Wei and Jin Cooks

Zhao Shen does not need to report these things. Just look at the increasing number of contacts between Lingnan and the Central Plains. In addition, Yuanli's people are pervasive. The mutual trade in Lingnan is very small, but it is like stars scattered everywhere. It is difficult for Zhao Hanzhang not to know. .

Yuan Li made a special trip to Lingnan to make sure that Zhao Shen was just doing his duty and had no other ideas. Then he returned to Luoyang with confidence and wrote a complete report to Zhao Hanzhang.

When Yuan Li came to report, Zhao Hanzhang was discussing matters with Ji Yuan and other cabinet ministers in the study. This was a very small meeting, so His Royal Highness, who was about to turn one year old, was also here.

Mingming was very relaxed here. In order to let their mother and daughter cultivate their relationship, the Queen Mother sent people from time to time to ask if Zhao Hanzhang was busy and in a good mood.

As soon as he learned that she was not very busy and was in a good mood, he immediately picked up Mingming and left her in the palace to play for half an hour to an hour. When the child and Zhao Hanzhang became impatient, they immediately asked the wet nurse to take the child back to the harem.

So, in Mingming’s little mind, being with her mother was very relaxing, free and fun;

 In Zhao Hanzhang's heart, children are so cute and interesting, and it seems that raising children is also fun.

 The relationship between mother and daughter warmed up rapidly.

At this time, Mingming was crawling around in the temple. She could almost walk. She climbed up like a little crab on the beach and walked over.

 She climbed around the pillar twice and seemed to be interested in it. She stood up holding on to the pillar and touched the patterns on it.

Chasing the pattern, she unknowingly walked two steps holding on to the pillar. Her body swayed a bit, and she immediately stopped to steady her body. She seemed to have discovered the fun. After steadying her body, she held on to the pillar and walked slowly around. Zhuzi saw her mother sitting on it. She let go of Zhuzi and walked towards her mother with her little hands open. After taking two steps, her body swayed and she fell to the ground with a snap...

The ministers in the palace felt nervous. They first looked at His Highness, and then immediately turned to look at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang paused for a moment, and then continued, looking at the small ball lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

After Mingming fell down, she immediately looked up at her mother. Seeing that she wasn't looking over here, she immediately sat up with her arms propped up. She looked around guiltily and saw that no one was looking at her, so she quickly crawled towards her mother. …

She crawled to her mother's feet, pulled her legs and stood up, squeezed to her legs, raised her head to meet her mother's eyes, she smiled at her, and snuggled against her legs without moving.

 Zhao Hanzhang touched her soft head lovingly and held her in his arms.

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief quietly. His Highness was really cute and sturdy, and he didn't even cry at all.

Mingming saw the newly arrived Yuan Li and stared at him with a pair of round eyes.

Yuan Li saluted Zhao Hanzhang and then respectfully saluted Mingming. Then he sat down and reported on his investigation in Lingnan.

This time he was not only active in Guangzhou, but also quietly visited Jiaozhou and Ningzhou. He stayed at the junction of the three states for three days and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "The mutual market at the junction of the three states can be expanded, and we can use this to enter Jiaozhou and Ningzhou." Zhou, making the two places dependent on Guangzhou and the Central Plains and not daring to cause chaos again."

Ji Yuan said: "The education policy adopted by Governor Zhao is the best policy. The effect will not be seen in a short time. But in five or ten years, the first batch of educated children will grow up and they will no longer rely on brute force and instinct." If you act with wisdom and reason, know how to be loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous, the crisis in Lingnan will be lifted."

Ming Yu also agreed with Zhao Shen’s achievements in Lingnan over the past two years and praised him, saying, “A tiger father has no dog son, congratulations to Zhao Shangshu.”

Ming Yu was one of the officials who did not agree with Zhao Shen going to Lingnan to take office, because he felt that Zhao Shen was born in a family and might not be used to the Southern Barbarians' fighting style. Moreover, he was so nagging that he was afraid that he would eventually be assimilated by those Southern Barbarians.

Zhao Ming had a calm expression on his face, not too proud.

Mingyu looked away and slandered that the two generations of father and son in the Zhao family were a bit strange. The father suppressed the son and beat him, and the son just disobeyed his father.

Looks like they are unkind and unfilial, but in fact everyone knows that their father and son are models of kindness and filial piety.

 Zhao Hanzhang is also very satisfied with Zhao Shen's political achievements in Guangzhou. Like Zhao Ming, she plans to let him stay for a few more years to govern Guangzhou well. The best policy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.

“This year’s Royal Highness’s birthday banquet, please invite the governors of Jiaozhou and Ningzhou to come to the capital,” Zhao Hanzhang said: “Send a telegram and ask Zhao Shen to submit the documents to the governors of Jiaozhou and Ningzhou.”

 Wanting to strike while the iron is hot, Zhao Hanzhang also wanted to meet the governors of the two states.

Ji Yuan agreed, and Yuan Li was about to arrange for people to meet him along the way.

Jiaozhou and Ningzhou are not at peace internally. Since they dare to invite two governors, they will naturally not attack them, but this is not necessarily the case internally.

If the governors of Jiaozhou and Ningzhou were killed by the forces of the two states on their way to Beijing, the face of the imperial court would be too painful, and the resulting political struggle or even war would be the last thing they want to see.

 The imperial court must seize the initiative.

Zhao Hanzhang gave the goal, hugged Mingming and left, leaving the rest to Ji Yuan and others.

Jiaozhou and Ningzhou quickly responded via the Guangzhou radio station, saying that they would definitely go to Luoyang to attend the birthday banquet of His Royal Highness, and asked insinuatingly about the tribute the royal family wanted.

The governors of the two states suddenly became friendly, and Zhao Hanzhang did not embarrass them. He sent a message to them through the Guangzhou radio station. She did not need expensive tributes, as long as they brought the blessings of the people of the two states. If possible, they would talk to her then. To talk about the customs of the two states, just bring some common crops and seeds in their areas.

 Like them, only Beigong Jun was invited to Beijing to congratulate him.

Since Zhao Hanzhang ascended the throne, he has been guarding the border. This time he returned to Beijing mainly to meet the emperor, report on his work, and keep in touch with the emperor and his ministers.

Mingming's first birthday banquet was held very grandly. She didn't have a full moon banquet or a hundred-day banquet. This time, she officially met with all the civil and military officials. Even the old people in the Zhao family in Xiping applied through Zhao Song and Zhao Hanzhang. Come and participate.

 Zhao Hanzhang agreed.

At this anniversary party, she will officially name Mingming.

 That’s right, as the eldest royal highness of the Hua Kingdom, he has not yet decided on a big name a year after his birth, only a nickname.

The red cloth used to catch Zhou is spread in the Tai Chi Hall, and there is a big one. On it are the Zhou Zhou gifts sent by the Wang family, Princess Hongnong, Zhao Song, Zhao Hu and other tribesmen. It includes almost all the types of things that Zhao Hanzhang has known in his life. Now, everything that can be made to look good has been done.

 Some auspicious gifts are specially made to be particularly dazzling.

Zhao Hu was as good at understanding people as always, and knew that Zhao Hanzhang valued agriculture, so he sent a bunch of rice ears and wheat ears. The rice ears were made of gold, with plump grains and yellow-orange colors;

The wheat ears are carved from jade. The emerald green jade and the wheat ears are slightly drooping, which is also very beautiful.

 In fact, he wanted to send a golden abacus, but Zhao Song severely stopped him, so he had no choice but to give up, but Zhao Dong gave it away.

Angry, why can't he give it away, but Zhao Dong can?

Zhao Hanzhang brought the jade seal and put it on the red cloth, then placed it in front of Mingming.
