MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 1346 Nie Zi

  Chapter 1346 Nie Zi

   Time has come to June in a blink of an eye.

  Empress Wei gave birth and gave birth to the prince.

   "It's not right to calculate the time. I was accepted as a concubine by the general Zhao in October last year, and entered the palace for the saint at the end of November. This is the time. The prince's month is not right."

   "I heard that this child is full-term, not premature."

   "Hiss!"

  In Luoyang Academy City, in a private room of a restaurant, several students were chatting while drinking, but they were talking about a new and important event in Luoyang City.

  Empress Wei gave birth to a prince, but those who cared about it got it wrong. It has only been seven months since the emperor accepted her into the palace, but it is rumored that this prince was born at full term, not prematurely.

In this way, the child does not belong to the emperor, but should belong to the former king of Zhao, Li Jue, who was deposed as a commoner and then beheaded in half. Wangfu, the time is in October, counting the time, it happens to be the full term of the child.

   "Hey, this is an anecdote in the world. It's not a big deal for the emperor to force his son's concubine to enter the palace, but why did he make such a thing?"

   "Should this be the prince or the grandson?"

  Someone took pleasure in others' misfortune, "If the second prince is still here, how should he be called? Brother or son?"

"Hahaha."

  Since the turmoil in Xuecheng last year and the incident of the Six Gentlemen, countless students in Xuecheng and scholars who came to Beijing to rush for the exam have a bit of resentment towards the emperor.

After nearly a month of quarreling, in the end the leading six gentlemen were imprisoned and deprived of their academic status and honors. In addition, a total of more than 3,000 students and more than 1,000 juren were also arrested and imprisoned. Hundreds more were sent into exile.

  Not only these are affected, the general examination this spring has been cancelled, and even all the imperial examinations for this subject have been abolished, as have the previously admitted Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren.

  Many students and scholars studied hard and finally passed the exam, but the result was this result.

   Who is not angry.

   Those students who participated in Luoyang Academy City also left a record file, and they were punished once.

  Although the students and people couldn't hold their arms against their thighs, they still had accumulated anger in their hearts. Now that something like this happened, everyone spread it actively and secretly with the intention of watching a joke.

  Last year, many people not only blamed the emperor, but also took Webster's side by side. They felt pity for Su Shi, Prince Xiang, etc.

   Now that Webster has given birth to a son, there is no reason for everyone to be unhappy when this happens.

In the previous turmoil, the Qin family was also hit hard. Originally, Qin Qiong and Qin Lang had good reputations. One was a heroic general who founded the country, and was praised as the number one general in the Tang Dynasty. He also had the titles of heavenly king, door god, and war god. Blessing, there is also a name of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.

Not to mention Qin Lang, who went in and out of the court, and even led troops to fight for the Tang Dynasty many times. The most important thing is that he led the reform of the Zhenguan New Deal. Scholars and literati, merchants, artisans, or peasants, which one will not benefit?

  Qin Qiong and Qin Lang are not the kind of people who are greedy for power and take credit.

  In the last turmoil, the second concubine of the Qin family was demoted to common people, the eight princes and five princesses were demoted to useless people, and the six sons of Qin Qiong were also demoted to civilian status. Of course, everyone sympathized.

  So contrary to the unanimous dissatisfaction with Webster, the Qin family has a better reputation among the people after the experience last time.

  Nowadays, the reserve position is empty. In fact, many people hope to make Qin Wang Li Xian the crown prince.

Because the fourth prince, Li Xian, is now the longest living prince. The eldest son, Li Xiang, had been the prince for fourteen years, but he ended up being murdered in half for treason. The emperor was not spared either.

  The third prince Li Yi died young.

  But because Wei Shi is the queen, Wei Shi's son is more qualified to be the reserve, but now it is rumored that Wei Shi's son belongs to Zhao Shu, so naturally he is not eligible.

  Many people even colluded and encouraged secretly, planning to take this opportunity to discredit Webster and abolish him.

   At that time, please take advantage of the situation and invite the imperial concubine Qin to be the emperor, and the king of Qin Li Xian to be the prince.

  ······

   "Why hasn't His Majesty come yet?"

In the Honghui Hall, Empress Wei who had just given birth was still a little weak, and her aunt, Concubine Wei Huangchen, was also helping to take care of her in the hall. Webster had given birth to several children, so she was considered rich in experience, but with the little baby in her arms, Concubine Wei Chen But can't laugh.

  This child is very healthy. He weighed nine catties when he was born. He is white and fat, and has black hair, which is long and black.

  The cry is also loud, and the breastfeeding is also very energetic.

   At this time, after eating, I don’t cry or make trouble, and go to sleep sweetly.

This was originally a healthy and lovely child, but Concubine Wei Chen sighed inwardly. If calculated according to the time when Empress Wei entered the palace, even if she was conceived just after entering the palace, it should be less than seven months now. May grow so well.

  Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this child must belong to the deceased Second Prince.

  Concubine Wei Chen even felt that the child's face was very similar to the Second Prince's, which terrified her.

  It's only been three days since this child was born, but now Luoyang is full of wind and rain.

  There are all kinds of discussions, and the Wei family members have taken the opportunity of letting the female relatives into the palace to visit the queen and children to remind them more than once.

  Emperor hasn’t even visited it once.

  Concubine Wei Chen sent people to invite the emperor more than once, but the emperor always said that he was busy with government affairs.

   "The saint is discussing military affairs with the rulers of the Privy Council and has no time to leave."

  The emperor did not come, nor did he receive any rewards.

  Empress Wei lay pale on the couch, and finally couldn't help but buried her head in tears.

  Concubine Chen handed the baby to a nurse, and asked her to hold the baby to sleep, then came to sit next to the queen, and persuaded in a low voice, "Don't cry during confinement, or you will leave the root of the disease."

   "What should I do?" Empress Wei cried.

   Concubine Chen looked at Empress Wei. She should have known about this matter long ago, but she didn't tell anyone from the beginning to the end, and deliberately concealed it. Now everyone is caught off guard.

   But Concubine Chen didn't think Empress Wei was smart, and in the harem, she couldn't escape the emperor's grasp. The concubines' fortunes are all recorded in the files, and they will be consulted and checked after pregnancy. The medical skills of the imperial doctors after Empress Wei became pregnant can clearly calculate the time of pregnancy.

  So all of this should have been under the emperor's control.

  But the emperor still let the child be born.

   No one can guess the emperor's mind, but now, this child is definitely not a good thing for Empress Wei or the whole Wei.

  The Wei family can claim that the child was born prematurely, but they can't fool the emperor, nor can they fool everyone who can see the child. This nine-pound fat boy is by no means a premature child born less than seven months old.

  ······

   "The child looks so cute, big fat boy."

   "Look at the black and long hair, look at the big and round eyes."

  After receiving the invitation from Empress Wei, the Qin sisters finally came to the Honghui Hall. The two sisters boasted about the child, and Wei Shi kept telling them to hug and tease the child.

   "The queen has just given birth, she is weak and needs a lot of recuperation, we won't bother you today, and I will come to see you another day."

  The imperial concubine Qin Shu handed the child back to Webster.

  Qin Wan also said, "The child is hungry and needs milk."

  Qin Shu asked the attendants to bring up the prepared gifts, but they were ninety-nine pieces of gold, silver, copper and other special laundering money, wishing for healthy growth. There is also a set of jade pendants and poetry books, which is also a good wish.

  The gift Qin Wan gave was similar.

   "Come back another day."

  Empress Wei and Concubine Wei Chen sent them to the gate of the palace.

  ······

"ah!"

  In the hall of Honghui, there was a sudden sound of crying.

   "Come on, tell the imperial doctor!"

  ······

   Xuanzheng Hall.

  Emperor Li Yin was discussing matters with several ruling members of the Privy Council, and they were talking about the Battle of the Southern Expedition. Wang Xuance hung the seal of the general who conquered the South, and joined the marching commander of the Pyu Yue Road to lead the army to conquer the Pyu country.

Not long ago, there was a great battle with the Pyu Army in the Songyan Valley of the Pyu Kingdom. The battle report submitted was that Wang Xuance commanded three thousand elite cavalry from the Tang Dynasty, eight hundred war elephants, eight thousand soldiers from the Yongchang, Lishui, Tonghai, and Erhai tribes, and Battle of the Hussars.

   King Pyu personally led the army, and his troops dispatched a total of 12,000 cavalry, 2,800 war elephants, and 60,000 infantry.

  In this battle, the Pyu Kingdom also came from all over the country, and the king personally conquered it.

However, Wang Xuance had already had countermeasures. He had just divided his troops and light cavalry to harass the Pyu country and lured the Pyu country to take the initiative to attack. However, Wang Xuance had already built many fortresses on the front line of the border, built the fortifications, and had enough reserves. Grain equipment, etc.

  Even the battlefield was selected by Wang Xuance in advance.

Step by step, the hussars were introduced into the preset battlefield. In the final battle, the hussars relied on the large number of war elephants and launched a fierce attack on the Tang army's line. Pretending to be frightened and retreating steadily, the elephant army was lured away from the large formation of the hussars.

  Then led the Pyu Elephant Army into the jungle. At this time, the archers who had been ambushing on the big trees in the forest shot the elephants with magical rockets.

  These arrows are all tied with rockets. When they are launched, they can be boosted to increase the shooting range, and they can also explode, making loud noises and flashes of fire.

   They also lay mines in the woods and so on.

  When the 2,800 war elephants of the Pyu Kingdom led thousands of elephant soldiers to chase and kill Tang Qi into the forest, they mobilized and attacked. Immediately, rockets flew randomly and landmines exploded one after another.

   Earth-shattering, fire flying all over the sky.

  The war elephants of the Pyu Kingdom are big and bulky. Although they have been trained, they have never seen such things.

   Suddenly frightened and panicked, the Pyu war elephants were shot and killed in large numbers in the jungle, and the rest of the elephants ran around in fright.

  Finally, he was driven by Tang Qi to turn around and escape from the jungle, but he was driven to charge towards the army of Hu Guo infantry who was following behind.

Driven by countless rockets, the remaining nearly 2,000 elephants crazily rushed towards the hussars, and the huge war elephants trampled all the way. Tens of thousands of horsemen from the hussars were crowded in the river valley, so crowded that it was difficult to escape , Countless casualties were trampled on.

   And behind the terrified elephants in the Pyu Kingdom, Tang cavalry and Fan cavalry, elephant soldiers, and infantry sent by Wang Xuance rushed out.

   This battle turned into a massacre.

In the narrow river valley, tens of thousands of hussars collapsed, trampled on each other, and were mercilessly harvested by the Tang army. The massacre lasted for three days. The Tang army kept chasing them, but the hussars did not dare to turn back and fight from the beginning to the end. , keep running.

  The king took the lead in fleeing, and then the senior monks and nobles of the Pyu country fled in all directions, and no one cared about others.

  In fact, although Wang Xuance used tricks to destroy the war elephants of the Pyu kingdom, and counter-driven the elephants to break through the formation of the Hus army, but as long as the Pyu king is willing to fight, they still have a strong advantage in strength and can still fight again.

   It's just that the Pyu people have never seen the magic rocket and the magic mine. They are just like those war elephants, scared and panicked, and what kind of **** descended.

  Essentially, the army of the Pyu Kingdom is also a coalition army of the vassal states and tribes of the Pyu King Alliance.

So from beginning to end, the hussars spent a few months gathering more than 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, and it took a long time to march all the way to the northern border. Except for the sentry battle with the Tang army scouts along the way, the real A war was fought.

   Even only halftime.

  The whole army of the elephant army attacked, aggressive and brave, and marched forward indomitably.

   Then in less than an hour, the whole line was defeated, and it was defeated by thousands of miles.
