Just when Guo Song Zhen was making arrangements for his son, Zhu Zhu of Luoyang also welcomed a major event among his heirs at the same time, his Concubine Xiao Shu finally gave birth and gave birth to a son.

Concubine Xiao Shu was originally just a little palace maid, but she was fortunate to be there when she served Zhu Zhu at night, and soon became pregnant, which was the first woman in the harem to be pregnant after Zhu Zhu became emperor.

At first, Zhu Jun also doubted that the palace maid's pregnancy could be caused by the guards, but after careful inference, he found that the palace maid had no chance to contact other men at all, and could only sprout the seeds she sowed.

This result made Zhu Jun ecstatic, having no heirs can be said to be the biggest pain in his life, he had sons when he was young, but unfortunately they all died at a very young age.

Over the next twenty years, his woman changed one stubble after another, but none of them gave him sons or daughters.

Zhu Jun himself has no confidence, he is almost sixty years old, and he is still so fat, how can he still have children? So much so that he made his nephew Zhu Sui the crown prince.

Things in the world are so wonderful, just when Zhu Jun was completely desperate and no longer considered his offspring, God gave him a child at the most inadvertent moment.

Zhu Jun immediately named this palace maid Xiao as a concubine, and equipped her with hundreds of maids, as well as more than 20 midwives and eight best imperial doctors.

In order to reassure Xiao, he named Xiao's father Xiao Wanding as the general of the left guard and Zheng Guogong, and his mother Yang as the wife of Zheng Guo, and the two brothers were named Hu Benlang generals, giving them the actual military power.

Under Zhu Zhu's careful care, Xiao finally ripened and gave birth to a white fat son in the twilight of spring, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately named his son Zhu Chun, and named him King Zhao, and at the same time granted amnesty to the world.

But some people are happy and some people are worried, the Xiao family is favored, and gave birth to the only son of Zhu Jun, the Xiao family is a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven, and the biggest threat is the Liu family, first of all, the status of Liu Guifei? Before that? Concubine Liu Guifei used all kinds of means to firmly hold Zhu Zhu in her hands, so that he would not pamper other harems.

But no matter how powerful the means are, they can't compare to getting pregnant and giving birth to a child for Zhu Jun? Zhu Jun promised her before that she would no longer be a concubine? Only spoil her, but Xiao is pregnant? Zhu Jun immediately put his oath behind him, and immediately made the Xiao family a concubine? And let it live in the Yaoguang Hall in the east? This is the most elaborate and luxurious palace next to the Kyushu Pond, and it is generally where the queen lives.

How could this kind of treatment not make Liu Guifei jealous, and at the same time hate Xiao Guifei to the core, she wanted to send assassins to kill Xiao Guifei several times? But Zhu Jun is very thoughtful? The two most powerful female guards around him were sent to the Xiao family to protect her safety, so that Liu Guifei didn't have any chance of getting off at all.

The imperial palace of Zhu Zhu is called Taichu Palace, and there is also a large lake in the harem, called Kyushu Pond? All the palace complexes are built around the Kyushu Pond, and the west is the Juxian Palace? Where Liu Guifei lives, and to the east is the Yaoguang Palace? It should be the queen's residence, and now it is given to Concubine Xiao Shu? Two people separated by a Kyushu pool nearly two miles wide? It can be said that well water does not interfere with river water.

At this point? A painting boat sailed slowly in the Kyushu Pool, and at the bow stood Liu Guifei, who was beautiful and tall and plump, if in terms of appearance, Liu Guifei could be regarded as a stunning beauty, plus she was full of charms, and she did fascinate Zhu Zhu for a while, in contrast, Xiao Shufei looked very ordinary, so ordinary that she couldn't be more ordinary, not to mention her appearance, let alone any style.

It was also that night that Zhu Jun drank too much deer blood, and woke up in the middle of the night with a burning horn, just the Xiao family was on duty vigil, and Zhu Zhu didn't care about her appearance, so he forcibly dragged her to bed and was lucky, otherwise, hundreds of beauties in Zhu Zhu's harem would not be able to take Xiao's turn.

Liu Guifei stared at Wanzi Pavilion with cold eyes, this is the name that has just been changed, Shengshang, Xiao Shufei and her son are in this attic at this time, Shengshang has not been to himself for five consecutive days, they are all here to accompany the cheap woman surnamed Xiao, thinking that the slut has taken her favor, Liu Guifei can't wait to throw her into the poisonous snake pit and let the ten thousand snakes bite.

At this time, the confidant eunuch Feng Baolun whispered: "Guifei Niangniang, the old slave still suspects that the woman has an affair with the guards, the saint is almost sixty years old, and he has not given birth for decades, how can he still sow dragon seeds?" ”

Liu Guifei's pretty face sank, "Don't say these useless words, the saint has specially investigated, much more cautious than your random suspicions, that cheap woman's first time was given to the saint, and in the next three months, she didn't have any chance to contact men, if I could find the slightest evidence, I would have done it a long time ago, and I still need you to say this kind of useless nonsense here?" ”

"But..... There have been rumors in the palace recently? Feng Baolun said.

"What rumors?" Liu Guifei glanced back at him.

"The old slave didn't dare to say it."

Liu Guifei raised her eyebrows, and said angrily: "You have said everything, and you dare to sell Guanzi, beware of the old lady kicking you into the lake." ”

"The old slave heard..... The saint wants to canonize that cheap woman as the queen. ”

"What?"

Liu Guifei's apricot eyes widened, and she was shocked.

She grabbed Feng Baolun's shirt, gritted her silver teeth and asked, "Is this news true?" ”

Feng Baolun was so frightened that he trembled and said, "It's just a rumor, don't take it seriously." ”

"When did this rumor come out?" Liu Guifei restrained the anger in her heart and said.

"Just came out!"

Liu Guifei's eyes were dark, and she almost fainted, but the two palace maids hurriedly supported her, she entered the boat and sat down, and ordered weakly: "Go back to the palace!" ”

The ship turned around and headed for the Juxian Hall on the west bank.

Liu Guifei finally glanced back at the attic, her eyes were full of hatred, she www.biqugexx.xyz clenched her fists tightly, and her knuckles turned white.

She knows very well in her heart that there is no wind and no waves, and the rumors in the palace that she wants to make Xiao Slut the queen are by no means unfounded rumors.

When she returned to the dormitory, she immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Feng Baolun: "You leave the palace immediately, give the letter to my brother, and go now!" ”

"The old slave obeys!"

Feng Baolun accepted the letter and left in a hurry.

At this time, Liu Guifei had calmed down, and she realized that this was not just a matter of competing for favor or fame, but involving the vital interests of the Liu family.

..........

After returning to Luoyang from Yanzhou, Liu Feng also felt that he was a little left out by Zhu Zhu, mainly because Zhang Wutao, whom he recommended, lost his letter, which made Zhu Zhu very annoyed and very dissatisfied with Liu Feng.

One of the things that disturbed Liu Feng the most was that Zhu Jun dismissed Fan Wenting in the Neiku Du Zhi Lang and appointed Xiao Di as the Nei Fu Du Zhi Lang Zhong, a very special official position in the Nei Ku Du Zhi Lang, in the most popular terms, that is, Zhu Jun's small treasury accountant.

Of course, Zhu Zhu also has his own private treasury, which is called the inner treasury, the wealth accumulated by Zhu Zhu for many years, as well as the money handed over every year by hundreds of large estates and thousands of shops, as well as the hundreds of Yangzhou tycoons, at least half of the wealth has entered the inner treasury, and there are more than 20 treasury under the jurisdiction of the inner treasury alone, which are piled up with all kinds of gold and silver treasures, and even the managers of the inner treasury can't count how much wealth there is.

Zhu Jun heard Fan Wenting say that there are as many as one million taels of gold alone, and nearly 10 million yuan of money, as for jewelry, jade, and colored silk, it is simply innumerable.

The previous Inner Kudu Zhilang Zhong Fan Wenting was recommended by Liu Feng and was his Qiangu staff, but now he has been dismissed by Zhu Zhu on the grounds of negligent management, which is of course an excuse, and the new Inner Kudu Zhilang Zhong Xiao Di is Xiao Wanding's nephew, and Xiao Wanding is Xiao Shufei's father.

It was this Neiku Lang who was dismissed from one term and one term, which made Liu Feng feel a strong crisis, Liu Feng of course knew that Concubine Xiao Shu gave birth to a son to Zhu Zhu, and the Xiao family immediately ascended to heaven, Xiao Wanding was originally just a deputy envoy of the Zhengzhou regiment, a middle and lower-level officer, first named the general of the left guard, and now he has been promoted to the general of the tiger Benwei and the king of Xingyang County, holding 100,000 tiger army.

And his two sons, one was originally a militia horse archer, and the other was originally a militia infantry archer, who was equivalent to a big-headed soldier like a fire chief, and now they are both promoted to tiger generals, each in charge of 10,000 of the most elite tiger warriors.

What annoyed Liu Feng even more was that Xiao Wanding and Liu Sigu had a hot fight, and this month alone, they had drunk together three times.

In the room, Liu Feng finished reading the letter written to him by the concubine, the content of the letter made him frightened, Liu Feng immediately ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Yang quickly!" ”

Not long after, Yang Mi hurriedly came to the inner hall, Yang Mi took leave some time ago and went back to his hometown to visit his wife, children and parents, and just came back the day before yesterday.

"See Sangkook!" Yang Mi gave a deep salute.

Liu Feng waved his hand, "Sir, sit down and say!" ”

Yang Mi sat down, and Liu Feng asked, "How much do you know about the Xiao family?" ”

"I have heard of it, Concubine Xiao gave birth to a son a month ago, and the Son of Heaven immediately named her son King Zhao, Concubine Shu's father Xiao Wanding was originally the general of the left guard and the Duke of Zheng Guogong, and now he is actually named the general of the Tiger Benwei and the king of Xingyang County, holding 100,000 tiger troops, and the Xiao family has gained power."

Liu Feng sneered, "Not only military power, but also financial power, Xiao Wanding's nephew Xiao Di, who was originally a Hubu Langzhong, is now appointed as the Inner Mansion Duzhi Langzhong and has become the chief steward of the Inner Treasury of the Son of Heaven." ”

Yang Mi was taken aback, "Xiangguo, I'm afraid the appointment of the Son of Heaven has a deep meaning!" ”
