Chapter 1301 This grandson of the Great Ming Emperor has been attached to the country since he was a child

"My lord! Slow down, my lord!"

"Stop following, let me be quiet!"

In King Yu's mansion of the capital, a small body was walking in front of it, followed by a group of maids anxiously. One of them was holding a small beaded crown in his hand, and his forehead was sweating.

At this moment, Concubine Li turned around and looked at her precious son: "What's wrong?"

The maid came forward and said softly: "Princess, the son of the world is not willing to wear the crown again, and he will not let the servants follow..."

Concubine Li showed a look of pride and helplessness: "He has had many ideas since he was a child, and it is useless for you to follow behind..."

This child loved to laugh when he was born, he was able to babble in three months, he learned to speak at half a year old, and he was extremely intelligent. It seems that I have encountered troubles and always want to be quiet.

This age should be the most lively and active time, but now she is so mature, which made Concubine Li a little weird, she thought for a while and said: "My son is usually closest to Yang Daban, call him here!"

Soon, a tall and thin eunuch came over and bowed in front of him: "Slave Yang Jinshui, pay my respects to the princess!"

Concubine Li looked at this humble and respectful servant, but her attitude was different from that of other servants: "Get up, the prince needs your care and care, he likes you, the eldest companion, to talk about things outside."

Yang Jinshui's complexion changed immediately, and he hurriedly bowed twice: "The concubine offended the servant, and the son is willing to listen. It is the blessing of the servant's tenth generation of cultivation. The servant never dares to speak nonsense in front of the son, just talk about the humanities in the south of the Yangtze River , regional scenery..."

Concubine Li was born in a poor family, and her education level is not high, but she has a way of dealing with people, and her tone is gentle and authentic: "Don't think too much, I believe in your character, go and accompany your son!"

Yang Jinshui showed emotion, and saluted again: "Thank you, Princess!"

The reason why this former eunuch who was in charge of etiquette and Bingbi was so humble was because Hu Zongxian rectified the situation in the southeast last year, and the huge corruption case of the Weaving Bureau broke out, and he rolled back in despair. It was said that he was going to pretend to be crazy...

However, as the inner minister, Lu Fang did not conflict with Hu Shoufu of the previous dynasty. Instead, he let his godson come to the palace as a servant.

Such an arrangement is not ingenious, and now the ruling and opposition parties can basically see that it is not his personal talent, learning, and stability of temperament that helped King Yu to be crowned the crown prince, but the emperor's grandson who is His Majesty's favorite today.

Yang Jinshui also strives for success, and will soon be able to speak in front of the young prince and become a big companion. This is the layout of the future, and it will even make Yang Jinshui another inner minister who has won the trust of the emperor after Lu Fang.

Only Yang Jinshui knew that his role as a big companion was not stable.

That child is too smart, well-organized, and draws inferences from one instance to another. Although he has just been enlightened, whoever is not full of praise in court and China, his own knowledge can attract the other party in a short period of time, but it will not last long after all.

If you want to gain His Majesty's trust like a godfather, and become the most caring person around you, there is still a long way to go...

Therefore, Yang Jinshui never let go of every opportunity.

From a distance, I saw Xiao Shizi standing by the garden, looking at the beautiful scenery full of flowers, dazed, with a faint confusion on his white and tender face.

When this idea came to mind, Yang Jinshui couldn't help feeling ridiculous.

Why is a three-year-old doll so confused?

It's just that his voice still subconsciously softened: "My lord! My lord!"

Xiao Shizi seemed to have come back to his senses, without looking back, he opened his mouth and said, "My big companion is here, walk with me..."

Yang Jinshui was not surprised, this elder son still had extremely keen senses, no matter how lightly his footsteps were, he would know that it was him, and when he saw him walking forward, he hurriedly followed.

The childish voice continued to sound: "Da Companion, instead of talking about Jiangnan today, let's talk about Jiangxi. How is the disaster there?"

Yang Jinshui said with a smile: "Please rest assured, my son, now that the national treasury is full and the people live in peace, the disaster is no longer as terrible as it used to be..."

Dongying's minerals were mined continuously, and the silk from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau was also shipped overseas. The treasury of Ming Dynasty was finally no longer empty.

This can be seen from the treatment of natural disasters.

On the vast land of Ming Dynasty, there has never been a year without disasters. This year, Jiangxi is the worst. In March, peach blossom floods occurred, and four prefectures and counties were hit by floods. Since summer, seven prefectures have suffered from drought. The governor of Jiangxi So I asked, hoping to exempt these affected areas from taxes this year, and also asked the imperial court to allocate funds to buy 500 million shi of grain in other provinces for relief.

In the past, this is completely a fantasy.

The Guanzhong Earthquake was such a serious disaster that even 500 million shi of grain could not be produced. In the end, under the supervision of Hai Rui, they scraped together things and barely managed an emergency.

But now, the Ming court finally has the confidence to provide disaster relief. Not only did 500 million shi of grain arrive as quickly as possible, but the Ministry of Household Affairs also asked for 200 million silver to increase taxes for the people in several provinces, so that the people in exile can return home. Rural farming.

Speaking of this, Yang Jinshui couldn't help showing admiration.

Hu Zongxian is indeed a minister capable of governing the world. In just a few years, even if there were no earth-shaking changes in Ming Dynasty, the mess of the strict party has been cleaned up in sevens and eights, and the people have a respite. The number of people with money is rapidly decreasing.

What Yang Jinshui admired even more was that Hu Zongxian could still suppress the Ministry of War and prevent him from going out to beat Al Dahan.

Although there are already many generals in the army waiting to make meritorious service, they are dissatisfied with this chief assistant, and many of them are even former generals, but with the full support of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, Hu Zongxian's control over the Ministry of War is as stable as Mount Tai.

In addition, the Alta Khan Department is getting more and more panicked, and recently sent envoys to the court to lower their stance to meet His Majesty, which also made the officials realize the benefits of standing still.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is strong, the Tartars will naturally be in constant fear. The best part is that after the opening of the mutual market, those Mongols will be more and more dependent on the goods from the Central Plains, and they will not be able to return to their previous lives...

For these opinions, Yang Jinshui is like squeezing toothpaste, breaking up with the little prince bit by bit, and trying to use a different tone from those big Confucian courtiers to attract children's attention.

But Xiao Shizi listened calmly and occasionally asked a few words.

For some reason, Yang Jinshui became nervous instead, and his speaking speed became slower and slower, and he became more and more careful about his words.

In the end, Xiao Shizi showed a smile, nodded his head and said: "The people live in peace, my Ming Dynasty has become more and more peaceful, that's great!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Yang Jinshui echoed, secretly dissatisfied with his performance in his heart: "How can you talk about state affairs with a three-year-old doll and still lose your temper? But this little prince is too old, and his pensive gaze when listening to the court situation is even more like a prince's." Where is the prince!"

Just thinking about it, Xiao Shizi yawned and said naively: "I'm sleepy, go take a nap! Call me again before dinner, I'm going to enter the palace tonight, and I'm going to practice with Grandpa Huang!"

Looking at this young prince without any pressure, Yang Jinshui lowered his head deeply: "Yes!"

……

"Father really loves him, he has been recruited into the palace over and over again!"

Hearing that another servant in the palace came to invite the son, King Yu said sourly.

Compared with his own treatment, he was really jealous of this son, who was too favored by Jiajing.

But looking at the object in his hand, King Yu beamed with joy again: "Fortunately, with this son, the lonely position is finally stable!"

King Jing is now a vassal.

Since the death of Prince Zhuang Jing, Jiajing firstly did not continue to establish a crown prince, and secondly, he did not allow the over-age King Jing to become a vassal, so the officials could not help but think about it, thinking that the position of prince is not necessarily ranked according to seniority.

And once such a prince is in the domain and away from the center of the court, the dust will settle, which shows that Jiajing has completely given up on King Jing.

What made King Yu even more gratified was that King Jing couldn't accept this fact, and yelled and cursed wildly in the palace, and even wanted to beat his son after drunk.

I don't know if it was just an act, but after a big fuss, King Jing suddenly collapsed and couldn't afford to get sick, but Jiajing still drove him out of Beijing and sent him to the vassal.

The journey was long and bumpy. If King Jing was really ill, he would not be able to bear it at all. If he did not die, he would die. The big stone in King Yu's heart was completely removed.

The double happiness is that King Jing's Mansion has been evacuated now, and many rare things in it were rewarded to King Yu's Mansion by the palace.

Looking at the long list of gifts sent by the inner court, King Yu's eyes showed fiery colors, and he murmured: "What a treasure! Fourth brother really knows how to enjoy himself!"

Concubine Li saw the worry in her eyes, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lord, King Jing's things may be declined..."

When King Yu heard this, his face sank suddenly: "This is a gift from the emperor. Did you refuse it when your father was granted the title of Marquis?"

"It's my concubine talking too much!"

Concubine Li hurriedly bowed down, her lips trembled slightly, she didn't dare to say any more, and swallowed all the words that followed.

Although King Yu's Mansion is extremely simple compared to King Jing's Mansion, and there is no extravagance and extravagance in life, Concubine Li, who is the bedside person, knows that this prince is just suppressing, not because he doesn't want to.

In history, when King Yu ascended the throne as Emperor Longqing, he immediately changed his cautiousness and became sensual. In order to satisfy his desire, he kept withdrawing huge amounts of silver from the treasury for imperial use. He was repeatedly advised by the cabinet, but he refused to listen.

He not only stretched out his hand in the treasury, but also made great efforts in weaving and dispatched eunuchs to stay in Suzhou and Hangzhou for a long time. Local officials must give regular gifts to these eunuchs.

It is entirely conceivable how ruthless the eunuchs searched. At that time, Jiangnan had not been through the Japanese pirates for a long time and was very tired. I use "indispensable" to reject it, and then ordered Nanjing to weave additional satin, and Suzhou and Hangzhou to weave dragon robes, Zhai clothes, velvet brocade, luan belts, etc.

Jiajing can still wear no more than eight sets of regular clothes for four seasons, at least one outfit. Longqing doesn't even pretend. It is no exaggeration to say that the performance of this successor is really not as good as that of Jiajing in the previous period.

The reason why Emperor Jiaqing had a good reputation in history is mainly because his two predecessors did too much harm to Daming, which is completely based on comparison...

What's more, compared with Jiajing's 45-year reign, Wanli's 48-year reign, and Emperor Longqing's reign of only six years, the time is short and there will be fewer mistakes. Otherwise, if the trend continues, the folks will be wiped out.

Concubine Li naturally doesn't know that this husband will be so virtuous in the future. After his early death, the country will be prosperous and strong. She has contributed a lot to becoming the empress dowager. She is still a side concubine from a poor and humble background, and her mother depends on her son. Naturally, she dare not disobey.

After King Yu reprimanded him, he returned his attention to the gift list, and Concubine Li accompanied her quietly for a while, then quietly withdrew.

Not long after, she appeared in front of Xiao Shizi's bed, looking at the sleeping child with tenderness.

But at this moment, the confidant maid stepped forward lightly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Princess, that matter is settled!"

Concubine Li got up immediately, came to the outside room, and asked indifferently: "How many people are there this time?"

The confidant maid said: "The ten beauties were carefully selected by all parties, and the prince accepted them..."

Concubine Li was not surprised, and sighed lightly: "What should come will come..."

Although King Yu is not yet the prince, he is no different from the crown prince. In addition, in the past two years, Jiajing's health has been deteriorating, so the courtiers' ideas came to him.

Apart from political attachment, there is nothing more than pleasure, especially female sex.

And King Yu is lustful.

Very horny.

The reason why Emperor Longqing in history died so early was that he was planted on female sex.

When he was in Prince Yu's mansion, "Ji Yu was very rare", and when he ascended the throne, he was "full of Ye Ting". In just two and a half years since he ascended the throne, he had sealed thirteen concubines, and countless concubines had concubines.

There is also a record in the very famous unofficial history "Wanli Ye Huo Bian" that Long Qing took some medicine left over from the Jiajing Dynasty, which caused things to get out of control, and he couldn't even go to court...

I don’t know if this is true or not, but each time Emperor Longqing elected more palace officials, there were indeed around 300 people, which is quite a large number. The so-called three thousand in the harem is just an imaginary number. The total number of people is only a few hundred people, and Long Qing accepts 300 people each time, even if not all of them are lucky, it is exaggerated enough.

However, Yu Wang also likes to use drugs, and uses them without restraint.

If you don't die early, you will have ghosts.

Concubine Li is also unable to predict the future, and she is still worried about the issue of children.

Once King Jing left, the future ruler of the world had already been decided. The young son was gifted, intelligent and healthy. If he was always the only heir, King Yu would be the crown prince in the future.

But after all, she is a concubine, so that the child is also a concubine, not to mention that the concubine of King Yu is still young and has given birth to two daughters. Son, is also a threat.

Now that more and more women are flocking to the palace, it will be difficult to maintain the status of the young prince in the future.

After all, for the eldest son, who is so smart and capable, the emperor is often worried, unless there is only one son.

Could it be that...?
But the idea just flashed in her mind, and was given up by Concubine Li.

Even if it's for her own son, she can't do such vicious things...

Just thinking about these messy things, the confidant maid suddenly called out: "Master!"

Concubine Li turned around, and saw Xiao Shizi standing quietly behind at some unknown time: "Mother Concubine, don't worry!"

Sensing her son's concern, Concubine Li showed great joy, and hugged him tightly: "Good boy! Good boy! As long as I have you, my mother and concubine will not worry about anything!"

Xiao Shizi hugged her, felt this mother's love, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded, although he was not completely clear, he also whispered: "Please don't worry, mother and concubine, I will properly persuade father, I hope he I can listen, if not, there is nothing I can do..."
