The next day, spring shone on the earth, and the world's number one city seemed magnificent. The people living here began to work like hard-working little bees.

According to the ancestral system, British Duke Zhang Rong, Zhenyuan Hou Gu Huan, son-in-law Li He, and Anxiang Bo Zhang You went to Taimiao, Sheji and other places early in the morning to celebrate the matter of enthroning the Eastern Palace.

Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the nobles have been excluded from power, and most of them have idle positions. Their biggest role seems to be to conduct various activities for the emperor.

Chengxi Palace is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Yesterday, the joy of Concubine Li giving birth to the second prince was not over. Today, the eldest son Zhu Yijun was named the crown prince as scheduled. This palace has become the most dazzling existence in the harem.

From the prince to the prince is undoubtedly a huge step. Even Concubine Li, who is in confinement, attaches great importance to it, and it becomes lively early in the morning.

Zhu Yijun is a fat sleepy child. Since he has not yet entered school, he gets up every day at 3 o'clock. Now, he has been called up early and changed into a brand new set of prince's costumes.

Although the "crowned, robe, belt, boot" in the prince's clothing is the same as the prince's standard, there are some differences in actual use to distinguish between each other's levels.

Like the prince's wings are pointed straight up, the prince's wings are pointed straight ahead, but the prince's wings are pointed straight ahead, but the prince's wings are moved downward, which is the difference between the upper and lower.

The crown prince costume worn by Zhu Yijun seems to be no different from attending grand ceremony on weekdays, but some details show extraordinaryness, which shows that he is the crown prince of the current dynasty.

"Sister-in-law, look at how energetic the prince is today!" The eldest princess resolutely led Zhu Yijun, who had just changed into the crown prince's uniform, to come to seek merit.

Zhu Yijun seemed to have not woken up yet, and yawned a long time without giving the princess face, and looked listless.

Concubine Li has already started confinement, and there is a white silk section on her forehead. When she saw Zhu Yijun's crown prince's clothes, she was secretly happy. She just warned her listless eldest son seriously: "Jun'er, from today on you, you will be the prince. You must pay more attention to your words and deeds in the future!"

"I know... I know, Mother!" Zhu Yijun responded very perfunctorily after yawning.

The eldest princess has her own little plan and looks very doting towards Zhu Yijun. She praised him, "Sister-in-law, please be happy. The prince is shedding the blood of our Zhu family, and the nobles of heaven are now walking. Even those untouchables want to learn it, they cannot learn it!"

Because he was born in the royal family and Jiajing did not have many children, the eldest princess was extremely proud of her royal bloodline, but she looked down on people of low origins from the bottom of her heart.

Even she looked down on Concubine Li, who became a monk in the mason's house, but this contempt was just for her to hide.

Zhu Yijun was a child after all. After hearing the praise from the eldest princess, he was proud of his royal blood and raised his chin proudly.

Since he became sensible, the world has been around him. The people around him are careful about him, and even his father attaches great importance to him.

Originally, he was not interested in being crowned as the crown prince, after all, he was the only son of his father. It was just that the birth of his younger brother yesterday, coupled with the earlier lectures about the emperor's legitimate son, which made him feel a little vigilant.

In love, his "throne" is not stable. Once Empress Chen gives birth to a legitimate son, even if the legitimate son is several years younger than him, the throne will belong to that legitimate son.

Now, he is no longer a three-year-old child, but he knows that the treatment of the prince and the emperor is very different, and he is also beginning to pay attention to the title of the prince this time.

As long as he is officially crowned the crown prince today, no matter whether the emperor's legitimate son appears in the future, Zhu Yijun will definitely be the next emperor.

That's right. Although he was very tired, he thought that he would completely decide his identity as the heir to the throne, and silently accepted the toss and compliments of the eldest princess and his group.

"Princess, you know that you are protecting this brat everywhere!" Concubine Li also liked to hear words praising her son, but she deliberately complained to the princess.

"I am her only dear aunt. Who should I protect if I don't protect him?" The eldest princess continued Zhu Yijun affectionately, and said for granted.

Concubine Li is no longer the simple palace maid of Prince Yu’s mansion back then, but she knows that the eldest princess is so attentive and has some plans. Thinking of her current status being rapidly elevated, she immediately asked the eldest princess: "Are you satisfied with the new female official in the eldest princess mansion?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm about to tell you! That female official was sent by the queen to follow me. She couldn't get along with me everywhere. She was just like a ghost!" When the eldest princess heard this question, she immediately said pitifully.

Concubine Li saw the princess' reaction, but knew that the root of the matter was not the female official. I am afraid that the princess was unwilling to be lonely, and the matter with the groom was probably not groundless.

But she knew in her heart that people like the eldest princess are extremely snobbish people. If she does not give some benefits appropriately, then she may not be on her side in the future, and she will not charge for herself.

Concubine Li made up her mind and immediately promised: "I am in confinement now, so it is not convenient to go to Kunning Palace. When the queen comes, I will ask the queen to change you to a female official who is satisfied with you. I believe she will sell me my face!"

"Look at what you said! You have already spoken. If she doesn't listen, then she really doesn't know how to polite her. Be careful that the emperor's brother will destroy her!" The eldest princess couldn't help but be overjoyed when she got the promise and immediately praised her with disdain.

In her heart, Empress Chen, who was not of noble origin, hadn't taken the lead. If it weren't for the death of Prince Yu's earlier, Empress Chen would not have been able to get the position of Princess, and now she is just a poor concubine with no children and neglected.

But now, Empress Chen actually restricted her through the female official system, and even sent a hateful female official to stare at her, which was simply seeking death.

This time, the eldest son Zhu Yijun entered Beijing with the celebration of the crown prince being enthroned. It was to bring her closer relationship with Concubine Li, but also to explain her own troubles, and even to make the gambler's daughter deposed by the emperor's brother.

Concubine Li saw the princess's resentment, but said calmly: "You should look for a new female official, and you will be in love with your sister-in-law!"

"I thank my sister-in-law in this way!" The eldest princess got the result she wanted and thanked her seriously.

Concubine Li was actually not happy with this bad news, but she really wanted to see the princess "charge in the battle" for her, so she responded with a smile: "It's all my family, so we should support each other more in the future!"

Although the eldest princess who called "sister-in-law" affectionately, Concubine Li never stopped him and had already agreed to the "wrong name" of the eldest princess.

Now she has given birth to another prince, and now her eldest son is about to be crowned as the crown prince. Even if Empress Chen gives birth to a legitimate son, she will not be able to compete with her eldest son anymore.

The relationship between the emperor and the queen continued to deteriorate and evolved in this way. The princess waved the flag next to her again, and she would be deposed in a few years.

Once Empress Chen is deposed, then looking at the entire harem, no one is qualified to compete with him for the position of queen, and it is impossible for him to even have this idea.

It is precisely because when I saw that my eldest son was crowned the crown prince and now that my second son was born again, I couldn't remember the throne of the queen in my heart.

"Yes, we should support each other in the future!" The eldest princess' eyes lit up slightly, but she keenly caught a glimmer of opportunity, and responded immediately as if she was pointing out.

Since ancient times, there have been convenient places with interests and convenient places, and the harem has never been a pure land. Concubine Chen and the eldest princess have become closer and closer.

Today is a beautiful and beautiful weather. Not only is the Chengxi Palace full of festive atmosphere, but the entire capital is filled with a faint sense of joy.

Since today is the ceremony of enthroning the Eastern Palace, the morning court has been cancelled. However, according to the procedure, all civil and military officials must arrive at the Huangji Palace before the auspicious time to witness the etiquette of enthroning the Eastern Palace, and also pay homage to the crown prince of the Longqing Dynasty.

Huaishu Hutong, Xu Mansion.

Xu Jie rarely got up later than usual, got up and washed up under the maid's service, and lived a normal life with most of the imperial officials in the capital.

"Master, give it!" A beautiful maid handed the twisted hot towel to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie took the towel and applied it on his face first, and suddenly felt the last trace of sleepiness completely dissipated.

A deep conversation he had with Zhang Juzheng last night is still vivid in his mind. This is also the first time he officially revealed to others an excellent plan hidden in his heart.

After Lin Xuran's years of operation, members of the Lin Party have already spread throughout the court and the public. Now that he wants to reverse the situation in the court, Long Qing's support alone is far from enough, but he wants to carry out a major purge on the Lin Party.

Just to achieve this goal, you need to first dismiss Lin Yanran's lackey Zhu Heng, and replace him with his own person to serve as the Minister of Personnel, so that you can completely reverse the court.

That's why everything was planned long before he became the crown prince. Not only did Lin Qinran know conspiracy, but Xu Jie was even better than Lin Qinran, and he should even be the real "three steps to calculate".

Supporting the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Yijun was just the first step, and then he pushed Zhang Juzheng to replace Zhu Heng, and then carried out a bloody blow to the Lin Party and the Northern Party.

Once the party was destroyed by bloody battles, when the core members of the Lin Party, Zhu Heng, Ma Sen, Wang Bai and others were eliminated, the fence-bearer who had the advantage in the court would turn to him and then regard himself as a "virtuous prime minister".

After Xu Jie washed up, he seemed full of energy, but he strode towards the door and had a hundred times more confidence to regain power from Lin Qingran.

Ah Ji...

When Xu Jie walked out of the door, facing the morning breeze, he couldn't help but sneeze loudly, and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart for no reason.

"Master, the breakfast is ready!" The housekeeper came up and said respectfully.

Xu Jie rubbed his sore nose and was about to nod, but he found that his right eyelid suddenly jumped for nod, making his uneasy mood stronger.

It was obvious that today was the happy day for him to gain political achievements, but this bad premonition occurred, which made him feel very confused.

But after decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, Mount Tai had collapsed before it and his face remained unchanged after decades of ups and downs. Naturally, this uneasy feeling would not be revealed.

While having breakfast, although his right eyelid was still beating, he still pretended to be calm and cared about the situation in his hometown in Songjiang.

Since Hai Rui became the prefect of Songjiang, he knew that Hai Rui was a young man who was not afraid of power and was not greedy for money, so he was always concerned about the situation there.

"The eldest son has always sent letters to the capital. Yesterday I wrote to say that everything is fine at home. Please don't worry, sir!" When the butler of the Xu family heard this question, he immediately responded honestly.

Xu Jie was not at all relieved about his eldest son, so he seriously reminded him: "You have someone supervise the family and report any important matters immediately!"

"Yes!" Although the housekeeper didn't understand why the master was always worried about Songjiang, he still agreed seriously.

After Xu Jie had breakfast, he saw that the time was almost the same, so he immediately went to the Forbidden City. When he was in the sedan chair, his right eyelid was still twitching, and he felt something extremely bad was happening.

The sedan quickly arrived at West Chang'an Street, which was even more lively than usual when I was in the morning court.

Xu Jie closed his eyes in the sedan chair and listened to the noisy sounds outside, but he was extremely disliked such profit-oriented vendors, which made him feel unhappy.

"March 3rd, the Imperial Concubine!"

After passing the noisy commercial area, a childish voice suddenly came from the right side of the sedan chair, looking catchy.

Xu Jie couldn't help but become interested in this nursery rhyme that was born in response to the situation, but when he saw the children, he continued to sing: "March 4th, Hu Shoo!"

When Xu Jie heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and a hint of vigilance immediately echoed the anxiety he had been in the morning, but he shook his head gently.

"March 3rd, the emperor's concubine; March 4th, Hu Shooting Man!"

The so-called "March 3rd, the imperial concubine is born" undoubtedly refers to the fact that Concubine Li gave birth to the emperor's two sons yesterday, but the word "女" is a bit harsh.

As for "March 4th, Hu Shooting People", this refers to today, and "Hu" naturally refers to the Mongolians. "Shooting People" undoubtedly shoots and kills Han people, which means that Mongolia invades the Ming Dynasty today.

If such a military situation really happened today, then the relationship between Daming and Altan would definitely be in trouble again, and his lord and the sect will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

But he knew in his heart that Altan would not have this little concentration, nor would he be able to play the drama of "the relatives are hurt, and the enemy is happy" on this happy day.

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. It turned out that he really looked up to Lin Qingran, and he was so exhausted that he had to arrange such irrelevant nursery rhymes to create chaos.
