"Your Majesty, Madame is about to give birth!" The eunuch Cao Tai hurriedly walked into the study and knelt on the ground.

Guo Shao immediately threw the brush on the imperial case and asked, "Which lady?" ”

At this time, all of Guo Shao's wives and concubines had not yet been titled, so the people in the court were called Mrs. as Mrs., just like the first emperor Chai Rong at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and Fu Jinzhan also served as a wife. Cao Tai replied, "The two, Mrs. Fu and Mrs. Li, are ...... in the Zide Palace."

"I know." Guo Shao stood up, "Prepare the horse." ”

He hurried out of the Jinxiang Palace. The main reason is that the medical technology at this time is very limited, and the woman has to go through the ghost gate for the first time to give birth to a child, and it is easy to die. So Guo Shao thinks this is a big deal.

Guo Shao rode a horse in the palace, and no one else could catch up. However, he still went to the Hall of Grace on the west side of the Long Live Hall first, and hurriedly ran in to get a few gadgets. Two golden men less than the length of a palm, a small gold lock, and a small silver lock, were randomly stuffed into their pockets, and then went out of the courtyard and turned over on the horse.

When he reached the Zide Palace, a eunuch knelt down and said: "The two ladies are inside, Your Majesty is unlucky to enter the delivery room, and please stay for Your Majesty." ”

People are still quite superstitious, and Guo Shao is also suspicious of these things, so he doesn't insist on it at the moment, but says: "Send someone in and tell them that I'll wait outside and let them do their best." ”

"Whoa." The eunuch answered, and sent the palace maid in.

Guo Shao asked again: "Is the imperial sister-in-law inside?" ”

The eunuch replied, "Back to Your Majesty's words, in Madame Fu's room." ”

From time to time, there were women's cries of pain, and Guo Shao was anxiously pacing up and down the corridor, listening to the sound was very terrifying, I was really afraid that they would die.

Gradually, Guo Shao realized that he was too anxious, and from morning to nightfall, several hours had passed since the news of the birth in it. Fu Jinzhan came out to see it once, and the two looked at each other without saying anything.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that I heard a cry, and a palace woman ran out and bowed to Guo Shao, who was sitting on a bench, and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Mrs. Li is happy with the little prince, and the mother and son are all right." ”

Guo Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, turned his head to look at Fu Ermei's room, and went to see Li Yuan'er first. Li Yuan'er's face was pale and sweating profusely, and a woman next to her was holding a baby to show her. She quickly discovered Guo Shao, and said weakly: "Your Majesty ......"

"Yuan'er, you're lying down." Guo Shao walked over and stroked her shoulder, "It's good to be safe." ”

"Your Majesty, look." The palace maid said with a happy face.

Guo Shao turned around and stretched out his hand, and the palace woman handed the baby over. Guo Shao hugged him in the crook of his arm, looked at his face by candlelight, and lifted his swaddling clothes to look at the little chicken...... It feels kind of magical. It was indeed the first time in his life that he had become a father.

At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief, the mother and son were fine, there was no tragedy, and the child did not seem to have any disabilities.

Guo Shao thought of something for a while:

Although he is still very young, everyone will grow old and die, and this country will definitely be handed over to one of the children in the future, and everything he has struggled for and built will be taken over by a descendant; And this man will take everything from him, and take responsibility for everything, for the future of this country and for the hundreds of millions of people. So the heir is very important, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Secondly, even if this child does not take over the throne in the future, he will always be a new life made by Guo Shao, and the child is very fragile, so Guo Shao feels that he has the responsibility to give him protection and growth education. Sense of responsibility accounts for a large part of intuitive feelings.

Another point is that these descendants will hang their portraits, names, and tablets on the wall in the future, and then worship them, sing praises to him for the deeds he has established, and strive to maintain the reputation of their ancestors. That is, there are people who die and people who die, and there are people who take care of the afterlife.

…… As for some people, they may have the illusion that their son is an extension of their life. Guo Shao didn't feel that way at all, he understood that even if it was his biological father and son, his son was still a completely independent person, and maybe his soul personality was still far from the same. In terms of people's self-consciousness, it has nothing to do with it; Consciousness is the key to one's sense of existence in the world. Therefore, treating future generations as a continuation of life may just be a kind of compulsion.

…… Guo Shao took out a golden man from his arms, an armored warrior with a shield, and shook it in front of the child: "Dad gave you something." ”

Then he handed the child to the palace maid, and the palace maid took it carefully. After the palace maid put the golden man on Li Yuan'er's pillow, Guo Shao said: "You help him keep it, and let him play when he is older." ”

The kid was pretty well-behaved, and didn't cry at all. Guo Shao thought that children would cry all day long.

Li Yuan'er said softly: "When he grows up, he will be as brave as Your Majesty." ”

Guo Shao said casually: "I made it myself." ”

Li Yuan'er's expression changed slightly. As the emperor, Guo Shao can make toys for children with his own hands, and he has already expressed his love...... He remembers his grandfather being such a person.

At this moment, someone came in again and whispered in Guo Shao's ear: "Mrs. Fu has just given birth to a prince, and both mother and son are fine." ”

Guo Shao listened and said: "Yuan'er has worked hard, so take a break, I'll go over and take a look." ”

After that, I walked out of the room and was blown by the cold wind in the early morning, and I suddenly felt very wonderful, because two sons were born on the same day...... Fu Ermei's late birth is just a little time, and her son can only be the second child, but hers is a sister-in-law.

Guo Shao reached into his arms, lifted the two small locks, and took out another golden man. It is an armored samurai with a long weapon...... The tail of the long soldier is foot high, and the top is head and connected to the torso, so as to prevent the slender top from accidentally injuring the child. The size is about the same, and it is also the length of more than half a palm, and the carving is quite fine, all of which are made by Guo Shao himself.
