Han Shizu

Chapter 563 Bian will leave Beijing and get another son

It's just the beginning of autumn, although it's not obvious yet, the flowers, trees, insects and birds in the palace garden have already been stained with a thin layer of autumn.The autumn sun shines on the body through the mottled leaves, which already brings warmth. Looking at the beautiful scenery, the heart is relaxed and happy.

Liu Chengyou was dressed in a military uniform, with a small belly protruding, and he sighed with refreshment: "This difficult summer is finally over!"

Between the gardens is a wide and flat grass field with a wide field of vision, where Liu Chengyou is practicing archery.The target is set ten feet away, not too far away, if you shoot ten arrows in a row, only six or seven of them will hit, and the one that hits the bull's-eye will never get a single arrow.

The accompanying trainers are Yang Ye, an envoy of the Dingxiang Army who returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and Li Wanchao, an envoy of the Ninghua Army.After another round of practice, Liu Chengyou put away the carved bow, moved his somewhat sore arms, and said, "Let's call it a day today!"

He took the towel, wiped his face, and wiped his hands. He sat down on the prepared table, drank some water, looked at Li Wanchao and Yang Ye who came over, and said, "I have also practiced arrows for many years. This archery skill has always been Difficult to master, far inferior to the two of you!"

"Your Majesty has the whole world in mind, and what he excels at is governing the country and the imperial generals. He spends his nights in clothes and eats food, and takes care of all kinds of opportunities. With this kind of archery, he is already outstanding!" Li Wanchao laughed, defending the emperor's archery from the side.

Yang Ye also said, with a serious expression: "What General Li said is very true. The last general has waited for a long time to experience the army. He is good at the army. He is good at bowing horses, riding and shooting. , Contribute to the great man!"

"It's part of the military general's relentless bow and horse. If there are generals like this, why worry about border troubles, why worry about the world's injustice!" Liu Chengyou smiled lightly, looking at Yang Ye with love and appreciation as always: "But listen carefully. In your words, this desire to make contributions is just about to move!"

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch!" Yang Ye bowed respectfully, "You can see through the general's thoughts at a glance!"

Yang Ye has been in the garrison for many years, and has made many meritorious deeds, but the merits are small. With the peace talks between the Han and Liao, the frontier conflicts have diminished. Hearing that the Han Dynasty was conquering the South and the West, his dedication to meritorious deeds was indeed a bit uncontrollable.

"It's a good thing to be aggressive, but you still need to sharpen your mind, don't rush!" Liu Chengyou looked deeply, picked up two pears on the fruit plate, threw them to the two of them, and said calmly: "I will reorganize the soldiers and horses in the east of the river, set The three armies of Xiang, Ninghua, and Baoning are in the north of Shanxi. Let you specialize in leading the army and training. What is the plan? Opening up the frontier and expanding the land is merit, and protecting the land and the people is also merit. ,be patient!"

"Yes! Your Majesty's teachings will never be forgotten!" Yang Ye said.

"How about the carved bow you used just now?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Li Wanchao replied: "Excellent craftsmanship, strong and powerful, a good bow!"

"This is a new bow made by a famous craftsman of the Military Weapons Supervisor. Ten of the best bows are selected and donated!" Liu Chengyou said, "I think it's a pity that such a good bow and sharp weapon should be left in the palace treasury. It should be held in the hands of heroes." , to show your abilities! You can each choose one!"

"Also, I will give each of you a set of fine armor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li and Yang immediately thanked each other.As a military official, with a good bow and precious armor, there is no one who does not love, especially armor. On the battlefield, it is almost a second life.

Liu Chengyou also took a pear himself, bit it off, the juice splashed, and said: "You have been in Beijing for more than a month!"

"Exactly!"

"Although Tokyo is bustling, I can't let you hang around any longer. If you don't spare the trouble and clean up, then return to Yanmen and Kelan to go to the north!" Liu Chengyou put on a smile on his mouth.

"Obey!" The two didn't hesitate at all.

"It's bitter cold in the north, and it's also important to defend the border, please!" Liu Chengyou straightened up, his tone and demeanor became solemn.

"Officials, the Qiuhua Palace came to report, saying that the concubine is going to give birth soon!" At this time, a servant came to report in a hurry.

Hearing the news, Liu Chengyou's face suddenly brightened, and he said to Li Wanchao and Yang Ye: "There is something in the palace, so I will not specially hold a farewell banquet with you, report to the Ministry of War, and then you can go to the side to take office!"

"Yes!" The two replied, but Li Wanchao chuckled lightly, "I would like to congratulate Your Majesty in advance on the birth of your son!"

"I accept it!" Waving his hands at the two, Liu Chengyou hurried away.

Inside and outside the Qiuhua Palace, it was busy again. The childbirth was like a ghostly gate. Although Zhe Niang had a second child and was always in good health, it was still worrying.

Except for the Empress Dowager and Empress who came to accompany her, the other concubines in the harem, especially Concubine Fu Hui, who was first pregnant, were ordered by Liu Chengyou to live in their own palace.Weiji, father and son Zhe Congruan and Zhe Dejian who heard the news, also hurried over.Compared with the emperor, the father and son were obviously more nervous. Hearing the painful groans from the delivery room, their faces were full of anxiety.

Liu Chengyou's expression was calm, and there was no abnormality in his face, but he kept wandering in the hall, his steps were very steady, but it had lasted for nearly an hour.

"Erlang, let's sit down for a while!" Empress Fu stepped forward to lightly shake his hand under the gesture of Empress Dowager Li.

The softness and warmth from his hands finally calmed down Liu Chengyou's mind. He sat down with his robe lifted, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

"Er Gong, sit down, too!" Liu Chengyou looked at the Zhe family father and son who were also standing, and ordered, then a little sullen, and said to the waiter in the hall, "Why don't you serve Er Gong a drink!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhe's father and son thanked him.

After about half an hour, there was finally a crisp baby cry from the inner room, and most of the people present breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the concubine Xian gave birth to a prince, both mother and child are safe!"

After receiving this report, I was really happy, and there were endless congratulations.Liu Chengyou was also rare, with a happy smile, waved his sleeves, and laughed loudly: "All rewards!"

Zhejia father and son looked at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes, they are another prince!
In July and autumn of the fifth year of Qianyou, Xianfei Zheshi gave birth to a son, the fifth son of the emperor, who was named Yun by the emperor.

In the Qiuhua Palace, Liu Chengyou gently teased the baby wrapped in soft brocade, with a smile on his mouth, and the fourth son Liu Fang, with his calf, followed closely at his father's feet.Nearly two years old, he can already trot, but he is unsteady, holding Liu Chengyou's calf from time to time.

Zhe Niangzi lay quietly on the couch, she was obviously fatter again, although she still looked weak, her complexion recovered somewhat.Liu Chengyou stepped forward, sat on the side of the couch, and said: "You are fighting for your stomach, and add another Liner to me!"

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhe Niang said jokingly: "Don't the officials want the emperor's daughter?"

"Hey! Whether it's male or female, they are all of my blood, and I like them all!" Liu Chengyou's face was gentle.

During the conversation, the infant baby started crying again. Liu Chengyou tried to coax him, but it didn't work, but it became louder. He helplessly looked at Zhe Niangzi asking for help, and handed the baby to her: "This child, why is he crying so much?"

"I think back then, Shiro, I didn't cry no matter how much I struggled! Right!" As he spoke, he looked down at little Liu Fang who was still leaning on his knees, only to see that the boy was wiping his nose with his dragon robe.

Seeing this, Liu Chengyou glared at him. Not only was this kid not afraid when he saw him, he even changed to a clean place and wiped his face.
"You kid, how dare you use my dragon robe as a towel!" Liu Chengyou stretched out his hand, pinched his little face, and said with a smile, "When you grow up, you will definitely not be a law-abiding master!"

Liu Fang smiled at Liu Chengyou: "Daddy, hug me!"

After hearing this, the lady said angrily: "I don't know what to do, so the officials still care about it!"

Picking up Liu Fang, the boy climbed onto Liu Chengyou's shoulder, and easily suppressed him. Liu Chengyou turned his head to look at Zhe Niangzi.The fifth son stopped crying, and was concentrating on the unbuttoned lapel of Zhe Niangzi, sucking with his eyes closed, and unconsciously grasping the other half.
Nothing, just a meal of milk, can't solve it.

Soon, he ordered the wet nurse to take the second child down, and helped the lady cover the quilt with her own hands, pretending to mutter.

"The official has something to say, let's just say it!" Seeing his expression, the lady asked.

"The woman has been in Beijing for a long time. The Baoning Army can't serve as a general for a long time. It needs a Dianjun. She is familiar with the border affairs and the situation of the government. I plan to send the woman back to the north!" Liu Chengyou said.

Hearing this, the lady replied: "This is the military affairs of the imperial court. Although my father is involved, I don't need to know my concubine."

Liu Chengyou lightly pressed his hand and said, "Your father and daughter have not seen each other for many years, and you gave birth not long ago."

"It's enough to get the understanding of the officials!" The lady smiled.

"Take good care of yourself and recover your body! I want you to accompany me to hunt this autumn!" Liu Chengyou was obviously satisfied with the lady's attitude, and smiled at him.

As Liu Chengyou sent Li Wanchao, Yang Ye, and Zhe Dejian back to the trilateral army envoys one after another, the reform of the Hedong military system has come to an end.And Zhao Kuangyin, who had been in Hedong for three months, also returned after completing his mission, and selected five thousand elite soldiers from Hedong in full.

In Guanzhong, Xiang Xun, the Southwest Metropolitan Supervisor, was ordered to rectify the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong Prefecture Town.After Weiji, Liu Chengyou issued another edict to go to Fengxiang to assist in military training with Wang Jing, Duke of Bohai County, as the training envoy.
