For Yan Shao, the biggest wish at the moment is to be able to have a full house of children and grandchildren, and by the way, there are two sons or something, not to inherit the family business, at least to inherit the surname, right?

After all, Lao Yan's family is the only seedling in his generation, and if there is a change in his generation, then his branch will be extinct.

So after hearing the news of Lu Ying's pregnancy, Yan Shao was immediately ecstatic.

"Really?"

"Just now, Mrs. Lu suddenly felt a little unwell, so she came to the doctor to take a look, this news was said by the doctor, I believe there will be no mistake..."

Seeing that Yan Shao's face seemed to show a hint of urgency, the secretary hurriedly replied.

After making sure that it was correct, Yan Shao didn't pay attention to the others behind him, and just walked quickly towards the outside of the conference room. Because the door was not closed just now, the bodyguards outside the door also heard the words just now, so when Yan Shao walked out of the door, these bodyguards hurriedly congratulated them softly on the side.

If it was usual, Yan Shao would definitely give some response.

After all, Yan Shao's own character is very kind, and Yan Shao never hesitates to do those actions to buy people's hearts. Corporal Lixian, buying people's hearts, this has always been Yan Shao's consistent move.

Yan Shao definitely can't do Wang Mang's Cheng dù, after all, even if he doesn't care about anything else, killing his own son, just to show his selflessness, this Yan Shao ――――――will definitely not be able to kill his relatives in righteousness, and Yan Shao is not cold-blooded to this point.

Of course, it also depends on what kind of son it is, if it is an unfilial son. Then Yan Shao doesn't mind.

It should be noted that Yan Shao, the 'traverser' of Wang Mang, has always admired him. After all, it is not difficult for a person to be hypocritical, but what is difficult is to be unanimously praised by the whole country.

Arguably. If Wang Mang can continue like this, then Wang Mang will definitely become an unprecedented emperor, and it is even very likely that he will become the so-called 'Emperor of the Ages'.

This is not surprising, perhaps many people in later generations know that Wang Mang is the closest person to the 'traverser' in history, but few know what Wang Mang has done.

First of all, it should be noted that the Wang family is the most noble family in the Western Han Dynasty. Most of the people in the clan are generals and marquis, who live extravagantly, and compare themselves with each other. Only Wang Mang is pure. Life is simple and humble. Moreover, he was diligent and studious, and his teacher Peijun Chen Shen studied the "Analects". He served his mother and widowed sister-in-law, raised his brother's widowed son, and behaved in strict manners. He befriended the wise men externally and served his uncles internally, and was very thoughtful. Almost all of the outliers in this family became moral models at the time, so they quickly became famous.

There is such a reputation. Coupled with the family's great influence in the court, Wang Mang soon became a fairly powerful official. However, Wang Mang was in a high position at that time, but he never respected himself, and was always courteous and virtuous, honest and frugal. He often distributed his money to doormen and commoners, and even sold horse-drawn carriages to help the poor, and was deeply loved by the people. Celebrities in the government and the opposition praised and sang praises to Wang Mang. His fame even surpassed that of his powerful uncles.

Later, one of Wang Mang's uncles was seriously ill, so he recommended Wang Mang to replace the position of Great Sima. So Wang Mang succeeded his three uncles and uncles as the Great Sima, at the age of 38. After Wang Mang came to power. He was tireless in self-denial, recruited virtuous people, and used the rewards and money he received to entertain celebrities, and his life became more frugal. Once, when the ministers came to visit his mother, they saw that Wang Mang's wife was dressed very simply, and thought she was a slave of his family.

It is precisely because of Wang Mang's behavior that Wang Mang quickly gained great fame and power. And even at this time, Wang Mang still maintained the humble attitude of the past.

In order to continue to win the hearts and minds of the people, Wang Mang first suggested that he should first reward the princes and the descendants of the meritorious heroes, and then reward the incumbent officials, increase the ceremonial music of the temple, so that the common people and the widows and widows can benefit from loneliness, and implement a policy of favor to the common people, so as to win the favor of the government and the opposition again. The second is to suggest that the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun take the lead in living a frugal life, and he himself contributed millions of dollars and 30 acres of land to relieve the people, and hundreds of officials followed suit. Whenever there is a flood or drought, Wang Mang only eats vegetarian food, not wine and meat.

Later, there was a major drought in the whole country, accompanied by a locust plague, and the people of Qingzhou, who were most severely affected, went into exile. Under Wang Mang's leadership, 230 officials and citizens donated land and houses to help the victims. Taxes and taxes have been reduced in the disaster-stricken areas, and the victims have received full bereavement. The royal Huchi Court in Anding County was revoked and changed to Anmin County to resettle the victims. Even Chang'an City has built 1,000 homes for the victims. The great Situ Sizhi Chen Chongwei promoted Wang Mang, so he praised Wang Mang's merits, saying that he could be compared with the ancient saints.

In fact, this is indeed the case, because for the people at that time, Wang Mang was a virtuous and sage who could rule the country and level the world.

If this were not the case, Wang Mang would not have usurped the throne of a certain dynasty in a bloodless way, and not many people would oppose it at that time―――――― it was Wang Mang's move that made him the first case of usurpation by a certain dynasty in Chinese history.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

If things just develop here, then Wang Mang may still become a good emperor, after all, when he is here, Wang Mang can be said to be very good, not only has the support of the people and the people, but also has great prestige.

In fact, at that time, except for the Liu clan and some die-hard loyalists of the Han Dynasty, few people would oppose Wang Mang.

It's a pity that then Wang Mang became confused, and actually got a Wang Mang to restructure it.

For example, changing the official system, not only changed the name of the official position in the past, but also changed the name of Zhilu according to the ancient books, and also according to the legendary Zhou system, there were 796 fifth-class princes and 1,511 vassals, but many of them did not actually get the fief, and could only receive a few thousand dollars per month.

Then there was the change of place name, which confused many people.

In addition, the original system was changed to a system called Wangtian, but it was actually a system of the Ida system. Nationalization of land. They even banned the buying and selling of slaves and maids, intending to let them die out naturally―――――― of course. For the latter, I still have to agree with it.

All in all, Wang Mang did a lot of things that seemed to be something that only a junior traverser would do. If this were not the case, no one in the future would think that Wang Mang was actually a traverser.

But these things are slightly more idealistic than his earlier methods.

Of course, the most nonsensical thing Wang Mang has done is probably in foreign relations.

He demoted the rulers of the Xiongnu, Goguryeo, Western Regions, and Southwest Yi and other vassal states that were originally subject to the Han Dynasty from the original 'king' to 'marquis'. It also recovered and damaged the 'Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi', and instead awarded the 'New Xiongnu Shan Yu Xi'. Even the Xiongnu Shan Yu was changed to 'surrender to slaves', and Goguryeo was renamed 'Xia Guyeo'.

No matter how you look at it, these methods of his are more like a child who ascended the throne early.

But on the other hand, it seems that only a time-traveler would do such a boring thing. Especially changing Goguryeo to Haguryeo or something...

It is precisely because of his boring practices. The new dynasty he founded single-handedly became the shortest-lived dynasty in Chinese history.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

All in all, for Yan Shao, Wang Mang's failure is a lesson that must be learned.

In particular, a series of idealizations in the later period of his administration, no, more precisely, should be too naïve means of governance, and it is a lesson that Yan Shao must learn.

In fact, even at this stage, Yan Shao has experienced many similar problems.

After all, the current era is in the future. It still seems a little ignorant, and many things that are beyond common sense will still be believed by people. As for Yan Shao, he can avoid these things because of the experience from later generations.

Of course, if it goes back two or three hundred years. Perhaps some of the ideas of Yan Shao's time were also foolish, but fortunately, at least in this era. Yan Shao's experience can be used, and it can help Yan Shao avoid a lot of trouble. This also avoids the possibility of Yan Shao becoming a new Wang Mang.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As I said before, if it were replaced as usual. Maybe Yan Shao didn't mind Corporal Lixian, but now that he heard such good news, Yan Shao continued to walk outside quickly, only after walking a long distance before waving his hand behind him, and he didn't even turn his head back.

Noticing this scene, the bodyguards naturally smiled bitterly, but they didn't mind much in their hearts. After all, now that Yan Shao has encountered one of the biggest happy events in his life, in this case, he is excited, and what will happen is a matter of course, so he just followed quickly.

He was joined by Fumiko, Yan Shao's secretary, and all the cabinet ministers who had just participated in the meeting.

It's just that...

Unlike those bodyguards who sincerely wish well, the expressions of these people are somewhat...

For example, the secretary, while blessing, also had a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Yan Shao didn't guess wrong, she was indeed a 'secret agent' arranged by Caterina next to Yan Shao, and the task was very simple, that is, to know if Yan Shao usually made a 'mistake'.

If it was a different situation, maybe Yan Shao had indeed been recruited. But fortunately, Yan Shao also had a private team by his side, so he soon knew the true identity of this woman.

If it was another woman, even if it was a femme fatale, Yan Shao was not afraid.

After all, no matter how vicious a woman is, she is just a woman. It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you know and have vigilance, then even a femme fatale-hearted woman can only be played with, especially for Yan Shao.

For Yan Shao, it even takes a few fingers to throw any woman in this country into the underground secret room―――――― of course, the premise is that she must be young and beautiful, after all, Yan Shao does not lack the feeling of maternal love.

But it was precisely because this woman was sent by Caterina that she had some ideas. After all, as a member of the Secret Service, her future is almost tied to Katarina.

Therefore, now that Lu Ying is suddenly pregnant, it is difficult to say whether it will have any impact on Katarina.

As for why you're so worried...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Some deliberately fell two steps behind. Glancing at Yan Shao, who was anxiously walking forward, Fu Xiuming smiled bitterly at Jiang Baili on the side.

"This time. It's not a half-blood..."

"Yes...", he also sighed lightly, but after glancing at Fu Xiuming. Jiang Baili patted him on the shoulder. "But then again, are you still struggling with that?"

"What about it?" Fu Xiuming was stunned for a moment, but soon shook his head. "It's been a long time coming, it's just a little emotional..."

Saying this, Fu Xiuming patted Jiang Baili on the shoulder and pointed to Yan Shaodao, who had already walked far in front. "We've come so far, let's speed up two steps, lest we be left behind."

"Hmm." Nodding approvingly, Jiang Baili quickened his pace.

It should be clarified. Perhaps because of the strength of the country, many historical figures do not need to worry as much as in the original history, and because of the changes in the country and a better life, the life span of almost all historical figures has been extended to a certain extent.

For example, Yuan Shikai and Feng Guozhang, the lifespan of these two people has almost been extended considerably compared to the original history.

But this is not surprising, although there are always some people who say that people's life span is predestined, and how long you can live, God has already arranged it. But in fact, the influence of nurture is also very large.

After all, a person's living environment. The mental environment, etc., has a lot to do with lifespan.

It's like comparing a person who can't even eat three meals a day to a person who is well-nourished every day and can exercise consistently. It is definitely that the latter has a longer lifespan. What's more, there is no doubt about it. The life expectancy of a person in times of war is always shorter than that of times of peace.

Coupled with other factors such as medical care, these factors are almost all affecting a person's lifespan.

And the current state of government does not dare to say how it compares with China a hundred years from now, but at least at this stage. There are already many aspects that can be compared with foreign countries, and there are not too many disadvantages. Coupled with the stable political situation, these have greatly improved the life expectancy of the Chinese people.

Even the life expectancy of ordinary people has been greatly improved. What's more, what about people like Feng Guozhang?

What's more, in addition to ordinary circumstances, there are also some accidental deaths, such as the unlucky Cai Yi and so on.

In the same way, a longer life expectancy can also allow these historical figures to have a far better mental and physical state than in history. So in the prime of life, Jiang Baili is now proud of the spring breeze, and his physical condition is almost equivalent to that of his 30s in the original history...

In addition, he was a soldier, although Yan Shao's speed of walking forward was indeed very fast, Jiang Baili still caught up with him very easily.

On the other hand, after glancing at Jiang Baili, Fu Xiuming also followed quickly after sighing lightly, and only exchanged a look with Li Liang and the others when he walked by them.

It's just that compared with many years, this kind of look doesn't have much meaning now.

"yes, what else do you need to worry about?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Since a long time ago, many people, including Fu Xiuming, began to worry that Yan Shao, who was becoming more and more powerful, would one day move towards the imperial system. Because of this worry, Yan Shao even deliberately teased them. Especially when I entered Beijing, I deliberately sat on the dragon chair.

Naturally, Yan Shao quickly expressed his attitude afterwards, but Fu Xiuming and the others were still frightened by a certain amount of Cheng Dù.

Then, as Yan Shao's prestige in China grew, so did their worries.

Because the greater Yan Shao's prestige, the greater the obstacles he can receive if Yan Shao becomes emperor in the future. This is just like Wang Mang in history, if it weren't for Wang Mang's disguise for so many years, how could he have succeeded in usurping the throne of a certain dynasty without almost no resistance.

Even, if it weren't for his naïve old age, I'm afraid that the new dynasty would completely replace the Han Dynasty and become a new dynasty. And Wang Mang himself will become a famous 'sage' monarch in Chinese history, not a usurper of a certain dynasty, and there will be no Zhou Gong afraid of rumors, Wang Mang is humble and did not usurp such poems to the world.

Of course, because Yan Shao has never had an heir relationship, people such as Fu Xiuming quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Yan Shao really had a child, they were worried again. Fortunately, both children are daughters, and they are all mixed-race, whether it is a woman's identity or mixed-race identity, which is difficult to be recognized in a country like China, after all, China does not seem to have reached the point where it can accept a mixed-race queen.

But now it is different, although it is not clear whether Lu Ying is pregnant with a boy or a girl, but one thing is certain, that is, this child will be a pure Chinese...

If this child is still a boy, then I am afraid that there will be something that Fu Xiuming and they have been worried about in the past.

It's just that...

What's the use of worrying?

With Yan Shao's prestige, even if he really becomes emperor, I'm afraid no one will object. This is also the reason why Fu Xiuming sighed lightly in the end, since the opposition is invalid, then why bother yourself?

It's just that as they walked forward, no one seemed to notice Fumiko's expression. (To be continued......)
