Empress Dowager Zhou was also a little annoyed: "What bad intentions does this palace have, I just want to hold my grandson earlier, what's wrong?" ”

"Isn't that already there?"

"Are you sure it's a grandson?" Empress Dowager Zhou snorted, "Even if it is, it is not a grandson, the emperor has no son-in-law, who will inherit the unification after thousands of generations?" ”

"I'm not a son-in-law, neither is the first emperor, nor is the emperor." Zhu Jianshen said.

Empress Dowager Zhou was angry: "Can that be the same?" The first emperor was ordered to be in danger, and the emperor was not a concubine at first, but later...... How? Do you still want that old woman to be the queen? ”ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ

"Not really, that's what I want to say...... There are grandchildren, but there are no grandchildren. ”

"As long as you want, how can you not have a concubine?" Empress Dowager Zhou's airway.

Zhu Jian sighed deeply, and said lightly: "Queen Mother, I told you clearly, the queen can't get pregnant, because I can't trust her." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled angrily: "Can you trust that older woman?" ”

"Well, because she's the cleanest." Zhu Jianshen asked rhetorically, "How can you guarantee that today's queen will not be like yesterday's queen?" ”

"Good, good!" Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that she trembled, "Now that you have grown up, you don't listen to the words of the queen mother......"

"I won't listen to anyone!!" Zhu Jianshen roared, and the resentment accumulated for many days exploded, and his face was hideous, "The ministers suppressed me with the words of the so-called saints, and suppressed me with the society of the rivers and mountains, but Fan I had some thoughts of his own, so they were anxious, hehe......

After all, don't you just want me to do what they want?

Now, the queen mother is the same, suppressing me with filial piety and making me obedient, hehe...... Obedient...... It is clearly intended to empty the imperial power to satisfy selfish desires! ”

Zhu Jian sighed faintly: "I am restrained enough, but you don't know how to restrain at all, you stand on the moral high ground, and restrain me with high-sounding rules and regulations, but don't forget, who is the Ming Emperor!?" ”

"You ......"

"Queen Mother, please think clearly, it is not you who is the queen mother, and I am the emperor, but I am the emperor, and you are the queen mother." Zhu Jianshen said lightly.

After that, no matter how the Empress Dowager Zhou reacted, she left with her sleeves straight.

Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned......

…

The next day, the morning dynasty.

After the gift of the monarch and the minister, Yao Kui, the head of the household, took the lead in going out of class, first congratulating the emperor on getting the dragon son, and then on the grounds that the queen had no children, let the dragon son be born and recognize the queen as his mother.

This piece of advice was marketable and immediately gained support from many people.

Zhu was deeply furious, he ignored the noise of the ministers, and just looked at Yao Kui coldly, the look in his eyes ...... Sharp and murderous.

Yao Kui was a little unbearable, and asked for a supplement: "The minister is also dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, if he gives birth to a son-in-law in the future, he will change it back." ”

Zhu Jianshen's eyes were still cold.

Yao Kui stubbornly said: "Of course, if it's not a dragon son, it's a princess, then naturally there is no need... Heh, hehe......"

Lu Yu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, echoed, Bai Gui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and some waiters, directors, and outsiders all agreed.

Zhu Jianshen still didn't speak, just looked at these people, and there was a risk that the imperial case would fly off at any time......

Gradually, the voice of solidarity became quieter and quieter, and finally the whole hall fell silent, and no one said anything.

They knew that this was excessive, and there was no doubt that the first woman with a dragon was most likely the emperor's favorite, but the more this happened, the more necessary it was for them to force the emperor to compromise.

If the emperor can compromise on this kind of thing, then in the future, the emperor will have more room for compromise.

The so-called struggle between monarchs and ministers, to put it bluntly, is a tug-of-war against power, you force me to retreat, you retreat I ride the face......

Zhu Jianshen naturally understands, so even if he is not Wan Zhen'er, he will not compromise, because as long as he compromises, there will be more things to compromise in the future.

But now he really doesn't have the ability to turn his face, and the hand holding the royal case trembled for a long time, but he didn't lift it in the end.

Zhu Jianshen knew that it was useless to say cruel words, so he simply didn't say anything and watched what they said......

Just look at it......

For the next half an hour, Zhu Jianshen didn't say a word, no matter what the ministers reported, he was always silent.

The ministers are not afraid of Zhu Jianshen's madness, let alone his scolding or something, even if they are punished, they don't care much, they are used to using their 'weakness' to win sympathy and create public opinion.

Going to prison and beating the court staff proves that they are outspoken and outspoken, which can not only get a good reputation, but also put pressure on the emperor, and finally continue to be officials.

Nine out of ten officials in the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of being beaten, and some people even beg to be beaten, not because they are cheap, but because this trick is really useful.

Except for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di who do not talk about martial arts, generally speaking, as long as it is not a mistake of principle, they will not be severely punished;

There are even many people who, after being beaten on the board, immediately became famous, and were praised and revered by Shilin people......

Under the evolution of this atmosphere, it is common for the emperor to be scolded, unless the emperor completely enslaves the courtiers, the courtiers scold one, and the emperor kills one.

Only by treating hundreds of officials and even officials all over the world as slaves can such incidents be prevented!

But in that case, no one will really dare to speak up, dare to tell the truth, and there will be flattery everywhere, which is an immeasurable disaster for a country.

And there is no such precedent in previous dynasties, which Han emperor is not scolded?

I'm used to it.

I am used to being scolded, and I am used to scolding......

Especially the speech officials, who don't scold the emperor every once in a while, always feel sorry for their own money.

They were not afraid of the emperor's anger, and they were not afraid of the emperor's irritability, because these were all manifestations of cowardice, but Zhu Jianshen didn't say anything, just stared at them coldly.

This look ...... It's hair-grabbing.

Zhu Jianshen is young, only eighteen years old, and no one dares to guarantee that if this young and vigorous little emperor is really in a hurry, he will do something crazy.

Using the rules to suppress, and even control the emperor, is their forte, really forcing the emperor to flip the table, the emperor is not unlucky, not to mention, they will definitely be unlucky first.

…

"Scatter!" Zhu Jianshen got up and said, "Zhongqing has a book, and I will leave it for reading." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......!" The ministers saluted, and their arrogance was obviously weakened.

This time, no one shouted for the emperor to stay, and then died to the end.

Because...... It's really possible to die.

Li Qing came back from the Hanlin Academy, and when he heard Yu Qian talk about the events at the court meeting, he just laughed.

"It doesn't matter, there's always a process of adaptation." Li Qing said leisurely, "The first emperor was finally kind to the hundred officials, and this hoop has to be tightened.

Zi said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are far away are resentful, and those who are close are disrespectful; That's it! ”

Yu Qian: "......"

"Alright, you can rest too." Li Qing patted him on the shoulder, "You are not the first day to be an official, it has been many years, how can this kind of thing ever be broken?" ”

Yu Qian was stunned, nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, it's time to get used to it." ”

Li Qing was silent when he heard this, and squeezed out a smile, "Okay, I'm going home." ”

"Sir, let's go to my house for lunch at noon, let's have a drink or two." Yu Qian invited, he knew that Li Qing was usually too lazy to die, and he was even too lazy to eat.

"Nope." Li Qing waved his hand, "There are also some things at home." ”

What can happen at home...... Yu Qian scratched his head, and just wanted to keep it again, but Li Qing had already turned around and left.

Yu Qian suddenly remembered something, his face darkened, and finally let out a long sigh, full of bitterness.

…

Small courtyard.

"Uh~ah~" the donkey called, tilting his head to the side.

"Alright, let's have something to eat." Li Qing stroked the donkey's head and whispered, "Don't lose your temper, eat some." ”

The fine fodder was fed to his mouth, but the donkey had no appetite, and ate only a little bit and then stopped eating, lying on the ground with big eyes and no eyes.

It was in a very bad state, and its smooth fur was now dull, and it was almost a bald donkey, and it looked weak and haggard.

The donkey is old, and according to the age of the person, it is now in his eighties.

"Brother Donkey, eat a little more, just a little." Li Qing handed over the fodder again.

The donkey also gave face, and ate a little more, but the state was still surprisingly bad.

Li Qing didn't force it anymore, clapped his hands, sat down in front of it, and chattered.

The donkey squinted, basked in the sun, listened to the chatter, and enjoyed it quietly......

It seemed to know that it was going to die, its big eyes were full of nostalgia, its head rubbed against the corner of Li Qingyi, and it breathed the smell of his body, as if it wanted to remember this smell forever.

In the spring of March, the sun is warm, shining on the body warmly and comfortably, the donkey gradually sleeps, snoring slightly, and the big ears flutter from time to time to drive away the nasty mosquitoes and flies.

Li Qing brought a basin of warm water to help the donkey repel insects and make it more comfortable.

Back then, it was only more than half a year old, and it was sold by the original owner in the market, with big eyes and bright eyes, looking at the crowd full of curiosity.

After so many years in the blink of an eye, the donkey has also reached his twilight years, his big eyes are no longer godly, and his black and shiny hair is scattered, Li Qing has no choice but to sigh that time flies.

Yes, he has not been able to ......

The donkey is getting worse day by day, and the time limit may be reached, and after only a few days, it will not be able to eat anymore.

It became irritable and didn't seem to want to leave so soon, it wanted to...... Stay.

However, in the end, he was powerless to change his ...... The state is getting worse and worse.

Li Qing has been comforting it, accompanying him and never leaving.

After another three days, the donkey was completely at its limit, its big eyes narrowed into a slit, and it could hardly open them, but it still struggled to open its eyes every once in a while to see if Li Qing was there.

"Yes, I've always been there." Li Qing stroked its head and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I won't leave." ”

"Hmm~ah~" The donkey was relieved, his eyelids gradually drooped, and finally he closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

It's just that...... This time it fell asleep, and it never woke up again.

Li Qingkut sat in the donkey shed for a long time......

Finally, he cleaned the donkey shed, cleaned the ground, bathed the donkey, and then dug a deep pit and buried the donkey in it.

Finally, everything is back to the way it was......
