Uncertain Chang'an

Since the Musk case last time, the matter of taking care of the concubines in the harem has fallen on the head of Imperial Physician Feng. After being favored by his masters for a while, Imperial Physician Feng has become much more imposing when walking in the palace every day.He really lived up to the favor of Emperor Taiping, and there were many new concubines who came to the palace to spread good news one after another, but there were also a lot of slippery tires, which often fell off within three months, which made Emperor Taiping worry every day. , happy and sad.Things are going on in the palace, but no one can really conceive for a long time. Zhou Jinhe sent people to watch the movement in the palace, while he was preparing for Lu Weizhen's big wedding.I heard from the informant that from the diagnosis to the miscarriage, it was all said by Imperial Physician Feng alone. Although there were other imperial physicians who made the diagnosis, Imperial Physician Feng is now gaining momentum, and it is inevitable that some people will be attached to him.After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess still does not believe that Emperor Taiping's childlessness for so many years is a trick of the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

The weather is gradually getting hotter. In June, summer cicadas are already neighing on the trees. It has been sunny for several days in a row. There are large white clouds floating in the blue sky, which makes people feel refreshed.The wedding between Wang Xile and Lu Weizhen was held as scheduled. Zhou Jinhe and Xiao Wuding attended, and the marriage was bestowed by Emperor Taiping. Even if the two wanted to keep a low profile, they couldn't do it. They had to follow the rules. When the wedding of the two is over, June will not know It's over.

Zhou Jinhe finally had some free time in the study to calm down and read a book, when he suddenly saw Fei'er coming in, he frowned slightly and said: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Yang Jieyu is pregnant, and it has been more than three months."

"Oh? More than three months?" Zhou Jinhe frowned, with a half-smile: "I can't see it, even Xia Jieyu, who is loved by the emperor like Xia Jieyu, can't have children. This Yang Jieyu's usual obedient appearance, can still keep the child?"

Fei'er handed the letter from the informant to Zhou Jinhe, and replied: "Xia Jieyu and Yang Jieyu are sisters, and they often advise your majesty to go to Yang Jieyu's place."

Zhou Jinhe finished reading the letter with a half-smile, and handed it to Fei'er with delicate hands, his eyes were full of excitement, and he was faintly excited: "Let's just wait and see, the good show is about to begin."

In February of the 13th year of Taiping, Yang Jieyu gave birth to a prince. Emperor Taiping was overjoyed and named him Zhou Jinyu.The sun is like daylight, and the moon is like night.From this we can see Emperor Taiping's love and expectation for him.

In the 14th year of Taiping, the court, which was originally a dark tide, finally brought the struggle to the bright side at this time.

The crown prince Zhou Jinqian is fifteen years old, so it is logical that he should enter the imperial court to listen to and participate in politics, but Emperor Taiping has not issued a verbal order for a long time, and a fool can guess his thoughts.The court is divided into two factions, headed by Yan Yi, who supports the prince, and headed by Lu Junde, who supports the emperor's own son. The two sides are evenly matched, making it difficult for Emperor Taiping to make a decision.

The Xuanshi Hall was brightly lit, and Emperor Taiping rubbed his brows tiredly after approving the memorial.Gu Xianghai promptly handed over a cup of hot tea, and asked, "Your Majesty, today is fifteen, are you going to the Empress's place?"

Emperor Taiping took a sip of hot tea and coughed twice. His physical strength has become weaker and weaker in the past two years. He was still full of energy when he first ascended the throne. Been sick several times.

"Go and see Yu'er first." Emperor Taiping got up and looked out, Gu Xianghai also knew the habit of the master this year, he would go to see his son after he was busy every day, and he couldn't be shaken.

"Show Yongle Palace!"

Following the eunuch's high-pitched voice, the group headed for the most luxurious Yongle Palace in the palace except for the palace where the emperor and empress lived.After Zhou Jinyu was born, Emperor Taiping was overjoyed and bestowed on Yang Jieyu the title of Concubine Shu, and brought Zhou Jinyu to Yongle Palace.

In Yongle Palace, Concubine Yang Shu, who had been notified, ordered the nanny to hug Zhou Jinyu, who was just one year old, and waited at the door to salute together: "See Your Majesty."

"Get up quickly." Emperor Taiping quickly stepped forward to help her up, and said dissatisfied: "Why did you bring Yu'er out, what should I do if I'm freezing?"

Concubine Yang Shu smiled lightly, handed the little man in her arms to Emperor Taiping, and said: "Yu'er is anxious to see the emperor, and has been shouting for a whole day, and the concubine did not dare to go there for fear of disturbing His Majesty."

Emperor Taiping took his son, smiled and hugged him inside.Zhou Jinyu was white and fat, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very cute, he grabbed Emperor Taiping's beard and called his father in a milky voice, which made Emperor Taiping's heart soft, the emperor who was usually calm and arrogant at this moment Containing all his aura, he was like an ordinary father, teasing his hard-earned son with kindness and kindness.

"Hey, if Yu'er wants to see me, you can take it with you. I'm busy every day, so I can see Yu'er can breathe a sigh of relief." Emperor Taiping sighed softly, teasing his son, Gu Xianghai estimated the time and stepped forward to remind Said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, should I go to the Empress's place?"

We haven't seen each other for a while, Emperor Taiping couldn't bear to part with his precious son, he laughed and teased Zhou Jinyu, without turning his head, he said: "Tell the queen, I will rest here tonight, accompany Yu'er, and go to see her another day. "

Although Gu Xianghai felt that something was wrong, he didn't dare to disobey his order, so he complied and sent someone to pass the message to Yan Hou Palace.

The next day in Yan Hou's palace, Zhou Jinhe got up early and entered the palace to pay her respects. It happened that Zhou Jinqian was also there.Compared to a few years ago, he is now much more mature and stable, he has lost his youthful innocence, and has his own thoughts.Seeing Zhou Jinhe coming, he got up and said, "Miss Huang."

The corners of Zhou Jinhe's lips were lightly raised, he greeted Queen Yan first, and then said to Zhou Jin with a smile: "I'm here too? Why do you look thinner?"

Zhou Jin smiled wryly, now that the situation is like this, how can he still eat with peace of mind?It's not that he is incapable of the throne, but he was raised as a prince since he was a child, and he has long regarded the throne as his rightful thing. Now Zhou Jinyu suddenly came, and he was born by his father. It is uncertain whether he will be a god in the future. Bit, still can't save life.

Emperor Taiping came to visit last night, and Empress Yan's complexion was not much better, she said: "As usual, Qian'er is already fifteen years old and should go to court, your father has not issued an order for so long, there must be something in his heart."

Zhou Jinhe didn't take it seriously, and said with a slight smile: "You don't know what father is thinking? It's just that Gan'er has not made a mistake now, so he can't find an excuse."

She immediately comforted Zhou Jin and said: "You don't have to worry too much, you have nothing to do with it, and my father can't abolish the crown prince for no reason, not to mention there are uncles and a group of veterans in the court, so my father won't mess around."

"Well, what the emperor said is true, Gan'er will remember." Even though Zhou Jinqian said that, he was still uneasy in his heart, and he was quite absent-minded while listening to Zhou Jinhe's conversation with Empress Yan.In the palace, the only person he could rely on was the Empress Yan.Zhou Jinhe is Emperor Taiping's favored daughter. It's hard to say which side he will stand at that time. Even Queen Yan doesn't have to let him ascend to the throne of God. She is the empress dowager anyway.Zhou Jinqian just felt tired. The huge imperial palace had no relatives, and the filial piety he had been like for several years was not as good as being close by blood.Previously, he was not as fond of the emperor's sister, but now with Zhou Jinyu, Emperor Taiping ignored him even more.

In the past few days, Emperor Taiping received a lot of memorials, all of which requested the crown prince to enter the court and participate in politics. He felt a headache when he saw it, so he shook the memorials in his hand and said bitterly: "Hmph! These old things! Cough cough cough!" He hadn't recovered from the wind and cold, and when he got angry, his cough became worse.

Gu Xianghai quickly picked up the memorial from the ground and put it back on the case table, persuading him: "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down."

Emperor Taiping angrily took a sip of hot tea, and heard the report from outside: "Your Majesty, Master Lu is here."

"Hmph, announce him to come in." Emperor Taiping suppressed his anger slightly, and said coldly.

Lu Junde came in to greet Emperor Taiping, seeing him like this, he asked carefully, "Your Majesty, what's bothering you?"

"Hmph, what's bothering me, Ai Qing doesn't know?" Emperor Taiping threw the pile of memorials on the table in front of him, and said coldly: "Look at this group of people, they just want me to pass the throne to outsiders so much. !"

Lu Junde picked up those memorials and looked at them, the leader was Yan Yi, who said he was talking about the stability of the country, he smiled in his heart, but he still showed an understanding on his face, and comforted Emperor Taiping: "My lords are also for the country and the country. For Sheji's sake, His Majesty is now in his prime, and he still has a lot of time to teach the second prince. His Highness the Crown Prince was originally the son of Prince Gong, and was adopted by His Majesty in order to stabilize people's hearts. Now that His Majesty has a son, His Highness should be changed Return to the name of Prince Gong to enjoy family happiness."

These words really touched Emperor Taiping's heart, but half of the courtiers supported the crown prince, so what he did would inevitably cause turmoil in the court.Emperor Taiping sighed helplessly: "Why don't I want to? It's just that the prime minister supports the prince now, what can I do?"

"Yan Xiang is the empress's elder brother. Naturally, he doesn't want anyone to come out to grab the empress's position, but after all, the second prince is His Majesty's own. No matter how good the crown prince is, it is better than the second prince's caring. What's more, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the second prince I'm afraid life will be difficult." Lu Junde's persuasion made Emperor Taiping very angry at the thought that his son would be bullied after a hundred years, and he was determined to abolish the crown prince.

The next morning, Emperor Taiping sat at the head of the court, and the courtiers below were divided into two factions as usual, and they were arguing endlessly about the crown prince's participation in politics.Emperor Taiping was not as angry as in the past, he looked coldly at the noisy people below, and after they had had enough of arguing, he said calmly: "I heard that Prime Minister Yan is not in good health these days. Set up the left and right prime ministers, the left prime minister is in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the right prime minister is in charge of the military department, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. Yan Xiang is the left prime minister, and the right prime minister is Master Lu, who will retire from the court."

After all, without waiting for everyone to react from the astonishment, Emperor Taiping retreated with a big hand, happily entered the harem to accompany his son, and ordered Gu Xianghai not to meet any ministers, which made all the ministers dumbfounded.Emperor Taiping's frequent admonitions in recent years made them forget how much he insisted on what he believed.Whatever he decides, no matter what means he uses, he must get it at any cost.
