The baby-making system is unreliable

Chapter 174: The Blind and Idiot Imperial Teacher vs. the Calm and Generous Empress (26)

Liang Kongming took another sip of the liquor. This liquor was originally used to treat wounds, but he was asked to use it to refresh himself. This was really ridiculous. If others saw it, they would definitely say that he did not take care of his body.

He was originally in a fuzzy state of consciousness, but now he endured the waves of severe pain in his body, supported himself on the table with his hands, and stood up shakily.

The man came a little closer, and the two men looked at each other. Their eyes revealed a firmness that would not back down and a hint of provocation, as if a fierce confrontation was about to break out between them.

Today, Liang Kongming encountered a group of well-trained assassins near Zuichunlou. The opponents were ruthless and their moves were deadly.

Fortunately, Liang Kongming was smart enough and had some skills, so he managed to escape after a fight.

However, in this thrilling battle, he inevitably had wounds of varying depths on his body. In order to treat the wounds and temporarily avoid the limelight, he chose to come here.

He knew who the owner behind Zuichunlou was, but unfortunately he met the Prince of Nanyue here.

"This young man is well-dressed, he must be either rich or noble, ahem… I just don't know why he came here!" Liang Kongming smiled, thinking that he had not offended him, but what exactly did he want to do? !

Thinking of this, Liang Kongming frowned slightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of doubt and vigilance. This young man is from the royal family of Nanyue. Logically, he should be in the palace and enjoy wealth and glory.

However, now, he has stayed in Yongchang for a long time, which is really puzzling. Is there some unknown secret or conspiracy hidden in it? The more Liang Kongming thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was strange, and he couldn't help but increase his vigilance.

"What are you doing here? That's what I'm doing here?! But the injuries on your body, huh..." Zhu Weiyan's eyes were sharp, and he took in the other person's condition with just a quick glance, especially the glaring injury on his right shoulder, which could not escape his eyes.

The corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful sneer, and then his body flashed and he attacked as quickly as lightning.

In an instant, Zhu Weiyan grabbed the man's arm with one hand like an iron clamp, and with the other hand, he attacked him with a fierce gust of wind, saying sarcastically, "This is the first time I see someone who is injured and still visits a brothel. If you are so interested, why don't you come to my place and stay?"

Facing this sudden attack, Liang Kongming's heart sank. At this moment, he did not hold any weapons in his hands, and he knew that he was no match for Zhu Weiyan, but the situation was urgent and he could not think too much, so he had to raise his hand in a hurry to try to block the attack.

However, his resistance seemed so weak, the wound on his arm just split open, and the dark red blood stained his clothes. Zhu Weiyan easily subdued him with his other hand.

At this moment, Chun Juan, who was standing by, saw that the situation was critical, and jumped up without hesitation, using both palms and all her internal strength to slap Zhu Weiyan's back hard.

Unfortunately, although her movements were quick, Zhu Weiyan's reaction was beyond ordinary people. Before Chunjuan's palm touched the corner of his clothes, Zhu Weiyan had already sensed the danger behind him.

It happened in a flash. Just when everyone was in a stalemate, suddenly there was a loud "bang" and the tightly closed window was forcibly split open, with wood chips flying everywhere.

Along with the loud noise, several dark shadows came in from the window like ghosts, each of them holding a long knife that was shining with cold light in their hands, and without saying a word, they went straight to slash at Chunjuan.

Chunjuan's face changed drastically upon seeing this. She had no time to fight back in such a hurry, and could only rely on her agility to barely avoid these deadly swords and sabers.

For a moment, the room was filled with flashing knives and intersecting figures. The atmosphere was extremely tense. Chunjuan was no match for this group of people.

"My beauty, I won't kill you. After all, you have served me for a long time. As for him, I will take him away and invite him to be my guest. I will not hurt him."

Zhu Weiyan put one hand on Liang Kongming's arm to control him in his hand. The blade was hanging on his waist but he had no intention of taking it down. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Chunjuan as he spoke, as if he had some sympathy for her.

These people were his secret guards, who had been hiding in the dark. In fact, he had no intention of killing anyone for such a long time.

Liang Kongming tensed up, unable to move his arms. He sneered and said, "How ridiculous! The prince of Nanyue has tied me up here. Does he want the two countries to go to war?! The two countries have only been at peace for a few years, are they so impatient?!"

"Hahaha... Who is the prince of Nanyue?! What evidence do you have to prove that he kidnapped you?! It's just that my sister has a crush on you, so she invited you to be her guest."

Little sister?! Where did the little sister come from? It was obviously him who sent someone to assassinate her, but why did Zhu Weiyanshen want to kill him?! They had never had any conflicts, let alone any social interactions.

Liang Kongming was tense and gritted his teeth, not daring to move. This man's behavior this time was clearly that of a scoundrel. It seemed that even if he killed someone today, he could pretend that he had nothing to do with it later.

At this time, instead of angering him and being killed by him, it is better to try to delay time and find out what he is going to do.

"Since we are here as a guest, I will just go with you. Why bother with weapons? Your Highness has been a guest in Yongchang for quite some time. Haven't you heard that I am just a doctor who doesn't know martial arts?"

What this means is that there is no need to use knives or guns to deal with a doctor, as his fragile body cannot withstand any conflict.

"Yes, a doctor, um... you reminded me." Zhu Weiyan Arsen chuckled when he heard this, lowered his eyes and said to a servant beside him: "Come, take away all the medicine on him."

The man worked together, and in just a few moments, he had collected all the bottles and jars on Liang Kongming's body.

"Don't worry, as long as you behave, I won't kill you." Zhu Weiyan Arsen said to Liang Kongming arrogantly, looking down at Chunjuan, and said with unusual confidence: "My little beauty, I have a favor to ask of you. Tell the Imperial Master that Yan Arsen has something to ask of him and is willing to work with him on a big matter."

"..." Chunjuan felt mixed emotions and went to the Wen family's residence overnight with Zhu Weiyan's message.

He actually wants to make an appointment with the master?! The point is that she thought she had never exposed her identity, but this little prince could accurately guess the master behind her.

It seems that they have been seen through these days. This Prince of Nanyue is indeed not a simple person.

……

In July of that year, the summer plum rains continued as continuously as in the past, but the Bixi River and even its lower reaches were not as they used to be.

During the plum rain season in previous years, floods were most likely to occur along the Bixi River, especially in the downstream areas. However, although the water level has risen this year, there have been few complete breaches of the dam.

This is all thanks to the empress. Over the past two or three months, she has strictly investigated the government affairs of all officials, and took the lead in deploying defenses and taking precautions.

"Your Majesty, this year, dikes were built in advance in Qingzhou, Yinzhou and other places downstream to prevent accidents, and there have been few dike breaches." Yan Zhen, the Minister of Works, was speaking about the recent situation in the court, and his words were full of excitement. There have been few dike breaches downstream, and the people's houses have been spared from damage.

Although the situation in a few places is not optimistic, it is still under control and has not caused large-scale floods. He has been an official in the Ministry of Industry for more than five or six years, and this year is already the best situation.

"..." The people below were talking incessantly, but Yun Xirou had no intention of listening. Many ministers had already discussed the measures to prevent flood disasters.

The Liang family, the Wen family and even many officials who had lived downstream were all concerned about flood prevention. The flood prevention strategy had been prepared early on and had been deduced and pondered over and over again.

Yun Xirou naturally didn't have to worry anymore. At the moment, she was sitting on the throne, but she was worried about another matter, which was the visit of the two royal families of Nanyue to Yongchang.

The mist was hazy, and the rain was neither too heavy nor too light, but it never stopped, making the day look gloomy. Looking up at the distance outside, it seemed as if there was a layer of gauze covering my eyes.

Wen Shengxian wrote to me saying that he was going to meet Zhu Weiyan Arsen. I guess it would be today, but I don't know what happened.

The letter also said that Kong Ming from the Liang family was invited to be a 'guest'. When Yun Xirou thought of this, her impression of the prince inexplicably changed.

This man was really bold. He dared to kidnap the children of aristocratic families openly under the feet of Emperor Yongchang. He simply did not take her, the empress, seriously.

Isn't it?! Yun Xirou looked at Liang Jiasongqing, who didn't look very happy either. It seemed that he knew something had happened to his brother.

In broad daylight, in the Yongchang Imperial City, a young man from an aristocratic family was "invited" by a prince from another country. This was a slap in the face of the Liang family and also a slap in the face of her, the empress.

After hearing the news, Yun Xirou immediately went to "consolation" the Liang family. The old man of the Liang family was a scholar. Although he was not as upright as Liang Qingsong, he was also a man who paid attention to the reputation of scholars and cared about his own reputation the most.

The old man was also shocked when he heard this, and then he repeatedly stated that everything was decided by the empress. To put it bluntly, he had made his own plans regardless of his son's life or death.

I don't know what the little prince is going to do! ? But when he is in that position, he just wants power and fame. He has seven older brothers and two younger brothers.

The struggle of the Nanyue royal family was much more fierce than that of Yongchang. It seemed that it was most likely for the throne of Nanyue. Yun Yurou was sitting in the hall, but she was thinking about the outside world and calculating in her heart.

In the mountains, under the pavilion, water stains the steps. In the morning, the mountain is a little cold, there are no birds, and the woods are silent.

Wen Shengxian was dressed in a green brocade robe, a warm woolen cloak, and holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. He seemed to be a little afraid of the cold, but he was more concerned about his body.

Observing his expression, his eyes were covered with a green veil, his movements were quick, calm and composed, he sat quietly under the pavilion, and had no intention of speaking.

The young man sitting opposite was wearing a short military uniform. He shook his wet hair, and water splashed on his clothes. The young man was angry, but he didn't care about it.

Zhu Weiyan Arsen did not keep the secret. After all, he was a young man, so he said frankly: "As long as you are willing to help me, I promise that when I become the monarch in the future, I will never invade Yongchang. I know that the Imperial Master has the ability to help me get what I want."

Yes, he was standing in front of the throne, looking at the supreme power before his eyes, how could he not be tempted? !

He was not the most favored child, nor was he the eldest son, so he had no advantage at all. Or perhaps there were too many princes of Nanyue, so none of them had an advantage.

The King of Nanyue is now nearly sixty years old, and his vigor and spirit are no longer as strong as they used to be, otherwise he would not have been bullied by Emperor Chanwen in the first two years.

During the civil unrest in Yongchang, South Vietnam did not invade or make any unusual moves. Wasn't it because they were also busy with their own affairs? !

I heard that two years ago, in order to plan for her eldest son, the Queen of Nanyue not only formed a clique in the court for personal gain, but also seized the silver mines in the border town of Nanyue for herself.

Later, the matter was reported to the court by the Fifth and Sixth Princes of Nanyue, together with dozens of ministers in the court, who exposed all his actions.

The evidence was irrefutable, and the King of Nanyue was furious. He deposed the Queen and imprisoned the Crown Prince. Since then, the Crown Prince position has been vacant, and the princes have been secretly plotting. Who doesn't have something in mind? !

"Your Highness, what you said is quite straightforward, but why should I help you? Just to avoid invading Yongchang? I think whoever gets that thing will not dare to invade Yongchang."

Wen Shengxian chuckled. He would not be convinced so easily. The more intense the battle for the throne of Nanyue, the more opportunities Yongchang would have to recuperate.

Seeing Zhu Weiyanshen shaking his hair, taking a sip of hot tea, revealing two little fangs, he stared at Wen Shengxian with a shrewd look, his eyes were smart and deep, which made people have to be on guard.

"The Imperial Master is wrong. We can't just focus on the present. In Yongchang, men and women have similar power. Although the royal family has dwindled and the empress is still young and has no children, her younger brother is still young. After more than ten years, it is inevitable that the little prince will have the intention to seize the throne. Who can say for sure who will own the throne in the future?!"

The Empress is in power now, but who will be in power ten years later? ! It is hard to say, but it is true that the Yongchang Emperor's heirs are dying out, and this is beyond doubt.

If what was expected was correct, everyone in the court had their own plans. Some hoped that the empress would marry a royal husband to continue having children, while others hoped that the empress would have no child and pass the throne to her younger brother.

"Master Imperial Master, tell me, will the empress let go when the time comes? Will she pass the throne to her child or younger brother? It can't be like the Zhenqian Incident, right?"

What Zhu Weiyan Arsen said was not without reason. Under their rule of Nanyue, it had always been the case that sons inherited their father's business and elder brother's business succeeded their younger brother, and the sons came first and the elder brother's business succeeded their younger brother later. Women did not have that much power.

But in Yongchang, all these were blurred. The throne of Yongchang seemed to be occupied by the most capable, which was why the Zhenqian Rebellion happened.
