There will be unrest, and there may be deaths, but none of that matters.

"Being convicted and dying shows that they are guilty themselves, and there is nothing wrong with punishing the guilty."

Cao Cao said slowly: "And now that the Han clan has no real power, it is impossible to launch any threatening turmoil, if you really want to start a turmoil, it is just to make a statement and increase the possibility of being killed, what I am worried about is not here." ”

"Oh?"

Yan Wen said in a low voice, "What is Meng De worried about? ”

"What I'm worried about is that the number of relatives of the Han family is too small, which makes it difficult for the royal family to get guards."

Cao Cao looked at Yan Wen and said: "Listening to the meaning of the Son of Heaven, it seems that he does not plan to choose someone among the existing relatives to be crowned king and marquis, if all the existing Liu family princes and princes are sent away, the power of the clan will be greatly weakened, and it may take time for His Majesty's own clan power to develop and grow." ”

"You're worried about this?"

Yan Wen was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was not a particularly strange thing, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, since Your Majesty has made such a decision, you must have an idea, and not to mention anything else, Your Majesty has ten sons, and you don't have to worry too much if you are quite healthy now." ”

What Yan Wen said is indeed the truth, so Cao Cao thought about it and felt that he was indeed a little worried, Liu Bei In addition to Liu Shen and Liu Ze, the pair of brothers, Liu Bei also has five sons who are over five years old, and seven sons who are over five years old, no matter how unlucky they are, they won't all have all seven sons, right?

But if you really want to talk about it, the death rate of children is still very high in these years.

Although the family had the money, could afford the best doctors, and could afford the most expensive medicinal materials, Cao Cao himself had already lost two sons and a daughter, both of whom died when he was young, which once made Cao Cao very sad.

But Liu Bei's side is very lucky, ten sons and eight daughters, all of them are alive and kicking up and down until now, and none of them have died, which makes many officials in the DPRK and China amazed, thinking that this is one of the manifestations of Liu Bei's destiny.

At present, in addition to Queen Han Ning, there are three nobles who are also pregnant, which means that four children are still growing up in their mother's womb, and in the next year, Liu Bei will have four children born.

That adds up to twenty-two.

It can be seen that Liu Bei's fertility is leveraged, and with such a strong fertility, there is really no need to worry that the number of royal families in the future will not be enough, and no one will defend the royal family.

So neither Cao Cao nor Yan Wen continued to talk about this matter.

It is also true that if Liu Bei wants to make a very important change to the old imperial system, he must have enough royal children to defend him, otherwise, it will be difficult for his subordinates to believe that he can smoothly inherit his status and power.

If Liu Bei's status and power cannot be passed on smoothly, how can they, who are courtiers, ensure that their status and power can be guaranteed?

What if one day Liu Bei's descendants are extinct, and no one can be the emperor, so the Second Han Empire is restored again?

Then they, the heroes of the Third Reich, will become rebels and will be purged by that time.

Therefore, if Liu Bei does not have strong fertility and enough heirs, the courtiers will be very worried about their future, and they may not be able to resolutely support everything he needs to accomplish.

It can only be said that Liu Bei's strong fertility has brought everyone a certain amount of confidence.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei's actions against the old clan are due to various reasons, among which the strength of his fertility and the increasing number of offspring are also one of his confidences.

The eldest son Liu Shen and the second son Liu Ze were both born in the sixth year of Guanghe, and now the two brothers are eleven years old, and they can basically enter the juvenile level of the school for further study.

These were his first two sons.

Later, due to the transfer of work, Han Ning and Han Xiaodie were pregnant with their second child after a while, Han Ning gave birth to the third son Liu Han, and Han Xiaodie gave birth to the eldest daughter Liu Wan, both of whom were eight years old.

Later, Liu Bei married many concubines, and in a year, the concubines became pregnant and gave birth to three daughters and a son.

Gong Qin gave birth to the second daughter Liu Miao, Gong Ling gave birth to the third daughter Liu He, Gai Ning gave birth to the fourth son Liu Tao, and Cao Hui gave birth to the fourth daughter Liu Yue, all four children are seven years old this year.

After that, it was around the time when Liu Bei and Yuan Kui and He Jin started a decisive battle, and Liu Bei did not have time to get along with his wives and concubines, until Liu Hong died of illness and Liu Bei was promoted to general and grasped real power, so he got the time to continue to have intimate contact with his wives and concubines.

At that time, the wives and concubines successfully became pregnant and gave birth to children one after another.

Han Ning and Han Xiaodie gave birth to a daughter and a son again, Liu Bei's fifth daughter Liu Yu and Liu Hong's fifth son Liu Hong were born successively, followed by Yan Lu, Xiahou Han and Zhen Qing, who were not pregnant before, also gave birth to heirs because of Liu Bei's key care.

Yan Lu and Xiahou Han gave birth to Liu Bei's sixth son, Liu Mu, and Liu Qing, the seventh son, and Zhen Qing gave birth to Liu Bei's sixth daughter, Liu Ying.

These five children are close to the time of their mother's pregnancy, so the time of birth is also relatively close, and they are all five years old now.

So at present, Liu Bei, whose name is included in the family tree, has a total of seven sons and six daughters.

Because of the short life expectancy and high mortality rate, people in these years rarely name their children before the age of five, and they are not included in the family tree, and within the family, such children are not considered a complete person.

It was not until after the age of five, seeing that the survival rate had greatly improved, that the name was given and included in the family tree, and it was officially recognized as a clan, which was equivalent to obtaining human rights.

So at present, among Liu Bei's heirs, only thirteen have obtained human rights.

For a period of time after that, although Liu Bei did not accept more women into the palace, considering the importance of the heir, he also kept working hard and did not stop "paying".

At the same time, considering the importance of the health of his wives and concubines, Liu Bei actively persuaded his wives and concubines to exercise, increase their intake of protein and vitamins, and personally formulated healthy eating habits for their wives and concubines, and also formulated healthy living habits.

Including try not to drink, never stay up late to sleep, get up early as much as possible, develop a good life and rest, and soak your feet in hot water before going to bed, and insist on playing a set of Baduanjin and the like every day - this set of kung fu Liu Bei will do it in his last life, and he will insist on practicing it in this life.

Since he didn't go to the battlefield much, Liu Bei insisted on fighting every day, and he didn't spend much time every day, but insisting on fighting every day, in the long run, it was good for his body.

Liu Bei, like them, fried food and the like, will only eat it during the New Year's holidays, occasionally eat, never eat often, eat seven or eight minutes full, chew and swallow slowly, no matter how hungry you are, you are not allowed to gobble it up.

Because of Liu Bei's supervision, healthy living habits and exercise habits of sweating every day were adhered to by the wives and concubines, the wives and concubines are in good health, rarely get sick, and occasionally get sick can be cured quickly, even Cao Hui, who was the most delicate before marrying Liu Bei, has been visibly better in recent years.

This is true of wives and concubines, and so are children.

In addition to letting them study hard, Liu Bei will also ask them to develop healthy living habits, such as ensuring adequate sleep, insisting on playing Baduanjin every day, and doing some strength training.

In terms of diet, children like sweets and fried foods, but Liu Bei also strictly restricts their consumption of sweets and fried foods.

In addition to the staple food, they are required to eat more meat, vegetables and fruits, and sweets and fried foods are only allowed to be eaten during festivals or birthdays, and they are basically not served on weekdays.

Although he is busy with official duties, Liu Bei will instruct the people they take care of, supervise them to complete their daily exercises, supervise them to maintain healthy living habits, and report anything to him in time.

If a family member violates his established healthy habits, he will be angry and will punish the family.

Under his insistence, the physical fitness of the family is very good, and even the mother, who has always been frail, has become better because of good living habits and good nutritional supplements.

In this era of lack of medical ability, physical fitness is the most important line of defense against diseases, and there are still many things that doctors in this era cannot do.

And your own immunity is too important.

Liu Bei has a deep understanding of this, and he does not expect that with his own efforts and support, he can make a qualitative leap in Dahan's medical level in a short period of time, he can only rely on himself and rely on the body's own immunity.

It can be regarded as the emperor who lives up to his hard work, and his efforts have still achieved good results.

The two sisters, Gong Qin and Gong Ling, were already in good physical condition, and after living according to his requirements for several years, they were in good health, rarely got sick, and had a strong recovery ability.

In the second year of Jian'an, Gong Qin and Gong Ling joined forces to attack again, and became pregnant successively, and in the third year of Jian'an, Liu Bei successfully gave birth to the eighth son and the ninth son, and recovered quickly after giving birth.

Indeed, the two girls are in good physical condition.

As for the eighth son and the ninth son of the Shu because they are only three years old at the moment, they are not included in the family tree, and there is no big name, only a small name, Liu Bei named the eighth son of the Shu Xiaoqiang, and the ninth son of the Shu named Xiao Ming.

He didn't know why, so he suddenly wanted to take a nickname like this.

Zhen Qing's body was not very good, but she followed Liu Bei's advice, began to exercise from the first year of Jian'an, strengthened her physique, and successfully became pregnant in Jian'an three years, and Jian'an gave birth to ten sons for Liu Bei in four years, because she was only more than two years old, so she only had a nickname, called Xiaogang.

Also in the fourth year of Jian'an, Xiahou Han and Cao Hui became pregnant one after another, and in the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei gave birth to the seventh daughter and the eighth daughter of Liu Bei before he became emperor, Liu Bei was very happy, and gave them the nicknames Xiaohong and Xiaohua.

In the two months after Liu Bei became emperor in the fifth year of Jian'an, he was also working hard, so at the end of the fifth year of Jian'an and the beginning of the first year of Zhenguan, Han Ning, Han Xiaodie and Yan Lu were also pregnant again, and they are still pregnant.

Liu Bei was very busy in the first few months of Zhenguan's first year, and in April, Liu Bei took some time to focus on the inner palace, comforting the wives who had not received his full attention for several months, and being an old scalper who worked hard for a while.

So at the end of April, Xiahou Han became pregnant again.

It means that Liu Bei currently has five children who have not been included in the family tree, a total of ten sons and eight daughters, and if you count the four children who are still conceived in the mother's womb, he already has twenty-two children.

Because he is in Luoyang, even if he has a lot of official duties, Liu Bei will take time out to accompany his family as much as possible and comfort the women and children as much as possible, so in general, his harem is relatively harmonious, and there are basically no twists and turns.

Everyone also abides by Liu Bei's rules - the harem does not interfere in politics, and Liu Bei will hardly talk to them about the government affairs of the previous dynasty, no matter how busy and troublesome he is, he will not bring these things and emotions to the harem.

In addition, Liu Bei did not restrict his wives and concubines from returning to their parents' homes to meet their parents and relatives.

As long as they miss their families, Liu Bei will arrange for the Praetorian Guards to send someone to protect them to return home to visit relatives, or arrange for their families to come to Luoyang to live and reunite their families, usually for a month, so that they can relieve the pain of homesickness.

On this basis, Liu Bei practiced and used his sturdy body as a medium of communication, and was able to grasp the entire harem well.

Then he fully realized that human beings have limits, no matter how many women there are in the harem, there is only one emperor, even if he is as beautiful as those famous kings who can write poems, he can only stare dryly.

No matter how great a king is, he is also a mortal in the flesh, and he will not rise mechanically, and no matter how much he shows his strength, he will inevitably end up with a joke of "there are those who cannot be seen, thirty-six years", and become the laughing stock of the world in vain.

Liu Bei really didn't have much interest in that kind of thing.

And in this matter, of course, he also has a bit of a problem of liking the new and hating the old, but with the growth of age and experience, a new feeling of "clothes are not as good as newcomers and not as good as the old" gradually replaced the previous feeling.

He began to feel that the newcomer is good, but he is not as intimate as the old man, and the understanding of the women who have followed him for a long time is incomparable to the newcomer.

And Liu Bei is busy with official business, getting older, unlike when he was young, he had so much energy and patience to run in with newcomers, without running-in, that is, pure interest connection and physical connection, that feeling is the most indifferent, and it can be abandoned at any time.

With such people and relationships, Liu Bei didn't want to stay in his home.

Therefore, he is still very glad that he has improved his understanding of each other with these women now when he is young, energetic and patient, and I am afraid that such a thing will be difficult to happen again in the future.

He's pretty content right now.
