Chapter 755: The Last Year

Republic January 18, 1789

Ha Chung Fu.

Xu Daixuan, the king of Qin, dressed in military uniform, stood in the courtyard of the harem of the Qin Palace, facing the closed door of a luxurious room.

His fists clenched, his muscles tensed, and he didn't say a word.

Surrounded by a group of old women and doctors who are busy in and out of the house, like ants in a hot pot, scurrying around.

There was a deep voice from the woman in the room who was enduring extreme pain, and the midwife's loud encouragement: "Niangniang, work harder, harder!" See the head! It's coming out! ”

Xu Daixuan, who was standing outside the door, could hear these words clearly, and he felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat.

Why are you so nervous? Xu Daixuan himself felt a little strange.

This is not the first time he has experienced the birth of his own child, he has already had three children, two boys and one girl.

But three times it didn't make me feel as nervous as this one.

Maybe this is because it is his own princess who is in the delivery room at this time, and the child is a sister-in-law?

It is also possible that this is because the expedition is imminent, and Xu Daixuan also hopes that his child can be born safely, which has brought him good luck?

Xu asked himself if he was a superstitious manβ€”he had destroyed hundreds of Zoroastrian temples in Pars, and he had also restricted the development of Buddhism and did not allow monks to preach to the Han Chinese.

But in the face of this situation, he just can't help but think about it.

Still, instead of praying to God or anything like that, he began to threaten them in his heart, instead:

If you do not keep your mother and child safe, this king will tear down all the temples and temples in the territory. ’

As soon as this thought came to mind, a loud cry suddenly came from the delivery room.

"Wow! Wow! ”

After a while, a sweaty midwife came out of the house and said to Xu Daixuan tired but happy:

"Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King! It's a prince! Mother and child are safe! ”

Call.......

Xu Daixuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he held back the excitement in his heart and said as calmly as possible:

"All doctors, Wen Po, reward a hundred taels of gold."

"King Xie!"

Xu Daixuan turned to leave, as if the person who couldn't say the nervous words just now was not him.

Walking to the study, King Qin picked up a pen and wrote two words on a piece of paper: victory.

In this era, even if it is the emperor's house, the newborn child cannot guarantee that he will be able to grow up safely, so the custom in Juzhou's hometown is not to take a big name before the age of five, only a small name, and when the child grows up, he will have a real name.

Victory, this is the nickname of the eldest son of King Qin.

Putting down the pen, Xu Daixuan was satisfied and handed the paper with the child's name to the maid beside the queen, and at the same time instructed:

"Let their mother and son have a good rest, don't worry about my side."

The wife has given birth to his future, and it is time for him, as a husband, to strive for a better living environment for the future.

"Inform the whole army, attack! Target, Tessifon! ”

An hour later, outside the city of Hezhongfu, the earth-shattering war drums sounded, and the soldiers and auxiliary troops, totaling more than 250,000 Qin troops, divided their troops into four routes and began to attack according to the predetermined plan.

In the delivery room, Jin Ming, the queen of Qin, who looked a little pale because of blood loss, gently held her child and whispered:

"Little victory, your father is going to war, let's wish him a victory, okay?"

……

Jinling, Changle Palace.

"I didn't have a war last year, and it's really a little unaccustomed."

The emperor sat on a chaise longue by the pond in the Imperial Garden, and said to Xu Shiyang in a graceful manner:

"More than twenty years, right? When our father and son were still nesting in Juzhou, there was no year without war. First fought with bandits, with the Jurchen Tartars, with the main Wubao of various roads, and later with the Goryeo, with the Wako, with the Mughuls, and then with the Dangxiang Tartars, all walks of life, and even the former Zhou court, until now. ”

'That's me fighting, have you ever been on the front line?' ’

Xu Shiyang scolded in his stomach, lowered his head and smiled, but did not answer, and concentrated on dealing with the snacks and tea on the small table.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Missing that little bit of refreshment? ”

"Get used to it." Xu Shiyang replied with a smile: "If you have something to eat, try to eat, eat as soon as possible, and save time to do other things." ”

"Hehe, it's also a habit in the army, right?" The emperor shook his head and said helplessly: "This habit can't be said to be bad, but I still think that you should try to be as calm as possible in everything you do in the future, don't rush so much, as if you don't have enough time." ”

"It's like you made such a big case last year, almost offended the entire Jiangnan Shilin and Green Forest, and caused people to assassinate you."

"They deserve it, and if they do something they shouldn't, they have to bear the consequences and accept punishment." Xu Shiyang replied lightly: "I will continue to clean them up in the future, don't think that I let go of the Zhou Shi case, that is, I want to compromise with Shilin, I want to break their monopoly on knowledge and deprive them of the right to interpret knowledge, there is actually no possibility of compromise between us." ”

"You, you, you didn't start a war last year, and you let go of the Zhuang family who wrote a book to slander us, I still think you have changed your character, isn't this still like that?" The emperor smiled and said, "I have seen this year's annual budget report, you are going to launch an attack on Champa and annex Champ?" ”

"Yes, in fact, I can sweep away all the countries on the Southeast Peninsula at once, but eating too much at once is easy to indigestion. So I'm going to destroy one country in one year, this year it's Champa, next year it's Chenla, and the year after next it's Siam ......"

"You can make up your own mind about next year." The emperor suddenly interrupted Xu Shiyang: "Do you remember the original five-year period?" This year is the last year, and next year I will abdicate as the emperor, and you can do the rest yourself. ”

"Father, there's no need to be in such a hurry, I think you can do it for a few more years." Xu Shiyang frowned and persuaded: "I think you did a good job, and it won't be a problem to work for another five years." ”

The size of the empire was too large, and Xu Shiyang felt that it was a good idea to have someone in charge of the capital to help him complete the reforms, while at the same time maintaining expansion and development in the border areas.

Dad has administrative experience, and his cooperation with himself has been good for so many years, so what's the big deal about letting him be the emperor for a few more years?

Anyway, what I care about is not that position, whether I am the prince or the emperor, the rudder of the empire is still controlled by myself.

"Of course you think I'm doing a good job, I'm your father, and I've always met all your requirements, so you can be so worry-free, what do you think is bad?"

The emperor waved his hand and said with some disgust:

"But I don't want to be on this throne anymore!"

"I have been the emperor of the world, and I will definitely leave a name in history in the future! That's enough, I don't have to sit in this position to get anything else I want. ”
