Sima Yi originally thought of Jinyang and asked Liu Xie about his own arrangements, but he didn't want others to come to Jinyang, but Liu Xie was not in Jinyang, and learned from the newly appointed Taiyuan County Shou Du Ji that as early as five days before Sima Yi arrived in Jinyang with the Han An Army, Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, seemed to suddenly remember an important matter, and hurriedly explained some matters that the state officials needed to pay attention to, and then rushed back to Chang'an with people.

"Things seem to be very important, when the lord left, he only brought more than a thousand cavalry with him, and the team only set off to return to Chang'an yesterday." Du Ji said to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was a little puzzled, didn't he hear anything wrong with Chang'an? To say that there was a hidden danger of the Hu people going south before, but now that the Xianbei people have been beaten away, and the Huns are about to be dispersed to various places, there is no longer any threatening existence around Chang'an, is there something wrong with the court? It shouldn't be, the only young emperor who is likely to compete with Liu Xie for the throne is long gone. Even if there are really people with bad intentions, can Fa Yan and Zhang Song, who are the people who lead the eyes and ears of the court, be indifferent?

What was the reason for Liu Xie to hurry back to Chang'an and not want to delay for a moment? With this question, Sima Yi returned to the army. The arrangement of the Han'an army has been down, which is exactly what Sima Yi wants, and Liu Xie arranged the Han'an army in Bashu, and while being responsible for the stable restoration of the people's livelihood in Bashu, he also monitored the movements of Liu Bei in Jingnan. Ma Chao's Fubo Army was responsible for escorting Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban back to Xuzhou, and after sending people back, the Fubo Army was stationed at Xiaoguan to monitor Cao Cao's movements in Xuzhou. As for the safety of Puyang, Liu Xie arranged for Pang De to lead the Xiao cavalry battalion in the army of the Son of Heaven to be temporarily responsible, and after the imperial court had a surplus in finances, the establishment of another new army seemed to be a certainty.

"Zhongda, what do you want?" On the way to the Bashu garrison with his army, Zhao Yun saw Sima Yi frowning along the way, and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I still can't figure out why the lord suddenly hurried back to Chang'an. Zilong, what do you think will happen to Chang'an? Is it worth the lord to be in such a hurry? Sima Yi asked.

“…… Are you thinking about this? Earlier, don't think about it, I know. ”

"You know? Tell me, what is the reason? ”

"What else is the reason? As a father, the child is about to be born, shouldn't he rush back to stay by his wife's side? ”

“…… Zilong, what do you mean by that? ”

"What else do you mean? I didn't understand enough? The mother is about to give birth, and the lord rushed back to Chang'an naturally to see the birth of the child with his own eyes. ”

"Uh...... Is the main mother pregnant? How did I not know this? Sima Yi was stunned and asked Zhao Yundao.

"Why do you have to tell you this?" Zhao Yun glanced at Sima Yi when he heard this, and added: "The lord didn't let too many people know about this matter, and I only learned about it from the letter written by my sister. ”

“…… So which housemother is about to give birth this time? ”

"It's Mrs. Zhen."

"Is that her? It's okay, it's okay. ”

"Zhongda, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Yun asked dissatisfiedly when he saw this. What does it mean, is it true that only Mrs. Zhen is qualified to be pregnant?

"Zilong, don't misunderstand, I mean to say that Mrs. Zhen is the firstborn is a good thing for the imperial court."

“…… Explain. Zhao Yun looked at Sima Yi and said in an unkind tone.

Sima Yi sensed the crisis, and hurriedly explained: "Zilong, you think, the lord has no heirs now, if Mrs. Zhen gives birth to a son this time, the lord will not say anything about it, and those of us who serve the lord can be regarded as having a heart disease." ”

"I understand this, but why do you say that it is a good thing that Mrs. Zhen is a firstchild, is it a bad thing if my sister or Mrs. Bu is pregnant with a firstborn?"

"This, Zilong, you listen to my explanation. I don't have any opinion on your sister Mrs. Zhao or Mrs. Bu, but the two of them are next to you Zilong and Yuan Zhi, which is a little inappropriate. You Zilong has a heavy army, and Yuan Zhi is now also a feudal official. If Mrs. Zhao or Mrs. Bu gave birth to the first child, and happened to give birth to a baby boy, then the mother is more precious than the son, and I am afraid that the posterior position will be decided. But in this way, you and Yuan Zhi will definitely be affected. If the strength of this descendant clan is too great, it will inevitably have an impact on the court, right? ”

"Zhongda, you're thinking too much, aren't you?" Zhao Yun said with some disbelieving.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, but prevention is better than ignition, the lessons of the past are not far away, and it's always right to be careful." Sima Yi didn't argue, nodded and said.

“…… Zhong Da, then why do you think Mrs. Zhen is suitable after the seal? ”

"This ...... I forgot about it, and if anyone mentions it in the future, I won't admit it."

"Look at your cautious look, am I the kind of gossip person?" Zhao Yun said unhappily when he saw this.

"Huh...... The reason why I think that Mrs. Zhen is the most in line with the interests of everyone in the court is mainly because there is no successor in this generation of the Zhen family, although Mrs. Zhen's sisters are smart, but after all, they all want to marry women, and they will be able to prosper in the future, but it is impossible to have any impact on the court, as for Mrs. Zhen's two brothers, but the qualifications of the Chinese, it is already the end of being able to mix with a squire in the court, and it will not pose a potential threat to the court. ”

"According to what you mean, Yuan Zhi and I are potential threats to the court?"

"It may have been before, but now it's not, as long as Mrs. Zhen gives birth to a dragon, then the world of this great man can last for hundreds of years. I just don't know if Mrs. Zhen gave birth to a man or a girl? ”

……

Sima Yi and Zhao Yun were guessing whether Zhen Mi gave birth to a boy or a girl, and as the father of the child, Liu Xie was waiting anxiously outside the delivery room at this time.

Liu Xiegui was busy, and after sending troops to annex the state, he left the matter of Zhen Mi's pregnancy behind him and concentrated on dealing with the Xianbei people. When the overall situation was decided and there was time to relax, Liu Xie always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something very important to him, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to put it down temporarily.

When I finally remembered it, it was a few days before the child's due date. Liu Xie hurriedly rushed back to Chang'an with Dian Wei and Guan Ping. As for the Son of Heaven's pro-army, in addition to the Xiaocai battalion that rushed to Puyang with Pang De, Pang Tong, Gao Shun and others were responsible for bringing them back to Chang'an, and Liu Xie did not need to worry about it.

rushed back to Chang'an day and night, and saw that Zhen Mi was not yet alive, and Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief. When he first learned that Zhen Mi was happy, Liu Xie happily told Zhen Mi that he must see the birth of the child, and now that the child has not been born, he is not a gaffe. As for the fact that I forgot about it in the middle, as long as I don't say it, no one will know.

The first child of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, this is a very important event for many people, and in addition to Liu Xie, many people who are waiting for news outside the delivery room also came, just to get the news as soon as possible.

In the era when there was no caesarean section, giving birth to a child was like passing through a ghost gate, and a slight carelessness could lead to two deaths. Liu Xie put off his family affairs again and again, just because he didn't want the three little girls Zhen Mi, Zhao Yu, and Buluan, who had not yet grown up, to get pregnant too early, but even if they were adults, there was a certain risk in giving birth to children, and Liu Xie was very worried.

Giving birth to a child is a kind of torment for both adults and children, and Liu Xie at this time can't wait to rush in to cheer Zhen Mi on, but don't look at him as the emperor, he wanted to enter the delivery room or was stopped. Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, these respected ministers made a move, how dare Liu Xie resist, so he had to sit patiently aside, but after sitting down for less than a moment, he got up anxiously and walked around the door of the delivery room.

After eating in the evening, there was a sign of birth, until the next day the sky turned white, with a child's loud cry, Liu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The thick cotton curtain in the delivery room was opened by Wen Po, and Liu Xie immediately greeted him, and opened his mouth to ask, "How is my daughter-in-law?" ”

Wen Po was stunned, as a well-known midwife in Chang'an, there were no less than 100 babies delivered, but it was the first time she met her husband who asked her daughter-in-law first.

"What about you? Speak! Liu Xie urged dissatisfiedly.

Wen Po, who came back to his senses, shuddered and hurriedly replied: "Congratulations to the Holy One, the mother and son are safe, and the noble son is happy." ”

Hearing that Zhen Mi was fine, Liu Xie remembered that he had a son, and looked down at the baby boy in Wenpo's arms. To be honest, the child was not good-looking at all when he was born, his little face was wrinkled, and he didn't look white and chubby. But when Liu Xie looked down at the child, as if he had a soul, the baby boy who was being held by Wen Po tried to open one eye, to be exact, one eye tried to open a slit.

Liu Xie suddenly felt a sense of responsibility, reached out and carefully held the child in his arms, as if holding a treasure, and then walked into the delivery room.

"Husband." Zhen Mi, who was lying on the bed, saw Liu Xie with a smile on her face and shouted in a weak voice.

Liu Xie took two steps, came to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said softly to Zhen Mi: "Mi'er, thank you for your hard work, you see, this is our child." ”

Zhen Mi smiled softly, reached out to take the child and held it in her arms, and asked Liu Xiedao: "Husband, what name do you plan to give the child?" ”

"Well...... Liu Xie thought for a while and said: "Although the world is undecided now, I am confident that our generation will end the troubled times, as for what the next generation should do, it should be based on literature and affairs, and help the world, why don't you call Liu Kai?" ”

……

Liu Xie has a son, the Han has an heir, and the young Liu Kai has been treated with thousands of favors as soon as he was born. However, when Kong Rong, Xu Gan and other well-educated people recommended themselves to Liu Xie and proposed to be the enlightenment teacher of the prince Liu Kai, Liu Xie politely refused. Zhen Mi was puzzled by this, Zhao Yu's courage was the biggest among Liu Xie's daughters-in-law, so she asked Liu Xie the reason.

"The younger a person is, the more seriously affected by others, Kai'er is my eldest son, if nothing else, the country of this great man will be inherited by him in the future. Kong Rong, Xu Gan and others have no problem with their knowledge, but the problem is that they are all gentlemen, and gentlemen are not good emperors. ”

"Isn't it necessary to be a villain if you are not a gentleman?" Zhao Yu asked puzzled.

"If you want to be a gentleman, then don't want to be an emperor. And what's so good about being a gentleman? Kong Rong, Xu Gan and others have excellent conduct, but if they hadn't met me, the grass on their graves would have grown so tall. ”

"Husband, are you selling melons in the princess?" Zhao Yu asked Liu Xiedao mischievously. Zhen Mi and Bu Luan, who were on the side, couldn't help but chuckle.

Liu Xie glared at Zhao Yu angrily, and said meaningfully: "It seems that I didn't work hard enough last night to make you dare to make fun of your husband." ”

Zhen Mi had a child, which made Zhao Yu and Buluan, who were also women, envious, and the two of them were envious, and Liu Xie also fell into Gentle Township. Liu Xie has had a hard time these days, but Liu Xie is willing, and it is worth it to die of exhaustion.

Hearing that Liu Xieyi was referring to something, Zhao Yu, who was all from the past, suddenly turned red, and Zhen Mi and Bu Luan also took the opportunity to make fun of Zhao Yu, which caused Zhao Yujiao to be angry.

The husband and wife laughed for a while, Zhen Mi finally comforted Zhao Yu, and then asked Liu Xiedao: "Husband, since you don't want Kai'er to be influenced by Kong Rong, Xu Gan and others, who do you plan to give the child's enlightenment?" ”

"The enlightenment of children is not a professor of what kind of university asks, can't a husband be competent?" Liu Xie asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Taught by the husband himself?" Zhao Yu exclaimed.

"What a fuss, what's wrong with me teaching? Am I not knowledgeable enough? ”

"I didn't mean that, but does my husband have time?" Zhao Yu hurriedly explained.

"Hmm...... You don't have to worry about this, although the imperial court won the foreign war this time, the losses were also not small, especially the grain and grass accumulated over the years, which was basically exhausted. Wen Ruo told me that if we want to end the war in the future without affecting people's livelihood, we need at least five to ten years of accumulation to be calm. ”

"How long is it going to take?" Zhao Yu said with some surprise.

"Huh...... Fighting a war is not just a matter of two sides pulling out their own people and dividing the winner. Just like the recovery of Yanyu and Yanyu Prefectures this time, the people's livelihood in these two states will be responsible for the imperial court, the livelihood of the people, the dispatch of officials, and the restoration of people's livelihood in various places are inseparable from the financial support of the imperial court. If the goal is simply to eliminate the princes everywhere, then I can say that I can now be sure to end the troubled times. But if you get a place, you need to govern a place, I am the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, representing the orthodoxy of the Han family, if I don't care about the life and death of the people of the Han Dynasty, then why should I call myself the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty. It's thanks to having Xun Wenruo by my side, otherwise I wouldn't have time to accompany you now. ”

"Husband, is the imperial court's finances tight now?" Zhen Mi asked.

"You don't have to worry about this, as early as before the war, the imperial court reserved that part of the materials for restoring people's livelihood, and the current imperial court just doesn't have the spare strength to support our Han army's external expeditions, and it does not affect the internal recovery of people's livelihood. Your main task now is to take care of your body and not worry about other things. ”

Enlightenment education varies from person to person, and Liu Xie does not plan to let his son Liu Kai learn at a young age, or be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although these things can also be taught, it mainly depends on Liu Kai's own interests. Those parents who sent their children to various interest classes and study groups in order to let their children earn face for themselves in later generations, Liu Xie looked down on.

The main thing when children are young is to play! A child with only cram schools and interest groups in his childhood is pitiful. The parents of those children are pathetic and hateful, the sad is that they don't care about what their children really think, and the hateful thing is that they just use their children as a tool for them to show off to outsiders.

Few parents who want their son to become a dragon are real dragons. Every child is an individual with a sense of independence, and they are neither the private property of their parents, nor the continuation of their dreams. They all have their own futures, and no one can make decisions for them.

Liu Xie didn't want Kong Rong and others to be his son's enlightenment teacher, and his explanation of Zhen Mi and others was only one aspect, and the reason he didn't say was that his son would be a candidate to inherit the throne in the future. Junzi Country is a country that cannot survive in reality, and Liu Xie, the story of Song Xianggong, does not want to be repeated in his son's body.

It is necessary to respect the teacher, but it cannot be obeyed, and every sentence is regarded as a classic. Liu Xie did not want his son to become a moral model in the future. A moral exemplar can only be admired, but it will never be envied. Everyone has the opportunity to be a moral model, but the Son of Heaven cannot do it, and once he does, the country will not be far from extinction.

……

The Son of Heaven has a queen, and there are successors to the Han Dynasty, this news shook the world, and those who have their hearts to the Han family are cheering, but those who do not have the same heart as the Han family, it is difficult to say. For example, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Cao Cao and Yuan Xi on one side.

These people aim to replace the Han family, and the better the situation of the Han family, the more difficult their life becomes. Not to mention that the revival of the Han dynasty is expected at present, and many foreign wars have ended in victory, especially the war against the Xianbei people and the Huns in Bingzhou, which has gradually returned to the Han family.

In the past, Liu Xie had no queen, and everyone still had some hope. Looking forward to Liu Xie's accident, there is no successor to the Han Dynasty, the court is vying for power and profit, and the world is in chaos again, so that those who are pressed by the Han will have the possibility of turning over. But now that the prince of the Han Dynasty has been born, at Liu Xie's age, unless he dies young, he still has decades to live. And when the prince becomes an adult, it will be impossible for the foundation of this big man to be shaken.

Some people have started to act for their own future, but how easy is it to succeed? You should be the plot of a serial, it is so easy to get close to an emperor. As early as after the birth of the prince, Chang'an entered a state of martial law, but all outsiders were not allowed to enter, even if they mixed into the city in advance, how could the well-guarded palace be accessible to ordinary people?

With Wang Yue and Tong Yuan, two martial arts masters, in the palace in person, those masters of the rivers and lakes who couldn't resist the temptation of heavy profits and came to try it had already fled. As for those ordinary rat thieves, they couldn't even enter Chang'an City, let alone enter the palace to assassinate them.
