Emperor Chengwu returned to the palace and immediately told Queen Rong the news. Xiaoqi was pregnant, and Emperor Chengwu was extremely happy that he was about to become a grandfather.
Zhu Tianjiang seemed to have grasped this weakness of Emperor Cheng Wu. In this era, no matter what the reason for the sword war, the purpose was only to better protect the people and allow the nation to thrive. Therefore, Producing offspring is a very important event in every family, and the same is true for the royal family.
When the Dafeng royal family reached the generation of Emperor Chengwu, he and Prince Jing were the only public direct descendants. Moreover, Prince Jing only had one daughter, and Emperor Chengwu had lost two of his four sons. The royal bloodline was withering day by day. Although Xiao Qi left the cabinet. daughter, but Xiaoqi’s children can also be considered to have the authentic bloodline of the royal family.
There was great joy in the palace. After learning about it, all the concubines came to congratulate Queen Rong one after another.
In Qian Palace, Emperor Chengwu became worried. Xiaoqi became pregnant, which suddenly disrupted his negotiation plan with Zhu Tianjiang. Now that the matter has come to this, Emperor Chengwu can no longer remain reserved. It seems that Zhao An will Things can only be done by lowering the conditions.
After the morning court the next day, Emperor Chengwu kept Prince Jing and several important ministers behind. Xiaoqi was the princess who eloped with Zhu Tianjiang. Even if the recruitment was successful, Emperor Chengwu had to find a suitable excuse for his daughter to correct her status. .
Emperor Chengwu did not hide anything and told several old ministers that Xiao Qi was pregnant. According to royal rules, daughters of the royal family were not allowed to marry the same husband. Emperor Chengwu also had to listen to the opinions of his ministers. Especially the old master Wang Bingkun. With such stubbornness, Emperor Chengwu was afraid that he would disagree and incite the ministers to cause trouble.
What happened was a bit beyond Emperor Chengwu's expectations, and several important ministers, including Wang Bingkun, did not object. They even felt that Zhu Tianjiang had a dual relationship with Prince Jing and Emperor Chengwu, and would be able to serve Dafeng more loyally.
Emperor Chengwu was very satisfied with the actions of several veteran ministers. As long as these few people did not object, no one in the court would stand up and speak out.
However, Wang Bingkun still put forward a different view, "Your Majesty, I think that since the Seventh Princess is married to Zhu Tianjiang, she should gain her reputation and status for the Seventh Princess."
"Oh? Old Aiqing, do you mean to let Zhu Tianjiang hold a grand wedding again?" Emperor Chengwu said in his heart that I kept you all just for this reason. Your old lady took the initiative to propose it, but it was better than him. It's better to say it.
"Your Majesty, not only do you want to have a grand wedding, but you also want to treat each other as a royal family. As the seventh princess is the daughter of the emperor, how can other women be treated as equals?" Wang Bingkun said seriously.
When Emperor Chengwu heard this, his hands trembled with excitement. After all these years, this old guy finally said something that made him happy.
Emperor Chengwu was happy, but Prince Jing was so angry that his face turned black. Prince Jing slammed the whip on the ground and said, "Old Master, my Yu'er came in first, and she is of royal blood. If you want to establish a royal family, it is very important." My Yu'er belongs to me."
Emperor Chengwu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, your daughter is a princess, why should she be compared to a princess?
The old master disagreed and shook his head and said, "Prince Jing is a thousand years old. Although your Yu'er and the Seventh Princess are both daughters of the royal family, I also admit that your Yu'er entered the house first. However, in our Dafeng Dynasty, who came first since ancient times? Who is the right person regarding pregnancy and childbirth? The seventh princess died late and got pregnant first. It seems that this is God’s will. Therefore, I think the seventh princess should be the right one."
Prince Jing pointed at Wang Bingkun with shaking hands angrily, "Listen to me~ Listen to what he said. Brother Emperor, last time you told me that Taifu Wang was old and could go home to take care of himself, brother.
I very much agree with your statement.”
If it had been anyone else, Prince Jing would have whipped him. But Wang Bingkun was so old, Prince Jing was afraid of causing trouble.
Chengwu Huangle's teeth were almost broken, and he looked at Wang Bingkun with pleasure. This old guy had never looked so pleasant to him today.
"Prince Jing, I mean that Mr. Wang is old and can work less. However, there are still some issues that cannot be separated from the old man. For example, in this matter, I think the old master said it very well.
My dear friends, do you think so?"
Emperor Chengwu gloated at King Jing's misfortune and threw the question to six important ministers. As long as these people agreed, Emperor Chengwu could write and be canonized.
Li Hong and others looked at each other. They had a good relationship with Prince Jing, so of course they would not attack Prince Jing. But if the emperor asked, he could not say otherwise.
Li Hong took two steps forward, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something. It seems that the Ministry of War has an important memorial to be delivered. I was confused and did not bring it over. Your Majesty, please wait for a moment. I will go back and get it."
When Li Hong saw something was wrong, he quickly found an excuse to run away.
Pan Zigang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, looked at it, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, my mother is seriously ill at home. I must go back and take care of her as soon as possible."
"Pan Aiqing, hasn't your mother been gone for several years? Why is there another old mother?"
Emperor Chengwu looked at Pan Zigang angrily and said in his heart that your mother died earlier than mine, and you can't even make up lies.
"Uh, yes, I'm my old mother-in-law." Pan Zigang was so anxious that everyone started talking nonsense.
"Hmph!" Emperor Chengwu snorted angrily, "No need to make excuses, you all can go down, go back and discuss it carefully, and come up with a unanimous opinion for me."
"Brother Imperial, there is no need to discuss it. I think whoever enters the door first is the right one." Prince Jing said reluctantly.
"Li Jing, then I have to say whoever gave birth first is the right one?" Emperor Chengwu glared at King Jing majestically, saying in his heart that if I don't beat you, you will go to heaven.
"Brother Imperial, if you say that, then my Yu'er and your Xiaoqi will have to be side wives, and that girl Tianqing is about to give birth." Prince Jing curled his lips and looked at him with an angry look.
As the Emperor of Wu, I thought that from all aspects, your Xiaoqi must be at the back.
Emperor Chengwu's heart ached after being choked by Prince Jing's words. If there was no one in the palace, the two brothers would have to fight.
Wang Bingkun glanced at Prince Jing, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that Princess Dafeng is different from ordinary ministers and must be the main wife. If Your Majesty insists on finding a reason, then~then whoever enters the family later will be the one."
just."
"Accurate!"
When Emperor Chengwu heard this, he said to himself that God had really opened his eyes and actually made Wang Bingkun's brain come alive. Although this old guy has always been disliked by others, I am very pleased with his nonsense today.
"Wang Bingkun~You old thief~I~I will strangle you to death~!"
"Ah~Prince Jing~!"
"My lord, please calm down. This matter is easy to discuss~ This matter is easy to discuss~!"
When Feng Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, and others saw that King Jing was really angry, they hurried forward to stop him. Feng Jing and others were also surprised. Wang Bingkun was not such an easy person to adapt to. What happened today?
Emperor Chengwu dismissed everyone and left Prince Jing alone. Feng Jing and other veterans quickly helped Wang Bingkun out of the Palace of Heaven, saying in his heart that if you two brothers fight, you won't care about our affairs.
"Sir, there is something I don't understand. You are not specifically targeting Prince Jing today, are you?" Feng Jing asked carefully.
Wang Bingkun snorted coldly, "Huh! Of course it's aimed at that stupid Prince Jing."
Sun Zhi, the Minister of Rites, gave a wry smile and said, "Sir, why are you meddling in the affairs between the royal brothers?"
"Huh, in the past, I knelt down to remonstrate with you, but that bastard of Prince Jing forced me away. Every time, I was so angry that I had a stomachache. I, Wang Bingkun, have not been able to walk in the court for a few days. I didn’t expect that I could live to take revenge~ It’s so happy~ It’s so happy~ Hahahaha~!” The old lady Wang Bingkun waved his hands and walked towards the palace gate with a big smile.
Feng Jing, Sun Zhi and others looked at him with big eyes and small eyes, "Good guy, this old man always remembers this grudge."
Emperor Chengwu left Prince Jing behind, and the two brothers refused to give in to the other for the sake of their family's reputation. Although Emperor Chengwu was the emperor of Dafeng, Prince Jing held the king's whip and was the royal minister. The two refused to give in to each other, but fortunately they did not fight. In the end, the two brothers decided to resolve the recruitment matter first. After Zhu Tianjiang returned to Beijing, Zhu Tianjiang would make the decision on the spot.
Emperor Chengwu immediately wrote an edict in his own handwriting, lowering the conditions for recruitment by one step, but requiring Zhu Tianjiang to hand over his military power.
Eight hundred miles hastened, and the whip was quickly delivered to the small town of Yujiaping. After reading it, Zhu Daguan threw the Chengwu Emperor's manuscript into the brazier with disdain. He did not lie. Seventh Princess Yue Xin did have a Renchen reaction.
Zhu Tianjiang was not in a hurry, and it took five or six days before he replied to Emperor Chengwu with a letter. Emperor Chengwu could expedite it for 800 miles, but this time Zhu Daguan ordered someone to deliver it to the capital unhurriedly. .By the time Emperor Chengwu received the second letter, it was already more than a month since the first letter.
Xuanzhu was detained in Yujiaping, and it was useless for Emperor Chengwu to worry. After seeing it, Emperor Chengwu had no choice but to lower the conditions again and promised to give Zhu Tian a heavy reward, but the military power still had to be handed over. That's it. , Emperor Chengwu and Zhu Tianjiang started a tug-of-war back and forth. Over time, the officials of the Dafeng Dynasty got used to this special recruitment.
Time flies, six months passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Tianjiang once again sent a piece of amazing good news in his letter. This time, it was that Hong Xiaoqing, the unmarried daughter-in-law of Crown Prince Xuanzhu, was pregnant.
As soon as the news spread, the palace suddenly exploded. Emperor Chengwu could no longer hold back his reserve for a long time, and finally agreed to all Zhu Tianjiang's requests. Emperor Chengwu also had no choice but to do this. Zhu Tianjiang, this kid By holding Xuanzhu captive and not allowing him to return to Beijing, even his daughter-in-law was about to give birth, so he had to let Xuanzhu come back and get married.
Emperor Chengwu immediately drafted an edict and ordered Prince Jing to go to Yujiaping to proclaim the title. Emperor Chengwu was afraid that his son would not come back, so he asked Prince Jing to make a special trip.
Brief explanation: King Jing came to Yujiaping, and while the people were watching, King Jing loudly proclaimed his title. Zhu Daguan listened with his arms folded and smiled. His father-in-law, the emperor, was not bad, and he actually made him a Zhongdu Shutian.
The governors of the two provinces, with a first-class official position, can lead 30,000 troops on their own.
The long recruitment process finally came to an end. Prince Jing reunited with his daughter for a few days and returned to the capital with Crown Prince Xuanzhu and his entourage.
Spring passed and autumn came, and another year passed by in a hurry. Zhan Ling gave birth to a daughter, named Zhu Qingfeng, which means the phoenix flying from Tianqing Kingdom. The seventh princess gave birth to a son, and Zhu Tianjiang named him Zhu Yichen.
Everyone thought this name was very strange, but they didn't know that Zhu Daguan's surname was in memory of his previous life.
In the summer of the same year, Prince Xuan Le defeated Zhou Yantian in Guishan City. After three days of pursuit, Zhou Yantian finally died with hatred in the canyon. Although Zhu Tianjiang's strategy was used in this battle, Xuan Zhu also
Completely establish prestige in the military.
In the autumn of the same year, there was news about the ghost doctor Zhuo Xing who had been quiet all this time. This kid actually went to Dangyun Kingdom and took up the position of national master. Hearing the news, Zhu Tianjiang smiled and didn't care. Zhuo Xing
Having information is much better than him hiding in the dark.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Guo Ying and Yu'er also gave birth to a son and a daughter respectively. The old brothers in the capital have been arguing endlessly about who should be appointed as the official. However, Zhu Daguan lived a carefree life.
, don’t care about that at all.
Four years later, Emperor Chengwu officially abdicated and gave up the throne to Crown Prince Xuanzhu. On the day when Xuanzhu officially ascended the throne, Zhu Daguan placed ten thunder cannons at the southern border of the town as a gift to Xuanzhu.
A great gift was given.
Although Zhu Tianjiang has not returned to Beijing for several years, Zhu Tianjiang's prestige is getting higher and higher. Xuanzhu even awarded Zhu Tianjiang the title of General Zhenguo, sitting in Shutian, and governing the two major cities of Pengcheng and Zhennan.
camp site.
On the bank of the Wei River in Shutian Prefecture, there is a deep mansion compound without a mansion sign. The local people know that this is the mansion of Zhu Tianjiang, the great general of the country.
At this time, Zhu Daguan was sitting on the shore of the backyard fishing. A pink girl ran over and said, "Dad, those two old guys from the capital are quarreling again."
"Feng'er, ignore them, have you studied today?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at his eldest daughter happily.
"Dad, Feng'er is not lazy. I have finished copying all the poems you asked me to copy."
"Then recite it to Daddy~!"
Little Qingfeng put her hands behind her back and recited in a decent manner, "Scenery of the Northland~Thousands of miles of ice~Thousands of miles of snow~!"
While Xiao Qingfeng was reciting the poems taught by Zhu Daguan, she heard the sound of two old people arguing in the distance.
"Li Jing, my grandson is prettier than your grandson."
"Chengwu, no matter how good-looking your grandson is, his surname is Zhu. Look at our grandson, his surname is Li."
"You are not as anxious as your grandson. I have two grandsons."
"What are you talking about? If you have the ability, don't follow me here. Just stay in the capital and see your grandson."
"You damn Li Jing, are you trying to make me angry?"
Zhu Tianjiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. These two old brothers are here again. If they don't quarrel for a day, it's like they are about to be put into a coffin.
Xiao Qingfeng pouted her cute little mouth, "Dad, it's better that Grandpa Guo, who never quarrels. I'll go find Uncle Daniel. If they quarrel again, Uncle Daniel will spank them." Xiao Qingfeng was very happy.
After speaking seriously, he turned around and ran towards the front yard.
Zhu Tianjiang smiled and looked at his daughter and the two royal father-in-laws not far away. He always thought this was a dream, but he didn't know when he would wake up from this dream!
