When the boat arrived at Duancheng, the people abandoned the boat and drove to Jiangzhou, the capital of the state of Jin, by land.

Walk ten miles outside the city.

Three gongs, nine Qing, civil and military officials, line up to welcome.

The official system of Jin state is very complicated. There are three official positions: Taishi, Taifu and Taibao.

Wei Zun, however, didn't manage the specific affairs of the imperial court. He only appeared at important court meetings. It was customary for him to be a senior member of a famous family with a high reputation. He was in charge of politics, supervision and military officers of the country.

There are also nine Qing ministers who manage the specific affairs of the state, such as Fengchang, langzhongling, Weiwei, etc. As well as the post of lieutenant in charge of the public security of the capital and dachangqiu in charge of the affairs of the harem.

In a word, the functions are not clear, the rights and responsibilities are mutually encroached, and most of them are monopolized by the aristocrats of the major families.

Cheng Chiba glanced at the crowd and deeply realized Cheng Qianyu's original sorrow. In fact, few of the ministers who seem to be holding a heavy hand and respectfully salute have a real sense of awe for their Lord.

One after another in the crowd, crisscross bright represents the emotional color of all kinds of thoughts. Cheng Chiba, who has been used to false and false, has a headache.

After dealing with these courtiers, she went to the harem and met her "mother" - Mrs. Yang Ji and Mrs. Yang Tai, who only met once, and her concubine Xu Fei, who was about to give birth.

As soon as Mrs. Yang saw her, her eyes were full of tears. She grabbed her hand and sobbed, "my son, I've suffered you."

But when she turned her eyes to Yao Tianxiang on Cheng Chiba's side, she couldn't help showing a strange expression.

In front of people familiar with the inside story, Cheng Qianye is slightly embarrassed to introduce Yao Tianxiang as his wife.

She touched her nose, took Yao Tianxiang's hand, briefly explained the reason, and emphasized Yao Tianxiang's support for herself.

Finally, Yao Tianxiang was introduced to his mother as his daughter-in-law.

Yao Tianxiang gave a big gift and retired.

Mrs. Yang holds back everyone and embraces Cheng Chiba in her arms.

She felt Cheng Chiba's hair and thought that her daughter, who had been pampered since she was a child, had to deal with the difficult situation. She couldn't help but feel sad and choked.

Although Cheng Qianye has no real feelings with this lady, she can feel a mother's sincere love for her daughter.

Cheng Chiba thought of his parents and brothers in another world, and his heart was slightly sore.

After a long time, waiting for Mrs. yang to calm down. Cheng Chiba just sat up straight, straightened his clothes, handed over his handkerchief, and comforted him: "mother doesn't have to be so sad. Now my child is more and more familiar with government affairs, and everything is going well

Mrs. Yang wiped her tears. "I heard that you were in bianzhou, ruling the chaos and abolishing the new, and managing the Bude. You won the hearts of the people, and your praise spread to the capital one after another. You are really capable, more than you Well done

The imperial concubine Xu stood by and was quietly wiping her tears.

Cheng Chiba looked at her big stomach, not very nice to let her stand.

He waved and pulled her to sit down beside him. He reached out and carefully touched the round belly of Princess Xu. The belly suddenly raised a small piece and moved the palm of his hand that supported Ding Cheng Chiba.

"Oh, this It's kicking me Chiba how the pregnant woman did not feel strange contact.

"Maybe I know it's my aunt who came to see him. I'm very excited today." Xu Fei smiles gently.

She is a gentle woman, white and beautiful, because pregnant and slightly fat face, appears more white.

At this moment, she lowered her head, with a kind of tenderness of a woman about to be a mother, gently touching her stomach, and her whole body exuded a kind of soft goose yellow.

Like in spring, the delicate Jasmine general, moving.

Cheng Chiba thought in his heart: such a weak woman can survive in the deep palace with pregnancy.

Mrs. Yang coughed and said, "I've told you so many times. Even if there is no outsider present, I can't call you casually. This carelessness is the disaster of dumping my family and destroying my country."

Princess Xu turned pale and stood up and said in a low voice: "yes, I'm wrong. Please mother and husband My husband, forgive me

"There's no one else here. It's better to do something. Next time you pay attention." Cheng Qianye took the hand of Princess Xu, and found that her hand became ice and cold in an instant.

Why is she so afraid of Mrs. Yang?

Cheng Chiba digs off the topic: "your belly looks very big. Isn't it that you are pregnant with twins like your mother is pregnant with our brother and sister?"

"No, not my husband." Seeing this, Princess Chiba was grateful The husband's first child, the mother specially takes care of the minister concubine, each kind of nourishes the saint product water medium to send. So the kids are getting stronger. "

Cheng Chiba was unmarried before crossing, and he didn't know much about childbearing. He nodded and didn't pay attention to it any more.

She raised her head and asked Mrs. Yang: "there were many attendants in the palace that night. Although they were all trusted by their mother's personal attendants, I think their mother was also safe?"Mrs. Yang didn't answer. She said to Princess Xu first: "Princess Xu, leave me and my son to have a good talk."

Xu Fei's face was a little white. She stood up and bowed down.

Mrs. Yang just pulled Chiba's hand, rubbed the back of her hand and said, "my son, don't worry. I've already dealt with the irrelevant people."

What does Chiba mean by "clean up".

She has always been magnanimous and tolerant. After passing through, she tried her best to adapt to the different ways of dealing with problems under the background of different times. But Mrs. Yang's words still made her feel uncomfortable for a while.

In her memory, when her mother and daughter were desperate and wanted to commit suicide, all the people they served were close friends who had been with them for many years. There are not only the loyal maidservant who watched Cheng Chiba grow up, but also the old servant who is ready to die with him.

No one left. It's clean.

"What about Princess Xu? What's your mother going to do

"My child, just sit in front of you. You don't have to worry about the harem. Leave it to your mother. No matter whether she was born male or female, it is necessary for her to go to her mother and stay with her son. "

Mrs. Yang lovingly touched Cheng Chiba's hand, "mother has thought about it. You are also your father's blood. If you want to use your own blood to inherit the great rule in the future, your mother will also support you. Princess Xu's child is a thought left to her mother. She will take it with her and let him grow up peacefully. "

This sentence is not easy for a woman who lives in the age of male chauvinism. She really thinks about her daughter.

She is very sincere towards Cheng Chiba's loving heart. But it can't be denied that she is a cruel and cold-blooded person at the same time. As long as she lives beyond her own flesh and blood, this lady can kill her without hesitation.

Cheng Chiba looks at the "mother" in front of her with complicated emotions. She knows that it is very difficult to change the fixed thinking of such a middle-aged woman.

These women who live in the harem often only focus on one or two things. When they use some means, they are often more terrifying and difficult to guard against.

"Since Princess Xu already knows, she will keep it. If I don't have any concubines around me, it's not decent." Cheng Chiba opens his mouth.

"This..." Mrs. Yang hesitated for a moment. "According to your meaning, the princess of Wei also knows your identity?"

"Mother." Cheng Chiba lowered his voice and explained, "as a daughter, it's very inconvenient sometimes if there's no one around who knows the truth. I need a wife like Tianxiang by my side. "

"You must not interfere." She added cautiously.

"You have a point, then the princess will be fine. But I heard that... " Mrs. Yang dodged for a moment, "you flattered a man, it is said that he was a slave"

Cheng Chiba sat up straight and tried to suppress his impatience: "I'm the king, I can sit in this country, and I can also have people I like. Doesn't my mother want me to be alone all my life?"

Mrs. Yang was surprised, she subconsciously explained: "no, of course I didn't mean that."

Cheng Chiba converged for a moment, got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Yang as gently as possible.

At this moment, Yang Taifu suddenly realized that after these days, her daughter, who was always in her arms, had been transformed into a powerful monarch in the bloody wind and rain that she had not seen.

She already had her husband's air of being king.

Even if I didn't get angry, I didn't speak in a loud voice. I just sat there and frowned a little. It's subconsciously frightening.

Cheng Qianye returns to his palace and meets Zhang Fu and he Lanzhen.

"Tomorrow, I will discuss the issue of sending troops to support bianzhou in the court. There must be a lot of resistance. You two should be prepared. "

He Lanzhen said: "I will contact my uncle when I return home. I will try my best to persuade my family and relatives to support the resolution of my Lord."

Cheng Chiba nodded: "that's why I didn't let you go back to bianzhou first, but brought you back together."

She looked at Zhang Fu again.

Zhang Fu said politely, "I'm not afraid to fight with other officials. It's just

He hesitated for a moment, frowned and said: "there has been no war in China for a long time. In a hurry, there is really no division who is good at fighting. Although the great ministers supported their troops on the fiefdoms, they were not willing to allocate their own troops for the sake of the country. Go to a remote place where you can't get any profit. "

"I have an idea for you to discuss." Cheng Chiba said, "I want to use slaves as the main force of the army."

"Slaves?" He Lanzhen and Zhang Fu look at each other.

"My Lord, the slaves are inferior to the regular army. They are always slow and powerless on the battlefield. They can only be used as coolies or the vanguard of death. If the army does not have the ability to fight as a regular slave, "he said Zhang Fu gently persuades.Cheng Qianye took out a scroll full of words from the drawer and unfolded it slowly: "this is the military merit system that I formulated with reference to the thoughts of the sages. You have a good look. I have decided to use it to ban the slavery that I hate."

Zhang Fu and he Lanzhen looked up and saw that the first line of the volume of text said: in all wars, they are superior to each other in military achievements. If you get one, get rid of slavery. If you get ten, you will be awarded a rank of nobility.
