Somehow, she suddenly remembered the death of Emperor Gao Luo Jia, who died in the Battle of Qingzhou, after defeating Emperor Gao Wei of Qi, but died at the hands of the three princes of the rebel son;

Even her father-in-law, Emperor Hongwen, was on the way back from the imperial expedition to the Southern Dynasty, and was infected with scabies and unfortunately died.

Quietly, she stroked her stomach.

"Your Majesty, are you going to go on a personal expedition again?"

Tuoba put down his rice bowl, stood up, and held her up.

The two of them sat down on the wide Taishi chair, his head lightly pressed against her stomach, and for a long time, he suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Miaolian, this child is moving...... He's moving, and I feel ......."

Every morning and evening, the child moves very much.

But now that the night was getting deeper, it was about to fall asleep, so it moved only occasionally.

"Your Majesty, if you want to take the royal conquest in person, you don't have to worry too much about me......"

Takubahiro slowly sat up straight and took her hand.

"Miao Lian, I originally wanted to take the royal expedition in person. It seems that if I don't get out of the horse, I can't legally convince Chen Xianda at all. He has already defeated several of our generals in a row, and if he continues to threaten him, our morale will be even lowered......"

She nodded gently: "I know ......"

"But I'm worried that you're alone at home. Moreover, it will not be long before the child is born......"

This is the main reason, he guards this child every day, morning and twilight, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and warmly looking forward to the arrival of the child. I never dreamed of seeing that little guy come into being.

Now, the child is about to be born, and he will drive in person, at least three or five months, or more than a year and a half, and when the time comes, even if he comes back, the child will be almost one and a half years old.

He just couldn't wait that long.

He sighed, and the tiredness on his face became even stronger: "Miao Lian, I ascended the throne at the age of six, and I have been an emperor for more than twenty years now. Everyone thinks that it is good to be an emperor, to be rich in the world, and to submit to the Quartet. However, in my opinion, being an emperor is the worst thing, and many times, I often can't help myself......"

It's like war.

No matter how annoying you are, there's no way around it.

In many cases, you will also need to go on a personal expedition and pay a huge price.

If you ignore it, the consequences are sometimes unimaginable.

If he were an ordinary person, even if it was just an ordinary ordinary man, he would not have such troubles, at least, he would not have to worry about the country being destroyed because of this, because the country is not his.

However, an emperor has to **** to worry about.

Even keeping his pregnant wife safe and waiting for childbirth has become a luxury.

At this time, he is really in a kind of battle between heaven and man, to go or not to go? For the sake of the overall situation of the war, or for the safety of his wife and son??

The fear in Feng Miaolian's heart deepened one by one.

Suddenly I wanted to blurt out "don't go, don't go" - this is what she really thinks in her heart. However, when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back alive.

She knew she couldn't say that.

As soon as he said it, it would inevitably bring him even more confusion.

She just stayed with him, for a while, slowly got up and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Your Majesty, take a sip."

He held the hot tea and looked a little dazed: "Miaolian, I don't know why, this time, I really don't want to drive the ...... in person."

She laughed, "Your Majesty, if you really don't want to go, then don't force yourself." ”

He also stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked around.

If you can't go and don't go, where will there be any troubles in this world?

Miao Lian naturally knew this truth, so her reassuring smile seemed very reluctant.

This night, neither of them fell asleep soundly, tossing and turning.

In the middle of the night, Tuoba Hong couldn't help it anymore and sat up.

Miao Lian also opened her eyes: "Your Majesty, can't you sleep?" ”

"Alas, Miao Lian, I really want to stay at home and watch the baby be born......"

Without lighting the lamp, Feng Miaolian also felt the extreme tiredness and haggard on his face. At this time, she made up her mind: "Your Majesty, you can take the expedition in person." ”

"Miao Lian, do you really want me to go?"

She shook her head, and her tone was very resolute: "Your Majesty, I don't want at all. However, I know you, if you don't go this time, the tide of the war will not be reversed, and even if you stay in the palace, you will not have peace for a day. Rather than this, it is better to fight boldly and boldly. ”

Takubahiro stared at her, adjusting to the dark eyes and seeing her surprisingly calm face.

"Miaolian, I'm leaving, what should you do with the child?"

"There are so many imperial doctors, midwives, and palace maids in the palace...... It's all there. Your Majesty, you can go out with confidence, and you don't have to worry about us. When you come back from a big victory, it is the best gift for your child. ”

In the darkness, Tuoba Hong laughed, and suddenly he had infinite courage.

"Okay, Miaolian!! I promise you that I will return victorious. Let our child be born to see the triumphant father, he will be very proud. ”

Big hands caressed her belly.

The child may have heard the laughter of his parents and rushed to join in the fun, and moved in his stomach.

Tuoba Hong clearly felt this movement, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Miaolian, the child heard...... He heard, heard us talking about him......"

Feng Miaolian also laughed.

Tuoba Hong is meaningful: "Miao Lian, since our Tuoba family entered the Central Plains, from Taizu to Emperor Gao to the Queen Mother and my father...... It can be said that several generations have been fighting for domination. However, after several decades, although we occupied Luoyang, we still had half of the country, and the small court of the Southern Dynasty still existed. If I can't put an end to this situation in my hands, perhaps, our Tuoba family, will never have the day when we will unify the world......"

From Luo Jia to Empress Dowager Feng, and then to Tuoba Hong...... Everyone has fought for this dream all their lives.

Feng Miaolian listened carefully and knew his subtext.

If the Southern Dynasty cannot be unified, then, one day, the Southern Dynasty will counterattack and completely exterminate the Xianbei people.

Somehow, as soon as she thought of this, a strange thought suddenly flashed through her heart—in a daze, like lightning.

No, he must not go to the royal expedition.

Absolutely can't go.

It's like those memories that have long been forgotten, suddenly and slowly awakened.

Like many things she had thought of before...... The great unified world, that emperor, who is the end????

It's not him Tuoba Hong!

It was a man named Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui.

If the person of the great unification is Yang Jian, then, what has Tuoba Hong experienced? ?

She almost jumped in shock.

However, the inner thoughts are messy, and they flash by in a flash, and they cannot form a clear thought for a long time.

I just want to shout out loud: "Don't go...... Don't go, don't go......"

At this time, the sound of the fifth watch sounded, dangdang, dangdang......

The eunuchs are already going to serve Tuoba Hong to get up, and he is going to the morning court.

At this time, Feng Miaolian couldn't shout anything.

She fell crooked on the bed, and her heart was suddenly very flustered, very, very frightened. In my mind, there was only one thought: I was wrong, I was very wrong, just now, I should never have encouraged Tuoba Hong to go on the expedition.

When he hesitated, he made a terrible decision for him, what fate would it bring him?

Early the next morning, Tuoba Hong convened his ministers to discuss.

Although he had already decided in his heart that he wanted to drive the expedition in person, he did not say his decision first, but just looked at the civil and military ministers in the audience.

Some of the old ministers came out to dissuade: "Your Majesty's golden body, there must be no mistakes, what is the battle situation ahead, it is changing rapidly, it is best not to drive the ...... in person."

At this time, the king of Xianyang suddenly said: "I don't think so. The emperor's brother is famous all over the world. Compared with the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, he has simply become a clown who jumps off the beam. Now Chen Xianda is wantonly arrogant in the front, and he needs the imperial brother's great martial arts and prestige to suppress his arrogance......"

Several other Xianbei ministers also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty will definitely succeed when you go out......

"We've been fighting with the Southern Dynasty for so many years, so we've been waiting for this moment......-"

"If this time the opportunity is missed, the Southern Dynasty will definitely be even more arrogant, and after that, it will be even more difficult to cross the Yangtze River and come to the city......

……

Tuoba listened to the arguments of the ministers. At this time, Taifu suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he might as well think about the long-term consideration of the matter of the imperial conquest......

King Xianyang disagreed: "The imperial brother went out on the expedition and was invincible in a hundred battles, Taifu, you are too worried......"

"The prince's words are wrong. Lao Chen is a southerner, grew up in the south, knows the climate and topography of the south, now that spring has begun, he will soon face the heat of summer, the weather is warm, the plague is also rampant, and the flood is serious, if Chen Xianda uses this to fight us, what the situation will be, it is really unpredictable. Even if Your Majesty wants to go on a personal expedition, it is better to wait until the autumn, when the grass is fat and the horses are strong, which is the time when our northern country will give full play to its advantages, and then in winter, the Yellow River will freeze, and the weather will be very cold, and the southerners will be the most intolerant of the cold, on the contrary, it will become the advantage of our northern soldiers; Attacking the enemy's weaknesses with one's own strengths is the key to victory, otherwise, it will be in vain......"

Xianyang Wang Da was impatient: "Taifu, you are growing the ambition of others and destroying your own prestige." ”

"Yes, the Southern Dynasty army really has nothing to fear, it's just a Chen Xianda......

"Your Majesty, you must give him a powerful look......"

……

Tuoba Hong stopped the argument from the crowd. He pondered for a moment before he said, "Since it is the Imperial Driver's Expedition, you must be well prepared. King Xianyang, from tomorrow onwards, you will be fully responsible for this matter. ”

King Xianyang was overjoyed, but Taifu and the others shook their heads secretly and let out a long sigh.

Tuoba Hong, he saw all this in his eyes. He also sighed to himself.
