There will definitely be turmoil, and people may die, but these are not important.
"Death after being convicted shows that they themselves are guilty, and there is nothing wrong with punishing the guilty."
Cao Cao said slowly: "And now that the Han clan clan has no real power, it is impossible to launch any threatening riots. If we really want to launch a riot, it will only be based on the facts and increase the possibility of being killed. What I am worried about is not
this."
"oh?"
Yan Wen whispered: "What is Mengde worried about?"
"What I'm worried about is that the number of Han clan members is too small, making it difficult for the royal family to defend themselves."
Cao Cao looked at Yan Wen and said: "According to the emperor's wishes, it seems that he does not intend to choose anyone among the existing relatives to make kings and marquises. If all the existing Liu family princes and marquises are sent away,
, then the power of the clan will be greatly weakened, and it may still take time for Your Majesty’s own clan power to develop and grow.”
"Are you worried about this?"
Yan Wen was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was not a particularly strange thing, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, since His Majesty has made such a decision, he must have some ideas, and if nothing else,
, Your Majesty has ten sons, and they are all quite healthy now, so don’t worry too much."
What Yan Wen said was indeed true, so Cao Cao thought about it and felt that his worries were indeed a bit unfounded. In addition to the brothers Liu Shen and Liu Ze, Liu Bei also had five other sons who were over five years old.
There are seven sons who are over five years old. No matter how unlucky they are, all seven sons will not be lost, right?
But really speaking, the mortality rate of children these days is still very high.
Although his family was rich and could afford the best doctors and the most expensive medicinal materials, Cao Cao himself had already lost two sons and a daughter, both of whom died when they were young, which made Cao Cao very sad for a time.
.
But Liu Bei is very lucky. His ten sons and eight daughters are all alive and kicking, and none of them died in infancy. Many officials in the court were amazed, thinking that this was one of the manifestations of Liu Bei's destiny.
.
Currently, in addition to Queen Han Ning, there are three other nobles who are also pregnant, which means four children are still growing in their mother's belly. In the next year, Liu Bei will have four more children.
That adds up to twenty-two.
It can be seen that Liu Bei's fertility is very good. With such a strong fertility, there is really no need to worry about the insufficient number of royals in the future and no one to defend the royal family.
So Cao Cao and Yan Wen stopped talking about this matter.
It is true that if Liu Bei wants to make a very important change to the old royal system, he must have enough royal children to defend him. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince his ministers that he can successfully inherit his status and power.
If Liu Bei's status and power cannot be passed down smoothly, how can ministers like them ensure that their status and power are protected?
What if one day Liu Bei's descendants become extinct, no one can be emperor, and the Second Han Empire is restored?
Then they, the heroes of the Third Reich, will become rebellious by then and will be purged.
Therefore, if Liu Bei does not have strong fertility and enough heirs, his officials will be very worried about their future, and they may not resolutely support all the undertakings he needs to accomplish.
It can only be said that Liu Bei's strong fertility gave everyone a certain degree of confidence.
Speaking of which, Liu Bei's reasons and confidence for taking action against the old clan were various. Among them, his strong fertility and the increasing number of offspring were also one of his confidences.
The eldest son Liu Shen and the second son Liu Ze were both born in the sixth year of Guanghe's reign. Now both brothers are eleven years old and can basically enter the juvenile level of the school for further study.
These are his first two sons.
Later, due to job transfers, Han Ning and Han Xiaodie got pregnant with their second child after a while. Han Ning gave birth to their third son, Liu Han, and Han Xiaodie gave birth to their eldest daughter, Liu Wan. These two children
They are both eight years old.
Later, Liu Bei married many concubines. During the year, the concubines became pregnant one after another and gave birth to three daughters and one son.
Gong Qin gave birth to the second daughter Liu Miao, Gong Ling gave birth to the third daughter Liu He, Gai Ning gave birth to the fourth son Liu Tao, and Cao Hui gave birth to the fourth daughter Liu Yue. All four children are seven years old this year.
Later, around the time when Liu Bei, Yuan Wei, and He Jin started their decisive battle, Liu Bei had no time to get along with his wives and concubines. It was not until Liu Hong died of illness and Liu Bei was promoted to general and took real power that he was able to continue to spend time with his wives and concubines.
The time when they were in close contact was also a time when he was under great pressure and worked harder.
During that period, the wives and concubines became pregnant successfully and gave birth to children one after another.
Han Ning and Han Xiaodie gave birth to a daughter and a son again. Liu Bei's fifth legitimate daughter Liu Yu and fifth concubine Liu Hong were born one after another. Then Yan Lu, Xia Houhan and Zhen Qing, who had never been pregnant before, were born due to Liu Bei's special care.
He also gave birth to children one after another.
Yan Lu and Xia Houhan gave birth to Liu Bei's sixth concubine Liu Mu and seventh concubine Liu Qing, and Zhen Qing gave birth to Liu Bei's sixth concubine daughter Liu Ying.
These five children were born close to each other because their mothers were pregnant at the same time. They are all five years old now and have just been officially named through the Zongzheng system and the suggestion of their teacher Lu Zhi.
Therefore, the descendants of Liu Bei whose names have been included in the family tree currently include seven sons and six daughters.
Because people these days have short life spans and high mortality rates, children are rarely named before the age of five and are not included in the family tree. Within the family, such children are not considered complete people.
It is not until after the age of five, when the survival rate has been greatly improved, that the child is given a name, included in the family tree, and officially recognized as a clan member, which is equivalent to gaining human rights.
Therefore, currently, only thirteen of Liu Bei's descendants have obtained human rights.
In the following period, although Liu Bei did not admit more women into the palace, considering the importance of his children, he kept working hard and did not stop "paying".
At the same time, considering the importance of the health of his wives and concubines, Liu Bei actively persuaded his wives and concubines to exercise and increase their protein and vitamin intake. He also personally formulated healthy eating habits and healthy living habits for his wives and concubines.
This includes trying not to drink alcohol, never staying up late, getting up as early as possible, developing a good daily routine, soaking your feet in hot water before going to bed, and insisting on doing a set of Baduanjin every day - Liu Bei knew this set of Baduanjin in his previous life.
, I will keep practicing for the rest of my life.
Since he didn't go to the battlefield very often, Liu Bei insisted on fighting every day. It didn't take much time every day, but if he kept fighting every day, it would be good for his health in the long run.
Liu Bei, like them, only eats fried foods during festivals and festivals. He eats them occasionally but never regularly. He eats about half full and chews them slowly. No matter how hungry he is, he is not allowed to devour them.
Because of Liu Bei's supervision, the wives and concubines adhered to the healthy living habits and the habit of exercising and sweating every day. The wives and concubines were in good health and rarely got sick. Occasionally, they could be cured quickly, even if they were in poor health before marrying Liu Bei.
The most delicate Cao Hui, her health and complexion have improved visibly in the past few years.
This is true for wives and concubines, and so is it for children.
In addition to asking them to study hard, Liu Bei also asked them to develop healthy living habits, such as ensuring adequate sleep, insisting on playing Baduanjin every day, and doing some strength training.
In terms of diet, children all like sweets and fried foods, but Liu Bei also strictly restricted their consumption of sweets and fried foods.
In addition to staple food, they are required to eat more meat, vegetables and fruits. Sweets and fried foods are only allowed to be eaten during holidays or birthdays, and are basically not served on weekdays.
Although he was busy with official duties, Liu Bei would instruct the people around them to supervise them to complete daily exercises, supervise them to maintain healthy living habits, and report anything to him in a timely manner.
If a family member violates his healthy living habits, he will be very angry and punish the family member.
With his persistence, the physical fitness of his family members is very good, and even his mother, who was always frail, has improved her complexion due to good living habits and good nutritional supplements.
In this era of lack of medical capabilities, physical fitness is the most important line of defense against disease. There are still many things that doctors in this era cannot do. If a person wants to live a long life, counting on famous doctors and medicines will more or less bring a bit of luck.
The ingredients are in it.
And your own immunity is so important.
Liu Bei understood this deeply and did not expect that with his own efforts and support, the Han's medical level would make a qualitative leap in a short period of time. He could only rely on himself and the body's own immunity.
It can be said that Huang Tian paid off his hard work, and his efforts still achieved good results.
The two sisters, Gong Qin and Gong Ling, were already in good physical condition. After living according to his requirements for several years, they became healthy, rarely got sick, and had strong recovery capabilities.
In the second year of Jian'an, Gong Qin and Gong Ling once again joined forces to attack and got pregnant one after another. In the third year of Jian'an, Liu Bei successfully gave birth to his eighth son and his ninth son. They recovered quickly after the birth and were active again within a month.
Liu Bei was amazed by the girlish appearance, and felt that these two sisters were somewhat gifted.
Indeed, these two girls are in very good physical condition.
As for the eighth son and the ninth son, they were not included in the family tree because they were only three years old. They did not have first names, only nicknames. Liu Bei named the eighth son Xiaoqiang and the ninth son Xiaoming.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to give him a nickname like this.
Zhen Qing's health was not originally very good, but she followed Liu Bei's advice and began to exercise and strengthen her physique from the first year of Jian'an. She became pregnant successfully in the third year of Jian'an. In the fourth year of Jian'an, she gave birth to Liu Bei's tenth son, because there were only two
He is old, so he only has a nickname, Xiaogang.
Also in the fourth year of Jian'an, Xia Houhan and Cao Hui became pregnant one after another. In the fifth year of Jian'an, before Liu Bei became emperor, they gave birth to the seventh and eighth concubines to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was very happy and gave them the nicknames Xiaohong and Xiaohua.
In the two months after Liu Bei became emperor in the fifth year of Jian'an, he also worked hard. So at the end of the fifth year of Jian'an and the beginning of the first year of Zhenguan, Han Ning, Han Xiaodie and Yan Lu also became pregnant again, and they are still pregnant.
.
Liu Bei was very busy in the first few months of the first year of Zhenguan. In April, Liu Bei took some time to focus on the inner palace, comforting his wives who had not received his full attention for several months, and working hard as an old scalper for a period of time.
So at the end of April, Xia Houhan became pregnant again.
This means that Liu Bei currently has five children who have not been included in the genealogy, for a total of ten sons and eight daughters. If you include the four children who are still pregnant in the mother's womb, he already has twenty-two children.
Because he is in Luoyang, even if he has many official duties, Liu Bei will try his best to spend time with his family and comfort the women and children as much as possible. Therefore, in general, his harem is relatively harmonious and there are basically no twists and turns.
Things that go around.
Everyone also abides by Liu Bei's rules - the harem does not interfere with politics, and Liu Bei will hardly talk to them about the previous government affairs. No matter how busy and annoying he is, he will not bring these things and emotions to the harem.
In addition, Liu Bei did not restrict his wives and concubines from returning to their natal homes to meet their parents and relatives.
As long as they miss their families, Liu Bei will arrange for the imperial guards to send people to protect them when they return home to visit relatives, or arrange for their families to come to Luoyang to stay for a while to reunite their families, usually for a month, so that they can relax.
The pain of homesickness.
On this basis, Liu Bei took action and used his strong body as a medium of communication, and was able to control the entire harem well.
Then he also fully realized that human beings have limits. No matter how many women there are in the harem, there is only one emperor. Even if he accepts beauties from all over the world like those famous kings who can write poems, sometimes he is powerless, there is only one emperor.
Ability stares.
No matter how great the king is, he is still a mortal body and cannot ascend mechanically. No matter how powerful he is, he will inevitably end up with a joke like "There are those who cannot be seen for thirty-six years" and become the laughing stock of the world in vain.
Liu Bei really had no interest in such things.
And in this matter, of course he also has a tendency to like the new and hate the old, but as he grows older and more experienced, a new feeling of "the clothes are not as good as the new people and the old people are not as good as the old ones" gradually replaces the previous feeling.
He began to feel that although newcomers were good, they were not as considerate as his old friends. The understanding of him by the women who had followed him for a long time was incomparable to that of newcomers.
Moreover, Liu Bei is busy with official duties and is getting older. He does not have as much energy and patience as he did when he was young to get in touch with new people. Without getting in touch, it would be a purely profit connection and a physical connection. That feeling is the most indifferent and can be abandoned at any time.
dropped.
Liu Bei did not want to stay in his home with such people and relationships.
Therefore, he was quite fortunate that he had a better understanding of each other with these women when he was young, energetic and patient. I am afraid that such a thing would be difficult to happen again in the future.
