Chapter 41: Doubt to prevent guesses from entering the palace [Thanks to easy ten rings
So far, Li Zhiyun has four sons and two daughters, namely Li Chengjing, the eldest son born to the Yin family, Li Chengyan, the second son born to Huaiyang, Li Chenglie, the third son born to Wei Gui, the fourth son just born to Princess Chu, and the eldest daughter.
Baoniang, Li Shuner, the eldest daughter of a concubine.
Starting from the second year of Wude, Li Zhiyun basically had one child a year.
Not long after, the three women, Wei Gui, Huaiyang, and Yin, came in with their children to congratulate Princess Chu on the birth of her legitimate son.
The sisters talked and laughed and were quite harmonious.
Wei Gui asked with a smile: "Sister, have you decided on a name for the baby?"
The Princess of Chu said as a matter of course: "Your Majesty is about to return to the court with his troops, so it is up to you to decide on the matter."
The names of several children were chosen by Li Zhiyun himself, and the same was naturally true for his legitimate son. After having a son, Yang's state of mind also changed, and she was still unclear about the specific changes.
Mrs. Yin looked at her infant legitimate son with complicated expressions in her eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking. In the past, she was still complacent about giving birth to the eldest son for the king. However, as Chengyan, Chenglie and other children were born one after another, the feeling in her heart
The joy is gone too.
At this moment, Concubine Wan Gui arrived.
"Meet my grandma."
"Kowtow to grandma."
The daughters-in-law saluted her one after another, and several grandchildren also knelt down and kowtowed obediently. Concubine Wan Gui looked graceful, said "no courtesy", and helped her grandchildren one by one. Soon she sat next to Princess Chu and hugged her.
child.
"The little guy is so strong, just like he was when he was born." Concubine Wan Gui smiled happily while holding her grandson.
She only has a son, Li Zhiyun, so she naturally remembers very clearly what her son was like when he was first born. Now that she sees that her grandson looks very much like her son, she is extremely happy.
In the past, she was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law Yang's inability to give birth to a boy. It was her fault that her daughter-in-law was not jealous and allowed her son to take concubines and give birth to several grandchildren. She was afraid that she could not help but beat her.
Now that Princess Chu has given birth to a son, the shortcomings in her eyes have become advantages.
Princess Chu is sensible and filial, she manages the palace in an orderly manner, and she is not jealous. She is really a good daughter-in-law.
After looking at her grandson for a while, Concubine Wan Gui ordered the female officials in the palace to present the rewards one by one to Princess Chu.
"The Night Pearl of the East China Sea, Sichuan Brocade, Jade Bi and other treasures are specially given to you by the Saint from this palace."
Princess Chu was smart and understood quickly.
"It's all because the king has made great contributions to the court, and I feel guilty about it."
Concubine Wan Gui was very pleased with her daughter-in-law's cleverness. She said, "You can accept it with peace of mind. This time Wu Lang has made great achievements, and you have given birth to a son for Wu Lang. It is natural for you to receive some rewards."
"Yes, I would like to thank my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Yin and others were a little envious. When they gave birth to their son, the rewards in the palace were not as good as those given to Princess Chu this time.
Not to mention saints, even if Concubine Wan Gui gave it to Princess Chu, it was much more than what was given to them.
In September, the army crossed Pujin Pass, entered Jingzhao, and stationed in Weinan.
At this time, the palace servants sent an order to temporarily allow the army to rest in Weinan, and at the same time ordered the clan generals Changping King Li Shuliang and Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan to come and reward the three armies.
"Uncle Emperor, you have a lot of people here this time." The prince squinted his eyes and looked at the Zuo Xiaowei soldiers behind Li Shuliang. There were hundreds of them.
Li Shuliang laughed and said: "To be fair to the prince, after defeating Jie Li this time, the sons of Zuo Xiaowei admired the prince and the two highnesses very much, and they all rushed to come and see the heroic appearance of these two highnesses.
, I can’t refuse either, hahaha.”
"Really?" The prince grinned.
Immediately, Li Shuliang read out the imperial edict.
There was no need to express the words of commendation, and there was no mention of specific rewards. This made everyone wonder why the saint suddenly became so stingy and only gave verbal encouragement.
Li Shuliang explained: "His Royal Highness, the King of Chu, the King of Qi, the saint said that he misses you very much and wants to see you as soon as possible. By the way..."
At this point, Li Shuliang paused slightly and continued: "He also wants to see King Qin as soon as possible."
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood that the saint planned to wait until the great dynasty to reward the three armies.
Li Jiancheng nodded, "That's right. I wonder when Father wants us to leave?"
"The sooner the better." After Li Shuliang finished speaking, he added: "Your Highness, because of the death of King Qin, the saint has been in poor health recently, and he is also worried about you. After all, King Qin has left, and he wants to see with his own eyes whether you are
Safe and sound. As for the rewards, you don't have to worry. When I come, the saint asked me to tell you that during the mid-month dynasty, he will announce the rewards for the three armies, so don't worry."
"Yes." Li Jiancheng nodded.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun and others dispersed, preparing to return to Chang'an with Li Shuliang.
This time, Li Shuliang was responsible for taking the prince and others into the palace to meet the saint, while Li Daoxuan was responsible for rewarding the three armies.
Before Li Zhiyun could take two steps, Li Shuliang stepped forward to hold him, smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, Wulang."
"What do you mean, Uncle Emperor?" Li Zhiyun was confused, but he immediately realized what he was doing, and couldn't help but secretly blame Li Shuliang for not knowing the occasion and talking nonsense. Although he also knew that he had made a great contribution this time, he didn't have to do it in front of the Crown Prince and King Qi.
Congratulations, Li Zhiyun doesn’t want to do exciting things now.
Not far away, the prince and King Qi stopped one after another and listened carefully. They also wanted to know what reward King Chu would receive this time. After all, King Chu's achievements cannot be denied.
Therefore, Li Zhiyun said with a smile: "It was really the eldest brother's strategizing that defeated Jie Li. Zhiyun only exerted a little effort."
Li Shuliang was stunned and said: "You misunderstood. When I came, Queen Wan in the palace asked me to tell you that Princess Chu gave birth to a son for you."
Li Zhiyun's pupils shrank, and he was immediately overjoyed, "Really?!"
Li Shuliang smiled and said: "Of course it is true."
"Congratulations, Your Highness." Du Ruhui and others raised their hands in congratulations.
When the prince and the king of Qi heard this, they also gathered around to congratulate the king of Chu.
Li Zhiyun couldn't help but wish he could grow wings and fly back immediately. He had promised his wife that he would come back to see the child born, but he didn't expect that he had broken the contract. But fortunately, his wife gave birth to a son!
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun felt relieved.
"Thank you very much."
After the incident, Li Zhiyun returned to the camp to clean up briefly before preparing to return to Chang'an with Li Shuliang.
Midway, Du Ruhui stopped him.
"What's wrong Keming?"
Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, Chang'an is right in front of us, but the saint asked us to station in Weinan and only summoned a few princes to the palace. This matter should not be taken carelessly."
Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Du Ruhui said: "Obviously, the saint suspected that there was something wrong with King Qin's death. That's why he asked King Changping to take several of his highnesses into the palace to meet the saint. He also asked King Huaiyang to reward the army for the purpose of monitoring and preventing unexpected events."
Li Zhiyun's face slowly stiffened and he said, "You mean, my father is worried about the rebellion between the crown prince and the King of Qi, so he plans to strike first?"
"Not necessarily." Du Ruhui said: "The death of King Qin is unclear, and the prince is responsible for supporting Bingzhou. It is normal for the saint to have doubts because he does not know the truth. His subordinates guessed that the saint was just on guard against the prince's sudden movements. This time he entered
Palace, as long as your Majesty is careful, you should be fine."
Li Zhiyun pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I will remember it."
Du Ruhui followed: "Let Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong follow His Highness, it will be safer this way."
"Yeah." Li Zhiyun nodded.
