In the deep palace, several guards in golden clothes hurriedly broke into the Cining Palace carrying a bottle of wine inlaid with gold and jade bottles.
In the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother Sun was completely despairing. She lay limply on the phoenix couch, her eyes filled with the sadness of a dying person. The Queen Mother Sun, who was not yet forty years old, now looked like she was eighty or ninety years old. The old woman is dying.
"Queen Mother Sun."
After the leader of the Jinyi Guards entered the palace, they bowed respectfully and politely to the Empress Dowager Sun, and then opened their mouths and said with a smile: "Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong gave you a glass of wine, specially to calm your shock, please drink it. .”
After the fall of Ma Shun, a member of Wang Zhen's party, people in the Jinyi Guards participated in the raids on Wang Zhen's house in order to get rid of their relationship with Ma Shun.
As for the matter of 'gifting wine to the Queen Mother', these Jin Yiwei gritted their teeth and actually came forward on their own initiative, hoping to win a favor in front of the new emperor.
"Emperor Xuanzong?"
After Queen Mother Sun heard the name, she was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of resentment and hatred appeared on her originally despairing face. She went crazy instantly, threw the gold-inlaid jade wine bottle to the ground, and roared hysterically. : "Let Zhu Zhanji come to see me, let Zhu Zhanji come to see me!!!"
The hysterical state shocked the surrounding guards. They did not expect that the mother of a country would act like a shrew before she died. She was really inexperienced. After looking around, there was a small flag quietly He retreated and went to inform his grandson Zhu Zhanji.
The rest of the Jinyi guards were waiting patiently around Cining Palace.
However, after so many years, there was no response for a long time. The leading Jin Yiwei was a little impatient. Just when he was about to forcefully send the poisoned wine to the Empress Dowager Sun to return to the west and complete the task, the Jin Yiwei who went to report the news hurried over sweating profusely. , when Queen Mother Sun was about to be drunk with poisonous wine, she quickly shouted: "Keep my men alive!"
Hearing these words, the people headed by Jin Yiwei were shocked and ordered the maid to stop drinking.
"His Majesty Yongle and His Royal Highness Taisun have spoken!"
The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi was sweating profusely. He finally arrived at Cining Palace and began to announce the Holy Spirit's oral instructions without stopping.
After hearing these words, Queen Mother Sun had some complicated emotions for a moment. She could only lament that Zhu Zhanji still cared about her, and at the same time she felt indignant.
"When I come back, I will definitely kill all of you bastards!"
Unexpectedly, before Empress Dowager Sun could finish feeling happy, she heard the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi saying quietly: "The Holy Master has spoken: Sun's words are frivolous, his etiquette is careless, he pays no attention to the tunes, and his habits are evil, causing trouble to the country, and endangering the country. How can we cooperate with each other?" Inheriting the ancestral sacrifice and representing the Sixth Palace? The queen is hereby abolished. After death, she is buried in the suburbs of the city with the rites of a commoner. She is not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum. He also gives the Sun family three feet of white silk, wipes out the entire Sun family, and is related to the Sun family. Those who have done this will not be allowed to enter officialdom for two generations!”
Yes.
If Empress Dowager Sun hadn't made such a fuss, everyone would have almost forgotten that her position as Empress Dowager had not been abolished and that many members of the Sun family were still alive.
Forget about giving her poisonous wine. After all, Zhu Zhanji had been in love with her for a few days. Therefore, it was better to give Bai Ling to make her die more beautiful.
As for hanging herself or being hanged, it all depends on whether she is strong-willed or not.
If she didn't want to hang herself, someone would naturally help her hang herself.
The Queen Mother Sun, who was still in high spirits, her eyes instantly glazed over after hearing these words, while the Jin Yiwei who carried out the order couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
I thought you were going to make a comeback, but this is the result?
"Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji!"
In her incompetent rage, Empress Dowager Sun also ended her sinful life, but her body remained relatively intact.
The next day, Emperor Taiping ascended the throne in Fengtian Hall, and everything was particularly frugal.
However, this enthronement ceremony will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.
Because throughout the ages, no matter which emperor's enthronement ceremony it is, there will never be a scene where so many emperors watch together.
After going through all the necessary routines for the enthronement ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy. He felt that his child had finally grown up. It was really not easy to see Biao'er become emperor with his own eyes.
And Zhu Di also sighed deeply, feeling that this was the right track for everything.
As for the Hongwu Dynasty, there has been no heir since then?
Do you still need to consider this issue?
Even Zhu Yuanzhang in history was still twenty years away from death, not to mention that after joining the group, the group mall has a large number of items that can change the genetic lifespan.
As long as you have enough points, it is not a problem to live to be 100 or 150 years old. In terms of heirs, you can definitely cultivate another heir.
Even if Zhongdao dies, the Hongwu Dynasty can still be passed on to other members of the group.
After all, they are all descendants of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all sons and sons of the Zhu family. For Zhu Yuanzhang, this would not be a problem: Who should be passed on to the world without the Zhu family?
It is precisely for this reason that although Zhu Yuanzhang is currently very angry about Zhu Di's usurpation of the throne, he is not that angry. On the one hand, it is because Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen are not familiar with each other. On the other hand, the reason is just that this rebellious son violated him. Just feel dissatisfied with the authority.
Zhu Houcong, on the other hand, watched the show like a mascot throughout the whole process, thinking a lot in his mind.
Zhu Youjian, on the other hand, always wanted to find an excuse to chat with Zhu Houcong, but Zhu Houcong was thinking about the next development, so he just kept talking nonsense with Zhu Youjian.
After Zhu Biao's ascension to the throne, Zhu Houcong led the army back to Jiajing Dynasty amid laughter and laughter.
The remaining hidden dangers of the Taiping Dynasty really do not need Zhu Houcong to deal with.
After all, Zhu Biao is not Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian is so stupid that he has to teach him how to chew even when the rice is in his mouth. Zhu Biao is a ruthless person. He will naturally be much better than Zhu Youjian in dealing with these problems. .
With the light flashing in front of Zhu Houcong, he returned to his Jiajing Dynasty.
Sunny day, beautiful scenery.
Zhu Houcong returned to the Yangxin Hall, startling the eunuchs who were cleaning around him. They hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in apology.
"No need to be polite."
Zhu Houcong was in a good mood, his Taoist robes were swaying in the wind, and all the doors of Yangxin Hall were opened, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Where is the thing I ordered before?"
"Your Majesty, the hospital has sorted it out, and all the medicinal materials have been placed in the alchemy room."
Huang Jin, the personal eunuch, hurried over and said respectfully in front of Zhu Houcong: "There are still a lot of medicinal materials in the internal funds, about seven portions."
"Only seven?"
Zhu Houcong couldn't help but sigh. The medicinal materials of Huanglong Dan were indeed rare. Even the emperor's internal funds were only so small.
Huang Jin immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have already ordered all the states and counties in the world to search for medicinal materials."
"When did I get angry?" Zhu Houcong smiled and then said, "Instruct all provinces not to delay the people's farming and daily scheduling. I will select a day to send guards and envoys to inspect. If there is such a situation, at least the black hat will not be protected, at worst Heads on the ground!”
Huang Jin immediately leaned over. Just as he was about to retreat, Zhu Houcong's voice came again: "By the way, have Yan Song and Xia Yan taken office? They announced that they have come to see me, and at the same time ordered the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies to discuss together. A reward for the soldiers of the third battalion on this expedition."
"promise!"
Huang Jin then hurriedly obeyed the order and left.
After Huang Jin left, Zhu Houcong strode to the alchemy room, looked at the herbs, compared the elixir recipe, and said: "Light the fire!"
"yes!"
The two young eunuchs who had been waiting here responded immediately, and then one fanned the air and the other lit a fire, and soon the flames were burning.
As the flames were lit, all Zhu Houcong's energy was concentrated in the alchemy furnace and he began to refine the elixir!
Although he has refined a variety of elixirs before, this is the first time Zhu Houcong has refined this serious immortal elixir.
I hope something can be accomplished.
In an instant, spiritual energy filled the air, and the two little eunuchs responsible for fanning the flames felt strange.
Zhu Houcong held his breath and concentrated, sitting cross-legged on the futon, the spiritual energy was continuously input into the big furnace, the spiritual light flashed, and the spiritual energy was continuous.
When the two eunuchs saw this, they quickly fanned the flames and added fuel to the fire.
After about half an hour, a burst of medicinal fragrance came from the medicine furnace, and the light flickered in the medicine furnace.
Seeing this, Zhu Houcong did not hesitate to follow the method of Danfang and directly ordered the two young eunuchs to stop lighting the fire, and then suddenly summoned more powerful spiritual energy to wrap the entire medicine furnace to preserve the remaining heat.
When the remaining heat was about to dissipate, Zhu Houcong dispersed the spiritual energy and raised his hands again. The two young eunuchs were familiar with the road and lit the fire again.
This went on and on, and after hundreds of breaths, a faint roar of a tiger exploded in the alchemy room.
The stove exploded directly.
"rise!"
Zhu Houcong chuckled lightly and materialized the energy of the explosion. The surrounding heat wave rolled over, and two golden pills emerged from the debris. They were engraved with dragon patterns, and their aura flashed, completely solidify.
"Huh~"
Zhu Houcong breathed a long sigh of relief. The spiritual energy in his body was rapidly recovering, and all three pills flew out and landed in Zhu Houcong's palm.
One of them is crystal clear in color and has a low dragon pattern; there is also one with a slightly blurry dragon pattern and a weaker color.
One grain is ordinary, one grain is inferior.
The rate of pill formation is extremely low.
But this was all within Zhu Houcong's expectation.
After all, he was the inferior choice in terms of the selection of medicinal materials and the alchemy furnace. The only thing worth mentioning was his experience in alchemy. Even so, he could only produce two pills.
Among them, three portions of medicinal materials were spent.
However, Zhu Houcong was not discouraged. After all, this was a world lacking spiritual energy. Cultivation of immortals was to go against the will of heaven. Being able to make two pills was already great news.
"Jinbao, Yinbao, you two did a good job."
Zhu Houcong smiled and looked at the two eunuchs who were fanning the flames. Without any hesitation, he said directly: "I have established a new prison called 'Si Danjian'. The alchemy furnace, pharmacy and medicinal materials, etc., will be under the unified supervision of this place. Jinbao is the young eunuch on the left and the eunuch of Zhangyin, the eunuch of Sidan. Yinbao is the young eunuch on the right and the eunuch of Bingbi, the eunuch of Sidan. I admire this."
These two eunuchs, who were not famous in history and were renamed Jinbao and Yinbao by Zhu Houcong, were overjoyed and even wanted to cry. They immediately covered their faces and knelt in front of Zhu Houcong and thanked him: "Thank you for your majesty's grace, thank you for your saintship." kindness!"
These gold treasures and silver treasures are naturally Zhu Houcong's bad tastes. They mainly correspond to the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King next to Taishang Laojun in "Journey to the West".
However, "Journey to the West" has not yet been written into a book, and some parts of it that satirize Emperor Jiajing are not structured. However, some stories are also circulated among the people. Regarding this, Zhu Houcong did not have time to integrate it, and just allowed it to develop.
After stretching his muscles for a while, Zhu Houcong looked around, then pushed the door open and walked out.
When Huang Jin saw Zhu Houcong pushing the door open, he immediately wanted to go forward and report, but Zhu Houcong said, "I already know."
After that, he headed towards the Nourishing Heart Hall.
…
In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, two figures stood upright and meticulous. Not to mention looking around and scratching their heads, they didn't even move at all.
There was only a "rumbling" sound not far away, which made the two people's eyes slightly surprised for a moment, and then calmed down again.
"Yan Song, Xia Yan."
Zhu Houcong's voice came from a distance, and the two people standing there bowed down at the same time without any hesitation:
"I'll tell Xia Yan from the military department. I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty pays you your respects."
"I, the Imperial Academy of Nanjing, offer wine to Yan Song, kowtow to Your Majesty, and respectfully wish Your Majesty's blessings! It is truly my eternal honor to see Tianyan today!"
The two of them paid homage at the same time, but Xia Yan behaved in a polite manner, while Yan Song was very respectful, to the point where he was beyond the scope of a minister.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Houcong, who had just walked out of the alchemy room, couldn't help but be startled, and then burst into laughter.
What a Yan Song.
Zhu Houcong smiled and nodded, and then said: "Come here, I will give you a perfume leaf crown to your two beloved ladies."
When Huang Jin heard this, he immediately took two crowns woven from agarwood leaves from the palace. They looked quite rustic, like the crowns woven from grass and trees used by children playing in the countryside to play with each other. role play.
According to rumors, Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, loved playing role-playing games when he was a child, using rags as dragon robes and plants and trees to make crowns.
However, Zhu Houcong gave the agarwood leaf crown not for the purpose of cosplaying Zhu Yuanzhang, but because he had many in the palace, so he gave it to the ministers conveniently.
Agarwood leaf crown is very economical.
Other emperors had to reward their ministers with rare treasures and ten thousand taels of gold. Even if the rewards were unfavorable, they would have to keep the ministers in the palace to have a meal. However, Zhu Houcong just gave him a small tiara made of leaves, which was economical and affordable.
Historically, it was precisely because Yan Song kept the agarwood leaf crown in his heart and carried it with him every time he went to court, thus winning the joy of Zhu Houcong in history, and he rose to the top in one step.
Although Zhu Houcong now also gave the agarwood leaf crown, he didn't take it seriously.
Regarding the bureaucrats of the Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Houcong's evaluation was: Counting every one of them, they were all a failure.
Later, when Yan Song was in power, what was the difference between Xu Jie, the leader of the anti-Yan faction, and Yan Song?
Everyone said that Yan Song was a treacherous minister and Xu Jie was an Ming minister.
However, the Xu family occupies an area of 240,000 acres, and his children and slaves do evil. There are piles of papers accusing him of it, and he can later spend 30,000 taels of gold in bribes.
This is even more greedy than Yan Song.
The reason why Yan Song has such a bad reputation is that as the chief minister of the cabinet, according to the camp, he should be the leader of the ministers and must compete with the emperor.
As a result, he, the leader, surrendered directly, and only the emperor obeyed, which made the civil servants very dissatisfied.
In the prosperous times, the civil servants liked to fight with the emperor. The emperor could beat the civil servants to death with a stick, which was within the rules. The civil servants also recognized it, but after Yan Song became the boss of the civil servants, he stood beside the emperor. The behavior on that side naturally aroused the hatred of civil servants.
This is also the reason why Yan Song has become a notorious traitor for thousands of years, while Xu Jie's reputation is not that great.
Of course, Yan Song is also a corrupt official, and there is no way to escape this.
After receiving the reward from Zhu Houcong, Yan Song was overjoyed and quickly bowed down to receive it.
Xia Yan on the side was dumbfounded.
Xia Yan and Yan Song are from the same hometown. They have met a few times before, but they are not very familiar with them.
He didn't know much about Yan Song's personality. Seeing Yan Song be so flattering, he couldn't help but despise Yan Song a lot.
"Xia Qing, I heard that the name of Qin is Gongjin, which is the same as Zhou Yu, the famous general of Soochow."
Zhu Houcong smiled and said: "I wonder if Xia Qing can become Gongjin of our dynasty?"
"I will try my best to become the Zhou Gongjin of my Ming Dynasty!" Xia Yan said immediately and forcefully.
Zhu Houcong said with a smile: "In this case, the commander of Yaowu Camp, Lou Suqian, unfortunately died for the country. There is still a vacancy in Yaowu Camp. Xia Qing can be transferred to Yaowu Camp and take command of any battalion. The next day will be determined. Be a famous general for me."
The military department is all in charge, and he is a seventh-grade civil servant; the commander of the Yaowu camp is a third-grade military general!
This can be said to have promoted Xia Yan to four levels in one go.
However, Xia Yan was not very happy, but he could only thank the Holy Grace.
The reason is naturally simple. Although he is only a seventh-rank officer in the military department, he is the logistics director of the entire military department. He belongs to the rank of official and often hangs around in front of the emperor. It is a position with great potential, compared with some fourth- and fifth-rank officers. The official position is even more important.
The commander of Yaowu Camp... was actually a general. In the Jiajing Dynasty, the status of third-grade generals was not as good as that of fifth-grade civil servants.
This was also done intentionally by Zhu Houcong. Xia Yan had made many strategies before. Although he had never fought in a war, he was familiar with the art of war.
Such a talented person who is familiar with military art can directly give me practical instructions.
My Ming Dynasty does not need to use civility to control military affairs, it only needs civil and military forces to advance simultaneously!
After giving the instructions, Zhu Houcong looked at Yan Song who was very respectful, and then said: "Yan Qing will be transferred from Nanjing Imperial College to Beijing."
Hearing this, Yan Song was overjoyed.
Although Nanjing Imperial College Sacrifice Wine and Beijing Imperial College Sacrifice Wine are on the same level, their statuses are completely different!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Yan Song flattered and thanked you without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I still have a 500-year-old yellow lotus in my hometown. I would like to offer it to your Majesty. May your Majesty enjoy immortal blessings forever and live as long as heaven!"
Why does it sound weird?
Although it felt a bit strange, Zhu Houcong still nodded: "If you are kind, I will give you a hundred taels of gold."
After saying that, Zhu Houcong stood up with his hands behind his hands and issued an order: "Pass the order, I want to go out to patrol Tangshan, Datong, Tianjin and other places. I ordered the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare supplies and mobilize more than 10,000 elite troops to accompany me!"
"Pass this 'Secret Technique of Pregnancy Preservation' to the Taiyuan Hospital, and order it to be spread all over the world immediately, so that every inch of my territory in the Ming Dynasty will use this method when giving birth!"
Zhu Houcong issued the order without hesitation.
His mission rewards and the treasures exchanged in the mall are suitable for use.
