() Empress Zhou was slightly surprised when she heard that the emperor was coming, she quickly put down her work and stood up to greet her.

Just as he was about to take a step, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen had already walked in, so he prepared to salute.

Emperor Chongzhen saw Empress Zhou standing by a small table, ready to salute, and hurriedly signaled with his hands: "The empress does not need to be too polite."

When he finished speaking, he had already walked quickly in front of Queen Zhou, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw the affection in each other's eyes.

"Queen, why don't you rest, your body is important."

"Your Majesty is busy late into the night every day, and you need to take care of the dragon's body." Queen Zhou said while turning sideways, asking Emperor Chongzhen to sit down.

As soon as she gave way, Emperor Chongzhen saw what Empress Zhou had put on the table just now.He picked it up and looked at it, and praised: "The queen's needlework is getting better and better. If you don't look closely, you can see that there are patches on it."

"Your Majesty, you are going to rest earlier than usual today, and you are still in the mood to praise your concubine's handiwork. Is Uncle Zhongxing back?" Queen Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen and guessed softly.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he put down his inner garment, reached out to hold Queen Zhou's catkin, looked at her face, and praised with a smile: "The queen is really smart."

"The concubines dare not intervene in the affairs of the court, but every time His Majesty solves a difficult matter in the court, he will praise Uncle Zhongxing. Looking at His Majesty's current mood, the concubine guesses that Uncle Zhongxing has returned."

"Wrong, I won't be Zhongxing Bo in the future." Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said.

"Ah, who is more capable than Uncle Zhongxing?" Queen Zhou was a little surprised.

For more than a month, since Uncle Zhongxing woke up, when Emperor Chongzhen often returned to the palace, he couldn't help but feel the pity of the heavens in front of her, and the great ancestor appeared and sent Zhongxing Bo to help him.

Now Emperor Chongzhen actually said that Zhongxingbo would not come to help him in the future, which is really a bit surprised.

"Hehe, the queen misunderstood. I decided to make Master Zhong the Marquis of Zhongxing in the next few days. This is what I promised before." Emperor Chongzhen explained.

When Empress Zhou heard it, it turned out that her understanding was poor, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine becomes stupid once she is pregnant."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and comforted: "Impossible, how could my queen become stupid? I didn't make it clear. By the way, do you still feel sick these few days?"

"It's much better. According to my concubine's experience when she was pregnant with the emperor, she's almost fine. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it." Queen Zhou replied.

"Well, okay, where is my prince?"

"Just fell asleep, did the concubine ask the maid to carry her?" Empress Zhou was a little surprised. Emperor Chongzhen was always busy with state affairs, and rarely asked the emperor's son.

"You don't need to fall asleep. I came here today to tell you good news." Emperor Chongzhen looked into Empress Zhou's eyes.

Empress Zhou did not speak, but looked back at Emperor Chongzhen with those charming eyes, with a look of anticipation on her face.

The number of good news from Emperor Chongzhen's mouth was too seldom. No matter what the news was, Empress Zhou liked to listen to her husband and share the joy with him.

"I am determined to confer the crown prince in the near future."

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Empress Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that the prince had given birth to her own son, and who else would be crowned prince besides her own son.

Although my son is the eldest son, generally speaking, he will be the prince, but there is still a big difference between being sealed and not being sealed.

Joy welled up from Empress Zhou's heart, covering her face, with surprise in her eyes: "Your Majesty, is this true?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "You are not joking, of course it is true."

It was a surprise that his son was canonized as the prince when he was less than two years old.

Empress Zhou gently broke free from Emperor Chongzhen's hand, and then wanted to go down, but was immediately stopped by Emperor Chongzhen, who reminded: "Be careful."

Empress Zhou no longer forcibly blessed her, and said in a slightly louder voice, a little excitedly: "The concubine thanked His Majesty on behalf of the emperor."

"You don't need to be polite, he is not only your emperor's son, but also my emperor's son." Emperor Chongzhen said while helping Empress Zhou to sit down again.

He estimated the time, and said to Queen Zhou who was still in agitation: "It's getting late, the queen should rest early, I'm going to Concubine Tian Gui."

If Empress Zhou had heard this before, she might have felt a little jealous, but at this time she was not jealous at all, her heart was still filled with surprise, and she responded to Emperor Chongzhen: "I know, Your Majesty should also rest earlier."

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, no matter whether it was Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong or Wen Tiren, they were all very busy.

Emperor Chongzhen was busy with general affairs, Wen Tiren was busy communicating with civil servants, and Sun Chengzong was communicating with generals, and they were busy all of a sudden.

Only Zhong Jinwei rested in his mansion and slept until almost noon before getting up. Then he chatted with the old man in the mansion, and even took a class instead of Uncle Yu himself, teaching Arabic numerals and multiplication tables.

The class was a bit long because Ming people were not used to the left-to-right writing method demonstrated by Zhong Jinwei.

After Zhong Jinwei managed to teach a few people with strong receptivity to basically learn these things, he threw down the chalk and ran away. Being a teacher is really tiring.

He returned to his study room, saw the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" given to him by Archie, touched the damaged place on it, and thought of Archie.So, I wrote a love letter to Archie, reporting my recent situation and expressing my thoughts.Then I looked at the Three Kingdoms, and the day passed quickly.

Not only Zhong Jinwei was leisurely, but the leaders of Jianlu were also very leisurely, and they were still celebrating in Yongping.

Why should we celebrate, and what should we celebrate?This matter has to start from the previous two days.

After Huang Taiji sent Dai Shan away that night, he kept thinking about the reason why the Ming army moved out with great fanfare and finally withdrew to the capital suddenly.

It's a pity that Huang Taiji spent a lot of brain cells, but he still can't figure it out.So on the second day, Huang Taiji sent a large number of scouts to search the surrounding situation to see if the Ming army was doing something wrong somewhere.

As a result, Tanma didn't find out where the Ming army was making troubles, but he brought back a Ming army envoy, which was correctly said to be the envoy of the Luanzhou Tongzhi of the Ming State, who said he was going to join the Dajin State.

This news surprised Huang Taiji too much, such a situation has never happened before.For a moment, Huang Taiji thought that he was really arrogant and could make the officials of the Ming Dynasty surrender on hearing the news.

After all, Huang Taiji was Huang Taiji, so he quickly connected the abnormal behavior of the Ming army with the surrender of Luanzhou, and realized that something important had happened.

He sent troops to accept Luanzhou, and at the same time asked Luanzhou Tongzhi to come to Yongping for an audience.

Winning a Ming army city in vain, let the Jianlu, especially those who attacked Changli and Funing, regain their self-confidence, even more.

They chose to forget about those defeats, and praised each other for the great reputation of Dajin, which could make the Ming Dynasty's city look down.

After Huang Taiji got the news, he didn't explain that there was an inside story, but secretly fueled the flames.

The reason why he did this was because of a series of previous defeats, which led to low morale in the army and a decline in his own prestige.Now there is an opportunity to restore morale and prestige out of thin air, of course Huang Taiji will not miss it.

Luanzhou co-prefect Zhang Wenxiu arrived in Yongping soon, and immediately had an audience with Huang Taiji.

When Huang Taiji wanted to know the truth of the matter, Zhang Wenxiu flattered him at first, and even said that the sun is in the east, only Dajin is undefeated, Dajin sweats profusely, Wencheng Wude, for thousands of years, unifies the country.

But Huang Taiji was not a certain kind of person, he was not dazzled by the victory, and he was not able to get over it with a few flattery.Under his kindness and power, Zhang Wenxiu finally told the truth.

After Huang Taiji understood the truth of the matter, he looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and immediately called a meeting of all the leaders of Jianlu, and announced this unexpected joy at the meeting.

No one thought that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be so stupid. When the invincible Dajin army was stationed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he would start a large-scale anti-corruption campaign, which made the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty panic. People's hearts are surging, this is a sign that the Great Jin Kingdom will replace the Ming Kingdom!

Many Jianlu leaders immediately asked Huang Taiji to order troops to send troops to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, following the example of the Dajin ancestors attacking Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and taking advantage of the civil strife to take it down in one fell swoop.

But these people's speeches were all suppressed by Huang Taiji. He said: "I thought that Dajin's attack on the capital of the Ming Dynasty now would give the faint king of Ming a chance to compromise, so now is not the best time. On the contrary, Dajin Jin should shrink his activities, so that the faint king of the Ming Dynasty will feel that Dajin will not threaten him, or even feel that Dajin exists, so he will boldly fight against corruption. When the generals of the Ming army bring troops to vote, then it will be us It's time for Dajin to take over the Ming capital easily!"

What Huang Taiji said was passionate and generous, and the other leaders also felt that it was reasonable.Therefore, after accepting Luanzhou, Jianlu shrank his troops and took back his horses, drinking and having fun every day, only waiting for the generals of the Ming Dynasty to surrender.

Of course, Huang Taiji didn't just wait and do nothing, he sent a lot of Han Jian to the Ming capital, intending to contact Ming generals.
