Chapter 461 Qingming Festival! (Part 2)
The Prince's Mansion;
The midwife and the doctor have already entered, and the maids are constantly passing things back and forth and heating hot water. Everyone is busy with a sense of anxiety. Confused.
Because He Sisi’s screams in the delivery room were getting weaker and weaker.
No one could have imagined that the princess would give birth prematurely, let alone that the situation would suddenly become so critical.
The news that the princess had a difficult childbirth was not hidden from anyone, and there was no need to hide it from anyone.
Ji Chengjue ordered Eunuch Zhang to find the He family and his father.
The woman in the delivery room is doing her best for her child, and now it seems that it may cost her her life.
At this moment, as a man, Ji Chengjue's mentality has undergone some changes.
Or,
After all, he was not as cool as his biological father.
He felt that
at this time, her father and brother should also appear here.
Ji Chengjue didn't think about using this method to motivate him. He, the husband, couldn't do anything to motivate him here, let alone others.
He just thought that if the worst happened, she would not have any regrets.
You can't blame Ji Laoliu for thinking the worst here, nor can you blame him harshly for making such a plan,
because he can't give birth in her place,
he can only stand Here,
listening to the screams coming from inside,
Is it possible that at this time, I can still consider the baby's nickname with full of hope, excitement and expectation?
Ji Laoliu is not crazy!
However, he hopes that he can go crazy;
The education he has received since childhood and the experiences he has endured have made him develop an instinct, that is, the more faced he is, the more he will go crazy. When big things happen, you will feel more at peace.
Just like an injured person who is in pain, he cannot faint and can only bear it clearly.
However, at this time, I was so powerless.
He could only stand there, with his hands behind his back and his eyes looking straight ahead.
When the surrounding servants passed by him, they lowered their heads subconsciously and did not dare to look at him.
He family masters are here. This is the first time they have entered the prince's mansion. In the past, they always came here to deliver some vegetables and meat, and they always asked the imperial guards at the gate to turn in.
Ji Chengjue and He Sisi invited them in several times, but they both refused, and they refused completely.
It can be said that they are the most low-key relatives of the emperor.
But this time, they were carried in.
After coming in, they heard the noise inside, and then looked at the palace maids carrying hot water and ginseng soup coming and going. No matter how confused they were, they understood what was going on.
Lao He clenched his fists fiercely,
“Why is it like this, why is it like this!”
He Chu was also very confused. Stop looking around, his lips trembling.
Ji Chengjue was still standing there with his hands behind his hands. At this time, he had no intention of entertaining his father-in-law and uncle.
In the delivery room, every scream from He Sisi was like a heavy hammer hitting his chest, but the more this happened, the less he could bend down. He hoped that his wife could survive it, You must get through it too.
Lao Hetou instinctively wanted to go to his son-in-law to ask about the situation, but when he saw his son-in-law's appearance, Lao Hetou hesitated and still did not dare to go.
It's not that he is simply afraid, but he also knows in his heart that if he goes up to ask now, he won't be able to help, and it won't help.
However, this is where he feels most aggrieved;
When other father-in-laws encounter this situation, they can step forward to question their son-in-law unceremoniously, or even directly retaliate with old punches. Even if they know that it will be useless, they can at least vent the unknown fire in their chests. go out.
But here, he can't do it.
He Chu wanted to help, such as boiling water or delivering things, but the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went were very meticulous in their work, and there was no shortage of manpower, so there was no room for him to intervene.
At this time, having nothing to do is the most painful.
The movement here also alarmed Lao Si and Lao Wu who lived together in the prince's mansion.
The fourth child came over and frowned, looking at the scene in front of him.
Lao Wu was busy with carpentry work just now. When he heard the report from his servant, there were still wood chips on his head.
The two looked at each other and walked towards Ji Chengjue together.
The fourth child asked: "Lao Liu, what's going on?"
Ji Chengjue didn't look back, didn't even look at his two brothers, he just said one word calmly ：
"Get out."
Lao Si and Lao Wu looked at each other awkwardly, and both of them retreated silently, standing on the side without speaking again.
First of all, this year, Lao Liu, who had been suppressed miserably by his father, suddenly rose to prominence. A big wedding made it clear that he would participate in the fight for the heir, and the prince's Over the past year, I have been memorizing words continuously.
The queen passed away, and her wedding to the princess also ended without a problem.
To seize the direct descendants, before the emperor dies and the edict is announced, the so-called seizing the direct descendants is actually seizing the power.
Nowadays, it is obvious that the East Palace is weak. The sixth prince is in charge of the household department and is in charge of Dayan's money and food. Uncle Hirano of Xue Customs is outside to respond, and there is also the eldest prince to support him. It has become a climate that there are a lot of new scholars inside. , the limelight is booming!
The prince also has a food chain. After all, there is only one dragon chair, and only one person can sit on it. If you don’t plan to sit on it or think it is unlikely that you will sit on it, then you must prepare for the future. Think about it every day, don't even be able to maintain a happy clan in the end.
Secondly, my wife is having a difficult childbirth now, and it is understandable that my temper will be a little grumpy at this time.
The fifth prince licked his lips and looked around. He was currently busy making a crib and cradle for his sixth brother's child.
But looking at the situation now, this crib may not be useful.
He didn't care much about the child's safety, but he cared about the fact that all the hard work he had put into the crib and cradle would probably be in vain.
After all, ordinary people are not worthy of the prince giving this to someone who deserves it. It would be unlucky for you to give this to someone who is worthy of giving it.
The fourth prince lowered his head and looked at the ground.
From his standpoint, he is somewhat happy to see this situation.
The eldest child actually has two children, but they were both born from savage female slaves, so there is no guarantee of pure blood. After all, the eldest son was unable to do anything when he was sleeping in the snowfield, so the two children could not even The surname is "Ji".
Now that Xiao Liuzi is in full swing, if he is the emperor's eldest grandson again, alas...
In fact, after the initial failure of the last Eastern Expedition and the death of the head of the Deng family, the fourth prince kept a much lower profile, but How should I put it, as a prince, who wouldn’t want to sit in that seat?
Even if I know that I have no foreign aid now and my competitiveness is not enough, I don’t want that position to be nailed down early. At least, I can still have a dream to do it when I go to bed at night.
But if you say you want to leave at this time, it is impossible for you to leave.
The Tian family is the most ruthless, but the Tian family needs to perform this emotion more than any other family in the world.
Although the two princes have their own thoughts, they can only continue to be a muddy child here.
At this time, the eldest prince came.
The eldest prince has been leading troops outside to help the Ministry of Households clear out the local remnants. In fact, he is helping to open up trade routes in various places. It is not just bandits that he has attacked. In fact, within the territory of Dayan, not to mention Jin, In the pure Yan Kingdom, it would be an exaggeration to say that people did not pick up lost items on the road, but there were really not many bandits.
When the foreign war was the most intense in the past two years, even those who climbed the walls to have affairs would be caught by the government and sent to the front line as prisoners. There was no room for these bandits to survive. What kind of "stronghold" were they really going to build? If you use the banner of "gang", local officials will already be sharpening their knives to capture young men from you.
What they are attacking are actually "official bandits", the remnants of some clans and some new forces that take advantage of the opportunity to control certain local industries or trade routes after the clans are eliminated.
After the eldest prince married a barbarian princess, his political situation was actually similar to that of the fifth prince of Chu State and his current betrothed prince, Xiong Tingshan.
When a person no longer needs political reputation, it becomes much easier to do things. Although many officials participated in the eldest prince's leadership of the army and went wild outside, the Emperor Yan watched the household After receiving the input from the Ministry, these voices were suppressed.
The eldest prince came with the barbarian princess, who was holding a box in her hand.
Ji Wujiang walked up to Ji Chengjue and did not ask stupidly, "What's wrong?"
Instead, he said directly: "Your sister-in-law brought a snow lotus that she was given as a dowry."
Generally, when pregnant women give birth, in order to replenish their physical strength, ordinary families will prepare some brown sugar water, while wealthy families will prepare ginseng soup.
Ji Chengjue nodded and said nothing.
His family,
is not lacking in this.
The eldest prince slowly took a few steps back and stood with his wife. Then, he glanced at the fourth and fifth sons standing there.
Seeing this, the fourth and fifth children came together and whispered:
"Brother, sister-in-law."
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Barbarian princess versus two The prince was slightly blessed. She had been in Yan for a long time and was familiar with Yan's etiquette.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!”
The fourth child, the fifth child and the eldest prince were all a little surprised. What was the prince doing now?
The prince is here,
he looks a lot thinner.
After he came in, his eyes just glanced at the brothers. He didn't come over or get close to Ji Chengjue. He just stood silently on the outside.
Ji Chengjue didn’t go to greet the prince either.
After a while, Li Yinglian, the prince's companion, came over, holding a box in his hand, which contained a fish-shaped jade.
This jade is a piece of protective jade prepared by the prince in the palace when the prince was canonized. It can ward off disasters.
Because the palace prince had surrendered on Tianhu Mountain, this jade became an only copy.
Ji Chengjue looked at the jade, stretched out his hand to signal a palace maid to come over, took the jade into the delivery room, and placed it under the bed.
Then,
Ji Chengjue turned around and bowed to the prince standing outside.
The prince did not return the greeting, but sat down on the steps of the inner door, hanging his hands and lowering his head.
At this moment,
“Your Majesty has arrived!”
The prince who had just sat down did not move, as if he was asleep, still maintaining that posture.
The boss, fourth, and fifth all knelt down and said:
"My sons and ministers will see my father!"
"My sons and ministers will see my father!"
Emperor Yan left When he came in, he didn't seem to notice the prince sitting in the corner, or he seemed to notice but didn't even bother to take a second look. He walked straight to Ji Chengjue and waved at the same time, signaling them to get up.
Ji Chengjue did not kneel, he was still standing there, and at the same time, he waved his hand behind his back.
All of a sudden, the large sacrifices and guards that the Sixth Prince had borrowed from various escort agencies that were inside and outside the courtyard were all withdrawn. Instead, the masters of the Secret Service brought by Wei Zhonghe re-defended the place.
Emperor Yan did not care about the sixth prince's lack of etiquette and asked directly:
"Who did it?"
Three words,
directly Asked,
With a kind of aura that belongs to the Nine-Five Masters!
Emperors are suspicious, and their first reaction when encountering something is always: Who is plotting against me? Who is up to no good?
Being alone means just that.
The most important thing is that Emperor Yan does not think that his son will not know how to take good care of his pregnant wife.
If someone does not take the opportunity to take advantage of it,
It can't really be just bad luck, right?
After asking these three words,
Yan Huang glanced at Lao Si and Lao Wu standing beside him.
“………” The fourth prince.
“………” The fifth prince.
The two princes themselves lived together in the prince's mansion, so if they wanted to take action, it would undoubtedly be the most convenient.
But after seeing the look in their father's eyes, the two princes almost knelt down and complained.
Oh my god,
Father,
Do you know how many experts the sixth brother has placed in this prince's mansion in the past six months?
On the surface, there are three fourth-grade masters alone!
Three, Father!
Do you know how frightened we two brothers are now living in the prince's mansion!
If the sixth brother suddenly gets nervous and wants to cheat on him, the two brothers who live with him will definitely be the first to be "clicked" and the second!
Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:
"My son's life is not good."
Ji Chengjue replied.
Except for being threatened by Uncle Qi and Li Liangshen, who were sent by the madman from the princess on the night of their wedding, after that, Ji Chengjue unceremoniously mobilized his power, and several major escort agencies had them. There are real masters, and they are the kind of big worshipers who offer the lowest price. These worshipers are not hired through money, but through debts of favor to get them to do things for you.
It can be said that use it once and less once.
But despite this, Ji Chengjue still borrowed them. There are three fourth-level masters!
There are also several other experts who are not of high rank but have rich skills and experience. They are also protecting this place in the shadows at all times, protecting their wives and their unborn children.
It can be said that unless the Forbidden Army in Beijing is mobilized to attack the prince's residence, Ji Chengjue will not be afraid even if the princess wants to go crazy again.
In addition, Ji Chengjue was also extremely meticulous in terms of food and clothing.
So, he can rule out the possibility of artificial attack.
I can only say,
What happened this time was
God’s will,
it was Ji Chengjue’s bad fate, and he deserved this calamity!
And this,
is also the most depressing,
Because if the worst happens, you won’t even have a channel to vent your anger and unwillingness!
The sky,
at this time, became gloomy again. It was rainy during the Qingming Festival, and the silky drizzle did not extinguish the anger entrenched in the yard at this time. On the contrary, it made people feel sad. Feeling more irritable.
The Emperor Yan stood with his hands behind his back,
What he looks like now
It was exactly the same as when Ji Chengjue was standing here alone before.
As an emperor, there are many things that he needs to think about, but there is one hurdle that he cannot avoid, and that is inheritance.
He, Ji Runhao, has seven sons.
When selecting a successor, the choice space can undoubtedly be much wider.
Although there is a system of eldest son here, but now that the Yan family has been wiped out by him, how can a system of eldest son trap this emperor?
It’s just that he thinks about it or doesn’t want to.
Furthermore, in addition to the choice of successor, there is another point, that is, if the population is thin and something unexpected happens, it will either cause chaos in the country's affairs, or it will cause the inheritance of the Dragon Throne to fail. One's own body was transferred to another body.
It seems that they are all surnamed Ji, but the brothers are still settling accounts. The direct line is the direct line. The direct line can ensure the next generation, and the next generation, the direct line will be within oneself.
Once the side lineage gains power, your lineage will be completely cut off from the center of power. You will even suffer more severe suppression, and even the most basic inheritance may be cut off from you.
This is not alarmist. Emperor Taizong of the Qian Kingdom was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu. He succeeded to the throne as the emperor’s younger brother. When he succeeded, he famously said in the edict that he named Emperor Taizu’s young son. The son is the prince, and he will pass the throne back to him in the future.
Then, Emperor Taizu's legitimate son and two concubines "died" of illness, and even his grandsons either died young or suffered from dementia. Finally, the inheritance of the throne of Qian Kingdom has always been in the lineage of Emperor Taizong.
As for the lineage of Emperor Taizu, now they can only rely on their adopted descendants to help fill up the facade and provide blood and food.
For Emperor Yan,
The children born to the eldest son’s barbaric women are obviously different from the Yan people in appearance. Secondly, God knows whether their bloodline is real. Innocence.
The emperor is ruthless, and he will not waste his few feelings on a child who may not be his grandson.
Therefore,
In the eyes of Emperor Yan, and in the eyes of the current government and the public,
the child in He Sisi’s belly,
if it is a baby boy,
That is the emperor’s eldest grandson!
This is the first of his grandchildren, and Emperor Yan doesn't want any accidents to happen.
A group of imperial doctors came in with Emperor Yan.
But in fact, the famous doctors in the delivery room have already prepared it.
There is no shortage of the best doctors, the best midwives, the best medicinal materials, and even some tools for blessing.
Ji Chengjue has done everything he can think of in advance.
At this time,
The highly respected Dr. Sun in the Imperial Hospital ran out of the delivery room,
knelt down and
said:
" Your Majesty, Your Highness, I deserve to die, I am guilty, but I will do my best to keep my little master safe.”
Among the people, it is not easy to get a wife. When encountering this kind of situation, they will ask to protect the elder and the younger.
But in the royal family...
The bloodline of the emperor is extremely important.
If she was a concubine with a special status, she might ask, but in the eyes of Imperial Physician Sun, He Sisi, a woman from a butcher's family, was obviously not as important as an heir to the emperor.
The issue of protecting the elderly and the children is something that even ordinary folk doctors or midwives would not ask unless they have to. It is guaranteed that others will come to trouble you in the future and tell you right and wrong. In the royal family, it is even more forbidden to ask. Otherwise, we will leave the problem to His Majesty and His Highness the Sixth Prince.
This is a warning, which means that according to the current situation, it is difficult to insure both adults and children, so I choose to insure the child.
Emperor Yan nodded slightly.
In the eyes of Emperor Yan, his eldest grandson is undoubtedly the most important. This requires almost no hesitation or thinking.
Mr. Sun kowtowed, stood up, and prepared to return to the delivery room.
At this moment,
Ji Chengjue, whose eyes were already red, suddenly said:
"I want my wife to live!"
Mr. Sun trembled and stopped.
On one side, the fourth and fifth sons standing there suddenly raised their heads and looked at their sixth son.
Even the prince, who was sitting on the threshold of the inner door and almost "hiding" himself, raised his head at this time.
Is this Ji Laoliu
crazy!
Emperor Yan's eyes suddenly fell on Ji Chengjue,
and waved his hand.
Mr. Sun immediately bowed to answer the order.
However,
Ji Chengjue suddenly yelled:
“If my wife dies, you, you, you, all the people present at the hospital and those who participated in the delivery, including me, will I won’t let him go!”
As the son of Emperor Yan,
Ji Chengjue knows that
He is not qualified to change his father's will.
What he can do is to threaten these people who are doing things according to the order.
He is crazy,
He knows that he is crazy,
Of course he knows best that the emperor's eldest grandson is his son, what does it mean, what does it mean for his son , it is very likely that he will be valued by his father, and may even be taken around to be cultivated by his father.
Emperor Yan was no longer interested in these older children, so he was more patient with Xiao Qi, because Xiao Qi was still young and Emperor Yan could still get some "fatherly love" from him.
As the saying goes, kissing another generation, will his first grandson feel different?
Will you show more grandfatherly kindness when you treat him?
Will you value your son more because of this grandson?
An emperor's eldest grandson can play an extremely helpful role in seizing the legitimate heir.
Ji Chengjue knew all this.
Even,
Before today, he had planned many scenes in his mind of how his son would tease his father and compete for his favor.
In fact, not only is the mother more valuable than the son, but the father is also worthy!
Even,
Even before today,
if someone asked Ji Chengjue this question, if this happened, should he be a child or a child?
Ji Chengjue thought that he would probably drink a glass of wine, his eyes would turn red, and he said: "Keep me safe."
Then,
I would take advantage of my drunkenness , showing pain, said to his late wife: He will take good care of our children and give her the best.
Use this to offset your inner guilt.
Among the seven princes of Emperor Yan,
the one who is most worthy of his father is actually Ji Laoliu!
He can bear to lie dormant for so many years, he can go to his mother's grave and fake cry, he can endure what ordinary people cannot endure, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.
He has all the qualifications of a hero, both in temperament and ability.
He feels like this, and he feels like he should be like this.
He can have ten thousand reasons to comfort himself,
No,
Even if he endures a little torture of conscience, what does it mean?
But,
But,
But,
But what happened was,
After He Sisi entered the delivery room,
Ji Chengjue,
I have been standing here outside the delivery room for more than half a day.
He clearly heard the screams coming from his wife in the delivery room, the heart-wrenching screams.
He was very distressed, very very distressed.
This butcher girl from Nan'an County, because of what she said that night, put a hairpin on her neck and forced her to come into her house when her father and brother stopped her.
Without the orders of her parents or the words of a matchmaker, she gave her clean body to herself.
Later, she joked that she was just coveting his male lust and didn't think much about it.
Standing outside the delivery room, under the screams from his wife, for some reason, Ji Chengjue felt more and more disgusted with his unborn child.
Yes, hate.
It was he who made his wife suffer such tremendous pain.
Ji Chengjue's mind is very confused now. He can no longer think carefully. He can only rely on his own instinct to do things.
He doesn't want to lose this woman, he doesn't want to lose her. If the child is gone, he can have it again in the future. If she is gone, it is gone.
Ji Chengjue showed the greatest cold-bloodedness towards the child he had never met.
Since you haven’t opened your eyes to see this world, just pretend that you... don’t exist.
Everyone present was shocked by Ji Laoliu's sudden madness.
includes,
Emperor Yan.
"Ji Chengjue, you..."
Before Emperor Yan finished speaking,
Lao Hetou on the side suddenly shouted: "My daughter Oh, my daughter! ! "My sister, my sister!" br>
The He family's father and son did not understand the meaning of the words when Imperial Physician Sun came out. They thought it was just the Imperial Physician who came out to make a routine announcement.
It wasn’t until they heard Ji Chengjue’s roar that the He family and his father understood what he was trying to do!
At this time,
the most low-key royal relatives broke out, and the two of them started shouting. If the guards nearby had not stopped them, they would have rushed directly in front of Emperor Yan. Go, that's it, they are still pushing and pushing the guards who are blocking them, especially He Chu. As a pig butcher, although he doesn't know martial arts, he has a lot of strength. The two guards can barely suppress him. .
The Emperor Yan ignored the He family and his father,
He just stared at his son with an extremely calm gaze.
In this gaze, there was also an emotion called disappointment.
Because he felt that it would be an unforgivable mistake for his son to lose the kindness of a woman at this time.
Ji Chengjue obviously understood the meaning in his father's eyes, but he did not retreat, but looked at his father's eyes.
“I want my grandson.”
He is the emperor,
he pronounces the Constitution of Heaven,
under his will,
Tian Wujing has to go to the snowy fields to expel the barbarians, and Li Liangting has to return to Beifeng The county continued to guard the barbarians.
When he said fight, he had to fight. When he said peace, only the officials of Qian State and the regent of Chu State could make peace.
Now,
Now,
Now,
He,
just wants his eldest grandson!
Ji Chengjue's chest heaved. For the first time, he showed his ferocious face to his father.
He hated this face, this face of his father.
At the same time,
somehow, deep in my heart, I suddenly remembered the time when I secretly bribed the eunuch and ran into the cold palace where my mother and concubine were, and the moment I opened the door,
< br>What he saw was,
The figure of the mother-in-law hanging on the beam.
Now,
he is here again,
he appears in his home,
he once decided himself without asking himself The fate of mother and concubine,
Today,
he still decides on his wife's fate without asking himself.
Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand,
pointing to the delivery room,
staring at his father, at the ninth-five-year-old king of Yan,
< br>
Word by word:
“I, want, my wife!”
No one could have expected,
At this time,
< br>A confrontation between monarch and minister, between father and son,
Unexpectedly, in this clear drizzle, in such an extremely sudden way... it unfolded.
And at this moment,
"Wow! Wow! Wow!!!!!!"
A baby's crisp cry,
Breaking the almost stagnant atmosphere in the hospital at this time.
A female medical officer with blood on her clothes ran out,
knelt on the ground,
crying and laughing at the same time:
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are so happy. Grandson of the Emperor, congratulations to Your Highness, mother and son are safe!"
At this moment, the He family heaved a sigh of relief and stopped struggling with the guards around them. They couldn't help but murmured: "God bless you, old man! God bless.”
At this time,
Wei Zhonghe knelt down directly,
"I congratulate your majesty on your grandson, God bless my emperor, May the Yan Dynasty live forever!"
Surrounded by, All the escorting maids and eunuchs knelt down and shouted in unison:
“Congratulations to Your Majesty on your grandson!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your grandson!"
The fourth prince, fifth prince, eldest prince and eldest prince's concubine, as well as the prince sitting in the corner, also knelt down at this time:
< br>"I congratulate my father on the birth of my grandson!"
"I congratulate my father on the birth of his grandson!"
Emperor Yan was unmoved,
Continue to stare at your sixth son.
After the female officer said, "Mother and child are safe," Ji Chengjue felt as if all his strength had been sucked out of him,
and sat down directly. On the floor tiles that had been wetted by raindrops,
He raised his head,
Opening his mouth,
his eyes were a little dazed,
he was breathing heavily, and he didn’t know whether he was laughing or crying.
In the entire prince's mansion,
everyone was kneeling on the ground,
Only Emperor Yan stood there alone,
and the Qingming rain,
kept falling.
