Farmer Fubo is open for business

Chapter 256 The new emperor ascends the throne

Chang'an glanced at the wrinkled baby and felt helpless.

"Quick! Hug her, you see how painful she is." Mrs. Jiang took the candle bag and stuffed it into her daughter's arms.

Chang'an had no choice but to hug the little baby, and saw her little face kept coming closer to him. He couldn't help but feel a little soft, and poked her little face with his hands.

"Okay, mother and daughter have recognized each other, let Chang'an rest." Mrs. Wu brought the little baby over and asked the maid to bring warm water to Chang'an to take a sip and let her fall asleep quickly.

The little baby was placed on the crib, and Ms. Yang sat next to it and watched, smiling so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

The little stones and the little rice cakes also came around, looking at the little doll, they just felt magical.

"When will she grow up? I still have to teach my little sister to ride a bicycle." Little Nian Gao asked her mother with starry eyes.

Wu corrected her with a smile: "You can't call her sister. This is your niece. When she grows up, she will be called your uncle."

Little Nian Gao became even happier, and her eyes instantly turned kind when she looked at the little baby: "Hey, I'm uncle!"

As he spoke, he followed his uncle's example and stretched out his chubby hand to touch the baby's head.

Mrs. Wu quickly blocked his little hand: "My niece is still young, so she can't touch her head. From now on, she can just touch her little hands."

The little rice cake was puzzled: "Why can't you touch his head?" Is this how his uncle and uncle touched him?

"If you can't touch it, you can't touch it, otherwise she won't call you uncle when she grows up." Mrs. Wu threatened her son.

Children are all curious. If you say that the baby's penis is not fully grown and is soft, he will definitely want to touch the penis and try it.

Little Nian Gao was indeed frightened and hurriedly put his little hands behind his back.

How old is Xiao Shitou's elder brother? He also knows that the baby's head and face should not be touched or kissed. He said seriously: "I want to give my niece a name. Let's call her Fanfan."

Chang Ning patted him: "Don't be ridiculous, the name must be given by my sister and brother-in-law."

At this moment, Lu Jingzhou had already gone out and asked someone to invite the nanny over.

We had booked two nannies who had just given birth a while ago, and we just called them to come on duty.

Just when the Chang'an family was enjoying themselves, the crown prince of Yan in northern Xinjiang suddenly raised an army because he was siding with the Qing emperor.

Several other vassal kings also took the opportunity to respond and led their troops straight to the capital.

It turned out that the imperial court took advantage of the period of national filial piety to detain all the feudal princes in the capital without releasing them, and also ordered the princes and grandsons of the feudal clan to go to the capital together.

Some vassal kings were timid and obediently asked their wives, concubines, and descendants to move to the capital. Others couldn't swallow this, so they tried to find ways to send letters back to the vassal, asking their descendants to rebel against them.

For a time, wars broke out all over the country, and the country was in turmoil. People fled their homes one after another in order not to be caught.

The news soon spread to the northwest, and the imperial court also wanted to mobilize troops from here to quell the rebellion.

Unexpectedly, the commander Tao Yuan didn't buy it. After receiving the imperial edict, he just delayed his departure.

Anyway, the late emperor has passed away, and the current little emperor is just an ignorant little baby. All major affairs of the court are in the hands of Cai Ge Lao and other civil servants.

Moreover, they haven't received military pay for a long time. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to ask them to go to war at this time?

"Damn it! Those civil servants used to turn their nostrils against us and often deducted our food and salary. Now they think of us?"

"No! We soldiers don't even have enough to eat, how can we go to meet the enemy?"

"What kind of enemy are we facing? The Ming family fights its own family, but makes us people work hard. No matter we lose or win, we won't get any benefits. It's better not to fight!"

"right!"

The officers slapped their thighs, pondered over it, and unanimously decided to postpone it for a while.

The supervisor was very anxious. His family and children were all in the capital. If Tao Yuan disobeyed the order, he might be in trouble too.

So he quickly wrote a memorial and had it sent to the capital quickly.

When Song Sanshun learned that troops were being raised everywhere, he immediately found someone to buy a large amount of copper, iron and saltpeter, and began to make firearms and bullets.

One month later, as soon as Changan was out of confinement, he learned about many things happening outside.

She suddenly remembered the dreams she had had frequently recently, each time showing her family being escorted to Beijing.

I see.

Because Tao Yuan refused to send troops, the court labeled him and his generals as rebels.

We must not sit still and wait for death!

Chang'an made up his mind and sent someone to invite his father back and tell him about his dream.

"Dad, Commander Tao refuses to send troops. This matter will definitely anger the court. If they order us to be arrested, what will you do?"

Song Erxiao frowned and thought for a moment, then turned to ask his brother: "How many firearms have you made?"

"I will make a hundred for the time being. Chang'an also gave me a drawing of a long-handled firearm. It is easy to operate and has a long range. I am asking the craftsmen to make it quickly." Song San followed.

Song Erxiao had a smile on his lips, nodded and said: "Very good, if someone from the imperial court comes, we will simply rebel!"

In fact, the commander had long wanted to do this, because he had close contacts with King Yan's family when he was in northern Xinjiang.

Song Sanshun:

Chang'an nodded: "This is the only way."

"Do you want to tell Jingzhou? After all, he is Ansai's parent officer." Song Erxiao asked.

Chang'an thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I will tell him."

In the evening, Chang An explained his plan again: "Now that the court is unstable, and the little emperor's mother's family has a grudge against us, even if we don't rebel, there is no guarantee that we will not be liquidated by the Cai family in the future. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, we should give it a try." "He will help King Yan ascend to the throne."

Lu Jingzhou smiled and said, "You all listen to my wife."

Chang'an felt relieved when he saw that he had no objection.

Soon, Tao Yuan's troops were equipped with new long firearms and attacked the city with overwhelming force. Finally, they joined the troops of Crown Prince Yan and attacked the capital together.

The garrison of the capital surrendered without a fight and opened the gate to let Prince Yan's team in.

The Crown Prince of Yan attacked the imperial city without any effort, but did not find the young emperor or the Queen Mother Cai.

Even Cai Fuge has disappeared, and I don’t know where he went.

As a result, King Yan ascended the throne as emperor with the support of some ministers, and at the same time, he established the crown prince of King Yan.

The courtiers also surrendered, because after all, the country belonged to the Ming family. No matter who was the emperor in the Ming family, it was their housework. They only acted like stubborn donkeys when they were full.

Soon after, the new emperor began to award rewards.

Not only did he make Tao Yuan the Duke of Zhenguo, he also made Song Erxiao the commander of the northwest garrison, with a third-grade official position.

In addition, Song Sanshun was awarded a reward and made an exception to allow him to serve in the Ministry of Industry.

Song San complied with Chang'an's request and handed over the manufacturing methods of new firearms to the court.

The emperor was very happy when he saw this, and immediately rewarded him with a batch of gold, silver, jewelry and silk cloth, enough to pull two carts.

In addition, a residence was awarded in the capital for Song Sanshun and his family to live.

In March of the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chang'an and his mother and aunt went to the palace to express their gratitude.

The queen looked at Chang An and said with a smile: "I thought you had a good child earlier, but I didn't expect that you would become a mother in a blink of an eye. Time really wastes no time."

"Thank you, empress, for your love." Chang'an respectfully bowed to the empress.

The queen is in her fifties, her hair is graying, but she is energetic and her eyes are clear.

She said to Wu again: "You are Chang'an's aunt, right? I've heard that Chang'an was raised by you since he was a child. It's really rare to teach a child so well."

Mrs. Wu quickly stood up and saluted the queen: "They are all my nephews, so we should raise her as well."

The Queen especially admires a woman like Wu, who is kind-hearted and can raise her sister-in-law's children to adulthood, which is really rare.

"Quickly leave the outsiders and sit down and talk." The queen said with a smile: "I also heard that there is a girl in your family who is in her prime. I wonder if there is a marriage proposal?" (End of Chapter)
