Chapter 221 The Fourth Child Is Born

North Palace.

Outside the main courtyard.

Lu Chen's women were waiting anxiously at the door. Chu Yuqin glanced at the pregnant sisters Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou, and then said: "Xiaoxiao, Youyou, you two are also pregnant, so there is no need to stand here. Wait, you should go back and rest."

Zhou Xiaoxiao said: "Aunt Chu, we are fine."

As soon as Zhou Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she heard Mu Zixuan's painful cry from inside the room.

After hearing Mu Zixuan's cry, Chu Yuqin quickly turned to the female guard at the entrance of the courtyard and said, "Is the prince not back yet?"

Although Mu Zixuan was able to give birth with the help of a midwife, giving birth was a very painful process. Chu Yuqin had just sent someone to notify Lu Chen and asked Lu Chen to come back quickly and use magic to help Mu Zixuan relieve the pain.

The female guard at the door said: "Mrs. Chu, the prince has gone to Xincheng. I have asked the Jin Yiwei to inform him. He should be back soon."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin sighed. Before Lu Chen came back, Mu Zixuan had no choice but to endure the pain.

They don't know magic, so they can only stand outside and wait.

At this moment, Mu Zixuan's shrill scream came from the delivery room again.

But at this moment, a tall and majestic figure appeared at the door of the courtyard.

Seeing Lu Chen coming back, everyone at the door of the delivery room quickly moved out of the way.

Chu Yuqin said anxiously: "Chen'er, hurry in and take a look, Zixuan is about to give birth."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "Yes, okay."

There was no sense of urgency on Lu Chen's face. As long as he came back, Mu Zixuan would basically not be in any danger.

Giving birth to a child was a relatively risky matter in ancient times. Women often died of one or two children due to dystocia, but with Lu Chen in the palace, his wives and concubines would not have such a problem.

Lu Chen strode into the delivery room. At this time, Mu Zixuan was lying on the bed, sweating profusely and her face was pale. Her hair was all wet with sweat and it was all stuck together.

After seeing Lu Chen enter the room, Mu Zixuan's pale face showed a smile. As long as this man came back, everything would be no problem.

Lu Chen walked to the bedside, then took Mu Zixuan's hand and directly used the rejuvenation hand to relieve Mu Zixuan's pain.

Mu Zixuan was about to speak, but the child had not yet been born. She had to work harder and swallowed her words again.

Lu Chen then instilled spiritual power into Mu Zixuan. After the spiritual power entered Mu Zixuan's body, he isolated the baby from Mu Zixuan's body, and then wrapped the baby up. The baby's body instantly became extremely smooth, and it immediately Out.

The next moment, the baby's cries rang out in the delivery room.

The midwives immediately began to deal with the child's subsequent affairs.

Lu Chen smiled inwardly. He finally understood why the system rewarded him with the Rejuvenation Hand technique in the first place. It turned out that the biggest function of this technique was to help women give birth to children.

After the child was born, Lu Chen continued to use the rejuvenation hand to treat Mu Zixuan until Mu Zixuan regained her strength and her face turned rosy.

Mu Zixuan looked into Lu Chen's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, thank you."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly, raised his hand and touched Mu Zixuan's forehead, and helped her move the messy hair on her forehead to one side.

"You and I are husband and wife, so we don't need to be so polite."

"Let's see the child."

At this time, the midwives had finished taking care of the child. After hearing Lu Chen's words, the midwife immediately took the child over.

Lu Chen sat beside the bed, put the child on the bed, and then looked at it carefully.

It's a boy.

And he is a big fat boy, weighing at least ten pounds.

Mu Zixuan also slowly stood up and looked down at the baby boy on the bed.

"Your Majesty, the child doesn't have a name yet, please give him a name."

Lu Chen was about to speak when suddenly the system voice sounded in his mind.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining an heir, a Grand Master Literary Sage, and five thousand civil servants as rewards. 】

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

He really guessed it right.

He had been thinking a few months ago that Mu Zixuan and the others were not only carrying his children, but also the talents he wanted. Unexpectedly, the system actually rewarded his civilian talents.

The governance of the Northern Kingdom really needs talents.

In the past few months, Lu Chen had been very busy, doing everything by himself, and he was already a little annoyed.

He was originally a person who liked to enjoy himself, but as a result, he suddenly had so many things to do, and he was very busy every day. His only entertainment was to cultivate a relationship with his woman in the inner courtyard. After a long time, he would get tired of it.

This was good, he suddenly had 5,000 more civil servants. He finally had someone to help him handle government affairs, so he didn't have to do everything himself.

Moreover, the talents rewarded by the system are 100% loyal, so he does not have to worry about intrigues. As for whether there will be intrigues between officials, he is not too worried about this.

The stone that Lu Chen had been hanging in his heart for nearly a year finally fell.

After Lu Chen came back to his senses, he looked at the baby on the bed and said with a smile, "Why don't we call him Lu Ziming."

At this time, Chu Yuqin and other women entered the delivery room. After Lu Chen's treatment, Mu Zixuan had basically recovered and did not need to rest like those women who had given birth.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the baby who was moving around on the bed gradually calmed down, and a smile seemed to appear on his little face.

Seeing this scene, Mu Zixuan smiled and said, "Prince, it seems that Ming'er likes the name you gave him."

Lu Chen raised his hand, gently touched Lu Ziming's little face, and said with a smile, "Ziming, you have helped Daddy a lot."

Seeing this harmonious scene, Yelu Nanyan couldn't help but touch her belly. She also wanted to give birth to a child for Lu Chen, but almost a year had passed, and her belly still had no reaction. She even suspected that she was too old and had no fertility.

Thinking of this, Yelu Nanyan sighed slightly in her heart.

Lu Chen stayed in the delivery room for about an hour. After Mu Zixuan's body and mind were completely recovered, he left the delivery room and went to the study.

Entering the study, Lu Chen opened the system panel again to check where the talents he needed were.

[The Grand Master of Literature has implanted his identity: Zhuge Chongguang, the dean of the Universal Academy. He has received information about you. He is currently in the Dawu Dynasty and will go to Dayue soon. If he needs to go to the North Country immediately, the host can directly convey the order once. ]

[The Five Thousand Civil Officials have implanted their identities: They are now the tutors and students of the Universal Academy. They are currently in the Universal Academy of the Dagan Dynasty. If they need to go to the North Country immediately, the host can directly convey the order once. ]

Seeing the system interface, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

Universal Academy?

As a person who traveled to this world since childhood, Lu Chen had naturally heard of the name of this academy. It is said that the students of this academy have very lofty ideals. Their goal is to achieve universal peace, which makes them in opposition to the general ruling class.

Although the Universal Academy is in Dagan, the royal family of the Dagan Dynasty has always been dissatisfied with the Universal Academy and has always wanted them to leave the Dagan Dynasty. If it were not for the fact that the Universal Academy has a great master, Wensheng, I am afraid that the royal family of the Dagan Dynasty would have used force to disband the Universal Academy long ago.

There are indeed many talents in the Universal Academy, and in recent years they have also participated in politics, but no ruling class of that dynasty likes them, and even if they become officials, they cannot become high-ranking officials.

People who have the idea of ​​"all under heaven are united" are aliens in this world and are impossible to be accepted by the rulers.

If the world is united, how can the power of the ruling class be maintained? Therefore, the status of the Universal Academy in this world has always been embarrassing.

Obviously, there are so many talents in the Universal Academy, but they are not reused, which has also made the popularity of the Universal Academy worse and worse over the years. Not many people are willing to go to the Universal Academy to study.

After entering the Huanyu Academy, the students all had some ideas that were contrary to the ruling class. The ruling class of the major dynasties would never let them become officials, and they would not be reused. It was a waste of time to study.

Thinking back to the Huanyu Academy he knew, Lu Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

The world is in harmony...

This ideal is indeed a bit too advanced, and it is no wonder that the ruling class is unwilling to let the students of the Huanyu Academy become officials.

To be honest, if these students of the Huanyu Academy were not arranged by the system, Lu Chen, as a vassal king of a feudal state, would not want to use these literati who are full of ideas about the world in harmony.

In an era with such low productivity, how can the world be in harmony?

To achieve the world in harmony, it means that the ruling class must give up their own interests and distribute the resources they enjoy to the common people. How can the ruling class enjoy life?

Lu Chen himself is a vested interest, and he is absolutely impossible to promote the idea of ​​the world in harmony.

However, he still needs officials who fight for the interests of the people. Only when officials serve the people, the people of the Northern Kingdom will trust him as the King of the North, and his rule will be more stable.

So this group of people in the Universal Academy is a cancer to other ruling classes, but they are treasures to Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately said to the system: "Issue a call to ask them to move to the Northern Kingdom within half a year."

As Lu Chen finished speaking, the system prompt sounded again.

[The call has been issued, and everyone in the Universal Academy has accepted your order. ]

...

At the same time.

In a restaurant in the Dawu Dynasty.

A mature woman in a purple dress with a beautiful face is sitting at a table, and sitting opposite her is a white-haired old man.

Although the old man's hair and beard are completely white, he looks very energetic and does not look like he is already 150 years old.

The woman said at this time: "Senior Zhuge, since the Dagan Dynasty cannot accommodate you seniors, how about moving the Universal Academy to the Dawu Dynasty?"

"The door of the Dawu Dynasty is always open to the Universal Academy."

Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Zhuge Chongguang smiled slightly and stroked his snow-white beard.

How could Zhuge Chongguang not know what Wu Yunwan was planning? Wu Yunwan was not interested in the Universal Academy. What she really wanted to do was to use the Universal Academy to win over the great master of literature.

Zhuge Chongguang then said: "Thank you for the kindness of the princess. I appreciate it, but the Universal Academy advocates peace. Dawu has been waging wars every year, which is inconsistent with the philosophy of the Universal Academy."

"If Huanyu Academy moves to the Dawu Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be conflicts between the academy students and some people from the Dawu Dynasty due to different ideas."

Seeing that Zhuge Chongguang politely rejected her, Wu Yunwan still refused to give up. She continued: "Senior Zhuge, as far as I know, the current situation of Huanyu Academy is very bad. Recently, it has been spread in the Daqian Dynasty that Huanyu Academy does not abide by etiquette and laws. The system of respecting etiquette has led to disasters from heaven, and the people are demanding the abolition of Huanyu Academy."

"If Huanyu Academy does not move away from the Daqian Dynasty, it will be abolished sooner or later. Why should Senior Zhuge continue to stay in the Daqian Dynasty?"

Hearing these words, Zhuge Chongguang still had a smile on his face. He was about to say something. Suddenly, his mind froze and his whole body was slightly stunned, as if he thought of something important.

Wu Yunwan naturally noticed the change in the expression on Zhuge Zhongguang's face. Wu Yunwan asked tentatively: "Senior Zhuge?"

Zhuge Chongguang came to his senses quickly. He showed a kind smile again, and this time his smile was even bigger. It could be seen that he seemed to have thought of something happy just now.

"Thank you again for the invitation, eldest princess, but I have made up my mind and will not leave the Daqian Dynasty for the time being. As for whether Huanyu Academy will be moved away from the Daqian Dynasty in the future, that is a matter for the future."

Having said this, Zhuge Chongguang stood up directly and continued: "Elder Princess, I am going to the Dayue Dynasty next, so I will not stay in Dawuduo."

Hearing this, Wu Yunwan immediately said: "In that case, I will no longer try to stay, Senior Zhuge, please leave!"

Zhuge Chongguang then turned around and left the restaurant, taking the disciples from Huanyu Academy and heading straight for the Dayue Dynasty.

Looking at the hurried carriage downstairs, Wu Yunwan frowned slightly.

She really wanted to move Huanyu Academy to the Dawu Dynasty for the sake of Zhuge Chongguang, the great master of the literary sage. However, judging from Zhuge Chongguang's appearance, he probably would not come to the Dawu Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan sighed and said: "It seems that Zhuge Chongguang has no interest in Dawu at all."

Hearing Wu Yunwan's words, Wu Yunwan's protector Pei Hong reminded him from behind: "Your Highness, Zhuge Chongguang has broken through to the realm of great master decades ago, and he should not be far from the realm of heaven and man now. , A strong person like him is generally stubborn and not so easy to win over.”

Wu Yunwan said lightly: "Yes."

"Forget it, moving Huanyu Academy to Dawu is not a good thing. If you can't win over them, you can't win over them."

"He just said that he is going to Dayue Dynasty. Judging from his appearance, he probably plans to move Huanyu Academy to Dayue Dynasty. I have a good relationship with Emperor Yue. If Huanyu Academy really moves to Dayue Dynasty, I will still be there in the future. There is a chance to win over him.”

Thinking of this, Wu Yunwan felt a little better.
