Datang Fenghua Road

At this moment, I suddenly heard the footsteps at the door of the courtyard. The footsteps were a bit heavy, and the landing was sonorous. Obviously, the pace of the people was very steady.

Yuan Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly bent down to help Li Chengqian, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, get up quickly, General Hou is here..."

The person who came was Hou Junji, and behind him was a girl who looked a little annoyed. It was Hou Junji's only daughter, Hou Haitang, who was also the prince concubine with Li Chengqian.

She used to be a crown princess, but now she can only be a princess, and her status has dropped to the next level, but Hou Haitang did not resent this. What she was really annoyed about was that the side concubine robbed her and gave birth to a child.

"What are you doing sitting on the ground?" Hou Junji walked all the way to the courtyard, his eyes swept away from Yuan Ye, and then he looked at Li Chengqian and asked.

"Oh, I...I..." Li Chengqian let out a cowardly sound, suddenly finding an excuse, and whispered: "This king suddenly heard that he had a son, and fell to the ground with joy, fell to the ground..."

"So it is!" Hou Junji didn't look into it, turned his eyes to the delivery room, and said lightly, "Is it a man or a woman?"

Li Chengqian still lowered his head, a little afraid to look at Hou Junji and said, "Boy, it's a little prince!"

Hou Junji raised his brows and said lightly, "Can Your Majesty and Empress be notified?"

"I'm here, but unfortunately I'm gone again!" Li Chengqian sighed in frustration.

Hou Junji was suddenly a little surprised, and said in surprise, "Your Majesty and the Empress are gone? Why is this?"

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Damn it, it's Han Yue's fault, his wife will not give birth sooner or later, but she has to give birth tonight, the father and mother have already come to my side, when they heard that Tian Doudou was about to give birth, Abandoning this king, he left in a hurry."

With a look of anger, he suddenly roared: "I want to rob everything, I want to snatch everything, he robbed this king of the position of the eldest son, and now he has to take the position of the eldest grandson, this king hates it, it should have been in the first place. Before the mother took the shot, he directly stabbed Tian Doudou and others. If he killed him in one shot, there was no need for her to rob the holy family now. The concubine of the king gave birth, and she also gave birth. It was obviously because of medication that he wanted to rob him on purpose. The position of the eldest grandson."

Hou Junji raised his eyebrows again, and said lightly, "Your concubine is less than ten months pregnant, and it seems that she is also suspected of premature birth."

Li Chengqian was stunned, but Yuan Ye's heart was beating wildly next to him. He lowered his head carefully, for fear of being stared at by Hou Junji for questioning.

Fortunately, Hou Junji didn't think too much about it. After all, premature babies are not surprising.The Great Tang Minister of War walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and suddenly said: "Concubine Zhao Wangzheng of the West Palace has just given birth, but your side concubine has already given birth to children. Although they are all born tonight, there is a precedence after all!"

Li Chengqian was stunned, then reacted immediately, and said with ecstasy: "The general is saying..." This guy's voice was a little trembling.

Born a moment earlier, he is the eldest grandson. Born a moment later, he can only be the second child. Li Chengqian suddenly felt that things were turning around. After all, his side concubine had already given birth, and Tian Dodou had just had abdominal pain.

Hou Haitang was a little displeased next to her, she pulled at the corner of Hou Jun's clothes and whispered, "Father!"

Hou Junji snorted softly and said indifferently, "You can't do anything if you're unhappy. Regarding childbirth and inheritance, this old man can't criticize the concubine's children in one go, right?"

"But the concubine side is also the direct son..." Hou Haitang blurted out, her tone clearly a little annoyed.

Hou Junji glanced at his daughter and said warmly, "You are the wife, so what if the child is the eldest son? If you want to inherit the ancestral business, you must obediently bow down to your knees and call your mother."

"Yes, yes, this king will make him worship under Haitang's knees!" Li Chengqian nodded again and again, and assured him loudly, "The side concubine can only be regarded as the concubine, and Haitang is the real mother!"

It's not that he is cruel, but the ancient custom is true. If a son born to a flat wife wants to inherit the long house, he must worship his wife as a son, call his wife a mother, but only call his own mother a mother.

Hou Haitang was still a little reluctant, and pulled Hou Jun to gather the corners of his clothes and said, "It's not her daughter's baby after all, and she may not be filial when she grows up in the future."

"It's the most important thing, good girl don't make trouble again!" Hou Junji sighed softly, turned to Li Chengqian and said, "Now my Hou family and Wang Ye are tied together, although Haitang hasn't come through the door yet, but she was appointed by His Majesty himself. My wife, the lord needs to give me a guarantee that this son-in-law must be the son of Haitang, so I will have no worries, I will go out and fight for you."

Li Chengqian hurriedly raised his hand to the sky and swore loudly, "Don't worry, General, it's really impossible for this king to cut off the side concubine."

Hou Junji's eyes turned cold, and he seemed to be very moved by this matter, but he immediately shook his head and said lightly, "Murdering is not a good strategy. The side concubine has just given birth, so your Majesty and the empress must also be concerned about it. You can't do it now."

Li Chengqian thought for a while, nodded and said, "The general is right!" He suddenly turned to the delivery room and shouted, "Bring the little prince out to this king..."

The doorman squeaked, and a maid walked over with a small swaddle. Li Chengqian smiled and said, "I will give the child to Haitang now, and he will be born by Haitang in the future, and it has nothing to do with the side concubine."

Hou Junji nodded in approval, and the maid carefully handed the swaddle to Hou Haitang, and said in a low voice, "This servant has seen the princess, and the little prince has just received milk, and is now sleeping soundly."

Hou Haitang was a little helpless, she reached out to take the swaddle and shook it, suddenly chuckled, "This child is quite heavy, I'm afraid it weighs about ten pounds."

Yuan Ye's heart was agitated, and the maid's pupils also shrank quietly.Fortunately, Hou Haitang was just remarking unintentionally, and Hou Junji and Li Chengqian were also thinking about it, and they didn't think about anything else.

Hou Junji saw that his daughter accepted the son of the side concubine, so he walked a few steps back and forth in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and pondered: "For today's plan, the key is to grab a word. The lord is now sending out letters widely, so that all the courtiers in Chang'an will be filled. Important ministers, as well as noble families and nobles, in short, let everyone know that the little prince has been born..."

He looked up at the sky and said solemnly: "Remember, it must be stated in the letter that the little prince was born in Xu, and he was born earlier than the son of King Zhao of the West Palace."

Li Chengqian nodded again and again and said loudly, "This king will write a letter immediately and let the servants in the house rush to deliver it."

Hou Junji let out a "hmm", and then said: "Nowadays there is no curfew in the city, and the people are still walking on the street, the prince should open the gate of the mansion, and order the people to go to the street to give out rewards, don't be afraid to spend money, make more noise The bigger the better, let the people in the city know that the emperor's fourth-generation eldest grandson was born in your house."

Li Chengqian nodded again and said loudly: "This king is generous with money, I will arrange it right away."

Hou Junji added: "Besides that, from tomorrow onwards, we will set up a porridge stall outside the city center, and serve porridge for one month continuously. When the moon is full, the royal family, ministers, aristocratic families, and old soldiers in the army will be honored as the little prince. Celebrating the full moon..."

Li Chengqian is not an idiot, he nodded and said with joy, "This king has written it down!"

Hou Junji nodded, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said: "Your Highness, hurry up, let's split up, this general will go to the West Palace now, since His Majesty and the Empress are gone, presumably the family members of the state officials will also go, Ben The general is going to join in the fun!"

He stretched out his hand to hold Hou Haitang, and asked his daughter to follow with the child.

Chapter 418: The honorable and noble country, come together

Half a year ago, two new mansions were built in Chang'an, one was Li Chengqian's Wall-faced Palace, and the other was Han Yue's West Palace. This palace was also called Tiance Mansion.

Since the Tiance Mansion was under the jurisdiction of the military camp, it was impossible for 26 troops to be stationed in the city. In addition, the Tiance Mansion had to manage things such as building a town in the Tang Dynasty, so when the mansion was first built, Han Yue asked Li Shimin to give him land outside the city.

This mansion was built in Tianjiazhuang on the outskirts of Chang'an, with the official road on the left and the Wei River on the right. There is a river in front of the village and mountains behind the village.

It is already two quarters of the night, and it will be eight o'clock in the evening when the ancient city gate is closed. When Li Shimin's frame arrives at the west gate, the city gate has already been tightly seamed.

"Who is it, stop quickly!" A group of soldiers defending the city stood on both sides of the city gate, and they shouted violently when they drew their swords.

One hundred riders immediately scolded: "Bastard, you dare to stop the emperor's frame, quickly open the city gate, His Majesty is going to Tiance Mansion!"

"It's Your Majesty?" The soldiers guarding the city were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses. A group of people moved out of the way in a panic, and another ten wrestlers joined forces to push open the city gate, and the other ten wrestlers joined hands to turn the winch. The suspension bridge is also slowly lowered.

"Hurry up, Your Majesty, tell them to hurry up..." The eldest grandson was very anxious in the frame, staring at the suspension bridge with a pair of phoenix eyes, and said eagerly: "Doudou is about to give birth, and it seems that the day is not here yet. If you want to give birth prematurely, the concubine must guard it!"

Li Shimin is also a little anxious. In ancient times, giving birth to a child was like passing through the gates of hell, especially in the case of premature birth, often both mother and child died.Although he was anxious at that time, he couldn't show it in front of his eldest grandson. Instead, he continued to comfort him: "Guan Yin maid, don't be anxious, the Tiance Mansion is on Tianjiazhuang, and as long as you leave the city with a quick horse and whip, you can reach it without a cup of tea."

"How can the concubine not be in a hurry, how can the concubine not be in a hurry!" Empress Zhangsun raised the curtain of the car with her hand and murmured, "It is my grandson who is about to be born, how can the grandmother not be by my side. Your Majesty blames you, In Chang'an City, there are many places to build houses, but you built the Tiance Mansion outside the city..."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and explained: "This is your eldest son's request. His Tiance Mansion has a military camp, how can more than 20 troops be stationed in the city? This is against the rules!"

"Yue'er won't rebel, so what about the garrison city?" The eldest grandson sneered back and became anxious. He couldn't help reaching out to pinch Li Shimin's arm, and said reluctantly: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, my eldest grandson is going to be born. now..."

Li Shimin had no choice but to dodge, unable to communicate with this crazy bitch. The emperor was in a hurry and couldn't help shouting angrily outside the car: "Wait for the New Year? When will the suspension bridge be put down?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the city gate has been opened, and the bridge has been put down. Wait for me to go out of the city to explore three hundred paces. If there is no threat around, the frame will be ready to leave the city..."

"Explore your ass!" Li Shimin shouted violently, and said, "If there are assassins around Chang'an, then the emperor has done it in vain. Quickly lined up, and the frame will leave the city immediately."

"Chen wait, obey!" The hundred cavalry warriors got on their horses and ran out of the city gate in the lead. The emperor's carriage immediately started and rumbled across the suspension bridge.

The brigade guarded the frame and rushed into the night, and the soldiers guarding the city behind guarded the city with knives. The soldier leader groaned and suddenly said, "I'm going to report to General Zuo Wuwei, and ask him to quickly dispatch the army to guard this gate tonight. It can't be closed, otherwise, His Majesty will open the door again when he returns."
