The cry of Emperor Hongzhi startled Xiao Jing and Fang Jifan.

Xiao Jing hurriedly stepped forward, stroked Emperor Hongzhi's back, and comforted him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everything is emotional, and emotional injury hurts the body."

Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed and at a loss.

Although Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands, his momentum suddenly weakened a bit.

After much difficulty, when Emperor Hongzhi regained his strength, he raised his head, his eyes were already red and swollen, and he said, "Really seven?"

"That's right, there are seven." Fang Jifan bowed: "Your Majesty, there may be more in succession in the future. Therefore, not only His Majesty and His Royal Highness will have successors, but if there is no accident, I think that in the future, His Majesty's descendants will be even more numerous." Lush, Your Majesty is like a big tree, Your Highness is like a branch, with luxuriant branches and leaves."

Emperor Hongzhi wiped his tears, but he still couldn't believe it. He knelt and sat behind the court case. This might be the most regrettable thing in his life. At this age, other people have grandchildren, but he himself, There is only one son, but no grandchildren.

Royal family affairs are state affairs, and now, I have no regrets.

He took a deep breath and stared at Fang Jifan: "Fang Jifan, this time, you solved my serious problem."

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am very ashamed." The implication is, yes, that's right, it was me, and it was Fang Jifan who did it.

After Emperor Hongzhi burst into tears, he was overjoyed immediately. He said excitedly: "Among the seven, I don't know how many grandsons and future princesses there will be, ah, have you reported to the Empress Dowager and Lady Zhang? If they know, they still don’t know how happy they will be?”

Zhu Houzhao said: "My son, let's go now."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I will take you there."

Fang Jifan secretly took a look at Zhu Houzhao, feeling in his heart, indeed, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat dried shrimps.

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong wanted to announce the good news, but they were cut off by Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao went to announce the good news, and now they have received retribution. There is no way, Emperor Hongzhi is even bigger.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately said, "Come, undress me."

He actually solemnly put on the crown, court clothes, and a jade belt around his waist.

He led Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan to the dragon chariot, entered the harem all the way, and went straight to Renshou Palace.

………………

As soon as the emperor left, several senior scholars from the cabinet arrived.

Liu Jian led, followed by Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.

The day before yesterday, the news just came that there was a conflict between An Nanguo and Guizhou, and the two sides were at war. For this reason, Liu Jian personally met with An Nanguo's envoy stationed in the capital to ask the reason and process of the incident.

The envoy of An Nanguo believed that Fang Jinglong had repeatedly provoked and changed the national border without authorization. The two sides insisted on their own opinions, but there were many casualties between them.

The government of Guizhou State in Yunnan Province and the Chief Envoy of Guangxi Province also have reports to impeach An Nanguo over the years. The specifications are the same as those of the Ming emperor.

Naturally, the most important dispute lies in the fact that Milu's tribe actually spans Yunnan, Guizhou and other regions. Now Milu has been granted the Liu family, and has been ordered to marry into Fang's family as his wife. Her territory is the same as the original However, many of the original tribe's territories, mostly in Yunnan and other places, were eaten away by the Annan Kingdom. Fang Jinglong ordered people to suppress a group of Annan people who crossed the border. The Annan people immediately retaliated and killed them across the border. Many civilians, as soon as this matter was reported, they immediately had different opinions.

The intention of the Duke of Qian State seems to be to take advantage of this opportunity to avenge the revenge and reopen the frontier quarrel.

After all, the Mu family in Yunnan entered Annan at the order of Emperor Wen and suppressed the civil uprising in Annan. Dozens of hundreds of children once guarded various places in Annan, and many of them died in Annan. In the government's small ledger, they can remember everything clearly.

On the other hand, Guangxi's chief envoy still believes that negotiations should be the main focus. Although An Nanguo was rebellious, there was a lesson learned during Emperor Wen's time.

Liu Jian and the others firmly believe that such important matters, His Majesty has been waiting for him for a long time, and must be discussed repeatedly.

But when they arrived at the Nuan Pavilion, they found that the building was empty and there was only one eunuch guarding it. When they saw Liu Jian and the others, they realized that His Majesty was in such a hurry that he forgot to send someone to the cabinet to inform them. old.

"Where did your majesty go?" Liu Jian felt strange.

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty has gone to Renshou Palace."

"Ren Shou Palace..." Liu Jian raised his eyebrows, showing a strange look.

The eunuch looked at Liu Jian and said, "There is good news, East Palace... has joy."

Xie Qian was happy: "What can there be in the East Palace..."

Having said this, Xie Qian's face changed. Something is wrong...

He stared at the eunuch: "What's the matter?"

"It's just joy, the seven beautiful girls and the nanny, there's joy in their stomachs." The eunuch said.

"..."

The expressions of Liu Jian and the others changed immediately.

seven...

Of course, that's not the point of focus.

Most importantly, does His Royal Highness have a queen?

Daming... will usher in the grandson of the emperor?

Will the baby be a boy or a girl?

As if it doesn't matter.

Among the seven, there will always be a great-grandson. Even if they don't have the ability to make babies, within three years, they will be full of children and grandchildren, so why worry about this?

Snapped……

Liu Jian knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground, and cried loudly...

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were also crying, kneeling in front of Nuan Pavilion.

If the grandson is born, then the court situation will be considered settled.

The prince has no descendants so far, which has long caused people to have too many associations.

And these associations are not as simple as mere gossip.

For many famous families, what they have to consider is not just what is in front of them, but what will happen ten or twenty years later. After ten or twenty years, if the crown prince has no heirs, at that time, His Majesty will only I am afraid that he has already passed away, and the crown prince will take over the throne, so who will be in charge of the court in the future?

Because of this concern, many people secretly began to make friends with close relatives, hoping that in the future, if they had the opportunity, they could become the master of the Great Treasure and ascend to heaven.

There are also quite a few royal families in distant branches who covet this great cauldron and inevitably have plots.

But now, at last, the crown prince gave the world a reassurance.

"Long live my emperor!" Liu Jian kowtowed heavily, and he could already feel His Majesty's joy at this moment.

The eunuch said: "My lords, let's go back to the cabinet to handle official duties first. Your majesty is afraid that he will stay in Renshou Palace for a while. When the time comes, he will have his own edict."

Liu Jian shook his head: "This kind of great joy, other small military and political matters are nothing to worry about. The father-in-law does his own thing. I just wait here to congratulate you."

The three knelt here stubbornly, the eunuch was helpless, but he didn't dare to talk too much.

………………

Renshou Palace.

The empress dowager lowered her head, wearing reading glasses, looking at the map.

This is the relic of the eunuch of the Three Treasures brought by Xu Jing from Mugudushu. It is now called the map of the world and the four seas. On it, there are already marked navigation routes. , staring at the position where all the bones are tied, she tremblingly said: "If Zhou La is still alive, he should have arrived here at this moment, all the bones are tied, what is this place? It looks like charcoal, such a dark person, how terrifying, if it is at night, wouldn't he even be able to see people..."

As she spoke, the Empress Dowager sighed: "This is an unworthy descendant, an unworthy descendant, the Zhou family is just such a person, and they are still waiting for him to carry on the family line, but he slipped away and insisted on going to sea, even if he couldn't stop him. If there is a good or bad, the Zhou family will be over, hey..."

The empress dowager, who was on crutches, frowned.

Although at her stage, she has already tasted enough of the glory and wealth. At this age, I don't know when I will go to see the late emperor. There are still too many regrets in my heart.

The matter of life and death has been taken care of, but the crown prince has no heirs so far, and the Zhou family... has such a bastard as Zhou La, it's really... not worrying.

She said, taking off her eyes.

At this time, Gong'e hurried in: "Ms. Zhang and Her Royal Highness have arrived."

The Empress Dowager frowned: "Didn't you come here to say hello early in the morning? Why are you here again?"

Gong'e said: "Your servant doesn't know either, I only know that there is a message from Nuan Pavilion that Madam Zhang is waiting in Renshou Palace, and that His Majesty will come to see you later."

The empress dowager's heart skipped a beat: "What happened?"

Just as they were talking, Empress Zhang and Zhu Xiurong had arrived.

Empress Zhang didn't know what happened, when she came in, she saluted first and said, "Grandmother, Your Majesty..."

The Empress Dowager smiled wryly, sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "How does the Ai family know, Ai's heart is also whispering."

Empress Zhang looked sad.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her: "Why, your complexion has been getting worse and worse recently, and you couldn't sleep again last night?"

Empress Zhang said: "There is nothing...my concubine..."

But Zhu Xiurong hurriedly said: "Great-grandmother, the queen mother really didn't sleep last night."

Empress Zhang quietly pinched Zhu Xiurong.

Zhu Xiurong hurriedly bowed her head, not daring to speak any more.

The Empress Dowager smiled wryly: "Hey, why doesn't the Ai family know what you are thinking? In the past, although you were worried, but this worry was hidden in your heart. Fang Jifan said that circumcision can cure the hidden illness of the prince. At this moment, it makes you think, man, with even a little bit of hope, it is difficult to be at ease when your heart is alive. These days, you have been suffering a lot, how could Aijia not know? ?”

The Empress Dowager pursed her lips and smiled: "After all, you have never experienced strong winds and waves. You have to be calm and the sky is falling. , What have you never seen before, you have to be open-minded."

Empress Zhang's heart flushed after the instruction, and she really felt that she had lost her composure and lost her dignity, so she glanced admiringly at the empress dowager who was with the old god: "The concubine knows, from now on, I will teach my grandmother a lot. "
