Chapter 319 The Unification of the World 13 Because Han Wanzhou left Lin'an with his whole family, a new person emerged in the Jiangnan Special Administrative Region: Shi Miyuan. Because Han Wanzhou wanted to avoid suspicion, when negotiating with Xin Qiji later, Shi Miyuan, the Minister of Rites, made great efforts. Therefore, after the incident was completed, he was promoted to Right Chancellor. Although he did not also serve as Privy Councilor, this was already a great promotion. The reason why Shi Miyuan skipped the post of Minister of Rites and was directly promoted to the right minister was directly related to his close relationship with Yang Cishan. Yang Cishan's official position is not very high. The reason why he has great energy is mainly because of his surname: Yang. Now Zhao Kuo¡¯s queen is no longer named Han, and Han Zhongwei¡¯s cousin has died of illness, so Zhao Kuo made Concubine Yang his queen. Empress Yang came from a humble background, a pure commoner, and not long after she entered the palace, her parents both died within a few years. At that time, she was just a singer and could not attend to her father's funeral. Although Queen Yang had a poor background, she had an ambition to get ahead. She was young and beautiful. She attracted the attention of Zhao Kuo when she was still in Prince Jia's palace, and was later adopted as a concubine. After Empress Han was ill, she finally jumped over the dragon's gate and climbed to the position of empress. Queen Yang is not as ambitious as Zhao Kuo. Although she climbed to the throne of the queen, she still wants to interfere in the government affairs. It's just that the harem is not easy to do politics. If you want to do politics, you can only find a suitable agent. There is nothing that can be done about this, because the harem usually relies on its natal family members: "foreign relatives" when it comes to political affairs. However, Empress Yang has no parents, uncles, uncles, uncles of the bride, and no brothers or sisters. There is nothing she can do to find this relative. Finally she found Yang Cishan and recognized him as her brother. Yang Cishan was of course extremely happy when a god-sister fell from the sky and became the queen. After he became sworn sworn kinsmen to Queen Yang, he was promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank. From then on, the mansion was filled with guests and busy with traffic. Of course, Queen Yang, the godbrother, could not just be satisfied with his own glory, he also had to work for Queen Yang. In order to prove that he was a useful talent, Yang Cishan approached Shi Miyuan and invited him to join. Shi Miyuan's father is Shi Hao, who was the teacher of Xiaozong Zhao Min. Who is Shi Hao? He has signed peace treaties with the Jin State on behalf of the Song Dynasty many times, and he can be said to have a family background in negotiation. Shi Miyuan is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely and has a great desire for power. As soon as Yang Cishan comes to visit, the two hit it off. Therefore, Shi Miyuan was the main representative in the negotiations with Xin Qiji, which also laid a solid foundation for him to rise to the position of right minister after the agreement was signed. After the negotiation, Queen Yang personally encouraged Shi Miyuan, and Shi Miyuan's promotion was a foregone conclusion. With the support of the harem, Shi Miyuan immediately started to get busy, and he formed alliances with Qian Zhizhi, his former boss, Wei Jing, the Minister of Rites, Wang Qi'an, the former Yousi Lang official, etc. The joining of these people gave him the strength to compete with Liu Zheng immediately. When Han Wanzhou was still in the court, Zhao Kuo basically didn't care about anything. He trusted Han Wanzhou very much. But now that Shi Miyuan came to power, he also has no doubts about Liu Zheng and Shi Miyuan. It should be said that Zhao Kuo is not an ambitious person. Not only does he have no ambition, on the contrary, he is very willing to be mediocre. According to the data provided by Ding Chuan to Han Zhongwei, Zhao Kuo should be the most mediocre and incompetent emperor in the Song Dynasty from the founding emperor to himself. His ability to govern was not even as good as that of his mentally ill father Zhao Dun. The last time Zhao Kuo met Han Zhongwei, if Han Zhongwei hadn't endangered his throne, he probably wouldn't have had such great courage. But after his meeting with Han Zhongwei, he fell seriously ill after returning home. According to the imperial doctor's diagnosis, he was overly frightened. In fact, Zhao Kuo was also very self-aware. When Han Wanzhou launched a coup and asked him to become emperor early, he jumped in opposition, shouting that he could not and did not dare. Many times, when he even had to meet foreign envoys, he always remained silent and let the eunuchs around him answer for him. What does it mean? Extreme lack of self-confidence. And when dealing with government affairs, his unique secret is to nod frequently but say nothing. The most distinctive thing was that when he was reviewing memorials, no matter whose memorial it was or what it was about, he would always mark it with one stroke of his pen: "Yes". Sometimes, when the ministers had different opinions on something, and even when the two sides insisted on different opinions and were tit-for-tat, he would still comment with the word "but" as usual, which made the ministers of the Song Dynasty often confused and confused. I don¡¯t know what the emperor¡¯s attitude is, and I don¡¯t know who he supports. This situation has improved significantly after Han Wanzhou entered the DPRK. Han Wanzhou also relied on the qualifications of internal approval to climb to the pinnacle of power step by step. But now that Han Wanzhou has left, a fierce competition has immediately arisen for the qualifications for this internal batch. On the surface, it is Liu Zheng and Shi Miyuan who are competing for the right to this internal batch. In fact, it is between Empress Yang and Liu Zheng.Battle. The reason why Zhao Kuo appointed Concubine Yang, who was born as a commoner, as his queen was because he liked this beauty who was eloquent and thoughtful. Therefore, Liu Zheng was doomed to fail in this battle. This not only frustrated Liu Zheng, but also annoyed Han Zhongwei who was far away in Zhongdu. This Queen Yang and Shi Miyuan disrupted his plan. Originally, with Liu Zheng as a super internal agent, Han Zhongwei wanted to turn the Jiangnan Special Administrative Region into his real administrative region without any effort. But now, the actual power of Jiangnan District will soon fall into the hands of Queen Yang and Shi Miyuan. These two are ambitious people. Who knows what they will do? Jiangnan District now nominally belongs to China, and will belong to China in the future. He will not allow others to mess up Jiangnan, which already belongs to him. But now Han Zhongwei can't attack Jiangnan District, even in private. Except for the small actions Han Zhongwei made in Lin'an before signing the agreement, he asked Ding Chuan to suspend all new actions. Han Zhongwei didn't want to be the first to break the agreement. that side. Even Han Zhongwei cannot give Liu Zheng actual support now, and he can only rely on himself for everything. However, Liu Zheng was obviously no match for Shi Miyuan, a man who was proficient in political power. The power in the court soon fell into the hands of Shi Miyuan. Although he was the right prime minister, and Liu was the left prime minister and the privy envoy, Shi Miyuan But he has the emperor as his backing. "Master, would you like to send some people to help Liu Zheng?" Ding Chuan knew Han Zhongwei's thoughts best. As the Minister of Public Security, he was responsible for the national intelligence network. "No, at least not yet. Since I signed an agreement with them, I must abide by the contract, otherwise the agreement will become a piece of waste paper?" Han Zhongwei shook his head, although he also wanted to send someone, and even he knew that even if If he really interfered in Jiangnan District's affairs, no one else would know except Liu Zheng. Although he said that the ends justify the means, he was very stubborn on this matter. "It is conceivable that before long, Shi Miyuan will dominate the Jiangnan District." Ding Chuan sighed. "If you want to cover the sky with one hand, let's cover the sky with the other hand. Before they violate the agreement, we cannot violate it first. This is a principle. You must remember it." Han Zhongwei said. "If this is really the case, how long will it take for us to take back the Song Dynasty?" Ding Chuan asked angrily. "Ding Chuan, you have to remember one thing. There is no Song State now, there is only the Jiangnan Special Administrative Region, and this Jiangnan Region is still our territory." Han Zhongwei said, many people have the same idea as Ding Chuan, thinking that Jiangnan The district is still the Song Dynasty, and now Zhao Kuo still has the final say in everything in Jiangnan District. Therefore, in their view, Jiangnan District cannot be regarded as China's territory. "Yes." Ding Chuan said. Since Han Zhongwei made such a request so clearly, no matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to disobey Han Zhongwei's order. "Ding Chuan, for Jiangnan District, we can only act quietly. Now that Jiangnan District has been merged into our country, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, our best way is to wait." Han Zhongwei said. "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will ensure that Jiangnan District will not let me have any complaints against the central government." Ding Chuan said solemnly. After speaking, he said with a smile: "My Majesty, I heard that the Empress is happy, I wonder if Really?" "You really know everything." Han Zhongwei scolded with a smile. "I heard from the imperial doctor that the queen of the country is happy, which is also a happy event for us. I suggest that the whole country celebrates." Ding Chuan said with a smile. "It's still early for the whole country to celebrate. Let's wait until after the birth to talk about it." Han Zhongwei said with a smile. How could he be in the mood to celebrate now because he was worried about Zhao Yuting. He and Zhao Yuting have been married for more than four years, but it was only recently that Zhao Yuting was happily married, which made Wu Cuier, who had just arrived in Zhongdu not long ago, extremely happy. Now Wu Cuier has become the mother of the country, and Han Zhongwei is her son. No one can refute this. Even Wu Meiping has wisely promoted Wu Cuier to the position of mistress. Although Wu Meiping is Han Wanzhou's first wife, although she has a noble status, and although Wu Cuier was once her maid, but because Wu Cuier gave birth to a good son and established such a large empire, she, the mistress, cannot stand in front of her former maid. Now I can only stay with you and be careful. Especially after coming to Zhongdu, Wu Cuier was clearly designated as the mother of the country, and Wu Meiping never made any mistakes again. Fortunately, Wu Cui'er has always been a weak character. She is not a person who strives for power and gain, and she has no ambitions. But after all, her identity is there. After Wu Meiping arrived in Zhongdu, she did not live in the palace. In order not to greet Wu Cui'er every day, she Moved to live outside the palace. It was Han Wanzhou who accompanied Wu Cuier and moved into the palace. Now Han Zhongwei is the head of the country, and Han Wanzhou is the head of the country. This identity makes Han Wanzhou?'s heart was greatly satisfied. Although Han Zhongwei is not his legitimate son, no one can deny the fact that Han Zhongwei is his son. Just a few days ago, Wu Cuier called Han Zhongwei and said that Zhao Yuting had never had children and was probably suffering from stomach problems. She wanted Han Zhongwei to marry a few more times. Now Han Zhongwei is the leader of the country. Although he has not proclaimed himself emperor, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time. Since Han Zhongwei is going to become the emperor, then there must be three palaces and six courtyards, right? And now that Han Zhongwei only has one wife, even an ordinary family would feel that it is not enough, not to mention Han Zhongwei's status is so noble? As a mother, in addition to wanting her son to live a good life, the only thing left is probably to hope that her son will have many children and be blessed. And if you want to have many children, the best way is to have multiple wives and spread the branches and leaves. The first thing Wu Cuier did after arriving in Zhongdu was to choose a wife for him. During this period, the ministers of the DPRK who heard the news, whether they had daughters to be married, or beautiful relatives, would lead them to see Wu Cuier. Only by falling in her eyes first could she become Han Zhongwei's concubine. ¡° Few people had heard of Wu Cuier before, but this time after Wu Cuier arrived in Zhongdu, Han Zhongwei¡¯s men realized how filial he, the leader of the country, was to his mother. Before Wu Cui'er arrived in Zhongdu, Han Zhongwei personally went to greet her thirty miles outside the city. This courtesy was not available to Han Wanzhou who came to Zhongdu in advance. If you can't see the importance of Wu Cuier in Han Zhongwei's mind, then Han Zhongwei personally drove Wu Cuier's carriage and acted as the driver as the head of the country. Everyone knew that the mother of the country was in Han Zhongwei's heart. What an important position it actually occupies in my mind. Now that Wu Cuier is looking for a wife for Han Zhongwei, why don¡¯t the people below step up their efforts to please her? The time for Han Zhongwei to unify the world is not far away. Everyone knows what Han Zhongwei will face. If he becomes the emperor, he will be the real master of the world. If you can become his concubine, even a not-so-important concubine, as a relative of the emperor, you will live your life in glory and wealth. Fortunately, at this time, news of Zhao Yuting's pregnancy came out. Han Zhongwei thought to himself, now his mother should let him go, right? But unexpectedly, Wu Cuier not only did not relax the pace of inspecting the future wife, but even accelerated the pace. Her reasons were so good that Han Zhongwei couldn't even refute. Now that Zhao Yuting is pregnant, Han Zhongwei must be lonely in the house. Only by speeding up his marriage to more wives can he avoid living a five-on-one life at night. Zhao Yuting was the result of the discussion between Han Wanzhou and Zhao Yuyan. Although Han Zhongwei found an opportunity to see Zhao Yuting secretly, before the engagement, neither Han Wanzhou nor Wu Cui'er asked Han Zhongwei's opinion. The marriage was decided for him. In the past, when Han Zhongwei was no longer with Wu Cuier, he was free to live alone. No one could interfere with his private affairs. But now that Wu Cui'er has arrived, Han Zhongwei will go to greet her every morning and evening, and every time he sees Wu Cui'er, what she wants to say is either his daughter-in-law or his grandson, making Han Zhongwei unstoppable and unable to retreat. After Ding Chuan left, Han Zhongwei went to the harem to see Wu Cui'er. Because Zhao Yuting was pregnant, Wu Cui'er asked Zhao Yuting to live in the same palace with her. Wu Cui'er had been here and had been serving people for half her life. She had her own ideas about how to take care of Zhao Yuting. Experience. Sometimes, if the maids did not do their best, she would even take action herself. Zhao Yuting was so shocked that she almost had a miscarriage because of this. Later, under Han Zhongwei's persuasion, she stopped doing that thing of serving others. Although Zhao Yuting is Han Zhongwei's official wife and has been named queen, Zhao Yuting knows very well that between her and Wu Cui'er, Han Zhongwei is firmly on Wu Cui'er's side. What's more, Wu Cuier's current status, whether she is the mother of the country or her mother-in-law, is someone she must serve carefully. How can she dare to let Wu Cuier serve her in turn? "Wei'er, my mother has taken a fancy to a woman today. When you come over tomorrow, I will let you take a look." When Wu Cui'er saw Han Zhongwei, the first thing she talked about was indeed the concubine. ¡°Mom, there¡¯s no rush to get married, there¡¯s no rush.¡± Han Zhongwei chuckled. "You are not in a hurry, I am in a hurry. The country cannot be without a master for a day. You are the master of a country now, but you cannot have no heirs. Although the queen is pregnant now, who can guarantee that she will have a son? And there is only one. No, the one in Lin'an has eight sons, so you can at least give me ten grandsons," Wu Cuier said. The one in Lin'an she was talking about was Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo still has no heirs. It was not because he was incompetent, but because all his sons died in infancy and none of them were brought up. Zhao Kuo died every time he was born, and eight died in succession, leaving Zhao Kuo still without heirs. "Now the world is not completely unified. There is Mongolia in the north, Liao Kingdom in the west, and Dali in the south. My son wants to wait until the world is truly unified before he can have children."Zhongwei said bravely. "It will be too late by then," Wu Cuier said angrily. "How can it be too late? It only takes three to five years at most." Han Zhongwei said with a smile, "If you want to hold a hundred grandchildren, I will give birth to them for you." "You can talk beautifully, but no, I want to Now I see you getting married. If you want to give me a hundred grandchildren, you must marry at least fifty wives. In the past, no one would pay attention to anything she said or did. But now after arriving in Zhongdu, with Han Zhongwei's status "rising from the ground and rushing into the clouds", almost everyone in Dujiangyan City was cautious when seeing her, for fear of saying the wrong thing, even Han Wanzhou, which made her Wu Cuier's temper began to become more stubborn without her realizing it. "Fifty? Even if I change one a day, I can't arrange them in a month. Too much sex will be harmful to the body. Mom, aren't you worried about your son's health?" Han Zhongwei said with a bitter smile. "That's true, then let's marry thirty." Wu Cuier thought for a while and said seriously. "Thirty?" Han Zhongwei was dumbfounded. He must have believed too much in his "ability". "Yes, thirty, no more. If there are no more, I'm worried that you won't be able to give birth to a hundred grandchildren for me to hold." Wu Cuier made this through careful "calculation". She is a woman, and a daughter will have to give birth to three children. Five children may be able to do it, but there is no guarantee that all of them will be boys. Collect()
