(Hehe, today's second chapter, another 8,000-word update, please support the brothers.)

In fact, don't think that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is absurd and immoral, and rarely lives here, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be said to be a rare group of infatuation seeds among the emperors of the Chinese dynasties - Emperor Hongwu and Empress Ma, Emperor Yongle and Empress Xu, Renzong and Empress Zhang, etc., etc., basically all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are very fond of one person, not to mention Xianzong Zhu Jian's affectionate fascination with Wan Guifei, and there is only one Empress Zhang in the harem of Emperor Hongzhi, and Shenzong Zhu Yijun and Zheng Guifei have been entangled for decades, and they are cited as a model of infatuation. **

This is the first time Lian Zining has faced the saint alone, so he naturally has to be very cautious, he got up early to get dressed up, and after receiving the message, he went out of the house with the little eunuch who came to deliver the message.

This time, it was Lin Yuan who came to deliver the message, and the two were already very familiar with each other, and they whispered all the way.

Entering the Forbidden City from the side gate, passing through the three major halls square, and entering the moon cave gate that runs through the inner court and the outer court, it is the inner court that is the most core place of the Ming Dynasty.

Qianqing Palace is the main hall of the inner court of the Forbidden City, one of the three palaces after the inner court, Lin Yuan led Lian Zining to the bottom of the imperial platform of the Qianqing Palace, and waited on the side of the imperial road.

Lin Yuan said apologetically: "Uncle, but I have to aggrieve you to wait here for a while, there is a big court meeting today, the emperor may not be able to go down to the court, and it may be at that time to summon you!" ”

Lian Zining said with a smile: "Father-in-law Lin, please take care of yourself, this official has been in good health since he was a child, and he will not be in the way if he stands here for a while." ”

But I understand in my heart, I'm afraid it's not a matter of a while, the great dynasty of the Ming Dynasty has always been known for procrastination and unpunctuality, and it is not uncommon for a great court meeting to open from morning to night.

Lin Yuan sued a crime, that is, he left, when he went to Liaodong to spread the decree, everyone thought that the war was spreading, and it was more auspicious to go to this trip, and these eunuchs in the inner court were especially afraid of death, who would want to go? Later, Lin Yuan took the initiative to take this errand, and Emperor Zhengde remembered him, and after he came back, he was rewarded, and now he is from the chief celebrant of the six grades, although it doesn't sound big, but he can learn to walk in the celebrant supervisor, which is a great grace and glory. You know, which celebrant didn't climb up from serving tea and pouring water for people?

This is like those Hanlin in the civil service, the officials are not big, and they don't have much power, but if you want to be the first assistant of the cabinet without this level of qualifications, it is simply impossible!

Now that the court meeting is open, the great eunuchs of the inner court are also going to work to deal with government affairs, and Lin Yuan has to hurry over to serve people!

Lian Zining stood on the edge of the royal road, looking around boredly.

In the inner court, there are obviously a lot fewer guards, but the palace maids in the inner prison are shuttling non-stop, people come and go, but their feet are fast, and they don't know what to hurry.

The avant-garde of the government army standing guard in front of the Qianqing Palace with knives did not squint.

After waiting for a full hour, I didn't see Emperor Zhengde's reliance appear in sight.

didn't wait for Emperor Zhengde, but waited for a few other uninvited guests.

A group of people walked from the east side of the Qianqing Palace, led by a young man in Chinese costumes about thirty years old, very handsome, with a healthy bronze complexion, two eyebrows faintly flying back, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and his expression was quite unruly. **// He is tall and long-legged, has a large stride, is fast, and walks with great strength between steps, and is obviously a person full of self-confidence. Behind him, followed by several little eunuchs, all of whom were hunched over their waists and stammered with a smile on their faces.

The young man wore a black crown of wings, that is, the common black gauze hat but the corners were upward, he was wearing a bright red regular robe, with large collars and large sleeves, the pattern was distributed in the same pattern, embroidered with a dragon pattern over the shoulder, with knees and sleeves, a golden rhino jade belt around his waist, and black soft leather boots under his feet. …,

When Lian Zining saw the golden coiling dragon embroidered on the shoulders of the front and rear levels of his usual clothes, he quickly lowered his head and stepped aside.

According to the regulations of the three years of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's regular clothes, crown: with black yarn, the angle is upward, that is, the winged crown. Robe: yellow, with a disc collar and narrow sleeves, and a gold woven coil on the front and back and on both shoulders. Belt: with jade. Boots: Made of leather.

And the crown princes and kings of the Ming Dynasty passed down the clothes that were similar to the style of the emperor, but the emperor was yellow, and they were red.

In the seventeenth year of Zhengde, the queen Li gave birth to a prince, because of the eldest son, although the emperor did not like this son very much, he immediately announced that he would be the crown prince. But in the thirty-fifth year of Zhengde, the crown prince angered the emperor and was deposed, and in the thirty-seventh year of Zhengde, he was reinstated. In the forty years of Zhengde, he was deposed again, and this time he was directly imprisoned by the emperor in the Fengyang Palace in the central capital.

Now there is no prince in the Ming Dynasty, and according to Lian Zining's knowledge, Emperor Zhengde has been sowing seeds diligently in recent years, although the harvest is not very good, but because the base is too large, there are dozens of princes and emperors. In addition to those who died young, there are now a total of thirty-seven princes and twenty-five emperors. Among them, there are twenty-seven adult princes, and sixteen adult emperors.

This data is already quite good, after all, the emperor's heirs of the Ming Dynasty are not too luxuriant, and Emperor Zhengde can already laugh at his father and ancestor in this regard.

Lian Zining started from the cold, and he was not the kind of hereditary family, so naturally he had no dealings with an animal like the prince, who lived in the clouds. Naturally, he didn't know the prince who came over on the other side, and he didn't know which one it was, so he muttered secretly in his heart: "This prince walks like a tiger, his temperament is different from ordinary people, with a domineering atmosphere, he is obviously a very powerful prince, and he doesn't know which of these princes, the second prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince, the ninth prince, the thirteenth prince, the fourteenth prince?" Or which one? Nima, there are too many, who can tell the difference... ・・・”

Lian Zining remembered a few princes who were particularly famous and powerful, and he couldn't remember the rest.

But no matter which master comes, it's not something you can afford to provoke, it's better to stand aside honestly.

But he didn't expect that he didn't want to find trouble, but trouble came to him.

Lian Zining honestly stood aside with his head down, the footsteps gradually approached, but suddenly stopped in front of him, Lian Zining saw a few shadows stop in front of him, and then a voice came: "You are Lian Zining?" ”

Lian Zining smiled bitterly, raised his head, and saw that the young man was looking at him with a smile, looking very happy.

He hurriedly bent over, saluted respectfully, and said: "The lower official is Lian Zining, the lower official has been running around all the year round, and he has never seen all His Royal Highnesses, I don't know which prince is in front of him?" Please also ask Your Highness to atone for your sins. "Uncle Zhenlian, this is ・・・・・・"

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay!" As soon as the little eunuch next to him opened his mouth to say something, the young man waved his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "I'm the old thirteen!" ”

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of the Valley, and the officials were polite." Lian Zining said respectfully.

It turned out that this young man was Zhu Zai, the king of the thirteenth son of the Holy Thirteen Sons of the Valley.

(Can you complain?) The name of the old Zhu family is really exquisite, the words of the generation in the middle have long been stipulated, and the first batch of princes have given twenty words, so that future generations can name according to this, and they think about it in the long run. And you have to pay attention to the order of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, the third word in the name of Zhengde's generation has the side of the fire department, and in his son's life, it has to be the side of the earth department Nima...... I almost accidentally got the wrong name.,For the sake of me being so professional.,Give a little reward)....,

The king of the valley was originally the title of Zhu, the nineteenth son of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, and its fief was in Xuanfu, one of the nine towns of the Great Wall, so the place belonged to Shanggu County in the Qin and Han dynasties, so it was called the king of the valley. Later, in the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops to appease, and a few years later, the troops approached Nanjing. Zhu Ying, the king of the valley, was edicted by Emperor Jianwen, and led 3,000 troops to Beijing to protect Jin丨, and in the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di led Yan soldiers to cross the river and plan to attack outside the Jinchuan Gate. Zhu saw that the general trend had gone to open the southern city to welcome the king's surrender. After King Yan succeeded to the throne, he remembered Zhu Xiancheng's meritorious service and sealed Zhu to be stationed in Changsha. Give music to the local music, 3,000 guards, and 2,000 stones.

After Zhu stationed in Changsha, he made meritorious contributions to welcoming Chengzu into Jinchuan, and his actions were even more arrogant and domineering. He was killed by being loyal to Boru without paying homage to Zhu; Changsha Shi Lu Tinggang once sued Zhu for "seizing people's land, embezzling public taxes, and killing innocents". What's more, Zhu wantonly looted people's wealth, recruited troops to buy empty and sell horses, appointed lieutenants, built warships and crossbows, trained sailor Daniel Zhang, and vainly tried to pull his maternal brother Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, to form an alliance and rebel and overthrow Chengzu Zhu Di. Because of the responsibility of the king of Shu, it did not succeed.

After the matter was revealed, Yu Yongle was abolished as a concubine in the fifteenth year, and the feudal country was also abolished.

After that, the title of the king of the valley has been vacant, until the thirty-seventh year of Zhengde, the thirteenth prince reached adulthood at the age of sixteen, and was named the king of the valley, and the fief is still in Xuanfu Town, let the prince guard the nine-sided town, Zhengde also wants them to forge and hone.

Lian Zining's mind immediately flashed the information of the thirteen princes, but what he knew was indeed limited, think about it, a foreign minister, who was not very high-status before, what can he do to collect the information of the prince?

I only remember that the rumors say that the king of the valley is tall and strong, has a hearty temperament, and his martial arts are also very good, he can tame strong horses, he can pull hard skills, and he is very brave, and it is said that he once shot a black bear in the Shanhaiguan hunting ground. Because the emperor likes military affairs, he also likes the king of the valley very much, and many of the generals in the court are supporters of the king of the valley.

"Lian Zining, you are very good! King Gu suddenly laughed and patted Lian Zining's shoulder vigorously.

"Okay? How is it good? "Lian Zining asked him to tell him that the clouds and mountains were foggy and he couldn't figure out what the situation was, and he said in his heart I haven't had any dealings with you, what's the matter? This master isn't crazy, right?

Lian Zining said with a smile: "Hehe, His Royal Highness the King of the Valley said this, the lower officials don't understand it a little!" ”

"Oh, yes, forget, forget, you're a foreign minister, and you don't know much about our nonsense!" King Gu patted his head and laughed: "Sun Yanzhi's old thing, you did it, right?" Hehe, he's the second one, and Xu Pengju, he's friendly with the fourth, uh-huh, you understand? Haha, I have to thank you! Don't you see the stinky faces of the second and fourth children! ”

He said unscrupulously here, and Lian Zining was shocked into a cold sweat at the moment.

Of course, Lian Zining understood what he meant, although Sun Yanzhi and Xu Pengju both had a way to die, ?p>p

Sheath stool Zhai Yan and leech about dry brain inverted Shi Nuo Gu ǖ mold suffocation aluminum reef 鋕 ship Huan Hail Hui read the hair Po Xi Huan perch Tan Gong but χ blank wound knife front Feng about the nuclear Ting? p>

As soon as these two people are finished, won't they weaken the strength of the second prince and the fourth prince, and obviously, His Royal Highness the King of the Valley in front of him doesn't deal with those two very much・・・・・・

"But, if that's the case!" Lian Zining was shocked to think, didn't he offend the second prince and the fourth prince unconsciously?

Nima, unknowingly offended the two great gods!

Now the crown prince's position is undecided, because the queen Li no longer has a second heir, and the queen mother likes this daughter-in-law very much. Since the primogeniture inheritance system has no effect, then anyone can be made the crown prince, so the hearts of all the princes are hot, and the open and secret battles between each other are also extremely fierce. …,

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, when there is a crown prince, the prince will be released from the palace when he is a little older, build a palace, and live in the palace. Then, when he reaches adulthood, he will divide his fiefdom and make him go to other places to become a vassal king. and became a vassal king, if he did not receive the holy decree, he was not allowed to enter Beijing casually in this life, otherwise he would be punished for rebellion.

But the current situation is a bit special, the prince has not been established, and the emperor has not said what to do, these princes can't be released from the capital! Therefore, the underage princes all lived in the palace and were raised by the concubines, and the adult princes all built their palaces in the capital. There are too many princes in Zhengde's dynasty, and twenty-seven adult princes are really bad.

Lian Zining smiled bitterly: "Xiaguan understands!" However, those two are both dead, but they are not the credit of the lower officials. ”

"Alright, don't be modest!" King Gu patted Lian Zining on the shoulder again: "I heard what Xiao Linzi said, my father is going to summon you today, and this king won't bother!" Set a time, so on, tomorrow, this king will invite you to drink! ”

"Huh?" Lian Zining was taken aback and hesitated: "His Royal Highness the King of the Valley, this, it's not suitable, right?" ”

"It's not suitable, what's not suitable? Why, you don't give face to this king? When King Gu heard this, he immediately frowned, and his voice became a little cold.

The king of the valley is good at martial arts, and his temperament is also a little irritable and irritable, and he will turn his face when he says it, without any warning.

This kind of person is easy to deal with, if he is your subordinate or at the same level as you, you are insidious, he is irritable, and you can easily cripple him. But if he's your superior, and he's the superior you can't afford to mess with, then it's really a whimper.
