Chapter 511 Mother and child are safe!

In the eleventh year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, late at night on March 25

In the Liaoyang Dongning Military Governor's Mansion, amidst the painful cries of a woman and the encouraging voice of the midwife, a baby's cry suddenly rang out, and a brand new life came into this world...
Ye Mingsheng, who was pacing anxiously outside the delivery room, heard this voice and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face. Then he turned his head and looked at the door of the delivery room. About half a cup of tea later, Pei Zhixiu opened the door under Ye Mingsheng's gaze and walked out. Feeling the urgency in Ye Mingsheng's eyes, she nodded and said:

"Don't worry, mother and child are safe! It's a boy and the midwife is cleaning the baby!"

After getting a positive answer from Pei Zhixiu, Ye Mingsheng breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally able to put his mind at ease. Looking at Pei Zhixiu, who looked a little tired, Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly and asked with concern:
"How are you?"

Feeling Ye Mingsheng's relationship, Pei Zhixiu felt comforted and shook his head and said:
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest!"

Ye Mingsheng heard this and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Jixiu. It's a relief that you were here today, otherwise there would have been trouble!"

About an hour ago, An Miaoyi, who was sleeping, suddenly found that her amniotic fluid broke. Knowing that An Miaoyi's due date was soon, the midwife and others stayed in the mansion and did not leave. Therefore, the midwife and others rushed over quickly. According to the predetermined plan, An Miaoyi was sent to the delivery room. Just in case, Pei Zhixiu was also woken up in the middle of the night and came over with a medicine box just in case...
Although both Qiu Jing and Pei Zhixiu had said that mother and child were safe before the examination, an accident still happened. During the delivery process, An Miaoyi began to bleed.

When Ye Mingsheng learned that An Miaoyi was bleeding, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. If he remembered correctly, under the current medical conditions, in the event of hemorrhage, there was a high probability that both adults and children would not be able to be saved.

And at this critical moment when everyone didn't know what to do, Pei Zhixiu was very calm. Perhaps as a doctor, she had seen many things like life and death. She entered the delivery room carrying a medicine box to protect An Miaoyi and the fetus in her belly!

Looking back now, it’s a good thing that we had Bae Ji-soo as a backup, otherwise today’s happy event would have turned into a funeral!
In response to Ye Mingsheng's thanks, Pei Zhixiu waved her hand and said with some luck:
"It's nothing. Madam is blessed by fate. The blood loss was not too much and there was no hemorrhage. Otherwise, not to mention me, even gods would have been hard to save her!"

"Okay, I'm going to go back and rest. The baby should be out soon!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded and said:
"Go back and have a good rest! I'll come visit you during the day!"

Not long after Pei Zhixiu left, a midwife came out holding a baby with a happy face and said:
"Congratulations, General Governor. Congratulations, General Governor. The first lady has successfully given birth to a boy..."

As she spoke, the midwife handed over the quilt wrapped around the baby. Seeing the little guy's wrinkled face, the decisive Governor Ye showed a happy smile on his face. He took the quilt carefully, fearing to hurt the little guy inside.

Although he wanted to take a closer look at this little fellow who was connected to his flesh and blood, Ye Mingsheng was still very sensible because of his clumsy hands and feet. He returned the child to the midwife and asked:
"How is Miaoyi now?"

Listening to Ye Mingsheng's question, the midwife said respectfully:

"The eldest lady was very tired and fell asleep after seeing the child!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly when he heard this. After tossing and turning for more than an hour, An Miaoyi must be exhausted. She should sleep for a long time. He should not disturb her now. Let her have a good rest. He immediately instructed the midwife:

"You should take good care of Miaoyi. If Miaoyi wakes up, come and report to me first! You have worked very hard this time. Go to the accounting office to claim your reward tomorrow!"

Hearing that there was a reward to be won, the midwives were all very happy, nodding their heads happily and saying:

"Thank you for the reward, General. I and others will go back and take good care of the Madam. Please don't worry!"

Ye Mingsheng nodded and turned to leave after hearing this. Although he did not participate in it and only came here anxiously outside, he also spent a lot of time in the middle of the night. He was so anxious just now that he didn’t feel tired. Now that he knew that the mother and child were safe, he felt relieved and his body also felt tired. He should go back and have a sleep at this time...
He slept until noon the next day. Feeling the bright sunshine outside, Ye Mingsheng thought he had overslept and got up quickly to see An Miaoyi. However, after getting up, he found out that An Miaoyi was still asleep. So Ye Mingsheng went to Ye Cui's yard in person and told his mother the good news that An Miaoyi had given birth to a child.

It was already very late yesterday, and An Miaoyi's condition was not very good at the time. In order to prevent Ye Cui from worrying, Ye Mingsheng ordered the news to be blocked and did not inform Ye Cui. Now that everything is settled and mother and child are safe, it is natural that he should go and tell Ye Cui the good news in person.

After telling the news to Ye Cui, he accompanied the very happy Ye Cui to see the child. It was at this time that Ye Mingsheng realized a problem under Ye Cui's questioning, a very important problem!

He hasn’t named the child yet...
Realizing this problem, Ye Mingsheng suddenly felt very embarrassed. Ever since he knew An Miaoyi was pregnant, he had been thinking about what name to give the child. He read a lot of classics to find a good name and prepared more than ten names, but he was not satisfied with any of them, so this issue was put on hold.

During this period, Ye Mingsheng was very busy, and because the gender of the child was not known before, An Miaoyi did not mention this matter, so he forgot about it for a while. Now facing Ye Cui's inquiry, he suddenly remembered that the child had been born, but had no name yet.

After being scolded by his mother, and realizing that the matter was imminent, Ye Mingsheng immediately said that he would go back and think about it. However, as soon as he returned to the study and was about to look for a good name in the classics, the housekeeper Ye Cheng suddenly knocked on the door and walked in to report:

"Sir, Lord Murong wants to see you for something!"

Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised to hear that Murong Yuliang had arrived. He thought that Murong Yuliang knew that An Miaoyi had given birth to a child and had come to congratulate him. Although he was a little surprised how he got the news so quickly, he still nodded and asked Ye Cheng to invite Murong Yuliang in.

After a while, Murong Yuliang, led by Ye Cheng, walked into Ye Mingsheng's study. Seeing Murong Yuliang coming, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said without thinking:

“Your news comes pretty quickly…”

Murong Yuliang was startled and a little surprised when he heard Ye Mingsheng's words. He didn't know what the "news" Ye Mingsheng was talking about. Seeing him like this, Ye Mingsheng was also a little surprised and asked: "You didn't get the news that I had a son?"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Yuliang immediately realized that An Miaoyi, who was pregnant, had given birth. He immediately bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said:

"I congratulate the commander-in-chief on the birth of his cub!"

Although Murong Yuliang said so, Ye Mingsheng also understood that Murong Yuliang's arrival was just a coincidence. He smiled and nodded, then asked:

"Master Murong, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Seeing Ye Mingsheng asking this, Murong Yuliang said with a serious face:

"My humble servant's visit to the Lord Commander is related to the war situation in Youyan!"

Listening to Murong Yuliang talking about this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but become curious. What exactly did Murong Yuliang want to say? Murong Yuliang was a civil servant and was assigned to guard Dongning. What could he think of the battle situation in Dongning?

After looking Murong Yuliang up and down, Ye Mingsheng nodded and instructed:

"Lord Murong, please speak your mind. I am all ears!"

After getting Ye Mingsheng's permission, Murong Yuliang said directly without hesitation:
"I heard that Zhao Fuqu gave up the counterattack on Yijing and retreated to the southern part of Youyan..."

Seeing Murong Yuliang talking about this, Ye Mingsheng said without hesitation:
"There is such a thing!"

"I think the reason why Zhao Fuqu did this is not because he really intends to give up Yijing, but because he wants to preserve his strength and unite with Gao Zongchang of Jiyu, Cao Changping of Qilu and others, and use the reason of lips and teeth being in danger to pull these two people into his camp and then counterattack!"

"And in order to recapture Yijing, it is not impossible for Zhao Fuqu to contact the Luobei people on the grassland and attack our army from the north and south!" Under Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Murong Yuliang said firmly:

Looking at Murong Yuliang's solemn promise, Ye Mingsheng's expression gradually became serious. After looking at Murong Yuliang deeply, he asked:
"Master Murong, have you received any news?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Murong Yuliang shook his head and said:
"I haven't received any news. The reason why I made this judgment is that when I was an official in Luoan, I had some contact with Zhao Fuqu and had some understanding of Zhao Fuqu's personality and work style!"

After the secret conversation between Murong father and daughter at home, Murong Yuliang, who had already placed his bets on the Fengwu Army and Ye Mingsheng, decided to tell Ye Mingsheng and give him a warning after realizing that his daughter's judgment was likely to become a reality.

Murong Qingwu did not object to her father’s decision, but she made a request, that is, Murong Yuliang should not mention her, and just say that this was Murong Yuliang’s own judgment...

Glancing at Murong Yuliang again, Ye Mingsheng nodded in response;
"I know about this matter. Thank you for your reminder, Lord Murong. I will make preparations early!"

In fact, some people in the Fengwu Army hold the same view as Murong Yuliang. However, many people also believe that Zhao Fuqu and Gao Zongchang, Cao Changping and others have been at odds for many years. Although there is a reason that the lips and teeth are cold, Gao Zongchang and Cao Changping may not necessarily help Zhao Fuqu at this time.

However, what surprised Ye Mingsheng was that Murong Yuliang mentioned a new possibility in his words that no one else had mentioned, that is, the alliance between Zhao Fuqu and the Luo Bi people. Admittedly, this is indeed a good way to deal with the Fengwu Army, but no one in the Fengwu Army mentioned this. This does not mean that no one has thought of it, but that everyone thinks that this situation will not occur!
After all, Zhao Fuqu had spent most of his life in Youyan fighting against the Luobi people. The two sides had forged countless blood feuds over the past few decades. The number of Luobi people who died at the hands of Zhao Fuqu must have been nearly 100,000. Both sides hated each other so much that they wished to grind each other into ashes. In the face of such deep hatred, it was difficult for the two sides to unite······················

As if sensing that Ye Mingsheng's response was a bit perfunctory, Murong Yuliang continued:
"My Lord, I know Zhao Fuqu. Although Zhao Fuqu is very concerned about his reputation, he is still a scoundrel by nature. Unless he is in a desperate situation, he may still care about his reputation. But in order to counterattack Yijing, he will definitely do everything he can! Contacting the Luobei people is definitely one of his backup plans!"

"And the Luobei people are full of wolfish nature. In the face of interests, the grievances between them and Zhao Fuqu may be temporarily forgotten!"

Seeing Murong Yuliang's affirmation, Ye Mingsheng smiled and said:

"Master Murong, please rest assured! I have taken everything you said to heart!"

Seeing Ye Mingsheng's sincere look, Murong Yuliang felt relieved and reminded Ye Mingsheng that the purpose of his trip had been achieved. However, just as he was about to say goodbye, Ye Mingsheng said leisurely:

"Lord Murong, what do you think of Liaoyang's political affairs?"

Although Ye Mingsheng's voice was calm, his words were like thunder exploding in Murong Yuliang's heart. He knew that Ye Mingsheng would not speak without a purpose, and now that Ye Mingsheng asked him this question, did that mean...
Thinking of this possibility, Murong Yuliang suppressed his inner excitement, pondered for a moment and said:
"After your drastic reforms, Liaoyang is now on the right track. The politics is clear and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. The goal of everyone who tills the land has his own land and everyone who lives has his own house has basically been achieved!"

"I think the next step for Liaoyang is to intensify anti-corruption efforts, strictly rectify corruption at all levels of government, and maintain a clean political environment in Liaoyang. At the same time, we should also deepen reforms to reduce fees and taxes, so that the people can feel the fruits of the reform more effectively and improve their quality of life!"
