After the palace test, Zhu Qiyu gave the courtiers a three-day holiday.

Everyone had a good rest for three days, and then read the papers, published the list, and selected Shu Jishi and Hanlin Academy to edit and edit.

Different from the previous imperial examinations, Zhu Qiyu also had to select a group of scholars.

According to the current experience, going to the Hanlin Academy is obviously not as good as following the scholars among the emperors.

The Hanlin Yuan was a noble yamen, and the Zhongshu people were responsible for handling government affairs for the emperor from the beginning.

……

On the morning of March 18, the weather was fine.

Zhu Qiyu got up early and came to serve his favorite concubine and eldest son.

To Zhu Qiyu's amazement, as soon as he entered the inner room, he saw that Lin Xiangyu had already gotten up and walked around.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Little princess, are you in such good health, you have been alive for only three days?" ”

Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Thanks to Fujun's compassion, he has been lying on a big belly for several months, and now he is as light as a swallow, so he can't move quickly."

The slave family has to recover quickly so that they can compete with their sisters for favor. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, fight, fight, I won't be pregnant again after three months.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiangyu continued to coquettishly say: "Discuss something with your husband, the slave family doesn't want to have another child in the past few years, I don't know if your husband can agree?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then nodded very affirmatively: "If you don't give birth, you won't give birth, my favorite concubine has a big belly all day long, and she can't sleep, in fact, I'm quite tormented."

Anyway, I already have an eldest son, so I don't have to worry about the rest, I can give birth if I want to, and I don't want to have another life. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Qiyu's words fell, the other favorite concubines also responded.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and agreed to it.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Qiyu continued to add: "You have a total of ten princes, and you can raise them all for me to grow up safely."

Xuanzong has a total of two sons, isn't he also living well.

Now that the throne of our family is being stabilized too quickly, it seems that there is no need to give birth to too many princes.

If we really give birth to dozens of sons, our family can't afford to support them, the court can't afford them, and the people can't afford it.

Forget it, forget it, the princess is right, let's give birth control. ”

Even if you become an emperor, you have to have a process from youth to maturity.

Many of Zhu Qiyu's thoughts when he first became emperor have changed a lot now.

For example, at the beginning, Zhu Qiyu didn't even intend to change the prince, but now his mind has completely changed. Besides, even if he doesn't want to change Prince Yi, can so many of his cronies agree?

Especially the noble families of Duke Anguo, Marquis of Wuding, and Marquis of Chengshan, everyone pinned their heads to their waists and followed the emperor to play with their lives, not to see you pass on the throne to Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Qiyu really dares to insist on the idea of being succeeded by Zhu Jianshen, and after ten years, when his eldest son can succeed to the throne, these cronies will not be able to send His Majesty the Emperor to ride the crane to the immortals.

Let's just look at the historical Chenghua, the ability is really good. But if you look at Chenghua and Hongzhi, the father and son, together, it will have a completely negative effect on the Ming Dynasty.

Chenghua wants to snatch back fifty from the minister's hands alive or dead, and Hongzhi dares to give away one hundred.

In the end, the achievements of Chenghua and Hongzhi were combined, not only did they not snatch anything back, but they also posted fifty upside down.

The reason why the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty lived so aggrieved was that many thunders were buried by Yingzong and Xiaozong.

Xuanzong, Yingzong, Xianzong, and Xiaozong, there are three thunder masters in four generations.

Zhu Qiyu felt that it was not too much to take precautions and completely take over the imperial line of this branch.

Zhu Qiyu was thinking nonsense, and Qianxue and Su Xi also walked in from outside.

Seeing Qianxue come in, he first glanced at himself sympathetically, and Zhu Qiyu knew that he was going to finish. After the favorite concubines blended with themselves, they all became very clingy, and their eyes were always full of love.

Once there is a look like this from Qianxue, it means that trouble is coming to the door.

Sure enough, Qianxue gloated and smiled: "Husband, there are Li Fang and Li Mao, the sons of Princess Lin'an, outside, and the Duchess of Wei asked to see them." ”

"The son of Princess Lin'an? The Duchess of Wei in the last generation? Is it Xu Xianzong's widow? When they saw that I was of any use, they sent them away for me. ”

Zhu Qiyu was a little helpless, being an emperor is not only about rights, but also about responsibilities and obligations. These countless royal relatives and nobles have to be served and taken care of.

The imperial court is the same as the rivers and lakes, not only fighting, killing, but also talking about human feelings.

Qianxue smiled helplessly: "The slave family also wants to share the worries of the husband, but people think that the slave family is a little princess and is not qualified to speak on behalf of the husband." ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, his face changed with a brush, and he was about to have a seizure.

Qianxue hurriedly explained: "The slave family is joking, but their attitude is very sincere, but they must see the golden face of their husband." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded reluctantly, and first took Qianxue and Suxi to meet the eldest princess of Yongjia.

At this time, the eldest princess of Yongjia was still in the palace of King Qi, and she would not leave until the prince reached the age of 100 days.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.

Zhu Qiyu is young, how can he know the twists and turns in the families of the nobles.

From the eldest princess of Yongjia, she learned about the situation in the family of Princess Lin'an and Xu Xianzong, the former Duke of Wei, and Zhu Qiyu came out to meet the guests.

After all, the last Duchess of Wei was a widow, and Zhu Qiyu, in order to avoid suspicion, was accompanied by Concubine Wu, Qianxue, and Su Xi, and summoned Li Fang, Li Mao, and Duchess Wei at the same time.

After everyone saw the cold and made a noise, they got to the point.

Xu Xianzong and Xu Chengzong are both great-grandsons of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

Xu Xianzong had no children, and after his death, the title fell to his younger brother Xu Chengzong.

Mrs. Xu Xianzong in front of her has no children and has nothing to rely on, and she is widowed at home and has nothing to do, which is slightly redundant. Just before the death of Mu Bin, the prince of Qianguo, only his son Mu Cong, who was less than a year old, was left.

Mrs. Xu Xianzong proposed to Zhu Qiyu that she wanted to take Mu Cong, the future Duke of Qianguo, to her side to raise her.

Zhu Qiyu was a little helpless, the future Duke of Qianguo was still fragrant.

After being stunned for a while, Zhu Qiyu asked very kindly, "Where does Madame live now?" I have ordered my guards to go to Yunnan to pick up Mu Cong and raise him personally.

Does Madame want to bring Mu Cong back to Nanjing, or stay in Beijing to raise her? ”

Mrs. Xu returned: "The concubine is now living in the Dingguo Mansion with her uncle, and if Your Majesty allows it, the concubine wants to stay in Beijing to raise Mu Cong." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded, if Mrs. Xu wanted to take Mu Cong back to Nanjing, then she would definitely not agree.

But if Mrs. Xu stays in Beijing, then there is no reason to reject them completely.

Although I don't know what the current customs are, Zhu Qiyu has read "Dream of Red Mansions", and there is no problem with Jiafu, as an uncle's family, to adopt his niece Lin Daiyu; Mrs. Wang, as an aunt's family, has no problem taking in her niece Xue Baochai.

Now that Mrs. Xu, as her aunt, has to raise her nephew, there seems to be no problem.

Since Zhu Qiyu has ordered someone to take Mu Cong to the capital, and the person closest to Mu Cong in the capital is Mrs. Xu in front of him, there is no reason not to allow others to raise him.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the jade cup and slowly tasted the tea, taking advantage of this kung fu to get his brain running rapidly.

After turning a few more corners, Zhu Qiyu somewhat figured out the deep meaning of this: it is likely that raising Mu Cong is not just Mrs. Xu's personal wishes, but the joint decision of the two governments of Wei Guogong and Dingguo Gong. Is this the Duke of Wei courting itself?
