Chapter 231 Ten Sons
Already his twentieth child, Zheng Yi already has experience.
After receiving greetings from a large number of people, he sat on the main seat and waited quietly.
"Your Majesty, Qing Fei's sister, Hong Fu Qi Tian, will be fine."
Queen Lu Lin'er on the side whispered, she had vaguely heard something for so many years.
Your Majesty and several concubines are all cultivating.
For example, Concubine Cui, Concubine Chan, Concubine Yu, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Qing who are currently giving birth, etc.
This gave her a sense of crisis.
Moreover, in the past few years, there have been nineteen more princes and princesses in the harem, including nine princes.
If Concubine Qing gives birth to another prince, there will be ten princes!
Then the competition in her Ji'er will be very high.
He must find a way to win over several concubines to form an alliance to gain some support for his son in the future.
The biggest threat to her now is undoubtedly Concubine Cui.
Concubine Yang is guilty and only has a daughter, so she is not a big threat.
Moreover, in the past two years, the number of times His Majesty went to their room has obviously become much less frequent.
On the contrary, Concubine Cui, Concubine Chan, and Concubine Yu are quite favored by His Majesty.
The most important thing is that the three of them also have a prince.
Vaguely, the three of them got very close and soon formed an alliance.
There is also Duan Concubine Xu Qingluan, who has a son and a daughter, and Xu Mujun is behind her, and she has also won over the Imperial concubine Li Changle and others.
Concubine Duan's reputation in the harem was not weaker than hers.
Now in the entire harem, the only two people she can form an alliance with are Concubine Yin and Concubine Qing.
"Yeah."
Zheng Yi nodded, but his mind was not on Lu Lin'er's words.
As long as Qing Fei gives birth to a prince, his Yin Yang Treasure Mirror can open up the second three thousand worlds. Who knows what kind of world it will be?
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my concubine's opinion?"
"Huh?"
Zheng Yi then came back to his senses and asked: "What's your opinion?"
Lu Lin'er said: "Now half of the concubines in the palace are recuperating and cannot take care of His Majesty, and the other women in the harem are rough and rough. His Majesty doesn't like it either. How about holding another national draft?"
"What did you say, the draft?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been seven or eight years since the last draft. It has been long enough."
Lu Lin'er said: "According to convention, the royal draft is held every three years. Although your majesty selected many beautiful girls in the first draft, it should be held for the second time based on time..."
She mentioned this for two reasons.
First, as there are more new people in the harem, the number of times His Majesty goes to Cui Guifei and others will inevitably decrease.
Secondly, the Lu family has also found many outstanding women. If all of them fall into His Majesty's eyes, their power and voice will naturally increase.
Zheng Yi thought. If it were a draft, wouldn't it mean that his life span would continue to increase?
The Blood Sacrifice Nine Infant Fruit of Reincarnation and the soul-eating insect obtained from Zheng's treasure house both require a large amount of blood essence. If...
After thinking for a while, Zheng Yi shook his head.
The top priority now is the second Three Thousand Worlds.
The draft matter can still be postponed.
Besides, there is a war going on in the south of Dayu and there is a threat from the Wu Kingdom on the northern border. How can he conduct a national draft at this time?
At least, we have to wait until the government is stable.
"Let's discuss this matter later. Now the south is still conquering the rebels, and the northern military kingdom is still entangled. Let's wait until the country is stable."
Lu Lin'er immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, but I am frightened."
Your Majesty won't allow it?
It seemed that they could only wait any longer.
"Wow wow wow...~"
At this moment, a burst of crying came from the palace.
Zheng Yi stood up subconsciously: "Concubine Qing gave birth?"
"Your Majesty...!"
At this moment, Liu Chengen walked in quickly, with an excited smile on his face.
"Your Majesty! Great victory, great victory...!"
"Oh?"
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "What's the happy news?"
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Chengen said: "The battle report came from Qingzhou. General Xu has led his troops to annihilate the White Lotus Sect, and personally beheaded the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect and killed more than 300,000 White Lotus sect members."
"The remaining members of the White Lotus Cult were either defeated or surrendered to the imperial army..."
"More than three hundred thousand..."
Hearing this number, Zheng Yi couldn't help but feel a sharp twitch in his heart.
Most of these 300,000 people are ordinary people.
However, due to the turmoil in the country, he was swept into the torrent of history and unfortunately died.
Part of the reason for this is because of himself!
If they hadn't insisted on going their own way and added a pile of firewood to Dayu's flames in advance, they wouldn't have died so quickly.
But...
The longer it takes, the more people will die!
Only by cutting through the mess quickly can we usher in a prosperous age as soon as possible!
These thoughts just circulated in Zheng Yi's mind and were quickly forgotten by him.
"What are the casualties of our army? Where is General Xu?"
Liu Chengen said: "Because of the power of firearms, our army has suffered less than 20,000 casualties. Now it has occupied Guangqing City and is recuperating."
"As for General Xu, he was not injured and is presiding over the affairs of Qingzhou."
"Okay!"
Zheng Yi laughed and said: "Hahaha... today is really a double happiness."
Liu Chengen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is another happy event~"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Didn't General Meng Guang also kill a monk in Yunmengze a few days ago? The monk's body has been secretly escorted back to Beijing. You see..."
Zheng Yi's eyes flashed and he said: "Oh? The corpse of the monk in the middle stage of Qi training from the Tuoba family?"
In this battle, several monks had already died at the hands of the Yu imperial army.
Zheng Yi specifically ordered Xu Mujun to deal with the monk from Nanyue County whom Xu Mujun killed in Yunzhou.
After all, a monk's magic weapon can be used by a warrior as long as he is willing to consume blood essence.
Now, the body of monk Yun Mengze, who died in the hands of Meng Guang's army, was transported to the capital. "Okay! Three happy moments, hahaha..."
At this moment, the door to the palace was opened by the nanny and she came out with a little baby in her arms.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Concubine Qing has given birth to a prince!"
"Wow...~!"
All of a sudden, the concubines and palace people present were all shocked and speechless.
Prince.
The prince again.
In the past few years, the concubines in the harem gave birth to ten princesses in succession.
At that time, everyone thought that Dayu's feng shui was not right and he would not be able to give birth to a boy.
Who would have thought that after the world was in chaos, ten princes would be born in the harem in just three years!
This is undoubtedly a great event for the entire court.
Zheng Yi laughed and said: "Reward! Reward everyone!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Yi teased the child for a while, then got up and went into the bedroom to check on Concubine Qing.
"Your Majesty~"
Although Concubine Qing's face was a little pale, she was undoubtedly in good spirits.
She is only seventeen years old now, which is the time when her body is at its best, so childbirth is not a big burden for her.
"My beloved, please sit down quickly. There is no need to get up and salute."
Zheng Yi supported Concubine Qing and let her lean on the quilt.
"I have lived up to my trust and given birth to a prince for Your Majesty..."
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear concubine."
Zheng Yi caressed Concubine Qing's little face, his eyes full of heartache, and he said a lot of caring words.
He has said these words more than a dozen times, and they are extremely familiar.
But for Concubine Qing, it was undoubtedly the first time she heard it, and she was even more moved. She didn't want to let go of Zheng Yi's big hands.
"Alright, dear concubine, I have already chosen a name for our child, don't you want to know?"
Zheng Yi touched Concubine Qing's head. Concubine Qing raised her head sheepishly and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder what you named our child?"
"Tai."
Zheng Yi's words were concise and concise: "Tai means peace and stability, the connection between heaven and earth, and the connection of all things."
"The inner yang is the outer yin, the inner strength is the outer docility, the inner gentleman is the outer villain, the gentleman's Tao is long, and the villain's Tao is eliminated."
"When this son was born, General Xu of Qingzhou attacked Guangqing City of the White Lotus Sect and annihilated the White Lotus Sect. We, Dayu, are about to pacify the south. It is truly a double joy."
"That's why I named this son 'Zheng Chengtai'. I wonder what my concubine thinks?"
"Chengtai, Chengtai..."
Concubine Qing murmured a few words, and then hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, the word "tai" may be the same as "tai". Is it not related to the name of prince?"
"Hehehe..."
Zheng Yi smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry about it, my beloved concubine. I have thought about this before, but so what?"
"I have ten sons, it's not certain who will be the crown prince."
"Maybe there will be more princes in the future, hahaha..."
Or maybe, there will only be a prince who lasts for a hundred years, or even a thousand years!
Concubine Qing's heart moved, and she immediately bowed her head and said in obedience: "I, my concubine, obey your Majesty's orders in everything."
"Okay!"
Zheng Yi touched her head again and said carefully: "My beloved, please rest first. I have other things to deal with."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
After leaving Changqing Palace and sending the queen away, Zheng Yi walked towards Bai Yujing.
He didn't notice the strange look in Lu Lin'er's eyes behind him.
"Tai? Doesn't this conflict with my Ji'er's position as the crown prince?"
"Your Majesty, is this unintentional or intentional?"
"Qing Fei's family is just a small official in the Ministry of Rites. What does your Majesty mean?"
Zheng Yi did not pay attention to the speculations of the people in the palace, but came to Bai Yujing and saw the body of Tuoba Qingtong sent back by Meng Guang.
In the main hall, there is a huge sarcophagus.
A navy messenger carefully waited on the side and said: "Your Majesty, this is the body of the monk that General Meng ordered us to send."
"We will use lime, green salt and other substances along the way to ensure that the body does not rot. Please check it with Your Majesty."
Zheng Yi said softly: "Open it."
"No!"
Several imperial guards came over and worked together to open the coffin.
A pungent smell came immediately. Zheng Yi waved his hand to disperse the smell and walked over.
Inside the sarcophagus, there was the corpse of a young man in his thirties.
The young man was wearing a green robe, his face was shocked, and his body was surrounded by a thick layer of lime and green salt.
Zheng Yi looked carefully and found a storage bag on his waist.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
"Your Majesty."
The messenger carefully took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it over respectfully.
"The flying sword contained in this box is this monk's flying sword. At that time, the monk was killed and the flying sword he used accidentally fell into Yunmengze. It took our soldiers three days and three nights to get it. Salvage it up.”
"Otherwise, this body would have been sent back a few days earlier."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Send it up."
"No!"
Liu Chengen walked over quickly, took the wooden box, and then handed it to Zheng Yi respectfully.
When I opened it, a faint puff of water vapor spread out.
After taking a closer look, sure enough, a flying sword about three inches long, blue in color and like crystal was lying in the wooden box.
"Flying Sword... This wave of spiritual energy seems to have no loss."
Zheng Yi murmured, but quickly thought of something.
Tuoba Qingtong was killed by the Blood Moon Gu at a very fast speed and had no time to resist.
Then this flying sword will naturally not suffer much wear and tear.
I don’t know what grade this flying sword is.
