In the blink of an eye, a year passed, and in January 299 AD, there were bursts of newborn cries in the courtyard of Hanshou Mansion in Luoyang, the capital. It turned out to be Jia Mi's biological mother, Jia Wu's labor date.

And no one expected that with the croaking of a small life, if it weren't for Sima Shu's internal core, I am afraid that a period of war and division in Chinese history that lasted for nearly 300 years would have quietly kicked off.

Under the eaves of the corridor in the courtyard, several maids stood like clay sculptures, expressionless and silent. I heard the midwife say in the house: "Say hello to the lady, I gave birth to a son!" ”

The girls looked at each other with joy when they heard this, and now everyone was rewarded.

The midwife wrapped the newborn and handed it to Jia Wu's pillow: "Congratulations to Madam, your son's cry is loud, and there will be a blessing of dragons and phoenixes in the future." ”

Jia Wu replied while stroking the child: "Then it needs to be said." This is my great nobleman, and he may be able to be the emperor in the future. ”

The midwife was shocked when she heard this, the copper basin in her hand fell to the ground, and the baby cried.

"Be light!"

The midwife replied with trepidation: "Yes, yes......"

Jia Wu asked a little weakly, "Is Jia An here?" ”

Jia An promised outside: "The little one is here." ”

"Take my mother-in-law to the East Courtyard to rest, and I want to be entertained."

Jia An answered outside: "Yes". The midwife hurriedly wiped her hands and said goodbye and went out.

Jia Wu had the opportunity to take a closer look at the newborn child, and remembered the plan with his sister, and couldn't help but feel excited: "Oh, oh, little baby, it's not that my mother is ruthless and doesn't want you, my mother wants to give you the whole world, so that you can be the most noble and richest man in the world...... After a while, your brother will take you into the palace when he comes, and you have to listen to your aunt...... Got it? As she spoke, Empress Jia gently kissed the baby's cheek.

In the Lu Gongfu, Jia Mi was setting up chess games on the table when his wife Yang (a member of the Hongnong Yang family) walked in.

Yang said softly: "What is the husband doing? ”

Jia Mi waved his hand and said: "Madam is here, yesterday I gambled a game of chess with Lu Ji in Jinguyuan, and I didn't want to lose in the middle of the game. The lady also helped her husband to see. Yang sat beside Jia Mi, looking at the chessboard with his cheeks up, and couldn't help but be in a daze.

"You see, here he eats three sons for his husband, and here he eats seven sons for his husband, and he thought he took advantage of it, but he has been defeated ever since......"

Just as Jia Mi and his wife were enjoying the pleasure of the boudoir, a maid shouted outside the door: "Master, master, Mrs. Han sent someone to invite the master over!" ”

"Madame, come when you go for your husband."

When Jia Mi heard her mother's call, she didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly freshened up, and got into the carriage to go to Hanfu.

Jia Mi came to the Han Mansion and hurried through the courtyards, just as he met Jia An's midwife.

Jia An hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Lu Guogong is good!" ”

Jia Mi secretly glanced at him, then ignored the midwife and walked straight forward.

Here, Jia An took the midwife to another courtyard, and at this time, there were already several house slaves hiding with sticks behind the moon gate in this courtyard, peeking out. When Jia An led the midwife in, everyone whispered: "Here, the midwife is here!" Hide it, everyone! ”

Everyone hid on both sides of the door. After a while, Jia An led the midwife into the courtyard, and before she could see the human face, the house slave stepped forward and beat the midwife on the head with a stick, killing her on the spot.

Jia An covered her nose in disgust and ordered, "You dragged her to the back garden and buried her." ”

The house slaves agreed and dragged the midwives away. Seeing that there was no one around, Jia An immediately turned to leave. Jia Wu and the baby were sleeping and resting together, and Jia Mi walked in with a smile on her face.

Jia Mi called softly, "Mother, mother...... Yo! I'll look at my brother! Immediately, Jia Mi stepped forward and picked up the baby next to Jia Wu, teasing, "Hey, it's really like me!" At this time, Jia Wu also woke up.

Jia Wu looked at his two sons and said angrily: "Mi'er, put him down quickly, don't let the cool air shush." ”

Jia Mi's face was full of pride: "Mother, don't worry, no, can you name your brother?" ”

Jia Wu: "No. I want to wait for your father to come back and get him up. ”

Jia Mi frowned and said, "Where did the master go?" ”

Jia Wu explained: "I called Ji Shao's family away early yesterday morning, saying that today is Ji Shao's birthday, and I invite relatives and friends to come over for a gathering, and I am afraid that I will be able to come back in the evening." ”

Jia Mi pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, in that case, the child has a good name, just call it Comfort Ancestor, how about it?" It means to comfort the spirits of the ancestors in heaven. ”

Jia Wu didn't care: "Well, it's a good name." But whatever, you'll have to wait for your father to come back, by the way, are all the things ready? ”

Jia Mi gave a reassuring look: "It's all ready, the child plans to hide him in a food box and bring him into the palace, and only let Jia An and one person follow, absolutely secret." ”

Jia Wu was overjoyed: "Okay, come, let me hug him for a while, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to hug him again in the future." ”

Saying that, Jia Wu almost cried, no matter what, this is also his own son, and he will become someone else's in the future, although this person is his sister, Jia Wu still feels a little sad.

Jia Mi couldn't help but persuade: "Mother, don't be sad, isn't it good to let your younger brother be the prince?" ”

Jia Wu reluctantly showed a smile: "It's good, but he will never recognize me as his mother in the future......"

Jia Mi smiled: "Look at what you said, my aunt is his mother, and she is not the same as you?" My aunt doesn't have any children, so she doesn't know how to love her ancestors, so don't worry. ”

At this moment, Jia An shouted outside: "Madam, Duke Lu, the little one is here!" With that, he walked in with a food box and closed the door casually.

Jia An knelt on the ground: "Madam, Duke Lu, the old slaves are all ready." As he spoke, he opened the food box and saw a thick futon inside.

Jia Mi took the food box and said to Jia Wu: "Mother, let go, I'll take my younger brother into the palace." Jia Mi hugged the child and carefully put it into the food box.

Jia Wu frowned and looked at Jia Mi's clumsy appearance, and reprimanded: "Mi'er, be careful, don't suffocate your brother." ”

Jia Mi comforted: "Although the mother is relieved, the child is thinking about it." Mother, we're leaving. ”

Jia Mi waited for the food box to enter the door and walked into the palace, Jia Nanfeng was overjoyed when he saw this, and greeted him with a 'big belly'.

"You're here!"

"Auntie."

"Little one meets the queen mother."

Jia Nanfeng didn't care about Jia Mi and the two, but asked anxiously, "Where is the child?" Let's take a look at Hongu! ”

Jia An opened the food box, took the baby out and handed it over, and Jia Mi handed it to Queen Jia: "Niangniang, please see, this is my brother." ”

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Jia Mi: "What brother?" It's the crown prince of the main palace! ”

Jia Mi said repeatedly: "Yes"

Jia Nanfeng held the baby in his arms and liked it very much, "You see that he really looks like this palace, almost carved out of a mold!" ”

Empress Jia's henchman eunuch Dong Meng took the opportunity to bow to the ground: "Congratulations to Niangniang!" Congratulations to the mother! ”

Jia Nanfeng laughed proudly: "Ha! My son! My dear son! Let the mother kiss her. ”

Empress Jia kissed and kissed the baby, but the baby cried, she gently patted the child's back, "Yo, what's the matter, scared?" Don't be afraid, you have the final say here, and you will give you whatever you want. Where's the nurse? ”

The nurse walked in: "The concubine is here." ”

Jia Nanfeng handed the baby to the wet nurse and instructed, "Feed him quickly." Oh, my son doesn't cry, my son doesn't cry. Harm, why is this palace so awkward, it turns out that these stupid things are still tied to the body, and they are not picked up by this palace? The palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to remove the stuffing from her belly.

"Dong Meng, you take Jia An down to rest and reward him with a thousand yuan."

"Thank you, mother." Dong Meng withdrew with Jia An.

At this time, there were only two aunts and nephews left in the hall, and Jia Mi said with a gloomy face: "Auntie, this new prince is here, the original one ......"

Jia Nanfeng looked out the window and sneered: "Mi'er, don't worry, you have to eat one bite at a time, don't you?" Hum! ”

It didn't take long for the news to come out of the capital: the queen gave birth and gave birth to a boy; However, Lu Gong's mother gave birth to a baby girl at almost the same time on the same day, and it is said that she died shortly after birth.

As a result, all kinds of speculation about the origin of the new prince did not go away, and it became the most discussed topic after the dinner.

And all the street talk almost came down to a consensus in the end, that is: the current crown prince has obviously become superfluous, and it is only a matter of time before the queen deposes him.

Sure enough, soon after, Empress Jia issued an order to summon the prince who was far away in Chang'an to return to Beijing.

Chang'an City

Sima Shu summoned his confidants Zhang Bin, Zu Ti, Jiang Tong, Du Xi, Li Te, and others to the mansion to discuss the matter of returning to Beijing. He first passed on the will of the imperial court to everyone, and then waited for everyone to speak.

Don't look at Zhang Bin's shortest time to join, but in just one year, he won the trust of everyone with his own talent and became the first strategist under the prince, so everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Bin after reading it.

Zhang Bin also lived up to expectations, he pondered for a moment and said: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming!" ”

"What do you mean, sir? Could it be that the queen wants to be unfavorable to Her Highness? Zu Ti asked.

"The minister heard that the queen gave birth to a son not long ago, and now it seems that the queen has made up her mind, as for the wedding for His Royal Highness, it is just an excuse to summon His Royal Highness back to Beijing." Zhang Bin continued.

"Your Highness, since the queen is uneasy and kind, what ...... Then Your Highness will not go back......"

"Not going back? How is this possible? Empress Jia's excuse is above board, she completely makes it Yangmou, and Lone has no reason to refuse. Sima Shu said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness is right, what we want to discuss at the moment is not whether to return to the capital, but how to ensure the safety of His Highness after going back and seize the throne is the most important thing." Zhang Bin's eyes lit up, but he was eager to try, because he knew that this would be the prince's chance to ascend to the supreme position.

"The ministers are willing to follow His Highness back to Beijing and swear to protect His Highness's safety!"

"Good! No matter what kind of Longtan tiger's den is in the capital, Lone has to go to it! ”
