Chapter 1068: The Calm Palace

There is no war in the northwest, Xie Qian was full of confidence when he said this, because he really thought so. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, when he thought that there were still a large number of Tatar soldiers and horses in the northwest who did not know where to go, Xie Qian felt a little drumming in his heart, so he did not say anything to the end, but only said "There is nothing to do in the northwest for the time being", so that even if there is a big change in the northwest, he can get out of the matter, which is what he realized after experiencing many accidents.

The same mistake, Xie Qian didn't want to make it again.

Since there is no war in the northwest, the defense of Gyeonggi can be lighter, the soldiers and horses in the northwest can gradually recover the lost territory, and even in a few days, the martial law in Beijing can be lifted......

Every courtier thought about the good side of things, and naturally there were thoughtful people like Ma Wensheng, who thought that the Tatars might only be temporarily recuperating and were currently gathering troops.

However, Ma Wensheng also agreed with the situation analyzed by Xie Qian before, and the Tatars were not as strong and invincible as the Warats at the beginning. Although the Ming Dynasty experienced the defeat of Yulinwei, the Chinese army did not suffer much attrition, Liu Daxia was in the northwest, and Shenxi reinforcements were also stationed in Juyong Pass, and it was unlikely that the Tatars would break the inner Great Wall and commit the Ming Dynasty.

So Ma Wensheng didn't put forward the words to make Zhu Youzhu entangled at this time, after all, Emperor Hongzhi was sick and disobedient, and his mood must not be better, whoever came out to commit Longyan would need guts and courage.

Ma Wensheng, as an old minister, has long since lost his original courage and courage, and only hopes to be a secretary who can complete a smooth transition.

Even Ma Wensheng didn't say anything, a "treacherous and cunning" person like Zhang Mao would not have nothing to do, and as for Zhang Heling and some officials with low status in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi, they would not block the emperor at this time.

"There is no war in the Northwest." This sentence seemed to become the consensus of the courtiers present, and everyone spoke around this point of view.

……

There is a discussion in the Qianqing Palace, and in the Kunning Palace where the queen is located, Empress Zhang is taking care of the little princess who has only been born for a few days in the bedroom of the apse.

The little princess is very healthy, her eyes are rolling slightly, she looks smart and cute, and she is very cute, but her parents Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang do not see the slightest smile on their faces.

Zhu Youzhu and his wife actually hope that this birth will give birth to a son, so that the possibility of the emperor's heir being cut off will be greatly reduced.

Empress Zhang felt that her stomach was "not angry", her husband was seriously ill, and she should have used festive things to rush to rejoice, but she did not add a man to the royal family, and she was disappointed. On weekdays, Queen Zhang has a straight face and gets angry at every turn, even if she takes care of the little princess, Queen Zhang doesn't care, everything is taken care of by the nurse.

Since the birth of the little princess, Zhu Youzhu has not arrived in Kunning Palace for many days, which is not only due to Zhu Youji's repeated illness, but also because Zhu Youzhu is very dissatisfied with Queen Zhang's daughter.

There are some things that don't need Zhu Youzhu to say, and Empress Zhang can also feel it, because her husband has become more and more perfunctory and cold to her after she gave birth to the princess, and then the three sides and Datong and Xuanfu are urgent, Zhu Youzhu moved back to the Qianqing Palace under the pretext of dealing with state affairs, and did not stay in Kunning Palace.

After Empress Zhang inquired clearly, the emperor was recuperating in the Qianqing Palace, and no longer asked about the war in the northwest.

Xiao Jing never rushes with others, such a good old man rarely disobeys the opinions of several cabinet ministers, so most of the votes of cabinet scholars are directly turned into Zhu Criticism, and only a very small number of important matters will be submitted to Zhu Youji for personal approval, but only a slight change is made on Zhu Approval.

The power of the three cabinet scholars is becoming heavier and heavier, but this cannot change the reality that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang often ask for leave, even when the situation in the northwest is becoming increasingly tense, the cabinet is still only Xie Qian in rotation many times, Xie Qian has faintly become the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and major military and political matters are decided in one word.

“…… Queen Mother, the prince is all right in the East Palace these days, before the slave maid went to send citrus, His Royal Highness the prince also invited the slave maid to eat one, of course, the slave maid ...... Didn't dare to eat it. I heard that the prince occasionally had a cold the day before yesterday, but he recovered in one day, and even the imperial doctor exclaimed that the prince was blessed by God, and his physical recovery ability was too strong! ”

Empress Zhang has a strong desire to control her husband and son, but she does not have much ambition, and her only wish is to be cherished by her husband and filial piety by her son.

Empress Zhang is jealous, but she is probably a woman who can run a family but can't hold the country, so Queen Zhang has been keeping to herself all her life, she has the opportunity to listen to politics in history, but she has never been involved in power, and even after Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, Zhang's family was suppressed, and she just knelt down to beg the emperor who she helped up with one hand to give mercy.

But Empress Zhang is very harsh on slaves and maids, sometimes more like a "poisonous woman", and will not spare any slave and maid who dares to deceive her, as well as seduce and neglect her husband and son, and many maids have been punished for this, and some even died.

The Imperial Palace Ouchi is a place where tears are not believed, and Empress Zhang is convinced of this.

Empress Zhang said angrily: "The prince is sick, such a big thing, how dare he deceive the palace?" Come on, drag it out to play the 20th board, and see who dares to know about it in the future! ”

The palace maid of the report was very wronged, she was sent by the queen to take care of the prince, the prince said that he had a headache and was uncomfortable the day before yesterday, so he did not go to class, and the next morning the imperial doctor went, and the result was diagnosed and found that the prince had no problem, if he was replaced by Zhang Yuan, Liu Jin, these eunuchs with brains, they must know that this is the prince pretending to be sick, this palace maid has no experience at all, believe it, and actually came to tell the queen that it belongs to him to find a fight.

The palace maids were dragged out to play the board, and the eunuchs did not dare to keep their hands, because if they could not beat Empress Zhang to their satisfaction, they themselves might also suffer.

Empress Zhang looked at the little princess who was hugged by the nurse, took it in her arms, glared at her daughter, and scolded: "It's all your fault, the queen mother could have given birth to a prince, no matter who will be the emperor from now on, the queen mother can be worry-free for a lifetime, and the Zhang family can also prosper for generations, now because of you, the queen mother was snubbed by your father, blame you!" ”

The child, who was only ten days old, was actually slapped by Queen Zhang, although it was separated by thick swaddling, but the child still cried out with a "wow".

The nurse and the palace maid watched from the side, and no one dared to step forward to dissuade them.

When Queen Zhang heard her daughter crying, she became more and more upset, and actually let go and threw the princess to the ground.

The nurse and the palace maid were shocked, and they hurried over to pick them up, but in vain, the little princess's swaddling clothes fell to the ground. Fortunately, Empress Zhang was in confinement, and it was late autumn, and the blanket on the floor of the Kunning Palace was very thick, and the swaddling clothes fell on the fluffy futon, which did not cause an accident.

"Crying, crying, crying, crying?"

Empress Zhang looked irritable, leaned over and wanted to grab her daughter and throw her daughter on the ground.

The nurse and the palace maid had already stepped forward, and the nurse took the little princess into her arms...... A little guy who has just been born for more than ten days, he doesn't know why he is rejected by his mother, and the child can't express it, only crying.

Queen Zhang has been scolding, and she has no reason.

A group of palace maids didn't know what was going on, kneeling on the ground and trembling, but the nurse was a "person who came over", knowing that once a woman gave birth to a child, if she could not get the care of her husband or family members, and the grievances in her heart could not be vented, she was easy to think crankily, and finally evolved into a very terrible tyrannical emotion.

The nurse doesn't understand that this is "postpartum depression", but she knows that this kind of thing is very common among the people, but because of the low status of women, even if she gives birth to a daughter, she doesn't dare to come nonsense, but this is the palace, Queen Zhang has a status second only to the emperor, and she is the first queen in China since ancient times to be monogamous with the emperor, no wonder Queen Zhang's mood will be different from others.

The little princess cried for a long time, and suddenly stopped crying, because she was hungry.

When the little guy pouted and ate to his heart's content, the nurse looked at the little princess in her arms and whispered: "Little princess, you eat hard and grow up, so that you will not make your mother unhappy when you grow up, so that you can protect yourself...... I wonder what kind of colt you can marry? Will it be rich forever? ”

At this time, the little guy didn't know what it meant to grow up, and she didn't know what a "colt" was, she only knew that she was swaying around just now, and she didn't feel so comfortable, so she cried; I'm hungry and hungry, and I don't have time to cry; When the sleepiness arrives when you are full, you want to sleep comfortably.

For an ordinary person, the infancy is the happiest moment in life, carefree, but the vast majority of people do not have this life memory.

……

In the Fang Palace, Zhu Houzhao finally finished a day's class, returned to the dormitory early, picked up the martial arts novel that Shen Xi gave him when he drove him back to the palace that day, and looked fascinated that he couldn't even take care of eating.

The sequels of these martial arts novels were written by Shen Xi in the final stage of the suppression of bandits and on the way to Beijing in the north, and there are not many pages, but there are the finales of "The Condor Heroes" and "Lu Xiaofeng", as well as the beginning of a new book.

At the end of each book, Zhu Houzhao will have a feeling of loss, and the whole person feels empty. Fortunately, Shen Xi wrote the beginning of "Chivalrous Journey" again, and the bear child didn't watch it for long, and he was immersed in the wonderful world of "dog mongrel".

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should eat, and then you have to take a bath and rest!" Zhang Yuan entered the dormitory and said respectfully.

"No, you go down first. Hongu will sleep when he is tired. After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he asked casually, "What time is it?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the second watch drum has just been beaten!" ”

"It's only the second watch? Wait, I won't sleep until three watches. Oh yes, prepare me a snack, and tea, the tea is not too hot, and I will eat it myself when I am hungry for a while. ”

Zhu Hou has taken care of martial arts novels to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Zhang Yuan had no choice, so he could only go out and prepare as ordered.

The prince said that he wanted to eat snacks, Zhang Yuan was worried that he would not be full, in addition to sending a few plates of pastries, he also asked people to send hot meals to the dormitory, but Zhu Houzhao ignored him at all.

When the drum sounded outside, Zhu Houzhao finally got a little tired, stood up and stretched, and said, "Mr. Shen is absolutely amazing, this story is really well written, and I don't know how his head grows, he actually came up with such an interesting story...... Could it be that all this is true, so it's a no-brainer? (To be continued.) )
