Chapter 236: The Queen's Birth
Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom. The reduction of the feudal domain that Li Ji put on the agenda has not moved for a long time, and the matter of the Jin King Li Cunmiao uniting the feudal towns to wage war against the imperial court has also disappeared.
It's not that they're not in a hurry, they're all in the same hurry. However, this war cannot be done with the upper lip service and the lower mouth, and the whole body must be considered in all aspects when starting a war.
People's livelihood, taxes, grain and grass, military salaries, odds of winning, equipment...... Numerous.
Beating Wang Jian was forced by the situation, and beating Zhu Youwen was a hand-in-hand. If it is to fight the King of Jin, it will be a big trouble, and the other feudal towns will definitely not sit idly by. If it wants to fight, it can only be a full-scale war by the imperial court against the feudal town.
This requires the overall situation, and the imperial court must be fully prepared. And Li Cunqiao took over the position of his father Li Ke, and there are still many generals under him who are not convinced, and he needs to replace these generals with his own henchmen, which is not an overnight matter.
If you are too anxious, it will easily cause the generals to rebel, so Li Cunmiao has to take his time.
There is also good news, Li Cunqiao and several vassal kings have a close relationship in private. Yang Xingmi, Zhong Chuan, Ma Yin, Wang Xianzhi, Liu Rengong and others all expressed their honor and disgrace, and they all knew that one loss was lost, and the feudal towns could only compete with the imperial court by reporting to the group for warmth.
The good news on Li Ji's side is also continuous, first the steel came out. The steel smelted in the blast furnace is really of excellent quality, and it is made into steel, and with high-strength steel, it can be made into seamless steel pipes.
With seamless steel pipes, it was possible to make muskets.
With the musket, even if all the feudal towns united against the imperial court, it would be a piece of cake for Li Ji.
At this time, Li Ji was waiting anxiously outside the Lizheng Palace, he had never been so nervous. Even in the face of such a sinister situation as Zhu Wen, he had never been so nervous.
The Lizheng Hall is even more like a great enemy, and the palace maids frequently enter and exit with towels and hot water.
"How's it going?" Li Ji couldn't wait.
A palace maid was frightened: "Your Majesty, Niangniang is working hard."
Zhang Wanxi is about to give birth, giving birth to a child, especially the first child, Li Ji knows very well what it means.
In ancient times, there were countless women who died in childbirth, and children who died early abounded. The medical conditions are backward, and a small cold can kill people, not to mention heavy bleeding in pregnant women.
But Zhang Wanxi didn't move in it for a long time, Li Ji never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, his heart seemed to jump out of his heart.
I was really afraid of something, and a midwife ran out in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good, it's not good, my mother has a difficult birth."
Li Ji's head 'buzzed', and he didn't care about any etiquette, he pushed away everyone and hurriedly broke in.
Youwei and Fuquan were shocked, and they didn't dare to follow along. After Li Ji entered, a group of palace maids with hot water towels knelt down one after another.
A curtain covered the lower half of Zhang Wanxi's body, and the three midwives were busy there.
Zhang Wanxi was sweating profusely, Li Ji went over to hold her hand, Zhang Wanxi looked at him and shouted, "Your Majesty."
Li Ji only felt that his legs were sore: "Wanxi, breathe, breathe deeply, quickly!"
The firstborn child was too big, and Zhang Wanxi kept straining, and her forehead was full of sweat.
Li Ji's hands trembled slightly, if this mother and son have three long and two short, what does it mean for this emperor to sit, what about the king in the world, and what about the four seas returning to one.
Dystocia, the most terrible thing was encountered by Li Ji. Why is it as easy for people to give birth to a child as a lamb, but they encounter such a big difficulty?
Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life, is history going to repeat itself in Zhang Wanxi. She is so kind, what did she do wrong, why bear this pain.
Darkness, boundless darkness. In this era, what else can you count on except relying on the will of God, in modern times, you can go to the hospital, you can have a cereal birth, you can have a blood transfusion.
What can be done here, unless a miracle happens.
Wait, miracle? I have traveled through myself, so why can't I travel to the modern age? If you can take Zhang Wanxi back to modern times, you can send her to the hospital.
Although this is unlikely, Li can only hope for the damn system.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, system! Yes, the son of a bitch system might be able to help with something.
Thinking of this, Li Ji got up suddenly: "Wanxi, remember, take a deep breath and exert yourself!" After speaking, Li Ji ran to the side hall of the Lizheng Palace.
He ordered that no one should enter the side hall, and he began to try to summon the system, hoping that it would help.
But this system is like death, whether Li Ji begged, scolded angrily, and even knelt down to pray, the system was silent.
Outside, Zhang Wanxi was still working hard, and Li Ji was also in a hurry.
"The son of a bitch!" Li Ji finally broke out, smashing the things in the side hall, and there was still no response.
As time passed, Li Ji's heart began to sink slowly. The longer it is, the more dangerous it is.
Li Ji was disheveled, and he didn't know where to run with a shoe. He started to despair, he started to resent, he started to regret why he didn't read books like childbirth before he crossed over. He didn't know anything about having children.
There has never been a despair, and Li Ji has had a smooth journey since he crossed over, and he has never encountered any major setbacks. Even in the face of Zhu Wen, there are always peaks and turns, and the willows and flowers are bright.
But nowadays, dystocia is an extremely dangerous thing in modern times, let alone in the era of Datang.
Having never experienced despair, Li Ji felt deeply helpless at this moment, and it was difficult for those who had not experienced it to experience this state. He pounded his head fiercely, clutching his hair tightly, fearing that he would tear it off if he tried harder.
Since the age of eight, Li Ji has not cried again. At this moment, he covered his mouth and cried, God has any suffering to befall him, why should he be embarrassed for this mother and son.
Zhang Wanxi's mother died in childbirth, and now it is her turn. A woman's life is the hardest, and Li Ji swore that if she could escape this catastrophe, she would definitely be twice as good.
Outside was still busy like a marquee, Li Ji held his head in his hands in despair, and at this moment, a voice sounded in his head: "The bouncing system is turned on......"
Li Ji lit up suddenly, it turned out that this is the method to open the system, holding his head in both hands?
He tried to let go of his hand and hold his head again, and sure enough, a voice sounded in his head again: "The bouncing system is turned on......"
Li Ji happily opened his teeth and danced his claws, jumping and shouting in the side hall, and the people in the Lizheng Hall were all surprised to hear the sound of the emperor in the side hall shouting, but they did not dare to break in.
Youwei and Fuquan were so anxious outside the palace that they were about to cry, and the Empress Dowager He of Jishan Palace was also very anxious, and she sent the palace maid Ah Qiu to inquire one after another.
Ah Qiu walked out of the Lizheng Palace, and Youwei and Fuquan hurriedly rushed over: "Ah Qiu, how is the inside, Niangniang?"
Ah Qiu shook his head with a heavy face, and Youwei knelt down: "The Bodhisattva Immortal who saves the suffering, please bless the mother and son with safety."
Fuquan heard Li Ji say that immortals are all farts, and he doesn't believe in immortals. Fu Quan sat down on the ground and cried: "Why, how can this be, mother!"
Youwei kicked him hard: "What are you crying about!" But his tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Fu Quan stopped crying, he wiped his tears, learned to be promising, knelt on the ground and prayed: "All the gods and bodhisattvas, Buddhas and saints, bless my mother with good life and good health." Niangniang, Niangniang, she is a good person! ”
Li Ji and Zhang Wanxi are very conniving with their subordinates, and these palace maids and eunuchs are probably the happiest servants in history. Even if they make mistakes, they will often be tolerated, and sometimes Li Ji and Zhang Wanxi deliberately protect them, lest these palace maids be reprimanded by the Shang Palace.
The system lived, and Li Ji was overjoyed: "Please, the system will help me, what should the queen do if she has a difficult birth?"
"I'm sorry, but in the current system upgrade, the upgrade progress is 85%, and it is inconvenient to answer any questions. Once the system has been upgraded 100%, it will be reactivated. ”
Li Ji was stunned: "What? What a bullshit system you are! ”
"I'm sorry, but in the current system upgrade, the upgrade progress is 85%, and it is inconvenient to answer any questions. Once the system has been upgraded 100%, it will be reactivated. ”
No matter what Li Ji says, the system is repeating these few sentences. The heart that was originally happy has fallen to the bottom again.
"Is it really going to kill me?" Li Ji muttered a reply, he was completely desperate.
"Wow!" , accompanied by the baby's first cry, broke the original tension of the entire Lizheng Palace.
Pounding ...... Li Ji's heart jumped excitedly again, only to hear the midwife of the Lizheng Hall shouting excitedly: "I have given birth, and the mother and child are safe!"
Mother and son are safe, there is nothing more exciting than these four words. He only felt the Venus in front of him, barely managed to support his body, and crashed into the hall.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" The midwives and maids in the hall knelt down one after another, and this time everyone had a happy look on their faces.
Zhang Wanxi looked at Li Ji gently, her eyes were full of smiles, and Li Ji smiled back.
Everyone looked at Li Ji with his hair scattered, and saw him barefoot, and they couldn't help but laugh secretly in their hearts. After laughing, not only was he secretly moved, but His Majesty really had a deep affection for the queen.
Zhang Wanxi was even more moved, I was only physically tortured here, but he was even more tortured outside.
"Your Majesty, it's a princess." The midwife hugged the child in a hug.
Zhang Wanxi felt a pang in her heart: How can she be a girl, not a prince.
Li Ji didn't care, he gently hugged the child, and was excited to fly: "Hahaha, I'm a father." Hello princess, good princess! Hahaha, great! ”
Zhang Wanxi was a little unhappy: "Your Majesty, the concubine failed to give you a prince, is it the concubine's."
"What nonsense, I just like princesses, you look like you." Li Ji hugged the child to Zhang Wanxi's side.
Mother and son are connected, Zhang Wanxi, who was still entangled in being a princess, immediately changed her mind when she saw the child. She looked at the little guy with loving eyes, and before she could open her eyes, her two little hands were scratching in the air.
The midwife smiled on the side and said, "Your Majesty, the mother is the first child, and the child is big, so it takes some effort." It's good to wait for the second and third children, fortunately, the mother and child are safe. ”
Li Ji nodded: "Well, come on, reward!" Heavy tip! ”
Outside the palace, I heard that the queen gave birth to a princess, Youwei and Fuquan hugged each other tightly and screamed and jumped, and Ah Qiufei ran to Jishan Palace.
"Queen Mother! The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was born! Before he arrived at the main hall of Jishan Palace, Ah Qiu shouted.
Empress Dowager He stood up nervously, she was most worried about the issue of the heir: "Prince or princess?"
Ah Qiu paused: "Yes, it's a princess." The queen mother had some difficult births, and the ancestors blessed her, but fortunately the mother and child were safe. ”
Empress Dowager He sighed, her originally happy heart suddenly cooled in half, how could she be a princess. If the prince is good, he can inherit the unification.
Ah Qiu comforted on the side: "The imperial doctor said that Niangniang is in good health, and the midwife also said that because of Niangniang's first child, the second and third children will be much smoother in the future, and Niangniang's next child will definitely give birth to a prince."
In any case, even if she is a princess, it is a great joy. Empress Dowager He was happy again: "Okay, good, princess."
For Li Ji, it can be described as a line between life and death. Fortunately, the mother and child are safe, and the child lands safely. Although she is a princess, Li Ji doesn't care.
Although he also thought about having a child to inherit the throne, he and his wife are still young after all, and there will be opportunities in the future. can
The ministers didn't think so, they felt that the queen had given birth to a princess, so they wrote to the emperor that he must take a concubine.
You are not an emperor for yourself, but for the sake of the country. In front of the country, your body is not your own, and it is your duty as an emperor to pass on the lineage.
The absence of a prince in the country is a sign of chaos, taking advantage of Li Ji's youth, he should have more concubines, and only with the prince can the world be stable, and others will not covet the throne of the Dragon Court.
No matter how the ministers admonished, Li Ji just bit to death and did not let go.
"I repeat, I will never take a concubine in this life. As soon as the queen gave birth to the princess, you mentioned the matter of the concubine, how can I be worthy of the queen. ”
Dugu Yu stood up: "No, Your Majesty, Niangniang knows that righteousness will not be suspicious, Your Majesty's concubine is to prepare for the crown prince." Emperor Wen and Empress Wen of the previous dynasty swore that they did not want to have a different son, and the prince was not prosperous, and even the disaster of the country. ”
"Nonsense!" Li Ji was furious: "The prince looks at his character and ability, no matter how many princes there are, it is even more of a disaster for the princes to compete for the prince."
"Your Majesty, only with many sons and many blessings can the society continue, and the queen mother is the world, but after all, one person is limited." Even Kong Lin followed.
"I just don't accept concubines, what can you do!" Li Ji played a scoundrel.
"This," Dugu was not afraid: "That minister only has bitter advice!"
Li Ji snorted: "Whatever you want, you just want to die, and I won't accept a concubine."
The ministers looked at each other, and the emperor was iron-hearted. Don't accept concubines, such an emperor is really rare.
Fortunately, the ministers felt that Li Ji was still young. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the emperor has no heirs, doesn't King De have it? In case there is any accident, isn't there still a queen mother, it's a big deal to choose a prince from King De.
