Chapter 158: The Queen is Pregnant

There was a look of longing in the Empress Dowager's eyes.

If the Empress Dowager didn't want her youngest son, it would be impossible, but the Empress Dowager turned a few corners in her heart. sighed and said, "No need, the mountain is high and the road is far away." If he is responsible for national affairs, he doesn't have to make a trip. ”

The Empress Dowager has always known that the matter of King Xiang's golden book is the knot between the emperor and her.

The previous emperor, even if she tried her best to show maturity, was like a pool of shallow water, and she could see the root at a glance.

But that's no longer the case.

Now that she looks at the emperor again, she seems to be sincere and sincere, and has no intention of showing. A pseudo-word, but it has been done to the extreme.

The Empress Dowager knew that the emperor was hiding something in his heart, but the emperor who couldn't see it was hiding something in his heart. seems to be open-minded, but he doesn't know how many armor soldiers are hidden in the open city gate.

The Empress Dowager already believed that the emperor could sit on the throne. But he became more and more worried about the fate of King Xiang.

Every Ming Jun is a tiger, and a man-eating tiger.

The Empress Dowager also has her own judgment on her body and bones, and she probably won't do it. Even if King Xiang came from Yunnan, it was just a funeral.

Why bother?

She doesn't believe in any of the emperor's promises about King Xiang now, and only hopes that the emperor can forget King Xiang and let King Xiang stay in Yunnan for the rest of his life.

Just stay alive.

Zhu Qizhen can't understand this kind of mother's thoughts. It's just that seeing that the Empress Dowager didn't want to say more, she immediately fed the decoction to the Empress Dowager spoonful by spoonful.

Then he handed the empty bowl to Queen Qian.

Queen Qian was behind Zhu Qizhen, and immediately reached out to take it, but she didn't know why, she frowned suddenly, and suddenly felt that between her chest and abdomen, it seemed that it was overturning the river and the sea. As soon as the hand was released, the medicine bowl smashed on the ground, and with a "pop", it shattered into an unknown number of pieces.

Zhu Qizhen immediately supported the queen and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The Empress Dowager was experienced, and said, "Quick, pass on the imperial doctor." ”

Because of the illness of the Empress Dowager, there are always imperial doctors in Cining Palace. In just a few moments, a imperial doctor came to check Queen Qian's pulse.

The imperial doctor only thought slightly, then got up and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the queen mother is happy." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, and he didn't know how many thoughts came to his heart.

There is joy, he has a child for the first time in his life.

There were accidents. Zhu Qizhen has actually been doing contraception in some things, and he doesn't want his son to come so soon.

The reason is very simple, if this child is a princess, it is fine, if it is a prince, it is the prince.

He is now sixteen years old. Even if he was emperor for another thirty years, he would only be forty-six years old, which is not counted

Big. It can even be said that it is when you are in the prime of life. But at that time, the crown prince grew up.

This kind of embarrassment arises spontaneously.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen himself wanted to postpone the birth of the crown prince.

It's just that he never expected that he had actually done some contraception, but he couldn't do it openly. Naturally, there are fish that slip through the net.

It's normal to have this situation.

But his own joy was mixed with his anxiety about the future of politics. Zhu Qizhen couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while.

"Good, good, good." The Empress Dowager was extremely happy. For a while, the Empress Dowager's heart was also raised.

For the Empress Dowager, nothing made him happier than seeing the birth of the prince.

First, Zhu Qizhen is her eldest son and grandson after all, and he is a descendant. Zhu Qizhen saw the Empress Dowager's love for King Xiang, but didn't the Empress Dowager love Emperor Xuanzong's lineage?

It's just that Zhu Qizhen ignored it.

Second, it is also the political significance brought by this prince.

Any emperor who has no son is not stable enough for the throne, and the emperor who has a son is not stable with the emperor who has no son. It is directly manifested in many things.

Zhu Qizhen has a son, which means that even if Zhu Qizhen dies young, the policy finalized by Zhu Qizhen will not be easily changed.

But if there is no son, all the political achievements will survive, and it is very unspeakable.

Especially in the case of the thin number of people in the Xuanzong lineage, the significance of this child is even more significant, and many political hidden dangers have been eliminated because of the existence of this child.

The Empress Dowager immediately ordered the queen to return to Kunning Palace and raise the fetus with peace of mind.

Although the empress dowager's heart has been raised, human aging is not transferred by anyone's will. As a result, the Empress Dowager's condition improved slightly, although it became heavy again.

It seems that the Tai Hospital is going to move to Cining Palace. Even so, the Empress Dowager's illness is still struggling between life and death.

Zhu Qizhen even canceled all the celebrations of the seven years of orthodoxy due to the illness of the Empress Dowager. Take care of the Queen Mother wholeheartedly.

At the same time, Zhu Qizhen did not forget, quickly stepped up, and wrote a letter to King Xiang. Let him come back.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen wrote the letter was because of the situation of **, and Zhu Qizhen did not understand. Worried about rashly summoning King Xiang back to Beijing, what should I do if I go out? So he gave King Xiang the right to choose for himself.

It's just that when the letter reached King Xiang, it was already the spring of the seventh year of orthodoxy.

Since the autumn of last year, Wang Ji led the army out of Luchuan and set off for Mengyang.

The winter did not stop the army, and even intentionally helped the army. The reason is simple, the winter is warmer than the spring in the north.

This kind of weather is very suitable for coming to the north of Ming

Army.

Overall, though, the march of the army was not very fast.

There are two main aspects.

The first aspect is the toast of all parties.

This time, Wang Ji used seven guards in Yunnan, plus three guards in Xiangwang, a total of ten guards, more than 50,000 people, plus the recruited people, known as 100,000 troops.

But the 100,000 troops were mainly built on the road from Luchuan to Mengyang.

King Xiang also intended to extend the post road of the Ming Dynasty to Mengyang. At the same time, with the help of the power of the imperial court, his strength was extended to Mengyang.

Expand his base plate.

In this way, although there are a lot of 100,000 troops, they are a little overstretched on these hundreds of miles of roads, and ** is the territory of Sijia.

Si Jifa did not confront Da Ming head-on at all, but retreated step by step to attack the grain road.

Let the Ming army be very crazy, and there is nothing to do. If Si Ji is stupid enough to fight with his Lao Tzu, Si Ren Fa is general, and he dares to fight with Da Ming. Wang Ji can also let Sijifa taste what the iron fist of justice is.

But the thinking machine is obedient.

In this way, Wang Ji can only rely on Tusi more, after all, he sent Da Ming to enter regularly and pursue the natives here in the deep mountains and old forests.

If you think about it, it's a very deadly thing.

And because Zhu Qizhen canonized King Xiang Yu Luchuan, many Tusi were worried about Daming. Therefore, Wang Ji's communication with these toasts was not smooth.

The second aspect is geography.

Luchuan was already the farthest place that the Han army had come, and Mengyang was a place where the army had never come.

This kind of road for the march of the company army is almost a place where it is cut out of the mountains, and Wang Ji has the heart to dare to advance quickly, once he is lured by the enemy to go deeper. After a big defeat, it's hard to clean up.

You must know that the 50,000 troops brought by Wang Ji do not seem to be much, but they are still the largest number of soldiers that the Ming Dynasty can gather in Yunnan.

Once it fails, Yunnan can only give up many places and stick to the core area.

Wang Ji can't afford this responsibility.

So he preferred to be slower.

It's just that even so, there was an incident that shook Wang Ji's heart.

It's just that King Xiang has always disagreed.

And at this time, after King Xiang received Zhu Qizhen's letter, he sat on the ground for a while, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

King Xiang is called King Xiang, although there are also falsifications, but not all of them are so, at least King Xiang's filial piety to the Queen Mother is true.

The Empress Dowager is very old, and King Xiang is not unprepared in his heart, but when he really receives this news at this moment, it is like a thunderbolt.

disrupted all the thoughts of King Xiang. For a while, he had the intention of letting go of everything and returning to Beijing immediately. But reason told him no.
