Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 367: Town, pressure, precious and steady
There are not many queens who were deposed in history. After all, there are so many emperors, and there are more queens.

But there are not many queens who have been deposed without fault.

From the first Queen Bo of the Western Han Dynasty who was deposed for no fault to the first Queen Guo Shengtong of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, Hu Shanxiang can be regarded as the third.

As for Emperor Xuanzong's Wang and Empress, they were framed and are not included in this.

In the feudal era, especially the dynasties where Confucianism was prevalent, if you just wanted to say something bad about a person, you had to first list the mistakes that person had made, whether they were big or small.

This is true for ordinary people, let alone a queen.

Hu Shanxiang has never made any mistakes since she was selected into the palace and became the concubine. If you insist on saying that she was wrong, it can only be said that she gave birth to two daughters in a row and failed to give birth to a legitimate son for Emperor Xuande. eldest son.

However, this is not a fault, at least not yet.

Emperor Xuande was not even 30 years old yet, and was in his prime. Normally, he was not at an age where he should worry about heirs. Naturally, Hu Shanxiang could not be blamed for the so-called lack of heirs.

Of course, this is only on the surface, and the real situation cannot be judged from the same.

Even though everyone knew that Emperor Xuande needed an eldest son since he was placed under house arrest by his cousin, that was not something that could be brought to the table.

Therefore, people began to be interested in the actual reasons and the so-called inside story of Emperor Xuande's abolition, and the so-called truth is even more controversial.

Some people say that Emperor Xuande was anxious because his cousin was too powerful and he would most likely never have a chance to defeat his cousin in this life, so he could only start with etiquette.

At the very least, after having a prince and deposing the heirless queen, the prince who was originally the eldest son of a concubine would become the legitimate eldest son.

Didn't Emperor Jianwen become his son and inherit the throne in this way?
Some people also said that Emperor Xuande was taking the opportunity to vent his anger.

As we all know, the current Queen Hu Shanxiang of the Ming Dynasty and Hu Shanshu, the eldest concubine of Wu Wang's eldest son Zhu Zhanhe, are biological sisters. Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanhe are not only cousins, but also brothers-in-law.

Because of his negative emotions such as fear and disgust towards Zhu Zhanhe, coupled with this special relationship, Emperor Xuande vented all those negative emotions on Queen Hu Shanxiang.

The deposed queen was just an excuse to take advantage of Sun Guifei's birth of a dragon son. In fact, Emperor Xuande wanted to vent his resentment that he couldn't beat his cousin, but had nowhere to vent.

There are many such statements, and they are all analyzed from various aspects, but there are also many statements that are out of tune or even outrageous.

Some people believe that the child born to Concubine Sun is not actually a prince, that is to say, it is not Zhu Zhanji's child, but Zhu Zhanhe's.

After all, now from the imperial palace to Shuntian Mansion and even the entire Ming Dynasty are under the control of King Wu. If it is really the child of Emperor Xuande, there is no reason why he can survive to be born smoothly.

Therefore, some people think that this is all a conspiracy behind the scenes of King Wu, who wants to use Concubine Sun's belly to wear the hat of a prince, but in fact it is Zhu Zhanhe's child, and the purpose is to gain the throne.

In short, there are many opinions, some are reliable, some are unreliable, and some are outrageous.

But none of these seemed to have any effect on the palace.

The matter of abolishing the empress was quickly approved by the Ministry of Rites. There is nothing to say about this. After all, in the entire court now, except perhaps the Empress Dowager Zhang, everyone else, whether because of interests or other reasons, is basically a person of the same mind. To the lineage of King Wu.

However, it was obviously impossible for Queen Mother Zhang to pass this matter so easily.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Faced with such a big thing, Mrs. Zhang did not go to her son because she knew it was useless, and she was trapped by herself now. She had to convince herself first.

It makes no sense in terms of etiquette and law to depose the empress, because Hu Shanxiang made no mistakes and deposed the empress. This matter will definitely be recorded in the history books by the historian. This is not a good thing for the entire Zhu family. Son.

But from the bottom of her heart, she wanted to do this.

The reason is very simple. She is indeed the empress dowager. She does want the Ming Dynasty to govern the Qingming Dynasty and make the country strong. She really wants to bring good news to her father-in-law and husband a hundred years later that the Ming Dynasty will still be as strong as ever, or even unprecedentedly strong.

But, she is also a mother.

From the empress dowager's point of view, from the point of view of her father-in-law and husband's last wish, she should call this matter back and keep everything as it was.

But from a mother's point of view, she should seal the big seal that represents imperial power, because only in this way can she get a chance for her son and her grandson.

Looking at the sunshine coming in from the window, Mrs. Zhang sighed deeply and fell into a long-standing entanglement.

But at this time, there were also people who felt exactly the opposite to her.

Renshou Palace.

Zhu Zhantan and Zhu Zhanluo looked at their father with all kinds of questions in their hearts.

"Okay, stop looking." Zhu Gaoxu knocked on the table.

"Think for yourself. I'll give you three days. If you can't figure it out, come to me again."

After looking at each other, brothers Zhu Zhantan and Zhu Zhanluo turned around and left, but their expressions were still full of doubts.

Looking at the backs of his two sons, Zhu Gaoxu was thoughtful.

Zhan He didn't realize it. This was for sure because he didn't have much experience yet. There were a lot of twists and turns, which was normal.

The abolition of the queen seemed to be a good thing for Zhu Zhanji, but in fact it was not.

At least, it's not all like this.

Deposing the queen, and deposing the queen without fault, will definitely have a great impact on Zhu Zhanji's reputation, and this is the most taboo thing for an emperor.

In addition, if Zhu Zhanji really wants to pin his hopes on a child, then he is really delusional.

It's just a child. If you really want to, there are plenty of ways. If you want to win, even if you want to gain an advantage, for Zhu Zhanji, you have to come from the front.

As for why he allowed this child to be born...

If his hesitation on the matter of Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyong was correct, then his hesitation on this matter now is the opposite.

At the beginning, if Empress Dowager Zhang had not been dealt with well and Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyong had been dealt with, it would most likely have led to a desperate counterattack by the entire emperor's line, and it would have been at any cost.

But in this matter, as long as you do it, there is nothing wrong.

No one could be sure whether a child in the womb was a boy or a girl. Even a boy was just a bastard, and Queen Mother Zhang would not say anything about it.

After all, for the Yan King lineage back then, the identity of the legitimate son was so important that even now, they are still struggling with it.

Of course, all this is based on the fact that the child has not yet been born. Now that the child is born, Zhu Gaoxu cannot be as careless as before.

Empress Dowager Zhang would not say anything until the child was born, but now that the child has been born and is still a male, she cannot move casually.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the entrance of Renshou Palace.

There is the direction of Qingning Palace.

……

Qingning Palace.

Zhu Zhanji swept away the decadence of the past, washed his face, and shaved his beard. Now he is holding his son in his arms, and he is in high spirits.

"Have you decided on a name for the child?"

Queen Mother Zhang's voice sounded, causing everyone to turn their attention.

"Think about it." Zhu Zhanji held the child and came to his mother's side.

"I want to pick a town word."

"Which town?" Queen Mother Zhang was stunned for a moment.

"The town of repression." The smile on Zhu Zhanji's face never broke, and he explained to his mother while looking at the child.

"Suppression means broad pressure, precious and steady, and it is also the foundation of the world."

……

Queen Mother Zhang looked at her energetic son in front of her with a complicated expression on her face.

Originally, she thought that because of the birth of this child, her son would no longer be as decadent as before, or at least return to his former self.

But now, she found that she was wrong.

There are rules for naming the Zhu family, rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao.

The names of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons are all related to wood, such as Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu and Zhu Di, etc. Later, he even determined the lineage for each son.

For example, the descendants of Prince Zhu Biao have the following philosophy: "Yunwen abides by the ancestral precepts, and Qinwu Dajun wins. It is good to follow the road, and good teachers make good use of Sheng." The lineage of King Zhu Di of Yan is "Look high to Qi to see blessings, and be generous to carry Yi. Always be kind and kind." He and Yi are both brothers, and Jian and Jingdi are the first."

According to the rules, combined with the word Zhen given by Zhu Zhanji, the child's name is Zhu Qizhen.

A word of suppression, a word of suppression, allowed Empress Dowager Zhang to see clearly what her son was thinking, and it also strengthened her inner thoughts.

……

The fact that the emperor had an heir and that he was deposed without fault were both important events. Not only would everyone in the Ming Dynasty discuss them, they would also be taken seriously by everyone.

Similarly, this kind of news will naturally be sent to Zhu Zhanhe, the biggest hero and speaker of Ming Dynasty today, in a hurry.

However, in this era, the transmission of news takes time, and Zhu Zhanhe may not have time to care about it at this time.

Castle.

Walking on the streets of Junbao, looking at the most prestigious city in European history, Zhu Zhanhe felt mixed emotions.

The process of winning King's Castle went smoothly.

The crusaders of the Kingdom of Sicily and the Holy See were blocked and trapped in the Sea of ​​Marmara. Now they cannot advance to assist the castle, nor can they retreat. It can be said that it is a dilemma.

Coupled with the chaos inside the Jun Castle, this city, which is known as the most difficult to break into, just fell into Zhu Zhanhe's hands.

Nowadays, the Castle is no longer what it used to be, and the whole city is filled with a low mood, because it has been the most thorough looting.

Because of Zhu Zhanhe's laissez-faire, the Crown Prince's bodyguards and the Wuszangdu Army were okay. After all, they were all soldiers who had been with Zhu Zhanhe for a long time, and they knew that Zhu Zhanhe would not treat them badly.

Therefore, even if Zhu Zhanhe let them plunder freely, they didn't go too far.

But those Ah Sans were different.

They were originally afraid of poverty, and they were still the kind of people who had always been bullied. Now that the roles have been reversed, their true nature has been exposed.

Even after Zhu Zhanhe made it clear that all the people in the castle, both men and women, would belong to the Ming Dynasty, these Asans still couldn't control their crotches.

For this reason, Zhu Zhanhe had no choice but to make an example to the monkeys and take some of the leaders to demonstrate.

However, Zhu Zhanhe believes that this momentum is actually very good, and it is a kind of thing that kills two birds with one stone for him.
