The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 25 Wan Guifei

Sai Tanghong, the head of the unrestrained Miaoshou Sect, promised Chang Feng to find the lost letter box for him tonight.

The condition is that Chang Feng doesn't pursue Miao Shou's family.

Chang Feng said: "Master Sai, please take us to see your elder brother quickly."

Sai Tanghong pointed to her brothel attire: "I have to change clothes, wait a minute."

Then, in front of Chang Feng and Fatty Xu, she took off the gauze, apron, and obscene pants.
Exquisite and clear!
It took Chang Feng and Fatty Xu a long time to react, and they turned their backs on their own initiative.

Sai Tanghong said: "There is nothing to be shy about. If this matter can be settled tonight, I welcome you to spend the night with me in the future."

Sai Tanghong changed into an inconspicuous cloth.The three of them left Deyi Red Building and met Huzi who was squatting at the door.

There is still one hour and three quarters before dawn.

Chang Feng's fate; the prince's fate; the Ming Dynasty's fate... will be wonderfully intertwined in this one hour and three quarters.

Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace faces south from the north, also known as Zhonggong.It is the residence of the queens of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, the owner of Kunning Palace is not the queen, but Concubine Wan Gui.

Emperor Chenghua had two queens.

The first Empress Wu was directly abolished by Emperor Chenghua because of her discord with Concubine Wan Gui, and she was thrown into the cold palace.

That's right, the queen and the imperial concubine were at odds, and it was the queen who was deposed.

The status of Concubine Wan Gui in Emperor Chenghua's mind can be seen.

The second Queen Wang learned the lesson of Queen Wu.In the palace, he tolerated Wan Guifei everywhere.

She didn't hear anything out of the window, and devoted herself to reading Buddhist scriptures.A proper Buddhist queen.

One day, Concubine Wan Gui came to drink tea with Queen Wang and said, "The Kunning Palace is still majestic and decent."

In the afternoon of the same day, Empress Wang took the initiative to order the palace people to move things, and gave up the Kunning Palace, and moved to the remote Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan.

(Note: Before the Jiajing Dynasty, Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan was only the residence of concubines, not the residence of the emperor.)
Concubine Wan Gui saw that Wang and Empress were so knowledgeable, so she did not hesitate to occupy the magpie's nest.

Inside the bedroom of Kunning Palace.

The 57-year-old Concubine Wan Gui coughed continuously while lying on the couch.

Her hair was completely white, and her face was wrinkled like old dead bark.

Looking at the outline of her face, even when she was young, she should not be a symbol of beauty.She had a surprisingly large chin and a horse face.

However, such a 57-year-old ugly old lady is actually the favorite woman of the 40-year-old Emperor Chenghua.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the eyesight of Emperor Chenghua is not one-tenth of that of the old lady on the sick bed.

At this moment, Emperor Chenghua was sitting beside Concubine Wan Gui's bed, holding her hand tightly.

Concubine Wan Gui coughed badly tonight, Emperor Chenghua simply stayed by her side all night without sleeping.

The love between Concubine Wan Gui and Emperor Chenghua transcended age and appearance.

It is a love of life and death, of adversity.

Zhu Youtang, the prince of this dynasty, suffered a miserable life.His own father, Emperor Chenghua, suffered even more.

Because Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen had a father who was later honored as the "Daming God of War".

That's right, it's the Daming God of War who was 50 against [-] in Tumubao. The advantage was mine, but he was defeated and was taken to the grassland by Grand Master Wala.

After the change of Tumubao, the two-year-old Zhu Jianshen was established as the prince with the support of Queen Mother Sun.

Empress Dowager Sun sent a 19-year-old maid named Wan Zhen'er to take care of Zhu Jianshen.

Wan Zhen'er is actually the wet nurse of Zhu Jianshen.

Three years later, Emperor Jingtai secured the throne, directly abolished Zhu Jianshen's reserve position, kicked him out of the palace, and demoted him to King Yi.

Wan Zhen'er hugged Zhu Jianshen, and left Jingren Palace, where the crown prince lived, amidst the urging and ridicule of those snobby eunuchs.

At that time, his God of War father had returned from hunting in the north and was imprisoned in Nangong.I can't help my son.

Five-year-old Zhu Jianshen, the only person he can rely on is his Aunt Wan.

At that time, there were rumors in the court and the public that Emperor Jingtai deliberately killed the brother of God of War.Zhu Jianshen's life was in jeopardy.

Zhu Jianshen, who has gradually become sensible, often cannot sleep at night because of the fright.

It was Wan Zhen'er who was by his side, holding him and coaxing him to sleep.

During the five years when she was deposed, Wan Zhen'er was Zhu Jianshen's teacher, mother, and strongest backing.

Until Zhu Jianshen was ten years old, Emperor Jingtai became terminally ill, and the Nangong Incident occurred.

The Ming God of War trembled again, restored with the help of Shi Heng and others, and became emperor for the second time.

Zhu Jianshen defended himself until the clouds opened to see the moon, and he became the prince again.

Wan Zhen'er and Zhu Jianshen shared difficulties.He could never leave her again.

Gradually, Zhu Jianshen grew into a young man.He found that he had fallen in love with the woman who was 17 years older than him.

Six years later, Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne as Emperor Chenghua.He immediately made the 33-year-old Wan Zhen'er a noble concubine.

The emperor only favors Concubine Wan Gui, and the six palaces are colorless.

However, people have two sides.

Concubine Wan Gui has a gentle, considerate, and strong side; at the same time, she also has a jealous, greedy, and vicious side.

Empress Wu is not pleasing to the eye.Wan Guifei got rid of her.

See which minister is not pleasing to the eye.Concubine Wan Gui got rid of him.

Who dares to conceive the emperor's child, simple, get rid of her!
Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish!

She recommended a bunch of villains to Emperor Chenghua.

If one person is favored, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.Her three younger brothers were all named high officials.

Now, her second brother Wantong is in charge of Jinyiwei.

The third brother Wanxi is the governor of the rear army, and he is in charge of the fifth battalion, the most powerful of the three battalions of the capital.

The fourth brother, Wanda, served as the commander of Jinyiwei, and he was in charge of the [-] Han generals under Jinyiwei.

The generals of the Han Dynasty are in charge of the palace guards. In other words, Wanda controls the safety of the palace.

Even the dog raised in the Wan family's ancestral house was awarded the "Xuanwu General" loose rank, with a rank of fourth rank.

The imperial concubine party is so powerful that it can be said that it has power over the government and the opposition.

There is a folk proverb that says: Zhu's family is the world, and the Wan family's imperial court
Concubine Wan Gui coughed violently.Emperor Chenghua quickly stroked her back for her.

Emperor Chenghua said: "How can you cough like this? All imperial doctors should be killed!"

Concubine Wan Gui first showed a reasonable side: "The concubine is ill, but the imperial doctor is innocent."

What a virtuous concubine, more than 90 years ago, when Empress Ma Dajiao was dying, the last words she left were to ask the great grandfather not to blame the imperial doctor.

Those who didn't know thought Concubine Wan Gui was a virtuous person like Queen Ma.

However, after a while, Concubine Wan Gui showed her fierce knife: "The concubine's illness is caused by the prince's anger."

Emperor Chenghua quickly asked: "Why is he angry with you?"

Concubine Wan Gui breathed weakly and said: "The Cai Zhong he used is a giant beetle. I heard from my concubine's second brother that Cai Zhong's greed for ink is more than your emperor's internal silver reserves!"

"And, he conspired with Cai Zhong, intending to rebel."

When Emperor Chenghua heard this, his complexion changed!
The growth history of Emperor Chenghua is the history of a coup d'etat in the Ming Dynasty.He is extremely sensitive to the word "rebellion".

Emperor Chenghua asked, "Is there any proof of the rebellion?"

Concubine Wan Gui said: "Not yet. Tomorrow, the cabinet will hand over Cai Zhong's letter and send it to the palace. Your Majesty can take a look in person."

"Maybe there are clues in the letter?"

Emperor Chenghua nodded: "Yes. If there is such a thing, I will abolish him and make the third son the crown prince."

In the past, Concubine Wan Gui wanted Chenghua Emperor to abolish the crown prince because the crown prince had a feud with her for killing his mother.

If Emperor Chenghua died and the crown prince ascended the throne smoothly, her life would be lost.

Now, Concubine Wan Gui knew that her time was short, and she was sure that Emperor Chenghua would outlive her.

She is still trying to become Vantage's waste reserve.This is for the longevity of the three younger brothers and the wealth of the Wan family.

The key to the waste storage is the planted letter in the letter box.

Chang Feng, the inconspicuous little chief banner of Jin Yiwei, has become the most important figure in the Ming Dynasty tonight.

In the south of the city, Yuansheng Tea House.

Chang Feng, Fatty Xu, and Sai Tanghong stood in front of the teahouse.

Although it was late at night, Yuansheng Teahouse was still buzzing with people.

Daming has a system, and gambling is strictly prohibited.Casinos are not allowed to exist.

But throughout the dynasties, selling dog meat with sheep's tricks is the only way to make money.

The local snakes in the capital all use teahouses as a cover to set up treasure bureaus to amass money.

Say something off topic.This method of the Ming Dynasty has continued into modern times.

Nine out of ten teahouses in eighth-tier counties are supplemented by selling tea and mainly playing mahjong to draw table fees.

The owner of the third empty crossbow, Sai Tanghong's senior brother Shi Jian, is the treasure official of Yuansheng Teahouse, who is in charge of rolling dice.

Chang Feng said: "Let's go in."
