There was no war in the northwest, and Xie Qian was very confident when he said this because he really thought so.

However, when Xie Qian thought about the large number of Tatar soldiers and horses in the northwest were missing, he felt a little upset, so he did not say enough, and only said, "There is nothing to do in the northwest for the time being." In this way, even if there are major changes in the future, he could still get out of it. This was what he realized after experiencing many accidents.

Xie Qian doesn't want to make the same mistake again.

With Xie Qian's words, it is easier for others to follow. Since there is no war in the northwest, the capital of the capital can be more lightly protected. The soldiers and horses in the northwest can gradually recover the lost land, and even in a few days, the martial law in the capital can be lifted...

Every courtier thinks about things better, and naturally there are people like Ma Wensheng who are meticulous, who think that the Tatars may just be resting for a while and are gathering troops.

However, Ma Wensheng agreed with Xie Qian's previous analysis that the Tatars were not as powerful as the Oirats and were invincible. Although the Ming Dynasty experienced the defeat of Yulin Wei, the central army did not suffer much damage. Liu Daxia was in charge of the northwest, and Chenxi reinforcements were also stationed in Juyong Pass. It was unlikely that the Tatars would break through the inner Great Wall and invade the Ming Dynasty's capital.

So Ma Wensheng did not make any trouble at this time, because Emperor Hongzhi was incompatible with his illness and his mood would not be better. Whoever came out to commit a long face would need courage and courage.

As an old minister, Ma Wensheng lost his original courage and hoped to be a Minister of Personnel who could complete a smooth transition.

Even Ma Wensheng didn't say anything. People like Zhang Mao who are "crawling" will not make trouble. As for Zhang Heling and some officials who have low status in the minds of Emperor Hongzhi, they will not cause trouble for the emperor at this time.

"There is no war in the northwest." This sentence seems to have become a consensus among the court officials present, and the content everyone tells is centered around this point of view.

...

...

The matter was being discussed in the Qing Palace. In Kunning Palace where the queen was located, Empress Zhang was taking care of the little princess who had only been born for a few days in the bedroom of the back hall.

The little princess is very healthy, with her eyes rolling, looking smart and cute, and very painful, but her parents, Zhu Youting and Queen Zhang, could not see any smile on her face.

Zhu Youtang and his wife actually hope that this fetus gave birth to a son most, so that the possibility of the royal heir being cut off was greatly reduced.

Queen Zhang felt that her stomach was "not good-for-minded". Her husband was in serious condition. She should have used festive things to cheer her, but she did not add another male to the royal family, and she felt very disappointed. On weekdays, Queen Zhang was stern and got angry. Even if she took care of the little princess, Queen Zhang did not take care of everything and left it to her tamper.

Since the little princess was born, Zhu Youzhang has not been to Kunning Palace for many days. This is because Zhu Youzhang's condition has been repeated, and another reason is that Zhu Youzhang is very dissatisfied with Queen Zhang's daughter.

There are some things that Zhu Youting doesn't need to be said, and Queen Zhang can also feel, because her husband became increasingly perfunctory and cold to her after she gave birth to a princess. After that, Sanbian and Datong, Xuanfu were urgent, so Zhu Youting moved back to the Ganqing Palace on the excuse of handling state affairs and did not stay overnight in Kunning Palace.

Afterwards, Empress Zhang found out clearly that the emperor was recuperating in the Qing Dynasty and no longer involved in the war in the Northwest. At this moment, even the eunuch, the chief eunuch, was responsible for reviewing the memorials.

Xiao Jing never was impatient. Such good-looking people rarely disobey the opinions of several cabinet ministers, so most of the votes of the cabinet's Grand Secretary were directly converted into Zhu's comments. Only a very small number of people who are of great importance will be submitted to Zhu Youzhang for personal review, but only a slight change was made on the Zhu's comments.

The power of the three cabinet ministers is getting heavier, but this cannot change the reality that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang often ask for leave. Even when the situation in the northwest is becoming increasingly tense, the cabinet is still the only one who takes the rotation. Xie Qian has become the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty and has decided on a single sentence of military and political affairs.

"... Empress, everything is fine in the Eastern Palace these days. I went to send oranges to me before. The prince also invited me to eat one. Of course, I didn't dare to eat it. I heard that the prince felt a cold the day before yesterday, but he had recovered in just one day. Even the imperial physician exclaimed that the prince was auspicious and god-wish, and his physical recovery ability was too strong!"

Queen Zhang has a strong control over her husband and son, but she has no great ambitions. Her only wish is to get her husband's care and her son's filial piety.

Empress Zhang is jealous, but is probably a woman who can manage her family but cannot manage her country. Therefore, Empress Zhang has been obedient all her life. In history, she had the opportunity to rule the country from behind the curtain, but never touched power. Even after Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, Zhang's family was suppressed, so she just begged the emperor who helped her to give her a favor.

But Empress Zhang is very harsh on her servants, sometimes she is more like a "poisonous woman". She will not be careless about any servant who dares to deceive her, seduce her husband and son. Many maids are punished for this, and some even die.

The palace is a place where tears are not believed in, and Queen Zhang believes in this.

Queen Zhang said angrily: "The prince is sick. How dare you deceive me if you have such a big deal? People come out and beat the twenty big boards. Who dares to know and not report it in the future!"

The palace maid reported was very unfair. She was sent by the queen to take care of the prince by the Xiefang Palace. The prince said that he had a headache and was uncomfortable the day before yesterday, so he did not go to class. The next morning, the imperial physician went there. As a result, he found that the prince had no problems. If it were Zhang Yuan and Liu Jin and other eunuchs with brains, they would definitely know that the prince was pretending to be sick. The palace maid had no experience at all. He believed it, so he actually came to the queen and told him that he was looking for a beating.

The palace maid was dragged out to beat the board, and the eunuch dared not hold back, because if they could not beat Queen Zhang until they were satisfied, they might suffer.

Queen Zhang looked at the little princess who was being held by her husband, took it in her arms, glared at her daughter, and cursed: "It's all your fault. The queen mother could have given birth to a prince. From now on, no matter who will be the emperor, the queen mother will be able to be worry-free for the rest of her life, and the Zhang family can also flourish for generations. Now, because of you, the queen mother is neglected by your father, it's all your fault!"

The child, who was only a dozen days old, was slapped by Queen Zhang. Although he was separated by a thick swaddle, the child still cried out with a "wow".

The wet nurse and the palace maid were watching from the side, but no one dared to come forward to dissuade him.

When Queen Zhang heard her daughter crying, she became more upset. She let go and threw the princess on the ground.

The wet nurse and the palace maid were shocked and they rushed over to pick it up, but in vain, the little princess's swaddle clothes fell to the ground. Fortunately, Queen Zhang was in confinement, and it was late autumn. The blankets on the floor of Kunning Palace were very thick, and the swaddle clothes fell on the fluffy bedding, which did not cause any accident.

"Cry, why are you crying?"

Queen Zhang looked irritable and leaned over and wanted to arrest her daughter and throw it to the ground.

The wet nurse and the palace maid had already stepped forward, and the wet nurse carried the little princess into her arms... A little guy who had just been born for more than ten days, didn't know why he was disliked by his mother, and the child could not express himself, so he only knew how to cry.

Queen Zhang kept scolding, but she had no reason.

The palace maids were not sure what had happened and knelt on the ground and were trembling. However, the wet nurse was a "experienced person". They knew that once a woman gave birth to a child, if she could not get the care of her husband or family, and if she felt wronged in her heart, she would easily have random thoughts and eventually turned into a very terrible tyrannical emotion.

The wet nurse doesn't understand that this is "postpartum depression", but she knows that this kind of thing is very common among the people. However, because women have a low status, they dare not act recklessly even if they give birth to a daughter. But this is the palace, and Empress Zhang has a second only to the emperor. She is the first queen in China to support the emperor since ancient times. No wonder Empress Zhang has a different state of mind than others.

The little princess cried for a while and suddenly stopped crying because she was hungry.

When the little guy pouted and fed, the wet nurse looked at the little princess in her arms and whispered: "Little princess, you eat hard and grow hard. Only when you grow up will you not make your mother unhappy, and you can protect yourself... I wonder what kind of prince consort you can marry? Will you be rich forever?"

At this moment, the little guy doesn't understand what growing up means, nor does he understand what "mon-in-law" means. She only knows that she was swaying just now and felt not so comfortable, so she cried. Now she is very hungry and wants to eat and have no time to cry. When she is full and sleepy, she wants to sleep comfortably.

For an ordinary person, craziness is the happiest moment in his life, carefree, but most people do not have this memory of life.

...

...

In Xiefang Palace, Zhu Houzhao finally finished one day's class and returned to the bedroom. He picked up the martial arts novel that Shen Xi gave him when he rushed him back to the palace that day. He looked fascinated and didn't even care about eating.

The sequel to these martial arts novels was written by Shen Xi during the final stage of the bandit suppression and on his way to the capital. There are not many chapters, but there are the finale of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "Lu Xiaofeng", as well as the beginning of a new book.

At the end of each book, Zhu Houzhao felt lost and felt empty. Fortunately, Shen Xi wrote the opening chapter of "The Legend of the Knights". The naughty child didn't read it for long, and was immersed in the wonderful world of "dog bastards".

"Your Highness, you should have a meal, and you have to take a bath and rest after that!" Zhang Yuan entered the bedroom and said respectfully.

"No need, you go down first. I will sleep by myself when I am tired." After Zhu Houzhao said that, he asked casually, "When is it?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Go back to the crown prince, the second round of drum has just been beaten!"

"It's only the second update? Wait, I won't sleep until the third update. Oh, by the way, prepare me a snack and tea. Don't be too hot. I'll eat it myself if I'm hungry later."

Zhu Houzhao has already forgotten to eat and sleep when he reads martial arts novels.

Zhang Yuan had no choice but to follow the order and go out to prepare.

The prince said he wanted to have snacks, but Zhang Yuan was worried that he would not be able to eat enough. In addition to sending a few plates of pastries, he also sent hot meals to the bedroom, but Zhu Houzhao ignored him at all.
