Rule over Ming Dynasty
Chapter 397 I finally want to take a gamble!
There was only a waning moon in the night sky.
The lights in many places in the Forbidden City are still on, especially the Jinwu Guards on the Imperial City are still patrolling, but the palace area seems to have fallen into a deep sleep.
The person who came to bed tonight was Queen Chang, a beautiful woman full of nobility.
She was originally a descendant of the founding hero, but now she has been in the position of queen for three years. With her quiet temperament and natural nobility, she is definitely the most qualified queen.
But no matter how noble a woman is, once she comes to this dragon bed, she will become someone's plaything, and she will inevitably beg for mercy again and again in the end.
Although Zhu Youtang now has many stunning beauties in the world, and will only have more and more in the future, he always feels the most accomplished when he conquers this Queen Chang who is a bit like an iceberg beauty.
After a storm, the surroundings seemed very quiet.
In fact, tranquility is destined to be an appearance. The female official in charge of history books is writing about the harmony between emperors and empresses, while a eunuch in the clerk's office is recording the time through an hourglass.
But no one dared to make a sound, just doing their own thing silently.
The flames of the candlesticks were burning, making the whole room light and warm.
Zhu Youtang is different from many emperors who go to bed immediately after finishing their work, but he likes to hold his woman and talk some private words together. Nowadays, there are often no secrets on the dragon bed.
Women all need to talk, and women in deep palaces are even more so.
Empress Chang was not as aloof as usual, but at this moment she was nestling on Zhu Youtang's chest like a bird.Since the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother have delegated power, she now has full authority to manage the harem, so she naturally knows some things.
Today, Zhu Youtang publicly stated in Fengtian Palace that he would not adopt an heir. In fact, the palace was not peaceful, and there was even tea cup smashing in Qingning Palace.
If there is anyone in the entire palace who is most willing to see the throne change, it is probably the Empress Dowager.
She was originally a noble concubine, and because her mother was more valuable than her son, she was lucky enough to sit in the position of Queen Mother.It's just that her identity is not as good as the Queen Mother Qian. She originally controlled Zhu Youtang, but who wants to raise a rebellious boy.
If King Xing succeeds in replacing Zhu Youtang, she will have nothing to lose at all.After all, both of them are her biological grandsons, so they will not affect her status at all, and her status will only become more stable.
It's just that there is a difference between closeness and distance. Her relationship with King Xing Zhu Youqi is still not close enough. What makes her most affectionate now is that she often writes letters to her son King Chong.
When it was reported that Zhu Youtang was interested in finding an heir from the clan, her mind immediately became active, but she was preparing to make King Chong's just five-year-old son the prince.
Although this generation is actually a bit chaotic, heirs should also be found from recent branches, and the lineage of his son King Chong is the most suitable.
If his plan goes well, not only will another grandson be able to inherit the throne, but his son will also have the opportunity to return to the capital to meet him.
Originally, the Empress Dowager Zhou had already started working on this matter, but today, when Zhu Youtang made a public statement in the Fengtian Palace, her best wishes were instantly dashed.
She hated Zhu Youtang for his sudden change of heart, and she also hated Lu Zhengzheng for ruining her good deeds, so she suddenly made such a gaffe in Qingning Palace.
As for the concubine Zhang Yujiao of Chengxi Palace, she was extremely happy today and had already started planning to buy a new golden panties.
Through Queen Chang, Zhu Youtang understood every detail of the palace. The palace was like a small society, full of all kinds of entanglements.
When talking about Jiang Wei, Zhu Youtang seemed very candid and said with a wry smile: "Where is the golden phoenix? I actually made it all up!"
"Why is Your Majesty like this?" Chang Yourong didn't realize at all that he had completely exposed his strength. He stood up and looked into Zhu Youtang's eyes in surprise.
Zhu Youtang glanced at the fullness calmly, but said with a calm mind: "Now is no longer what it was back then. Everyone no longer mistakenly thinks that I am a stupid prince. It has long been difficult to distinguish who is a human and a ghost!"
No matter which dynasty, officials are the elite of the era, each one is like a chameleon.It will always be difficult for you to distinguish between their loyalties and traitors, or they may not even know that they are traitors.
But one thing is absolutely certain: during their official tenure, what they consider most is their own status and power.
Take the famous minister Xu Jie as an example.He could not only obey Yan Song's orders, but also destroy Yan Song's family; he could not only help Jiajing rebuild the Wanshou Palace, but also persuade Longqing to destroy the Xiyuan buildings; he could not only put the people first in everything, but also solve the financial customization direction. The people were taxed for three more years.
Now that he is in great power, more and more important ministers are looking down upon him. For example, Li Dongyang, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who has returned from observing his filial piety, dare not even look directly at him.
It's just that history has already proven that officials who were blocking your arrows one second can kill you without blinking for the sake of greater power the next.
Zhu Youtang is now directing this film not only for his own "mysteries of heaven will be solved by himself", but also because he wants to see how many people are on the side of King Xing.
"Your Majesty deliberately claimed that Jiang Wei was the reincarnation of the Golden Phoenix. Is this actually a test of the courtiers?" Queen Chang tilted her neck and looked at Zhu Youtang, seeming to understand.
Zhu Youtang hugged the beauty beside him slightly and nodded gently: "Yes, King Xing is the new master they want to support, and the reincarnation of Jinfeng is my touchstone!"
"Your Majesty has the support of so many ministers now, will they take action?" Queen Chang asked worriedly when she learned that the man in front of her was planning.
The corners of Zhu Youtang's mouth raised slightly, and a gleam of wisdom flashed through his eyes: "Prince Xing was just in love, and he personally picked Jiang Wei, and she is indeed quite pretty! Even though Prince Xing looked very well-behaved, the late Emperor He died young, and now that I am the emperor, he studies hard and has no bad deeds as a young man. This is a problem in itself. It’s just that no matter how well he hides it, after all, the young man’s character will definitely not suffer this injustice. This time, as long as King Xing speaks , those people will definitely be furious, not to mention those people don’t dare to let me accept Jinfeng as my concubine!"
In fact, this is a double test. It is not only to test whether King Xing has the energy to refuse to admit defeat, but also to test the potential supporters behind King Xing.
Especially for the latter, even if the prince-in-law Wang Zeng was kicked out by him, he always felt that the momentum still existed, and the Marquis of Xiangcheng's money harvesting through grain harvesting was probably driven by the forces behind it.
As for the rumors of Jinfeng's reincarnation, they are also deliberately poking at their weakness.
The fact that they have no heirs can be said to be their best hope for a comeback. They want to cut off the possibility of changing their fate against fate, so they will naturally do everything possible to prevent them from accepting Jinfeng as their concubine.
Just like this, they will definitely connect quickly tonight, and tomorrow they will probably stand firmly on King Xing's side, and even help King Xing reach a marriage contract with the Jiang family.
"Your Majesty, you have even planned this, you... are not a gentleman!" Queen Chang said with a bit of a smile when she heard the conspiracy and conspiracy in this matter, which was so exquisitely designed.
Zhu Youtang turned over and pushed Chang Yourong down, but held her hands down and said: "Emperor, who is a gentleman, so you can't be too kind!"
"Your Majesty must be a talented and strategic king, and I will also be a virtuous queen, but..." Queen Chang naturally wanted to cooperate with Zhu Youtang, but a touch of sadness flashed in her bright eyes.
Zhu Youtang looked at this charming and noble queen and saw through it at a glance: "Queen, are you still entangled in the matter of my heir?"
"Well, I really don't want His Majesty to have an heir. As long as I can stay with Your Majesty, I'll be satisfied!" Empress Chang met Zhu Youtang's gaze and said with tears in her eyes.
Zhu Youtang let go of Chang Yourong's hand and immediately grabbed it towards the largest mountain: "In that case, stop thinking about begging for mercy and work hard tonight!" Chang Yourong nodded silently, but It was left to Zhu Youtang to fiddle with.
Meow!Meow!Meow!
There were already more cats in Qianqing Palace. Three tabby cats stood on the white marble pillars in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace, and they all meowed together as if they heard something.
The waning moon hung high in the sky, destined to be another restless night.
As Zhu Youtang had guessed, because Jinfeng's matter was of great importance, all parties had begun to take action, but they wanted to get ahead of Zhu Youtang.
It would be okay if the other facts were true, but Jin Feng was involved.
It's not that they haven't considered this as a trap, but Jiang Wei has the endorsement of Dongfang Dao, and many people believe that King Xing will ascend to the throne, so Jiang Wei is the reincarnation of the golden phoenix.
Because of this, Jinfeng must not be sent to the palace. The best thing to do is for King Xing to successfully hire him as planned, so that Zhu Youtang can be prevented from "stealing his wife."
In fact, the operation of the matter is not complicated. As long as Prince Xing's palace dares to send the betrothal gift, and the Jiang family dares to accept the betrothal gift, then the matter can be concluded.
"What did the man in the palace say?"
"That's it!"
Li Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, walked into a house wearing a black robe. After meeting a mysterious man, he got a satisfactory result.
After Zhu Youtang stopped him from making profits by inflating rice prices, he had already become sworn in with Zhu Youtang, and now he has become a member of the Justice League against the tyrant.
The next morning, the sun rose as usual.
To the east of the city, Jiang Mansion, this is a relatively ordinary house.
The capital city is a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. Although many families have fallen into decline, if we trace back to our ancestors, they often have a glorious history.
The ancestor of the Jiang family is Jiang Ziwen, King Qin Guang of the first palace of Yama in the Ten Palaces of the Underworld.
It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, there was a military general from Soochow, Jiang Ziwen, who was addicted to wine and lust. However, he believed that his bones were strange and he would become a god after his death. As a result, he was indeed regarded as a god by the people.
Of course, this is all a legend, and Jiang is also suspected of putting money on his own face.
The current head of the Jiang family is Jiang Bin. The great-grandfather Jiang Wang moved to the capital to direct the affairs of the capital due to his meritorious service. The great-grandfather Jiang Yan, the ancestor Jiang Mingshan, and the father Jiang Xing all inherited their official positions.
Now Jiang Bin is one of the commander-in-chief of the Twelve Battalions of the Beijing Camp. Today, the clan lives in the capital, and many of the clan’s descendants also serve in the Beijing Camp.
But this place suddenly became the center of the incident, because Jiang Bin's niece Jiang Wei was rumored to be the reincarnation of the Golden Phoenix, and she also gained the favor of Prince Xing's Palace and the Queen Mother.
In fact, the first person to come into contact was naturally Prince Xing's Mansion. In order to push Jiang Wei to the position of Princess Xing, they secretly used a lot of efforts.
But when he realized his long-cherished wish, he didn't expect that the emperor wanted to consolidate the Sixth Palace because he had no heirs.Knowing that Jiang Concubine was the reincarnation of the Golden Phoenix, the Queen Mother even intended to make Jiang Concubine her concubine.
Just this morning, the Queen Mother sent an edict.
The purpose of summoning Mrs. Jiang to bring her daughter Jiang Wei into the palace is self-evident. Naturally, it was to formally finalize Jiang Wei's entry into the palace as a concubine.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Jiang Jiao was already panicking and asked for help from his brother.
After all, Jiang Bin was the senior general of the Beijing camp, but he made arrangements and said: "You must go when the Queen Mother calls you! You ask your younger brothers and sisters to bring your concubine into the palace, but remember not to make any promises, and you must explain that you are talking to Prince Xing about getting married. Talk about getting married!"
Although they cannot directly resist the decree, they can still clearly state their position, and the matter will probably be concluded today.
"Okay!" Jiang Jie was accustomed to obeying his brother's words and said solemnly.
Just as Jiang's mother was preparing to enter the palace with Jiang Wei, a sound of playing and beating came from the street, which immediately attracted a large number of people to watch.
"What's going on?"
"Prince Xing's Mansion is going to issue a letter of appointment to the Jiang family!"
"Ah? Isn't Prince Xing's marriage already in trouble?"
"If the Jiang family accepts the engagement letter, the emperor cannot stop the marriage!"
……
The people who were watching were extremely shocked when they saw the rich betrothal gifts carried by the team and the whole story.
The three books and six rites are one of the highest etiquette laws in their country of etiquette. Once the woman accepts the betrothal gift, the two parties will enter into a marriage contract.Even the emperor can no longer interfere.
If the emperor commits the act of robbing a bride, especially his own sister-in-law, this incident will be a lifelong stain and may even be spurned by the world.
"Brother, what should we do now?" After Jiang Jie heard the noise outside, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Bin with a look of confusion.
Jiang Bin looked at the team that had appeared at the door, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "What else can we do! We, the Jiang family, will naturally hold on to the wealth we have obtained now!"
Although his military position was not high, he didn't know the current situation, especially that this marriage did not come suddenly, but had been secretly promoted a few months ago.
As his niece might become Princess Xing, he naturally had to predict the future of Prince Xing.
King Xing is the younger brother of the current emperor, and he is not expected to have any chance of being crowned emperor. However, everyone in the capital knows the secret of the Eastern gods that "the emperor's heir will be robbed, and Zhang will be like a new one".
If the emperor insists on supporting Empress Chang, then the emperor will have no heirs.Although the emperor had already entertained the idea of having an heir, he faced the legal principle of filial piety and publicly stated his position in the Fengtian Palace yesterday, so he had to hand over the throne to Prince Xing in the end.
Although the Queen Mother also likes Jiang Wei, how can a small concubine compare with Princess Xing?
"Okay!" Although Jiang Ao felt a little uneasy, he still gritted his teeth and nodded. (End of chapter)
