Imperial City, in Fengming Palace.

Ma Jin sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the small swaddle slats placed on the bed, he stretched out his hands and hugged the swaddle carefully, not daring to do anything extra. I am afraid that only new parents can experience the nervousness.

At this time, the little guy in the cradle was looking at Ma Jin curiously with his big eyes, perhaps because he was curious about who the person who was smiling at him was in front of him.

Ma Jin became more and more happy the more he looked at him. He couldn't help but kiss the little guy's crystal clear face and said with a smile:

"It's worthy of being my son. Look how clever you are. You will definitely achieve something great in the future."

Xiao Qiang'er covered her mouth and chuckled. Seeing the emperor doting on her son so much, she was naturally extremely happy and said:

"Your Majesty, what name do you want to give our prince?"

Ma Jin held his son and pondered for a moment before saying, "One Yuan started, everything was renewed. I had already thought about it, so I would like to give it a single name, Yuan. I hope that starting from Yuan'er, my Great Zhou will become more and more prosperous, dominate the eight wildernesses, and be powerful in all the seas."

So the name of the eldest son of the Great Zhou Empire was decided.

On July 21, the fifth year of Shenwu, the emperor returned to the capital and issued an edict, giving the emperor's eldest son the name Yuan, and granting the title of King of Liao, and immigrating the world!

...

When Ma Jinchu was a father, his mood was naturally self-evident. Anyway, he was so happy that he felt the most about such changes. The officials of the court were naturally the officials of the court, especially when the gods were surging.

You should know that the emperor in the past was very decisive and tough, but in recent days, Ma Jin has undergone subtle changes and is happy all day long. Those fencemen who were implicated by Ma Yu originally thought that the emperor would start a massacre after returning to Beijing, but who thought that in today's morning court, Ma Jin had no intention of being arbitrary. Instead, he asked Di Renjie to take the lead and the three departments of the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple to be tried.

The civil and military officials in the court were stunned for a moment. When was the emperor so easy to talk to? The officials were still a little disbelief and looked at each other and sighed:

"Your Majesty, it's really different since the eldest prince."

The ministers couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, and they naturally realized that His Majesty's style of conduct these days was indeed much gentler than before.

"Your Majesty has a son and a father, so it is naturally impossible to be the same as before."

"Yes, when have I ever seen Your Majesty so happy..."

"It can be seen how much the eldest prince is favored by His Majesty. He was still in his infancy and was named King of Liao."

"His Highness of the King of Liao is the queen and the eldest son of His Majesty, so he is naturally favored. From my opinion, His Highness of Liao will be crowned as the crown prince in a few years."

"How can I see it?"

"Your Majesty named the eldest prince the King of Liao. Where is the Liao Kingdom? In the past, the most powerful country in the Eastern Region was the most noble title besides my Great Zhou Kingdom."

"What's more, look at the name given to the eldest prince by Your Majesty, Yuan, the first one Yuan, the character Yuan updated by Wanxiang. What does this mean? This means that Your Majesty has already agreed that the eldest prince is the next emperor."

"From me, in a few years, the eldest prince will be crowned as crown prince by His Majesty."

"Yes, Your Majesty also inherited the throne as the eldest son of the emperor. Although there were ulterior motives like Ma Lin and Ma Yu peeking at him, Your Majesty's throne is still as stable as Mount Tai and unshakable. His Highness, as the eldest son of the emperor, is also a legitimate child, so it is absolutely possible..."

"... And Your Majesty loves the Queen... Everyone knows the world, how could there be a second candidate for the position of crown prince in the dynasty..."

"...So, Your Highness of the King of Liao is the future crown prince of my Great Zhou..."

"Ahem... You are so careful... You are discussing your Majesty's private affairs in public, you don't want to die..."

"So what if you talk about it? Your Majesty is a wise and sage lord who has never been seen in the ages. How could you blame him for his words? Besides, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, so how can you not discuss it? The selfless affairs of the heavenly family are the ultimate truth forever!"

For a moment, everyone was silent. Seeing this, the spoken official turned around and bowed to several cabinet bosses who were not involved in it and asked:

"My elders, can you say something right?"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others looked at each other, and Di Renjie immediately stroked his beard and smiled:

"Your Majesty is in his prime in the spring and autumn, but it is only in his prime. It is a bit too early to talk about the foundation of the country..."

The middle-aged official who asked the question stopped expression and showed a hint of panic in his expression. Di Renjie was so meaningless that he couldn't hear it. The emperor was only in his early twenties now, and now he was talking to the emperor about the foundation of the country. What would the emperor think? The middle-aged official had a numb scalp when he thought about it. He couldn't help but laughed awkwardly and said:

"What Master Di said is so abrupt..."

The other officials also came to their senses at this time and couldn't help but be so scared that they were silent and never dared to mention the matter of the crown prince again.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Wang Chengen suddenly trotted over and bowed to Changsun Wuji and others and said:

"My elders, Your Majesty has an order to let some of you go to Chaoyang Palace to talk!"

…………

In Chaoyang Hall, Ma Jin was reviewing memorials with a refreshing heart. It was not so bad. Since he had a son, he has become more and more motivated.

"Your Majesty, all the cabinet masters have arrived." Wang Chengen walked to Ma Jin in small steps and said softly.

"Let them come in!"

"Yes, your Majesty!"

In a short while, Changsun Wuji and his sixth men walked into the hall together.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Let's just flat!" Ma Jin waved his hand with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ma Jin looked at Changsun Wuji, Kou Zhun, Fang Xuanling, Di Renjie, Bao Zheng, Zhang Juzheng and Wei Zheng in the hall with leisure. With Li Shanchang and Su Qin who were working outside, Ma Jin couldn't help but sigh that these are all heroes of the generation. Now they are gathered under his command to serve. This is something that I can't even imagine.

"I have been on the expedition during this period, and the affairs of the court are up to my beloved ministers, and I have worked hard."

"I don't dare!"

The seven people quickly bowed and replied, Changsun Wuji stepped forward and took a step forward and said:

"Your Majesty is the duty that my ministers should do, and I really don't dare to take credit."

Ma Jin smiled slightly and said, "I know whether you have any achievements or not. OK, I won't say that anymore."

"Changsun Aiqing, can the talents selected for this examination be arranged in place?" Ma Jin asked directly.

Changsun Wuji's face turned solemn and said seriously: "Your Majesty, all the people who stayed in this examination have been arranged. The people on the list have been arranged as the second officer of the Grand Zhou Chong County and the county chief according to Your Majesty's wishes!"

"Soon, you guys are doing well in Changsun, and it's very much for me!" Ma Jin nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, the twenty-one states in my Great Zhou have 6700 counties and nearly 20,000 counties. These people are still a drop in the bucket. I am afraid that the foundation of the aristocratic family will not be shaken for a while." Kou Zhun said with a serious expression.

Kou Zhun's words made Ma Jin feel a headache again, and his territory was too big. This is not only the Liao and Song territories that have been included in the territory. I remember what a headache was the scene when the Han Empire unified the Eastern Region and had 72 states and more than 3,000 counties under its jurisdiction.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to make a long-term plan to deal with the affairs of the aristocratic family, otherwise the world will be in chaos." Di Renjie also stood up and said.

Ma Jin frowned, and he naturally knew that what Kou Zhun and the others were right. The aristocratic families had lived in this world for endless years, and there were even many aristocratic families that had been passed down for tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of years. The real and falsehood made you unable to figure out how powerful they were. Although he continued to suppress the strength of the aristocratic families, it only hurt some of their hair, which was far from being hurt.

Why did his behavior suddenly become gentle this time? It was not because of his son that he had a son that had eroded his spirit. There were too many forces involved this time, complicated and complicated. If he had a slight mishandling, it would be possible to cause unpredictable consequences.

If he really arrested all the people involved, he would probably stir up the nerves of the aristocratic families in the world and make these aristocratic clans who had already stood opposite him unite to fight him unprecedentedly, because no one wanted to die.

Even if Ma Jin has the confidence and strength to quell these rebellions, how much destruction will the world be, how many creatures will fall into the sea of ​​blood and fire, and the hegemony he had just completed will still be still in the womb. The cycle of reincarnation in the heavens is probably going to return to the origin.
