Chapter 440: The Empress is in a hurry
Several Tatar nobles and even Dayan Khan who accompanied Balsborot looked at Balsborot with a look of consternation.
These people were very surprised, they really couldn't imagine that Balsborough would say such things in front of Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi.
Don't say that Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao get along with each other, even if there is any dirt between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, it is not something they can put their beaks on, especially when Balsborough actually appeared in front of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, this is simply a provocation to Zhu Houzhao.
Especially at this time, several nobles looked at Zhu Houzhao with a gloomy face, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad in their hearts, and the fool could see that Zhu Houzhao was angry.
If there is no accident, as prisoners of the Ming Dynasty, with their status and status, it is obviously impossible for them to return to the prairie, but according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will not abuse them much, if they are lucky enough, they may be given a title to spend the rest of their lives in the Ming Dynasty.
Originally, after all, what their future days will be depends on the mood of the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven is in a good mood, then they will not be treated too badly in the future, if the Son of Heaven is in a very bad mood, then it is really hard to say what will happen to them.
Several eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao's body in unison, and at the same time, a leader said to Balsborot: "Prince Borot, don't you apologize to Your Majesty and His Royal Highness King Wu......"
Balsborot glanced at the Tatar nobles with disdain, and said with a sneer: "Is this prince wrong? The day of the Ming Dynasty's rise to peace is the death of the cunning rabbit, and when the lackey cooks, the more merits he Chu Yi makes, the faster his death will come, and no emperor will allow his subordinates to have a courtier who has enough ability to elevate him or even threaten his throne. ”
The others around them subconsciously took a few steps back, widening the distance between them and Balsborot, and at the same time lowered their heads one by one, wishing that a crack could be made in the ground at this time, so that they could hide.
When I hear such words, my heart is beating wildly.
It's really Balsborough's words that are too damaging, especially when he provokes the relationship between Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven so frantically, it really makes people can't help but pinch a cold sweat for him.
Chu Yi sighed lightly, looked at Balsborough and said, "Since Prince Bals is bent on death, then please ask Your Majesty to make thousands of Bals princes." ”
Zhu Houzhao's expression was very ugly, and he felt that his good mood was destroyed by Balsborough all of a sudden, even if Chu Yi didn't mention it, Zhu Houzhao would definitely not let Balsborough go so easily.
Taking a deep breath, I heard Zhu Houzhao look at Balsborough coldly and said: "Spread my will, put Balsborough in the prison, and three days later, ask outside the noon gate to behead!" ”
Balsborot glanced at Chu Yi, his expression was calm, and he didn't show any surprise, obviously he had expected such an experience.
Rushing to come, but when he went back, he was in a very bad mood, except for Zhu Houzhao who barely had a smile when talking to Chu Yi, as for other times, Zhu Houzhao couldn't see a trace of a smile on his face at all.
The huge Luan drove slowly forward, Chu Yi sat on top of the Luan driver, looked at Zhu Houzhao's expression and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, why should you see the same person who wants to die. ”
Zhu Houzhao glanced up at Chu Yi and said, "Companion, you said that Balsborough can obviously live, why did you knowingly commit a crime and seek death?" ”
Obviously, Zhu Houzhao couldn't understand why Balsborough was bent on begging for death, wasn't it good to live?
Chu Yi has some understanding of Balsborot, as the most prestigious existence on the grassland except for Dayan Khan, if there is no surprise, once Dayan Khan returns to heaven, then Balsborot will inevitably inherit the position of Dayan Khan and become a new generation of Khan on the grassland in one fell swoop.
That is to say, Baalsborot had a great future, and even the future Khan of the steppe, who could be on an equal footing with the great emperor, but in a big defeat, Balsborough lost everything, and even his personal freedom would be completely lost.
Like Dayan Khan, the whole person is old, and after losing the first battle, he has long lost the spirit of heroism, but he is more able to accept this earth-shaking change than others.
Balsborough is apparently aware that his future will be confined to the capital division, and he may even be secretly imprisoned in a mansion without the slightest possession.
The high-spirited Balsborough couldn't accept this result at all, so he would knowingly make a mistake and deliberately stimulate Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, all he wanted was to die cleanly, he didn't want to become the pet of the great tomorrow in the future, so he would take it out to promote the military might of the Ming Dynasty.
Think about the Han Dynasty, the most famous in history is Jieli Khan, Jieli Khan was defeated by the Tang Dynasty, Taizong Li Shimin was named the general of the right guard, and treated him with high-ranking officials, but although Jieli Khan has a respected status, he was not pulled out by the Tang Dynasty when he summoned foreign envoys and ordered him to sing and dance.
Balsborough obviously couldn't accept this result, so he would rather provoke the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi and ask for a happy death.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard Chu Yi's explanation: "Just executing him like this, it's really cheap for him, if not, I will definitely let him live well, and then every time there is a celebration, I will let this little prince come out to sing and dance for everyone to increase the atmosphere." ”
The mighty convoy returned to the Forbidden City, and before it arrived at the Forbidden City, he suddenly saw a team of fast horses galloping over, led by Gu Dayong, the chief eunuch who stayed in the Forbidden City.
I saw that Du Li, the servant, saw a bright light in his eyes when he saw the Son of Heaven Luan driving from a distance, turned over and dismounted, and bowed down loudly: "Slave Du Li, the order of the head of the valley is here to ask to see Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but wonder: "Oh, Du Li, is there something going on in the palace!" ”
He just went out of the palace to offer prisoners to the Taimiao, although it took time, but the time was also abundant, it is said that it is unlikely that anything will happen in the palace at this time, but Gu Dayong sent Du Li to report, obviously something happened in the palace.
"Du Li, if Your Majesty asks you, you can say whatever you have!"
Du Li glanced at Chu Yi, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu, Queen Mother...... She's probably going to give birth! ”
"What!"
Zhu Houzhao exclaimed, his face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but say with a little excitement: "Spread my will, return to the palace immediately!" ”
The corners of Chu Yi's mouth curled slightly, the queen was about to give birth, which was naturally the most important thing for Zhu Houzhao.
If Zhu Houzhao has many heirs under his knees, then it is okay, Zhu Houzhao, as the emperor, may not react so much.
After all, in the years since Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne, there were not a few concubines and even palace maids he favored, even if there were not a hundred, there were eighty.
However, none of the concubines and even palace maids are pregnant, if it weren't for the previous conditioning, I am afraid that Zhu Houzhao would still have no heirs at this time.
Zhu Houzhao, who was excited, couldn't help but hold Chu Yi's hand, and said with a little excitement: "Big companion, my emperor is about to be born, and I have a queen!" ”
Chu Yi smiled slightly and comforted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty is deeply blessed, and the reproduction of heirs should not be a problem......
Zhu Houzhao said quite nervously: "Big companion, do you say that the queen gave birth to me this time is a princess or a prince?" ”
Chu Yi said slowly: "It would be great if the queen could give birth to a dragon son, but even if the queen gave birth to a princess, it is also royal blood, and Your Majesty should treat everyone equally." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded thoughtfully, for an existence that has almost been judged to be unable to have an heir, to be able to have his own heir, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, it is something worth celebrating.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao grabbed Chu Yi's hand and said to Chu Yi with a little nervousness: "Big companion, you go back to the palace with me." ”
The queen is in Kunning Palace, and the Kunning Palace at this moment is full of a tense atmosphere, and a famous palace maid and chamberlain are low-eyed and pleasing to the eye at the moment, and they dare not stand at the door of a palace.
There were screams from the palace, and when Chu Yi was pulled by Zhu Houzhao and appeared outside the palace, the Queen Mother, who had already received the news, grabbed Zhu Houzhao, who wanted to rush into the palace, and said, "Don't worry, the emperor!" ”
The delivery room has always been regarded as a place of filth of flesh and blood, and many people are reluctant to approach, even if Zhu Houzhao wants to enter at this time, he will be stopped.
Listening to the queen's screams coming from the room, Zhu Houzhao was naturally quite anxious in his heart, and took Chu Yi's hand and said nervously: "Big companion, when will my heir be born!" ”
Chu Yi really didn't think that Zhu Houzhao would have such a cute side, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, if the minister is as expected, the queen will definitely be able to give birth to a dragon son smoothly!" ”
Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi quite puzzled.
I only heard Chu Yi say: "Your Majesty, listen, the queen's voice is loud and full of energy, if there is no accident, everything should be safe and sound." ”
More than an hour passed, and in the room, the queen, who had a loud voice before, became hoarse at this time, and even listening to the voice, you could hear that the queen was exhausted.
Suddenly, a loud cry was heard, only the baby's cry was heard, and outside the delivery room in Kunning Palace, Zhu Houzhao, the Queen Mother and others were all relieved.
I heard a squeak, and I saw a stable woman holding an ugly-looking baby with a happy face and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the queen mother gave birth to a dragon son." ”
"Longzi, hahaha, there is someone to succeed me!"
Zhu Houzhao thought that's what he wanted, the result was really as good as he wanted, and the emperor really gave birth to a dragon son.
For a long time, it has been rumored that Zhu Houzhao favored the traitorous ministers, so that there was no queen, and for the people of the people, the emperor had no queen, which was naturally more eye-catching.
In the face of these rumors, even if Zhu Houzhao is the Son of Heaven, there is no better way, so the only thing that can break the rumors in the market is the facts.
As long as Zhu Houzhao's concubines can give birth to a dragon son, then the rumors about Zhu Houzhao's mediocrity and desperation will be self-defeating.
Now that the queen has given birth to a dragon son, she only needs the Son of Heaven to announce it to the world, and when the time comes, the whole world will know about it, and the previous rumors will naturally have no market.
The Queen Mother even folded her hands and recited scriptures, as if she was praying for the queen and the newly-born prince.
Soon Zhu Houzhao walked into a room and saw several palace maids carefully waiting for a baby, who was munching in the nurse's arms.
Seeing the baby, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile a little, his eyes fell on Chu Yi and said, "Big companion, come and see, I, the eldest son of the emperor, is it quite a bit of imperial prestige?" ”
Zhu Houzhao was obviously in a very good mood, and he was also very excited, and couldn't help but say.
Chu Yi looked at the little prince who was regarded by Zhu Hou as the successor of the next emperor as soon as he was born, and shook his head slightly.
Noticing the change in Chu Yi's expression, Zhu Houzhao said: "Doesn't the eldest companion think that I, the emperor, are not qualified to inherit the unification?" ”
For Chu Yi's opinion, Zhu Houzhao still attaches great importance to it, if Chu Yi says which prince is not suitable to inherit the position of the Son of Heaven, then Zhu Houzhao will definitely not despise it.
The queen, who was lying on the bed, weak and full of happiness, was lying there at this moment, and her beautiful eyes were completely on the little baby who was held in the arms of the nurse.
If nothing else, this baby is her life's dependence, if one day, this baby can successfully ascend to the throne, then she will be the noble queen mother.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the conversation between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao, and immediately attracted the queen's attention.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
This is not false at all, the queen has always kept a sufficient distance from Chu Yi, and even her father and even brother were forced by Chu Yi to stay away from the Jingshi, and the queen also suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.
However, this time it was different, it was related to her child's future, and it was naturally impossible for the queen to treat Chu Yi's words as if she hadn't heard them.
I only heard the queen look at Chu Yi with a solemn expression and said, "Manager Chu, I don't know if there is anything wrong with this child in the concubine?" The emperor is both a son-in-law and the eldest son, as the eldest son, he will be the crown prince in the future, why does the governor of Chu say that the emperor has no imperial prestige? ”
Looking at the queen's excited appearance and posture, if he didn't give the queen an explanation, he was afraid that the queen would jump up and fight with herself.
