After reconciliation, I was stared at by the sickly son-in-law

Chapter 149 Empress Wenzhuang
"At that time, it was a troubled time, and the countries were in constant turmoil. At that time, Xiwu suddenly appeared and annexed the surrounding small countries, and then gradually developed and grew stronger." Emperor Xiwu's eyes showed reverence for the ancestors.

"Huang'er, when you were in Dongling, did you hear about the history of Xiwu's founding?" Emperor Xiwu asked Ye Shuhuang.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ye Shuhuang's face, she had indeed heard what her former teacher said, but the general content was that they praised Dongling and stepped on Xiwu.

Seeing Ye Shuhuang's expression, Emperor Xiwu knew what she was thinking.

He smiled: "I guess, it shouldn't be a good word."

Ye Shuhuang nodded.

When the teacher once told her, she just listened to the fun and didn't pay attention.

But now knowing that she is the princess of Xiwu and not Dongling, thinking of those words before, I really feel a little uncomfortable.

"What did they say? Said that my ancestor who established the country in Xiwu was the son of a domestic slave, and his status was low? They said that he betrayed the Lord, committed treason, colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country? Or did they say that he split the land of Dongling and established himself as the emperor, which is not allowed by heaven?"

When he said these words, there was no trace of anger on Emperor Xiwu's face, but a slight mockery.

Today's Dongling is no longer worthy of being Xiwu's opponent, and those people in Dongling can only comfort themselves by saying these words.

"What the father said, the teacher has told my son." Ye Shuhuang's eyes darkened slightly.

She felt that the emperor was really going to tell her everything this time.

"Then your teacher once told Huang'er that the so-called son of a domestic slave, the humble ancestor of Xiwu, his true identity is the former son of the empress Wenzhuang of Dongling, and he is truly the proud son of heaven."

what?

Ye Shuhuang's expression changed suddenly, she couldn't believe her ears.

If there is anyone she admires in Ye Shuhuang, it must be the empress of Wenzhuang of Dongling more than 500 years ago.

If it is said that later generations have different praises and criticisms for Emperor Xuanren of Dongling at that time, but for Empress Wenzhuang, he is a model for a generation of virtuous queens.

At that time, Emperor Xuanren was a rare benevolent emperor in the history of Tangling. He advocated the mean and governed the country with benevolence, but at that time the world was in troubled times.

Troubled times are not suitable for benevolent government.

For the courtiers, Emperor Xuanren was too tolerant and benevolent, so he had a domineering concubine and powerful officials in power.

At this time, Empress Wenzhuang, who was born in the general family, stepped forward.

As the head of the six palaces, for the concubines in the harem, Empress Wenzhuang has the demeanor of mothering the world and accepting all rivers.For the arrogant and domineering Concubine Chong, she did not show mercy at all, and used the most direct means to completely shut up Concubine Chong.

As for the court and the world, she has the virtue and wisdom to assist the king.

Empress Wenzhuang has extremely keen political ability, and she kept the government in order when the king was seriously ill and regent.

But she was not greedy for power. After Emperor Xuanren recovered from his serious illness, she retired to the background and stopped interfering in government affairs.

During the half a year of Empress Wenzhuang's regent, Tangling's country was not peaceful, and a flood broke out that hadn't happened in a century.The floods also brought the highly infectious plague.

The subjects were uneasy and panicked, and even the capital was not spared.Empress Wenzhuang personally appeased the people and vigorously built water conservancy projects, and the flood was quickly and effectively controlled.

Among them, the Anfengtang and the ancient Jiangnan River continue to this day, and they still play an important role in Dongling.

The prescription for eradicating the plague was also developed by Empress Wenzhuang at the Imperial Hospital.

Empress Wenzhuang was in extremely poor health, and after the early death of Prince Huizhao, her condition became more and more serious, and she could hardly get out of bed.

Everyone thought that Queen Wenzhuang would not be able to hold on, but in the end Emperor Xuanren walked in front of Queen Wenzhuang.

Later, in accordance with the will of Emperor Xuanren, the eldest son of the emperor was established as the new emperor, and Empress Wenzhuang was regent.

Before the eldest son of the emperor came to power, Empress Wenzhuang solved the situation where the powerful ministers were in power and cleared the obstacles for the new emperor.

The powerful ministers at that time were the mother clan of the new emperor.The new emperor's mother concubine is the favorite concubine who was executed by Empress Wenzhuang.

Ye Shuhuang had always been curious about what the empress Wenzhuang thought at that time, treating the son of the enemy as her own, nurturing him to become a talent, and never concealing the life experience of the new emperor.

And the new emperor, facing this mother-killing enemy, has carefully cultivated himself, does he have a love-hate mentality?
Later, Master Zhiyuan said a word and woke her up.

For Empress Wenzhuang, private affairs are nothing compared to righteousness, and she only wants to have a clear conscience about everything.

Facts have proved that the later Emperor Jiachen was indeed a good emperor.

However, Jiachen Emperor Ye Hongguang met his lifelong enemy, Ye Zhiheng, and in the end, he was a little inferior, watching him leave Dongling, establish Xiwu, and establish himself as emperor.

"Father, what do you mean by that?"

I thought it was just a coincidence that Xiwu imperial family and Dongling had the same surname, but I didn't expect it to be so.

Ye Shuhuang's voice was trembling a little, she thought of a possibility, and felt excited that she hadn't felt for a long time.

"Could it be that our founding ancestor of Xiwu was the former Prince Huizhao of Dongling?"

Emperor Xiwu nodded heavily, his expression was extremely serious: "Yes!"

"But didn't Prince Huizhao die young not long after he was born?"

Could it be that like Zizhu, after being sealed in the coffin, she came back to life and was rescued?

Ye Shuhuang shook her head, feeling that this idea was not very reliable.

What a noble status to be the son of the middle palace, he must have been confirmed by the imperial physicians before he dared to confirm his death.

And even if he was lucky enough not to die, at that time, Prince Huizhao had been posthumously crowned as a prince, and his funeral etiquette was strictly in accordance with the prince's specifications, and the mausoleum was guarded by the Royal Guards, so how could ordinary people come in and rescue him? What's next.

"Huang'er, do you know what the Tangling court looked like that day?" Emperor Xiwu didn't directly answer Ye Shuhuang's question, but asked instead.

Ye Shuhuang frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "The prime minister has power in the court, the noble concubine dominates the harem, and the Dongling Su family is the only one."

"Emperor Xuanren was weak and had few heirs. At that time, the Dongling royal family only had the eldest son born to Concubine Su Gui and a princess born to Zhaoyi. All the officials believed that the eldest son would be the sure successor."

"But Queen Wenzhuang is pregnant suddenly, Huang'er, tell me, who will be afraid? If Huang'er, you are part of the Su Clan, would you just watch as Queen Wenzhuang gives birth to a prince?"

According to the ancestral precepts of the Dongling royal family, the crown prince is registered, and the status of the descendants is first discussed, not the elders and younger ones.

Ye Shuhuang was silent, and she had to admit that from the standpoint of Concubine Su, she really couldn't tolerate the queen's son.

"Empress Wenzhuang has been immersed in the harem for many years, and her mind is beyond the reach of ordinary women. She made full plans for the future child when she found out that she was pregnant."
