Chapter 372: There is a successor

After talking about religious matters, Qin Dong then appointed another person to take over the position of the new mayor of Constantinople, this person is Pete, a fat pig merchant who is good at sycophancy, he has been canonized as a baron by Qin Dongfei to Enek earlier, and he is fully responsible for the affairs of the city hall of Constantinople.

This candidate was recommended by Charlie Cao, only this person was the most cooperative during this time, although this person's personality was a little despicable, but Qin Dong needed this kind of person to govern Constantinople, Pete took the post of mayor of Constantinople, if the governance is not good, the citizens will only blame this person, and will not be hostile to the Hun Empire, and Qin Dong can change someone to take over the position of mayor. Pete's role was actually to act as a buffer between the citizens of Constantinople and the rulers of the Huns, which was a municipal matter.

Militarily, although a truce had been signed between the Xiongnu Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, the army could not be withdrawn in a short period of time.

After the armistice treaty between the two sides was signed, the Sea of Marmara was divided into two, and the warships of the Eastern Empire were not allowed to enter the waters of the Xiongnu Empire, and the warships of the Hun Empire were not allowed to enter the waters of the Eastern Roman Empire, otherwise it would be equivalent to aggression. As the military commander of Constantinople, he was not only in charge of infantry and cavalry, but also in charge of the coastal defense of Thracian province and Constantinople.

After arranging a qiē affair, Qin Dong left Constantinople with his guards the next morning. Depart for Sedeca.

Qin Dong, who had just returned to Saidika, just in time for Martha to give birth, Martha's belly was very big, and she seemed to have some difficult births during childbirth. This made Qin Dong, who kept walking back and forth at the door of the delivery room, anxious.

The entire Saidika knew that the lady regent was going to give birth, and the attention of the whole city was attracted, and outside the delivery room, in addition to Qin Dong, there were many officials, guards, and maids.

"The king, it's not good, the princess has a difficult birth, according to the experience of the old woman. It is likely that the princess has two children in her belly! The midwife came out and said to Qin Dong with an anxious expression.

Qin Dong exclaimed, "What? Have two kids? Twins? Are you sure? ”

"Yes, my lord, the old woman is very sure. However, now that there is a child at the birth canal, it is not easy to give birth, and it is dangerous for the mother and child to be harmed. The old woman is worried that her craftsmanship is not good! ”

Qin Dong hurriedly said: "You must ensure the safety of the mother and son." Let the princess give birth to the child safely, as long as you do it, this king will ensure that your family will be rich for a lifetime! Otherwise, if something happens to the princess, mother and son, this king wants to kill your whole family, do you understand? ”

"Yes, yes, the old woman will do her best!" After the midwife finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and went into the delivery room.

Qin Dong was waiting left and right at the door of the delivery room, and he kept hearing Martha's heart-rending cry from the delivery room. The other officials, guards, and maids also looked anxiously at the door of the delivery room, and some of them kept stomping their feet to show their impatience.

Qin Dong suddenly remembered, didn't Charlie Cao understand Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine in this era is much better than Western medicine, and Qin Dong also found that Charlie Cao's medical skills are indeed very good before, and the patients who have been treated by him are basically not bad, and I don't know if the old guy can let Martha give birth smoothly, thinking of this, Qin Dong immediately shouted: "Quickly find Cao Guoshi, just say that the princess has a difficult birth, go quickly!" ”

"Yes, King!" The head of the guard, Qi Muge, agreed, and immediately arranged for a guard to ride a horse to find Charlie Cao.

Charlie Cao didn't dare to slack off after knowing this, and within ten minutes, he rushed over with his apprentice carrying a medicine box on his back, and saluted when he saw Qin Dong: "See the king!" ”

Qin Dong said anxiously: "Don't come to the void, you now hurry up and find a way to alleviate the pain of the princess for this king, so that she can give birth smoothly!" ”

Charlie Cao wiped a handful of sweat and hurriedly said: "King, Weichen knows, but Weichen is a man after all, there is a difference between men and women, and it is inconvenient for Weichen to enter the delivery room at this time!" ”

Qin Dong said impatiently: "I'll rub, when is it now, human life is at stake, I can't care so much, you are now a doctor, a doctor!" Got it? ”

Charlie Cao hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and pushed the door into the delivery room, in fact, he was very worried that Qin Dong had no choice now, once the matter passed, Qin Dong remembered this matter, and he would mind, what should he do when the time comes to settle accounts after the autumn? In the end, Charlie Cao is also not worried that Qin Dong will not speak, after all, not everyone can tolerate his wife being seen by other people's men when she gives birth to a child, and he finally goes in because he has no choice, if he doesn't go in now, in case there is any accident between Martha and the child in the womb, Qin Dong will definitely put this account on his head, and he will die immediately, between dying first and dying later, of course he has to choose to die later.

After Charlie Cao entered, Martha's scream was obviously much quieter, and after a quarter of an hour, she walked out sweating profusely with the medicine box on her back, Qin Dong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How is it?" ”

Charlie Cao bowed and said: "King, Xiaguan gave the princess a few stitches to alleviate some of her pain, and it can also soothe her tense body and expand the birth canal, Xiaguan has done his best, whether the princess can give birth depends on the will of God, in addition, Xiaguan just gave the princess a pulse, the princess's pulse is a little messy, the following official estimates are good, the princess should be pregnant with more than one child!" ”

Qin Dong grabbed Charlie Cao's shirt and said, "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes, King!"

"Good, good, you must go along with the production!" Qin Dong rubbed his hands and kept walking back and forth, with words in his mouth.

Outside the delivery room, a group of people spent more than half an hour anxiously in torment, and finally a loud baby cry came from inside the delivery room.

"Ah, it's born, the princess is born, listen, it's a child's voice!" A maid screamed excitedly.

A large group of people quickly rushed to the door of the delivery room, Qin Dong stood at the door, looking anxiously and looking through the crack in the door, but at this time the door opened, only to see the midwife wrapping a bloody baby with a cloth and walking out sweating profusely and said, "Wang, it's a girl!" ”

Qin Dong was stunned, then quickly came back to his senses, and said happily: "Okay, good, good girl, hahaha, it's called Zhixin!" Come on, take Zhixin down, and find a woman with plenty of milk to breastfeed her! ”

"Yes, King!" A maid stepped forward and carried the baby up.

"King, it looks like the princess has another one in her belly, and the old woman is about to go in!" The midwife wiped her sweat again and said a little tiredly.

Qin Dong hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you go quickly, what this king said must count, as long as the princess and the three mothers and sons are commoners, this king will ensure that your whole family is rich and noble!" ”

Hearing this, the midwife instantly looked like she had been beaten with chicken blood, her face became ruddy, and her spirit was much more restored, she thanked her again and then turned around and walked into the delivery room.

This time, only after a cup of tea, Qin Dong and the others heard the baby's cry in the delivery room again, and this time the baby's cry was even louder.

After a while, a maid appeared at the door of the delivery room with a baby in her arms and said with a smile: "King, this is a boy, how strong do you think he is?" ”

"With a handle?" Qin Dong was stunned, and then said with great joy: "Okay, it's good to bring the handle, hahaha, great, Lao Tzu has a son!" ”

Soon, after Qin Dong was overjoyed, Martha sounded, and hurriedly asked, "How is the princess?" ”

At this time, the midwife came out and said, "The princess is fine, but she has lost too much blood and passed out!" ”

"Lao Cao!" Qin Dong immediately pulled out Charlie Cao behind him and said, "Old Cao, you come in with me to show the princess, and the others stay outside first!" As he spoke, he took the baby boy from the maid's hand and walked into the delivery room.

Everyone else outside shouted; "Yes, King!"

Charlie Cao informed Qin Dong of the situation after diagnosing Martha, Martha's body was relatively weak due to excessive blood loss during childbirth, and now she is too weak and tired, so she is in a coma. He prescribed a prescription, took some medicines from the medicine box, and wrapped them together into a packet and gave them to Martha's maid, asking her to decoct the medicine to replenish Martha's body.

After coming out of the room, Charlie Cao said: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, now that the queen has a successor, the king should hurry up and choose a name for His Royal Highness the little prince!" ”

When the other officials heard this, they all agreed: "Yes, king, let's hurry up and choose a name for the little prince!" ”

Qin Dong nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I hope that when he grows up, he can inherit the will of this king and continue to fight the world, so he wants Qin Zheng!" ”

"Okay, that's a good name!" Charlie Cao nodded in praise, and the other officials also said yes in unison, and there were many flatterers.

That night, Martha woke up, Qin Dong sat on the edge of her bed and saw her open her eyes, and hurriedly said, "Martha, are you awake?" How does it feel? ”

Martha rolled her eyes, remembered the child, and said weakly, "Child, what about my child?" ”

"Here we are!" Qin Dong comforted, took the two children from the maid's hands and handed them over to Martha, "Look, this is my sister, called Zhixin, this is my younger brother, called Qin Zheng, my sister Zhixin looks like you, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and my younger brother Qin Zheng looks like me, with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin!" ”

Martha looked at the siblings separately and was amazed by their looks and physical features, "The Creator is amazing! ”

The next morning, Dadan Yu Enek sent a eunuch to read out the edict, which was to canonize Zhixin as a princess and Qin Zheng as a prince. Enek also knew that in a few years, after Qin Dong unified the Xiongnu Empire, he would announce his abdication and let Qin Dong officially ascend the throne as king, these two children will be princesses and princes sooner or later, rather than Qin Dong canonized at that time, it is better for him to canonize and sell it to Qin Dong now, everyone is safe, he just wants to calmly transfer Shan Yu's position to Qin Dong, and then go to be a herdsman himself, and not let Qin Dong be suspicious of him is the thing he needs to pay attention to!
