In the early morning of the next day, the fiery red glow shone on the cold palace walls.

Holding 500,000 white strips in his hand, Zhu Houzhao guarded the moon cave at noon, and the little eunuch's heart suddenly rejoiced: "Your Highness, here!" ”

The blue and simple sedan chair fell next to the dismount monument, Yan Chengjin opened the sedan curtain, and saw Zhu Houzhao running over happily.

"You guys surround him! Lao Gao, I haven't slept all night in this palace, and my waist is tired, you can quickly redeem it into a silver ticket! ”

Zhu Houzhao is proud of the spring breeze, and today he must let Lao Gao exchange the white strip for a silver ticket, so that he can rest assured.

The five little eunuchs surrounded Yan Chengjin and bluffed.

Dignified Jiuqing, no one dares to start, all of them are actors.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and asked, "What did His Highness think last night?" ”

"This palace is no longer the main palace of the past, you also go to cut it, but you are alone, it is useless to cut it, it is better to exchange the silver ticket for this palace first, or do you want to repay the debt?" Zhu Houzhao glared at him.

At this time, the temple of Fengtian.

The hundred officials held Bai Qiang in their hands, and the cabinet did not tell them, quietly waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to read the living notes.

Now, the prince's pregnancy is a major event in the DPRK.

Although the prince himself was not concerned at all, the emperor was not anxious about the eunuchs, and the ministers tossed and turned all night, making it difficult to sleep.

Liu Jian's eyes showed concern: "Your Majesty, how was the prince doing last night?" ”

Ma Wensheng raised his head slightly, his sunken eyes looked at Emperor Hongzhi with embarrassment, and the other officials all showed anticipation.

The magistrate was allowed to stay in the dormitory, and recorded all the hours of the prince's intercourse.

Emperor Hongzhi looked in the direction of the Ducha Academy, but he didn't see Yan Chengjin: "Where is Yan Qing's house?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "Yan Chengjin and the crown prince went to the East Palace. ”

Li Dongyang looked at Emperor Hongzhi, whether the prince had sex or not, and what the result was, these are unknown.

It is related to the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty.

The vassal king couldn't help but want to rebel, the royal family had no heirs, and the world would fall into war.

Before the matter was concluded, the officials had no intention of talking about other things.

"Your Majesty, what is the crown prince?"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said, "It's a good time, I haven't slept all night." ”

The officials breathed a sigh of relief, which means that if the crown princess is pregnant, they will know whether the disease has been cured.

Yang Tinghe's eyes wandered, and he didn't know if he could impeach Yan Chengjin.

How can there be such a miraculous medical skill in the world, saying that if a person is pregnant, he will be pregnant.

After returning to Zhan Shifu, Yang Tinghe said to the adjutants: "The prince had sex last night, and the official heard that Yan Chengjin gave the prince 500,000 taels, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”

……

Renshou Palace,

Empress Dowager Zhou also looked at the living note, and her eyes were full of brilliance: "Okay, good, the emperor only has one heir, the crown prince, but the emperor's family wants to spread out its branches, and it is always involuntarily." ”

Empress Zhang showed a look of shame on her face, and the emperor's family had many heirs, representing the prosperity of the country.

But the two children she gave birth to His Majesty died young.

"The concubine is ashamed!"

Empress Dowager Zhou turned a deaf ear and asked, "What about the crown prince and the crown princess?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi laughed loudly and said: "The crown prince and the crown princess are in the East Palace, and the queen mother wants to summon them, so I will order someone to announce it." ”

"The mourning family doesn't see the prince, and the mourning family wants to see Wang Ji and ask him when he can diagnose the pulse."

……

East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao took Yan Chengjin back and asked: "How can I exchange the 500,000 taels in this palace!" ”

"Before the minister came last night, His Majesty instructed the minister."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty commanded that if the 500,000 taels are exchanged, they will be deposited into the treasury of the household department." Yan Chengjin said truthfully.

"Dog Emperor, these 500,000 taels are earned by the palace with hard work, why should they be charged to the treasury?"

Zhu Houzhao has never seen so much silver, 500,000 taels of equipment for an army of 10,000 people, more than enough.

He wanted to raise an army that would only listen to his command, rush into the steppe, and kill Dayan Khan.

It will never be ceded to the treasury.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Highness keeps the note first, it is the best policy." ”

Zhu Houzhao thought so.

Zeng Jian came to the East Palace to visit the crown princess with supplements, and said earnestly: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are waiting, don't let Your Majesty and the hundred officials down." ”

"Fathers and daughters don't know either...... I'm afraid that it will affect my mother's family. "The crown princess knows the depth of the harem.

The grandson of the former emperor had no heirs, and offended Wang Guifei, and was finally imprisoned in the cold palace.

Although the hundred officials knew that she was wronged, they did not have a son and a half daughter, and they did not intercede for him and her at all.

Even the mother's grandson family will be implicated.

Zeng Jian sighed: "You are in the East Palace with peace of mind, and I will talk about it in a month, if you have no heirs, you will not be blamed for this matter." ”

The last sentence was said in such a whisper that only the crown princess could hear it.

The prince can't be born, who can blame him? If you change to a queen, he won't be able to give birth.

It's just that the Empress Dowager Zhou and Baiguan are already counting the days.

At the end of the month period, the imperial doctor and Wang Ji will definitely be allowed to diagnose the pulse, but the crown prince will not be convicted, and the final blame will be put on the crown princess.

When he walked out of the East Palace, Zeng Jian found a familiar figure in front of him and strode forward.

"Virtuous nephew, come to my Ministry of Engineering to sit down?"

Yan Chengjin refused: "The lower officials still have something to do, and they have to go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

If he didn't open his mouth, he also knew that Zeng Jian wanted to talk about the princess's pregnancy, but he couldn't get lucky, and with the temper of hundreds of officials and even the emperor dared to threaten him, it was not impossible to jointly abolish the concubine.

His Majesty and the Empress Dowager Zhou will not object for the sake of the royal family.

In this matter, he couldn't help Zeng Jian.

Zeng Jian pulled Yan Chengjin's sleeve, for fear that he would slip away: "Then the official will go to your yamen to sit down." ”

Back in the duty room of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, the scribe poured two cups of tea.

Of course, Yan Chengjin's tea is an ornament, and he only drinks the thermos pot tea he brought.

Yan Chengjin got straight to the point: "The matter of the crown princess is related to the unification of the royal family, and the official can only promise Lord Zeng that there will be a day when he will not follow the officials." ”

The so-called following hundreds of officials is to ask His Majesty to abolish the crown princess and replace it with someone who can give birth.

In the court, these things can be expected.

Zeng Jian brushed his beard and said: "The old man also knows that you can't force it, you are familiar with the prince, if the prince insists on not allowing it, there is room for maneuver." ”

"Lord Zeng is serious, and this official can't influence the prince's wishes."

Zhu Houzhao was excited, every time the official asked him to do something, he paid an extremely heavy price.

——————

Zeng Jian had no choice but to give up and leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a sigh.

As the days passed, the officials waited very hard, and every day was like being in a pot of oil, unable to eat and sleep, and unable to sleep at night.

Empress Dowager Zhou was looking forward to the good news from Wang Ji, but Wang Ji did not enter the palace for a long time.

In the Hereafter, it will be measured ten days after intercourse.

But in the Ming Dynasty, the medical means are still relatively backward, all relying on Wang Ji's technology, Yan Chengjin can't urge Wang Ji, in case Wang Ji can't diagnose it, it is also empty joy, and you must have a complete grasp.

When Emperor Hongzhi was exercising at noon, the little eunuch hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Wang has entered the palace!" ”

Wang Ji stepped into the palace like a god, causing the little eunuch to run around to report it.

Yan Chengjin was outside the Fengtian Palace, waiting for the court, but he heard the little eunuch say that he didn't need to go to the court: "Your Majesty has gone to the East Palace, and Wang Ji has entered the palace!" ”

The faces of the hundreds of officials are different,

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian glanced at each other and rushed to the East Palace.
