Chapter 286: Favor
Zhao Shu and his ministers outlined the blueprint for the construction of the Great Song Dynasty in the next five or even ten years, and the war in the north had gradually ended, and Han Shizhong began to gather the soldiers and horses around him, preparing for the Jurchen attack, and at the same time pacifying the surrounding tribes.

Wu Jie also killed the remnants and tribes of the Jurchens around Yuguan and built a large number of Wu forts.
However, although both of them are busy, they also know that the imperial court will not let the two of them lead heavy troops to stay abroad, especially the generals of the Governor's Mansion are almost all out, and they will definitely recruit the two to return to Beijing to take charge.
After the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Shu asked the ministers to go back to rest, but when leaving, after the ministers walked out of the Zichen Palace, Li Gang turned back again, and when he saw Li Gang walking in, Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing and said: "Why did Mr. Liang Xi turn back again, I don't know what's going on?"
Looking at Zhao Shu with a smile on his face, Li Gang's face was solemn, and he bowed to Zhao Shu and said: "The minister is quite old, and he has served the three emperors of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Shu looked at Li Gang's appearance, and his expression was also condensed: "Mr. Liang Xi can speak directly if he has something, and I will definitely listen carefully." ”
Zhao Shu's heart was full of doubts, I don't know what this old gentleman has to say, this Li Gang acts uprightly and dares to speak, maybe there is something important, especially the ministers who have just left are waiting outside the Zichen Palace, obviously this is not Li Gang's decision alone.
Li Gang looked at Zhao Shu and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty is now twenty-six, but there is no heir, this is caused by the turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty, it is not Your Majesty's fault, but now that the Great Song Dynasty is stable, the Quartet has been decided, and please pay attention to this matter, recently, the Ministry of Rites has wanted to choose a concubine for Your Majesty." ”
Hearing what Li Gang said about this matter, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly, his face was full of embarrassment, all these years, he was busy fighting and cultivating, and he really didn't care about this matter.
However, he also has several concubines, plus the star girls of Western Liao, there are already a lot, but in the eyes of the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it is not much, especially the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty have interfered with the selection of concubines and heirs of the emperors of previous dynasties, it is not surprising, in the era of President Ren and Shenzong, it is the problem of the prince, which has led to turmoil in the court, making these courtiers pay more and more attention to this matter, and it is not easy to argue at the moment, so they can only smile bitterly and say yes again and again.
"Your Majesty, don't blame the old minister, the royal heir is the foundation of the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Bei had no heirs, and had to succeed the son of the Kou family as Liu Feng, to stabilize the heart of deployment, until Adou was born, the problem of the heir was completely solved, but because of the matter of succeeding Liu Feng, it laid a hidden danger for the stability of Bashu later. This dynasty is also because of Renzong, which led to the turmoil of the imperial court for several years. The old man is already in his old age, if His Majesty ignores this matter, the old minister will personally meet the queen and preside over the selection of concubines for His Majesty. ”
When Zhao Shu heard this, he bowed down again to comprehend it, and when Li Gang left, Zhao Shu found that the many ministers who were waiting also breathed a sigh of relief.
Being taught a lesson by Li Gang, Zhao Shu smiled bitterly, and also remembered the agreement with Concubine Xi, and he happened to go tonight.
At this time, Princess Lotus was sitting in the Xia Lotus Palace, with her chin in her hands, looking at the candles lit around her in a daze, she had been practicing since she had been practicing, and she never thought that one day she would be committed to a man, and tonight she might have to change from a woman to a woman, which made her heart a little uneasy.
"Princess, Your Majesty is here, Princess, Your Majesty has arrived at the gate of the palace. ”
A maid ran to shout with joy, trotting all the way, shouting all the way, the maids and guards of the entire Xia He Hall were suddenly overjoyed, many of these people are from Western Xia, with the Lotus Princess, seeing their own princess come here for a few months, the Song Emperor was not summoned, and the heart is anxious, once a concubine loses the emperor's favor, it will be doomed, especially the Lotus Princess is from the Western Xia, it is easier to become a victim.
Now that Emperor Song has arrived in person, they can't be allowed to be unhappy, but at this time, Princess Lotus is becoming more and more entangled, and her face is unconsciously covered with a layer of redness, she got up and walked to the door of the room, and saw Zhao Shu in civilian clothes walking towards here, and her heart was like a deer crashing, banging non-stop.
"The concubine pays a visit to Your Majesty. ”
Princess Lotus bowed slowly, Zhao Shu reached out to hold the princess's hand, and when she held it, the hand of the concubine suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning.
Zhao Shu was slightly stunned, and then showed a smile and said: "The Xixia specialty prepared by Concubine Xi, I don't know if it's good? When Zhao Shu was laughing, Princess Lotus with a flush on her face beckoned the maids around her to prepare some of the specialties of Western Xia.
"The princess is from Western Xia, let's talk to me about Western Xia!" Zhao Shu laughed.
With Zhao Shu's words, the Xixia princess gradually relaxed, and when Zhao Shu and the Xixia princess spoke, the queen and the two sisters of the hidden family in the depths of the palace looked at the Xia Lotus Hall in the distance, and they all smiled bitterly.
"Sister, you and I, as a Miao descendant of the Han family, have not given birth to an heir so far, if this Western Xia woman takes the lead, it will be a shame for us. Yin Feng'er smiled bitterly at the sky fox.
"These days, my mother and some relatives and friends have been vaguely urging us, and those courtiers still want to choose concubines for Your Majesty. If there is no more Lin'er born, we are afraid that we will be scolded to death by these courtiers. ”
After hearing these words, Lin Qin'er smiled and said, "No matter what, these days, the sisters will be able to pester Your Majesty." ”
"It's better for my sister to work harder!" Yin Qingluan laughed, and the three of them laughed together for a while.
The concubines of the palace had no sleep all night, but the entire family in the south of the Yangtze River was migrating towards the sixteen states of Yanyun, and this remote place in their eyes slowly became their new homeland.
When the southern army was stationed, it also began to repair the Great Wall and establish border towns, and even the land in Guanzhong was also repairing roads and building warehouses to prepare for the development of commerce and agriculture.
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty felt like a huge construction site, every place was busy, and a vigorous atmosphere of prosperity was permeating the Great Song Dynasty, but the Jurchens and Western Xia people were also holding back their strength to enhance their strength.
The Jurchens began to digest all the things left behind by the Liao, and the Tanguts continued to attack the Uighurs, digesting their population and wealth into their own national strength, and the competition between the three kingdoms slowly turned from a military competition into a kind of national strength.
It's just that at this time, the Jurchens were still facing the barbarians who were constantly moving south in the Mobei grassland, and after the Western Xia invaded the territory of the Huangtou Uighurs, they had to face the invasion of the Western Liao, Qiuzi, and the Uighurs and Turks.
