Chapter 2 The third son of the emperor came into the world, Wang Jiaping's premonition

"Your Majesty, is this Hanlin compilation position lower? Don't you really appreciate this person? Don't...... What's wrong with him? ”

At the end of the ceremony, Emperor Wanli walked towards the dormitory with Zheng Guifei, and as she walked, Zheng Guifei asked.

Although Emperor Wanli was a little puzzled why Concubine Zheng Guifei, who had never cared about political affairs, suddenly cared so much about this champion at this time, he still explained:

"It's not that he doesn't agree with me, but since Yingzong, there has been an unwritten convention in the court, non-Jinshi is not allowed to enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet."

"I let him enter the Hanlin Academy, so I want to reuse his meaning, otherwise I will stop at the sixth department, what a pity?"

Then he laughed and said:

"The dream realm also saw this person's talent, I can't bear to miss this talent! Don't worry, my eyes are poisonous! ”

"No, among these thousands of beauties, you are the only one who values your concubine?"

Concubine Zheng smiled and threw herself into the emperor's arms, and the two laughed together......

……

In the blink of an eye, the man who was talking and laughing with the emperor was already lying on the bed, surrounded by many midwives.

"Hard, hard...... Mother, work harder! ”

"See the head, mother, go on!"

"The dragon seed is coming out soon!"

Anxious cries came from inside the house, and in the outer room, which was cut off by yellow silk, the Wanli Emperor was waiting anxiously.

Although this is his third son, Wanli's mood at this time is like that of an ordinary husband who is about to become a father.

The eldest son, Zhu Changluo, was born to Concubine Gong, but he didn't have the slightest feelings, and this son was like a passerby to him.

The second son, Zhu Changyu, was the son who made him feel like a father for the first time, because he was born to Concubine Zheng Guifei, but unfortunately, the child died only a few hours after he was born.

However, even if it was such a little life that returned to nature not long after he was born, Wanli posthumously crowned him the king, which shows his deep feelings for Concubine Zheng and the two heirs.

At this time, Concubine Zheng was about to give birth to their second crystallization, how could Wanli not be excited? He even left his busy affairs here to wait for Concubine Zheng's birth.

As a cry resounded through the palace, the emperor jerked to his feet.

"Your Majesty, it's the prince!" The eunuch's voice of joy came, and the imperial doctor, who had already been in place, immediately rushed forward, learning the lesson of the previous time, the emperor must not let the tragedy happen again.

A day later, the imperial doctor told Wanli that the mother and son were all well.

He saw the Emperor raise his head in delight, his eyes filled with great joy.

"Message!"

"Enter the concubine Zheng family, for the imperial concubine!"

He almost blurted it out.

……

The news of the birth of the third son of the emperor and the emperor's canonization of the Zheng family as the imperial concubine spread like a gust of wind into the homes of the hundred officials in Beijing.

When Shen Shixing learned the news, he was talking to Yan Qihua, enjoying a rare tranquility.

After listening to the attendant's message, he couldn't help frowning and said softly:

"It has been four years since the eldest son of the emperor was born, but His Majesty has not established a crown prince for a long time, and the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor is still only a concubine, but the third son of the emperor has just been born, and Zheng Guifei was canonized as the imperial concubine......"

Yan Yihua interface:

"Your Majesty's thoughts have been made clear...... I want to make the third son of the emperor the crown prince! ”

Shen Shixing nodded, this was a situation he didn't want to see. He has always been committed to maintaining the stability of the court, but once the emperor wants to establish a child, then the ministers will definitely rise up and attack, which will definitely cause turmoil in the court, which is contrary to his original intention.

He didn't have the heart to play chess, so he threw away the sunspot in his hand and leaned back on the chair.

Yan Qihua walked around to Shen Shixing's back, gently massaged him, and said softly:

"The power of the ministers, even if they are the Son of Heaven, may not be able to disobey...... In my opinion, most of them are the eldest son of the emperor who ascended the throne. ”

"Back then, Taizong wanted to establish the king of Han, but wasn't it Renzong who ascended the throne in the end?"

Shen Shixing sighed softly:

"It's not that simple. His Majesty's favor for the Zheng family far exceeds that of other concubines, and what happened back then was that the King of Han himself was too arrogant, otherwise the outcome was still unknown. ”

"Is there still a lot of love in history?"

"I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the court to be quiet in the future, and I, the first assistant, will bear the brunt!"

"Qihua...... Ask me what Chen Guogong means. ”

Although Yan Qihua is in the same vein as the Duke of Yue, but the two dukes of Chen and Yue, although they are called two veins, they are actually a family, and since Shen Shixing entered the imperial court, he has also been quite connected with the contemporary Chen Guogong, and they have advanced and retreated together. At this time, it is natural to ask Chen Guogong's opinion for this major event.

Although for him, he must be more inclined to the eldest son to ascend the throne, after all, the eldest and younger cannot be abolished, but neither of them is a descendant, and the emperor obviously favors one side...... This is a possibility.

Originally, in history, many officials took a fancy to this and fell to Concubine Zheng.

For example, Liu Tingyuan, the imperial historian of Shaanxi Province, and Hu Shixiang, Langzhong of the Criminal Department, who were in charge of the trial after the attack case, insisted that Zhang Cha had a brain disease and demanded that he be executed immediately, making it clear that they were in line. It can be seen that the third son of the emperor is not completely impossible.

Shen Shixing also saw this, so he did not intend to make a clear statement.

Yan Qihua responded softly.

On the other hand, unlike Shen Shixing's feelings, Wang Jiaping, who was the second assistant at the time, felt threat and anger.

He was able to become the cabinet assistant of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally had his political vision, and from the behavior of Emperor Wanli, he also saw the young emperor's intentions.

After hearing about this, he immediately found his colleague and said angrily:

"The eldest son of the emperor was born, his mother was only canonized Concubine Gong, the third son of the emperor was born, but the concubine Zheng was registered as the imperial concubine, since the twelfth year of Wanli, in just two years, two levels in a row, two sons and three sons came into the world, and the grace of his mother was far greater than that of the eldest son, this is a courtesy?"

"The eldest son of the emperor was born for four years, and the position of the crown prince is still undecided, and Concubine Zheng has just given birth, so she has received such a favor...... Your Majesty's heart is known to passers-by! ”

Colleagues also voiced strong dissatisfaction, they grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, they are resolute defenders of the Confucian etiquette system, and they resolutely do not allow the emperor to mess around like this!

Wang Jiaping looked behind him, and many courtiers had a twinkle in their eyes and stared at him tightly.

He raised his arms and shouted:

"I'll write together, please abolish the position of the imperial concubine of the Zheng family, change the title of the emperor's eldest son's biological mother Wang as the imperial concubine, and set up the emperor's eldest son as the crown prince, in order to extinguish His Majesty's thoughts!"

The ministers agreed with a bang.
