Zhu Houwei doesn't want to marry Zhang Shaohua is certain, not that this cousin is rude and willful, nor is it entirely because she is his cousin is a close relative, there are countless examples of close relatives marrying in ancient times, and it is not that children born to close relatives will definitely be deformed or mentally retarded.

The main reason for his reluctance was because of his two uncles, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

Born in a small family, but her sister became the queen, the Zhang family can be said to be rich overnight, but it is precisely because of the huge contrast in the change of status that the evil thoughts buried in the hearts of the two uncles were completely stimulated.

These two goods were quite restrained when Emperor Xiaozong was still alive, but Emperor Hongzhi was a big deal, his nephew became the emperor, and his sister became the queen mother.

Since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, the two were arrogant, indulged in slavery, forcibly seized the people's property, and caused a great disaster.

Later, Emperor Zhengde died early, Zhu Houxi became the new monarch, these two guys thought that they had the Queen Mother as a backer, so they didn't know how to converge at all, plus Emperor Jiajing thought that Empress Dowager Zhang suppressed his mother Empress Dowager Jiang in the palace, so he was resentful and began to pack up these two goods, and directly put the two in prison and convicted.

What would happen if they were convicted of the sins they had committed? It is estimated that there is almost no suspense about being stabbed on the court.

So Empress Dowager Zhang interceded, although Emperor Jiajing did not give Empress Zhang a son, but did not kill the two brothers immediately, and finally Empress Dowager Zhang died of depression.

A few years after the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang, Emperor Jiajing attacked the two brothers, Zhang Heling was arrested and died, Zhang Yanling was beheaded in the West City, and he would kill himself if he committed many injustices, and the two of them could be regarded as retribution.

Therefore, whether it is for morality, law, or the people or even his own mother, if Zhu Houwei is on the throne, he will inevitably attack these two uncles, and it is impossible to kill them, but the ban on seizing the title is almost a certainty.

Now that the queen mother asks him to marry Zhang Shaohua, he will inevitably have more variables if he wants to start in the future, and he will have to add a little resistance.

All kinds of reasons are in front of you, how do you let Zhu Houwei marry?

"Still young? Are you still young in your twenties? Seeing that Zhu Houwei was a little unwilling, Empress Dowager Zhang looked reluctant, and suddenly said with some displeasure: "Mother heard that you took three concubines in Huzhou, one is named Zhou Yujie and two are Wu family sisters who were rescued by you, for that Wu Xueyu, you also denounced the two long histories at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet."

Zhu Houwei was speechless, this Yongwang Mansion looks like a strong barrier, but it is no different from a sieve leaking around, this is not necessarily that Zhu Houzhao wants to monitor him, but a system problem.

There is a precedent for the martyrdom of the Yongle Emperor in front of him, and the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are very protective of the vassal king, after all, no one wants to become the Fang Xiaoru of the Ten Clans.

Therefore, Zhu Houwei has long been sure that the two Changshi in the Yongwang Mansion are just upright monitors on the surface, and there are more other people who are secretly surveilling.

For example, eunuchs, palace maids, and even servants and craftsmen are possible, of course, Yongwang Weizhong must also have them, but the system in the army is strict, and even if there is an eyeliner, it is not easy to pass on every move in the army.

These eyes that were secretly staring at him, he was not incapable of cutting them off, but he couldn't do that, and if he did, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Manchu Dynasty and think that he had a disobedient heart.

Everyone knows this matter, and there is no need to delve into it at all.

"By the way, my mother heard that Yu'er is pregnant?"

Zhu Houwei nodded, there is nothing to hide from this, and I can't hide it.

Empress Dowager Zhang is a little melancholy, as the queen mother, she has supreme honor, but if you really want to say it, she is just an old woman trapped in the deep palace.

In the deep palace, the emperor's women can still intrigue in order to be favored, and they still have something to do anyway, but what about her?

Not even a single spiritual sustenance.

Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at the eldest son, and saw Zhu Houzhao looking drowsy, she sighed for no reason, the emperor is lustful and lewd, and he is really a royal daughter, compared with his father Emperor Xiaozong, it is simply a world of difference, but Xiaozong is only one woman, but she has two sons and a daughter, but the eldest son has no son and half a daughter.

Empress Dowager Zhang, who was born in a small family, also wants to be like the old lady of the people, with a few children by her side, and this lonely and cold deep palace can at least have a few more wisps of life.

But no, but the youngest son's concubine was pregnant, which made Empress Dowager Zhang happy and a little regretful.

"The child is planning to give the queen mother and the royal brother the crown princess Yu'er as a side concubine." Zhu Houwei's face was a little more solemn.

Sister Yu was sent by him to rob Huzhou from the capital, and the only people who knew her identity were the team of people who came to the capital to rob people, and these dozen or so people were his absolute henchmen, and there could be no eyeliner problem.

In addition, in order to wash away the dust of Sister Yu'er's background, Zhu Houwei also arranged for Ren Xing to change her identity, now Sister Yu is a peasant girl in a village under the rule of Huzhou Mansion, her mother died early, her father is a hunter in the mountains, and she has almost no contact with the outside world, Zhu Houwei believes that as long as the clan is not determined to check the eighteenth generation of ancestors, then Sister Yu'er's identity is impeccable.

Will the clan investigate to the death? Definitely not, after all, Zhu Houwei just wants to set up a side concubine, strictly speaking, as long as the net worth is innocent, then it is enough to report to the clan, and if it is not a princess, it will naturally not be too troublesome.

"You let Houzhao inform you about this, and the Zongren Mansion will be it." An understatement shows that the royal family is not suspicious of Sister Yu'er's identity, so this matter is equivalent to half of the implementation.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and agreed, and glanced at Zhu Houwei.

Zhou Yujie knew that the first time his brother brought this woman to appear in public, he was still saving people on the court, and the reward he got was that this woman was graceful and beautiful, to be honest, he was itching in his heart at that time.

But there is no way, it is his brother's woman, how can he rob it, he can rob the people's daughter, he can go to the minister's house and let the minister's female family sleep directly, but let him rob his brother's woman...... He is not Emperor Tang Ming, and he can do such a thing as robbing his daughter-in-law.

Seeing the eldest son lying crookedly on the soft chair, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly became angry and said: "It's all the emperor, and there is no one to sit on, look at your younger brother." After that, I glanced at Zhu Houwei with satisfaction, most of the mothers love their younger sons, and the Empress Dowager Zhang is no exception.

Zhu Houzhao was speechless, but said with a hippie smile: "Queen Mother, Hou Wei returned to Beijing, this journey is tiring, and he must be tired, it is better to let him rest and rest, and the son will bring him to greet the Queen Mother another day."
