Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 69 Aftermath 1
Inner Court Wai West Road, Xianxi Palace.

Concubine Shao was in a hurry to tidy up her two sons' clothes. Although her children were still young, she would send them to Wenhua Hall to study every day.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, taught that "princes who are enshrined, and those who have not yet established a country, should go out of the cabinet to study." Emperor Chenghua paid great attention to the education of the emperor's children, so he arranged for the two sons born to Concubine Shao to go to the cabinet to study.

"Mother and concubine, the emperor doesn't want to go to class!"

"Yeah, it's no fun going to class there!"

Both Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao and Qi Wang Zhu Youzun had already changed their clothes, but they only revealed their children's playful nature and showed their weariness of studying, pleading.

Concubine Shao has a virtuous and aggressive temperament, but she hopes that her two sons can study and become successful, so she immediately urged with a sullen face: "You two hurry up and go out, and continue to dawdle, be careful of mother spanking your ass!"

Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao and Qi Wang Zhu Youzhao immediately stretched out their hands to protect their buttocks, as if they still remembered this, they had to obediently turn around and prepare to go out.

"It's not good! It's not good!" Eunuch Li Fang hurried in from the outside, looking very panicked.

Concubine Shao thought that her two sons were walking too slowly and wanted to push her, so she was dissatisfied with Li Fang who ran in in a hurry, "Why are you so panicked?"

"The servant girl just learned that Eunuch Huai'en was arrested, so she went to inquire about the specific news! Unexpectedly, the ministers forced His Majesty to abdicate to King Xing. Now His Majesty and the courtiers have been arguing over the matter of seizing the door. His Majesty just went to court early Then they came towards Xianxi Palace! Empress Dowager, why don't you take King Xing and King Qi and run away quickly?" Li Fang suggested in a panicked manner after hearing the situation report just now.

escape?This is the palace, where else can I escape?
Concubine Shao's mouth trembled, and she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, her whole body was in a state of disorientation.

She is not completely unaware of the throne, after all, her son is only the second in line of succession.

If Zhu Youtang had any problems, his elder son would inherit the throne. Not only would he not need to experience the pain of separation from mother and child, but he would also be able to rule the harem like the empress dowager Zhou.

It's just that since Zhu Youtang boarded the big treasure, she saw that Zhu Youtang was a healthy young man, but she slowly gave up this idea.

But it never occurred to him that although he no longer had this idea, those officials still refused to let his son go.

Although it is not clear why the ministers wanted to support their eldest son, but now that Zhu Youtang is coming towards him in the early morning, this is undoubtedly to ask the teacher to punish him, and he may even kill his son to prevent future troubles.

"Son, your life is so miserable!" Concubine Shao felt sad for a moment, she hugged Xing Wang Zhu Youzhao and cried bitterly.

Woo!
King Qi Zhu Youzhen was the youngest, and he was sad because he was kicked out to study, but now seeing his mother crying, he started to cry for no reason.

Wow……

Xing Wang Zhu Youtang always thought that Zhu Youtang was a kind brother, but seeing his mother and concubine crying in fright just when she heard that Zhu Youtang was coming, she couldn't help crying in fear.

For a while, the mother and son were crying together, and Li Fang, who was watching beside him, was also infected and kept wiping away tears.

ah chirp...

Zhu Youtang, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, was on his way to the west road outside the inner court, but he wanted to come over to comfort the sensible Concubine Shao. After all, he actually used King Xing for this matter, but he suddenly couldn't help but hit him hard. sneezed.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother would like to invite you to the Renshou Palace!" A court lady suddenly stood in front of the palace road and saluted respectfully.

Zhu Youtang didn't understand why the Queen Mother was looking for him, so there was no need to rush to Xianxi Palace now, so he asked Long Nian to divert to Renshou Palace, which was closer.

Chengxi Palace, main hall.

Zhang Yujiao was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, lightly applying her makeup, but she planned to visit Zhu Youtang in person after Zhu Youtang went to court in the morning.

Although she still didn't want to take the initiative to succumb to Zhu Youtang, it's just that the current situation has changed. Her eldest brother Zhang Heling is going to marry the daughter of Wang Zeng, the grandson of Wang Ji, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

It's a pity that this marriage was not bestowed by Zhu Youtang, but as his brother-in-law, Zhu Youtang had to pay tens of thousands of taels of gift money for his elder brother's marriage no matter what.

She knows that the inner treasury is no better than the prince's mansion, and the prince's mansion can only wait for the year's gift, but the inner treasury has Huangzhuang, Huangdian and other properties managed by the Yumajian. Ten thousand salt quotations are also acceptable.

"Crown Princess, Your Majesty has gone back to the West Outer Road, probably to the Queen Mother!" A palace lady came in panting to report.

Zhang Yujiao had just finished drawing her beautiful eyebrows, and said to the maid waiting next to her, "Does it look good?"

"The princess concubine's paintings are so beautiful. Your Majesty must be fascinated by the Qianqing Palace later!" Xiao Zi knew Zhang Yujiao's temperament well, so she complimented her authentically.

Zhang Yujiao's chin was raised slightly, and there seemed to be a humming in her nose, but seeing the maid who came in to report was still standing, her pretty face was immediately covered with frost.

"What are you doing here in a daze, and stop staring!" Xiao Zi noticed Zhang Yujiao's strangeness, and reprimanded the fidgeting little maid.

The little palace maid seemed to be pardoned, so she hurried to visit again.

"Princess, Zhang Siqing, please see me!" Just as the little maid left, a little eunuch reported.

Zhang Yujiao didn't understand why her father came to visit suddenly, but naturally she had no reason to refuse the door, so she asked someone to bring her father over.

"Daughter! What a shame! It's a shame!" Zhang Luan angrily yelled at the smartest daughter after seeing Zhang Yujiao.

Zhang Yujiao has a maturity and composure far beyond those of her peers, but she slowly poured the tea with the lid of the tea and said, "Father, our Zhang family is about to arrange a big wedding for the elder brother, and the daughter will come to His Majesty to ask for it later." If you want a reward, why do you need to be angry about some trivial things?"

"Daughter, this happy event can't be done, just... just now, Wang Zeng's grandson is going to divorce our Zhang family!" Zhang Luan seemed even more aggrieved, and immediately vomited bitterly.

Zhang Yujiao was furious immediately, so she stopped pouring tea and said, "Why did he, Wang Zeng, do this?"

"It's not because of you!" Zhang Luan hesitated for a moment, his eyes looked very complicated.

Zhang Yujiao was taken aback for a moment, looked up in confusion and said, "Me?"

"Although this is the palace, there are some things that cannot be hidden from the outside eyes. They already know everything about this place! Ever since His Majesty ascended the throne, have you ever been lucky enough to come to you one night?" Zhang Man hesitated for a moment, and immediately decided Break the window paper.

Zhang Yujiao didn't expect the people outside to be so supernatural, but she suppressed her anger and said: "For this reason, they think that His Majesty no longer loves me, and even wants to abolish the empress, right?" At this point, she suddenly shook her head slightly Said: "This matter is also wrong. Although Wang Zeng's daughter was born with a beautiful face and beautiful appearance and is sought after by all the sons and brothers, this in-law is a matchmaker of the Xu family. Wang Zeng dare not offend Xu Pu, right?"

"Wang Zeng's grandson saw that Xu Pu had lost power, so he said he wanted to divorce our Zhang family! Besides, it was your cousin's wife, Xu Yuanxiu, who was the one who set the stage for this marriage. She is Xu Pu's most beloved daughter. It’s fake, but it’s still not representative of the Xu family!” Zhang Luan still had enough brains, so he pointed out the whole story.

In the morning just now, he witnessed a farce surrounding the seizure of the door.

Everyone has been very optimistic about Xu Pu before, not to mention that he was obviously excluded by His Majesty. Now that the chief assistant of the cabinet Wan An has returned smoothly, how can Xu Pu have a good life.

Maybe other people don't know, but they all know the close relationship between Xu Pu and Wynn. Wan An's expulsion by Wynn must have been ordered by Xu Pu.

Not to mention whether Huai En would bite Xu Pu out in Fusi Prison in Beizhen, Wan An's revenge alone must be a storm, and Xu Pu's downfall is completely predictable.

Zhang Yujiao was taken aback again, and she didn't know why, so she said: "Why did Xu Pu lose power? Isn't he the leader of Qingliu? His Majesty wanted to draft a few days ago, and he took the lead to stop it!"

"Daughter, listen to my father's advice, stop playing with your cleverness. You have to admit your mistakes to His Majesty, otherwise don't talk about abolishing the queen, and you won't even be able to sit in the position of queen!" Zhang Luan looked at this smart man with complicated eyes. Daughter, she seemed to speak earnestly and sincerely.

Zhang Yujiao's face changed suddenly, but she immediately put down the teacup in her hand and said, "I'm tired, send Zhang Siqing out of the palace!"
