When Zhu Zhanzhen heard that Chen Xuan wanted to see him, his heart sank. He didn't know what Chen Xuan's purpose was. What if he was the same as Xu Youzhen and others.
But my father-in-law couldn't help but say, "Please arrange the time and place. The private meeting should be more confidential."
"I understand."
Chen Xinyue is also worried. He is worried about Chen Xuan and even more worried about Zhu Zhanzhen. Although the Ming Dynasty is unprecedentedly prosperous, it is at its most unstable in the Central Plains.
Zhu Zhanzhen's identity destined everything around him to be extraordinary.
Chen Xuan arrived at Haiwang Mansion. Although he came secretly at night, he still did not escape the eyes of Jin Yiwei.
And Chen Xuan had known that this would happen, so he chose the meeting place at Neptune's Mansion so that he would not be afraid of being discovered, because there is no doubt that Neptune's Mansion is now being monitored by everyone. In fact, Neptune's personal safety is also very nervous now.
He is in the capital, and if someone really wants his life, there is actually a great chance.
Only those who want chaos in the Ming Dynasty will want his life. The Jinyi Guards are on the one hand to monitor and on the other hand to protect. The court now does not want anything to happen to Zhu Zhanzhen.
As soon as something happens to Zhu Zhanzhen, it is conceivable that Zhu Gaoxu will take action immediately.
Chen Xuan, who was tired of work, entered the hall, and Zhu Zhanzhen was quite surprised that he would choose to meet at his house.
"Wei Chen, Chen Xuan has met His Highness the King of the Sea." Chen Xuan maintained his courtesy and saw that his hair was half gray. He had worked hard for the Ming Dynasty these years.
"Father-in-law, that's very polite." Zhu Zhanchen approached with a smile.
He took Chen Xuan and the two of them sat down.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. My father-in-law is still walking like a dragon and a tiger, and he is becoming more powerful every step of the way."
"Your Majesty, let's not say any more pleasantries. I am here just to ask you some questions."
"My father-in-law, please tell me."
Chen Xuan swallowed, it was difficult to say these words.
"I have returned to the capital before, but I did not go to the court this morning because of illness. I also know what happened in the court. I just want to ask His Highness frankly what he wants to do? Is the UN's statement an excuse?
True meaning."
Chen Xuan thought that Zhu Zhanzhen was one of his own, so he spoke very straightforwardly. Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly. Sure enough, he was here for this matter, but he didn't know what Chen Xuan's purpose was.
"Father-in-law, do you think it's okay for me to serve as the assistant minister?"
What was unexpected was that Chen Xuan shook his head firmly: "Wei Chen advises Your Highness not to do it."
"Why?"
"Of the powerful ministers in ancient times, there were only two or three who could escape unscathed. Even after someone like Huo Guang died, his entire family perished. The humble ministers had little knowledge and felt that His Highness had to be both a powerful minister and the younger brother of the late emperor. His status and status
It was decided that once His Highness takes up this position, the whole world will panic, and the following ten years will be in turmoil, but I feel that His Highness's idea of a United Nations is indeed feasible."
"Oh? But many people advised me to go higher up." Zhu Zhanchen pointed to the top. His words were simple, but his expression was very clear.
Chen Xuan looked at Zhu Zhanzhen seriously: "This matter is His Highness's business. I only have my own knowledge and can only speak my own words."
"After my father-in-law's hard work, I understand. My father-in-law will stay at the house today."
"No, it's not far away. Just go back early and see the new moon. Also, His Highness has no heir so far. I hope that His Highness will have a legitimate son soon."
Zhu Zhanchen's face turned red, and his father-in-law came to the door. How embarrassing was this?
"Sister-in-law, please work harder." Zhu Zhanzhen said awkwardly, and then sent Chen Xuan out.
Zhu Zhanzhen watched Chen Xuan get on the sedan chair, and knew in his heart that Chen Xinyue must be under a lot of pressure because he still had his legitimate son, especially after Zhu Zhanji was deposed.
As the Princess of Neptune, Chen Xinyue had always been in the palace frequently. The Empress Dowager would ask her to go into the palace to accompany her when something happened, so she was very familiar with Hu Shanxiang.
Such a gentle and mellow woman, who was neither fighting nor grabbing, was deposed as a queen because she had no legitimate son, and was renovated in a temple. This was still the case after a country, and she, the King of the Sea,
Isn't it the same for the principal concubine? It's definitely not possible to have no heirs.
It would be a lie to say that there is no rush, but the two of them spend less time together and more time apart, so Chen Xinyue can only worry about it.
Fortunately, none of the other sisters had blossomed, which helped her share the pressure of public opinion. Everyone agreed that it was Neptune's own problem, otherwise why would there be so many wives without any children, not even illegitimate children from outside.
This makes Zhu Zhanyong feel very embarrassed. It seems that all three of his brothers. Zhu Zhanyong has not given birth to a child yet. Zhu Zhanji only gave birth to two sons after taking a lot of tonics. This is completely different from their father.
In comparison, the three brothers combined are not half as powerful as Zhu Gao Chisheng.
That night, Chen Xinyue did the glute bridge for half an hour, making sure not to leave a drop.
The two couples were lying on the bed, with Chen Xinyue maintaining a hip bridge position. Zhu Zhanzhen sat beside him and said funnyly: "Is this necessary?"
Chen Xinyue, who was doing the glute bridge, had some difficulty speaking.
"Your Highness, this is a method taught by the old nuns in the palace. The queen mother said that she relied on this method to give birth to three of your brothers in succession."
"Ah? Does it still have this effect?"
After finishing the glute bridge, Chen Xinyue pulled Zhu Zhan and said, "Your Highness, do it again to enhance the effect."
It was half an hour of hip bridge again. Zhu Zhanyi was lying on the side a little tired. Chen Xinyue asked: "Father, why did you come to see you today?"
"The things we talked about are normal. It's just that my father-in-law came here today to express his position."
"State your stance?" Chen Xinyue didn't quite understand what Zhu Zhanzhen meant.
Zhu Zhanchen stretched out his hand to make her hip bridge more standard and then said: "My father-in-law did not go to court today because of illness, but came to our house alone. In fact, he understood that he was telling the people in the court that he was standing on the side of his son-in-law.
On this side, no matter what happens after this incident, my father-in-law’s position may not be preserved.”
"Ah?" Chen Xinyue sat upright in shock: "What should we do?"
Zhu Zhanzhen touched Chen Xinyue's head lovingly: "The water will flow downwards. If you sit like this, all your previous efforts will be wasted."
Chen Xinyue immediately returned to her original posture, and Zhu Zhanzhen said gently and peacefully: "My father-in-law will do his best to help me. As a son-in-law, I will naturally protect him with all my strength. Don't worry, even if my father-in-law loses his position, his title will still be withheld."
He is still there, and I will arrange everything for him. If my father-in-law is old and willing to rest at home, he can rest. If he still wants to do something, I will also arrange a place for him."
Chen Xinyue said seriously: "Your Highness, although I only remembered my father's name, my grandmother and father are very good to me. I hope Your Highness will remember them more."
"Don't worry, can I still not see who is good to me? The results will probably be revealed in the court in a few days."
Zhu Zhanxi pondered deeply. Although Chen Xuan did not say it clearly, it was clear that Chen Xuan also hoped that Zhu Zhanxian would take the last step and be crowned the Ninth Five-Year Plan. In this case, Chen Xinyue would be the queen, and their family would naturally reach a higher level. But from Zhu Zhanxuan
He had a very good relationship with Zhu Zhanzhen when he was a child. He knew His Highness's temper well. He only did what he should do and let Zhu Zhanzhen know that he was supporting him. The specific decision was made by Zhu Zhanzhen.
It's up to you to choose.
…
On the second day, Zhu Zhanchen went out to listen to his instructions.
On the third day, I checked the bar and listened to music.
It rained on the fourth day and I made a baby at home.
On the fifth day, stewed chicken with wolfberry and lamb kidneys.
In the next half month, Zhu Zhanzhen just ate, drank and had fun, and didn't care about anything in the court. The emperor, the empress dowager and the empress sent someone to invite him to the morning court, saying that his old illness had recurred and he would continue to have children.
There is nothing to do here, but there is a lot of noise over there. The Queen Mother is stabilizing the situation. She is annoyed by ministers with different opinions every day. She is worried to death. She retired early that day. There is still noisy, but the cabinet
The ministers have basically confirmed the UN proposal.
Because they have no choice.
The Empress Dowager became more and more angry as she thought about it, and said to the eunuch: "Use an imperial edict to send the King of the Sea to the palace, and ask the Princess of the Sea to come too. This unfilial son, please go quickly."
"The Empress Dowager, how to write the imperial edict."
"Orally, hurry up
If he goes, if he doesn't come, go see him every half an hour. The same goes at night. Don't let him sleep." The Empress Dowager was really angry this time.
Even the oral edict was conveyed to Hai Wang Mansion, and Zhu Zhanzhen was made uncomfortable by the noise. In the end, he and Chen Xinyue had to go into the palace. Moreover, after such a long time, Zhu Zhanzhen estimated that the palace should have negotiated a similar result.
Already.
The two came to the Imperial Garden. At this time, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei were here. The young emperor Zhu Qi Zhenzheng and the eunuchs and maids were catching fish in the pond.
Exquisite pastries are placed on the table, with bright colors and cute shapes. The Empress Dowager likes to eat these things. The cabinets are making these exquisite pastries in various ways. The Empress Dowager rewards her favorite pastries a lot.
When she saw the two people arriving, the Empress Dowager motioned for them to sit down.
"My son, please visit your mother."
"Xinyue, come and try this cake. This is the latest osmanthus cake. Look at the skill of the pastry chef, it has been made into the shape of a bunny. It is exquisite, small and lifelike."
The Empress Dowager didn't even look at Zhu Zhanzhen, she pulled Chen Xinyue and started talking and laughing.
Obviously I am very angry.
Chen Xinyue noticed it and handed the cake to Zhu Zhanzhen: "Your Majesty, please eat some too."
The Empress Dowager held her hand and said, "What should I feed this heartless little brat? He has been raised so big that he just throws his hands around and doesn't care about anything. Seeing that my mother works so hard every day, she doesn't know how to help."
"Mother, the prince has not come back for a long time. My concubine has not let him go out these days." Chen Xinyue came to Zhu Zhan's rescue.
Sun Ruowei glanced at Chen Xinyue imperceptibly, with envy in her eyes. Even if a widow is a queen, she is still a widow. Her mother-in-law is here, and her son is young. It is conceivable that a widow in her prime must remain a widow for many years.
Where can I be as happy as my sister-in-law? Looking at the rosy and delicate skin, it seems like she can burst into tears.
"Mother, my son is here, isn't he?" Zhu Zhanchen smiled flatteringly.
The Empress Dowager said reproachfully: "Your father and eldest brother are gone. Even if there are things to discuss, you can't just be a hands-off shopkeeper hiding in the house and not care about anything."
"I understand, I understand, I will never do it again. I will arrive early next time when I go to court."
"You kid, it's said outside that you are so fierce. You have fought for most of the world. Why do you look like a little naughty kid to me?"
"A son will always be like this in front of his mother." Zhu Zhanzhen handed the cake to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager took a bite and looked at Zhu Qizhen, who was playing in the water in the distance, and said, "Look, Qizhen looked at the statue of Quito very much back then. He was also so naughty when he was a child."
Zhu Zhanzhen secretly cursed, "This is incomparable. This kid is far worse than his elder brother."
"The court has basically concluded your matter." The Empress Dowager said easily.
"Mother has the final say."
Although she said this, the Empress Dowager understood that her own words did not count, and Zhu Zhanchen's nod would count.
"When the United Nations is established and Ming Dynasty joins the United Nations, the privileges of permanent members must be granted. For the sake of the future of Ming Dynasty, I hope you can understand."
"My son, you understand, has it been confirmed in court?"
"Well, everything is almost confirmed. There are some opponents, but the number is very small. In the past few days, the court has dealt with Xu Youzhen's matter, and the ministers have also understood your determination. Stabilizing the situation is the most important thing now.
The ministers in the cabinet are already drafting the documents. When the confirmation is completed, it will be great for the Ming Dynasty and the Western Federation to take the lead in establishing the United Nations."
Zhu Zhanzhen was overjoyed. Although he could not become the Ming Emperor, he had the same or even higher rights as the Ming Emperor and had no worries.
"But we also have conditions." The Queen Mother made a sharp turn, and Zhu Zhanzhen also knew that there could be no conditions.
"Mom, I'm all about the future of Ming Dynasty. Why does it seem like I have to do something bad and negotiate terms? It's a big deal that I won't do it."
"Don't get cheap and behave well. Now I need you to maintain Gao Xu and Gao Sui.
In the case of He Zhanjun, only you can do this."
"This is hard work."
"You can do it."
At this time, Zhu Qizhen ran over and said, "Uncle Wu, uncle Wu, please take me to catch fish."
"What's the point in catching all the fish in the pond because they were raised by your grandma? When you get older, I'll take you out to catch fish in the sea. That'll be fun."
"Really? Uncle Wu, I haven't seen the sea yet."
"Of course it's true."
"By the way, mother, my eldest brother told me before that he hopes Qi Zhen will receive a new type of education. I think Qi Zhen is still studying the same things as before. Mother, do you need me to arrange for someone to come over."
"Fifth brother, there's no need. Qi Zhen is studying very well now." Sun Ruowei was extremely worried. He didn't speak much today and spoke immediately. She was afraid that Zhu Zhanzhen's people would not teach Zhu Qi Zhen well.
You can't teach me well if you teach me this way. You're overly pampering.
The Empress Dowager knew Sun Ruowei's worries, but waved her hand and said: "Qi Zhen must receive a new type of education. This is also what Zhan Ji means. Zhan Yu, let Nanhai University in Guangzhou choose the best teachers to teach the emperor.
For the most important thing, the teacher’s academic ability and behavioral parallelism must all be considered.”
"Don't worry, mother, I take everything my elder brother told me to heart. In addition to ordinary teachers, I also prepared a moral teacher and a mechanical teacher for Qi Zhen. Although Qi Zhen will definitely not have to touch things like steam engines with his own hands in the future, he must understand
, I plan to ask Zhang San to come here, and you should also know this person."
The Empress Dowager nodded. Zhang San, who first built the steam engine with Zhu Zhanzhen, had a relatively big head and was now also an authority in Guangzhou.
After the matter was settled, the few people chatted happily. Sun Ruowei felt a little aggrieved. As the Queen Mother and sister-in-law, she had to keep smiling faces for her younger siblings.
