Chapter 122 Birth of an Heir (Pink Ticket 90+)

The warm spring sun in the afternoon is quietly sprinkled on a peach tree in full bloom in Jingsheyuan, attracting colorful butterflies and blooming flowers.

The maids and women in the courtyard were in a hurry, but all of them slowed down, as if they were afraid of waking up Nuan Nuan, who was sleepy in the afternoon.

The cat belonged to the cousin, Qin Yi, who sneaked into the Jingsheyuan at some point, and was lying comfortably under the pergola, squinting his eyes and dozing off.

A series of screams came from the southeast ear room, finally breaking the silence of the courtyard.

Snow Cat was also startled, and went over the wall.

It has been two hours since Dong Yuan's amniotic fluid broke, and the contractions made her almost faint in pain.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Wen, she inhaled and exhaled, but she still felt the excruciating pain.

Mrs. Sheng did not enter the delivery room, but placed a white jade Guanyin in the Xici room, lit incense, knelt on the futon and prayed for Dong Yuan.

The screams made her feel uneasy, and several sutra recitations were interrupted.

A little maid accompanied her.

Mama Kang and Mama Luo, Juhong, Qiangwei, Xunfang, Biqiu, and Yaotao from Jingshe Hospital were all waiting in the delivery room.

Giving birth for the first time is very hard work, and Dong Yuan's condition is already very good.

Wenpo kept saying that the grandma was breathing hard and inhaling.

Dong Yuan was sweating profusely, tightly clutching Mama Luo's hand, exerting force constantly.

"Sister Yuan, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Luo's mother was even more nervous than Dong Yuan, afraid that she would panic when she gave birth for the first time, so she kept wiping her sweat, "Come down soon..."

"Mom, Mom." Dong Yuan panted heavily, his voice was hoarse, and his consciousness was not as clear as before, "Mom, what if it's a girl?"

Luo's mother comforted her: "It must be a young master, sister Yuan, don't worry."

Since Dong Yuan became pregnant, she has never prayed to Buddha to burn incense, and she has never shy away from talking about what it would be like if she gave birth to a daughter.

She is the stepwife, and the eldest son of the Sheng family already has a legitimate son and a concubine son, so there is no need for Dong Yuan to be in a hurry to add incense to the Sheng family.Even if her baby is a daughter, Mrs. Sheng and the eldest son of the Sheng family will not treat her lightly.

So Mother Luo, Qiangwei, Juhong and the others didn't worry too much about giving birth to a daughter, and they all went along with fate.

Hearing Dong Yuan's question at this moment, those close to him were very annoyed.

It turned out that she had been worrying, but she never said it.

Kang's mother was helping, and also sighed slightly.

Who doesn't look forward to the first child being a son?

"... If it's a daughter who looks like me... and suffers all her life..." Dong Yuan said to Luo's mother in a hoarse voice while exerting force, she needed to speak to keep herself awake, "the family is always there I said behind my back that I am a vixen, I know... Mom, please pray to the Bodhisattva, bless me not to have a daughter, and don't let a girl reincarnate on me, and suffer a lifetime of suffering..."

Mother Luo remembered that Dong Yuan was in her teens, a time when she was young and beautiful. She never dared to wear brightly colored clothes and lived her life cautiously. In the end, she even offended the emperor. It rustled down.

"Sister Yuan, mother begged Bodhisattva for you, mother begged for you, he must be a son..." Mother Luo said with a sob.

Qiangwei and Juhong also had red eyes.

Mother Kang listened, her eyes slightly astringent.

It is true that everyone has their own hard work.Others said that this grandma was good-looking, but they didn't know that before she married, even a kind-hearted person like Mrs. Sheng was worried about her frivolous personality.

It's too gorgeous, but it's also bitter.

This is the suffering that others can see, maybe she has more suffering in her heart.

She was lucky to be reborn in the belly of her original wife, in a family like Zhenxianhou's Mansion.

If he had been reborn in a less fortunate family, or was born by an aunt, it might have been a bargaining chip for his father and brother in exchange for his future, and it would have been given as a gift to the rich and powerful long ago.

Things like this are all too common.

Isn't Aunt Fan from Jingsheyuan the one that King Xingping gave to the Shizi?

Mother Kang was thinking, and heard Granny Wen's joyful voice: "It's coming out, the head is coming out... Big grandma, big grandma, try harder..."

The little maid hurriedly went to report to Mrs. Sheng.

Half an hour later, the crisp sound of a baby crying came from the ear room.

*********
In the Jinluan Hall of the Forbidden Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials stood in the hall, rendering the magnificent palace a bit lively and no longer so cold and cold.

"...Sheng Xiumu, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a knife, was the first to serve King Qin in the Tingye rebellion, and was awarded the fourth-rank general Feng En by the imperial court. He is the emperor Mu Enbo, and has been hereditary for three generations." The eunuch in charge, Lou Youde's soft voice, slowly echoed in the Golden Luan Hall. It sounded, thinking of adding an official to Sheng Xiumu, the third son of the Sheng family.

Sheng Xiumu, who was waiting for the emperor with a sword around him, stepped forward slowly, kowtowing respectfully and thanking the emperor.

Mu Enbo, who has been hereditary for three generations, is considered a very high reward.

Sheng Changhou nodded slightly after listening.

He felt relieved that this award was well deserved by his son.

Then Lou Youde read Shengchanghou's reward again.He is now the Minister of the Ministry of War, and was captured because of Xiao Taifu's rebellion. Now the position of the most powerful Taifu among the three princes is vacant.

So Sheng Shangshu was promoted to Sheng Taifu.

Some people in the hall looked envious, some were jealous, some were flattering, but Sheng Xiuyi, who had just returned from the northwest, bowed his head and remained silent, his eyes became somewhat obscure.

However, the Grand Master Xue Zhenxian, who was listed as the head of the hundred officials, had brighter eyes.

He finally had a plan for another matter in his heart, so he couldn't help being happy.

Then, it was time to eliminate Taifu Xiao and Sheng Xiuyi who had made the most contributions among his henchmen.

Sheng Wenhui was promoted to Taifu, and the Minister of the Ministry of War was vacant. The emperor had already planned to let Qin Boping, the current servant of the Ministry of War and a protégé of Mr. Xue Laohou, take up the post.

After Qin Shilang became Qin Shangshu, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War was vacant, which happened to be given to Sheng Xiuyi.

So Sheng Xiuyi's reward was the Minister of War of the third rank.

Sheng Changhou was also very satisfied with this reward.

Old Master Xue was even more satisfied.

The more rewards the emperor gave to the Sheng family and his son, the corresponding compensation would be for the Xue family who also contributed to the elimination of Mr. Xiao's henchmen this time.

However, the Xue family has no sons in the court who can be promoted, so they will naturally transfer the compensation to the empress and prince in the inner palace.

When the imperial decree was given, Sheng Xiuyi stepped forward, but did not accept the imperial decree, but knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Yuanchang: "Your Majesty, I have little talent and little learning, and I beg your Majesty to take back the order."

The ministers of Mandian and Emperor Yuanchang were all slightly stunned.

"I don't have the talent to rule the world, nor do I have the merits of helping the country. The post of Minister of the Ministry of War should be occupied by those who are capable. I am ashamed that I can't take on the heavy responsibility. I beg Your Majesty to punish me severely." Marble floor, clear writing.

Sheng Changhou's face instantly became ugly.

He really wanted to step forward and scold Sheng Xiuyi.

This was his perfect opportunity, he could make a career in the imperial court, and he could also become the helper of Marquis Shengchang, but he declined it.

Next time I think about being promoted from the fifth-rank Lang of the Ministry of Punishment to the third-rank Minister of the Ministry of War, there will be no such good opportunity.

Sheng Changhou was so angry that he wanted to kick his son.

But this is the main hall, he dare not say anything.

Some of the ministers whispered to each other, and the whole hall suddenly became noisy.

Old Master Xue looked at Sheng Xiuyi's back, his expression was a little more profound and cautious, and he was also a little satisfied.

After a long while, Emperor Yuanchang coughed heavily.

The whole hall was suddenly silent.

"Since that's the case, reward Sheng Langzhong with 800 taels of gold and [-] mu of fertile land." Emperor Yuanchang seemed very embarrassed, but his tone was a little brisk.

With 800 taels of gold and [-] acres of fertile land, they were replaced by Sheng Xiuyi's third-rank minister of the military department. Sheng Changhou was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Sheng Xiuyi thanked him and withdrew.

Sheng Changhou's face turned ashen.

Then discuss how to deal with Xiao Taifu.

Those who advocate genocide account for the majority.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who never took refuge in Taifu Xiao were all punished by Taifu Xiao and hated him deeply; those who took refuge in Taifu Xiao and were forgiven by Emperor Yuanchang's grace wished to draw a clear line with Taifu Xiao.

Therefore, they all advocate the destruction of the nine Xiao clans.

Sheng Changhou also felt that Xiao's family should be wiped out, so that he would not have to marry a Xiao's daughter-in-law to enter the family.

In the end, Emperor Yuanchang still asked Xue Zhenxian, who had been silent all the time.

Old Master Xue walked steadily, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Xiao family has been in the court for more than ten years. Whether it is willing to attach or forced to join, it always involves all parties in the court. It is also his own fault that caused the court to be troubled by a single thought. Moreover, he has done a lot of hard work in the court, and he should take it as a cover. It is better to execute Xiao Yanfei Ling Chi, seize his title, and confiscate his family property. The five generations of Xiao's descendants will not be allowed to serve as officials in the court, not to be admitted to school, and expelled from the capital. Grace to Xiao Yanfei, and grace to his dependents, let the past be forgotten."

If Xiao Taifu's nine clans were wiped out, his former henchmen would naturally have to be punished heavily in order to convince them.

Just like what Old Master Xue said, he has been in power for more than ten years, and there are too many people to mention, whether it is voluntary or to frighten him.If punishment is really required, not to mention the emperor's slip of the tongue, there will be turmoil in the government and the opposition.

Master Xue's words touched the minds of many ministers.

It's just that they didn't dare to speak out, for fear that His Majesty would think that they were interceding for Xiao Shi and implicate themselves.

Although Emperor Yuanchang was not reconciled to this method of disposal, he thought that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were indeed related to the Xiao family as Master Xue said.He can't deal with the people of the Manchu Dynasty.

In this way, the political situation will be unstable.

In the end, the method of dealing with Master Xue was decided.

Xiao Yanfei was executed by Ling Chi, and his family property was confiscated. His wife, son, and daughter were exiled for thousands of miles. The son and daughter were expelled from the capital.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Has this catastrophe finally passed?

After the court, Sheng Changhou glared at Sheng Xiuyi, and walked out quickly.

Sheng Xiuyi and Sheng Xiumu had no choice but to follow.

Sheng Xiumu looked at Sheng Xiuyi worriedly.

"Tianhe..." Old Master Xue called Sheng Xiuyi behind him.

Sheng Xiuyi stopped, and when he turned around, he saw Old Master Xue and Xue Ziyou, the eldest son of the Xue family, walking over with smiles.

He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but before he could speak, he saw Lou Youde running out of breath, and called Xue Laohou, Xue Ziyou, Sheng Changhou, Sheng Xiumu, Sheng Xiuyi and others, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please speak to the royal study."
