Chapter 222: Bravery is not just one thing
Zong Jun guessed it was his daughter.
Because Zheng Ling, who came back from Qi, once told him that Wei Zipei dreamed of a little girl holding his , her body was heavy during pregnancy and she liked to eat light food.
Li Wenzhou guessed it was his son.
The reason is that looking at Jiang Ben's fiery temperament, he thought he would have a have a son who happens to be the young master’s companion.
Jiang He said with a wide-eyed smile: "They are all right, and they are all rewarded."
Cai Ling rubbed her hands together happily and jumped up: "It turns out they are twins!"
"They are still twins, a son and a daughter!"
"Queen Qi is so lucky."
Everyone congratulated them continuously, and Jiang He turned around and entered the palace, holding a handful of gold leaves as rewards for them.
The reward was so rich that everyone started to grab it.
Young Master Zhao Qian didn't know what was happening, so he moved his short legs to squeeze in and sharp eyesight and quick hands, he picked up a fallen gold leaf from the ground and refused to hand it over without saying anything.
"Give it to mother, you don't know how to spend it now."
Jiang He squatted in front of him and teased him.
Zhao Qian clenched his hands, tightened his thin lips, and shook his head.
"Then who are you willing to give it to? Or to your newborn little brother?"
"No." Zhao Qian answered decisively.
"Can I give it to my little sister? She's very soft and pretty." Jiang He said with a smile.
Zhao Qian then stretched out his hand and moved it forward with some reluctance, then took it back and said, "I'll give it."
You have to give it yourself.
Everyone laughed even more happily.
"It's better to order a doll and kiss it."
"That's how we kiss each other."
Zhao Qian doesn't understand what a baby kiss is.
But he remembered that he had a little sister.
When eating with his father, queen and queen in the evening, Zhao Qian suddenly stared at the custard in the bowl and said, "Give it to my sister."
As he spoke, he pushed the custard aside and stopped eating.
Zhao Zheng raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Jiang He's abdomen again, showing a searching look.
"I'm talking about the sister of Jiang Ben's family." Jiang He pursed his lips and said, "At such a young age, she already knows how to coax people with delicious food."
"Yeah." Zhao Zhengdao, "Like his mother."
Jiang He glanced at Zhao Zheng with warm eyes and squeezed his leg.
"What's wrong with his mother?" she asked.
"Damn it..." Zhao Zheng endured the pain, passed a hand over, and rubbed Jiang He's wrist, "unparalleled in the world, stunningly beautiful, and the cooking is delicious. Anyone who has eaten her food will be able to bear it. I can’t help but want to eat it forever.”
Jiang He then let go of his hand, patted Zhao Zheng's thigh with his fingers, nodded and said, "That's right."
Zhao Zheng's body suddenly became stiff.
Sometimes there is no thought in the mind, but the body is already aware of the desire.
He picked up the vegetables without moving his eyebrows and said calmly: "Cai Ling, let the young master go to bed early tonight."
Cai Ling, who was standing not far away, responded immediately.
"I don't want to sleep in the side hall." Zhao Qian said immediately, "I want to sleep with my mother."
He often sleeps with his mother these days.
How nice it would be to sleep with his mother. She would tell stories, kiss his forehead, and he could even put his feet on her waist.
"Either sleep in the side hall," Zhao Zhengdao said, "or my father will build a palace for you and you live outside the palace."
Zhao Qian didn't understand what it meant to open a palace and establish a government office, but he knew that it must be far away from the palace.
He looked at his mother for help.
"Aqian, be good," Jiang He said, "When mother finds an opportunity to drive your father out, and we are the only two left, you can come back and sleep."
Zhao Qian reluctantly agreed.
"Driving Gu away?"
If you say something unreasonable, you have to pay the price.
Every little episode in life can be used as fuel for flirting.
They have always been in harmony.
She is playful and cunning when he is gentle, and tender as water when he is rough.
Solemn and charming, both good and evil.
Things between husband and wife are natural.
After a long time, Jiang He nestled in Zhao Zheng's arms and closed his eyes contentedly, thinking that he should talk about something.
"Were there many courtiers in the previous dynasty who felt that I was interfering in politics?"
Her voice was a little lazy, but she said what mattered most to kings throughout the ages.
Zhao Zheng pinched Jiang He's chin, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"They dare to say that I will give the queen a seat in the Jianyi Hall."
Then it's not called doing politics, it's called He smiled and said: "I don't care about it! When the Qi Kingdom surrenders, I will call all the delicious cooks from all over the country to the capital to have a taste of the various flavors of the world, and by the way, I will raise A Qian to be fat."
Those ministers are worrying too much.
She is actually not a worrier.
It was a last resort before, but now that she doesn't have to fight, she can do what she really likes.
Being able to not worry is a blessing.
"I will select a few more concubines for your majesty, and schedule a full schedule for your majesty every night. They will sleep with this one today and that one tomorrow. I will rate them. If they do not serve well, I will teach them myself. I have learned a lot. of."
Zhao Zheng couldn't listen to this anymore.
"Let me experience it again and give you a score."
The hall was beautiful, even though it was the middle of winter, it seemed like thousands of flowers were blooming.
The snow melted very early this winter, and during the Lantern Festival in the first lunar month, the surroundings were already full of spring.
In the palace of the King of Qi, King Jiang Ben did not relax his duties because he was about to submit to the Yong Kingdom.
He wants to get everything in order.
From the court officials to the common people in counties and counties, everyone must be taken care of.
Only in this way can there be no chaos and no delay in farming time after returning to the Yong Kingdom.
Of course there are officials in the DPRK who are unwilling to surrender.
According to common practice, officials from Qi State cannot serve as officials in Yong State in the future.
From a well-dressed courtier to a commoner, he must be unwilling to accept it.
Originally, everyone thought Jiang Ben had a bold and rough temperament, but when he ascended the throne as king, the people of Qi saw his methods.
He pays equal attention to kindness and power, combines hardness and softness, and speaks decisively and clearly, vaguely having the demeanor of Duke Huan in his prime.
This obvious monarch's power suppressed some people who did not dare to resist, and some who really did not want to submit. As long as they did not cause trouble, Jiang Ben turned a blind eye and allowed them to take their families and treasures and sail out to sea in ships.
Just like that, the agreed date of surrender came.
The Yong army was led by Wang Jian and his son and was stationed on the border of Qi.
No special ceremony was held.
Jiang Ben took Qi's jade seal and military talismans out of the city and delivered them to Wang Jian, who then surrendered.
The main force of Qi State has already handed over its weapons and returned to its hometown to work in agriculture.
Jiang Ben placed the old King Qi and his wife in a palace. Even after he ascended the throne, he always lived in the Young Master's in the palace was cleaned, the maids were dismissed, the city gates were opened, and they waited for Yong's army to enter the city.
Yong's army has strict military discipline. As agreed, not a single plant or tree will be touched, and not a single soldier will be injured.
In addition, the king of Qi also promised to leave Qi and live elsewhere with the queen.
Jiang He communicated with them in advance that they wanted to go to Luoyang.
Luoyang is where Wei Zipei grew up, but there are no prince or princess mansions there Ben asked Jiang He for her small yard in Luoyang, saying that he would help her guard the house.
Luoyang is not far from Xianyang, and Jiang He can often see them.
Jiang Ben declined Jiang He's "Wanhuhou" proposal, saying that if his sister needs to use him in the future, she can just ask.
He and Wei Zipei have enough wealth to live without worries, so they don't need to take advantage of others.
This is Jiang Ben's consideration for Jiang He.
He was afraid that his sister would favor him and be criticized.
So it's settled.
There was a spring rain on the day of Quishun, knocking down many of the first blooming peach blossoms.
When Jiang Ben came back from outside the city, he had already taken off his crown and tied his hair with only a piece of jasper.
He rode into the Young Master's Mansion, and Wei Zipei was already didn't have much luggage, and only a dozen servants were left behind.
Jiang Bi took a child from Wei Zipei's arms, they climbed into the carriage and drove out.
The city gate was open, and the streets and surroundings were not as lively as usual. There were only sporadic Yong troops walking on the streets.
Is it because you are afraid and are hiding at home? Jiang Ben looked at the city gate in front of him.
He once left this city gate and went to the state of Yong as a hostage.
At that time, Jiang Ben just wanted to come back alive. Only later did he realize that living is actually easy, but staying alive is difficult.
As the carriage passed through the city gate, I realized that although there were no people inside Linzi City, there were people standing outside the city.
Wearing various clothes, they stood quietly in the spring rain, waiting for Jiang Ben without saying a word.
Seeing Jiang Ben and no one giving orders, the people all knelt down.
The spring rain flows on the dirt road, moistening their foreheads.
"Grassmen, wait..." the common people said in loud voices, "kowtow to Your Majesty."
"Grassmen, wait..." the common people said in unison, "Send off for Your Majesty."
He is still their king today.
It was the king who shamefully gave the jade seal, surrendered and left for their lives.
The Yong army stood quietly on the city wall, watching this scene.
"Father," Wang Ji said, "I always thought that King Qi was a very brave man, whether in Xianyang or Daliang. But when I see him today, I feel that maybe I am wrong."
"You read that right." Wang Jian's eyes were a little red, "Bravery in this world doesn't have just one look."
