For the harem, Zhu Xu has always felt that it is still 'streamlined'.
The harem of the Ming Dynasty has not been calm since the founding of the country, and it has become more and more violent and outrageous recently.
From Concubine Zheng to the Hakka family, Li Xuanshi, etc., the tragedy of the harem is not weaker than that of Liaodong, and it is definitely an inexhaustible book.
Zhu Xu didn't want to follow in this footsteps, and he just smiled at Empress Dowager Zhang's request.
There is Xiao Yongning on the table, the little girl is thirteen years old, she is a half-grown girl, she holds chopsticks, inserts them in the rice, and hums: "Man ......"
Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at her, the little girl pouted, and picked up chopsticks to pick up rice.
Empress Dowager Zhang turned to Zhu Xu, and said with a kind face: "I have already told the queen about this matter, Bumu Butai will try to stay in the palace as much as possible, you have a snack, don't continue to be willful......"
Zhu Xu stiffened his head, and was just about to speak, when a palace maid suddenly ran in and said urgently: "Niangniang, the emperor, the concubine, the concubine ......."
Zhu Xu and Empress Dowager Zhang's faces changed, they glanced at each other, then quickly got up and ran to Renshou Palace.
The old lady is not in good health, and the harem has been worried recently.
When Zhu Xu arrived, a group of people in Renshou Palace were holding their breath, and in front of Concubine Liu's sickbed, an old lady doctor was still calling the pulse.
Zhu Xu and the others came in quietly, all poking their heads out and looking inside.
The people in the harem are basically here, with solemn faces and worried faces.
On the bed, the old lady's face was haggard, her lips were squirming, as if she was muttering to herself, giving people a feeling of extreme powerlessness.
Zhu Xu poked his head out, looked at the old lady's expression, and didn't dare to say more.
Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu and others stood behind Zhu Xu, watching from afar, nervous.
After a long time, the imperial doctor turned around and raised his hand to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu's heart had already raised his throat, and he said in a low voice: "How is it?"
” The imperial doctor raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's only been a day or two." ” The old lady has been in danger for many days, but this time, Zhu Xu feels that it is true.
His heart was heavy, he waved his hand, and stepped forward.
The old lady lay there, occasionally speaking, but she was already on the verge of dying, and she couldn't hear what she was saying.
Empress Dowager Zhang stepped forward and sighed softly: "Don't be too sad, although the old lady was confused before, she also said that the aftermath should be as simple as possible, don't make a big deal, and don't be buried with the ancestors, she doesn't have that qualification......"
Zhu Xu nodded, sat on the edge of the old lady's bed, took the old lady's hand, and his past with the old lady quickly appeared in front of him.
This is a wise and kind old man, I don't know how much help he has for him, for the harem, the old man who used to be in good spirits and laughed loudly, now lying here, can't give any reaction.
Zhu Xubei started from his heart, his eyes were sour, and he couldn't help but shed tears.
Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yun and others were more sensitive, and they sobbed one after another.
Zhu Xu and the others kept watch until midnight.
The old lady had been lying there, seemingly a little back to light, and occasionally she could open her eyes, but she didn't react to the outside world at all, and she couldn't speak.
Zhu Xu didn't deal with things for a long time, and the cabinet also reacted.
Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong, King Jing and others gathered together, and after talking about business, they talked about the harem.
"The emperor has been in Renshou Palace for most of the day, and the old lady is afraid that it will not work."
Fu Changzong shook his head and sighed.
King Jing said: "Yes, the emperor hasn't seen anyone for most of the day, presumably this time it's true."
The Ministry of Rites is already preparing ......"
Sun Chuanting said: "Later, we will go to meet Elder Bi Ge, and put together the recent things, so don't bother the emperor." ” Several people nodded, and Fu Changzong suddenly said: "I heard that Jiangzuo's side has a lot of resistance to commercial taxes?"
” Sun Chuanting's face was solemn, and he said, "Well, the imperial court and the local government do not have enough understanding of this, the cabinet will also issue a document urging the local government to increase its implementation, and the State Administration of Taxation must also establish authority, commercial taxation is now an important part of the national treasury, and there can be no slackness now, and no one can be an obstacle!"
” Fu Changzong groaned: "After the August hunt, I plan to go to Nanzhili and put pressure on them. ” Although the local high-level has been overhauled, the local stubborn forces, especially the grassroots level, are still huge and deep-rooted, and there are few resistances to the money and grain involved.
Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Yes."
I'll go to Liaodong in a few days, and now Liaodong can be self-sufficient, and there are some places that don't worry. ” King Jing listened and did not interject.
Now the affairs of the Ming Dynasty are complicated, everyone is lacking in skills, and it is normal for the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministers to go out of Beijing at every turn.
The next day, before dawn, the palace suddenly rang a bell, dull and melancholy.
Counting the bells, the whole palace knew that this was the death knell, and a noble person in the palace had passed away.
Several members of the cabinet were all there, and after a while, they all got up, changed their clothes, and asked for a decree to enter the inner court.
Zhu Xu, Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yun and others were very sad, sitting in the side hall, watching the inner prison, Gong E and others coming in and out, dull and depressed.
For a long time, Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhang Yun and others persuaded Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll sit for a while, tell the outer court, don't come in, the old lady's last wish, the funeral is very simple, don't bother a lot, save everything in the province." ” It was the first time Cao Huachun had seen Zhu Xu so sad, so he responded silently and withdrew.
The palace quickly held a funeral, because of filial piety, the palace became silent, and even the entire capital seemed to be silent.
It's only a little better in July, and the palace is a little lively.
Kunning Palace, Xiao Shuxian, Xiao Ciye, Xiao Cixuan, and Xiao Ciyi were frolicking, Zhang Yun, Li Jieyu, Hai Lanzhu, and Bumu Butai were sitting on the side and laughing.
Zhang Yun and Hai Lanzhu are eight months pregnant, and both of them have big bellies and talk to Li Jieyu, Bumu Butai and others.
The little ones are all three or four years old, can run and jump, can talk and laugh, and mess around in the palace, and no one can cure them.
Zhu Xu came in from outside, a few little guys took a look, and you hugged me and ran to the other side cheering.
Zhang Yun and the others hurriedly got up to salute and said, "The concubines see the emperor." ” Zhu Xu smiled and glanced at a few people, and said, "It's all free of courtesy, sit down, and we are all dining in Kunning Palace today." ” The four of them listened, and they all answered softly.
Zhu Xu greeted, came to the warm pavilion, sat on the soft collapse, looked at several people with a slight sweat, thought about it, and said with a smile: "The Yunwu Mountain outside the city is warm in winter and cool in summer, clean up after a while, move over, and come back after birth." ” Zhang Yun and Hai Lanzhu hurriedly got up and said, "Concubine Xie Emperor." ” Zhu Xu looked at a group of people and sighed: "The concubine has passed away, we all have to keep filial piety, and the matter of accepting the concubine will be slow."
Queen, Hai Lanzhu will go to Yunwu Mountain, Bumu Butai, stay for a few more days, you can go back, just count the etiquette. ”
