Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

Longqing's sudden illness also disturbed the entire harem. If Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty had not abolished the system of the throne, all the concubines would have cried in tears at this time.

Although the initial diagnosis by the imperial physician was not serious, no one dared to take Longqing's dragon body lightly. Both the imperial physician and the palace servants became more cautious.

When Long Qing returned here, he no longer felt any physical illness, but he was sleeping on the dragon bed as usual, and the snoring sounds made could reach the door.

Empress Chen brought the emperor's legitimate son to visit him, but when she learned that Longqing was still sleeping soundly inside, she carried the emperor's legitimate son and returned to Kunning Palace again.

Time flies, and it is almost noon, and the scorching sun is hanging in the sky.

Concubine Li knew Longqing's daily routine well. When she saw that she was almost the same, she brought her two sons to the Ganqing Palace for a visit.

Zhu Yijun is eight years old and resolutely a noble boy. Since he was regarded as the future crown prince since childhood, he walked like a dragon and a tiger.

Zhu Yiliu is three years old this year. He has the same outfit as Zhu Yijun, but he is still clingy at the age of being led by Concubine Li.

After Longqing slept with a beautiful sleep, he became refreshed and now his body was not at all strange, as if the physical discomfort in the morning was actually a dream.

"Your Majesty, you are scared to death! If you really have any flaws, I... what should I do with us, mother and son?" Concubine Li cried when she saw Longqing awaken.

Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yili were severely educated by Concubine Li since childhood. When they saw Concubine Li crying, they also started crying in great harmony.

this……

Zhang Fu was responsible for Longqing's daily life. Now that I saw this scene, if I hadn't seen Longqing lying on the bed, I would have thought Longqing had collapsed.

Longqing lacked family affection since childhood. Looking at the three people crying for him, he also sat up and comforted him gently: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that? I just don't have a good rest. You can be fine if you have more rest!"

"I have told you a long time ago that you should pay less attention to those vixen and pay more attention to your health, but you just don't listen!" After hearing Long Qing's statement, Concubine Li sniffed and continued to complain.

Longqing frowned slightly, but said seriously: "This matter has nothing to do with anyone, but I didn't sleep well last night, so don't make any trouble here!"

"I am not making trouble, I am just worried about your body!" Concubine Li knew that she really couldn't control Longqing, so she stopped crying and said.

When Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yili stopped crying when they saw their mother stop crying, they looked up at Longqing lying on the bed with tears in their eyes.

Longqing liked these two cute sons from the bottom of his heart. He stretched out one hand to help Zhu Yijun wipe away his tears and said, "Jun'er is already eight years old, so don't cry anymore!"

When Concubine Li heard this, she was worried that her eldest son would not understand his usual teachings, so she couldn't help but look at Zhu Yijun sternly.

Zhu Yijun almost didn't think about it, but he threw himself on Long Qing and said, "Jun'er is worried about his father!"

Longqing suddenly felt a warm feeling of family affection, and then stretched out a hand to touch the back of Zhu Yijun's head and said, "Jun'er, don't worry, my father is in great health!"

"Okay, your father is fine, stand aside first!" Seeing that the time had arrived, Concubine Li shouted immediately.

Zhu Yijun was most afraid of his mother, especially after the ceremony of self-enthrone and crown prince, he became severe in all aspects and even frequently punished him.

Now that I heard my mother suddenly speak, I didn’t dare to be charmed by my father anymore, so I stood obediently in front of the bed.

Zhang Fu first looked at Concubine Li's nerves, then looked at the obedient eldest son Zhu Yijun, who had faintly seen through this trick commonly used by their eunuchs.

Longqing knew Concubine Li's temper well, so he looked up at Concubine Li with a little displeasure: "My beloved concubine, Jun'er is still young, you can't be so strict with him!"

"How can I not be strict? Now the ministers in the court are staring at Jun'er, but just a small misbehavior, so they are labeled as stupid!" After hearing this, Concubine Li felt aggrieved.

accused.

This is not entirely a alarmist statement from Concubine Li, but that there is a reason for the incident.

Although the arrangement of the eldest son to go out of the cabinet to study was blocked, Long Qing often brought Zhu Yijun to attend the lectures with him, but wanted Zhu Yijun to listen to the content of the great scholars' lectures more.

After all, Zhu Yijun was not a born genius. Facing the Four Books and Five Classics that were like the heavenly books and what the Cichen said, he was inevitably sleepy.

However, this action was soon discovered. Chen Yiqin, who was teaching, did not spoil Zhu Yijun and directly accused Zhu Yijun of not having talent and asked Longqing not to bring Zhu Yijun over again.

This matter is not complicated. In this era of respecting teachers and respecting Taoism, no one wants to be able to sleep loudly underneath while teaching.

But when things came to Concubine Li's ears, they soon began to change. In the end, Chen Yiqin was accusing his son Zhu Yijun of being stupid.

Long Qing didn't know what to say, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "I suddenly felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable this time, but it made me think a lot. Yi'er is already very big, so why don't you seal Jun'er first

A King of Wu!”

Huh?

When Zhang Fu heard that Longqing wanted to enthrone Zhu Yijun as King of Wu, he couldn't help but turn his head in surprise and look at Longqing.

The King of Wu may have been in ordinary times in other dynasties, but the King of Wu in the Ming Dynasty was quite particular, because Zhu Yuanzhang claimed to be the King of Wu before he became emperor.

This title of king originated from the great ancestor is of extraordinary significance. Once Zhu Yijun was enthroned as King of Wu, Longqing's intentions were undoubtedly revealed to the outside world, and even laying the groundwork for seizing the crown prince.

Concubine Li is the daughter of a mason, but she can't see the truth clearly. She mistakenly thought that Longqing wanted to use the throne to dispose of her son. She couldn't help but wipe her tears and accused him: "Your Majesty, you don't joke. You said you want to enthrone the enthronement.

Jun'er is the prince!"

The reason why she is still thinking about the crown prince is not that she has the confidence to defeat Empress Chen, but that Long Qing made this promise to Zhu Yijun back then.

this……

Zhang Fu was born in Prince Yu's Mansion and knew how much Longqing loved Zhu Yijun during Prince Yu's time. He just watched Concubine Li re-promise this promise repeatedly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the palace maid of Prince Yu's Mansion in complicated ways.

Although Longqing loved Zhu Yijun very much and made a promise, there was no emperor's legitimate son at that time. Now that the emperor's legitimate son is born, how could you, a palace maid, fight so much?

When Longqing heard this old thing, he was speechless.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to directly enthrone the eldest son who accompanied him through the most difficult years in the royal palace as the crown prince, nor that he doesn’t want to keep his promises back then, but the ministers would not agree to this move at all.

If there was no emperor's legitimate son, everything would be easy to say, but now that the emperor's legitimate son has been born, he naturally cannot abolish the virtuous and kind queen for no reason. The situation has already undergone fundamental changes.

The reason why Lin Shiran's prestige is that Lin Shiran has real achievements and ability to govern the country, and the other hand, Lin Shiran is resolutely a representative of the legitimate faction.

Once a confrontation arises due to the establishment of a crown prince and the officials led by Lin Weiran refuse to give in, then the emperor's face will be greatly lost.

That's why Zhu Yijun is now enthroned as King of Wu, which not only further clarifies Zhu Yijun's status, but also prevents direct conflicts between him and civil and military officials.

But this woman was determined to let Zhu Yijun ascend the throne of the prince directly, and this move undoubtedly posed a big problem for him.

"Father, the child does not want to leave the capital. He wants to stay with his father and mother and be filial to his father and mother!" Zhu Yijun also didn't know the true intention of enthroning the King of Wu, and immediately begged with tears.

Zhu Yiliu was still a three-year-old child after all. When he saw his mother and brother crying, he also started crying together.

this……

When Zhang Fu, who was standing next to him, could not help but look at Longqing sympathetically, but the mother and son were holding their lives with tears.

Longqing looked at the crying mother and son, and couldn't help but softly said in his heart: "The matter of establishing a prince must be discussed for a long time, but beloved concubine, don't worry, the candidate for the prince in my heart has always been Jun'er!"

Concubine Li was actually a little guilty. After all, her son should be ranked behind the emperor's legitimate son. However, seeing Long Qing support his eldest son so much, he still remembered his promise back then, and he couldn't help but feel much more at ease.

Zhu Yijun felt a little expectation in his heart. After all, his father was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. As long as his father said he wanted to enthrone himself, the ministers below naturally could not object.

When Zhang Fu heard Long Qing's thoughts, he couldn't help but stare at Long Qing slightly, but he didn't expect that Long Qing's candidate for the crown prince is still Zhu Yijun.

Suddenly, he noticed a reflection on the ground. When he looked up, he stood upright and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have seen the Empress, the Empress, the Empress, the Thousand Years!

But at some point, Empress Chen appeared here with her chubby emperor's son.

this……

Long Qing, who was lying on the head of the bed, and Concubine Li, who was standing in front of the bed, were stunned immediately, and turned his head awkwardly to look at Empress Chen who was holding the emperor's legitimate son.

"I and Qian'er pay tribute to the emperor, long live the emperor!" Queen Chen held her chubby son and said in a regular manner as if she had not heard the conversation just now.

Longqing had a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he was also lucky, so he raised his hand and said, "Emperor... the queen doesn't need to be polite!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Empress Chen's face was as usual, and she said with a demeanor.

Concubine Li knew that Empress Chen must have heard the conversation just now, and with an unconfident smile on her face, she led her two sons to pay tribute to Empress Chen.

Facing this master whom she served in the past, Empress Chen now gave birth to the emperor's legitimate son, which made her feel a little afraid.

How she hoped that there would be no legitimate son of the emperor, so she didn't mind being respectful to Queen Chen, and her eldest son could naturally ascend to the crown prince.

"I'm leaving!" Queen Chen and Long Qing had a bad relationship and had no topics. After greeting her, she took her son to leave.

The sky in June is clear and cloudy, and a scorching sun hangs high in the sky.

Empress Chen came out of the Ganqing Palace and walked directly into the sunshine. Thinking of the conversation just now, she couldn't help but breathe helplessly, looking at her son with concern.

I thought it was natural for his son to take up the position of prince, but now it seems that Long Qing doesn't care about his son at all and still wants to support Zhu Yijun to the throne.

The emperor's son naturally didn't understand these things. He liked the smell of Queen Chen very much, but he was lingering Queen Chen comfortably and sucking a thumb in his mouth.

In the evening, the sky suddenly became dark, and a heavy rain came as scheduled, washing away the ancient city of Beijing very wildly.

A few days later, Longqing finished recuperation and sat in the jade chariot to go to the Golden Palace for a morning court.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to take the opportunity to rest for a while, but all officials are eyeing him. If he continues to pretend to be sick, he will probably be accused by those censors of being addicted to women, so he will be fined. receive.

However, this time he brought inspiration. If he really doesn't want to go to the morning court next time, he can use pretending to be sick to be lazy for a few days.

As Longqing arrived at the Golden Palace, the sound of long live the mountain shouting sounded immediately in the hall.

After the ceremony, the officials stood up one after another, but many officials were constantly browsing and were already brewing a big storm.

oh……

Longqing, wearing a dragon robe, sat down on the dragon chaise in a listless manner as before, enduring the soreness on his waist and yawning comfortably.

Feng Bao has now taken over Chen Hong's position, standing in the Golden Palace, whispering in a unique voice: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

The five pavilions in front of them were like old monks entering meditation, but no one was moved or even checked on others. They had reported nothing today.

Lin Xuan, the Minister of Rites standing in the back row, was already ready to go. After confirming that the boss in front had not left the line, he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"

"Shangshu Lin, please report!" Long Qing couldn't help but yawn again, and raised his hand casually without any alertness.

Lin Weiran and the other cabinet master were already aware of the whole story, but there was no expression on their faces, but they looked up and waited quietly for Long Qing's facial reaction.
