ruling the country" and "military". Some people want to pin the death of Emperor Yonghe and even Emperor Changxing on Zhou Yang.

The good news is that this is equivalent to tying the entire world's military power to his side, and the military and military sides have spared no effort to support him; the bad news is that the civil servants are now divided into two factions, one of which advocates "loyalty to national affairs" , not one family has one surname." The other faction is "righteousness and fame are above all else." The former is Lin Ruhai and Li Mian, and the latter is the Jiangnan turbans.

"Rong'er, after all, the world now has the surname Zhou." Li Hong hesitated for a moment and then said softly, "Outsiders don't know, don't you know? At first, Ziyang said that it would take until the end of the year to rectify the capital camp, but at the beginning of September, The [-] firearms elite soldiers have basically taken shape, and what is lacking is nothing more than a few weapons.

Now, in the Ordnance Supervision of the Ministry of War and the Gyeonggi region, a total of thousands of craftsmen have been sent to Prince Jinghai, and tens of thousands more are in the Ordnance Supervision, organized to build ordnance. According to His Majesty, this is equivalent to The original production scale has been expanded five times. Whether looking at the world or throughout history, there has never been such a large firearms production... well, factory.

At the end of the month at the most, all the ordnance that is lacking in the entire Beijing camp will be available. Tangshan has built a new arsenal and an iron factory. If it is the middle of next year, the slowest will be the end of the year. All firearms production will be able to truly meet the needs. By then , Some things that don't know how to die, so what can they do? "

"Say!" Princess Yongchang hit someone next to her twice.

"You only see the long term, but forget the present!" Zhou Yang said angrily, "At least within ten years, what Rong'er said is good. Only after that can we achieve what you just said. The world needs an army to stabilize it. , but we can't rely on the army to solve all problems. How do you expect me to stabilize the past ten years? I can't rely entirely on a 'bright future', right? Those people in Jiangnan who don't want to die are not fools. I will still rely on them to govern the country in a short period of time. politics.

Wu Xun was indeed helped up by me, but what could they do in a short period of time?Do I need to transfer people from the army to govern the place?They can only ensure the stability of the place, but they cannot make the place develop. Even if it is to be used, it must be cultivated first. I must have a way to withstand such a long window period, right? "

"So, you pulled out the original 'teaching camp' of the Shenji Battalion and turned it into the 'Army Command College', and served as the dean yourself?" Princess Yongchang took the tea bowl from Dongfang Bing, took a sip and borrowed it. Said, "Yes, literati have academies, why can't generals have academies? But, since you emphasize the army and the sea - huh?" "Do you understand?" Zhou Yang said with a smile, "I forgot that I have done this these days what?"

"No wonder you asked Bing'er to take the princess to Prince Jinghai and stayed there for nearly a month." Princess Yongchang glared at her most trusted confidant in annoyance, " You are so courageous, even I dare to hide it, and when I come back and say that I am in trouble with my business, it turns out that I am training naval officers there."

"Don't blame Bing'er, I told her not to say anything." Zhou Yang hugged Princess Yongchang tightly and smiled, "You are already in the first month after all. At most, you won't be able to continue carrying her for a while. Anyway, Dongfang Follow you all the time, and wait for you to recover, and then take it back? Or do you feel uneasy? "

"Hey, Rong'er was just left out after using it?" Li Hong also took the tea cup from Dongfang Bing and looked at Princess Yongchang with a teasing expression, "It's really very happy. I want to take a closer look. , in the future, can you still play tricks on me, the 'former queen' who is 'run out and thrown'?"

"Humph, it turns out that this palace has the same plan, but now it seems that I am a little worried." Princess Yongchang glared at someone, then waved her hand to signal her cronies to kneel down in front of her, "You are also cruel, betrayal The master has no hesitation at all, are you not afraid of being ignored by him in the future? Don’t forget, there are two girls named Zhao living in the Jiaotai Hall behind the Daming Palace!"

"No matter how dare your subordinates betray anything, they are always serving the master." Dongfang Bing said seriously, "Princess, please forgive me for being rude. What the Queen Mother said is not entirely unreasonable. No one can cross the Queen Mother, young master. In the future, the servants will be indispensable, but how to arrange it should be decided by His Majesty."

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Princess Yongchang took out the seal from her arms a little lonely and threw it into Dongfang Bing's hand, "It's all because of this debt collector, so many things have been delayed. When he meets the sky in the future, I will The palace insists on spanking him - but I don’t know how your majesty is prepared to arrange his concubine?"

"Who are you showing your face to?" Zhou Yang smiled and nodded to Li Hong, stood up and hugged Princess Yongchang and Dongfang Bing and went out, "As Bing'er said, can you still run into other people's hands in the future? Here? Qiying and Yan Ling are so busy right now, how can they have time to take over your job? Your most important task now is to let our baby be born well."

"Hmph, it's up to you. If you dare to prevent this girl Bing'er from returning her to me in the future." Princess Yongchang said harshly.

"I'll let your belly continue to grow - Ouch!" Zhou Yang screamed, obviously being "beaten" by Her Highness the Princess, but he still didn't forget about business, "I remember you just said, the news Are they all sent to Jiangnan?"

"That's right, but most of them were blocked." Princess Yongchang hammered someone a few more times before calming down. "What, you want me to let you go?"

"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. At least give them a chance and let them go no matter who they choose." Zhou Yang said with a sneer, "Let's not let them get together in the middle of next year. When Only then can it be resolved!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" This time it was Dongfang Bing who answered.

Just left the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is asleep." Yuan Chun came out of the inner room and reported to Li Hong with a smile.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sisters." Li Hong chuckled and waved her hand, motioning for Yuan Chun to sit next to her, "We sisters have been together for almost ten years now, right?"

"It's still a few months away." Yuanchun replied softly.

"Well, I ask you, what do you think of the things mentioned just now?" Li Hong decided to pull "ally".

"Empress, I think it's better not to be like this." In Li Hong's surprised eyes, Yuan Chun even said that he was equal, "His Majesty's mind cannot be shaken by others. His Highness Yongchang is such a strong person, why should he take advantage of it?" Is the machine locked up in the palace? My little sister doesn't understand what's going on outside, but she also knows that there is no such thing as "too much support".

After all, His Highness is His Majesty's eldest son, and good fortune will be inevitable in the future no matter what, but what will happen if the father and son are really separated and Prince Yohitada is recognized by the entire court?Madam, we should live with less calculations as a family. If we really make trouble, who can make His Majesty change now? "

"You, just like Bing'er, you are also an inexperienced person." Li Hong angrily hit her personal female officer. She really didn't expect that she didn't get support.

"Your Majesty may not know that a few days ago, I went to Daming Palace to deliver supper, and happened to meet the third sister of the Zhao family. I heard her mention that Sister Dongfang is pregnant now, and she showed up just two months ago." Yuanchun's words surprised Li Hong. Get up, "Your Majesty still recognizes the original promise and allows His Highness to follow suit in the future."

"The surname is Dongfang, and this little guy is originally a dragon. According to the rules, a prince should be given a title. Now that he has followed the Dongfang family, he can just arrange the title of 'Marquis Weiyuan' when he attacks the title, and he can even add ' Hereditary, no replacement." Li Hong said quietly, "No wonder Bing'er has followed Rong'er since she was a child, but this time she turned around and followed that cruel and short-lived person."

"Empress, in my opinion, your majesty has no plot against His Highness Yongchang." Yuan Chun said softly, "I am afraid there is no one in the world who can take care of his family members like your majesty. Now that they are all in the palace, he doesn't even have the rules." I am willing to let the sisters set up, such a comfortable day, the slaves also entered the palace to serve at a young age, I didn’t even dare to think about it at the beginning, why bother.”

"Okay, your hoofs have really grown. I really regret asking you to serve him." Li Hong angrily pulled the female official into his arms and tickled her a few times, until Yuan Chun smiled softly in his arms. Well, "When it comes to treating my own women, I can't think of anyone who can be better than him. The Lin family's sister is weak, but he can take care of her like that."

"Pfft--" Yuan Chun couldn't help but laugh, "I have served the empress for so many years. I have seen countless secrets in the palace, but I have never heard of anyone doing it because of a woman. He is weak and always has someone to help him. I remember that your Majesty also promised that the eldest son of Sister Lin would take his mother's surname."

"Okay, let it be." Li Hong said with helplessness, her face flushed, "If you think about it so much, you might as well think about yourself."

Yuan Chun smiled tenderly, leaned into Li Hong's arms and continued chatting.
