If it wasn't for Yang Chendong's repeated emphasis that now is the time of marching and fighting, and the environment is not conducive to having children, if it wasn't for the other three wives who were also silent, she might have been unable to bear it.
Of course, Hu Yan didn't know that Yang Chendong was partly responsible for not having children, and he tried his best to take various measures in terms of the house.Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want children, but it’s for the sake of the wives. He remembers reading a book in later generations, which says that the best age for a woman to conceive is between 22 and 23 years old. At that time, a woman’s body is at its best. when.But now, none of the wives were over twenty, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Of course, if he accidentally becomes pregnant, he will also be very happy, and he will take it very seriously.
She carefully helped Yang Chendong put on the iconic Tsing Yi, looked around, and when she was sure that everything was fine, Hu Yan nodded in satisfaction, "That's right, my Liulang is handsome."
"Haha, don't be so boastful." Hearing Hu Yan's exclamation, Yang Chendong couldn't help being happy.Even though he has a calm heart, he is very happy to be praised by his beloved.
Seeing that Yang Chendong seemed to be in a good mood, Hu Yan opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Yang Chendong saw this hesitant to speak, "What's the matter, is there anything we can't talk about?"
Now that Yang Chendong asked this question, Hu Yan said with some embarrassment, "Liulang, it's like this, we also want to go to the city to have a look, sister Xue has mentioned this matter to me twice, but considering You have been busy, so you didn't say, if you go to the city today, take us in to see if it's okay, don't worry, we know how to behave, and we will always have guards around us, besides, Tie Qingyi and the others are here, no Someone who doesn't have eyes will piss us off."
It was no wonder that Hu Yan made such a request. After all, she was a woman under 20 years old. She stayed in the military camp every day. At first, she was a little excited and curious, but after a long time, it was inevitable that she would become boring.So a while ago, the third wife Xue Niangzi asked tentatively if she could go to the Gaozhou mansion in front of her. Considering that she would not cause trouble for her husband, Hu Yan refused, but seeing Yang Chendong going into the city today, Then he thought about whether to go with him. After all, not only did he want to go, but sister Xue also wanted to go. Even if it was for her sister's consideration, she should say this idea.
Chapter 444 Preparing for the Meeting
"It's really hard for you." As soon as Hu Yan opened his mouth, Yang Chendong figured out what the problem was, and nodded immediately, "Then go to the city and have a look, Humang, and tell Tie Qingyi and the others to get ready. Also assign the First Guard to the two ladies."
"I don't want it anymore. Captain Tie and the others are enough. The first guard team should stay by your side." Hu Yan said with a refusal look.
"It doesn't matter, the second guard team has been trained a long time ago. Captain Daoxiao has complained to me more than once, saying that he is capable of leading the way alone. Let's give them a chance now. Besides, as long as Kuang Ye and the others don't have their heads If the donkey is kicked, I will definitely not dare to embarrass my husband and me."
"Hehe." Hearing Yang Chendong's last one-liner, Hu Yan covered her mouth and smiled lightly, knowing that it was for her own good and a show of concern, so she agreed, "Okay, then I'll put Tell sister Xue the good news, and make her happy."
After Hu Yan finished speaking, she really left the big tent, with a very happy expression on her face when she left.Looking at this scene, Yang Chendong also had to sigh, it's nice to be young.
Yang Chendong is still very satisfied with the relationship between the wives, but he also knows that it cannot be like this forever.Once they are older and their ideas are more mature; once they have children, conflicts of interest will naturally appear;When it really comes to that time, it may be impossible to imagine such an intimate relationship as it is now.
But after thinking about it for a while, Yang Chendong quickly shook his head, that was still a long way off, why bother to think so much now, let's think about the meeting with Kuang Ye first.
After receiving the information about Nanjing yesterday, Yang Chendong knew it despite being disappointed, and he also saw clearly the position he wanted in Zhu Qizhen's heart.
Others can become kings, but you can't do it yourself.From this point of view, how jealous the other party is of himself!
In other words, I have already formed such an impression in the other party's heart, and it may be difficult, or even impossible, to change it.Even if he disbanded the mercenary army now, it was just a temporary peace, and it was also impossible to want a lifetime of peace.
Once the opportunity is seized, if some tricks are created, it may be time for the army to come and be locked up.
In the final analysis, after the temptation of the king's request this time, Yang Chendong has already seen that Zhu Qizhen will not tolerate his own results.If this is the case, then he does not hold any illusions, and directly shows his powerful side, even if it is for self-protection, for the safety of his family and loved ones, he must have enough strength.
Of course, even after going through these things, Yang Chendong's strategy in his heart still remained unchanged.That is to encircle the Ming without attacking.
Even though Daming was divided into north and south, most of the common people's life is still passable.In the early Ming Dynasty, the social economy was restored and developed by the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle dynasties, and the social and economic prosperity appeared in the Renzong and Xuanzong dynasties.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, "the purchase was stopped, the injustice was rehabilitated, the tributes were all with the property, and the pool and the people benefited together."He ordered the cessation of troops to support the people, and stopped treasure ships from sailing to the West, and stopped the royal purchase of jewelry and other activities.These practices have eased social contradictions, allowed the people to recuperate, developed productive forces, and ushered in a stable and prosperous era.After Ming Xuanzong came to the throne, he quickly quelled the rebellion of the Han king Zhu Gaoxu, and continued Ming Renzong's philosophy of governing the country, implementing a policy of emphasizing agriculture, relieving famine and punishing corruption, continuing to reuse the "Three Yangs", resting troops to support the people, relieving famine and punishing corruption, making the Ming Dynasty The world is stable and the social economy is developing rapidly.
During their reign, they had clear politics, strict laws and regulations, economic development, abundant granaries, people living in peace, and social stability.Later generations called it the "Rule of Renxuan", which is comparable to the "Rule of Chengkang" in the Zhou Dynasty, the "Rule of Wenjing" in the Han Dynasty, and the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
If it weren't for the tenth year of Xuande (1435), Zhu Zhanji died at the age of 38.If the Reign of Renxuan ended here, even if Yang Chendong came here, he would show up with Da Cang, and it would be very difficult to make any achievements.
Facing Ming Dynasty, which is extremely powerful economically and militarily, if Yang Chendong wants to do something, it is tantamount to disobeying social development, and first of all, it will be unpopular.
It is precisely because Daming's foundation is so good that after experiencing the civil defeat and the chaos in the south, Daming's strong foundation is still there, and many people still return their hearts to the court, especially in the hearts of the people, Daming is still Very powerful and worthy of their dependence.
Under such a general environment, even if Yang Chendong could win the Northern and Southern Ming Emperors and rule the court, it is inevitable that there will be many complaints among the common people, and there should be quite a few people who even rise up.If this is the case, it is the internal strife among the Han people, which is a kind of powerful self-depletion, which is definitely not what Yang Chendong wants to see.
Will he lead them to dominate the world?In the future, they will feel extremely proud to be born in a Han family.Just like the people of country m in later generations, they don’t have to be arrogant wherever they go. Similarly, in other countries, if something happens to the people of country m, the local government’s attention is not completely different. This is what gives power to the people. benefits.
What Yang Chendong is after is an existence that is still higher than the people of country M. The place to conquer is too big, and countless pure Han people are needed to rule there.If it consumes too much in Ming Dynasty, even if it has such a territory, there will be no reliable people to manage it.Just because of this, he can't start a civil war in the territory of Ming Dynasty, where the Han people lived for generations.
At this point in his thoughts, Yang Chendong shook his head lightly. He believed that Zhu Qizhen would never know about his own thoughts, not only him, but other people would also not know, and they didn't even dare to think about it.But it cannot be denied that although Zhu Qizhen didn't know what he was thinking, such a pressing force made him unable to fight back, so he could only admit defeat.
Of course, while he has no choice but to accept everything, Yang Chendong must also actively ask for benefits. As long as it is not too much, the other party will definitely agree.Even if you want to contribute yourself, it is unreasonable not to give any benefits.
"Master, everything is ready and we can go." Humang asked for instructions again in the account.
"Let's go." Yang Chendong agreed, and walked out of the tent with big strides.
Gaozhou City.
Although the Miao Army's nearly [-] troops were stationed not far outside the city, under the comfort of Kuang Ye and others, the order in the city was still going on in an orderly manner.
This is the advantage of a capable minister, just like Kuang Ye, although he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is actually very capable of managing the place. This kind of all-around talent is also what the emperor likes. If Mingjun, there will be more room for development.
Speaking of which, if Kuang Ye was not too old and his thinking was a little rigid, Yang Chendong would have thought of tying him up and sending him to Chixian City to reform him for his own use.
Under the city tower of Gaozhou Prefecture, the city gate was opened instead of being closed a while ago.But what was different from the past was that the city gate was opened, and the people could not leave the city at will. Only some soldiers of the Ming army guarded here, and Kuang Ye, Guan Ying, Ma Wei, Yu Guang and others were with them.
They appeared here, naturally to welcome Yang Chendong.When they saw the army in camouflage uniforms approaching from a distance, Kuang Ye and the others arranged their own official uniforms and looked forward expectantly.
This time, although Yang Chendong's wish to become king did not come true, this did not hinder Kuang Ye's opinion of him.In their hearts, if anyone can solve the predicament and crisis in Southwest Nanming, then Yang Chendong must be the best candidate.
It's just that the emperor didn't agree to be crowned king, so Kuang Ye, as the minister of the Ministry of War, could only obey.While he is using today's opportunity to deliver the imperial decree, he also hopes to persuade Yang Chendong to put the overall situation first. Even if the emperor does not agree to you, if there is a good performance, the matter of being crowned king may not be impossible.
Of course, even Kuang Ye himself has no confidence in such a conversation, so that he is already the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he still has the official position of Prince Taifu, and he is already a first-rank official. When the carriage arrived, I still felt a little nervous in my heart.
Don't look at Yang Chendong who is only 21 years old. In Kuang Ye's heart, he can be considered as a contemporary, because this person is too smart. When talking about things with such a person, all cleverness can be avoided, but it is better to speak sincerely Some, and maybe a good result.
The luxury carriage was getting closer and closer. At a place 300 meters away from the gate of Gaozhou City, a company of elite cold fronts had rushed forward and took over the city defense here. gesture, and then the luxury carriage continued to move forward until it came to Kuang Ye and the others.
Seeing such a careful look in Kuang Ye's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew it wasn't because Yang Chendong was afraid that he would set some traps, but he just wanted to tell him in this way that the relationship between the two parties was far worse than It's as close as before, even when you make a request, you have to be a little bit measured.
The carriage finally stopped in front of Kuang Ye and the others, and then the tall Yang Ershen opened the curtain, and then Yang Chendong in Tsing Yi walked out of it.
Compared with the Yang Chendong I saw a while ago, this time his complexion has become much ruddy, and he seems to be more energetic. Of course, it is not enough to compare with the best state before.But the more he looked like this, the more he looked like he was just recovering from a serious illness, and the more he could prove that he had indeed suffered from a serious illness before.
Chapter 445 A Sudden Assassination
"Congratulations, Hexi, Lord Zhongdan's health seems to be much better." Seeing Yang Chendong walking out of the carriage like this, Kuang Ye smiled with fists in his arms, wanting to use this to draw him closer affection between the parties.
"Yes, thanks to the mercy of Jin Yiwei, otherwise, my country's father would have passed away long ago." Yang Chendong didn't laugh, but replied seriously.Just uttering this sentence, the faces of Guan Ying and the others on the opposite side changed drastically, turning red.
Yang Chendong was attacked and poisoned, and it was Jin Yiwei who did it. Wei Guang, the dead Jin Yiwei, personally admitted to this point.So even if Yang Chendong said it with nails in his words, Guan Ying and the others have no right to object, they can only lower their heads and say nothing.
Fortunately, he is still in Kuang Ye, this good minister of several dynasties has a strong ability to adapt, and he also said with a serious face: "Jin Yiwei's bold and reckless attempt to assassinate a hero, the old man has already reported to the emperor. Jin Yiwei has already been punished, and several of them have been dismissed from office, this can be regarded as the emperor's justice to Mr. Zhongdan."
Regarding this incident, Kuang Ye was not talking nonsense, but it really happened.But whether those who were dismissed from office have really lost their power, or just put on a show, only Zhu Qizhen knows.
Yang Chendong, who also got the news, heard Kuang Ye's words, a smile appeared on his serious face, and then he cupped his fists and said towards Nanjing: "Then, the Duke of the country would like to thank the emperor for his kindness."
There was not much respect in the words, if there were other eunuchs in charge here, it would be inevitable to scold them, but in Kuang Ye's eyes, all of this was perfectly normal.What's the matter, I have been wronged a little bit, why don't you say a few words to vent it?And as long as Yang Chendong is happy and is willing to help Nanming who is facing difficulties now, it doesn't matter how bad his words are, let alone that he hasn't said anything yet, it's just a little disrespectful.
Speaking of the word respect, it should be kept in the heart more than spoken out.Who wouldn't say nice words?Does that really count?
Kuang Ye has his own criteria for judging, so he didn't show anything at this moment, but made a gesture of invitation behind him generously.
