44. The person who should not be pregnant is pregnant
????????Wang Zheng had just entered the back hall of the palace when he saw Fan Wu in the imperial garden.
At this time, she was sitting sideways on the stone railing of a small bridge, looking down at the trickling water of the river. Occasionally, fish jumped out of the water and splashed, splashing the woman's face.
Fan Wu didn't care about her temples and forehead. She seemed to be deep in thought and didn't know what to think of. Her expression was a bit complicated, and her brows were frozen and lonely.
????????Since Wang Zheng falsely returned to Xuzhou before re-entering Shouchun, the two had not seen each other for a long time due to complicated affairs. When they met in the palace, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel both close and strange.
With a subtle feeling, he walked slowly over and asked Wen Yan, "What are you looking at, madam?"
Fan Wu, who was so absorbed in staring at the fish swimming in the stream, didn't notice anything until she heard a familiar voice suddenly coming from behind her, and her delicate body trembled in surprise.
Until Gu Pan turned his head and saw Wang Zheng, a look of joy appeared on his face. He immediately stood up, lifted up his skirt, bowed down and said respectfully: "I'm here to meet Zhou Mu."
Wang Zheng took her hand and walked to the pavilion to sit down. He immediately hugged the woman's slender waist with familiarity, stared at her jade-like face, and suddenly said: "How many times?"
With the sun gone, my wife has lost a lot of money."
?????????Fan Wu gave him a hug and immediately felt that her delicate body was limp and weak, and half of her body was directly leaning against Wang Zheng's shoulder. It was obviously the cold time of late autumn, but her cheeks were as red as
In the bright summer sun, he said shyly and timidly: "Zhou Mu, don't be like this, okay? People come and go frequently here, so they will see you."
????????? Shouchun is now named Wang, who am I afraid of seeing?
?????????Hearing Fan Wu's words, Wang Zheng became more teasing. He immediately laughed, stretched his arms lightly, and sat Fan Wu on his lap. Fan Wu just let out a sweet cry because she lost her balance.
, and found that Wang Zheng had reached out to touch her chin.
Fan Wu turned her head and Wang Zheng's head followed her, catching the woman's red lips and peering deeply into her.
?????????"Uh, uh!"
The woman's fragrance was sucked in, and she immediately twisted around and struggled, hiding her face downwards, as if she didn't want to be seen, but was helplessly restrained by Wang Zheng's tiger palms, unable to turn at all.
, only in the squeaking sound, the whole body became softer and softer, the head and face gradually tilted back, and the soft arms that were originally stretched out to push could not help but climb up Wang Zheng's neck.
????????After a long lingering, when they separated again, Fan Wu was so embarrassed and confused that it was difficult to speak for a while. Wang Zheng was also attracted by the fragrance of orchid in her mouth.
The air was so arousing that I could only feel my lips were slightly numb, and there was an indescribable taste, just like a bit of fresh lotus, which was sweet in my heart.
Wang Zheng pursed his lips and thought about it for a moment, then looked at Fan Wu and said with satisfaction: "This is punishment for being so restrained in front of me. Are you willing to accept the punishment?"
????????With this closeness, the alienation between them naturally disappeared. Fan Wu felt both sweet and ashamed, she rolled her eyes at him charmingly, and then took the initiative to lean over.
, put her fragrant cheek against Wang Zheng's face, rubbed it gently, and murmured as if in a daze: "Azheng, you are so domineering!"
????????The two of them cuddled up to each other silently, their ears and temples rubbing against each other, just like a pair of cross-necked mandarin ducks, lingering and pathos arose spontaneously.
Wang Zheng has never been in such a situation before. Although he had passionate and confused moments with Huo, Bu Wan'er and even Mrs. Feng, they were either older than him or older than him.
However, they are cautious. Few people can behave like a child as naturally as Fan Wu. They don't have such a sweet and continuous feeling of being in pairs. They just feel that it is both fresh and comfortable, and they are almost addicted.
in.
After a while, he quietly asked: "By the way, why did you come to the palace today? Are you here to see Feng Yu?" Feng Yu was Mrs. Feng's maiden name.
????????"Yes."
?????????Hearing Wang Zheng mention Mrs. Feng, Fan Wu, who had looked up and closed her eyes, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Wang Zheng and snorted slightly, her expression suddenly became angry, and then she bit her lip.
Authentic: "The slave family has not yet congratulated Zhou Mu."
?????????"Congratulations to me?" Wang Zheng was startled when he heard this: "Why?"
?????????"Huh, Zhou Mu, go ask Mrs. Feng yourself!"
?????????For some reason, Fan Wu's tone suddenly changed, with inexplicable impatience and annoyance, Shui Bo
????????When her almond-shaped eyes looked at Wang Zheng, they became even more misty, like a resentful woman who had been stabbed.
Wang Zheng became more and more puzzled, and when he was about to ask, he saw that Fan Wu did not respond, but had turned around, hesitated slightly, then lowered his head and walked out.
????????baffling...
????????Wang Zheng had not known how long it had been since someone had been so angry. His first emotion was not anger but confusion. After staying for a moment, he still couldn't figure out where Fan Wu's anger came from, so he didn't bother.
Thinking again, he scratched his head, stood up again and continued walking towards the inner hall where Mrs. Feng was.
????????? Along the way, I saw all the maids and servants with happy faces. I became more and more suspicious. I grabbed a few and asked them what was going on. Unexpectedly, all of them answered in the same voice: "My wife specially ordered me to do so."
, she has to tell Zhou Mu personally about this, and Zhou Mu will know when he goes to see his wife."
Although these people are all Mrs. Feng's personal followers, now that Shouchun has changed hands, Mrs. Feng's status is naturally not as good as before. Her orders may not be very effective in front of Wang Zheng.
There is no reason for these people to be so bold, unless something happened that made these people not only ecstatic, but also emboldened?
????????What makes them so sure that Wang Zheng will not blame them?
?????????Think of Fan Wu's sudden joy and anger just now...
????????Wang Zheng suddenly felt something in his heart, and a certain idea vaguely emerged.
???????No way? This is certainly a good thing and a happy event, but Mrs. Feng...
?????????But he is not the right candidate for Wang Zheng, or even the civil and military officials under his command!
??????????......
????????When Wang Zheng set foot, Mrs. Feng was lying on the bed. She was extraordinary today. For some reason, she abandoned her past rich clothes and wore only a simple and wide robe.
In addition to the maid, Wu Pu was also sitting next to her, wearing a pair of gloves to diagnose her pulse.
?????????Seeing Wang Zheng enter, Wu Pu immediately stood up and saluted, bowed and said: "Meet Zhou Mu."
????????? Mrs. Feng also shook her body and seemed to want to get up, but as soon as she moved, she turned her face and covered her mouth, as if she was about to vomit.
?????????"No courtesy."
Wang Zheng quickly waved his hand to stop him and moved to sit next to Mrs. Feng. He immediately looked at Wu Pu and asked warmly: "Since you are doing this again, sir, could it be that your wife is ill?"
?????????"Chen Zhou Mu." Wu Pu smiled when he heard this and said, "Madam is not ill, but happy."
????????really!
???????Even though he had vague speculations in his mind, and even thought about the possible consequences of Mrs. Feng's pregnancy, the moment he really confirmed the matter, Wang Zheng had no time to think about anything else and immediately turned his head and looked sideways.
, looking at Mrs. Feng.
Or, to be more precise, he was looking at the woman's belly, staring intently, as if there was only one thing in his eyes at this moment, and there was an unconcealable and sincere look of ecstasy on his face.
?????????"I have a son?"
???????? He looked at it infatuatedly, murmuring, and couldn't help but leaned over and pressed his head tightly against Mrs. Feng's lower abdomen, as if he wanted to take a closer look.
Listen to the vibration of your blood vessels.
????????"Forehead..."
?????????Hearing this, Wu Pu on the side didn't know how to answer. He could understand Wang Zheng's mood, but he couldn't help but want to remind him that he only said that Mrs. Feng was pregnant, but he didn't.
Guarantee the gender of the fetus.
???????Feeling the heat from her lover's body radiating through the fabric, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips, and the shyness in her eyes could no longer conceal her joy.
?????????She was completely relieved when she saw Wang Zheng's subconscious reaction.
????????very nice...
????????A Zheng didn’t have the slightest suspicion or any worries.
????????However, the other party did not doubt it, but Mrs. Feng still wanted to take the initiative to clarify, so she said softly: "General, Mr. Wu said that I am less than two months pregnant, so I can't hear it at this time.
Fetal heart.”
Mrs. Feng is telling Wang Zheng through the number of days of pregnancy that this is definitely his flesh and blood.
Because Yuan Shu left Shouchun in early July, Wang Zheng arrived in Shouchun in mid-August. The next night after entering the city, he visited Mrs. Feng in the palace.
?????????"Who said that? I heard it!"
Of course Wang Zheng knew what Mrs. Feng meant, but it was hard for him to pick up the topic. Hearing this, he looked up at Mrs. Feng and said with a happy smile: "Madam is pregnant. That's it."
God helps me, now that I have children, I can accomplish great things!"
????????As the saying goes, "There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having heirs." In the hearts of most people in the later generations, lineage inheritance is extremely important, even more important than the ancestors of Guangzong. After all, having children and grandchildren represents the most important thing.
Your family's bloodline, foundation, and clan will still be passed down, and then the so-called glory of your ancestors will have meaning.
????????Having no descendants or heirs means that there are no successors. So, no matter how great the achievements are, what is the use?
?????????Is this still the case in later generations, let alone the feudal dynasty that governed the world with loyalty and filial piety?
????????? Especially since Wang Zheng is not an ordinary commoner, he is a prince with ambitions to compete!
????????Having heirs means that the legacy you have built will be passed down.
???????? Wang Zheng’s foundation has someone to pass on, and those rich and powerful people who follow Wang Zheng to conquer the world can really have a stable position.
????????It can be said that the issue of heirs is an out-and-out political issue for those in power, even the biggest political issue. As long as there are no descendants in three years, the officials will persuade them to save money.
If the concubines are kept for a long time and never come out, and the princes have no heirs, even if they have millions of soldiers and advisers like clouds and brave generals like rain, they will be in danger of falling apart.
??????????Wang Zheng is still young and unmarried, so this problem is not that serious at this time. However, in fact, due to everyone's previous analysis of Lu Bu, it was said that his biggest shortcoming is that he has no sons and only one.
His daughter has made him keep this matter in mind secretly.
Especially the lack of movement from Huo Si and Bu Wan'er made Wang Zheng a little worried about gain and loss. He even thought that the original owner's body wouldn't have any hidden diseases, right?
Now that Mrs. Feng's pregnancy has finally solved this layer of worries, even if she is still unsure about the gender, Wang Zheng finally feels relieved and takes a long breath.
????????Of course, in life, there will always be more suffering than happiness.
????????The joy lasted only a moment. When Wang Zheng woke up, he found that troubles were coming one after another.
??????????......
After leaving the inner palace, Wang Zheng immediately summoned Guo Jia and other important ministers, both civil and military, to come to the palace for discussion. The focus was naturally on Mrs. Feng’s pregnancy.
?????????Generals such as Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other generals naturally showed happy expressions, stood up one after another, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Congratulations, lord! Congratulations, lord! I wish you a son!"
Civil servants such as Guo Jia and Mi Heng looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
"We have just conquered Jiangdong, and my lord has a successor. This double happiness has come to me in Xuzhou. It is a great joy."
Mi Heng could not hold back his anger and took the lead in saying: "It's just that if this son is a girl, that's fine. If he is a boy, he is the eldest son of the lord, and his biological mother is Mrs. Feng. This... can
Something is wrong."
????????Hearing this, the hall fell silent.
????????? Even warriors such as Huang Zhong and Wei Yan now realized what Mi Heng meant by inappropriateness.
????????In the eyes of later generations, the only difference between a son and a father is before and after birth, and there is no difference in status. However, in the Han Dynasty, when status was emphasized, it was completely different.
????????Because its original intention is mixed with the purpose of consolidating family property and power, the distinction between elder and younger, and the distinction between concubine and concubine mostly means rights, status, and the level and amount of property, and even the expression "Born from the same roots"
, the lamentation of "why worry about being fried."
????????As far as "ethics and procedures" are concerned, in the transition of power in the past dynasties, in addition to violent rise to power, its ethical basis and inheritance procedures have been undergoing continuous evolution.
????????The Xia Dynasty emphasized the "passion from father to son", and the Zhou Dynasty added the "brother to younger brother" model to the "passion from father to son". Starting from Qin Shihuang, "inheritance by the eldest son" was directly clarified by law.
system.
????????Afterwards, whether it was the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties that inherited the Qin system, or even the later Jin Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Song, Ming and other dynasties, even if there were cases where non-eldest sons such as Yang Guang and Li Shimin came to power, they still
At least in official theory and actual centralized succession of political power, the Han Dynasty has always insisted on consolidating the inheritance system of the eldest son.
????????? Popularly speaking, the eldest son is the oldest son, but not all legitimate sons are the eldest sons.
????????The difference is not difficult to understand, because "monogamy and multiple concubines" is the standard model of marriage in ancient China, that is, a man can only have one wife or no wife at a certain point in time, but
Can have multiple concubines.
????????The wife is also the first wife, and all the sons born to her are legitimate sons, and the eldest among the legitimate sons is the eldest son.
????????A concubine’s son is a concubine. However, concubines are also divided into rich and poor, high and low. The mother is more noble than the son, and the son is also more noble than the mother. There is a distinction between nobleness and growth.
?????????Especially in the royal family, the mother represents the power of the relatives, and the mother's nobleness means the strength of the relatives' family. Under the chain of contempt of "the elders are distinguished, the elders are orderly"
, the eldest son is the optimal solution for the heir, and the other combinations are suboptimal solutions, in which both the eldest son and the legitimate son will become options.
?????????But in fact, in this case, disputes will inevitably arise. If the eldest son is established, the legitimate son will definitely be unwilling, and the legitimate son will not be tolerated by those in power in the future. If the concubine is abolished and the legitimate son is established, the concubine will be
He will be even more resentful, "How can I take it away if I don't give it to you?"
An example that completely fits this dilemma appeared in Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. His wife, the empress, did not give birth to a legitimate son. Under the urging of ministers, Li Zhi had no choice but to give birth to his eldest son.
As the prince, Wu Zetian became the queen and gave birth to a son. In this way, Li Zhi had a legitimate son, so the eldest son who had been crown prince for six years gave way to the subsequent legitimate son.
????????Unfortunately, the final result was that none of the direct descendants were happy, and Wu Zetian turned to Si Chen and proclaimed herself emperor as a woman.
Speaking of which, Mrs. Feng’s identity is actually even more embarrassing.
???????Not only is she not Wang Zheng's wife, nor is she a concubine, she is also the former head wife of his great enemy Yuan Shu...
With this status, if you really get a boy and give birth to an eldest son, you will be in trouble.
