The choice of reason and emotion made Emperor Zhengde unable to face Li Dongyang well.

Of course, he can use some reasons to knock Li Dongyang into the dust.

But if he does this, will anyone stand up for him in the future?

At the beginning, he was angry at the crown, Ling Chi Liu Jin, and how many people who took refuge in the emperor were scared away?

If he is a ranger who walks the world with a sword, of course, he can let his personal emotional likes and dislikes take revenge, revenge, and revenge, regardless of the consequences.

However, he is the emperor who sits on the throne, and he has to sacrifice to fight against the elite group whose interests have become an iron plate.

When Emperor Zhengde went to Xishan again to offer incense to Liu Dong's father, he silently recited these words in his heart.

He can only pin his trust that Liu Dong can understand himself and forgive himself.

And Liu Xuejiang has already walked out of her own life path. Whether it is the entanglement with the prince of the grassland, or the participation in the peasant uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi, she used her unique choice to shed a different life, that willful and unscrupulous life.

Emperor Zhengde finally came out of his past emotions and started a new life.

However, at this time, he found out that none of the women he could fully control could give birth to children.

After trusting the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he had to be convinced that he had lost his fertility.

Maybe it's because he was poisoned when he was a child, or maybe it's because he fell into an ice cave on the outskirts of Beijing, although his body is still healthy, he no longer has the ability to give birth to offspring.

This discovery made him feel like a bolt from the blue.

In other words, Erlang, Zhu Gang, who was raised in the Funing Hou Mansion, is his only heir.

Emperor Zhengde didn't dare to bring Erlang into the palace, so he found an excuse outside the palace to see the child.

The corner of his eyes that was no different from his own made him not doubt that Erlang was his bloodline.

But do you want to bring Erlang back to the palace to recognize him?

If you really do this, you have to find a biological mother with a suitable identity for Erlang. In the first year of Zhengde, choose one of the palace maids who had crossed paths with him before the wedding.

Emperor Zhengde was still quietly doing these things, and the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager soon sensed his appeal.

Before he could decide on the candidate, someone couldn't wait to grab the shot.

In the first month of the ninth year of Zhengde, the Qianqing Palace caught fire, burning countless palace maids and eunuchs who served here.

Where did Emperor Zhengde not understand the reason behind this?

He looked at the fire that had burned all night in the leopard room, and had to sneer: "What a big fireworks." ”

Since then, Emperor Zhengde has completely given up the idea of taking Erlang back to the palace and inheriting Emperor Zuo.

This emperor seems to be the most noble person in the world, and he is also the most involuntary person.

He only has this bloodline, as long as he can keep him safe and happy, as for the throne, whoever loves it should go!

In order to appease the people, after the fire in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhengde also issued an order to sin himself:

I respectfully accept the destiny of heaven to keep the inheritance of the ancestors, work diligently all night, and try to govern, but the one who clears the palace disaster, I am frightened, I don't know what to do, I can't fulfill the ritual of respecting the gods of heaven and things, the law of the ancestors and the saints is not kept, the use of the house may not be appropriate, the punishment or reward is not just, the levy is too heavy and the people are harmed, the labor is prosperous and the people are laborious, slander and then turn a deaf ear, bribe the public and the government is perverse, the law is treacherous and the profession is not repaired, the punishment is inappropriate and the thieves have not yet seen the rest, there is one of these, all of which are enough to hurt and cause disasters.

Quiet words and thoughts, repentance and enlightenment, Erwen and Wu ministers were appointed by me, righteousness and weal and woe, and their hearts were corrected and repaired provinces, which was related to the current affairs of the people, and the loss of the military and civilian interests.

The ministers flew like snowflakes to the Qianqing Palace. Cabinet Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, and Fei Hong were impeached.

The Qianqing Palace was burned down, and the construction was a large amount of money.

Zhao Jing, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, supervised the Qianqing Palace project as Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, and swallowed hundreds of thousands of treasury gold. After Zhao Jing's death, Qian Ning pretended to send a lieutenant to the funeral, forcing Zhao Jing's wife to help Zi out of the funeral, and his other concubines and family belongings were all possessed by Qian Ning.

The situation in Beijing was stable, and Emperor Zhengde was no longer satisfied with sitting firmly in the capital.

His gaze turned to the border town.

……

In the eleventh year of Zhengde, Zhu Gang, the second son of the nine-year-old Marquis of Funing, went to Xuanfu accompanied by Old Man Lou.

A nine-year-old child, at an ignorant age of being sensible and ignorant, has too many temptations in the capital. Even Zhu Qi, the Marquis of Funing, could not guarantee that he would not let some people with ill intentions affect his mind.

After thinking about it, Zhu Qi still decided to send Zhu Gang to Zhu Yue of Xuanfu for education and training.

Only when you have truly seen the cruelty of life can you learn to cherish it and not be led by the nose.

On this day, Qin Liu was reading the account book in the newly opened inn, but he didn't want to meet two guests, one big and one small.

She didn't look up, but just beckoned, "Guest." ”

In the past few years, she has made limited money selling coal, and she has to look at her old business again - opening an inn.

There is a lot of traffic between Datong and Xuanfu, and she opened an inn on the side of the official road, which can make money much faster than digging coal.

With the background of Maang, a military attache from the third grade, it is not a big deal to take land or build a store.

Because of the successful case of the Jiangxuezhai Inn, she simply reproduced the Jiangxuezhai Inn opened by Ma Yue in Datong, and some of the personnel needed by the inn could also be hired from Ma Yue.

The popularity of the newly opened inn is not so strong, and business needs to accumulate slowly. At present, there is still a floating loss on the books.

"Shopkeeper." The visitor just shouted kindly.

Qin Liu's hand couldn't help but tremble.

She couldn't believe it, and it took her half a moment to raise her head.

The two old men with gray temples in front of him, with his hands and shoulders shrunk, wearing a half-new muslin cotton jacket, are the old man Lou, her former partner in Yanzilou.

Qin Liu's gaze quickly shifted from Old Man Lou to the young man beside Old Man Lou.

The young man looked eight or nine years old, with fair skin, slightly raised eyes, dressed in satin clothes, bright eyes, and curiously looking at the decoration of the inn.

"Here, why does it look familiar?" The young man asked the old man Lou beside him curiously.

Tears instantly blurred Qin Liu's eyes. She looked inquiringly at Old Man Lou for verification.

Old man Lou just smiled at her and nodded.

Qin Liu couldn't cry for a moment.

In order to find Bars, who had not been heard from, she resolutely left Doren and never saw her children again.

After many years of separation, the child stood in front of her again, but she couldn't recognize it.

The young man was frightened by Qin Liu's uncontrollable emotions, and pulled Old Man Lou to leave: "Otherwise, let's change the inn and stay at the post station." "He doesn't have any position, and living in a post station is to damage the reputation of the Funing Hou Mansion, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble for the Funing Hou Mansion that is now extremely low-key.

If someone takes the opportunity to impeach Fu Ninghou because of this, it will not be good.

Old man Lou smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, won't you accept us?" ”
