Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 143 Siblings discuss each other (Part [-])
"It's true that the concubine's mother and son are well-off, but the emperor has done his best to her family. Thinking about how many people in the capital coveted his family's main house in dozens of mansions in the capital, the governor of Lu Dadu has been favored for decades. Didn’t it still be given to her family in the end?” The young man sighed, and said: “Poor our old man, he is getting old, and finally his son-in-law became the emperor, and after repeated begging, he only got the dilapidated house that Sun Gang used to have. "

Concubine Li Gui was displeased when she heard the words: "The house is always a bit old, but didn't the sage return the money for the repairs?"

"Sister, what you said is not authentic." The young man raised his eyebrows and said: "That house was still owned by Guo Xun, who was attached to Sun Gang's party, and was confiscated in Jiajing 20 years ago. It's almost 30 years! To silver? Yes , I gave you money, but how much did you give? 100 taels, my good sister, what is 100 taels enough to do in Beijing? It’s so great that it won’t leak the wind and rain.”

Concubine Li's face sank: "Sanlang, in the first year of Longqing, the Holy Majesty had just succeeded to the throne, and the inner treasury was so poor that he was about to sell the Huangzhuang. Money! But just like this, His Majesty still gave our family a house at a loss! In the second year of Longqing, the internal treasury was relieved a little, and he immediately gave our family another [-] hectares of fertile land!"

The young man didn't dare to protest openly, he just muttered: "First, the original spouse's family chooses, and then the queen's family chooses again, that's all, but it turns out that the uncle's family chooses next, and finally it's our turn..." Then he hummed again Haw: "As for the [-] hectares of land in the second year of Longqing, isn't that because you gave birth to a son again, sister?"

Concubine Li Gui said angrily: "Li Wenjin! If you talk like that again, don't come to see my sister in the future!"

"Okay, okay, sister, can't you make a mistake?" Li Wenjin begged for mercy with a bitter face: "I am already like this, what else can I think about besides money? Besides, I can't keep anything The things, in the end, aren’t our family’s own?”

"You!" Li Guifei glared at him, but couldn't continue, and finally sighed after a long while: "I know it's not easy for you, but the emperor is the emperor of the world, not just your brother-in-law, you have to be careful about this at all times." Always remind yourself to remember. In the future...I mean in the future, even if the ancestors bless Jun'er to successfully inherit the great rule, it will be the same: he must be the emperor of the world first, and then your nephew."

Li Wenjin twitched his lips secretly, but nodded repeatedly on his face, indicating that he knew.

He knew his elder sister very well, as long as he mentioned his current situation, his elder sister would not be able to harden his heart and really do something to him.

What's his situation?If you really want to clarify the whole story, it’s a bit long story, but the long story is short: Because Concubine Li Gui was born in a humble background, she was only a maid in Prince Yu’s mansion. She was still young, and she had a good relationship with the emperor, and the death rate of Longqing's other children was too high, so Li Guifei's position at that time was not particularly stable.

At this time, Li Wenjin, as the younger brother of Concubine Li Gui, voluntarily underwent the castration and entered the palace to take care of her sister who was constantly pregnant and giving birth to the eunuch.Women are sensitive and easily moved during pregnancy and postpartum, so they are not only grateful to this brother, but also very guilty, always feeling that they owe him a lot. [Wufeng Note: The fact that Li Wenjin entered the palace as an eunuch during the Longqing period is not a fabrication, but a historical fact. ]
In fact, Li Guifei did not know that Li Wen's entry into the palace was approved by her father Li Wei, and she could guess the reason: to ensure that she was the most fertile woman around the emperor, and to ensure the safety and health of her son Zhu Yijun!

But even if he knows, can he not accept this love?She is also afraid. Doesn't she have the status she has today because she is the most able to give birth?Could it be that Zhu Yijun is the eldest son of the emperor, the crown prince?
It is not a heinous crime to be a brother and sister, but with such a friendship, how could Concubine Li Gui really look down on this younger brother?

However, although Long Qing talked about family affection, he did not dare to disobey the ancestral precepts, so it was impossible for Li Wenjin to be Zhu Yijun's companion, otherwise, if Li Wenjin had selfish motives in the future, he would be worse than Liu Jin.Therefore, Feng Bao was able to become Zhu Yijun's great companion as the number one favored eunuch beside Li Guifei - he also had an important responsibility, which was to be responsible for Zhu Yijun's safety and health.

At this moment, seeing that his sister stopped talking, Li Wenjin continued: "Sister, did you hear anything from what the emperor said today?"

"What?" Concubine Li Gui asked, "You want to ask the emperor if the dragon body is healthy?"

"That's not true." Li Wenjin shook his head: "Although I am in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, how dare I not pay attention to what happens in the palace? What's more, it is related to the health of the emperor's dragon body. However, I wonder It's the same...Although the emperor has never been physically strong, he doesn't see anything wrong now, so why did he suddenly mention such... ominous things?"

Concubine Li Gui didn't speak, and she also felt that the matter was a bit paradoxical, but because of her status, she couldn't say some things.

Li Wenjin continued: "Unless...the emperor thinks that the ancestors of all generations don't live too long..."

"Shut up!" Concubine Li Gui whispered softly.

But Li Wenjin waved his hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I've already asked Feng Bao to dismiss all the idlers around, and what our siblings are saying now won't be heard."

Concubine Li Gui was a little relieved, but what the younger brother said just now made her feel nervous.

In fact, most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not live to be 40 years old.Many people think that indulgence is one of the reasons, but if you look carefully, you will find that this matter is not an absolute factor.

Throughout the history of Ming Dynasty, the emperor who died the earliest was Tianqi, who was only 24 years old when he died. However, this emperor did not have much interest in sex. He has always been known as the "Carpenter Emperor" in later generations.

What's more, Hongzhi, the "most dedicated emperor" in history, who has no other women except a queen, also only lived to be in his 30s.

On the other hand, people who lived longer, such as Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Shizong Jiajing, and even Wanli in the future, are not less interested in female sex than those emperors who died earlier, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. In the past few years, many small lives were created.

Of course, it is impossible for Concubine Li Gui to know how long her son will live in the future, let alone the apocalypse, but as long as she compares the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty before, she already feels that her brother's words may have some truth.

However, she didn't dare to think too much about this issue: whether Long Qing was a good emperor or not, she didn't particularly care about it, and couldn't control it.But in her heart, Long Qing was considered a good husband—at least among all the emperors in all dynasties, he was considered a good husband.

Does the emperor really have such worries?Then what he said...

Li Wenjin lowered his sharp voice as much as possible, and said, "Maybe the emperor is hinting to my sister that in the future... who can I rely on?"
