Queen Mother He and Queen Mother Dong also came in at this time, looking at the red and wrinkled little guy with different expressions.
Queen Mother He was so happy that she hugged the little guy in her arms, stared at the little guy, and said with a smile on her face: "This is my grandson... exactly like Bian'er when he was a child..."
She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She had arranged so many women for Liu Bian before, but Liu Bian didn't like it. He finally accepted a Tang concubine, but her stomach didn't move for a long time, which made her worried. She arranged a lot more, but Liu Bian He didn't even touch it, which caused the Queen Mother He to have bad guesses.
Now that her fat grandson was finally in her arms, Queen Mother He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Empress Dowager Dong stood aside and looked at the newborn with a somewhat complicated attitude.
The birth of this child meant that Liu Xie had completely lost her chance, which naturally made her feel very unhappy.
What is a little comforting is that with this child, Liu Xie will lose opportunities and the danger will be greatly reduced. The government and the public will not look at Liu Xie with covetous eyes and try every means to impeach and frame him all day long.
Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bian's wariness will be reduced by half!
At this time, not only Cai Yong was there outside the door, but Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Xun You, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and others were all here, standing at the door with smiles on their faces, and they felt relieved. With this tone, the big stone that had been pressing in my heart for a long time suddenly fell to the ground.
After a long time, Liu Bian hugged the little guy and walked to the door surrounded by people.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, all the courtiers raised their hands and saluted, their voices loud and clear, echoing endlessly in Yongning Hall.
Liu Bian was happier than everyone else. He looked at them and said loudly: "Reward! The ministers have three days off, and there will be a big banquet tonight!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The courtiers responded in kind and bowed again.
Liu Bian didn't say much, just explained a few words, let Pan Yin make arrangements, and then went back with the little guy in his arms.
The ministers gathered together and reluctantly left in twos and threes under the guidance of the chamberlain.
Walking at the front was Yang Biao, followed by Wang Yun, Huangfu Song and others. Everyone was smiling and looking kind.
Yang Biao even turned around and exchanged a few words with Wang Yun.
Wang Yun showed a smile on his indifferent face and raised his hand politely.
The 'decisive battle' that had not completely started between the two disappeared in silence.
The courtiers were very excited, but the happiest person was Cai Yong.
He walked among the crowd, inconspicuous, but his face was full of contentment and ambition.
Cai Yong had a good reputation, but when he was the late emperor, he was depressed and frustrated. He only had a small "Yi Lang" by his side. He had so much power but nowhere to show it.
Now, not only is he too regular, his daughter has also given birth to the emperor’s eldest son!
According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty royal family, it won't be long before he may be able to become a highly respected minister and show off his ambitions!
While Cai Yong was thinking about it, his colleagues around him suddenly seemed to understand and greeted him warmly and politely.
It didn't take long for the crowd coming out of Yongning Hall to walk towards the Suzaku Gate and divided into four groups.
Yang Biao took the lead and had a small number of followers.
Then came the lonely Wang Yun.
Then came Xun You, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao and four or five others.
Behind him was a large group of people, surrounding Cai Yong, mainly composed of Liucao Shilang, Jiuqing Shaoqing, etc., totaling more than ten people.
Pan Yin was very busy, busy setting up the place for the banquet, and then running to the imperial kitchen, followed by Liu Bian.
With the birth of the emperor's eldest son, the entire palace was as busy as the New Year.
Waiting for the night, Liu Bian and the little guy appeared in Quefei Hall, let the courtiers see it with their own eyes, and then sent him back to the harem.
He and his ministers drank happily, which was even more lively than when Liu Xie got married.
The joy in the palace will overflow. The successive happy events in Luoyang City are very useful in diluting all kinds of nastiness in the government and the public.
…
Three days later, Jingfudian study room.
Cai Yong stood opposite Liu Bian and introduced the few words handed to him.
This was naming the emperor's eldest son. Liu Bian sat on a chair and stared at a few words on the paper. In fact, he was just staring at one: Shao.
"Shao, okay."
Liu Bian examined it for a long while, then nodded slightly.
'Shao? '
Cai Yong was greatly moved, and he quickly raised his hand and said, "I will go and inform Zong Zheng to record the music score."
Liu Bian hummed and took out a jade plaque from the drawer. The upper part had the word 'Liu' in it, and the lower part was empty.
Looking at the word 'Shao' again, Liu Bian held the carving knife and carved it carefully.
Pan Yin quietly walked in from outside. Seeing Liu Bian's concentration, he didn't dare to disturb him and silently withdrew again.
Liu Bian was extremely serious in carving and did not dare to make any mistakes.
This kind of jade is extremely precious, and if you make a mistake, it will be wasted.
For half an hour, Liu Biancai stopped, continued to play and polish, carefully completing the work and striving for perfection.
It wasn't until Liu Bian put down the carving knife and started threading the jade rope that Pan Yin came over in small steps and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Cao has begun to move."
Liu Bian didn't even raise his head and said, "Order Dian Wei to select three hundred guards to protect the Liucao and other government offices."
Pan Yin responded and said: "Your Majesty, there are voices from the Yushitai, requesting that the Yushitai should also be moved out of the palace."
Liu Bian put on the jade belt, held it in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Pan Yin: "How about it? When the sheep is older, I will bring it to him."
Sheep?
Pan Yin was startled, and then said as if he had some realization: "Your Majesty, is His Highness's nickname Yang'er?"
Liu Bian's eyes were fixed on the jade plaque and he said, "Yes, my name is Shao."
'Shao? '
Pan Yin chewed on the meaning of this word, and felt secretly in his heart. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty must have liked it if it was carved by your own hands."
Shao - continue, meaning to inherit!
Taking the word 'Shao' as its name is self-evident!
Liu Bian raised his head and glanced at him, and said: "Don't move at the censor's desk. Send the message out again, don't send any more gifts to the palace."
Liu Shao's birth was a shock both inside and outside the palace, and some people began to send gifts to the palace in various names.
Not only Cai Wenji's Yongning Palace, but also Empress Dowager He's Changle Palace have not been spared, and there are more and more trends.
"Yes, I will go and deliver the message right now." Pan Yin responded and turned around to go out.
"Send a message to the Chancellor again and make preparations for the autumn harvest." Liu Bian put the jade tablets into the drawer and added.
Pan Yin turned around quickly and said, "Yes."
After waiting for a while, seeing that Liu Bian had no other instructions, he quietly left.
At the same time, there was chaos in the Chancery.
Liu Cao and other institutions are moving out of the palace, tables, chairs, boards, memorials, etc., a large group of people are coming and going, the ground is very messy and noisy, like a vegetable market.
There are only three rooms that are not moved, Yang Biao, Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo, who are almost always empty.
Yang Biao has been very diligent in his work recently. A large number of memorials are on the desk, divided into categories, and given instructions one by one.
Wang Yun's duty room was relatively quiet. He was immersed in his desk and writing furiously. The four words "cut redundant officials" in large letters were extremely eye-catching.
The "cutting off redundant officials" project is huge, especially the details. Every detail requires careful calculation and careful planning. Wang Yun did not discuss with the Yushitai and the officials to prepare a big framework for one person before he discussed with the officials. Cao, Yushitai discussed.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was still a lot of noise outside. Wang Yun’s face was as heavy as water and he turned a deaf ear.
The clerk on duty pushed open the door, came over with a teapot, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to change to a quieter place?"
Wang Yun didn't say anything, and buried his head in writing. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a memorial in the hand of the clerk, and said indifferently: "What's the matter?"
The clerk poured the tea, then handed over the memorial and said: "Your Majesty, Jizhou Yingshao's memorial is asking the imperial court to send more reinforcements."
Wang Yun paused, took the memorial, and asked doubtfully: "I remember that the imperial court increased its troops by 15,000 people. Isn't that enough?"
After reading the memorial, Wang Yun frowned deeply.
Ying Shao reported in this book that the Heishan Army was hundreds of thousands strong and stretched across the entire border between Jizhou and Youzhou. He was unable to seek a battle and had lost control of both front and rear. He was trapped in Chou City and was in urgent need of reinforcements from the imperial court.
Wang Yun knew the situation of the imperial court very well. Almost all of the 100,000 troops in the imperial camp were scattered in the northern states, and there were no more troops to send.
The only one who is more 'free' is Qingzhou Cao Cao.
But Wang Yun was very afraid of Cao Cao. In his opinion, this man named Gu Yingshi was definitely not a kind person!
It's better not to give him a chance. Once he becomes powerful, he will be more dangerous than Dong Zhuo!
After thinking for a long time, Wang Yun had no idea and said, "Please pass it on to the Prime Minister."
The clerk responded and exited the check-in room with the memorial.
When it was in the hands of Yang Biao, Yang Biao was also helpless and transferred it to Da Sima Mansion.
Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi discussed it again and again, wrote down their opinions, and sent them to the palace.
Jingfu Hall.
Liu Bian examined the memorial for a while, then looked at Pan Yin and said, "There is still no news about Huangfu Jianzhang?"
Pan Yin bowed and said, "No, not even at the Imperial City Mansion."
Liu Bian looked thoughtful. The development of the situation in Jizhou exceeded his expectations.
He sent Zhang Liao's 15,000 men and Zhao Yun's 10,000 men into Youzhou. The total military strength of Youzhou and Jizhou is close to 60,000. Huangfu Jianzhang should not have no news for two months.
After a while, Liu Bian put the memorial into the drawer and said: "Put it away for now and do what you are doing. Tomorrow, we will hold a meeting in Shizhonglu. Sili, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou will carry out comprehensive land clearing and household clearing." Register.”
"Yes." Pan Yin responded, turned around and went out.
Liu Bian picked up his pen and reviewed the memorial in front of him.
…
Jizhou, Changshan State, Zhending County.
Ying Shao stood at the top of the city, looking at the Black Mountain Army roaring past outside the city, his always calm and calm expression full of concentration.
Lieutenant Zou Jing, the lieutenant next to him, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, if we continue the fight, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
Ying Shao turned around and looked at the city. They were all old, weak and disabled. There were less than 5,000 people who could pick up swords and guns.
Ying Shao clenched the sword at his waist and said, "Then Zhang Liao still refuses to send troops to help?"
Zou Jing said solemnly: "The Black Mountain Army has completely occupied the Zhongshan Kingdom. The army is heading straight for Julu. Zhang Wenyuan cannot come to help even if he wants to."
Ying Shao raised his head and turned to the north, saying, "Where is Zhuo County?"
Zhuo County is now guarded by Zhonglang General Zhao Yun with 10,000 troops. Ying Shao has long sent a message asking for help, but no news has been sent back in a month.
Zou Jing was about to speak but hesitated, and finally said: "Your Majesty, there is no news from Zhuo County. From the looks of it, I am afraid that the Black Mountain Army has also been surrounded."
Ying Shao's expression gradually darkened, and he looked sharply at the north, muttering to himself: "So, isn't the Black Mountain Army coming out in full force... What are they going to do?"
Zou Jing was startled and said: "Didn't the envoy judge earlier that they colluded with the rebellious Yuan Shu and wanted to capture Yanzhou and connect with Yuan Shu?"
Ying Shao shook his head, his face more solemn than ever before, and said: "Now it seems that this may not be the case."
"Then why are they?" Zou Jing was puzzled.
Although the Black Mountain Army also came from the Yellow Turban Army, it has changed. The Wuthering Mountain Forest mainly focuses on looting and does not have any big ambitions. Especially after accepting the imperial court's recruitment, the scope of activities is limited to the junction of Bing, Hebei and Youzhou. .
But this time, not only was the invasion long-lasting and wide-ranging, it was more like an all-out attack. This was so unusual!
Ying Shao's head throbbed with veins and said: "Send a message to the aristocratic families in various places, asking them to send young men to support them. Let's make the interests more clear. If it really falls, the whole of Jizhou will definitely fall again, and they can't ask for it. good."
Zou Jing smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, thousands of people came in the past few times, but now I'm afraid no one will come. I heard that all the major families have transferred their money to secret manors, and all the young and strong people are here." That guard."
Ying Shao naturally knew it and said, "Send it."
Zou Jing understood, treating a dead horse like a living doctor, and said: "Yes, I will go immediately."
"Your Majesty, the thieves are attacking the city again!"
Before Zou Jing could leave, a military prince suddenly said urgently.
Ying Shao turned around and saw the Black Mountain Army appearing all over the mountains and plains again, approaching the city gate in an orderly manner.
Ying Shao's heart was heavy, his expression remained unmoved, and he said calmly: "Defend the city."
Seeing Ying Shao's calmness, the soldiers took one breath and prepared to defend the city to the death.
The Montenegrin Army seems to be sure to win the battle, attacking quickly and fiercely, without fear of death.
Ying Shao commanded the defense of the city in an orderly manner without any fluctuations. For such a long time, he had become proficient in defending the city without much panic.
The battle lasted until evening, before the Montenegrin army receded like a tide.
Ying Shao looked at the countless blood, broken limbs and corpses on the city head with an expressionless face, walking slowly and comforting them.
Zou Jing walked over with one arm hanging down, vomited blood, and said: "Your Majesty, retreat, there are less than three thousand people left."
Ying Shao shook his head and said, "You can't throw it away."
If the truth is lost, the Black Mountain Army will take the opportunity to occupy the entire Changshan Kingdom, which is equivalent to the fall of half of Jizhou, and then the Black Mountain Army will meet in Julu.
The fall of the entire Jizhou can be counted on one's fingers.
Jizhou is connected to Sili, and the Black Mountain Army's frontline will be directed at Luoyang!
Zou Jing quickly thought of the consequences, gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to kill all these traitors!"
Ying Shao's face remained motionless, but his heart was filled with worry.
He knew that all the soldiers and horses from the Forbidden Army camp had been dispatched. If he could not hold Jizhou, the whole journey from Wei County to Sili's Hanoi and then to Luoyang would be a dead end!
At this time, Zhuoxian County, which was far away from Changshan Kingdom, was indeed surrounded by the Black Mountain Army.
Zhao Yun stood at the top of the city and shouted to Shuai Yudu, the commander of the Black Mountain Army who came to persuade him to surrender: "If you can survive thirty junctures under my command, I will surrender you. Do you dare to fight!?"
Now, everyone knows about Zhao Yun's reputation. He defeated Wen Chou, who defeated Hua Xiong in one round, and knocked him down with one shot. Who dares to try such a reputation! ?
Wen Chou may not have a good reputation, but Hua Xiong is a veteran of Xiliang and has amazing combat power. Wen Chou who can defeat Hua Xiong is naturally stronger, but he is still killed by Zhao Yun with one move!
Yu Du rode a horse and stood outside the range of the archers. He smiled and said loudly: "No one knows the reputation of General Zhao Zhonglang. I consider myself invincible. But General Zhao Zhonglang, please understand that the sky is dead and the Han Dynasty will perish. Be aware of the current affairs." He is the hero! If General Zhao Zhonglang is willing to surrender, I recommend that Zhao Zhonglang will be the commander-in-chief of one side, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he will be at ease. Why not serve the Han court and live happily?"
Zhao Yun pointed his spear and shouted: "How dare you, the cowards, to surrender to me? One day, the heavenly troops will suddenly arrive, and I will teach you to die without a burial place!"
Seeing that Zhao Yun was unwavering, Yu Du snorted coldly, turned around and left.
When Zhao Yun saw him leaving, he put away his gun and went downstairs, heading straight to the county government office.
When they came to the backyard, they saw Huangfu's second son sitting on the ground, staring at the fragmented maps in front of him.
Zhao Yun came in, put his spear aside, looked at him and said: "Second Young Master, the food in the city cannot last for ten days."
Huangfu Jian stared at the map, touched his chin, and said with a strange expression: "It's strange. From the summer harvest to the autumn harvest, what are these people going to do?"
The Montenegrin Army launched an invasion of Jizhou, which lasted for several months. In the past, the Montenegrin Army looted and retreated, and never spent time sieging or attacking the city. This kind of long war was extremely unusual.
Zhao Yun knelt down opposite him and said solemnly: "Xianbei and Wuhuan invaders, Liu Shijun can't escape, and there is no reinforcements to support him. If Zhuo County fails, the consequences will be disastrous."
In frontier places like Youzhou and Bingzhou, the land is barren and the population is sparse. Once the big city is broken, other places cannot be defended at all and will quickly fall into the hands of the enemy.
Huangfu Jianchang turned a deaf ear to this and was still staring at the map, looking around and muttering to himself: "That's weird, that's weird, they are desperately trying to occupy Jizhou, what are they trying to achieve..."
Having said this, Huangfu Jian suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the 'Giant Deer', and couldn't help but said in a voice: "Salt!"
Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this and said: "Second Young Master, are you saying that they are here for salt?"
"That's right, that's right,"
Huangfu Jianchang was so excited that he lay down on the map and poked the 'Giant Deer' hard with his finger. He turned to look at Zhao Yun and said, "It must be! If they robbed it for money and food, it would be fine. The imperial court is now in full swing. , there are armies everywhere, and it is impossible for the Black Mountain Army to gain a foothold in Jizhou! Therefore, they are here for salt, which can not only make a fortune, but also cut off the imperial court’s financial path! "
Zhao Yun had followed Liu Bian for a short time and naturally knew that Liu Bian valued the salt administration. His expression suddenly changed and he said: "Second Young Master, what should we do now?"
Huangfu Jianzhang suppressed his excitement and tried his best to calm down his mood. The corners of his face were twitching and his teeth were grinding. After a moment, he said: "Don't panic. Julu has Zhang Liao's fifteen thousand men. It's not that easy to break through!"
Zhao Yun's expression remained calm and he said: "Then we cannot allow these traitors to be so rampant!"
Suddenly, Huangfu Jianchang laughed nervously.
When Zhao Yun saw this, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Second Young Master?"
Huangfu Jianchang got up and sat cross-legged, with 'proud' written all over his face, and said: "Zilong, we have known each other for such a long time, I haven't told you my glorious deeds yet, have I?"
Zhao Yun was a man of serious words. He raised his hand and said, "Second Young Master, please speak frankly about your strategy."
Huangfu Jian long touched his chin and said: "This matter must start in June last year. At that time, His Majesty valued me very much..."
Zhao Yun stood up directly, grabbed the spear and went out.
He and the second young master were trapped in Zhuoxian County for more than two months, and he knew the second young master very well.
Huangfu Jianchang also knew Zhao Yun's temperament, so he quickly got up and chased after him, saying: "Zilong, listen to me, listen to me."
Zhao Yun got on his horse and ran straight to the city gate.
Huangfu Jianchang jumped into the air, looked up at him, and sighed: "Old Shi, I miss you."
That night.
Zhao Yun, who had always been guarding the city, suddenly opened the north gate of Zhuoxian County and galloped away.
The Black Mountain Army besieging the city was caught off guard and could not stop it at all. They could only watch Zhao Yun break through.
Yu Du came to the empty Zhuoxian City, with a look of hatred on his face, and said: "Zhao Yun has been hiding for so long, and he actually ran away like this. He really has wasted his reputation, bah!"
A military lord behind him stepped forward and said: "Commander Qu, Commander Bai Qu ordered us to trap Zhuoxian County. What should we do now that Zhao Yun has escaped?"
Yu Du sighed again and said, "Why should I listen to him? Who is he?"
After cursing this sentence, they quickly looked around and saw that they were all his people. Then they hummed and said: "Then Zhao Yun must have gone to Liu Yu, not to Jizhou. It's no big deal. Get ready, we will go to the real place in three days." Certainly."
The Junhou paused and said, "Commander Qu, is three days too late?"
Yu Du strode forward and said: "You know nothing! Now, you are going to attack the city and die; three days later, you are going to the city to be popular and drink spicy food. How do you choose?"
The military lord immediately flattered him and said, "Qu is handsome and wise!"
What the military lord didn't know was that Yu Du would soon pay a heavy price for his decision.
