Chapter 498: The Prince is Born
When Si Tianjian Xu Fengzhang reported to Emperor Jingxing that there was a disaster star, the news of the queen's action came from Kunning Palace.
The queen is pregnant for less than ten months, and the prince in her womb is about to be born early.
This is the first emperor of Emperor Jingxing, and it is the queen of the main palace, which represents the extension of the national glory of Dayong, it stands to reason that Emperor Jingxing is eagerly looking forward to it, but now that this emperor is about to be born, Emperor Jingxing's mood is extremely gloomy.
Because the timing of this birth is so wrong. There is rebellion inside, invasion outside, and catastrophe, and then there is the theory of calamity, how can Emperor Jingxing feel that this soon-to-be-born emperor is ominous.
It was he who said coldly, "I know. ”
The tone did not show any concern for the situation of Kunning Palace, nor did it mean to care for the queen, which made the waiter who rushed to report stunned.
At this time, shouldn't the emperor move to Kunning Palace and wait for the birth of the prince? He originally thought that there would be a big reward for coming to report, but the emperor seemed to be displeased?
"What are you still doing? The emperor already knows, hurry back to Kunning Palace! Tang Mi saw Emperor Jingxing's face, and when he saw the servant who came to the newspaper to be stunned, he hurriedly scolded like this.
"Minions obey! The minion will go back to Kunning Palace! The attendants who can come to Zichen Hall are all clear people, he quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked for sin.
The people in the palace have always been able to guess their eyebrows, not to mention that Emperor Jingxing does not hide his true emotions at the moment. The chamberlain thought in his heart: It seems that the emperor is not eager for this soon-to-be-born prince.
The emperor doesn't like the soon-to-be-born prince, and this is not an groundless rumor, and it soon spread in the inner city of the palace. When the news reached Kunning Palace, Queen Zuo was sweating profusely and screaming hard, wanting to give birth to the child in her womb smoothly.
"Spring Joy...... Emperor...... Is the emperor here? Zuo's lips were pale, and he asked hopefully. She knew that the chamberlain had already gone to Zichen Hall to report, and the emperor should be here, right? You must be waiting outside the room, right?
Chunxi looked at Zuo's look of hope, and then looked at the blood and water that Wen Po brought out one by one. couldn't help but feel sad for a while, but said with a forced smile: "The inner servant is coming to report, and the emperor will arrive soon." Rest assured, Niangniang will hold on for a while. The little master was born. ”
At this moment, she couldn't say the rumors in the palace at all. Not only did the emperor not come, but even the Empress Dowager Rong in Shouning Palace did not come. Chunxi knows that the emperor doesn't like the little prince who is about to be born, and it is absolutely true. The poor queen is struggling at the ghost gate, and the emperor doesn't like her children anymore.
"That's ......" Zuo heard Chunxi's report and said this. Although she was exhausted because of childbirth, she could see the pityful eyes of Chunxi clearly.
Did the emperor not come to Kunning Palace? Is it because of the recent disaster in Dayon? Is it because the child arrived at the wrong time?
Zuo didn't know either. Why does the fetus move in advance, but no matter what the timing is, no matter what the emperor is, this is her child!
"Ah......h It rang out in the dormitory of Kunning Palace.
Emperor Jingxing's first emperor was finally born! Although this prince was born in less than a month, although this prince was not liked by Emperor Jingxing, the birth of this prince added a little joy to the Great Yong Dynasty with internal and external troubles, like a bright color in the darkness.
Subsequently, the name of the Zichen Hall came out. The first prince of the Jingxing Dynasty was named Shangguan Rui, and the courtiers were all called Prince Rui.
The birth of Prince Rui caused great repercussions among the courtiers. Although the courtiers had heard rumors that the emperor did not like Prince Rui earlier, the name given by Zichen Hall and the solemn baptism made them feel that the rumors were just rumors.
Prince Rui. It is the orthodoxy of the blood of the Shangguan royal family, and it is the first prince born to the queen's mother, and its significance is far-reaching.
Of course, the birth of Prince Rui is of great significance to the Zuo family. The birth of Prince Rui. It means that the position of the Empress Zuo is more stable, and the power of the Zuo family is more prosperous.
As the mother family of Prince Rui, the Zuo family was unanimously congratulated and praised by the courtiers. The ministers of the court, when they saw Zuo Liangzhe, would wave their hands and say their joy, as if the birth of Prince Rui was a great joy for the Zuo family.
This is indeed a great joy for the Zuo family, but it is a celebration of the whole dynasty, and it seems quite abrupt and joyful at this time of disaster.
When the Zuo family faced this kind of congratulations, they didn't express their mood for the time being, but Emperor Jingxing was extremely unhappy with such a situation.
Nearly ten days after the birth of Prince Rui, Emperor Jingxing only went to Kunning Palace twice, once for Prince Rui's baptism, and the other time at the urging of Empress Dowager Rong, before going to Kunning Palace.
It can be seen how much he dislikes Prince Rui. It was only due to the influence of the national throne that he wanted to add joy to the royal family during the great eternal disaster, so he solemnly ceremoniously carried out the baptism.
In fact, after the birth of Prince Rui, he was even more jealous of the Zuo family, after all, the power of the Zuo family had a greater influence.
At this moment, in the Zichen Palace, Emperor Jingxing asked about the situation of the Zuo family: "Tang Mi, what is the movement of the Zuo family?" ”
The Zuo family was overjoyed because of the birth of His Royal Highness the Prince. There was an endless stream of ministers who went to Zuo's house to give gifts and congratulations. ”
Tang Mi replied. Prince Rui was born, and the Zuo family must be full of guests, even if you don't deliberately pay attention to the Zuo family, you can guess these situations.
After Emperor Jingxing heard this answer, he frowned slightly, but did not speak again.
The Zuo family will have such a grand occasion, and Emperor Jingxing is not surprised. Although he did not leave the palace, he also knew that the courtiers outside the palace were much more flattering to the Zuo family.
After Shen Huashan retired, the courtiers associated with Shen Huashan also left Jingzhao one after another, and most of the officials who were substituted later took the path of Zuo Liangzhe. In the current Jingzhao court, Zuo Liangzhe can move when he stomps his feet.
Among the courtiers, the reference to Zuo Liangzhe even has the name "Zuo Banchao".
Such a situation is inconsistent with Emperor Jingxing's original intention of balancing the power of the court, and of course it will make Emperor Jingxing worried.
However, now that Dayong has been plagued by disasters and Prince Rui has been born again, he can no longer force Zuo Liangzhe to retreat like he did with Shen Huashan, but can only be gracious and appeased to prevent further turmoil in the court.
Especially after Prince Rui was born, the Zuo family became the mother family of Prince Rui, and Emperor Jingxing couldn't do anything to the Zuo family.
It's just that the slave thought to himself, Lord Guozhang is still in Longyou Dao now, and the Zuo family and the queen must be worried. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the prince was born, so that there is today's celebration. ”
Tang Mi glanced at Emperor Jingxing's face, and then reported. The lord of the country he said is Zuo Xing'an, the son of Zuo Liangzi and the father of the queen's mother, since Jiang Bowen's rebellion, there has been no news of Zuo Xing'an.
Tang Mi's words are very clever. Zuo Xing'an holds an official position in Longyou Dao, Longyou Dao is now Jiang Bowen's world, Zuo Xing'an is the father of the queen, the situation should be very critical, and the Zuo family should be very anxious, but the Zuo family seems to have never been anxious, and now because of Prince Rui, it is such a celebration.
No matter how you look at it, I feel that there is something suspicious, and there is something greasy in it.
Emperor Jingxing listened to Tang Mi's words, and his originally gloomy face was even more suppressed. Zuo Xing'an has been in Longyou Road all these years, if it weren't for Jiang Bowen's rebellion and the birth of Prince Rui, he would have really forgotten the existence of this person.
Emperor Jingxing thought more deeply than Tang Mi. The Zuo family is so calm and happy, in addition to the reason of Prince Rui, will it be because Zuo Xing'an is already safe? Perhaps, what is the secret connection between the Zuo family and Jiang Bowen?
He remembered that when the news of Gu Dazu's rebellion came, Zuo Liangzhe strongly agreed with Jiang Bowen's urgent report; Later, it was Zuo Liangzhe who escorted the envoy and ordered the Hubu Shangshu to use the treasury and send grain and grass to Jiang Bowen. Otherwise, where would Jiang Bowen have such sufficient capital for rebellion?
The more Emperor Jingxing thought about it, the more he felt that all these things that Zuo Liangzhe did were beneficial to Jiang Bowen. It seems that the Zuo family and Jiang Bowen have already colluded, otherwise the news that Zuo Xing'an was killed or captured would have come out a long time ago, how could there be no news at all?
"Tang Mi, call Kong Wu to come here." After thinking about it, Emperor Jingxing said. Emperor Jingxing would ask Tang Mi about the movements of the ministers of the court, because these were all known to Tang Mi.
But Tang Mi is an internal servant after all, and he has lived in the palace for a long time, which has many inconveniences. Now that Emperor Jingxing wants to know more secret news, he has to use Kong Wu's secret guards.
Emperor Jingxing didn't know that the secret guards were so easy to use, so he hadn't summoned Kong Wu, and if Kong Wu hadn't come to meet him himself, he wouldn't have thought of using these secret guards.
Fortunately, now that he wants to know the news of the Zuo family, the people brought by Kong Wu have played a role.
What Emperor Jingxing wants to know is whether the Zuo family has colluded with Jiang Bowen, this time Jiang Bowen rebelled, did the Zuo family know the news in advance, Zuo Xing'an, has he already thrown himself into Jiang Bowen?
Kong Wu naturally received the order, and he didn't know how he operated it, and after three or five days, he had already submitted the results of the investigation to Emperor Jingxing.
"What? The Zuo family did not collude with Jiang Bowen? Emperor Jingxing listened to Kong Wu's report and was a little surprised. He also thought that what Kong Wu found would be evidence of collusion between the Zuo family and Jiang Bowen, but he didn't know that it turned out to be Zuo Xing'an's letter of peace.
"Yes, the minister found a letter of peace from Lord Guozhang in the secret room of the Zuo family's study, and the letter said that he had found a secret place to hide, so that Lord Shizhong should not worry."
Kong Wu replied truthfully, this is indeed the secret letter he saw in the Zuo family, and there will be no mistake. The date on the letter is also after Jiang Bowen's rebellion, and the letter paper is also a special product of Longyou Dao, which does not seem to be a forgery.
Emperor Jingxing's brows furrowed, although he believed that Kong Wu would not lie, but this result could not convince him, he always felt that the Zuo family was hiding something.
Emperor Jingxing's intuition was right, Zuo Liangzhe was wiping a sweat now.
