Chapter 300: Ruizhang Liangyao
At the end of the year, Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, finally couldn't resist the pressure and agreed to marry.
It's just that the emperor once said that he would return to Bohai County after he got married, so although he was over 20 years old, he still refused to get married.
is just to be able to stay in the capital for a few more years, anyway, he has a lot of concubines and singers, and there is no shortage of people around him.
Happy to be at ease, why bother with a family girl to control yourself.
Now Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, has already had both children and daughters, and it is said that the husband and wife have a very good relationship, and the two are very affectionate, and they are also very filial to their mother, Mrs. Ma.
Liu Shuo is an old man and respectful, and he has governed Pingyuan County very well, and now it is also prosperous, rich and stable.
Speaking of which, they are two brothers with the same father and mother, how can their personalities be very different, they are very different, when Liu Kui is mentioned, Liu Zhi has a headache, this product is simply too worry-free.
All day long, he set up eagles to drive dogs, gambled and was lustful, and mingled with a group of gentlemen, Hu Tianhai.
Knowing that he was not treated well by the emperor, Liu Kui also avoided him everywhere, and the two rarely met each other all year round.
It was still some time ago that Zongzhengfu reported that he wanted to give Liu Kui a crowning ceremony, and Liu Zhi remembered that this product had always been in the capital.
Because it was a crown gift, Liu Zhi didn't say it right away, and he also rewarded a lot of gifts, how to say that it was also his own brother.
Originally, he planned to give face to participate in person, but who knew that as soon as the Empress Dowager Yun asked, Liu Kui's head shook like a rattle.
"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, so don't bother with these little things of the minister."
It is estimated that Liu Kuiruo knew that he had attracted His Majesty's attention because of the crown ceremony, and he hated that he had to hold it.
Sure enough, after his crown ceremony, Liu Zhi reminded the Queen Mother that the King of Bohai was already an adult, and rumors would spread outside if he didn't marry again, and he thought that his brother had treated his younger brother badly.
Since five years ago, the Empress Dowager Yun has been worried about Liu Kui's family affairs, and Mrs. Ma has frequently written to her to care.
However, the parties themselves are not active, no matter who agrees, so they drag it out again and again, and they become the older leftover men of the big man.
This time Liu Zhi spoke, and Liu Kui knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only reluctantly nod and agree, but he put forward a bunch of conditions.
What looks like a fairy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can sing and dance, and is knowledgeable and interesting...... Wait, the Empress Dowager Yun made a mistake when she heard it, according to this condition, she is even harsher than Concubine Liu Zhixuan.
Moreover, why are these conditions put together, it sounds so strange, and it feels like all of them are met, it can only be an Oiran, which daughter of a family would be so frivolous.
When I think about the time when the king of the plains was discussing his relatives, there were two conditions, virtuous, filial piety, marrying a wife should be virtuous, and getting a bewitching woman back is nothing.
As soon as Liu Zhi heard it, he knew that this guy deliberately had a problem and wanted to get by, look, it's not that I don't want to marry a wife, it's that you can't find a suitable candidate, right.
"Mother just told him that I would give him three months, and if he still couldn't find the woman he liked, he would marry him directly."
Liu Zhicai didn't accept him, and directly issued an ultimatum, blocking Liu Kui's retreat.
There are many families in the capital, but Liu Kui has a bad reputation, and most of the people who are willing to marry him are small families, and the Empress Dowager Yun is afraid of wronging him.
After coming and going, it was indeed difficult to find a suitable candidate, and the Empress Dowager Yun even set her sights on the nobles of various states and counties.
Not to mention how the Empress Dowager Yun chose thousands of choices for him, seeing that the New Year was approaching, Liu Zhi transferred Du Mi back to Beijing this year to take over the position of the old and departed secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Nowadays, there are many important positions in the DPRK and China, and they are gradually replaced by people he trained at the beginning of his pro-government, and these people have one thing in common, that is, pragmatism.
Regardless of their personality, they are sleek, upright, or calm...... But they are all down-to-earth and willing to do some things, rather than living a vegetarian life.
And the group of old ministers in the Shun Emperor period back then, it was too common for them to just mess around.
Speaking of Emperor Han Shun, he was also a very smart emperor, he once made up his mind to carry out the reform of the recommendation system, rectify the rule of officials, etc., but his personality was too soft, and in the end it was gone.
When Empress Dowager Liang was in power, she also used many virtuous ministers, but unfortunately she had a lawless brother who persecuted all the people she promoted.
So she also suffered from constant interruptions, and repeated hesitation and connivance led to the backlash out of control.
Liu Zhi's own character is not decisive, but after he ascended the throne, he witnessed the tragedy of the Empress Dowager Liang, and learned from the pain, and gradually became tougher.
It's just that in some ways, he is still somewhat similar to Empress Dowager Liang, and he is too indulgent in the face of the people he cares about.
In the eighth year of the Xi Dynasty, the impact of the plague slowly subsided, and the momentum of the country's economic recovery was very rapid, especially agricultural production, which was smooth for two consecutive years, and the granary of the imperial court began to fill again.
However, Liu Zhi did not dare to be careless, after all, he knew that he was now in the Xiaoice period, and in the next tens or even hundreds of years, the climate would be capricious and changeable.
Droughts, floods, storms, ice storms and earthquakes occur at regular intervals.
Born in such a difficult era, the productive forces and technology are not developed, if he wants to make such a huge empire rich and stable, I am afraid that he will not have a time to worry about it in the future.
In recent years, he has vigorously advocated the construction of water conservancy projects and improved various disaster prevention and relief systems, just to cope with unknown disasters.
In June, the queen was about to give birth, and the court was in the spotlight, and even Dou Yun, who had retired, was invited into the palace to sit down.
Deng Meng usually exercises regularly, and his physical fitness is very good, even if he has a big belly, he still walks lightly and powerfully.
Although there was no B-ultrasound at this time, through the careful examination of the doctors of Tai Hospital, it was already discovered that she was pregnant with twins in her womb.
This is an auspicious event celebrated by the whole country, and twins have always been considered auspicious, and the royal family is even rarer.
Therefore, everyone is speculating about the gender of the queen's child, whether it is two princes, two princesses, or a more magical dragon and phoenix fetus.
For this reason, many people have opened a gamble in private, of course, no one dares to say it publicly, after all, the birth of women in this era is a ghost gate.
Especially having twins, it is even more dangerous, and no one can say for sure whether the children will survive healthily until the dust settles.
Due to the rendering of modern film and television dramas, many people have misunderstood, thinking that ancient twins were a taboo and a bad omen, and they had to discard one and so on in the royal family.
In fact, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been many records of twins, and there is a legend that Zu Jia, the king of the Yin Shang period, gave birth to twins, one called '嚚' and the other called 'Liang'.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Xu gave birth to twin daughters, one was called 'Demon' and the other was called 'Mao'; during the Warring States Period, Tang Le, a doctor of Chu State, gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, a boy called 'Zhenfu', and a girl called 'Qionghua'.
During the Western Han Dynasty, there were more twins recorded in writing, Zheng Changshi, Wen Changqian, and Teng Gong all gave birth to twins, and Li Li gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins......
Liu Xin's book even recorded an interesting story, the wife of the powerful minister Huo Guang gave birth to twin brothers.
The family argued over who was the elder brother and who was the younger brother, and some said that the one who was born first was the eldest, and the one who was born later was the younger brother.
Some people said that the one who should be on the top is the elder brother, and the one who is below is the brother, and then Huo Guang made a decision, saying that according to the habits of most people, the one born first is the elder brother.
The story is told in the tone of anecdotal evidence, and there is not the slightest record of ominous records.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xue Huiming, the wife of Yuan Zhan of the clan, gave birth to twins, unfortunately died, and his wife died of excessive grief, according to his epitaph.
…… On February 10th, the double birthday of the god and bear, Ruizhang Liangyao, Jian Wei Tao, Russia came and went, one bone and one blood, and I was safe......
Among them, the double birth of the god and bear, and the two Yao of Ruizhang, it is clearly written that twins are a symbol of auspiciousness.
Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was originally married to the Wang family, and his brother Wang Shouyi was a dragon and phoenix fetus, and it did not affect her to marry the king of the county, so it can be seen that the unlucky statement that the twins are pure nonsense.
In the future, there are more records about the twins, all of which are recorded in a festive tone, recorded in the Ming Dynasty.
His uncle, Zhao Wang Zhu Zhanyuan, gave birth to twin sons, and played the good news of his nephew.
Ying Zongyun: This is within the reach of the ancestors' blessings, the celebration of the uncle's goodness, and the signs of the clan's prosperity. But caress it.
In addition, in the Ming Dynasty, there were many records of people giving birth to triplets and being rewarded by the imperial court's rice money.
The reason why there are rumors that twins are unlucky is because in ancient times, some ethnic minorities who believed in witchcraft believed that twins were conceived by evil cults, and they were regarded as ominous.
It is said that to this day, there are still certain ethnic minorities who practice this custom.
Later film and television dramas used the topic to play in order to create a bloody plot. Under the false rumors, it caused the rumors that the twins were unknown in ancient China.
Without further ado, just talking about the queen's birth alarmed all the top doctors in Dahan, since Dou Yun ventured to give a caesarean section for the late Concubine Tianmi, over the years, the surgical conditions have made great progress.
The advent of scalpels, hemostats, stethoscopes, anesthetics, alcohol concentrations, antibiotics, and suturing techniques are no longer the same.
Since the invention of the high-powered magnifying glass, the most critical blood transfusion technology has also begun to be gradually conquered, and at present, the four most basic blood types can be tested using the oldest serum method.
Although it is still not possible to distinguish between specific blood types and negative blood, it has laid the foundation for human-to-human transfusions.
After several years of exploration by Dou Yun and his disciples, this goal has finally been achieved, and many clinical experiments have been carried out in Dahan Jingshi Hospital.
Due to the limitations of technology, the mortality rate is certainly much greater than in modern times, but it is undoubtedly a lifesaver for many diseases and serious trauma that can only wait for death.
It's just that the blood storage technology is not up to standard, and it cannot be collected in advance as in modern times, so a group of people can only be prepared in advance as a spare blood transfusion kit.
And this group of people, except for some medical students, most of them are slaves, and there are also some ordinary soldiers in the army.
However, there were troubles in this matter, as the Han Dynasty was strictly divided into classes, and many scholars believed that the blood of untouchables entering their bodies would pollute their noble bloodlines.
Therefore, the magical blood transfusion technique, which could be quickly promoted in the army, was not so sought after in Kyoto.
Generally, if a nobleman needs a blood transfusion, he will look for a suitable blood type among his relatives, but he unexpectedly found several incidents of non-biological children.
This opened the minds of the nobles, and many people who were suspicious of their children secretly ran to the hospital to ask for a blood type check.
The hospital in Dahan was under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is, the private property of Emperor Liu Zhi.
For ethical reasons, Dou Yun sternly refused this request at first.
As a result, when Liu Zhi found out, he instructed him to accept it, but he had to charge a high fee and keep it confidential for the appraiser.
And these revenues will be used for their team's research expenses, which will contribute to the development of Dahan Medicine.
It is said that so far, a number of problematic children have been identified, and most of them are concubines born to bewitching concubines.
You must know that the noble daughters of this era have strict rules since childhood, and the followers around them are like clouds, whether in terms of moral character or practical conditions, the possibility of giving birth to an illegitimate child is very low.
But the concubine is different, some of them are looking at the husband's money, and some of them are forced, and if they are unwilling, it is difficult to say whether they will keep their chastity for their husband.
For a while, the undercurrent in the capital was turbulent, and from time to time, a certain family was secretly exiled by the family, or simply found an excuse to deal with it.
Although Liu Zhi knows that there is no distinction between high and low human blood, it is the same in today's mainstream thought.
What's more, as the monarch of the feudal system, he must also maintain the lofty status of his own class.
Therefore, as early as a few months ago, Deng Meng's relatives began to test their blood type, because her father is no longer there, her brother is far away from the ends of the earth, and her mother is old.
Finally, several cousins were brought in for blood tests.
Three candidates, including her younger brother Deng Yuan, were determined, including her personal female official Deng Wan, who had always followed the queen and was still serving in the palace even if she got married later.
Once the queen has signs of labor, in addition to the doctor in charge of the delivery, these three must also be on standby in case of emergency.
On the sixth day of the first month of June, Deng Meng no longer went to Yong'an Palace to greet him routinely because the delivery period was approaching, and after breakfast, he took a walk in the yard with his waist up.
Suddenly, I felt a dull pain in my stomach, and I knew that it was activated, but she was not in her first childbirth, so she was not panicked.
Knowing that he was going to survive early, he didn't make a noise and walked back slowly and quietly.
Walking to the door of the hall, he instructed Deng Wan, "You go and inform the people in the Tai Hospital, just say that I happened, don't be alarmed by Your Majesty, and wait until there is a big movement." ”
Deng Wan saw that her tone was calm, but she was startled, after all, the queen was pregnant with twins.
In the Han Dynasty, the main reason for the scarcity of twins was the high proportion of accidents during childbirth.
Although the queen ordered, Deng Wan still didn't dare to be careless, and Liu Zhi had explained earlier that the queen must notify him as soon as possible.
So as soon as Deng Meng entered the delivery room unhurriedly, the Empress Dowager Yun and the emperor had already hurried over.
