Chapter 764: Many children, many blessings
Five days later, the surrendered soldiers set off one after another and headed north.
Guan Shouchang led the Weihu Army, Wushuang Army, Longxiang Army and Baima Army south to Nanzhong, intending to advance eastward from there.
Chen Qing's white-robed army stayed behind to guard the Sichuan area and, together with Sun Ting, governed the area and searched for the escaped princes, nobles and crown prince.
Before leaving, Chen Qing and Sun Ting saw the army off.
Chen Qing felt a little apologetic towards Bai Wuan, and repeatedly stated that it was definitely not him who took the initiative to write a letter asking to stay, and he had never contacted the court.
Bai Wuan said that it was okay, and that he would come to have a drink with Chen Qing after the world was unified.
Everyone thought that Bai Wuan would be the one to stay, but only Bai Wuan himself knew that the candidate could be anyone, but not him.
The reason is very simple. The Bai family is now the largest family in Qin. Members of the family hold many important official positions. Although there is also a governor, the Bai family is too powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that they can cover the sky with one hand in Qin.
Under such circumstances, how could the emperor allow Bai Wuan to lead his army and rule Sichuan alone as a local emperor?
If this is the case, it means that the entire Qin and Sichuan countries are all under the control of the Bai family.
One country is already a big trouble, let alone letting the Bai family take charge of the Qinchuan area of the two countries.
Unless the emperor is crazy.
……
Jingzhou.
The shipyard has been established for four months. From being poor and backward to now having large and small ships scattered throughout the port, it can be said that the State of Yan has mobilized a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build this navy.
Zhou Yun, the commander of the Chu navy, did come to harass the Yan army twice, but was ruthlessly repelled by the Yan army's artillery both times.
Helpless, Zhou Yun did not dare to approach the shore and could only seize the time to reinforce the hull.
But he was becoming less and less confident and could only urge the Jinling Shipyard to build and send the ship quickly.
Prince Shen and some women lived in the royal compound of Jingzhou. The front hall was the office and the back was the living area.
The emperor handled government affairs here on a daily basis.
In the past few months, Jingzhou has become the political center of Yan State. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor, and its business has also developed accordingly.
On this day, Prince Shen, who had nothing to do, inspected the work of the shipyard and then came to inspect the work of His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor was busy reviewing memorials, but he kept looking back and forth before his eyes, looking left and right. He couldn't help but frown and said,
"What are you doing? If you have nothing to do, go out and don't hang around in front of me."
Shen Changgong laughed and said,
"It's okay, I just came to check on how the work is going."
"You? Checking my work?"
Yan Fuyao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Changgong, which made Shen Changgong feel guilty.
Shen Changgong laughed and sat down beside her. He put his right hand around her waist and gently stroked her belly with his left hand, saying,
"I just wanted to see you, but since you were busy, I didn't want to disturb you."
"Do you want to see me? Do you want to see my belly? Besides, you've already disturbed me.
If you really have nothing to do, go touch Yu Ziling's belly. Her belly is eight months old and it's very big. I like to touch it too."
"I'm thinking of something."
Shen Changgong hugged her and said,
"At present, the shipyard has produced more than 2,000 ships of various sizes. Although it is not as large as the enemy's 3,000 ships, it is almost the same.
We have cannons, and their ships are not completely covered with iron sheets. Even if they were, it would be useless because they could be destroyed with one shot.
I plan to go to war with the Chu navy. After we win, you and Zi Ling will stay with the Yuying Army, and I will lead the main force across the river to attack Yingdu. What do you think?
After all, you are both pregnant."
"Not really, I stayed here because I wanted you, my husband, to be by my side during my pregnancy and childbirth.
Zi Ling thought the same thing. You can stop her from fighting, but you have to let her follow you.
She has no relatives, and you are her husband, her only relative. At this time, she must be feeling so miserable without you by her side."
Shen Changgong sighed,
"I'm just worried about your health."
"We are both in good health. Zi Ling has been pregnant for eight months, and I have been pregnant for more than four months. By the time you finish the battle, it will not be time for you to give birth. Perhaps, when you take Yingdu, it will be time for Zi Ling to give birth.
By the time you conquer Yugui of Qian Kingdom, it will be almost time for me to give birth.
We will accompany you all the way to unify the world.
You have to stay with us and watch the baby being born."
"Well... okay, then you can follow me. But there's one thing: you are not allowed to go to the front lines. The Yuying Army's mission is to always protect your safety."
"Alright, alright, I get it. If you have nothing to do, go spend more time with Zi Ling. She's quite bored when she's idle, and she's very sensitive right now, so she needs company."
"That's what I said. I never go to see her again."
"Then go and favor other women, and try to have more children after the world is unified, so that our family can have more fun."
"I am an ox and a horse, so hardworking that I can plow the fields. You don't care about your husband's health at all."
Yan Fuyao grabbed Shen Changgong's ear and said,
"You're taking advantage of me and acting like a spoiled brat. You say no, but you're secretly happy, right? Do you want me to find you a few more queens to play with?"
Strange wife? "
"Hahaha……"
Looking at Yan Fuyao's weird look, Shen Changgong just thought she was cute, so he hugged her and gave her a big kiss.
Suddenly, a pretty figure came running in from outside the door. Looking at her lively jumping appearance, you could tell who she was without having to guess.
Gongsun Wan'er ran in and excitedly took Yan Fuyao's hand and said,
"Your Majesty, I have some great news. Guess what it is."
"Are you pregnant?"
"Hey? How did you guess that? I just asked the imperial physician to feel my pulse and figure it out, and then I came here. How did you know it before me?"
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at her and said,
"What else could possibly be the reason you're saying this is such a great joy? It can't be that you picked up ten taels of silver."
Shen Changgong said quickly,
"Wait, wait, wait, shouldn't you tell me, your husband, that you're pregnant first? Why are you rushing over to tell her first?"
Gongsun Wan'er pouted and snorted coldly,
"Hmph, who do you think you are? What business do you have? His Majesty and I are the best in the world. You are no longer useful. Go wherever you need to go."
Shen Changgong said nothing and raised his hand silently.
Gongsun Wan'er shrank her neck in fear.
Yan Fuyao glared at Shen Changgong and shouted,
"She's pregnant, try hitting her again!"
