For Emperor Tianqi, this time I went to the Zhang family was more because of Zhang Jingyi's rewards for so many contributions over the past few days.

It is also aimed at some people, expressing the emperor's importance to Zhang Jingyi.

Especially this imperial examination, why can’t Emperor Tianqi see that those scholars are jealous of Zhang Jingyi?

The reason why Zhang Jingyi was envied was just because of him as the emperor.

Many scholars and ministers were not satisfied with him as the emperor, and Emperor Tianqi knew this very well.

Especially after Donglin was destroyed, a large number of Donglins were deposed, but they still did not give up and scattered all over the world to continue to spread the ideas of Donglin Academy. The scholars in the world all sympathized with them.

Of course, these scholars did not dare to turn their anger at Emperor Tianqi. After all, this is unfaithful, so although they have many complaints, they probably just said that the reason why the emperor was foolish was because of the treacherous ministers in the court.

Who is the treacherous minister? Wei Zhongxian is one, but Wei Zhongxian is too cruel. If he really wants to offend him, he will really kill people.

Zhang Jingyi, who has become famous recently, is also the same.

Because of this, Emperor Tianqi wanted to cheer Zhang Jingyi up.

Don't be afraid.

I'm behind you.

Of course, this is also the nature of Emperor Aoqi, who already has a preference for those close to him.

Whether it is the wet nurse Keshi or Wei Zhongxian's nephews, he takes care of him on weekdays.

Even though his brother, Duan Wang Zhu Youjian, had all the reputations of being "wise", Emperor Tianqi did not think about the bad side.

If it were someone else, I was afraid that no matter how Nine Thousand Years or King Duan would have died a hundred times.

Emperor Aoki was particularly enthusiastic about this matter and asked people to choose gifts, but he had many worries.

I heard that the emperor was going to pay a full moon to one of Zhang Jingyi's nephews. For a moment, the court was in an uproar.

Emperor Tianqi did have a reputation for being stupid, but he didn't expect to be so stupid.

So much so that ministers in the court wrote letters.

Even the harem became uneasy.

Many rumors caused great headaches for Emperor Aoki.

Emperor Tianqi immediately stated that he was going to worship his ancestors.

He first issued a sincere edict saying that he had had several dreams and dreamed of the previous emperor. The last time he could not make a journey due to the weather, he planned to choose auspicious day to go to the imperial tomb and worship his ancestors.

Wei Zhongxian quickly asked the Imperial Heaven Supervision to check the auspicious day of the zodiac. It was a coincidence that the day of the full moon was actually auspicious day.

"Speak it up... Maybe no one will believe it." Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian who came to report it and said, "Why is it so coincidental? Will the officials mistakenly think that my filial piety is actually an intention?"

Wei Zhongxian said in his heart, don’t you know it yourself? I’ll ask us.

Naturally, his face was full of smiles, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty... You said that Your Majesty has such filial piety. The former emperor has a spirit in heaven. I don't know how happy it should be! As for the gossip outside, let them talk."

Emperor Aoki nodded: "It's so good."

Wei Zhongxian seemed to remember something and said, "It's just... why is it so popular for the full moon of a nephew of the Zhang family?"

Emperor Tianqi said calmly: "Have you saved Jia? Have you taught Huiyuan? Have you ever made contributions to water control? Have you ever grown sweet potatoes?"

Wei Zhongxian: “…”

Wei Zhongxian felt like he had been stabbed in his heart.

Obviously, Emperor Aoki has not finished speaking.

"Do you have a girl? Is your girl alone? Is it so pitiful? Did your girl give birth to a child?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "I...no."

Looking at Wei Zhongxian's smiling face, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt it was quite boring and said, "Okay, hurry up and make arrangements, don't disturb me here, I'm upset!"

Wei Zhongxian nodded and left the Qinzheng Hall.

When he returned to Silijian and had just settled down, an eunuch came quickly: "Nine Thousand Years."

Wei Zhongxian looked down at the man and raised his eyebrows. He saw that the man was wearing old clothes and looked very simple, and even the boots under his feet were torn.

So he couldn't help but say angrily: "Zhang Shun, who have you gambled with?"

This person is Zhang Shun. When Zhang Shun heard this, he immediately said, "Sun... the grandson has not gambled."

"I still say no?" Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth and said, "If not, will the salary in the palace make you so shabby? How much have you lost?"

Zhang Shun: “…”

Zhang Shun had no way to explain. Can he tell Jiu Qiansui that he had been giving gifts to Zhang Jingyi all the time?

I am afraid that once I say it, nine thousand years old will be the first to bury him alive.

But...this does not make sense.

As a eunuch, what expenses can he spend in the palace?

Of course, there were some miserable eunuchs in the palace, but Zhang Shun was different. Zhang Shun was on duty in the Sili Supervisory Office. Not only did he have a generous monthly salary, but on weekdays, some small eunuchs also gave him some meaning.

Wei Zhongxian covered the sky with his hands in the palace, but he also climbed up step by step. Why didn’t he know that Zhang Shun’s current identity was definitely not so desolate?

Zhang Shun wandered for a long time and could not tell the truth. In the end, he had to say: "Sun... the grandson is going to bet. The grandson is sorry for the nine thousand-year-old support. The grandson deserves to be punished by the crime."

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and was very disappointed with Zhang Shun.

There are rules in the palace. You, Zhang Shun, are my grandson of Wei Zhongxian, but you went to bet on money with people. Which one in the Sili Prison is like you, Zhang Shun?

Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly: "Next time, be careful with your skin."

Zhang Shun kowtowed quickly: "I don't dare anymore."

Wei Zhongxian sat down, changed his tone and said slowly: "What's the matter if you come to see us?"

Zhang Shun then remembered the important matter and hurriedly said, "I heard that Concubine Li and the Empress in the east... A few days ago, I kept calling a palace maid and asked about one thing, all about the whereabouts of another palace maid who lived with this palace maid. Not only that, I also specially asked someone to check the file, which was about the daily life of His Majesty. I heard that... October before, a palace maid was pregnant... But somehow, suddenly disappeared..."

Wei Zhongxian cheered up and said, "We have heard some rumors about this before, but I thought it was just some rumors. But Concubine Li and Queen Zhang were so enthusiastic, which is strange."

Needless to say, Concubine Dongli has always been remembering the royal bloodline.

Queen Zhang has never been able to give birth. In fact, now she has long lost the idea of ​​sowing dragon seeds.

The Concubine Xili and Keshi have actually been giving birth to a son and half of their daughters for Emperor Tianqi.

The palace seems calm, but in fact it is strange.

Originally, Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry. Anyway, there were many beautiful girls selected by Keshi, but now, he is a little anxious.

If you don’t give birth to a dragon son, then Duan will really be the crown prince. This is what Wei Zhongxian wants to see the least!

You know, the influence of the crown prince is extremely great. After all, the reason why everyone curses him Wei Zhongxian is because he is Emperor Tianqi behind him, but if Duan is the crown prince, I am afraid he has another thought!

The short-sighted one may have flattered Wei Zhongxian, but more people are afraid that they will use a long line to catch big fish and press the treasure on Duan Wang.

After all, who doesn’t know that King Duan has always been very cold to Wei Zhongxian? Today, Wei Zhongxian is appointed. If King Duan ascends the throne tomorrow, you may be the first to kill.

Not only that, Wei Zhongxian has removed many thorns in his eyes over the years, and these thorns in his eyes have always praised Duan Wang Xianming. If Duan Wang is in power in the future, will he have a good life for him, Wei Zhongxian?

But if Your Majesty has a son, it would be different...

Wei Zhongxian's face changed, and he slowly said, "The Empress... I think she has always been worried about her future."

Yes, it is called the Queen and cannot give birth to a son... Thinking about the situation of Empress Dowager Zhang during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty, it is disappointing to think about it. If King Duan had a little conscience, it would be fine, but if he had no conscience and imitated the previous emperor Jiajing, he would really be unable to live.

But if the emperor had a son, even if he was not a biological child, as long as the etiquette and law were still there, Empress Zhang was nominally the mother of the child, and this pattern would be different again.

Wei Zhongxian said seriously at this time: "Is that palace maid pregnant?"

Zhang Shun said: "There have been a record of luck. Many of the reactions since then, according to the explanations of the people around her, it really seems like they are pregnant..."

"But... the Empress protects those who know some of the inside stories very closely. Jiu Qiansui, I dare to fight... I think... it may be that Concubine Dong Li and Empress Zhang suspected that Jiu Qiansui did something, which made the palace maid disappear out of thin air."

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but gritted his teeth: "Heaven and earth have a conscience, how dare we do such a thing? There are so many rumors outside that we will kill the prince today and the concubine tomorrow. We are just a slave. Everything is given by His Majesty. Even if we have great courage, we will never dare to do this."

Wei Zhongxian walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and then said angrily: "If they dare to throw dirty water like this, we will say... this palace maid... was they using the means, and Queen Zhang was afraid that this palace maid would be worthy of her son!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will pass on this way, and everyone in this palace will know it." Zhang Shun said pleasingly.

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhang Shun coldly: "Do you think it's not messy enough? Isn't this a place without any silver? Is it obvious that we are framed by Queen Zhang?"

"Ah..." Zhang Shun was so scared that he was out of control and hurriedly said: "I have died."

Wei Zhongxian looked stern: "This matter... needs to be thoroughly investigated and use all means. This matter is related to the future life and death. We cannot teach people to take the lead. We... this time we will also be the hero who follows the dragon..."

From the dragon... Zhang Shun looked up at Wei Zhongxian.

What dragon is this from?

That young dragon who has not even been born and has not yet been born?
