In the alley, there are dozens of tables and chairs, and food and wine are served like water. This is a celebration within Liu Ziguang's system. Officials from other factions in the court will not come to congratulate him now, and will only wait for the young marquis according to custom.
When the moon is full, we go to the house again to drink.
There was a lot of drinking outside, and the baby in the house was eating happily. The Crown Princess personally selected two wet nurses to breastfeed her grandson. They were all carefully selected young and healthy women who had just given birth. Their daily diet was very good.
Be careful, it is crucian carp soup and broth without salt.
The baby was really like his father. He drank all the milk from the two wet nurses and four huge breasts in one meal. He was still crying and still hungry. When Zeng Cheng heard the baby crying, he quickly asked the maid to hold him over and wanted to give it to him personally.
She was breastfeeding, but her milk had not come down yet. The child sucked for a long time without sucking anything, so she started howling again.
"This baby is so edible, we need to find several wet nurses." Zeng Cheng said with a worried look on his face. Good wet nurses are not easy to find, especially those who have just given birth to a baby and are still breastfeeding.
He couldn't even get the money, so no wonder Zeng Cheng was worried.
Everyone who was drinking outside couldn't help laughing when they heard the shrill cry of the young marquis. One person said: "Young Marshal's cry is like a rainbow. It is shocking. I think it is better to just call it shocking."
"Liu Zhencheng? It sounds unpleasant. It's inappropriate." Someone immediately objected: "We should do the opposite and give him a quieter name. It's better to call him Jing Guan'er."
"That's even more nonsense. How can my son have such a vulgar name?" Liu Ziguang laughed and cursed. As he was talking and laughing, he suddenly saw a palace maid behind him. She said timidly: "Master Hou, the young master is making trouble because he hasn't eaten enough."
Well, the princess asks you to think of ways to hire more wet nurses."
"This boy is so good at eating!" Liu Ziguang couldn't help but be astonished. He waved his hand to ask the palace maids to step aside and asked everyone: "This boy really follows me and has a big appetite. If you have a suitable wet nurse, you might as well introduce him to him and he will be treated well."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, my wife just gave birth to a baby girl. She has a lot of milk. I eat the extra milk every day. I might as well let her feed our young marshal." said an old red-shirted officer.
.
"My child has just been weaned, and my wife hasn't pinched the breast yet. The Shandong lady has enough milk. Now let her come and feed the young marshal." Another officer said, these people don't follow family planning when they give birth to children.
Then one after another, there happened to be a wave of little red shirt members being born recently, and there were many women who could breastfeed.
"Thank you very much for that. Come on, come on, let me toast you." After quickly solving the problem, Liu Ziguang was very satisfied and raised his big bowl to greet everyone.
After finishing the bowl of wine, the two officers flew home to fetch their wife and children together. The little Marquis had another meal of milk before he was barely full, and he fell asleep with a groan. He fell asleep like a normal person.
, Zeng Chengke was worried. This was not the way to go. Two professional wet nurses and two amateur wet nurses worked together to feed their son. What will happen next? You can't eat other people's milk every day, or make some rice soup or something.
It is more economical to deal with.
This kind of worry is unnecessary. How can the dignified young prince be hungry? The next day, Liu Ziguang posted a list to hire wet nurses. The first batch of ten people will be recruited. The requirements are very strict. They must be between twenty and thirty years old and in good health.
, those who have given birth to more than three children are not required, and those who are the first child are not required. The monthly remuneration for those selected is sixty taels of silver, which is equivalent to half a year's salary of a low-level official in the yamen, and they also take care of food, housing, and childcare, Liu Ziguang
The way he thinks about it is that wet nurses usually have just given birth. If the mother and child are forcibly separated, the pregnant woman will definitely be in a bad mood, which will affect the quality of the milk and thus the son's health, so he would rather hire more wet nurses.
Win with quantity, ten wet nurses are not enough for your little bastard.
Liu Ziguang was inspecting the quality of the wet nurse in the alley. Of course, he was not inspecting it personally. It would be better for an experienced palace lady to do this kind of thing. Suddenly he heard the noise of carriages and horses. It turned out that the emperor had arrived, dressed in civilian clothes to visit.
The emperor came in person. Liu Ziguang quickly asked the wet nurses to avoid it and rushed to greet the grand arrival. It was not convenient for the emperor to come into the house to visit the princess during her confinement. He just asked Liu Ziguang to take the baby out and have a look. The emperor was busy with official duties and did not delay much. He teased the baby for a while.
The nephew said goodbye and left. After Liu Ziguang came back from seeing off the emperor, he asked a guard next to him: "Long live a few strange faces with you today. Who are they?"
Although Marquis Zhenwu is the minister in charge of the bodyguards, he has not been responsible for specific affairs for a long time, so he does not know much about the situation in the palace. The bodyguard replied: "Those people are not bodyguards or eunuchs. I heard that they were invited by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to specially look at them."
Appearance."
Well, the emperor is going to give my son a fortune teller, but why is the fortune teller unclear? Liu Ziguang was a little confused. At this time, a guard came up and said: "Master Marquis, I have something to report to you because of my humble position."
This man was a direct descendant of Liu Ziguang. He was from the Red Shirt Regiment. He was assigned to serve as the commander of the guards in Yangxin Hall. He was Liu Ziguang's eyes and ears around the emperor. He happened to be on duty and came over to support the commander-in-chief.
When the two came to the dark place, the guard repeated what Wei Zhongxian had said to the emperor yesterday. Liu Ziguang was so shocked that he broke into cold sweat. He punched the wall with hatred, and immediately made a hole: "How dare you hurt me, a gelded dog!"
"
So the fortune tellers brought by the emperor just now are here to further determine whether his son has the appearance of an emperor. There is no need to ask whether these people have been bribed by Wei Zhongxian. They will definitely say that his son is born with different appearances and has the talents of dragon and phoenix.
, isn’t this obviously harmful to people! Liu Ziguang was so evil that he wanted to go into the palace and kill Wei Zhongxian, but he thought of Zeng Cheng who was in confinement and his newly born son, so he couldn’t bring himself to do this cruelty. After all, killing Wei Zhongxian now is enough.
It was tantamount to publicly falling out with the emperor, and he was unable to bear such a result.
In the Yangxin Hall, several physiognomist gentlemen invited by the people had finished expressing their opinions and were timidly waiting for the emperor to speak. Zhu Youxiao was in a very uneasy mood, but still tried to act calm and did not say anything.
He waved his hands and asked a few people to walk away to receive the reward. Several charlatans received the reward and went away with great thanks. Under the guidance of a young eunuch, they walked to a remote corner of the palace, and suddenly several people jumped from the palace wall.
The samurai killed the fortune tellers neatly, then put the bodies into sacks and quickly disappeared. The little eunuch who led the way sneered and waved the dust as if to drive away the smell of blood in the air.
He also left quietly.
Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, and Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to say anything. He just whispered: "Long live Lord, everything has been cleaned up." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "From now on, only you know about this matter, absolutely not allowed."
Rumor has it that if the news leaks out, you will end up in the same fate!" Wei Zhongxian got excited and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I don't dare." Zhu Youxiao said: "I'm sorry you don't dare either, go down and do some errands, I want to be clean."
Wei Zhongxian withdrew in awe, and returned to his place to review documents. All the papers were reviewed by Wei Zhongxian before Zhu Youxiao reviewed them. This young eunuch could read and write, and more importantly, he had strong judgment.
, he clearly prioritized the important information and presented it to the emperor in front of him, the less important ones were postponed, and the not important ones were directly approved and sent back.
After returning to his seat, Wei Zhongxian calmed down his emotions, suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked the little eunuch below to help him make a pot of good tea from the south of the Yangtze River. Looking at the white smoke rising in the tea cup, his
The corners of his mouth still couldn't help but smile lines appeared. It was such a coincidence that Liu Ziguang's son was so good in horoscopes that he could be the emperor. This was not what Wei Zhongxian's briber said. The old bones in Qintian Prison also said so.
He will not accept bribes from him. Of course, the following folk fortune tellers who died unjustly were deliberately arranged by him. In this way, even if the emperor trusted Liu Ziguang, there would inevitably be cracks. Even if Liu Ziguang did not rebel, it would not represent
His son will not rebel in the future. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty's eternal foundation, this tendency must be nipped in his infancy. Hum, Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang, you probably don't know that you are about to die.
He was in a happy mood and approved the papers very quickly. He finished them in just three strokes. He picked up the last fold submitted by the Lifan Academy and looked at it twice. Wei Zhongxian's smile lines suddenly disappeared. He wiped his eyes and looked at it carefully again.
, he really couldn’t believe his eyes, it was clearly written on it that His Royal Highness Alabama, the vassal king of Temasek Macedara Kingdom in Southeast Asia, requested to abdicate the throne to Marquis Zhenwu of the Ming Dynasty!
What do you mean? If you want to abdicate the throne, you are just a bastard little foreign king. Just sit at home and be your prince. No matter how hard you abdicate, you can abdicate if you insist. For example, you can abdicate to the throne.
Our family is very good, but among the thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, you couldn't choose any one, but you chose Liu Ziguang. Isn't this just giving him a throne for free? This is great, Liu Ziguang became the king, he
The son is the crown prince, and will naturally be the king in the future. The vassal king of the Ming Dynasty is an upright vassal, and there is no adulteration at all. What is this? If the emperor knows about it, he will untie the knot immediately. From now on
If you continue to reuse Zhenwuhou, you will be happy just now in vain!
Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he swept all the folds on the table to the ground. The little eunuch on duty next to him didn't know why Wei Eunuch Gongyin was angry. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground. It happened that the glazed lamp on the table was also swept to the ground, and it was in the lamp holder.
The candle was thrown out, and the wax dripped on the fold. When the little eunuch saw it, he pointed at the fold in a panic and said, "Eunuch Wei, it's burned."
Wei Zhongxian took a look and was about to ask the little eunuch to put out the fire, but then he thought it would be better to do this... He waited with a straight face until the few folds were ignited by candles and burned to ashes. Then he said to the little eunuch:
"How does our family treat you on weekdays?"
The young eunuch said: "Eunuch Wei treats me very kindly. I will be grateful for my kindness."
"Well, you can bear the responsibility of accidentally burning the memorial. Don't worry, our family will take care of it." Wei Zhongxian said calmly.
