"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince and the three princes are all at war, and the whole world is watching! You want to summon His Highness back now just for this matter... Not to mention, a general in the field may not obey the emperor's orders, and His Highness may not be able to return. If he does return and delays the war at the front, what should we do?"
"Outrageous! Is there no one left in our Great Yan? Can't we fight without him? What is the general here for?" Shu Zhongjing was so angry that he felt dizzy and sat down again.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. His Highness the Crown Prince is the rightful heir and is naturally indispensable. If anything were to happen to His Highness the Crown Prince, it would be a matter of great importance, affecting the very foundation of the nation and endangering the state!" This minister surnamed Huang was a close advisor to His Majesty and naturally knew of His Majesty's intention to depose the Crown Prince.
But can I say that?
Just the fact that these words are spread can cause unrest throughout the world.
Especially now, during a time of war, the people of southern Xinjiang are already in rebellion.
If these words get out, the Tuotuo tribe in the north might also rise up in rebellion.
At that time, wouldn't Dayan be beset by internal and external troubles?
If a prince gets into trouble, it only damages the royal family's reputation; but if the crown prince gets into trouble, the entire dynasty is in trouble.
Shu Zhongjing was also furious for a moment. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of this. He took a deep breath, but he still couldn't suppress his rage.
He swept the teacups off the table: "Since we can't investigate now, let's drag all those who serve me out and behead them."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty must not do this! Now that you are in Xianyu Prefecture, such a large-scale execution of eunuchs and palace maids will only lead the world to speculate. Your Majesty must not do such a thing!" Lord Huang said in shock.
"Fine, if this won't work and that won't work, then sitting on this throne is no fun at all!" Shu Zhongjing said angrily.
"Your Majesty! If the eunuchs around you have done something wrong, they should naturally be killed. But not now, not here!" Lord Huang was truly frightened.
Although he was merely the emperor's mouth and ears, he couldn't remain completely silent and offer no advice.
The emperor killed a group of eunuchs on the battlefield; it's not a good thing to say.
Shu Zhongjing was still not fully recovered, and his anger was so intense that he was in a terrible state.
So the eunuch hurriedly summoned the imperial physician.
Imperial Physician Weng advised, "Your Majesty's poison has not yet been cleared; you must not get angry."
His Majesty's illness is not only still present, but he also needs to recuperate for another six months.
In this situation, the last thing to do is to fly into a rage.
Shu Zhongjing was dizzy and lightheaded at the moment, and he didn't have the strength to be angry anymore, but the anger in his heart had taken root.
At this time, Shu Chengfeng was deep in the heart of southern Xinjiang. After half a month, he had barely adapted. But it was impossible for him to be completely adapted.
It took so many years to adapt; now, the so-called adaptation is nothing more than being able to endure it.
He was, after all, of noble birth; he had never suffered such hardship before. Yet he said nothing.
The three princes were the same; he remained silent, and they tolerated it.
Xie Yuan dared not send them to the front lines, as it would be disastrous if any of them got injured.
Shu Chengfeng always obeyed orders, and his symbolic significance here was greater than his practical significance.
With him around, he's the pillar of strength in the team.
With the Crown Prince by their side, the soldiers' morale soared to unprecedented heights.
In just half a month, they have already achieved quite a few results.
General Yan was also invincible. Although he suffered some minor injuries, they were nothing serious.
The entire campaign went smoothly.
Xie Yuan and his deputy generals predicted that the battle should be won by the beginning of winter.
The cold weather is a good thing, at least poisonous insects and ants won't be as active, and there will be far fewer mosquitoes.
After all, the biggest threat nowadays is not even the people of southern Xinjiang, but the mosquitoes of southern Xinjiang.
Shu Chengfeng learned of what had happened on His Majesty's side a few days later, but he didn't care. There were still some people who knew their place.
Over the years, His Majesty has had those thoughts, but even if his ministers are biased, they are also rational. So there is no need to worry too much.
Right now, nothing is more important than winning this war.
Temperatures in southern Xinjiang haven't dropped much, but the weather in Beijing is getting cooler and even colder day by day.
Finally, with a rain at the end of the month, autumn truly arrived.
When it's time to go out and pay respects, you'll need a jacket and cloak.
Just as they stepped out the door, before they even reached the Crown Princess, they saw a maid running up behind them.
This is not allowed in the mansion.
Upon seeing Yan Nan return, the maidservant was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down: "Please forgive me, Consort Yan. Our Zhaoxun has been mobilized. It was so urgent. This servant knows her mistake."
"Go ahead," Yan Nangui waved his hand.
The girl quickly got up to thank her and headed towards the main courtyard.
Sure enough, when Yan Nan returned to the main courtyard, the Crown Princess had already sent someone to Yihu Residence.
She said, "Xia Zhaoxun has started, so let's call it a day and go back. Don't go there for now."
This is probably to prevent trouble from arising due to too many people.
Everyone agreed; Yan Nangui was more than happy to go, but she was unwilling to go.
In Yihu Residence, Xia Zhaoxun was in great pain. Midwives were there, and the imperial physician had also been summoned.
She looks like she's about to give birth.
This is also related to a person's physical condition; some women can endure three days of labor without giving birth, while others give birth as soon as labor begins.
Before the imperial physician even arrived, Xia Zhaoxun was already in labor.
News arrived just after noon that the Second Princess had been born safely, and both mother and daughter were well.
Yan Nangui laughed: "Xia Zhaoxun is really lucky."
Jiangxiang and the others agreed, saying, "Indeed, if she gives birth to a son and the Crown Prince is not around, it's really hard to say whether she can keep him."
Now that it's a daughter, things are much better.
Xia Zhaoxun was relieved, knowing that with the current favor, she could have another child later. But having a son now was really not a good time.
With that thought in mind, I drifted off to sleep peacefully.
The second princess was in good health. She had been washed and wrapped up, and the Crown Princess had come to see her in person.
Xia Zhaoxun was also rewarded.
The Crown Princess breathed a sigh of relief. With this, both Xia and her daughter were safe, so that she wouldn't have trouble explaining things to His Highness when he returned.
Winter seemed to come a little early this year.
It's only the beginning of October, but it's already bitterly cold.
The wild geese returning south do nothing but offer greetings.
In her Jiyue Pavilion, there was naturally no shortage of charcoal fire, making it warm and cozy everywhere.
But the Fei Hong Yuan, just across the road, is quite different.
Originally, Xiao Liangyuan didn't really care about being fined half a year's salary.
How much could half a year's salary be? She herself didn't know how much money the people brought into the mansion, but she still carried it with her.
I'm confident there won't be any problems in six months.
However, she had lived a life of luxury in the past, and although she had inquired about some things in the Crown Prince's residence, what she heard and what she thought were different.
It's like someone who has never experienced the world, completely ignorant of any place, not only the things that are obvious, but also the rules underwater.
For example, the Crown Princess's obvious dislike for her, and the fact that she was fined for half a year, would lead to different attitudes towards her throughout the household.
She was a respectable woman, and as long as she wasn't punished and sent away, she would naturally still meet the rules.
