Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 351 Resetting the Harem Fertility Strategy
After the palace examination, Zhu Qiyu gave the courtiers a three-day holiday.

Everyone had a good rest for three days, then checked the papers, published the rankings, and selected Shu Jishi and Hanlin Academy to compile and edit.

Different from the previous imperial examinations, Zhu Qiyu also had to select a batch of Zhongshu Scheeren.

According to the current experience, going to the Imperial Academy is obviously not as good as following the emperor's Shushe people.

The Hanlin Academy is a noble yamen, and Zhongshu Sheren is responsible for handling government affairs for the emperor as soon as he comes up.

……

On the morning of March [-], the weather was fine.

Zhu Qiyu got up early and came to take care of his beloved concubine and eldest son.

What made Zhu Qiyu dumbfounded was that as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw that Lin Xiangyu had already gotten up for a walk.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Little princess, is your body so good? You are already alive and kicking in only three days?"

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "It's all due to my husband's compassion, I lay down with a big belly for several months, and now I'm as light as a swallow again, so I don't have to move around quickly.

The slave family has to recover quickly, so that they can compete with the sisters for favor. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, let's fight, fight, she will be pregnant again within three months.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiangyu continued to act coquettishly: "Discuss something with my husband. I don't want to have another child in the past few years. I wonder if my husband can agree?"

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and then nodded very firmly: "If you don't have a baby, don't give birth, my favorite concubine has a big belly all day long, and she can't sleep. Actually, I am also suffering.

Anyway, there is already an eldest son, so there is no need to worry about the rest, just give birth if you want, and forget it if you don't want to. "

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, the other favorite concubines also responded.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, agreeing to everything.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Qiyu continued to add: "You have a total of ten princes, and I can raise them up safely.

Xuanzong has only two sons, so they are living well.

Now our family's throne has been stabilized too fast, and it seems that there is no need to have too many princes.

If dozens of sons were to be born, our family would not be able to support them, nor would the court, nor would the common people.

Forget it, forget it, the concubine is right, let's do birth control. "

Even being an emperor requires a process from youth to maturity.

Many of Zhu Qiyu's thoughts when he first became emperor have changed a lot now.

For example, at the beginning, Zhu Qiyu didn't even intend to change the crown prince, but now his thinking has completely changed.Besides, even if I don't want to change the prince, can so many cronies agree?
Especially the honorable families such as An Guogong, Wudinghou, and Chengshanhou. Everyone put their heads on their waists and followed the emperor to die, not to watch you pass the throne to Zhu Jianshen.

If Zhu Qiyu dared to insist on Zhu Jianshen's succession, after ten years, when his eldest son could succeed, these cronies might really be able to send His Majesty the emperor to ascend the throne.

Besides, just looking at Chenghua in history, the ability is really good.But if you look at the father and son Chenghua and Hongzhi together, it will have a negative effect on Daming.

Chenghua wanted to snatch back fifty from the minister, but Hongzhi dared to give away one hundred.

In the end, when the achievements of Chenghua and Hongzhi were combined, not only did they not get anything back, but they also posted [-].

The reason why the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty lived so aggrieved was that many thunders were buried by Yingzong and Xiaozong.

Xuanzong, Yingzong, Xianzong, and Xiaozong, among the four generations, there are three masters of mine-burying.

Zhu Qiyu felt that it was not too much to take precautions and completely seize this branch of the imperial line.

While Zhu Qiyu was thinking wildly, Qianxue and Suxi also came in from outside.

Seeing Qianxue coming in, the first thing she did was to look at herself sympathetically, and Zhu Qiyu knew it was over.After the favorite concubines got in touch with her, they all became very clingy, and their eyes were always full of love.

Once Qianxue's eyes appeared just now, it meant that trouble was coming.

Sure enough, Qianxue gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "My lord, there are Li Fang and Li Mao, the sons of Princess Lin'an outside, and Mrs. Wei Guogong of the previous generation is asking to see her."

"The son of Princess Lin'an? Mrs. Wei Guogong of the previous generation? Is it Xu Xianzong's widow? What's the use of them seeing me, you just get rid of them for me."

Zhu Qiyu felt a little helpless, being an emperor not only had rights, but also responsibilities and obligations.These innumerable royal relatives and nobles have to serve and take care of them.

The imperial court is the same as the rivers and lakes, not only fighting and killing, but also talking about human relationships.

Qianxue smiled helplessly: "My family also wants to share my husband's worries, but they feel that a little princess of my family is not qualified to speak on behalf of my husband."

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, his complexion changed immediately, and he was about to have an attack.

Qianxue quickly explained: "I'm just joking, they are very sincere, but they just want to see your husband's golden face."

Only then did Zhu Qiyu reluctantly nodded, and first took Qianxue and Suxi to meet the eldest princess of Yongjia.

At this time, Princess Yongjia is still in Prince Qi's mansion, and she will not leave until her son's [-]th birthday.

An old house where a treasure.

Zhu Qiyu is young, how can he know the twists and turns in the homes of various nobles.

Zhu Qiyu just came out to meet the guests after getting a general idea of ​​the family situation of Princess Lin'an and Xu Xianzong, the former Duke of Wei, from the eldest princess of Yongjia.

Mrs. Wei Guogong of the previous generation was a widow after all. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhu Qiyu was accompanied by Concubine Wu, Qianxue, and Suxi, and called Li Fang, Li Mao, and Mrs. Wei Guogong at the same time.

After everyone chatted about the ceremony, they got to the point.

Both Xu Xianzong and Xu Chengzong are great-grandsons of Zhongshan King Xu Da.

Xu Xianzong had no son, and the title fell to his younger brother Xu Chengzong after his death.

Mrs. Xu Xianzong in front of her has no children and has nothing to rely on. She is a widow at home and has nothing to do, which is a bit redundant.Just before that, Duke Qian Mu Bin passed away, leaving only his son Mu Cong who was less than one year old.

Mrs. Xu Xianzong proposed to Zhu Qiyu that she wanted to take Mu Cong, the future Duke of Qian, by her side to raise him.

Zhu Qiyu was a little helpless, the future Duke of Qian would be a favorite.

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Qiyu asked very kindly: "Where does Madam live now? I have ordered my personal guards to go to Yunnan to pick up Mu Cong and bring him up personally.

Does Madam want to bring Mu Cong back to Nanjing, or stay in Beijing to raise him? "

Mrs. Xu replied: "The concubine is now living with my uncle in Duke Dingguo's mansion. If His Majesty permits, the concubine wants to stay in Beijing to raise Mu Cong."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, if Mrs. Xu wanted to take Mu Cong back to Nanjing, she would definitely not agree.

But if Mrs. Xu stayed in Beijing, there was no reason to reject her completely.

Although I don't know what the current customs are like, but Zhu Qiyu has read "A Dream of Red Mansions". Jia's house is an uncle's house, and there is no problem in adopting his niece Lin Daiyu;

Now Mrs. Xu, as her aunt, seems to have no problem raising her nephew.

Since Zhu Qiyu has ordered someone to bring Mu Cong to the capital, and the person closest to Mu Cong in the capital is Mrs. Xu in front of him, there is no reason why he should not be allowed to raise him.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the jade cup and sipped the tea slowly, taking advantage of this time to make his brain work fast.

After turning a few more corners, Zhu Qiyu wanted to understand the deep meaning of this: it is very likely that raising Mu Cong is not just Mrs. Xu's personal wish, but a joint decision of Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong.Is this Wei Guogong's mansion showing favor to him?
