Ganqing Palace, Donghunting Pavilion.

Longqing slept with a comfortable sleep. After enjoying the exquisite snacks, he was about to set up his way to the Hall of Heart. He had just sent someone to notify Mandariwa to wait there.

Although there are many beauties in the harem now, there are many beautiful beauties with national beauty, compared with the passionate Mandariwa, other women in the palace seem much inferior.

Just now, I put down the bowls and chopsticks in my hand, but when I saw Concubine Li appearing in front of me without reporting, I couldn't help but feel a headache.

Even if his mind is dull, seeing Concubine Li cold on the coffin face at this moment, he still knows why Concubine Li suddenly broke into him.

In the early years, in his cage-like life in Prince Yu's Mansion, Zhu Yijun brought him great comfort, so he loved Concubine Li and Zhu Yijun very much.

During the Spring Festival, under the urge of the eldest princess and with the fact that he had such thoughts, he readily agreed to appoint the crown prince Zhu Yijun as the crown prince.

However, he did not expect that the matter would be so strongly opposed by the ministers. The matter of establishing a crown prince was not that the emperor wanted to establish him, but that he had to obtain unanimous consent of the ministers.

"The family greets the queen!" Teng Xiang saw Concubine Li with a big belly breaking in, and immediately greeted him with a smile.

After Concubine Li was interrupted, her resentment was immediately diluted, but she still asked with resentment: "Your Majesty, I heard that Jun'er's enthronement of the crown prince is ruined?"

When Teng Xiang saw Concubine Li's attitude of raising an army to question the crime, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Longqing with concern.

Longqing is a gentle person who appears to be honest and shakes his head and denies: "No, who did you hear?"

"Your Majesty, don't deceive me. I just heard that Mr. Xu proposed to confer Jun'er as the crown prince this morning, but ministers led by Mr. Lin strongly opposed it!" Concubine Li was a little arrogant and held her son. The smell seemed to be angrily said.

Although she has always had a bit of affection for Lin Xuran, after all, the Lin family has given her a lot of good things over the years, but now Lin Xuran opposes her Jun'er's enthronement of the crown prince, so she is only left with anger.

Longqing was very displeased with Concubine Li's inquiry, but he explained patiently and seriously: "What Master Lin said is far-reaching. Now that he wants to talk about the establishment of a crown prince, then he will talk about the legitimate and then the eldest son. There is nothing wrong with it!"

Although he did not want this matter to change, he was not disgusted with Lin Junran's proposal to go to court. Since he intended to confer the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun as the crown prince, he had to face the problem of the emperor's legitimate son, and it was far-sighted to let the Imperial Hospital diagnose it. .

Tengxiang also knew what happened in the morning court, and he also agreed with Lin Shiran's actions, looking at the unreasonable Concubine Li with complicated eyes.

As it turns out, women are indeed an unreasonable creature, especially women in pregnancy.

Concubine Li's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very aggrieved and asked: "Emperor, there is no such thing as a legitimate first and then a eldest son. The queen has not given birth to her at all! You only have Zhu Yijun, and if you don't make him the crown prince, who else can you make her? For the prince?"

this……

When Teng Xiang saw Concubine Li making such a fool, he couldn't help but secretly watch Longqing's reaction.

Although Zhu Yijun is the only choice now, Concubine Li is too unreasonable. Longqing does have only Zhu Yijun, but Longqing is only thirty-two now, but he can continue to have children.

It is not a big mistake for those ministers to oppose the enthronement of the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Yijun. After all, it is not unimaginable to have another legitimate son at the age of the emperor and the queen.

But the mason's woman was short-sighted, but she insisted that Longqing had only one son, and she had no idea that the queen had the possibility of giving birth to the emperor's legitimate son.

"My beloved concubine, that's what she said, but she's not afraid of ten thousand, but she's afraid of it. If Queen Chen really gave birth to her..." Long Qing was indeed looking at Zhu Yijun in his heart, but he also said with some scruples.

"Then you have to make my Jun'er the crown prince too! You don't joke. This is what you promised me personally. The eldest princess was still there at that time!" Concubine Li immediately interrupted Longqing's words, and then cried aggrievedly as she said.

Come out and tell.

In her heart, the emperor had actually agreed to appoint his son Zhu Yijun as the crown prince, so there could be no more variables in this matter, and it would be even impossible for the queen to give birth to the emperor's legitimate son.

Longqing couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw Concubine Li so unreasonable.

"Empress, the emperor naturally wanted to enthrone the eldest son as the crown prince, otherwise he would not have asked Shangshu Zhang to mention this matter today. But those ministers insisted that the Imperial Hospital examine the queen's health first, and the emperor would not be able to do this.

He asked and fought against the ministers, so please give the emperor a little more time. I believe the emperor will give Concubine Li a satisfactory answer!" Tengxiang looked at Long Qing speechlessly, and immediately stood up and persuaded.

Concubine Li cares most about whether her son can be crowned as crown prince. Now that she knows that things are different from what she thinks, she asks in a gentle tone: "Master, do you really have not changed your wish?"

"I really want to appoint Jun'er as the crown prince!" Long Qing also gave a very definite answer when facing Concubine Li who was erect.

People's hearts are full of flesh. His eldest son has accompanied him for five years. He really hopes to hand over his throne to this eldest son.

After waiting for the exact answer, Concubine Li left obediently after Teng Xiang repeatedly guaranteed her.

Longqing was fussed by Concubine Li, and suddenly realized that the matter of resigning the crown prince was more troublesome than expected. So he asked Tengxiang for help and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not easy to deal with, so what should I do?"

"In the past, the late emperor would ask Mr. Xu to discuss any difficult matters, and Mr. Xu could solve them properly every time. Therefore, the late emperor trusted Mr. Xu very much and said that Mr. Xu was good at everything!" Tengxiang seemed to have been early

Just as I waited for this sentence, I immediately praised Xu Jie and said.

"I won't go to the Yangxin Palace for now. You can go and summon Master Xu!" Long Qing's heart moved slightly, and he immediately made a decision and said authentically.

His impression of Xu Jie was not too high at first, especially after his teacher Gao Gong was squeezed away by Xu Jie, he once hated this old assistant.

However, over the past period of time, Xu Jie's ability to do things has been gradually reflected. For example, this time, Xu Jie fulfilled his long-cherished wish to be crowned the eldest son of the emperor.

If Xu Jie can do what he has assigned with satisfaction, then the knot in his past is nothing. It is undoubtedly a blessing for the emperor to have a chief minister who can do his own job.

But soon, Xu Jie was summoned from Wenyuan Pavilion, and Xu Jie appeared respectfully in front of Longqing, and was already the most loyal minister in the world.

The capital city in the first lunar month seems to be chilly in spring.

The people in the capital have gradually returned to normal living order, but are seeking a family's livelihood through hard work.

For ordinary people, they usually focus on the current three meals a day. However, for officials, their careers often lasted for three dynasties, but they need to focus on ten years later or even further.

As the dispute over the establishment of the crown prince began, the entire officialdom was filled with a different atmosphere. Although the struggle and positioning of the crown prince could not have much impact on its current status and power, this matter will directly affect the future.

.

Why did Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng break through and get a rocket-like promotion? It is precisely because they stood on the side of King Yu, but they followed King Yu to "make a fortune".

Once you stand in the wrong line in the matter of establishing a crown prince, you may be in a state of doom in the future, so this is a matter that all officials will be extremely cautious.

Of course, there is no positive conflict between the two sides. After all, the emperor's legitimate son is imaginary. Once it is confirmed that the queen cannot give birth, officials including Lin Qingran and Pan Sheng will take the initiative to give in.

Lin Weiran, wearing a python robe, sat upright in the signing room of the Ministry of War. He was checking the latest military information and occasionally called Ningjiang and other officials to discuss it.

Altan's situation was not good in the end. Since his defeat in Shanxi, his prestige has been reduced, but he has to face the dual threat of the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Wassai.

But in the summer, the grassland suffered from drought, which caused their harvest to be bad, and the cold wave in the winter directly freezes countless cattle and sheep.

The new Later Jin regime established by Altan is already facing a potential crisis. If one is handled improperly, the new regime may fall apart.

Although Altan and the Ming Dynasty had already made tribute, the rewards they received were simply dropping a drop in the bucket and could not meet their material needs at all.

If the Ming Dynasty did not agree to the trade and did not allow Altan's new regime to receive the shocked materials openly, then the two sides would have to fight again.

That's right, when I saw Altan's military situation in Xuanfu, I saw that Altan seemed to be invading at any time, I didn't feel any surprise in my heart.

But he believed that the war between the two sides was no longer as small fights as before. Once the agreement was torn apart, Altan would attack with all his strength, and there would be a war that was not inferior to last year's Shanxi Battle.

Lin Weiran put down his military situation and ordered Wu Guifang opposite him: "Mr. Wu, you must pay attention to the movements on the nine sides. Once Altan tear up the peace agreement, the cavalry battalion will immediately go to the front line!"

"Sir, obey the order!" Wu Guifang knew that Altan would make a comeback, and seemed respectful and authentic.

When we were in the yamen, officials from Dongjiang Mixiang walked out of their respective yamen offices.

Lin Qingran followed the usual, walked to the main courtyard of the Ministry of War on time, and then returned to his home in a sedan chair, while Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong would wait in the front yard.

Seeing his wife and children greet each other, especially Hu Zi and Lei'er gradually growing up, he clearly felt the burden on his shoulders and understood why his father-in-law always liked to keep his face back then.

It is said that "people are in the world and cannot help themselves." In fact, the same is true in the officialdom, but not only should we focus on the current struggles, but we should also make arrangements for the future.

Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong are used to Lin Qiran's appearance, especially they all know that Lin Qiran is a normal phenomenon after being in a high position, but Lin Qiran undoubtedly loves them deeply.

Lin Qingran learned that Lin usually planned to stay overnight in the horse farm, but she shook her head helplessly at the wild girl, and then enjoyed dinner with Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong.

While eating, Wu Daoxing, with silver hair, walked from the other end of the kitchen with a slightly drunken look, holding a roast chicken that was gnawed beyond recognition, and looked leisurely and contented.

Faced with Wu Daoxing's quirks, the Lin family has long been accustomed to it, but thanks to his superb Feng Shui master, he has also won the respect of the Lin family.

Lin Qingran was originally thinking about his sister. When he saw Wu Daoxing sitting down on a chair not far away, he couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Master Wu, you should know about the morning court today, right?"

"The old Taoist's ears are not deaf. This matter has spread throughout the streets and alleys. How can there be no reason to be ignorant?" Master Wu poured the fine wine from the gourd into his mouth and responded naturally.

Lin Qingran stopped chopsticks, but asked seriously: "What do you think about the emperor's legitimate son?"

Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong were both determined to become Lin Yanran’s virtuous supporters. Seeing that things were related to the future of the Lin family, they also stopped their chopsticks and looked at Wu Daoxing.

Wu Daoxing bit off another piece of chicken to the unrecognizable roast chicken, and responded vaguely: "Didn't I say it? There is something wrong with Queen Chen's ancestral tomb, and it has to be changed!"

"If you change it, can you ensure that Empress Chen gives birth to a legitimate son?" Lin Qingran took the tea sent by Lin Jinyuan and asked seriously.

Wu Daoxing swallowed the flesh in his mouth, shook his head gently and said, "You can try it, but the old Taoist cannot do it 100%, but Gu'anbo probably won't agree!"

"Why did Gu'anbo disagree?" Lin Qingran stopped the tea that was sent to his mouth and asked in confusion.

Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong also turned their heads in confusion and looked at Wu Daoxing, but they didn't know why Gu'anbo opposed it. This could be a great thing for an emperor's grandson!

Wu Daoxing poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and wiped it with his sleeve, saying, "Gu'anbo's ancestral tomb is rich in green leaves and red flowers. Once the ancestral tomb is moved, his son will be backfired and may be moved.

There will be life worries about the grave on the day!”

this……

Wu Qiuyu and Hua Yingrong didn't expect Gu'anbo's ancestral tomb to be so evil, but they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lin Yueran helplessly.

After Lin Xuran learned that the Chen family’s ancestral tomb had such a statement, he took a big sip of the tea he held in his hand and found that things were much more difficult than he thought.

For his own interests, and from the history of later generations, he learned that Wanli once wanted to whip his teacher Zhang Juzheng's body, but he knew that the eldest son of the emperor was a cold and ruthless person.

If Empress Chen could give birth to a young son, then with his current status and power, he would have enough confidence to support the emperor's legitimate son to the throne of the crown prince, and would naturally become the next emperor.

Compared with Zhu Yijun, the eldest son of the emperor who is already at a certain age, a younger emperor is undoubtedly more conducive to his control of the overall situation of the next dynasty.

But I never expected that the Chen family's ancestral tomb could not be moved as soon as I wanted to move. The Gu'an Bo Chen Jingxing undoubtedly hoped that he would have a grandson who could be the emperor, but the price was that it would be a different matter for him to lose his sons and grandsons in the Chen family.
