[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

A big baby was sent away, and a little baby was coaxed to sleep.Only then did Zhu Youtang sleep with Mrs. Zhang.Originally the cold blanket was warmed by the stove, Zhu Youtang gently put his hand on Zhang's belly.The belly of his subordinate has not yet fully bulged, Zhu Youtang is happily looking forward to the birth of the next child.

"I don't know if it's a prince or a princess this time?" This is Zhu Youtang's third child, but Zhu Youtang is still looking forward to it.The eldest son is the prince, smart and sensible, and he looks good as the prince of a country.The second son is about to turn one year old. He is cute and cute. The two brothers have a very good relationship. Unlike when he was a child, he was isolated in the palace. Brothers are like enemies.Now this state makes him most satisfied.

"I hope she is a princess, and I can make up a "good" word for the Holy One." As the person next to her pillow, Mrs. Zhang certainly knew Zhu Youtang's thoughts.Now Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei are in the best condition. With another son who is similar in age, the two will inevitably take more care of the baby. It is hard to say whether the two brothers will have a grudge in the future.Zhu Youtang was eaten to death by her, she was still young, this time she gave birth to a princess to ease the relationship, and it will not be too late to have a son next time.

"I also hope that she is a little princess as beautiful as you." Zhu Youtang already has two "brats", so of course he wants a soft and fragrant little daughter.Pet her to grow up, train her to be a real princess, find a good husband for her, and marry her off.The more Zhu Youtang thought about it, the more sad he felt. If a little princess is born, he must start choosing a husband early in the future.Zhu Youtang felt bad when he thought about it: which boy can be worthy of the little princess on his heart?

"Now that Zhao'er has grown up, he will take good care of his younger brother." Mrs. Zhang was talking about Zhu Houzhao feeding Zhu Houwei tonight.Two children, one is four and a half years old, and the other is about to turn one year old.Zhu Houzhao's age is in an ordinary rich and noble family, and he can take good care of his younger brother at the dinner table without saying whether he will eat or not.

Zhu Youtang also remembered the scene tonight.Zhu Houzhao stayed in Kunning Palace for dinner, and Zhu Houwei, who was finally taken care of by someone, was naturally unwilling to leave his brother for a single step. Zhu Houzhao fed his brother with vegetable and rice paste before starting to eat by himself.Zhu Houzhao is skillful in feeding his younger brother, and he looks like a good brother at first glance.

"He's really grown up!" Zhu Youtang also sighed.He still remembered Zhu Houzhao's method of dealing with Li Guang, which was unprecedented and unheard of.First there is evidence, and then public grievances are aroused, revealing the true face of Taoist Zhang, one after another, so that Zhu Youtang has to deal with Li Guang.There was also that "miscellaneous opera performance" that completely shocked Zhu Youtang, which really eliminated Zhu Youtang's idea of ​​seeking longevity by taking elixir.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao has a pure character and never avoids Zhu Youtang in doing things.It is Zhu Youtang who trusts the eldest son who is only four years old so much.

"Wei'er is getting old too. After a few months, I won't be able to take care of him when I grow up. He can leave me at that time. They have such a good relationship as brothers, so it's better to let Zhao'er go back to Kunning Palace for a short stay. I can take care of my son if he wants to go out of the pavilion to enroll. Secondly, Zhao'er is a very handsome big brother, so let him take care of Wei'er for me after class." Naturally, Mrs. Zhang would not let the two brothers train him. opportunity for affection.Now Zhu Youtang only has these two sons, and the future emperor will probably be one of them. Mrs. Zhang must try to kill the possibility of brothers fighting against the wall in the cradle as much as possible.

Mrs. Zhang knew what Zhu Youtang was thinking, so Zhu Youtang naturally understood Mrs. Zhang and her worries. "It's so good." The two brothers had competition and made progress together, so Zhu Youtang was naturally happy.But like Zhang, Zhu Youtang also doesn't want the two to lose their brotherhood just because they are in the royal family.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Xu Shoufu doesn't agree with Zhao'er leaving the court so early to enroll. Now that the Holy Majesty is trying to let Zhao'er leave the cabinet to enroll, will Xu Shoufu have any objections?" Everyone said that the harem should not interfere in politics, but anyone with a little brain would I know this sentence is not reliable.People in the harem, especially the favored concubines and respected empresses and concubines are all very close to the emperor.The emperor is also a human being, and he also has the desire to confide, and the longing for someone to give him comfort.As long as a smarter person can interfere with the emperor's thoughts through some subtle actions, he can intervene in the government.

"It's okay, you are still pregnant with the child, the body is important to sleep."

Mrs. Zhang saw that Zhu Youtang was evasive and did not answer, knowing that there must be something tricky in it, but Zhu Youtang had already expressed her reluctance to say more, so she couldn't ask further questions.She could only hold back her thoughts silently and talk about it tomorrow.

The palace was full of festive atmosphere, but the atmosphere in Xu Pu's mansion, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was not so relaxed.

The outside of Xu Pu's study is full of plum blossoms, and now the wintersweet is blooming, the snow is glistening, and the fragrance is floating, which means that the fragrance of tea is more vivid.

"My hometown, Luxi, is a good place. Every winter there, the bamboos are still green and the red plums are brilliant, unlike everything in the north." Xu Pu brewed a pot of Buyi tea, which he had treasured, and poured it to the three people present. A junior. "Among all the teas, I only love Buri tea. The older it is, the more fragrant it becomes. It's just that the southwest is not peaceful now, and there have been no new Buri teas in the world in recent years. This cake was bestowed by the emperor five years ago. I am old. I don’t know if I still have a chance to see the next pie.”

One of the people present was Wu Yan, Xu Pu's nephew, "Why is uncle here? Now that the affairs of the court and China are going well, we have to rely heavily on uncle."

"I can't do it anymore. I can't wait for you to wait for a young boy. It's time to get old."

The three hurriedly persuaded: "I can't do it, I can't do it."

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian sneered as they watched the pair of nephews and uncles sing together.It really wasn't a good thing for the old fox to invite them.

Xu Pu's play was almost finished, and he got to the point: "I'm going to retire, and you young people should step up. It's just that there is an urgent matter here, and the three of you have an idea."

Wu Yan hurriedly said: "Uncle, please tell me, as long as my nephew can do it, he will definitely die."

Xu Pu put Wu Yan on the road like this, touched his long white beard and smiled, "It's not a big deal, but it's still a bit tricky about the frontier." Without making a sound, he continued: "Today the Hami battle report has arrived in the palace. Eunuch Jiang has already reported the auspiciousness to the emperor. Now I am celebrating in the palace."

Li Dongyang took a sip of tea, thinking that something happened to Hami again.

"The battle report received by the palace is for entering Beijing at noon today, but another battle report followed and entered Beijing at [-]:[-] PM." Seeing that the two of them had finally changed, Xu Pu said, "This battle report hastened to catch up with the previous ones." A battle report is just one step too late."

Filling himself with a full cup of tea, Xu Pu smiled and slowly revealed the shocking news: "After the army recaptured Hami, they only rescued Shanba's wife and daughter, but Shanba himself was still in the hands of the Turpan people. "

This Shanba is the cousin of Hanshen, the former King of Zhongshun, who was named King of Zhongshun in the fifth year of Hongzhi.Shanba, who was named Queen Zhongshun, was not only domineering in Hami, but also often attacked and harassed Turpan.

In the spring of the sixth year of Hongzhi, while patrolling the border between Turpan and Hami, the generals of Shaanxi and Pakistan secretly broke into the pastures of the Turpan people, robbed their property, and finally killed people, destroyed their bodies and traces, and set a fire to burn everything down. clean.

Of course, Turpan people who hate so much will not let it go.In order to take revenge, the Turpan people immediately assembled heavy troops and raided Hami.As a result, Hami fell overnight.The Turpan people captured Shanba, dismembered and dismembered the Hami general Amulang who had led his troops to resist Turpan.In order to take revenge, the Turpan people even killed most of the Hami people.

Although Shanba is self-inflicted, he is the King of Zhongshun personally proclaimed by Zhu Youtang.Now that he is still in the hands of the enemy, is Xu Jin fighting or retreating?The army of the Ming Dynasty was trapped in Hami and could not move an inch.

"When you are discussing whether to attack Hami, you are all on the side of Xu Pu." As soon as Xu Pu mentioned the position of the people before the battle, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang immediately knew Xu Pu's intention. "I was opposed to fighting this war at the time, mainly because of the court's finances. Now that the war has started, I can't say anything. It's just that Xu Jin recommended by Mr. Ma has made a mistake, and I am deeply regretful."

Xu Pu smiled meaningfully, and continued: "Master Ma said: Xu Jin is here, Hami will be flat. But now..."

"This incident only proves that it was indeed a mistake to attack Hami. Now even if Xu Jin regains Hami, he has to spit out the meat he ate, wasting the money of the court in vain." Wu Yan was among the four people present. The official rank is the lowest, and he is still an editor of the Imperial Academy, and his uncle can't speak ill of Ma Wensheng, so he has to do it for him.

Xie Qian has always opposed the Ming army's going to war. In his opinion, the Tatars are the real confidant of the Ming Dynasty.The Ming army's attack on Hami will inevitably be restrained to a certain extent. If there is a problem with the attack on Hami, the consequences will be disastrous.

He has also always been very disgusted with the main fighters in the imperial court. Nowadays, there are earthquakes, droughts, and frequent floods everywhere, and they don't even have time to take care of the people's livelihood, so why talk about pests like Hami.

Now that he has the opportunity to make Ma Wensheng suffer, why not do it.Besides, Xu Ge was always playing as a striker first, so he should know the elegant meaning by listening to the string song. "Master Ma insists on the main battle, and wastes people's money. Naturally, this humble minister should speak to the Holy One."

Li Dongyang naturally has his own thoughts. Now that Liu Jian and Xie Qian in the cabinet are cronies of the prince, he can only temporarily belong to Xu Pu's side. Now that Xu Pu wants to deal with Ma Wensheng, he naturally has to second him. "It's my duty to speak out when there is a grievance. Only Jiang Cong reported the auspiciousness to the emperor, but now we report it in court. The emperor..."

"Naturally, we don't need to worry about this. Mr. Jiang reported the auspiciousness of Chuxue, which has nothing to do with Hami's affairs. Naturally, the emperor will not be angry." Xu Pu naturally also considered this issue.
