The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 596

[596.Chapter 579 Imperial Edict]

But Hongzhi is a stubborn person.

At his insistence, some people were invited to Xishan.

Emperor Hongzhi was lying on his side on the couch, his face looking very solemn. Xiao Jing took a piece of the memorial and read it to Emperor Hongzhi, who sometimes nodded and sometimes shook his head.

Sometimes, he would ask Ouyang Zhi some questions. As a Hanlin waiting for orders, it was Ouyang Zhi’s duty to answer the questions that His Majesty might have.

Emperor Hongzhi sometimes got tired and would squint and rest for a while.

After some memorials were processed, Emperor Hongzhi left Xiao Jing and Ouyang Zhi behind.

Emperor Hongzhi then took a deep look at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing has always been by his side and is the person he trusts most. Of course… now there is Ouyang Zhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: “Have you brought the East Palace Living Note that I specially ordered you to get?”

Xiao Jing stared at Emperor Hongzhi. Although he didn’t understand what His Majesty meant, he still said: “My slave has already brought it.”

Emperor Hongzhi He nodded and said, “Bring it to me and turn it over page by page.”

Xiao Jing couldn’t help but said, “Your Majesty… your body…”

“Turn it over to me.” Emperor Hongzhi did not give him a chance to persuade him.

Emperor Hongzhi must see these things in person.

After all, what daily life cares about is the privacy of the emperor and the prince. Whether they are the emperor or the prince, their words and deeds in the palace will be recorded by specialized people.

Among the most important activities, the emperor and the prince visited the beautiful maiden and the palace maiden.

These things must be kept on file for future reference, in case a maid or a beautiful lady suddenly becomes pregnant in the harem. If the time is correct, it will be clear at a glance.

Emperor Hongzhi’s daily life was mediocre. In private, he rarely complained. Even when he didn’t meet foreign ministers, his words and deeds were consistent with those when outsiders were around. As for his treatment of palace maids and shows If a woman is lucky enough, that’s even less important. She either stays up late at night in the Nuan Pavilion reviewing memorials, or she obediently goes to Kunning Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi didn’t pay much attention to the living conditions in the East Palace, but today…

this daily life note…

“On the third day of February in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the prince was lucky to have his daughter Chun’e; on the fourth day of February, the lucky daughters were Zhou and Wu; On the fourth day of the lunar month, I am lucky to have five daughters, until dawn…”

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes straightened.

There are records one after another, one person today, two or three people tomorrow, or… several girls at night…

There are such records almost every day.

This… is such a ridiculous life?

It has to be said that in this regard, Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang had almost no restrictions on Zhu Houzhao.

Emperor Hongzhi is such a son, so he naturally likes to have grandchildren as soon as possible. When selecting girls in the palace, Empress Zhang mostly kept the ugly ones, dark ones, and those with missing facial features in the palace, but mostly kept the beautiful ones. Send it to the East Palace. Isn’t it just hope that I will have a grandson soon?

A few years ago, Zhu Houzhao was still young, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to rush for such matters.

Emperor Hongzhi didn’t pay much attention to it, but at this moment…

looking at this daily note, it was full of ‘ridiculous’ records. The prince… this guy, fortunately he is young and energetic, and has a good body.

In just three years, fortunately, there were hundreds of beautiful ladies, singing and dancing almost every night…

But…

Emperor Hongzhi nodded towards Xiao Jing, which meant that the daily beauties could be withdrawn.

Xiao Jing hurriedly put away his living notes and looked at Emperor Hongzhi carefully.

His Majesty suddenly paid attention to this, obviously, he had something on his mind.

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a long time: “The prince has not yet given birth to a grandson, Xiao Banban, what do you think is the reason for this?”

Xiao Jing suddenly understood.

Your Majesty is really working hard. He has just saved his life and is already thinking about the problem of his grandson.

But Xiao Jing naturally understands that this matter of the emperor and his grandson is no small matter. It involves the issue of the continuation of the country’s dynasty. This is the foundation of the country and cannot be ignored.

Xiao Jing said cautiously: “I think that His Highness the Crown Prince is still young and may not be very experienced in the world…”

“How can he… ahem…” Emperor Hongzhi was a little excited and coughed desperately: “How can he be inexperienced in the world? He The matter is too deep. “

“…” Xiao Jing lowered his head. In fact, Xiao Jing didn’t understand this thing. He had it cut when he was a child and was sent to the palace. How did he know about giving birth to a child?

Xiao Jing was a little confused: “Your Majesty, this kind of thing, I think this kind of thing can’t be done in a hurry.”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “In the past, I also felt that I couldn’t do it in a hurry, but now when I think about it, and look at this daily life…”

There is no other words behind it. As he continued speaking, he couldn’t help but look at Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi’s face was expressionless.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly in his heart. After hearing these words, the Ouyang Qing family’s faces turned red and their hearts beat. They were really… overly rational.

Over the past few years, I have visited hundreds of women but found nothing. Doesn’t this explain the problem?

At this point, if we don’t rush, how long will we have to wait?

This time he walked away from the gate of hell, which made Emperor Hongzhi extremely scared. If he really died this time and the prince had no heirs, what a terrible scene it would be.

He squinted and said calmly: “Fang Jifan said… it’s not completely impossible.”

“What?” Xiao Jing stared at Zhu Houzhao.

Can Fang Jifan do anything about giving birth to a baby? Is he sending his son to Guanyin?

Emperor Hongzhi’s expression was solemn and solemn.

Xiao Jing lowered his head. He felt that the matter was of great importance and it was better for him to be cautious and conservative.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and said: “This time, thanks to Fang Jifan’s miraculous carrion-cutting skills, I was completely impressed by Fang Jifan’s medical skills. He said there was a way, maybe… There is really a glimmer of hope, Xiao Banban, but I am a little undecided. This is a big deal. If anything goes wrong, I will really not be able to see my ancestors. There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. “

Xiao Jing fell to the ground and said, “Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you said.”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, “Come and tell Fang Jifan.”

Although Xiao Jing didn’t know what he was going to do .

, but he could feel that there was a desolate atmosphere, as if something big was about to happen. He didn’t dare to neglect, so he invited Fang Jifan over.

Fang Jifan came in a hurry and saluted Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi was lying on the couch and said: “Daily note, show it to Fang Qing’s family.”

Xiao Jing was a little hesitant. After all, this was private, but he still obeyed the order. .

Fang Jifan opened the notebook and was confused.

Ten thousand horses were racing through his heart. Where did this guy get the energy…

Fang Jifan put down his living notes in embarrassment. Even though he had only seen the tip of the iceberg, Fang Jifan already felt that he couldn’t tolerate it.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan meaningfully: “Do you still remember what you said to me a few days ago?”

Fang Jifan said: “I remember.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “As long as you remember, I won’t. Are you sure? Since you mentioned it, I…want to give it a try.”

Fang Jifan’s heart almost jumped into his throat.

Your Majesty… you actually made up your mind so quickly.

In fact, this is understandable. This daily life is so unsightly, but for three or four years, no beautiful girl has been pregnant. Isn’t this obvious?

Fang Jifan said: “I will do my best to ensure immediate success. But, just…I am afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will not…”

It would be strange if he did.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “He is my son and a direct descendant of our ancestors. This matter is related to the survival of the ancestral temple. Can we tolerate his refusal?”

“…” Fang Jifan thought it made sense, but…

Emperor Hongzhi said again : “You must be afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will hold a grudge against you, right? Don’t worry, I’m ready, Xiao Jing…”

Xiao Jing’s heart skipped a beat, what… what do you mean… Why does the Crown Prince hate Fang Jifan, and why. …Your Majesty, are you going to call yourself now?

He knelt down: “Your Majesty…”

Emperor Hongzhi gave Xiao Jing a deep look: “Xiao Jing comes forward to handle it. He is the person next to me. If the prince wants to bear grudges, then he will grudge me, my father. You Just use the knife.”

When Fang Jifan heard the word knife, his hands felt itchy.

Now that His Majesty has spoken to this extent, what else can I say? For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, cut it off!

“I believe that the Crown Prince must not know about this matter in advance. It must be caught by surprise. I subdued him once and used the knife immediately without any hesitation. This is a serious matter, and His Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to save face. Knowing this The fewer people there are, the better.”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: “In that case, everything will be done according to your wishes.”

“I obey the order.” Fang Jifan cheered, and the historical trajectory of the Ming Dynasty was about to happen under his own sword. Flip.

Thinking about it, I was actually a little excited.

He saluted and was about to leave. Behind him, Emperor Hongzhi stopped him: “Fang Qing’s family.”

Fang Jifan looked back, wondering what he wanted to say.

Emperor Hongzhi looked very tired: “Leave it to you!”

“Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have some good intentions and will never make any mistakes.”

Fang Jifan walked out and saw Zhu Houzhao, who looked at him suspiciously. Fang Jifan: “What’s going on lately? My father always sees you secretly. I’ve been looking for you everywhere but I can’t find you.”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Your Highness, Your Majesty just took a rest. Come on, let’s go outside and talk. How has Your Highness been feeling lately? “Like?”

“Very good.” Zhu Houzhao was full of doubts.

Fang Jifan sighed: “Your Highness should also pay attention to rest. His Highness undergoes several operations every day and is physically tired. If he accidentally cuts the wrong thing during the operation, wouldn’t it be harmful to others?”

Zhu Houzhao said happily: “Old Fang , it’s because you don’t want to be my assistant. You just say this because you want to be lazy. It’s just a surgery, just cutting a piece of useless flesh. It’s nothing. At first, I thought this was extremely scary. But now that I’m used to it, I can do it just like a cook can do it with my eyes closed. It’s not a big problem. Don’t worry, no matter how tired I am, these people who are being treated will not die.”
