Although there was a fire in the backyard, life had to go on.
After Zhu Shou became emperor, he often had to adapt to such emergencies.
For example, a certain palace maid fell to the ground and died while walking; a certain eunuch in charge was fine last night, but found his body cold when he woke up in the morning; a certain minister had the hall full of guests in the morning, but was pushed to the market entrance in the afternoon, and his head fell to the ground.
.
Although Wang Zhuangfei's pregnancy is a bit unexpected, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
After more than half a year of pampering, Zhu Shou gave up his bad habit of having sex with Qian Ning again. If he didn't get pregnant again, he would have to doubt the body left by Zhu Houzhao.
Historically, Zhu Houzhao had no heirs, not because there was anything wrong with his health. On the contrary, his health was very good. According to historical records, he could have sex with several or even dozens of men and women in one day, which can be said to be the envy of countless future generations.
otaku.
But he was ruined by the words "sexual intercourse between men and women."
In the new leopard house he built, there were like clouds of female prostitutes and like rain of adopted sons. According to historical records, in the more than ten years of his reign, he had collected more than 100 favored sons.
The rest were given the surname Zhu.
Among his adopted sons, the most famous are Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, who are close friends throughout life and death.
Qian Ning is a well-known minor shou. It is recorded in the 195th biography of "History of the Ming Dynasty" "The Biography of Ning Xing" that Zhu Houzhao often sleeps on his lap. This is the only example of the introduction of emperor comrades in the history of the Ming Dynasty. It is possible to imagine that a man
Sleeping on another man's lap, the relationship between them can definitely be called a time of burning passion.
Moreover, Zhu Houzhao always lived in the Leopard Room and never interacted with Queen Xia and other concubines. In the later period, he even built the Zhenguo Palace in Xuanfu, brought all the beauties and male favorites there, and held an unobstructed celestial body conference.
.
In order to be able to have better intercourse with handsome men and beauties, Zhu Houzhao also abolished the internal officials who served the emperor in the bedroom and the clerk's office to reduce restrictions on his actions. During the Sutra banquet for the emperor, he even used various
He used this excuse to escape, but he didn't even listen to it a few times, and he didn't even want to go to the morning court.
But after Zhu Shou traveled through time, none of these things happened. All kinds of beauties, wives, lolita, foreign girls, etc. in the New Leopard Room were all removed by him one by one. Zhu Houzhao's ridiculous behavior was also corrected by him.
Quite a few.
As for Jingyanri and the early dynasty, he was even more diligent than his father, Ming Xiaozong, which made the civil servants complain endlessly.
The young body left by Zhu Houzhao is of very good quality. Zhu Shou himself also pays attention to physical exercise. Coupled with the new activities that Boss Liu often organizes, his body is getting better and better, and he can often fight with Sister Li Feng.
Three or five round trips.
Therefore, although the timing of Concubine Wang Zhuang's pregnancy was not right, with so many surveillance maids and eunuchs testifying, Zhu Shou had no choice but to let Empress Dowager Zhang handle it.
The biggest problem for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty was not their country but their heirs.
Perhaps because the father and son Chong Bage and Zhu Laosi were too murderous, the following emperors did not have many direct descendants. Instead, they gave birth to hundreds of thousands of royal descendants.
Among the sixteen emperors, only Zhu Houzhao truly ascended the throne as the eldest son. In other words, he was both the eldest son of the empress and the eldest son of the previous emperor.
Judging from the eldest son system established by Chong Bago, Zhu Houzhao was destined to be the only candidate for emperor from the moment he was born. This was a grand event in the feudal patriarchal society.
Empress Dowager Zhang's second son died in infancy, leaving her with only one son, Zhu Houzhao, so her desire for her grandson reached a morbid level. She didn't care about Concubine Wang Zhuang's past, or even about Concubine Wang Zhuang's ambitions and palace. On the contrary, as long as she could get
For a grandson, she could even put Princess Wang Zhuang on the throne of the queen to ensure the legitimacy of this grandson...
For Zhu Houzhao in the previous life, Queen Mother Zhang may not have much influence. But for Zhu Shou in this life, Queen Mother Zhang is not only his political enlightenment mentor, but also, Queen Mother Zhang, who is as ordinary as a peasant woman, in Zhu Shou's heart
, has vaguely regarded her as his real mother, completely assuming the role of Zhu Houzhao.
No matter from a political perspective or from a family perspective, Zhu Shou would not oppose Empress Dowager Zhang's decision.
All the memory and intellectual level left by Zhu Houzhao enabled Zhu Shou, an otaku, not only to understand the guidance of Queen Mother Zhang, but also to quickly adapt to the political situation of the Ming Dynasty.
The previous article has been saying that Zhu Houzhao is smart. Some people may ask, how smart is this kid?
According to historical records, he has been known for his intelligence since he was a child. He could recite the books taught by officials one day and the next day. The court etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was very complicated, especially the prince's etiquette, but he was able to recite it in a few months.
In a short time, you can remember these complicated etiquettes one by one.
When he was eight years old, his father Ming Xiaozong came to the East Palace for a visit. He led the officials of the East Palace to follow the etiquette, strictly and without breaking the rules. Ming Xiaozong, who was also a prince, marveled: This boy is born to be a wise king.
Material.
He was not only good at literature, but also martial arts. He was proficient in riding and archery games since he was a child, and his archery skills were outstanding. In order to train him to become a peerless saint like Taizu, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty also indulged in his riding and archery and invited many
A master of archery came to teach him.
Therefore, Zhu Shou, who inherited Zhu Houzhao's characteristics of being an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, adopted a tacit attitude towards Concubine Wang Zhuang. Out of etiquette, he would occasionally visit Concubine Zhuang in her palace, but on weekdays he still stayed with Sister Li Feng and Concubine Li Ning.
mixed together.
Concubine Li Ning and Concubine Wang Zhuang were originally at odds with each other, but Wei Bin and Eunuch Wei were their common ally. When he saw this, he said two words: "Queen Xia."
Yes, Queen Xia is still here. Why are you two making such a fuss?
Wei Bin's meaning is very clear: we all hang out in the palace, and we all have common interests. Two plus one make five. With the help of me as a common ally, the two of you can turn your hostility into friendship and deal with Queen Xia together. That's the real thing.
.
Although Concubine Li Ning is young, she is by no means confused. The so-called concubine who does not want to be a queen is definitely not a good girl. Since everyone has a common enemy, as long as Concubine Wang Zhuang does not come to compete for favor, she will no longer be interested in Wang Zhuang.
The concubine's evil hand.
Concubine Wang Zhuang was focused on preserving her pregnancy at this time and was very wary of other concubines. However, with Empress Dowager Zhang taking care of her, she often had near misses and ended up killing dozens of palace maids. Seeing Concubine Li Ning coming
He happily accepted the alliance's good intentions, but it was unclear whether he would play any kind of palace-infernal affairs in private.
In short, on the day of the Wuchen Ke Palace Examination, the fire in Zhu Shou's backyard was not big enough to make him miserable.
The Imperial Examination, also known as the Imperial Examination, is the highlight of Wuchenke and a grand event that literati all over the world are eagerly awaiting.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty Games, which were like child's play, have ended. Yang Yiqing's organizational skills are amazing. In the face of lack of funds and opposition from the court, he only relied on Zhu Shou's limited support to make the Games a great success, and he was the leader of each project.
, there are both Han people, Mongolians, Koreans, Japanese, Uszang people, Turpan people, etc.
Although Yang Yiqing worked hard and achieved great results, his reputation as a jester was scolded by civil servants.
It's not because he went to flatter Zhu Shou or the emperor. That is the most golden profession in the world, and the representative of it is Liu Jin, Boss Liu.
The main reason why Yang Yiqing was scolded was that he organized lottery guessing at the Ming Dynasty Games. In just a few days, the lottery guessing made the people in the capital crazy. Under the layout of Zhu Shou, Zhang Heling and others, the lottery guessing became even more popular.
It spread to the imperial examination system which was the magic needle of the Ming Dynasty...
Zhu Shou heard that Yang Yiqing's house was often doused with feces and dog blood was poured on him, and that his family was often thrown rotten eggs by literati when they went to the streets. He felt very sorry.
As soon as the Ming Dynasty Games ended, Zhu Shou reassigned Yang Yiqing to the three sides. He became the censor of Zuodu and took charge of the military affairs of the three towns of Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu. This was Yang Yiqing's new position.
Zhu Shou looked at the fair-faced and beardless minister: Lao Yang, thank you for your hard work. Go to the border to play with the Great Wall for a while. I will transfer you back when there is a chance.
Yang Yiqing is not hard-working. This is his old profession anyway. Isn’t it just for this day that he works hard to be a jester? However, after he arrived at Sanbian, there was one person who was very hard-working, and that was his arrogant temperament. He thought he was
The most handsome man in the world, Anhua King Zhu Chixiu, is a later story and will not be mentioned for now.
Turning our attention back to the imperial examination, Huiyuan Yang Shen and Li Dongyang had the status of teachers and students. Therefore, in addition to the "Yinzi Branch", "Shaoye Branch", "Guessing Branch" and other good names, Wuchen Branch also
It also has a reputation as a "teacher-student department".
A careful study of the list of Jinshi in this subject shows that three pavilion elders, six ministers and dozens of children and disciples of high-ranking officials account for more than 30%.
However, Prime Minister Li, like Boss Liu, does not avoid relatives in internal affairs and does not avoid enemies in external affairs. During the palace examination, he still stood on the Fengtian Palace.
With Yang Shen's talent and family background, there is no rival in this subject. Therefore, Zhu Shou looked at his little book boy with great interest and asked Mr. Liu who was waiting on the side: "Is Yang Yongxiu Jie Yuan?"
Jieyuan was the first in the provincial examination. The Huiyuan and the number one scholar were collectively called the Sanyuan. During the more than a thousand years when the imperial examination system prevailed, those who could win the Sanyuan in succession became mythical and legendary figures.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one person who was officially recognized as the winner of the Three Elements in a row, and that was Shang Ren.
In fact, there is also a perverted genius Huang Guan who scored six yuan in a row. He was the first person in the history of China's imperial examinations. He won first place in county examinations, prefecture examinations, college examinations, township examinations, joint examinations, and palace examinations. He was known as the "Three Yuan Scholars" at the time.
It exists in the world, but there are no six poems in the world."
The person who promoted him to the top of the list was Chong Bage, a more perverted genius. However, Huang Zhuangyuan's examination ability was superhuman, and his political and military abilities were inferior. After Zhu Laosi came to the throne, he hated this guy for being loyal to his nephew and removed him from the job.
His name was removed from the imperial examination, so Zhu Laosi's descendants do not recognize Huang Tiancai's six-yuan winning streak.
As soon as Zhu Shou opened his mouth, Boss Liu understood the emperor's thoughts and felt a little depressed. The provincial examination ended last year and there was no way to change the results now, so he had to answer honestly: "No."
Seeing Boss Liu, Zhu Shou had no choice but to give up and not seek this auspicious opportunity.
