Chapter 26 Zhang Guifen: Look at the Sword!

Emperor Jiayou had a total of sixteen children in his life.

Among them, only four of the thirteen daughters are still alive.

Two of the three sons have died.

Last year, a talented woman in the palace gave birth to a child named "Zhao Xi", who was raised by Empress Cao herself.

It was also at that time that Emperor Jiayou changed the reign title of "Zhihe" to "Jiayou".

The general idea was to let God bless his children to grow up healthily.

However, Emperor Jiayou was really worried about the death of too many children.

So he planned to let his children grow up a little bit, even if it was inconvenient to practice martial arts, they could strengthen their bodies through some methods of Wei Yuan's military training.

There was even a time when Emperor Jiayou suspected that it was his queen who harmed his children.

In addition to his children, Emperor Jiayou himself felt old and weak, and wanted to practice.

However, in Wei Yuan's view, most of Emperor Jiayou's children died young, which could not be solved by strengthening their bodies.

Therefore, Wei Yuan seriously suspected that Emperor Jiayou might have some genetic disease, which was passed on to his children.

Anyway, it is best not to let Emperor Jiayou's children grow up and practice in the same way as he did in military training. If something goes wrong, it will be too much to bear.

After a pause, Wei Yuan thought for a moment and slowly said:

"Your Majesty, I don't recommend this method for children to practice, because children are at a critical moment of growth. If they often consume physical strength, it may be detrimental to their growth."

"When I was at the border, I heard that the Liao people had a way to make children grow up healthily. One is to eat less greasy food and some supplements, and mainly eat light food."

"The second is to go to a place with beautiful scenery and raise them well. Children raised in this way will be much stronger than ordinary children."

Wei Yuan initially guessed that Song Renzong might have factors that induce genetic diseases, such as high blood pressure, and eating less greasy food can alleviate some of them.

Moreover, he felt that, with Song Renzong's love for his children, there must be something tonic, and he was thinking about his children. In fact, this was not good.

Second, the heavy metal smell in the Bianjing Palace was too strong, and these substances were also unfavorable to the growth of children.

Third, the palace fighting inside and outside the palace, the Taizu lineage of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Taizong lineage were too chaotic.

It would be good to keep the children away from the disputes in the imperial city, send people to take strict care of them, and go to a place with a better environment to breathe more fresh air.

Wei Yuan said these, just fulfilling his duty as a minister. As for whether Emperor Jiayou can keep the child in the end, it depends on God's will.

After all, in "Do You Know", Emperor Jiayou's child died in just a few years.

And Emperor Jiayou was so desperate that his health deteriorated.

When Emperor Jiayou heard what Wei Yuan said, his eyes lit up, and after a little thought, he smiled and said:

"It's getting late. I think you still want to visit your teacher. I won't keep you here. You should go back to Daizhou tomorrow. Otherwise, the imperial censor's memorial will be delivered."

"When I feel like reading that memorial one day, I can't help but write a few comments. I'm afraid you will blame me."

He is always like this, giving people a kind and amiable feeling, but behind this feeling, it seems like a needle hidden in cotton.

Wei Yuan kowtowed quickly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I'll take my leave!"

Emperor Jiayou waved his hand, "Remember the one-year agreement between you and me. At this time next year, I want to see the results of your training with my own eyes."

Wei Yuan stood up and bowed, saying: "Yes!"

Then, he was led by the eunuch and left.

As soon as Wei Yuan left.

Emperor Jiayou went to Empress Cao in person and told her what Wei Yuan said.

Empress Cao was dissatisfied when she heard this: "How can the Liao people's method of raising children be applied to Xi'er? Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."

She had no children.

It would be better for that person to be raised by herself than for someone unfamiliar to ascend the throne in the future.

So, Empress Cao hoped that Zhao Xi could survive and grow up.

Emperor Jiayou said earnestly: "A few years ago, when the Liao Kingdom came to celebrate my birthday, they brought several children. Those children were all strong and healthy. Maybe they were raised using this method."

"We only have this one child, and we must not lose him, so I want to give it a try."

——

Wei Yuan left the palace.

He went straight to the Duke of Ying's mansion.

When you come to Bianjing, you always have to visit your mentor's home.

However, the Duke of Ying's mansion probably has everything, so Wei Yuan only bought some health supplements and the like to visit.

Today, Duke of Ying's Zhang Fu had heard that Wei Yuan had come to the capital and went to see the emperor.

Therefore, he ordered the whole family to wait at home early.

Including his three sons.

In the main hall of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion.

The Duke of Yingguo's wife was dressed in a grand manner. Zhang Fu saw her and said with a smile:

"When I went to the palace to see the emperor and the queen, I didn't see you so solemn. Why do you have to be so solemn when our own disciple came to visit?"

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's the first time for her to meet me, her master's wife, so of course I have to be more solemn."

"It's just so late, why hasn't Yuan'er come out of the palace yet? Did something happen?"

The more important reason why she was dressed in a grand manner was that Zhang Fu intended to marry Zhang Guifen to Wei Yuan.

This was not a master's wife visiting her disciple, but a mother-in-law visiting her son-in-law, so she naturally had to pay attention.

When Zhang Fu heard that she called Wei Yuan "Yuan'er", he smiled and said:

"Please rest assured, Madam, Yuan'er will never let you down."

Mrs. Zhang nodded. Seeing that her three sons were all there, why was her daughter the only one missing?

"Where is Guifen?" asked Madam Zhang.

Zhang Fu said, "Didn't I bring some gifts for Fen'er when I went home this time?"

"In the end, she didn't like anything, but she fell in love with a sword. She played with it all day. I guess she must have rested after playing with it all day, tired?"

Madam Zhang frowned and said, "Didn't you forbid Fen'er to practice martial arts? Why did you let her practice again? How could she not come to such an important occasion? No, I'll ask her to go."

Zhang Fu stopped him and said, "It's the same if you let her come to see Yuan'er tomorrow. Besides, I've been busy with military affairs these days, so how can I have time to discipline her?"

Their three sons were listening carefully to their conversation.

And they had guessed something.

Therefore, they were also looking forward to seeing Wei Yuan.

At this time.

Wei Yuan had just arrived at the gate of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion.

After revealing his identity to the two servants who were still guarding the gate, they immediately said that Duke of Yingguo Zhang Fu had been waiting for him for a long time.

Then he led him to the mansion.

Then, the gate of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion slowly closed.

Wei Yuan had just stepped into the gate of the mansion.

He heard a voice beside his ear, "Is the person coming here Brother Wei?"

Wei Yuan nodded subconsciously and looked towards the source of the voice.

Suddenly he saw a sword coming at him,

"Brother Wei, be careful, watch out for the sword!"
