Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Boom!

The sound of explosions resounded in the sky over the capital, and the bright flames that blew up had illuminated half of the night sky.

At the same time, ordinary people in the capital went out of their homes one after another, watching this strange phenomenon.

At first, they thought there was thunder in the sky, but when they looked up, it was a clear sky. When they saw the red glow in the sky, they all showed surprised expressions on their faces.

"The moon is so bright, it must not be raining, so what kind of sound did you hear just now?"

"What the **** happened here?"

When the people in the capital were puzzled, Li Suide was immersed in joy.

This is his first time experimenting with brass cannonballs. This kind of power is similar to that of a cannonball made of gold. In terms of range, how much higher is the efficiency?

"Report!"

A soldier hurried to Li Suide's side, bowed and saluted: "Sir Qi, the place where the shells fell is ten thousand steps away, congratulations, sir!"

"okay!"

Li Suide smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I can go to the palace to meet the sage."

......

In the Cining Palace, many people were talking about the emperor's rewards and punishments for courtiers.

But Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care about that.

These days, she is busy with another thing she cares about, she is going to draft for the emperor among the beauties in the world.

Bai Xue has already entered Chuxiu Palace, so the harem can't have only one concubine, right?

In this Ming Dynasty, the most important thing at present is the inheritance of Long Si.

The Empress Dowager Zhang had already apologized to Emperor Hongzhi. She felt that she was a little sorry for the ancestors and ancestors by leaving only one son and one daughter to Hongzhi.

But Emperor Hongzhi only loves her as a woman for life, and there is no way out.

Now, as the empress dowager, the most important thing she considers at the moment is to hold her grandson.

Of course, only this one thing can prove her existence, otherwise, the whole harem would seem a lot deserted.

The emperor has not yet married, and the empress has not yet been established. As the mother of the country, she should take care of the emperor's lifelong affairs.

Inside the Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhang invited someone early in the morning, and that was her younger brother, Zhang Heling.

With him, and his daughter Zhang Xuan.

"Zhang Xuan has seen his aunt."

This is not the first time Zhang Xuan has entered the palace. She has come here many times before, and she is so familiar with everything here. In the huge harem, there is only Queen Zhang as a concubine.

Of course, Emperor Hongzhi also gave Zhang Heling a license plate, that is, he can enter and leave the palace freely.

This is the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang. In the whole court and opposition, there are not many people with this privilege.

"My brother, I have seen the queen mother."

Zhang Heling came over. Before this, the palace was the same as his home, but now it is different. This time, he had to report to the emperor before he could enter with this privilege.

Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem at will, unless the imperial power permits.

Zhu Houzhao was worried that the empress dowager missed Emperor Hongzhi too much, so he also allowed Zhang Heling to enter the palace.

"A few days ago, I let you enter the palace, why did you delay it for so long?" Empress Dowager Zhang asked.

"Oh, there's something to be delayed."

Zhang Heling was embarrassed to say it, for fear of hurting her sister's good mood.

Come to take the words of the current cabinet chief and assistant, and want to follow the tail, what is he, a national uncle who only relies on relationships?

And recently, Zhang Heling is arranging a marriage for her daughter. For such a big girl, she has to arrange a good family.

"Dad, you are talking nonsense."

Zhang Xuan said bluntly: "It is obviously that my father is waiting for my cousin's approval before entering the palace."

Zhang Heling glared at Zhang Xuan, this girl was spoiled by her sister.

"It's okay!"

Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand and looked at her niece Zhang Xuan.

"I grew up watching this child, Xuan'er, come here."

"Ai's family asks you one thing, are you willing to enter the palace and be the queen of my Ming Dynasty?"

After the Queen Mother's words, Zhang Heling broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhang Xuan blinked his big eyes.

"To be the empress of the Ming Dynasty?"

She never thought about it.

In other words, she never thought about marrying her cousin at all.

However, when she thought about it, she immediately understood what her aunt meant. No wonder she was allowed to enter the palace again and again, and she had to go to the back garden. The most important thing was that every time she went to the back garden, her cousin was there.

Who in this world doesn't want to be a queen?

Zhang Heling stood in the Cining Palace, sweating profusely.

To be queen? It just terrified him, it was something he could hardly even think about.

It turns out that my sister secretly arranged for Xuan'er to enter the palace several times.

Thinking of this, Zhang Heling secretly rejoiced that he was fortunate that he did not marry his daughter to the Wang family.

Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it for a while, then called out to the door: "Wang Lu."

"Internal minister Wang Lu, I have seen the queen mother, my uncle, and Miss Xuan." Wang Lu walked in, bowed and bowed, looking very polite.

"Take Xuan'er to see the emperor."

"According to the order!"

Wang Lu took Zhang Xuan and quickly left the Cining Palace.

Zhang Heling looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he asked boldly, "Sister, do you want Xuan'er to enter the palace?"

"Yes, Not Bad."

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said, "It's just cheap that bastard."

"No, no, it's her luck that Xuan'er can enter the palace~www.wuxiahere.com~ I won't suffer at all."

Zhang Heling clicked to the end.

"Really, do you agree with Xuan'er to enter the palace?"

Zhang Heling nodded quickly and said, "My younger brother agrees, and my younger brother agrees!"

Of course he is eager to marry the emperor, that is the common wish of girls all over the world.

Of course, for him, if he were to marry his daughter to be today's son, then his status, from the current state uncle, would be transformed into a state husband, what kind of prestige it would be.

"Aijia is still a little worried."

"Queen Mother, what are you worried about?" Zhang Heling changed his name immediately. In his mind, he didn't want to offend anyone, so he wanted to crawl on the ground and be a servant to the Queen Mother.

"I'm worried about the court. The big ministers in the cabinet are now in control of the government, and they are completely in an empty state for the emperor. Besides, they have recently eliminated their dissidents one after another. This force can be said to be the biggest trouble at the moment."

Zhang Heling heard the words, stroked his beard, thought about the question carefully, and said, "What does the queen mother mean?"

"Yes, what Ai's family means is to choose a few more concubines for Zhao'er in this world."

"Among these thousands of beauties, if Xuan'er is not favored, she will always be the most favorite concubine of the Ai family. In that case, our status will never fall."

"Let's inform you that our Zhang family's clan members, there are people who are suitable for the age and beautiful, and they are all ready to enter the palace. Also, you are outside the palace, and you have searched for beautiful women all over the world, and they all come to the palace for me."

"My brother obeys!"

"Also, don't fool Ai's family, let some traitorous people infiltrate, then you will have to bear it,"

"My brother understands."

Zhang Heling immediately accepted the matter.
