"The official family, the queen and all the empresses are here!" Su Lan walked into the study and poured tea for the little emperor, and reported it by the way.

"Oh, what are they doing?" Zhao Bing replied without raising his head.

"Official family, Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I think it's a matter of negotiation and reward!" Su Lan said with some uncertainty.

"I have to ask me about these things, so that the queen and the concubine can discuss it!" Zhao Bing said with a frown. Mid-Autumn Festival was a very important festival in ancient times. According to the convention, the emperor should give him gifts and give him winter clothes and some seasonal things to show the emperor's grace. In the past, the empress dowager was worried about these things, and after the wedding, the empress dowager handed over the power to the empress.

"It's better to go over and take a look. The queen is also worried about something wrong. Besides, the queen and the imperial concubine are pregnant and should not work hard!" Su Lan knew that the little emperor was very angry about the Western Expedition these days, but she still smiled and advised.

"Oh, I'm pregnant and walking back and forth, it's really not worry-free everywhere!" Zhao Bing raised his head and rubbed his temples. Since Wen Tianxiang led the team to set off, he was in anxiety, thinking about what he had not told me before leaving, whether there would be any risks on the way, whether there were any mistakes in the combat plan, whether the Yuan army had discovered their intentions, where they were going today... Wait, anyway, all of them were full of these things, even if they didn't want to, they still appeared in their minds uncontrollably, and they would even wake up suddenly at night, which made him feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Official family..."

"Okay, I will go after reviewing these emergency documents!" Seeing Su Lan's half-resentful and half-cool look, Zhao Bing nodded helplessly. It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, and as usual, it's also a day of rest. Officials from various provinces and ministries also want to settle what they have at hand as soon as possible and take a safe vacation, so they report one after another, and his case is piled up like a mountain.

"In this way, I will report it as I do!" Su Lan said with relief after hearing this. How could she not notice the changes in the emotional changes of the little emperor, and naturally she also knew what was worried about her. In the final analysis, she was still worried, although she didn't know it.

"Yes!" Zhao Bing nodded and rushed to the little yellow door who was serving beside him, "Why has the poster from the Ministry of War not arrived yet? Go to the imperial office to ask!"

"Yes!" Xiaohuangmen immediately went out and trotted.

"The official family, Wen Xiang has only been away for five days, and there are still some days to come to Ezhou!" Su Lan sighed softly.

"I know, but I'm worried that there will be delays on the road and Wen Xiang will not be able to arrive on time, which will miss the big thing." Zhao Bing replied while reviewing the memorial. He knew that there were too many unexpected situations in boating on the water, and the water current and wind direction may affect the speed of boating, and the accidents are even more difficult to predict. There is no real-time communication system at present, so everything can only be transmitted from the post station to learn about the situation, but the information sent by the post will be delayed, especially as the distance increases, the delay will become more serious. If an accident occurs there, when he learns the news, there will be no idea what has deteriorated to the point.

"The officials are too worried. Since the matter of the expedition to the West is handed over to the right prime minister and there are elite soldiers and generals under his command, the officials just wait for the good news, and there is no need to interfere too much!" Su Lan persuaded softly.

"Official family, the post of the Ministry of War!" At this time, the little Huangmen came in panting and sent a copy of the article to the passage.

"I will go there after seeing it. Sister, go back to the queen first!" Zhao Bing took it over and turned it over, looked up at Su Lan and said.

"Yes!" Su Lan saw that the little emperor buried his head in the document again, and seemed to have not listened to what he said at all, so she could only sigh and retreat.

"Is it because I'm really too worried..." Zhao Bing muttered thoughtfully as he looked at Su Lan's back as he left the study, but he felt that he was not like this in his heart...

It was said that it was a while, but after Zhao Bing reviewed the urgent report and read the poster sent by the Ministry of War, it was more than an hour later. The queen and others did not go to Furonggang. This place was not far away, just east of Zhiyuan Hall. It was said that it was a man-stacked earthen ridge that was only two meters high, with various hibiscus flowers planted on it.

Zhao Bing went out of the door, waved his hand and stepped back the small yellow gates that followed him, and walked along a wooden plank road towards Furonggang. In the middle of autumn, it was the sky and clouds and the air was clear and cool. He was excited when he walked on the path, and then he sighed that his ancestors were really able to enjoy and play. The lotus trees all over the mountain were in bud, and when it was late autumn, there would be a hundred flowers blooming. People walked along the undulating plank road, as if they were blending into a sea of ​​flowers.

After walking a while, there was a platform for viewing the scenery. Before Zhao Bing saw it, he heard Yingying and Yanyan laughing. He opened the flowers and looked over, but when he saw his concubines playing there, a smile appeared on his face and felt more warm. Strictly speaking, these people are their relatives in this world. After a while, they will have a few children, and they will have more responsibilities on their shoulders.

"Your Majesty is here!" But the sharp-eyed little yellow gate saw his figure and proclaimed loudly.

"Okay, it's like a soul!" The playful sounds over there came to an abrupt end, and Zhao Bing's soothing mood was immediately destroyed, and he couldn't hide it anymore. He could only walk out and said unhappyly.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Hearing Xuan's shout, Wu Xi and others immediately stood up and bowed.

"No gifts, sit down!" Zhao Bing turned into a white board again as if he had changed his face, and raised his hand and said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter? I've had a lot of things these days!" Zhao Bing sat down and glanced at everyone, but after a while, no one spoke, but his eyes were all looking at him, and he asked with a frown.

"Official family, this is a list of rewards from officials in Beijing for Mid-Autumn Festival. I have discussed it with the imperial concubine, and I will also ask the official family to take a look!" Wu Xi presented a document and said.

"Well, Wen Xiang led his army to an expedition this time, which can be increased a little compared to previous years, so the rest of the people will be the same!" Zhao Bing didn't even look at the dense pages, and read them briefly.

"Yes, I have recorded it!" Wu Xi took it and handed over another list and said, "This is the list of good women selected by me and others to enter the palace for the officials and promoted female officials in the palace. Please read it by the officials!"

"I have already issued an oral order to stop the talent show and let the palace maids leave the palace. Haven't you told you?" Zhao Bing took the list but did not look at it. Instead, he looked at Su Lan who was standing beside him, frowned and said even more tightly.

"This..." Su Lan looked at the queen and hesitated for no reason.

"The government, Shanggong Ling has reported to me, but now the imperial concubine, Defei and I am pregnant, cannot serve the government, and there are many absent positions in the harem and need to be managed. Some people should be added to serve the government, so they made a decision without authorization. However, it did not disturb the people. They just selected some women of the right age in the government's homes, and then selected a few from the palace maids!" Wu Xi saw the emperor's angry face and quickly explained.

"The queen is better!" Zhao Bing's expression was slightly slowed down when he heard this, but he still said angrily.

"Officials, I am not against the will of the saint, but..." Wu Xi sighed and apologized. He also complained in his heart. Everyone said that the queen has a high status, but he did not know the suffering. It is her responsibility to enrich the harem. If the election is stopped, someone would say that she was "jealous" for the sake of favor and hinder the saint from raising offspring. However, according to the rules, he met such a "stingy" emperor who refused to enrich the harem and even drove people out of the way, which made it very difficult for her to do.

"I know you have good intentions, but you can't make a decision." Zhao Bing interrupted him impatiently and explained, "Su Lan has served me for many years and has won my heart. So I will promote Concubine Hui to assist the queen in handling the affairs of the palace, so the others will be spared!"

"Yes, I follow the order!" Wu Xi also breathed a sigh of relief. She also knew that the palace was not a paradise, but also a battlefield for fighting between aristocratic families and bureaucrats. Who knew that any newcomer would be favored and threaten her status. Although Su Lan served the emperor since childhood and was deeply trusted, her family had long been lost in the war and could not cause any trouble without external assistance. She was always better than multiple opponents.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Su Lan was stunned when she heard this. Although she had known Your Majesty's wishes and had also received a promise, when the emperor spoke in person in front of the concubines, she was still very excited and hurried forward to thank him.

"No gift!" Zhao Bing smiled and raised his hand.

"I'm congratulating my sister!" Wu Xi and others congratulated Su Lan one after another. Su Lan was also busy giving gifts one by one, but did not feel arrogant because of this.

"Congratulations to Concubine Hui!" After everyone's greetings, the little yellow sect and the palace maids who were attending the surrounding area also congratulated each other. But they were in different moods. Some people felt that it was natural for them to be able to do what they are today. But some people couldn't help but feel sad. They entered the palace as a captured maid but were promoted again and again. Today they were given a title and reached the sky in one step. It really made people feel lucky, but they didn't expect the hard work they put in.

"The official family, Mid-Autumn Festival is the season for watching the tide, everyone wants to go and watch together!" Seeing that His Majesty's expression was a little slow, Chen Shu said at this time.

"You are pregnant, what if you are frightened? You still have to make such a mess. Besides, the stormy waves in the sea are more spectacular than the Qiantang River tide, so what can I appreciate?" Zhao Bing refused without thinking.

"The official family is really boring. It is said that the city is empty and the streets are very lively when watching the tide!" Chen Shu argued.

"No! Even if I go to watch the tide, I will not take you with me!" Zhao Bing glared at him and said flatly. But when he was used to the strong winds and waves on the sea, he naturally had no interest in the tide.

"It was because the official family could not personally conquer Sichuan and Shu that they exhaled all their anger on you. They gave them a stern face to show it to anyone!" Chen Shu was dissatisfied and stood up and said angrily.

"..." As soon as Chen Shu finished speaking, the field immediately became quiet. Everyone looked at the little emperor, and saw that his face was gloomy. Although he didn't speak, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. These days everyone knew that His Majesty was busy with the Western Expedition and often lost his temper. He also understood in his heart that he was depressed to not be able to fight in person, but no one dared to scream, worried that he would do his own thing, but now Chen Shu pointed it out in anger.

"Haha, if you don't say it, I forgot it!" After a while, Zhao Bing laughed dryly.

"Officials, I don't mean this..." Chen Shu actually regretted it as soon as she said that, but at this time she didn't know how to defend herself, so she could only wave her hands repeatedly.

"No, no, this proposal is very good, it suits my wish. Why didn't I expect it to bother me for a long time!" Zhao Bing also waved his hand and smiled.

"This... this is really not my original intention. Please take it back!" Chen Shu was so regretful that she was about to die. She was about to stay in tears. She blushed and stood up and saluted.

"The official family must not have the idea of ​​personally expeditioning. If there is a mistake in the official family, what will happen to me? Even if I don't think about me, I should think about my sisters' children who have not yet appeared!" Seeing the emperor like this, Concubine De Zhang Ping hurriedly stood up and bowed and begged.

"Hey, there are more than a thousand pregnant wives in the army that went to war. What's wrong with me if they can go to war with resolutely!" Zhao Bing knew that he was playing the card of family affection and retorted with a smile.

"What the official family said is very much, but the identity of the official family is different from others. Personal expeditions are not only related to the ministers, but also to the country. Never move them lightly!" At this time, Wu Xi stood up and said seriously. She summoned all the sisters to talk to the emperor today, but in fact she was worried that the emperor would suddenly have a whim and sneak out of the palace to Sichuan and Sichuan, thinking about how to strengthen "supervision". Unexpectedly, an accident happened before it was involved.

"The empress is serious. I don't know how many emperors of all dynasties personally fight. They can. What's wrong with me?" Zhao Bing said, "In the past, Emperor Gao of Han destroyed Western Chu, Emperor Guangwu destroyed all the heroes, Cao Cao's Red Cliff in the Three Kingdoms, Hanzhong, Hefei in various battles, Liu Bei in Hanzhong, Yiling in various battles, Sun Quan in all the battles in Hefei, Liu Yu and Emperor Daowu of Wei, Emperor Taiwu in the founding battles, Gao Huan and Yu Wentai fought against each other five times, Emperor Wu of Zhou defeated Qi twice, Emperor Wu of Liang attacked Hedong and Hebei in the Five Dynasties, Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang destroyed Liang, Emperor Shizong of Zhou attacked Northern Han, attacked Liao, and Southern Tang, our dynasty Taizu attacked Northern Han, Yelu Abaoji invaded Youzhou, Yelu Deguang destroyed Jin, Empress Xiao brought Liao to the south to Chanzhou, Western Xia Li Yuanhao attacked Song, Genghis Khan of Yuan attacked Western Xia, and Mengge attacked our dynasty in person!"

"In addition, there are also such as Emperor Gao of Han pacifying Yingbu, Chen Feng, Cao Pi of the Three Kingdoms, Battle of Fu Jian Feishui, Emperor Xiaowen of Wei in the south, Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi attacked Rouran, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou personally attacked the Turks, Emperor Ming of Wei in the Three Kingdoms town to Chang'an counterattack Zhuge Liang, Liu Yao of the former Zhao counterattacked Shile, Ran Min killed the Hu Queen to fight against the Former Yan, Murong Chui attacked Pingcheng of the Northern Wei in order to avenge the revenge, Murong Chao of Southern Yan faced the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Gao Cheng of the Eastern Wei personally attacked Yingchuan, the Northern Qi Houzheng assisted Jinzhou, and the Five Dynasties of Later Jin came out to counterattack Liao and other Emperor Yang of Sui personally attacked Tuyuhun, Turkic and Goryeo, Emperor Taizong of Tang personally attacked Goryeo, our dynasty Taizong destroyed the Northern Han, attacked Liao, and King Hailing of Jin invaded our dynasty in the south!"

Zhao Bing heard the examples in a row, and there were some other things he did not say, such as Nurhaci's annexation of Manchuria, Huang Taiji entered the pass to the pass to fight Songjin, Ming Chengzu's northern expedition to Mongolia, Qing Kangxi personally expedition to Galdan, etc., because that was a matter of later generations, they didn't know if they said it. Of course, most of these people were entrepreneurial and expansion-type, or forced to fight, and there were also some people who were embarrassed to mention it, which was a war-based personal expedition. Although this type of personal expedition is not very common, it is not without it. One was Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty who stole Xuanhua to fight against Mongolia...8)
