Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Chapter 69 Aftermath 1

West Road outside the inner court, Xianxi Palace.

Concubine Shao was in a hurry to dress her two sons. Although her children were still young, she would send them to Wenhua Palace to study every day.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, taught that when a prince is granted a title, he who belongs to the country of the future should go out to study. Emperor Chenghua paid great attention to the education of the emperor's children, so he arranged for the two sons born to Concubine Shao to go out to study early.

Mother, the emperor doesn't want to go to class!

Yeah, it's not fun to go to class there!

King Xing Zhu Youyi and King Qi Zhu Youbo had already changed their clothes, but they showed the playful nature of children and showed their disgust with learning as they begged.

Concubine Shao was a virtuous woman with a fierce temper, but she hoped that her two sons could study and become talents. She immediately urged her with a stern face: You two, hurry up and go out. If you continue to dawdle, be careful of my mother spanking you!

King Xing Zhu Youqi and King Qi Zhu Youbo immediately stretched out their hands to protect their buttocks. They seemed to still remember this, so they had no choice but to turn around and prepare to go out.

It's not good! It's not good! Eunuch Li Fang hurriedly walked in from the outside, looking very panicked.

Concubine Shao was about to push her two sons because they were walking too slowly. She was dissatisfied with Li Fang who ran in in a hurry and said, Why are you so panicked?

I just learned that Eunuch Huai'en was arrested, so I went over to inquire about the specific news! Who knew that it was the ministers who forced your majesty to abdicate the throne in favor of King Xing? Now your majesty and the courtiers have been arguing about seizing the door. Your majesty just came to court early in the morning. They are coming towards Xianxi Palace! Concubine, why don't you take Prince Xing and Prince Qi and run away quickly? Li Fang suggested in a panic after hearing the situation report just now.

escape? This is the palace, where else can we escape?

Concubine Shao's mouth trembled, and she immediately collapsed to the ground in fear, her whole body was in a state of confusion.

She was not completely unconcerned about the throne, after all, her son was only the second in line to the throne.

If anything happens to Zhu Youtang, the throne will be inherited by his eldest son. Not only will he not have to experience the pain of separation between mother and son, but he will also be able to take charge of the harem like the Empress Dowager Zhou.

But since Zhu Youtang boarded Dabao, she saw that Zhu Youtang was a healthy young man, but she slowly gave up the idea.

But he never expected that although he no longer had this idea, those officials would still refuse to let go of his son.

Although it is not clear why the ministers want to support their eldest son, Zhu Youtang is now coming to his side early in the morning. This is undoubtedly to raise an army to investigate the crime, and may even kill his own son to avoid future troubles.

Son, your life is so miserable! Concubine Shao felt sad for a moment, and she hugged Prince Xing Zhu Youqi and cried bitterly.

Woo!

King Zhu Youbei of Qi was the youngest. He was originally sad because he was kicked out to study. But now when he saw his mother crying, he started crying for no apparent reason.

Wow……

King Xing Zhu Youtang always thought that Zhu Youtang was a kind brother, but when he saw that his mother and concubine were frightened and cried just when they heard that Zhu Youtang was coming, he couldn't help but started crying in fear.

For a moment, the mother and son were crying together, and Li Fang, who was watching from the side, was also affected and kept wiping away tears.

Ah chirp...

Zhu Youtang, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, was on his way to the West Road outside the inner court, but he wanted to come in person to comfort Concubine Shao who was sensible. After all, he was actually taking advantage of Prince Xing in this matter, but suddenly he couldn't help but hit her hard. sneezed.

Your Majesty, the Queen Mother would like to invite you to Renshou Palace! A palace maid suddenly blocked the palace road and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Youtang didn't understand why the Queen Mother was looking for him. Now there was no need to rush to Xianxi Palace, so he changed the dragon chariot to the closer Renshou Palace.

Chengxi Palace, main hall room.

Zhang Yujiao was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, lightly applying her makeup, but she planned to visit Zhu Youtang in person after Zhu Youtang left the morning court.

Although she still doesn't want to take the initiative to surrender to Zhu Youtang, the situation has changed. Her eldest brother Zhang Heling is going to marry the daughter of Wang Zeng, the grandson of Wang Ji, the former Minister of War.

It was a pity that Zhu Youtang did not get the marriage blessing, but as Zhu Youtang's brother-in-law, his eldest brother had to receive tens of thousands of taels of gift money for his wedding.

She knew that the inner treasury was no better than the Prince's Mansion, which could only wait eagerly for annual gifts. However, the inner treasury had properties such as the Imperial Mansion and the Imperial Store under the supervision of Yu Ma. Giving tens of thousands taels to her eldest brother was just a drop in the bucket, and she really couldn't give him a gift. Ten thousand salt quotations are enough.

Princess, Your Majesty has gone to the outer west road, probably to the Queen Mother! A palace maid came in panting to report.

Zhang Yujiao had just finished tracing her beautiful eyebrows and asked the maid waiting next to her: Does it look good?

The painting of the Crown Princess is so beautiful. When we arrive at Qianqing Palace later, His Majesty will be fascinated! Xiao Zi knew Zhang Yujiao's temperament well, so she complimented her.

Zhang Yujiao's chin was raised slightly, and there seemed to be a hum in her nose. But when she saw the palace maid who came in to report was still standing, her whole pretty face was suddenly covered with frost.

What are you doing here, why don't you stop staring! Xiao Zi noticed Zhang Yujiao's strange behavior and scolded the restless little palace maid.

As if she had been granted amnesty, the little palace maid hurried to visit again.

Princess, Zhang Siqing wants to see you! As soon as the little palace maid left, a little eunuch reported.

Zhang Yujiao didn't understand why her father came to visit suddenly, but naturally she had no reason to turn him away, so she had her father brought over.

Daughter! What a shame! What a shame! After Zhang Luan saw Zhang Yujiao, he angrily yelled at the smartest daughter.

Zhang Yujiao was far more mature and calm than her peers, but she held the lid of the tea and poured the tea slowly and said: Dad, our Zhang family is about to arrange a big wedding for the eldest brother. Later, my daughter will go to His Majesty in person to ask for it. If you want a reward, why do you need to get angry over trivial matters?

Daughter, this wedding cannot be held. Just now... just now Wang Zeng's grandson broke off his engagement with our Zhang family! Zhang Luan seemed even more aggrieved and immediately complained.

Zhang Yujiao was immediately furious. She stopped pouring tea and said, Why did Wang Zeng do this?

It's not because of you! Zhang Luan hesitated for a moment, his eyes looking very complicated.

Zhang Yujiao was stunned for a moment, looked up in confusion and said, Me?

Although this is the palace, some things cannot be hidden from outside eyes. People already know everything about this place! Since His Majesty ascended the throne, have you ever been lucky enough to see me one night? Zhang Man hesitated for a moment, then decided immediately. Pick up the broken window paper trail.

Zhang Yujiao didn't expect that the people outside were so powerful, but she suppressed her anger and said: Because of this reason, they think that His Majesty no longer favors me, and even wants to abolish the queen, right? At this point, she suddenly shook her head gently. He said: This matter is also wrong. Although Wang Zeng's daughter is beautiful and beautiful and is sought after by the princes of various families, this family is a matchmaker of the Xu family. Wang Zeng dare not offend Xu Pu, right?

Wang Zeng's grandson saw that Xu Pu had lost power, so he said he wanted to break off the engagement with our Zhang family! What's more, the person who brokered this marriage was your cousin's wife Xu Yuanxiu. She is Xu Pu's most beloved daughter. It's fake, but it doesn't even represent the Xu family! Zhang Luan still had enough brains to point out the whole story.

In the morning meeting just now, he witnessed with his own eyes a farce surrounding the door grabbing.

Everyone had always been very optimistic about Xu Pu, not to mention that he was obviously excluded by His Majesty. Now that the chief minister of the cabinet, Wan An, has returned smoothly, Xu Pu will have a good life.

Maybe others don't know, but they all know the close relationship between Xu Pu and Huai'en. Wan'an's expulsion by Huai'en must have been at Xu Pu's instigation.

Not to mention whether Huaien will bite Xu Pu out of Fusi Prison in Beizhen, Wan'an's revenge alone will be violent, and Xu Pu's downfall is completely foreseeable.

Zhang Yujiao was stunned again and said even more unclearly: Why did Xu Pu lose power? Isn't he the leader of Qingliu? It was he who took the lead in stopping the draft that His Majesty wanted to draft a few days ago!

Daughter, listen to my father's advice and stop playing tricks on you. You should admit your mistake to His Majesty, otherwise, if you don't talk about the abolition of the queen, you won't even be able to take the queen's position! Zhang Luan looked at this smart man with complicated eyes. My daughter seemed to be speaking seriously and sincerely.

Zhang Yujiao's expression suddenly changed, but she immediately put down the tea cup in her hand and said: I am tired, please send Zhang Siqing out of the palace!

Thank you to the book friend Gao Shushuxia for you and me for the 233 coins and rfjh 100 coins for the reward. Thank you very much!
