little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 19 Guilty
The name of the inspirational book was started by Shen Shixing.Because Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue copied it in time and distributed it deliberately, the book was widely circulated in a short period of time, and everyone in the government and the public had a copy. Naturally, Shen Laohu's ulterior purpose is self-evident.

By the time Wanli came back to his senses, it was too late to exercise restraint. Apart from jumping and furious, there was only a dumb man eating Coptis chinensis, but he couldn't express his anger in his heart.If there is any action at this time, it can only confirm the suspicion of the majority of courtiers.You must know that the hat of greedy and lustful on the emperor's head has not been taken off. If such a hat of ruthlessness and lack of kindness is put on now, how can the emperor who is high above the sky and the royal family admired by all the people be embarrassed, and people's words are terrible...

The only beneficiary of this matter is the instigator Zhu Changluo, who overnight became the best candidate for Ming Dynasty's successor in the hearts of the courtiers.It is said that Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second, but the eldest son of the emperor can write such a sincere article at such a young age. Isn't this the sage from heaven and the future lord who protects Daming that everyone has been looking forward to?
The Wanli emperor was honored by his good son, and he became very popular.There are not many fathers in the world who treat their children like this, and there are even fewer fathers who allow their sons to write a complaint.But the emperor is the emperor, and no one dared to say anything wrong with the emperor, so Concubine Zheng was shot and fell to the ground in a reasonable way, but it is estimated that she was not wronged.

Zhu Changxun, the third son of the emperor who grew up a few years later, once questioned Concubine Zheng about this matter, "That bastard clearly used this to deal with you, making father and emperor so embarrassing to you, mother concubine, how can you bear it?" Gotta get down!"

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it!" Concubine Zheng did not get angry at all, and said lightly: "You are loved by your father, mother and concubine, and your life will be smooth. Compared with Zhu Changluo's bumpy steps, it is not tempered."

"If it were me, I would have killed that bastard with a knife! Once it's done, why would I develop today's serious troubles!" Zhu Changxun didn't care about tempering or not. expression.

"Life in the palace is long, and losing for a while is nothing! When you are proud, you will be frustrated. This is how things are. Just because you can't do anything to him now, doesn't mean you can't do anything to him in the future. If you can't do anything but him now, you have to be patient. Endure it until you have the ability to kill him. Otherwise, don't be impulsive, if you are impulsive, there will be no other consequences except humiliating yourself."

These words were full of insights, but the spoiled Zhu Changxun didn't listen to a single word.Although Concubine Zheng Gui said indifferently, her heart was still bleeding.Because every word in this passage was exchanged for her blood and tears in the long-term struggle with Zhu Changluo.Concubine Zheng Gui couldn't say any more, she would be in tears if she said too much.

It is said that Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning with the wind on his feet, stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and raised his eyes to see the Empress Dowager sitting upright on the couch, seemingly waiting for him to come.Wanli suppressed his anger, and first glared at the queen who was standing beside the queen mother.When he saw the queen for the first time, he had already made a decision.

After saluting the queen mother, she sat down beside her. "Mother, my son has something to say."

Looking at her son with a complicated expression, Empress Dowager Li felt mixed feelings.The son who was raised by himself is the one who knows best what kind of temperament a mother has.Although Empress Dowager Li is not well-educated, she has a clear mind, she can tell what is right and what is wrong, her son has been caught by that vixen and cannot escape, how can a mother watch her son make mistakes again and again !So this time Queen Mother Li decided to intervene.

From the bottom of my heart, the queen mother didn't want to stand in line with the question of who the emperor appointed as the prince.The queen is very good, and the queen mother likes it very much. If she can give birth to a son, the queen mother will naturally support her and make decisions for her. Unfortunately, this road is obviously dead.

That being the case, it doesn't matter which one of the emperor's only two sons is chosen to succeed.The matter was wronged by Concubine Zheng, as long as Concubine Zheng calmed down and pretended for another two years with her tail between her legs, when the big event was settled, it would be difficult for the Empress Dowager to say anything even if she wanted to go back on her word.It's a pity that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Concubine Zheng has always been domineering and arrogant, relying on her favor to suppress the queen and concubines, making the harem a mess.Empress Dowager Li saw all these in her eyes and was annoyed in her heart.

The so-called bystanders are clear, while the authorities are confused.What does the emperor think, what does Concubine Zheng think about?After seeing through her son's true thoughts and denying Concubine Zheng's character, the Queen Mother's balance has already fallen to Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor.

"An old woman from Ai's family lived a few more years to make people dislike her. She is not as precious as your sweetheart. Don't expect anyone to listen to what you say. The emperor speaks when he has something to say, and Ai's family listens."

Empress Dowager Li gave Wanli a head-on first with a mocking tone.Wanli trembled when he heard the smell, which was a sign of his old lady's attack.

It is said that knowing a child is like a mother, and similarly, knowing a mother is like a son.Empress Dowager Li can transform from a court lady into the supreme empress dowager. It can be said in a simple sentence, but who knows how much bitterness and danger lies behind this step to the sky?
Back then, when the concubine was in power in Prince Yu's mansion, as a concubine, she overwhelmed the concubine and took charge of the affairs of the whole family. Her actions were well-founded, generous and fair, and even the concubine and Prince Yu praised her highly.Just relying on this scheming and ability is far beyond comparison.Therefore, Wanli is still a little apprehensive about his old lady's ability.

"I want to abolish the empress!" After hesitating for a moment, Wanli gritted his teeth and finally said what he wanted to say.There was thunder on the flat ground, shocking countless people.

The queen at the side shook her body a few times, and Huichun quickly managed to hold her up so that she did not fall down, but her face had already turned as white as paper.

Empress Dowager Li stood still, sitting upright like a mountain.He sneered and said: "Since entering the palace, the queen has been diligent and dignified. She is close to the six palaces. She is filial and humble. She has never lost her virtue. Besides, the queen's mother is respectful to the world. Even if you are the king of a country, how can you be lightly dismissed if you have no reason to do so!" Is there any reason for you to say so?"

Now that it's started, Wanli is not polite. "The empress has been in the palace for many years, but she has nothing to do. Because the latter cannot give birth to a son, she has lost her virtue and is not worthy of being a queen!"

"There are indeed seven rules for women to come out. Women have to go to court if they don't come out. But how can the royal family be the same as the folks? There are countless concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards. Is it just for watching? The emperor Yuji 15 years Why are there only two princes alive under his knees? Is it the queen's fault or that one's fault for the emperor's withering? The emperor must know better than the Ai family!"

Jiang was still old and hot, and Empress Dowager Li made a move to move the universe away, deftly diverting the topic of the queen's infertility, and skillfully directed the fire to Concubine Zheng, with a vague intention of asking for guilt.Although the amount of information contained in the few words was huge, Wanli was immediately forced to dare not bring up this topic again.

It is true that the queens of the past dynasties have been barren, but there is really no queen who was abolished because of this incident.Why does the emperor have so many wives?In addition to satisfying personal physiological and greedy needs, the most important one is to give birth to an imperial heir.This cannot be born, but that can be born.It's better if the queen can give birth, but it's okay if she can't.

Infertility must be very sad for the queen. After all, this is an incomplete life for a woman, and it is a regret that cannot be made up in a lifetime.But it's really not a big deal for the royal family.As a couple married by a famous matchmaker, Wanli's move is like killing the Queen's heart with a knife, which is really unkind.

"My son also knows that infertility is not a big mistake! If she keeps her own place, I will forget it. Based on today's incident, I will punish her." The emperor was furious, and he spoke plausibly.Speaking of this, the empress stopped standing and knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Li without saying a word, tears streaming down her face.

The queen mother is very satisfied with the queen's daughter-in-law.Since entering the palace, he has asked for instructions early and reported late to be considerate and considerate. He has cared for himself for so many years, and has never acted rebelliously.Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have the same love as mother and daughter, which far surpasses all kinds of relationships.The emperor's behavior is the same as that of the queen mother.Everything is the fault of that lowly maidservant, she really played like a monster!Thinking of the classic saying of the emperor's grandson, Empress Dowager Li sneered slightly.

"Emperor, you have been in power for many years, so you should know the seriousness. The inner palace is just like the previous dynasty. If the inner palace is not peaceful, the previous dynasty will be unstable. You said it was wrong for the empress to send this letter to the Ai family? Then you indulge Chuxiu Palace Isn’t it wrong for that bitch to confuse the Sacred Heart and the palace rules? Isn’t it!”

The queen mother was unambiguous, the anger that had been suppressed for many years suddenly burst out!Raising his hand and swiping, all the cups, plates and bowls on the table fell on the ground. After a loud jingle, Wanli also knelt down on the ground, just in time to form a pair with the queen.

"Mother, calm down, the son saw the writing on the note, and every sentence was full of resentment. The eldest son of the emperor was young and ignorant, but as a queen, she didn't know how to reprimand and guide the eldest son of the emperor, and presented this thing to the empress to watch , the intention is really unpredictable."

If you can take it for granted, the queen mother was offended by her son. "Emperor, you see that the words written here are all resentful words, but why does the Ai family see that everything is true?" Wanli, who was exposed by the Queen Mother, blushed, bowed his head, and did not speak.

"Emperor, you are the only son of the Ai family. When the first emperor was King Yu, he was not liked by Emperor Sejong. What kind of life do we live in the palace?" Bi is an emperor and cannot be pushed too much.The queen mother slowed down her voice and brought up the past, she couldn't bear to look back.Thinking about the precarious and miserable days before, I still shudder when I think about it.The queen mother sighed, "Parents' love for their children is innate. Luo'er is your own eldest son, even if his biological mother is lowly, why do you treat him so poorly?" The queen mother really can't figure out this point!
Hearing his mother mention the past, Wanli was not moved at all, but instead ignited a trace of evil fire in his heart that had been suppressed for a long time.Without even thinking about it, I blurted out. "The birth mother is lowly, and the son she gave birth to is not so good."

This sentence hit the empress dowager's lungs hard!The composure skills cultivated all his life were broken in an instant.He stood up suddenly, his face was flushed, he pointed at Wanli with his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "I see! You...don't forget, you are also born of a palace maid!"

Empress Dowager Li, who has always been unable to figure out the reason why her son despises her grandson, finally has an answer!It turns out...it's just because his mother is a court lady.After drawing inferences from one instance to another, the Queen Mother finally understood!She is also a court lady, she dared to mess with her son for a long time, but it was herself, and she was the culprit of everything!How can this not make Queen Mother Li, who has been worrying all her life, sad and angry.

Faced with Queen Mother Li's outburst of anger, Wanli, who understood that his momentary slip of the tongue had hurt his mother's heart, felt remorseful, and there was no need to admit his mistakes at this time.Wanli, who had nothing to say, could only remain silent.

The mother and son fell into a stalemate, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.The Queen Wang on the side was trembling all over and dared not say a word.At this delicate moment, no matter who she speaks to, she will definitely bear the anger from both sides. The queen is not stupid, she is also silent.

One must tie the bell to untie it.In the end it was Empress Dowager Li who breathed a sigh of relief.Looking at the son who was kneeling on the ground and hurting himself all his life, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and waved his hands in a frenzy, "You all get up." The emperor and the empress looked at each other, and stood up with complicated thoughts .

Without even looking at the emperor, Empress Dowager Li said in a solemn voice: "Preach the decree of mourning the family. The empress is virtuous and chaste, and rules the six palaces. She has no merit or demerit. The matter of abolishing the empress is not allowed to be mentioned again!"
