Almost on the same day, the clipper ship from Guangzhou and the clipper boat from Keelung arrived at Yuzhou Port at the same time, although the land of Jiangbei at this time was already frozen for thousands of miles, but because of the telegraph, still within a few minutes, the news brought back by the two clippers was still quickly transmitted to the Huaiwang Mansion, but unlike in the past, in the past, these telegrams would be presented to Zhu Mingzhong's case as soon as possible, but now, when the telegram was sent to the mansion, Zhu Mingzhong was not in his public house.

In the back house of the palace, Zhu Mingzhong walked slowly, and when the maids in the back house saw him, they would bow their heads to the side and bow.

Anyone can see that the current king is different from the past, and his expression looks a little nervous, but he still has some expectations.

Especially when he heard the heart-rending pain coming from the room, his heart was caught into a small ball, as a doctor, although he is not a professional, but Zhu Mingzhong is still very clear that in the 17th century, when the medical level was not developed, childbirth was simply a ghost gate for women. I don't know how many women lost their lives because they couldn't pass this hurdle.

Although as early as a month and a half ago, Jin Suo had already given birth to a daughter for him, but it was only a concubine's daughter, although the feeling of blood connection made Zhu Mingzhong very fond of him, and even the love of Wu and Wu was quite fond of Jin Suo.

But Zheng Ling is the princess of Huai, she gave birth to not only the eldest son, but also Zheng Ling's identity is also very special, she is the daughter of the Zheng family, and it is also the most solid connection between Qinghe and Nanjing, if there is any accident, no one knows what direction will develop between Qinghe and Nanjing in the future.

It is also because of this, now, the officials of the six officials in the palace will also cast their eyes on the back house, they are all waiting for the news from the back house, a month and a half ago, when the news of the wife's birth came out in the back house, they were looking forward to it, but also a little nervous, after all, it is well known that the lady is a concubine, if she gave birth to a son, as the eldest son of King Huai, will it cause any trouble in the future, just when they were nervous, until they heard that it was a daughter, they would be a little disappointed while letting go of a sighAfter all, as the subordinate officials of the palace, they and the King of Huai have long shared honor and disgrace and become one, and they naturally hope that the King of Huai can have a queen. It is precisely because of this that now, they will stare nervously at the back house, waiting for the news from the back house.

However, compared to others, Zhu Mingzhong, who was nervously pacing on the snow in the courtyard at this time, had only one thought, that is, he hoped that Zheng Ling could be safe with his mother and son.

Listening to Zheng Ling's wailing and the words of the midwife who kept shouting from the house, Zhu Mingzhong only felt that all this was almost tugging at his heartstrings. His frown tightened, and his eyes instantly sank.

If it really doesn't work, just ......

Thinking of the information he had read about caesarean section, Zhu Mingzhong was not confident that such an operation could be performed in this era, and there was no anesthetic.

What to do?

Shi Zhao, who walked into the courtyard, saw Zhu Mingzhong pacing nervously in the courtyard, so he curtfell and saluted.

"The concubine has seen the king."

"Xiao Zhao, why are you here?"

Looking at Shi Zhao, whose waist was a little bloated because of pregnancy, Zhu Mingzhong's brows were slightly locked.

"I was in a bit of a hurry there, so I wanted to come and see my sister."

Looking towards the room, Shi Zhao's expression was extremely nervous, she and Zheng Ling had always been like sisters, so she was naturally worried about Zheng Ling.

"Xiao Zhao, don't worry, Ling'er's body is very strong, and it will never be fine......"

Zhu Mingzhong will not comfort others with any "auspicious nature", he knows that Zheng Ling's body is the foundation for her to survive this hurdle, and her body is naturally stronger than ordinary women when she often practices martial arts, and she will definitely be fine.

"Ah......h

At that moment, another scream of pain was heard from the room. There were also some happy words from the midwife.

“…… Alright, Princess, you push a little harder...... I saw the head come out...... It's coming out soon......"

With a shout of joy, a loud cry of "Wow, Wow......" came out of the house, and this cry was extremely loud in the silent courtyard.

"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, it's a son!"

Son!

Hurriedly entering the room, Zhu Mingzhong eagerly hugged the baby who was already tightly wrapped, and the whole person's attention was suddenly attracted by the baby in his arms, and there was no room for other things in his eyes.

This is my son!

Looking at the sleeping baby, a light smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes were full of joy, but the congratulations of the midwife here seemed to him to be a little harsh, and after ordering him to give a reward, he could be regarded as blocking the mouth of the midwife.

"King, let's, let the concubine see ...... son"

After suffering for a few hours, Zheng Ling, who was extremely weak, spoke in a low voice. She even forced her body to sit up, but in the end she just lay on the bed, staring at her son wrapped in the quilt stupidly, and the beautiful eyes burst out of the eyes full of love that only belong to the mother.

Looking at Zheng Ling's weak appearance, Zhu Mingzhong's heart couldn't help but feel moved, so he said lightly.

"Ling'er, you've worked hard, take a good rest......"

A moment later, the news of King Huai's future came out, which made those officials in the palace who had been paying attention to the affairs of the palace all breathe a sigh of relief, they knew that the biggest hidden danger of King Huai had finally disappeared.

There is a successor to King Huai!

This sentence seems simple, but all along, Zhu Mingzhong's "no queen" is the biggest concern in the hearts of the entire Huaiwang Mansion's subordinate officials, and they are most worried about the fact that in case of "entrepreneurship is not half and the middle way collapses", once it happens, the Huai King will inevitably make everyone lose their backbone, so that everything in the future will instantly become unknown, and even whether the Ming Dynasty can be restored will become unknown.

Of course, many of them are not worried about the "failure of the middle way to start a business", and the Ming Dynasty will become unknown, but about their future, after all, everything they have already tied up with King Huai. Nothing can be separated.

Well, now all the unknowns have disappeared invisibly because King Huai has a son. King Huai has a queen and the eldest son of the princess can be said to be from a very positive background, even if there is really something unexpected for King Huai in the future, as long as Wang Shizi is here, then the entire Huai Wang's mansion will not fall apart, everyone will still support Wang Shizi to inherit the cause of King Huai, and after Wang Shizi becomes an adult, this Huai Wang line is still a strong domain with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty, and can still influence the government, and they, as Huai Wang's subordinate officials, can still continue their glory and wealth under the protection of the big tree of King Huai.

Not only do ordinary officials think so, but even Zhu Zhiyu, the teacher who is the king of Huai, as the "elder" of the king of Huai, he even cites hundreds of children's names, only waiting for the king to screen out one of them, and at the same time has included the position of Wang Shizi's enlightenment teacher.

The reason why Zhu Zhiyu is like this is that he has the care of being an "elder", but on the other hand, he has no selfishness for the unpaid, he hopes that through this, "practical learning" can take root in the palace of the Huai Wang, and finally through the support of generations of Huai Wang, let "practical learning" replace the "Taoism" since the Song Dynasty, and completely abandon the bad habit of Taoist wandering without roots. And if you want to achieve this goal, you naturally need the support of the powerful, although there has always been the support of Zhu Mingzhong, but Zhu Zhiyu still needs to consider the future, he will never tolerate any "Taoism" to influence, influence Wang Shizi, so that King Huai in the future "from real to virtual".

Everyone has a selfishness, and everyone has a purpose. Everyone's starting point is different, and when the news of Wang Shizi's birth reached the military mansion, several people in the mansion joined the army, and most of them also said oh, although most of them were happy in their expressions, but in that joy, there was another taste.

"God forbid! The safety of mother and child is really blessed by God. ”

As soon as Qian Lei's words fell, Wu Youcai smiled over there.

"The king and the princess are all good people, and God will naturally not treat them lightly."

Wu Youcai, who came to Qinghe from Changzhou as early as last year, is a household official in the military government and is in charge of the financial and taxation power in Jiangbei, and can be described as one of the most prominent officials. And he, like Qian Lei, was the earliest "retainer", and the reason why King Huai was able to pacify Jiangbei had a lot to do with his supply of grain in Changzhou. Everyone knows very well that it is only a matter of time before he becomes a counselor to join the army, and among the many "retinues", he has the closest relationship with Qian Lei, after all, when the two were in Changzhou, they were already old buddies.

"You know, the king doesn't believe in destiny."

The king doesn't believe in the mandate of heaven, Qian Lei understands this, Wu Youcai certainly knows it, but the king can not believe it, but they believe it, after all, the two of them never thought that one day they could be in such a high position as they are now, at that time they were just the master of the yain and the scribe in the army, and today is not only the acquaintance of King Huai, but also related to luck.

"A few hours ago, a telegram came from Haizhou, and the King of Jin had recovered Guangzhou."

As a member of the army, Qian Lei could come into contact with such a confidential telegram at the first time, but Wu Youcai did not have this power, after hearing the news, he was stunned at first, and then said.

"So fast?"

"Well, it only took sixteen days from the arrival of the soldiers in Guangzhou to the recovery of Guangzhou! The telegram mentioned that the king of Jin would give the king half of the silver coins confiscated in Shang Kexi's mansion. ”

After that, Qian Lei glanced at Wu Youcai with some playfulness and said with a smile.

"This time, our Jiangbei can be regarded as making a windfall, didn't someone say anything at the beginning, it was useless to run a sailor to build a warship, and now we can gag their mouths!"

Not everyone can understand the intention of Jiangbei to run a sailor, and even many people feel that it is too wasteful. Even Qian Lei couldn't understand it at first, but his principle was very simple, as long as it was decided by the lord, he would fully support it.

"How much silver?"
