Chapter 132 What Princess Qingdu wants

Facts have proved that Queen Mother Sun's skills are quite sharp.

It only took one night to settle this matter.

Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in this era where kissing is important, killing Jiao Jing can be said to be a national law. But if Princess Qingdu really causes something, Zhu Qizhen's face will not look good.

When Zhu Qizhen heard that Queen Mother Sun had comforted Princess Qingdu, he immediately said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for this."

Empress Dowager Sun smiled softly and said: "Between mother and son, there is no saying whether to thank or not, but Qingdu is not without conditions."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Auntie, what are your conditions?"

Queen Mother Sun said: "She wants to remarry in Qingdu."

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he suddenly felt a little troubled.

Because this is not in line with today's social customs, let alone ancestral family law.

Later generations of scholars commented that the family law of the Ming Dynasty was the best. The best thing about it was that the princesses married without two. From Emperor Taizu to the present, the princess and the consort have been a loving couple or a bitter couple.

Never separated halfway.

Because the mainstream ideology of the government advocates chastity, many eyes are watching the royal affairs. Therefore, many things cannot be done.

Zhu Qizhen himself may not agree with this family law. But he already has a politician's thinking. Whether something is right or wrong is not too important.

Most importantly, invest in political costs and benefits.

Although Zhu Qizhen did not like those civil servants who said that starving to death was a small thing and losing integrity was a big problem. But now that the imperial court governs the world, there are too many things that require the help of the civil servant group.

Zhu Qizhen actually didn't want to, because a trivial matter caused a big disturbance.

Empress Dowager Sun sighed and said: "Qingdu is actually very pitiful. She was born as a concubine and was not loved by the Empress Dowager. She was raised in the palace with me and we had a good relationship. After marrying Jiao Jing,

He came to me many times to cry and complain.”

"The relationship between Jiao Jing and her is not very good."

"In fact, the only person in the world who wishes Jiao Jing to die is probably her."

"It's just that a woman has no man and no heirs. How can she live the rest of her life? It's just that people hate her and ghosts hate her. Even if she is a princess, what can she do?"

"No matter how much she hates Jiao Jing, she has to come here to plead for mercy."

Zhu Qizhen felt pity secretly in his heart.

I really don’t know that women in later generations are so eager to travel through ancient times, but they don’t know that even if they are princesses in ancient times, they may not be able to guarantee a happy marriage.

Most of them are like Princess Qingdu.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mother, this matter can only be done slowly. Don't be too hasty. I will look for my aunt."

Empress Dowager Sun said: "This makes me feel relieved."

This matter should not be rushed. Not to mention the opposition from external ministers, just because the husband has just died here, it would be a bit too ugly to remarry with all the fuss.

As the heavy rain continued, Zhu Qizhen was busy with things, and Empress Dowager Sun did not have time to stay.

Zhu Qizhen sent the Queen Mother back and watched as the Queen Mother disappeared into the dark palace walls under the cover of a group of palace maids' umbrellas. He then returned to Qianqing Palace and wrote a large cinnabar in cinnabar on a memorial that had been laid out long ago.

The word "cut".

The bright red cinnabar looks like dripping blood.

This memorial has been published in batches.

Immediately there were eunuchs holding it.

Walk all the way out of Qianqing Palace and arrive at the Meridian Gate.

On the square in front of the Meridian Gate, the city towers on both sides face each other, and the tower in the middle is towering. The heavy rain seems to be woven into a rain curtain, densely intertwined from the sky to the ground.

But here there are dozens of people kneeling in the rain.

These people are all those who obstructed the water control during this time.

After all, there are many dignitaries in Beijing who never pay attention to the laws of the imperial court. In their eyes, Shuntian Mansion is nothing.

Jiao Jing is just an example.

The little eunuch stood in the rain and said loudly: "According to the holy instructions, behead him."

Jiao Jing was shocked and struggled desperately.

But he had been tied up long ago, and a piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth. He couldn't even speak. How could he struggle out of Jin Yiwei's control?

These Jin Yiwei are all veterans of executions.

Just hearing that the holy metaphor had arrived, without saying a word, he raised his sword and blood spurted out.

Jiao Jing's head was already in a different place.

Jiao Jing's death was just one of countless people who died in the summer of the fourth year of Zhengtong.

However, Jiao Jing's head still had an effect. No one in Beijing dared to disobey Yu Qian's order.

Yu Qian dug trenches according to the water potential. He dug directly into any house he came across. He didn't know how many houses were cut off in the middle.

Yu Qian's ruthless approach naturally brought him a lot of resentment.

But it also greatly improves project efficiency.

It took just a few days to achieve initial results.

Although the continuous heavy rain has not stopped, the water in the city has no intention of spreading.

Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, Zhu Qizhen concentrated on water control and neglected other matters.

But there is one thing that cannot be let go of.

Because the King of Yue has gone.

When Zhu Qizhen heard the news, he was sad but had expected it.

After all, the King of Yue's illness did not last for one day or two.

It's been there since childhood.

The King of Yue contracted the disease from his mother's womb. Many famous doctors believed that the King of Yue would probably not live to reach adulthood, and the disease might even hinder the development of heirs. This was the reason why the other princes were in exile, but only the King of Yue stayed in the capital. Now that we have counted, He also lived for thirty-five years.

This is a blessing among misfortunes. It far exceeds the estimates given by famous doctors when King Yue was a child.

But this is for Zhu Qizhen.

But she still couldn't accept it.

The Empress Dowager only had three sons.

The eldest son Xuanzong, the second son King Yue, and the youngest son King Xiang, but now she has given away two of them. No matter what the reason is, it is the most painful thing in the world for a white-haired person to give away a black-haired person.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager's body and bones are not as good as before.

When Xuanzong left, although the Empress Dowager was sad, she was more worried about the country and the country. But at this moment she had decided to hand over all major affairs of the court to Zhu Qizhen.

Most of the burden in my heart was empty. At this time, I heard that the King of Yue had gone. Naturally, I couldn't bear it.

So he fell ill.

The elderly are different from the young. A disease among young people usually comes and goes quickly, but once the old people get sick, they linger on the bed. The disease goes away like silk.

Zhu Qizhen moved his residence to Cining Palace, served decoctions and medicines every day, and handled government affairs right next to the Empress Dowager's ward.

Because of the heavy rain.

So the morning pilgrimage is no longer necessary.

After all, the imperial court does not listen to the government in the room, but on the square. We can't let the civil and military officials of the court get wet in the rain.

However, although Zhu Qizhen did not go to court, he did not dare to relax at all in the government affairs of the court.

Zhu Qizhen could see it from the reports from all parties.

The fourth year of Orthodoxy is not a good year.

It's not just Beijing that's experiencing floods. Many water systems in Hebei are in trouble. A dam has burst in Zhangde Prefecture. However, the cabinet dealt with it in a timely manner.

Along with floods, there are also locust plagues, mostly in Shandong, especially Dongchang, Shandong.

While Yu Qian was working hard to control the flooding in Beijing, Yang Shiqi was also maintaining the operation of the court, the Marquis of Baoding had arrived in Nanjing, and Wang Ji was reorganizing the southern garrison and selecting available troops.

Logistical support for the Battle of Luchuan, as well as disaster relief in various places.

Can't stop.

In the past, Zhu Qizhen just watched the government. Although he could go through these memorials in front of his eyes, it was difficult to write on them. But now he naturally tries various things on them.

Although there is no grand ceremony.

But seeing these Zhu Pi's ministers, they all knew one thing. The orthodox dynasty, which had been belatedly arrived, was coming.

Zhu Qizhen had just finished approving these memorials when he heard Wang Zhen say from the side: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is awake."

Zhu Qizhen immediately put down his writing and went to the Queen Mother's bedroom. Sitting in front of the Queen Mother's bed, he whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your grandson is here to see you."

The Empress Dowager's cloudy eyes slowly cleared up, she looked at Zhu Qizhen and said, "Emperor, you are here."
