In the thirteenth year of the Great Shang Dynasty, Zhou Yang led an army to attack the Huns in the north, and it took three years to recover the Huns.

In the 16th year of the Great Shang Dynasty, the Lingnan barbarians arose in the south.

Zhou Yang led his troops to exterminate the barbarians, and it took him four years to drive the barbarians back to Lingnan. In the last battle, General Zhou was seriously injured.

Chen Xiaohu went into battle at the critical moment and led 50,000 generals to plant the flag of the Shang Dynasty on the last piece of land that General Zhou had not conquered.

In the 20th year of the Great Shang Dynasty, Zhou Yang was seriously injured and had not recovered, Chen Xiaohu had not returned to Lingnan, and the Xirong invaded.

The Xirong are a nomadic people who are competitive, brave and good at fighting.

If nothing happens to Zhou Yang and Chen Xiaohu is still in the court, then Xirong will never dare to attack the Shang Dynasty.

In the past few years, the Great Shang Dynasty has been fighting for years, and the land and people it has recovered have more than doubled than when the capital was first established. The elementary school and Qi Academy founded by Lu Xige have slowly taken root in various places. Children in most areas, even if they cannot read more

After several years of studying, I have learned some survival skills.

Talents appeared frequently in the court, and civil servants and military officers each achieved their own achievements.

The national destiny of the Great Shang Dynasty almost reached its peak in just a few years.

The main reason why Xirong invaded the border this time was because of the heavy snowfall last winter, and many of the tribe's cattle, sheep and livestock died of cold and starvation. When spring came, they had no livestock to exchange for money and no food to satisfy their hunger, so they had to find ways to go to the Central Plains to grab food.

Just in the past few years, the Great Shang had recovered the Northern Hungarians and the Southern Barbarians. Seeing that Xirong was about to become the next target of the Great Shang, it was better to strike first. Maybe the Great Shang had fought successively and their national strength was insufficient, so they would have defeated them.

As long as they win, at least Xirong will have a few years of breathing space.

Hearing that Xirong was harassing people at the border, the young prince Chen Luxing secretly brought a group of people to Xirong. He left a message to Lu Shege, saying that he would never return Xirong until he broke it, and asked his father and queen not to worry about him.

Don't worry about him?

At this moment, Lu Sheige wished he could drag Chen Luxing back and give him a good beating.

Perhaps her personality was a little gentler, because the second brother only left behind a son and a daughter, and Lu Xiangge was somewhat kind to the two children but not strict.

It was also because she was usually easy to talk to that gave Chen Luxing the courage to lead his men to destroy Xirong.

When Gongsun Wanying got the news, she almost fainted. She didn't dare to say anything, so she could only come to Lu Xiuge secretly to discuss: "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

She never expected that Chen Luxing would be so bold as to secretly leave a letter and run away.

If he really ran away, he would just go around the city. He actually said he was going to Xirong. The people of Xirong are so cruel. Can he be able to cure them with just one child?

Lu Xiangge raised his hand and handed the queen a handkerchief, gesturing for her to wipe her tears: "It's okay. Eunuch Cheng has already sent someone to chase her. I think we will catch up soon."

If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Luxing will be able to recover him in two or three days at most.

Gongsun Wanying didn't bother to wipe her tears and asked, "What if Xing'er can't be chased back?"

Lu Sheige said with a cold face: "If you can't chase him back, let him go to Xirong to have a look, and let him suffer a little, so that he won't know what to do."

"His Majesty."

Gongsun Wanying shouted dissatisfied, "Xing'er is still a child, how can your majesty bear it. If, if something happens to Xing'er, I, I will not be alive."

Saying that, Gongsun Wanying couldn't bear it anymore, covered her mouth and cried out.

She only has one son, Xing'er, who is the future prince of the Shang Dynasty. If something really happens, what will she and Ming'er do?

Lu Xiuge watched Gongsun Wanying cry. He was not moved, but rather angry: "Then the queen told me, who is responsible for Xing'er leaving a letter and running away this time? Is it because I, the father, is not strict with the children, or is it because the queen is doting on her?"

Too much?"

It's not that Lu Sheige doesn't care about Chen Luxing, on the contrary, she is most attentive to Chen Luxing.

If a prince or future emperor is not educated well, he may destroy the foundation of Dashang, and the people of Dashang will suffer.

When Lu Hebei was still alive, he took Chen Luxing by his side to raise him because Empress Gongsun was weak-tempered and loved her children unprincipled.

In recent years, the relationship between Lu Sheige and Empress Gongsun has not been as good as when they first met. Most of the time, one of them presided over the government and the other managed the harem, and they did not interfere with each other. Only in the education of their two children, especially Chen Luxing,

On education, opinions differ greatly.

Lu Sheige was a little harsher on Chen Luxing, so Gongsun Wanying came to Lu Sheige to plead for mercy.

What child is still young, he will be sensible when he grows up. What child is pitiful? Considering that he is the only heir of the Lu family and his father died young, how can you, as an aunt, bear it...

The two sisters-in-law had great differences over the education of their children. There were many times when even the Queen Mother, who lived in the harem, ate fasting, chanted Buddha's prayers, and paid no attention to worldly affairs, was alarmed by them and came to mediate between the two sisters in person.

Now, Lu Sheige said this about Gongsun Wanying, and Gongsun Wanying was immediately speechless.

Gongsun Wanying wanted to defend herself, but she opened her mouth: "Your Majesty, I am..."

In the end, she didn't say anything. She didn't expect Lu Xiangge to be so disrespectful to her, and she was stunned for a moment.

Lu Xiangge ignored Empress Gongsun's blankness and continued: "The empress has always said that Xing'er is still a child, but has the empress ever thought that he is the prince, the future prince, and the emperor who will inherit the great Shang Dynasty. If the empress wants to

Xing'er will be my child for life, then who should I hand over to this great Shang Dynasty in the future, Ming'er?"

Empress Gongsun said in a panic: "No, no, yes...but Ming'er is still a child after all. Besides, it's not your Majesty you now..."

Lu Shege laughed, but what he said was a bit heart-wrenching: "Don't you think the queen can rest assured that I will be the emperor for the rest of my life? Let your son be the crown prince for the rest of his life?"

"I……"

Queen Gongsun became panicked for a moment.

Of course she was unwilling. Not only was she unwilling, but she was also worried that one day Lu Xiangge would become accustomed to the honor of this great person and would not be willing to give up his position, and would he hold Xing'er hostage and continue to control this great business empire.

The reason why Gongsun Wanying always intervened in Lu Sheige's education was partly because she was worried that the child would be too close to Lu Sheige and not close to her. More importantly, she was worried that her son would be brainwashed by Lu Shege and eventually become a puppet emperor.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Wanying wants to be friends with Lu Xiangge, but is always wary of it.

Gongsun Wanying was persuaded by Lu Xiangge and quickly explained, "I, I have no doubts about Your Majesty. It's just that Xing'er is still young."

Lu Xiuge: "He is not young anymore. He is already thirteen years old this year. If his second brother hadn't entrusted him with it, the responsibility of this big business should have been his responsibility long ago. Instead of letting him be as naive as a child now, what do he want to do?

Just do it as it is, never thinking about the consequences.”

The queen was speechless for a moment after what Lu Shege said.

Yes, Chen Luxing is not young anymore, he is thirteen years old. In two years at most, he will still have to inherit the great business empire.
