Chapter 686: Good news

In three days, more than seventy confessions of the guilty guilty had completely fallen into Chen Ao's hands.

Touching the stack of confessions, Chen Ao understood that the confessions sent to the palace would definitely be another turmoil. Without further ado, Chen Ao knew that he could not delay any more. He immediately went to sea from the Xinghua Army's military port and left back.

This trip to Fujian Road was almost the easiest trip for Chen Ao. Although Shangfang's sword was stained with blood, it did not disturb his interest.

It took only seven or eight days to arrive at Suhang, and then continued to take a boat north along the canal. Chen Ao didn't know that the whole of Bianjing was already in panic at this moment.

Everyone knows that King Pingxi Qin ordered to go to Fujian Road, but it was a matter of fear that everyone would find out what was found from Fujian Road. Whether it was military pay, or the former officials of the Cai family, or some officials with close ties with the Cai family, they all became ants on the hot pan at this time. If it were someone else, it would be nothing. This hornet's nest would not dare to go to the bucket, but King Pingxi is different. This guy has a nickname called Langzi, who dares to do anything.

However, Li Bangyan spoke in the village, and he vaguely meant that he would not worry about it. He tried his best to bear the big relationship. This Li Langzi, who was usually kind to others, immediately gained favor from many people, and many people were desperate at this time. In addition, Li Bangyan was at its peak, so there were carriages and horses in front of the Li family. He sent them one by one. He was shameless and signed a lackey under the name of the sect.

It would be nothing if Cai Jing's subordinates were said to be. After all, Cai Jing has been in charge of the country for decades and has promoted countless officials. However, Li Bangyan is even lower in qualifications than some people. Such flattery is a bit unreasonable.

Li Bangyan was as if he was bathed in spring breeze and comforted everyone. The officialdom of Bianjing finally settled down.

But I heard that Cai Jing was seriously ill, but at this time the Cai Mansion was deserted. Instead, Li Bangyan went to visit him. Li Bangyan knocked his head and only some of Cai Jing's disciples were willing to go, but they didn't leave much, and left after leaving the gift.

There was no news in the palace, but it was already May, and the princess was already six months pregnant in Xixia and was about to give birth in another April. This matter is very important. Longxing Mansion is waiting, and Zhao Ji seems to be waiting too. If he is really a man, according to the secret agreement, it will be a great joy for Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji was in a little refreshed mood. It was obviously Li Bangyan who was good at doing things in the village, so he let him come out of Cai Jing's shadow. It turned out that there was no Cai Jing, and someone could replace him. He specially called Yang Jian and said to Yang Jian: "Why haven't An Ning entered the palace these days?"

Zhao Ji was quite fond of An Ning. Although he was married, An Ning always had to enter the palace every three or five days. Sometimes when he went to the empress dowager, if Zhao Ji had time, he would sit down. At this time, he thought of An Ning and couldn't help asking.

Yang Jian also heard some wind and said, "Princess An Ning seems to be in discomfort. There is a man from Chen Mansion this morning who invited an imperial doctor."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but frown: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty, what I was going to say, but the person who came just said it was a minor illness. Just take a look at it casually and dare not disturb the Shengting."

Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You go and see if Chen Ao is not at home for three days or two days, leaving a wife who is sick at home and no one takes care of her. I will scold him a few words next time."

Yang Jian said in his heart that Chen Ao went out far away and was obeyed the imperial order. However, he did not dare to say this. No matter what the emperor said, it was right anyway. So he hurriedly ordered to go.

Zhao Ji was a little uneasy in Wenjing Pavilion, so he didn't have the interest to read the memorial. He lay alone on the soft couch for a while. After half an hour, he heard Yang Jian's footsteps coming quickly and said loudly: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Ji was excited, frightened by his roar, and immediately sat up. At this time, Yang Jian was already jogging in and gasping heavily and said, "Your Majesty... yes... yes..."

"What's there?" Zhao Ji frowned even deeper.

Yang Jian slowed down and said, "The Princess Pingxi is happy."

Zhao Ji skipped a beat. He originally thought it was Chen Ao's problem, otherwise why did so many wives not give birth to one or half daughters? Later, when the princess Xixia grew bigger, he was angry that Chen Ao was mostly 'unfavorable'. However, it was hard to scold the father-in-law and son-in-law, so he had to keep it in his heart. Now when he heard this news, he felt that this child was hard-earned. There were so many children in his family and some princes gave birth to the emperor. Zhao Ji liked it very much before, but when there were too many emperors, he became indifferent. The big reason for the heavenly family was too many children. For example, Zhao Ji, the prince and grandson exceeded the three digits. In addition, the concubines in the harem were much weaker. At this time, there was an indescribable comfort, and he said happily: "Is it a man or a daughter?"

Yang Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty... it's still early to give birth."

Zhao Ji then woke up, smiled and said, "I will send an order. I will leave the palace tomorrow and go to the Prince's Mansion of Pingxi. I will immediately ask someone to send a message to the Queen Mother. Concubine Shu also wants to send a letter to her, so that she can enjoy joy."

Pingbai has a grandson, and An Ning and Shen Ao's children, which naturally has different meanings to Zhao Ji. He paced back and forth for a while and said, "I'll give you a congratulatory statement to the Ministry of Rites."

To give a congratulation, only the palace has this qualification. A princess has to give a congratulation even if she has a child. This is a bit too much. Even Yang Jian felt that it was a bit inconsistent with the rules and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty... I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows and said disrespectfully: "I will say it right." A glimmer flashed in his eyes, as if he had been intent. Seeing Yang Jian confused, he said, "You find a place to sit down and I will talk to you."

Seeing that Zhao Ji was in high spirits, Yang Jian stopped saying anything, and sat down with a smile, not forgetting to say, "Congratulations to Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji waved his hand and calmed down: "Don't be busy congratulating me for now. I still have something I haven't let go of." He seemed smart again and refused to suffer losses: "I ask you, if these two children are both men, does Chen Ao have two princes?"

Yang Jianhe said, "Your Majesty is right. One is the prince of the Western Xia Kingdom, and the other is the prince of my Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ji seemed a little unhappy and said, "Not good."

Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat. His Majesty was still happy just now. Why couldn't he say it again? He immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is a happy event, it's the best thing."

Zhao Ji said with a stern face: "I am not talking about this, I am talking about it. Two princes must have a prince."

Yang Jian woke up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty means that the Xixia Kingdom...hehe... the prince is the eldest son, and in the future he will be the crown prince of Xixia Kingdom, this prince..."

"That's right." Zhao Ji's eyes became cold and stern: "The grandson of the King of Xixia has become the prince. My son, the prince's grandson, will be just a concubine's son in the future. Not only will the face of the Tian family be gone, but I can't explain it to An Ning."

Yang Jian suddenly realized that this matter was not small. The most important thing in the palace was face. Since Xixia had already been called a vassal, Zhao Ji was the sect leader. How could the vassal state beside the sect leader? Besides, An Ning was favored since childhood, so how could the court ignore her?

If it were someone else, Zhao Ji would solve the problem if he had given him a decree. However, this matter was very difficult. If he forced the prince, he would definitely make trouble there. After all, he was the crown prince of Xixia and the eldest son, so how could he be behind a second son? It would be unreasonable to say it.

This is really a dilemma. The Xixia Kingdom cannot make them dissatisfied. If the crown prince of Chen Ao's eldest son is taken away by then, it will be even more unworthy of the loss, but this position must be pursued.

Zhao Ji said meaningfully: "I ordered the Ministry of Rites to submit a congratulatory statement, which means that the son is noble and peaceful. Give him a name first, and then he will make a fuss. I heard that Li Ganshun is also a smart and capable person. I am afraid that this person is not easy to deal with, but..." He smiled unaware and said: "No matter what, I cannot suffer this loss."

Yang Jian said: "Your Majesty means that the Ministry of Rites has submitted a congratulatory statement, so the six ministries are naturally indispensable, and there are also various vassal states?"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "As long as the Western Xia Kingdom also gave a congratulatory letter, this means that the Western Xia Kingdom recognized the preciousness of this child, and decided to set the identity first, so that the eldest son and the second son could go hand in hand. Immediately issued an order, and the Ministry of Rites first gave the congratulatory letter and informed the people of the province to leak the news. This child took the example of a prince, not only all departments, but also all vassal states, but also all consort countries. As for the congratulatory letter of the Western Xia Kingdom..." Zhao Ji's eyes flashed. He said slowly, "Chen Ao, please return to Beijing. He is the King of Western Xia and the envoy of Xixia. I have something to say, "Go and let him tell him about the congratulations of Xixia." He clenched his fists, as if Chen Ao was right in front of him, and he wanted to threaten and tempt him. He said viciously: "Tell him again, I will read the congratulations of Xixia in person. If it is not well written or perfunctory, I will not forgive him."

Yang Jian looked bitter and thought to himself that if he had given birth to a son, he would also write a congratulation to others to celebrate his son. This...

However, he also knew Zhao Ji's thoughts. The most important thing about Zhao Ji was face. This congratulations would be related to the prince's competition in the future, and it would be difficult to stop at that time, so he said, "Yes, I'll do it now."

As he was speaking, he heard the eunuch outside whisper: "The Empress Dowager is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Empress Dowager had already stepped in and opened her mouth and said, "I heard from the Ai family that An Ning is happy?"

Zhao Ji immediately stopped thinking, stood up obediently, and said, "Yes, the news just arrived."

The Empress Dowager said happily: "In the past, she always said why didn't she be pregnant? How could she say that she had it? Let's go to the Pingxi Palace to take a look."

Zhao Ji said aiqi: "Mother, will you go again tomorrow? It must be getting late."

The Empress Dowager said calmly: "Now I am going to bring An Ning into the palace. The people outside are clumsy and do not know how to serve them. Naturally, they can only take care of them after entering the palace."

When Zhao Ji heard this, he felt it made sense: "Set up and take the person back to the palace." Then, he gave Yang Jian a wink: "Yang Jian, go and do your business first."
