A knife in love

Chapter 369

Before Situ Qiao finished speaking, Deng Yao cursed loudly: "Fart! Shit!"

Situ Qiao chuckled and said, "It stinks! The old beggar is really farting!"

Deng Yao was furious, he swung his fist and wanted to move forward.Chu Danyang and Xu Chenghe hurriedly stopped him.Liu Yong said: "Mr. Situ, don't talk nonsense. Who in the world doesn't know that Emperor Chengzu's biological mother is Emperor Taizu's main palace empress, Empress Ma?! The queen's son, even if he wins the battle of Jingnan, he won't be able to sit still in the Great Ming Dynasty!"

Situ Qiao sneered and said, "Mr. Liu, what you said is getting to the point. The reason why Zhu Di lied that he was the real son of Empress Ma was because he knew that if he didn't take Emperor Taizu and Ma To cover up the identity of the queen's son, and kill a hundred Fang Xiaoru and Tie Xian, the world will not belong to him in the end. As the saying goes, if the name is right, if the name is not right, it will be difficult for him to raise troops to calm down, but it will really become a conspiracy to usurp the throne. You can kill them in groups."

At this time, it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It is well known to the people all over the world that Emperor Chengzu took over the world with the Battle of Jingnan.As for Chengzu's background, everyone knows that he is the fourth son of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and his original consort Ma, Empress Ma who was later canonized as Empress Xiaocigao.Empress Ma had five sons and two daughters. Among the five sons, the prince Zhu Biao died early, the second son was the Qin King Zhu Yu, the third son was the Jin King Zhu Yan, the fourth son was the Yan King Zhu Di, and the fifth son was the Wu King Zhu Wei.Empress Ma accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to the army, went through many hardships and hardships, and always stayed by Emperor Taizu's side, loyal and unswerving.She is dignified and dignified, her mother respects the world, not only the Emperor Taizu respects her very much, even the ministers of the court also respect Empress Ma very much.Therefore, everyone in the world knew at that time that one of the five direct sons of Empress Ma must be the successor to the position of Son of Heaven.

Prince Zhu Biao, who is courteous and benevolent, courteous and virtuous, won the favor of Emperor Taizu the most.It's just that he died young, and the world is a pity.Among the remaining four sons, King Qin, King Jin, and King Yan all have the ability to lead troops, and they are the three most powerful kings among the northern kings.King Wu was cowardly and could not compete with his three elder brothers.Therefore, after the death of the prince Zhu Biao, all the important officials in the court thought that the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan could inherit the great rule.Later, the Qin and Jin kings died of illness one after another, and the Wu king was ineffective. The courtiers thought that the only one who could inherit the great rule was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who could be called justified.It's just that Emperor Taizu regretted the prince Zhu Biao who died young, and even made Zhu Yunwen, the eldest son of Zhu Biao, as the grandson of the emperor, who was later Emperor Jianwen, and cut off the idea of ​​King Yan's enthronement.

For more than a hundred years, the ruling and opposition parties have not had the slightest doubt about Cheng Zu Zhu Di's parentage, and no one has ever been so arrogant as to accuse Cheng Zu of not being the real Empress Ma.Therefore, when Situ Qiao said this, everyone scolded him for saying nothing.Deng Yao has a violent temper, and when he squats in front of the restaurant and teahouse to listen to books on weekdays, he likes to listen to idle books such as "Mingying Heroes" and "The King of Yan Sweeping the North". .When the storyteller told the story, when talking about Zhu Di's narration with others, he often said "the fourth son of Empress Gao", and he did not forget to explain it, saying that Empress Gao was the first consort of Emperor Taizu, Ma Shi.Therefore, when Situ Qiao mentioned that King Yan was not the direct son of Empress Ma, he immediately became furious. He wished he could knock out all of Situ Qiao's teeth with one punch, lest he speak nonsense.

Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Situ Qiao felt more and more complacent, and then said: "It's not that I'm talking nonsense, it's just that everyone has heard and seen that Zhu Di was born by Empress Ma, so naturally I believe these nonsense. Really. From Emperor Renzong who inherited Zhu Di's throne to the current Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Di has been passed down in the same line. Naturally, this matter must be covered up, otherwise Zhu Di's position is not correct, and the throne of his descendants will be lost. It's a bit unstable. What's more, most of the people who knew about it back then were killed by Zhu Di after the Jingnan battle, and the rest were silent. Who would dare to talk too much and bring disaster to future generations? Since the Jingnan battle until now For a hundred years, this matter has long been obliterated, and no one knows..."

When he said this, Murong Danyan was not convinced, and said: "You are too big. If there is such a thing, involving the royal family, there will be a lot of trouble, and there are many people who know it. Even if Emperor Chengzu killed it extremely , how can you cover up the mouths of the people of the world?"

Situ Qiao looked at Murong Danyan contemptuously, and said with a sneer, "Huang Maozi, how dare you argue? What you say is ignorant! Let me ask you a question, do you know how many sons and daughters Emperor Jiajing has today?" , which concubine was born to each of you?"

As soon as he said this, he immediately asked Murong Danyan dumbfounded.How can the common people know about the royal affairs?Although there are many rumors, it is not known whether it is true or not.What's more, when Murong Danyan was in the south of the Yangtze River, the family rules were very strict, and no one talked to her about these things.Afterwards, she slipped out of Murong Mountain Villa and wandered around the rivers and lakes for only a few months. Although she heard a lot of strange things, she knew nothing about the current emperor's family affairs.

Seeing Murong Danyan's blank face, Situ Qiao hummed, turned his head and scanned the crowd, and then said slowly: "Everyone here is either the leader of a gang, or the head of a decent family. It can be said that everyone is well-informed. Can anyone tell me how many sons and daughters Emperor Jiajing had, and which concubine these princes and princesses were born to?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one answered.

Situ Qiao clapped his hands together, and said, "The situation that day was the same as everyone's current situation. Of course, no one in the public knows that Zhu Di was not born as Queen Ma. Jin Yiwei, spying on folk news, which one dares to discuss the royal affairs in private? Many courtiers know that Zhu Di is a concubine, but the emperor Taizu has repeatedly committed major crimes, not only killing almost all the founding heroes, but even the local officials. The officials in the court were like cutting leeks, killing batches after batches. The officials sat in the court every day, and they were all worried. How could they care about whether a certain prince was a concubine or a concubine? After appointing Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson, Zhu Di was sent far away to Beiping to drink the northwest wind, and there was no hope of succeeding to the Datong. I am afraid that apart from a very small number of people in the palace, even the ministers of the court do not know much about Zhu Di's background. After the Battle of Jingnan, within a few years, the Yan army invaded Nanjing, and the palace suddenly burst into flames. They set it on fire and burned it clean. Although it is said that Emperor Jianwen did not want to be captured by the Yan army and set himself on fire, how could he know that it was not Zhu Di who set the fire and wanted to burn all the people in the palace to death? Afterwards, he was loyal to Emperor Jianwen Zhu Di's courtiers all died at the hands of Zhu Di. He blatantly ascended the throne as the direct son of Empress Ma, and no one raised any doubts. At that time, among the five direct sons of Empress Ma, the prince Zhu Biao, the second king of Qin, and the second king of Jin had all passed away. The King of Wu was incompetent, and his grandson, Emperor Jianwen, burned himself in the palace. Of course, only the King of Yan, Zhu Di, was left to become emperor. Therefore, there were fewer obstacles for Emperor Chengzu to inherit the great line. His fake horse The painstaking efforts of the empress' son-in-law are not in vain!"

Chu Danyang said: "These words of yours are all conjectures, without any real evidence, so they can't be counted!"

Situ Qiao shook his head, pointed to the picture on the wall and said, "Yao Guangxiao is King Yan's mastermind, and he is the most clear about King Yan's life experience. If King Yan was not a concubine, how could Yao Guangxiao stay in this underground gloom? A mural like this alludes to Zhu Di's inappropriate background? What's more, I had an adventure in my early years, which further confirms that Zhu Di is not the direct son of Empress Ma."

When he said this, he laughed triumphantly a few times, waiting for everyone to ask, so he could explain them one by one.It's just that everyone saw his thoughts clearly at this time, knowing that this person is quite conceited and arrogant in the art of organizing news, and when he came to this cave, he thought that everything was up to him. to be more arrogant.When he was talking eloquently, he regarded everyone in the cave as idiots, and he used more teasing in his words.This time he laughed and said nothing, it was just a joke where everyone scratched their heads and anxiously wanted to find out the truth, and he needed everyone to ask him to fulfill his self-righteous wish.So after Situ Qiao laughed, everyone was silent and no one asked questions.

Situ Qiao waited for a long time, but seeing that no one spoke, he was a little embarrassed, so he coughed a few times, and then said: "More than ten years ago, I went to Nanjing, and I heard that the Dabaoen Temple was very popular, so I went to see it." Look at the fun..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qiufeng sneered and said: "After the completion of the Dabaoen Temple, there are legends in the world that there are countless gold, silver and jewels hidden in the temple. The glazed pagoda in the temple is even known as the world's largest pagoda. There are Buddha bone relics in the possession, which are priceless treasures. Mr. Situ, if you go to the Dabaoen Temple, it is not as simple as just watching the bustle?"

Although Li Qiufeng's words did not make it clear that the purpose of Situ Qiao's visit to the Dabaoen Temple was to covet a treasure, everyone understood what he meant.I only heard Lin Yilang say: "Students, even if they steal things, they have to shake their heads to find out some reasons. It's really ridiculous!"

Deng Yao let out a "bah", and said in a vicious voice: "The villain of the world, there is no such thing. Judging other people's right and wrong, but only looking at himself, there is no disadvantage at all."

Situ Qiao ignored the sarcasm of the crowd, and continued: "After entering the Dabaoen Temple, I realized that this place really deserves its reputation. I saw that this temple is huge in scale, and there is a royal aura hidden in it. I only walked two When I was in the main hall, I found that when the temple was built, it must have invited a very skilled warlock to plan the Fengshui pattern. The more I walked, the more I admired it, thinking that it was really worthwhile to see the famous temple built by the predecessors Fengshui masters Row."

When he said this, Deng Yao sneered, and said, "I'm afraid it's because of the regulations of this monastery that we can see that there are treasures hidden, so this trip is worthwhile?"

Situ Qiao said sternly: "Old beggar, what you said is not bad. Randomly finding a palace in the Dabaoen Temple is a priceless treasure in terms of planning and construction. So you said that I saw a hidden treasure, That’s why I thought it was a worthwhile trip, but I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Seeing Deng Yao's dissatisfaction, Liu Yong wanted to argue with Situ Qiao again, knowing that if the two started to quarrel, he didn't know how long it would take before they could stop.Therefore, he winked at Deng Yao, signaling him not to speak, then turned to Situ Qiao and said, "Mr. Situ, what adventure did you encounter later in that Dabaoen Temple?"
