June has come in a blink of an eye.

Empress Wei was about to give birth to the prince.

"It's wrong to calculate the time. Last October, Mr. Zhao was taken as a concubine and was taken to the palace as a saint at the end of November. This is the time. This prince doesn't match the month."

"I heard that this child is full term and not premature."

"hiss!"

In a restaurant in Luoyang School City, several students were drinking and chatting, but they were talking about a new event in Luoyang City today.

Empress Wei gave birth to a prince, but those who are interested have calculated that the time is wrong. Since the emperor invited her to the palace, it has only been seven months since she was introduced to the palace. However, rumors have been said that the prince was given birth in full term and not a premature baby.

After doing this, this child is not the emperor, but it should be the former King Li Jue of Zhao who was deposed as a commoner and then beheaded in half. When Li Jue entered the capital to the court, he met Wei at Wulao Pass, and then went to Wei's party to propose marriage and included in the royal palace. The time was October. Calculated the time, it happened to be the full term of the child.

"Hey, this is a strange story in the world. It's nothing that the emperor forced the emperor's concubine into Miyamoto, but why did he even make such a thing happen?"

"Will this be the prince or grandson now?"

Someone was gloating, "If this second prince is still there, what should I call him at this time? Call me brother or an elder?"

"Hahaha."

Since the incident in Xuecheng last year and the incident with the Six Gentlemen, countless students in Xuecheng and scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam have some resentment towards the emperor.

After almost a month of trouble, the six gentlemen who led the leadership were imprisoned and deprived of their academic status and fame. In addition, more than 3,000 students and more than 1,000 juren were arrested and imprisoned. They were finally removed from their academic status and fame and fortune, and even hundreds of people were exiled.

Not only these are affected, but the examinations in this spring were cancelled, and even all the imperial examinations in this subject were abolished, and the children, scholars, and juren who were admitted before were also abolished.

How many students studied hard and finally passed the exam, but the result was this.

Who is not angry?

Those students and juren who participated in Luoyang School City also all wrote records and recorded one decree.

Although the students raised their arms and couldn't resist their thighs, their anger was still accumulating. Now that such a thing happened, everyone was spreading the jokes in an active and secret manner.

Last year, many people blamed the emperor and brought Wei to this matter, and they felt pity for Su, Prince Xiang and others.

Now that Wei has given birth to a child, what happened to everyone, how can they be unhappy?

In the previous trends, the Qin family was also hit hard. Originally, Qin Qiong and Qin Lang had a good reputation. One was a founding hero, who was praised as the number one general of the Tang Dynasty. He also had the titles of Heavenly King, Sect God, God of War and other titles, and was also known as loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous.

Not to mention Qin Lang, this man went in and out of the court, and he led the army to conquer the Tang Dynasty many times. The most important thing is that he led the reform of the new policy of Zhenguan, which is now rich in the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is scholars, literati, merchants, craftsmen, or peasants, who will not benefit or benefit?

Qin Qiong and Qin Lang are not the kind of people who are greedy for power and take credit for merit. They often retreat bravely, unlike Yuchi Gong and Qiu Xinggong Hou Junji, who are arrogant and proud of their achievements. They don’t know how much they deserve.

In the last tide, the two concubines of the Qin family were demoted to common people, the eight princes and five princesses were demoted to deposed people, and the six sons of Qin Qiong were also expelled from the people, which of course attracted everyone to sympathy.

So contrary to his unanimous dissatisfaction with the Wei family, after experiencing the last time, the Qin family now has a better reputation among the people.

Nowadays, the reserve position is empty, and many people actually hope to make Qin King Li Xian the crown prince.

Because the fourth prince Li Xian is now the longest-lived prince, the eldest son Li Xiang has been the crown prince for fourteen years, but he still ended up being beheaded in half. Although the second prince Li Jue had no ambitions and no ability, he did not escape the disaster even though his concubine gave it to the emperor.

The third prince, Yi Li, died prematurely.

But because Wei was the queen, the son of Wei was more qualified to be a culprit. But now it is reported that Wei's son belonged to Zhao Shuren, so naturally he was not qualified.

Many people even secretly connected and encouraged each other, intending to take this opportunity to make Wei Wu and destroy him.

At that time, we just took the opportunity to ask the Emperor of Qin to be the emperor and the King of Qin Li Xian to be the crown prince.

······

"Why haven't Your Majesty come yet?"

In Honghui Palace, Empress Wei, who had just given birth, was still weak, and her aunt, Concubine Wei, also helped to take care of her in the palace. Wei had given birth to several children and was quite experienced, but she couldn't laugh with the little baby in her arms.

This child is very healthy and weighs nine pounds when born. He grows white and fat, with black hair all over, long and black.

The crying sounds loudly and the breastfeeding is very energetic.

At this time, after eating, you don’t cry or make a fuss, and you will fall asleep sweetly.

This was originally a healthy and cute child, but Wei Chenfei sighed in her heart. If we counted the time when Empress Wei entered the palace, even if Chengxing had just entered the palace, it should have been less than seven months now, and it would not have been so good.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this child must belong to the second prince.

Concubine Wei Chen even felt that the child's appearance was very similar to the second prince, which made her feel frightened.

This child has only been three days since he was born, but now it has been full of storms in Luoyang.

There are all kinds of discussions. The Wei family members have already reminded them more than once by taking advantage of the opportunity to let their female relatives enter the palace to visit the queen and children.

The emperor hasn't seen it once.

Concubine Wei Chen sent people to invite the emperor more than once, but the emperor always said he was busy with government affairs.

"The saint is discussing military affairs with the rulings of the Privy Council and has no time to leave."

The emperor did not come, and there was no reward at all.

Queen Wei lay on the couch with a pale face, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Concubine Chen handed the child to a wet nurse and asked her to carry the child to sleep. Then she came over to the queen and sat down, whispering, "You can't cry during the confinement period, otherwise the disease will be left behind."

"What should I do?" Queen Wei cried.

Concubine Chen looked at Empress Wei. She must have known this matter for a long time, but no one told her from beginning to end, deliberately concealing it, but now it caught everyone off guard.

However, Concubine Chen did not think that Empress Wei was smart. In this harem, she could not escape the emperor's control. The concubines were recorded in the archives when they were pregnant, and they would review and check the files after they became pregnant. After Empress Wei became pregnant, the medical skills of the imperial doctors could clearly calculate the pregnancy time.

Therefore, all this should be under the control of the emperor.

But the emperor still gave birth to the child.

No one can guess the emperor's thoughts, but now, this child is definitely not a good thing for Empress Wei or the entire Wei family.

The Wei family can claim that the child was born prematurely, but it could not deceive the emperor or everyone who could see the child. This nine-pound big fat boy is definitely not as good as a premature baby in July.

······

"The child is so cute, big fat boy."

"Look at the black and long hair, the black eyes are big and round."

After receiving the invitation from Empress Wei, the Qin sisters came to Honghui Palace. The two sisters praised the child, and Wei kept asking them to hug the child and tease him.

"The queen has just given birth and is weak and needs more rest. We won't disturb you much today and come to visit you later."

The imperial concubine Qin Shu handed the child back to Wei.

Qin Wan also said, "The child is hungry and needs to eat milk."

Qin Shu asked the entourage palace servants to bring up the prepared gifts, but nine special baby-washing money, including gold, silver and copper, each of which was 99 pieces, wishing healthy growth. There is also a set of jade pendants and poetry books, which is also a good wish.

The gifts Qin Wan gave were almost the same.

"Come again next day."

Empress Wei and Concubine Wei were specially sent to the front of the palace gate.

······

"ah!"

In Honghui Hall, a cry suddenly came out.

"Come on, I will pass on the imperial doctor!"

······

Xuanzheng Hall.

Emperor Li Yin was discussing affairs with several Privy Councillors, talking about the Battle of the Southern Expedition. Wang Xuance held the seal of General of the Southern Expedition, and was appointed as the general of the Piaoyue Road marching commander, leading troops to conquer the Piao Kingdom.

Not long ago, a war broke out with the Piao Army in Songyan Valley of the Piao Kingdom. The battle report was presented that Wang Xuance commanded three thousand elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, eight hundred elephants, and Yongchang, Lishui, Tonghai, and Erhai. He fought with the Piao Army.

King Piao personally led a large army, and his troops dispatched a total of 12,000 cavalry, 2,800 battle elephants, and 60,000 infantry.

This battle also brought the country to the Piao Kingdom, and the king personally fought for it.

However, Wang Xuance had already had countermeasures. He had been dividing troops and light cavalry to attack the Piao Kingdom, and led the Piao Kingdom to take the initiative to attack. However, Wang Xuance had already established many beacon fortresses on the front line of the border, built good fortress fortifications, and reserved sufficient food, grass and equipment.

Even the battlefield was chosen by Wang Xuance in advance.

Step by step, he introduced the Piao Army into the preset battlefield. In the final decisive battle, the Piao Kingdom relied on the numerous and fierce elephants to launch a fierce attack on the Tang army front. At the beginning of the battle, Wang Xuance first lured the Piao Kingdom to attack with his cavalry, and then pretended to be frightened and retreated step by step, luring the Elephant Army to escape from the Piao Army formation.

Then the elephant army of the Piao Kingdom was introduced into the jungle. At this time, the archers who had long been ambushing the big trees in the forest shot the elephant with a rocket of the magic machine.

These arrows are tied to rockets, which can increase the range without any boost when launched, and can also explode, making loud noises and flames.

They also buried landmines in the woods, etc.

When the two thousand eight battle elephants of the Piao Kingdom led thousands of elephant soldiers to chase the Tang cavalry into the forest, they attacked in groups. Rockets flew around and mines detonated one after another.

It was earth-shaking, and the sky was filled with fire.

The elephant pet in the Piao Kingdom was huge and heavy. Although he had been trained, he had never seen such a person.

He was frightened and panicked. The war elephants in the Piao Kingdom were shot in large numbers in the jungle, while the other elephants were frightened and ran around.

Finally, he was driven away by the Tang cavalry and fled out of the jungle, and was driven toward the army of infantry and cavalry in the Piao Kingdom that was following behind.
