Lan Lan knew that she was pregnant. She knew it very well from the time when her menstruation did not come. She had studied medical skills with Master Wugou at Baiyun Temple for more than a year. She knew her physical condition clearly. She was a mature woman.
, and the emperor was less than forty years old. It was very natural to have a child at such an age.
Yun Zheng had joked that at this time, no matter who it was, as long as she gave birth to a child of her own for the official family of the Song Dynasty, it didn't matter what she looked like or how low her status was. As long as she had a child, becoming the master of the harem was nothing.
Big problem.
Yun Zheng regarded this sentence as a joke, but Lan Lan, who was thoughtful, did not think so, so she begged Master Wugou behind everyone's back to teach her some mysterious secrets of Tantric Buddhism. She wanted to learn about it.
Master Wugou has been traveling on the edge of Sichuan and Tibet all year round. As a Buddhist master, he naturally has a deep understanding of Tantra. Unlike those legendary lamas, Master Wugou puts his knowledge on the most original understanding of Tantra.
Exploring the origin to explain those obscure scriptures, Huanxi Zen is Tibetan Tantric Buddhism developed from Indian Tantric Buddhism. Tantric Buddhism is also called Tandoori Buddhism, Tandoori, the original meaning is reproduction and reproduction. It inherits the neutral power of Hinduism
The thought and practice of the Pai Pai School.
This sect is exploring the origin of life. If the cloak of religion is taken off, people will find that their understanding of human reproduction and reproduction has reached a very high level.
Three male infants of the official family of the Song Dynasty died in infancy, and only four of the twelve daughters survived. For this supreme emperor, it was a disaster, a disaster that could bring him to his death.
Tantric Buddhism has a very clear explanation of women’s menstrual periods and men’s physical conditions. Master Wugou told Lan Lan these secrets one by one, so how can you conceive a child in the best possible condition? Lan Lan
very clear.
The officials of the Song Dynasty went into a misunderstanding in this regard. He thought that the younger the woman, the more energetic she would be and the higher the chance of giving birth to a child. In fact, this is not the case. The body of a twelve or thirteen year old girl
They have not yet completed their development. It is difficult to ensure that the children born by such a woman will not die in infancy. After seeing the young girls in the harem, Lanlan was very sure that the emperor had no children and he was purely asking for it. As for that
An ordinary-looking Empress Cao, Lan Lan viciously believed that the emperor might not have much sexual interest in her.
She was lying on her side on the bed with a small quilt, and through the screen window she could vaguely see Zou Tong's habitually stooped body. Five hundred thousand years of Jiaozi finally persuaded Zou Tong to help her get rid of the other two pregnant concubines.
This was not the time to be merciful. The two concubines who were pregnant earlier than him were his biggest enemies, but not Empress Cao. Empress Cao had never been qualified to be his enemy.
If Lanlan learned anything from the Yun family, her biggest gain was undoubtedly to calmly judge who her opponent was. The emperor had already deposed the arrogant and domineering Empress Guo, so it was impossible to depose the mediocre Empress Cao. If she
Targeting Empress Cao will undoubtedly be disliked by all the ministers, and it will not be of any benefit to herself.
Lan Lan is very strange. The strange thing is that when she offered Zou Tong a son, he accepted it very simply and had a strange expression. Lan Lan did not doubt Zou Tong's loyalty to the emperor. If there was any reason, he would have done it.
A stupid thing.
It's certain that Zou Tong can't help him kill the emperor's hard-won child. So what's the problem? Yun Zheng said that it's best not to act rashly when things are unclear. There will always be opportunities.
It was prepared for those who were interested. Wasn't he too reckless? Fortunately, there was still a chance to make amends. Zou Tong had not had a chance to contact the emperor since he got the handover last night...
So Lan Lan sat up and started to play the piano. The sound of the piano was sad and fierce, as if she was having the most intense ideological struggle. When Zou Tong heard the sound of the piano, he was already happy. The scandals of Huang and Zhang were the only ones in the entire palace.
He and the emperor knew it, so Lin's request was almost nothing to him. It was impossible for the emperor to tolerate Huang and Zhang's defilement in the palace. In fact, he could get five hundred Guanjiaozi without doing anything. This was really incredible.
A beautiful thing. As the knower of the secret, Zou Tongcong felt a very high sense of superiority in his heart.
The sound of the piano stopped, and the stupid maid from Lin's Palace came to invite him, saying that Empress Zhaorong was inviting her. Zou Tong smiled even more happily. Could it be that this woman was worried and wanted to urge him?
Mrs. Lin sat behind the guqin, plucked the strings with her hands and said softly: "Eunuch Zou, Lanlan has caused trouble for you. Ever since I found out that I have your majesty's flesh and blood in my belly, I have been thinking about the future of my child all the time, so much so that
I'm addicted to it and can't extricate myself.
A woman can be forgiven no matter what cruel things she does for her children, but I can't sleep well. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I felt dazed during the day. If this goes on, I won't have peace of mind.
The blessings that come are not blessings. I thought about many things for the child, but I did not consider His Majesty's feelings."
At this point, Lan Lan choked up and stopped, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and continued: "Huang and Zhang are pregnant with your majesty's own flesh and blood, and your majesty has not had enough children. This is a great harm to your majesty, and it also makes people sad."
Father-in-law, you are in danger. I was so confused that I came up with such a vicious method. Eunuch Zou, I beg you to forget what I said before, okay? Just treat it as a pregnant mother to protect yourself.
A child’s hallucination.”
Zou Tong's expression slowly changed from puzzlement to surprise, and then he regained his composure. He smiled, took out the wad of jiaozi from his arms, pushed it to Lanlan's face and said, "You are the best person our family has ever seen.
Kind palace concubine, good people will be rewarded, please take back these friendships."
Lanlan shook his head and sighed: "You are a good person. Since Lanlan entered the palace, you have taken good care of Lanlan. Lanlan is very grateful. These friends are of no use if they are left here with me. Please help me, father-in-law."
Lan Lan goes to the Buddhist hall outside the palace to burn a few sticks of incense, confess my sins, and ask the Buddha to forgive me. If there is retribution, please punish Lan Lan and don’t hurt my child."
After saying these words, Lanlan pushed Jiaozi back to Zou Tong. He seemed to relax and let out a long breath.
Zou Tong returned to the gate with Jiaozi in his arms. He felt very comfortable standing in the bright sunshine with his whisk in his arms. Yes, it was this feeling. He was used to the life-and-death fights among the palace concubines, and suddenly a kind-hearted person appeared.
This made Zou Tong feel happy for His Majesty from the bottom of his heart. Who doesn’t like to deal with a kind person? He had already thought about it and took out Shi Guan Jiaozi and asked the master of Xiangguo Temple to help Empress Zhaorong perform a ritual.
, pray for the little master...
"How dare he call me a fool?" Zeng Gongliang was furious at Bao Zheng's house.
Bao Zheng held the tea cup and looked at the angry Zeng Gongliang for a long time before speaking: "I felt sorry for you at first, but after I personally observed the power of that kind of gunpowder, I think he was right." After that,
After saying that, he blew away the floating tea leaves in the tea cup. After taking a nice sip, he put down the tea cup and put his hands on his lower abdomen, waiting for Zeng Gongliang to continue to explode.
"Brother Xiren, have you seen the power of gunpowder with your own eyes?" Zeng Gongliang forgot that he was about to get angry: "How powerful is it? Is it really capable of breaking apart mountains and cracking rocks?"
Bao Zheng nodded and said: "It's true. A huge section of the city wall was wiped out in front of my eyes. Not only the fireworks can hurt people, but even the sound waves, yes, that's the word, sound waves can kill people, and they appear to be unscathed.
, the internal organs have been rotted, and it is no exaggeration to call it a great killer. With this thing, the cavalry will die as many as they come, so I agree with Yun Zheng that you are included in the ranks of idiots."
Zeng Gongliang rubbed his hands excitedly and kept circling on the ground. He strode up to Bao Zheng and spread his hands: "Secret recipe, give me the secret recipe, I want to test it immediately."
Bao Zheng looked at Zeng Gongliang as if he were a fool and said, "You are considered a fool by others. Do you think he will give the secret recipe to me? Isn't it possible that I am a fool like you?"
After Lao Bao finished speaking, he burst into laughter. There were not many opportunities to make fun of Zeng Gongliang.
"He dares to protect the secret recipe of a killing weapon alone? What is he going to do? This thing is an important weapon of the country and is not suitable for being in private hands." Zeng Gongliang was a little worried.
Lao Bao pressed Zeng Gongliang on the chair and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. In order to avoid suspicion, I don't know the secret recipe, but Your Majesty knows it. The Boy Army has secretly presented the secret recipe to Your Majesty. Do you want to
If you know, you can go to His Majesty and ask for it."
"Farewell!" Zeng Gongliang didn't intend to stay for a moment. He turned around and left. When he reached the door, he turned back, picked up the tea bowl, drank all the tea in one go, and said to Bao Zheng, "The tea is good. I'll send the butler to send me a pack later."
Half an hour later, Zeng Gongliang was sitting upright on a chair in Chengtai Hall, waiting for the emperor to summon him. Also sitting on the chair and dozing off was Jia Changchao, the political counselor of the Council. The two people had always had disagreements, so Zeng Gongliang paid a visit to the Council as usual.
The political minister sat in his chair and waited impatiently for the emperor to come out.
"Why is Ming Zhong so anxious?" Jia Changchao took the initiative to find out the reason for Zeng Gongliang's visit. He did not want Zeng Gongliang to come to persuade the emperor to establish the heir as soon as possible.
"I have nothing to do. I'm going to play a game of chess with His Majesty. I lost miserably last time. I hope I can regain some face this time." Zeng Gongliang said nonsense. He didn't even bother to hide his disgust when facing Jia Changchao.
"Your Majesty has not been in court this morning, and I am afraid that he does not have the energy to play chess with you, Ming Zhong. The state is in a state of chaos. Since Ming Zhong cannot share your worries with the king, he cannot play with the court like this. The Song Dynasty is far from the time of singing and dancing to bring peace.
"Jia Changchao didn't seem to hear Zeng Gongliang's boredom, but instead lectured Zeng Gongliang. (To be continued)
