Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Such a Ming Dynasty will not be stable if it is not ruthless!

Zhu Youxiao knows this exactly, so his attitude towards many things has always been very clear. He will not be pardoned if he can kill, he will not be released if he can be caught, and he will be copied if he can be. Anyone who dares to confront him will have a different fate. Think better of it!

Cutting the grass without removing the roots is a taboo!

Zhu Youxiao couldn't do anything about being indecisive.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was thinking about solving the chaos in the court, something happened suddenly, but Zhu Youxiao had no intention of paying attention to the court.

Pregnant Concubine Rong Ren is in labor!

Even though Zhu Youxiao didn't go to the harem many times and mostly stayed in Kunning Palace to rest, Zhu Youxiao paid great attention to Concubine Rong and the Ren family.

What Zhu Youxiao paid attention to was not Concubine Rong and Ren, but the heir she was carrying!

The longer Zhu Youxiao stays in this position, the more he understands the importance of heirs to the emperor under the autocratic rule of imperial power!

This is by no means as simple as passing on the family line! !

The sun is high in the sky.

The sky is blue.

Dense clouds.

From time to time, a few birds flew through the air, and it seemed that a pleasant atmosphere would envelope the place. However, at that time, there was an atmosphere of tension hanging over the harem!

"hurry up!"

"Go and boil water!"

In the palace where Concubine Rong and Ren lived, the eunuchs and maids came in and out, holding things with quick movements. Concubine Rong and Ren's childbirth was by no means a big event for the entire harem.

Since the emperor Yuji ascended the throne, there have been princes and princesses in the harem, but none of them have grown up.

The eldest son Zhu Ciran was born stillborn, the eldest concubine Zhu Ciyan died at an early age, the eldest concubine Zhu Shu'e died at the age of two, and the second concubine Zhu Shuyu died at the age of one. These were absolutely forbidden in the inner court, and no one dared to mention them in front of the emperor. .

However, there are many rumors among the government and the public.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, none of the princes and daughters he gave birth to grew up strong and healthy. This was a huge blow to the emperor.

This is equivalent to holding the country and the country, and there is no one who can pass it on.

Yes.

If one's own branch has no heirs, he can choose from nearby blood relatives, but for Zhu Youxiao, then his branch is completely extinct.

The undercurrent behind this is immeasurable.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong has her own destiny. She will definitely give birth to the emperor's heir smoothly!" In the Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang Yan was sitting uneasily. Seeing that the emperor was silent, she looked outside the palace to see if she could see him. When someone heard the good news, he stood up and said to Zhu Youxiao.

"I know."

Seeing Zhang Yan like this, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

It is indeed very nervous at this time. After all, Concubine Rong and Ren are at least ten days ahead of schedule, which makes the doctors at the Imperial Hospital all nervous.

When Zhu Youxiao was reorganizing the inner court, he actually did something secretly, that is, he was reorganizing the Taiyuan Hospital. All quack doctors who showed their appearance were all expelled from the Taiyuan Hospital, and strict new rules were even formulated in the Taiyuan Hospital. The reason for this new system is that Zhu Youxiao took precautions in the bud.

It is true that he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he is also a mortal body. He needs to eat when he is hungry, drink water when he is thirsty, sleep when he is sleepy, and seek medical treatment when he is sick. In view of some things that happened in the Ming Dynasty before, Zhu Youxiao must Nip hidden dangers in the bud and avoid bad things from happening.

The Tai Hospital was completely reorganized. If this matter were normal, it would have caused a commotion. After all, many of the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital had inherited their duties. When the emperor came up and dismissed so many imperial doctors, there was no guarantee that some people would not be affected. Think of something.

However, at that time, the government was in turmoil, especially since Admiral Fang Zhenghua's Western Police Department was frequently dispatched to either arrest or kill people, so no one would pay attention to the hospital.

This has also completely changed the current Tai Hospital!

"It's strange to say that I am a concubine."

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking, Zhang Yan looked worried and said: "In the past few months, Concubine Rong has been neglecting her food and drink. As a queen, I should pay more attention to her. If this is the case, Rong Concubine The concubine will not go into labor early."

"How can I blame you?"

Seeing Zhang Yan like this, Zhu Youxiao said with relief: "You have done enough. As far as I know, Concubine Rong's application in the palace has almost caught up with Kunning Palace, right?"

"not enough."

After hearing this, Zhang Yan said: "The imperial heir that Concubine Rong is pregnant with is your Majesty's dragon seed. If she can give birth to full term, her body will be strong, but now..."

When she said this, Zhang Yan choked up and her eyes turned red.

This reminds me of Prince Huaichong.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao couldn't figure out why Zhang Yan was like this.

"Don't cry, don't cry."

Zhu Youxiao stood up and reached out to take Zhang Yan into his arms, "When Concubine Rong gives birth to the emperor's heir safely, I will leave it to the queen to raise her, and everything will be over."

"Your Majesty, is this unfair to Concubine Rong?"

Zhang Yan'e frowned slightly, raised her head and looked at Zhu Youxiao and said: "After all, I am pregnant in ten months, and I know the hard work involved. If Concubine Rong is because of this..."

Still too kind-hearted.

Zhu Youxiao sighed softly in his heart. He knew some things, but he couldn't say. The reason why Concubine Rong Ren did not think about tea and food during this period was related to Hakka's sudden death. directly related.

Why is this happening?

This also involves the dragon species that Concubine Rong is pregnant with. If the Hakka family hadn't been secretly helping her, it would have been impossible for Concubine Rong and the Ren family to be favored by Zhu Youxiao.

As for what consensus the two of them had reached in private, no one knew after the sudden death of the Hakka family.

Don't blame Zhu Youxiao for being cruel, there are some things that cannot be ignored!

Not to mention that in the original timeline, Concubine Rong and Ren also did something. When the national calamity of Jiashen came, she took advantage of the chaos to escape from the palace. After the fall of the country, she pretended to be the martyred Queen Yi'an, that is, Zhang Yan, She is deceitful and deceptive. For such a scheming woman, how could Zhu Youxiao let the only royal heir be handed over to her to raise?

"This matter is settled and cannot be discussed."

Zhu Youxiao said with a serious expression: "The heir I will give birth to will be my second son!!"

"Your Majesty~"

When Zhang Yan heard this, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

She knew what it meant.

She gave birth to her eldest son, but he was stillborn. Because of this incident, she was hit hard and her body was damaged, making it difficult for her to become pregnant again in the future.

When the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, there were always direct descendants and no direct descendants!

If the imperial heir born to Concubine Rong Ren is adopted into the name of Queen Zhang Yan, then not only will Zhang Yan's position as queen no longer be threatened, but the imperial heir's status will also be extremely stable.

Another meaning of being clearly the second son is the memory of Zhu Ciran, the eldest son.

Regarding the succession to the throne, Zhu Youxiao never thought that it was good to establish a virtuous person. What is a virtuous person?

If more people say it, then they are truly virtuous?

This is not necessarily!

The clear rule that there are direct descendants and no direct descendants actually reduces unnecessary fights in a sense.

In the face of power, no one is immune.

What's more, what about the inheritance of imperial power?

So some things must be done to the extreme.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty!!"

But at this moment, Liu Ruoyu was running excitedly outside Kunning Palace. Before he could reach Kunning Palace, a voice shouted over him, "It's the emperor's heir! It's the emperor's heir!!!"
