Shilin's Qing discussion intensified, and at the beginning it was only a small group of people who spread the word, but after a few months, the emperor still had no news, so there were more such discussions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the news reached the palace, Empress Dowager Zhang was surprisingly silent, obviously, she acquiesced to this kind of remarks.

What was placed in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang was nothing more than two remarks, the former was that the current emperor was deaf and only cared about his own amusement regardless of the country, and disappeared as a result. And the latter is obviously much more decent, which is tantamount to comparing this infamous emperor to a great sage like Taber.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang could also hear the meaning of this, after all, she also had to take care of the dignity in the palace and the reputation of the emperor, so she accepted this explanation by mistake.

In fact, I have to say that the person who came up with this kind of rumor behind this is really clever, not only taking care of the decency in the palace, but also achieving his own ambitions, such a person is definitely the top person wherever he is placed.

The palace acquiesced, and the court did not say a word, which clearly meant indulgence, plus the emperor had been missing for too long, and people's hearts were fluctuating, so more remarks appeared, and even some bold people even dared to say some rebellious words, and the remarks could not be controlled, like a flood that opened the mouth, and it was flooding.

Empress Dowager Zhang's mind has been all placed on Princess Taikang's body, her hope has become despair, although she is looking forward to her son's appearance at night, but her son has always had no news at all, so she naturally transferred all her thoughts to the grandson who is about to be born, Princess Taikang is close to giving birth, at this time the palace people are looking forward to the night, hoping that the joy of this birth can dilute the gloom in the palace.

On November 21, Princess Taikang felt the pain in her stomach, and in the evening, the amniotic water broke, and the entire Forbidden City began to be lively.

Empress Dowager Zhang held Princess Taikang's hand tightly in the bedroom and kept saying some comforting words.

You must know that the women of this era are like going to the ghost gate to pass the door, the mortality rate is not low, even if there are such good resources in the palace, it is inevitable that there will be accidents, Empress Dowager Zhang's expression is very nervous, for fear that something will go wrong, she has lost too much, and she must not lose this last bit of expectation, so her voice is shaking when she talks to Princess Taikang, so that Princess Taikang, who endures labor pains, comforts her mother in turn.

Liu Chengfeng once again enjoyed the treatment of hanging baskets, after hearing the news, he entered the palace overnight, of course, he could not be called to enter the palace, he could only be regarded as hanging on the palace wall, and then quickly went to the harem.

At this time, he couldn't take care of any messy rules, and finally arrived at Kunning Palace, but learned that Princess Taikang had begun to give birth, and men naturally wanted to avoid it, so Liu Chengfeng had to sit restlessly in the main hall, and there were many people in this main hall, including those on standby, palace people, and Zhang Yong, who came to listen to orders at any time.

Zhang Yong saw that Liu Chengfeng was in a hurry, so he naturally couldn't help but persuade a few words, and said: "Princess Ji has a heavenly direction, Your Highness doesn't have to worry." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled at him and said, "I've worked hard for you these days." ”

Zhang Yong hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are dead, and they still talk about hard work. ”

He meant something else, what he said was that since he became the eunuch of the palm print of the inner factory, he mobilized all the factory guards, but he didn't even find any trace of the emperor.

Zhang Yong is also worried, once the political enemy catches the handle, it will be dead without a burial, he knows in his heart that the only one who can save himself is His Royal Highness the King of Chu, as long as His Royal Highness the King of Chu goes to the Queen Mother to say a few words for him, he can worry about the future.

It's just that these days, everyone is very busy, so they can't find time to complain, and now taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yong said it cryptically.

Liu Chengfeng sighed and looked at Zhang Yongdao: "It's impossible to talk about death, but there is indeed a suspicion of negligence, do things well, and if things are done well, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Zhang Yong immediately understood what Liu Chengfeng meant, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Xie." ”

"You don't have to thank this king, this king is just talking about things calmly, and this king also knows that you also want to get the emperor back."

Zhang Yongyi's grievances were vented, his tears were blurred, and he said: "After all, the emperor is seen by our family, and this master-slave relationship ...... Hey......" Zhang Yong sighed heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "It's only Liu Jin, this son of a bitch, if you find him, you have to break him into pieces." ”

The two of them talked with each other, and from time to time someone came in and out with a copper basin, and thought it was over several times, Liu Chengfeng almost had to stand up, but when he saw that people lowered their eyebrows and looked good, he sat back honestly with some disappointment in his heart.

An hour later, the clear baby cry finally sounded, Liu Chengfeng seemed to have been pricked by someone, and quickly stood up, someone had already come out to report the good news, and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, it's a prince." ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Who knew that Empress Dowager Zhang came out, after so long, her face finally had a little joy, and said to Liu Chengfeng: "What are you going to do in there?" Let her rest well, it won't help if you go in, stay out honestly. ”

Liu Chengfeng is very sad, this is the result of the mother-in-law's strength, he clearly sees his wife born on TV in later generations, and the father wants to go in to hug the child and comfort his wife, but who knows but is turned away, so he had to say: "Is the mother and son safe?" ”

"Natural peace, this is God blessed, you will stay in the palace tonight, Zhang Yong, you come to entertain the King of Chu, I am afraid that the mourning family will not be able to sleep tonight."

Liu Chengfeng was speechless, what was this, but he had to say: "The Queen Mother also has to rest early." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and turned in.

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to pout at Zhang Yongnunu helplessly and said, "Find a place to live." ”

Zhang Yong nodded, and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo.

This night, there was no sleep in the palace, whether it was pretending or sincere, it was full of joy, and the news spread quickly, and the cabinet ministers who entered the palace early the next morning heard the news.

Although he knew that his father-in-law was going to give birth, when he knew that Liu Chengfeng had given birth to a son, Jiao Fang's whole person took on a new look.

Of course, he knows what this means, the queen mother has such an emperor's grandson, and the position of the king of Chu is even more consolidated, and the king of Chu is now closely related to him, and his position will naturally be consolidated.

At the moment, the bad news is getting worse than the other, Jiao Fang is not a fool, of course he knows what someone is going to do, but he has not put it on the table now, and he can't stop it, and now that there is finally good news, Jiao Fang can naturally be quite happy.

And Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe are different, although they are silent on the surface, but at this time there is a little strange taste in their hearts, when they don't give birth to a son, but they are born at this time, which makes this King of Chu a little more confident, which is really uncomfortable.

Everyone drew up their own tickets, and at noon, they went to the ear room to eat refreshments as before, Yang Tinghe was already impatient as soon as he entered, and said to Li Dongyang: "Liu Chengfeng's holy family is getting bigger and bigger, and the palace will definitely trust him more and more from now on, and if this goes on for a long time, it will not be a big trouble, Li Gong, it's time to do it." ”

Li Dongyang twisted his beard, sighed and said: "Also, it's best to settle the matter before the year, and after the decision is made, everyone will have a good New Year, what does King Anlu mean?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "I have sent someone to test it, His Royal Highness's meaning is very clear, and he also knows what the situation is at this time, so as long as there is a will, he will never shirk and immediately take the road to Beijing." ”

Li Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was that the night was long and dreamy, in general, even if the queen mother had a decree, the vassal king should repeatedly refuse, so as to show that he did not covet it, but now it is not more than usual, it is better to agree as soon as possible, and then enter Beijing to ascend the throne, as long as he can ascend the throne, everything will be over.

Yang Tinghe said: "Now I am afraid that the King of Chu will strongly oppose it." ”

Li Dongyang smiled slightly, and said: "The most important thing is the Queen Mother, as long as the Queen Mother makes a decree, when the world returns to the heart, no one can find fault with anything, Ming said you and I will go to see the Queen Mother, explain things clearly, it has been a few months now, and there is no trace of the emperor at all, it is not a way to go on like this, the Queen Mother is also a person who understands the general situation, would she be willing to see that there is no emperor in the court?" Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty belongs to the Zhu family, and the Queen Mother is also a member of the Zhu family, so she can't help but plan for this. As long as you and I are sincere, the Queen Mother will definitely agree, and you and I will be fully prepared in Beijing while immediately notifying His Royal Highness King Anlu. ”

Yang Tinghe nodded approvingly, and said: "But the old man is still not at ease, Liu Chengfeng, that person, until the dust settles, who dares to guarantee that he will not do anything?" According to the old man, this person has a very strong desire for human rights, and he is by no means a person who is waiting to be killed. ”

Li Dongyang said: "It's too much to say that you are waiting to be killed, it's just that the new emperor has ascended the throne, will the new emperor still treat him?" The old man had an idea, in order to appease the King of Chu, once the Queen Mother had a decree, whether to let King An Lu send someone to find the King of Chu to make some gestures, at least let the King of Chu feel more at ease. ”

Yang Tinghe sneered: "How can there be a reason for the Son of Heaven to show favor to his courtiers?" If this precedent is set, won't it lead to chaos in the world? This is a major issue of right and wrong, and we must not rush into it. ”

After Li Dongyang heard this, he no longer insisted, but just sighed and said, "What you said also makes sense." ”
