Chapter 220 Nine Sons of Nanzhao
Lingyin Palace.
"Ah...it hurts!"
"Mother...I, it hurts so much!"
"You slaves, let him out quickly...!"
"Ah...!"
Inside Lingyin Palace.
Concubine Yin was giving birth, and screams kept coming.
Outside the palace, only Zheng Yi and the queen were waiting, and the other concubines were not seen.
As the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, Princess Lingyin's status can be considered noble as she entered the palace as a concubine.
However, her temperament is a bit unruly and she does not get along well with other concubines. Only Zheng Yi and the Queen can keep her under control.
"Your Majesty."
Lu Lin'er whispered: "Sister Yin Fei, she is really kind..."
Zheng Yi said indifferently: "What kind of true temperament? She is just a unruly and willful woman."
"If she wasn't from the Nanzhao Kingdom behind her, and she was of some use, how could I have indulged him so much?"
The fire attribute spiritual roots in Yin Fei's body are of the middle grade. Zheng Yi has already cultivated his fire attribute spiritual roots to the middle grade through Yin Fei.
In other words, Concubine Yin is no longer of much use to him at this time.
It will be even more useless when she gives birth to a child.
Zheng Yi was already considering in his mind whether to hand over the child born to Concubine Yin to other concubines to raise him?
"Wow, wow wow..."
Not long after, a child's cry came from the palace, which was very loud.
The queen was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, it's time to give birth. Sister Yinfei has given birth!"
Zheng Yi also smiled and nodded. The ninth prince was the last one left before the second three thousand worlds opened.
Not long after, the wet nurse walked out quickly holding a baby.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Yin has given birth to a prince!"
Prince!
It’s the prince again!
Nine princes in a row, this is simply... God bless you!
First, there were ten princesses in a row, which caused constant discussion in the court and triggered many rebellions against the king.
And now, His Majesty's concubines actually gave birth to nine princes in succession.
Nowadays, there is a Qing Concubine who is expecting to give birth. If Qing Concubine also gives birth to a prince, this will be a great auspiciousness!
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "All the people in Lingyin Palace, watch and enjoy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Yi stepped forward, but only looked at the child in the wet nurse's arms, but did not take it.
"Take him down, I'll go see Concubine Yin."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Yi walked into the palace. At this moment, all the filth in the palace had been cleaned away, leaving only the weak concubine Yin and the serving maid.
"Your Majesty~"
Concubine Yin struggled to sit up, but Zheng Yi did not move. The maid on the side quickly picked up the quilt and put it on Concubine Yin's back.
"Concubine Yin has worked hard. You should have a good rest and don't think too much on weekdays."
Concubine Yin said: "I understand, Your Majesty, I have something to ask for..."
"...What happened?"
"I, a brother of my concubine came from Nanzhao Kingdom to seek refuge with me. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of our children, can you protect this brother of my concubine..."
"Brother?"
Zheng Yi frowned and said, "Why don't I know about this?"
"Cheng'en?"
Liu Chengen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, half a year ago the king of Nanzhao persuaded Long Sheng to pass away, and his third son persuaded Linglong to ascend the throne as king. The cabinet has long been aware of this matter, and issued a notice to the new ruler of Nanzhao. National seal.”
"In order to gain the throne of Nanzhao Kingdom, this man killed eleven brothers before he won the throne of Nanzhao Kingdom."
"The clan brother mentioned by Empress Yinfei should be the seventh son of Quanlong Sheng, Quanling Sword. This man and Empress Yinfei are the same brothers. In order to avoid being chased by Quanlinglong, he fled into our country, Yu, under the protection of his loyal and brave men. I went through all kinds of hardships to get to the capital.”
"This person has been writing to me, Dayu, to send troops to help him conquer Quan Linglong and help him become king."
Zheng Yi asked: "How did the cabinet solve it?"
"Return to Your Majesty."
Liu Chengen said: "Quan Linglong is very wise as the queen. Not only did she abide by all the contracts signed before between Dayu and Nanzhao, she also took the initiative to send an army to assist Guanshan in dealing with Yuezhou Shi Tianlong."
"After becoming king, I also sent people to bring many rare treasures."
"Due to the war in the south, all those treasures were stranded in Yunzhou and were guarded by General Guanshan."
"His intention has been made clear, and he has taken the initiative to join us, Dayu, and the other competitors have been killed, so he can only be allowed to be the king."
Zheng Yi nodded: "That's it."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Concubine Yin hurriedly said: "I, I do not expect to be able to help my brother to defeat the puppet king. I only hope that your majesty can protect my brother and let him escape the pursuit of my third brother..."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "This matter... I have my own opinion."
"Persuade Lingjian, give him a position in the Forbidden Army, let him get familiar with the Yu army formation, and then solve the people who are chasing Nanzhao."
Liu Chengen immediately said: "I obey the order!"
Princess Lingyin's beautiful eyes also lit up, and she quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Don't be too hasty to thank me yet."
Zheng Yi said: "I have already chosen a name for our child. You were born in Nanzhao and often miss your hometown, so I specially named him 'Nan'."
"Zheng Chengnan, how are you?"
"Zheng Chengnan?"
Concubine Yin's lips trembled, and she wanted to say something, but she still lowered her head and said: "I would like to thank Your Majesty for the name."
"No need to be polite."
Zheng Yi said quietly: "Educate our child well. When he grows up, let his uncle take him back to Nanzhao Kingdom and inherit the throne of Nanzhao Kingdom."
"W-What...?!"
Concubine Yin suddenly raised her head and looked at Zheng Yi in disbelief: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the position of king of Nanzhao Kingdom is to encourage the family..." "Huh?"
Zheng Yi said: "Quanjia? Chengnan also has the Guanjia bloodline, how can he not be the king of Nanzhao?"
"Besides, he is also your and my child. Don't you want your child to live a better life?"
"Think about everything Third Brother You has done..."
"If Chengnan doesn't go to Nanzhao, I can't guarantee what consequences he will have."
"Chengnan...!"
Concubine Yin finally reacted.
The third brother persuaded Linglong to kill eleven brothers, all of whom were half-brothers, in order to win the throne of Nanzhao Kingdom!
Her eldest brother and seventh brother also had no choice but to flee to Dayu to avoid being chased by Quan Linglong and asked her sister for help.
Think about it, what will you do if Chengnan becomes an adult?
Not to mention the identity of the prince, which of the other seven princes does not have the support of many ministers, families and forces behind him?
If Cheng Nan becomes an adult, who could be behind it?
Although she is the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, after her father passed away and her unfamiliar third brother became the king, she is still hunting for her brother. How much help can she give her?
And what about yourself?
Ever since His Majesty favored me for the first time, I have been doting him exclusively for more than a month.
But after that, after getting pregnant, His Majesty seemed to get tired of him and stopped coming for more than half a year.
How much help can an unloved concubine provide to her children?
Looking at the contemplative Concubine Yin, Zheng Yi said: "Concubine Yin, you are my concubine, and you also gave birth to my child."
"Whether it's for you or Chengnan, I naturally have to think about you."
"If Chengnan has good qualifications, I will let him stay with me."
"If he is an ordinary person, let him go to Nanzhao when he reaches adulthood."
"As long as he stays in Nanzhao all his life and doesn't think wildly, he will live a peaceful life."
Concubine Yin said in a trembling voice: "Thank you so much for Your Majesty's consideration. I understand."
"I, my concubine, will educate Chengnan well."
"Okay, you can rest first, I have other things to deal with."
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
After leaving Lingyin Palace, Zheng Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't have much feelings for Princess Lingyin.
After all, it is just a bargaining chip used in transactions between the two countries.
Moreover, at the beginning, he only regarded her as a furnace with fire-attribute spiritual roots.
But after more than a year of contact, especially after Lingyin gave birth to a son for her, it was inevitable that there would be no trace of friendship in her heart.
"That's all. After all, she gave birth to a guise for me and contributed to the opening of my three thousand worlds. Let her be an ordinary concubine."
"There is only one prince left in my three thousand worlds."
"Concubine Qing's delivery time is almost a month away, as long as she waits for another month..."
"Buzz buzz..."
Suddenly, a familiar sound of insects attracted Zheng Yi's attention.
"Huh? Blood Moon Gu?"
With a thought in his mind, a bloody thread flew quickly from a distance.
If you look closely, you will see that it is not a bloody thread at all, but a ferocious bloody worm as big as a finger.
It's Blood Moon Gu!
"This is... one of the six blood moon Gu that I gave to Ma Jinwu. Something happened in the Southern War?"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."
The blood evil Gu flew to Zheng Yi's side, dancing up and down excitedly, as if it was saying something.
Unfortunately, the Blood Moon Gu couldn't speak, but he could only vaguely guess that this Blood Moon Gu killed a monk.
"Has a monk fallen? It seems that my previous hints are obvious enough."
"Xu Mu's army finally launched an offensive, but I don't know which monk died?"
"Don't worry, the battle report should be sent soon."
Sure enough, three days later.
The Dayu court received the Xuzhou battle report.
In the eleventh year of Zhengyong, it was the third day of June.
Xu Mujun launched a general offensive, and generals such as Xu Mujun, Tang Zhengkou, Miao Xiu, Cui Xiawu, Meng Guang, and Guan Shan responded one after another, launching attacks on the rebels from the north, west, and southwest.
The first ones to start a battle with the rebels were Meng Guang's navy and the rebel Tuoba family navy!
In the eleventh year of Zhengyong, it was the sixth day of June.
Meng Guang led a navy of 100,000 to the north of Yunmengze, and launched a battle with the Tuoba family's navy of over 150,000.
In this battle, both sides suffered more than 100,000 casualties, destroyed countless warships and sterns, and the entire Yunmeng River turned red with killings.
The lake is full of fish and shrimps, vying to devour them.
And in this battle, the final winner is still the Imperial Navy!
Tuoba Jiang, the leader of the Tuoba family, died in battle.
Tuoba family deputy general Hun Jianglong died in battle.
Tuoba Qingtong, a member of the main clan of the Tuoba family and a sixth-level qi-training monk, died.
Zhao Qingshan, the main clan member of the Tuoba family and a fifth-level Qi practitioner, was seriously injured and escaped.
The Tuoba family navy was completely slaughtered, with more than 80,000 people killed in battle, and more than 50,000 people missing, living in Yunmengze.
The Dayu Navy suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and the remaining 50,000 people stopped and stayed on the spot after capturing Wuxi Island!
At this point, the Tuoba family had lost the ability to continue going north and could not lead an army to support King Chen of Xuzhou.
"Meng Guang... can be considered a talent."
Looking at the information in his hand, Zheng Yi nodded slowly.
Although the killing of the Tuoba family monks was attributed to the Blood Moon Gu, without Meng Guang's command, the outcome of this naval battle would have been uncertain.
"The members of the Tuoba family were killed, and the monks of the Tuoba family must have gone crazy."
"Meng Guang..."
Zheng Yi murmured: "We still have to take the main battlefield. As long as Xu Mujun's offensive is urgent, the Tuoba family cannot be distracted."
"Xu Mujun, I wonder what you should do?"
