There were some things that Zhu Hao couldn't say to Tang Yinming.

But with Zhu Wanhong, the old fox, you can knock on the side, like playing a dumb riddle, and throw out the problem, in many ways, the interests of the uncle and nephew are the same, and it is clear at all.

Zhu Hao and Zhu Wanhong both need the relationship of Xingwangfu to ensure that the Zhu family will not be liquidated in the future, and it must also be in line with the interests of those in power, and they cannot give up the task of monitoring Xingwangfu in order to cater to Xingwangfu.

Now Zhu Hao has come up with a very good solution.

tried every means to let Zhu Si enter Beijing as a hostage after King Xing's death, and he could only contact a very small number of people around him...... He, Zhu Wanhong, was a hostage in Beijing, and he knew very well how targeted this strategy was.

If Zhu Si can only rely on Zhu Hao, then the Zhu family represented by Zhu Hao will be able to benefit from it, and the court will still feel that he Zhu Wanhong is ruthless and ruthless to Xingwangfu, and both sides will make good people.

Of course.

Zhu Hao just wanted Zhu Wanhong to think so.

How the facts are is another matter.

……

……

Zhu Wanhong is a smart person in the end, and after getting a hint from Zhu Hao, he began to lay out after he went back.

In the past two years, Zhu Hao has helped Xingwangfu do a lot of things to win the hearts of the people, and the nobles and military generals of the court have praised Xingwangfu, and in the past two years, they have not even mentioned the matter of establishing the son of the clan as the heir, as if the imperial court has intended to pass the throne to Xingwangfu in the case of the emperor's heir.

Mid-April.

Jingshi, Forbidden City, Qingning Palace Hall.

Empress Dowager Zhang is meeting with the eunuch Zhang Yong, who entered the inner palace to report the matter.

In the past few years, Zhang Yong was very beautiful, first cooperated with Yang Yi to clear Liu Jin, and successively served as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, the eunuch of Bingbi, etc., and then took the eunuch to live idle, and soon served as the eunuch of the imperial eunuch and the governor of Jingying, in this capacity to assist Zhu Houzhao to complete the exit from Yongguan and obtain the great victory in Yingzhou......

But it's a pity that he belongs to the kind of close ministers who are capable but have always been tepid, and there are too many traitors around the emperor, all of whom are good at pandering.

Zhang Yong was by the side of Emperor Zhengde, and he did all the hard work.

Empress Dowager Zhang has always trusted him, feeling that he is a capable minister left by her husband, and has always entrusted him with important tasks.

“…… His Majesty insisted on going to Jiangnan to inspect the country, and had already asked the officials of the feudal provinces in various places to arrange the sailing of boats in advance, but the princes of the court and the central government tried their best to obstruct it, and in March, some people were punished with canes, and more than ten people passed away after being punished with canes......"

Zhang Yong's visit this time was mainly entrusted by the important ministers of the court and the central government to ask the empress dowager to come forward to stop the emperor's "atrocities".

Many of the ministers are old and healthy, and they say that they are loyal to the country, and they don't care about life and death when they really want to stand up, but many times they are forced by the situation, and others have to do this for the sake of the righteousness of their family and country, can they choose to stand by and watch? But once it is mixed in, it is life-threatening...... This emperor is a tiger!

It's good to leave a name in history, but if you can't stand it, it's gone, what do you want to do after you? So hurry up and find a way to ask the Empress Dowager Zhang, who can suppress the demon king of the world, to come forward and persuade her.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yong has always been difficult to become the emperor's absolute confidant.

Because he has such a good relationship with the ministers of the court, you can't think about having a good relationship with the ministers while still wanting to gain the absolute trust of the emperor, right? At most, it was used by the emperor as a night pot, lifting you up when he needed you, and hiding you under the bed when he didn't use it.

When Empress Dowager Zhang heard this, she felt a little regretful: "The persuasion of the ministers of the DPRK and the central government is not unreasonable, Your Majesty is out on patrol, and he doesn't even have an heir, so it is easy to be exploited!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was very sympathetic to those ministers.

But she couldn't control her son.

She belongs to the typical example of a loving mother and a defeated child, raising a demon king of the mixed world, and there is no better way than to nag occasionally.

When Zhang Yong heard this, he said: "Queen Mother, there is also news that King Ning wants to send his heirs to the palace and raise them as princes, please ask the people close to Your Majesty to say it...... King Naning has always had a heart of disobedience, and he must be guarded against! ”

"What?"

Empress Dowager Zhang's face became extremely ugly, "It's the King Ning who often sends people to the capital to deliver silver, dots up and down, and occasionally sends some rare things to the Mourning family, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Yongdao.

Empress Dowager Zhang sneered: "The side branch of the royal family, the bloodline has long been separated by generations, and they still dare to covet the big position?" If the court is not perfected, will he still rebel? ”

Zhang Yongdao: "In the past few years, the matter of King Ning's rebellion has often been reported to Jingshi, but His Majesty has not won the trust, and it seems that someone around His Majesty has been bribed by him. ”

In order to win the throne, King Ning can be said to do everything, first wanted his son to go to Beijing to raise him in the palace as the crown prince, and then thought about rebelling against himself to become the emperor......

In order to achieve his goal, King Ning made an extremely generous move, not to mention Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and other absolute close ministers around the emperor, and even Zhang Yong took a lot of benefits.

But the most taboo thing about gift-giving is not to suffer from widowhood and unevenness, why do you give me less and give more to others?

Seeing that the signs of King Ning's rebellion are becoming more and more obvious, those who have less money but are qualified to deliver words, of course, have to find a way to get themselves out, Zhang Yong is like this, he took the initiative to report, and it seems that he has nothing to do with King Ning's rebellion.

Empress Dowager Zhang said: "Someone will draw up a decree to inform Your Majesty of this matter, so that he can prepare early." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Yong was glad in his heart that the goal had been achieved.

As long as the Queen Mother makes this decree, it will be able to testify for me, I warned in advance, I have nothing to do with King Ning's rebellion.

"Also, there's one more thing......"

Zhang Yong suddenly swallowed and stopped.

Empress Dowager Zhang shouted: "Say! ”

Zhang Yongdao: "The day before yesterday, a minister played to establish an heir to the palace with the son of King Xing......"

"Smack!"

Empress Dowager Zhang slapped down the chair and bowed her head in anger, and the bodies of the female officials around her were all agitated.

Without waiting for Zhang Yong to continue, Empress Dowager Zhang got up and angrily reprimanded: "King Xing is already a side branch of the royal family, and has nothing to do with the throne, Your Majesty is still in good health, and it is a matter of time before you have an heir. ”

Zhang Yong heard some signs.

For King Ning's covetousness to the throne, Empress Dowager Zhang was just angry, and asked some ministers to let King Xing's son establish an heir, and the Empress Dowager was furious.

This just shows that the queen mother cares about public opinion very much, especially when she knows that the Xingwang Mansion, which has never been mentioned by ministers in the past, is now being elected to set up her heir in the palace as the crown prince, and she, the emperor's mother, is of course very angry.

Zhang Yong understood in his heart that it was precisely from the perspective of succession that it might be the real dragon from the Xingwang Mansion that the Queen Mother was even more reluctant to listen to this.

"There is already public opinion in the DPRK and China secretly discussing, the Queen Mother, you see ......"

Zhang Yong also wanted to add a fire.

As an old man in the palace cultivated by Emperor Xiaozong, Zhang Yong can be said to be loyal to Zhu Houzhao, which is why Zhu Houyu directly killed him after he ascended the throne.

You have merit to the Ming Dynasty, not once or twice, but you are too loyal to the Martial Sect, and such a person cannot be left by my side.

"Issued a decree to mourn the family, in the future, the government and the opposition are strictly forbidden to talk about the establishment of the prince, but if there are those who violate the ban, Yidongchang and Jinyiwei will search and arrest and interrogate to see if there are any comrades behind them, regardless of Xing or Ningfu, some people take the opportunity to talk about things and punish them together."

Empress Dowager Zhang was resolute.

The son doesn't seem to be in a hurry for the prince, she, who is a mother, should be a little careful, and it is best to let her son have a future as soon as possible.

"Yes."

Zhang Yong hurriedly received the order.

……

……

The Imperial Palace issued an edict strictly forbidding the discussion of the question of the heir, which was soon issued.

Anlu got the news in early May.

At the same time, there was also the emperor's court staff ministers again in late April, who killed a few again, and found that the ministers dissuaded him from going forward and following him on the southern tour, and he was not afraid of death, and finally had no choice but to issue an order to cancel the southern tour plan.

On this day, Zhu Youqi dragged his tired body to meet several backbones in the palace.

Zhu Hao was fortunate to participate in this internal meeting, and it was also stained with Zhu Si's light, because Zhu Si was standing next to his father at the moment, and it was obvious that Zhu Youqi had the intention of being lonely.

Zhu Youqing's face was black and yellow, his arms may have been pale because he had not seen the sun for a long time, the whole person sat there, clumped together, his body looked extremely uncoordinated, and he coughed violently without saying a word, Zhu Si hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and after a while, the handkerchief was stained red with blood.

However, whether it was Zhu Si, or a cadre of staff and officials, they were no longer surprised, and they did not suspend the meeting because Zhu Youqi coughed up blood.

Yuan Zonggao concluded: "...... Now there is a voice in the court, saying that the prince will be the heir, and the court has ordered that the people should not talk about this matter at this time, although the palace has won the hearts of the people, but it has been suspicious, which is not a good thing. ”

Tang Yin, Zhang Zuo and others couldn't help but look at Yuan Zonggao.

You old fellow, can't you say a couple of nice words?

Knowing that King Xing doesn't want to hear this, do you still have to be alarmist?

Zhu Youqi calmed down and said: "If the prince can be recognized by the world, this king's wish is enough." Shizi, you have to go on your own ...... the way back."

Zhu Si hurriedly said: "Father, the child is not allowed to say such things, and the child still needs your teaching." ”

Zhu Youqi caressed his son's head lovingly, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and said with a smile: "It seems that he has grown a little taller, and he is almost as tall as me." ”

Father and son have a deep relationship.

It's just that the people next to me are a little awkward when they see this scene.

King Xing, how long have you not paid attention to your son's situation?

Only now do you find out that your son has grown taller?

Zhu Hao originally thought that King Xing would say a few more words to the people present, after all, Zhu Youqi had not had the spirit to meet his subordinates for a long time as he did today.

But then King Xing canceled further talks on the grounds that he was unwell.

……

……

Zhu Hao walked out of the study.

Zhang Zuo wiped his tears and said to Tang Yin: "Mr. Tang, recently, the prince has been unable to sleep every night, and his body is in severe pain, he is really guilty......

Tang Yin could only shake his head when he heard this.

"This suffering, if we can bear it, our family is 10,000 willing." Zhang Zuo cried.

Tang Yin thought to himself, why are you telling me this?

I can't see King Xing often, so I can't show my loyalty to you.

Zhu Hao looked at it with strange eyes, and the meaning was obvious...... I think he said this whenever he met people, for fear that the news would not reach the ears of King Xing.
