In addition to these five sons and five daughters, in fact, outside the palace, Gao Guiying has a son, Dou Meiyi has a daughter, and Bian Yujing has recently shown her pregnancy, and her feminine glory is strong.
Since there is no shortage of heirs, there is no need for these children outside the palace to enter the palace, and it is good to raise them among the people.
"Daddy——" The eldest princess and the second princess, wearing beautiful dresses, flew into their arms like butterflies.
Zhu Yixi hugged her happily, her heart full of joy.
Ming Dynasty: The emperor's aunt is called the eldest princess, the emperor's sister is called the eldest princess, and the emperor's daughter is called the princess.
The two girls were three months apart. The young slave was shy, while the young slave was generous. He was doted on by the emperor and was very close to him.
"Father——"
The eldest son of the concubine, who was only three years old and was only four years old, turning five years old in a few months, held hands with his compatriot sister and the second daughter of the emperor, and bowed tremblingly.
The two were a rare twin of a dragon and a phoenix in the Ming Dynasty.
It would be troublesome if they were twins, but the yin and yang of a dragon and a phoenix are balanced. When the twins were born, the entire shogunate was overjoyed and considered it auspicious.
It's a pity that after the birth of the eldest son, it can only be auspicious.
"Yes! Get up." Looking at the dignified and polite eldest son, Zhu Yixi also had high hopes.
Afterwards, the princes and princesses who could walk also bowed cutely and swaying under the leadership of their grandmother.
Since it was winter, each of them was wrapped into little rice dumplings. Their little faces were plump and very cute.
Seeing the emperor smiling and feeling good, the concubines also laughed.
In the Ming Dynasty, the princes and princesses, even those who died young, would be ranked in order. Only by the Qing Dynasty, the order of eight years old became the rule.
Finally, the eldest son, who was more than one year old, was held in his arms and was jumping with his little feet. He was also very excited.
"Everyone, sit down!"
Zhu Yixi said hello, and the concubines took their seats one after another, while the children ate individually under the guidance of the wet nurse.
The dignified and generous Queen Sun Xueniang, the cool Miaoxian, the long-legged Sun Xuan'er, the childlike face and breasts of Huang Jie'er, the twins carved from the same mold, sisters Zhang Yu and Zhang Man.
The charming and naive Sun Damiang, and the clever and interesting Mu Haner.
Each of the girls has their own characteristics, making them unforgettable.
"I wonder how the Forbidden City compares to Nanjing?"
After the meal, the couple began to talk and the atmosphere became harmonious.
"It's too cold in Beijing." Queen Sun Xueniang shook her head and said, "The third brother can't stand it, his nose is running!"
"Yeah, it's too cold here in Beijing. Even if there is a fireplace, it would be too uncomfortable."
Sun Damiang, who had a bulging belly, didn't realize it. She was eating melon seeds and drinking tea, and couldn't help pouting her mouth and complaining.
Everyone turned a blind eye to this.
The emperor is his brother-in-law and husband, and the queen is her sister. Who in the harem can do anything to her? They can only condone her.
"If you ask me, Beijing is better, it's great!"
Sun Xuan'er couldn't bear the loneliness and liked the huge Forbidden City: "We can live there without being crowded even if there are many people."
"Nanjing is better." At this time, Miao Xian, who remained silent, couldn't help but said: "After all, there is a coal mountain."
At this point, the topic was instantly lost.
The women's faces turned pale, and they felt cold for a moment.
Zhu Yixi had no choice but to break the atmosphere and said: "Let's stay here for a while longer. When the garden in Xishan is repaired, we will live there and feel very comfortable."
"Not only can you soak in hot springs, but you can also ride horses, climb mountains, and have barbecues. There won't be so many cumbersome etiquette."
This description made the girls' hearts flutter instantly.
The rules in the palace have always been strict, and even though the emperor and queen were tolerant, it was particularly torturous for the concubines who came from private backgrounds.
It would be great if I could regain the freedom I had when I was in the royal palace.
“This is so great!”
Sun Damiang was jumping for joy.
At night, Zhu Yixi went to Miaoxian's palace.
To the woman, he promised that he would build her an exclusive Taoist temple in the garden.
This made Miao Xian, who grew up in a Taoist temple, overjoyed. He became more and more proficient in Taoism and tried his best to please him.
During the Winter Solstice, King Li Hao of Korea sent envoys to express his gratitude and wept bitterly.
It turned out that under the command of Li Yingren, 15,000 Ming troops finally defended Pyongyang City and saved this city, one of the three capitals. In this way, half of North Korea was saved.
Due to the onset of winter, Hong Chengchou had to withdraw his troops, and the two sides went into a rest period.
As a result, the Korean Peninsula fell into a confrontation.
The Pyongyang court in the north was supported by its possession of Hamgyeong Province, Pyongan Province, half of Hwanghae Province, and Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province in the south.
As for the Seoul imperial court in the south, it was Chungcheong Province, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, and half of Hwanghae Province.
In theory, Pyongyang has the upper hand, but in fact Gyeonggi Province is the essence of North Korea, producing 30% of its food.
Moreover, it is currently relatively safe in winter. Once spring comes, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties will cross the Yalu River, and Pyongyang will be attacked from both sides, and is in danger.
In a real sense, Seoul has the upper hand.
Therefore, the Pyongyang court lacks everything, and even its righteousness is hardly even fifty-fifty with Seoul. This is completely different from when it entered the DPRK to fight against the Japanese.
In this case, it can only be discussed.
More than a dozen ministers from the Cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, the Inspectorate, and the Fifth Military Governor's Office gathered together to discuss the matter of entering the DPRK.
The first person to speak was Zhu Mou, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He said: "Currently, the number of people entering the court is 50,000 yuan, but the total monthly food and grass payment is 100,000 yuan. If we send more troops, there are not millions."
It is very difficult to protect Pyongyang."
"We can let them go to Ganghwa Island, or if not, they can go to Jeju Island."
At this time, Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of War, raised his head and said: "Pyongyang cannot be defended, but we can definitely defend these islands and save the troops from defending the city."
"No, if we evacuate from the land, then our great righteousness will have to be surrendered, and North Korea will really become the Qing Dynasty's money bag."
Gao Hongtu, the Minister of Rites, said hurriedly.
"You can't say that. If you stay in Pyongyang, you will only become a target. The consequences of a double attack will be serious. No matter how many troops we have, we can't withstand it."
Lu Daqi said in a loud voice, not caring about people when discussing matters.
"Without righteousness, North Korea cannot defend itself at all."
Gao Hongtu waved his sleeves and refused to give in.
"If you want me to see, instead of guarding, it's better to go straight to Seoul."
At this time, Zhu Meng, who represented the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, could not help but say:
"As long as we, with the cooperation of the navy, land at the seaside and go to Seoul, and win in one battle, North Korea will be completely stabilized."
"That's right!" Lu Daqi agreed.
"What a fool!" Zhu Mou couldn't help scolding the general: "Do you know how many soldiers and horses there are? We must dispatch the capital camp."
"alright!"
After such a quarrel, Zhu Yixi stopped and said: "According to the previous plan, he treated North Korea as a wound and bled the Manchus."
"The way you are doing this is complete chaos."
This time, everyone was quiet.
After a moment of silence, the chief assistant Zhao Shu stepped forward.
