When the emperor came to Kunning Palace, he did not let the palace servants inform him. The palace servants were used to it, so he bowed silently and knelt down and let the emperor go straight to the bedroom.

Queen Zhang Yan is already full of belly, but she is more orthodox. If she knew that the emperor had arrived, she would definitely come to welcome her.

After a regular consultation every ten days, the female doctor Yang Hanyi was a full-time doctor for pregnant concubines such as the queen, and it was also a good news to the emperor.

Although the emperor had made up his mind to establish talented people and not take legitimate and illegitimate children as the key, no one told him about this.

Moreover, if the queen gave birth to a boy, it is completely indecisive whether it meets the emperor's requirements when she grows up. Therefore, there is no need to say, and no need to say about the emperor.

When he walked into the hall, the emperor took his steps lightly, and his majestic gaze gave the palace servants a clear sign, so that they could silence and not scream.

After staying in the outer room for a while, the cold air on his body dissipated, the emperor took off his cloak and walked into the inner room.

The queen took a nap on the couch, covering the curtains and couldn't see clearly. The heating in the palace was mostly changed to a fire wall and a fire kang, which was completely separated from the fire, and there was no smell of fireworks.

Burning a charcoal basin is both dangerous and costly. It is directly converted to burning coal, which saves a lot of money this winter.

Not only the palace, but also the people in the capital are using coal. They don’t burn the fire walls, and having an iron stove is much better than a charcoal brazier.

The emperor walked over gently, gently lifted the curtain, and saw that the queen was sleeping soundly, without disturbing her, she lay down with her clothes and closed her eyes.

There was a warm fragrance in the curtain, and the queen beside her emitted a gentle breath, and the quiet surroundings were reassuring. In just a while, the emperor became confused and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took to sleep before the emperor woke up, covered himself with a blanket, next to it was the queen’s smiling face.

"Pearl." The emperor called softly and reached out to touch the queen's face.

Zhang Yan held the emperor's hand and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't the palace servants inform you?"

The emperor pinched the queen's tenderness, and felt very comfortable like a baby, and smiled and said, "I told you that you don't need to accept the whole ceremony, and you don't follow the order."

"The courtesy cannot be abandoned." Zhang Yan paused for a moment and added: "Your Majesty is to me, so I will accept the car with half a tribute in the future?"

The emperor knew that Zhang Yan didn't want to continue to contradict him, and he also made him feel good, so he agreed.

After lying down and talking for a while, Zhang Yan suddenly said, "His Highness King Xin is getting older. Concubine Liu told me a few days ago that it is time to choose a concubine for him."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was already six years of Apocalypse. According to history, Zhu Youjian should have accepted the princess. Even if he handled it now, it was a lot late.

Concubine Liu was in charge of the Empress Dowager Seal, and Empress Zhang Yan was the sister-in-law of the King of Xin. The eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, and she organized a marriage for her brother-in-law, which was justified.

But when he thought of Zhu Youjian's marriage, the emperor frowned slightly and remembered the Empress Zhou of Chongzhen in history.

Empress Zhou seemed very wise in historical records, but her father was really unbearable, which made the emperor feel very uncomfortable.

Zhou Kui, the father of Empress Zhou, was originally a fortune teller on the streets of the capital. He was honored by his daughter and became the father-in-law of the current dynasty.

But although his daughter is well-educated and polite, Zhou Kui is extremely stingy, short-sighted, short-sighted, and has no idea of ​​the reason why her lips are lost and her teeth are cold.

In history, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, was so poor that he had no choice but to order the royal relatives and princes and ministers of the dynasty to donate property as military expenses.

But Zhou Kui did not give his daughter and son-in-law any face, indicating that there was no extra money at home and was poorer than Emperor Chongzhen.

Empress Zhou knew that Zhou Kui was keeping wealth as her fate, but she didn't expect that she was so stingy, so she brought Zhou Kuixuan into the palace and scolded her. Zhou Kui was helpless and had to take out five thousand taels of silver to help her salary.

Empress Zhou secretly sold gold and silver jewelry, in exchange for 5,000 taels of silver, and raised enough 10,000 taels for Zhou Kui, so as not to make other princes and ministers laugh at them.

But when Zhou Kui received the silver, he deducted two thousand taels from it and donated only eight thousand taels. In other words, he only received three thousand taels in the end.

In order to get through the situation, Zhou Kui also made the roof of his mansion dilapidated and went to court in patched clothes. But no one knows who? When the ministers in the court saw that the father-in-law was still like this, they all followed suit and took some money to deal with Chongzhen.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Zhou Kui also gave out three princes (the prince, the prince Yong, and the prince Ding) and the injured Princess Changping in exchange for his own glory and wealth.

But Li Zicheng was also short of money. After a cruel "todgement", Zhou Kui's wife and daughter-in-law hanged themselves and their son was tortured. Zhou Kui was almost beaten to death, and finally gave up and handed over the secret property.

The silver was as high as more than 500,000 taels, and there were "precious coins and hundreds of thousands". The wealth was empty, and Zhou Kui, the iron cock, was so angry that he was very angry that he soon thrust his legs and was left with only the infamous greed.

For Zhou Kui, money is everything about him. All countries, courts, daughters, and grandsons can be abandoned.

And for the emperor, how could such a shameless bastard give him a chance to become successful?

"Your Majesty—" Zhang Yan was a little confused. Why did the emperor frown and look unhappy? Don't he want to marry his brother?

The emperor's eyes rolled, and he woke up from his thoughts. He said, "Youjian's marriage is not urgent. You are heavy, don't work too hard."

Zhang Yan blinked her eyes and felt that the emperor seemed not just worried that she would work hard with her belly, but seemed to have other ideas about her brother's marriage.

The emperor didn't want to say much, and said that there was still government affairs to deal with, so he left Kunning Palace.

When we came, the sky was gloomy and now there were scattered snowflakes floating.

The emperor's face was also quite gloomy, and he had decided to intervene so as not to let Zhu Youjian get such a shameless father-in-law.

The snow is getting heavier and the north wind is getting colder.

Nuk, the young leader of the Zarut tribe, rode on his horse and looked up. The city of Guan was already vaguely visible in the distance, and his heart became a little nervous.

Lin Danhan sent troops to attack the Neikhalkha Alliance, forcing the troops of the Five Alliances to withdraw halfway and unable to continue to join forces with the Ming army to attack Jiannu.

After the five troops returned quickly, despite all their strength to fight, they still could not withstand the fierce attacks of the Chahar tribe.

Although they were not killed by the deceased tribe, many people and horses were killed and killed by the five tribes. Many tribes and large numbers of livestock were stolen by the Chahar tribe, which was greatly damaged.

Due to weather and other reasons, the army of the Chahar tribe retreated. However, the cold and heavy losses of the Neikhalk Alliance survived this winter, it became an imminent crisis.

Nuuk had a good relationship with the Ming army. Man Gui and Ma Chengfei also promised that the Zarut troops could temporarily avoid the Ming area in critical moments.
