The ancients attached great importance to asking the gods for divination, but almost all major matters had to ask the gods for their opinions, so Qin Tianjian came into being.

Kou Ji didn't believe in the things of gods and ghosts, Chen Lin used to believe it, but now he is half-convinced.

The reason for the change is due to Zhao Zhen.

Because Zhao Zhen, under the influence of Kou Ji, doesn't believe in those gods and ghosts.

As Zhao Zhen's loyal servant, Chen Lin naturally wanted to follow Zhao Zhen.

For Chen Lin, the royal heirship is above all else, so even though he already sensed that Kou Ji was talking nonsense, he still pondered about it.

Kou Ji saw Chen Lin bow his head and ponder about this matter, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He said casually, Chen Lin actually really thought about it.

Chen Lin thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Our family will go back and send someone to investigate, if the people of Qin Tianjian really do something to offend the heavens, and the heirs of the official family will be difficult to prosper, our family will definitely not let them go." ”

"Who won't be spared?"

Chen Lin's voice was a little heavier, so he woke up Zhao Zhen, who was in a daze.

After Zhao Zhen woke up, he only heard the end of Chen Lin's words, so he asked casually.

Chen Lin bowed down and truthfully repeated what Kou Ji had just said.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said: "If the queen can't give birth to a dragon son this time, then I should really send someone to check the Qin Heavenly Prison." ”

"It's time to check ......"

Kou Ji agreed.

He had no intention of exculpating Qin Tianjian at all.

In Kou Ji's eyes, the existence of Qin Tianjian was harmful to the Great Song Dynasty.

Qin Tianjian, just engage in astronomical research.

It is a very foolish act to use some astronomical phenomena to influence state affairs.

It is also a very foolish act to leave the decision on major affairs of the country and the dynasty to astronomical phenomena.

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he fell into a state of distraction again.

Kou Ji coughed dryly, waking Zhao Zhen up again.

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, "Fourth brother, something?" ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "The official family doesn't have to worry, the minister believes that the official family will definitely have children and grandchildren." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "I don't have a son yet......

Kou Ji smiled bitterly.

Zhao Zhen was really stunned by his son's affairs.

Just when Kou Ji was about to admonish Zhao Zhen a few more words, a palace lady hurriedly entered the palace of Yanfu Palace.

"Official, the queen is about to give birth!"

Gong E entered the palace, and after giving the salute, she hurriedly said.

Zhao Zhen stood up abruptly and said anxiously: "Going to give birth again?" ”

Why use one and more?

Because it's not the first time that Queen Cao has had signs of giving birth.

Counting this time, it has been four times.

"This time it's true."

Gong E hurriedly added.

Zhao Zhen rushed out in a flash, and the chessboard was knocked over by him, but he didn't care.

Chen Lin chased Zhao Zhen and ran out.

Kou Ji got up and followed.

rushed all the way to the place where Empress Cao gave birth, and saw a large group of eunuchs gathered outside the palace.

After Zhao Zhen arrived, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhao Zhen ignored them, ran all the way to the front of the palace, and just after landing, Empress Cao's screams rang out.

"It's really raw!"

Zhao Zhen trembled, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, quickly find the mother and the imperial doctor who delivered the baby." ”

"Back at the official's house, the midwife's mother has already entered, and the imperial doctor is waiting in the side hall next to it."

The female official in Empress Cao's palace whispered.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said self-deprecatingly: "I'm a little too nervous......"

Kou Ji stood behind Zhao Zhen, heard Zhao Zhen's words, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhao Zhen was indeed a little nervous.

Empress Cao was about to give birth three times, and everyone's nerves in the palace were tightened.

Almost all of the midwives and imperial doctors lived next to Empress Cao's bedroom, guarding Empress Cao for twelve hours.

Now that Queen Cao is really about to give birth, how dare they slack off.

Unless their heads don't want it anymore.

After Zhao Zhen laughed at himself, he listened to Queen Cao's screams in the palace, and kept pacing in place nervously.

Not long after Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji arrived.

Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Du hurried to the front of Empress Cao's bedroom.

Zhao Zhen saw Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Du and hurriedly greeted them.

After a hasty salute, Zhao Zhen said anxiously to Empress Dowager Li: "Niangniang, you go in and take a look on my behalf......"

Concubine Li knew that Zhao Zhen's heart was full of worries, so she happily agreed.

Then he took two female officials and entered the dormitory.

The screams lasted for two pillars of incense.

After two pillars of incense.

A loud cry rang out in the dormitory.

Outside the dormitory, everyone was shocked and looked eagerly at the door of the dormitory.

"Squeak......

In the eager eyes of everyone, the door of the dormitory was slowly opened, and Concubine Li walked out of it, and the joy on her face was difficult to hide.

When Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji saw this, their hearts beat quickly.

Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "The official family is a son. ”

The stiff expression on Zhao Zhen's face dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha...... I have a son! I have a son! ”

Zhao Zhen excitedly grabbed Kou Ji's shoulders and shouted, "Fourth brother! I have a son! ”

Kou Ji also had a smile on his face, and he was also happy for Zhao Zhen, "Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family!" ”

"Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family......"

As Kou Ji spoke, the other eunuchs and Gong E also congratulated happily.

Zhao Zhen let go of Kou Ji's shoulders and rushed into Empress Cao's bedroom with a laugh.

Kou Ji did not rush in, but walked in front of the Empress Dowager Li, and said with a smile: "The eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace of the ministers, ask the Empress Dowager for a reward!" ”

Zhao Zhen was in a hurry to see his son, and he didn't bother with other things at all.

Naturally, Kou Ji had to help him take care of things he couldn't take care of.

When Empress Dowager Li heard Kou Ji's words, she was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the official family can't take care of this matter now." The rewards of the upper and lower levels of the palace are decided by the mourning family. Everything outside the palace will be left to Kou Aiqing. ”

Kou Ji bowed down and agreed.

Empress Dowager Li smiled and said to all the palace ladies and eunuchs: "The official family is happy to have a dragon, and the whole world should celebrate together." It stands to reason that the official should be in charge of rewarding you. But now that the official family can't take care of this matter, the mourning family will do it again.

Passing on the will of the mourning family to the inner government, the monthly case of the palace this month was doubled, plus 10,000 yuan, a palace flower, three feet of cloth, a pot of imperial wine, and three catties of mutton.

The eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace of the queen Cao gave an additional 100,000 yuan. ”

When the eunuchs and palace ladies heard this, they happily thanked the Empress Dowager Li one by one.

After they thanked them, Empress Dowager Li smiled and said: "The mourning family will then take out some self-care money and add another 10,000 yuan to each of you, which can be regarded as the mourning family's reward for you." ”

When the eunuchs and palace ladies heard this, they were even more happy and thanked the Empress Dowager Li again.

After Empress Dowager Li rewarded the palace ladies and eunuchs, Kou Ji instructed Chen Lin's deputy, the Inner Servant: "Send someone to ring the bell and summon hundreds of officials into the palace." Send someone to Cao's mansion again and invite Cao's husband and wife to enter the palace. ”

The Inner Servant Province agreed and immediately instructed the eunuchs around him to do as Kou Ji instructed.

Empress Cao is Zhao Zhen's main room, and the son she gave birth to is the eldest son.

In this era of concubines, the identity of the eldest son contains many things.

One of them is the right of first refusal.

The eldest son can have priority to inherit the title, family business, etc.

The identity of the eldest son of the royal family contains more things.

The eldest son of the royal family was born, and the Manchu Dynasty naturally had to enter the palace.

After the governor of the province of the Inner Servant sent someone to ring the bell, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that a prince was born.

There are rules for ringing bells, and different bells represent different meanings.

When the prince is born, there is also a corresponding number of bells.

Lu Yijian and the others were the first to enter the palace, because their mansion was the closest to the palace, and they were also the ones who were most concerned about the issue of Zhao Zhen's heirs.

So after hearing the bell, he couldn't wait to urge the groom in the house to drive quickly to the palace.

After they entered the palace, they were received by the provincial governor.

Kou Ji was summoned by Zhao Zhen into Empress Cao's bedroom.

Inside the dormitory.

Empress Cao was lying on the bed, her face was a little pale, but her eyes were very bright.

She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has a tough body.

When she gave birth, she did toss and died, but after giving birth, she was not as weak as Zhang after giving birth.

Zhao Zhen sat next to Empress Cao, carefully holding a baby in her hand.

Seeing that Kou Ji entered the dormitory, he ostentatiously opened the swaddling clothes.

Kou Ji was very helpless about Zhao Zhen's childish behavior, but he still smiled against his will and said: "The minister saw it, congratulations to the official family......"

"Son!"

Zhao Zhen held the baby and handed it to Kou Ji, and after Kou Ji looked at it carefully, he shouted ostentatiously.

Koji stood aside, smiling and not speaking.

Zhao Zhen reluctantly put the baby beside Queen Cao, turned around to look at Kou Ji, and shouted affectionately, "In-laws......

The smile on Kou Ji's face froze, and without saying a word, he turned around and ran.

"In-laws?!"

Zhao Zhen stood up and called out with a stunned face.

Seeing that Kou Ji was walking faster and faster, he hurriedly shouted again.

"Fourth brother, don't go."

Kou Ji walked like a fly, and decisively ran out of Empress Cao's bedroom.

Zhao Zhen was stunned as Kou Ji's figure disappeared into Empress Cao's bedroom, and then turned back with a blank face and asked Empress Cao, "What did I say inappropriately?" ”

Empress Cao barely squeezed out a smile on her face and shook her head slightly.

Zhao Zhen said suspiciously: "What is the fourth brother running?" ”

Empress Cao thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Probably reluctant to give my daughter to our emperor." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned, "I called him a family member, are you coveting his daughter?" ”

Empress Cao was also stunned, "Isn't that what the official family meant?" ”

Zhao Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "I just think that he has children, I also have children, and my daughter is married to his son, so it is more cordial to call him a family member."

But what does it mean that he turns around and runs? ”

Empress Cao said faintly: "He thought that the official family was going to ask his daughter to enter the palace and make our emperor the imperial concubine, so he ran ......away."

Zhao Zhen's face turned black in an instant.

"Does he think that my emperor is not worthy of his daughter?!"

Empress Cao chuckled and said: "The official's words are bad, in the world, how can there be a woman who our emperor is not worthy." should be a woman in the world, not worthy of our emperor. ”

Zhao Zhen's face softened a little, and he snorted: "It should be so!" ”

Empress Cao continued: "The concubine heard that Kou Shumi loved her daughter very much. Perhaps it is because of this that he is reluctant to send his daughter to the palace. ”

Zhao Zhen was unhappy again, "Is my palace a tiger and wolf's den?" Is it that scary? ”

Empress Cao smiled and did not speak.

Zhao Zhen said with a dark face: "It may have been a little unbearable before, but after I and you renovate together, my palace is the best place in the world." ”

Empress Cao pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe Kou Shumi doesn't think so......"

Zhao Zhen snorted and said, "He doesn't want his daughter to be my daughter-in-law, so I want his daughter to be my daughter-in-law." ”

A shallow smile appeared at the corner of Empress Cao's mouth, and she didn't say anything more.

Zhao Zhen sat next to Empress Cao and thought about how to bring Kou Ji's daughter into the palace to be his daughter-in-law.

Just when Zhao Zhen was secretly thinking about it, the people from Zongzheng Temple arrived.

After the people of Zongzheng Temple made a detailed record of the newly born prince, they withdrew from the palace of Empress Cao.

Subsequently, Lu Yijian and the three arrived.

The three of them entered the dormitory, and after saluting Zhao Zhen and Queen Cao, they looked at the little baby lying on the side of the bed.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen opened the baby's swaddling clothes and let them see enough.

After Lu Yijian and the others saw what they wanted to see, they laughed and left Empress Cao's bedroom.

Before leaving, Wang Zeng said to Zhao Zhen with a smile: "From now on, I will be worry-free......

Zhao Zhen thought so.

Soon after Lu Yijian and the three of them, Cao Xi and his wife entered Empress Cao's bedroom and watched their grandson.

After Cao Xi and his wife left, no one entered Empress Cao's bedroom.

Those civil and military ministers in the court are not qualified.

They could only learn the details of the prince through the mouths of Lu Yijian and the others.

Lu Yijian and the three of them left the palace of Empress Cao, and took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the vertical arch hall.

In addition to Kou Ji, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in the Vertical Arch Hall.

waited until after nightfall before Zhao Zhen appeared in the vertical arch hall.

After Zhao Zhen gave the salute to the officials, he glanced left and right and asked, "What about Kou Ji?" ”

Manchu civil and military, you look at me, I look at you, there are no words.

In the end, it was the governor of the province who whispered.

"Kou Shumi said that he was sick and wanted to go back to his house for three or five days......"

Zhao Zhen pouted.

Koji was clearly avoiding him.

However, the more Kou Ji is like this, the more Zhao Zhen wants to ask Kou Ji's daughter to enter the palace to be his daughter-in-law.

In Zhao Zhen's opinion, he treated Kou Ji's son Kou Tianci as his own son, and married his daughter to Kou Tianci.

Kou Ji should treat his son as his own son, and he should marry his daughter to his son.

Zhao Zhen didn't have the intention of publicizing this matter to the officials, so he didn't mention Kou Ji again.

He instructed Lu Yijian and the three of them to announce the news of the birth of the prince to the world.

At the same time, the Cao couple and Cao Tong were sealed.

At the time of the amnesty of the world, I asked the secretary of the criminal department, and after learning that the prisoner of this year had been assigned to the border, he decisively issued an amnesty to the world.

In the end, he symbolically said that Jin Wu couldn't help but celebrate, and the whole country celebrated.

The reason why it is symbolically said is because no one cares about the curfew in Bianjing City now.

……

Khao Fu.

When Kou Ji returned to the house, he went straight to the backyard.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw Xiang Yan walking with her daughter in her arms.

Xiang Yan saw Kou Ji and was slightly stunned, "The prince was born, shouldn't you stay in the palace and listen to the order?" How did you get home? ”

Kou Ji didn't answer Xiang Yan's question, but said to Xiang Yan very seriously: "I'm going to send my daughter to practice martial arts." ”

Xiang Yan stared at Kou Ji with a stunned expression, "Let your daughter go to practice martial arts?" ”

Kou Ji nodded solemnly.

Xiang Yan frowned and said, "Why?" ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Whoever wants to marry my daughter in the future must beat my daughter first." ”

Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, raised her eyebrows, looked at Kou Ji and said with a surprised face: "The official family wants our daughter to be the princess?" ”

"Phew......"

Kou Ji took a sip and said viciously: "The beauty he thinks!" ”

Seeing this, Xiang Yan couldn't laugh or cry, "It's really ......"

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "It is absolutely impossible for my daughter to be a princess. ”

Xiang Yan hesitated: "Why do you refuse to ask for something that others can't ask for?" ”

After a pause, Xiang Yan said again: "The prince born to Empress Cao, that is the eldest prince, what does this mean, you should know it." ”

Kou Ji said disdainfully: "He is not the prince yet!" What if he was the crown prince? My daughter will not enter the royal door. ”

What the eldest prince born by Empress Cao means, Kou Ji naturally knows.

The chance that the eldest prince born to Empress Cao is made the crown prince is as high as ninety percent.

The innate advantage of the eldest son determined that he was in a favorable position when he won the heir.

Once Zhao Zhen has the heart to establish the prince, the officials will definitely ask Zhao Zhen to appoint the eldest prince as the prince in accordance with the rules between the concubines.

In addition, his maternal family is the Cao family, and with the support of the Cao family, it is almost ironclad that he is made the crown prince.

Unless he is congenitally deficient, or dies the day after tomorrow.

Kou Ji, the eldest prince born to Empress Cao, has seen it, and there are no congenital deficiencies or diseases.

Therefore, unless he dies in the day after tomorrow, he will be the crown prince.

But the crown prince does not mean that he is a member of the Great Song Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there are four people who have been canonized as princes.

But there are only two people who sit on the throne as the crown prince.

Kou Jicai didn't care if Empress Cao's remaining princes would become the crown prince.

Even if he becomes a prince, his daughter will not marry.

"Xianggong is unwilling to let his daughter enter the palace, so he won't enter."

Xiang Yan saw Kou Ji's resolute attitude, so she said with a smile.

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you just say that others can't ask for it......

Without waiting for Kou Ji to finish speaking, Xiang Yan smiled and said, "Yes, the concubine is talking about someone else, not our family." ”

Kou Ji laughed.

Xiang Yan continued to laugh and said: "It's just a matter of letting my daughter practice martial arts, and the concubine still hopes that the princess can think twice." ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "I was also scared by the official family, so I said it casually." She is still a little old now, and she can't speak, how to practice martial arts. ”

"It's good if you know......"

Kou Ji accompanied Xiang Yan for a while, and after relieving his mood, he stopped thinking about it.

A few days after that.

Kou Ji did not enter the palace either, so he stayed in the house to accompany his family.

……

Bianjing City will not stand still because Kou Ji stays at home, and the Great Song Dynasty is no different.

Kou Ji stayed at home for a few days.

The news of the birth of the eldest prince has spread all over the world.

The Great Song Dynasty was celebrating.

The officials were happy that the court had an heir.

The people were happy that Zhao Zhen had a son, and Zhao Zhen arrived.

In short, everyone in the Great Song Dynasty was happy because of the birth of the eldest prince.

Auspicious gifts have been presented from all over the country.

The vassals also offered generous gifts.

Just when the whole Song Dynasty was happy.

Dali fell into endless sorrow.

After the Great Song Dynasty won the Jianchang Mansion, everyone in Dali thought that the war between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali was over.

But less than two months after the Great Song Dynasty got the Jianchang Mansion, the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty reappeared in Dali.

In just three days, half of Dongchuan Mansion was broken.

Dali was shocked.

There is no doubt that this time it was Dali who offended the Great Song Dynasty.

The lord of Dongchuan Mansion, after the Great Song Dynasty took Jianchang Mansion, bewitched the people of those small tribes in Jianchang Mansion, quietly escaped from Jianchang Mansion and returned to Dali.

After this matter was discovered by Chong Shiheng, Chong Shiheng sent Zhu Neng to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses south to attack Dongchuan Mansion.

After half of Dongchuan Prefecture was taken.

The two sides of the Great Song Dynasty and Dali once again entered a new round of peace talks.

The Great Song Dynasty used almost the same way as before to take Dongchuan Mansion into the bag.

The war between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali came to an end again.

But after the end of the war.

Duan Suzhen, the king of Dali County, sent Gao Zhisheng, led 100,000 soldiers and horses, sat in Huichuan Mansion, and stared at Chong Shiheng in Jianchang Mansion.

After Chong Shiheng informed the imperial court of this matter.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen discussed it, sent Di Qing, led 50,000 forbidden troops, and quietly went south.

Just when the Great Song Dynasty was planning a thorough offensive against Dali.

The battle of Cochin also changed.

With the Jiaozhi Army, the Annam Army, and the Divine Grace Army established by the Great Cannibals, the conflict between the three parties continued to intensify.

Cochin was completely messed up into a pot of porridge.

After the Great Cannibal established the Divine Grace Army with the help of the Great Song Dynasty armament, he immediately parted ways with the Annan Army.

They broke away from the battlefield of the Annan Army and the Jiaozhi Army and invaded all the way south.

With the help of Mamuliuke, they were almost hopeless and disadvantaged, and captured nearly seven cities in Jiaozhi.

Seeing this, the king of Jiaozhi had to send heavy troops to deal with the big cannibals.

Heavy troops were dispatched to deal with the Great Cannibals, and there were many fewer soldiers and horses to resist the Annan army.

The Annan army took this opportunity to advance all the way west and captured the land of the five cities of Jiaozhi.

The reason why the offensive of the Annam Army was so swift was also due to the cochin and the Great Cannibal.

The appearance of the big cannibal stimulated those witches in the mountains and forests.

In order to deal with the big cannibals, Wu constantly sent those barbarians in the mountains and forests to join the Annan army.

The number of soldiers and horses in the Annam army skyrocketed.

The Annan army was accustomed to asking the court of the Great Song Dynasty for armaments, so after the number of soldiers and horses increased, they decisively sent people to the court to ask for armaments.

With Kou Ji's black heart, it is naturally impossible to give them military equipment.

They have to pay a certain amount of money.

Then, the Annan army handed over the money and property they had seized in Jiaozhi to Kou Ji.

After Kou Ji got the money, he was very generous and sent the military equipment to them.
