Chapter 268 The Son of Heaven has a descendant! 【1 more】
Capital
In the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao went to the Imperial Garden with Shao Yuanjie to practice Taoist health-preserving skills after attending the morning court as usual.
As an innately strong Taoist, Shao Yuanjie was naturally proficient in health preservation. For a period of time, Shao Yuanjie even instructed the emperor on what to eat every day, in order to help Zhu Houzhao replenish his deficient body.
Zhu Houzhao lost his virginity to the temptation of the palace maids around him when he was a teenager. Coupled with the lack of restraint, it can be said that he indulged in pleasure since then. When he ascended the throne, he gathered many beautiful women in the leopard room.
The color is a bone-scraping steel knife. This is really not a lie. Because of the early loss of Yuan Yang, Zhu Houzhao's body was already seriously depleted. That is to say, there were many precious medicinal materials in the royal palace that could be used to regulate the body, but this also hurt Zhu Houzhao.
The foundation of thick care is that even if a queen is established and concubines are adopted, there will still be no heirs for several years.
In fact, even Zhu Houzhao himself knew that the inability of the queen and concubines to give birth to a dragon was basically his own problem.
After all, there are so many women around him. If the queen and concubines themselves have problems, then it is impossible for everyone to have problems.
Chu Yi specially recommended Shao Yuanjie to him for this purpose. Zhu Houzhao had really put in a lot of effort during this period, and under Shao Yuanjie's constraints, he persisted in practicing.
Over time, it has become a habit, and after this period of conditioning and practicing health-preserving exercises, Zhu Houzhao himself can clearly feel the changes in himself.
On this day, Zhu Houzhao finished practicing. While taking the tea from Gu Dayong, he said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, is there any news from Chu Dayong?"
Generally speaking, through the information channels of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Chu Yi would take the initiative to submit a secret letter to Zhu Houzhao every three or two days. Through the secret letter submitted by Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao could learn about Chu Yi's current situation.
Gu Dayong shook his head slightly and said: "According to Manager Chu's habit, if nothing unexpected happens, perhaps a secret memorial will be presented tomorrow."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, glanced towards the south and said, "I have gone to Fuzhou, and I don't know if I can successfully deal with the Zhu family in Jianyang."
The imperial edict that Cao Shaoqin read in front of the Zhu family's mansion in Jianyang was not a random fabrication by Chu Yi, but was actually an imperial edict signed by the emperor himself.
Of course, if you really want to say it, the only thing is that this imperial edict has not been approved by the cabinet and belongs to the emperor. Otherwise, Zhu Houzhao will punish the Zhu family for the crime of treason. I am afraid that this imperial edict will be used in the court.
He can't even pass the level of civil and military officials.
Gu Dayong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. If General Manager Chu is not sure, he will never act rashly, so your Majesty will just wait for the good news from General Manager Chu!"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Shao Yuanjie, who was standing with his head bowed, and said: "Master Shao, do you know if there are any powerful people in the Zhu family in Jianyang?"
Shao Yuanjie pondered for a while and said with a condensed look: "When your Majesty asked, Pindao remembered that decades ago, a great genius came out of the Zhu family in Fuzhou. His name was Zhu Wengeng. He reached the innate level at the age of thirty.
It was quite a sensation at that time. If nothing else happened, Zhu Wengeng would have lived in seclusion in Jianyang."
"What!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but exclaimed. As the emperor, although he didn't care much about Jianghu, when Chu Yi fought with Dongfang Bubai, Zhu Houzhao specifically asked Gu Dayong and the others to introduce him to the masters in Jianghu and these masters.
division of boundaries.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao knows very well what it means to be an innate strong man. He is almost the top strong man in the world, a being who cannot be defeated even by dozens or hundreds of powerful soldiers.
Even though he knew that Chu Yi's cultivation was not bad, but when he learned that the Zhu family actually had an innate powerhouse in charge, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but worry about Chu Yi's safety.
Shaking the whisk in his hand, Shao Yuanjie comforted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Manager Gu said earlier that your majesty must have confidence in General Manager Chu. Besides, even though Zhu Wengeng is strong, he may not be able to do anything to General Manager Chu."
Zhu Houzhao said with regret on his face: "If I had known this, I would have sent the palace masters to accompany Chu Daban. At least, I can help Daban share some dangers."
At this moment, a young eunuch came in a hurry and said with a bit of panic on his face: "Your Majesty, the Queen..."
Frowning his brows, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glared at the young eunuch and said solemnly: "What's wrong with the queen?"
Although his relationship with the queen was not that deep, she was still his queen, so seeing the panic on the little eunuch's face, Zhu Houzhao still felt a little worried.
The little eunuch said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, not long ago, the Queen suddenly vomited violently..."
Zhu Houzhao said with some concern in his eyes: "Have you ever invited an imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment?"
The young eunuch nodded quickly and said: "The imperial doctor has been invited. I have followed the order of the empress and came to confess to your majesty. I am afraid that I will not be able to serve your majesty at night."
Not long ago, Zhu Houzhao sent someone to the Queen's palace to convey a message, and he would go to the Queen's residence to rest in the evening. Therefore, the Queen was feeling unwell, so he sent a young eunuch to report to the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said to Gu Dayong: "Gu Dayong, the queen is not feeling well. I will go and have a look now and show her to the Kunning Palace!"
Soon Zhu Houzhao drove to Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace is the palace where the Queen lives. Because Queen Xia has a gentle and elegant temperament, Kunning Palace is also very peaceful. There are not many maids and chambermaids serving the Queen.
In Kunning Palace, there was a burst of vomiting, and Queen Xia lay weakly on the couch, her face a little pale.
Across the curtain, an old imperial doctor was diagnosing Queen Xia's pulse. The old imperial doctor looked a little strange. Queen Xia's confidant maid who was waiting on the side looked at the old imperial doctor with concern and noticed the old imperial doctor's expression.
I couldn't help but whisper: "Yi Hu, how is your phoenix body?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Immediately, the maids and eunuchs of all sizes in Kunning Palace knelt down to welcome the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao strode into the palace, glanced around, and waved his hands to signal the kneeling doctor Hu and several palace maids in the room. The chamberlain stood up.
At this moment, Queen Xia, who was lying on the couch, saw the emperor coming and quickly struggled to get up to greet the emperor. Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao said: "The queen is not feeling well, so there is no need to be formal!"
Queen Xia said to Zhu Houzhao: "I thank you, Your Majesty!"
After glancing at Dr. Hu, Zhu Houzhao said: "Doctor Hu, is there anything wrong with the queen's health?"
Imperial Physician Hu looked at Queen Xia on the bed, then at Zhu Houzhao, took a deep breath, bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao and said: "I congratulate your majesty, congratulations to your majesty, the queen is pregnant, and the Tian family has an heir!"
"What!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then there was a look of disbelief on his face. He grabbed Dr. Hu and looked at Dr. Hu in surprise and said: "Doctor Hu, what did you say? I have a baby? I have a baby!"
"
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is really excited. If Zhu Houzhao had a young temperament in the early years, then under the influence of Chu Yi in the past two years, Zhu Houzhao's temperament has actually become much calmer.
Especially in the past two years, in order to help him stabilize the court, Chu Yi went on a killing spree, killing batch after batch of officials, and suffered infamy from all over the world.
Zhu Houzhao was not an unintentional person. How much pressure and danger was Chu Yi endured? Chu Yi was assassinated several times and was even besieged by an army more than once. It would be best if Zhu Houzhao was not shaken and did not change at all.
Strange things.
It is precisely because his temper has become much calmer and he realizes that the emperor is not doing it for himself alone, but is responsible for the welfare of all people in the world. It is Chu Yi and Gu Da who use the hopes of the people who are attached to him. Zhu Houzhao has grown a lot.
.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to follow Chu Yi's suggestion, specially recruit Shao Yuanjie, and follow Shao Yuanjie to practice Taoist health-preserving methods.
Chu Yi once said that if the emperor had no heirs, his ministers would be uneasy and the country would be in danger of instability.
What Zhu Houzhao wanted was to give birth to a dragon son to stabilize the court and even the world.
Now that he suddenly heard that the queen was pregnant, the emperor was not surprised, and even seemed quite embarrassed.
In Kunning Palace, several palace maids and chamberlains all had expressions of surprise on their faces. Their master was pregnant. What did that mean? They, who had been in the palace all year round, didn't know.
The queen is pregnant, and once she gives birth to a son, he will be the eldest son. It is almost certain that he will be the future emperor, and he will be the queen's support in the future. Even those who serve the queen, in the palace
Zhongna's status instantly rose a bit.
Empress Xia, who was lying on the couch, looked at Imperial Doctor Hu almost in disbelief. Ever since she entered the palace in the first year of Zhengde and became the empress of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Xia had not spent much time with Zhu Houzhao.
In the early years, Zhu Houzhao had a temperamental attitude and his mind was basically settled. In addition, Zhu Houzhao moved out of the Forbidden City and lived in the Leopard Room. This made the queen and Zhu Houzhao spend less time together and away from each other. Over the course of a year, they could not even see each other a few times.
In the past six months, under the persuasion of Chu Yi and other civil and military officials, Zhu Houzhao finally moved back to the palace from the Leopard Room. Only then did the emperor and empress have the opportunity and time to get along.
A month ago, Zhu Houzhao, under Shao Yuanjie's suggestion, moderately recruited the queen and two concubines to sleep with her. Originally, Empress Xia didn't have high hopes, but now the imperial doctor actually said that she was pregnant. How could this not happen?
Queen Xia was inexplicably excited.
