Gu Dayong responded to the order, and immediately sent someone to convey Zhu Houzhao's will, and then said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, these people around you have been carefully selected, if Your Majesty is not at ease, you may as well ask Shao Zhenren to accompany you these days." ”

Saying that, Gu Dayong saluted Shao Yuanjie and said: "Shao Zhenren, you are a master of the Tao, it is said that you should not be disturbed, but you have also seen that there are still people who dare to deal with the dragon in the belly of the queen's mother, and the slave is really afraid that someone will be unfavorable to Your Majesty, so many people, your Majesty can trust those who think about it, and only real people are the most suitable." ”

Shao Yuanjie is a Taoist master, and his cultivation has won Chu Yizhi's praise, which Zhu Houzhao knows, but in Zhu Houzhao's heart, he subconsciously forgot that Shao Yuanjie is a martial arts powerhouse.

Now when I heard Gu Dayong say this, my eyes suddenly lit up, and my eyes fell on Shao Yuanjie and said: "If there is a real person to accompany me, I can rest assured." ”

Shao Yuanjie bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty bears the weight of all the people, and the old Taoist should do everything he can to protect His Majesty's safety." ”

Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, I thank the real person." ”

After a deep sigh, Zhu Hou glanced at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Daban, you go and ask Eunuch Qin An to go to Kunning Palace to sit in town, and tell him that if there is any accident with the queen, I will ask for his head." ”

Gu Da had a look on his face, Qin An was the first person to reach the innate realm by cultivating the Sunflower Treasure Book in Ouchi, many years earlier than Chu Yi.

At the beginning, Lu Wenyang rebelled, and Zhu Han entered the palace to assassinate the Son of Heaven, which was captured by Qin An, but Qin An was already over ninety years old, and he was low-key, so he was just a big eunuch in the palace, of course, no matter the governors in the palace, no one dared to be disrespectful to him.

Even if it is the Son of Heaven, if it is not necessary, he will not alarm this Dinghai Divine Needle sitting in Ouchi.

Zhu Houzhao did not recruit Qin An to escort him, but instead ordered him to protect the queen, which shows that Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to the queen and the dragon in her belly.

Even though Zhu Houzhao had ordered that the news of the attack on the queen should not be spread, more than one person knew about it, unless Zhu Houzhao could kill all those who knew about it, otherwise, it was inevitable that the news would be spread.

Sure enough, in less than three days, the queen was attacked, and the news that the dragon in her belly was almost unprotected spread, which immediately caused shock to the government and the opposition.

The Son of Heaven has a queen, for most courtiers, it is naturally a fortunate thing, because when the Son of Heaven has a queen, this means that the royal inheritance is orderly, and there will be no unpredictable chaos because of the inheritance of the emperor.

Just like Zhu Houzhao had no children under his knees before, and the harem concubines had nothing to do, this is absolutely abnormal for a normal dynasty, that is, Zhu Houzhao is still young, if Zhu Houzhao is over forty years old and still has no children, then the court is afraid that there will be turmoil.

Now in the Forbidden City, there is news that the queen has been attacked, and the dragon in her belly is almost unprotected, which naturally provokes the boiling of hundreds of officials.

The royal family is selfless, and this is not false at all.

Although it is said that the queen was attacked, and the courtiers and other things have nothing to do with it, but this matter is related to the royal heirs, these ministers have written for a while, one begging the Son of Heaven to investigate thoroughly, be sure to find out who wants to be unfavorable to the queen, and on the other hand, it is to write to the Son of Heaven, imploring the Son of Heaven to draft to enrich the harem and reproduce the royal heirs.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao sat there, and at the head of it, Jiao Fang, the first assistant of the cabinet, sat upright on the seat and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, now all the civil and military officials have written to him, and I implore Your Majesty to draft a draft to enrich the harem......"

Zhu Houzhao frowned, if it was in the past, with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, there would be no reluctance, but under the influence of Chu Yi, coupled with Shao Yuanjie's more than once persuasion of him to be temperate, as he gets older, for many reasons, Zhu Houzhao is no longer so obsessed with women.

However, Zhu Houzhao also knew in his heart that there were only three or two concubines in his harem, which was indeed relatively less, and it was no wonder that the civil and military officials would write a letter and implore him for the draft to enrich the harem.

The royal lineage, since the first emperor, only he is such a son, for him, there is not even a brother, it can be said that people are withering, which is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Waving his hand, Zhu Hou glanced at Jiao Fang and said: "What the elder said is very true, I will allow this matter, but I have already recruited Chu's companion to return to Beijing, and it is expected that in a few days, the companion will return to Beijing, and then this matter will be handed over to the companion to preside." ”

Jiao Fang was slightly stunned when he heard this, his face showed a little joy, and he stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao pushed forward the stack of pieces on the table and said, "The elder may wish to take a look at these pieces." ”

At this time, the little eunuch who was serving on the side hurriedly stepped forward and presented the stack of concertos to Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang's eyes fell on these concertos, and read them one by one, his brows gradually tightened.

After reading all the chapters, Jiao Fang said with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty, the Jianyang Zhu family is a descendant of Zhu Zi, and has a great influence among the people of the world and even among the civil and military officials. ”

Zhu Houzhao's face was cold, he slapped on the table, and snorted coldly: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, Zhu Zi is respected by them as a sage, and I can't care about it, but the descendants of Zhu Zi, thanks to Zhu Zi's legacy, look at what these so-called sage descendants have done, rampant in the township, erecting court officials, and even assassinating the Son of Heaven, they have done it, is this the descendant taught by the sage?" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao knocked on the table and said: "These civil and military officials of mine have written to me one by one to ask me to forgive the Zhu family, this is a great crime of rebellion, if I forgive, then when someone assassinates me, I will have to forgive!" ”

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's angry appearance, Jiao Fang stepped forward and bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty is angry, and the old minister is panicking!" ”

venting the anger in his heart, looking at Jiao Fang who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Houzhao stepped forward, put one hand behind his back, and said lightly with the other: "Elder Ge, get up, I don't blame you, but I am disappointed in these courtiers who have written to implore the Zhu family, in their eyes, my safety is not as good as those so-called descendants of the sages......

Jiao Fang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't say that, in fact, most people still distinguish right from wrong and support Your Majesty and the Grand Administrator, of course, it is the person who wrote the book, and some of them are also for Your Majesty and the Grand Administrator, after all, the Zhu family's influence is too great, and if it is really killed, it will inevitably cause the scholars to boil." ”

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, and waved his long sleeves and said: "The letter from the Great Companion once said, for these people, the Great Companion advised me not to care too much, I should be killed, if I am pardoned, where will the royal face remain, where is the majesty of me!" ”

Jiao Fang sighed lightly, with Chu Yi's temperament, he naturally would not be moved by the pressure of the ministers, obviously Chu Yi had long expected such a situation.

Even if you think about it deeply, Chu Yi sent the people of the Zhu family to Beijing to ask for guilt, why not use the Zhu family to knock the mountain and shock the tiger.

Taking a deep breath, Jiao Fang saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Since the chief manager and His Majesty have made up their minds, the old minister will admonish those who do not distinguish between right and wrong. ”

Zhu Houzhao patted Jiao Fang on the shoulder and said, "I know, but this matter is bothering the elder pavilion, but for those stubborn people, the elder doesn't have to care, I want to see if in the hearts of these people, whether their sage is important, or my face is more important." ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Jiao Fang sighed lightly in his heart, it seems that the Son of Heaven has made up his mind this time, and even if the old stubborns in the court are still working against the Son of Heaven on this matter, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will not give up.

After returning to the table and sitting down, Zhu Hou glanced at Jiao Fang and said: "By the way, there is one thing, I forgot, didn't the news of the old companion of the Ming Pavilion increase the commercial tax and mining tax spread out, I don't know how the minister of the DPRK and the central government reacted to this?" ”

Jiao Fang couldn't help but smile a little bitterly when he heard this, did he want to tell the Son of Heaven that as soon as the news came out, the officials of the DPRK and China were almost boiling, if it weren't for the news that he had quietly spread, neither the Son of Heaven nor Chu Yi had yet expressed a trace of it, but he was afraid that the civil and military officials would have written a book to admonish him directly.

Compared with the destruction of the Zhu family, the imperial court's desire to increase taxes such as commercial tax and mining tax is a major thing that really touches the nerves of the civil and military officials above the court.

Just as the so-called thousands of miles of officials are only for money, this dynasty Chinese martial arts, which one is not behind the large and small families, all kinds of business operators, but few people take the so-called commercial taxes and the like to heart, and no one will obediently pay taxes.

If it is really necessary to increase the commercial tax at that time, it will inevitably touch the interests of these people, and the northern land is not enough, the royal deterrent, there is a capital army inside, and there is a border army outside, but it can't afford to turn up any storms.

However, in the south, commerce is prosperous, and people with a huge net worth will not obediently take out the white silver from their pockets and hand it over to the imperial court.

Jiao Fang could think that those above the court who were born in the south or were directly implicated in Jiangnan would definitely jump out to oppose the increase in commercial taxes.

Although Jiao Fang did not speak, just looking at Jiao Fang's expression, Zhu Houzhao knew that Zhu Houzhao was not a mediocre and unscrupulous king, under the influence of Chu Yi, although he was not diligent, but he also had a certain understanding of this court and even the world.

Even Chu Yi first tested the reactions of all parties through Jiao Fang's rumors, if it was really so easy to raise taxes, then the monarchs of the Ming Dynasty would probably have already implemented it, and it would not be their turn to make every effort of the monarchs and ministers.
