Xu time.

In the dead of night, everything is silent.

The Qinzheng Hall is brightly lit.

Emperor Tianshun was sleepy, yawned, and took the refreshing tea from his servant.

The commander of the Zhenfu Division made Lu Wei kneel on the ground and reported the changes in the court: "Your Majesty, Tang Ge Lao intends to hand over power, and most of the six officials have joined him."

"A small number of officials claim to be clean and determined not to be in the same class as the servants. Among them, Xu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry and Zhong Shilang from the Ministry of Officials are the most vocal opponents. Should we eradicate them?"

Since the palace change, the power of Dongchang has expanded rapidly, and the Fusi of Xichang town has been declining day by day. After finally waiting for His Majesty to dispatch, Lu Wei needs to take the head as credit.

The east factory is good at burying dragon robes, and our west factory can carve jade seals!

"It's okay, let them alone."

Emperor Tianshun's heart is like a mirror, and there must be different voices in the court, not only to use the nine permanent servants to seize power, but also to prevent eunuchs from monopolizing the regency.

"What is Xie Aiqing doing recently?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Marshal Xie is recuperating at home."

Lu Wei knew that this was not what His Majesty wanted to hear, so he continued: "The secret agents of the Zhenfu Division monitor day and night, Marshal Xie hasn't left his house, and he hasn't seen anyone from Chaotang or Dongchang."

"Only Zeng Fu came to congratulate. They are both members of Jiajing Mansion. The conversation between the two of them was mostly nostalgic for their homeland. There is nothing wrong with it. It's just Xie Dashuai..."

Emperor Tianshun asked: "What did Xie Aiqing say?"

Lu Wei said: "Marshal Xie was granted the title of Uncle Pingjin by his ancestors, and later he was demoted to a commoner due to court disputes. He repeatedly lamented that he could not restore the glory of his ancestors!"

"Hahaha."

Emperor Tianshun smiled when he heard this, and said: "What is a mere earl, you go and tell Xie Aiqing to rectify the Beijing camp and go north to patrol the border. When I come back, I will seal him as a marquis!"

Lu Wei was startled, His Majesty was going to attack King Zhenbei.

Ever since the imperial army was equipped with artillery and bombs one after another, Northern Xinjiang has become much more docile. They often write letters to express their loyalty, and they are no longer as arrogant as they used to be.

The reason why it was patrolling the border, not the Northern Expedition, was because the northern border still belonged to Daqing legally.

Eunuch Jing, who was personally waiting on the side, reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, our family heard that Duke Du once had a very close relationship with Marshal Xie."

Emperor Tianshun frowned slightly, looked at Lu Wei and asked, "What else is going on?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, that is an old matter from the late emperor's time."

Lu Wei secretly scolded the old eunuch for his bad intentions, and explained: "Marshal Xie once traveled the rivers and lakes with Zhou Du's stallion. The late emperor transferred Marshal Xie to guard southern Xinjiang in order to prevent Dongchang from gaining military power."

"After that, the two of them never met again. If Marshal Xie hadn't wiped out the Southern Man, he might have led the troops in Southern Border until he died."

"I see."

Emperor Tianshun said to himself: "A little kindness is nothing, I can give you more. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to be an official or take power?"

Eunuch Jing said respectfully: "Your Majesty's servants are more broad-minded. I just want to guard against Duke Zhou. After all, Dongchang is too big to lose."

Emperor Tianshun nodded approvingly, "You are right."

Taking back the six powers from Tang Mingyuan, the next goal is to clean up the East Factory. Zhou Yi has been the governor for too long, and it is time to make room for young people.

The outer court and the inner court cleaned up, and then sent troops to patrol northern Xinjiang.

Emperor Tianshun made precise plans step by step, boasting that after all the successes, he would become the emperor who would stand side by side with Taizu.

Lu Wei asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you want to send a message to Marshal Xie?"

"Let's pass some time."

Emperor Tianshun acted cautiously, and did not want to cause extra problems at a critical moment, so he asked, "When will Concubine Shu give birth?"

Eunuch Sun replied: "Physician Liu took the pulse today and said it will be in three or five days. I can't tell the exact time."

Emperor Tianshun nodded slightly. This heir was very important to him. Without a prince, the foundation of the country would be unstable, and he dared not easily seize power from Tang and Zhou.

"Show me the Kunning Palace, I'm going to see Concubine Shu."

"Your Majesty, a new batch of beauties have been sent to Yichun Hall."

Eunuch Sun said: "The Imperial Dining Room has also made Peiyuan Soup. An Gongbo's new prescription has added a few precious herbs, and it is very effective."

Since the father-in-law died, the errand of buying beauties fell into the hands of Eunuch Sun.

Speaking of the cause of Eunuch Yu's death, it is rumored that Eunuch Yu was resentful when he heard that Eunuch Wu had been granted the title of Marquis. He drank too much wine and accidentally fell into a well and drowned.

"Well……"

When Emperor Tianshun heard the word "beauty", he couldn't help thinking a lot, thinking that he would not be in a hurry to go to Kunning Palace, he could pamper the beauty first.

Knowing the taste of food marrow, people have endless desires.

Originally, Emperor Tianshun was not addicted to beauty, but was more diligent in reading and government affairs. Since playing songs every night, once he stopped, he felt extremely empty.

"Then go to Yichun Hall first!"

...

child time.

Kunning Palace.

side hall.

The woman with a big belly had a sudden abdominal pain, and the steady lady who was on call at any time stepped forward to check.

"Hurry up and report to the empress, she is about to give birth!"

Concubine Shu, who was sleeping soundly, hurried over when she heard the news. Seeing the woman bleeding a lot, she asked with concern: "Is the emperor okay?"

Wen Po knelt down and said: "The amniotic fluid is broken, and the childbirth is about to happen. The prince is fine."

"That's good."

Concubine Shu called for her personal maid, Luyu, gave some instructions in a low voice, then turned and left the side hall.

Lu Yu dismissed all the maids and servants, leaving only Wen Po: "The empress ordered, for the sake of the stability of the country, the prince can only have one mother."

Wen Po understood clearly, and said: "Women's childbirth is a hell, and accidents are normal, but Your Majesty's side..."

Luyu said: "This woman is a furnace. Your Majesty will ignore it after favoring her. You don't need to worry."

Wen Po bowed and said, "Obey."

The woman lying on the bed was sweating profusely when she heard the conversation between the two. She wanted to struggle to get up and escape, but felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

Shocked and painful, his eyes went dark and he passed out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wen said: "This lowly maid is really out of luck, and just happens to break her belly to get a son."

As he spoke, he took out the scissors, and there was a sound of the knife cutting flesh. The bloody scene made Lvyu retch again and again, and she took a few steps back, not daring to see it with her own eyes.

Just at this time.

A strange wind blew open the windows and extinguished the lights in the side hall.

"ah!"

Wen Po screamed in fright and threw the scissors behind her, lest she hurt the prince who had just been taken out.

soon.

The maid on duty outside the hall closed the windows and relit the candles. Under the light, the woman's body was cold, and a newborn baby was lying between her legs.

Granny Wen glanced at the baby's umbilical cord, which had already been cut in a hurry. She was suspicious because she was clearly about to cut it just now.

Fortunately, the wrinkled skin was indeed a newborn baby.

Luyu asked, "Is it the prince or the princess?"

Wen Po stepped forward to check carefully, and congratulated, "Prince, it's Prince."

Afterwards, the baby was washed in a jade basin, wiped clean and wrapped in a bright yellow blanket. The green jade carefully hugged the baby and congratulated Concubine Shu.

As for the woman who died on the bed, there will be a servant to clean it up without leaving even a trace of blood.

main hall.

Concubine Shu received the baby, her face couldn't help the joy.

"Look at this little face, it's exactly the same as His Majesty's, and he will definitely inherit the throne in the future!"

"Your Majesty, the servant has something to report."

Luyu talked about the strange wind that blew out the lamp, and said: "The servant girl clearly saw that the umbilical cord was not broken before the lamp was extinguished, but when the candle was lit again, it broke by itself."

"There is such a thing!"

Concubine Shu stared at the baby for a long time, and she really didn't look like Emperor Tianshun, but once it was found out that someone had secretly replaced the prince, even she would have to die.

"Luyu, come closer, I have something to tell you."

"My lady, please tell me."

Luyu has been serving Concubine Shu personally for several years, so she does not doubt that he is there, but as soon as she gets close, she only feels a sharp pain in her abdomen.

Concubine Shu held the baby in her left hand, and inserted the poisonous dagger into Lvyu's stomach with her right hand.

"I only want to be the empress, the empress dowager. As for who the prince is, I don't care!"
