Daming Yuanfu

Gao Wushi calmed down and thought about it seriously, and even entered a state of selflessness, completely ignoring that the emperor was still waiting for his answer.

There must be a purpose behind all conspiracies, and in the final analysis, these purposes are some kind of huge interests.Now all forces have their own goals, and thus form their own conspiracy.In these conspiracies, there is me in you, and you in me, so it forms the scene that seems to be a mess today.

However, behind all of this, the purpose is very clear - the position of the prince.Or it can be said that it is to finally obtain imperial power.

Who or what forces were involved?
In terms of the outer court, there is no doubt that the School of Mind is a school, and they support Zhu Changluo; the School of Reality is also a school, supporting the queen and the emperor's son; One faction, but their attitudes are not fixed and change as the situation changes.

To put it simply, their attitude is not only the most traditional, but also possibly the most simple. The principle is just eight words: "If there is a son, there will be a son, and if there is no son, there will be an elder."

As for who this "di" is, it doesn't matter.It doesn't matter who the "long" is.

From the perspective of maintaining the succession system of the Ming Dynasty, such an attitude may be the best, because principles are principles, and it should not change with changes in specific characters.However, in the real world, many things are often not transferred by simple subjective will.

Because, some people will find a way to change the "di" and "long", and once such an operation is successful, the neutral faction will automatically become a force that can become an ally without wooing.

Therefore, the neutral faction cannot be regarded as a stakeholder in the whole incident, but is more like a weight, which will automatically join one side of the balance with the actual changes of "right" and "long".

Originally, one faction of the outer court supported the grown-up Zhu Changluo, and the other supported the newly born emperor's son. The two sides seemed to be evenly matched.

But this balance of power is just an illusion, the truth is that the Real School's power in the Outer Court has almost completely overwhelmed the Heart School.In the inner court, the identity of the emperor's son is obviously much more valuable than the emperor's eldest son, so it is also equivalent to the factual school overwhelming the heart school.

It is precisely because of this that Gao Yushi judged the School of Mind before, but anyone who wants to make a comeback can only resort to conspiracy, which is the three steps previously expected: murder the emperor's son, force Gao Yushi to leave, and then kill Zhu Yijun.

This plan is obviously very crazy. Gao Yushi once doubted whether the School of Heart really had such guts. It was not until he discovered some of Shen's consistent actions that Gao Wushi decided that the guess was true-not necessarily that the entire School of Heart was contributing to this, but at least Shen Yiguan should be advocating this matter.

Of course, if Shen Yiguan didn't do it well, or even got caught up in the incident, the officials of the Heart School who were not involved in the matter would definitely cut off relations with him immediately, affirming that Shen Yiguan's actions were entirely personal and could not be promoted to the entire school.

But if Shen Yiguan really did accomplish this great thing, then the other officials of the Heart School would definitely be happy to see it succeed, and it would even be possible to immediately promote him as the leader of the party.This kind of situation is very common in the officialdom, and it is not even considered shameless - anyway, the world is as black as crows, the eldest brother Mo laughs at the second brother.

Now that the Heart School is completely at a disadvantage, apart from the slanted assassination becoming irresistible, the Heart School will probably find another ally.

At this moment, there are not many who can become allies with them.As an ally, there must always be some common interests, but this kind of common interest does not necessarily have to be long-term interests, and short-term interests can still make people join forces temporarily.

For example, the concubine Zheng's mother and son, under the current situation, have common interests with the Heart School and Zhu Changluo - the existence of the emperor's son can be regarded as a mortal enemy to them, and they must be eliminated quickly.

Therefore, even if both of them want to compete for the crown prince in the end, as long as the emperor's son is still there, they have a common enemy, and removing the emperor's son is naturally their common interest.

However, Gao Yushi is very clear that although these two groups can temporarily join forces under the common threat, they will definitely not be able to establish a "high degree of mutual trust". To lay a black hand on oneself...

Wait a minute, wait a minute... The Heart School is in charge of the conspirator Shen Yiguan. It's not surprising that he would defend against Concubine Zheng Huanggui, but is there anyone on the side of Concubine Zheng who is at the same level as Shen Yiguan and can think of defending against Shen Yiguan? ?
It's hard to say, maybe there is such a possibility!

Gao Pragmatic's spirit lifted, and he thought to himself: Is there a possibility that the political methods of Shen Yiguan and Zheng Huangguifei are not at the same level at all, so the two sides say they are joining forces, but in fact Shen Yiguan made perfect use of Zheng Huangguifei to make Zheng Huangguifei The imperial concubine did what he couldn't do, and took the biggest risk by the way.

At the same time, Imperial Concubine Zheng didn't expect that Shen Yiguan might want to kill two birds with one stone. Instead, she thought that at least before getting rid of the emperor's son—or even before getting rid of the queen, the interest alliance between herself and Shen Yiguan would not be enough. unbreakable?
I am afraid that this possibility is not only possible, but even very great!

Gao Yushi has always believed that the fact that Imperial Concubine Zheng is favored in front of Zhu Yijun is not because her methods are clever enough to coax the emperor around, but because her personality just fits the emperor's spiritual needs.

Only in this way can it be explained that in the original history, the emperor doted on her all her life, but she was unable to achieve her political goal despite having such a sacred scroll - to put her son on the throne.

The reason is very simple, she is favored not because of her clever means, she does not have the ability to transform her advantage into victory.

That being the case, why is it so strange that she is used by such an old Yin Bi like Shen Yiguan?And there is evidence from the emperor—Zhu Yijun grew up under his highly pragmatic personal guidance. His political wisdom is definitely not bad, and his vision of seeing people is also online.And it was such a person, he still insisted that Concubine Zheng Huanggui would not harm him, then... Concubine Zheng Huanggui would really not harm him.

Although Gao Yushi didn't answer the emperor's sentence "Do you believe me or not?", at least [-]% of him believed it in his heart.To put it bluntly, depending on Concubine Zheng's political level, if she really had the intention of harming the emperor, even if she could hide it for a while, she would not be able to hide it for too long. It is impossible for Zhu Yijun not to find any clues.

Moreover, from the standpoint of Imperial Concubine Zheng, if she really harmed the emperor, it would not make sense, because her status and power come from the emperor, who cares about her without the emperor?No matter how poor the level is, you can always see this clearly!

In this way, Zhu Yijun's previous judgment was actually very accurate, that is, "If she really did something, it must be because she was deceived by someone, and she didn't know that doing so would hurt me."

So, what happened today could only be due to Shen's usual arrangement?
However, Gao Wushi recalled Shen Yiguan's performance today, but felt that the situation still seemed unclear, because Shen Yiguan was obviously surprised at first, even a little shocked, and then he seemed very anxious.

If everything was Shen's usual arrangement, naturally he shouldn't be surprised, let alone shocked, and after confirming that something happened, he shouldn't look anxious.

So is there a possibility that Shen Yiguan has indeed been making arrangements behind the scenes, but the development of the matter did not go exactly as he expected, but some accidents happened for some reason, for example... the steps were out of order.

This is very possible, after all, Shen Yiguan's plan is divided into three major steps, each of which is a major event.Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to interlock the chain like pushing the leaf cards. Often, as long as there is an accident in one step, it may completely mess up the whole plan.

So how did this confusion come about?

First of all, there must be something wrong with the medicinal diet given to the emperor by Zheng Huanggui.However, this medicated diet can pass the inspection of Shangshi Bureau, which shows that at least there is no poison in the formula.After it was made, it must have been tasted by the Shangshi Bureau before it was given to the emperor to eat. None of the female officials and court ladies of the Shangshi Bureau showed any discomfort, which also shows that the medicinal food itself is not a problem.

However, Gao Wushi noticed that there is a hidden bug here: the emperor coughed up blood after drinking, and the female officials and court ladies of Shangshi Bureau are not high in the palace, so it is obviously impossible to go to the palace after trying the medicinal food. drinking.

Then if this medicinal diet was specially arranged by a conspirator, this person must have expected this scene long ago: if drinking is the switch that triggers the danger of the medicinal diet, then because only the emperor has the opportunity to drink again after eating the medicinal diet, the female officer of the Shangshi Bureau As the only group of people other than the emperor who can also eat medicinal food, they are impossible to trigger, so this arrangement will be buried under the emperor's feet like a mine without being noticed.

Gao Pragmatically thought that perhaps Shen Yiguan's original arrangement was to make the emperor who had been taking the medicinal diet drink at a certain point in time, which would trigger poisoning and cough up blood, and achieve his desired goal.However, an accident happened today, the emperor drank alcohol at the full moon ceremony of the emperor's son...

But there also seems to be something unreasonable here, that is, the emperor is good at wine, and Shen Tongyi must know this.The emperor wants to drink, who in the palace can stop him now?It is impossible for Shen Yiguan not to have thought of this trigger mechanism that is so easy to "misfire", so he should not think that such a trigger can only be mastered by him.

Gao Wushi thought of the emperor's report of the discussion results of the imperial physicians.The imperial physicians obviously believed that the emperor's hot and cold today was an important reason for coughing up blood, so is it possible that this "sudden change of cold and hot" is also one of the trigger switches?

Judging from the common sense, today's accident should not be the emperor's drinking - why is it so strange for a father to drink a glass of wine for the full moon ceremony of the son?It's almost normal.However, the "sudden change of cold and heat" is by no means a normal phenomenon for an emperor, and it is obviously an accident.

Unless Shen Yiguan could count with his fingers, how could he have expected that the emperor would go out for a walk with the empress at that time, and the empress felt a little cold again, so the emperor gave the empress the cloak again, and the two empress dowagers happened to come again, and the emperor and empress met again. Walked directly to the front hall...

There are too many "again" words, and it is impossible for Shen Yiguan to predict any "again" in advance.If the "sudden change of heat and cold" is really one of the necessary conditions for the onset of medicinal diet, then today's situation can only be said to be a complete accident.

However, this matter requires some verification...

"Your Majesty." Gao Wushi suddenly raised his head from deep contemplation, and asked Zhu Yijun, "Recently, have you ever drank alcohol while dining in Yikun Palace?"

Zhu Yijun seemed to be in a daze, or thinking about something just now, so he was a little unresponsive by his sudden question, he was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head, and replied: "No, I haven't had a drink in Yikun Palace for a long time. .”

Seeing Gao Yushi's suspicious expression, Zhu Yijun blushed, and stammered: "Well... once in Yikun Palace, I lost my composure and vomited all over Concubine Zheng. I won't drink with her since then."

Gao Wushi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhu Yijun misunderstood this action, and thought that Gao Yushi didn't believe it, so he said solemnly: "This matter is absolutely true, Chen Ju and the others all know it."

"You are not joking, how can I doubt what the emperor said." Gao Wushi shook his head, but instead of continuing the topic, he interrupted: "Your majesty, has the imperial concubine been particularly concerned about the emperor's dragon body recently... especially the cold and warm temperature?" Hot side?"

"What's your question? Concubine Zheng has always cared about me. It has long been a habit to ask questions about my health. What is 'recently' and not 'recently'?" Zhu Yijun was obviously puzzled.

"Is it true that you don't care more than before?" Gao Wushi still asked.

Now it was Zhu Yijun's turn to feel unconfident. He obviously recalled it carefully, and then his eyes began to waver, and he asked, "Practically, you still suspect that Concubine Zheng is going to kill me, right?"

"It's okay if the emperor doesn't want to answer, I already have the answer." Gao Wushi nodded slightly.

Zhu Yijun opened his eyes wide: "You have an answer? What answer, let me hear it."

Gao Wushi curled her lips and said: "The imperial concubine does not necessarily mean to harm the emperor, even after the emperor started to eat the medicinal food, she still has the responsibility to ensure that the emperor will not be harmed... But she may know that this medicinal diet is useful Something taboo."

Zhu Yijun frowned when he heard the lake in the lake: "What do you mean, why can't I understand? To be honest, do you mean that Concubine Zheng wants to harm me, or protect me?"

Gao Wushi sighed, and said: "What I mean is that the imperial concubine may know some taboos about this medicinal diet, but she didn't say it clearly, because she thinks that the emperor would never encounter these taboos, and she is in the emperor's seat." By your side, even more so.

However, the person who arranged the layout obviously thought that he had the ability to let the emperor touch the taboo, and this person may have concealed something from the imperial concubine, or in other words, the possible consequences of this taboo may be minimized... But this person did not expect , this kind of taboo that was unlikely to be touched by the emperor happened to be touched by the emperor today. "
