Honestly. Wu Nian didn't feel much, but he also felt a little joyful.
Although it was said that Li Jinzhu conquered him, it was because of beauty. He doesn't have much affection for Li Jinzhu.
In addition, he already has many children, including two daughters and five sons.
And not long ago, Eqin and Eniang were also pregnant. Li Jinzhu is the third.
But no matter what, this is my bloodline.
A smile appeared on Wu Nian's face. He turned around in the bathtub, reached out and stroked Li Jinzhu's still flat belly, and said, "Okay. You are a great contributor to my family."
Li Jinzhu's delicate face showed joy, and she stretched out her tender little hands to grab Wu Nian's rough hands and pressed them on her lower abdomen.
She was scared.
He was afraid that he would be abandoned by Wu Nian, or that he would become old and lose his luster and be relegated to the cold palace. The child in her belly became her hope.
If she can give birth to a son and a half daughters, she is also guaranteed.
Of course, the most important thing is Wu Nian's attitude. What if Wu Nian doesn't like himself and therefore doesn't allow him to have children?
Or what if the child you gave birth to is not lovable?
Wu Nian's attitude determines her destiny.
The joy Wu Nian was showing now gave her a great sense of security.
She took the initiative to grab Wu Nian's hand and cling to her chest.
Wu Nian took the initiative to take it back and said, "Don't move. Be careful of damaging the child."
"It doesn't matter. The maids next to me all belong to the general. They are all young and beautiful." Li Jinzhu's tender face glowed like a peach blossom, and she glanced at the maids around her seductively, and said softly.
The four palace ladies are said to be palace ladies, but in fact they are all show ladies.
She has good looks, graceful figure, and is young.
Hearing Li Jinzhu's words, the maids lowered their heads slightly, showing shyness, but their eyes were so eager.
As palace maids, their fate is also in Wu Nian's hands.
Who doesn’t want to climb a branch and become a phoenix?
And if I can't become a phoenix, I'm afraid I will die alone in the palace.
In order to win Wu Nian's favor, they spoke Chinese in the palace, read Chinese books, and worked hard to control their diet and keep in shape.
"You temptress." Wu Nian scolded with a smile, but he was also quite moved.
It is really easy to go from simple to complex and difficult to go from complex to simple.
These days. In the palace, he hung out with first-class beauties such as Eqin, Eniang, and Li Jinzhu, and his life was very free.
But now that the three women are pregnant, they are not used to losing the nourishment of women all of a sudden.
And there are as many beautiful ladies in the palace as there are crucian carp crossing the river.
But Wu Nian still restrained himself. After all, he was also in his early thirties. Although physically strong, his physical fitness is at its peak.
But since then, it has also gone downhill. After thinking for a while, Wu Nian raised his head and glanced at the maids around him, and then said to one of the maids who suited his taste: "You stay here tonight."
"Yes." The beautiful palace maid who was named suddenly showed joy, as if she had won a grand prize. The other three palace maids were immediately disappointed and looked at Wu Nian with resentment.
The general is strong and strong, and I heard that his two wives (Eqin and Eniang) often sleep together.
At least two are required.
Four is not too many.
mean.
Although Wu Nian was not too involved in state affairs, he left all government affairs to Liu Zhixing and others. But in the deep palace, there are many interesting things, so you won't be bored.
Wu Nian had just arrived in the capital not long ago. The army still needed to rest and regroup, so he was in no hurry to move.
Then he continued to stay in the capital.
but. According to Liu Zhixing's plan, the government offices in the capital and palaces in various parts of Goguryeo began to be demolished, and materials, including tables and chairs, were transported to Jiang County.
Jiang County should also start expanding its inner city.
Don't delay important things.
But something went wrong again in Goguryeo.
Goguryeo originally had twenty-three mansions.
In the year of Wu, they were merged into four prefectures. Jingcheng, Jiangjie, Yizhou and other rich and fertile places in the north were merged into Lelang Mansion.
And the capital city was changed to Pyongyang City.
It's just that people still call it the capital according to custom.
Pyongyang City is not only the county seat, the prefectural city, but also the seat of the governor's office. As the saying goes, what a county magistrate fears most is being in the same city as the prefect's yamen.
Not to mention that all the third-level government offices are in Pyongyang City.
The county magistrate of Pyongyang City is under great pressure.
This morning.
The Pyongyang County Government Office opened its doors as usual, and two government officials stood guard in front of the door. They were in high spirits and stared at the passers-by.
Both of them were old yamen servants from the original yamen and were recruited by the new dynasty. When I was at work, I wasn't so active. But now that there is a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, they are also afraid of being fired, so they work very quickly.
A middle-aged woman wearing gray clothes came to the Yamen. There was a look of fear and hesitation on his face, and he was trembling and timid.
The two old government officials saw clearly and knew that there must be some grievance, but they were naturally afraid of the government when they were promoted to ordinary people.
Goguryeo was also a clan-based rural society.
Normally things can be handled within the clan or within the village itself. For example, if a woman commits adultery with a man, the woman will be imprisoned in a pig cage and the man will be beaten to death.
The government will not investigate.
And if the powerful oppress the people, the people generally don't dare to complain and just swallow their anger.
County magistrates in this world are actually very leisurely. There are not many criminal cases throughout the year. It is the officials in the yamen who really work hard.
In autumn, he went to the countryside to collect taxes and organize people to do corvee service.
Wherever there is a need to build bridges or pave roads, if the government has no money, ask the wealthy gentry to provide money or something.
In the Goguryeo period, two old government officials wouldn't have been able to take care of things. But now is a new era and a new atmosphere. The two looked at each other, and one of the yamen servants stood up and said to the woman: "Madam, this is the entrance of the yamen. You are wandering here and it is very difficult for us."
"But if something happens to you, you can sound the drum of grievance. General Fu Han is now in office, and the king will be Ming and Xing Qing. No matter what grievances you have, you can get justice."
The middle-aged woman shivered and instinctively wanted to run away. But after hearing what the yamen servant said, he was stunned for a long time, then gritted his teeth, walked up and beat the grievance drum in front of the yamen.
Follow the rules.
If the common people beat the drum of grievance, the county magistrate must go to court for interrogation.
In the old Goguryeo period, county magistrates could have had many ways to evade. For example, send the county magistrate to inquire.
But Wu Nian's county magistrate certainly didn't dare.
The magistrate of Pyongyang Prefecture is named Cui Yue. They were the Han people from Liaodong who followed Wu Nian and raised troops. Relying on his diligent work and the official vacancy left by Wu Nian's conquest of Goguryeo, he became the county magistrate.
At present, the Han Dynasty has not yet been established, and county magistrates do not have official uniforms.
Cui Yue, wearing a red wide-sleeved dress made by herself and a black gauze hat without hard wings, led the Yamen servants to the hall.
He banged the gavel as usual, and the middle-aged woman's knees were so frightened that she knelt on the ground and said, "Master Qingtian."
She spoke Goguryeo. Fortunately, Cui Yue had people around her who knew Goguryeo.
Communication between the two parties was no problem.
Cui Yue saw that the woman was timid and fearful, so she put away her scarecrow and asked her nicely. Women know everything and talk about everything. After listening, Cui Yue felt that the matter was serious and could not help but sweat slightly on her forehead.
