Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 164 Wanli’s thoughts exposed! The Emperor's visit to Japan was so terrifying!
"The demon book, the demon book! Why is it the demon book again!"

Zhu Yijun is going crazy! It’s already enough of a headache to lose my wife and children! Better now! Such a 'continuation' of the demon book has come out again!

It’s not over yet!
Zhu Yijun was so angry that his head was steaming. However, when he read the contents of the 'Demon Continuation Letter', he was completely shocked!
If we say that the demonic letter titled "Wang Wei Hong Yi" a few years ago was pure nonsense and caused trouble.

So this time, the content in "Continued Worry and Risk Hong Discussion" is eighty-nine out of ten true...

Although the content in "Continued Worry and Wei Hong Yi" is very different from that of "Wei Wei Hong Yi" a few years ago, it is still written in the form of a dialogue between two people.

The two people talking to each other changed from Xu Guo and Zhu Dongji in "The Worry and the Crisis" to an anonymous person and another person named 'Zheng Fucheng'!
The content is as follows:

[Someone said: Today we are in Da'an, the world is at peace, the country is stable, why are you sighing? 】

[Zheng Fucheng said: Today there are frequent wars and mining taxes are everywhere. How can we say that the world is safe? Moreover, if the East Palace is still on the verge of collapse, how can the country be stable? I am sad! 】

[A certain person said: The war is a disturbance among neighboring countries and has not disturbed our Ming Dynasty yet, so let’s ignore it for the time being. But the crown prince of the East Palace has been established for a long time, why is it crumbling? Why is the country's foundation not solid? 】

[Zheng Fucheng said: Have you heard about the saint's restoration of the Wen Dynasty? 】

[Zheng Fucheng said: No! The saint does have this intention! You will know just by looking at the important ministers in the cabinet now! 】

"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Mengjing saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the other party. As he sat down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw Zhu Yijun sitting on the dragon chair and reading the memorial as usual, but this time he seemed to be reading it very seriously, so serious that he refused to miss a word.

Yes, Zheng Mengjing not only knew that Zheng Guotai secretly spread the news that the queen was abducted by thieves, she even told Zheng Guotai personally about the queen's abduction.

"You're here, sit down." Zhu Yijun looked at Zheng Mengjing and greeted this beloved woman as before.

After all, what he, the emperor, said might not have much weight, but what Emperor Taizu said should have weight, right?
In other words, this 'Continuation of the Demon Book' can be said to have completely guessed the emperor Zhu Yijun's thoughts!
But Zhu Yijun is the emperor! How could the emperor's thoughts be guessed by others?

Zhu Geng is unlucky and Zhu Yijun doesn't know. Zhu Yijun only knows that the appearance of this 'Demon Book' at this moment is completely adding fuel to the fire!

However, the scene she saw at this moment was so quiet and normal that it was... a little weird...

Before Zhu Yijun even finished speaking, Zheng Mengjing was so frightened that his body collapsed, and he slid from the chair to the ground like a boneless loach!
This emperor's beloved concubine, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was now frightened out of her courage. Apart from fear, there was only deep despair in her eyes!

[Someone said: Yes, what does the restoration of the civil era name have to do with the country's unsolid foundation? 】

In the demon book, the worst person is Zhu Geng, the cabinet scholar. He was just a "make-up" when he joined the cabinet this time. Now he is involved in such a mess because of a coincidental name. It is really unlucky.

[Someone said: It’s so terrifying! 】

Zhu Yijun was so angry that he wanted to eat people, but no matter how angry he was, he had to admit one thing.

[Someone said: I don’t know, please enlighten me. 】

The emperor has to keep his emotions and anger hidden! An emperor must have thoughts that no one can guess!
After all, the emperor! But the emperor! He is the king and father of all peoples!
How could his "ignorant" people guess what the emperor and his father were thinking?

[A certain person said: You should be careful what you say. All this is just your conjecture. Perhaps the saint did not have this intention. 】

[Someone said: You are worried that the title of Jianwen Fu Nian is false. Is it true that he wants to imitate Taizu Gao Emperor and establish a concubine as the heir? 】

Zheng, you don’t need to look at it to know that it refers to Concubine Zheng. Fu refers to the third son of the emperor Fu Wang Zhu Changxun. Success is the central idea of ​​this demonic book. Concubine Zheng and Prince Fu - 'complete'!

However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Mengjing heard Zhu Yijun ask her: "The queen and princess are gone, you should know, right?"

This 'continuation' of the demon book is over.

It was done, but Zheng Mengjing knew very well that he couldn't admit it even if he killed her!
"Your Majesty... I really don't know... How dare my brother..."

[Someone said: So that’s it! Someone suddenly realized it! 】

[Zheng Fucheng said: The reason is just Zhu Geng’s name! Zhu is the emperor’s surname! Geng, living in it is easier! The saint's intention was alluding to the fact that the Zhu family's royal family was about to change its crown prince! 】

She clearly heard Chen Ju say that His Majesty the Emperor was furious and even so angry that he vomited blood!
Zheng Mengjing thought that given the emperor's childlike temperament, he would be so angry that he would smash things everywhere!

[Someone said: What’s the explanation? 】

However, the reality happened like this, Zhu Yijun's thoughts were guessed, and he still revealed it to the world in this way!
At this moment, Zhu Yijun's anger and shame reached its peak!
……

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yijun laughed strangely. The next moment, he threw the memorial in his hand directly in front of Zheng Mengjing and said coldly:

[Zheng Fucheng said: In the current cabinet, the most humble person is Zhu Geng, a great scholar. This person can be said to be dispensable in the cabinet. There are countless people in the court who are more talented than Zhu Geng, but the Holy Master only allows Zhu Geng to enter the cabinet. Do you know why? 】

"I was just wondering why the news of the Queen's disappearance spread so quickly. After investigation, I found out that it was your good brother Zheng Guotai who deliberately spread the news!
Your good brother wants to ruin my queen’s reputation! In order for you to become the queen as soon as possible, you are really willing to do anything life-threatening! "

Zheng Mengjing was suddenly stunned. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and asked as calmly as possible: "Your Majesty...what do you mean by this?"

Moreover, the name of the only protagonist in the article, Zheng Fucheng, is even more intriguing.

[Zheng Fucheng said: Everyone knows that the Jianwen text states that Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of Taizu, was the concubine and grandson of the emperor. Under Jianwen, there was King Wu's "Xi", the second legitimate son born to the former Crown Princess Chang. According to the ancestral system, after Prince Biao died of illness, Emperor Taizu should have appointed King Wu of Wu as the crown prince. However, Emperor Taizu used the excuse that the crown prince's second concubine, Lu, had been promoted to the crown prince's main concubine, and asked Jianwen's concubine, the imperial grandson Yuezu, to take over the throne of the grandson of King Wu and Emperor Wu! In this way, you should know what the reign of the Holy Emperor means? 】

This means that the East Palace has successfully changed its owner, and Prince Fu will be crowned the crown prince!

"Oh? Did you just find out?" Zhu Yijun stared at Zheng Mengjing, as if examining her, and said with unclear meaning: "It seems that you don't know the news as quickly as your brother."

[Zheng Fucheng said: Do you trust me? The current queen has been sick for many years, and when she passes away soon, the Holy Emperor will definitely look for the faults of the current prince, and then make his beloved concubine Zheng the queen, and make Prince Fu the crown prince! If the ministers and officials oppose this matter, the Holy Emperor will definitely refute the fact that Emperor Taizu Gao made his concubine Sun Jianwen the crown prince and refute the officials for disrespecting their ancestors! 】

Yes, the reason why Zhu Yijun reestablished the title of Wen was indeed to take advantage of the fact that Emperor Taizu supported Wen's biological mother, Lu, as the crown prince's concubine, so that he could use the matter as a cover when he changed the title of Prince Fu Zhu Changxun to the crown prince in the future. Shut the mouths of civil and military officials!

[Zheng Fucheng said: That's true, but it's not just that. Although the emperor had already appointed the crown prince of the East Palace, at that time he was forced to postpone the plan only because of the pressure from the ministers and officials! Now the emperor's move to restore the title of Wen is actually to test the officials and ministers. If anything unexpected happens to the prince of the East Palace in the future, or if he makes a small mistake, the emperor can come up with the reason why Emperor Taizu Gao established the concubine Jianwen as the emperor's grandson. Rebuke the ministers! In order to achieve the purpose of deposing the original crown prince and appointing the third son of the emperor Fu Wang as the crown prince! 】

The last sentence "It's so scary" is actually similar to the "Hahahahaha" in the first edition of the demon book.

When Zheng Mengjing came to Qianqing Palace, the scene in front of her could be said to be a surprise to her.

Zheng Mengjing replied in a hurry: "Back to Your Majesty, I just found out that the Queen is missing, so I rushed here to comfort you. Please put your dragon body first and don't worry too much!"

Nowadays, during the Shangyuan Festival in the capital, a group of Japanese pirates with guns appeared inexplicably and caused trouble! The key is that the queen is still missing! Now there is another "Demon Book" that directly refers to the reform of the deposed prince!
This clearly implies that the turmoil in the city and the disappearance of the queen were deliberately caused by the emperor Zhu Yijun in order to "righten the concubine's house"!
After all, only when the queen who is the main wife is gone can Concubine Zheng have hope of being promoted from a concubine to the main wife like Lu!
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yijun laughed so hard that he gritted his teeth and said madly and angrily: "It's the end of the story! I'm the one who communicated with the Japanese!"

Zheng Mengjing was so frightened that she shed tears. She had no time to pick up the memorial on the ground. She hurriedly knelt all the way to Zhu Yijun's legs and carefully explained:

"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here? My concubine's brother should..."

"What misunderstanding can there be!" Zhu Yijun said angrily: "When did this happen! You actually want to speak for your bastard brother! If Jin Yiwei hadn't searched quickly and stopped the loss in time! Your idiot brother almost killed everyone. The reputation of the royal family has been insulted!”

"I didn't..." Zheng Mengjing really cried, not just pretending, because she knew that the emperor was really angry this time.

"Let me ask you the last question!" Zhu Yijun ignored Zheng Mengjing's tears and asked coldly: "Did you two brother and sister do this demon book?"

"No, Your Majesty! How could I, my concubine, have such a method!" Zheng Mengjing was so frightened that she raised her hands and swore:

"I can swear that if the demon book is premeditated by my brother and sister, then our entire Zheng family will be struck by thunder from heaven!"

Swearing is the most untrustworthy thing. However, Zhu Yijun believed it.

It was only then that Zhu Yijun realized that he had lost his mind too much.

"I'm crazy too, I would suspect you..." Zhu Yijun smiled bitterly, laughing at himself for being so angry that he lost his mind.

It's not good to suspect who is the mastermind behind the demon book, but he actually suspects his stupid beloved brother and sister.

These two siblings were so stupid that they didn't even know how to cover up the news that the Queen was kidnapped. They were found out by Jin Yiwei in a few seconds. How could two such stupid people conspire to create "Continued Worry and Crisis Hongyi"? 》?
"It's my fault, I'm confused." Zhu Yijun regained his senses, helped his trembling lover up from the ground, and explained in a comforting voice:

"My beloved, don't blame me. The life and death of the queen and the princess are unknown, and their whereabouts are unknown. In addition, there is now such a 'continuation of the demon book', I really..."

Zhu Yijun is under a lot of pressure now, especially now that the demon book has reappeared, and this matter has once again caused turmoil in the previous dynasty!
Those ministers who originally didn't know what the "Reconstruction Year" meant were almost all extremely angry after seeing this demonic letter. They picked up their writing brushes one after another and expressed their passion for writing. They were bound to seek an explanation from His Majesty the Emperor!

The emperor has apologized, what else can Zheng Mengjing do?

All he could do was to apologize with a warm voice and offer kind words to comfort him.

My beloved concubine has been killed by me, so what can Zhu Yijun do?
They could only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know that Zheng Mengjing was involved in 'spreading the news that the Queen was kidnapped'.

Sometimes it is quite magical that love can exist for a long time. After all, there cannot be absolute honesty between people.

If you lie to me, I will lie to you; if you don’t expose me, I won’t expose you.

This is love!

……

In order to stop 'disturbing the people' and to save the face of the royal family, Zhu Yijun finally ordered the Ministry of War to disband more than half of the troops, leaving only two guards to continue to secretly search for the queen and princess, as well as the county, on the pretext of searching for Japanese pirates. host.

As for the Jin Yiwei, they were all dispatched as usual. Zhu Yijun had no choice. After all, the person kidnapped by the thieves was the mother of a country. If such a big thing continued to carry out a large-scale search, everyone would definitely be aware of it.

By then, there will be all kinds of unpleasant rumors...

Not to mention that his daughter is now in her prime, and he has just chosen a decent prince-in-law for his daughter. If news comes out at this critical moment that the princess has been kidnapped, the prince-son-in-law will definitely have a grudge against his daughter in the future.

Zhu Yijun is annoyed, but it’s almost getting dark, and a whole day and night have passed since his wife and children were kidnapped...

……

At the same time, in the western suburbs of the city.

The three relatives of the emperor, who had no fingers stained by the spring water, looked at the corpse of the Japanese lying on the ground in front of them, and they were so scared that they almost flew out of their wits!

It was almost a conditioned reflex. After they were freed from the sack by Zhang Chonghui, the only thing they wanted to do was to follow the man who 'saved' them even though he was covered in blood.

Although they didn't know where Zhang Chonghui was going, they didn't even know whether he was an enemy or a friend, or his last name.

However, the instinct of human nature will make the weak habitually want to attach themselves to those who appear to be strong in order to seek security and shelter when they are in danger and helpless situations.

"I told you not to follow me. I saved you with kindness. Do you still want to retaliate and kill me?"

Zhang Chonghui dragged his right leg that seemed to be injured, and drove away the three royal relatives who were following him in a bad tone.

Facts have proved that his drive seems to be of no use. After all, it is almost dark in this wilderness.

One of these three people is a sickly and beautiful woman, one is a charming girl in her prime, and the other is a fat baby who looks very rich.

In this troubled world, no jackal can bear to eat such three attractive pieces of fat.

"Little brother, we don't ask for your protection. It's getting dark. Can you just let us follow you?"

The queen, who is so aloof, is now cautiously begging the man of unknown origin in front of her, which is really pitiful.

Sister Wang Xi has no choice. After all, the tall and handsome young man in front of her is the only 'backer' she, her daughter, and niece can rely on at the moment.

"Follow me? Why are you following me?" Zhang Chonghui said coldly: "What if the emperor knows that I, a foreigner, am alone with his wife and children in this wilderness, what will he think?"

"I..." Sister Wang Xi was speechless. Yes, if her emperor husband knew that she was in the wilderness with her foreign husband, not only would she kill the man directly, but she might also be given a white silk ribbon to kill her.

But Sister Wang Xi did not give up, and instead began to threaten: "Little brother, if you are so unwilling to save yourself, aren't you afraid that we will tell the emperor when we go back and let him punish you?"

This time, Zhang Chonghui smiled: "You don't even know who I am, how can you let the emperor punish me?"

At this moment, Sister Wang Xi really had nothing to say...

Yes, they don't even know this man's last name. Although they know his appearance, but... the crime of not saving someone at the risk of death is not an exaggerated crime that requires a city-wide manhunt with portraits...

In comparison, the sin of being alone with the royal family members in the wilderness is much greater than not saving anyone...

"Okay, I think the emperor has sent troops out of the city to look for you. Just wait here. Someone will come to take you back to the palace soon."

After Zhang Chonghui finished speaking, he picked up his right leg and limped away without any intention of stopping.

"How fast does it mean?" Although ten-year-old Zhu Xuanyao was still young, he was not stupid. He rushed to Zhang Chonghui's side at a trot and asked:

"It's been a day and a night, and no one has come to find us. Isn't it possible that Uncle Huang doesn't want us anymore?"

"Then I don't know." Zhang Chonghui said perfunctorily: "The emperor is your relative, not mine, and I don't know him well."

This casual remark might not sound like much to the ears of Zhu Xuanyao, but to the ears of the Queen and her daughter, it was like a thunderous explosion!

Yes, the emperor is their husband/father. Others may not understand the emperor, but how can the mother and daughter understand him?

"Mother...will the emperor..." Zhu Xuanyu did not dare to say any more. In her mind at this moment, she could only think of the emperor's father's indifference and rebuke over the years.

However, even if she didn't say it out loud, Sister Wang Xi knew what her daughter wanted to say.

"No, my father, your father will not give up on us. Don't worry, he will send someone to take us back soon." Sister Wang Xi comforted her, but in fact, she was unsure. After all, she knew One's own position in the heart of the emperor's husband.

"But it's been a day and a night..." Zhu Xuanyu's voice became lower and lower. No matter how precocious a fourteen-year-old girl is, in this deserted place, it's almost dark again. It's hard to say she's not afraid. Fake.

Sister Wang Xi just wanted to comfort her daughter with a few words, but a gust of cold wind made her cough uncontrollably.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Mother..." Zhu Xuanyu gently patted his mother's back, his eyes full of worry.

Looking at his sick mother, as well as the increasingly darker sky and colder night, Zhu Xuanyu knew that he could no longer sit back and wait for death like this!
She has grown up, she cannot be just a child in this life! Her mother is still sick, so it’s her turn to protect her!
But what to do now? Should they stay where they are and wait for the Emperor's father to send someone to rescue them?

no! The Japanese pirates just died near here. What if those Japanese pirates still have accomplices and come here to help them? Didn't they fall into the wolf's den again?
so what should I do now? The only hope now is to follow this man, but this 'somewhat familiar' man refuses to let the three of them follow...

After thinking quickly for a while, Zhu Xuanyu suddenly remembered something. Looking at the back of Zhang Chonghui limping away, she gritted her teeth and shouted:
"Zhang Chonghui! Stop!"

Zhu Xuanyao's shout not only stopped Zhang Chonghui, but also Sister Wang Xi and Zhu Xuanyao were stunned.

"Sister Huang, did you two know each other before?" Zhu Xuanyao asked curiously.

Sister Wang Xi is also curious about this matter. Her daughter has never even left the palace on weekdays. How could she know such a foreign man?

And Zhang Chonghui? Why does this name seem familiar...

Before Zhang Chonghui could make any 'quibbles', Zhu Xuanyu took the lead in revealing the truth and threatened:

"Zhang Chonghui, I know you are Zhang Chonghui, and you are Zhang Juzheng's grandson. I have met you in the past few years, in Emperor Ancestor... Anyway, I have met you.

Okay, I know your identity, so... So you can't ignore death now, you can only let us follow you.

But don't worry, if you protect us, I will explain the reason to my father and let him reward you. "

"You are so good at drawing cakes at such a young age. That's fine with you." Zhang Chonghui turned around and looked at Zhu Xuanyu carefully. To be honest, he didn't remember seeing this little girl in Empress Dowager Li's palace.

But in the end, the other party took the bait willingly, and Zhang Chonghui didn't mind being a "go-go" favor.

"Want to follow me? Okay." Zhang Chonghui said straight to the point:

"Then let's discuss the terms!"

……

Qianqing Palace.

It was already late at night, and according to the latest news, Jin Yiwei discovered several Japanese corpses in the west of the city, and found four opened sacks and a woman's hairpin nearby.

Zhu Yijun recognized this hairpin at a glance. It was a wedding gift that he personally gave to the queen when he first got married.

"Have you searched all around?" Zhu Yijun asked feebly.

"Back to the emperor, I'm still looking. Don't worry, I think we'll find the empress and princess soon!" Chen Ju comforted.

"What can I do if I find it..." Zhu Yijun said desperately: "A day and a night have passed, and I can't even imagine what they have gone through... They are queens and princesses..."

"Your Majesty..." Chen Ju comforted him again: "There are Japanese corpses nearby. I wonder if... could someone save the Queen and the Princess?"

"Oh, saved?" Zhu Yijun sneered: "If someone really saved the queen and princess, they would have rushed to send them back to receive the reward. How could there be even a shadow..."

"and many more!"

Zhu Yijun suddenly remembered something important!
"Zhang Chonghui was also abducted by Japanese pirates?"

Zhu Yijun only realized the importance of this. Although he had known about it for a long time, at that time he was only immersed in the irritability of the queen and princess being kidnapped and the case of continuing the demon book!

When this gets annoying, who will care about Zhang Chonghui, who is under his surveillance all day long and offends people everywhere!

Zhu Yijun felt more and more that something was strange, and unknowingly, he recalled the nightmare he had had on the fourteenth night of the first lunar month——

——"Your Majesty, you tied me up last year! This year, it's my turn to tie you up!"

Zhu Yijun was stunned, but at this moment, Chen Ju on the side seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and asked proactively:
"My lord, are you suspecting that...Zhang Chonghui's Tongwa kidnapped the empress and the princess?"
