Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 2 The most poisonous woman's heart
Zhu Youjian's mother was a woman whose name was not recorded.

She was called the Liu family, was born in Hejian Mansion, was selected into the Prince's East Palace when she was young, and became the lady of Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo.

In December of the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, she gave birth to the fifth son Zhu Youjian for the crown prince Zhu Changluo.

However, as a woman, she did not please Zhu Changluo in the East Palace, and Zhu Changluo had no affection for her.

When Zhu Youjian was five years old, Liu Shunv died of unknown reasons during Zhu Changluo's hysterical attack.

According to historical records: "Lost his ancestral meaning, was sent away, and died."

In just seven words, the words were very high-sounding, but in reality, it was Zhu Changluo who beat Liu Shi to death in a rage.

After Liu's death, Zhu Changluo was afraid that his father, Emperor Wanli, would take the opportunity to abolish the unsightly prince if he found out about it, so he threatened and lured the eunuchs and maids around him with a guilty conscience, warning them not to leak the news, and only lied to the outside world that Liu was the If she died of illness, she was buried in Xishan as a palace servant.

Later, because his elder brother Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, Zhu Youjian was named King Xin in the second year of Tianqi, and the Liu family who died Qu was also named Concubine Liu Xian by Zhu Youxiao.

However, the sad thing is that although Zhu Youjian became a prince, due to the unknown death of Liu Shi and the fierce faction between the government and the opposition at this time, he did not dare to publicly sacrifice his mother without authority, so he could only quietly ask the eunuch Find out where your mother is buried.

According to historical records, the thirteen-year-old Zhu Youjian was arranged by Zhu Youxiao to dominate the inner court's Xuqin Palace. He carefully asked his servants: "Is there a tomb of King Shen Yi in Xishan?"

The valet replied: "Yes."

Zhu Youjian asked again: "Is there a grave of Empress Liu?"

The valet replied: "Yes."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian wept, and secretly took some money for his attendants to sacrifice for his mother.

He was too young to leave the palace privately. Even if he walked out of the palace later, he was afraid of being impeached by the censor when he went to visit his mother's grave, so he could only honestly live in the palace.

Things changed. It wasn't until he was seventeen years old that his elder brother Zhu Youxiao passed away without a child, and the throne was passed on to him before the situation was broken.

Until then, Zhu Youjian was really able to mourn his mother openly.

He posthumously posthumously named his biological mother Liu as "The Empress Dowager of Xiao Chun Gong Yi Shu Mu Zhuang Jing Bi Tian Yu Sheng", moved her out of the simple tomb, and buried her in Qingling with his father Guangzong.

In the history books, this is just a few things, but for Zhu Youjian at this moment, he has a deep memory.

Zhu Youjian's previous emotions made him extremely angry at the moment, and he wanted to eat the woman in front of him.

But he knows that if he does this, he will completely ruin his future.

Right now, he is holding the little girl hostage just to get that young man to come out, and that young man is exactly his elder brother whose mother was forced to death by the woman in front of him, Zhu Youxiao.

However, at this moment, this sixteen-year-old boy was firmly grasped by Concubine Li Kang's wrist, and he did not move a step.

The strength of a pampered woman is actually not that great for a sixteen-year-old boy, and she can break free with a little effort.

It's just that it's not strength that grabs Zhu Youxiao right now, but his fear of Concubine Li Kang since he was a child.

When Zhu Youxiao was young, there were two Li Xuan servants in the prince Zhu Changluo's palace at that time. They were not related by relatives, and outsiders called them Dong Li and Xi Li.

Concubine Li Kang is the Western Li among them, while Dong Li is the later Concubine Li Zhuang. Dong Li has a higher status, but Xi Li is more favored.

Zhu Youxiao's biological mother was a talented person surnamed Wang. Because she gave birth to Zhu Youxiao, her status in the crown prince's uterus was second only to the crown princess Guo's.

After the crown princess Guo died of illness, Wang Cairen's mother valued her son and became the woman with the highest status in the crown prince's uterus.

However, Wang Cairen is not favored like Zhu Youjian's mother Liu Shunv, and Concubine Li Kang is so arrogant that she doesn't take Wang Cairen seriously and often bullies her.

That kind of bullying is trampling on personality, dignity, and body.

She prevented Zhu Youxiao from meeting Wang Cairen, and continued to bully her for nearly ten years, until last year Concubine Li Kang was angry because she did not have a child of her own, and ordered Wang Cairen to be beaten and humiliated to death.

But at that time, Emperor Wanli was already terminally ill, and he didn't take care of the affairs of the East Palace, and handed it over to Zhu Changluo to manage it himself, but Zhu Changluo didn't punish Concubine Li Kang in any way, and instead asked her to raise Zhu Youxiao.

How ironic is this?For the two brothers, the person who directly and indirectly killed their mother became their mother in name.

You have to be respectful to the revenge of killing your mother every day, and greet each other with a smile. Over time, both Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian have suffered from different mental illnesses.

Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to family affection and hates power very much. When facing Concubine Li Kang, he is timid and has no opinion.

Zhu Youjian is more compatible with multiple pathological psychology such as pride, low self-esteem, narcissism, suspicion, and no sense of responsibility.

What is even more ridiculous is that, as an accomplice to the murder of their mother, Zhu Changluo, their father, is himself a "poor man" who was bullied and killed his mother.

His mother, Concubine Wang Gong, was squeezed out, oppressed and bullied by Concubine Zheng.

She was imprisoned in Jingyang Palace and could not see her son for a whole ten years. She was so missed that she shed tears and blinded her eyes. She only saw Zhu Changluo before she died.

People say don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, but Zhu Changluo let his two sons experience the pain he had experienced...

Zhu Youjian looked anxiously at Zhu Youxiao who had encountered the same situation as himself a dozen steps away.

He understood that Concubine Li Kang wanted to hold Zhu Youxiao hostage in an attempt to take charge of the court.

Historically, it took her six full days to let Zhu Youxiao out of the Qianqing Palace under the coercion of Yang Lian, Liu Yixiu and others.

This was known as the palace transfer case in history, and it was also an event that greatly increased the reputation of the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youjian didn't want this to happen, so what he could do was to do it again in accordance with what Yang Lian and others had done in history. While rescuing Zhu Youxiao, he prevented any party from having a chance to increase its reputation.

It's just that at the moment, seeing Zhu Youxiao's stagnation, he is really anxious.

In desperation, he could only shout loudly: "Brother Huang, have you forgotten how Miss Wang passed away?!"

In a word, like a thunderbolt, it woke up Zhu Youxiao who was standing still and fearing Concubine Li Kang.

Yup……

The father has passed away, and I am the grandson of the emperor established by my grandfather. The current crown prince, I will be the emperor soon, why should I be afraid of her?

My younger brother dared to hold her daughter hostage, so couldn't I be worse than my ten-year-old younger brother?
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly broke away from Concubine Li Kang's hand, and strode towards Zhu Youjian.

"Stop! Stop him!" Concubine Li Kang yelled angrily, and the eunuchs and maids all around wanted to try.

"I'll see who dares!" Zhu Youjian pressed the file against the little girl's neck, scaring away the people who wanted to come forward, but whispered:

"Hui Ti, don't be afraid, Brother Huang won't hurt you, we're just playing tricks."

"Hmm..." The little girl nodded softly when she heard Zhu Youjian's words, and Zhu Youjian became more courageous when she saw this.

The current trick was used by the great eunuch Wang An in history to deal with Concubine Li Kang and force Concubine Li Kang to release Zhu Youxiao. Now, it is used by Zhu Youjian, and the effect remains the same.

Zhu Youxiao walked towards Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian didn't dare to relax, after he came to his side, he grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and walked towards the outside of Qianqing Palace.

The court ladies and eunuchs around did not dare to chase too closely, they could only watch the two brothers walk out of the palace helplessly.

Concubine Li Kang seemed to lose all her strength when the two brothers stepped out of the threshold of Qianqing Palace, and fell to the ground, her face pale and trembling all over.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the back of Zhu Youjian, who was holding his wrist with one hand and the little girl with the other, in front of him, feeling warm in his heart...
