Chapter 221 The fourth child is born
North Palace.
Outside the main courtyard.
Lu Chen's women were waiting anxiously at the door. Chu Yuqin glanced at the pregnant sisters Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou, and then said: "Xiaoxiao, Youyou, you two are also pregnant, so there is no need to stand here. Wait, you should go back and rest.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "Aunt Chu, we are fine."
As soon as Zhou Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she heard Mu Zixuan's painful cry from inside the room.
After hearing Mu Zixuan's cry, Chu Yuqin quickly turned to the female guard at the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Isn't the prince back yet?"
Although Mu Zixuan was able to give birth with the help of a midwife, giving birth was a very painful process. Chu Yuqin had just sent someone to notify Lu Chen and asked Lu Chen to come back quickly and use magic to help Mu Zixuan relieve the pain.
The female guard at the door said: "Mrs. Chu, the prince has gone to Xincheng. I have asked the Jin Yiwei to inform him. He should be back soon."
Hearing this, Chu Yuqin sighed. Before Lu Chen came back, Mu Zixuan had no choice but to endure the pain.
They don't know magic, so they can only stand outside and wait.
At this moment, Mu Zixuan's shrill scream came from the delivery room again.
But at this moment, a tall and majestic figure appeared at the door of the courtyard.
Seeing Lu Chen coming back, everyone at the door of the delivery room quickly moved out of the way.
Chu Yuqin said anxiously: "Chen'er, hurry in and take a look, Zixuan is about to give birth."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Well, okay."
There was no sense of urgency on Lu Chen's face. As long as he came back, Mu Zixuan would basically not be in any danger.
Giving birth to a child was a relatively risky thing in ancient times. Women often died of one or two children due to dystocia, but with Lu Chen in the palace, his wives and concubines would not suffer from dystocia.
Lu Chen strode into the delivery room. At this time, Mu Zixuan was lying on the bed, sweating profusely and her face was pale. Her hair was all wet with sweat and it was all stuck together.
After seeing Lu Chen enter the room, Mu Zixuan's pale face showed a smile. As long as this man came back, everything would be no problem.
Lu Chen walked to the bedside, then took Mu Zixuan's hand and directly used the rejuvenation hand to relieve Mu Zixuan's pain.
Mu Zixuan was about to speak, but the child had not yet been born. She had to work harder and swallowed her words again.
Lu Chen then instilled spiritual power into Mu Zixuan. After the spiritual power entered Mu Zixuan's body, he isolated the baby from Mu Zixuan's body, and then wrapped the baby up. The baby's body instantly became extremely smooth, and it immediately came out.
The next moment, the baby's cries rang out in the delivery room.
The midwives immediately began to deal with the child's subsequent affairs.
Lu Chen smiled inwardly. He finally understood why the system rewarded him with the Rejuvenation Hand technique in the first place. It turned out that the biggest function of this technique was to help women give birth to children.
After the child was born, Lu Chen continued to use the rejuvenation hand to treat Mu Zixuan until Mu Zixuan regained her strength and her face became rosy.
Mu Zixuan looked into Lu Chen's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, thank you."
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched Mu Zixuan's forehead, and helped her move the messy hair on her forehead to one side.
"You and I are husband and wife, so we don't need to be so polite."
"Let's take a look at the child."
At this time, the midwives had finished taking care of the child. After hearing Lu Chen's words, the midwife immediately took the child over.
Lu Chen sat beside the bed, put the child on the bed, and then looked at it carefully.
It's a boy.
And he is a big fat boy, weighing at least ten pounds.
Mu Zixuan also slowly stood up and looked down at the baby boy on the bed.
"Your Majesty, the child doesn't have a name yet, give him a name."
Lu Chen was about to speak when suddenly the system voice sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining an heir, a Grand Master Literary Sage, and five thousand civil servants as rewards. 】
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.
He really guessed it right.
He had been thinking a few months ago that Mu Zixuan and the others were not only carrying his children, but also the talents he wanted, but he didn't expect that the system would actually reward his civilian talents.
The governance of the Northern Kingdom really needs talents.
In the past few months, Lu Chen had been very busy, doing everything by himself, and he was already a little annoyed.
He was originally a person who liked to enjoy himself, but as a result, he suddenly had so many things to do, and he was very busy every day. His only entertainment was to cultivate a relationship with his woman in the inner courtyard. After a long time, he would get tired of it.
This was good, he suddenly had 5,000 more civil servants. He finally had someone to help him handle government affairs, so he didn't have to do everything himself.
Moreover, the talents rewarded by the system are 100% loyal, so he does not have to worry about intrigues. As for whether there will be intrigues between officials, he is not too worried about this.
The stone that Lu Chen had been hanging in his heart for nearly a year finally fell.
After Lu Chen came back to his senses, he looked at the baby on the bed and said with a smile, "Why don't we call him Lu Ziming."
At this time, Chu Yuqin and other women entered the delivery room. After Lu Chen's treatment, Mu Zixuan had basically recovered and did not need to rest like those women who had given birth.
After hearing Lu Chen's words, the baby who was moving around on the bed gradually calmed down, and a smile seemed to appear on his little face.
Seeing this scene, Mu Zixuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Ming'er likes you to give him a name."
Lu Chen raised his hand, lightly touched Lu Ziming's face, and said with a smile: "Ziming, you have done a great favor to dad."
Seeing this harmonious scene, Yelu Nanyan couldn't help but touch her belly. She also wanted to give Lu Chen a child, but almost a year had passed and her belly still didn't respond. She even doubted herself. Are you getting older and no longer able to have children?
When he thought of this, Yelu Nanyan sighed slightly in his heart.
Lu Chen stayed in the delivery room for about an hour. After Mu Zixuan's body and mind had completely recovered, he left the delivery room and went to the study. After entering the study room, Lu Chen opened the system panel again to see where the talents he needed were located.
[Identity implanted by Grand Master Wen Sheng: Zhuge Chongguang, the dean of Huanyu Academy. He has received information about you. He is in the Dawu Dynasty at this time and will go to Dayue soon. If he needs to go to the North Country immediately, the host can directly Convey the command once. 】
[Identity implantation of five thousand civil servants: They are now tutors and students of Huanyu Academy. They are currently at Huanyu Academy in Daqian Dynasty. If they need to go to the North Kingdom immediately, the host can directly convey an order. 】
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw the system interface.
Universal Academy?
As a person who has traveled to this world since he was a child, Lu Chen has naturally heard of the name of this academy. It is said that the students in this academy have very lofty ideals. Their goal is to unite the world, which makes them on par with the general ruling class. Opposite relationship.
Although Huanyu Academy is within the territory of Daqian, the royal family of the Daqian Dynasty has always criticized Huanyu Academy and has always wanted them to leave the Daqian Dynasty. If it were not for the fact that Huanyu Academy has a great master, Wen Sheng, I am afraid that the royal family of the Daqian Dynasty They had already used force to destroy Huanyu Academy.
There are indeed many talents in Huanyu Academy, and in recent years they have also joined the world and participated in politics. However, the ruling class of that dynasty does not like them. Even if they become officials, they will not be able to become high officials.
People who have the idea of "university under heaven" are aliens in today's world and cannot be accepted by the rulers.
If the world becomes unified, how will the power of the ruling class be maintained? Therefore, Huanyu Academy has always been in an awkward position in this world.
Although there are so many talents in Huanyu Academy, they are not reused. This has also made Huanyu Academy less and less popular over the years. Not many people are willing to go to Huanyu Academy to study.
After entering Huanyu Academy, the students all had ideas that were contrary to the ruling class. It was impossible for the ruling classes of the major dynasties to let them serve as officials, and they would not be reused, and their studies would be in vain.
Thinking back to the Huanyu Academy he knew, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth rose slightly.
The world is unified...
This ideal is indeed a bit too advanced, and it is no wonder that the ruling class is unwilling to allow students from Huanyu Academy to serve as officials.
To be honest, if these students from Huanyu Academy were not arranged systematically, Lu Chen, as a vassal king of a feudal country, would not want to use them, a group of literati who only think about the world's unity.
In an era with such low productivity, how can the world be unified?
If we want to achieve universal unity, this means that the ruling class must give up its own interests and distribute the resources it enjoys to the common people. How can the ruling class enjoy life?
Lu Chen himself is a vested interest, and it is absolutely impossible for him to advocate the idea of university under heaven.
However, he still needs officials who strive for the interests of the people. Only when officials serve the people, then the people in the North will trust him as the King of the North, and his rule will be more stable.
Therefore, this group of people in Huanyu Academy are a cancer to other ruling classes, but they are treasures to Lu Chen.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately said to the system: "Issue a summons order to have them move to the North within half a year."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, the system's beep sounded again.
[The summons order has been issued, and everyone at Huanyu Academy has accepted your order. 】
……
at the same time.
Dawu Dynasty, in a restaurant.
A mature woman with beautiful appearance wearing a purple dress was sitting at a table, and sitting opposite her was a gray-haired old man.
Although the old man's hair and beard are completely white, he looks very energetic and does not look like he is one hundred and fifty years old at all.
The woman said at this time: "Senior Zhuge, since the Daqian Dynasty cannot accommodate you, seniors, how about moving Huanyu Academy to the Dawu Dynasty?"
"The door of Dawu Dynasty is open to Huanyu Academy at any time."
Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Zhuge Chongguang smiled slightly and stroked his snow-white beard.
What was Wu Yunwan planning? How could Zhuge Chongguang not know that Wu Yunwan was not interested in Huanyu Academy. What she really wanted to do was to use Huanyu Academy to win over herself, a great master of literature.
Zhuge Chongguang then said: "Thank you to the eldest princess for your kindness. I understand it. However, Huanyu Academy advocates peace, and Dawu launches wars every year, which is inconsistent with the philosophy of Huanyu Academy."
"If Huanyu Academy moves to the Dawu Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be conflicts between the students of the academy and some people from the Dawu Dynasty due to ideological discord."
Seeing that Zhuge Chongguang politely rejected her, Wu Yunwan still refused to give up. She continued: "Senior Zhuge, as far as I know, the current situation of Huanyu Academy is very bad. Recently, it has been spread in the Daqian Dynasty that Huanyu Academy does not abide by etiquette and laws. The system of respecting etiquette has led to disasters from heaven, and the people have demanded the abolition of Huanyu Academy.”
"If Huanyu Academy does not move away from the Daqian Dynasty, it will be abolished sooner or later. Why should Senior Zhuge continue to stay in the Daqian Dynasty?"
Hearing these words, Zhuge Chongguang still had a smile on his face. He was about to say something. Suddenly, his mind froze and his whole body was slightly stunned, as if he thought of something important.
Wu Yunwan naturally noticed the change in the expression on Zhuge Zhongguang's face. Wu Yunwan asked tentatively: "Senior Zhuge?"
Zhuge Chongguang came to his senses quickly. He showed a kind smile again, and this time his smile was even bigger. It could be seen that he seemed to have thought of something happy just now.
"Thank you again for the invitation, eldest princess, but I have made up my mind and will not leave the Daqian Dynasty for the time being. As for whether Huanyu Academy will be moved away from the Daqian Dynasty in the future, that is a matter for the future."
Having said this, Zhuge Chongguang stood up directly and continued: "Elder Princess, I am going to the Dayue Dynasty next, so I will not stay in Dawuduo."
Hearing this, Wu Yunwan immediately said: "In that case, I will no longer hold you back, senior Zhuge, go away slowly!"
Zhuge Chongguang then turned around and left the restaurant, taking the disciples from Huanyu Academy and heading straight for the Dayue Dynasty.
Looking at the hurried carriage downstairs, Wu Yunwan frowned slightly.
She really wanted to move Huanyu Academy to the Dawu Dynasty because of Zhuge Chongguang, the great master of the literary sage. However, judging from Zhuge Chongguang's appearance, he probably would not come to the Dawu Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan sighed and said: "It seems that Zhuge Chongguang has no interest in Dawu at all."
Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Wu Yunwan's protector Pei Hong reminded him from behind: "Your Highness, Zhuge Chongguang broke through to the realm of great master decades ago, and he should not be far from the realm of heaven and man now. , a strong person like him is generally stubborn and not so easy to win over.”
Wu Yunwan said lightly: "Yes."
"Forget it, moving Huanyu Academy to Dawu is not a good thing. If you can't win over them, you can't win over them."
"He just said that he is going to Dayue Dynasty. Judging from his appearance, he probably plans to move Huanyu Academy to Dayue Dynasty. I have a good relationship with Emperor Yue. If Huanyu Academy really moves to Dayue Dynasty, I will still be there in the future. There is a chance to win over him.”
Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan felt a little better.
