For Zhu Biao, neither the royal family nor the nobles headed by Li Renzong or the remnants of Xin Min who are currently sheltering Yao Guangxiao are trustworthy. They each have their own interests and demands, but they all probably do not want the Ming Dynasty to take over Korea. of.
Because the Ming Dynasty is too large, once they move into Goryeo, except for a very small number of low-level people who need external force to break the deadlock, most aristocratic officials will lose their inherent aloof status. The more decadent they are, the more stubborn they will be.
Zhu Biao was wandering outside with his teacup in hand, while the others didn't have so many things to think about. They were all excited about their trip in the next few days, whispering to each other about what to wear when going out, and it was so lively.
The Crown Princess, who was also on top, did not participate in the discussion. She had known about this matter for a long time, so she naturally did not need to express her excitement deliberately, but looked at Wang Rui with a somewhat thoughtful look.
Like his mother-in-law, Chang Luohua did not have strict restraints on the concubines below. Of course, she was not very close to them. She just handled matters in the East Palace with a fair attitude. Every merit must be rewarded and every fault must be punished. What should be done is what it is. , no one is allowed to go beyond the rules.
In fact, this is also a kind of arrogance, not bothering to put down one's body to fight with concubines, and not even bothering to show favor to win over anyone, even if one of them is as noble as Li Yan and Wang Rui, as beautiful as Qinglian, and as profound as warm jade cloud brocade.
It took two cups of tea for Dr. Zhang to arrive. He was calm and calm, but the little eunuch beside him was about to cry. He wanted to say that he had urged the doctor, but he was not in a hurry, otherwise he would have come back long ago. .
Imperial Physician Zhang, on the other hand, has a clear mind. There are many famous doctors in the Imperial Hospital, but as the saying goes, each physician specializes in different diseases. Although he also has countermeasures for typhoid and miscellaneous diseases, he is the most outstanding one. It’s also about diagnosing the pulse and protecting the fetus and health.
Since the prince specially invited him by name, the meaning is self-evident, so it is still very important to maintain your grace. It is not decent to come out of breath to diagnose the nobleman's pulse.
After taking the prince's pulse as usual, Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Highness's good health is really a blessing to our Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao retracted his hand and said with a smile: "It's also thanks to the dietary supplements given by the imperial doctors. Now that the imperial doctor Zhang is here, I'd rather trouble you to wait for the princess to take a look."
"It's just my duty as a humble minister. I'm going to ask for the pulse of all of you nobles."
The first one was of course Chang Luohua. After putting a silk handkerchief on it, he began to diagnose the pulse. After all, it was only a few months after giving birth, and the pulse was still weak and needed to be warmed up. After a few respectful instructions from the imperial doctor, it was Li Yan's turn.
Li Yan probably guessed something, and was waiting for the results with great expectation. Unfortunately, she was in good health, but there was nothing else, and then there was Wang Rui.
The result was as expected. It took Taiyi Zhang a while to make the decision, and then he stood up with a face of joy to congratulate the prince and the princess. The blood of the Tian family continues to be a blessing to the clan.
Zhu Biao laughed happily and said: "Okay, come on, hurry up and congratulate the Holy Queen."
Chang Luohua nodded and said: "Wang's meritorious service is to take two pieces of Baogenshen from the warehouse to prevent the fetus. Later, I have to ask Dr. Zhang to prescribe a prescription to protect the fetus."
"Thank you, my concubine..."
The rest of the people also congratulated the crown prince and princess immediately, and then congratulated Wang Rui. Although they didn't know what everyone was thinking in their hearts, they all looked peaceful on their faces.
There was no need for Zhu Biao to interfere with the rest of the matter. Chang Luohua arranged everything in an orderly manner. However, if this happy event was expected, then it was an unexpected surprise that Dr. Zhang diagnosed Nuan Yu as having a baby as well.
Nuan Yu, who was still confused, was pushed out to express her gratitude. Chang Luohua ordered people to take out the precious ginseng from the warehouse for fetal support and health as usual, but there was only one, which was less than Wang Rui. After all, the status was different.
When double happiness comes, it is natural to spread the wedding money. Chang Luohua generously rewarded the slaves in the East Palace, especially Wang Rui and Nuan Yu's personal slaves, asking them to serve them wholeheartedly, and there will be rewards when the emperor's grandson is born smoothly.
It is estimated that rewards will be sent from Kunning Palace tomorrow, but not from the emperor. After all, they are just concubines. It doesn't matter whether they are men or women. Lao Zhu has to take into account the honor of his direct grandson.
After more than half an hour of excitement, everyone left and went back to their respective palaces. The East Palace rarely gathered together to eat together. The reason was simple: Zhu Biao didn't like it.
After the others had retired, Zhu Biao stood up lazily and walked to the couch in the inner hall to lie down. Chang Luohua sat in front of the mirror and the palace maid took off the hairpin from his head: "Your Highness should go to the Wang family tonight to comfort him. Got a body."
"Okay, I'll go in a while. It's been a long day, so let me take a rest."
In fact, Zhu Biao didn't really want to face Wang Rui. That woman was too aloof and always looked respectful. It was better to say that she was a princess of Goryeo than a slave who had polished off all the edges in the palace.
Although it makes people feel pity, it is a bit boring to look like this. Now no one in this huge East Palace dares to bully the majestic Crown Prince Liangdi, and the queen and princess are all gentle and gentle. Why bother to show off like this again?
However, Zhu Biao's mentality was still very upright. Since he was welcomed here for political reasons, the glory and wealth that should be given should naturally be given. After all, in a sense, someone's dowry is a kingdom.
Zhu Biao will not bully her because of his own preferences. If Wang Rui really wants to be pure and comfortable after this child, that's fine. It's not that the East Palace cannot afford to support an idle person.
Zhu Biao lay on the couch and narrowed his eyes. After a while, the familiar body fragrance came to him. He grabbed his wife and held him in his arms: "Yang'er Liang'er was brought back to Kunning Palace by his father. The wet nurses are also following, so don’t worry.”
Chang Luohua looked at her husband's chin and said, "When you tell me that the day lilies are cold, my mother will send someone over to say hello in the afternoon."
Zhu Biao was noncommittal, and Chang Luohua continued: "Nuan Yu gave me less, but according to the regulations, there is only so much. You can go over and reward some tomorrow."
Zhu Biao knew what she meant and replied: "You are right, just do whatever you want. If Fengyi's treatment is higher than that of Liangdi, then the rules will be messed up."
………………
The couple talked privately for a while, and then Zhu Biao got up and went to Wang Rui's side. Now they still live in the small hall, and they will have their own courtyards when the east palace is expanded.
In the Wang Rui Hall, several palace ladies who came from Goryeo as dowry were excitedly arranging Buddhist prayer tablets. Of course they were very small pieces, probably just for peace of mind. Goryeo continued the Silla style of worshiping Buddhism. Taizu Wang Jian He relied on Buddhism to create the foundation of the country. Before his death, he once said, "The great cause of our country must be protected by the Buddhas."
Later, during the period when warriors ruled the country, military officials killed civil servants wantonly, which led to a decline in Confucianism and everyone's self-esteem. Many civil servants converted to Buddhism to express their illusions and seek spiritual comfort.
This led to everyone in Korea believing in Buddhism. Zhu Biao stood behind with Wang Rui with his hands clasped behind his back, watching several Korean slaves shaking their heads and worshiping the Buddha amulets, but what he was thinking about was how to deal with Korean Buddhism.
Belief is a very troublesome thing. If it is not solved properly, it will easily lead to trouble, and it is extremely difficult to solve it completely. After all, religious believers are basically people who have given up this life and seek the next life. In their view, killing them may still be helping them.
"Aren't you going to go up and worship? Or don't you believe it?"
Wang Rui said calmly: "I worshiped him for five years when I was young, but I didn't get any salvation. If the Buddha does not save people who are not destined, it is useless to worship him again."
"I heard that there are many temples in Korea, and every Buddha's birthday is a grand event?"
"I have only heard about it and have never seen it with my own eyes."
"The Ming Dynasty is better than the Goryeo Dynasty."
"The East Palace is much better than the Royal Palace. I am grateful for the kindness of Your Highness and the Crown Princess."
"That's good. Let's write a family letter to the Queen Mother tomorrow. Happy events must be known to the elders."
"promise."
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao washed and changed clothes, had breakfast, and then went to the morning court. As usual, there were just a few more well-informed officials congratulating him.
After entering the court to worship, various ministries took turns to report. First, Zhongshu Province reported that there was a fire in Xianyou County, Xinghua Prefecture. There were more than a hundred casualties and countless houses were burned down. Even the county government offices were burned down. They asked surrounding prefectures and counties to help resettle the county residents.
The Ministry of War reported to Ai Cui, the Xuanwei envoy of Guizhou Province, that there were tribesmen living in Long who had joined the army and were in danger, resisting the government and begging to eliminate them.
The Ministry of Rites reported that the grandson of Zhu Xinglong, king of Nanchang, was already old. According to the etiquette system, the court should grant him a gold book and gold treasure to allow him to ascend the throne and join the feudal vassal, so as to secure the border and guard the royal family.
