Chapter 16 Excuses
Establishing a descendant does not establish an elder, and establishing an elder does not establish a young.This is the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, even if Wanli is the emperor, he would not dare to wipe it lightly.Whoever dares to change is playing with fire and setting himself on fire.Wanli is not stupid, the queen is doomed not to have a son.How can he surpass the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Changluo, and establish his favorite third son?The origin of the imperial concubine is clearly revealed.

A son is more expensive than a mother, it seems that the emperor really took a lot of thought.Seeing through the current majesty's tricks, Wang Xijue couldn't help feeling angry and worried.He finally understood why Shen Shixing had been making such a face every day for a while. It seemed that he was not pretending to be profound, but he was worried about it.

Wang Xijue sighed, "Your Majesty, you know that there are tigers in the mountains, so you prefer to go to the mountains." Shen Shixing was deeply impressed by this comment.

"The former Concubine Zheng was promoted to the throne, but the Holy Majesty insisted on going her own way. Since Jiang Yinglin was dismissed, there have been more than [-] ministers who have been demoted or exiled. The Holy Heart is willing to offend the public, ignoring the power of the cabinet to manage the government. I thought that the Holy Majesty loved Zheng Guifei wholeheartedly. , but I didn’t expect there to be such a deep meaning!” Wang Xijue sneered sneering while stroking his beard, and mockingly said: “Today, I will confer the title of his mother first, and then I will confer the title of my mother’s baby tomorrow!”

I have to say that Wang Xijue's old eyes are vicious.In one sentence, what Wanli did, including the result, was predicted.Shen Shihang applauded!This old thing, no wonder he has been able to keep pace with himself for so many years, he really is not a simple person.

"The holy majesty's abacus is jingling. But he can deceive all the people in the world, but he can't hide it from the eyes of the court officials. In my opinion, the holy majesty's actions are no different than deceiving oneself and deceiving others."

What Shen Shixing said was exactly what Wang Xijue wanted.After pondering for a moment, "What do you mean?" Wang Xijue, who had figured it out and made a decision, had to look at Shen Shixing's hole card.

Now that we've talked about this, the original purpose of Shen Shixing to recruit Wang Xijue is to let him be a helper.And Shen Shixing firmly believed that Wang Xijue's decision would be the same as his.Facing Wang Xijue's questioning, for the first time in his life, Shen Laohu said that he did not play charades or play tricks.

"Establishing the elders but not the younger ones is orthodoxy and righteousness! Your Majesty should have established the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince, so that the world can be stable!" For this answer, Wang Xijue had already known it in his mind.Nodding in agreement: "It should be so."

"I think that the Zheng family is arrogant and domineering, and it's all right to dominate the harem. If she is allowed to become the queen mother one day, wouldn't this Ming Dynasty let a woman be in the palm of her hand? There is something that keeps me awake at night these days. I can’t eat. You know that Zheng Guotai will be promoted to the fourth-rank commander of the five cities’ soldiers and horses, and the order of appointment has been sent to the cabinet, and it will be issued today!”

"What?" Wang Xijue was really surprised this time.Zheng Guotai is the elder brother of Concubine Zheng, who used to be an idle official in the court.When Zhang Ju was here, he honestly didn't even dare to fart.Zheng Guotai is incompetent and incompetent, a fool.The commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities looked like a small official, just a fourth-rank official, but he was the most powerful official in the imperial city!The 30 imperial forest troops guarding the capital are mobilized by the palm of your hand. With this kind of military power in hand, it only takes one thought to overthrow the rain, and its power is by no means comparable.

Zheng Guotai was supposed to do such an important job?Wang Xijue was shocked.

"The appointment of an official position is nominated by our cabinet and approved by the emperor. Why didn't you mention this matter?" After a short period of shock, Wang Xijue became angry.

"The Sacred Heart is arbitrarily arbitrarily, so I can't be bothered to comment. This appointment was directly ordered by the Holy Majesty, and there is nothing I can do about it."

A few words from Shen Shixing completely ignited the anger in Wang Xijue's heart, "An ignorant woman in a deep boudoir, greedy and greedy, and a fox who deceives the holy heart, that's all. She actually tried to meddle in the state affairs and mess up the court. We are men and women, as the chief assistant of the cabinet. How can you see the Holy Majesty being deceived by this temptress and playing with her hands!"

"What the temptress did was to make her son the crown prince. Hundreds of years later, she was the upright empress dowager. We begged and scratched her for her promotion, and we have become her thorn in the eye. She must be pulled out quickly. If she gains power, we will die without a place to bury him!"

"Then how about we jointly revise a form and recommend the eldest son of the emperor together?" Regarding Wang Xijue's proposal, Shen Shixing laughed three times without saying a word.Wang Xijue suddenly thought of something, and pointed at Shen Shixing, "Could it be that you, you guy, have already been submitted to the memorial?"

Shi Shixing did not deny this, but nodded slowly and emphatically.

"What did the Holy Majesty say?" In the end, Wang Xijue understood it, but he was curious about what reason the Holy Majesty would use to prevaricate.

"The eldest son is young, and it will take time." Is this also a reason?Wang Xijue's face instantly became ugly.

"If the name is not correct, the words will not go well!" Wang Xijue sneered: "It is the ancestral system handed down from the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, there is still me waiting. , how can she let a temptress get what she wants!"

The two looked at each other with a heart and soul and smiled.It can be predicted that above the Ming Dynasty Hall that has just subsided, a big storm with turbulent waves will begin.And the protagonist in this storm is Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor!

Zhu Changluo in the Yonghe Palace is very anxious and troubled, not waiting for me... It is already 15 years in Wanli. According to the history he knows, a few years later, strictly speaking, in the 19th year of Wanli, a mistake finally happened. Shen Shixing, who had experienced countless turmoil, sadly resigned and returned home.

A mere four or five years is fleeting.How to try to change the established history on the day 19 years after Wanli has become Zhu Changluo's top priority.The existence of Shen Shihang is too important to me and to Daming. If I think about it day and night and want to change my fate against the sky, then Shen Shihang is absolutely indispensable!
Waiting to always get is passive, attack is the best defense.After the Yonghe Palace incident, Wanli's attitude towards him remained the same as before, and there was not much change. Zhu Changluo smiled coldly in his heart, and it was impossible to expect this father to take the initiative to give him some sunshine and rain. You get on the road.

Zhu Changluo's biggest feeling when he came to the Ming Dynasty is that there are many red tapes.There are so many rules in the harem, one of which is to wake up in the morning and evening.In short, it is to say hello to the elders in the morning and evening.The emperor wants to say hello to his mother, and the little wives want to say hello to the big wife.By analogy, the children should also say hello to their mothers.

There are many people in this palace who are qualified to be empresses, but there is only one who is qualified to be empresses, and that is the empress.

Don't look at Concubine Zheng with five people and six people, when it comes to the vertical and horizontal six palaces, the powerful queen has to stand aside.But even in terms of being a mother, she can only be a mother, but she cannot be a mother.Even Zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor who she and Wanli regard as a precious golden egg, has to call her mother concubine and queen as mother queen.

The queen doesn't care about Zhu Changxun, just like Zheng Guifei doesn't care about Zhu Changluo.For Zhu Changluo's greeting, Queen Wang was very happy. Seeing Zhu Changluo entering Zhaoyang Palace with small steps under the guard of a group of entourages, her face blossomed with joy.

"Queen Mother, my son is here to greet you, how are you today?" When the little short-legged general knelt down, the queen and queen came up to support him.Huichun picked him up and put him on the dragon and phoenix couch where the queen was sitting.

Empress Wang lovingly rubbed his head, "Little devil, what can be wrong with the queen mother. But your concubine mother, I haven't seen her for some time, is she in better health?"

Concubine Gong said she had been ill for some time, but she was not ill.Calling sick is just an excuse.After the Yonghe Palace incident, although Concubine Zheng was disgraced and disgraced, Wanli doubled her favor in order to appease her concubine.

However, the situation between Concubine Gong and Concubine Zheng is already at the same level, and there is no possibility of easing up.In this case, if Concubine Gong had a fault or shortcoming that fell into the hands of Concubine Zheng, one can imagine what would happen.So Zhu Changluo made an idea for Concubine Gong, we can afford to hide if we can't be provoked, and close the door to recuperate!It's okay if we don't see anyone, it's okay if you don't go out, let Concubine Zheng open her mouth to bite the air, she won't be able to use her strength!
The son is young, but he has the right idea.Concubine Gong felt that what her son said was reasonable, so she listened to Zhu Changluo's suggestion and went to the sick report book.Wanli wished he would never see her again, so he immediately agreed to play.

Zhu Changluo went to beg the queen again, and the queen also issued a decree to tell the concubines in the inner palace that no one should go to disturb the concubine Gong's recuperation, and those who violated it will be severely punished.This move directly turned Zheng Guifei, who was suffocating and trying to find fault, to her knees, she had no choice but to let it go for the time being, and wait for the future to settle the score.

The mother and son said a few homely words, Zhu Changluo rolled his eyes a few times, and went straight to the point. "Queen mother, I have something to ask you for." At this moment, Queen Wang treats him like a treasure, and if the treasure asks for something, how can she not agree.

"Little ghost, if you have something to say to the queen mother, it's okay to say it directly. There is nothing we mothers can't say." Zhu Changluo's not being moved is a lie. No matter what, Queen Wang is sincerely kind to herself.

"Empress, son-in-law is six years old this year, son-in-law doesn't want to waste time, if he doesn't study, he will be unreasonable. When he grows up, he will not be able to help mother mother share her worries."

Zhu Changluo in history was only allowed to study in the 22nd year of Wanli, and at that time, he was already 12 years old. What is the concept of 12 years old?His father, Wanli, ascended the throne at the age of nine, married his wife at the age of 14, but raised his own son like a fool for 12 years!

In fact, Zhu Changluo, who does not read books, is very disdainful. The knowledge learned by force-feeding in the previous life has not been dropped much because of time travel. Compared with these Confucianism and Mencius, Zhu Changluo has hundreds of years more knowledge than contemporary people. Looking down on the light of all living beings on the shoulders of giants, he leisurely has a sense of transcendence.

In fact, Zhu Changluo still has a very bachelor idea: We want to be the emperor, there is no need to learn stereotyped essays, ancient poetry and so on... Just leave those things to the champions.

Reading is an excuse, and Zhu Changluo's real purpose is to use this reason to go out.Let all the officials in the court see that the eldest son of the emperor they are about to support and follow is not as weak, incompetent, and useless as they imagined.If this can be achieved, why not attract the attention of Shenshihang.
