Chapter 231 Ten Sons
This is already the twentieth child, and Zheng Yi already has experience.

After receiving greetings from a large group of people, he sat upright on the main seat and waited quietly.

"Your Majesty, Sister Qingfei is blessed with great fortune, nothing will happen to her."

Queen Lu Lin'er whispered at the side that she had vaguely heard something over the years.

Your Majesty and several concubines are all practicing Taoism.

For example, Concubine Cui, Concubine Chan, Concubine Yu, Concubine Yin, and Concubine Qing who is currently giving birth, etc.

This gave her a sense of crisis.

Moreover, in the past few years, there have been nineteen more princes and princesses in the harem, including nine princes.

If Concubine Qing gives birth to more princes, then there will be ten princes!

By then, Ji'er's competition will be very fierce.

He must find a way to win over a few concubines to form an alliance and gain some support for his son in the future.

The person who poses the greatest threat to her now is undoubtedly Concubine Cui.

Yang Guifei was a criminal and had only one daughter, so she didn't pose much of a threat.

Moreover, in the past two years, His Majesty's visits to their rooms have obviously decreased a lot.

On the contrary, Concubine Cui, Concubine Chan and Concubine Yu were quite favored by His Majesty.

The most important thing is that each of the three of them also has a prince.

Indistinctly, the three of them became very close and soon formed an alliance.

There is also Concubine Duan Xu Qingluan, who has a son and a daughter. She has Xu Mujun behind her, and she has also won over Concubine De Li Changle and others.

Concubine Duan's reputation in the harem was no less than hers.

Now, in the entire harem, the only people she can form an alliance with are Concubine Yin and Concubine Qing.

"Ah."

Zheng Yi nodded, but his mind was not on Lu Lin'er's words.

As long as Concubine Qing gives birth to a prince, his Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror will be able to open up a second three thousand worlds. Who knows what kind of world it will be?
"Your Majesty, what do you think of my suggestion?"

"Ok?"

Zheng Yi came back to his senses and asked, "What's your opinion?"

Lu Lin'er said, "Half of the concubines in the palace are recuperating and unable to take care of Your Majesty. Besides, the rest of the women in the harem are clumsy and rough, which Your Majesty doesn't like. How about holding another national beauty pageant?"

"What did you say, talent show?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it has been seven or eight years since the last draft. It's been long enough."

Lu Lin'er said, "According to convention, the royal selection is held every three years. Your Majesty, although you selected quite a few beauties in your first selection, it is time for a second selection..."

She mentioned this for two reasons.

First, with more new people in the harem, His Majesty’s visits to Concubine Cui and others will inevitably decrease.

Secondly, their Lu family has also found many outstanding women. If they can all catch His Majesty's eye, their power and voice will naturally increase.

Zheng Yi's mind moved. If he was to participate in a talent show, wouldn't that mean that his life span would continue to increase?
The blood sacrifice of the reincarnation nine-infant fruit and the soul-devouring insect obtained from the Zheng family's treasure house both require a large amount of blood essence. If...

After thinking about it, Zheng Yi shook his head.

The top priority now is the second three thousand worlds.

The talent show can be delayed further.

Besides, there is a war in the south of Dayu and a threat from the Wu Kingdom on the northern border. How can he hold a national talent show at this time?

At least, we have to wait until the government is stable.

"Let's discuss this later. Right now, the south is still fighting against the rebellion, and the Wu Kingdom in the north is also entangled. Let's talk about it after the country is stable."

Lu Lin'er immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise, I am terrified."

Your Majesty doesn't allow?

It seems that they can only wait a little longer.

“Wow wow wow…~”

Just then, a cry was heard from the bedroom.

Zheng Yi stood up subconsciously: "Qing Fei gave birth?"

"His Majesty……!"

Just then, Liu Chengen walked in quickly with an excited smile on his face.

“Your Majesty! Great victory, great victory…!”

"Oh?"

Zheng Yi smiled and asked, "What's the good news?"

"His Majesty!"

Liu Chengen said: "The battle report came from Qingzhou. General Xu has led his troops to wipe out the White Lotus Sect. He also personally killed the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect and killed more than 300,000 members of the White Lotus Sect."

"The remaining White Lotus sect members either collapsed or surrendered to the imperial army..."

"More than 300,000..."

Hearing this number, Zheng Yi's heart couldn't help but twitch.

Among these 300,000 people, the vast majority are ordinary people.

However, due to the turmoil in the country, he was swept into the torrent of history and unfortunately died.

Part of the reason is because of himself!
If they had not acted on their own and added fuel to the fire of Dayu in advance, they would not have died so quickly.

but……

The longer you delay, the more people will die!

Only by cutting the Gordian knot can we usher in the entire prosperous era as soon as possible!

These thoughts just flashed through Zheng Yi's mind and were quickly put out of his mind.

"How many casualties did our army suffer? Where is General Xu?"

Liu Chengen said: "Because of the power of firearms, our army suffered less than 20,000 casualties. We have now occupied Guangqing City and are resting and recuperating."

"As for General Xu, he was not injured and is currently in charge of all the affairs of Qingzhou."

"it is good!"

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "Hahahaha... Today is really a double happiness."

Liu Chengen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is another happy event~"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Didn't General Meng Guang kill a cultivator in Yunmengze a few days ago? The corpse of that cultivator has been secretly escorted back to the capital. You see..."

Zheng Yi's eyes flickered as he asked, "Oh? The corpse of the middle-stage Qi training cultivator from the Tuoba family?"

In this war, several monks have died at the hands of the Dayu imperial army.

Zheng Yi specifically ordered Xu Mujun to deal with the monk from Nanyue County who was killed by Xu Mujun in Yunzhou on his own.

After all, as long as warriors are willing to consume their essence and blood, they can also use the magic weapons of cultivators.

Now, the bodies of the monks from Yunmengze who died at the hands of Meng Guang's army were transported to the capital.

At this moment, the bedroom door was opened by the wet nurse, who came out holding a baby.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Qing has given birth to a prince!"

“Wow…~!”

All of a sudden, all the concubines and palace maids present were so shocked that they were speechless.

Prince.

Another prince.

In the past few years, the concubines in the harem gave birth to ten princesses in succession.

At that time, everyone thought that Dayu’s feng shui was not good and that a boy could not be born.

Who would have thought that after the world fell into chaos, in just three years, the harem gave birth to ten princes!
This is undoubtedly a great happy event for the entire court.

Zheng Yi laughed and said, "Reward! Reward everyone!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zheng Yi teased the child for a while, then got up and went into the bedroom to check on Concubine Qing.

"Your Majesty~"

Although Qing Fei's face was a little pale, she was undoubtedly in good spirits.

She is only seventeen years old now, which is the best time for her physical condition, and giving birth will not be a big burden for her.

"Please take a seat, my dear. You don't have to stand up and salute."

Zheng Yi supported Qing Fei and let her lean on the quilt.

"I have lived up to your trust and have given birth to a prince for your majesty..."

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear."

Zheng Yi stroked Qing Fei's little face, his eyes full of pity, and said a lot of caring words.

He has said these words more than a dozen times and they are extremely familiar to him.

But for Qing Fei, it was undoubtedly the first time she heard it, and she was even more moved. She didn't want to let go of Zheng Yi's big hands.

"Okay, my beloved, I have already picked a name for our child. Don't you want to know?"

Zheng Yi touched Concubine Qing's head. Concubine Qing raised her head shyly and asked, "Your Majesty, what name did you give our child?"

"Thai."

Zheng Yi said succinctly: "Tai means peace and stability, when heaven and earth are connected and all things are connected."

"Inner yang and outer yin, inner strength and outer compliance, inner gentleman and outer villain, the way of the gentleman will flourish while the way of the villain will fade."

"When this boy was born, General Xu of Qingzhou conquered Guangqing City of the White Lotus Sect and wiped out the White Lotus Sect. Our Great Yu was about to pacify the south. It was truly a double blessing."

"So I named this child 'Zheng Chengtai'. What do you think, my beloved concubine?"

"Chengtai, Chengtai..."

Concubine Qing murmured a few words, then hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the word Tai may be the same as 'Tai', will it be taboo to be named after the Crown Prince?"

"Hehehe..."

Zheng Yi smiled faintly and said, "My beloved concubine, don't worry about it. I have thought about this before, but so what?"

"I have ten sons, but it's not certain who will be the crown prince."

"Maybe in the future, there will be more princes, hahahaha..."

Or maybe, there will only be a prince who lives for a hundred years, or even a thousand years!
Concubine Qing's heart was moved, and she immediately bowed her head and said obediently: "Your Majesty, I will obey your majesty's orders in everything."

"it is good!"

Zheng Yi touched her head again and said carefully: "My beloved concubine, please take a rest first. I have other things to deal with."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

After leaving Changqing Palace and sending the queen away, Zheng Yi headed towards Baiyujing.

He didn't notice the strange look from Lu Lin'er behind him.

"Tai? Isn't this related to my Ji'er's position as the crown prince?"

"Your Majesty, is this unintentional or intentional?"

"The Qing Fei's mother's family is just a small official in the Ministry of Rites. What does Your Majesty mean?"

Zheng Yi did not care about the speculations of the people in the palace, but came to Baiyujing and saw the body of Tuoba Qingtong sent back by Meng Guang.

Inside the main hall, there is a huge sarcophagus.

A navy messenger waited carefully on the side and said, "Your Majesty, this is the body of the monk that General Meng ordered us to deliver."

"We have used lime, salt and other materials to keep the body from decaying along the way. Your Majesty, please check it."

Zheng Yi said calmly: "Open it."

"promise!"

Several palace guards came over and worked together to open the coffin.

A pungent smell came immediately. Zheng Yi waved his hand to dispel the smell and walked over.

Inside the sarcophagus was the body of a young man who was about thirty years old.

The young man was wearing a green robe, his face was filled with shock, and his body was covered with a thick layer of lime and green salt.

Zheng Yi looked carefully and found a storage bag around his waist.

There is nothing else besides this.

"His Majesty."

The messenger carefully took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it over respectfully.

"The box contains the flying sword of this monk. When the monk was killed, the flying sword he used accidentally fell into Yunmeng Lake. It took us three days and three nights to salvage it."

"Otherwise, the body would have been sent back a few days earlier."

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Present it."

"promise!"

Liu Chengen walked over quickly, took the wooden box, and then handed it to Zheng Yi respectfully.

When I opened it, a faint vapor spread out.

After taking a closer look, I saw that, as expected, a three-inch long, blue, crystal-like flying sword was lying in the wooden box.

"Flying sword... this spiritual energy fluctuation doesn't seem to have any loss."

Zheng Yi murmured, but soon thought of something.

Tuoba Qingtong was killed by the Blood Moon Gu at an extremely fast speed and did not have time to resist.

Then this flying sword will naturally not suffer much damage.

I don’t know what grade this flying sword is.
