Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 515 Confidence and arrogance are two different things

Shuntian Mansion, Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

Human beings are actually extremely precise machines, and repairing them is not that simple. Any damage sustained will take a lot of time to repair.

Although she has always been pampered and pampered so that the body of the Empress Dowager Zhang is far better than that of her peers in this era, she is still an old man in her sixties after all.

Since the death of her son Emperor Xuande, Zhang has been working very hard, not only to be careful about the people around her, but also to be careful about political traps.

She couldn't let the line of the prince of Yongle Dynasty be cut off in her own hands.

However, her nerves had been tense since Zhu Zhanhe came back, and now she was poisoned again. She was struck by illnesses and her body collapsed all of a sudden.

But even so, she still couldn't relax.

In later generations, there are often words like "As long as you can't die, work to death", but in fact no one really cares. After all, making money is important, but life is more important.

But for today's Zhang, it means that as long as he doesn't die, he has to continue working.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed twice, but he didn't know whether he was choking or the medicine was too bitter, which was beyond Zhang's expectation.

"Alas..." Mrs. Zhang sighed softly, waved her hand, and signaled the palace maid to take the medicine.

Wiping the corners of her mouth, Mrs. Zhang watched the maids around her retreat one by one, and then turned her attention to Sun Ruowei in front of her.

"Kneel down..."

Zhang's voice was more or less weak, but the majesty he had developed over the years could not be suppressed by a weak body.

Sun Ruo lowered her head slightly so that no one could see her expression clearly, and remained silent, but she still knelt on the ground in accordance with Zhang's instructions.

"If you push it forward a few years, you will definitely not survive."

Looking at the daughter-in-law in front of her, Mrs. Zhang was filled with disappointment.

"That is to say, you are lucky, and you only have Zhen'er as your heir after your death. Otherwise, what you do will not only harm you, but also Zhen'er."

"Why, do you think I've been swallowing my anger like this because I'm afraid? Do you think that as long as I die, you, together with Yong'er and Yu'er, can be like Emperor Taizong, who appeases the difficulties and protects the emperor?"

Sun Ruowei knelt on the ground without saying a word, but his heart was full of resentment.

She didn't know why Zhu Zhanhe, her mother-in-law, had been forbearing until now.

She has always felt that her husband has left a lot of connections for her children. Although they have all been cleared out of Shuntian Mansion, as long as someone stands up, they will come back.

What's more, Zhu Zhanhe's reputation in the Central Plains is not good. As long as he takes advantage of this, he will be able to respond to a hundred responses.

Besides, she never thought about taking back everything that originally belonged to her son, let alone destroying King Wu's lineage, but she thought that getting her son out of this vortex and withdrawing to Yingtian Mansion or other places would be completely impossible. There is a chance to make a comeback.

Also, although North Korea cannot be trusted because of Zhu Zhanhe's relationship, it can still be used.

Finally, she still has a hole card.

She sent someone to contact Zheng He, and obtained from Zheng He the chart that Zhu Zhanhe had given to the Treasure Fleet. Zheng He also promised her that if nothing could be done, Zheng He would find a way at the last step. She and her son were placed on a treasure fleet to sail to America.

However, even though she was fully prepared, her mother-in-law kept stopping her.

"Why, still not convinced?"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law didn't say a word, how could Ms. Zhang, who had been with her day and night for more than ten years, not know what her daughter-in-law was thinking?
"Ahem..." After coughing twice more, Zhang took out a letter from under the pillow and threw it in front of her daughter-in-law.

"have a look……"

"You thought your plan was perfect, but do you know how many people in today's Ming Dynasty can escape Zhanhe's surveillance?"

"Your self-righteous planning, self-righteous preparations, and even your retreat were all completed under Zhan He's watchful eye."

"Do you think that the wedding of Zhanqi, the concubine of the King of Wu, can be attended by all the King of Wu? Only Zhanqi, a child with unfulfilled wings, is left to guard Shuntian?"

"You want Zhu Huiyu to gather the Miao people and capture Liangzhou first, where the generals were replaced on the spot, and then open a gap from there to lure in the ill-intentioned four Mongol guards of Atuan, Quxian, Handong, Chijin and Dongchagatai Khan. Entering the Central Plains?"

"But do you know that although Uzangdusi has always been under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, in fact they only obey the line of King Wu. As long as the line of King Wu gives orders, they can go directly to Shu in the west and Liangzhou in the north. , and can even directly enter the Kansai Seven Guards."

"In addition, Wu Guanzhe also went to the old place of Wuliangha Sanwei. Let's not talk about whether Yong'er and Yong'er can gather people on the Jurchen side of the desolate Beishan Mountain. Even if they can, they can get there. ?"

"All of this is Zhan Hexia's trap! He's waiting for you to get in!"

……

Looking at the letter in front of him, Sun Ruowei looked calm, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.

She thought that her plan was not to say flawless, but she could definitely avoid Zhu Zhanhe's eyes and ears, because this time she didn't use Jin Yiwei, and she didn't use her husband's former bodyguards, the Tengxiang Four Guards. She is from her natal family.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanhe could still see everything clearly.

The word "Yunnan" on the letter in front of her completely shattered Sun Ruowei's plan and shattered her fantasy.

"Let's go back……"

Mrs. Zhang let out a long sigh, her sigh filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

"Regarding my assassination, everything has been arranged. The confession that Jin Yiwei obtained from the people in Shangshi Bureau cannot be changed, and even if it is changed, it will be useless, because that confession is probably already in front of him at this moment. It’s in my hands.”

"I have already made arrangements. If you and Zhen'er want to survive this crisis safely, the only way is to let your family take care of everything."

"You don't have to be angry or resentful. If you have a better way, that's up to you. But if there is no better way and you still want to preserve your and Zhen'er's throne, then just do as I say. "

……

Sun Ruowei knelt on the ground and said nothing, but his eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes were full of resentment under his lowered eyelids.

An arrogant person will never take his mistakes on himself, because he will think that his failure is entirely due to the obstruction of others.

Just like Sun Ruowei now.

She did not think that she was responsible for the fate of her mother's family. Instead, she blamed everything on Zhu Zhanhe and the mother-in-law in front of her.

If Zhu Zhanhe hadn't been too ambitious and wanted to usurp the throne, then not only would her natal family not die, but she would still live the life of the emperor's relatives.

If it hadn't been for her mother-in-law's arrangement, her natal family would not have been dragged out to take the blame.

From beginning to end, she never thought that this was actually caused by herself.
