The devil is coming

Chapter 461 Qingming Festival!
the prince's residence;
The midwife and doctor had already gone in, and the maids kept passing things back and forth to heat hot water. Everyone was busy with a sense of panic.
Because He Sisi's screams in the delivery room were getting weaker and weaker.
No one could have imagined that the princess would give birth prematurely, let alone that the situation would suddenly become so critical.
The news that the princess had a difficult childbirth was not hidden from anyone, and there was no need to hide it from anyone.
Ji Chengjue ordered Eunuch Zhang to find Mr. He and his wife.
The woman in the delivery room is doing her best for her child, and now it seems that it may cost her her life.
At this moment, as a man, Ji Chengjue's mentality changed somewhat.
Or,
After all, he is not as cool as his biological father.
he thinks,
At this time, her father and brother should also appear here.
Ji Chengjue didn't think of using this method to encourage him. He, as a husband, couldn't do anything to encourage him here, let alone others.
He just thought that if the worst happened, she wouldn't have any regrets.
You can't blame Ji Laoliu for thinking the worst here, nor can you blame him harshly for making such a plan.
Because he cannot give birth in her place,
He can only stand here,
Listening to the screams coming from inside,
Is it possible that at this moment, I can still be full of hope, enthusiasm and anticipation to consider the child’s nickname?
Ji Laoliu is not crazy!
But, he wished he could go crazy;
The education he has received and the experiences he has endured since he was a child have formed an instinct in him, that is, the more serious events he faces, the calmer he will be.
Just like an injured person who is in pain, he cannot faint and can only bear it clearly.
However, at this time, I was so powerless.
He could only stand there, with his hands behind his back and his eyes looking straight ahead.
When the surrounding servants passed by him, they lowered their heads subconsciously and did not dare to look at him.
The He family's father and son are here. This is the first time they have entered the prince's mansion. In the past, they always came here to deliver some vegetables and meat, and they always asked the imperial guards at the gate to turn in.
Ji Chengjue and He Sisi invited them in several times, but they both refused, and they refused completely.
It can be said that they are the most low-key relatives of the emperor.
But this time, they were carried in.
After coming in, they heard the noise inside and looked at the palace maids carrying hot water and ginseng soup. No matter how confused they were, they understood what was going on.
Lao Hetou clenched his fists fiercely,
"Why is it like this? Why is it like this?"
He Chu also kept looking around in confusion, his lips trembling.
Ji Chengjue was still standing there with his hands behind his hands. At this time, he had no intention of entertaining his father-in-law and uncle.
In the delivery room, every scream from He Sisi was like a heavy hammer hitting his chest, but the more this happened, the more he couldn't bend down. He hoped that his wife could get through it, and she must get through it.
Lao Hetou instinctively wanted to go to his son-in-law to ask about the situation, but seeing his son-in-law's appearance, Lao Hetou hesitated and still did not dare to go.
It's not that he is simply afraid, but he also knows in his heart that if he goes up to ask now, he won't be able to help, and it won't help.
However, this is also where he feels most frustrated;
When other father-in-laws encounter this situation, they can come forward to question their son-in-law unceremoniously, or even directly retaliate with old punches. Even if they know that it is useless, they can at least vent the unknown fire in their chests. go out.
But here, he couldn't do it.
He Chu wanted to help, such as boiling water or delivering things, but the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went were very meticulous in their work, and there was no shortage of manpower, so there was no room for him to intervene.
At this time, having nothing to do is the most painful.
The movement here also alarmed the fourth and fifth children who lived together in the prince's residence.
The fourth child came over and frowned, looking at the scene in front of him.
Lao Wu was busy with carpentry work just now. When he heard the report from his servant, there were still wood chips on his head.
The two looked at each other and walked towards Ji Chengjue together.
The fourth child asked: "The sixth child, what's going on?"
Ji Chengjue didn't look back, didn't even look at his two brothers, he just said one word calmly:
"roll."
The fourth and fifth children looked at each other awkwardly, and both of them retreated silently, standing on the side without speaking again.
First of all, this year, Lao Liu, who had been suppressed miserably by his father, suddenly rose to prominence. A wedding made it clear that he would participate in the fight for the heir, and the prince has been constantly Memorize words while walking.
The queen passed away, and her wedding to the princess also ended without a cure.
To seize the direct descendants, before the emperor dies and the edict is announced, the so-called seizing the direct descendants actually means seizing power.
Nowadays, it is obvious that the East Palace is weak. The sixth prince is in charge of the household department and is in charge of Dayan's money and food. Uncle Hirano of Xue Customs is outside to respond, and there is also the eldest prince to support him. It has become a climate that there are a lot of new scholars inside. , the limelight is booming!
The prince also has a food chain. After all, there is only one dragon chair, and only one person can sit on it. If you don't plan to sit on it or think it is unlikely that you will sit on it, you must think about it in the future. Don't In the end, even the Xiaoyao clan could not survive.
Secondly, it is understandable that my wife will be a little grumpy at this time.
The fifth prince licked his lips and looked around. He was currently busy making a crib and cradle for his sixth brother's child.
But looking at the situation now, this crib may not be useful.
He didn't care much about the child's safety, but he cared about the fact that all the hard work he had put into the crib and cradle would probably be in vain.
After all, ordinary people are not worthy of the prince giving this to someone who deserves it. It would be unlucky for you to give this to someone who is worthy of giving it.
The fourth prince lowered his head and looked at the ground.
From his standpoint, he was somewhat pleased with this situation.
The eldest child actually has two children, but they were all born to savage female slaves, so there is no guarantee of pure blood. After all, when the eldest child was laid to bed in the snowy field, he was unable to take care of himself, so the two children could not even be named "Ji".
Now that Xiao Liuzi is in full swing, if he were to become the emperor's eldest grandson again, alas...
In fact, after the initial failure of the last Eastern Expedition and the death of the head of the Deng family, the fourth prince kept a much lower profile. But what can I say, as a prince, who doesn't want to sit in that position?
Even if he knows that he has no foreign aid and is no longer competitive, he still doesn't want that position to be nailed down early. At least, he can still have a dream to do it when he goes to bed at night.
But if you say you want to leave at this time, it is impossible for you to leave.
The Tian family is the most ruthless, but the Tian family needs to perform this sentiment more than any other family in the world.
Although the two princes have their own thoughts, they can only continue to be a muddy child here.
At this time, the eldest prince arrived.
The eldest prince has been leading troops outside to help the Ministry of Households clean up the local remnants. In fact, it is to help open up trade routes in various places. It is not just bandits that are being attacked. In fact, within the territory of Yan, not to mention Jin, purely within the territory of Yan If you don't pick up things on the road, you must have passed it, but there are really not many bandits.
During the most tense period of the foreign war in the past two years, even those who climbed the walls and had affairs would be caught by the government and sent to the front lines as prisoners. This bandit had no room to survive. He really had to use the banner of a "village" or a "gang". , the local officials have been sharpening their swords to catch young men from you.
What they are attacking are actually "official bandits", the remnants of some clans and some new forces that take advantage of the opportunity to control certain local industries or trade routes after the clans are eliminated.
After the eldest prince married a barbarian princess, his political situation was actually similar to that of the fifth prince of Chu State and his current betrothed prince, Xiong Tingshan.
When a person no longer has the need for political reputation, it is much easier to do things. Although many officials participated in the eldest prince's leadership of the army and went rampant outside, the Emperor Yan looked at the income submitted by the Ministry of Revenue. , and suppressed these sounds smoothly.
The eldest prince came with the barbarian princess, who was holding a box in her hand.
Ji Wujiang walked up to Ji Chengjue and asked innocently, "What's wrong?"
Instead, he said directly: "Your sister-in-law brought a snow lotus that she was given as a dowry."
Generally, when pregnant women give birth, in order to replenish their physical strength, ordinary families will prepare some brown sugar water, while wealthy families will prepare ginseng soup.
Ji Chengjue nodded but said nothing.
his home,
There is no shortage of this.
The eldest prince slowly took a few steps back and stood with his wife. Then, he glanced at the fourth and fifth sons standing there.
Seeing this, Lao Si and Lao Wu walked over together and whispered:
"Brother, sister-in-law."
"Brother, sister-in-law."
The barbarian princess was slightly blessed by the two princes. She had been in Yan for a long time and was familiar with the etiquette of Yan.
"His Royal Highness is here!"
The fourth child, the fifth child and the eldest prince were all a little surprised. What was the prince doing now?
The prince is here,
He looked much thinner.
After he came in, his eyes only glanced at the brothers. He didn't come over or get close to Ji Chengjue. He just stood silently on the outside.
Ji Chengjue didn't go to greet the prince either.
After a while, Li Yinglian, the prince's companion, came over, holding a box in his hand, which contained a fish-shaped jade.
This jade is a piece of protective jade prepared by the prince in the palace for the prince to be canonized. It can ward off disasters.
Because the palace prince had already retreated on Tianhu Mountain, this jade became an only copy.
Ji Chengjue looked at the jade, stretched out his hand to signal a palace maid to come over, took the jade into the delivery room, and placed it under the bed.
Subsequently,
Ji Chengjue turned around and bowed to the prince standing outside.
The prince did not return the greeting, but sat down on the steps of the inner door, with his hands hanging down and his head lowered.
at this time,
"His Majesty is here!"
The prince who just sat down did not move, as if he was asleep, still maintaining that posture.
And the boss, the fourth and the fifth all knelt down:
"My son sees my father!"
"My son sees my father!"
Emperor Yan walked in. He didn't seem to notice the prince sitting in the corner, or he seemed to notice but didn't even bother to take a second look. He walked straight to Ji Chengjue and waved at the same time, signaling them to get up.
Ji Chengjue did not kneel, he was still standing there, and at the same time, he waved his hand behind his back.
All of a sudden, the high priests and guards that the Sixth Prince had borrowed from various escort agencies that were inside and outside the courtyard were all withdrawn. Instead, the experts from the Secret Service brought by Wei Zhonghe re-defended the place.
Emperor Yan didn't care about the sixth prince's lack of etiquette and asked directly:
"Who did it?"
three words,
I asked directly,
With a kind of aura that belongs to the Nine-Five Masters!
Emperors are suspicious, and their first reaction when encountering something is always: Who is plotting against me?Who is up to no good?
That's what it means to be alone.
The most important thing is that Emperor Yan does not think that his son will not know how to take good care of his pregnant wife.
If someone hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity,
It can't really be just bad luck, right?
After asking these three words,
Emperor Yan glanced at Lao Si and Lao Wu who were standing beside them.
"..." The fourth prince.
"..." The fifth prince.
The two princes themselves lived together in the prince's mansion, so if they wanted to take action, it would undoubtedly be the most convenient.
But after seeing their father's gaze, the two princes almost knelt down and cried out.
Oh my god,
Father,
Do you know how many experts Sixth Brother has placed in this prince's mansion in the past six months?
On the surface, there are three fourth-grade masters alone!
Three, Father!
Do you know how frightened we two brothers are now living in the prince's mansion?
If the sixth brother suddenly gets nervous and wants to cheat on him, the two brothers who live with him will definitely be the first to be "clicked" and the second!
Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:
"My son's life is not good."
Ji Chengjue replied like this.
Except for being threatened by Uncle Qi and Li Liangshen, who were sent by the madman from the princess on the night of their wedding, after that, Ji Chengjue unceremoniously mobilized his power, and several major escort agencies had real masters in their hands. , and they are the kind of large-scale offerings that are priced at the bottom of the box. These offerings are not hired through money, but through debts of favor to get them to do things for you.
It can be said that it is better to use it once and less once.
But despite this, Ji Chengjue still borrowed them. There are three fourth-level masters!
There are also several other experts who are not of high rank but have rich skills and experience. They are also protecting this place in the shadows at all times, protecting their wives and their unborn children.
It can be said that unless the imperial guards in the capital are mobilized to attack the prince's residence, Ji Chengjue will not be afraid even if the princess wants to go crazy again.
In addition, Ji Chengjue was also extremely meticulous in terms of food and clothing.
Therefore, he can rule out the possibility of artificial attack.
can only say,
What happened this time,
It's God's will,
It was Ji Chengjue who had a bad fate and deserved this calamity!
This,
It is also the most depressing.
Because if the worst happens, you won’t even have a channel to vent your anger and unwillingness!
Sky,
At this time, it became gloomy again. It was clear and rainy, and the silky drizzle did not extinguish the anger lingering in the yard at this time, but made people feel more irritable.
Emperor Yan stood with his hands behind his back,
What he looks like now
It was exactly the same as when Ji Chengjue was standing here alone before.
As an emperor, he has many things to think about, but there is one obstacle that he cannot avoid, and that is inheritance.
He, Ji Runhao, had seven sons.
When choosing a successor, the choice space can undoubtedly be much wider.
Although there is a system of eldest son here, but now that the Yan family has been wiped out by him, how can a system of eldest son trap this emperor?
It’s just that he thinks about it or doesn’t want to.
Moreover, in addition to the choice of successor, there is another point, that is, if the population is thin and something unexpected happens, it will either cause chaos in the national government, or the inheritance of the Dragon Throne will be removed from one's own lineage. Transfer it to another channel.
It seems that they all have the surname Ji, but the brothers still have to settle accounts. The direct line is the direct line. The direct line can ensure the next generation, and the next generation, the direct line will be within oneself.
And once the collateral lineage gains power, your lineage will be completely cut off from the center of power. You will even suffer more severe suppression, and even the most basic inheritance may be cut off from you.
This is not alarmist. Emperor Taizong of the Qian Kingdom was the younger brother of Emperor Taizu. He succeeded to the throne as the emperor's younger brother. When he succeeded to the throne, he famously stated in the edict that the young son of Emperor Taizu would be crowned prince. Pass the throne back.
Then, Emperor Taizu's legitimate son and two concubines "died" of illness, and even his grandsons either died young or suffered from dementia. Finally, the inheritance of the throne of Qian Kingdom has always been in the lineage of Emperor Taizong.
As for the Emperor Taizu's lineage, now they can only rely on their adopted descendants to help fill in the facade and provide blood and food.
For Emperor Yan,
The children born to the eldest son's barbarian women are obviously different from the Yan people in appearance. Secondly, God knows whether their bloodline is really pure.
The emperor was ruthless, and he would not waste his scant feelings on a child who might not be his grandson.
Therefore,
In the eyes of Emperor Yan, and in the eyes of the current government and the public,
The child in He Sisi’s belly,
If it's a boy,
That is the emperor’s eldest grandson!
This is the first of his grandchildren, and Emperor Yan doesn't want any accidents to happen.
Along with Emperor Yan, there were also a group of imperial doctors.
But in fact, the famous doctors in the delivery room had already prepared it.
There is no shortage of the best doctors, the best midwives, the best medicinal materials, and even some tools for blessing.
Ji Chengjue had done everything he could think of in advance.
And then,
The highly respected Dr. Sun in the Imperial Hospital ran out of the delivery room.
Kneel down,
Road:
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Sixth, I deserve to die, I am guilty, but I will do my best to keep my little master safe!"
Among the people, it is not easy to get a wife. When encountering this kind of situation, they will ask to protect the elder and the younger.
But in Royal…
The bloodline of the imperial heir is extremely important.
If she was a concubine with a special status, she might ask, but in the eyes of Imperial Physician Sun, He Sisi, a woman from a butcher's family, was obviously not as important as an imperial heir.
The question of protecting the elder and the child is something that ordinary folk doctors or midwives would not ask unless they have to. It is to ensure that others come to trouble you in the future and tell you right and wrong. In the royal family, it is even more forbidden to ask, otherwise it will be a difficult problem. Throw it to His Majesty and His Highness Sixth Prince.
This is a warning, which means that according to the current situation, it is difficult to insure both adults and children, so I chose to insure the children.
Emperor Yan nodded slightly.
In the eyes of Emperor Yan, his eldest grandson is undoubtedly the most important, and there is almost no need to hesitate or think about it.
Dr. Sun kowtowed, stood up, and prepared to go back to the delivery room.
at this time,
Ji Chengjue, whose eyes were already red, suddenly said:
"I want my wife to live!"
Doctor Sun trembled and stopped.
On one side, the fourth and fifth boys standing there suddenly raised their heads and looked at their sixth child.
Even the prince, who was sitting on the threshold of the inner door and almost "hiding" himself, raised his head at this time.
This Ji Laoliu,
Are you crazy?
Emperor Yan's eyes suddenly fell on Ji Chengjue,
A wave of hands.
Imperial Physician Sun immediately bowed and responded to the order.
however,
Ji Chengjue suddenly shouted:
"If my daughter-in-law dies, you, you, you, all the people present at the hospital and those involved in the delivery, I will not let anyone go!"
As the son of Emperor Yan,
Ji Chengjue knew clearly,
He is not qualified to change his father's will.
All he can do is threaten these people who are doing their job.
He's crazy,
He knew he was crazy,
He naturally knows best what it means that the emperor's eldest grandson is his son. It means that his son will most likely be valued by his father, and will even be taken around to be cultivated by his father.
Emperor Yan was no longer interested in these older children, so he was more patient with Xiao Qi, because Xiao Qi was still young and Emperor Yan could still get some "fatherly love" from him.
As the saying goes, kissing another generation, will his first grandson feel different?
Will you show more grandfatherly kindness when you treat him?
Will he value his son more because of his grandson?
An emperor's eldest grandson can play an extremely helpful role in seizing the legitimate son.
Ji Chengjue knew all this.
even,
Before today, he had planned many scenes in his mind of how his son would tease his father and compete for his favor.
In fact, not only is the mother more valuable than the son, but the father is also worthy!
even,
Even before today,
If someone comes to ask Ji Chengjue this question, if this happens, should he be kept older or younger?
Ji Chengjue thought that he would probably drink a glass of wine, his eyes turned red, and he said, "Keep me safe."
then,
Then, through his drunkenness, he showed pain and said to his late wife: He will take good care of our children and give her the best.
Use this to offset your inner guilt.
Among the seven princes of Emperor Yan,
The one who loves my father the most is actually Ji Laoliu!
He can bear to lie dormant for so many years, he can go to his mother's grave and fake cry, he can endure what ordinary people cannot endure, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.
He has all the qualifications of a hero, both in temperament and ability.
He feels like this, and he feels like he should be like this.
He can have 1 reasons to comfort himself,
Do not,
Even if you endure a little torture of conscience, what does it mean?
but,
but,
but,
But that's what happened,
After He Sisi entered the delivery room,
Ji Chengjue,
I have been standing here outside the delivery room for more than half a day.
He clearly heard the screams coming from his wife in the delivery room, the heart-wrenching screams.
He was very distressed, very very distressed.
This butcher girl from Nan'an County put a hairpin on her neck because of her words that night and forced her to enter her house even though her father and brother stopped her.
Without the orders of her parents or the advice of a matchmaker, she gave her clean body to herself.
Later, she joked that she was just coveting his male lust and didn't think much about it.
Standing outside the delivery room, under the screams from his wife, for some reason, Ji Chengjue felt more and more disgusted with his unborn child.
Yes, abominations.
It was him who made his wife endure such tremendous pain.
Ji Chengjue's mind is very confused now. He can no longer think carefully. He can only rely on his own instinct to do things.
He doesn't want to lose this woman, he doesn't want to lose her. If the child is gone, he can have it again in the future. If she is gone, it is gone.
Ji Chengjue showed the greatest cold-bloodedness towards the child he had never met.
Since you haven't opened your eyes to see this world, just pretend that you... don't exist.
Everyone present was shocked by Ji Laoliu's sudden madness.
include,
Emperor Yan.
"Ji Chengjue, you..."
Emperor Yan hasn't finished speaking yet.
Old Hetou on the side suddenly shouted: "My daughter, you must protect my daughter, my daughter!!!!!!!!!"
"My sister, nothing can happen to my sister, protect my sister!!!!!!"
The He family's father and son did not understand the meaning of the words when Imperial Physician Sun came out. They thought it was just the Imperial Physician who came out to make a routine announcement.
It wasn't until they heard Ji Chengjue's roar that the He family and his father understood what they were trying to do!
At this moment,
The most low-key emperor's relatives broke out, and the two of them started shouting. If the guards next to them hadn't stopped him, they would have rushed directly in front of Emperor Yan. Even so, they kept pushing and pushing to stop him. Looking at his guards, especially He Chu, as a pig butcher, although he didn't know martial arts, he had a lot of strength, and the two guards could barely suppress him.
Emperor Yan ignored the He family and his father.
He just stared at his son with an extremely calm look,
In this look, there is also an emotion called disappointment.
Because he felt that it would be an unforgivable mistake for his son to lose the kindness of a woman at this time.
Ji Chengjue obviously understood the meaning in his father's eyes, but he did not retreat, but looked at his father's eyes.
"I want my grandson."
He is the emperor,
He talks about Tian Xian,
under his will,
Tian Wujing had to go to the snowfield to drive away the barbarians, and Li Liangting had to return to Beifeng County to continue guarding the barbarians.
If he says to fight, he must fight. If he says to make peace, only the officials of Qian State and the regent of Chu State can make peace.
now,
at the moment,
right now,
he,
I just want my eldest grandson!
Ji Chengjue's chest heaved. For the first time, he showed his ferocious face to his father.
He hated this face, his father's face.
Simultaneously,
Somehow, deep in my heart, I suddenly remembered the time when I secretly bribed the eunuch and ran into the cold palace where my mother and concubine were, and the moment I opened the door,
What he saw was,
The figure of the mother-in-law hanging on the beam.
now,
Here he comes again,
He showed up at his home,
He once decided the fate of his mother and concubine without asking himself.
now,
He still decided on his wife's fate without asking himself.
Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand,
Pointing to the delivery room,
Staring at his father, staring at this ninth-five-year-old king of Great Yan,
Word by word:
"I want my wife!"
No one could have predicted it,
currently,
A confrontation between monarch and minister, between father and son,
Unexpectedly, in this clear drizzle, in such an extremely sudden way... it unfolded.
And at this time,
"Wow! Wow! Wow!!!!!!"
A clear baby cry,
It broke the almost stagnant atmosphere in the hospital at this time.
A female medical officer with blood on her clothes ran out.
Kneel down on the ground,
Crying and laughing at the same time, he shouted:
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the birth of your grandson. Congratulations to Your Highness the Sixth Prince. Mother and son are safe!"
At this time, the He family heirs breathed a sigh of relief and no longer struggled with the guards around them. They couldn't help but murmured: "God bless, God bless."
At this time,
Wei Zhonghe knelt down directly.
"My servant congratulates Your Majesty on the birth of your grandson. God bless our Emperor, May the Great Yan live forever!"
All around, all the escorting maids and eunuchs knelt down and shouted in unison:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your grandson!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your grandson!"
The fourth prince, fifth prince, eldest prince, eldest prince's concubine, and the prince sitting in the corner also knelt down at this time:
"My dear father, I congratulate you on your grandson!"
"My dear father, I congratulate you on your grandson!"
Emperor Yan was unmoved.
Continue to stare at your sixth son.
Ji Chengjue, after the female officer said, "Mother and child are safe,"
It was as if all the strength had been drained from the whole person.
He sat down directly on the floor tiles that had been wetted by raindrops.
He raised his head,
open mouth,
His eyes were a little dazed,
He was panting heavily, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying.
Throughout the prince's residence,
Everyone knelt on the ground,
Only Emperor Yan stood there alone,
And this clear rain,
Always down.
