Qing'e Palace.
The snow was cleared away, and the sky cleared up around noon.
Huan Yue, supporting his pregnant belly, went out for a stroll.
The palace maids were busy bringing out all sorts of things to air them out, even though the sun hadn't come out yet.
In the east side hall, the brazier was used to dry all kinds of clothes and diapers.
We haven't used the diapers yet, but they need to be warm so the baby will be comfortable using them.
Huan Yue was dressed so thickly it looked like he was carrying a quilt. Looking at his belly, it was clear the kid had become well-behaved after getting a beating.
If he weren't perfectly fine, I'd suspect he had autism.
It's unlikely he's autistic. Would hitting him really have that much of an impact? He still needs to be hit.
I'm not afraid he'll become withdrawn; I'm afraid that so many people will flatter him and make him arrogant.
Although many outsiders wanted to step on him, they kept him at bay, and those around him were mostly cautious.
Besides, how good is his mother to him? If he remembers it after a beating, then you should give up on this kind of son as soon as possible.
Lady Yang followed the Empress and saw her suddenly stop.
Huan Yue felt her son move, then move again, and she said to Yang Shi, "He's about to give birth."
Yang blinked: "Labor pains?"
Huan Yue blinked; it didn't hurt much, but he felt the baby was about to come out.
Lady Yang thought it was quite amusing for the Empress to be like this, but childbirth was no fun at all.
Then get ready quickly! Whether it's true or not!
At a command, the Qing'e Palace began its final preparations.
Chao Yun was busy and stressed. She also had to prepare the royal bedchamber. Not only would she have a grandson, but there would also be space for the wet nurse to stay here for postpartum confinement.
The wet nurse was not usually in the main hall; she only came when needed.
After the Empress gives birth, this east side hall will be prepared for the wet nurse to stay in, so that she can be summoned at any time when needed.
Four wet nurses were prepared, although the Empress only wanted two.
Anyway, Xing Meiren is also pregnant, so let's not talk about that for now.
The four wet nurses also got busy, all wanting to perform the best and become the wet nurses of the emperor's grandson.
However, the Empress forbade them to fight secretly, and open competition was allowed if they were to win.
They didn't need to compete much; they just needed to show their best side. Besides, the Empress was so kind that not being able to be a wet nurse wouldn't be a great loss for them.
Shicui Hall.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing the news.
From now on, stay put in Shicui Hall and don't move around.
The Empress is giving birth; there's no need for them to come and help. They should stay here and guard the Eastern Palace.
Di Baose hurried to Qing'e Palace.
Is the Empress about to give birth?
Wearing a bright red cloak, Guo Bing felt that the mace was so light and airy that it could drive away any demons and monsters.
The eunuch whispered, "A few have moved."
Guo Bing nodded and left.
Di Baose, clutching her extravagant cloak, changed course and went in another direction.
It was almost noon, and the sun was about to shine down. Would any ghost dare to show itself?
When Cai saw Guo Liangdi, she hurriedly greeted her, "It seems there is a curse in the snow."
The snow by the lake was quite thick, and there were a few footprints covered by snow, but none of that mattered.
The eunuch quickly dug away the snow and saw that the newly buried object was the Empress's.
Di Baose saw a eunuch running around and immediately had him overturned!
Fang Tang came over to take a look and saw that this was not a eunuch but a tall and strong woman, somewhat like someone from the Great Stone Kingdom.
Women in the Great Stone Kingdom are generally similar to those in the Great Zhao Kingdom; those who are exceptionally tall and strong are exceptions.
It's another one from the Great Stone Kingdom. Di Baose ordered his men to drag them away and bleed them dry.
There are still people from the Great Stone Kingdom running rampant in this palace, so it's not a good time to investigate now, but the Eastern Palace has already banned them.
Xuanzheng Hall.
The argument hasn't ended yet this morning.
The question is how to govern the territories conquered by the Great Zhao.
How many troops are needed? And which civil officials are required?
What should be done if the local people rebel? Massacre is the most inhumane thing to do!
But that's what we do most often.
These people will cause a lot of problems if they are not killed. So, wielding a knife and hacking them to pieces is the cheapest way to do it.
I'm also worried about the next crop growing.
Benevolent governance, like being a good person, is sometimes very difficult.
If you treat him well, he'll take advantage of your kindness. If someone stirs him up, he'll want to declare himself king.
That would be more carefree, and the disaster it would bring to other people was not something they needed to consider.
Just like around Zichan Mountain, there are people who want to occupy land.
Some "wise men" from the Wunu Kingdom wanted to seize the lands conquered by the Great Zhao.
Xie Zhou had an idea: to recruit 100,000 to 200,000 able-bodied men from there to grow sweet potatoes in the country of Dele.
A strong man may be able to move to a different place, but the feeling is different when he leaves his hometown.
Even if the Great Stone Kingdom tries to deceive them, the Great Zhao can tell them that if they invade the Great Stone Kingdom in the future, they will be granted land, one hundred mu per person.
One hundred acres of land per person may not seem like much, but it's a significant amount for ordinary people.
The deception of the Great Stone Kingdom may not be true; the Great Zhao Kingdom could have done better.
This is much better than wielding a knife and hacking at people. With the departure of this group, the power of the Wunu Kingdom has been weakened, and they also have relatives to worry about.
This operation is somewhat difficult, but not too difficult.
Once a decision is made, it should be made as soon as possible, so as not to delay next year's spring planting.
With this calculation, time becomes extremely tight.
The message was passed down, and then the people were selected. Just the journey from Wunu Kingdom to Dele Kingdom would take several months, and they would need food along the way, as the roads were difficult to travel in winter.
But this can't be delayed year after year.
I hadn't originally planned to do it this way, but those people did it first.
Right now, all I care about is my eldest grandson; nothing else matters.
The eunuch ran over.
Even though he was standing in the corner, he looked very energetic.
It's hard to say for sure, since Consort Huan isn't in labor and is still practicing her mace skills.
Xie Zhou felt he could go back and have dinner with his wife.
Thinking about it now, it makes sense. If we can't resolve things properly, we can go back and continue. Let's think about what new things we can come up with.
Sima Yin still wanted to show off: "The land and people of my Great Zhao are enough! If my Great Zhao is strong enough, all nations will come to pay tribute!"
Isn't it better to submit and subdue the enemy without a fight?
Sima Yin was truly talented; he could speak eloquently and fluently, leaving his listeners feeling elated.
Lü Liang was almost asleep.
Overjoyed, Sima Yin prompted him, "What does General Lü think?"
Lü Liang asked, "With so many spies in the Great Stone Kingdom, should they submit or come to pay homage? Do you think Great Zhao is not strong enough, or are you incompetent? This won't do. If you had written a better article, making the spies in the Great Stone Kingdom confess on their own initiative, I would have been impressed!"
Xie Zhen asked, "Do you think Father Emperor isn't good enough? That's Father Emperor's problem. What are you for? Zhongwei could write articles like that too."
Fu Dingchen peeked out from behind. He could do it! He guaranteed to write something even more thrilling!
Huang Dian immediately believed it. Sima Yin's writing is good, but it's too superficial; it lacks the imposing presence of Fu Dingchen!
If you don't believe me, Fu Dingchen will recite a poem on the spot.
Today, the saying goes: "Keep it for important things."
Yes, Your Majesty!
Fu Dingchen was either a clever fellow or simply couldn't stand the Sima family's monkeys.
His appearance makes it easy for him to deceive those who don't know the truth.
How can relations between nations be so simple as bowing down and submitting to another?
Even after Dong Xu died, there were still people in the Dong family causing trouble; it's just that the emperor wasn't good enough.
Don't sages want things to be that good?
