If I can pacify Liao in four years and five years, I will transform the political institutions of the Ming Dynasty so that they can be fully integrated and more efficient. To move towards modernization, ten or twenty years may not be enough.

The palace maid brought tea in front of her, interrupting the emperor's thoughts. He couldn't help but smile and his eyes were cast on the face of Queen Zhang Yan again.

Zhang Yan was aware of the knowledge and was tactful. When she saw the emperor in a daze, she didn't bother her. When she saw the emperor's eyes, she smiled slightly and said, "I went to Changchun Palace to see the two little princesses yesterday--"

Halfway through, Zhang Yan couldn't hold back her smile, and she covered her mouth with silk trouser and kept laughing.

The emperor also smiled and asked, "What new shows are there for the two little girls? Let the queen laugh like this?"

Zhang Yan finally stopped laughing, breathed calmly, and said with a smile: "The parrot raised by the emperor is giving to Concubine Yu to relieve her? When I went there, the two little princesses were quarreling with the bird. The bird was sharp-tongued, and neither of the little princess could say it."

Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes, imagining the little girl who just knew how to rogue and quarrel with the parrot that talked thief, how could he take advantage of it? I was afraid that he was angry and anxious, and he couldn't even jump out a word, and he even cried loudly?

Hahahaha, when the ridiculous scene came out, the emperor couldn't help laughing happily, and wanted to see the two little girls being defeated.

Besides, just talk. What else can you get when you quarrel with the parrot repeater? Have you never heard of the joke that the birds in the house are so angry?

Seeing the emperor laughing happily, Zhang Yan achieved her goal, and accompanied her with a smile on her face, gently stroked her bulging belly, looking happy and satisfied.

After a while, the emperor stopped laughing and his eyes moved to the queen's belly with Zhang Yan's movements.

"I will have a prince next year!" Zhu Youxiao raised his eyes and looked at the queen and smiled: "Boy is more naughty and more fun than a girl."

Zhang Yan chuckled and said, "The emperor still knows how to look at the eyes? How do you know that I am not a girl?"

Zhu Youxiao pretended to be profound and touched his chin and said, "As the saying goes, my daughter dresses up as a mother. I think the queen is not as good-looking as before, so wouldn't she be pregnant with a boy?"

Zhang Yan blinked her big eyes, frowned slightly, and said to herself: "Have you really become ugly? I look in the mirror, and I feel the same way."

It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect that Zhang Yan took it seriously. She was in a bad mood, which was not good for pregnant women.

The emperor laughed and said, "The pearl is still beautiful and charming, I am teasing you. However, when I give birth to a boy, I am always indifferent to my words."

Although Zhang Yan was not completely relieved, her thoughts were distracted. As the queen, she had a son in one fell swoop, which was a major event for everyone to celebrate. She was happy in her heart, so she smiled and nodded, "The emperor is the Supreme Lord, so naturally whatever he said is."

After pausing, Zhang Yan said with concern: "The emperor is diligent in political affairs and the country is booming. But you should also pay more attention to your health and not work too hard."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and showed it with a bent arm. Although he couldn't see the muscles, he also gave people a very strong feeling, at least he felt that way.

"I am young and strong, and I can't get tired of some political affairs."

Zhang Yan smiled and reached out to take an orange, peeled it with her own hands, and carefully took the white silk on it before handing it to the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao took it with a smile, then separated one petal after another, and fed it to the queen.

Zhang Yan's face turned slightly red. She couldn't bear to ignore the emperor's care. She opened her warm and red mouth, ate a few petals, and then gave it to the emperor for food.

The emperor stuffed the remaining oranges into his mouth in one bite, and the juice flowed out of the corners of his mouth. The queen smiled angrily and wiped it clean with a silk handkerchief.

Zhang Yan was too orthodox and grew up reading "The Women's Commandments". Most women in that era were like this. Concubine Wang Liang and Concubine Duan Chun were all similar in style.

It’s hard to say that he doesn’t like it, but the emperor feels that he is not as relaxed and comfortable with Yuer, Li Chengcheng, and Fan Xiaohui. Of course, the emperor is very nice to his women, and although he is biased, it is normal.

I am all about them, I am their god. Zhu Youxiao knew that the status of men in the family was the same, whether it was a queen, concubine, or a folk woman.

Therefore, for them, Zhu Youxiao had to live well. Although he entered the palace, he was indispensable for his wealth and food. However, the lonely and cold palace in the deep palace was not much different from the ancient Buddha in the green lamp.

After turning his face, Zhu Youxiao saw Wang Tigan. Lao Wang didn't dare to get close to disturb him, and was explaining something to a palace maid.

He shrugged helplessly. Zhu Youxiao knew that there was another military report. This was his rule. He must submit it immediately at any time and must not be delayed.

Zhang Yan also saw it and said with a smile: "National affairs are the most important, I will send you to the emperor."

"It will be good for Baozhu's body to move on." Zhu Youxiao stood up, stretched out his arms, and let the queen take a walk out slowly.

"I kowtow to the emperor and the queen," Wang Tigan kowtowed from a distance and kowtowed.

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Eunuch Wang, please come up. Please give me some effort in the Qing Palace. Please serve the emperor well, so long live the fatigue of the emperor."

"I can save you, please don't worry, Qiansui." Wang Tigan hurriedly promised and stood beside him.

The emperor gently patted the queen's hand, walked away, and said, "Go back, just to exercise your body."

"Yes, yes." Wang Tigan gave a deep bow to the queen again before following the emperor with a small step.

The emperor didn't ask what military situation it was. If it was a secret report, Wang Tigan would not dare to peek at it if he had a hundred courageous attitude.

No matter how urgent the military situation is, there is no telegram or telephone number, and it will be impossible to delay anything when you walk to the Ganqing Palace to look at it.

Liaodong's combat plan has been confirmed, and there is no aggressive move. It should be no big problem to kill and consume Jiannu with powerful firepower.

The emperor just did his own work well, mobilized the largest amount of ships to transport ammunition and medicine, and the Weapons and Powder Bureau also worked overtime to produce and manufacture.

According to the emperor's deduction on the sand table, the Ming army's combat power was stronger and stronger, and Jiannu's support would become increasingly difficult.

When Jiannu was forced to rely on the city to persevere, the battle to combat Liao was basically over. Jiannu, who sacrificed his strength and lost his advantage in field battle, was never defeated.

After returning to the Ganqing Palace, after Zhu Youxiao sat down, Wang Tigan presented a secret box.

After a glance, Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised. It turned out to be sent by Cao Zhenghua, the Liaodong Military Information Department.

In the action of instigating Liu Xingzuo, Cao Zhenghua made an indelible contribution and was promoted to Qianhu, the Jinyiwei who was in charge of the Liaodong Military Information Department.

The emperor tore off the seal, opened the box and took out the secret song. When he opened it, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

It’s really the tree fell and the money scattered. The war has not yet come to an end. Many people are already pessimistic and desperate, and are not optimistic about the future of Jiannu.

The emperor pondered for a moment, picked up his pen and spread the paper, and wrote an imperial compliment to Cao Zhenghua.

This is a good start and will be a big blow to the morale of Jiannu. It is an ancient and effective means to recruit rebels.
