When the summer of Chongzhen's ninth year was gradually approaching, there was another thing that Xiao Xuan finally had to face again.

In the inner courtyard of the central manor, Tian Xiuying endured the pain with great perseverance, and finally gave birth to Xiao Xuan's first child in this world, but Tian Xiuying's excitement did not last long, and after learning that there was only one girl after so many years, the whole person's expression was also a little sluggish.

According to the original history, as early as the beginning of the throne, it should be the heirs who flourished. However, Xiao Xuan did not want to face many risks that he might face in advance when the era of great changes was full of tasks, and many children he had in history had also disappeared before or postponed for many years before the fetus.

Nine years ago, many of the old people in the Xindi, including Tian Xiuying, were still fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers, but nearly ten years have passed, even in some years in later generations, Tian Xiuying, Zhou Yufeng and others are now on the verge of high-risk maternal grades.

Tian Xiuying has also learned a lot from the imperial doctors who have practiced a lot in the folk over the years, this is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that Tian Xiuying of course knows that Zhou Yufeng also has a child at the same time, if a baby boy is born, although Xiao Xuan said that the eldest child is not the key to establishing an heir, but if he is very unlucky to have no boy in the future, then the risk he will face in a few years is undoubtedly unpredictable

Xiao Xuan didn't have much pressure after learning about this, on the contrary, it seemed that his heart seemed to be relieved to a large extent, at least, he had a year or close to a year to deal with other things or prepare for a possible prince's education?

At this time, Xiao Xuan even had a conjecture that might not have much basis. Since ancient times, the so-called primogeniture inheritance system is probably because the eldest son is generally born relatively early, and when the emperor has not enough experience in governance, the candidate structure of the crown prince and the prince has been finalized, and the disguised restriction of the monarchy can be achieved by leading the selection of the prince and the prince. Looking back, it can be said that the time since he ascended the throne for nine years can be said to have been preparing for a new generation of talent system since the first battle in the capital in the second year, but now those newcomers who have been selected since childhood are now only fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Xiuying should have faith in me, and as I said, there are new rules about these things from now on. No one dares to reveal the gender or even the real identity of the child, and the child will grow up for a period of time under the condition of keeping his identity a secret. They will only know that they are orphans specially selected from the people, and their true identities are only known to me and a few others, so what are you worried about? ”

Although Tian Xiuying was still very tired, she didn't want to be too narrow-minded, so she smiled comfortingly at Xiao Xuan: "I have confidence in the monarch, and I believe that we should have our own descendants in the future." Since the palace is no longer the palace it used to be, and many systems have changed, I know what I have to shoulder after all... ”

At this time, although the people around Zhou Yufeng didn't know whether the child Tian Xiuying gave birth to was a boy or a girl, some news was still very well-informed: "I heard that when Jun Shang came back, his expression was quite relaxed, and he could hardly see any pressure. Based on our understanding of the king, there is a chance that the baby born by Tian Xiuying is a girl, maybe the day when the lady turns over is not too far away... ”

"Really?" Compared with a long time ago, Zhou Yufeng at this time also seemed much more mature and stable, and he also understood that there seemed to be many things between himself and the emperor since he ascended the throne, and many things did not come from that palace change. Even if he was born a boy, Zhou Yufeng did not put hope in this generation, and the only expectation was that if he could have a boy, he would not have to be a person who was strict with himself, but a merry and happy person, because only in this way would he have more opportunities in the next generation.

At this time, Zhou Yufeng of course also understood that the people around him were not completely contemplative, so he said calmly: "Everything is different from the past now. I heard that in the new civil law, even if the head of the household entrusts all his property to an irrelevant outsider according to the will, as long as the official certification is passed, it is okay. Now that there is no palace to say, the king will definitely make the most likely compromise based on the country, everything depends on the will of God... ”

When the lights of some courtyards in the central manor were raised, Xiao Xuan did not spend time in the past at this time, of course, Xiao Xuan also knew that the danger and turbulence of a series of changes in the country had not really passed, although a series of battles had already been divided, but if Taixi encountered problems this time, maybe he would still face some turmoil.

It's just that at this time, Xiao Xuan doesn't need to review a large number of reports and personally contact many front-line personnel like before, as long as he reviews some key court trials and case files, and even related personnel and human lives, it is enough, and he is not seeking a new Great Qin Underground Palace from the central management to the local government now. In the new round of separation, the new local government has also formed a mutual balance similar to that of the Han Dynasty to a large extent, because there are many new nobles.

Unlike Xiao Xuan, who was walking on thin ice, the elite of the volunteer troops who returned from the expedition at this moment completely got rid of the risks of serving in the army and enjoyed many things that they did not enjoy in the past.

In a special underground palace for self-indulgence, the women laughed and withdrew at the request, and some people drunkenly began to talk about some inside information about the wartime in the distance: "Do you say that those people in the revolutionary army can deal with the resurgent Tessie army?" If it weren't for us, just those people, even if they had the advantage of raiding and the command of the king, how much strength would they be able to exert? ”

"It's not necessarily, we have gnawed down the bones that were difficult to gnaw at the beginning, and dealt with the remaining remnants of the defeated generals, maybe those people can also be competent?"

"Maybe it won't be long before the king wants us people to go into battle again...

This may have caused a lot of excitement in the past, but at this time, for some reason, I have a different feeling.
