Chapter Forty-Four: The Emperor Has Ambitions, But Seeks Peaceful Sleep
Under the gray sky, the execution in the courtyard of Qingning Palace finally ended.
"Quick, bring Niu Mengmeng back to the medicine!" Huang Pan saw that Niu Mengmeng's face was swollen, and immediately hurriedly sent a palace maid and a little eunuch to say.
Niu Mengmeng's ass was just not long ago, and now his mouth was sinned again, and he asked a good little palace maid: "I chew four ...... Four do not swell...... Ah! ”
When she spoke, she stopped talking immediately because she pulled the nerve in her face, but tears still rushed out of her big beautiful eyes.
"Sister Mengmeng, stop talking, your mouth is swollen, let's hurry back to the Qianqing Palace to take medicine!" Xiao Juan looked at Niu Mengmeng, who was in pain, and stretched out her hand to pull Niu Mengmeng in the direction of Qianqing Palace.
Niu Mengmeng still wanted to speak, but her face didn't dare to move in pain, but her eyes were full of worry and looked at Qingning Palace.
Even if Qingyunhou is His Majesty's uncle, but His Majesty is a true son, how dare he Qingyunhou talk to His Majesty like this, and he is not afraid that his ancestral tomb will be struck by lightning.
In the main hall room of Qingning Palace, the tense atmosphere has eased down at this time.
Qingyunhou's disrespect just now frightened many Zhou family members, but after all, there is the Empress Dowager here, and it will not really be wiped out.
It's just that judging from the conversation between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, His Majesty is not as obedient to the Empress Dowager in everything as they imagined, and the honor of their Zhou family is probably not as good as that of the Chenghua Dynasty.
However, with a full 500 hectares of land, this good news still diluted many people's worries, after all, it is a wealth that can be passed on to future generations!
"Yes, you don't joke!" Zhou Shou suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and nodded his head again and again.
"Your Majesty, Jiao'er said that you have changed, and the mourning family has never believed it, but you really don't look like the mourning family is the one who brought you up now!" Empress Dowager Zhou took a sip of tea to calm her mood, but she seriously judged it.
Since she was six years old, she has been responsible for raising Zhu Youji, and all her actions are basically under her nose, even if Zhu Youzhu can guess whether he wants to eat or play with a look.
It's just that the current Zhu Youzhu is in front of him, but he has become like a fog, and he can't see through Zhu Youji's mind completely.
What made her feel the most chilling was that her brother recklessly said a word of disrespect, and he couldn't bear to deal with the palace maid, and finally began to settle the matter, so that she had to agree to this deal.
"My father wanted me to be a qualified emperor before he died, supporting the Zhu family's rivers and mountains, and guarding the rivers and mountains laid down by the ancestors and ancestors. I don't want to live up to my father's wishes, and I don't dare to be ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors, I have only grown up a little now, but I am still far from a qualified majesty? Zhu Youzhu knew that the people around him must have doubts, and he seemed to be moved as if he was genuine.
When Zhang Yujiao heard this explanation, she suddenly had a realization in her heart, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but she knew that Zhu Youjiao was just trying to alienate herself now.
"Your Majesty can have this idea, it is the luck of the Zhu family!" The Empress Dowager Zhou naturally couldn't believe it all, but she couldn't find fault with it, so she had to go against her will.
A person's temperament can change a lot, but the mind can change when it is said, and now sitting in front of him is like a cunning fox, which is still unreasonable.
Zhu Youzhu saw that the matter had been resolved, so he put down the tea cup in his hand and prepared to leave.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has a reluctant request, my eldest brother Zhang Heling is already at the age of marriage, and I want to ask Your Majesty to marry the daughter of Wang Zeng, the commander of the horse!" Zhang Yujiao saw that Zhou Shou's matter had been dealt with, and even said her request.
"Marriage is not allowed, there is no need to say more!" Zhu Youzhi no longer played sloppy, and expressed his attitude bluntly.
Zhang Yujiao's father Zhang Luan and his cousin Zhang Qi studied with his uncle Zhang Jin, who was then the Jiaocheng Teacher.
On the other hand, Zhang Qi can be said to be gifted, and he was a high school scholar in Jingtai for five years, and he was tired of being an official to the Liaodu Imperial History Governor of Liaodong. studied under the former head assistant businessman, and his son Zhang Bangxiang married Xu Pu's daughter Xu Yuanxiu, which can be said to be a proper member of the civil official group.
Zhang Luan's Zhang family can be said to have become very close to the civilian official group, and now if Zhang Luan's eldest son, Zhang Heling, marries the daughter of Wang Zeng, the grandson of Wang Ji, the former secretary of the military department, it will undoubtedly greatly deepen the ties between the Zhang family and the civilian official group.
The Zhang family can turn a blind eye to what they do, but if they want to thread the needle and lead these official eunuch families themselves, this requirement itself is already excessive.
Zhang Yujiao saw that Zhu Youzhu refused so ruthlessly, and immediately bit her lower lip and compromised: "If Your Majesty has to apologize to the concubine in public before agreeing, the concubine will apologize to Your Majesty now!" ”
"You don't have to apologize! If your family wants to marry Wang Zeng's daughter, you can hire three books and six appointments normally. It's just that the ancestors have a cloud, the Son of Heaven carefully selects the daughters of the common people and good families and hires them, and your family is too noble and will affect your position! Zhu Youzhu stopped lightly, and then admonished seriously.
Why did Emperor Chenghua favor Wan Guifei alone, although he was prevented by the civil official group from canonizing Wan Guifei as the queen, but he did not touch the young and beautiful Queen Wang.
This is because Wan Guifei is an ordinary palace maid, and the queen Wang has a deep relationship with the civil official group, and Emperor Chenghua handed over his harem to Wan Guifei to sleep peacefully, but it may not be handed over to Queen Wang.
Now that he has ascended the throne to promote reform, there has already been a great contradiction between Yanzheng and the civil official clique alone, and the next reform will inevitably touch the bigger cake of the civilian clique.
Once his harem is too deeply involved with the civil official group, the civil official is likely to disrupt the government through the harem, and even the day his son is born is the time of his own funeral.
Although Zhang Yujiao is not necessarily a bad woman, and has been sung by civil officials in history, her ideal harem still has to be handed over to a woman who has the same heart as herself, even if this woman is stupid, it doesn't matter.
From his current point of view, even if Zhang Yujiao is not notorious in history, if the Zhang family gets closer and closer to the civilian clique, he still has to choose to be vigilant.
"Since you don't agree, forget it, my family will choose a good date tomorrow, and you don't need to marry to be beautiful!" Zhang Yujiao naturally couldn't listen to it, and immediately said indignantly.
Zhu Youzhu looked at this arrogant woman, and sighed secretly, daring to love is also a stupid woman, so he said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Grandmother, I need to return to the Qianqing Palace to deal with government affairs, so I will leave first!" ”
"Your Majesty has every opportunity, you should focus on your body, and I will ask someone to bring you a bowl of ginseng soup in the evening!" The Empress Dowager Zhou is a woman who has really experienced the struggle of the harem, and she seems to be very kind and authentic.
"There is a grandmother of Emperor Lao, and my grandson is leaving!" Zhu Youzhu always felt that the ginseng soup sent by the Empress Dowager Zhou tasted strange, and he also seemed to be filial to him.
Zhou Shou saw that Zhu Youzhu was leaving, but he still remembered the piece of the land and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget about Xiaohou!" ”
"Slave and maid send your majesty!" The palace maids and eunuchs present saw that Zhu Youzhu was leaving, and they even knelt down and saluted.
Zhu Youzhu walked out of Qingning Palace, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Although there has been progress in the matter of the military power of the Beijing army, the 500 hectares of fertile land are related to the livelihood of thousands of people, and this matter undoubtedly has to be properly handled.
In fact, he can pretend to be confused, as long as he gives that piece of land to Zhou Shou, Zhou Shou and his evil slaves can beat the people there away, and if it is not good, he will use the power of the Shuntian Mansion to expel people away.
It's just that he was also an ordinary member of the bottom in his previous life, although he saw too much injustice in society, but even if his own land was looked at, others were ......
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.
