The inner prisoners assigned to the Chengguang Palace, all of whom were frustrated in the power struggle, knelt down on both sides of the road one by one, waiting for Zhu Zhanji's arrival.

Zhu Zhanji does not need to publicize his affinity at this time, in this era of class solidification, excessive affinity is self-defeating.

In the entire internal supervision system, in addition to the level on the surface, the internal supervisors are divided into more levels than the level on the surface under the unspoken rules.

Those who can serve the emperor closely, those who can serve Zhu Zhanji, the grandson, those who can serve the prince closely, and the concubines at all levels in the harem, this is divided into several levels, and these belong to the upper class.

The middle class is mainly based on the procurement of internal supervisors in various places, the town guards, the tax envoys, and the prison army, most of them have a skill, outstanding ability, and may become the emperor's henchmen at any time.

Most of the attendants who were assigned to the palaces of various families were far away from the center of power, and they could not even touch the upward steps at all.

These people are also the most fearful of imperial power.

After these people, there were a number of members of the Dongying royal family, and they were all kneeling at the door of the main hall tremblingly at this moment.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes stared at a bare persimmon tree in the yard for a long time, it was the middle of winter, the tree became bare, and the persimmons below had been picked, leaving only three yellow-orange persimmons hanging on the top of the tree.

"Where is the King of Light?"

Mao Hu, the head of the palace who followed him, hurriedly said: "The king of light is in the side hall of the apse......

Zhu Zhanji interrupted him and asked, "Although King Chengguang is imprisoned in the palace, he is the king of the Dongying Kingdom. Daming and Dongying are brothers, how can they be treated so lightly, until King Chengguang is seriously ill that Dongying's subjects report to His Majesty? As the head of the palace, you can't be conscientious and fulfill your duties. They can't treat each other as equals, serve the king of light, and can't appease the subjects of Dongying and let them disturb His Majesty. What a powerlessness! …… Someone came, pulled Mao Hu down, and hit the 20 boards to set an example. ”

That Mao Hu was already like a mourner, and if he caused such a big trouble today, even if Zhu Zhanji cut off his head, no one would think it was too much. Now that he has only been beaten on the 20th board, he is already overjoyed.

He didn't dare to resist, so he was escorted down by Chu Song and two brocade guards, and began to be executed in front of a group of Dongying royal families.

When those Dongying royal families saw Zhu Zhanji doing this, they cried even louder one by one, and some even shouted slogans like "Taisun is wise, Your Majesty is wise".

Obviously, they were bullied by these chamberlains.

Of course, now that these people in the Dongying royal family have become prisoners, it is impossible to continue to live a pampered life.

Although they had 200,000 taels of silver for their living expenses every year, they were divided into two batches, and their branch only had 100,000 taels of silver.

This silver is enough to live a good life, but as a royal family, they can't go out, and what they eat and use has to be purchased through these chamberlains, who of course cheated them without negotiating.

It's only been a few months, and these servants have already extorted their annuities this year, and they are really wronged!

Of course, Zhu Zhanji also knows this, everything that happened in this palace can't be hidden from his ears and eyes, but he has no intention of standing up for the Dongying people, and he can't wait for this group of servants to grind their temper and courage away.

But there must be a premise, and that is not to cause trouble.

Now that their eating appearance is too ugly, and something has happened, then don't blame Zhu Zhanji for playing the board.

Among several members of the Dongying royal family, Zhu Zhanji stood up for them, and he had the courage to tell all the hateful things about this group of chamberlains, making the faces of a group of chamberlains look like earth.

Zhu Zhanji also became a "righteous and selfless" judge, not only to expel all these chamberlains and replace them with a batch, but also to spit out all the embezzled silver from these chamberlains.

It is all that is said, but of course it cannot be all, because no one chain of corruption exists independently.

These chamberlains extorted the money of the Dongying people, and it was impossible for them to get it all, they still had their bosses, and the outer brocade guards needed to be taken care of.

But even so, it is enough to make these Dongying people grateful to Dade.

After dealing with these affairs, Zhu Zhanji turned around and went into the backyard.

Of course, this is a forbidden area for other people, not to mention that this is the palace, it is the home of ordinary people, Zhu Zhanji can't directly break into someone's backyard, it is the residence of the female dependent.

But at this time, obviously no one would accuse Zhu Zhanji, after all, Zhu Zhanji came to stand up for them.

What's more, they have already sent two princesses to Zhu Zhanji, and they don't mind sending him two more, as long as he wants.

At the entrance of the side hall of the apse, headed by the fifteen-year-old Qiuzi, all the female dependents also knelt on the ground and bowed to worship.

Except for Qiuzi, the two beautiful princesses of the royal family have been given to Zhu Zhanji, and there are no beautiful women in it. He didn't have much interest in these women with small noses and eyes, and they were also short.

was surrounded by his own family, and Zhu Zhanji had no scruples, stepped forward to support Qiuzi's shoulders and helped her body up. "It was I who neglected you and let you be bullied by evil slaves all these days, and from now on, I will naturally not let them be lawless."

Qiuzi was petite, and stood up with Zhu Zhanji's big hand on his arm, feeling the breath of the other party, and his brain was blank.

Chengguang is the same age as her, a month younger than her, and is still like a child who has not grown up and needs her care.

Feeling Zhu Zhanji's breath, coupled with the fact that her body was held in Zhu Zhanji's big hand, and hearing Zhu Zhanji's ambiguous words, she didn't know how to react at all, she only felt that her body was weak for a while.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanji quickly let go of her again, so that she would not make a fool of herself in public.

When you enter the side hall conservatory, you can smell a strong smell of gas, because the light is sick, and now the doors and windows are closed, so that the smell of inferior coal burning lingers.

Zhu Zhanji was stunned, it couldn't be gas poisoning, right?

On a wide bed, the thin King of Chengguang was lying in it, and there was almost no bulge on the quilt, Zhu Zhanji looked at his red face, and there were really some signs of gas poisoning.

Zhu Zhanji was about to ask about his condition, but he heard someone in the courtyard report loudly: "Zhang Shichong, Wu Zhao, and Han Yulin from the Tai Hospital have arrived in ......."

Well, the professionals are here, and they don't have to meddle themselves.

Whether he is dead or alive, it will not affect him much. However, as far as the current stability of the two countries is concerned, he may naturally be better than dead.

Zhu Zhanji comforted Qiuzi a few words, and when he went out, the three imperial doctors bowed down under the corridor and said, "Meet Your Highness." ”

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "King Chengguang is in poor health, you go to the clinic first." No matter what the disease, in the precious medicine, do not hesitate to him. ”

He really wanted to take Akiko to the main hall to breathe, but it was too ugly to think of a large group of royal family members outside and molesting her in front of so many people.

He said to Akiko: "Kazuko and Sadako are lonely in the palace, and when the sick body is cured, you can also go to the palace to see them." ”

Qiuzi didn't dare to look at Zhu Zhanji, and bowed down slightly and said, "The concubine obeys orders." ”

Her head was down, and she couldn't tell if she wanted to or not.

Back in the front yard, Zhu Zhanji was still thinking about Qiuzi, this chick was indeed a stunning, but it didn't make Zhu Zhanji forget, he cared more about her identity as a princess.

I don't know if the light can satisfy her, such a chick is too cruel to stay alone in an empty room all her life.

Moreover, with this identity of hers, it seems that she can make some articles.

At the beginning, he attached great importance to the royal bloodline, thinking that it should not be mixed with blood, so he sterilized those foreign women, but now that he thinks about it, this is a bit biased.

Like this Qiuzi, if she makes her pregnant, then the child she gives birth to will be a veritable king in the future!

All you need to do is get her to bed, and it's better than going to conquer Dongying with thousands of troops.

Moreover, even if the Dongying people knew that this child was his species, they didn't dare to speak out.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is strong for a hundred years and controls Dongying for a hundred years, the bloodline of the entire royal family can be replaced.

This is much easier than using a large army to conquer.

While questioning those royal family members of Dongying, Zhu Zhanji gradually fleshed out this plan in his heart.

After a while, the three imperial doctors also came to the main hall, their faces were a little heavy, but they stopped talking.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at a group of worried Dongying people, and said: "If the three of you have something to say, don't hide anything, and try to cure King Chengguang." ”

Zhang Shichong, the leader, said: "Your Highness, King Chengguang contracted a cold a few days ago, and because he has been infected for a few days, he has a high fever and has infected his lungs. If you want to be cured, I'm afraid it will take at least a month. ”

The faces of those Dongying people were much better, and they called the King of Light their cousins anyway. Moreover, now this prince is the person most valued by the Ming Dynasty, and he is the most severely criticized.

Even if they were interested in this throne, they didn't dare to express it now, and they wanted King Chengguang to continue to be a target in front of them.

Anyway, King Chengguang is young, and now the financial power is in their hands, so that King Chengguang is in front, and they have benefited.

"Can it be cured?"

Zhang Shichong nodded and said, "It's just that now he has a high fever, and the wind evil has entered his brain, and I am afraid that it will hinder his intelligence in the future." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions became more relaxed, and if the King of Light became a fool, it would be a good thing for everyone.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait to give a direct order, even if he was drugged, he would turn him into a fool. If he becomes a fool and does it to Akiko himself, then he will have no worries.

Of course, he can't say this now, at most, he will hint at Zhang Shichong and them later.

When Zhu Zhanji left the Chengguang Palace, Mao Hu and several of the leading eunuchs had been sent back to the palace and replaced a few people in charge.

The silver that had been extorted by the inner prison was also withdrawn a few thousand taels and placed at the door of the main hall.

Zhu Zhanji said to King Kenren of the Fushimi Palace, who is now in charge of the entire palace: "If you are wronged in the future, don't endure it anymore." Lone will definitely support you......"

It can be a few thousand taels of silver, and King Jianren also feels that it is an unexpected joy.

He is even happier that he has finally got in touch with the current Ming grandson, after these ten years, he will return to Dongying in the future, of course a fool can't be the emperor, at that time, it was not him who had the final say!

It's just that he didn't know that Zhu Zhanji never thought of letting them go back, and even if he put them back, he would let himself and Qiuzi's son go over to them to be kings.

On this day, when he returned to the palace, he rarely came to the small courtyard where the four Dongying women lived. The fourth girl is now with him and has no famous saucer, and after bringing it back to the palace, she was placed alone in this small courtyard.

As enemy women, they are also quite inferior, and they have not taken a step out of the small courtyard for several months.

This night, he brought the four women to bed together and enjoyed the intimate service of the four women.

Early in the morning of the second day, he proposed to the crown princess Zhang to confer the title of Fengyi on Kazuko and Sadako.

Zhang was a little reluctant to this, and said: "There are still more than ten people in your harem who have not been awarded the famous disc, why do you treat two foreign women differently?" ”

Zhu Zhanji replied: "The child's move is not for women, but to win the hearts of the people of Dongying. Conferring on them the position of princess and becoming the official concubine of the child is also conducive to winning the hearts of the people. ”

Zhang's didn't object, nodded and said: "Since it involves a major national event, I should arrange it for you, but they have been sterilized and can no longer give birth to a child for you." ”

With the support of the Zhang family, of course the Zongren Mansion would not object to this matter. Zhu Di also expressed his support after knowing Zhu Zhanji's plan, so a few days later, news came out in the palace that His Royal Highness Taisun had appointed two princesses of the Japanese Kingdom as Fengyi.

Although these two princesses are still two generations, one is the little aunt of Chengguang and the other is his sister, but at this time, no one cares whether it is in accordance with the etiquette or not.

Those merchants and students were excited, and for several days in a row, many people sent gifts to the palace. At the Donghua Gate, gifts for the two princesses were piled up in a room.

Since she was officially accepted as a concubine, the Dongying royal family naturally had to express it. Although they were short of money, they also scraped together 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry for the two princesses.

It's just the lowest level of service, and you don't have to hold a separate wedding. It's just that five days after the news broke, a small ceremony was held in the small courtyard where several people lived.

On the third day after the marriage, there was no return ceremony in the palace, but Zhu Zhanji also asked a group of internal eunuchs and palace maids to send several of them to the Chengguang Palace, mainly to make these Dongying people feel at ease.

And after the high fever subsided, he did not become a fool as Zhu Zhanji thought, but he was a lot more wooden.

However, he was frail and silent, and there was not much difference between him and the past.

On the hospital bed, he also congratulated his aunt and sister, but every move seemed to be taught.

After getting this news, Zhu Zhanji has decided to get this matter done before the Chinese New Year.

(Deleted, deleted, modified, and finally deleted the following plot.) Because I have offended a group of people, several of my books have been maliciously reported, and if I write such a plot, I am afraid that I will be reported again. The historical Emperor of Hoko was originally frail and sickly and had no heirs, but later he appointed Prince Hikohito of the Fushimi Palace family as the crown prince, that is, the emperor of the back garden. The train of thought was interrupted, I will update 4,000 words today and make up for it tomorrow)
