Chapter 509: Emperor Collapse Nine

Qiu Ju fell to his knees with a thud, not daring to say anything. Empress Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Call me." ”

Immediately, two healthy women rushed out, clamped Qiu Ju, pressed Qiu Ju to the ground, and two water and fire sticks hit Qiu Ju hard.

Poor Qiu Ju is also forty-two years old, where can he afford such a heavy beating, and immediately shouted in a heap.

This is the difference between identity and identity, in the face of Yang Tinghe, although Qiu Ju is polite but relies on Zhengde, there is still a bit of a taste of resistance, but when facing the Empress Dowager Zhang, no matter how the Empress Dowager Zhang punishes Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju does not dare to resist, so he can only accept his fate.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is still sick, and I can't help my father-in-law Qiu to serve you, and the queen mother will punish you with a small punishment." A soft and weak voice came out, and the person who spoke was none other than Queen Xia.

Speaking of which, Queen Xia is also a first-class beauty. Otherwise, you won't stand out in the draft. It's just that I don't know why I can't match Zhengde, Zhengde doesn't like Queen Xia, and almost never touches her, Queen Xia is simply a widow in the palace.

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't beat Qiu Ju to death. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain when Zhengde wakes up. However, he reprimanded sharply: "If the emperor has three long and two short, Qiu Ju will wait for you to be buried." ”

Qiu Ju trembled all over his body and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia entered Zhengde's bedroom, but saw Zhengde lying inside the screen, and Yang Tinghe guarding outside. Yang Tinghe saw that the Empress Dowager Zhang was coming, and immediately saluted: "Minister Yang Tinghe to meet the Empress Dowager and the queen." ”

Yang Tinghe is an old minister, when Emperor Hongzhi was there, he often went in and out of the palace, and Empress Dowager Zhang knew him.

Empress Dowager Zhang first looked at Zhengde's side for a while, and asked Yang Tinghe softly: "Mr. Yang, I don't know how the emperor's condition is?" ”

Yang Tinghe bowed down and said, "Your Majesty's body is not in any serious condition, you just need to rest well." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "During this period of time, Your Majesty's body is sick, so it will be more troublesome for Mr. Yang to preside over the overall situation."

"This is the duty of the minister, and the Queen Mother does not need to be praised. There is only one thing that the minister needs to tell the Queen Mother. Yang Tinghe said.

"I, Mr. Yang is an important minister of the state, what do you have to say to me, an old woman?" Empress Dowager Zhang said.

If he could, Yang Tinghe was unwilling to pull the Empress Dowager Zhang into the court, just because the Empress Dowager Zhang was not a peaceful person. There are two main contradictions between Zhengde and Empress Dowager Zhang, and Empress Dowager Zhang chose Empress Xia for Zhengde on her own initiative. The second is because of the two brothers of the Empress Dowager Zhang. These two brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that all the bad things have been done, but what bad things have not been done by the two of them, they can't remember it for a while.

And the reason why these two people were able to do evil was because of the protection of Empress Dowager Zhang, and when Emperor Hongzhi was there, there were conflicts because of the problem of the two uncles. When Zhengde ascended the throne, he was eager to kill these two uncles, so his relationship with Empress Dowager Zhang became more and more stiff.

But now Yang Tinghe must get the support of the Queen Mother in order to suppress Zhengde.

Yang Tinghe looked left and right, Empress Dowager Zhang understood what this meant, she waved her hand lightly and drove away all the servants in the house. Only Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia remained. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Yang Tinghe still opened the doors and windows so that the outside could see the inside.

When the surroundings were cleared, Yang Tinghe knelt on the ground and said, "The Daming Jiangshan Society is in danger, please save the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang immediately picked up Yang Tinghe and said, "Where do you say this? ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty fainted in front of everyone, this news cannot be kept secret at all, but Your Majesty has no children, once the mountain collapses, how will the Ming Dynasty deal with itself." ”

Empress Dowager Zhang paused heavily on the crutches in her hand and said, "Lord Yang, how can you say that?" ”

Yang Tinghe knelt on the ground and said: "The minister deserves death, but now he is risking death and speaking bluntly, please make plans for the Queen Mother as soon as possible." ”

"Planning, I'm a woman, what should I do? What's there to plan. Empress Dowager Zhang said: "You go and tell the emperor this." ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Even if the Queen Mother doesn't think about the Ming Dynasty, she has to think about the Queen for the sake of this?" The queen is not liked by His Majesty, so far there is no out, the Queen Mother is in one day, can shelter the Queen for one day, once the Queen Mother is not there, how His Majesty will treat Queen Xia, I don't want to know. ”

Yang Tinghe's words moved the Empress Dowager Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang learned some lessons and didn't pay much attention to things outside the palace, but she couldn't care less about Queen Xia.

She likes this daughter-in-law in her heart, otherwise she would not be able to override public opinion, even if Zhengde doesn't like it, she was also made the queen, in the past ten years, Zhengde has been in the leopard room, and the days of returning to the palace are numbered. In the deep palace, that is, Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia depend on each other. Therefore, if Empress Dowager Zhang finds a way for Queen Xia for the rest of her life.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "What are you asking the mourning family to do?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Please ask the Queen Mother to urge Your Majesty to raise the children of the clan in the palace, and they can be raised by Empress Xia." ”

Queen Xia had a sense of eagerness to try. Motherhood is something a woman is born with. Queen Xia has thought countless times that if she wants a child, as long as there is a child who is happy on her knees, she doesn't care if Zhengde comes or not, but every time she thinks about it, she feels deep despair, because she knows that with Zhengde's attitude towards him, she will never think about any children in her life.

At this moment, she was happy to be able to adopt a child.

Empress Dowager Zhang heard the sound of the strings, if Zhengde has no son, this adopted child is the next emperor, then Empress Xia has a lifelong hope, even if Zhengde has a child later, because this child was once raised in the palace, unlike other sect disciples, maybe he can get a throne. Queen Xia can also go over to live.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Okay, the mourning family promised you." ”

Yang Tinghe slowly breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that Empress Dowager Zhang did not put herself as the mother of a country at all, but was like a farmer, a fly camp dog. But Yang Tinghe could only persuade Zhengde in this way, and let Mrs. Zhang deal with Zhengde later.

Zhengde slept for a long time, and after sleeping for three days, he slowly woke up. However, as soon as Zhengde opened his eyes, he saw that the person he didn't want to see was Yang Tinghe, Empress Dowager Zhang, Xu Tai and others were there. With the Empress Dowager Zhang here, even if he has a heart knot with the Empress Dowager Zhang. But after all, it was his mother, who struggled to get up and salute, and said, "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang held Zhengde down and said, "Emperor, your illness is not yet cured, what can you do?" It's okay to let others do the things of sacrificing to the sky, so be careful about your body. ”

Zhengde hasn't felt the care from his mother for a long time, as if he doesn't know when, when he talks to Empress Dowager Zhang, it's the matter of Empress Xia, it's the matter of the two uncles, and he hasn't said anything else.

Maybe it was because Zhengde was sick and when his body became weak, his spirit also became weak, and he was slightly moved and said: "After thanking the mother, the child will pay attention, there is no next time." ”

"There are some things, it's not that the queen mother has to talk more, but for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the queen mother still has to say more, or adopt a child from a side branch to the palace." Empress Dowager Zhang also spoke to her son cautiously, she was afraid that Zhengde would misunderstand her, so she immediately added: "Of course, the queen mother also wants to hold her grandson, but isn't this grandson for a while?" Bring it in first, and then send it out of the palace if there is one, it's a big deal to give the child a prince, and it can be regarded as worthy of him. ”

Zhengde glanced at Yang Tinghe, and immediately understood that his mother was moved by Yang Tinghe's words. Zhengde felt a little tired in his heart, he said: "Queen Mother, if the child has a son in his life, needless to say, if he has no child in his life, but he doesn't want to adopt a son, the country has a long monarch, and the blessing of the society is also, so the child is ready to pass on the position to his cousin,---"

Empress Dowager Zhang's face immediately felt a little wrong. Zhengde instantly figured out that raising an adopted son is a succession, if it is passed on to his cousin, wouldn't it be that Emperor Hongzhi is in the same vein, which is absolutely unacceptable to Empress Dowager Zhang. What a curse it is to cut off children and grandchildren.
