Fengtian Temple, treacherous.

Since Hongji ascended the throne, although he has never mentioned a new policy, every major policy has infringed on the interests of the elite, and now the contradictions between the two sides are deepening day by day.

Originally, the elite and the civilian clique were also in the hostile camp, or the two sides did not interfere with each other, but now they have slowly merged.

"If you are not filial to your parents, how can you make the subjects of the world return to their hearts?"

"If Your Majesty seeks the heir of the clan, and abandons the son of the first emperor and the younger brother of Your Majesty, this is the basic way to move the country!"

"The old minister is not alarmist, if Your Majesty can't set an example, the world will be full of selfish desires, disloyal and unfilial people in the future!"

Just as the Shuori Dynasty was proceeding according to the fixed process, there was a "Confucian master" who jumped out, and suddenly a voice full of excitement sounded in the hall.

"What's going on inside?"

"It seems to be because of rumors that the emperor wants to choose a young son from the clan to succeed!"

"Hey...... I don't know which old thing jumped out of the Great Dynasty to make trouble! ”

……

After hearing the voice in the hall, most of the civil and military officials outside the hall did not really hear it, but they also knew that someone broke the fixed process of this great court meeting and accused the emperor of wanting to choose the children of the clan to succeed.

In fact, they also felt that this kind of work was not good, but when they heard the people inside making such a fuss, they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.

Not to mention that this kind of occasion is not suitable for such trouble, and the matter has not been acted on at all, as a result, the emperor seems to have violated the rules of heaven, this old guy is clearly looking for trouble.

At this moment, the palace is full of Beijing officials above the fourth grade, and today the son is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair of the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Youji's eyes fell on the old man who jumped out to make trouble, but he knew that this person was Lu Zhengcheng of Guanglu Temple, an old thing who had been marginalized.

When he saw the other party jumping out, he knew that this kind of person was actually a chess piece, and he resented his reuse of practical officials.

"Drag it off!"

There was no need for Zhu Youzhu to speak, Guo Yong beside him gritted his teeth and ordered with hatred.

The two Han generals entered the hall and quickly dragged out the Guanglu Temple Chenglu Zhengzhi, who was wearing a four-grade official, and there was an uproar outside.

Although he was an idle official, he had a high reputation in Shilin, and his remarks were representative of the views of a large part of the population.

Zhu Youzhu stopped the process of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and said aloud with a full sense of neutrality: "I am twenty-two this year, although I have no heirs, but I am still in the prime of life. The first emperor also had the difficulty of having children, but there were three favored concubines in the thirties, and then there was the orthodox position. It is a fallacy to say that the heir is a succession, and in the future, I must not talk about the matter of the heir and the successor brother, otherwise the three law divisions will be arrested and imprisoned for me! ”

"Your Ministers obey!" The relevant officials of the Criminal Department received the order and immediately behaved in an authentic manner.

The sound here is loud, and the main hall is amplified, so it is also transmitted to the ears of the civil and military officials outside.

Xu Hong and other officials learned about the whole story, but they knew that Lu Zhengzhi was listening to rumors and disrupting the imperial meeting and touching the emperor, so they did not sympathize with this Confucian official.

It's just that these words fell into the ears of the conspirators, but they smiled slightly.

Although they sacrificed an important member in this move, it also forced Zhu Youzhu to openly express his position in the palace and give up the practice of heir.

If Zhu Youzhu really adopts the practice of heir, then it will break the inheritance of the throne of "brother dies and brother succeeds", and the canonized stepson is naturally dedicated to Hongzhi.

Now there is no operation of the heir, so once something happens to Zhu Youji, the throne will naturally fall to the head of King Xing, whom they support.

Even if Zhu Youzhu has no accident, if Zhu Youzhu has no heirs, the final throne will also fall to the head of Xingwang Zhu Youqi through the method of "brother dies and brother succeeds".

"Your Majesty, the first emperor had no heirs in his early years, one was that the prince was sick, and the other was caused by the fortunate Wan Guifei, please take this as a lesson for Your Majesty!" Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, was in the heart of Hongzhi, so he stood up and reminded.

Zhu Youzhu knew that there was indeed a problem in this regard, but he said with a slight smile: "The Queen Mother also thinks that consolidating the harem will help me pass on the lineage, and she has recently found a golden phoenix girl, and she is already planning to make me a concubine!" ”

Ahh

The Queen Mother, who was presiding over the banquet, suddenly felt an itch in her nostrils, and after a pause for a second, she immediately sneezed heavily.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" When Li Yu and other important ministers learned the news, they were also excited.

Although they are also worried about Zhu Youji's heirs, they don't all believe in the heavenly opportunities of Dongfang Dao, and now the emperor wants to fill the harem is not a way.

As for Lu Zhengzhi's opposition to the heir, in fact, they are also acceptable.

The emperor is still so young now, and there are too many younger brothers, there is really no need to find a successor. With this time, it is better to have a few more concubines at the meal.

As for the so-called Golden Phoenix Girl, they naturally won't believe it, or they are already immune to this statement.

After a fuss just now, the Shuowang Dynasty will seem to end early.

In the sound of long live the mountain, Zhu Youzhu rode back to the Qianqing Palace on the dragon chariot.

Although he has taken the initiative to give up the practice of heirs, he does not intend to accept his fate like this, but to solve the heavenly opportunity of the heir through other means.

Beijing City, Metaphysical Academy.

At the end of the Great Dynasty Meeting in Fengtian Temple, a ray of sunshine fell on Dongfang Dao's bed, and he woke up leisurely.

Dongfang Dao's current status is rising, not only has he been canonized by Shenxiao Baoguo Missionary Master, but he is also the dean of the newly founded Xuan Academy.

The Xuan Academy belonged to the formal yamen of the imperial court, and it was not the Qingshui yamen.

The official members here not only have the money issued by the imperial court, but also have a large financial budget every year, and can even apply to the household department for project funding.

Although the Xuan Academy has no grade, the imperial court also placed low-grade officials here to be responsible for the daily operation of the Xuan Academy, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the Xuan Academy.

Earlier, many people were watching, but after learning about the generous treatment, they were eager to sharpen their heads and come in, and the status and identity of Dongfang Dao naturally rose.

When the two young men heard the action in the house, they brought in the hot water.

Dongfang Dao sat in front of the bed and stretched, now his life is very good. Sleeping in the sun every day, having special personnel to serve you, and occasionally being summoned by the emperor, it is simply a fairy-like life.

"Master, I just heard a rumor!" The fair-skinned young Taoist priest was one of Dongfang Dao's apprentices, helping Dongfang Dao to put on shoes.

Dongfang Dao put on his shoes, couldn't help but yawn and said, "What rumors?" ”

"There are rumors outside that you say that the daughter of the Jiang family is the reincarnation of Jinfeng!" The young Taoist priest went to the copper basin and wrung the towel, and said with a bit of resentment on his face.

Dongfang Dao's brows frowned slightly, and he took the towel handed over and immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Who is messing around, how can Jin Feng see it!" ”

"They say what the emperor said!" The young Taoist priest nodded thoughtfully, and then replied earnestly.

Dongfang Dao was immediately stunned, and then changed the towel: "Uh...... That's for the teacher! ”

"Master, what do you mean?" The young Taoist priest saw that Dongfang Dao's attitude had changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and his eyes immediately widened.

Dongfang Dao continued to wipe his dirty face from eating roast chicken yesterday with a towel, and said as a matter of course: "What the emperor said, it must be what it is!" ”

"If you hadn't said it, the emperor wouldn't have been able to spread rumors!" The young Taoist priest felt that they should follow the way of heaven in this line of work, and they seemed to be not afraid of the way of power.

Dongfang Dao threw the towel back into the basin, and his eyes flashed with wisdom: "The emperor didn't use anyone, otherwise why do you think you have everything now as a teacher?" ”

"Master, didn't you teach your apprentices that good and bad are predestined?" The young Taoist priest looked at the greed and wealth of his respected master, and looked full of confusion.

Dongfang Dao personally sorted out his robes, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "That's right!" The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and this status and house are a godsend! ”

In fact, it was not that he was greedy for glory, but that he already knew that the way of heaven was like that.

Why did he work so hard to understand the heavens? In fact, in the final analysis, I don't want to change my down-to-earth life and live a comfortable life.

Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family.

He is actually the same as the students in the world, no matter how hard he works to cultivate his body, in the end, he actually wants to sell it at a good price from the emperor.

Now that his Taoism is so little, he can't even solve the problem of the emperor's heirs, so why don't he cannibalize the world and dare not share the emperor's worries?

The current Son of Heaven is a wise emperor, and that little trick can't fool the emperor at all.

If you don't know how to lift, then you can't have everything in front of you, and you are ashamed of the rivers and lakes you have been mixing for so many years. Now that the emperor wants to use him as a chess piece, then he only needs to do a good chess piece, and the future will only get better and better.

The young Taoist priest seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and seeing that the master was not angry because of the rumors, then his apprentice was naturally even more difficult to pursue, but a new doubt came to his heart: "Master, the emperor said that the daughter of the Jiang family is Jin Feng, which one is this singing?" ”

"Jiang family, which Jiang family?" Dongfang Dao was ready to go out after washing, but it was full of confusion.

The young Taoist priest looked at his master, but said very seriously: "Master, have you forgotten?" A while ago, you asked you to help choose a day? ”

"The mysteries of heaven are all self-explanatory, it seems that ...... The emperor has figured it out! Dongfang Dao pushed the door and looked towards the Forbidden City, bathed in sunlight.

The young Taoist priest was stunned again, and said with a blank face: "Master, what has the emperor figured out?" ”

"Enlighten yourself! If you are still so stupid, you will be expelled from the teacher as a teacher! "Dongfang Dao raised the majesty of the master, but it was to scare Dao.

The young Taoist priest immediately closed his mouth, but after thinking of Jiang Nu's other identity, he immediately opened his mouth wide.

"The daughter of the Jiang family is the reincarnation of Jin Feng?"

"Which Jiang family? There is no surname Jiang among the important ministers, right? ”

"The daughter of a general in Jingying, if you say the name, you must not have heard of it, but if you pay attention to the Xingwang Mansion, you will know what's going on!"

……

Just when the news that the daughter of the Jiang family was the reincarnation of Jin Feng was spreading, no one expected that a very bloody thing would appear.

"How can this work?"

"We're all going to be hired the day after tomorrow?"

"Ridiculous! How is this different from robbing relatives? ”

……

Just when the queen mother wanted to take Jiang Yan, the daughter of the Jiang family, as a concubine for the emperor, the Xingwang Mansion was the first to shake, and even a little angry.

At this moment, history seems to have caused a shallow ripple.

Xingwang Zhu Youqi has become an adult this year, and as early as the beginning of the year, Concubine Shao, who was idle, began to help her eldest son Zhang Luo get married.

Because King Xing is the emperor's younger brother, and he is a prince who is a hundred times more virtuous than Zhu Youji, and it was rumored earlier that Zhu Youzhu was the heir, so the school-age woman in the capital was selected by Concubine Shao.

Among so many candidates, Concubine Shao finally settled on the daughter of the Jiang family, that is, Jiang Yan, who was suddenly certified by Dongfang Dao as the reincarnation of Jinfeng, and planned to choose Jiang Yan as Princess Xing.

The reason for choosing Jiang Yan is that in addition to Jiang Yan's appearance and the eight characters match, it is also related to the Jiang family's Xianju Jingshi and the high-ranking generals in the Beijing camp.

Originally, Xingwangfu was already preparing to be hired, but at this juncture, this kind of thing happened, and he immediately fell into a dilemma.

It's just that the matter of marrying a wife has been planned for so long after all, and now it is suddenly cut off, and no one is happy, but the people who cut off the beard turned out to be the queen mother and the emperor.

If Xingwangfu suddenly gave up, this move would lose face, but if he insisted on going his own way, he would offend the emperor.

"Uncle, if this king doesn't marry her, you have to help this king!" Xingwang Zhu Youqi has already been fascinated by the beautiful girl in the portrait, but he asked his uncle for help.

Because of Concubine Shao, Jiang Kang is now a hundred households in Jinyi, and he is also a nephew who feels sorry for himself: "This matter may have to be turned to the Marquis of Xiangcheng for help!" ”

Because he has been in Beijing for many years, because of the relationship between King Xing, his status is now rising, and he also knows that there is now a huge force dissatisfied with the tyrant Emperor Hongzhi.

Although he was not hired, and he was not married to the Jiang family, but now this matter is obviously a tyrant snatching love, so he does not plan to let his nephew be wronged.

"Uncle, then you go to Xiangcheng Hou for help!" Zhu Youqi is still a teenager after all, and the tears in his eyes are turning around with great grievances.

The matter came to Li Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, and Li Jin was immediately overjoyed.

He didn't want to wade into the muddy waters this time, but now that King Xing personally asked for the door, then he naturally couldn't stand by and watch. What's more, he already hated Zhu Youzhu in his heart.

When a group of nobles got together, one of the old earls made it clear: "Jiang Yan is the reincarnation of the golden phoenix and is proved by the Eastern Immortals, even if this matter is not entrusted by King Xing, we must stop it to interfere with it...... What a change! ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like waking up a person in a dream, and he immediately knew that Jiang Yan was not only about King Xing's face, but also likely to affect the direction of the throne.

On this night, the barking of dogs continued to sound in the streets and alleys, and the doors of some large shops were knocked open, and these powerful people were actually preparing a valuable dowry overnight. (End of chapter)
