On the 29th day of the twelfth month of the 20th year of Longwu, Princess Yang Cheng Xiao Yingying and Prince Consort Zhao Jingcheng returned to the capital together.
At the same time, Second Prince Xiao Zhenwu also returned to the capital with his wife, concubines, and family members, including a son and a daughter who had just been born.
Xiao Zhenwu's children were born more than a month ago, a son and a daughter. His wife gave birth to a son and a concubine gave birth to a daughter. It could be said that the family was harmonious. Xiao Ruxun was very happy and asked Zhenwu to bring the children to the side hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. He wanted to see his grandson and granddaughter.
Zhenwu brought his grandson and granddaughter to see him. He was very happy to hold his grandson in one hand and his granddaughter in the other. His face was full of smiles.
"Zhenwu, it's really not easy for father to wait for this day."
Xiao Ruxun laughed and teased his grandson and granddaughter. His heart was full of joy. Zhenwu also laughed and said, "If father is happy, I will be happy. I will continue to work hard."
"Continue to work hard and have children? They are all as mischievous as you. There is no elder sister like her to take care of you! "
Yingying came back from afar, and the first thing she said was her younger brother.
"Elder sister!"
Because Zhenbang was studying in the Military Academy, he did not often return to the palace. Zhenwu mainly lived with Yingying for a long time. The two siblings had a good relationship and often quarreled.
Zhao Jingcheng looked on with a smile on the side.
After a while, Zhenbang also dealt with the matters at hand and came with the Crown Princess and the children. When the brothers met, they naturally laughed and talked. Xiao Ruxun and Caiyun were surrounded by a group of children.
Sometimes, Xiao Ruxun actually felt very proud because under his careful protection, this royal family was not like other royal families which were cold-blooded and ruthless.
From the beginning, he did not intend to give others hope that they should not have. He always had a firm attitude and paid attention to maintaining Zhenbang's position. Therefore, many times when some people had some bad ideas, Xiao Ruxun would strangle this idea in the cradle and then strangle the people who had the idea to death.
He only had two sons, which was very important. He only had one Empress, which was even more important.
In addition, Zhenwu had never taught him anything about the mind of an emperor since he was young. Instead, he often took him to the testing ground of the Ministry of Military Engineering to play with guns and cultivated his hobby and interest in guns. It was really successful. After he grew up, Zhenwu developed in this direction.
Zhao Shizhen was very appreciative of Zhenwu and said that Zhenwu was very talented in firearms.
In order to keep his family and brothers in harmony, it was really not easy. Being in such a position, the temptation of power was too great. It was really not easy to maintain such a state. For Xiao Ruxun, this was also his biggest hope for the rest of his life.
In the first half of his life, he killed countless people on the battlefield and made unprecedented brilliant achievements. In the second half of his life, Xiao Ruxun did not think that he had done too much and should take a break like his emperor. He never slacked off in politics. For 20 years, he personally took care of politics and was as diligent as an old ox.
He really felt that he had done a lot of things and accomplished many things that many people did not dare to think about. He had laid a solid enough foundation for Daqin. Even if one or two disappointing descendants came out in the future, such a big family business could be supported.
In fact, the family business was not afraid of useless descendants, but it was afraid of messing around. However, Xiao Ruxun could not care so much, nor was he interested in writing an imperial model for future generations to follow. He had done everything he could. As for how far the Daqin Empire could go, he did not know.
The present happiness was everything. The present happiness was everything. To be able to accompany his old wife, have children by his side, and have a house full of grandchildren, as an emperor, Xiao Ruxun was really satisfied.
The Spring Festival in the first month of the 21st year of Longwu was more lively than usual. On the night of the Spring Festival, Xiao Ruxun invited the whole royal family to a banquet. His eldest brother's family, second brother's family, and third brother's family gathered together to have fun and enjoy the rare joy of the year.
He asked the children to show their ability and see what they had learned. Then, he gave them red packets one by one. At the dining table, Xiao Ruxun was not like an emperor at all, but more like a kind and amiable elder.
Xiao Rulan held Xiao Ruxun's hand at the dining table. She was a little tipsy and said with a smile, "In the past, when father was still alive, he often said that in the history books, as emperors, the more dignified they were, the more people dared not to approach them. Ji Xin is the opposite. Ji Xin, your temperament is much softer than before."
When Xiao Rulan said this, Xiao Ruxun also noticed it.
When he had just become an emperor, he killed people like flies. Killing until there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood was not enough to describe it. Of course, the environment at that time was not good. Daqin had just been established and there were dangers everywhere. He needed to use iron-blooded methods to eradicate the enemies and protect the new Daqin regime. But now, it was different.
Looking around, where were the enemies of Daqin?
The potential enemies were in Europe, in Russia in the northwest, and their strength was naturally far inferior to Daqin. Daqin had reached its strongest period in history, and as it digested the new territories, it would become even stronger. Grasping the track of technological development and snatching the first piece of soup, Daqin would be able to enjoy the benefits of striking first for hundreds of years.
Of course, he could use the conciliatory policy. Of course, the mausoleum system would not change. He had already begun to renovate his mausoleum, and the order to expropriate all the rich families in the world had been issued. The central officials issued the orders with murderous faces and began to carry out a series of actions.
No matter how conciliatory, there would always be some things that could not be changed, some positions that could not be changed.
The empire was like the rising sun, climbing to the peak and higher. As for the further places, sorry, they could not see.
In the midst of joy, the 20th year of Longwu had ended, and the 21st year of Longwu had arrived. Xiao Ruxun and the royal family were together in the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. They looked at the clock and counted the time. When the hands in the clock completely overlapped at the moment of 12 o 'clock, a new year had begun.
"May our Daqin prosper and never decline. Everyone, let's drink to our hearts' content!"
Xiao Ruxun stood up and raised his glass.
"Let's drink to our hearts' content!"
His relatives also raised their glasses and drank to their hearts' content together with the emperor of Daqin.
The atmosphere reached its peak. The cheers of the children and the laughter of the adults made Xiao Ruxun very satisfied.
The banquet was over, but the joy should not end. Xiao Ruxun sent his relatives away one by one and told them about the entertainment arrangements. Daqin now gave the officials five days off. During the five days, they could play to their heart's content and visit their relatives and friends.
Everything was handled properly. Xiao Ruxun and Caiyun also returned hand in hand, planning to go back to the palace to sleep. There were still many things to do tomorrow morning.
However, after a few steps, a black-clothed palace guard suddenly came to report. Li Sheng, who was next to Xiao Ruxun, immediately came forward to talk to him, and then the black-clothed palace guard quickly left.
