Smuggling Daming

Chapter 326: A Family Reunion

What happened next doesn't need to be said by Zhengde, Zhou Zhong can guess it, Wu Shan must have found some evidence to prove his identity when he approached him, such as the things Zhou Hai left in the ancestral hall, etc. According to the evidence, Zhengde valued himself so much, not only gave him a marriage, but also promoted him to a high-ranking official like the admiral of the world.

"How can you be sure that I am the Zhu Houwei who was stolen back then? Just based on Wu Shan's speculation?" Zhou Zhong did not let go of the dagger in his hand after listening to Zhengde's narration, but still asked very vigilantly.Compared to his calmness, Wang Jinxuan, who was standing in the living room and hugging her daughter, was beyond shocked. She just stood there motionless. She never imagined that there was such a big secret hidden in her husband. .

"Of course not!" As soon as Zhou Zhong finished speaking, the middle-aged woman, Zhengde's mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, said with tears on her face, "When you were stolen from the palace by that thief Zhou Hai, your neck There is a long life lock made of jade hanging in the middle. This longevity lock has a strange shape. It was specially made by your two uncles with skillful craftsmen for nearly a year. There are two pieces in the world. You and Houzhao each There is a piece."

Queen Mother Zhang took out a long life lock made of jade from her bosom, which was exactly the one that Wu Shan had stolen from her home. At the same time, Zhou Hai's Jinyiwei waist badge and matching knife were also taken away.At this time, Zhengde also reached out his hand to take out a long-life lock from his collar, which was exactly the same style as the one in the hands of Queen Mother Zhang, and Queen Mother Zhang came over and joined the two semi-circular long-life locks together, which turned out to be a perfect fit.Become a perfect circle, you don't need to ask to know that this pair of longevity locks is a pair.

Seeing the two longevity locks, Zhou Zhong's heart shuddered, and at the moment he finally believed that Zhengde should not have lied, and that Zhu Houwei, who died prematurely according to historical records, did not actually die, but was stolen out of the palace by Zhou Hai.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong suddenly felt relieved, he didn't care about his life experience in this life, but if he was really Zhengde's younger brother.As the youngest son of Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xiaozong, he no longer has to worry about being implicated by Zhu Yunqi and Zhou Hai, and his relatives will not be threatened with their lives.

"Although everything else is correct and the Longevity Lock is true, why are you so sure that I am Zhu Houwei? Perhaps Zhou Hai had killed Zhu Houwei long ago. Then he hugged a baby of the same size as a fake. From Zhou Hai's point of view, there is really no need for him to take the risk of raising a prince?" Zhou Zhong asked again, a little worried, because it was about the safety of himself and his family, so he had to be careful.

"Don't worry about this, if you don't have the certainty of success. I don't dare to recognize my younger brother casually. The queen mother said that you had a mole on your right shoulder blade on the back when you were born. I have already asked Wu Shan to confirm this. The one on your back There is indeed a mole on the same part..."

Before Zhengde finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly interjected: "That mole is nothing, the key is that Zhou Zhong, your appearance is very similar to the former emperor, when Houzhao and the old man in the palace saw it for the first time. You almost thought that the first emperor was resurrected, these characteristics combined. Only then did the Aijia confirm that you are my hard-fated Houwei child~"

When Queen Mother Zhang said this.Tears welled up in his eyes again, and he took a step forward and gently grabbed Zhou Zhong's hand.Zhou Zhong didn't dodge again this time, he already believed what Empress Dowager Zhang said, after all, the other party's words were full of emotion, and his eyes couldn't deceive anyone, he believed that the poor mother was sure that he was her lost son.

Just thinking of this, Zhou Zhong let Empress Dowager Zhang gently take down the dagger in his hand, then watched Zhengde stand aside, and finally Empress Dowager Zhang, who was in tears, shouted "My son", and threw a Hugging Zhou Zhong and crying bitterly, she is not Daming's empress dowager now, but just an ordinary mother, a mother who watched her two daughters die young and the youngest son disappear.

Zhou Zhong was hugged and cried for a long time by Empress Dowager Zhang, and at last she stopped crying. At this moment, Zhou Zhong suddenly remembered, pointing at Zhengde angrily and questioning: "Since you already know my life experience , why didn't you tell me earlier, and just now you used Zhou Hai's crime to scare me, did you do that?"

Regarding Zhou Zhong's questioning, Zhengde smiled and said: "It's no wonder I, although I knew you were my younger brother when I was in the capital, and I wanted you to recognize your ancestors, but the sweet potatoes and corn you offered It's really important, and I didn't believe that Zhou Hai was dead at the time, so I didn't recognize you. Just now you thought of Nanyang aiding Malacca. According to my guess, Zhou Hai might also be there, so I agreed , I didn’t expect that this old thief would be lured out in the end.”

When Zhengde mentioned Zhou Hai, his face was full of resentment. Two younger sisters died young, his only younger brother was stolen, and he himself lost the ability to bear children. His younger brother, he still endured it, and finally let him succeed.

"Houwei, you really can't blame your elder brother for this matter. That thief Zhou Hai committed a heinous crime against our royal family. Your father wanted to catch him to avenge your two poor sisters until the end of his life. Unfortunately, he has never been able to." Now that I have finally caught Zhou Hai, I think your father can rest in peace!" Queen Mother Zhang has a gentle personality, but when she mentioned Zhou Hai, a murderous look flashed across her face, after all, her two daughters died in each other's hands. What's more, she was separated from Zhou Zhong's mother and son for many years. It can be said that Zhou Hai is the person Queen Mother Zhang hates the most in this world.

Seeing that his mother was angry, Zhengde hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "My mother, you don't have to be angry with a dying person. Now I still have some questions to ask Zhou Hai. After all, when he was in the court, he must have many accomplices and Supporters, although a batch of them were investigated and dealt with at the beginning, God knows if there are any leaks, after the interrogation is clear, I will definitely have someone take him to my father's tomb and scrape him alive, so as to pay homage to my father's soul in heaven!"

When Zhengde said the above words, he was full of murderous intent. He was definitely not joking. After all, with Zhou Hai's crimes, if he killed him with one knife, it would be too cheap for the other party.Although Zhou Zhong doesn't have any feelings for Zhou Hai, after all, he has raised Zhou Zhong for more than ten years, so now he doesn't know what to say.

Empress Dowager Zhang just met her son who had been separated for more than ten years, and she didn't want to mention these too bloody things, so she took Zhou Zhong's hand and came to Jinxuan's side, snatching her granddaughter for Zhou Zhong to watch.I saw the baby in the swaddle sleeping soundly, with a fat little hand on his mouth, sleeping very sweetly with his thumb in his small mouth.

"This... is this my daughter?" Zhou Zhong gently took the child from Queen Mother Zhang, but he still asked in disbelief. It was the first time for him to be a father in two lifetimes. When he was a child with this little person in his arms, he felt that his chest was about to explode, and an emotion that he didn't know how to describe filled his mind.

"Sir, Jinxuan is incompetent and cannot raise a son for the family, please punish me!" At this time, Jinxuan finally woke up from the shock, but the thought of giving birth to a daughter immediately made her feel sad, and even said In the end, even the tears flowed down. After all, in this day and age, it is the woman's fault not to have a son. She also blamed herself a lot during this time.

Seeing Jinxuan crying, Zhou Zhong immediately felt very distressed. If he hadn't been worried about the Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhengde here, he might have hugged Jinxuan in his arms to comfort him, but at this moment he still reached out and grabbed her hand Said: "Don't blame yourself, having children is not something you can control, and I prefer a quiet and beautiful daughter to a mischievous son, and we are so young, the big deal is to have a few more in the future!"

Hearing Zhou Zhong's comfort, Jin Xuan felt shy and happy at the same time.However, Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhengde did not agree with what the couple said. After all, Zhengde has no fertility and has no sons and daughters until now. Now that he finally has Zhou Zhong, his biological brother, he naturally hopes that he can give birth to a son soon. At that time, as an uncle, I will make him the crown prince, so that the Ming Dynasty can be stabilized, and at the same time, I will get rid of the thoughts of those kings.

The family reunion naturally has endless things to say, especially Queen Mother Zhang who is holding Zhou Zhong's hand and asking non-stop. Although she has learned a lot about Zhou Zhong from Zhengde, she just likes Zhou Zhong now. Listening to Zhou Zhong herself, especially Zhou Zhong's details about these things, is what she likes to hear the most.And maybe it's Aiwujiwu. Empress Dowager Zhang is also very enthusiastic about Jinxuan, holding her little granddaughter in her arms and never letting go. After all, this is her first grandchild, so she loves her very much. It's a pity that this is a granddaughter. If it is a grandson , It is estimated that Queen Mother Zhang will directly ask Zhengde to make him a prince.

The family chatted until dark, when Empress Dowager Zhang remembered that Zhou Zhong had just returned, and Zhengde had made a joke at noon, and she hadn't eaten well until now, and she must be tired and hungry now, so she hurriedly asked someone to prepare a banquet again , but this time it is a family banquet. Although there is wine at the banquet, it is only light wine. After all, the family still has a lot to say.

Accompanied Queen Mother Zhang for a dinner, during which they talked a lot. After the meal, Jinxuan carried her daughter and accompanied Queen Mother Zhang to the back to rest, because they knew that Zhou Zhong and Zhengde must have quarrels. If there are few words to say, these words are not suitable for women like them to listen to.

After seeing Queen Mother Zhang leave, Zhou Zhong suddenly asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, now Zhou Hai has fallen into your hands, I don't care about his life or death, but Aunt Wang, Bracelet and Duo'er are all mine. My relatives, and they are all innocent, please let them go for my sake!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
