Chapter 163 Inheritance of the Emperor [For Xin Yuhua Night
As the saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest thing. Even if it is a family of ordinary people, even if there is such a thing, let alone the king of a country.
If you think about it carefully, Zhu Houzhao is now about twenty years old, and at this age it should be full of children.
The most important thing about the royal family is the princes and grandchildren, especially the emperors of a country. If there is no son at the bottom of their knees, it is not a small problem.
That is, Zhu Houzhao is young, so this issue has not been valued by all civil and military officials. If Zhu Houzhao is over thirty years old, there will be no prince under his knees. I am afraid that all civil and military officials will write letters to ask Zhu Houzhao to accept the harem.
Emperor Hongzhi only loved the queen in his life, and only Zhu Houzhao was the son of Zhu Houzhao. By the time of Zhu Houzhao's generation, Zhu Houzhao didn't even have a single brother or sister.
Even Chu Yi subconsciously ignored the problem of Zhu Houzhao having no children.
If history had not changed, Zhu Houzhao would have died inexplicably in the future, but the throne fell into the hands of a cousin like Emperor Jiajing, Shizong.
There is a saying that the people died and the government was extinguished. After Zhu Houzhao's death, a group of ministers led by Yang Tinghe completely eliminated the policies promulgated by Zhu Houzhao during his reign. Even the "Records of Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty" led by Yang Tinghe was criticized by Zhu Houzhao.
It is conceivable that the one who inherited the throne of Zhu Houzhao was just Zhu Houzhao's cousin, and there was no relationship between him and Zhu Houzhao.
It can even be said that Emperor Jiajing vaguely supports Yang Ting and the slander of Zhu Houzhao. There are some problems with Emperor Jiajing's throne. If Zhu Houzhao, the former emperor, was wise and powerful, and so on, wouldn't Emperor Jiajing be shrouded under Zhu Houzhao's halo?
More importantly, Zhu Houzhao's death has many suspicious points. Some people speculate that the civil servant group headed by Yang Tinghe counterattacked, and Zhu Houzhao was killed.
If Zhu Houzhao had a prince under his knees, these people wouldn't dare to be so crazy. They wouldn't avenge me after they really became princes.
Think about the two most strange and suspicious emperors in the Ming Dynasty, the most strange and suspicious emperors, Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao. Both of them died of water and were infected with wind and cold. They both had no children and were succeeded by brothers after death. Moreover, there were similarities in the actions of the two emperors Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Youxiao when they were in power.
Zhu Houzhao favored Liu Jin in the early stage, and later tried to take charge of military power and get rid of the control of the civil servant system. Although Zhu Youjian was named a carpenter emperor, the famous eunuch Wei Zhongxian was introduced by Zhu Youjian to fight with civil servants. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, the Ming Dynasty had sufficient taxes, and the border food and fodder had never been short of shortage, so he took the initiative in confrontation with the Later Jin Dynasty.
When Zhu Youxiao fell into the water and died, Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, listened to the words of civil officials, threw away Zhu Youxiao's last words, killed Wei Zhongxian, and abolished the Dongchang and Jinyiwei. As a result, the Ming Dynasty slid into the abyss.
From the two emperors, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Houzhao, it can be seen that the consequences of the emperor without a child are quite serious.
Chu Yi really didn't notice this before. Now someone attacked him with the Emperor's Queen. The other party was not targeting the emperor, but just wanted to use this to cause trouble for Chu Yi.
After all, Zhu Houzhao was only twenty years old, and no one could have expected that Zhu Houzhao would have no descendants in his life. Even those who secretly fabricated rumors would not have imagined this.
It would be fine if I didn't notice it before, but now someone reminded him, so Chu Yi has to take it seriously.
The consequences of the emperor having no descendants are quite serious. If it is a prince cultivated by himself, then the changes made by Zhu Houzhao during his reign may be continued through the hands of the prince.
But if it were outsiders who came to take up the throne, it would be hard to say.
The most important point is that if the emperor has no queen, it will be difficult to stabilize people's hearts. Zhu Houzhao will die inexplicably in the future. If there is no such reason, Chu Yi himself would not believe it.
Anyway, the emperor has no queen, so he will be killed quietly. After all, no one will go into it. If the prince is there, even if he has that intention, he must consider whether he will be settled by Qiu Hou in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yi slowly stood up and said to Du Qian, the little eunuch standing beside him: "Du Qian, take these case sects and follow the governor to the leopard room for a walk."
Du Qian carried the Censor and followed Chu Yi straight to the leopard room.
Yang Tinghe and Chu Yi came to manage the government affairs in the court. Zhu Houzhao at most read the important memorials selected by Chu Yi and Yang Tinghe and others were.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's days have been quite leisurely these days. Even because the cavalry in the capital were shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere everywhere, no one of the important officials in the court came to disturb Zhu Houzhao, which made Zhu Houzhao much more purified.
On this day, a sedan chair appeared outside the leopard room.
A gray-haired figure appeared, and a young man next to him was supporting the other party. If a powerful man saw him, he would definitely recognize him as Zhang Mao, the British Duke of the Capital, the first of all the nobles.
Zhang Mao glanced at the little eunuch with a full aura and said, "Go to report to the emperor, and say that the old minister Zhang Mao asked for a meeting!"
Zhang Mao has been emperors for several dynasties and is the head of the nobles. He has been in charge of the Beijing camp for more than 40 years. His aura is not something that a little eunuch can withstand.
At this moment, he naturally nodded in panic and hurriedly ran into the leopard room to pass on Zhang Maotong.
Soon, Zhang Mao and his grandson were invited into the leopard room.
When he saw Zhang Mao, even Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and said, "The old Duke is not resting in the mansion, how can he have the time to see me!"
Zhang Mao paid a big gift and said, "Old minister is here to apologize to Your Majesty!"
Duke of Wei and British were all dating with the country. Zhu Houzhao also respected Zhang Mao very much and supported Zhang Mao and said, "The old duke doesn't have to be too polite, get up quickly!"
As he said this, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong: "Parent Gu Da, prepare a seat for the old Duke. I will sit down and talk to the old Duke!"
Zhang Mao thanked the emperor and sat down. Then he looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!"
Zhu Houzhao then looked at Zhang Mao and said, "Why did the old Duke say this!"
Zhang Mao said slowly: "A few days ago, Huang Kui mobilized his troops privately. As the admiral of the Beijing camp, the old minister did not notice it. It almost caused a disaster among the traitors such as Huang Kui. The mistakes of me are quite serious. I will come to apologize to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao was slightly stunned and chuckled: "What does the matter between Huang Huai and others have to do with the old Duke? Although the old Duke was in charge of the Beijing camp, it was impossible to station the troops permanently. Huang Huai and others had to confide troops privately from the old Duke, so the old Duke didn't have to blame himself for this."
Zhang Mao said with gratitude: "Your Majesty is trustworthy, and the old minister is very frightened. There is a saying in his heart that you don't know whether to say it or not to listen to it."
Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "The old Duke is the pillar of the country. He can be called my elder. If you have anything to say, just say it bluntly."
Zhang Mao looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "The old minister begged Your Majesty to stay away from Chu Yi, don't repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yingzong's favored Wang Zhen!"
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao's face became a little ugly, but seeing Zhang Mao's loyal and earnest look, Zhu Houzhao sighed in her heart.
Zhu Houzhao was not surprised that Zhang Mao was disgusted with him and favored Chu Yi. When he favored Liu Jin, Zhang Mao said the same thing.
The shadow left by the Tumu Fort battle on Zhang Mao was too profound, so this old Duke would directly advise him whenever he saw a certain eunuch who had the possibility of becoming Wang Zhen.
Whether it was Wang Zhi during the Chenghua period, Liu Jin, or Chu Yi, Zhang Mao, who had directly advised the emperor, hoping not to favor the eunuchs and to take Wang Zhen's affairs as a warning.
Even Zhu Houzhao, as the emperor, didn't know what to say when facing Zhang Mao's direct advice. At this moment, Chu Yi brought Du Qianzheng in the distance and strode.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up when she saw Chu Yi. Her reaction naturally made Zhang Mao frown.
Chu Yi can know the rumors among the market, so Zhang Mao can naturally know that Zhang Mao came here not only to apologize for guilt. In addition to apologizing for guilt, it is also his purpose to persuade Zhu Houzhao to stay away from Chu Yi and other eunuchs, accompany more concubines in the harem, and reproduce offspring is also the purpose of his trip.
Zhang Mao looked white-haired and arrogant without anger. In addition, the other party was still qualified to sit opposite Zhu Houzhao when he met Zhu Houzhao, so he didn't even need to think about his identity, so Chu Yi roughly guessed it.
There are only a few people in this capital, but combined with the information from the East Factory, Chu Yi can almost certainly confirm Zhang Mao's identity.
Zhang Mao looked at Chu Yi, and his eyes naturally showed a little dislike and disgust. Chu Yi still knew this British Duke, so when he noticed Zhang Mao's dislike, Chu Yi was not surprised at all.
Since the battle of Tumu Fort, Zhang Mao has no good feelings for the eunuchs, which is no secret in the capital.
Taking a step forward, Chu Yi first bowed to Zhu Houzhao, and then said to Zhang Mao: "Chu Yi has met the British Duke!"
Zhang Mao stroked his beard, but glanced at Chu Yi with a calm expression and snorted lightly.
Chu Yi did not expect Du Qian to submit the case to the sect and then said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Huang Huai and others have been arrested and brought to justice. These are the main culprits. The accomplices of the accomplices, and the accomplices, and the accomplices have been arrested. These are the main culprits. The accomplices of the case, please review them personally."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the thick stack of the case sects and said with a little anger: "I'm worried, I will read it carefully!"
At this moment, British Duke Zhang Mao said to Chu Yi with a little sarcastic sarcasm: "Mr. Chu has been majestic these days. In this capital, the name of General Chu can almost stop children from crying at night. Your Majesty trusts you so much. General Chu should not create any unjust, false and wrong cases!"
