In early August of the second year of Tianqi, after a month of recuperation, Lord Protector became busy again.
In addition to the upcoming quelling of chaos in Shaanxi, military operations around Sakhalin Island have also been put on the agenda by the Lord Protector.
In early August, Lord Protector dispatched troops from Liaodong and Northern Zhili troops to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion. At the same time, he contacted the generals in Northern Zhili, Shandong, and Liaodong, and asked them to assist the expedition leader Li Sanguang in selecting team members, and began to form the second batch of expedition teams to launch revenge operations against the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Three days before the departure of the Western Expedition, that is, at the beginning of the afternoon on the fifth day of August in the second year of Tianqi, Zhang Yan, the wife of Gaoming, successfully gave birth to a baby boy in the west wing of the Lord Protector. Mother and child were safe.
Shaoyao and Jin'er helped deliver the baby in the house. The two maids were busy for more than an hour. Finally, under the watchful eyes of all the Kaiyuan generals, they carefully put the baby on a scale to weigh it.
"Seven pounds and two taels."
Liu Zhaosun hurriedly came from the camp and grinned: "You are so stocky, you will be a fierce general in the future!"
Kang Yingqian smiled from ear to ear, stroking his beard at his infant "grandson" who couldn't open his eyes:
"No wonder I saw the red light filling the Duke Protector's Mansion last night and it didn't dissipate for a long time. It seems to be auspicious!"
The news spread, and everyone in Kaiyuan learned that there was a successor to the Protector of the Country, and the army and civilians celebrated loudly.
The "little lord" that many people have been longing for has finally appeared.
God bless Kaiyuan.
Various visions about the birth of the "little lord" quickly spread among the people.
Someone saw that when Mrs. Zhang was giving birth, the Duke Protector's Mansion was "filled with purple energy."
I also witnessed with my own eyes that "sometimes there are two dragons playing outside the hall gate, and they leave in three days."
According to people who have seen the "little lord", in the bedroom where the baby is, "red light surrounds the room, and a strange fragrance lingers. There is a golden color in the body, which does not change for three days."
Such rumors spread in the capital, and they only directly named Liu Zhaosun and said that he wanted to proclaim himself emperor, and that his son also wanted to be emperor.
You don't need to think about it to know who is the communicator behind these rumors. Apart from Kang Yingqian, no one should be so professional.
In any case, the great cause of the Protector of the Country finally has a successor.
All the officials in the capital congratulated the Lord Protector one after another. The gold, jade, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that the officials in the capital sent to his house were piled up in piles.
Emperor Apocalypse Zhu Youjian also sent his confidant Wang Chengen to send congratulatory gifts. After the prince ordered the young eunuch to put down the gifts, he went to look for Ma Shiying. Qiao Yiqi informed him that Ma Zhizhou had gone to Sakhalin Island.
"Kuyi Island? He was also exiled?"
Qiao Yiqi said without hesitation:
"What exile? We went to negotiate with the Rakshasa Kingdom. Our people just had a fight with the Cossacks on Kuyi Island last month."
Wang Chengen's eyes turned, and he quickly pulled Supervisor Qiao aside and took out a scroll from his sleeve.
"I heard that Qiao Jianjun loved calligraphy and painting the most. This is Dong Qichang's posthumous work in the imperial edict - "Pictures of Civil Rebellion in Wuzhong"."
Qiao Yiqi immediately got goosebumps all over her body when she saw Wang Chengen's charming face.
Thinking of the mysterious death of his friend Dong Qichang in Zhenfusi Prison the year before last, Qiao Dazui couldn't help feeling sad:
"It's pitiful that Dong Xuanzai Qingfeng has two sleeves, but in the end he was implicated by the mob. Anyway, I will keep his paintings for his family first. I wonder what your father-in-law means?"
Wang Chengen looked around and saw no one coming, so he quickly lowered his voice and said:
"To be honest, our brother-in-law is originally from Hejian Prefecture. He went to Sanyuan to do business last year. He didn't run out when he heard that the city was besieged. I wonder if he can survive this time? When I think of this miserable sister, our family feels sad every night. Can't sleep."
Qiao Yiqi put away his friend's legacy, patted his chest, and said loudly:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we will dispatch 8,000 troops this time..."
Wang Chengen asked quickly: "Eight thousand? How can it be eight thousand? Our family heard from the Shaanxi censor that Mizhi alone is 30,000 bandits."
Qiao Yiqi chuckled and looked at the young father-in-law with a caring expression.
"Eight thousand are just the first batch of troops, equivalent to the vanguard. The Lord Protector also asked the Manchu and Guangxi soldiers to assist, and the garrisons from various places in Beizhi will also be dispatched..."
~~~~~
Liu Zhaosun finished his military duties and couldn't stop looking at the infant baby in his arms.
"She looks a lot like me and has big ears, so I'm relieved."
Liu Zhaosun murmured to himself, while Zhang Yan lay on the bed and smiled haggardly:
"My husband really loves to joke. Who else could he be if he wasn't like you?"
Liu Zhaosun laughed.
Liu's bloodline will be continued in this child.
Everything will move forward smoothly, no matter whether he really died short-lived like Ke Zhen'e said.
There are successors to Kaiyuan's great cause.
The Protector was still racing in his thoughts when he suddenly heard the sound of sobbing. When he looked down, Zhang Yan suddenly started crying.
Liu Zhaosun hated to see a woman cry the most, so he quickly dismissed the maids and guards, sat on Zhang Yan's bedside, and asked her softly why she was crying.
"In three days, Deng Changxiong, Sun Chuanting, Wu Xiao and others will lead their troops into Tongguan. The Rakshasa Kingdom in the north is about to attack Sakhalin Island. The army is really busy. I haven't spent time with my wife and children these days. It's mine. fault."
Zhang Yanlihua said with tears:
"I'm just worried about your husband's health. You've just been recuperating for a month, and I don't know if you're completely healed? I heard from Medical Officer Song that if it relapses next time, it will be Hua Tuo's reincarnation, and it won't be cured."
The Protector was stunned for a moment, holding the child with one hand and holding Zhang Yan's little hand with the other.
"Don't worry, Madam. The memorial is now being handed over to the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Both sides are staffed by our people. I only read it occasionally. I won't stay up late every day like before."
Zhang Yan struggled to sit up, and the Protector quickly called his maid Shaoyao, handed the child to Shaoyao, and helped his wife to stand up.
Zhang Yan smiled slightly, her eyes glowing like the moon reflected on a clear river, as if the entire sky had darkened.
"Is the cabinet controlled by Mr. Yang Ge?"
Liu Zhaosun said without hesitation: "Exactly."
Zhang Yan's eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she curled up on the bed, holding her knees with her hands, looking pitiful.
"Mrs. Jin was born in the Korean Yangban. She ran the red Buddha at night and played drums in the Hunhe River. She was loved by her husband and supported by the Chinese Army Guards. Mrs. Yang is now the daughter of the chief minister of the cabinet and her husband's first wife. After all, after all, We, mother and son, are the only ones who have no one to rely on. I heard that the Kang Supervisor Army offended Mr. Yang Ge this time. From now on, my husband will be away at war, so I will only suffer a little injustice. I will only suffer for this child."
Zhang Yan said and started crying again.
Liu Zhaosun was at a loss and quickly comforted him:
"Madam, you are serious. You three sisters should love each other. Where are these fights? Besides, I will mediate them. Although you finally came to Kaiyuan, no one dares to bully you."
Zhang Yanwu kept crying, and the baby next to her also started crying even more.
Liu Zhaosun sighed, knowing that he was being manipulated by Zhang Yan, so he had no choice but to promise her:
"Okay, okay, I understand. If Mrs. Yang has no offspring, I will make this son..."
~~~~~~
At that time, the rebellion in Shaanxi was not yet over, so the Protector named his child Liu Kan, which meant that the Western Expedition would be an immediate success.
After Kang Yingqian, Ma Shiying and others heard about it, they resolutely opposed it.
Lian's father-in-law, Yang Hao, quoted scriptures and advised: "Erya says, "Kan means to defeat the enemy, and the war will be very heavy, which is really ominous."
Zhang Yan, who was recuperating, was so angry that she fainted when she heard this name for her son.
Liu Zhaosun had no choice but to touch the back of his head and mumble:
"What? The word "kan" is so powerful and domineering. If that doesn't work, then call him Liu Kan. It's really useful!"
So the child's name was decided to be Liu Kan, who later became the famous Han prince Liu Kan in history.
