Idle courtiers

Chapter 465 What Are You Swallowing?

The Jiajing family of the Ming Dynasty had always had a hard time offspring, and in his generation he had only one seedling.

In the next generation, only King Yu, King Jing and Princess Jiashan lived to adulthood, which is considered better.

By the third generation, the tragic situation of the Jiajing generation had resumed, and there was only Xiao Wanli.Not to mention men, not even a girl.

The royal family's childbirth is not as good as that of the folks. It is just to continue the incense, and it also involves Datong and Gangchang.To put it simply, if the emperor has no heirs, who should inherit the throne after thousands of years.

If you have no children and grandchildren, the throne will inevitably fall to a branch of the royal family in the future.People are selfish, any can tolerate.

What's more, Jiajing was originally a vassal king who succeeded to the Datong.In order to let his father enter the Taimiao, it also caused a huge political turmoil, so he naturally knows how powerful it is.

The ancients had a short lifespan, and children had a high mortality rate. Children under the age of 16 may die at any time, perhaps from diarrhea or a cold.Little Wanli is only four years old this year, so he is not safe.

Just imagine, if little Wanli dies unfortunately in the future, someone else will be the emperor.When you meet a king who is more ruthless than Jiajing, let alone invite his father into the ancestral hall, maybe even throw Jiajing's tablet out of the Taimiao.

To be honest, Jiajing set a bad example 41 years ago.

Little Wanli Zhu Yijun, as the only heir to the throne in the future, must have a backup to make people feel at ease.

Concubine Li is now pregnant, which is also a happy event for the royal family.

You know, although King Yu had many children back then, none of them lived to adulthood.Later, because of taking elixir, it seemed that there were some problems with fertility, and now I have another child, which is not easy.

This is a happy event for the emperor, King Yu and Concubine Li, and the Ming Dynasty. No wonder the emperor made an exception and sent Chen Ju to reward the palace's property.

However, from the perspective of Xiaowanli, it may not be good.

On the surface, the Ming Dynasty ruled the country with etiquette and law, and the system was strict. Everyone's words and deeds were strictly restricted by etiquette, but it seemed that it was not so simple when it came to the clan.The vassal king is better off, it is normal for the princes to compete for the heir.From the Jianwen period to Yongle, then to Zhengde, King Ning, and finally King Yu and King Jing, in order to fight for the throne, the princes fought against dissidents, tried their best, and even rebelled from time to time.

Xiao Wanli was originally the only heir to the future throne, and his status as the "good grandson" in Jiajing's mouth was unshakable, but now a competitor suddenly emerged, that would be bad luck.

I don't know what this kid will be like?
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan's heart was moved, and he thought to himself: Yu Wang and his son have a deep prejudice against me. In the future, in officialdom, my old Zhou will receive the salary of their old Zhu's family, so I will inevitably be angry with them.Fortunately, King Yu, in the real history, he took pills and ate bad health, and he was obsessed with women. He passed away after only five years in office, and I can always get through it.But Wanli is in some trouble. He is the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty. If he endures it again, maybe I will die first, and he is still alive and kicking, which is bad luck!

No, I can't sit still!
Then what should be done?

Is it possible to give up everything now and go back to the countryside?

Zhou Nan drank a lot of wine today, and felt that his thinking was extremely active and bold: How difficult it is for me to get to where I am today, how can I just give up and give up.Moreover, even if he gave up everything and went back to his hometown in Huai'an, with Wanli's hatred for me, he probably wouldn't let me go.As soon as you enter the officialdom, you get into a car that is speeding forward with no brakes. You must either reach your destination or die?In the real history, after Gao Gong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, retired, Zhang Juzheng used many excuses to make his life worse than death. How could a man be arrested without a fight?

Passive defense is not enough, or take the initiative to attack.

Isn't Concubine Li going to give birth in July next year, why not support the second child of the palace?

Now that I have preliminarily grasped Xu Jie's power, if I form alliances with various forces in the DPRK and China in the future, I may not be able to fight for the future Zhu Laoer.

Then, the next thing I should do most is to take power in the cabinet for Xu Jie.This matter is not urgent, Jiajing still has four years to live, let's wait until then.

Besides, God knows whether the child in Concubine Li's belly is a boy or a girl. I have thought too far... Thinking of this, Zhou Nan laughed. Today is his wedding day, so he can't be in a bad mood because of this. .

Immediately, Mr. Zhou packed up his mood and went out to have a drink with the guests.

It wasn't until late at night, when the guests got up and dispersed, that he entered the bridal chamber under the leadership of the maid.

The new house was very large, and many dragon and phoenix candles were lit inside, illuminating every detail inside, and also making the brocade on Ah Jiu's body shine.

It's strange to say that Ah Jiu, who has always been bold and reckless, sat on the edge of the bed obediently today, and even shrank timidly.

She has been sitting here waiting for Zhou Nan since worshiping heaven and earth for about an hour and a half. It is hard for her to have such patience.

A maid handed Zhou Nan a red sandalwood stick with a copper dragon and phoenix inlaid on the front.

Knowing that he was asked to uncover the bride's hijab, Zhou Nan smiled and picked it up in a chic way: "Miss, you have worked hard."

In front of him was a bright little face, with a little make-up applied and sparkling eyes, it was unexpectedly more mature.

From today, this lively and mischievous little girl became his wife. Zhou Nan was instantly dazzled by this strange beauty, and he felt unreal.

Ah Jiu was scrutinized so carefully by Zhou Nan, she blushed rarely, and buried her head down.

The servant girl next to the husband and wife did not speak for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Master, it's time to drink the wine."

Zhou Nan came to his senses: "Pour the wine."

So Zhou Nan and Ah Jiu had a drink each.

When the ceremony was over, the maid pushed out of the room and closed the door behind her.

As soon as the servant girl walked away, Ah Jiu took off the pile of indistinct jewels on her head and threw them on the ground, then took off her heavy brocade clothes, and said angrily: "I never thought getting married would be so troublesome. It's hot, hot, it's killing me!"

Zhou Nan looked intently, and sure enough, there was a layer of sweat on the little girl's forehead.

She is a person who likes to be active but not to be quiet, and she is extremely healthy, and the floor heating in the bridal chamber is extremely hot.After staying in the house for three hours, Ah Jiu was overwhelmed by the heat.

As soon as Ah Jiu took off his coat, sweat came out of his body, and the clothes were thinly attached to his body, outlining a beautiful line.

Beauty comes first, how to hold it?
Zhou Nan suddenly felt hot, and couldn't help but groan in his throat.

Ah Jiu heard the voice and looked at Zhou Nan curiously: "What are you swallowing?"
