Looking at his father, Li Xi didn't know what his father meant, but after so many years, his father has always been a very powerful person in his eyes, and he has never made a wrong decision.

"Then father, there won't be any problems on Xu Wenchang's side, right?" Li Xi looked at his father and said with some hesitation.

Glancing at his son, Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "This matter has never been on Xu Wenchang, we just need him to hand the words to the emperor." The first thing his father looked for was Zhang Whale, but Zhang Whale left Beijing. ”

"Now Xu Wenchang is just replacing Zhang Whale, in fact, as long as the words are handed to the emperor, then the rest of the things are not up to us."

Li Xi nodded, although he was very worried in his heart, but he still did not choose to speak. All along, he believed in his father's words. Although this time it was an adventure, he was still willing to believe in his father.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Shen, the Qing of Honglu Temple in front of him, and asked, "You said that those two Warat people want to see me?" ”

"Back to the emperor, yes!" Wang Shen agreed.

Since the Warat people arrived in the capital, they have actually been thinking about seeing Zhu Yijun, but Zhu Yijun is not in the mood to deal with them. Some time ago, I figured out my attitude towards Warat, and I wanted to see it, but there were too many things in the back and it was delayed.

"Which of the two of them is more urgent?" Zhu Yijun thought about it and asked Zhao Shendao.

"Back to the emperor, it is Huang Taiji's son Pullik, who has invited his ministers to see the emperor three times." Speaking of this, Wang Shen was also a little helpless, and he said it to the court a few times, but the emperor never replied.

If it weren't for the emperor who brought him in today, Wang Shen would even begin to wonder if the emperor didn't know his report at all.

Zhu Yijun nodded, is Huang Taiji's son pulling Rick? This is in line with the conjecture. After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and asked, "How old is this Rick?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Pullik is thirty and two years old this Chinese New Year's Eve!" Wang Shen opened his mouth and said.

Zhu Yijun was slightly stunned, doesn't this mean that this Rick is the same age as the third lady? How old is Huang Taiji, who the three ladies are going to marry? Glancing at Wang Shen, Zhu Yijun asked, "Then do you know how old Huang Taiji is?" ”

"The minister knows that Huang Taiji has three out of fifty." Wang Shen said without thinking about it.

Huang Taiji is fifty-three?

On the one hand, Zhu Yijun was shocked that Wang Shen, the Honglu Siqing, was conscientious, and on the other hand, Zhu Yijun didn't expect Huang Taiji to be so big. Earlier, Xu Wenchang said that Huang Taiji was ugly, is this just a problem of ugliness?

However, Zhu Yijun also knows that the age gap in this era is not big.

Marrying someone in his twenties or fifties seems normal in this era, but Huang Taiji is old and ugly. This is all said that the three ladies are unwilling to marry, and no one wants to marry!

seemed to think that Zhu Yijun was interested in this, and Wang Shen said again: "Altan Khan is seventy-five years old this year. ”

"When the third lady married Altan Khan, the third lady was nineteen years old, and Altan Khan was fifty-six years old. The third lady is the niece of Altan Khan, the niece of the pro-nephew, and the third lady is known as the flower of the grassland because of her beauty. ”

"It was because of this that Altan Khan valued her and married her."

Zhu Yijun is helpless, no matter how you look at the three ladies, it is a complete tragedy!

finally survived until Altan Khan died, and she also had the strength to resist, so she was ready to resist. Of course, Huang Taiji was not ready to let the third lady resist, married the third lady, successfully ascended to the throne, and could get his beautiful cousin and beautiful stepmother.

That's a mess!

"In that case, let's see you!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "But I will see Mo Rigen of the Waraki Lagut Department first, you go back and make arrangements, it will be three days later, and I will see Mo Rigen in three days." ”

"It's the emperor, and the ministers will arrange it when they go back!" Wang Shen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter who the emperor sees, just see it.

He's been annoyed enough these days, and now he's finally going to get out.

Wang Shen left, Zhu Yijun showed a smile on his face, it was okay to make a mess of Wara, save yourself from making trouble. stretched his waist, and just as Zhu Yijun was about to continue watching the folds, a eunuch suddenly ran in.

The eunuch knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Emperor, great joy, great joy, great joy!" ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned, there was no war here, what was the joy? Looking at the little eunuch, Zhu Yijun was stunned, isn't this guy the eunuch of Kunning Palace? The eunuch of Kunning Palace, Daxi, when these two things are linked, there is only one possibility.

Zhu Yijun stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, looked at the eunuch and asked, "But the queen?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the queen is happy, the doctor of the hospital diagnosed the queen's happy pulse, and the queen asked the slave to come to the emperor to report the good news." As the eunuch spoke, he cried excitedly.

Zhu Yijun is too lazy to take care of the eunuchs now, and he suddenly has a feeling of unreality.

There were surprises and worries, but they still rushed out of the Wenhua Hall directly and went directly towards Kunning Palace.

At this time, Kunning Palace was really lively, Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace and Empress Dowager Chen of Ciqing Palace all came, and the two of them were holding Queen Wang's hand, smiling and saying something, and Queen Wang was shyly and happy smile.

Several of Zhu Yijun's concubines also came, looking at Queen Wang with envious smiles one by one.

Seeing Zhu Yijun coming in, Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "This is going to be the person of the emperor, why are you still frizzy." ”

Although the words are said so, the smile on the face of the Empress Dowager Li is very bright, after waiting for so many years, she can finally hold her grandson. This is a big thing for her, and it is the queen Youxi, who gave birth to a son, that is the prince.

The queen was overjoyed.

The news soon spread throughout the capital, making the entire early winter capital seem a lot warmer.

In the cabinet, several cabinet elders are sitting together and resting, and a charcoal basin is placed in the center. I don't know why, this year's winter seems to be very cold, and it has just begun, and it is already necessary to make charcoal pots.

Recently, the atmosphere in the cabinet has been a bit strange, and although everyone is sitting together to rest, the atmosphere is not very lively.

The reason is, of course, because of Yang Shiyin, the first assistant of the cabinet supports it, and the second assistant of the cabinet opposes it, which is a contradiction. The emperor decreed that Zhang Siwei's student Li Zhi was promoted, which is an obvious signal.

There are many people in the court who follow Zhang Siwei's advocacy, and there is a tendency to overwhelm Shen Shixing.

However, among the four cabinet elders in the cabinet, Yu Youding and Pan Sheng all support Shen Shixing, while Zhang Siwei feels a little lonely fighter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, the emperor asked us to discuss the candidates for the cabinet scholars, should we report to the emperor?" Zhang Siwei glanced at the four of them and said slowly.

Hai Rui's entry into the cabinet, Shen Shixing was naturally impressed.

It's just that Hai Rui's entry into the cabinet was blocked by his own people, and the matter of the fifth cabinet scholar was delayed, the emperor didn't ask, and the cabinet didn't do it, and everyone felt that this matter was over.

I didn't expect Zhang Siwei to turn this matter out at this time, no one is a fool, of course he knows what Zhang Siwei means by doing this.

Zhang Siwei is lonely in the cabinet, this is looking for help, and it is at this critical time. Shen Shixing knew very well in his heart that if he elected a cabinet scholar at this time, the emperor was very likely to agree, and he was the candidate recommended by Zhang Siwei.

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Shixing suddenly had a feeling of eating flies.

Although he had already noticed Zhang Siwei's movements, it was just that Shen Shixing was lucky before, but now he has nothing at all. Zhang Siwei is going to completely seize power, and he is going to insert people in the cabinet.

When Zhang Siwei's hands are inserted, the next step must be to promote Shiyin.

If he continues to insist on opposing it, then he probably should dismiss and go home.

After thinking about it for a while, Shen Shixing figured out the ins and outs of this matter, and also guessed Zhang Siwei's thoughts. But this is a conspiracy, after all, the emperor ordered that the cabinet draw up candidates, this is the emperor's order!

Although the emperor didn't say it, it is very likely that he forgot, if everyone doesn't mention it, then it's over.

But now that Zhang Siwei has mentioned it, you can't forget it!

"yes!" Shen Shixing nodded and said, "I'm busy these days, fortunately, the emperor didn't ask, otherwise it would be the negligence of our cabinet." But since Zhang Ge Lao mentioned it, let's think about what suitable candidates there are! ”

Zhang Siwei glanced at Shen Shixing and said with a smile: "Okay, let's think about it." ”

has worked with Shen Shixing for so many years, Zhang Siwei naturally knows what trick Shen Shixing is playing, it is nothing more than dragging. But how could he give him this opportunity, if he drags it out now, he will be in trouble later.

After thinking about it, Zhang Siwei stood up and said, "Okay, let's go back and do things!" The queen is pregnant with a dragon seed, this is a major event in the imperial court, we should also go to the congratulatory table, everyone think about how to write it. ”

In the past few days, Zhu Yijun has been staying in Kunning Palace, accompanying Queen Wang all day long, and he is finally going to be a father.

It's just that Zhu Yijun is also worried, you must know that in history, the queen often slipped tires, which was basically caused by the first child. Zhu Yijun was very careful, and even sent Chen Ju over to serve, for fear that something would go wrong.

But the queen can't stand it anymore, although she is pregnant, the emperor is very happy to be by her side all day long, but she can't be like this all day!

It is estimated that if the emperor does not go back, the ministers should come up, and Zhu Yijun will be driven out of Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory watch from the ministers." Chen Ju held a stack of folds and put them in front of Zhu Yijun: "All of them are congratulations to the queen." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, picked up a copy and read it, but he didn't expect that the top one was Zhang Siwei's. In the congratulatory table, Zhang Siwei congratulated him, and at the end he exhorted that the emperor could not delay the right thing, such as the election of cabinet scholars.
