Competing

Chapter 483
Mister men are queens!
The sudden decision made by the king of Yue set a standard for the queen candidate that has been raging recently.

Now the two wives are pregnant at the same time, and the time is about the same. According to the agreement of King Yue, whoever gives birth to a boy will become the queen.

If it is a man and a woman, the result cannot be questioned.If there are two boys, it is the long-term first.

If two daughters...

The King of Yue specifically mentioned all the concubines, which means that apart from the current two most popular ladies, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Ziye, other people are also possible.

There is no reason for everyone to refute such a decision. A child is more expensive than a mother. Now the four concubines of King Yue are all entrusted by his wife, and no one is more noble.

Because only the mother is more expensive than the son, after all, the significance and importance of boys to the country of Yue is self-evident.Moreover, the concept of the eldest son inheritance system has basically been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The wife of the first born boy is the queen, and the child is the undisputed eldest son. This is also a pleasure to see.

In Hongdu City, various speculations and bets have been started on the unborn son of the two wives.Yin Xu raised such a standard at this time, which undoubtedly added to the atmosphere, and everyone was very excited and concerned about it.

At the same time, it happened to block the mouths of some people, even if those who wanted to oppose it, or had other opinions, it was hard to say it.

Yin Xu thought this way before, but there was a doubt in his heart, whether Li Yuniang's baby was a boy?

What will Ying Ziye give birth to?Who the hell is Mr.
Xu Negative's reassurance by going with the flow made him understand that this matter really doesn't need to bother him too much, so let's take a gamble!
If Li Yuniang really has that fate, and his child can really be the emperor, then he has to stand the test.

To be my Yin Xu's son and heir, how can I do it without some good luck?
So Yin Xu boldly made such a decision, now it depends on luck, I hope Yuniang's stomach can be stronger!
Now everyone in the Yue Kingdom is looking forward to it, waiting for the two wives to come to fruition and give birth!

……

After attending the court meeting, Wei Liao returned to the mansion and heard his wife Ying Shiman complaining.

"Oh, Ziye's luck...how should I put it..."

Ying Shiman said: "When I was in Shanyin, I really wanted to have a child, but I never had it. Now I am lucky, but Mrs. Yu is pregnant at the same time!"

"This is a good thing!" Wei Liao comforted.

Ying Shiman shook his head and said: "What's the matter? If Ziye is the only one who is pregnant, it will be a special baby, but there will be competition between the two of them. Now there are rumors in the city, together with the small traders and the two wives. The son of a bet!"

"Of course I know!" Wei Liao said, "I'll tell you, it's even more lively now, the king of Yue has issued an edict today, and among the wives, which one will make a boy the queen!"

"Ah? Really?" Ying Shiman was startled.

"That's right!" Wei Liao nodded and said, "It was just announced during the court meeting just now, and it won't be long before the whole city knows about it."

Ying Shiman said: "So Ziye still has half the chance? From this point of view, this is a good thing. If Ziye can give birth to a boy, it will be the most perfect thing, and the road to queen will be smooth. I was worried before Well... now the only hope is that Ziye's stomach can live up to expectations and give birth to a boy sooner!"

Wei Liao sighed, "I think it's best for Ziye to have a daughter!"

Ying Shiman's face darkened, and she asked, "Old man, what are you talking about? This is about Queen Ziye, why do you..."

Wei Liao shook his head and said: "Today I understand it, do you know why King Yue made such a decision today..."

"Why?" Ying Shiman asked immediately.

Wei Liao said: "He's also betting, he's betting that Li Yuniang will have a boy compared to Mr. Ziye, he has no other choice!"

"What bet? Explain something..." Ying Shiman was a little confused.

Wei Liao said: "The current state of Yue is not what it used to be. The Qin faction in the state of Yue is too powerful. If Zi Ye becomes queen again, it will be too huge. This is what the King of Yue does not want to see. But now Ziye is pregnant, and he is worried that we will support Ziye to take the post, in order to shut our mouths first, and it is also a good opportunity to cut off our thoughts."

"Is that so, that means that Ziye is no longer destined to be a queen?" Ying Shiman couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and said, "But the King of Yue has already ordered that the one who gives birth to a boy will be the queen. If Ziye gives birth to a boy, wouldn't it be..."

Wei Liao smiled wryly: "That's why I don't want Ziye to give birth to a boy and become queen. Otherwise, many things will be troublesome in the future, and it will be of no benefit to anyone..."

Ying Shiman sat helplessly on the spot, the enthusiasm in her heart suddenly cooled...

……

During the period when the Yue State moved its capital, the north was also quite uneasy.

Since last winter, the Chu and Han countries have begun to fight in the Central Plains.Especially after the beginning of spring, when the earth warmed up, the two armies really began to fight, and the fight in the Central Plains was fierce.

Pengcheng Chu Palace, when Xiang Yu walked into the garden, a beautiful young woman was walking in the garden with a child in her arms.

"Concubine Yu, Long'er!"

The young woman is none other than Xiang Yu's former favorite concubine, Yu Ji, who is now the Queen of Chu.

As for the child in Yu Ji's arms, it is their son Xiang Long.Concubine Yu gave birth to a boy last year, Fan Zeng could no longer stop Xiang Yu, and formally proclaimed Concubine Yu the Queen.As for the child's name, Xiang Yu hoped that this child would bring prosperity to the Western Chu Kingdom, so he chose such a name.Not surprisingly, this child is of course the heir of the West Chu Kingdom.

"Overlord!"

"Come on, Long'er, give father a hug!"

Xiang Yu stretched out his hand, took the child from Yu Ji's arms and held the child in his arms lovingly...

Xiang Long's half-year-old child is now held in Xiang Yu's arms, giggling, innocent and even cute.

When Xiang Yu saw his son, he showed his fatherly feelings, concern and love on his face.At this time, the image of the legendary overlord of Western Chu who killed people without batting an eyelid and was furious and mighty could not be seen at all, which is enough to see the changes this child brought to Xiang Yu.

"Yu Ji, the widow came to tell you... the widow has to go to war!"

The conquest of the Han Dynasty has been fully launched, and his command is really needed on the frontal battlefield, so I have to say goodbye to my lovely wife and children and leave.

Concubine Yu nodded and said: "Overlord, state affairs are the most important thing, you go! The concubine will take good care of Long'er!"

"En!" Xiang Yu nodded slightly, and said, "Take care of the child, and wait for the widow to return in triumph!"

Yu Ji immediately took her son into her arms, raised her little hand and said, "Say goodbye to the father. Long'er and the queen mother are waiting for the father's triumphant return in Pengcheng!"

Xiang Yu glanced at his wife and children again, turned and left, quite reluctant to part!
After leaving the palace gate, Xiang Zhuang immediately came over and reported: "Overlord, there is news from Jiangdong!"

"Oh? How should I say it?" Upon hearing the news from Jiangdong, Xiang Yu naturally took it seriously.

Xiang Zhuang said: "Yin Xu changed Shanyin's name to Shaoxing, and now the capital has been officially moved!"

Shao... Xing... Xiang Yu's name of Shao/Xinghou appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Once upon a time, he fought side by side with Yin Xu, and they were also very close, but now...

Consecutive... rising... Yin Xu's renaming of the old capital at this time is definitely not a whim, and there must be some deep meaning.The literal meaning may be the best explanation!
"Is there any change in the Yue army?" Xiang Yu sneered, and then asked.

Xiang Zhuang replied: "That's not true. It seems that the Vietnamese army has been reorganizing and training now. However, since last winter, the Yue State has conducted another conscription. Now there are tens of thousands of troops. In addition, Wuling Man's 3 Thousands of people have joined us, and now the Vietnamese army has 18 troops!"

"18!" Xiang Yu smiled lightly, a bit bitterly!The strength of Yue State can already rival that of Western Chu State. At the same time, Xiang Yu is also very puzzled, what is so extraordinary about Yin Xu that he can so easily persuade Wulingman to surrender to him, alas!
Xiang Yu immediately asked: "By the way, have you reported these things to Father Ya?"

"Not yet, it's very strange, Yafu didn't go to the side hall where the government was discussed on schedule, and he didn't send someone to report, it's a little strange!" Xiang Zhuang replied doubtfully, scratching his head.

"What?" Fan Zeng has always been a very punctual and responsible person, what happened today?
Xiang Yu said: "Let's go and have a look!"

When the two came to Fan Zeng's residence, the door was closed tightly, and several guards were standing on the steps outside the door!
"Is Yafu there?" Xiang Yu asked from a distance.

"Report to Overlord, Yafu will meet you in the room, and ordered that no one should disturb you..."

"How long has it been?"

"It's been a long time!"

Xiang Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, rushed to the door in two steps, pushed the door open and entered.

The overlord came in person, and the guards naturally couldn't stop him.

"Didn't you just say that no one is allowed to come in?" Fan Zeng's angry scolding came from the room.

"Father!"

Hearing the shouts from outside, Fan Zeng's voice froze suddenly, and after a while he said, "Yu'er, why are you here?"

"Yafu, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Yu asked softly.

Fan Zeng said: "I'm getting older, I need to rest for a while, don't come in, I'll come out later!"

There was a hint of doubt in Xiang Yu's eyes, and he pushed the inner room open without hesitation. The moment he entered the room, Xiang Yu's eyes were a little moist.

He clearly saw Fan Yafu lying on the couch, struggling to get up from the couch, the brocade quilt on the couch was still stained with blood.Fan Zeng's old face was even paler, looking very weak.

Xiang Yu was immediately anxious: "Yafu, your gangrene has flared up? Why didn't you tell Yu'er?"

Xiang Yu already knew what happened. Fan Zeng had been suffering from back gangrene all along, but he had controlled it well before. He didn't expect it to flare up again at this juncture of sending troops to war with Han!
