Chapter 114 114

The Chongzheng Hall, the King of Chu and other royal family members of the Zhao family stood side by side in front of a large map covered with half of the walls, looking at Emperor Xuande in confusion. In the past, Emperor Xuande held a banquet in the Daqing Hall and talked there before the banquet. Today, on the Lantern Festival, we should enjoy the lanterns. What is the best view of the map?

Emperor Xuande couldn't hide his excitement. He stood in front of the map wearing 80% new homely robe, asking his younger brother, nephew and sons opposite him: "Guess what I asked you to come and do?"

When the King of Chu and others looked at the map again, they could only guess that it was related to major events in the court.

Emperor Xuande smiled, then stepped forward a few steps, gently placed his big hand on a piece of land in the northwest of the capital city of Yutu, and said in a chat: "I want to send troops to Jin State, what do you think?"

He still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were scrutinized to observe the King of Chu and others.

The emperor's uncle, King Qin, took a breath, and then began to ponder the map, probably not thinking about the answer for a short time. The princes of Wu'an, King Chu, and King Gong applauded almost at the same time, with excitement, and looked like a passionate man eager to serve the court. These reactions were expected by Emperor Xuande, and he smiled and looked at the other two sons who liked to study.

Zhao Heng frowned slightly, and King Rui wanted to speak but stopped.

Emperor Xuande asked the second brother first: "If you have something to say, you are all your own family, so there is no need to worry about it."

King Rui pondered for a moment, pointed to the Liao Kingdom at the top of the map and said: "In the six states of Jin, the two generations of emperors were all relying on worshipping the Liao Emperor as their uncle, and the father emperor was able to survive. If there was no support from Liao Kingdom, it would be easy for the father to take Jin Kingdom. But once we send troops to Jin, the Liao Emperor would definitely send troops to support him, I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? The Liao soldiers dare to support us, so we will fight together!" King Chu interrupted him with a vigorous aura, and King Gong nodded vigorously.

King Rui glanced at the King of Chu, and felt extremely disdainful. In his eyes, his elder brother, King Chu, was a martial artist, and only knew how to fight and kill. The courage of every man. What King Rui couldn't understand most in his life was why his father valued his elder brother so much. His uncle, Emperor Gaozu, was so powerful and martial. He did not even attack Jin State backed by that time. His father was a literati. He had never fought a war after ascending the throne. He had to fight Jin State with Liao State as his backer. How could he have a chance of victory? Once he failed, he would become a laughing stock.

But King Rui could not question his father in front of his father. He was about to find a more tactful reason, but suddenly he saw the father looking at King Chu with praise. King Rui felt a sudden thrill. He was immediately enlightened. The father was eager to attack Jin State and asked them to come and discuss in advance. The King of Chu and King Gong agreed, but he opposed it. What would the father think of him?

After thinking it through, King Rui promptly agreed to King Chu: "Brother's words are reasonable. If two brothers assist the father, attacking Jin will be like a tiger with wings." Fight, fight, he will not lose if he wins, and loses, the father will definitely vent his anger on the person who agrees today, and then he can show the wisdom of his opposing son.

The King of Chu smiled, holding his head up and his chest out.

Emperor Xuande finally looked at the old third king of longevity who had been silent.

Zhao Heng looked at the map and said, "You can fight, but the key is to fight aid."

The King of Chu nodded repeatedly, and King Rui sneered in his heart, "Isn't this a nonsense?" Jin and Liao are weak, and the fool knows to cut off the reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom."

Emperor Xuande was quite surprised. He always thought that the third brother was obsessed with studying, but he didn't expect to have insights on the war. Knowing that the third brother could not explain the specific reinforcements, Emperor Xuande said seriously: "About this battle, you will write a memorial to me when you go back and submit it to me tomorrow morning. By the way, what does the King of Qin say?"

The King of Qin smiled: "My brother doesn't understand war, I will listen to the emperor's brother."

He has always had this temper, and everything is followed by Emperor Xuande. Emperor Xuande glanced at his younger brother with a grudge and led the six people back to Daqing Palace to celebrate the festival.

At the same time, in the middle palace, the princess of Chu Feng Zheng also came back from the clean room. Song Jianing had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Feng Zheng sat down, she leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Does my sister-in-law have you again?"

Feng Zheng's cheeks were slightly red and she replied softly: "It should be true. I'll ask the doctor to take the pulse tomorrow. I'll tell you if I'm sure."

Song Jianing looked at her flat belly and congratulated enviously: "Sister-in-law is so awesome." Good news came soon after entering the door. The first child was still a son, so there was no need to worry about having a baby in the future.

She was stupid, and the envy in her eyes was about to overflow. Feng Zheng joked with a funny look: "Look at you like this, are you anxious? Don't worry, look at the third prince's pampering you, it may be my turn to congratulate you next month."

Song Jianing was not pregnant yet, and was teased that he was a little hot-faced. He lowered his head and pretended to be drinking tea. The thought in his mind was his current husband. The prince was so brave that she couldn't take it every time she gave it to. Afterwards, she would always get a lot outside, and sometimes more than once a night. If this continues, she should have news soon, right?

Looking at her lower abdomen, Song Jianing suddenly felt very greedy. She wanted to have a child as soon as possible. As long as the prince did not dislike him, she liked his son and daughter. With the child, she would not feel bored in the palace.

After the banquet, Song Jianing, Feng Zheng, Princess Rui, and Princess Qin went in front together. The wet nurse followed her with her sleeping brother Sheng'er. Lanterns were hanging everywhere in the palace, but the light was still dim. From a distance, she saw a tall figure in front of her quickly walking towards her, and she couldn't see clearly.

The Princess Qin smiled and guessed: "It must be the King of Chu, and he is here to pick up his wife and son."

Feng Zheng smiled shyly, and was close to him. It was indeed the King of Chu.

The three of them slowed down and walked slowly behind. The couple's soft voices clearly reached the front. Song Jianing heard the King of Chu ask Feng Zheng if he was cold. Feng Zheng smiled and said it was not cold. It was very ordinary, but it was warm and enviable. Song Jianing couldn't help but look forward, and walked a distance for a while. Finally, he saw four men standing under a lantern, King Rui, King Qin, and Prince Wu'an standing together, with slender and tall figures like bamboo standing alone in the darkness. It was her man.

Song Jianing felt a little warmer, but the next moment, he saw King Rui and the other two walking towards them, greeting their princesses separately, but her King Shou was motionless and turned his head toward this side.

For some reason, Song Jianing suddenly felt a little cold and his steps slowed down unconsciously. After the Qin couple passed by the King of Shou, she came to him. The man looked at her silently. Song Jianing forced a smile and asked with concern: "Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, are you cold?"

"No." Zhao Heng said simply, looking back, seeing his brother and sister-in-law's pace was surprisingly slow, and then said, "Let's go."

Song Jianing nodded and followed him. From time to time, laughter from the Princess of Qin and Princess of Wu'an County came from behind. The loud voice of the King of Chu was followed, making them lonely in the middle. Song Jianing tried to find something to say, but except for Feng Zheng's possible pregnancy, she didn't know what to say. But now in the palace, it is not suitable to talk about Feng Zheng's private affairs.

The palace road was long and silent. Finally, I walked out of the palace gate. The King of Qin and others had already left. Zhao Heng helped Song Jianing and sent her onto the carriage. He followed him.

There were only two of them in the closed carriage. Song Jianing held the hand stove and laughed softly: "Sister-in-law may have good news again."

Zhao Heng had something to do in his mind. When he heard her speak, he nodded and didn't really care.

Seeing that he looked ahead and thoughtful, Song Jianing did not dare to disturb him anymore. He turned his head to look at the slightly shaking curtains, and was ecstatic alone.

When he arrived at the Shou Palace, Zhao Heng helped her get out of the car, stopped when he walked to the front yard, looked at her and said, "I have something to do, I can't go, so you can rest."

Song Jianing responded and subconsciously looked at Eunuch Fu, what's wrong with the prince?

Eunuch Fu did not go to Chongzheng Hall, and the master did not reveal any clues, so he could not help. Song Jianing had to go back to the backyard with confusion. Tonight was not the day to sleep in separate rooms, and on the Chinese New Year's Day, no husband would ask his wife to sleep alone even if he was to be separated. The night was getting deeper and deeper, Song Jianing tossed and turned, touching the place next to him, and the expectation for his children at the banquet was like a layer of autumn frost falling, and it became colder little by little.

In the study room in the front yard, Zhao Heng also had a more detailed map of the Great Zhou. It was already dark in the night. He stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the border between Jin, Liao and Zhou dynasties. After standing for half an hour, he walked to the desk and wrote it with a serious expression. It was almost the second day after writing. After reading it again, Zhao Heng suddenly frowned.

He wanted to contribute to the attack on Jin, but he did nothing in normal times, and suddenly...

After reading the memorial in his hand again, Zhao Heng smiled, put it away, and took a blank sheet. The court was full of talents, and he might not have lacked this strategy. If nothing was left, he would have to offer it to his father for the Great Zhou plan. If someone coincided with him, he would not have to do this again.

The second memorial was almost all empty words, and it was written very quickly, and Zhao Heng only took one cup of tea.

As soon as I put down my pen, the second update sounded from the street.

Zhao Heng walked out of the study room, and there was a bright moon in the night sky, and the moon was bright.

"On the Chinese New Year's Day, the moon is fifteen rounder than usual." Seeing that the master was interested in enjoying the moon, Eunuch Fu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Zhao Heng's brows, which had already been frowning due to state affairs, immediately tightened again, and blamed himself for spending the war memorials and forgot to celebrate the festival tonight. However, it was the second day, so she must have been asleep, right?

Eunuch Fu secretly observed his master's expression. Seeing that his master was thinking about the wrong way again, he lowered his head and whispered: "Prince, it's late at night and the moon is just right. Why don't you appreciate it with the princess? Such a beautiful moonlight, the princess is used to going to bed early, maybe she has never seen it." What are you thinking about? What the princess is most looking forward to now is the prince to accompany her.

Zhao Heng glanced at him and walked straight to the backyard.

The gatekeeper was locked. When she heard the voice of Eunuch Fu, she was shocked. She jumped to the ground before she opened her eyes. She quickly put on her coat and ran to open the door. When she went to the room, Song Jianing was not asleep. When she heard the movement in the yard, she raised her head blankly. Until the sound of Liu'er greeting the prince came from the door of the main room, Song Jianing sat up in shock.

The footsteps came quickly. Song Jianing hesitated for a moment, but he still slammed back into the quilt and lay facing inside.

The prince asked her to sleep. If she found out that she was awake in the middle of the night, would she guess the reason why she couldn't sleep, and then she felt that she was not open-minded enough?

Song Jianing tried hard to adjust his breathing and refused to reveal his feelings.
