The cannon fodder just wants to survive until the end

It is spring now, and it is the right time to plant the cultivated potato seedlings in the fields. The farmers on the farm are very curious about what these are. Since Ming Huaixi did not allow these unknown crops to occupy the fertile land, the farmers do not care. They just do whatever their master tells them to do.

Yang Xiuyuan knew that Ming Huaixi had his own caravan, and he was not averse to it. Sometimes he even wanted to travel around with the caravan.

In his eyes, this was his dream, but when he thought about the things he had on hand, he decided to give up. He hoped to wait until the next generation of the royal family grew up, and then he wouldn't have to be so busy.

So Yang Xiuyuan became very passionate about having children again.

Ming Huaixi was just too much for her, and finally in the harvest season of autumn that year, she was diagnosed as pregnant. This summer, two of the prince's wives, who were about to marry Yang Xiuyuan, were diagnosed as pregnant.

Now that Ming Huaixi is pregnant, Yang Xiuyuan's habit of speaking out of joy comes back again, "Xi, Xi, er, we, have, a, child."

A few punctuation marks in a sentence, so sure, but this makes me nervous again.

"Yes, yes, we have a baby, are you happy?" Ming Huaixi found this man's silly look funny and wanted to tease him on purpose, "What should I do? I heard that giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell. I'm so worried."

Ming Huaixi acted as if he was worried.

"What is so dangerous?" Yang Xiuyuan stood up and grabbed Ming Huaixi's sleeve. "Xi'er, how about we not have this child? You are the most important to me."

"Pfft, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, as long as you listen to the doctor and take good care of it, there won't be any big problems."

"Really, nothing? No, I need to find my mother and ask her to help me get a doctor to stay in the mansion."

Imperial physicians are exclusive to the palace. In theory, they only serve the emperor and the concubines in the palace. There is a quota for foreign officials to see and receive treatment from imperial physicians.

Unless the emperor orders the imperial physician to live in that palace permanently, the imperial physician cannot live in any palace permanently.

"Okay, I'm fine now. I don't need the imperial physician to stay for a long time. We'll talk about it later. The doctors in our palace are actually quite good. We don't need the imperial physician to come."

Ming Huaixi dismissed his idea. The imperial physician couldn't just say yes and the baby would be born. If the pregnancy was not good, he could ask his mother for help. But everything was fine now, so how could he trouble his mother so much?

"Xi'er, if you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."

"Well I will definitely tell you."

Jingguo Ji family

The father and son of the Ji family were discussing in the study how to gain the support of military generals and thereby gain control of the power in the army.

"Father, the emperor is becoming more and more incompetent. Currently, except for the lack of military support, most of the other officials are ours."

"Chen'er, it's a pipe dream to overthrow a mature dynasty without military force." Ji Xiang is an experienced person and can see the truth of things.

Ji Chen also understood that it would be impossible to accomplish anything with only civil officials but no military force. "Father, who do you think can serve as a starting point?"

"Among the current Jingguo troops, the most powerful one is the Lingnan Army." Ji Xiang looked at his son and told him the key to breaking through this situation.

Ji Chen was a little confused. In his opinion, this didn't seem to be an easy path to break through. "But my father, General Xing, the current commander of the Lingnan Army, can't support us. Everyone knows that he was promoted by His Majesty. He can be said to be the emperor's confidant."

"Although General Xing is the emperor's confidant, Chen'er, don't forget that it is not just General Xing who has a huge influence on the Lingnan Army." Ji Xiang's plan was never to follow General Xing's path.

Ji Chen hesitated for a moment, "Father is talking about the old Marquis of Xinyang?"

"Yes."

"Old Xinyang Marquis is your Majesty's father-in-law. How can we convince him of this?"

Ji Xiang suddenly changed the subject and brought the matter to Ming Huaixi's mother. "Chen'er, your father has been an official for many years, so he naturally has some power in the palace. Do you know how the mother of the current Princess Mingyue, Concubine Li, died?"

"There are rumors out there that Concubine Li was plotted against by a concubine she had offended before. Is there some hidden story behind this?"

"Chen'er, you should know that the imperial family is the most ruthless. Concubine Li was forced to enter the palace, and His Majesty also favored her constantly. But not long after the old Marquis of Xinyang handed over the military power, Concubine Li died of illness. There is an inevitable connection between the two.

One of my secret agents in the palace happened to know the truth of what happened back then. Concubine Li didn't have to die, but His Majesty dragged her to death. Those who knew the truth back then were punished, and my agent just happened to know about it. "After saying this, Ji Xiang sighed, as if he was sighing for the consequences of Concubine Li.

Ji Chen didn't know what had happened that made His Majesty want Concubine Li to die. "Father, I don't understand. The old Marquis of Xinyang has handed over the military power. Why does His Majesty want Concubine Li to die?"

Ji Xiang laughed sarcastically at first, then explained the reason, "Our Majesty was a romantic man when he was young. No, he was a cowardly romantic man. At that time, His Majesty had a beloved concubine, but because Concubine Li entered the palace, His Majesty had to pretend to favor Concubine Li, and His Majesty's beloved concubine was neglected. By the time our Majesty remembered her, the beloved concubine had already died of an illness because of falling out of favor.

Your Majesty has long blamed Concubine Li for the loss of his lover. Before the old Marquis of Xinyang handed over his military power, Your Majesty did not dare to act rashly. Once the old Marquis of Xinyang handed over his military power, Your Majesty will have nothing to worry about. "

Ji Chen didn't understand and was greatly shocked. Are all emperors like this? For a moment, Ji Chen wanted to rebel. He was afraid that he would become a disgusting person with a hypocritical appearance.

"Soon your father will have someone tell the Marquis of Xinyang the truth about Concubine Li's death. Before that, you can try to contact the old Marquis of Xinyang. The old Marquis of Xinyang is loyal and courageous, but he is not a pedantic person. I believe this matter will most likely succeed."

"I know, father. Yuan'er said that the emperor sent another message, asking anyone who noticed anything wrong in the Ji Mansion to report it to him immediately. A Ling has been depressed since he was dismissed from office. I think I should find something for A Ling to do."

"Just look at the arrangements."

Ji Ling was dismissed from his post the last time he advised Emperor Sheng Yuan as a minor official. Since then, he has fallen into self-doubt. Since he learned to read at a young age, he has learned to be a capable minister, a wise minister, and a minister who would go down in history and open up a prosperous era for the people of the world.

But the reality is that his talent, ambition, and passion have nowhere to be displayed, and it seems that according to the records in the book, he can't get anywhere.
