Chapter 214 Important Officials at the Front

Hearing what Zheng Yi said, the expressions of several people present changed.

Jie'er and Yu'er shrank her head, not daring to look at the others.

Concubine Zhen was stunned for a moment, then blushed with embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean, are you making fun of me?"

"I, mother and daughter, serve His Majesty together. I don't care, but Jie'er and I..."

"No, no, no..."

Zheng Yi said: "My beloved, you are worrying too much. What I mean is that no matter what these two children do in the future or who they become, they are my sons and your relatives."

"I will never give up on them."

The three women immediately said: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty..."

Su Xi's eyes on the side were a little strange.

What does this big sister mean?

Mother and daughter serve His Majesty together?

Could it be that... she and the two beautiful sisters who gave birth today have a... mother-daughter relationship?

Only when she thought of this did she realize. No wonder when she saw the three women for the first time, she felt that their eyebrows were very similar.

Unexpectedly...

This, how is this possible...

Su Xi's outlook on life began to change, and her mind began to become confused.

"Your Majesty~"

Concubine Zhen said softly: "Since I, Jie'er, and Yu'er have joined the royal family, they have already accepted their fate. The three of us are not only mother and daughter, but also sisters."

"As for their children, just call me aunt."

"Life?"

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "It's best if you think so. I like all three of you very much, but I don't want to give up on any of you."

"The deceased is like a man, never giving up day and night."

"When you are alive, you should enjoy yourself. Just put some troubles behind you."

Although the three daughters Li Lizhen, Dong Yunjie, and Dong Yun Yu are mother and daughter, Li Lizhen was adopted by the royal family since she was a child, and her identity belongs to the Shadow Guard.

After constant brainwashing, Zheng Yi has long been regarded as the god in her heart.

The two girls, Dongyunjie and Dongyunyu, are not much better. They have been brainwashed since childhood to be loyal to the royal family and His Majesty.

Ethics and so on have long been suppressed by the loyalty to the emperor in their hearts.

If it were an ordinary mother and daughter, it would be very difficult to convince them.

"I wonder if Your Majesty can give a good name to Jie'er and Yu'er's child?"

Concubine Zhen said: "The two little guys look really alike. They are almost exactly the same as Jie'er and Yu'er when they were young."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yi solemnly said: "Jie'er, Yu'er, and concubine Zhen."

"You three should know that Jie'er and Yu'er are both monks, and I am also a monk."

"There is a high probability that the children we give birth to will have spiritual roots, so I don't want them to be involved in the battle for the throne."

"I only hope that the two of them can live peacefully and then embark on the path of cultivation."

"So, I want to name them after 'Ping An'. I wonder what the three beloved concubines think?"

"Safe?"

"Zheng Chengping, Zheng Chengan."

The three women murmured: "Although the name is ordinary, His Majesty also has a lot of thoughts in it."

"I also hope that our children will be safe and live a long life."

"Then let's use these two names."

"Zheng Chengping, Zheng Chengan..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"

The three girls were very satisfied with the names of the two children. After some comfort, Zheng Yi asked Zhenbi to find an empty room for Su Xi to live in.

"Bingdi Palace has the most concubines and is very lively. Su Xi must be living in Bingdi Palace during this period."

Zheng Yi ordered: "You take the time to communicate with Su Xi and take her around the palace more."

Li Lizhen glanced at Su Xi and said understandingly: "I will obey your Majesty's order."

Under the instructions of the concubine Zhen, a wing room was quickly arranged, and Su Xi settled down safely.

When Li Lizhen returned to the palace, a pair of thugs immediately held him in their arms.

"Ah..."

She exclaimed and tried to pull out the hairpin from her hair with her backhand, but she quickly reacted.

"Your Majesty?!"

"My beloved concubine is very agile. It seems she does a lot of exercise on weekdays."

Zheng Yi picked him up and smiled as he walked towards the bed.

Concubine Zhen blushed and said: "Your Majesty, Jie'er Yu'er is still next door~"

"What are you afraid of? They have just given birth and have already rested tonight."

"The baby will be looked after by a wet nurse, so it won't be a problem~"

"Your Majesty~"

Concubine Zhen's eyes were as charming as silk, and she suddenly put her arms around Zheng Yi's neck and said, "I also want to give birth to a child for you~"

"Have a baby?"

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "No problem!"

"I just don't know if the child I gave birth to will call Jie'er Yu'er sister, or..."

"Your Majesty~!"

"Hahaha..."

After a night of romance, Zheng Yi did not take any protective measures, but allowed him to merge with Li Lizhen.

The pure yin energy and pure yang energy in the Yin and Yang Treasure Mirror have not yet entered. Whether she can get pregnant or not depends entirely on her luck.

However, in Zheng Yi's view, if it is not conducive to pure yin energy or pure yang energy, it will be difficult for ordinary women to get pregnant.

The next day, Zheng Yi summoned Liu Chengen, the cabinet and others to ask about the war in the south.

"Return to Your Majesty."

Li Changfeng said: "The war in the south is still raging now. Our imperial army and the rebels from the southern states are still fighting in the Xuzhou area, with each other winning or losing." "However, because of the existence of the new army, our imperial army still has the initiative on the battlefield. ”

"Where is the general?"

Zheng Yi wondered. According to his speculation, if the new army is dispatched to deal with these rebels, they will sweep across the south like autumn leaves. Unexpectedly, it has been more than half a year, and many rebels in the south have not yet been pacified?

Li Changfeng said: "Your Majesty, there are suspected to be many monks and a large number of warriors among the southern rebels."

"They often hide among the rebels, carry out sneak attacks and carry out beheading tactics. More than 30 officers of all levels have been killed."

"Even General Xu suffered two assassinations, but they were all suppressed by the general."

"A monk..."

Zheng Yi murmured, it seems that these monks are the variables in the battle of the southern rebels.

Only monks can resist the new army's artillery by various means.

But...it's impossible!

No matter how many monks there are, there will only be a dozen at most.

But the new artillery army has a total of two hundred thousand!

Unless... there is something among the southern rebels that Xu Mujun is afraid of.

Or... other reasons?

"Cheng'en."

"The slave is here."

"Is there a letter written by General Xu?"

"Yes!"

Soon, Liu Chengen dragged up five envelopes on a wooden tray and handed them to Zheng Yi respectfully.

These five envelopes were all sealed with fire paint and had obviously not been opened.

He took out one of the envelopes that was farthest back in time. It was in October of the ninth year of Zhengyong.

At that period, it was just after Xu Mu's army and horses stepped onto Yuanhe Mountain.

The content is also very simple, just briefly explaining the battle of Yuanhe Mountain and the detailed plan to go to Xuzhou to suppress the southern rebels.

The contents of the second, third, and fourth letters were also very simple. They only occasionally asked about Xu Qingluan's situation.

It wasn't until the fifth letter that something changed.

Monk.

Sure enough, monks appeared among the Xuzhou rebels.

They secretly used magic to destroy the army's food, grass and baggage, and burned countless military pay and rations, which made the army hesitate to move forward and could only passively defend.

Even though they have the power of firearms, they are helpless when facing the monks who come and go without a trace.

"The monk...if you want to deal with the monk, you can only use the monk."

"However, the only monks I have at my disposal are Xuan Jizi and Chen Liancang."

"Compared to the monks of the Tuoba family in the south and other monks hidden among the rebels, they are still far behind!"

Zheng Yi shook his head and said: "What is Xu Mujun struggling with?"

"With 200,000 new troops as the main force, supplemented by other large armies, we can directly push across Xuzhou, Jiangzhou and other places, destroy Tianlong Temple, Tuoba family and other places, and attack them to save them. How..."< br>

Zheng Yi has been thinking about it, wondering what Xu Mujun is doing.

"Your Majesty!"

Li Changfeng suddenly said: "I have one more thing to report."

"Please tell me, dear?"

"General Xu has written many memorials to the cabinet, hoping that your majesty can reward people of the Xu clan..."

"Huh?"

Zheng Yi asked strangely: "Why are people from the Xu clan rewarded?"

"Invite credit."

Li Changfeng said: "Most of the Xu clan went to war with the general, and indeed they made a lot of contributions, but the rewards for their merits were not given until after the war. The general's move was somewhat overstepping his authority."

"After deliberation, I feel that this matter is very difficult, so I have suppressed it and want to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

"What else?"

Lu Xiangqing said: "Your Majesty, in addition to the Xu clan, the general also wants to ask the court to ennoble his newborn grandson..."

"Little grandson?"

Zheng Yi quickly remembered something: "Zhong Chun gave birth?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Chengen whispered: "Miss Zhong Chun gave birth to a son in February last year. His Majesty was in retreat at the time, and the servants did not inform him."

"General Xu was very excited when he found out. He personally wrote a letter home and sent it back to the Xu Mansion, naming his grandson 'Xu Jingzhong'. He is now more than one year and three months old."

"More than one year and three months old?"

Zheng Yi nodded and said: "It seems that I was negligent."

"In order to seek an official position for the Xu clan and a title for my grandson, did I also ask for a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, land deeds and beautiful women?"

Several people hesitated for a moment and said one after another: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty has a clever plan. We have suppressed this matter. I wonder how your Majesty will decide?"

Zheng Xuanyue even said: "Your Majesty! Xu Mujun, relying on his own merits, actually used military force to force the imperial court to seek personal gain for his tribe and descendants when he was uniting the army abroad. This matter... must not be opened!"

"I think we can recall General Xu and choose someone else as a general to take charge of the extermination of the rebels in the south!"

"What do the rest of my dear friends think?"

Lu Xiangqing cupped his hands and said, "I... second my opinion with Master Zheng."

"General Xu has made great contributions, but this is the day of the final decisive battle between the Yu imperial court and the rebels. The general chose this time to threaten the imperial court, which is too...ignorant!"

Zheng Yi looked at Wang Anshi and asked, "Wang Aiqing, do you have any other opinions?"

Wang Anshi turned sideways and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Xu's move must have deep meaning."

"But no matter what, the top priority is to destroy the southern rebels."

"According to what I have seen, it is a taboo in the art of war to change the general before the battle. The imperial court can agree to his request and wait for him to destroy the rebels."

"After the army returns to the court, we will discuss merits and rewards..."
