You get Lu Bu as your starting character.

Two months flew by.

The unrest in various parts of the Great Zhou has subsided, and those evil spirits that have jumped out have been basically eliminated under the vigorous crackdown by the East Factory.

The entire Great Zhou returned to a rare state of peace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne, reviewing memorials.

In the past two months, Zhou Chen has been busy until late at night almost every day, reviewing various memorials and handling various government affairs.

Although the cabinet shared the pressure for him, many government affairs still needed to be reviewed personally by him, the emperor.

After all, it is easy to be a tyrant, but it is difficult to be a wise ruler.

Especially if he wanted to be a capable and wise monarch, if he wanted the Great Zhou to prosper, and if he wanted the national fortune to rise, many things had to be done personally by Emperor Zhou Chen.

"Alas, they say that great peace will come after great debauchery."

“But it is so difficult to achieve great success!”

Zhou Chen put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

The vast territory of the Qinglong Dynasty and the entire Eastern Region were incorporated into the territory of the Great Zhou, but governing them was not so easy.

It is said that it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to rule it.

This statement is absolutely correct.

In the previous battle with the dynasty, Zhou Chen had never worked as hard as he did now.

But now, faced with piles of memorials, Zhou Chen felt an enormous headache.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea to relieve your fatigue."

Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun, who was standing next to him, immediately handed a cup of tea to Zhou Chen.

This tea is not ordinary tea, but a magical tea that can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue.

Of course, it is also of great benefit to spiritual practice.

"Any news about the demons and demon courts?"

Zhou Chen took the tea and asked casually.

More than two months have passed since the battle between the two realms, and Zhou Chen has been on guard against counterattacks from the demons and the monster court.

After all, the two great saints, hundreds of semi-saints and saints of the Demon Clan and the Demon Court died at the gate between the two realms, and their arrangements in the Eastern Region for many years were also cleared out by the Great Zhou.

With such a result, the alien races such as the Demon Clan and the Demon Court will definitely not let it go.

However, more than two months have passed and everything is calm, with no trace or news of the demons and the Demon Court.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is currently no news about the demons and monsters."

"However, I have already asked the factory guards in various places to be more careful and report immediately if they find any traces of the demons and monsters."

Zhou Chen took a sip of tea, nodded, and said nothing more.

No matter what the alien races such as the Demon Clan and the Demon Court are planning, as long as they have not arrived yet, it is good news for the Great Zhou.

The longer these alien races delay and the slower they come, the more beneficial it will be to the Great Zhou.

In the past two months, he signed in twice, and both of the people who signed in were civil officials who were not good at attacking.

If the demons and monsters really come within these two months, it may not be possible for a Saint King like Li Cunxiao to deal with them alone.

at this time.

An eunuch rushed into the Yangxin Palace and reported, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Yong'an Palace that the queen has abdominal pain and is about to give birth to a prince."

what?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen stood up all of a sudden.

Now several concubines in the harem are pregnant, among which Zhang Yan in Yong'an Palace is the first to get pregnant.

According to the calculation of time, it will indeed be in these two days.

Zhou Chen immediately said to Cao Zhengchun, "Cao Zhengchun, quickly send someone to notify the Imperial Hospital and have them rush to Yong'an Palace immediately."

As he spoke, Zhou Chen had already left the Yangxin Palace at lightning speed and ran towards the Yong'an Palace.

After hearing this, Cao Zhengchun did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the Imperial Hospital in person.

……

Yong'an Palace.

This is the palace where the imperial concubine Zhang Yan lived.

At this moment, the Yong'an Palace was crowded with people. The palace maids and eunuchs were busy rushing in and out. The atmosphere was solemn and tense.

The defenses inside and outside the entire palace are extremely tight, and any disturbance may be suppressed and killed with thunder.

Outside the palace's bedroom, an old woman with gray hair and Buddhist beads in her hand stood there quietly. Everyone who came in and out was very cautious in front of this old woman.

This old woman did not have strong power, nor did she exude any terrifying aura, but she stood there like a mountain, making people stop in their tracks and not dare to act rashly.

Because this old lady was none other than the mother of the current emperor, the old empress dowager in the Cining Palace.

In terms of status, no one in the entire Great Zhou, or even in the entire Eastern Region, can compare to him.

"Has anyone been sent to inform His Majesty?"

Listening to the heart-wrenching sound of pain in the bedroom, the Queen Mother glanced at the old maid standing beside her and asked.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, we have already sent people to the Yangxin Palace. I believe that His Majesty will arrive soon."

The old maid said respectfully.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother glanced inside the palace and said with dignity, "Tell everyone that there must not be any mistakes, especially inside. Everyone should pay attention to me. If anyone makes a mistake, don't blame me for being rude to him."

The Queen Mother's voice was very soft, but her tone made the old palace maid who had followed the Queen Mother for decades shudder.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The old palace maid knew that the Queen Mother was not joking, and that what she said was even a little light.

If anything really goes wrong, I'm afraid no one here will be able to escape.

Not only the old palace maid knew this, but all the palace maids and eunuchs in the entire palace also knew that if anything went wrong, they would all lose their heads.

Don’t talk about innocence or not. Under imperial power, there has never been such a thing as innocence or not.

After saying this, the Queen Mother said nothing more. She just stood there silently, playing the role of a mountain.

Although the Great Zhou is now thriving and there are no major disturbances in the harem, struggle is inevitable.

Just in case, the Queen Mother came to Yong'an Palace in person as soon as she received the news.

She believed that as long as she stood here, no one would dare to act rashly.

She never interfered in the struggles in the harem because she had also gone through that period.

But the premise is that fighting is allowed but it cannot harm the foundation of the country.

This is the bottom line in her heart, and it is also the current bottom line of the Great Zhou.

After a while, Zhou Chen appeared in Yong'an Palace.

Seeing Zhou Chen, the emperor of the Great Zhou, coming, the maids and eunuchs in Yong'an Palace all bowed and saluted; "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chen didn't care about these things. When he saw the Queen Mother standing at the door of the palace, he was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the Queen Mother would also come to Yong'an Palace, and even faster than him.

You know, as soon as he received the news, he rushed over immediately.

Zhou Chen hurriedly walked in front of the Queen Mother and called her respectfully, "Mother."

The Queen Mother nodded, and when she saw Emperor Zhou Chen had arrived, her expression was no longer as tense as before.

With Emperor Zhou Chen around, the Queen Mother didn't believe any accidents would happen.

"Mother, what's the situation inside?"

Hearing the sounds of pain coming from inside, Zhou Chen didn't care about anything else and hurriedly asked the Queen Mother.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother spoke up, "The doctors have already gone in. There are no special cases so far. Everything should go well. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"That's good."

Having lived two lives, Zhou Chen is about to become a father for the first time, so it is inevitable that he no longer has the peace of mind he used to have.

Although he tried his best to stay calm, the look in his eyes that occasionally looked into the bedroom betrayed his mood at the moment.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It didn't take a while.

With a cry of "Wow...", the loud cry resounded throughout the Yong'an Palace.

This loud and tender crying sounded like the sound of nature to everyone's ears, making everyone look happy.

Zhou Chen, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the Queen Mother listened to the crying of the baby and stared intently into the bedroom with indescribable anticipation in their eyes.

creak...

The door to the bedroom was pushed open, and an experienced and prudent palace maid came out holding a crying baby.

After meeting the burning gazes of the Queen Mother and Zhou Chen, the Great Zhou Emperor, the experienced and prudent palace maid hurriedly announced the good news: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine has given birth to a dragon son."

As he spoke, he quickly came to the Queen Mother and Zhou Chen, holding the baby.

Ryuko?

Hearing the good news from the palace maid, the Queen Mother and Zhou Chen both showed relieved smiles on their faces.

Looking at the baby in the cradle of the palace maid, Zhou Chen had an indescribable feeling, one of surprise and intimacy, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

The Queen Mother's face was filled with joy. She had always been worried about the situation of the Great Zhou. The Great Zhou seemed to be expanding its territory and becoming more and more prosperous. Everything was developing in the direction of prosperity, but there was a fatal flaw.

That is, the Great Zhou has no successor, Your Majesty has no children, and the royal family is too weak to take on the heavy responsibility.

If anything happens to Your Majesty, the entire Great Zhou will collapse in an instant.

But now, she can rest assured that the Great Zhou has a successor. Even in the afterlife, she will have done her duty to the ancestors of the Great Zhou royal family.

"How is Yan'er?"

After calming herself down, the empress dowager shifted her gaze from the swaddled baby to the experienced and dignified palace maid.

The experienced and prudent maid immediately said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine is fine, just a little weak, and has fallen asleep. The imperial doctors are already examining her."

"It's okay."

The Queen Mother nodded and looked at Zhou Chen. "Your Majesty, this is the first prince of the Great Zhou royal family and your Majesty's eldest son. Your Majesty, please give the child a name!"

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Zhou Chen nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Cheng Qian, let's call him 'Cheng Qian'!"

Cheng Qian?

Zhou Chengqian?
When the Queen Mother heard the name Zhou Chen gave her, a gleam of light inexplicably flashed in her cloudy old eyes.

However, calm was restored in an instant.

"Hello, Cheng Qian."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes, she said, "My dear grandson, you will be called Cheng Qian from now on. You are the eldest son of my Great Zhou. I hope that when you grow up, you can be as wise and brave as your grandfather and your father, and keep the style of my royal family."

……

The news that Concubine Zhang in Yong'an Palace had given birth to a prince spread like a tornado throughout the entire palace and even inside and outside the court in less than half a day.

All the civil and military officials who received the news were delighted.

They knew that from this moment on, the vast territory of the Great Zhou was truly as stable as Mount Tai and had no shortcomings.

Before, although the Great Zhou was as powerful as a rainbow, its military might swept across the world, conquered the Qinglong Dynasty, and swallowed up the entire Eastern Region, with unparalleled power, but there was a fatal flaw, that is, His Majesty had no children.

This problem may not seem big at the moment, but if you look deeper, you will find that this seemingly small problem actually affects people's peace of mind.

The lack of successors was the biggest factor in shaking the army's morale.

But now, the one in Yong'an Palace has given birth to a dragon son for Your Majesty, which can be said to have directly stabilized the foundation of the country and calmed the people's hearts. The Great Zhou will no longer have any worries from now on.

As for these civil and military ministers who hold high positions in the government, they will continue to be rich and prosperous as the Great Zhou remains stable and prosperous.

Perhaps the only ones who were not happy were the other concubines in the palace.

After all, one step wrong leads to every step wrong. They are all pregnant with dragon seeds. Whoever gives birth to a dragon first will have the upper hand.

Although the status of the eldest prince is not as good as that of the eldest legitimate son, he still has many advantages.

At night, the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation was brightly lit.

Zhou Chen sat upright on the dragon throne with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

In fact, this is true. Being a father for the first time, the feeling is indescribable. For the first time, Zhou Chen felt a sense of being needed, and for the first time he felt that everything he did was meaningful.

Maybe this is the greatness of life!
Zhou Chen’s mind sank into the system.

Because a month has passed, I can start a new sign-in.

He did not sign in during the day because he was in a hurry to go to Yong'an Palace. Now that he is back to the Yangxin Palace, he has taken this opportunity to sign in.

"Sign in."

Zhou Chen muttered to himself.

【Ding……】

[Sign in successfully. 】

[Congratulations to the host for gaining the loyalty of the top hero Zhuge Liang. ]

Zhuge Liang?
Crouching Dragon?

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up and he became energetic.

Speaking of Zhuge Liang, the most famous stories are the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage and the Longzhong Plan. It was because of the Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage that Liu Paopao invited this Sleeping Dragon to come out of seclusion, which enabled him to achieve the hegemony of dividing the world into three parts.

It can be said that a large part of the credit for Liu Paopao's ability to divide the world into three parts and establish the Kingdom of Shu can be attributed to this Wulong.

If it weren't for this Wolong's assistance, Liu Paopao would have been wandering for who knows how many more years.

Looking at all the top talents in the Three Kingdoms, the talent of this Wulong is definitely the best.

Otherwise, there would be no saying that if you get one of the two, you can pacify the world.

From this we can see that with the talent of Sleeping Dragon, it is no problem for him to stabilize the country.

It's a pity that such a great man ended up assisting a useless person, working hard for the country until his death, but ultimately failed to realize his lifelong wish of launching a Northern Expedition and died of illness.

One cannot help but sigh, his talent is a pity, but he is a respectable person, who truly devoted himself to his work until his death. (End of this chapter)
