Chapter 286: Have a Son Like Yan Runwu

all.

Everything happened just as the child prodigy Zhang Juzheng had expected.

Yan Shifan impeached his son Yan Shaoting for collusion with the Minister of Justice Pan En and the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate Gao Hanwen and others.

It really did stop at the cabinet.

The Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister simply smiled faintly at this matter and left it to the cabinet.

But the memorial from Zhang Juzheng, the governor of Shuntian.

But he went all the way to the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan.

According to the rules, the content of his memorial should be known to all officials in the court.

But just as the memorial entered the West Garden.

The Minister of War, Yang Bo, immediately announced that he agreed with the court's decision to appoint a crown prince at this moment to consolidate the country's foundation.

immediately.

Yan Shifan also said shortly afterwards that the emperor had been in power for forty years and it was time to establish the country's foundation.

Yan Shifan went even further.

Prince Yu Zai'e is very similar to the emperor. He has been in the palace for twenty-six years, observing the government affairs of the six ministries, five temples and hundreds of officials in the capital. He is kind-hearted, his grandson is intelligent, and the imperial heirs are continuous and orderly. Prince Yu Zai'e should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country.

These words.

It was after Zhang Juzheng that the matter was made completely clear.

The only person who could be the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was Prince Yu Zhu Zaigui, no one else was qualified.

As for who this other person is.

There is no need to say more.

Even Yan Shifan was considerate enough to give a reason.

Because of Prince Yu's lineage, the royal heirs are numerous and the young prince is intelligent.

Subsequently.

Even the minor officials in the court who had supported Zhang Juzheng's reform slogans in the past submitted memorials. Although they did not dare to point out directly like Yan Shifan that Prince Yu should be the crown prince, their memorials not only mentioned that the country should have a crown prince, but also that the best candidate could only be Prince Yu.

Yanfu Lane.

There is a lot of heated discussion outside, it's quite lively.

But the Yan Mansion was peaceful.

The servants in the backyard were even more delighted.

According to the stewards of the former mansion, it seemed that because the eldest young master and the young mistress had not been able to conceive, the mansion asked various parties for help, and finally they got through the relationship with Minister Hu of the Ministry of War and invited Li Shizhen, who was on a local medical tour, to come to Beijing to take the pulse of the eldest young master and the young mistress.

The continuation of the family lineage means a long-term, secure job for these house-born children.

Steady profit without losing!

Back house.

Yan Shaoting didn't feel anything about this matter.

Although he was still a little confused, could it be because of some metaphysical reasons that he and Sister Lu had been silent?
I have clearly tried very hard.

As time went by, he began to let things take their own course.

However, when Li Shizhen came to Beijing, he could diagnose the health of his entire family.

This year.

You still have to live long enough to have the last laugh.

Xu Wei sat aside, peeling the peanut shells and putting them into his mouth one by one.

Xu Wenqing glanced at Yan Shaoting several times.

Then he spoke: "Zhang Juzheng wanted to disrupt the court and take the credit for supporting the new emperor in the future, and then implement the new policy. If the tutor had not taken action in advance, the assistant minister would have directly pointed out that the foundation of our dynasty can only be Prince Yu. I am afraid that the credit for supporting the new emperor would really be monopolized by Zhang Juzheng."

Yan Shaoting smiled and reached out, grabbing a few peanuts from the plate in front of Xu Wei.

I followed suit and started peeling it.

this matter.

In fact, he doesn't know either.

Who in the whole city of Beijing could have imagined that Zhang Juzheng would actually submit a memorial requesting the enthronement of a crown prince?

Yan Shaoting nibbled on a peanut and said softly, "Who would have thought that although there had been endless fighting in the court, Zhang Juzheng would actually do something like overturning the table."

It's just overturning the table.

Originally, everyone was just making moves around the political affairs of the court. Today, either you will be better than me, or tomorrow I will be better than you.

Even if it means a fight to the death and a river of blood.

It doesn’t hurt either.

Now that Zhang Juzheng has done this, it’s a good thing.

Regardless of whether they are royalists, reformists, conservatives, or the neutral fence-sitters who are the largest in number.

Everyone had to make their own positions clear because of Zhang Juzheng's memorial requesting the establishment of a national foundation.

especially.

Everyone knows that Prince Yu will definitely be the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

This time, Zhang Juzheng directly equated the New Deal with Prince Yu.

If you want to occupy a position in the future new dynasty, you must make a decision on government affairs now.

I'm afraid this is the time.

Many people have already been cursing Zhang Juzheng.

Xu Wei smiled and said, "It's obvious, but no one thought that Zhang Juzheng would be the first to come up with this trick. But now the tutor's plan may have to change."

Yan Shaoting nodded: "There is no such thing as a permanent plan. We need to make adjustments as soon as possible..."

Xu Wei asked, "Then will the tutor also submit a memorial to support the proposal?"

"Seconded?"

There was a click.

Yan Shaoting cracked open a peanut, looked up at Xu Wei, and shook his head: "Who else is thinking about His Majesty at this time?"

Xu Wei looked up at Yan Shaoting with a puzzled look on his face.

After just a brief hesitation, Xu Wei's eyes lit up.

He immediately looked up at the sky: "It's hot and rainy now, it's a good time to get rid of the dampness. There are a lot of Chen Ai Ke in Changping for aromatherapy."

Yan Shaoting nodded and said, "Send some over and I'll take them when the time comes."

Xu Wei nodded, put down the peanuts in his hand, clapped his hands, and went to make the arrangements.

And in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Zhu Zaigui's face was full of anxiety.

He paced back and forth.

"This Master Zhang!"

"It really killed me!"

After knowing that Zhang Juzheng submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting him to enthrone the national foundation.

Zhu Zaigui became uneasy and anxious.

Now King Jing has already been enfeoffed, and he is the only prince in the entire Beijing city.

Zhang Juzheng's memorial requesting the establishment of a national foundation was specifically for himself.

Didn’t you see that Yan Shifan later submitted a memorial in which he directly stated that he wanted to be made the crown prince?

Although Master Zhang and Minister Yan both have good intentions, they both think of themselves first when it comes to national affairs.

But is this something that can be brought up now?

Zhu Zaigui stood firmly on his feet and looked up at the dark sky outside.

Directly, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were pressing down on him.

Can you bear it?

Zhu Zaigui shook his head repeatedly.

I can't bear it at all!

It would be great if Tan Lun or Yan Shaoting were here.

I can also discuss countermeasures with someone.

just now……

Zhu Zaigui looked around and finally said, "Call Concubine Li over."

……

Xu Mansion.

After leaving the palace and returning home, Xu Jie immediately called his staff.

The tea room was silent. Outside.

The wind is getting stronger.

Xu Jie frowned and asked, "Still no news from Anlu?"

The staff and advisor shook his head: "Always send people to keep an eye on it. Once there is any news, it will be reported back to the capital as soon as possible."

Xu Jie sighed slightly.

The staff's eyes turned away.

Anlu.

Last year, a distinguished person came from the capital.

Prince Yu's younger brother, His Royal Highness Prince Jing of the Kingdom of Zhi.

The current emperor only has these two princes now. As the second assistants, naturally both sides have their attention paid to them.

Countless thoughts flashed through Xu Jie's mind, but in the end he had to admit one thing.

He sighed: "Prince Yu has a son..."

and so.

In the matter of this dynasty's national foundation, the winner and loser have been decided since last year.

Otherwise, why was King Jing sent out of the capital and established in a vassal state last year?
Just because a little prince was born in Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Originally, this was not a big deal.

But now, that good student of his who had called for reform and innovation actually dared to do something as radical as overturning the table and calling for the establishment of a national foundation.

This has already pushed himself into a dead end.

Although you can also call now.

But it was too late.

He didn't even surpass Yan Shifan, who became the first person to shout that Prince Yu should be appointed as the crown prince after the emperor shouted that he wanted to enthrone the country's foundation.

One step behind.

It means falling behind step by step.

After a while.

Xu Jie then said, "No matter what, first pick out some seasonal gifts and have them sent to Anlu."

The aide nodded, and then asked, "What about Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Xu Jie closed his eyes and shook his head.

Then he said with hatred: "The Ministry of Works can repair the houses of Prince Yu's Mansion. It's too late to do anything now!"

Things that I should have understood at the beginning.

However, I didn't understand it until now.

This made Xu Jie even more annoyed.

……

But when someone is irritated, someone else will feel particularly comfortable.

Such as this moment.

It was still pitch dark outside, but countless lights had already been lit in the Wanshou Palace.

The palace gates were wide open.

The officials who were waiting to enter the palace today to discuss the Shuntian prefect's request to establish the national foundation were present.

And in the inner hall.

But there were bursts of laughter.

"You bastard, your Yan family doesn't have enough food, so you come to me to beg for money!"

On the platform.

Jiajing, who had just woken up, washed and changed into a Taoist robe, looked at Yan Shaoting who had been waiting outside the palace gate early, and joked with a smile on his face.

Lu Fang was preparing some breakfast dishes sent from the imperial kitchen and looked at the emperor and his ministers with a smile on his face.

Yan Shaoting muttered, "I have noticed that the weather has been bad recently, and I thought that the hot summer is a good time to get rid of dampness. It just so happens that there are a lot of aged mugwort in Changping, so I brought it into the palace to help Your Majesty get rid of dampness. I dare not come to Your Majesty to ask for money, but..."

He glanced at Lu Fang who was serving porridge to the old Taoist priest.

Yan Shaoting smiled and said, "But I left home early, so I didn't have breakfast..."

Talking.

He had already taken out a few things from the wallet he had brought with him.

A strong smell of mugwort wafted in the air instantly.

Jiajing sniffed, and when he looked at Yan Shaoting, his eyes became slightly softer.

There has been a big quarrel outside because of Kunimoto's matter.

He even heard that many officials were already trying to establish connections in Prince Yu's Palace.

Up and down.

Only the boy in front of him remembered himself and knew that summer was a good time to remove dampness, so he got some mugwort for himself.

Jiajing smiled and said, "It's quite tasty."

Over there, Lu Fang had already brought a bowl of porridge and some pickles from Liubiju to them.

"Master, it's time for dinner."

Yan Shaoting raised his head and said, "You are enjoying your meal. Give me a leg. I will fumigate you through your clothes to remove the dampness."

Lü Fang smiled and said, "Reader Yan is thinking about the master. If Lord Yan saw this, he would probably be jealous of you."

Jiajing heard the two people saying this in front of him and burst into laughter.

He also readily stretched out a leg and placed it in front of Yan Shaoting.

He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Yan Shaoting lowered his head and leaned over to start fumigating the old Taoist priest with moxa to remove dampness.

After a while.

He heard the old Taoist priest say, "Prepare a breakfast for this kid later, so he won't be hungry early in the morning."

there.

Lu Fang nodded with a smile.

Yan Shaoting raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of fumigating moxa?"

Jiajing held the bowl and looked down.

Yan Shaoting was holding the burning moxa and moving it slowly in the air over his legs.

I felt a warm feeling on my legs and soon I felt slightly sweaty.

Jiajing put down his bowl and chopsticks and couldn't help but let out a relieved sound.

Then he nodded and said, "Is this mugwort also planted by the people of Changping?"

Yan Shaoting nodded and replied: "People can't afford precious medicinal herbs, so they just grow some mugwort in front of their houses and behind their houses every year to feed their children, women, and the elderly."

Jiajing had already glanced sideways at Lu Fang.

Lu Fang was moved.

"The palace uses these things during the four seasons and five festivals every year. Why not use the mugwort from Changping as tribute?"

Jiajing nodded and said, "If the price is high enough, the people can sell it elsewhere. I will share the small mugwort with the people."

Lu Fang responded.

Yan Shaoting didn't expect that the old Taoist priest would be so generous.

"Your Majesty is kind to his people. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the people of Changping."

However, Jiajing looked at Yan Shaoting, who was talking and not forgetting to fumigate himself with moxa.

There was a feeling of emotion in my heart.

The old Taoist priest then spoke quietly: "If you want to have a son, you should be like Yan Runwu..."

As soon as these words came out.

Yan Shaoting, who was fumigating moxa normally, suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Lu Fang also looked over in surprise.

Jiajing smiled and said, "Your father is a lucky man."

Yan Shaoting finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The blessings of our subjects are all granted by Your Majesty, and our honor and disgrace are also due to Your Majesty."

Jiajing shook his head.

Subsequently.

He then slowly asked, "You are usually very thoughtful. What do you think of the court's request for me to appoint a crown prince?"
