Yichun Hall.
The cry is long and mournful.
After more than an hour, the voices gradually subsided, and Emperor Tianshun's voice came out from the curtain.
"Help me change my clothes."
Xiao Wuzi, who was the personal attendant, opened the curtain and helped Emperor Tianshun put on his dragon robe with several other chamberlains. Another chamberlain handed him warm Pei Yuan soup.
There were about a dozen women lying on the dragon bed, the lingering lingering lingering feeling lingering.
Emperor Tianshun's face turned yellow and dull, and his eyes were gray. He took the Peiyuan soup and drank it up. Wisps of heat flowed through his meridians, replenishing his blood.
After regaining his energy for a while, Emperor Tianshun waved his hand.
"Send it to the conservatory, where it will be well served."
The chamberlain on duty outside the palace immediately walked in after hearing the order. The two of them skillfully wrapped up the woman on the bed and carried her away under a brocade quilt.
"I want to go out for a walk."
Emperor Tianshun was supported by his chamberlain and sat down in the pavilion outside the palace.
It was late autumn, the wind was cold and the dew was heavy.
A full moon sheds silver light, making the palace look increasingly cold.
Xiao Wuzi took a fox fur mask, put it on Emperor Tianshun, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please rest early."
"How can I sleep?"
Emperor Tianshun sighed and said: "People know that there are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having children. If I have no children, the country will be in turmoil, and I will not be able to see my ancestors in the future!"
When King Pingxi rebelled, Emperor Tianshun managed to escape the pursuit of the Sanyang Sect, but his two sons died unexpectedly.
After ascending the throne, Emperor Tianshun worked day and night, but no one in the harem was pregnant.
The imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital took turns diagnosing Emperor Tianshun, but did not find any patients. They could only prescribe various warming and tonic prescriptions, but to no avail.
Now Tianshun Emperor began to doubt whether he was punished by heaven for killing his mother and brother to seize the throne, as the folk rumors said.
The real empress dowager is hiding in XZ, while the fake empress dowager has been buried with the orthodox emperor. The inscription is filled with the love between the couple and they have become a model for couples in the world.
Perhaps hundreds of years from now, someone will still write poems praising it.
Hearing this, the servants on the left and right hurriedly comforted him and coaxed him with all kinds of auspicious words, which were more caring than serving his own father.
"Your Majesty is the master of ZTE. It's too late for you, the late emperors, to be happy."
"Yesterday I heard that General Xie won the battle and expanded the southern territory thousands of miles. This is all due to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is so powerful and powerful, which is beyond the reach of human beings. It must be those women who are not good enough. I will go outside the palace to buy more."
"The Taoist sage Qi Xiazi made Zhang at seventy, and Taizu made tiles at sixty. He is still young..."
Everyone knows that Emperor Tianshun doted on his servants, and when he was pleased, he accepted him as his steward, and even gave him the surname Zhao, turning him into a relative of the emperor.
Only Xiao Wuzi's eyes flickered and he lowered his head and said nothing.
There is indeed nothing wrong with Emperor Tianshun's health. After all, there are many masters of traditional Chinese medicine in the imperial hospital, but the ancestors secretly used Yin evil and cold energy to kill the dragon spirit.
The ghosts control the Yin Qi of heaven and earth, which ordinary people cannot detect. Only martial arts masters who refine the innate Qi can sense it.
Originally, the Chamberlain was practicing the Epiphyllum Book of Epiphyllum, and there were innate masters throughout the generations. This coincided with the successive turmoils in the country, creating the current situation of insecurity.
A few days ago, Xiao Wuzi presented the antiques of the previous dynasty and succeeded in becoming his godfather to the governor of the capital Wang Gonggong. He was transferred to the Yichun Palace to serve Emperor Tianshun in his daily life.
When the time came, Xiao Wuzi helped Emperor Tianshun to bring about his fortune and restored the country using the method of Li Dai Tao Jian.
The chamberlain's continuous flattery made Emperor Tianshun's face light up and he promised: "You are all my right-hand men. Who can help me have an heir who can work for the Supervision Department!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
All the servants kowtowed and thanked him, with surprise and a bit of fear.
Who doesn't know the methods of Governor Zhou of Dongchang and dares to go to the Supervision Department to point fingers? His Majesty will not pursue it even if he is dead.
Xiao Wuzi's mind was racing, he tapped the jade pendant sewn on his sleeve, and soon received a response from his ancestor.
"Your Majesty, this slave has an immature idea."
"tell me the story."
Emperor Tianshun had a good impression of Xiao Wuzi. He was hard-working and talkative. His martial arts talent was also excellent and he might be able to be reused in the future.
Xiao Wuzi said: "Eunuch Yu just mentioned that these women are not good at giving birth. Can we find some women from outside the palace who are good at giving birth? Maybe we can extend the heirs."
Eunuch Yu heard that it made sense, and secretly hated himself for not thinking of it, so he said immediately.
"Those women have lost their virginity a long time ago. How can they be qualified to serve His Majesty? It is against the rules of the palace!"
The idea is a good idea, but if you don't propose it yourself, you have to oppose it.
The chamberlain on the side retorted: "What Eunuch Yu said is wrong. There are concubines from the previous dynasty in Taizu's harem, and there are many who have children. Could it be that Taizu is not following the rules!"
Regardless of whether you have it or not, let’s put a big hat on it first!
"you……"
Eunuch Yu was choked and speechless, and he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, our family is loyal, and we can learn from the sun and the moon."
"I know you are loyal."
Emperor Tianshun smiled and watched the fight among several servants. If the servants didn't fight among themselves, they would join forces to fight against the master. He patted Eunuch Yu on the shoulder and said.
"Go find some women who are easy to have children, and remember to be careful."
"My slave takes orders."
Eunuch Yu understands the meaning of his words. This matter will harm His Majesty's reputation and must be done in private. Even if a woman gives birth to a dragon in the future, she will lie to the outside world that she is born to a certain concubine.
Xiao Wuzi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, without any displeasure on his face.
It would be better for my father-in-law to do things better. If the woman gets pregnant in the future, there will be no doubt about him.
Emperor Tianshun was always observing the servants on the left and right. Even when he was working on the dragon bed, he would pay attention to the expressions and movements of the servants. When he caught a glimpse of Xiao Wuzi with an indifferent expression, he was very satisfied in his heart.
"Don't rely on merit or resentment. He is a good seedling worth cultivating!"
…
Tianshun three years.
There is no rain or shine.
The court is in a strange and harmonious balance.
Tang Mingyuan worked hard to reform, from politics to the military, from the economy to currency, and his many fantastic ideas amazed all the officials.
Foreign soldiers relied on firearms to sweep across the northwest and southern borders, and Daqing's territory expanded again.
The East Factory, the West Factory, and the Internal Affairs Bureau fight against each other, and jointly supervise Kyoto and local officials. The administration of officials cannot be said to be clean, but at least they are doing their jobs.
The scholar's dream is to rule by hanging the arch, that's it.
Still water flows deep, but light does not shine.
Anyone with knowledge can feel the inexplicable pressure, silently restrain their hands and feet, and wait for the drastic changes in the court.
…
Tianshun four years.
spring.
The main hall of the East Factory.
The four words "Mingjing hangs high" hang on the forehead, and there is a portrait of Duke Zhou on the inner wall, with an inscription by Emperor Tianshun himself.
Famous for generations.
Zhou Yi sat under his own portrait, eyes slightly narrowed, listening to the old eunuch's report.
"Godfather, I failed again."
Xiao Pingzi knelt down and said: "After our family received the news, we immediately led people to surround Lingyun Temple. As a result, the leader of Sanyang and the saint had already escaped."
Bang!
Zhou Yi crushed the tea cup and said coldly: "Who leaked the news?"
"The eunuch in charge of punishment, Eunuch Liu."
Xiao Pingzi said: "Our family has arrested nine members of the Liu family, one hundred and seventy-two men, women, old and children. We are just waiting for the godfather's order to arrest them."
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
Zhou Yi knocked on the coffee table, looking at the setting sun outside, thinking about who dared to secretly go against Dongchang.
At this time.
An old eunuch hurried in, rescued Xiao Pingzi, and reported in a panic.
"Duke Gong, your Majesty has accepted another son. Xiao Wuzi is waiting for you at Yichun Palace. It is said that Xiao Wuzi came up with an idea and searched for a good childbearing woman among the people. Sure enough, she is pregnant!"
Dongchang spies are all over the world, and the palace is also under surveillance.
Emperor Tianshun's so-called private actions were hidden from ordinary officials. In Zhou Yi's eyes, there was no secret at all.
Zhou Yi asked: "Eunuch Wu is responsible for walking in the East Factory?"
"Exactly."
The old eunuch scratched his neck and said coldly: "Duke, do you want someone to send Xiao Wuzi away before he is officially appointed?"
"Chaotang, Sanyang Sect, Your Majesty, Jiuchang Attendant..."
Zhou Yi vaguely understood, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Pingzi, do you think His Majesty really wants to rule from the ground up?"
"My child... I don't know."
Xiao Pingzi was sweating all of a sudden. How could he dare to answer this question? If he said it right or wrong, he would end up dead in the end.
"If it were our family, I would definitely not want to."
Zhou Yi took the tea brought by Qian'er, sipped it gently and said: "It doesn't matter if your own world is cured or broken, the important thing is that you have the power in your hands."
"No matter how good others do, they can't compare to what you do badly!"
