Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 239 The Old Concubine's Birthday
In the past, these records about the clan must be handed over to the emperor for his decision.

If the emperor thinks that there is no problem with the approval opinions of the Ministry of Rites, he will directly let the Ministry of Rites handle it.

For example, the imperial family will send officials from the Ministry of Rites to congratulate, but in fact it is to meet the person concerned and check whether there is such a person, not to pay for it.

Some simple ones can be directly distributed to the local government, and local officials can bear witness.

"I'm so busy now, such a trivial matter, and I still waste my manpower to go to the place far away? It's just a change of person. Anyway, as long as there is only one person as the heir, it's fine if you don't eat empty salary, and the rest are up to them! Let Anlu Prefecture Zhizhou Just do the things of witnessing, you hurry up and write your opinions, with so much work, why do you keep working around such trivial things?"

Mao Cheng said impatiently.

"Yes! Your lord!"

Zhu Xizhou sighed helplessly.

This Mao Shangshu, if you don't ask, he will definitely say a few words when he sees it, saying that he has made his own decisions.

If you ask, still hang up.

Under his hands, it's really difficult to do errands!
……

After returning from Xuanmiao Temple, King Xing lived in Qin Shao's place.

It also seems to have the intention of staying permanently, and keeps moving his daily necessities over.

Qin Shao was a little helpless, but seeing that his mental condition had improved a lot, he didn't say anything more.

It's just that after the last attack, Qin Shao obviously felt that Zhu Youzhu's body was much weaker than before, and his mental state was also a little weak, and he was prone to sleepiness.

For his illness, he actually didn't have much to do, he could only ask Zhou Wencai to help him continue the diagnosis and treatment.

As for the king's doctor, Qin Shao, who had never seen him again, he didn't ask how they dealt with it.

Life in Anluzhou is very comfortable.

The business of the two stores is very stable. Zhu Youzheng of Xiangyang Mansion has already opened two stores in Xiangyang Mansion and Zaoyang, and it is said that the business is also booming.

It's just that Zhang Cong's letter from Shangjing seemed a little downcast.

The store's business is not bad, but "Jinghua Tabloid" is low-key, and now it can only write some entertainment, gossip and folk anecdotes in a low-key manner.

It was a bit of a blow to Zhang Cong that the emperor left Xuanfu.

He seemed to have really seen the situation in the court, and was very angry with Yang Ting and his gang.

Qin Shao could only write back to let them do things with peace of mind, and told him to study hard to prepare for the exam next year.

An Yongzhen is like a fish in water, their drama club is very successful, he doesn't care about political affairs, he is obsessed with drama scripts.

Zhu Zhishan is now working in the Ministry of Rites.

He has a good mentality, but he is a duck to water in the etiquette department.

Zhu Zhishan is a son of a family, although he looks weird, but he is actually much smarter and smoother than Zhang Cong in terms of interpersonal communication, at least he can bend and stretch.

It was Wang Tu's letter, and King Xing read it with a serious expression.

Qin Shao saw him pondering for a while holding a letter, and leaned forward to see what was going on.

Wang Tu's letter was very detailed, and the parents in Shangjing were short-sighted, with various details and trivial matters.

Qin Shao finally understood the reason why King Xing knew all the little things about him in Shangjing. The "internal traitor" turned out to be here.

Wang Tu said that everything in Shangjing was fine, but the old concubine knew that Qin Shao was in a bad mood when he returned to Anlu Prefecture.

And the concubine's birthday is coming soon, they are all thinking about how to give it to the old concubine, and the old concubine is also very concerned about the situation of King Xing.

"The concubine's birthday is coming soon! Time flies so fast, it's been so many years!"

King Xing sighed.

Qin Shao understands the pain in King Xing's heart. His old mother has not seen him for decades, and he can't see him!
This Ming system is really impersonal!
"Since it's the concubine's birthday, why don't I go to Shangjing to send some things over to see the old man. Now I can enter Shangjing with my identity, which is convenient. As for the future..."

Qin Shao felt a little regretful when he thought about it.

If he becomes King Xing in the future, it may not be so convenient to go to Beijing.

Now it is because there is Xingwang sitting in the town, and the status of the eldest son is special, and his status is not too restricted.

Think about it later...

Forget it, take one step and say one step!
He also has a hidden identity.

If it really doesn't work, I will become King Xing by myself in the future, at worst, I will fake my death and disappear.

But you can't tell King Xing about this.

He is a modern person, and he doesn't take things like inheritance from heirs too seriously.

For Zhu Youzhao, he is not satisfied with living a prison-like life in a corner.

But if it is said that the heir is cut off, it is more uncomfortable than killing him.

Zhu Houcong's murder of his father and brother was a serious crime. Even King Xing was reluctant to part with this son, and would rather imprison him than keep him.

If I said that I don't want King Xing in the future and let him die, it would be strange if Zhu Youzhao didn't work hard with me!

"That's fine. You can go to Shangjing to see the concubine. The concubine has been alone in the capital for many years. I am not filial! Xi'er, if you go, it is equivalent to doing filial piety for the father! Fortunately, you are there, otherwise I am not filial. I am really sorry for the concubine's kindness in nurturing me. Back in Shangjing, my mother taught me many ways, but my body is not good enough, and I let the concubine worry about it, it is really unfilial!"

When Zhu Youzhu mentioned his old mother, his heart was full of sadness.

"You don't have to worry. I went to see the concubine earlier and saw that she is in good health. The concubine is strong-minded and optimistic. She will definitely take care of her body."

Qin Shao comforted.

To be honest, although the concubine is not young, she is still very energetic.

To put it bluntly, it was even better than Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao's complexion.

He met the concubine twice in Shangjing, and met Zhu Houzhao for the first time.

Because Zhu Houzhao asked, he also counted the way.

And since Wang Yun wasn't at home, he didn't have to worry so much about following Mrs. Fu to see the concubine.

I don't know if it's because of hope, or because of a good mood, but when I saw the concubine for the second time, the old lady was more energetic.

He also murmured that one day the court's policy will be out of order, and maybe he can see his son Zhu Youzhao again.

Qin Shao didn't tell Zhu Youtang these words, so as not to make him sad again.

Although a little sad, Zhu Youzhao was very happy to be able to give his wife a gift.

Dragging his unhealthy body, let people prepare for the ceremony.

There are many things in Kyoto, Zhu Youzhu still has to prepare, and got two carts.

If it wasn't for Qin Shao's persuasion, he would continue to insist.

"Shangjing has all these things. If the concubine really likes it, I can just buy it later, otherwise it will be troublesome to drag along."

Qin Shao couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said.

If someone else said it, Zhu Youzhu wouldn't listen, and his own son had no choice but to let it go.

Thinking about the situation in Shangjing, Anlu Prefecture is still safe, Qin Shao asked Han Jinrong to stay at home.

Wang Yin and Xiaosanzi followed Qin Shao on the road, and together they followed Zhu Chen to Shangjing to give birthday presents.

It was the second time I went to Shangjing, and this time I took the official road, plus the horses in the Xingwang Mansion were excellent, and the tokens opened the way all the way, it was a smooth ride.

It took less than ten days to reach the territory of Bazhou.

They rested for two days, and the group continued on the road, arriving in Shangjing in about five or six days.

Zhu Chen went to the Ministry of Rites to report, and then went to the palace to give the old dowager a birthday present.

Qin Shao and Wang Yin returned to their home in Shangjing first.

His status is special, if he enters the palace with Zhu Chen, it will easily arouse suspicion.

Anyway, he has already arrived in Shangjing, and it won't be too late for him to go see the old concubine with Mrs. Fu.

"Master Qin, you are finally back!"

Zhang Cong was very excited when he saw Qin Shao.

Even if Qin Shao asked him to do it freely in Shangjing, he was fully responsible for the special tabloid matters in the store, and he just did it according to his own ideas.

But I don't know why, since Master Qin left, he has struggled to do many things.

It's not like when Master Qin was here, he had a few sparring matches with "Swallows' Jokes", and the opponent was defeated, and he still couldn't be caught.

He was in charge during this period, although the firepower was not small, but he was quickly regarded by the court gang as a tabloid talking about the government, the investigation was investigated, and he was constantly attacked by "Joking in the Yandu".

These days tabloid printing and publishing are sneaky!
Qin Shao saw that the house looked like a newspaper room, and Zhang Cong's haggard face made him dumbfounded.

"Master Qin, if this tabloid keeps writing trivial things, I really can't write any more!"

After dinner, Zhang Cong said with a little downcast.

"Mr. Zhang, when I started the tabloid, I once said what was the original intention of the tabloid?"

"Expand your influence and create influence among the people!"

"Would you like those parents who are short-sighted, entertaining and gossiping?"

"The people love it!"

"That's fine! Many times the curve is also a path. Now you know the situation in the court. What's the use if you can point out the current evils and expose something? It's just adding danger to yourself!"

"Listening to what you say is better than ten years of reading! My lord, I'm so stupid! It's the same for scientific examinations. Before, I only knew how to write according to my own preferences, and I didn't want to cater to those people's ideas. After your guidance, I realized that I can only go up. Only then can I do things according to my own ideas! This tabloid incident, I am still making old mistakes! Hey!"

Qin Shao didn't say anything more.

The reason why his store is safe and sound is that the tabloids have not been destroyed by those people.

After all, those people don't know his specific identity, they only know that he should have some relationship with Zhu Houzhao.

What's more, the tabloids are just brushing aside at present, and have not endangered the interests of those people.

Those people didn't come forward to target them.

Their current strength is still very weak, all they need is to expand their influence, and one day they will be able to come in handy if they really use it.

What you need to know is that mastering the media has been mastering the right to speak since ancient times, and the media is the mouthpiece.

"Master Qin, do you think the emperor will be unsafe in the Xuan Mansion? I heard from Yan Song a few days ago that many people in the court were also discussing that the Xuan Mansion is not safe. The Tatars disturb the side from time to time, and the emperor has an impulsive personality. , in case you go to the battlefield and repeat the civil fort..."

"How old is Zhengde now?"

Qin Shao suddenly asked in surprise.

"12 years of Zhengde! Eldest son?"

Zhang Cong looked at Qin Shao with some surprise. For them, this was a pediatric problem.

Why would the eldest son ask this?

In the 12th year of Zhengde, in 1517, Yingzhou won a great victory!

The most nonsensical, suspenseful and controversial battle recorded in history!
Zhu Houzhao personally went to the battlefield to command and kill the enemy!
According to the issues discussed by Zhang Cong and the others, it can be guessed that this battle should not have happened yet.

Qin Shao knew that the battle took place in winter, like October or November, which meant that it was not far from now.
