Domineering Daming

According to the law and etiquette, this first-born prince is an undeniable crown prince, which is irrefutable.

Of course, a canonization ceremony is needed for confirmation.

However, this incident is somewhat unusual, that is, Zhu Xu has a special preference for Zhu Ciye, the eldest son of the emperor, who is already four years old.

Not only the adults in the outer court were worried about this matter, but also the people in the harem.

The Eastern Palace has been the scariest place in political struggles since ancient times, not one of them. Especially during the Wanli period, the "war between the country and the country" that lasted for more than ten years was not far away, and no one wanted to do it again.

Empress Dowager Zhang's seemingly inadvertent words were actually asking Zhu Xu to nod and establish the baby's identity and status according to the hearts of the people in the world.

Although Empress Dowager Zhang ignored political affairs, as the widow of the first emperor, she would never want to see a battle for the heir apparent, and she did not want Zhu Xu to be confused and plant the root of serious trouble.

Standing beside Zhu Xu, she looked at Zhu Xu with a solemn face and a rare aggressive gaze.

Zhang Shu was not stupid either. When it came to the prince, she put away her mischievous look, lowered her head, and looked at Zhu Xu quietly.

Zhu Xu hugged the child and shook it gently. He seemed to have heard but didn't understand what Empress Dowager Zhang said, and said, "I'll send a letter to the Imperial Academy to ask them to choose a good name. Our son, The name must be beautiful..."

Empress Dowager Zhang's heart sank, seeing that Zhu Xu refused to give permission, she turned her head to look at Huan'er who was not far away, and said calmly, "Where is Concubine Li?"

Huan'er was stunned for a moment, then took a step forward and said, "Go back to Madam Li, Madam Li is with Madam Hai, and Madam Hai is about to give birth."

Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand and said, "Order Concubine Li to come see the Empress, Prince."

Huan'er glanced at Zhu Xu, and replied, "Yes."

Zhu Xu sighed inwardly, looked at the child, then at Zhang Yun lying on the bed anxiously, put down the child and said, "Okay, in a few years, when he grows up, I will book him."

Empress Dowager Zhang did not back down, and pressed her a step further: "How many years do you want?"

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "Three years."

Now that too many children die young, it is inevitable that there will be accidents. Empress Dowager Zhang was silent for a while, and said: "Okay, just three years, Huan'er, you pass the original words of the emperor and this palace to the cabinet, and ask them to remember, and remind the emperor when the time comes. Don't forget."

Huan'er took a careful look at Zhu Xu, then quickly turned around and left.

Zhu Xu put the child beside Zhang Yun, without saying a word.

After all, there must be an explanation for this matter, and that's fine.

Zhang Yun was rather worried. She knew Zhu Xu very well, and she didn't like being persecuted the most. That is, Queen Mother Zhang, who would have dealt with it severely long ago if it was someone else.

Zhu Xu stroked her hair, smiled and said, "I'm here."

A smile instantly appeared on Zhang Yun's pretty face, and she looked at Zhu Xu and gave a soft "hmm".

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Zhu Xu's behavior and felt relieved.As long as the East Palace is settled, the country will be safe, and she has also lost a lot of heart disease.

The queen gave birth a few days early, Zhu Xu didn't go back since she came, and Hai Lanzhu was about to give birth, so Zhu Xu decided to stay with her for a while.

The words of Zhu Xu and Queen Mother Zhang were quickly embellished and spread to the ears of Bi Ziyan and others who were still hunting in the royal garden.

"Good, good, good!"

Even Bi Ziyan, who has always been unsmiling, laughed heartily and no longer held the prestige of the chief assistant.

Sun Chengzong and others were equally happy, and they all responded with smiles on their faces.

The position of the crown prince has always been a big stone in their hearts, especially as the eldest son of the emperor is getting older, and the Qing Palace's domineering attitude makes them even more uneasy, as if the "war between the country and the country" is in front of them again.

Now, Empress Dowager Zhang is forcing the emperor to make a promise himself, no matter how difficult it is to change it, three years later when the emperor's son grows up, everything will be settled with a canonized edict!

"The empress dowager has the legacy of her eldest grandson, she is virtuous and virtuous, but I ignored it before..." After a while, Bi Ziyan held the teacup and said with a hearty smile.

He hadn't been this happy for a long time, and he just felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.

Chapter 1186 Imperial envoy to Yangzhou

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "In today's world, the only one who can persuade the emperor is the queen mother."

Everyone in Daming knew that Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhu Xu's sister-in-law and mother were fostered in Kunning Palace when they were young.

Prince Jing was also sure, looked around the crowd, and said, "The big hunt is over in one more day, and the queen's mother gave birth to a prince, and the whole world celebrates it. Shouldn't we go and congratulate him?"

Bi Ziyan and the others also wanted to confirm it again. They looked at Sun Chengzong, pondered, and said: "The prince is right. How about it, me, Mr. Sun Ge, King Jing, and Lord Fu, the four of us go , There are too many people going, it is inevitable that there will be too many people, and there must be someone to preside over the big hunting, and the government affairs of the capital cannot be delayed."

There was no objection from the crowd, and the matter was settled.

Bi Ziyan added another sentence, saying: "Bai Gu, after you go back, find Eunuch Cao and Eunuch Liu, and let them record it. Also, this matter must be spread quietly."

Everyone was stunned and nodded silently.Today's methods are unique, and it would not be surprising if there were any changes.All they have to do is to do great things, just in case.

When the imperial court breathed a sigh of relief, Gong Dingzi had already arrived at Yangzhou Mansion with his people, but he did not show up immediately, but was quietly conducting an investigation.

At this time, a group of officials in the Yangzhou government had long been detained, and Feng Jiangfeng, the right political representative of Jiangsu, was in charge of investigating everything.

Yangzhou government office, backyard, Feng Jiangfeng is trying the former magistrate of Yangzhou government office, Fu Cheng and others.

These people knelt in front of Feng Jiangfeng with expressions of incomparable grievance, without saying a word.

Feng Jiangfeng had a tough personality and acted sharply. He was sitting on a chair, and behind him were the arresting officers of the prison department.

He stared sternly at the leader, the magistrate of Yangzhou, who was dressed in hard work, and said coldly: "Be honest, explain everything to me word by word, you should be clear, even if this matter is normal A big matter that damages the face of the court and the dignity of the country, if you say a word wrong, and you conceal a word, I can assure you that none of the three generations of your family will escape!"

Yang Xuekun, the magistrate of Yangzhou, trembled all over, with a wry smile on his face, knocked his head on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Feng, I didn't do it by a subordinate official. On the painting boat that day, there were indeed prostitutes to accompany him, but he was chased away by the official after he landed. Then Qin Tong said he wanted to meet friends, and he left alone, and the officials didn't even know when he came back and how he died..."

Feng Jiangfeng looked at Si Ren who was kneeling on the ground, his face was quite embarrassed, and he said, "Are all the people in your Yangzhou Prefecture dead? A big living man came back with two prostitutes, took aphrodisiacs, and finally died of impotence. Didn't anyone see it?"

Yang Xuekun knocked his head to the ground, unable to see his expression, but his voice was full of bitterness, and said: "Master Feng, this subordinate was set up by someone, this matter must have been intentionally blamed on this subordinate, Mr Feng, you have to see clearly ah……"

Feng Jiangfeng snorted coldly, and said: "Governor Fang often praises you, saying that you are bold and cautious in your actions, you are a person who does great things, and he is going to recommend you as a councilor, but I didn't expect that you are so confused!"

Yang Xuekun couldn't speak clearly with ten thousand mouths now, so he could only kneel on the ground and shout for injustice, saying: "Master Feng, I'm an official... really wronged."

Yang Xuekun's words are poor and helpless, and he is helpless and desperate from the inside out.

At this time, a mansion came out and said: "Master Feng, as long as we find those prostitutes, the truth will be revealed."

Feng Jiangfeng snorted coldly and said, "If you know someone else set up the trap, can those whores still be alive? Could it be that I don't have any clues?"

Several people suddenly seemed to be choked, unable to say a word.

It happened so suddenly that they didn't react at all.They have been thinking carefully these days, and they found that the communication with Zhou Tongpan is too normal, and there is no flaw to follow!

They are not policemen, so they don't know any clues.

Feng Jiangfeng looked at a few people, his tone became more and more cold, and said: "No matter what the truth of this case is, you guys will die without redemption, wait for death!"
