Yi Chun Palace.
The cry is long and mournful.
After more than an hour, the sound gradually stopped, and the voice of Emperor Tianshun came from the curtain.
"Help me change my clothes."
The personal waiter Xiao Wuzi opened the curtains and helped Emperor Tianshun put on the dragon robe with several other waiters. Another waiter handed over the warm Essence Nourishing Soup.
There were about a dozen women lying on the dragon bed, the lingering lingering lingering feeling lingering.
Emperor Tianshun's face turned yellow and dull, his eyes were gray, he took Essence Nourishing Soup and drank it up. Wisps of heat flowed through the meridians, replenishing blood and energy.
After regaining his energy for a while, Emperor Tianshun waved his hand.
"Send it to the conservatory, where it will be well served."
The chamberlain on duty outside the palace immediately walked in after hearing the order. The two of them skillfully wrapped up the woman on the bed and carried her away under a brocade quilt.
"I want to go out for a walk."
Emperor Tianshun was supported by the chamberlain and came to sit down in the pavilion outside the palace.
It was late autumn, the wind was cold and the dew was heavy.
A full moon sheds silver light, making the palace look increasingly cold.
Xiao Wuzi took the fox fur mask, put it on Emperor Tianshun, and whispered, "Your Majesty, please rest early."
"How can I sleep?"
Emperor Tianshun sighed, "People still know that there are three types of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having an heir. If I have no children, the country will be in turmoil, and I will not be able to see my ancestors in the future!"
Back then, King Who Pacifies the West rebelled, and Emperor Tianshun narrowly escaped being hunted by the Three Yang Sect, but his two sons died unexpectedly.
After ascending the throne, Emperor Tianshun worked day and night, but no one in the harem was pregnant.
Imperial Hospital's imperial doctors took turns diagnosing Emperor Tianshun, but did not find any patients. They could only prescribe various warming and tonic prescriptions, but to no avail.
Now Emperor Tianshun are beginning to wonder whether it is true that he was punished by God for killing his mother and his younger brother to seize the throne, as the folk rumors said.
The real Empress Dowager is hiding in Tibet, but the fake Empress Dowager has been buried with Emperor Zhengtong. The inscription is full of the love between the couple, and they have become a model for couples in the world.
Perhaps hundreds of years from now, someone will still write poems praising it.
Hearing this, the servants on the left and right hurriedly comforted him and coaxed him with all kinds of auspicious words, which were more caring than serving his own father.
"Your Majesty is the master of ZTE. It's too late for you, the late emperors, to be happy."
"Yesterday I heard that General Xie won the battle and Southern Frontier expanded the country thousands of miles. This is all due to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty is so powerful and powerful that no one can match it. It must be those women who are not good enough. I will go outside the palace to buy more."
"The Daoist sage Qixia Zi is seventy years old, Grand Ancestor is sixty years old, your majesty is still young..."
Everyone knows that Emperor Tianshun favors and trusts the servants. When he is happy, he will take him as his son-in-law. He will even give his surname Zhao, turning him into a relative of the emperor.
Only Xiao Wuzi's eyes flickered and he lowered his head and said nothing.
There is indeed nothing wrong with Emperor Tianshun's body. After all, Imperial Hospital has no lack of masters of traditional Chinese medicine, but the ancestors secretly used the evil cold energy to kill the dragon spirit.
The ghosts control the Yin Qi of heaven and earth, which ordinary people cannot detect. Only Martial Grandmaster who refines the innate Qi can sense it.
Originally, Eunuch Bureau practiced Ephemeral Bloom Manual, and Innate Grandmaster continued throughout the generations. This coincided with the successive turmoils in the country, creating the current situation of insecurity.
A few days ago, Xiao Wuzi presented antiques from the previous dynasty, successfully appointed Directorate of Palace Affairs Eunuch Wang as his godfather, and transferred Yi Chun Palace to serve Emperor Tianshun in his daily life.
When the time is right, Xiao Wuzi helps Emperor Tianshun get lucky and use the method of Li Dai Tao Zong to restore the country.
The chamberlain's continuous flattery made Emperor Tianshun's face brighten a little, and he promised, "You are all my right-hand men. Whoever has a way to give me an heir can work for the Surveillance Bureau!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
All the servants kowtowed and thanked him, with surprise and a bit of fear.
Whoever doesn't know Eastern Depot Director Zhou's methods dares to point fingers at the Surveillance Bureau, His Majesty will not pursue it even if he is dead.
Xiao Wuzi's mind was spinning, and he knocked on the jade pendant sewn on his sleeve, and soon received a response from his ancestor.
"Your Majesty, this slave has an immature idea."
"Tell me and listen."
Emperor Tianshun has a good impression of Xiao Wuzi. He is hardworking and talks little. His martial arts talent is also excellent and may be reused in the future.
Xiao Wuzi said, "Eunuch Yu just mentioned that these women are not good at childbearing. Can we find some women from outside the palace who are good at childbearing? Maybe we can extend the lineage."
Eunuch Yu sounded reasonable and secretly hated himself for not thinking of it, so he said immediately.
"Those women have long since lost their virginity. How can they be qualified to serve His Majesty? It is against the rules of the palace!"
The idea is a good idea, but if you don't propose it yourself, you have to oppose it.
The chamberlain on the side retorted, "What Eunuch Yu said is wrong. Grand Ancestor has concubines from the previous dynasty in the harem, and there are many who have children. Could it be that Grand Ancestor is not in compliance with the rules!"
Regardless of whether you have it or not, let's put a big hat on it first!
"You..."
Eunuch Yu was choked and speechless, and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, our family is loyal, and we can learn from the sun and the moon."
"I know you are loyal."
Emperor Tianshun looked at the fight among several servants with a smile. If the servants didn't fight among themselves, they would join forces to fight against the master. He patted Eunuch Yu on the shoulder and said.
"Go find some women who are easy to have children, and remember to be careful."
"My slave takes orders."
Eunuch Yu understands the meaning of the words. This matter will harm His Majesty's reputation and must be done in private. Even if a woman gives birth to a dragon in the future, she will lie to the outside world that she is born to a certain concubine.
Xiao Wuzi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, without any displeasure on his face.
Eunuch Yu does things better. If a woman gets pregnant in the future, she will not be suspicious of him.
Emperor Tianshun is always observing the servants on the left and right. Even when working on the dragon bed, he will pay attention to the expressions and movements of the servants. When he caught a glimpse of Xiao Wuzi with an indifferent expression, he was very satisfied in his heart.
"Don't rely on merit, don't resent, he is a good seedling worth cultivating!"
Tianshun three years.
There is no rain or shine.
The court is in a strange and harmonious balance.
Tang Mingyuan worked hard to reform, from politics to the military, from the economy to currency, and many wonderful ideas amazed hundreds of officials.
Foreign soldiers relied on firearms to sweep across the northwest and southern borders, and Daqing's territory expanded again.
Eastern Depot, Western Depot, and Eunuch Bureau fight with each other and jointly supervise Kyoto and local officials. The officials cannot be said to be clean and bright, but at least they are doing their jobs.
This is what scholars dream of.
Still water flows deep, but light does not shine.
Anyone with knowledge can feel the inexplicable pressure, silently restrain their hands and feet, and wait for the drastic changes in the court.
Tianshun four years.
spring.
Eastern Depot Main hall.
The four words "Mingjing hangs high" hang on the forehead, and the portrait of Director Zhou is pasted on the inner wall, with an inscription written by Emperor Tianshun himself.
Famous for generations.
Zhou Yi sat under his own portrait, eyes slightly narrowed, listening to the old eunuch's report.
"Godfather, I failed again."
Xiao Pingzi knelt down and said, "After our family received the news, we immediately led people to surround Lingyun Temple. As a result, Three Yang Sect the Lord and the Saint had already escaped."
Bang!
Zhou Yi crushed the tea cup and said coldly, "Who leaked the news?"
"The eunuch in charge of torture, Eunuch Liu."
Xiao Pingzi said, "Our family has arrested nine people from the Liu family, 172 men, women, old and children. We are just waiting for the godfather's order to arrest them."
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
Zhou Yi knocked on the coffee table, looking at the setting sun outside, thinking about which guy dared to secretly go against Eastern Depot.
At this time.
An old eunuch hurriedly came in, rescued Xiao Pingzi, and reported in a panic.
"Governor, your Majesty has taken in another son, Yi Chun Palace, who is serving you at home, Xiao Wuzi. It is said that Xiao Wuzi came up with the idea to look for a good childbearing woman among the people, and she is indeed pregnant!"
Eastern Depot spies are all over the world, and the palace is also under surveillance.
Emperor Tianshun's so-called act in private means hiding it from ordinary officials. In the eyes of Zhou Yi, there is no secret at all.
Zhou Yi asked, "Eunuch Wu is walking as Eastern Depot?"
"Exactly."
The old eunuch scratched his neck and said coldly, "Duke, do you want someone to send Xiao Wuzi away before the official appointment is made?"
"Chaotang, Three Yang Sect, Your Majesty, Nine Attendants..."
Zhou Yi had a vague understanding and suddenly asked, "Xiao Pingzi, do you really want to rule the country from the ground up?"
"My child... I don't know."
Xiao Pingzi was sweating all of a sudden. How could he dare to answer this question? If he said it right or wrong, he would end up dead in the end.
"If it were our family, I wouldn't want to do it."
Zhou Yi took the tea brought by Qian'er, sipped it gently and said, "It doesn't matter if your own world is cured or broken, the important thing is that you have the power in your hands."
"No matter how good others do, they can't compare to what you do badly!"
