The eighteen-year-old Zhu Shou was still a child himself. From time to time, he needed Empress Dowager Zhang and Master Yang to take care of him. But on the third day of November in the third year of Zhengde, he became a father, and Concubine Wang Zhuang was very proud of it.
gave birth to his first child, a boy!
Although he was not the eldest son, Empress Dowager Zhang still named her eldest grandson Zaiji based on the four generations of Zhu Lao's family, stealing the name of the eldest son of Emperor Jiajing in the official history.
When Zhu Zaiji was born, he was very unfortunate because his parents' relationship had completely broken down. He was sent to Cining Palace and was raised by Empress Dowager Zhang herself.
Concubine Wang Zhuang had done such a great service for the old Zhu family, so she naturally deserved a reward. Zhu Shou had no choice but to close his eyes and promote her to a noble concubine. Originally, his mother wanted to depose Empress Xia, and planned to make her eldest grandson the legitimate eldest grandson. Zhang
From the time she entered the palace to the time her husband died, the Queen Mother was the only one in the world who doted on her, so she naturally had a soft spot for the word "dirty".
However, Zhu Shou, who had no relationship with Queen Xia, refused instead. He didn't like Concubine Wang. If she hadn't been pregnant, she might have stayed in the cold palace for the rest of her life, which would have been the end of her life.
After experiencing the hardships of the cold palace and the pain of childbirth, the royal concubine changed her past greedy habits and rewarded the eunuchs, maids and guards. She was polite and courteous to the concubines, quite like a master of sex.
This made Zhu Shou even more displeased. He felt that this woman was too scheming. In the words of later generations, she was a perfect template for the waste stream. Zhu Shou did not want to be the deadbeat who was slapped in the face.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhang refused to persuade her son, she gave up, leaving Zhu Shou and Concubine Li Ning to hang out together every day. Strangely enough, Zhu Shou's sowing frequency during this period was not low, but Concubine Li Ning and several of her attendants
The concubine's belly showed no sign of getting bigger at all.
The little wives' bellies were not big, and Zhu Shou's palace was not peaceful. When Zhu Zaiji's children were having a full-moon banquet, a shocking case actually happened in the palace.
After being taught a lesson by Concubine Wang, Zhu Shou treated all his concubines equally. Although Concubine Li Ning was more diligent, she never favored her exclusively. The concubines in each palace also got along very well with each other, and they envied countless otakus in later generations.
This month, the world is generally safe and sound. The biggest political news this month is that after Liu Jin woke up one morning, he suddenly believed in Taoism, founded Xuanzhen Temple outside Chaoyang Gate, and then asked Prime Minister Li to help him write
An inscription was written.
Naturally, Li Viper was extremely complimentary and praised Lao Liu to the point of ecstasy, including many exaggerated words of praise. In the official history, these inscriptions actually became one of the evidence against Liu Lao Lao.
Zhu Shou gave Chen Jing and Luo Xiang full responsibility for the restructuring of Donghai Co., Ltd., and only after drafting the detailed articles of association did he give final approval.
In mid-November, Zhai Peng also led the remaining defeated generals from the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts Academy and rolled back to Baoding in embarrassment from eastern Sichuan two months in advance. There were more than 1,700 elite soldiers and generals when they left, but only five when they returned.
In addition to the more than 600 soldiers who died in the battle, the remaining 500 students were no longer suitable to stay in the army, so they were naturally sent back to their places of origin.
The reality always makes people sigh. Zhu Shou took the time to visit the first batch of students in Baoding. Everyone looked sad, probably because they were severely beaten by the bandits in eastern Sichuan. Qian Zhu, Zhang Yunlin and Zhang Yunlin, who were known as the three heroes of the martial arts academy.
Song Jixian lost his former spirituality and seemed to be lost to everyone else.
However, the second batch of trainees had already begun training. In the infantry, there was a young man from Henan named Huang Yuan who was presented to Zhu Shou by Xu Jin as a treasure.
"This boy is both civil and military. Thirty years from now, he will definitely be an unparalleled general in the Ming Dynasty!" Old Man Xu commented very highly.
Zhu Shou teased: "Is this boy Xu Zuocheng's grandson-in-law?"
Before Xu Jin could reply, Cao Xiong said from the side: "Based on what General Mo has seen, he can be allowed to take the imperial examination first. After ten years, he can lead the army to fight in the fortress. If he has not died in the battle within five years, he will certainly be able to do so."
Become a great weapon.”….
"Take the Jinshi examination?" Zhu Shou smiled, "Then you have to be admitted as a scholar first, and then you have to be promoted. Are you still asking for convenience from me?"
Xu Jin touched his beard and said with satisfaction: "This boy is the Juren. Henan Juren in Ding Maoke in the second year of Zhengde. Counting, he is still the same year as Zhai Peng and others. It is a pity that he failed in the Wuchen examination this year, so he was angry.
Join the army."
Wuchen Branch is famous for its young masters and silver masters. Huang Yuan is neither a young master nor does he have much money. In addition, the ancestral graves are not well buried, so it is reasonable that he will not pass the exam.
But a sixteen-year-old boy named Juren came to the mixed martial arts academy. No wonder Xu Jin and Cao Xiong would treat him as a treasure.
Zhu Changshou and Huang Yuan came forward to pay homage, and saw that this young man was a tall man, about six feet tall, with a face like a red date, eyes like copper bells, broad shoulders and a thin waist. He stood there, holding a jade tree in the wind.
However, Huang Yuan dared not stand in front of the emperor. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and shouted, "Long live the mountain."
Zhu Shou saw that he was well aware of etiquette and admired him very much, so he asked: "Although you have failed in the ranking, you are a good man. You should take your fame right away. You have a good time to hone your martial arts. In the future, you will be made a marquis for your military achievements. I will not hesitate to reward you."
Huang Yuan kowtowed three times and did not dare to raise his face. He looked at the ground and replied in a deep voice: "I should remember the teachings of the Holy Emperor, "The Sayings of the Holy Emperor". I have to recite it dozens of times every day. After reading it,
, I feel that my whole body is full of strength, and I am energetic in practicing martial arts; these four words of loyalty to the emperor and love of family, the common people also imitated Yue Wumu and carved them on their backs."
Zhu Shou couldn't help but feel happy after hearing what this young man said. He was indeed a talent!
"Quotations of the Holy Emperor" is a collection of Zhu Shou's classic sayings. Every time he comes to Daming Martial Arts Academy, he will say a few sentences, but so far, there are only about twenty sentences in total. The otaku has no money in his stomach and will not be able to learn from it for future generations.
It is no wonder that others are great men. Loyalty to the emperor and love of family is the motto of the martial arts academy. Huang Yuan brought them up specifically because he naturally wanted to please Zhu Shou.
Since this boy wanted to imitate Grandpa Yue, Zhu Shou was so childlike that he asked him to take off his shirt. He saw that this boy was covered in muscles and embroidered with animals. Sure enough, in the middle of his back, there were four large characters in block letters: Zhongjun.
love home.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhu Shou said three good words. He has not been gay for many years and has no desire for the male body. It's just that the tattoos in front of him are very beautiful. The embroideries are vivid and vivid, like an exquisite work of art.
.
Juren covered in tattoos?! The Ming Dynasty was really full of freaks.
Zhu Shou suddenly remembered that this boy was still a high-level intellectual, and asked happily: "Are you familiar with archery?"
Xu Jin praised him and said: "With a hundred steps, he can cross the Yangtze River and his martial arts skills are outstanding. He won the first place among five hundred infantry troops and became the leader of a thousand households."
Old man Xu was a civil servant, so he naturally admired military generals who were good at promoting people. Cao Xiong was a rough man, and he also admired intellectuals. Huang Yuan was both an intellectual and proficient in the tactics of soldiers and gangsters, so he sought a job at the martial arts academy.
It is natural that the house will be filled with joy.
There is a fundamental difference between the praise of others and the praise of oneself. Zhu Shou immediately issued an order: "Xuan, make Huang Yuan the avant-garde officer of the government army."
Huang Yuan was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly to thank him. Xu Jin and Cao Xiong also nodded. This boy's own conditions were excellent, and the martial arts academy could not teach him anything. To win the favor of the emperor, he was considered the first official sent out by the Ming Dynasty martial arts academy.
The avant-garde sword officer of the government army was one of Zhu Shou's emperor's honor guards. It had the two functions of clearing the way and guarding. There were forty officers in total. There were also 1,507 Han generals in Jinyiwei and 2,500 gods.
The red-helmeted generals of the pivot camp, 520 Mingjia generals, 3,000 fork-knife fencers of the fifth military camp, 180 flag-bearers and other guards with swordsmen were the defense force that followed Zhu Shou every day.
Several dignitaries took turns leading the procession.
Huang Yuan can be included in the core list of these eight thousand people, so naturally he is in the heart of the emperor. Zhu Shou is planning to train him as a confidant...
Therefore, the unhappiness caused by the first batch of students was wiped out by Huang Yuan alone. Zhu Shou happily returned to the Forbidden City with his newly recruited younger brother, preparing to hold a full-moon banquet for his son Zhu Zaiji.
What greeted him was not good news, but bad news about Queen Xia.
Ever since Zhu Shou traveled through time, he has not slept a single night at Queen Xia's place. Of course, everyone knows about Queen Xia's loneliness.
In order to relieve her loneliness, Queen Xia studied Zen and Taoism, hoping to find solace in philosophy. Unfortunately, thinking became more and more complicated the more she thought about it.
There is a saying that goes well, either you become perverted in silence, or you become bad in silence.
The empress Xia, who was knowledgeable and courteous, was betrayed by her palace maid: the empress was cheating on her!
The so-called Dui Shi actually means that in the depressing palace life, palace maids marry other palace maids or eunuchs, which is called Dui Shi. There is only one man in the Forbidden City, that is Zhu Shou, and his son who is not yet one month old does not count.
Therefore, tens of thousands of palace ladies can only find true love among the same sex or eunuchs. This custom will naturally be transmitted to the concubines who are deeply ignored by the emperor.
Queen Xia is no exception. Her counterpart is a very pretty little palace maid!
A famous novelist once said that the palace is the most evil and bloody place in the world. This is no exaggeration. Looking through the twenty-four histories, is there any place more cruel and inhumane than palace struggle?
The father kills the son, and the son kills the father; the brother kills the younger brother, and the younger brother kills the older brother; the mother kills the son, and the wife kills the husband. As long as there are tragedies that have happened in the human world, corresponding examples can be found in the imperial family.
Etiquette, integrity, loyalty, benevolence and filial piety have no market at all in the palace.
Zhu Shou was very lucky to have parents like Ming Xiaozong and Empress Dowager Zhang. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this boy could be said to be the luckiest emperor. Of course, except for his cousin Jiajing, who was a son of planes and auspicious.
Chen Jing was busy with the restructuring of Donghai Company, and Zhu Shou could not get any useful information from him. Instead, Su Jin, one of the Three Little Tigers and the eunuch in charge of the Banking Bureau, provided the detailed history of the case.
Su Jin was a bit gloomy, and was known as "Little Liu Jin" in the palace. Except for his loyalty to Zhu Shou, he did not pay attention to anyone. Therefore, the other eunuchs pretended to be deaf and dumb about the queen's scandal.
The boss and Admiral Zhang were determined not to get involved in this mess, but Su Jin was the first to jump out and explain the matter clearly.
This matter has to start from the day before yesterday.
