But Zhu Gaochi gave the room to Guo Ying's second son without saying a word.

Because Guo was the granddaughter of Guo Ying's second son, and the one who inherited the title was Guo's brother.

Zhu Gaochi skipped the eldest grandson who should have inherited the title and gave the title to the brother of his favorite concubine.

It's like rubbing the face of the Guo family's eldest son on the ground.

What's worse, the royal family's reputation was tarnished beyond all recognition.

The eldest son, Guo Zhen, married Princess Yongjia, and their eldest son, Guo Zhen, was the grandson of the emperor's grandfather.

This Guo Zhen is the eldest son and grandson of Marquis Wuding. He has the blood of the Zhu family and is a cousin of Zhu Gaochi.

With all these identities combined, he still hasn't been able to do anything more than a concubine!

This is what Guo is thinking.

From beginning to end, it is not an exaggeration to say ten thousand.

From the beginning, she persuaded Zhu Gaochi to confer the title of Lady of Yingguo on her grandmother, Yan, to lay a solid foundation for her brothers, to the end, when her brothers inherited the title, everything went so smoothly.

Yan, who was actually a concubine, was confirmed by the emperor as Lady of the British Palace. This meant that the branch of Yan was the legitimate lineage, and the other concubines were immediately inferior to Yan.

Is there any problem in inheriting the title without going through the eldest son's family?

Even if you are the eldest son in the family, you are only the eldest and are just a concubine's eldest son.

Even if you marry into the royal family, you are still a concubine's eldest son.

The royal princess' husband is a bastard!

Zhu Gaochi himself dragged the old Zhu family's face down and stepped on it ten thousand times.

If Guo hadn't been so roundabout in trying to elevate himself, Zhang Xin wouldn't have felt so upset.

All of this is playing with fire while violating the rules.

As someone who has always lived within the rules, she couldn't swallow this mouthful of blood.

It was obvious that Zhu Gaochi gave Guo extraordinary favor.

She accompanied Zhu Gaochi for so many years, and even if she had no credit, she had worked hard.

Even if you don't want to thank me, please show some respect.

Guo's family was held in such high esteem. As the queen's family, anyone who went out and met someone from the Guo family had to pay their respects.

The enthronement ceremony that Zhu Gaochi gave to Guo was also written in such a touching manner, and it was read out in front of everyone.

When Guo's youngest son fell ill, Zhu Gaochi personally prayed for him.

Later, when Zhu Gaochi died, people below asked which concubines should accompany him to die. She really hated Guo who led Zhu Gaochi astray, so she chose Guo without any hesitation.

Since you are so happy, then you can also be happy down there!!

After this incident, when her son Zhu Zhanji insisted on replacing Queen Hu, she finally reacted.

She hated the wrong person.

It is possible that all of the above was not the idea of ​​Guo alone, but the result of the joint efforts of Zhu Gaochi and Guo.

During the time when Guo was in the Eastern Palace and served as a noble concubine, she wrote letters to the Guo family from time to time.

These letters have leaked out.

The content is all about urging the children and nephews in the family to study, respect the elderly and love the young, and so on.

The courtiers gave her a heavy coat of gold paint.

What does a virtuous and kind imperial concubine want to do? It is obvious that she is trying to exaggerate public opinion in order to become the queen in the future.

If Zhu Gaochi lived longer as emperor, her position as queen would have to be taken by someone else.

Just as, his own son, despite his own opposition, deposed Queen Hu and replaced her with the one he loved.

The men in the Zhu family are both passionate and heartless.

He likes whatever he does, no matter how he does it.

He doesn't like something, no matter how well it is done.

When Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were no longer around, and there was no one to suppress or control him anymore.

As long as he gained a firm foothold, she, the queen who always advised him this and that, could be deposed at will.

These things are all terrifying when you think about them carefully. How much of them were caused by Zhu Gaochi?

And if she was really abolished, Zhan Ji would definitely not have a good ending.

Everyone thought that Zhu Gaochi was able to secure the position of crown prince and then ascend the throne only because he had a good son favored by his father-in-law.

Xie Jin's words "good holy grandson" directly nailed Zhu Gaochi to the pillar of shame.

Zhu Gaochi happily accepted the position of crown prince because of his son, but was there always a thorn in his heart?

Zhu Gaochi had no shortage of sons.

Guo gave birth to many children.

If she didn't connect the dots between some things, she wouldn't have known that Zhu Gaochi's plan was so big and started so early.

If Zhu Gaochi, her bedmate, had not suddenly collapsed, even if he was plotted to death, she would not have understood what was going on.

I can only blame myself for not winning my husband's heart.

All the things were not only directed at himself, but also at Zhan Ji.

Not long after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Zhanji was sent to the capital to find a suitable location for moving the capital, and in the future he would be in charge of the entire capital relocation.

Moving the capital is no big deal, but the prince is entrusted with such an important task.

But in reality, it would take at least ten to eight years to complete this matter.

Everyone can see how many years it took to build my father-in-law's Forbidden City and how much manpower and material resources it consumed.

He sent Zhanji to the capital alone, keeping him away from court affairs. He could not work well with the ministers in the court and might offend the Ministry of Revenue, a key department that paid money, at any time.

While Zhanji is away, he can also gradually place Guo’s adult sons in various departments.

Under the pretext of helping the Crown Prince in the future, we put a lot of effort into training him.

No one can blame it.

This may just be one of the reasons why he asked Zhanji to go to the capital.

When Zhang Xin reviewed the situation, she discovered that there was an even more vicious direction.

Zhu Gaochi's two younger brothers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, were not at peace at that time. They were always ready to make a comeback and launch another Jingnan Rebellion.

The fiefs of these two people were between the capital and Peking.

So, wasn't the fact that Zhanji was alone outside an opportunity created by Zhu Gaochi for his two younger brothers?

As long as something happens to Zhanji, he will be injured, disabled or dead.

The protection shield that the father-in-law bestowed on Zhanji as the Crown Prince was no longer effective.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui moved against the Crown Prince, so Zhu Gaochi no longer had to worry about the relationship between brothers.

The interesting thing is that no matter which direction all of this develops, it makes sense, and no matter which direction it goes, it's a dead end for Zhang Xin.

She only figured these things out later.

Zhu Gaochi was much smarter than his father-in-law and his son.

These are not even on the same scale.

In her previous life, she worked diligently and honestly. The only thing she did that made her feel guilty was to let Guo be buried alive with her.

It was not until I figured it out that I realized how stupid I was, so stupid that I cannot describe it.

People have plotted against her eight hundred times, but she still doesn't understand.

Letting Guo die was the smartest thing she did in her life!

The reason why she can have a good relationship with Zhu Gaochi now is just because she is well-educated.

Of course, Zhu Gaochi had not yet been blinded by lust at this time.

Speaking objectively, the sins committed by Zhu Gaochi in his previous life cannot be blamed on Zhu Gaochi in this life.

Before she came back, she had considered whether she could defeat Zhu Gaochi.

But in order to prevent her son from dying, she had no choice but to fight.

By accident.

Zhu Gaochi was stamped with a seal of approval by others.

Yeah.

Whether she was happy or not, the treatment was indeed very different. In all those years in her previous life, she had never received as much as Zhu Gaochi had given her in the past two years.

As for my own joy, hahaha——

[Small science: To prevent you from being confused by all the names, let me briefly summarize it. Guo's brothers - not the eldest son, not the legitimate son, and not a royal relative - managed to make a comeback because of Guo's favorite concubine. The entire timeline of this later part is also based on the history of the Ming Dynasty. Favoring concubines and killing wives, anything is possible.]
