Finally filling the belly of a bunch of children. Zhao Bing cleaned the faces of the little ones with clean water, wiped the charcoal ash stained in Zhao Jing's ear with towels, and tidied up his two daughters' scattered buns before he had time to sit down and rest, but the two little ones climbed up on his knees and snuggled in his arms, while the others sat around him.

Looking at his seven children, Zhao Bing felt pain and happiness, and sighed in his heart. If there were so many children in his previous life, even if he was not punished to death, he would have to be exhausted. Fortunately, he became the emperor in this life and would not have to worry about having ten or eight more people, but raising children is really a hard job.

It is said that he is the emperor and does not have to see his children in person. Just a few glances at them will be grace. But Zhao Bing was a man of two lives after all. Although he had not married and had children in his previous life, he also knew that the lack of fatherly love in his childhood would affect their mental health, especially in the palace where hierarchy and intrigue may lead to psychological distortion. Such examples are common in the royal family.

Mental health is important, and the body is equally important. The current medical conditions are thousands of miles worse than modern times. A small illness can lose your life. Even the royal family, which has the best conditions, is no exception. Children die prematurely. As for Zhao Bing's brothers, they are originally seven brothers.

However, the elder brother Zhao Zhuo, the second brother Zhao Shu, the third brother Zhao Xian, and the fourth brother Zhao Qi all died the following year of their birth, and the mortality rate was over half. It can be seen that the Empress Dowager kept urging Zhao Bing to have more children, not just to have branches and leaves, but to have backups so as not to end up with no successors.

Therefore, Zhao Bing was also worried about the health of several children. He used all the experiences he knew in his previous life and abolished many bad habits that had been passed down for thousands of years. He personally asked about what he had eaten, used, and dressed. He would go to various places to inspect the situation no matter how busy he was in the palace.

Fortunately, God has lived up to his efforts, and now all seven children are healthy, which makes Zhao Bing very pleased. As the children grow up, he will also spend more time to accompany them, not only to participate in education by himself, but also to influence them subtly and cultivate the correct light of life and worldview.

Zhao Bing also knew that the great roc could not be raised in the deep palace, so he would take the children out of the palace often, go out to the wilderness to see the vast world, go to the fields to understand the grains, and go to the lakes and seas to see the wind and waves. He knew that the children were young, and although they did not understand the meaning of it, they would also broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge, but they were not canaries who were ignorant of the wind and rain.

In education, although the queen proposed several times to invite famous scholars to teach the princes, Zhao Bing vaguely passed on. He had experienced ancient educational methods and felt that the children were still young and could not understand the great principles. Instead, he wanted them to have a happy childhood, and he did not want the children to be taught alone, so he planned to send them to the Royal Academy to study with the children there.

There, you can not only complete basic education, but also cultivate children's independence and group concepts, and at the same time discover their respective interests. You can also know the real life of the people by contacting classmates from ordinary people and see the other side of society. In the palace, they cannot see the real world, and mechanical preaching also makes them unable to recognize reality. They can only teach the bastards who are "why not eat meat".

However, it is really hard to raise children, and Zhao Bing also understood why men in his previous life were unwilling to be dads. He was all good enough for the same class and was born with a trunk. These four small ones were almost a month away, just like quadruplets. Now he was telling a story, and the three big ones listened with relish. The two in their arms had fallen asleep against his shoulders, and the other two were lying on their knees.

"Official family, Zheng Sicheng asked for a meeting!" Wang De walked over and whispered in his majesty's ear.

"Well, I'll go there!" Zhao Bing nodded and said to the child, "We'll talk about this today, and we'll talk about the funeral next day!"

"Come here!" Wang De immediately waved to ask the maid waiting by the side to come and take the children away.

"When you wake up, feed them some warm water and don't drink cold water, so as not to damage your stomach!" Several maids stepped forward and took the two children in the emperor's arms lightly, picked up the other two, and Zhao Bing stood up and instructed.

"Give me a farce!" The three big ones also stood up and bowed.

"No gifts, you are not allowed to drink ice water!" Zhao Bing bent down and said to them again.

"I have recorded it and I will look at Changping and Huai'an!" Zhao Jing said again.

"Okay, you have to listen to your brother!" Zhao Bing touched his son's head, pinched his two daughters' faces and reminded him with a smile.

After saying hello to his wives, Zhao Bing sorted out his clothes and went to the back hall. It is April, and the day scheduled for the Northern Expedition is getting closer. The intelligence collection industry of JD.com and Henan has been fully launched. Basically, information is delivered every five days, and it is inevitable that Zheng Huchen will come in person.

"Your Majesty, there is news ahead that the King of Jinan, Yezheli, the King of Jining, and Chahan Timur, had a serious conflict in Pei County when he was in front of him. Now they are all dispatching troops to confront each other, and the war is about to begin!" Zheng Huchen reported without caring about greetings.

"Oh, the fight begins!" Zhao Bing's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew that he had to find a reason to beat his son. Of course, the National War also had to be famous. Although he had always sneered at this, he had to find a reason to start the war. Now he was thinking about finding trouble and finding a reason to launch the Northern Expedition. At the moment, their internal strife was a timely help for him.

After taking the map, Zhao Bingpu found Pei County on the table. After the last Northern Expedition, the Mongol Yuan mobilized the kings of the Grassland Sect to enter the garrison and divided the five kings into garrison in Henan and Shandong. Among them, the King of Jinan was in charge of the former former Xuanweisi District of Shandong, and the King of Jining was in charge of Jining Road and Dongping Road. The two kings were adjacent to the east and west, with the canal as the boundary.

In order to prevent the Mongolian Yuan from destroying the facilities on the North Canal, Zhao Bing intended to set up a tentative site in Xuzhou to start trade with the Mongolian Yuan. Therefore, the canal was still the golden waterway for trade between the North and South dynasties, and became the treasure pot of the King of Jinan and Jining. They set up taxes on the canal, collected taxes from merchants who came and went, and used convenient conditions to do business and make a fortune.

However, because the two kings are adjacent to each other, the tax customs set up will inevitably overlap, which has caused complaints from merchants and merchants, and they have constant conflicts of interest. Both sides often send troops to destroy each other's tax customs and expel other officials, which makes a lot of fun. The court mediated many times, and even Tiemur issued an order to urge the two. Although they were restrained on the surface, they still struggled in private.

"Your Majesty, the cause of this conflict was that Yesai only violated the agreement between the two and set up tax customs in Pei County without any hesitation. The merchants took his bill and refused to pay another copy to Chahan Timur. Chahan Timur sent troops to smash the tax customs in Yesai and executed his officials. He also felt guilty and did not dare to send troops openly, so he secretly sent troops to pretend to be river robbers and rob the caravan of Jining King." Zheng Huchen introduced the situation.

"Yazili learned that the caravan was robbed, so he immediately sent troops to block the upstream and downstream waterways and chased along the river. When Pei County stopped the 'river robbers' and was about to mobilize troops to clear them, Chahan Timur took the lead and even captured the goods. Yesli went to ask for it, saying that this was the spoils he had used to destroy the bandits and refused to return it. He sent troops to cross the border to disarm the King of Jinan, and Chahan Timur mobilized troops to surround Pei County."

"Haha, it's very lively!" Zhao Bing felt a lot of trouble when he heard this. Thinking about it, both sides must be even worse.

"Next month is the day when the court will be opened. The merchant ship heading south was intercepted on the river, stretching for more than ten miles, and the lawsuit has been filed in front of the imperial court. But neither side will give up the troops. It seems that they want to compete for a high or low level and distinguish between the big and small!" Zheng Huchen also smiled.

"Taking money is like killing parents!" Zhao Bing chuckled, "I have to understand the grudges for many years this time, this time I want to understand them, which is a good thing for us!"

"Your Majesty, can we use troops to interfere across the border as a reason for disturbing the question?" Zheng Huchen suggested.

"No, the time is not yet ripe. Let's sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

"Once the war between the two sides is likely to affect our borders, we should also prepare early and mobilize troops on guard." Zheng Huchen thought about it.

"Let the border troops strengthen their vigilance. The imperial guards do not need to drive forward for the time being, otherwise when our army moves, they will think we will send troops to intervene, so they will withdraw their troops and stop the battle." Zhao Bing said.

"Well, what Your Majesty said is very good. But my subordinates thought that the Yuan Dynasty would send envoys to reconcile, and the war would not last long." Zheng Huchen thought. He knew that His Majesty wanted to launch a Northern Expedition after the autumn harvest and was also seeking excuses, but it was still several months, so it was too late.

"We can add more fire to them, turn small things into big things, make them unable to stop and expand the war. At that time, we will have the opportunity to send large troops across the border and then fish in troubled waters." Zhao Bing said.

"I understand!" Zheng Huchen pondered for a moment and understood the emperor's intentions, "The Bureau of Affairs has incorporated several gangs and bandits on JD.com, and can use them to pretend to be the forces of both sides and ignite fires everywhere."

"This idea is feasible. How many troops are they and how powerful are they in combat?" Zhao Bing asked.

"After several bandits merged, there were about four or five thousand people, and they were not equipped enough, but it was still possible to capture small prefectures and counties." Zheng Huchen thought for a moment and replied.

"You can give them some money, food and weapons, and don't ask them to occupy the prefectures and counties, as long as they muddle the water and make the people uneasy." Zhao Bing ordered.
