Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

That afternoon, the final decree was issued.

The concubine Shu was thrown into the cold palace, and the little princess recorded her name as a concubine. The rest of the participants, including those who were slaves of the royal family, were directly killed with a stick from the inner court, while those who were free citizens were taken to the government office and carried out specific trials according to the law.

Those who deserve to die are those who deserve to be exiled and imprisoned.

As for Concubine Shu's natal family, who must have participated and helped, because after all, they were not only Concubine Shu's natal family, but also the Queen Mother's natal family. Naturally, it was difficult to conduct a thorough investigation and conviction, so in the end they just issued an order and reprimanded her.

In addition, the matters of conferring a queen title to Concubine De and promoting Concubine De's natal family to the title of Duke Cheng'en were also being worked on.

But I'm just making preparations for now.

The specific details will have to wait until Concubine De is born.

Of course, regarding the noise coming from Concubine De's delivery room yesterday, everyone said it was caused by a cat demon, and they are also being investigated intensively. At the same time, some palace maids and eunuchs could not bear the torture and admitted that they were lying.

It's just because they identify different objects.

Some said it was the midwife who did it, some said it was a certain female official or a certain nun. In short, this matter became even more confusing.

Even I thought what they said was true.

The leader of the Dragon Guard who does indeed exist as a cat demon.

I'm confused now.

In the end, he could only find a midwife who was bribed by a concubine, a raccoon cat for a prince, and destined to die as a scapegoat.

The entire case was thoroughly characterized and settled.

At the same time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the clan, and the Taikang Emperor themselves completely turned their attention away from this matter, and began to debate whether the emperor's eldest son should be named early, recorded on the jade plate, or even Yu was canonized as the crown prince to stabilize the country and so on.

The core of the dispute is not whether the emperor's eldest son is qualified or not. He is definitely qualified. After all, although the emperor's eldest son is not the eldest son now, he is indeed the emperor's only son. After a while, his mother will also be promoted to queen.

There is no problem at all in saying that he is the eldest son.

Then it is natural to make him the prince.

The main point of the argument between the ministers and the clan was that the emperor's eldest son had just been born and was still young. He had to wait until he was four, five or ten years old before he could be crowned prince.

After all, to put it bluntly, it is difficult to say whether the little prince can survive and how old he can live. After all, the infant mortality rate is quite high these days.

This seems to be especially true for the royal family.

For example, the late emperor gave birth to a total of seven princes and eleven princesses. Among them, only one prince survived to adulthood, and only three princesses survived to get married. Later, one died of illness and one died of dystocia. The living consort died young and had no children.

Who wouldn't be frightened to see this survival rate?

Also, His Majesty has not had children before. It has been 14 years since his wedding at the age of 15, and it has been more than ten years since he took the throne. In the past few years, one was born, one died, or he had a miscarriage before he was born. After another three or four years, none of the concubines became pregnant at all. The emperor probably nursed her back to health for a few years and conducted another draft before another concubine became pregnant in the palace. In three years, about seven concubines became pregnant with dragon fetuses one after another.

In the end, only five were successfully born.

Four died before the age of three.

Before Concubine Shu and Concubine De had children, Emperor Taikang had only one daughter, Princess Tianshou.

By the way, the queen also died due to dystocia during pregnancy two years ago. In her belly were twin princes who died before they were born. And this mortality rate and child mortality rate can really be called a palace battle royale.

The impact of the death of a prince in infancy is obviously different from the impact of the death of a prince in infancy. After all, the prince is the heir apparent. It would be better not to establish a prince. If he is established, it will be the foundation of the country. The death of the foundation of the country will undoubtedly bring turmoil to the court.

Although the ministers and the clan also hope that the eldest son of Emperor Taikang can survive and be healthy and healthy for decades, and inherit the throne, the succession of the throne will be smoothly transitioned, and they will not have to take sides or be forced to compete for the throne. If you succeed, if you fail, the nine tribes will lose their happiness.

But the mortality rate and premature death rate of the royal family.

Makes it really hard for them to have confidence.

They originally hoped that the queen could safely give birth to the twin eldest princes, but was it useful?

Therefore, most ministers believe that the top priority is to let the emperor's eldest son grow up healthily. It may not be possible to grant him a crown prince at such an early age. People also pay attention to giving their children a nickname, so they generally hope to give them a nickname first. If the eldest son of the emperor is given a cheap name, there is no need for the prince to rush to give it a title.

After the emperor's eldest son lives up to the age of four in good health.

Then enter the name into the royal family tree.

When you are around ten years old, you can be crowned a prince. At this time, you can also choose a princess or something. It will be more secure to decide on the choice in two or three years, and then get married at the age of 14.

The most important thing is that this is what the late emperor did, and Emperor Taikang himself followed this set of procedures.

This is actually equivalent to learning from the past.

It is reasonable for Baiguan to request this.

It can even be said that it is really for the sake of the eldest son of the emperor.

After three days of debate, Emperor Taikang finally compromised. Although establishing the crown prince can eliminate some public discussions, it can also make some people feel that he has no son. They may still have hope of being adopted by the clan, but if If the prince dies in infancy, all the trouble will undoubtedly turn into a farce.

The most important thing now is the most important thing.

Let his eldest son grow up healthily.

If possible, create a few more princes and the like.

Therefore, the matter of establishing a prince was put on hold for the time being, and the eldest son of the emperor did not even have a name.

It's just a nickname of pig.

I hope the nickname will bless him with good health.

During this period, Qu Jie has been hiding in her portable cave while exercising and improving her physical fitness through physical training techniques such as Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound.

While carefully observing their operations.

The result undoubtedly disappointed Qu Jie.

Except at the beginning, because Qu Jie suddenly spoke in the form of a cat and was frightened by the threat, and he cared about the dead cats, no one cared about him after that.

The cat bones dug up were used to fertilize the fields.

Cat skins were even stolen and sold.

The only one who did something a little bit was probably the Right Prime Minister Dou Xiao. He was in a low mood after returning. The next day, he went to the nearby City God's Temple to donate some incense money, and at the same time wrote an official letter to the Prime Minister to inform the City God. The general meaning is that I hope that the local city god will see the official document I wrote, and for the sake of being the prime minister of the human dynasty, he will treat the dead civet cats better and arrange a good reincarnation.

After that, he also took a hundred taels of silver and sent his servants to the gathering places of some stray cats to feed the weak, old, young or disabled stray cats.

By the way, record the quantity every day.

If you find that more than two digits of stray cats suddenly disappear, you must investigate and tell them.

I have to say, others are pretty good at it.

But these do not affect Qu Jie's determination to take revenge.
