Chapter 459 If you don't get pregnant with the dragon seed, your father will die in front of you!
"Do you still remember what you promised your father last year? You will definitely find a way to get pregnant, but this year has almost passed, and why is there no movement in your belly?"
"I......"
"Don't talk nonsense to me, I don't want to hear it! Could my father still harm you? Haven't you heard about the Queen Mother He and Miss Wang?"
"Now the imperial court has subdued even a million Yellow Turbans, and has gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses around Jizhou. In the coming spring, after a short rest, we can go all out to capture Jizhou and Youzhou, and completely dominate the north."
"And I heard that His Majesty has already had the idea of returning to Luoyang and rebuilding Luoyang. By then the Han Dynasty will be completely stable. Even if His Majesty the Emperor is unwilling to accept a concubine, the courtiers will force him to accept a concubine."
"Which of the previous emperors of our Han Dynasty did not ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at a young age? This is a drawback. The courtiers will never allow such a thing to happen."
"You are already sixteen now. If you don't hurry up and get pregnant with Long Zi, how will you earn money from the newcomers? Not to mention how many beauties there are in the world, even those two people trained by the Yin family are worthy of the title
The country is beautiful and fragrant.”
"All men are lustful, and my father knows this very well. When the time comes, you will be so old that His Majesty the Emperor will not even bother to look at you again!"
"No......"
Tang Ji was about to speak, but as soon as she spoke the first word, she was interrupted again by Tang Mao: "Don't tell me you can't. My ears are almost numb from hearing this."
"Don't you know what a man's virtues are like? Besides, this is the royal family, and there are countless people waiting to use tricks to compete for His Majesty's favor."
"You are so simple, how can you be someone else's opponent? If you take advantage of now, get pregnant and give birth to a child quickly, you will become the prince in the future, and your position in the palace will naturally be preserved."
"A concubine without a prince to rely on, even if she is a queen, cannot last long in the harem. There are so many bloody examples in front of you, why don't you learn a lesson?"
"I'm telling you!"
At that moment, Tang Mao directly issued an ultimatum: "I don't care what method you use, even if you use medicine, you must conceive the dragon seed, otherwise I will come here to bother you every day until you get pregnant, do you hear me?"
"father-!"
"Don't call me dad, I don't have a father like you."
"ah?"
"Pooh!"
Tang Mao was so angry that he almost vomited blood, slapped himself on the mouth, and quickly changed his words: "I don't have a daughter like you, do you have to make me angry to death? Let me tell you, your grandfather has asked me many times, if he gets angry
At any rate, come and let me question you."
"ah?"
Tang Ji'emei frowned slightly, with a look of disbelief on her face, and asked tentatively: "Dad, does it mean that even my grandfather knows about this? How is he doing lately? Is he in good health? My daughter hasn't seen her grandfather for a long time."
"You still have the nerve to ask your grandfather?"
Tang Mao shook his head angrily and said in a long voice: "You should know that the imperial court has restricted the powers of eunuchs and relatives. Now our Tang family depends entirely on you. Whether you can conceive a dragon seed is a matter of fact.
It’s our family’s top priority.”
"Just two days ago, I went back to my hometown in Yingchuan to visit the old man. Within three days, the old man asked about you seven or eight times, and he sighed every time. If there is something wrong with the old man, I will...
.I am not..."
Tang Mao didn't know what to do, so he simply raised his hand and pointed at a pillar in the palace, and said fiercely: "If I don't kill you in the Jiaofang Palace, I will turn into a ghost and stare at you every day until you are pregnant with the dragon seed.
I just went to the underworld to report."
"Dad, what did you say?"
Tang Ji was startled, her pretty face slightly embarrassed.
"I'm telling the truth!"
Tang Mao knew that his daughter was filial.
no way.
He could only use this method to force him, and even rolled his eyes to add to his anger: "In two days, I will take the old man from Yingchuan. We will enter the palace every day and keep an eye on you."
"The old man is already in his sixties, how long can he last? His only wish in this life is to have a great-grandson. This is the honor accumulated by our Tang family for generations."
"If this can be done, even if the old man has really passed away, he can still smile and explain to the ancestors of the Tang family that our Tang family has become a royal family, and our great-grandson is the crown prince of the Han Dynasty."
Well......
Tang Ji sighed helplessly and frowned: "Dad, aren't you forcing your daughter?"
Tang Mao nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I am forcing you!"
"But......"
Tang Ji sat in front of the dressing table, her head slightly lowered, pinching a strand of black hair on her temples, a hint of shyness appeared on her cheeks: "This kind of thing is not something that my daughter can decide alone."
"If my father had the ability, he would ask Your Majesty why he is always causing trouble for his daughter. Besides, His Majesty said that the two of us came all the way from Luoyang Palace. This kind of feeling cannot be surpassed by anyone.
"
How dare Tang Mao dare to talk to His Majesty the Emperor about this kind of thing? It is not only embarrassing, but also taboo. Unless he is thick-skinned to a certain extent, he will definitely not be able to open his mouth.
"you......"
Tang Mao was filled with rage, but before it could be extinguished, it started to burn fiercely again: "Can you believe this? As long as you can conceive a dragon, no matter what the future will be like, no matter if he changes his mind, your status will be
It’s hard to shake.”
"But if you don't have a prince to rely on, even the new concubines who enter the palace will look down on you. They will think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they will try to remove you from the position of queen."
"Is it to prove that your relationship with His Majesty cannot be surpassed by anyone by letting you get pregnant with Ryuko? My father wants to protect you and protect you."
"The old man is already sixty years old. My father will be over fifty if he has more than ten years left. Who knows how many more days he can live. If it were his father and the old man were all gone, who would protect you, silly boy?
!”
At this point, Tang Mao's eyes were red, and warm tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. It was as if Tang Mao had become much older all of a sudden. He was clearly in his prime, but he had a sense of twilight in his old age.
"As long as I am here, no one can bully the queen."
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the door and entered the Jiaofang Hall.
Tang Mao was stunned!
Tang Ji was even more stunned!
They both stood up to greet each other and bowed deeply: "I, Tang Mao (concubine), come to see Your Majesty."
Liu Bian took the initiative to step forward and help Tang Mao up: "Abbott, please get up quickly."
Tang Mao then straightened up: "Your Majesty, I... I am really..."
Seeing Tang Mao's embarrassed look, the netizens in the live broadcast room immediately became excited and talked about it:
"Haha, Tang Mao's expression is really funny. You are right. What are you afraid of? Just tell Mr. Bian directly."
"I've been holding such a beautiful woman in my arms all day long, but my belly doesn't move at all. My father-in-law is worried. What's wrong with this?"
"Hurry up and urge Master Bian to have a child. We also want to see what little Master Bian looks like."
"Yes, in this era, his parents are very worried."
"Master Bian is a good man as a man, but as a son, he is really unfilial."
"That's right, I remember before that Ben's parents asked him to have a baby quickly, and also said that he should follow the local customs."
"Hahahaha, yes, it does happen."
"Master Bian, hurry up, you must not let down Tang Ji."
"...."
Listening to the voices of netizens, Liu Bian felt a little embarrassed.
After all, the customs of the Han Dynasty are here. Although it is difficult for me to accept it, I should really consider Tang Ji's situation, follow the local customs appropriately, and give Tang Ji an explanation.
"Principal, please sit down quickly."
Liu Bian did not answer, but just waved his hand to signal Tang Mao to take a seat.
"His Majesty."
Tang Mao sat aside.
Since he had been caught, Tang Mao had nothing to hide. He paused for a moment and finally spoke: "Old minister, I have a question. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Liu Bian knew that there must be a trap in this, but he still waved his hand and said softly: "If the emperor has anything to say, just say it. We are a family, and one family does not speak the same language as the other."
"good."
Tang Mao nodded, became more courageous, and continued: "In that case, let me tell you frankly, is there anything immoral about our little girl Tang Ji?"
Is this a rhythm that starts with virtue and then gets to the point?
really!
Digging began.
A faint smile broke out on Liu Bian's face, and he said softly: "That's not true. The Queen is virtuous and virtuous. Her mother-in-law is the best in the world. She is my virtuous wife. I am very satisfied with the Queen."
When Tang Mao heard this, he became very angry: "Since my daughter has no fault of virtue and is deeply in love with His Majesty Kangli, why has it been three years since I settled in Nanyang and my daughter has not been able to conceive the dragon seed?"
"Your Majesty has come step by step from Luoyang to where he is today, and he has also restricted the power of his relatives and eunuchs. It must be clear that the fundamental reason why his relatives and eunuchs took turns in power is that your Majesty is too young to be in charge personally."
"Now that the situation in the court has come out of chaos, and the government has transitioned smoothly, should your majesty consider giving birth to the first prince of the Han Dynasty, so as to stabilize the hearts of the courtiers?"
"The little girl is about to be twenty-eight years old. If it takes another two years, I am afraid that she will have passed the best age for giving birth to a dragon child. By then, the possibility of the prince's early death will be greatly increased, and even the little girl will be at risk of his life.
Danger."
"His Majesty!"
Having said this, Tang Maoteng stood up, walked around the long eucalyptus, and entered the palace. He bowed deeply and said, "I affirm that your majesty, in order to continue the royal bloodline, and the queen will quickly give birth to a prince for the world."
"father-"
Tang Ji beside her had already blushed, and she was overwhelmed with embarrassment.
But she never stopped her father. She made it clear that she wanted to use his father's mouth to accomplish good things. She only stood up after she finished speaking:
"What are you talking about? This is a private matter between my daughter and His Majesty. You cannot interfere."
"nonsense!"
Tang Mao directly interrupted and scolded: "The royal affairs are state affairs. The stability of the royal family means the stability of the court. The prince represents the continuation of the royal family and the stability of the court. The old ministers have their own duty to advise."
"Today, Your Majesty wants to behead this old minister, and he must say this, otherwise I...I...I won't leave, and it will be useless for anyone to pull me back!"
Plop!
But when I saw Tang Mao sitting on the ground, holding his fists in his arms, he was so angry, like a child, and he even acted like a rogue. Can you believe it?
"Dad, get up quickly."
Tang Ji desperately pulled her father, but he didn't move at all. In desperation, she could only turn her head and glance at the emperor: "Your Majesty, my father is really..."
Before Tang Ji could finish speaking, Liu Bian waved his hand to interrupt, walked forward with a smile, squatted in front of his father-in-law, stared at him for a long time, and then glanced at the darkening sky outside:
"Zhang Guozhang, are you really not ready to leave?"
"right!"
Tang Mao took courage and said, "I won't leave. There will be no results today. I will definitely not leave."
Liu Bian smiled: "It's a little inconvenient for me and the queen to stay here."
Tang Mao was stunned: "What's the inconvenience?"
"What do you think? You've been here before."
"kindness?"
Tang Mao heard the connotations of Liu Bian's words and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty will not trick an old minister, right?"
Liu Bian shrugged, dropped a word, turned around and went back: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, the Queen and I are getting ready to go to bed."
Tang Mao hurriedly got up from the ground: "Old minister, let's go. I'll leave now."
"hey-hey-!"
Tang Mao chuckled, and when he turned to leave, he did not forget to wink at his daughter, telling her that she must seize the opportunity and try to conceive a dragon. I will come over tomorrow to inquire about the situation. If not, I will beat you up.
Tang Ji's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She looked at her father who turned away and disappeared at the entrance of the palace. She took a deep breath and paused for a long time before entering the side hall and approaching Liu Bian:
"Your Majesty, have you figured it out?"
Tang Ji blinked her big black pearl-like eyes.
"No."
Liu Bian shook his head and took a deep breath.
At this moment, he has habitually closed the live broadcast room, sat on the couch and frowned in thought: "If I follow my own ideas, I may have to wait another two years."
"ah?"
Tang Ji kept her mouth shut: "How about we have to wait for another two years? If my father visits the palace every day, I will not be able to bear it. If he does something stupid one day, Your Majesty will probably suffer a loss."
"
Liu Bian smiled at Tang Ji, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and stroked her hair: "I don't know what the father-in-law is thinking. I have to admit that he is indeed thinking about you."
"Moreover, now that the national affairs have stabilized and the north is about to be stable, I think the courtiers will not let me have children. Sooner or later, this matter will have to be put on the agenda."
"Then what your Majesty means is..."
Tang Ji's eyes suddenly brightened, and she raised her eyes to stare at Liu Bian, full of expectation.
Liu Bian looked at the beauty in front of him. After two years of treatment, his body had improved a lot. It was no longer as fragile and skinny as before the time travel. The faint blush on his cheeks was enough to prove this.
Liu Bian stretched out his broad palms, lightly touched Tang Ji's area, and then reached towards her jade neck. He slowly straightened up and took the initiative to get closer to that pretty face.
Tang Ji was a little nervous at first, and her heart was beating wildly. As Liu Bian's body came closer, she held her breath and subconsciously closed her eyes slowly, letting those warm red lips take the initiative to come closer.

Yangzhou, Danyang.
State Shepherd's Office.
Xu You frowned and paced back and forth in the palace. As of today, it has been more than a month since he came to Danyang County, but the progress of this matter has not progressed by half.
Even Xu You himself could clearly feel Liu Yao's pushback on this matter. The other party obviously wanted to wait until the situation became clear before making a real decision.
But......
With the power of Guo Tu, Yan Liang and Wen Chou alone, can they really fight to the death with Cao Cao and Xu Rong?
Not to mention Liu Yao, Gu Yong, even Xu You himself didn't dare to believe it too much.
After all, Nanyang Hanting has such a magical creature as the Fire and Thunder. The strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban alone cannot compete with it. Even with good looks and ugly words, it may be difficult to curb its decline.
certainly!
As long as the two sides can fight, no matter what, my lord is already in an invincible position. And as long as he can defeat the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans or capture half of Yanzhou's territory, it will be a complete victory for his lord.
.
And as long as this level can be achieved, I am afraid that Liu Yao will send troops to attack Guangling without Xu You saying anything more, and will not find various excuses to excuse himself.
"Ziyuan."
Just as Xu You was pacing back and forth, a familiar voice sounded outside the hall.
That's right.
It was none other than Gu Yong.
Xu You stepped forward hurriedly: "Yuantan, is it possible to send troops today?"
Gu Yong shook his head and sighed: "Ziyuan, although the wind has stopped today, the wind was too strong in the past few days, blowing all the battleships apart and overturning them. Many battleships were damaged and needed repairs. They may also need a
About two days.”
Xu You had already expected that it would end like this today, so he didn't bother to get angry again: "Just two days, it's already been delayed for so long, so it's not less than this time."
"Is there any news about Qingzhou recently?"
Then, Xu You tried to ask.
After all, Yangzhou will definitely be more anxious than Xu You about the war situation.
It is much more convenient to inquire about news from Gu Yong than to wait for news from Jizhou.
"not yet."
Gu Yong did not hide it and spoke directly.
In fact, everyone knew it well, but they just didn't reveal it: "Don't worry Ziyuan, as soon as the news comes, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"kindness."
Xu You sighed and nodded helplessly: "This is the only way."
Just as Xu You was about to leave, a message suddenly sounded outside the hall:
"Report—!"
Gu Yong raised his eyes and looked.
But I saw a soldier running over in a hurry, looking slightly panicked: "Military advisor."
Xu You hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "But what news came back from Qingzhou?"
"this......"
The soldier frowned, his voice was drawn out, and he looked at Gu Yong.
Such action has proved that the news came to help, Gu Yong didn't mind at all, and said softly: "Speaking frankly, Ziyuan is one of our own, there is no need to avoid it."
The soldier bowed and held his hands, and then said: "The news came back from the direction of Qingzhou that Xu Rong captured Yan Liang alive, recruited more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his army, and ordered Cheng Pu to add 20,000 troops to the navy."
"Cao Cao defeated Xu He and captured Guo Tu and Wen Chou alive. They have been transferred to the school affairs office and gathered tens of thousands of troops from his troops at various crossings of Jishui River."
"ah?"
Xu You was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face: "How is this possible? It's only been more than a month. How could our army be defeated? They have half a million troops."
Even Gu Yong himself couldn't believe it: "Did you make a mistake in inquiring?"
The soldier shook his head: "Impossible. We have received such news seven or eight times. There is absolutely no way it could be wrong. Besides, the war is over. Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, sent a merchant ship to bring people back to Guangling from Qingzhou."
"If Xu Rong had not defeated the Yellow Turbans, how could these reorganized people enter Guangling, and Donghai, Langya, Pengcheng, and Xiapi are all there. They must be Qingzhou Yellow Turbans."
Boom!
Like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
The Xu Youlei is crispy on the outside, tender on the outside, golden and crispy on the inside.
He froze in place, his eyes filled with disbelief, his head buzzing continuously, going blank, and kept talking: "How is this possible? How is this possible!"
Gu Yong originally thought that if there was no news for more than a month, at least Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Xu Rong would be able to fight 50-50. In this case, they could send troops to threaten Guangling's rear.
But who would have thought...
Either no news is sent, but once the news is sent, it is news like this!
This directly affects Yangzhou's next strategic deployment.
"that......"
Gu Yong swallowed his saliva and said softly: "Send Ziyuan back to the inn. I have something urgent to see my lord."
The soldier leaned forward and cupped his hands: "Here."

Yizhou, Shu County.
State Shepherd's Office.
Liu Yan pinched a strand of beard under his chin and looked at the chirping birds outside the window, frowning in thought.
At this moment, a big cloak suddenly came over behind him, and Lu Yue said softly: "What are you thinking about, Mr. Jun? You are so absorbed in it that you don't even know I'm here."
"What else could there be?"
Liu Yan tightened his cloak and let Lu Yue tie it up for him: "It's just a battle in Yanzhou. I heard that Yuan Shao also sent people to join in. I don't want your majesty to successfully recruit this team."
"kindness."
Lu Yue was not surprised at all, but nodded calmly: "It's normal. If the imperial court adopts this Yellow Turban, Jizhou will be in danger next year."
"I heard that there are millions of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. Now the Nanyang court is short of troops. If we absorb these soldiers, our strength will be even greater."
"yes."
Liu Yan sighed, frowned and looked away, and said softly: "I heard that the person Yuan Shao sent was Guo Tu, as well as generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou. I can't say that I don't take him seriously."
"He also sent someone to deliver a message to Liu Yao, hoping that Liu Yao could send troops to attack Guangling. He doesn't know what the current situation of the war is. If he succeeds, perhaps the situation in the world will change."
Lu Yue naturally understood the meaning and said softly: "This winter, Nanyang Hanting's life will be difficult. The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are a group of desperadoes, and with Yuan Shao involved, it will definitely be difficult to deal with them."
"Who says it isn't?"
The corners of Liu Yan's lips raised slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Junlang has been waiting for the results?"
Lu Yue raised her eyes and stared at Liu Yan, asking tentatively.
"I'm afraid the whole world is waiting for the result."
Liu Yan let out a long sigh and glanced across the eaves to the sky.
"Father-!"
At this moment, a voice sounded not far away.
Liu Yan turned around and looked.
The visitor was none other than his son Liu Zhang: "Zhang'er, why are you here free?"
Liu Zhang frowned, bowed his head, and said softly: "Father, the information from the direction of Qingzhou has returned."
"oh?"
Liu Yan was surprised: "So fast?"
Liu Zhang nodded: "Well, yes."
"How's it going?"
"Nanyang won a great victory."
"ah?"
Liu Yan was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Nanyang has won a great victory?"
Liu Zhang said with absolute certainty: "Yes, Xu Rong, Cao Cao captured Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Guo Tu alive, and collected a total of more than 200,000 Qingzhou Yellow Turbans."
"Up to now, Cao Cao has distributed his troops at various crossings along the Jishui River. Xu Rong has led 100,000 troops and stationed in the plain. The total strength of the two men has reached 300,000."
"If we add the navy, Heishan Army, Zhang Liao's army in Bingzhou, and Liu Yu in Youzhou, the total strength will probably not be less than 500,000."
hiss-!
Liu Yan took a breath and asked in shock: "How many? Five hundred thousand soldiers and horses?"
Liu Zhang nodded affirmatively: "This is just a conservative estimate. I heard that Nanyang is negotiating with Youzhou Gongsun Zan. If Gongsun Zan is included, the total military strength will be even greater. Next year, Yuan Shao of Jizhou may not be able to hold on for more than a month."
Half a million troops!
That’s half a million people!
Liu Yan had no doubt that Nanyang Hanting could sweep Jizhou. He just sighed, completely giving up on being the emperor: "Zhang'er, if you send someone out now to pay tribute to Nanyang Hanting, maybe they can get there before the Winter Festival?
"
Liu Zhang breathed out and pondered for a moment: "Father, there is a small road in Hanzhong that can go directly to Nanyang. There should be no problem if you walk there."
"good."
Liu Yan nodded without hesitation: "Just go there. You will personally lead this attack without any mistakes."
Liu Zhang leaned forward and raised his hands: "Here."
