Chapter 158: From the Dragon's Skill
For the Emperor of the Apocalypse, going to Zhang's house this time was more because of Zhang Jingyi's reward for so many merits these days.
It is also aimed at some people, expressing the emperor's importance to Zhang Jingyi.
Especially this time in the imperial examination, why can't the Emperor of the Apocalypse see the jealousy of those scholars towards Zhang Jingyi?
And the reason why Zhang Jingyi is envied is only because of him, the emperor.
Many scholars and ministers were not satisfied with him as the Son of Heaven, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew this.
Especially after Donglin was overthrown, a large number of Donglin were deposed, but they still did not give up, scattered all over the world, and continued to spread the ideas of Donglin Academy, and the scholars of the world did not sympathize with them.
Of course, these scholars did not dare to turn their anger at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, after all, ...... This is disloyalty, so although they have many complaints, they probably only say that the reason why the emperor is stupid is because of the traitorous ministers in the court.
Who is the traitor? Wei Zhongxian is one, but Wei Zhongxian is too ruthless, he really wants to offend, he will really kill people.
Zhang Jingyi, who has become famous recently, is also a one.
Because of this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to cheer Zhang Jingyi up.
Don't be afraid.
I am behind you.
Of course, this is also the character of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who already has a preference for those close to him.
Whether it is the nurse Keshi or Wei Zhongxian's nephews, he takes care of him a lot on weekdays.
Even if it was his brother Duanwang Zhu Youzhen, who had a reputation for being 'virtuous', the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not think about the bad side.
If it were someone else, I was afraid that whether it was nine thousand years old or Duanwang, he would have died a hundred times a long time ago.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was particularly enthusiastic about this matter, and let people choose gifts, but he also had a lot of troubles.
I heard that the emperor was going to congratulate a nephew of Zhang Jingyi on the full moon, and for a while, there was an uproar in the court.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse does have a reputation for being deaf, but he didn't expect to be deaf to such a point.
So much so that the ministers of the DPRK and China have written one after another.
Even the harem has become unpeaceful.
Many gossips stirred up the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse then said...... He's going to worship his ancestors.
He first issued a sincere edict, saying that he had a few dreams, dreaming that the first emperor, the last time because of the weather, could not make the trip, so he planned to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, go to the imperial tomb, and worship his ancestors.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly asked Qin Tianjian to check the auspicious day of the zodiac, and it was a coincidence that the day of the full moon was really an auspicious day.
"Say it...... Maybe no one will believe it. The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wei Zhongxian, who came to report, and said, "How can it be so coincidental? Will the officials mistakenly think that my filial piety is actually another intention? ”
Wei Zhongxian said in his heart, don't you know yourself? Ask us.
Naturally, his face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty...... What you said, Your Majesty has this filial piety, the first emperor has a spirit in the sky, I don't know how happy I should be! As for the gossip outside, let them go. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed his head: "This is very good." ”
Wei Zhongxian seemed to remember something, and said, "It's just...... For the full moon of a nephew of the Zhang family, why not make such a big fanfare. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said calmly: "Have you saved the driver?" Have you ever taught Huiyuan? Have you ever taken credit for controlling the water? Have you ever grown sweet potatoes? ”
Wei Zhongxian: "......"
Wei Zhongxian felt like he had been stabbed in his heart.
Obviously, the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse are not finished.
"Do you have a sister? Is your sister alone? Is there such a pitiful thing? Did your sister have a baby? ”
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Slave maid...... No. ”
Looking at Wei Zhongxian's smiling face, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly felt quite bored, so he said, "Okay, hurry up and set it up, don't bother me here, I'm upset!" ”
Wei Zhongxian nodded, and walked out of the Qinzheng Palace.
When he returned to the celebrant and had just sat down, a eunuch came hurrying: "Nine thousand years old." ”
Wei Zhongxian glanced down at this person, raised his eyebrows, but saw that this person was wearing old clothes, very plain, and even the boots under his feet were torn.
So he couldn't help but say angrily: "Zhang Shun, who are you gambling with again?" ”
This person is Zhang Shun, and when Zhang Shun heard this, he immediately said, "Sun ...... The grandson did not gamble for money. ”
"Still say no?" Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said: "If not, the palace is so shabby?" How much did you lose? ”
Zhang Shun: "......"
Zhang Shun can't explain it, can he tell the nine thousand years old, he has actually been giving gifts to Zhang Jingyi all along?
I'm afraid that as soon as I say it, the first nine thousand years old to bury him alive.
Can...... It really doesn't make sense.
He is a eunuch, what expenses can he spend in the palace?
Naturally, there are some miserable eunuchs in the palace, but Zhang Shun is different, Zhang Shun is on duty as the celebrant supervisor, not only has a lot of monthly money, but also has some little eunuchs who give him meaning.
Wei Zhongxian covered the sky with one hand in the palace, but he also climbed up step by step, how could he not know the weight of Zhang Shun's current identity, and he would definitely not be desolate to this point.
Zhang Shun hesitated for a long time, and couldn't tell the truth, so he finally had to say: "Sun ...... The grandson went to gamble, the grandson is sorry for the 9,000-year-old support, and the grandson deserves death. ”
Wei Zhongxian shook his head, disappointed in Zhang Shun.
There are rules in the palace, you Zhang Shun is my grandson Wei Zhongxian, but you go to gamble with others, up and down in the celebrant supervisor, which one is like you Zhang Shun?
Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly: "There will be a next time, be careful of your skin." ”
Zhang Shun hurriedly kowtowed: "Don't dare anymore." ”
Wei Zhongxian sat down, changed his words, and said slowly: "You came to see us, what's the matter?" ”
Zhang Shun remembered the matter at this time, so he hurriedly said: "The slave maid inquired, Concubine Li in the east, and the queen's mother...... A few days ago, I kept calling a palace maid to go, and I kept asking about one thing, all about the whereabouts of another palace maid who lived with this palace maid. Not only that, but also specially asked people to check the file, which is a document about His Majesty's daily life, and the slave maid heard about it...... Before October, a palace maid was pregnant...... But somehow, it suddenly disappeared......"
Wei Zhongxian cheered up, and he said: "We have heard some rumors about this before, but we thought it was just some gossip, but Concubine Li and Empress Zhang are so enthusiastic, which is strange." ”
Needless to say, Concubine Dongli has always remembered the royal blood.
And Empress Zhang has not been able to produce, in fact, by now, she has long since given up the idea of sowing dragon seeds.
And Concubine Xili, as well as the Hakka family, have actually been drafting the Emperor of the Apocalypse, pointing to the Emperor of the Apocalypse to give birth to a son and a half daughter.
This palace seems to be calm, but in fact it is treacherous.
Originally, Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry, anyway, there were many show girls selected by the Hakka family, but now, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
If he doesn't give birth to a dragon son, then King Duan will really want to be a prince, which is the last thing he Wei Zhongxian wants to see!
You know, the influence of the prince is enormous, after all... The reason why everyone scolded him Wei Zhongxian was because he Wei Zhongxian was the Emperor of the Apocalypse behind him, but if King Duan was the prince, I was afraid that he would have another kind of thought!
The short-sighted may be stammering with Wei Zhongxian, but more people are afraid that they want to put a long line to catch a big fish and press the treasure on Duanwang.
After all, who doesn't know that King Duan has always been very cold to Wei Zhongxian? Wei Zhongxian is on the bar today, and if King Duan ascends the throne tomorrow, you may be the first to kill.
Not only that, Wei Zhongxian has pulled out a lot of thorns in his eyes over the years, and these thorns in his eyes have always praised Duanwang Xianming. If he gains power, will he still have a good life for Wei Zhongxian?
But if His Majesty had a son, it would be different......
Wei Zhongxian's face changed, and he said slowly: "Queen Mother...... I guess I've been worried about my future all the time. ”
Yes, she is called a queen, but she can't give birth to a son... Thinking about the situation of Empress Dowager Zhang during the Ming Wuzong period, it is chilling to think about, if King Duan has a little conscience, it is fine, once he has no conscience and imitates the first emperor Jiajing, it is really impossible to live.
But if the emperor has a son, even if he is not biological, as long as the etiquette is still there, and Empress Zhang is nominally the child's mother, this pattern is different.
Wei Zhongxian said seriously at this time: "Confirm that palace maid, is she pregnant?" ”
Zhang said by the way: "There has been a record of Lin Xing, and many reactions since then, according to the people around her, do seem to be pregnant......
"But...... The queen mother's place is extremely protective of those who know some inside information, nine thousand years old, and the slaves and maids are brave...... Stealing thoughts...... It may be that Concubine Dongli and Empress Zhang suspected that Jiu Qian-year-old had done something to make the palace maid disappear out of thin air. ”
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help gritting his teeth: "The conscience of heaven and earth, dare we do such a thing?" There are so many rumors outside, saying that we will kill the prince today and the concubine tomorrow, we are just a slave, everything is given by His Majesty, even if we have the courage, we will never dare to do this. ”
Wei Zhongxian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then said resentfully: "If they dare to splash dirty water like this, let's talk about it...... This palace maid ...... It was they who used the means, and Queen Zhang was afraid that this palace maiden would be expensive by her son! ”
"Yes, yes, the slave and maid will be preached like this when the time comes, and everyone in this palace will know." Zhang Shun said flatteringly.
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhang Shun coldly: "Aren't you messy enough?" Isn't this the place without three hundred taels of silver? Is it clear that we framed Queen Zhang? ”
"Ah......" Zhang Shun was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly said: "The slave is dead." ”
Wei Zhongxian grimaced: "This matter ...... It is necessary to thoroughly investigate and use all means, this is a matter of life and death in the future, and it cannot teach people to take the lead. We...... This time, I also want to do it once from the dragon heroes......"
From the dragon ...... Zhang Shun glanced up at Wei Zhongxian.
What kind of dragon is this from?
That young dragon who has not even been born and whose life and death are uncertain?
