Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 448 Seeds of Doubt Thrive
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, the concubines cast surprised glances.

Qianxue asked curiously: "My husband wants to deny the legitimacy of Dayuan as the Central Plains dynasty?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's right, although our Emperor Taizu loves Da Yuan to the death, but I have to be an unworthy descendant to set things right for him.

Why do you want to be a pariah under the rule of Hulu?It's hateful that Taizu still takes pleasure in this, and it's shameful to think about it.

Look at what Taizu said: Although the Yuan was barbarian and Di, it came to rule China.Within a hundred years, the population will be large and the family will be full, and my grandfather will also enjoy the peace.

I am a farmer, happy to be born in the Yuan Dynasty.

In China, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was extravagant and idle, the treacherous officials were in disorder, and the heavenly supervisor was not virtuous. Therefore, he ordered the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhaoji Shuomo, to rule China, and the people depended on peace for more than [-] years.

Listen, is this what people say? "

The concubines shook their heads and were speechless when they heard the words.

Zhu Qiyu added: "In order to prevent the common people from rebelling like him, Taizu was already dazzled. He insisted on enshrining Dayuan as the Zhengshuo of China, and then judged that all the rebels who raised troops at the end of Yuan Dynasty were rebels except Taizu.

As a result, the old and the young in the Yuan Dynasty did not agree with the Ming Dynasty, and the gentry in the south did not agree with the Ming Dynasty either.

Now that the world is in my hands, I have to choose sides.Not only for the selfishness of the Zhu family, I want to stand up for the Han people, go fuck the noble Grandpa Meng, why should I ride on the heads of the Han people and do my best.It is kind enough for me not to exterminate the family. "

Qian Xuezuo suddenly realized: "My family has figured it out, no wonder my husband always acts absurdly. It turns out that from the beginning, my husband has regarded himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the result is that he is at odds with the emperors of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Hey, it's really helpless. Now I have to completely overthrow Sanyang and deny the national policy formulated by Xuanzong.

Taizu was selfish, at least for the Zhu clan.The Xuanmiao emperor of our family became selfish, it was purely for his own pleasure, and he didn't care about the interests of his descendants at all.

The most ridiculous thing is that back then, Li Li was bewildered by these strange monarchs and ministers of Ming Dynasty, and it was only out of helplessness that they led the people of Jiaozhi to rebel, and the officials forced the people to rebel.

As a result, Emperor Xuanmiao and San Yang cried and forced him to be King of Cochin, and they were even more active than Li Li himself.Such a traitor is really amazing.

I am really not convinced that a person like Xuanmiao is still regarded as Youdao Mingjun. "

Several favorite concubines shook their heads and sighed, but it was not good to speak ill of Xuanzong directly.

Ning Xiang suddenly interjected: "Husband, why don't you start your own line and be your own ancestor?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Is it Ming Shengzu? Thanks to the love of my wife, you are even more powerful and unconstrained than me. Alright, send out all the orders, it's getting dark, let's hurry up and get into bed early. "

……

Silent all night.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Qizhen listened to Chen Xiang's report on political affairs.

Chen Xiang only said a few words before Zhu Qizhen realized something was wrong.

It is normal for the second prince to be crowned Xiuwang, but it is quite puzzling for Jin to confer Wanchen's family as imperial concubine.

How can the position of imperial concubine be granted lightly?Just because Concubine Wan Chen's two sons died, do you want to comfort her as an imperial concubine?

Zhu Qizhen sneered: "Brother, you want the Qian family, Zhou family, and Wan family to stand up against each other and fight endlessly in the harem.

At first glance, it was the work of my younger brother's favorite concubines. They didn't want to be queens themselves, but they always wanted to instigate other women to fight for the queen's position. "

Chen Xiang asked: "My lord, do you want to remind the three ladies?"

Zhu Qizhen asked angrily: "How to remind, haven't you heard the allusion of two peaches killing three scholars? My brother, this is a conspiracy. Those three stupid women can't solve it no matter what, so they can only obey my brother's wish." Engage in infighting.

Let me make arrangements to protect the crown prince. Now that he is my only son, there is absolutely no room for loss.

In addition, after the funeral, more arrangements will be made for Mrs. Wan to attend the bed, so I want to have a son as soon as possible.

The younger brother's sons must be born more and more. I only have one son, so it is really a disadvantage. "

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen asked a little unconfidently: "I used to think that the Forbidden City was the best place to live in the world, but now I'm not sure.

You said that when my younger brother lived in the Mansion of Prince Yi, his fertility was not the same as mine.

But once he lived in a valley in the western suburbs, why did he suddenly become so fertile?He has a total of fifteen favorite concubines, and 12 of them became pregnant within a year. It is said that it is because the remaining three favorite concubines are not in a hurry to have children.

I don't understand these women, my women are all crying and wanting to give birth before others, and there are several of my brother's women who are not in a hurry at all, it's really evil. "

Chen Xiang replied: "Maybe it is the water and soil of Yuquan Mountain that support people. The water for drinking in the palace is also fetched from Yuquan Mountain and transported back in wooden barrels.

The emperor directly guarded the spring to get water.

The emperor, queen, and concubines only drank the water from the jade spring, while the emperor and his favorite concubines even used it openly for bathing and washing.

Moreover, there are hot springs on Yuquan Mountain, which are said to be extremely beneficial to the body.

The most important thing is that the emperor has always emphasized equality, and the status and treatment of the favored concubines are exactly the same. They all grew up together and have deep feelings, so naturally there is nothing to dispute. "

Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily when he heard the words: "My father and emperor don't know what he thinks, except for Mrs. Hu and the queen mother, all the concubines in the harem can't even give birth to a daughter, which shows how unbearable the struggle in the harem has become. It's hard for him to endure it like that.

If you look at my younger brother again, he really understands how to play with his own backyard.

To be honest, when it comes to women, I really admire my younger brother from the bottom of my heart. "

Chen Xiang laughed and said, "Yesterday, the emperor issued an edict to posthumously confer the posthumous title of Xuanmiao's concubine as a concubine, and change her posthumous title from Zhen'ai to Zhenxian."

Zhu Qizhen asked curiously: "Xuanmiao's concubine? I remember that all the women buried for the emperor's father were posthumously made concubines, why is there another concubine?

The younger brother is very good, so why should he chase after her?
Zhenyi, Zhenxian, what does the word "xian" mean? "

Chen Xiang replied: "Smart, wise and wise means offering. Xuanmiao once praised the concubine of the country for being virtuous and well-educated, so she deserves the word 'offering'."

Chen Xiang had studied in the inner academy of the Silijian, and the inner academy invited great Confucians from the Imperial Academy to teach the eunuchs, so Chen Xiang could also write a few sentences.

But Zhu Qizhen asked impatiently: "I'm not asking you this, I'm asking why my younger brother suddenly changed the good chastity mourning to chastity offering?

Is he alluding to something? "

Chen Xiang hurriedly replied: "This imperial concubine is outstanding in learning, she was summoned into the palace by Xuanmiao special decree in March of the third year of Xuande, she was seriously ill before entering the palace, and died of illness just 20 days after entering the palace.

At that time, the emperor was born less than half a year ago, so the impression was not deep.I have seen the servants who served around Xuanmiao in the past. "

Zhu Qizhen was even more puzzled: "This empress was already seriously ill before entering the palace, and the emperor wanted to summon her into the palace by special order? Just because she has talent and learning?"

Chen Xiang nodded very positively: "That's true, the concubine of the country even hugged the emperor. It's just that the empress was seriously ill at the time and was always sad, so she started crying as soon as she hugged the emperor, and she also cried when she was tired.

The empress dowager was displeased, and quickly ordered someone to take the emperor away, and ordered that the imperial concubine should not be allowed to approach the emperor again.A few days later, the imperial concubine died of illness.

The maidservant remembers it very clearly because the Empress Dowager was formally proclaimed as a queen on the first day of March, and the concubine entered the palace on the same day. On March [-], the concubine died of illness.

Before entering the palace, the imperial concubine also made a poem called "The Sickness of the Beijing Mansion from Sorrow", which said: "There are many shorts, and there are too many shorts.Life is like a dream, death is like sleep.I am ashamed of my lack of filial piety when my relatives return home first.The heart is desolate and helpless, so you can mourn. "

Zhu Qizhen was completely suspicious when he heard the words: "You mean to say that the Empress Dowager took the palace man's son as her own son, and that palace man is the imperial concubine?"

Chen Xiang immediately knelt down on the ground when he heard the words: "The emperor spares my life, but the servant did not say anything."

"Get up, get up, hurry up and get down to business. What is the origin of this imperial concubine?"

Chen Xiang returned: "The imperial concubine is the granddaughter of Duke Weixiang of Yingguo, daughter of Guo Qi, sister of Uncle Dingxiang Guo Deng, who originally lived in Fengyang. After Renmiao ascended the throne, Guo Qi's family was called to Beijing."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said to himself: "Oh, Guo Deng and my uncle are in-laws, and the two families have a very close relationship. If it is true that the imperial concubine gave birth secretly, it is reasonable to count it under the mother's name.

No wonder when I was outside Datong, Guo Deng was determined to send elite soldiers to rescue me.

I mistakenly thought that the civil and military officials in Shanxi wanted to harm me, so I couldn't believe anyone at the time.Thinking about it now, if I was really born to the imperial concubine and Guo Deng is my real uncle, then it would all be reasonable. "

Chen Xiang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "My emperor entered the state too quickly, and I haven't started fooling around, the emperor believed it?"Just take the initiative to start convincing yourself?

Zhu Qizhen had been dubious about the rumors for a long time, but now he believed half a dozen points, so he asked: "Huichang Hou and uncle must know about this matter, what did Huichang Hou say in his testimony? Tell the truth."
