"Your Majesty, are they boys or girls?" Cai Yan was a little confused.
She likes her daughter, because a girl is her mother's little padded jacket.
My daughter will definitely be very caring.
But she worried that both were daughters.
Because in this feudal era, only boys can inherit the great line, if both of them are daughters.
Even if His Majesty thinks it doesn't matter, the Queen Mother will definitely be disappointed.
"Uh... I didn't see it just now, I'll take another look."
Liu Bian put one hand on Cai Yan's stomach again, and his perception gradually released.
As if feeling the touch, the little guy in his belly kicked his belly lightly, as if communicating with Liu Bian.
Ok……
The one with the handle is a boy.
be nice,
This kid is actually communicating with me?
Liu Bian was amazed.
Because he clearly felt the child's emotions!
He continues to diffuse consciousness,
A slightly smaller baby was found in the corner of the placenta,
didn't
It's a daughter!
A man and a woman, twins!
Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief.
It is enough to have a boy, and the queen mother will not force him to have a baby anymore.
"How about it?"
Cai Yan asked nervously.
"It's twins." Liu Bian rolled up a strand of her hair that was scattered on her forehead, bringing this joy to her.
had dinner,
Liu Bian continued to interact with the child. He tapped Cai Yan's belly lightly with his fingers, and the child responded with a little foot.
Neither was trying hard because they both cared about the same woman.
but,
What made Liu Bian curious was that every time it was the boy who responded to him, the girl was still huddled in the corner, very quiet.
If it wasn't for Liu Bian who could hear her heartbeat, he would even be worried that something was wrong with her.
Maybe,
Boys are like fathers, girls are like mothers.
The news that Cai Yan was pregnant with dragon and phoenix twins quickly spread throughout the harem.
Knowing that Cai Yan was pregnant with two at once, the Queen Mother happily skipped breakfast and ran to Jiaofang Hall.
Liu Bian was also busy with state affairs while staying with his wife at home.
Recently, he has become a little obsessed with interacting with children through his belly.
As for the other concubines, he didn't have time to pay attention to them.
It was Cai Yan who drove him out so that the other concubines would have a chance to be lucky.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed.
During this period,
News came from Pengzhou that Zhang Yun had led his troops to occupy the entire territory of Pengzhou, and by the way, also defeated the country of the Maoren.
Today, Pengzhou has been completely controlled by the big man.
More and more people moved to Pengzhou.
Although the area of Pengzhou is small, it does have a lot of mineral deposits.It has also become an important mining base for Dahan.
As for the aborigines, Zhang He resolutely carried out Liu Bian's policy.
All males are castrated, and females are tattooed as slaves!
Never let this race have any chance to continue!
Furthermore, the canton of Vaud once again achieved the highest grain production in the country.
Under the management of Yan Rou, Tian Chou and others, the development is getting better and better.In terms of military affairs, generals such as Gongsun Zan, Xu Rong and Li Tianwen led the team to continue to expand northward.
He defeated several Tungus tribes one after another, providing sufficient security for the Han border.
northwest,
Ran Min completely rectified Hujie, and together with Zhongyue, Pang De, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Li Tong and others defeated Yanqi, Cheshi, Qiuci and other countries.
Of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, more than two-thirds have surrendered!
The imperial court abolished the Protectorate of the Western Regions, set up Tingzhou, and divided counties for governance.
In addition, there are still Wusun, Dawan, Weitou and other countries that have not surrendered.
south side,
Sun Jian encountered many obstacles when governing Zhuzhou, but generally he is developing in a good direction.
The temple buildings have almost been demolished, what should be killed, what should be distributed, and what should be tattooed.
As for the surrounding small countries,
Although Sun Jian hadn't freed up his hands to deal with them, but because all of their troops were brought to the big man by Liu Bian, they had no soldiers in their hands, so they were very honest and obedient.
Originally they were not so obedient,
There is an island country in the south, called the kingdom of Anuradhapura, which occupies the island of Ceylon on its own, and faces the South Asian subcontinent across the sea, and does not accept the government orders of the great man.
Because they saw with their own eyes that the main fleet of Dahan had withdrawn.
Later, Sun Jian sent Sun Ce to lead the troops. He drove three medium-sized steam warships and led [-] troops to kill them. They broke through the capital of Anuradhapura in one fell swoop and beheaded its king and more than [-] members of the royal family.
With this early bird, other countries suddenly became much more honest.
However, military
Dahan's key prevention object is Guishuang.
to this end,
Liu Bian sent Cao Cao, Bai Qi, Zang Ba, Huo Qubing and others to guard the border.
For more than half a year, Guishuang was restless.
While actively wooing countries such as the Parthian Empire and Khwarazimo, they are constantly negotiating with the big man.
He even sent envoys to Luoyang, hoping to establish diplomatic relations with the great Han.
However, Liu Bian's several conditions put them in a difficult situation.
If you want to surrender, you can, but you can't lose the old coins.
In addition, if you want to express your sincerity, you must send some princes and princesses to the big man as hostages.
Then there is the establishment of business roads, allowing the merchants of the Han Dynasty to enter, and protecting the lives and property of the merchants of the Han Dynasty!
Guishuang naturally would not agree to the high old coins and so many hostages.
But they are really afraid of big guys!
The power of the heartless cannon is too terrifying.
Therefore, they are actively negotiating with the big man.
Liu Bian has no intention of attacking Guishuang for the time being.
One is that the successive years of wars have consumed a lot of national power of the Han Dynasty.Even if he has a system, he can't withstand the use of hundreds of thousands of troops every year to fight.
After all, the annual construction expenditure is quite huge.
The second is that his child is about to be born, and he doesn't want to go to war for the time being.
The third is that he hasn't figured out the details of Guishuang yet.
He has arranged for spies to enter Guishuang, Khwarazmo, and even rest these countries.
It's not too late to start when the time is right.
In July of the sixth year of Shenwu,
Cai Yan gave birth to a son and a daughter, mother and child are safe!
Chapter 503 Opportunity
In the summer of 198 AD,
The whole man was immersed in joy because of the birth of two new lives.
Because everyone is grateful for today's day, they are naturally happy for Liu Bian.
Liu Bian asked Cai Yong to name them,
For one thing, Cai Yong is the dean of the Imperial College of the Han Dynasty, in charge of the collection of books in the world, and can be said to be the most knowledgeable person in the entire Han Dynasty.
Secondly, Cai Yong is also the grandfather of the two children.
Because this is the trust of the emperor, Cai Yong did not refuse,
When the boy was born, the morning glow appeared in the sky, covering the big man!
