When Nanzheng began to build a palace two years ago, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty wanted to prevent the Wei army in Guanzhong from going south, and also to facilitate the governor's army from marching north to Guanzhong.
Not only did they build Guancheng at several road crossings in Hanzhong, but they also specially moved the Prime Minister's Palace out of Nanzheng and built it on the plain to the north of Nanzheng.
What happened next is clear.
The Wei army in Guanzhong really made a big move.
Unfortunately, due to the dangerous roads in Hanzhong, the Han Prime Minister was initially confused by Cao Zhen's massive feint attack.
In addition, Sima Yi went upstream and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty visited Hanzhong in person, so the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty had to keep most of his main forces in Hanzhong.
After the Battle of Xiaoguan, the Wei army in Guanzhong lost the strategic advantage of taking the initiative to attack within a few years and turned to defense.
In addition, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was stationed in Hanzhong, so the Prime Minister's Palace was moved back to Nanzheng according to the rules of the Han Dynasty, and was located next to the imperial palace.
After the banquet in the palace, more than a hundred soldiers escorted the Prime Minister back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was already late at night.
Huang Yueying, who had been waiting, helped Zhuge Liang to sit down on a chair, and then asked someone to bring the sobering soup that had been prepared long ago.
She poured the soup herself and brought it to Zhuge Liang's mouth. She complained: "I don't know what my body is like. I didn't come back earlier to rest, and I drank so much wine."
"I'm so happy." Zhuge Liang was drunk, his hands and feet were weak, and he lay back on the chair. "All the ministers are here. The emperor is here to persuade me. If I leave the table halfway, what will others think?"
"Then you shouldn't drink so much!" Huang Yueying said half-annoyedly while serving Zhuge Liang to drink the hangover soup, "Do you want to die?"
"Excessive drinking can harm your health. In order to prevent Zhao Zilong from drinking, Zhao Ma personally went to Longyou to watch. You don't even look at your current body. Do you really think you can still withstand the torture?"
"It's not like this big man has been so cautious in the past two years. After all, he is the emperor's father-in-law. If you tell the emperor, who dares to persuade you to drink..."
Huang Yueying served Zhuge Liang after drinking the sobering soup, and then asked someone to bring a hot towel to wipe his face, while chattering.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty was drunk and impatient. He just "tsk" and reprimanded: "It's really a woman's opinion! Looking at the kings and ministers of the past generations, it is easy to be good at the beginning and difficult to overcome in the end."
"It took a lot of effort for the big man to reach this situation, so he should be more cautious. As the prime minister of the big man, if I dare to slack off even one point, believe it or not, everyone from the emperor to the officials will dare to slack off even three points..."
Huang Yueying was worried that his body couldn't bear it, so she said a few more words.
Unexpectedly, the man in front of me drank too much wine and dared to scold him with a mouth full of alcohol. At that moment, he couldn't help but gnash his teeth secretly.
But seeing his drunken appearance again, I had to hold back this breath for the time being.
At the same time, I thought to myself, let’s see if you can still get drunk tomorrow? I’ll settle the score with you then!
She kept busy and changed the Prime Minister into a set of pajamas custom-made by Nanxiang Workshop. After struggling for a long time, she finally helped him to rest on the couch.
Unexpectedly, not long after I lay down, there was a knock on the door. At the same time, the maidservant called out urgently at the door: "Prime Minister, madam, someone from the palace has been sent over."
When Huang Yueying heard this, she was about to stand up, but she didn't expect that the burly Prime Minister, who was sleeping beside her and had been silent, was working faster than her, and suddenly a corpse appeared!
"Where are the people in the palace?"
The prime minister wrapped himself in a pajamas and ran to the door barefoot and asked.
"In the front hall."
"Quick, help me get dressed!"
The palace sent someone here at this time, fearing that something serious might have happened.
The Han Prime Minister hurriedly put on his clothes and went out like a gust of wind.
The prime minister's wife was left alone sitting on the couch thinking about a question:
Isn't he drunk?
In the front hall, before Zhuge Liang entered the door, he already asked urgently: "What happened in the palace?"
Xiaohuangmen quickly bowed and saluted: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty, please ask Madam to enter the palace as soon as possible."
The Han Prime Minister was startled.
Such weird requests...
"Prime Minister, after the banquet, the queen began to have abdominal pain. The doctor said that the queen was about to give birth, so your majesty would like to invite my wife to the palace."
According to the rules, when someone is giving birth, it is best for a woman who has given birth to stay next to the delivery room.
First, you can enjoy the blessing of safe childbirth for these women.
The more important reason is that at critical moments, the experience of these women may be able to help.
It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and it was already midnight. In his haste, the first thing Adou thought of was naturally at his prime minister's house.
After all, the palace and the palace are all integrated...
Of course, the most fundamental reason is that at this time, those who are qualified to enter the palace to accompany the delivery room, and who can also enter the palace immediately, are the prime minister's wife and Zhang Xiahou.
After understanding all this, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate at all and quickly returned to the backyard.
"Has Madam ever fallen asleep?"
The Prime Minister's wife, who was thinking about "Schrödinger was drunk", heard footsteps outside the house and was about to get up to take a look. Unexpectedly, the sound had already arrived before the Prime Minister arrived.
"Oh, I've been awake all this time. Your Majesty, you need to see Alang for something urgent, right?"
Huang Yueying knew that Alang had just attended the banquet in the palace, and it was still late at night, and the emperor suddenly sent someone over again. It was most likely because of something urgent.
So how can she sleep peacefully?
She saw the Han Prime Minister rushing in front of her like a gust of wind:
"Madam, please pack up quickly and prepare to enter the palace."
"Enter the palace?"
Huang Yueying raised her brows. She actually still had some anger left in her heart, and she was thinking of choosing a time in the next two days to talk to the Han Prime Minister about tonight's events.
"The Queen is in labor, and His Majesty sent someone over to ask Madam to enter the palace and accompany her in the delivery room."
Zhuge Liang explained urgently.
Upon hearing this, Huang Yueying knew that this matter could not be delayed, so she had to put aside her thoughts and quickly started to clean up.
After a while, the car of the prime minister and his wife, escorted by soldiers, hurried towards the palace.
After entering the palace unobstructed, Zhang Xingcai's intermittent screams of pain could be heard in the delivery room.
Zhang Xiahou arrived one step earlier than the prime minister and his wife and was waiting outside.
The little fat man was walking around, unable to rest for a moment, muttering to himself, not knowing what he was thinking, and looking very nervous.
Seeing Xiangfu coming, he quickly greeted him, "Xiangfu..."
"Is everything going well, Queen?"
In fact, the Prime Minister, who used to look calm when things happened, now had a rare expression of anxiety on his face.
Not just because this is the queen's second child.
The more important reason is that this is a child conceived in the land of Longxing, Emperor Gaozu.
Coupled with Xiao Guan's victory, the child in the queen's belly was endowed with extremely important political significance.
It was so important that even the prime minister of the Han Dynasty paid great attention to it.
It can be said that this matter is related to the country's foundation.
If there is an eventuality, like the Queen's first child, the publicity effect of the big man's hard-earned victory over the years will be compromised.
What's more important is that when the time comes, someone will really say something wrong:
Didn't it mean that this was Emperor Gaozu's appearance? Now it seems that even Emperor Gaozu cannot save Han Zuo.
That's really disgusting.
"Why are you so anxious? Listening to the queen's voice, I'm afraid it has only just started. How can it be so fast?"
Huang Yueying was extremely careful throughout the whole process from preparing for pregnancy to giving birth to Zhuge Zhan, which left a very deep impression on her.
Just by listening to the queen's voice at this time, one could tell that she was still strong enough.
Zhuge Liang knew that the palace had been prepared, so he didn't say much. Instead, he turned around and went to the front hall, summoned Guan Xing and Zhang Bao who were staying in the palace, and ordered them to personally lead the army to inspect the palace.
Even if something big happens, people can't be disturbed inside.
After arranging all this, take a look at the night sky. It is already the third watch and it is not appropriate to open the palace gate again.
So Zhuge Liang simply stayed in the front hall and waited for news.
It's just that tonight seems to be a particularly long night. It's just the third watch. The Prime Minister of Han Dynasty came back and walked around for an unknown number of times. When he looked back, he saw that it was still the third watch.
It was not until the fourth watch that the cold night suddenly rose, and the Han Prime Minister suddenly covered his chest for some unknown reason.
His breathing suddenly became rapid, and at the same time he felt his heart beating suddenly and rapidly, and his vision became a little blurry.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sit down on the desk, took a few deep breaths, and lay down for a while with his eyes closed before he recovered.
But after a while, he started coughing again, until there was a faint fishy smell in his throat, and the coughing reluctantly stopped.
Clearly feeling the changes in his body, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh. He knew that his body was no longer as good as before.
In the past two years, I have stayed up late to deal with government affairs, and my body has often experienced this condition, which is really uncomfortable.
The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, who knew his destiny, showed a bit of unwillingness on his face.
How wonderful would it be if I had just entered the age of immortality at this time?
It would give at least ten more years.
Not only can Feng Yong let go of his hands and feet without any scruples, but he can also test whether Jiang Wei is a half-length beauty.
Unlike now, I have to start preparing for my death...
The Han Dynasty Prime Minister who was guarding the front hall thought of Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and Wu...
Amidst the confusion of thoughts, the white fish belly appeared unknowingly on the east side.
When the first ray of golden light shot through the sky, a loud cry pierced the palace.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have a little prince. Mother and son are safe."
The delivery room was pushed open, and a female medical worker came out to announce the good news.
When Adou heard this, he said "ha" and then raised his palm: "Ah! What a son!"
Although he had been guarding all night, Adou was very excited. The eyes and nose on the little fat face were squeezed into a ball, and he raised his feet to rush in.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. There's still blood inside, so we need to clean it up."
The female medical worker was well prepared and quickly stopped her.
Adou was not annoyed when he was stopped by a female medical worker, and even stopped obediently.
After all, the reputation of Nanxiang Medical College is there, and now everyone in the country knows that Nanxiang Medical College has excellent medical delivery skills.
In other families, if ten children are born, twenty children must be mentally prepared to go through hell.
If you put them in Nanxiang Medical College, they can snatch fourteen or five from the gate of hell.
For the remaining five or six, if Nanxiang Medical College can't do anything, then it's really their fate and there's no one to blame.
Adou stood on tiptoe and looked inside, shouting: "Queen, Queen, are you okay?"
Zhang Xingcai's weak voice came from inside: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
"That's good, that's good!"
After receiving Zhang Xingcai's response, Adou rubbed his hands excitedly and was wandering around outside the delivery room for a while, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Xiahou and Huang Yueying are women, so they can enter the delivery room in advance.
Zhang Xiahou looked at Adou who was still spinning around in circles, and couldn't help but remind him:
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Prime Minister stayed in the front hall last night and never left the palace. The Queen gave birth to a son. Why didn't you send someone to inform the Prime Minister?"
"Ah? Yes, yes! I forgot about this, someone!"
Adou was about to send someone, but he suddenly felt blessed. He glanced at the delivery room and continued, "Please lead the way. I will tell my father-in-law myself."
The Han Dynasty Prime Minister who was in the front hall felt that he could no longer hold on, his mind was dizzy, and he was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, when suddenly a voice came from afar: "My lord, my lord!"
Zhuge Liang was suddenly awakened again. He was so excited that he quickly stood up and looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw Adou coming towards the path here regardless of etiquette.
"Your Majesty, is the Queen ever safe?"
"Peace, peace!"
It was obviously the end of August in the early morning in Hanzhong. Instead of being hot, there was a slight coolness, which made people feel very comfortable.
However, Adou was sweating profusely as he ran: "Xiangfu, the queen gave birth to a prince, he is a prince, Xiangfu!"
"Seriously? That's great!"
Zhuge Liang was happy, and all the fatigue in his body disappeared.
"Father, go quickly, go quickly."
Adou took Zhuge Liang's hand and urged him repeatedly.
Yi Di and Yi Xiang came to the delivery room again. The room was finally cleaned and ready for entry.
Zhuge Liang is the father-in-law, so there is no need to be taboo.
After the two went in, they saw Huang Yueying holding the child and coaxing her, while Zhang Xiahou was sitting on the edge of the couch, holding a bowl in his hand and feeding the queen soup.
Just by smelling the smell, Zhuge Liang knew it was ginseng soup.
Because when he was dealing with government affairs at night, he often relied on ginseng soup to refresh himself.
Adou first looked at the couch and called softly: "Queen?"
Zhang Xingcai's hair was still a little wet, and when he saw a chubby face, a smile appeared on his tired face: "Your Majesty, this is my son."
"Yes, yes, I understand. He is his son and the future crown prince of our great man."
Adou responded quickly.
It must be the prince, this is undisputed.
She was conceived in response to the spirit of the great ancestor, she was conceived in response to the great victory at Xiaoguan, she was conceived in response to the recovery of Liangzhou, and she was born in response to the expansion of territory.
The most important thing is the eldest son. Who dares to say that he is not the prince?
After hearing this, Zhang Xingcai's face, which was originally full of tiredness, suddenly became radiant.
Seeing that Zhang Xingcai was fine, Adou carefully retracted his head and looked at the child in Huang Yueying's arms.
This is the child that he and the Queen have been waiting for for nearly ten years.
He carefully took it from Huang Yueying's hand, looked at it happily for a long time, and then looked at the Han Prime Minister:
"Father, why don't you give me a name?"
Zhuge Liang saw that both the queen and the prince were safe, with a smile on his face. Suddenly he heard Adou's words and hesitated slightly: "This... is against the rules."
Although the late emperor established the foundation without so many red tapes, he is still a prince, and as a minister, how can he overstep his bounds?
"The person who is your father-in-law means that your majesty takes care of things like your father. If you are like your father, why is it inappropriate to name your father-in-law?"
Zhang Xingcai, who was lying on the couch, said, "My father-in-law is extremely talented. It is a blessing for this child to be named after my father-in-law."
"That's right, that's right, the first emperor established the foundation, and the first emperor established the Han Dynasty. Without the first emperor, the Han Dynasty would be cut off, and without the first emperor, the Han Dynasty would be difficult to prosper. Now that the first emperor is gone, I can only look up to the first emperor."
"Moreover, last night my father stayed in the front hall and gave Wu Lang a name that was most appropriate. Who dares to say it is against the rules?"
Adou's "Follower" skill starts to activate.
The Han Prime Minister naturally knew that the matter was not as simple as Adou said. It was obvious that the emperor and empress were paving the way for this child.
But Zhuge Liang didn't have much objection in his heart.
After all, in the past year, the political color given to this child is too unusual.
So he stopped refusing, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"The Book of Songs Daya says: Born to be a good man, his destiny is Chen. There is no beginning for extravagance, and there is an end for nothing. Chen is sincerity, so why not just use the word Chen?"
"The late emperor has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and he treats his ministers with sincerity. I only hope that the fifth prince can inherit the legacy of the late emperor and make the great Han Dynasty continue."
These words almost expressed his attitude.
Adou was overjoyed and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang looked at the emperor again and said one more meaningful sentence: "Your Majesty, the great man has now become a good man. I only hope that your Majesty will remember this sentence in the future."
Adou was stunned.
There is no beginning for extravagance, and there is an end for Xian Ke?
