Chapter Twenty-Six: The Joy of Getting Tiles

The hills are undulating, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, Liu Che galloped on his horse, so comfortable, only to hear a snap, a huge gray Haidongqing was shot down by Liu Che with an arrow.

"Your Majesty is a good archery!" Han Yan, who followed closely, praised loudly.

"Hahaha! You're not weak, that golden eagle shot well just now! Liu Che laughed loudly and turned over and dismounted, and someone from the palace had already stepped forward to pick up Hai Dongqing who shot down and retreated.

Han Yan dismounted from the saddle and said with a smile: "Your Majesty praises you!" ”

Liu Che casually pulled a grass core and put it to his mouth, sat cross-legged on the spot, pointed to the lush forests under the mountain, and said to Han Yan: "You see that the mountains and forests here are stacked, the eight rivers flow, and Qin unified the six countries, but there are two palaces of Afang and Yichun. I plan to build a palace here, lead eight waters around the palace, open ponds and marshes, raise hundreds of beasts, and train thousands of riders, what do you think? ”

Han Yan sat down with Liu Che, and couldn't help but praise when she heard the words: "Your Majesty's grand plan!" Han Yan has the honor to follow His Majesty and witness the majestic image of my great man! ”

Liu Che smiled and asked, "How is the progress of recruiting the good family sons of Longxi and Tianshui?" ”

"Without the intervention of the Empress Dowager, the matter is going well. At present, the minister has recruited nearly 1,000 sons of good families, and with time and hard training, it will become a climate! Han Yan replied respectfully.

"Good!" Liu Che threw away the grass core and said, "Since the founding of Gaozu, the capital has been guarded by the northern and southern armies, and there are tens of thousands of northern troops guarding the three auxiliary places of Gyeonggi. As for the southern army guarding the imperial city, the Weiyang Palace Lang Guard and the Bing Wei together are only a few thousand, if there is a change in the palace, I must rely on the power of the new army to control, so the matter of building a new army is very important, and it is important to be cautious! ”

"No!" Han Yan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty rest assured! ”

"Good!" Liu Che patted Han Yan on the shoulder and looked into the distance. As the Empress Dowager Dou became more and more old, the undercurrents of various forces were surging, and he had to prepare early.

"Your Majesty, the new army has been recruited, but it does not have a military name, please give it a name to Your Majesty!" Han Yan said.

Liu Che bowed slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since I edict the palace gates of Longxi and Beidi Liangjiazi, then the new army will be called the period gate army!" ”

"Period Zhudian Gate, Period Gate Army!" Han Yan groaned carefully and said, "Thank Your Majesty for the name, my Great Han Dynasty Gate Army was built today, and it will be the best in our army in the future!" ”

Liu Che sighed slightly when he heard this, and said: "In the past, there was Zhou Yafu's fine willow battalion, and the military discipline was strict and did not obey orders!" But looking at our dynasty, they are all Xuchang and the like, and the Dou clan is really hateful to turn their hands into clouds and rain in the court! ”

"Your Majesty!" Han Yan arched his hand and said, "Although Han Yan is not talented, I am willing to drive forward for Your Majesty!" ”

"Qing's heart, I know it very well!" Liu Che held his hand and sighed: "It's a pity that there are too few people like Qing around me!" ”

"What does Your Majesty think of Wei Qing?" Han Yan said, "I heard that Wei Qing was kidnapped by Wanlu of Jiaofang Hall in the palace, and afterwards, His Majesty not only appointed Wei Qing as a servant, but also rewarded him with as much as a thousand gold several times. ”

"You're well-informed!" Liu Che smiled and nodded, "I did promote Wei Qing to serve in the middle of the house, add feudal seal supervisors, and reward a thousand gold." My move is to inform Jiaofang Hall that Wei Qing is my person, and if I dare to touch him again, I will definitely not spare him! ”

"But what you just said reminded me." Liu Che groaned slightly, "Now is the time to employ people, Wei Qing is forbearant and generous, I appreciate it very much, if it is cultivated, it is indeed a good talent!" ”

Han Yan bowed his head and said: "After Wei Ji gives birth, the minister will lead Wei Qing to come here, practice with the Qimen army, and cultivate in many ways." ”

"Good!" Liu Che looked at Han Yan's eyes with a glow, and said solemnly, "This matter will be handed over to you!" ”

"Go down! Get out of here! Gillian smashed the medicine jar and said hoarsely: "Don't drink it, what a bullshit prescription, you all want to harm the palace!" ”

Seeing that the queen was angry, the palace people in Jiaofang Hall were so frightened that they tiptoed to their feet, and hurriedly lowered their bodies and quickly withdrew from the palace.

"Oh, my dear, what's wrong?" Liu Yan came in from outside the hall and saw a piece of debris and walked over distressedly.

"Mother!" Gillian saw that her mother was coming, and threw herself into Liu's arms with a crying voice.

"My dear girl, what's wrong with you?" Liu Concubine stroked Gillian and asked in a good voice.

"Mother..."Gillian cried, "After drinking so much medicine, my stomach doesn't move at all, mother, can't I have a baby?" ”

"Nonsense! Jiao'er, what nonsense are you talking about! Liu Concubine patted Gillian and comforted her, "There has to be a process for giving birth to a child, how can you say that you will be born?" ”

"But after all these years, why... Why is there no movement at all? Gillian said with tears rippling.

"My delicate, think about it, since you were born until now, what has not been a smooth sailing?" Liu Yan said slowly, "You were born in the royal family, and now you are a queen, how can God be so kind to you, how can you be childless?" Now it's just a little test for you, my grandson will be the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty in the future, and God is testing whether you are sincere! ”

"Really? Mother..."Gillian was skeptical when she heard this, "Is God really just testing my sincerity?" ”

"Of course it's true!" Liu Concubine stroked Gillian and coaxed her voice, and her heart was also full of sorrow, if you don't say so, can you tell your daughter that you have spent as much as 90 million yuan on medical treatment but have nothing to gain?

"Jiao'er, don't be sorrowful, the heir of your life will come naturally when it is time to come!" Concubine Liu watched Gillian's mood slowly stabilize, and finally settled down a little.

"The Queen... Lord Dou..."When the palace people entered the palace, they saw that Gillian had tears in her eyes, and they didn't dare to speak timidly.

"What?" Concubine Liu looked at the palace people and asked angrily.

"Empress Qiyu... Lord Dou, Zhaoyang Palace... There's news from the Zhaoyang Palace..."The palace man lowered his head and said cautiously.

"Come on, what's going on over there in Zhaoyang Palace?" Gillian asked eagerly when she heard this.

Seeing this, the palace people whispered back: "The queen... Zhaoyang Hall Wei Ji... It's time to give birth..."

"Mother..."Gillian's mood that had just calmed down when she heard the words began to rise and fall again, and she fell on Liu Yan's shoulder and sobbed.

"My Jiao'er..."Concubine Liu sighed in her heart, hugged Gillian and gently comforted her.

In the Zhaoyang Palace, Liu Che kept walking back and forth.

An hour ago, he had to report that Wei Zifu was about to give birth, and he was so happy that he put down the bamboo slips and ran to Zhaoyang Palace, but Yang proudly chased after him and said: "Your Majesty, be careful!" Your Majesty, slow down! ”

Looking at the palace people shuttling in front of him, Liu Che was flustered and expectant, this is his first child, and he must be safe and smooth.

"How is it, Yang proudly, hasn't the child been born yet?" Liu Che asked eagerly.

Yang Sang, who had just gone to the inner hall to inquire about the news, replied proudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wei Ji is the first child, and now the midwife is giving birth inside!" ”

"Good, good!" Liu Che nodded, rubbing his hands anxiously.

Seeing this, Wei Qing comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although my sister is the first child, she has always had a stable pulse, and before giving birth, the imperial doctor also prescribed a prescription for midwifery, I believe that Lin'er will be born smoothly!" ”

"Really?" Liu Che looked at Wei Qing and nodded, "That's good, that's good!" I'm waiting! ”

After more than half an hour, I heard a baby's cry from the inner hall, and then two palace maids came out to report the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Wei Ji has added a princess to His Majesty! ”

"Reward! Reward! Liu Che was overjoyed, so excited that he didn't know what to say, he and Gillian had been married for many years and had nothing to say, Wei Zifu's baby was his first child, and he pulled Wei Qing with joy and said: "Wei Qing, I am a father, I am a father!" Hahahaha! ”

Wei Qing was also overjoyed, and congratulated: "Congratulations to Your Majesty! ”

"I want to see my little princess!" Liu Che couldn't help but be overjoyed, regardless of many taboos, strode into the inner hall, and all the palace maids in the hall saw the emperor enter, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, Liu Che waved his hand: "No courtesy!" Bring my little princess to me! ”

Wei Zifu lay on the bed weakly, her face was pale when she had just given birth to a child, but she still couldn't hide her joy, "Caixi, quickly hold the princess to Your Majesty!" ”

Cai Xi picked up the child and handed it to Liu Che according to his words, Liu Che carefully took the swaddling clothes, looked at the newborn child, and couldn't take his eyes off it, and a new father's joy came to his heart, "Zifu, you see how much our child looks like you!" ”

Wei Zifu couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the child is still young, where can he look like a concubine?" ”

Liu Che looked carefully, and his smiling eyebrows stretched, "The child's eyebrows are all like you, only the corners of his mouth are slightly like me." ”

Wei Zifu smiled and said, "Your Majesty Longmu, you must see it more clearly than Zifu, and ask Your Majesty to give our child a name." ”

Liu Che looked at the pink child in the swaddling clothes, and said in a deep voice: "The princess is the pearl of me, and she is given the name Jue, and she is the princess of the guard!" ”

"Jue'er!" Wei Zifu thought in a low voice, "Like a pearl like jade, Jue'er!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!" Wei Zifu was about to thank him, but was gently pressed by Liu Che, and Liu Che said softly: "Zifu, you just gave birth to a child for me, and your body is weak, so you don't need to be polite!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zifu thanked him softly, Liu Che handed the eldest princess to Cai Xi, stroked Wei Zifu and said in a good voice: "Zifu, you gave birth to the eldest princess for me, I am really happy, and I will definitely reward you!" ”

"Passing on my will, the princess of Zhaoyang Palace's guard gave birth to a princess, and she will be crowned as a lady from now on! Reward 1,000 taels of gold, 100 pieces of silk, a pearl, a pair of jade, and a night pearl. The people of Zhaoyang Palace have taken care of it, and they will be rewarded with half a year's money! ”

As soon as the holy decree was issued, the people of Zhaoyang Palace couldn't help but rejoice, and thanked the emperor in unison, and Wei Zifu was also happy in his heart, not only because of these rewards, but more importantly, Liu Che's heart for her.

Liu Che looked at Wei Zifu with a smile and said, "Zifu, you are so resting, I will go to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to bow now, and I will come to see you later." ”

Wei Zifu bowed his head and said, "No! Son-in-law sends off Your Majesty! ”

Looking at Liu Che's back, Wei Zifu felt that he had never been more stable and steady, but suddenly the shadow of Tian Meiren jumped into his heart, since the last time he said goodbye to Fangdian, he hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, I don't know how she and Shu Yu are doing now.

"Wow..."The eldest princess next to her, Liu Jue, was hungry and cried loudly, and Cai Xi hurriedly asked the nurse to pick up and feed. Looking at the pink-carved daughter in front of him, Wei Zifu only felt that life was like sugar in a honey pot, and a lot of happiness was a lot of happiness when he grabbed it.

Before the lantern arrived, the queen mother of the two palaces sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. The old queen mother Dou of Changxin Palace sent a red gold Ruyi, embedded with a cat's eye night pearl, dazzling, at a glance, you can know that it is a rare thing, meaning that the princess is auspicious. The Queen Mother of Changle Palace sent eight treasures Yingluo longevity lock, embedded with eight treasures, clouds, snails, umbrellas, covers, flowers, jars, fish, long, gold beads and emeralds, Guanghua Yeye, meaning that the princess lives a long life. Wei Zifu was busy rewarding the comers, and sent Cai Xi to the two palaces to thank him, and the palace was also full of lanterns to congratulate the arrival of Liu Jue, the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty.
