little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 297
The earth dragon is burning in the study, and there are braziers in the corners of the walls. The warmth is like spring, but it can't match the treachery and coldness in the heart.

Daoist Chongxu was standing, Zhu Changluo was sitting, and Empress Dowager Li was half leaning on the soft couch.After revealing each other's identities, all three of them felt like they were in a dream.

"There are no outsiders here, and it's time to open up some words." The person who spoke was Daoist Chongxu, whose tall and majestic figure still brought heavy pressure. In the eyes of Empress Dowager Li, the smile on the corner of this person's mouth conveyed a sense of desperation. Ruthless, but in Zhu Changluo's eyes, it's all about sunset and powerlessness.

Empress Dowager Li trembled involuntarily, and said in a low voice: "Outsiders don't know how envious this magnificent palace is, but who knows that this palace is built with pots of blood and tears and countless lives... But the inside of the palace There are so many secrets, some are visible and some are not, if you figure out the consequences of speaking out, the Ai family will not persuade you."

The seemingly obscure yet profoundly meaningful words made Reverend Chongxu noticeably silent for a moment, then said with a smile on his face, "I understand what you mean. I have no intention of getting out alive again this time."

Empress Dowager Li's face was gloomy and ugly, she glanced at Zhu Changluo who was sitting quietly, and bowed her head in silence.

It seemed that the whole person was immersed in the memory, and the real person Chongxu's face was full of remembrance of the past, and he said after a long time: "As we all know, my father Emperor Jiajing was a good Taoist all his life, and the world said that he was mean and ruthless to his wife, but No one knows how many Buddhist rituals were done in order to obtain a son in the early years... Finally, in August of the 13th year of Jiajing, the first son Zhu Zaiji was born! The person who carries the foundation also carries the foundation of the country. How much the eldest son likes it."

While reminiscing and narrating, Chong Xu raised his head up all the time, his eyes were vacant, but then his face that had been frozen all the time finally smiled, the smile was not happy but gloating: "But it's a pity that after two months, the emperor The eldest son died."

"The death of the eldest son of the emperor plunged his father into deep grief. Tao Zhongwen, an alchemist, put forward a very shocking theory to him, that is, the so-called "two dragons do not meet each other". This means that the prince is a potential dragon, And the father is a real dragon, if the two dragons meet, they will be defeated and injured, so the early death of the eldest son of the emperor is an example."

I turned my head and caught a glimpse of Zhu Changluo, seeing that he was listening intently and seriously, I couldn't help but smiled and said: "It's good to hear, these are the secrets that you can't find even if you dig through the records of your ancestors."

Zhu Changluo snorted, completely noncommittal.

"The two dragons will not meet each other. At first, the father was skeptical, but he is an emperor who is more suspicious than everything else."

"Two years later, my father had a second son, named Zhu Zaiyu. After another three months, I harvested my third son, named Zhu Zaihou. After another month, the fourth His son also came into the world, and he was named Zhu Zaizhen." When she heard the name Zhu Zaihou, Empress Dowager Li's expression fluctuated again, and Chongxu smiled at Zhu Changluo: "We are the Ming Dynasty Zhu. The family has always been small, and the father has three sons within a year, so one can imagine the good mood."

The corners of Zhu Changluo's lips curled up slightly, revealing his ridicule: "In the 28th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zaihe, the then crown prince, died of a sudden illness after the ceremony. At that time, many ministers went to comfort the emperor, but the emperor ignored him. Only Tao Zhongwen The reply in the memorandum said: I have been persuaded by Qing, how can I have this!"

Daoist Chongxu clasped his palms and laughed loudly: "It seems that you are familiar with the memoirs of past emperors."

Zhu Changluo bowed his head and remained silent, remembering that when he recited the memoirs back then, Ye He laughed at the side and said that he had not yet become emperor, so what is the use of reading these memoirs... Yesterday is still in front of my eyes, and the neck of the day that was exchanged for the old friendship The room was icy cold...Suddenly felt that something in the bottom of my heart was gently cracking, apart from soreness, it was raw pain.

"In this way, there are only two sons left by my father's side. One is King Yu, who has become the real eldest son of the emperor because of the death of his two brothers, and the other is me...Jing Wang Zhu Zaizhen, and I and this lucky one The elder brother of the eldest son of the emperor is only one month away!" At this point, Chongxu showed an almost distorted smile to Zhu Changluo: "Do you know? As a prince, I have always envied you as the eldest son of the emperor."

Zhu Changluo looked at him calmly, but his heart was turbulent.Based on the historical records he knew, Emperor Jiajing didn't dislike the dull and incompetent King Yu, but he disliked him very much.But because of the special governance system of the Ming Dynasty, King Yu's status as the eldest son of the emperor won him the ultimate support of all the ministers. Then set up a prince.

Zhu Changluo responded indifferently and simply, saying: "No matter who the emperor chooses, this is the destiny, and it cannot be forced."

This sentence has a double meaning, like a fire ignited a bundle of firewood poured with oil, and immediately his eyes were burned red, and he said loudly: "What kind of shit is the eldest son of the emperor, I am only one month away from him, one month away!" !"

"At that time, my father's stubbornness in setting up a crown prince had already led to great speculations from all over the court. At that time, King Yu's mother was Concubine Dukang, but my father didn't like her, but my mother, Lu Jing. Concubine." Suddenly turned his head and pointed at Empress Dowager Li: "Tell me, am I right?"

Empress Dowager Li was silent for a long while, the veins on the back of her hand holding the Buddhist beads bulged, and she said after a long while, "That's right, at that time, everyone in the government and the public were guessing that Emperor Sejong really wanted to make you his heir, and because of this, our Prince Yu's Mansion lived a very precarious period of time." , Speaking of it, those days were really hard."

A smugness flashed in Chongxu's eyes: "You guys are living in fear, but the emperor is very kind to me, not only rewarding the most things, even that traitor Yan Song came to flatter me."

Zhu Changluo interrupted his pride: "So you have an evil heart and want to treat him offside?"

Chongxu seems to be very excited, anyone and any word can irritate him at any time: "King Yu's greed for flowers is ridiculous, he is mediocre, in terms of talent and tools, he is not even as good as my toe, many times when I entered the palace, Father looked at me and sighed, and I knew why he was sighing! I hate the status of the damned eldest son of the emperor, and those unrepentant servants, they all deserve to die!"

Empress Dowager Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly gritted her teeth and hissed: "Shut up! King Yu is not the kind of person you said! He is greedy and lustful, but compared with you who are self-willed, ruthless and cold-hearted, he doesn't know how to compare with you." How many times stronger."

Chongxu suddenly turned his head, and his gaze towards Empress Dowager Li became as sharp as a blade.Under his gaze, Empress Dowager Li dared not look at him, she bit her lip to avoid his sight.

"Are you blaming me for giving you to him back then?" The corner of Daoist Chongxu's mouth twitched into a thick sneer: "But I didn't force you back then, you voluntarily went there, didn't you?"

"You are too ruthless and inhuman. In your heart, there is only the throne and nothing else, and everyone is a tool in your hands. In fact, in those years, you were already a lunatic." The face of the Queen Mother Li with her head down There was an abnormal flush on the surface, and the old hand tightly clenched the Buddhist beads in his hand. It seemed that only by doing so could he calm down his emotions: "...the time in King Jing's Mansion has always been the most regrettable thing in Aijia's life. thing."

Daoist Chongxu stared at him fiercely, his eyes hidden under his bright brows were darkly flickering with crazy and fiery light: "Even if I am crazy, I was driven crazy by you! You all betrayed me, so Said that you all deserve to die, and those who betrayed me deserve to die!"

Empress Dowager Li's calm body trembled violently again, and it seemed that there was no longer enough air, which made her weakly lay on the couch and opened her mouth to breathe heavily.

When Zhu Changluo heard the word "betrayal", Zhu Changluo was deeply moved. Seeing him berating the queen mother arrogantly, he couldn't help but lash out: "Winners and losers, what pride is there to be proud of? People change people's hearts. If you have a clear conscience, why bother to blame others? "

Without waiting for Chongxu to refute, Zhu Changluo said coldly: "Continue to tell the story, your time is running out."

Daoist Chongxu glared at him, with blood in his eyes: "My brother and I have been in such a stalemate. Father has always been very kind to me but never mentioned the matter of reserve. I have always firmly believed that one day, Father would make the wisest judgment... But until the 42nd year of Jiajing, everything changed because of the appearance of a child of the emperor's brother. The father, who had always ignored the emperor's brother, finally admitted the emperor's grandson, And always called into the palace to get close."

Zhu Changluo laughed and said: "Man is not as good as God, even if Emperor Sejong believes that the two dragons will not meet each other, but the birth of the three dragons means that there are successors in Prince Yu's mansion, but you have nothing to do. It's messy enough, and it's only natural for Emperor Sejong to make such a choice."

To someone who hit the nail on the head, it was as painful as piercing the skin to the bone.Daoist Chongxu roared angrily: "Who says I have no heirs, I have heirs too!"

Zhu Changluo seemed to provoke him intentionally: "Do you have an heir? Where is it?"

Daoist Chongxu's eyes were about to burst, but Empress Dowager Li quietly lowered her head, the expression in her eyes was changing, thoughtful.

Zhu Changluo endured it for a long time, once he opened his mouth, he didn't want to stop, stood up and raised his eyebrows, staring at Chongxu with clear water eyes: "I will tell you the next thing, because you feel that the general situation is over, and you see that Emperor Sejong has been in uniform for many years. Dan, you are already seriously ill, so you are going to fight to the death... So you colluded with the eunuchs and planned to murder Emperor Sejong, right?" Suddenly remembered something, his eyes sparkled: "You can break into the Forbidden Palace at night, presumably that Zhang Cheng is too. You were in the remaining party in the palace."

Daoist Chongxu stared at him blankly, but his eyes were full of mixed feelings, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed wildly, and after a while, he even burst into tears.

Zhu Changluo frowned and looked at him, feeling that he had guessed wrong, but he didn't know where he was wrong.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Li, who hadn't spoken for a long time, sighed quietly: "Although Lord Jing is incompetent, he is not a person who would murder his own father."

Zhu Changluo and Chongxu were stunned at the same time, neither of them thought that Empress Dowager Li would actually speak for him.

"In fact, the person he wanted to kill back then was King Yu." Empress Dowager Li inserted her nails deeply into her palm, as if she couldn't suppress her trembling body, but her voice was unusually gentle and calm: "That day, King Yu suddenly received a message from the insider. The supervisor issued a decree saying that His Majesty Shizong is in a critical situation, and King Yu and his grandson are required to go to Qianqing Palace to see him." Even though the time has passed, thinking of the extremely dangerous situation at that time, Empress Dowager Li still couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Chongxu gritted his teeth and sneered: "Unexpectedly, the bitch is promiscuous, but he is a little alert! I didn't expect my ineffective brother, who is so cowardly and cowardly to die, with soft ears, to listen to your words and even care about his father's life and death." , Later, I couldn't hide, so I summoned two old thieves, Xu Jie Gao Gong, to protect me and enter the palace, which made me fail, a complete defeat!" A few words were simple, but they were really heart-wrenching.

On December 45, Jiajing [-], Emperor Jiajing was critically ill.At that time, Gao Gong, who was a lecturer in Yuwang's mansion, personally led people to worship King Yu into the palace. Afterwards, the palace gate was closed.

The process is so simple, but only the parties know what happened in it.At this point, Zhu Changluo, who finally understood the whole story, has suddenly realized, and ignored the gritted teeth of Chongxu, who turned to Empress Dowager Li and said, "Auntie Huang, this person is trying to kill his brother and seize the throne. The crime is extremely serious. Why didn't you give him a gift at the beginning?" Death, it's all over?"

Empress Dowager Li remained silent, and Chongxu laughed endlessly: "Bitch, why don't you speak?"

Chongxu pointed to Empress Dowager Li and said to Zhu Changluo: "Let me tell you the reason. She was originally a court lady I gave to the emperor from the palace. I fell in love with Brother Huang, and wholeheartedly planned for him without saying anything, but vainly succumbed to me, making my plans go to waste several times, it is really annoying and hateful!"

Empress Dowager Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly screamed: "I have never been sorry to you! Although I have ruined your affairs several times, I have never leaked a single word of your intentions and schemes... I Lord Baoyu is making plans for his own children, what is wrong with me?"

"Even if you can live to this day, it is because of my kindness in the past, otherwise, how could you be safe until now! You have always failed me in this life! Until now, what face do you still have to say about me? Isn't it? The celestial eye is clear, and there must be retribution!" As she spoke, Empress Dowager Li's voice became more and more mournful, and even the tears in her eyes that had been stored for a long time finally rolled down, but anyone could hear the idiot in these words. The lingering love and the entanglement that has gone deep into the bone marrow.

Daoist Chongxu's face was contorted, he wished he could cover his ears immediately, and suddenly changed color: "Shut up, shut up, don't talk!"

This thrilling night is exactly what the entrants are fascinated by, and the bystanders understand that sentence.Things have evolved to this point, Zhu Changluo seems to have understood everything.

When King Jing launched a coup, he contacted and colluded with the internal supervisor and Shangzhiwei Zhongren, trying to harm King Yu under the pretext that Jiajing was critically ill.But I didn't expect that although King Yu was cowardly and incompetent, he had Empress Dowager Li inside, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and other capable officials outside, which finally made him fail.I have always wondered how King Jing, who was already dead, would be resurrected in place. Now the truth is revealed by Xue Huayunkai. Needless to say, this must be the work of Queen Mother Li.

Raising his eyes to look at the ferocious real Chongxu, and then at the pale Empress Dowager Li, Zhu Changluo's eyes were clear and deep, like water soaked in snow.
