One month later, Su Mei was found to be pregnant and promoted to Jieyu.

Zhang Huang's attention and expectations for this child were beyond words, and he even ordered Fatty Chen to send someone to protect Su Mei in front of other concubines.

The sixth child, born to a humble mother, came into this world by inviting pets in a dishonorable way.

"Eunuch, the imperial concubine please go over."

Ge Wanxiao put down Su Mei's pulse case, let out a long sigh, and asked Han Wei to fetch two finger-wide slender silk cloths, tie them into silk flowers and hide them in his sleeves, and go to the Anci Palace where the noble concubine lived.

"Ge Gonggong looks good." The former Second Prince and the current Crown Prince are also there, and there is an unconcealable joy on his baby-fat little face, and he behaves very respectfully and virtuously in every move.

The noble concubine is still simple, but more beautiful. She is unique in the harem where delicate beauties are the mainstream. She is pure and beautiful, without a sense of surprise at first sight, but it will not make people bored.

Ge Wanxiao had already made up his mind, so he didn't look at how well the two of them liked him.

"Eunuch, please sit down and have tea."

The tea made by the imperial concubine herself, Dahongpao, is taken from the cherished mother tree. The soup is bright orange and yellow, very festive.

Ge Hunxiao sat down, took out a silk flower from his sleeve and put it on the table: "Be careful, please accept it with a smile."

The imperial concubine's gaze moved, she took the flower and pinned it on her temples, and said: "This silk flower is so delicate, your father-in-law has spent a lot of effort, right?"

The eunuch used silk flowers to indicate that the covenant would not change, but she implied that Ge Wanxiao only sent silk flowers and did nothing.

"No matter how beautiful the silk flowers are, they are vulgar after all. How can they compare to the beauty of the empress? I heard that Su Jieyu was extremely arrogant after she had a child. I ask the empress to bear it for a while. When the prince is born, the emperor will naturally not miss a woman with swollen legs and a thick waist." people."

"There are more and more princes, Songer..." The noble concubine frowned.

Seeing his mother worrying about him, the crown prince said, "Mother and concubine, don't worry, I will try my best to share my father's worries, and my father will naturally like my son."

The implication is that Zhang Wang doesn't like him now.

"The prince is already a prince." Seeing this, Ge Hunxiao laughed, "The emperor really wants a young son who can be happy under his knees. Although the prince is smart, he is too similar to the empress. He is dignified and stable, so naturally he is not liked by the emperor. When the emperor was a child Falling in love with Fang Jiewa more than poetry, books and government affairs, this kind of temper can't be a prince."

The crown prince Zhang Song frowned and said, "I asked to see you several times, but my father said he couldn't see you. Can you teach me something?"

Ge Hunxiao feigned displeasure, frowned and said, "You are already the prince, why bother to dig into the trail again?"

"But the officials in the DPRK and China don't pay much attention to me, the prince." Zhang Song's face was filled with anger, obviously the days of being the prince were far from what he had imagined before.

"Does Your Highness still want to complain to the Emperor?" The eunuch lowered his head and took a sip of tea, the smoke covered his face, and said, "If Your Highness wants to be an adult, you have to use your skills to convince others, don't go to the palace all day long. I would like to ask your mother and concubine. Chujun Chujun, if you want to bear the weight of the country, let yourself grow up enough to stand up to the sky first."

These words are so heavy, it is embarrassing and indignant to utter such words from the mouth of an eunuch, Zhang Song's cheeks are flushed and his body trembles.

The noble concubine put her hand on her son's shoulder, nodded in agreement, and said, "Elder-in-law is very true. After all, I am a deep-seated woman with shallow knowledge, so I dote on Song'er too much."

How could she not know this truth?But as a mother, how could she bear to see her son hit a wall everywhere?In particular, the emperor was violent, and the lesson of the first prince being demoted to a commoner was right in front of her eyes, so how could she rest assured that her son would grow up by himself?Ge Wanxiao suggested that she give up Zhang Song and support the third prince, but she never considered it.

Zhang Song grew up to be like this, and all the officials praised him, but the concubine also knew that Zhang Song lacked the most important pattern of being an emperor.

She still remembered that she lived with Zhang Huang in the most desolate palace, even if the late emperor disliked and the officials were embarrassed, Zhang Huang never lowered his proud head, which was completely different from what she had learned in the palace to forbear and conspire.

That day when she was passing by the courtyard, she just heard Zhang Huang telling his staff, since the civil servants all judge the situation, it is better to find another way, the military generals outside the capital have no information, and they value loyalty, so they can make plans.At that time, she couldn't help thinking that if it was herself, she would never be willing to leave the capital, and she might still work hard on the late emperor, or plot against the prince, or show off her talents. Is going to the battlefield safer and easier?

So many years later, Zhang Song still only had this palace in his eyes. It wasn't until Ge Hunxiao took the initiative to form an alliance that the imperial concubine understood where Zhang Huang's pattern came from.

Liu Rufeng once said that his teachers did not teach non-geniuses throughout the generations. Although there are many talents with both civil and military skills, the most exquisite is the complete book of emperor's art that has been compiled and revised by generations of disciples since thousands of years ago.A eunuch like Ge Hunxiao has such vision, which is really impressive.

Ge Wanxiao is already the Emperor's man, but fortunately there is Liu Rufeng in the Crown Prince's womb.

Thinking of this, the noble concubine said softly: "Su Jieyu is pregnant, and the emperor has not called anyone to bed for a few days. I have a candidate here in this palace. Please ask your father-in-law to advise you."

Ge Hunxiao raised her eyebrows, not understanding what she meant.

"The man's surname is Qiu Mingyue. He came to the gate of this palace and said that he had an old relationship with his father-in-law." The noble concubine shook the teacup, and the tea foam rose from the bottom of the cup, and the expression in her eyes was covered by her long eyelashes. "This palace has no other intentions, just The father-in-law put a living person in the harem, and he always had to do some calculations."

Ge Wanxiao became anxious when she heard Qiu Yue's name, and secretly scolded Qiu Yue for being confused, but she didn't dare to show it, and said with a straight face: "Since she has joined the empress's family, the free empress is the master."

The imperial concubine cast her eyes away from his stiff face, poured tea for him with her own hands, and said: "Then I will arrange for someone to present her plaque to the emperor tomorrow night."

The past of Ge Wanxiao and Qiu Yue's youth has never been covered up, and the nobles in the palace can always find out if they want to.

"Follow your mother's orders."

The imperial concubine smiled lightly: "The third prince intends to join the army to conquer the Cheqi Kingdom, what do you think, father-in-law?"

The small country where the proton was buried alive and starved to death by the emperor.

"Does the empress think that this battle can be fought?"

"The country of Cheqi doesn't want to fight, but the court needs this battle. The father-in-law asked me to find a way to arrange the soldiers and horses of the dynasty a few days ago. After thinking about it, the only way to do it is to train troops by war. Conglong's merit is too great , Those veterans can’t move easily, it’s better to train newcomers.”

A generation of newcomers replaced the old ones, and the veterans who were loyal to Zhang Huang were replaced by the newcomers. As an emperor, Zhang Huang could not easily lead a personal conquest, and his authority in the army would inevitably be hit, which was completely contrary to Ge Wanxiao's original intention.

"It's a small country, what kind of soldiers can it support? Besides, the emperor ordered the construction of nine palaces, the treasury is tight, and there is no military expenditure."

The noble concubine put down her teacup: "The emperor has already agreed. I don't understand military affairs, but according to what Liu Rufeng said, if you follow the emperor's plan and use war to support war, sending troops will not consume the national treasury, but will be able to cover the cost of the nine palaces."

"Once a war starts, how can everything go according to the plan? Supporting a war with war will inevitably lead to an overly long battle line. At that time, as long as one loses a battle, the army may be defeated like a mountain. The current army is no longer the army when he took military power. Inexperienced newcomers must also be employed, and the conflict between old and new generals will not be suppressed, so the risk of sending troops is too great!"

The more the old sick ghost talked, the more he felt that this so-called plan was just a theory, Zhang Huang shouldn't be so stupid after being kicked in the head by a horse.In the end, there was a bit of sternness in his sparse brows, and he stared into the eyes of the noble concubine and said: "Since the emperor took power, the tax burden has been heavy, and the people's grievances are not small. He dares to wage unjust wars. Is the throne too stable? Madam , if bandits are everywhere, it will not be good for you, me, or the prince."

"Eunuch be careful!" Zhang Song warned.

"Your Highness, this is his throne, his people, and the future is yours too."

Of course the princes don't care, or in other words, the more stupid Zhang Huang is, the greater their chances, Zhang Song is the only prince who cares, but the noble concubine doesn't care.Ge Wanxiao didn't think that the subordinates would rebel. The civilian uprising would require at least two generations of mediocre monarchs, but if the prince rebelled, it would only need a proper reason to convince the generals and the common people.

Cultivating new recruits through the Battle of Che Qi Kingdom sounds good, but Zhang Wang is trapped in the palace, and the brutal celebrities are well known. The new generals may not be loyal to Zhang Huang, and they may choose to be loyal to the prince.And Zhang Song, as the legitimate prince, would undoubtedly be their first choice.

Ge Wanxiao looked at the noble concubine with cold eyes.

"I believe in the emperor's decision." The imperial concubine smiled dignifiedly as if she didn't realize it, "The emperor marched and deployed, and he has never been defeated. Even if the people have slight objections, the supplies waiting to be sent back to the country will be amnesty for the world. There will be no problems. What is the father-in-law worried about?"

I am worried that once the military power is put down, it will not be taken back!

Ge Hunxiao knew that his guess was absurd, very unfounded, and a little bit concerned would cause confusion. The concubine's words were correct. There was no such great talent as Zhang Huang among the princes. No matter how strict the military power of generals was, it would not Something went wrong.

He just suddenly discovered that even if he becomes the emperor, there are still things that can threaten Zhang Huang.

And the threat came from Zhang Huang's own son!
