Chapter 459: Four years

As for what exactly was discussed between the emperors of Wei and Song, no one knows.

But after this meeting, Song State withdrew fifty miles from the border. Seeing Song's behavior, Wei State also retreated fifty miles.

Some people are speculating that the two emperors should be talking about some matters related to 'peace', each making concessions to avoid the occurrence of a war.

Zhao Changqing did not continue to stay at the border, but chose to return to Luoyang.

Before leaving, he specifically told Zhao Hongji to humbly stay with Chen Qingzhi to study the exercises.

When we were leaving, I took a special look at my daughter-in-law's figure. She was not out of shape, not fat, and obviously not pregnant.

Seeing this, Zhao Changqing sighed.

Zhao Qingwen's face was red with embarrassment.

Zhao Hongji also scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

It was already a few months before I returned to Luoyang.

Zhao Changqing gained a lot from this tour of Chu and Jin. In any case, people everywhere showed great respect for the emperor's tour.

Let the people's hearts be more stable.

The city of Luoyang remains the same as when I left.

In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Royal Palace.

As soon as Zhao Changqing arrived in Luoyang, he was dragged here by Zhuge Liang.

After leaving for more than half a year, the accumulated government affairs have become a mountain high.

These are all government affairs that have been dealt with long ago and require Zhao Changqing's approval.

Of course, there was no need for approval, but this was Zhuge Liang's deliberate move. He didn't want to see the emperor leaving Luoyang easily.

Zhao Changqing said helplessly: "I am very relieved that the government affairs are handled by you, not to mention the prince's assistance."

After saying this, we will leave Xuanzheng Hall.

In an instant, Zhuge Liang's entire face turned a little dark.

"Your Majesty, I beg you, please take a look."

The only one who can push Zhuge Liang to this level is Zhao Changqing.

He suddenly thought of something and asked Zhuge Liang: "How is the progress of the imperial newspaper I asked you to organize?"

Zhuge Liang said: "He is already somewhat famous among the scholars."

Zhao Changqing praised: "Very good, but I not only want to make Huangbao famous among Shilin, but the most important thing is to influence the people in various places, so that people in the three places can achieve their goals through the content spread in Huangbao.

The purpose of peaceful coexistence.”

Zhuge Liang said: "We have just begun to take care of it now, and King Changlin has just taken over. It will probably take some time for the influence of the Imperial News to reach your Majesty's expectations."

Zhao Changqing said: "You and Chang Lin must keep this matter in mind. The imperial newspaper is related to the people's hearts and must not be taken lightly."

Zhuge Liang nodded.

Zhao Changqing waved his hand to him and motioned for him to go down.

Zhuge Liang slowly retreated. As soon as he exited the Xuanzheng Hall, he felt that something was wrong.

Suddenly looking back, I found that the emperor was no longer in the palace.

Just for a moment, you disappeared?

Shouldn't I supervise His Majesty's reading of the memorial?

This issue...

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang smiled helplessly.

For the rest of the days, Zhao Changqing was basically in a state of having a half-day of leisure.

After finally having such a harmonious life, Zhao Changqing must take advantage of it.

At the end of the year, Zhao Hongqing married Zhuge Liang's daughter Zhuge Linglong in accordance with Zhao Changqing's wishes.

My two most promising sons are already married, so they are just short of having children.

It can be regarded as settling a major matter in my heart.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, four full years have passed.

In the past four years, with the help of Zhuge Liang's reform of government affairs, Wei State quickly gained a strong military force.

Currently, the establishment of heavy armored cavalry is full.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang also trained a Zhuge Liannu army of 200,000 troops.

The overall military strength of Wei State has reached a terrifying level of 2.3 million troops.

This does not include the local garrison.

Wei's current state is already at its peak.

When Zhao Changqing ascended the throne more than 20 years ago, he never thought that one day he would be able to command an army of 2.3 million people.

Including the defenders in various places, the military strength of the Wei Dynasty can reach a terrifying three million troops.

Such a huge military force almost made Zhao Changqing lose himself. Now he can't wait to start a war with Tang State.

But this matter cannot be rushed.

With a strong army and strong horses, Wei State only needed supplies of grain and grass.

According to Zhuge Liang's vision, he would need to provide at least three to four years of food for his two million troops before he could declare war on Tang.

It will take at least a year to prepare so much food and fodder.

Zhao Changqing is not in a hurry. He is ready for everything. He cannot wait for the east wind to take action just because he is impatient.

In the past four years, the prince has given birth to a grandson for Zhao Changqing.

Zhao Changqing played with his grandson every day and left all matters to the prince.

On this day, a big event happened on the border of Wei State.

After the prince received the news, he left the East Palace in a hurry.

Zhuge Linglong quickly asked: "What happened? It's so urgent?"

The prince did not have time to explain, so he only said one sentence, "There is something wrong at the border."

Throughout the ages, every dynasty has always been afraid of trouble on its frontiers.

Zhuge Linglong looked at the prince's leaving figure and murmured: "Something happened on the border? Could it be the Tang Dynasty?"

As a woman, she started to feel a little panicked.

If there really is a problem on the Tang side, it is estimated that another earth-shattering national war will break out.

The prince hurriedly arrived at the emperor's palace and found that his teacher and father-in-law had also arrived.

"Teacher, do you know everything?" Although she married Zhuge Linglong, privately, they still regarded her as teacher and student.

After all, I have called myself teacher for so many years, so I am still a little uncomfortable with suddenly changing my name.

Zhuge Liang nodded, "Your Highness, please go in first and talk later."

Gao Lishi was staying at the entrance of the palace at this moment, stopped the two of them, and said: "Your Royal Highness, Prime Minister, Your Majesty has already issued an order. If you two come, please wait outside the palace for a while."

The prince Zhao Hongqing has always disliked eunuchs and said slightly angrily: "Bold slave, do you know what is going on? If you really delay, I will definitely take issue with you!"

Although Gao Lishi was afraid, he did not dare to let these two people in because His Majesty's order was in front of him.

In the palace, the emperor's displeased voice came, "Who is it? It turns out to be the prince. Come in, Prime Minister, come in too."

Zhao Hongqing snorted to Gao Lishi, then walked into the palace, followed closely by Zhuge Liang.

They saw that the emperor was playing with his grandson Zhao Yuan, holding his grandson in his arms and acting coquettishly on him, and calling him "good grandson" from time to time.

And Zhao Yuan also looked at Zhao Changqing with a smile, scratching his face with his little hands at every turn, and said, "Good Grandpa Emperor."

Zhao Changqing was very happy when he said "Good Grandfather", but His Royal Highness was almost sweating on his forehead.

In the past few years, Zhao Changqing has changed a lot. He has some white hair and a beard.

According to the previous life, he is already middle-aged.

This year, Zhao Changqing is almost forty.

"Yuan'er, can Grandpa Huang play with you again later?"

After the two of them entered the palace and drank several cups of hot tea, Zhao Changqing begged Zhao Yuan for mercy.

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said angrily: "No!"

Zhao Hongqing immediately said: "Yuan'er, don't be ridiculous, daddy wants to tell you something."

Zhao Yuan pursed his lips in grievance.

Zhao Changqing cursed: "Are you saying that my good grandson won't give it a try?"

Zhao Hongqing was immediately speechless.

After a while, he said: "Father, your child will be spoiled by you."

"Spoiled?" Zhao Changqing snorted coldly: "This child is smarter than you, how can you say he is spoiled?"

Zhao Hongqing did not dare to speak.

Zhao Changqing stroked his beard and said: "I know the purpose of the two of you, you are just clowns. I have already asked Zhao Yun to rush to the border. For a while, this battle can't be fought. The Tang State is just bluffing. Its purpose is to
