Chapter 2416: Han Gravedigger Ying Long
Ren Hongchang's pregnancy was a happy event for the entire Qin Dynasty, but it was a bad thing only for Liu Mu.
She is Ying Hao's first wife, and she is also a queen like Ren Hongchang. Both of them are great masters and have difficulty getting pregnant. But now Ren Hongchang is pregnant before her. You can imagine how much pressure she feels.
As soon as Ren Hongchang became pregnant, everyone from the emperor to the emperor and the empress dowager gathered around her.
Once Ren Hongchang gives birth to her eldest son, everything she has now may be legitimately taken away by Ren Hongchang. This is something Liu Mu cannot bear no matter what.
Therefore, Liu Mu desperately wanted to get pregnant. Although even if she got pregnant now, she would still be slower than Ren Hongchang, but what if Ren Hongchang gave birth to a girl?
Liu Mu began to take chances, but she was a grand master, but Ying Hao was not. It was obviously not that easy to get pregnant.
Liu Mu felt that Yun Xiao and Ren Hongchang were both pregnant. There was no reason why she couldn't get pregnant. It must be because she and Ying Hao didn't work hard enough.
With this idea in mind, Liu Mu pestered Ying Hao every day, vowing to make a baby.
If it was just about making babies, Ying Hao would naturally have nothing to say. After all, he felt sorry for Liu Mu. However, in addition to making babies on a daily basis, Liu Mu also asked Ying Hao to drink some tonics and even eat medicated meals.
Ying Hao couldn't bear it when he was always being troubled by this. He went to the Xinzheng Armory to inspect, just to avoid Liu Mu and have peace and quiet, but in the end, he accepted Arthur, a stranger from a foreign land.
Ying Hao actually didn't want Liu Mu to get pregnant at this time. After all, Ren Hongchang's baby was most likely to be a boy, and if Liu Mu was left with a boy, it would most likely lead to fratricide in the future. This was Ying Hao's wish. Hao didn't want to see it anyway.
Ying Hao knew this, but he was still willing to fully cooperate with Liu Mu in making a baby. Firstly, he could not refuse Liu Mu, and because he knew that the chance of Liu Mu becoming pregnant was low.
After all, it was luck that Yun Xiaohui fell into a spirit immediately, and Ren Hongchang's pregnancy was the result of years of hard work. There was no reason that Liu Mu could become pregnant so quickly.
Ying Hao thought that Liu Mu could not get pregnant so quickly, so he cooperated with her fully, but he never expected that Liu Mu would actually become pregnant.
"Sun Simiao, what did you tell me before?"
Ying Hao held Sun Simiao's collar and gritted his teeth and said, "It is said that it is difficult to have children when a grand master and a non-grand master combine. Why are the two queens pregnant now?
If you don't tell me the reason today, believe it or not, I will chop you up and throw you out to feed the dogs. "
Ying Hao's actions made Sun Simiao so frightened that his face turned pale, his hair became weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
He really didn't understand that it was obviously a good thing for the Queen of the West Palace to be pregnant, but why would His Majesty the Emperor hold him accountable? Could it be that the Queen was pregnant with something other than...
At this thought, Sun Simiao's face turned a little pale, and he felt that he was dead now. After all, how could the emperor let him live after knowing such a big secret.
But then I thought about it, that's not right. Queen Xigong lives deep in the palace and has not had any contact with any man except herself, the imperial doctor. Could it be that Your Majesty doubts herself?
Sun Simiao's eyes widened and he cried sadly: "Your Majesty is wronged, I and the Queen are innocent..."
But before he could finish his words, Ying Hao slapped him and sent him flying out.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I will push you out and chop you right now."
Ying Hao said word by word.
"Tell me, why is it so easy for Queen Nishinomiya to get pregnant this time?"
Sun Simiao covered his face and said with an aggrieved look: "This may be because His Majesty broke through to the Half-Step Grand Master and the Gang Qi was born in his body."
Ying Hao was stunned, yes, he was already a half-step grand master, and he was not much different from the grand master.
Sun Simiao said that it would be difficult for a non-grandmaster to get pregnant, not to mention that it would be difficult even for a half-step grandmaster.
Thinking of this, Ying Hao couldn't help but want to slap himself. How could he forget that he had achieved a breakthrough?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Sun Simiao waved his hand in front of Ying Hao, but was frozen in place by Ying Hao's glare.
"Go away." Ying Hao said angrily.
"I obey the decree."
Sun Simiao felt relieved, but before he took two steps, Ying Hao had the opportunity to speak.
"If a third person hears what I just told you, you know what will happen."
Ying Hao's murderous words made Sun Simiao shudder, and he quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, did you just say something to me? Why don't you remember it?"
Seeing this, Ying Hao nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand impatiently: "Go away."
"According to the order."
After Sun Simiao left, Ying Hao sighed and said to himself: "This is going to be difficult."
Ren Hongchang's pregnancy was welcomed by basically everyone in Da Qin except those who were interested in the Han Dynasty.
But if Liu Mu becomes pregnant, basically not many people will be happy except those who love the Han Dynasty.
If Liu Mu gave birth to a girl, it would be fine, but if it was a boy, the child would definitely exacerbate the conflicts within Da Qin.
All in all, Liu Mu was pregnant this time, and she was less than a month pregnant with Ren Hongchang. It was really not the right time to get pregnant.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is here." Cao Zhengchun said.
"Um?"
Ying Hao was startled. Ever since the father and son had a quarrel last time because of Liu Mu's incident, their relationship had become a lot more tense.
Later, because of the proclaimed emperor and the restoration of the country, the relationship between father and son eased a lot, but once something breaks, it can never go back to the past.
Ying Hao guessed that Ying Wen would come to him because Liu Mu was pregnant. He sighed secretly in his heart and said, "Let the Supreme Emperor come in."
"Old slave obeys the order."
After a while, Qin Rang pushed Ying Wen in the wheelchair.
At this time, Ying Wen had white hair, sagging skin, and looked very old. He could not even stand up and could only sit in a wheelchair. He no longer had the heroic spirit of the past, which was really sad. .
Seeing this, Ying Hao came forward, took the wheelchair from Qin Rang, and pushed it while saying: "The Emperor, your old health is not good, you can just tell me if you have anything, why bother to go there yourself."
Ying Wen patted Ying Hao's palm and said, "You should already know the news about Queen Xigong's pregnancy compared to Hao'er."
Ying Hao's heart couldn't help but sink. He had already guessed what his old father wanted to say. They were all words he didn't want to hear and didn't want to hear.
"Hao'er, today's Great Qin is very strong, but there is a huge hidden danger, and that is Liu Mu."
Ying Wen grabbed Ying Hao's hand and said seriously: "Hao'er, as a father, I still say the same thing. Liu Mu can give birth to my Ying family's heir, but it cannot be a boy, let alone the eldest son, otherwise it will bring disaster. The way."
"Your Majesty, you are just pregnant with this child, how do you know whether it is a boy or a girl?
What's more, Hong'er was pregnant one month earlier than Mu'er. Even if she wanted to give birth, it would be Mr. Hong'er. How could Mu'er give birth to his eldest son. "
"How do you know if that woman Liu Mu would deliberately give birth to a child prematurely for the sake of her eldest son's status?" Ying Wen sneered.
"Um, this..."
Ying Hao had a look of helplessness on his face. He knew that Ying Wen had always been biased against Liu Mu, but he didn't expect to speculate so maliciously on Liu Mu. People said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was difficult to get along with, but why was the relationship between his own father-in-law and daughter-in-law so bad?
"The Emperor is too worried. Mu'er is definitely not such a person."
Seeing that Ying Hao was still defending Liu Mu, Ying Wen looked like he hated iron and said in a deep voice: "Hao'er, in the face of such a big issue of right and wrong in the country, you can't pretend to be clear and confused.
If Liu Mu is really premature and gives birth to his eldest son, can you accept that a person with the blood of the Liu family will inherit the country of Da Qin? "
Ying Hao really didn't care about this. After all, no matter which woman gave birth to him, he was still his son, and they were all the same in his eyes.
Of course, knowing that Ren Hongchang would give birth to a holy son, Ying Hao would definitely be more inclined to let his and Ren Hongchang's children inherit Da Qin, but that did not mean that he would not treat Liu Musheng's son as his son. .
But old people like Ying Wen cannot accept it no matter what. A descendant of the Liu family will inherit Da Qin after Ying Hao, and they cannot even allow this child to be born.
Ying Hao knew that he could not convince Ying Wen, so he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Then what do you always say?"
"Same as before, if it's a daughter, keep it. If it's a boy, get rid of it secretly. If you can't bear to be cruel, I'll do it for you as a father." Ying Wen said expressionlessly.
"you……"
Ying Hao laughed in anger, which meant that the person who said this was his biological father in this life. If it had been anyone else, he would have slapped him to death without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, I won't do this, and I won't allow you to do this. I don't want to hear such words anymore. Let's stop this topic. We haven't seen each other for a long time. We must have two drinks today."
Seeing Ying Hao's attitude, Ying Wen was also full of helplessness. He couldn't help his son grow up.
His son has been independent since he was a child. Once it is something he believes in, no matter what anyone says, it is useless.
He really regrets it now. If he had rejected the marriage between his son and Liu Mu, there would not have been so many things.
Ying Wen didn't want to quarrel with his son, so he didn't continue talking and planned to find another opportunity in the future.
While eating, Ying Hao asked without any warning: "Your Majesty, I want to see Ancestor Ying Long."
"Hao'er, how do you know this person? My father probably hasn't mentioned it to you, right?"
Ying Wen looked surprised and didn't understand how Ying Hao knew.
"Of course I have my own intelligence channels."
Ying Hao had no intention of explaining, and there was no need to explain. He was the emperor of Qin, and he did not need to explain clearly when doing things, even if the target was the Supreme Emperor.
"If my father didn't know about my ancestor before you returned to Luoyang, my father always thought that my ancestor was dead, but recently my father took the initiative to contact me, and my father was preparing to introduce you to Hao'er. I didn’t expect you to bring it up on your own initiative..."
It turns out that more than ten years ago, when Zhulong was chasing Yinglong, he did not know the relationship between Yinglong and the Qin family.
Yinglong also knew that once his relationship with the Qin family was exposed, Zhulong and even the Han Dynasty would not let the Qin family go, so he never contacted Qin again until he completely recovered from his injury not long ago and learned that Da Qin had returned to the country. news.
Yinglong never expected that during the more than ten years he was recovering from his injuries, the world would change so much, and that the Qin family would complete the restoration of the country without his help, and all the credit for this would be lost. Attributed to his brother Qin Shan's grandson, Ying Hao.
Ying Long spent most of his life fighting for the restoration of the country. He rebelled against the Han all his life but achieved nothing. Instead, it was his grandson Ying Hao who overthrew the Han and allowed the Qin Dynasty to successfully restore the country.
Ying Hao was eager to meet Ying Hao, so he asked Ying Gou and the general to contact Qin Wen and asked him to arrange for him to meet Ying Hao.
Under Qin Wen's arrangement, Ying Hao met Ying Long that day.
After Ying Long saw Ying Hao, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, regardless of the age, seniority, strength, etc. differences between the two parties, and said, "Ying Long, a common man, I would like to see His Majesty the Emperor of Qin."
"It's impossible, ancestor, please get up quickly, this is absolutely impossible."
Ying Hao quickly helped Ying Long up. The other person was considered his grandfather by blood, so how could he let his grandfather kneel down on him, but he couldn't help Ying Long up.
Yinglong knelt down on one knee and said with a serious face: "I am kneeling down for no other reason than to thank Your Majesty for restoring our great Qin."
"As a descendant of the Ying family, this is Ying Hao's responsibility."
After saying that, Ying Hao went to help Yinglong again, but this time Yinglong didn't refuse and stood up directly.
"I have spent half my life rebelling against the big man, and I have spent all the savings of my Ying family to do so. Not only did I achieve nothing, but I almost got my family involved.
Your Majesty raised the army to restore the country. After many hardships, I couldn't help you at all. I'm really ashamed. "Ying Long said with a face of shame.
Ying Hao couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. Has he been anti-Han all his life? What kind of development is this?
After some questioning, Ying Hao learned about Ying Long's past. It turned out that Ying Long had been plotting a rebellion long before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and was also preparing to encourage hundreds of families to rebel.
Of course, Yinglong did not expose his relationship with the Qin family and always acted in his own name.
But he still underestimated the big man's background. Just when he broke through to the Half-Step Profound Realm and thought he was invincible, Zhulong, the guardian of the big man, caught his eye.
At that time, the Han Dynasty was able to overwhelm hundreds of families, and it was obvious that his background was still very strong. The number of great masters was not less than that of Great Qin, and after discovering such a great rebel like Ying Long, it was naturally impossible to let him continue to live.
But at that time, Yinglong's strength was not only invincible, but few could rival him.
Zhulong was not completely sure, so he took more than a dozen great masters to surround and kill Yinglong.
Ying Long only has two great masters, Ying Gou and Jiang Chen, so how can he withstand the pursuit of the powerful men of the Han Dynasty?
Just when Yinglong was about to die, political strategist Gui Guzi asked the Shangqing to take action and saved Yinglong's life in time.
The situation then became increasingly out of control, with Taoism, various schools of thought, and other forces involved, and Shangqing even teamed up with Yinglong to severely injure Zhulong.
Without Zhulong, who was at the quasi-half-step profound realm, it would be impossible for the ordinary great masters of the Han Dynasty to be Yinglong's opponents?
What everyone didn't expect was that Yinglong single-handedly killed all the great masters of the Han Dynasty except Zhulong.
Since then, Yinglong's name has become a taboo, and with all the heritage of the Han Dynasty lost, and a new great master has not grown up, it is naturally difficult to suppress the various schools of thought, so there were the Yellow Turban Uprising and the Hundreds of Schools. The family is restored.
