I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 25 Invitation
Capital, Yan Mansion.

"Father, everything is over."

After Yan Shifan came back from Jinyiwei Prison, he went straight into Yan Song's study to report.

"Then did he say anything?" Yan Song looked away from the book, raised his cloudy eyes, and asked.

Yan Shifan didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately recounted the conversation between himself and Zhao Wenhua in Jinyi Weizhao Prison to Yan Song.

"I see, you go down first, let's go through the motions when the cabinet meeting is held tomorrow, and sentence him to death!"

"Yes, father." Yan Shifan cupped his hands and wanted to leave.

"By the way, his family must make arrangements." When Yan Shifan was about to step out of the study, Yan Song suddenly added.

"Yes."

……

And for King Yu Zhu Zaiyi (ji), tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. His beloved concubine Li Shi is nine months pregnant, and tonight is the day of giving birth.

King Yu anxiously paced around outside the room, and wanted to take a look through the window from time to time, but was stopped by the servants.

"His Royal Highness Yu Wang, please relax your mind. The princess is gentle and honest on weekdays. She often goes to help the poor, and she will be fine. We have invited the best midwives in the capital to the Yu Wang Mansion. In addition, Li Taiyi from the Imperial Hospital is also in another room Waiting on her, she will definitely protect the princess and the child well."

Seeing that King Yu was so restless, the steward of Prince Yu's Mansion couldn't help but comfort him.

"You're right, Gu is a little too nervous, you should relax." After Yu Wang said, he took a deep breath, trying to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

For Zhu Zaiku, the child born to Concubine Li tonight will be an important reliance for him to stand up in the future. It has been two years since Tao Zhongwen, a Taoist priest under Emperor Jiajing, put forward the idea that "two dragons must not meet each other". He hadn't seen each other at all, and even when he came to say hello during the holidays, Jiajing tried not to meet him as much as possible.

If his own child is born, his father will definitely come, and at that time, he will collect some favorability points in front of his father, leaving his younger brother Jing Wang far behind, and completely confirming the position of the crown prince.

At this moment, the door of Concubine Li's labor was pushed open, and a maid came out with a golden basin, the hot water in which had been stained red.

Seeing this, King Yu hurriedly called out to him: "How is the lonely concubine?"

The maid put the golden basin aside and saluted respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Yu, everything is going well."

"Okay, you go down first."

When King Yu heard this, the restlessness in his heart was swept away, replaced by strong expectations.

And just when Yu Wang was eagerly looking forward to it, there was a burst of crying from the room. Hearing this, Yu Wang couldn't help shouting excitedly, as if he was going to rush in: "It's born, it's born! What happened to the lonely concubine?" ?”

After a while, Yu Wang finally saw his child.

The midwife smiled and handed the child in her arms to King Yu, and said, "Congratulations King Yu, mother and child are safe, this is a big fat boy!"

King Yu awkwardly took the baby from the midwife, seeing the wrinkled skin of the baby in his arms and the crying sound from time to time, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, I have an orphaned son! I have an orphaned son! "

King Yu handed the baby back to the midwife, walked up to Concubine Li, bent down, held Concubine Ai's hand tightly, and said affectionately, "Concubine Ai, we have a baby."

At this time, Mrs. Li was still in a state of exhaustion, with a pale complexion, and said with a smile: "Yes, we have a child, show me the child."

After Concubine Li finished speaking, the midwife put the baby beside her, seeing the baby's peaceful sleeping posture, Concubine Li's face was full of love.

"His Royal Highness, the princess has just given birth to a child, and her vitality is seriously injured, and she needs to recuperate."

Doctor Li, who was called by King Yu, took his pulse and reminded him aloud.

"Oh, that's right! Get out, get out."

"I want to reward you all! You can go to the housekeeper to receive the reward later."

Before walking out of the room, King Yu looked at the people in the room and said.

"Thank you, King Yu!"

Hearing that King Yu said that there is a generous reward, everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly returned the gift.

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, Prince Yu's concubine Li Shi is born!"

Lu Fang looked at Emperor Jiajing in front of him, and said respectfully.

"Oh, did you give birth? Did you give birth to a grandson or a granddaughter?"

Jiajing sat on the futon. After hearing Lu Fang's words, Jiajing slowly opened his eyes and asked with great interest.

"Your Majesty, according to Doctor Li of the Imperial Hospital, it seems to be a boy."

"Okay, it looks like I have to go there tomorrow!" Jiajing said with a smile on his face.

The same situation also happened in various officials' homes in the capital, and servants came in and out from time to time.

"My lord, Li Shi, the concubine of King Yu, has given birth to a son!"

"Hurry up and prepare a generous gift and send it to Prince Yu's Mansion tomorrow!"

"Quickly go and find out what hobbies King Yu has."

Tonight, no one sleeps.

……

"For the crime committed by Zhao Wenhua, according to my Ming law, the death penalty should be imposed! Do you have any other opinions?" Yan Song closed the file and looked at the others.

After Yan Song finished speaking, no one in the entire cabinet replied, it was very quiet, and even Gao Gong, who was the most restless in the past, frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Old Xu Ge? Do you think this should be the case?" Yan Song looked at Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet where the old god was, and asked aloud.

"Oh, no problem, that's it." Xu Jie who was called by Yan Song suddenly came back to his senses, and answered a few words perfunctorily.

"Then since none of you have any opinions, then so be it."

Compared with how to deal with Zhao Wenhua, everyone was more concerned about another matter—whether they should go to Prince Yu's Mansion to congratulate him.

Early in the morning, the housekeeper of King Yu's Mansion sent invitations to many officials, and the officials who received the invitations were happy for a moment, and soon realized a serious problem. If they didn't go, they would offend King Yu If you are not happy, if you go, you may make the emperor unhappy.

It has been more than two years since King Yu and the current Holy Majesty have seen each other, and their feelings will inevitably become unfamiliar. If they go there rashly, they may offend His Majesty, and they will not be able to eat in the future!Your Majesty hasn't made a statement yet?What does it mean that you, a courtier, go first?If you don't go, what will you do if King Yu inherits the Datong in the future and turns over the old scores?
Moreover, those who can receive invitations from Prince Yu's Mansion are all high-ranking and powerful people, so how could they rush into this treacherous political vortex?So many ministers chose the same trick one after another—dragging!

Deliver the gift of congratulations early, but not reach the person, try to be impartial and neutral.

"Today's duty is coming to an end, everyone come up with a way, whether to go or not?"

Xu Jie, who had been "hanging up" all day, finally couldn't help but speak. He looked at his colleagues in the cabinet and said.

"I think it's better not to go. Since ancient times, few people who got involved in the affairs of the royal family have a good end, as long as the ceremony comes!" Yan Shifan frowned and said.

"I agree with Elder Xiaoge's opinion." Gao Gong, who has always been keen to contradict Yan Shifan, also agreed.

"Wait a little longer, at most we will live here tonight." Yan Song stood up tremblingly, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Oh, just wait a little longer, maybe His Majesty will go to Prince Yu's Mansion later." Zhang Juzheng put down the memorial that had already been corrected in his hand, and sighed.

"Really, I don't know why King Yu sent us invitations? Isn't this putting us in a dilemma!"

And the officials of the various ministries outside also had the same thoughts. As night fell, the six ministries and the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty were still brightly lit.
