Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

His attention, Li Xiu, has been completely focused on the military reforms in the northern provinces.

Whether the initial investigation was completed or it was still in progress, he paid great attention to it.

As for the grassland situation in Monan, to some extent, he is really beyond his reach.

In the study, looking at this map of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiu sighed helplessly.

Originally, according to the previous plan, after the military reform is completely completed, the first thing to do is to use up all the troops to completely solve the crisis of building slaves and Liaozhen in the Ming Dynasty for decades.

After the first battle has been done, and then with the power of a great victory, reforms will be launched again internally.

But things didn't go as planned, and now, it's obviously impossible to follow the original plan.

Now, and for a long time to come, he may not be able to take care of foreign aggression.

If Lin Dan Khan unifies Mongolia, or if Lin Dan Khan and Hou Jin carve up Monan and join forces, then what he needs to face, what this nation needs to face, is a grassland nation at its peak.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuzhi's expression couldn't help becoming a little dignified.

If you are not careful, the world will turn against you, and the situation of internal and external troubles may happen again!

"Jizhen... Xuanfu... Datong... Yansui... Gansu..."

Looking around the entire Daming Bian Town slowly, Li Xiuzhi's expression also slowly eased. Bian Town is the place where the military reform was first completed, and coupled with his long-term attention to the layout, even if the scene of the Mongolian knocking on the Bian Town reappears, it will not be too late. It will never happen again that the original military strength was empty and the hands were tied.

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu obviously didn't realize that although he hadn't really taken that step, but now, everything he planned and arranged seemed to be preparing for that day.

Civil strife is doomed, but since ancient times, people have only heard of people rebelling successfully, but never heard of merchants rebelling successfully, and literati rebelling successfully.

Even if the land in the south of the Yangtze River is separated, it is not to be feared, as long as the north is not chaotic.

But foreign aggression is the top priority.

History has already deviated from the predetermined track.

Under various chances and coincidences, Lin Dan Khan, who was supposed to be in decline, is about to become a real confidant, and the legend that the Jurchen is dissatisfied and invincible, although it has been broken, but the truth is still there. As the foundation, the same is still a serious problem.

This is only near China, and outside of China, the turbulent era has already begun.

To be precise, the foreign aggression of this era seems to have reached a historical peak.

Li Xiu himself, his illusory fantasies have been crushed by the ruthless reality, and he is also destined to bear an eternal infamy.

However, he can't let himself bear the eternal infamy, and let this nation follow him and bear the eternal shame.

This is an insurmountable bottom line.

"call……"

Li Xiu let out a long breath, his eyes became firmer.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!

Now that it is irretrievable, he has to prove that he, Li Xiu, is qualified to bear the weight of the crown. He is ashamed of Daming, but he will never be ashamed of this nation, absolutely not!

Chapter 358 The bloodline is born!

The eighth day of June in the second year of Jingwu.

This June, the capital was still calm. Even Qian Qianyi, who had been jumping non-stop, and the rest of Donglin seemed to have recovered from the excitement of returning to the center, and slowly adapted to the situation in the capital. Also calmed down.

As for Duke Qin's mansion, since the middle of May, it has been ready for battle. The most famous Wen Po in the capital, nurses who have already been arranged, and even children's clothes and all kinds of celebration needs have already been fully prepared.

Everything is waiting for the birth of Duke Qin's bloodline, which has placed too many people's hopes on it.

This June, Li Xiu never left the mansion even half a step. In the past, he was all focused on military affairs and martial arts, and he finally separated part of his attention to this little life that was about to be born.

And in the early morning of the eighth day of the eighth day, the fetus in the womb, which many people had placed high hopes on, finally arrived.

Twilight is still there, and dawn has not yet dawned. The tranquility that should have been in this Duke Qin's mansion has disappeared, and the noise and mess are also filled in every corner of the mansion.

In the backyard, in each of the small courtyards, the concubines who were still sleeping woke up. After learning about the situation, each and every one of them couldn't hide their jealousy, and many of them secretly prayed in their hearts, praying for their mother's The result of Zigui must not appear.

In Zizhuxuan,

Li Xiu has already rushed to the Qingzhu Garden, the door of the room has been closed tightly, several well-known women in the capital have already entered the room, the shrill shouts in the room and the urgent voice of the woman can be heard clearly, lingering in the night sky , also touched Li Xiu's heart,

"Master, don't worry, those stable women are all well-known in the capital, and they have never lost their hands..."

Wang Wu was sweating profusely, his expression could not hide his anxiety, but he still advised Li Xiu beside him.

"Okay, you go about your business!"

At this moment, Li Xiu couldn't hide his anxiety,

Who can get rid of the concept of blood descendants, even if the martial arts are at the peak, even if the heart is like a mirror, at this moment, it is unavoidable to be confused.

Seeing Li Xiu's anxious expression, Wang Wu immediately shut his mouth obediently and stepped aside.

Under Li Xiu's anxious expression, under the already tense atmosphere in the courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a little more depressed.

All the people present couldn't help but silently prayed for a smooth delivery, otherwise, no one would know about this night, but for those present, it would be very difficult to keep their lives alive!

"How about it, is my nephew born yet?"

"Brother Xiu, where is my nephew!"

During this depression, Erwazi rushed in.

However, after seeing the closed door and the tense appearance in the courtyard, Erwazi's yelling stopped abruptly.

"Didn't I let you look at the grassland, what are you doing here at this time!"

Li Xiu's face darkened, and he scolded.

"I...I have a military report!"

Erwazi was a little lacking in confidence, but he was rushing to the capital in order to meet his little nephew as soon as possible!

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

Li Xiu's nameless fire gushed out in his heart, and he said in a cold voice.

Seeing Li Xiu's appearance, Erwazi didn't dare to say anything, smiled embarrassingly, and then winked at Wang Wu. Wang Wu cautiously raised his head and glanced at Li Xiu, then walked quickly to Erwazi's side, respectfully She arched her hands: "Second Lord."

"Aren't you ready, old boy? Why did it take so long?"

Erwazi suppressed his voice, and questioned his head and face.

"Second master is wronged, how dare this slave, I have already prepared everything, and this slave doesn't know what's going on!"

"If something goes wrong, I will kill you first!"

Erwazi gave Wang Wu a hard look.

"Second Master..."

Wang Wu's expression immediately turned bitter, and he was about to cry. He was not afraid of others saying this. After all, he was also the housekeeper of Qin Gongfu, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, who would dare to provoke him.

But when the second master said this, he really couldn't believe it, he was annoyed, and if he was really chopped off, he probably would be chopped off too, nothing wrong!

"What are you shouting about, come here!"

At this moment, Li Xiu yelled again, immediately letting Wang Wuda heave a sigh of relief, Erwazi, who was still vicious at first, immediately changed his appearance, and ran to Li Xiu's side in a hurry.

However, when Li Xiu uttered these words, Erwazi's smiling face froze instantly.

"Didn't you say that there is a military report, tell me!"

"Uh...uh... By the way, Brother Xiu, Houjin Liao Town has already prepared for war in Liaodong. I think that if Houjin and Lin Dan Khan reach a tacit agreement, instead of supporting Monan Mongolia, they will join forces with Lin Dan Khan If you carve up Monan..."

Hearing this, Li Xiu's restless mood couldn't help becoming more impetuous. After a long silence, Li Xiu suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said slowly:

"Others, we can't control it now. We just need to keep an eye on Monan Mongolia. If Houjin supports Monan Mongolia, let them beat each other to death. But if Lin Danhan and Houjin unite, we can only do our best Yes, let Monan Mongolia last a little longer."

"If it's really impossible, when the time comes, let the remnants of Monan Mongolia withdraw to the foot of the Great Wall..."

Between the words, Li Xiu also didn't mention the military intervention in half a sentence. Er Wazi naturally knew the reason why.

The current situation in the capital is about to erupt at any time, and once it erupts, for a long time, all their energy will probably be involved in endless internal troubles, where there is no energy to pay attention to matters outside the border.

"It's born! It's born!"

"It's born, it's the young master, it's the young master!"

At this moment, the ecstatic voice of Mrs. Wen in the room suddenly sounded, interrupting their thoughts in an instant.

"it is good!"

Er Wazi applauded.

"Congratulations sir!"

At this moment, the depression in the courtyard suddenly broke, and all the servants knelt down and shouted in relief.

Li Xiu stood there in a daze, and it took a while before he realized, the worries on his brows disappeared, and a smile appeared: "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"Wang Wu, prepare to reward silver, everyone, there will be rewards!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiu took a step forward and walked directly into the room. He couldn't wait any longer!

"Master, you can't enter, the delivery room is filthy..."

Wang Wu trotted forward immediately, admonishing him.

"Okay, don't talk about customs and conventions with me, the governor is still afraid of these?"

As soon as Li Xiu pushed Wang Wu away, he opened the door without hesitation and walked into the room.

Li Yue'er was lying on the bed with a pale face, showing weakness, and in the arms of a steady woman next to him, the baby was crying loudly.

Seeing Li Xiu walk in, several people turned pale with shock, several Wen women fell to their knees immediately, and Li Yue'er also struggled to get up.

"Okay, big day, don't do such nonsense."

Li Xiu comforted Li Yue'er a few words, and couldn't wait to take the baby in his arms.

Looking at the crying baby in his arms, the smile on Li Xiu's face was already uncontrollable. It was the first time for him to experience this feeling of blood connection in two lifetimes.

An indescribable sense of responsibility also seemed to come suddenly.

At this moment, the most hidden ray of persistence hidden deep in the bottom of my heart seemed to be suddenly shattered with the appearance of this blood-linked baby.

"Brother Xiu, don't just look at it for yourself, take it out and let me see my little nephew!"

Just when Li Xiu was in a daze, Erwazi's anxiously shouting voice outside the door made him laugh, but then, he looked at Po Wen with some uncertainty: "It's okay to take it out for a while now, right?"

"Return to what the adults said, just for a while, it's okay, just be careful not to stay too long, lest the young master catch a cold."

After getting this answer, Li Xiu carefully hugged the baby in his arms and walked out of the room. At this time, Erwazi, who couldn't wait for a long time, also came over immediately.

"It is said that the uglier you are born, the more beautiful you will be when you grow up. My little nephew is so ugly, he will definitely be a handsome man by then..."

Li Xiu also twitched his cheeks, no matter how you listen to this, why is it wrong!

Erwazi seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, he smiled naively, and then couldn't help but tease the child in Li Xiu's arms.

"By the way, Brother Xiu, I heard that there is a wife in the mansion who is also pregnant?"

After teasing for a while, Erwazi asked casually.

"Yes, three of them are already pregnant!"

Li Xiu even showed a big smile, with a hearty smile. Since Li Yueer became pregnant, the backyard of the mansion seemed to have broken the curse. There were concubines who were pregnant one after another. effect.

Of course, those, after the boy with the handle in his arms appeared, were undoubtedly side effects.

"Then when a girl is born, you have to settle with my son!"

"My little sister is a good match for our little nephew. Brother Xiu, do you want to think about it?"

"roll!"

……

359 The Eve of the Storm

"The man set the arc on the left of the door, don't you know which side is on the left?"

"Yes, this is right, yes, yes, that's it!"

Wang Wu stood under the door of the side room, and in front of the door, a servant stood on a ladder, holding a beautifully shaped hard bow, and hung it on the eaves of the side room door.

In the room, Xiao Guogong, who was wearing an exquisite brocade robe, was sleeping soundly on the bed, and beside him was an exquisite white jade medallion.

At some point, Li Xiu had already appeared outside the door, watching the scene where Wang Wu was commanding.

This seemingly unintentional action naturally belongs to the etiquette and customs of this era.
