Chapter 453 The birth of a young son

As the new year approaches, Jingshu’s baby is full term.

On this day, after the family of four had breakfast together, Li Ling went to the morning court, and Brother Xuan and Sister Bao were taken to the study by the palace servants to study.

Just after Jingshu sent her husband and children away, she suddenly felt a little sore in her lower back. Ziyun quickly went to the imperial hospital to call the imperial doctor. As soon as her mother helped Jingshu go to bed, Jingshu felt her lower abdomen suddenly drop, and there was a burst of pain in her belly.

A familiar pain.

Li Ling, who is sitting in court today, is in a very good mood. There have been natural disasters for many years, and the people's harvests have been poor. Most counties in Daqi have been unable to pay taxes in previous years. However, this year has been good, and the money and grain collected is worth the tax revenue of Daqi in the previous six to five years.

Daqi's treasury is now empty, and the huge country has reached the point where it can barely survive. It is in urgent need of money and food turnover, especially last year's Yangtze River water conservancy project. Because Zhao Bi and Zhao Jin conflicted with each other, this expensive project was unfinished.

If the construction and filling are not continued in time, the huge investment in the early stage will be wasted.

Now, due to the good weather this year, the national treasury is abundant, and Daqi also has the strength to cope with this urgent water conservancy.

Li Ling had already anticipated this imminent event, so after the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported this year's tax revenue, Li Ling immediately ordered the rebuilding of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Project in the spring, and appointed Li Xian as the governor of the project, with the rest mainly responsible for the project.

As the official, Li Ling also made arrangements.

Since Li Ling came to power, he changed the gentle and procrastinating style of the previous Emperor Ming. Li Ling worked hard to govern and was diligent in political affairs.

After the morning court, as soon as Li Ling left the Jinluan Palace, Ling Xiao hurriedly greeted him and said with a joyful face: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little Highness."

Li Ling didn't react for a moment. When he had breakfast with his wife early in the morning, Jingshu was still talking and laughing. Only two hours later, she gave birth to his child?

Li Ling looked at Ling Xiao and said in disbelief, "What did you say? But is it true?"

Ling Xiao grinned and said, "How dare you talk nonsense? The good news just came from Jiaofang Palace is that your Majesty has truly given birth to a little prince."

Li Ling finally came to his senses and asked anxiously: "Is your Majesty okay?"

Ling Xiao said: "Both mother and son are safe. Your Majesty, don't worry, my dear."

Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, Li Ling ran all the way back to Jiaofang Hall. Ling Xiao saw this and quickly followed.

Li Ling was a military general, and when he was in a hurry, he could run as fast as flying. However, in a moment, Ling Xiao, who was so tired and panting, could no longer see the shadow of His Majesty the Emperor. Ling Xiao did not dare to relax, so he could only let go and huff.

Panting heavily, he ran towards Jiaofang Hall.

Li Ling hurried back to Jiaofang Palace. All the palace people in the palace knelt down and congratulated Li Ling happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the birth of a prince."

Li Ling didn't care about letting everyone else be disrespectful. He entered the inner hall in twos and twos. He saw his wife leaning on the bed and looking tenderly at the infant son wrapped in swaddling clothes. Li Ling's heart finally calmed down a little.

For fear of disturbing the child, he walked forward slowly, looked at his wife first, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's complex expression. She raised her hand to hold Li Ling's hand and replied with a smile: "Everything is fine with me. I was born very quickly and I didn't suffer much."

Upon hearing this, Li Ling's face showed joy. He leaned over and kissed his wife's forehead deeply, and then looked at the infant son.

"I didn't let your mother suffer. You are such a worry-free child."

This was the first thing Li Ling said to his youngest son.

Jingshu's eyes fell on the child beside her again. She smiled and echoed: "This child is really worry-free. Not only was he born very smoothly, but the wet nurse just fed him. He didn't cry or fuss after feeding, and he was very good.

fell asleep."

As soon as Jingshu finished speaking, the infant yawned long and opened his eyes. He glanced at his parents standing in front of him, chirped, and fell asleep again.

Jingshu was almost infertile when she was killed by the Wang family, but she became pregnant with great difficulty after medical treatment. Therefore, although Li Ling was worried about her first child, she was also very much looking forward to it. However, because Jingshu suffered a serious crime when she gave birth to twins, Li Ling has always had lingering fears.

, he felt sorry for his wife, so

He didn't want his wife to suffer the pain of childbirth anymore. Because of this mentality, when Jingshu was pregnant with this child, Li Ling was only anxious, worried that his wife would have to go through difficulties during childbirth. Therefore, since Jingshu became pregnant with this child, Li Ling was worried

It's not something I'm looking forward to.

Now, seeing his wife giving birth to the child so smoothly, Li Ling fell in love with the youngest son more and more.

Li Ling couldn't help but carefully picked up the infant son and kissed him on his small forehead. The little child slept after it was full and did not disturb his sleep because of the intimacy of the emperor's father. Li Ling's eyes were gentle.

De turned into a puddle of water. He looked at the young child in his arms happily and murmured to himself: "This child is so good!"

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's silly look and joked: "This child was a worry-free child when he was in my womb, but you, the father, only realize how good he is now?"

Li Ling said firmly: "Who says I don't know how good this child is? I've always known it and been looking forward to it."

With that said, Li Ling looked at his wife and told her about the happy events in today's court.

Jingshu replied: "After years of natural disasters, we finally have a good year, but the people have to pay taxes again. I wonder if they will have enough food left to fill their stomachs after paying taxes.

Although Jingshu is a noble lady, she is also aware of the sufferings of the common people. She has always been kind-hearted. Now that she is the mother of the country, she cares about the common people even more.

Li Ling replied: "I know this well. Although the taxes in Daqi are strict, in times like this, the people can still maintain food and clothing after paying the taxes."

Li Ling sighed slightly and said: "The treasury is now empty. If the water conservancy project in the south is not repaired in time, not only will the huge investment in the past be wasted, but if there is a flood in the coming year, the consequences will be even more disastrous. Therefore, this year's money

Taxes must be collected. Once these urgent matters at hand are properly dealt with, I plan to amend the tax law and reduce the taxes levied on the people."

Jing Shu nodded and said: "Only by making the people rich and living a good life can Daqi gradually become rich and powerful."

Li Ling replied: "You are right, but the road is still long. I just feel that there is a long way to go."

Li Ling has only been in power for more than half a year. Now he has eliminated the fierce party disputes that had existed in the previous dynasty for more than ten years, purified the political agenda, gradually eradicated traitors, and firmly established himself on the throne. This is already very remarkable.

Jing Shu encouraged Li Ling and said: "Although the task is heavy and the road is long, I will be with you through thick and thin. We will face it together."

Li Lingjingshu’s youngest son is here!
