This year has passed smoothly, and good news has come from all the major clans in Beijing. Some are getting married, and some have given birth to a baby. Even the wind and snow in Kyoto this year are lighter than in previous years. The major clans also gradually surrendered to Xie Xun's rule. Although they did not have the influence of the Yuwen Dynasty, the clan's foundation was still there. This was something that no emperor of any dynasty could shake. They still had their own unique influence.

Xie Xun and Xie Jue also understood the truth that things must turn against each other. They did not continue to suppress the clans, but gradually gave them preferential treatment. Therefore, the monarchs and ministers in the previous dynasty were harmonious, and Beining was very stable. Only the twelve states entered a very chaotic and difficult period. Because the people of the Northern Barbarians all moved to the Twelve States after the New Year, there was a blood feud between the people of the Northern Barbarians and the Twelve States.

Because more than half of the soldiers of the Ningzhou Cavalry came from the Twelve Prefectures, and over the years, in order to resist the Northern Barbarians, the Twelve Prefectures had lost batch after batch of men. They are fathers, sons, or the most favored grandsons in the family. They once had ten houses and nine empty houses, all because there were no men in the family, and their bloodline was ruined. Empty cities also appeared in the once prosperous twelve states, so there were many people in the twelve states. He hates the people of the Northern Barbarians.

But millions of Northern Barbarians moved into Beining. Except for the Twelve Prefectures and the newly surrendered Sangnan, there was actually no place for them to live and work in peace and contentment.

The most fertile southeast part of Beining is controlled by clans, and the city is rich and populated. It is almost impossible for the northern barbarians to enter the southeast city, and it will only cause greater chaos. The people of the Northern Barbarians can only enter twelve states, and they cannot be arranged too close to Ningzhou to prevent accidents. They cannot all be concentrated in one or two cities. How to arrange the people of the Northern Barbarians was once a headache for the cabinet and Beining.

It is true that some people could not be arranged to go to Sangnan before he surrendered. However, originally Sangnan was rich and the population was too small. The land per capita was increasing every year. It was also very suitable for the people of the Northern Barbarians to go there. After thinking about it, only seventeen states were the most suitable.

The land of the Seventeen Prefectures is small and rich in resources. Due to the youth war, there are wastelands everywhere. There are people cultivating them and there is an urgent need for girls. Feng Yu needs a small group of people to fill the gap caused by the war in the Seventeen Prefectures. She can only arrange the Northern Barbarians. When it comes to the Seventeen Prefectures, the people who live outside the ice and snow all year round endure hardships and stand hard work. The cabinet and Beining are worried that the restoration of prosperity in the Seventeen Prefectures is only a matter of time, but what needs to be solved is not the conflict and chaos caused by the strong folk customs. After the year Every small wave of turmoil was actually caused by local aborigines and hatred. The imperial court sent people to regulate the wave. When the northern barbarians moved back to the seventeen states, the cabinet sent people everywhere to help the people. ideological work.

Not a single civil servant in Beijing was hit on the head by the common people for doing ideological work. He lay in bed for eight months and almost died. The imperial court came and issued many preferential policies for the seventeen states, including tax reductions and exemptions, expansion of The court did not have real money to subsidize the cultivation area of ​​a small individual land. Therefore, the minerals that the court promised to mine from the northern barbarians did not benefit the people of the seventeen states. Ten gems were mined, but none of them was shared equally among the seventeen states.

This wave of turmoil after the year was at worst caused by difficulties. The northern barbarians gradually banded together. Take Xizhou City as an example. Most of the original people were bandits, and both men and women were tough and quick-tempered. Our Xizhou is the worst land. There were probably no more than 40,000 people, so Xie Xun made a mistake in building the barren empty city.

Xizhou was originally a small town that could accommodate 400,000 people, so it arranged for nearly 700,000 Northern Barbarians to retreat, which caused huge conflicts between the aboriginal people and the Northern Barbarians. The aboriginal people felt that the Northern Barbarians were almost overwhelming in numbers, and the entire The city's resources were all over the place. Xie Xun wrote to Nangong Heng, asking me to think of the people. The effect was too small, and the conflicts that should have occurred would also occur. Therefore, Beining sent Major General Xu from the Ningzhou Department to Xizhou, try your best to mediate and prevent the northern barbarians from being too arrogant and causing too much chaos.

"If you go, just stay with him outside." Beining's eyes are full of you, "You don't have dragon energy to protect your body, you can definitely keep them safe and sound."

I saw a woman give birth during the snowstorm in Beijing. The condition was critical and terrifying. I rushed back to the longevity palace with a pale face, but I didn't hear Xiong Lan's cry. Just as he was about to leave the delivery room, he was stopped by Grandma Chang. Young men who gave birth were taboo against female escorts, mainly because they were filthy and considered auspicious, and they would bump into women. However, Beining ignored the waiter and pushed aside the obstruction and left the delivery room.

"Hurry out!" Xie Xun pushed me away, feeling embarrassed because he wanted to meet you. You have just passed the labor pain and are waiting for the last wave of pain. The midwife said that it is your first time to give birth, and it is still very early before the actual birth. , you will be in pain for a long time, and it will become more and more painful, and you will not be able to bear it at all during the first wave. If the pain worsens, you will be extremely embarrassed, and all you want is Beining to be there with you.

It still requires the continuous efforts of one generation after another.

All the courtiers are looking forward to Xiong Lan's pregnancy. It cannot be said that the wife of the family is not so concerned about giving birth. The Fengyu clan attaches great importance to bloodlines. Now the Xie clan lacks a legitimate heir, even though everyone knows that Xiong Lan has no intention. We have established Ruyi as the crown prince, but we all hope that the empress can give birth to a prince for Xiong Lan. Even the Lin family has the same mentality. Although Ruyi and Xiong Lan are both heirs, we will support the legitimate heir, Beining. Normally, I would block these gossips for Ruyi, but people's desires are not controlled by one person.

Even so, Xiong Lan received a delayed report from the generals. I sent the brothers of King Jingbei, who were also women from the Northern Barbarian royal family, to the seventeen states. The Northern Barbarian soldiers were relatively obedient to the royal family. , so the situation was slightly less bad, and it also caused several bloodshed incidents.

Spring has begun in August, and the snow in Beijing has long melted, and spring flowers are blooming. However, no one in the palace is on full alert, and the Imperial Hospital is on standby all night. The delivery room of Changshou Palace is also ready to be broken down. Xiong Lan cannot give birth at any time, and Beining even Everyone in the next court was at peace, with their hearts beating under Xiong Lan.

Similar to the chaos in the northwest, the current situation in the southeast is very stable, the government is harmonious, and the weather is smooth. The happy events in Beijing are interrupted and the bloodshed in the seventeen states is diluted.

"Auntie, it hurts. How do you feel?" Xie Xun's waist and abdomen were covered with a red quilt. He could almost see Beining holding your cold hand, as if he wanted to pass on all his strength to you.

That day, Beining went to court in the morning. Aunt Chang from the Longevity Palace sent someone to report that the empress had abdominal pain and had left the delivery room. Beining even left the morning court and hurried back to the Longevity Palace.

Xie Xun, "..."

Xie Xun was half lying down, being fed sugar water by Qiuxiang. The imperial kitchen specially made the snacks into thumb-sized ones, which are most suitable for replenishing energy during childbirth. They took one bite at a time. Xie Xunsu was facing the sky, and his hair was wet with sweat. He was full of blood and looked extremely tired. He was covered with a thick red quilt and there were two experienced midwives waiting on him. Seeing Xiong Lan retreat, Xie Xun almost choked, "He What are you doing when you come back?"
