Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 247 Lady Lan is Pregnant

After doing all this, Li Yi waved his hand and the Tang army soldiers brought up the pigs, cattle and sheep for the sacrifice.

Together with him was Senggelinqin.

Li Yi originally wanted to persuade Senggelinqin to surrender.

However, Senggelinqin's attitude was extremely firm. He would rather lose his head than surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this, Li Yi gave up the idea of ​​surrender!

During the memorial service at the Xiaoling Mausoleum, Li Yi brought Senggelinqin with him, intending to behead him in front of the imperial mausoleum as a living sacrifice to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Boom!dong dong!

The sound of sacrificial drums and music continued to sound.

The atmosphere in the air became increasingly solemn and dignified.

Senggelinqin was brought up, and with a flash of a knife, a head was thrown away.

Then it was caught in a wooden basin and presented to Li Yi.

After Li Yi took a quick look, he waved his hand and ordered people to place the head on the altar.

Next, pigs, cows and sheep were slaughtered one by one and placed on the altar.

The sacrificial ceremony continues!

Soon, the whole ceremony ended smoothly, and Li Yi led his men to prepare to leave the Xiaoling Mausoleum.

Walking onto the road, Li Yi discovered a stone tablet beside the road.

There are four big characters written on the stone tablet: "Governance is as good as that of Tang and Song Dynasties."

The moment he saw the stone tablet, memories came to his mind and Li Yi remembered the origin of the stone tablet.

If he remembered correctly, this stone tablet should have been erected by Kangxi when he paid homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum.

After thinking for a while, Li Yi turned to Zhang Tai and said.

"This 'Governance Reached the Tang and Song Dynasties' stele has been ordered to be removed as soon as possible."

"Isn't it ridiculous that there is a stone tablet with the handwriting of the Tartar emperor left in the mausoleum of Emperor Gaozu of the Ming Dynasty?"

Although the Zhilong Tang and Song Stele said good things, Li Yi still believed that it was a humiliation to Zhu Yuanzhang.

You know, Zhu Yuanzhang started his career with the slogan "expel the Tartars and restore China".

But after his death, a Tartar king erected a monument in front of his tomb. Isn't this a blatant disrespect to Zhu?
It is just like now that Emperor Xianfeng has died, Li Yi sent people to erect a stone tablet with the words "Wise and Holy Ruler" in front of his grave.

Is this a compliment?
This is obviously irony, a condescending show-off by the winner to the loser, okay?

The same is true from Kangxi's perspective. No matter how powerful you, the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, are, it was my Qing Dynasty that destroyed your Ming Dynasty, and your posthumous reputation is determined by me.

Are you angry?
I'm so mad at you!
If you have the guts, crawl out of the grave and bite me!
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, he would probably rather have his grave dug up by the Qing Dynasty than accept Kang Mazi's praise.

This is so humiliating!

As for whether removing this stone tablet will have any adverse effects?

Li Yi felt that it was not a big problem. At most, he would erect a stone tablet for Kang Mazi after he reached Beijing in the future!

This is called reciprocity!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tai immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.

Immediately, a group of people left the Xiaoling Mausoleum and headed towards the inner city of Nanjing in a mighty procession.

Li Yi made a circle in the outer city of Nanjing, from the Xiaoling Mausoleum to the Zhengyang Gate, preparing to enter the city from the Zhengyang Gate.

Well, according to the structure of Nanjing’s city wall, Zhengyangmen is the main gate of Nanjing.

As the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi naturally could not enter Nanjing through the side door.

Zhengyangmen is his only choice!

The Tang army soldiers stood along the street near Zhengyang Gate early in the morning, carrying long spears on their backs, with their backs to the street and facing the crowds on both sides of the street, keeping alert.

After these Tang army soldiers stood still, Li Yi led the Tang army generals on horseback and slowly marched towards Zhengyang Gate under the attention of Nanjing people on both sides of the street.

In an instant, the people on both sides of the street bowed down like wheat waves blown by the wind.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the King of Tang!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the King of Tang!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore China!"

"..."

Amid the cheers and congratulations of the people of Nanjing, Li Yi rode his horse into Zhengyang Gate...

……

Capital city, Cining Palace!

On the bed, two figures were embracing each other.

The air was heavy with the scent of heather.

Yi and Concubine Lan hugged each other tightly, enjoying the afterglow of the event.

Yi looked up at the window curtains above his head, and as if possessed by a sage, he couldn't help but think about the meaning of life and the truth of the universe.

However, at this moment, Concubine Lan's delicate voice brought Yi back to his senses.

"Mukuro..."

Yi hummed softly and then asked.

"Xingzhen baby, what's wrong?"

Lady Lan laid her head on Yi's chest, her voice a little apprehensive, and she put her lips close to Yi and whispered.

"I haven't had my period for two months. I'm afraid I'm pregnant."

"But it's not easy to find a doctor to diagnose my pulse."

"I really don't know what to do now..."

Upon hearing this, Yi suddenly became alert. He stared at Concubine Lan's face with burning eyes and asked.

"Xingzhen, are you serious?"

Since Emperor Xianfeng was deposed, Yi's status in the Qing court has greatly increased.

In order to further consolidate his position, Yi's most important thing at the moment is to have a child and prove his fertility to everyone.

However, during this period of time, Yi had taken a lot of tonics, and had taken in many concubines, some of whom were even young women who had given birth, but none of them had any signs of pregnancy. This made Yi begin to feel a little insecure.

He couldn't help but wonder whether it was he or Xianfeng who was ruined.

Now, there is finally good news.

How could Yi not be excited?

Upon hearing this, Concubine Lan still looked a little nervous.

"I haven't had my period for two months, so this must be true."

"But I really don't dare to ask the imperial physician to take my pulse."

Upon hearing this, Yi immediately put on his clothes and began to pace in the hall.

After turning around several times, he finally spoke.

"Xingzhen, you don't have to worry about this matter. Leave it to me to handle it."

"I'll find a doctor to check your pulse. Just rest assured and take care of your baby."

Yi was now so overwhelmed by the joy of Xingzhen's pregnancy that he didn't even bother to think about the consequences of Xingzhen's pregnancy.

Now there was only one thought in his mind, that was that he was going to be a father.

Upon hearing this, Xingzhen nodded vigorously and looked at Yi with even more respect.

In Xingzhen's eyes at this moment, her man Yi is omnipotent.

Soon, just two days later, Yi found a doctor from outside the palace and brought him into the palace under the pretext of treating Borjigit.

Well, in order to facilitate Yi and Concubine Lan’s affair, Borjigit fell ill again recently.

And judging from the situation, they won't be ready in a short time.

With such an excuse, it was completely reasonable for Yi to invite famous doctors from outside the palace into the palace.

Even Xianfeng couldn't say no!

……

The famous doctor invited into the palace by Yi was named Huang Shiren. The name was taken from the meaning of benevolence from generation to generation, which has a very good meaning.

This Huang Shiren was a famous doctor in the capital.

Known as a miracle doctor!

He cured many difficult and complicated diseases of the powerful and influential people in Beijing and enjoyed a high status.

However, Huang Shiren usually charged very high fees for treating patients, so only the rich and powerful could afford to hire him, which made his status even higher.

Of course, no matter how high Huang Shiren's status was, if Yi invited him, he would definitely not be able to refuse.

Huang Shiren followed Yi into the palace.

On the way, Yi spoke to remind Huang Shiren.

"Dr. Huang, when we enter the palace later, just check my pulse and don't ask me anything else."

"Maybe you understand what I mean?"

Huang Shiren heard this and nodded without any hesitation.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have always kept my mouth shut. There are many dignitaries in the capital who have asked me to come to their homes to treat their illnesses. But no matter what the illness is, I will never let a single word out."

Upon hearing this, Yi immediately nodded in agreement.

The reason why he chose Huang Shiren to diagnose Concubine Lan's pulse was not only because Huang Shiren had good medical skills, but also because he was a tight-lipped person.

Under Yi's leadership, Huang Shiren entered the Forbidden City and went all the way to the Cining Palace.

After arriving at the Cining Palace, Huang Shiren followed Yi in after being informed and came to the side hall of the Cining Palace.

There was a step-out bed in the side hall, with curtains drawn to completely block the scene on the bed.

Yi took a few steps forward, came to the bed and whispered.

"The doctor is here. Please hold out your hand."

As Yi finished speaking, an arm stretched out from behind the curtain of the bed.

Her skin is fair, tender and delicate, her fingers are long and beautiful, and there is a silk handkerchief on her wrist.

Yi turned and nodded to Huang Shiren, motioning Huang Shiren to come forward and take Concubine Lan's pulse.

Upon seeing this, Huang Shiren immediately apologized, then walked forward and sat down on the embroidered cushion in front of the bed, then stretched out his hand to start taking the patient's pulse.

Looking at the fair and delicate hand in front of him, Huang Shiren couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

The royal family still knows how to maintain it!

The concubine is so old, but her skin is still as delicate as that of a young girl.

It is truly breathtaking!

Well, up to now, Huang Shiren still thought that Yi asked him to treat Borjigit.

He didn't know that the person who really needed him to feel her pulse was Concubine Lan!

Huang Shiren placed his fingers on the silk handkerchief, then closed his eyes and began to feel it carefully.

After a moment, he couldn't help but gasp.

This pulse is not right!
Why does it feel like a happy pulse...

However, the late emperor had passed away for several years, so how could the concubine diagnose that he was pregnant?

This really shouldn't happen!
Huang Shiren looked doubtful about his life, and then continued to take the patient's pulse.

After a moment, he was sure that he had not made a mistake in diagnosing the patient's pulse.

It is indeed a happy pulse!
I estimate that I am about two months pregnant.

Thinking of this, Huang Shiren began to sweat involuntarily on his forehead.

The emperor had passed away several years earlier, but the concubine was pregnant. This was a royal scandal.

The next moment, the words "murder to silence witnesses" began to appear in Huang Shiren's mind.

Damn it, now that I know about such a royal scandal, is there still a way I can survive?
The expression on Huang Shiren's face became more and more solemn, and he couldn't help but imagine in his mind how he and his entire family would be executed because he knew too much.

His mind raced as he thought about how to survive.
