Lu Xuan was also stunned for a moment after hearing this.
It was a good thing that Olivia became pregnant due to his dedicated work.
Personally speaking, Olivia's pregnancy will help the Lu family to flourish. The more heirs to the royal family, the better. The Ming Dynasty has been expanding over the years, and its territory is unprecedentedly vast. Without the clan's descendants, there will be many problems.
To control the territory of various places, one must be a descendant of the clan. With the descendants of the clan, all places are ensured to be in the hands of the royal family. Even if a hundred or two hundred years later, the court is in turmoil, and even if the same roommates are at war, it will still be rotten in the pot.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was still named Lu.
The bloodline inheritance remains unchanged.
If there are fewer children in the clan and the territory is unprecedentedly vast, local generals will be assigned to serve. It may be easy for the first generation of people to say that they are willing to be loyal to Lu Xuan, but after generations of people, the original love dissipates, and the people behind them become more ambitious, they may change.
In order to prevent it, the clan can only be held responsible.
In fact, there is no perfect system at all, and nothing can be done once and for all. Everything depends on the person.
Lu Xuan has no control over what happens in future generations.
All he can care about is now.
Everything is the human heart.
For the Duke, Olivia's pregnancy is also a good thing for Parthia. With Olivia's child, many things are easier to handle.
Some die-hards in the Parthian Kingdom, seeing the demise of Parthia, may become disheartened and resist desperately, and they will never agree with Lu Xuan. Now that Olivia is pregnant, these people have a little more bond, and they can't defeat Lu Xuan, so they may use the spirit of self-comfort to paralyze themselves and not go to extremes.
Lu Xuan was happy in his heart and hurried towards the harem.
There are not many maids in the palace.
That means there are enough people.
Lu Xuan arrived at the harem and saw Olivia who was pregnant. With a smile on his face, he said, "Olivia, are you uncomfortable in any way during pregnancy?"
Olivia became even softer, no longer as arrogant as before, and no longer as sharp as before. She said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It won't matter what you cut. Everything is fine."
"That's good!"
Lu Xuan took Olivia and sat down.
He looked at Olivia affectionately and said softly: "Now that you are pregnant, you need to have a good rest and don't worry about anything. There is nothing you need to worry about. Everything is about the child. Taking care of the child is the most important thing at the moment."
A touched look appeared on Olivia's face, and she said, "I know your Majesty's concern."
She suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have heard some things about the Ming Dynasty. I heard that they all like sons but not daughters. What if I am pregnant with a daughter?"
Before she was pregnant, Olivia had no worries. With An Xi gone, she was no longer a princess, she was Lu Xuan's woman. In addition, Lu Xuan was kind to her, and her family lived in peace.
Olivia's idea was very simple. Talk to Lu Xuan before joining the army.
Unexpectedly, she was pregnant.
For Olivia, when she suddenly found out she was pregnant, her thoughts changed again. She found that she had sustenance and her mentality suddenly changed. Under such a premise, Olivia is no longer stubborn and worried about her child's future.
Lu Xuan chuckled and said: "Whether it is a son or a daughter, they are all my children. My princess is the most noble princess in the world. You can rest assured of this, there is nothing to worry about. Old"
Olivia nodded solemnly, feeling a little relieved.
Lu Xuan said some other things, and arranged for people to prepare clothes for the children and arrange for people to take care of Olivia's affairs. Throughout the afternoon, Lu Xuan stayed with Olivia in the harem, comforting Olivia.
In the evening, Lu Xuancai left the harem and went to the front hall to handle government affairs.
Because of Xun Yu's presence, Lu Xuan became more relaxed in handling government affairs. He looked through the information and learned about Xun Yu's treatment of Surela, and actually appreciated it.
Xun Yu is not an ordinary person.
Xun Yu's methods are very powerful and can solve many problems.
With Xun Yu around, Lu Xuan could rest assured, so Lu Xuan didn't have any objections to the mere beating of Su Leila.
While Lu Xuan temporarily stayed in Cetixifon, Xun Yu took advantage of Lu Xuan's presence to adjust Parthia at high speed. At the same time, with the help of Surela and the stationed army, all nearby cities were adjusted and replaced with people selected from the army.
Groups of personnel were sent out to replenish local areas.
Time flies, and the golden autumn of October is approaching in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, the weather in Ctesiphon is not very cold, and the climate is very good even in October.
This day, morning.
Lu Xuan arranged for someone to call Xun Yu and Cao Cao. He looked around them, his eyes fell on Cao Cao, and said: "Father-in-law, Cao Pi has gone to the Kangaroo Kingdom. Now that you have no worries, just come with me for the time being. , attack Rome.”
"I obey!"
Cao Cao replied loudly.
Lu Xuan had specifically mentioned before that Cao Cao had already prepared. The most important point is that Lu Xuan let Cao Pi go to the Kangaroo Kingdom, which completely eliminated Cao Cao's worries. He no longer worried that Lu Xuan would not fulfill his promise, and he no longer worried that the Cao family would be trapped.
Now that the Cao family has developed, Cao Cao has no worries in his heart and only wants to expand his territory with Lu Xuan. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Cao will also leave a heavy mark.
Lu Xuan nodded, looked at Xun Yu again, and said: "Xun Qing, you have been here in Taixi Feng for a while. Your control over Taixi Feng and the resting place are enough to operate normally, right?"
Xun Yu confidently said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the government affairs of Ctesiphon are running normally. Your Majesty can send troops to Rome at any time. I also understand the climate of Constantinople. Unlike the bitter cold places in Xizhou, many places are year-round. It’s all covered in snow.”
"Constantinople's climate is such that even in the dead of winter it won't snow. The climate is not too cold and it is fully capable of fighting."
"During these times, I have already sorted out the money and food in the treasury. I also got a lot of supplies from the inspection of the Parthian nobles. In addition, Surella disposed of a large number of Zoroastrian clergy."
"The food and grass needed for the war are completely sufficient and can be supplied in full for a long time."
"I support your majesty in fighting."
"In addition, according to the news previously reported, the country may be attacked by Rome and the American Federation in the Far East at any time. The sooner Your Majesty solves Rome, the pressure on the imperial court in Nanjing will be less."
Xun Yu said: "To sum up, I support your majesty in starting the war."
Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with joy and he said: "With Xun Qing's words, I won't worry anymore. Tomorrow morning, the army will set off towards Constantinople."
Xun Yu and Cao Cao both agreed, and after discussing the details with Lu Xuan, they went to prepare separately. Lu Xuan arranged for people to notify Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Xiahou Dun and Ma Chao. He called them one by one and told them the arrangements for the expedition tomorrow morning.
When the generals heard it, their spirits were lifted.
Together with Lu Xuan, these people have long been dissatisfied with standing still, and want to make achievements that will last forever. One by one they agreed excitedly and went to prepare and make arrangements for sending troops.
One day passed, and in the morning of the next day, Lu Xuan left Olivia to raise her fetus in Taixi, and took Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others, as well as the army under his command, towards Constantinople.
