The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

The main hall of the Compassion Palace is brightly lit.Her Majesty did not go to bed and was waiting for us.

Although she could no longer control the emperor's actions, she was still able to hear and see clearly in the palace.

"Mother originally had a glimmer of hope in you, but you have come after all." The queen mother sat on the phoenix seat, looking at us coldly.

Heidan led me to her, and bowed down, "I think the queen mother already knows that the Hu family has lost morals, and the son wants to abolish the queen."

"Bastard! If you want to do such a thing, you simply pretend that you don't have this mother and just do it yourself. Why are you asking my Yizhi to do it! You just came here—to take her with you!"

Heidan opened his mouth and was about to retort, I pressed his hand tightly to signal him not to speak.

The overall situation has been decided, even if the Queen Mother is angry, let her vent it.

Although this day will come sooner or later, I still hope that their mother and son will not break up.

However, Heidan didn't listen to me this time. He held my hand behind his back and said, "It's the son's fault to disobey the mother. It's okay for the mother to scold or beat me, but Ruowei never did anything wrong. Ruowei When Wei entered the palace back then, the queen mother agreed with the Sun family that she would be the grandson's wife, but in the end she made Ruowei a concubine. This was a breach of trust by the Sun family and the world. Did Ruowei ever complain? I had no choice but to break promises back then, and now no one can force my son to return the position that Ruowei should have deserved, so it’s not just for the empress to clean up the bad name of dishonesty.”

"At the beginning you wanted to make her queen, mother agreed, and you made her! Why did you insist on rubbing the Hu family like this and implicating Qi Zhen?"

"My son can't agree to the burial that the queen mother said. The son can't let Ruowei's life be at the mercy of others." He looked up at the queen mother and said, "Even if it's the queen mother, it won't work. Even if the son dies, it won't work. "

"You!" The queen mother was so angry that she became dizzy for a while. Heidan and I hurriedly got up to help, but she waved her arm away: "This female worker is scheming and has vicious wrists. You are not willing to let her be buried. If one day you get power It fell into her hands..." When she said this, she suddenly stopped, grabbed my sleeve and said: "You pretended to give up the back position, and then gave Qi Zhen to the Hu family, but in fact, you are aiming at the position of the crown prince. Isn't it! It took a lot of trouble, just to turn your Qi Yu into the eldest son, isn't it!"

as she said.

Heidan and I's plan is that if the Empress Dowager insists on keeping the Hu family as the main wife, we will have a reason to transfer Qi Zhen to the Hu family, and then Qi Yu will become my eldest son.

When the Hu family is abolished and I am made queen, Qi Yu will be the eldest son. At that time, Heidan will make him the crown prince, and it will be justified.

Therefore, I do not deny the Queen Mother's words, I just keep silent.

Seeing me like this, she knew what she expected was right, she hated me so much, she raised her hand to hit me, but was blocked by Heidan, and the slap fell heavily on Heidan's face.

Just hearing the sound of "pop", I suddenly felt distressed.The queen mother was also taken aback.

Heidan guarded me behind him: "This matter is my son's idea. Mother wants to vent her anger and beat me. I hit the wrong person."

The Empress Dowager burst into tears: "You have completely forgotten how my mother taught you since you were a child... Your ambition since childhood, for the sake of this woman, you have also given up everything. To abolish empresses, to put it simply, how many emperors have abolished empresses in history?" ?Who here is a good record in the writings of later historians? Leaving aside, Song Renzong was the emperor of the prosperous age, but when later generations mentioned him, who would not say "the two queens of life and death"? You are now being deceived by her Mind, playing tricks and easily abolishing the Hu family, but you can't wash away your infamy after exhaustion! You are the emperor, and every word and deed will go into the annals of history. Do you still want your reputation after a hundred years?"

She slumped down on the phoenix seat.

When I heard the last few sentences, I suddenly felt sorry for Heidan.Just as he was about to say something, Heidan said: "My son is confident that he can make the Ming Dynasty prosperous and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. At that time, the people will naturally have a son's reputation. Even if later generations of historians criticize him harshly, his son will have a clear conscience. If you are a king, you must Use a woman who has wronged you in exchange for a false name, this false name is not worth it! The sages have said, "Cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world." If a son can't even handle family affairs well, how can he govern the country?"

The Empress Dowager sneered and said, "Before, you stole a dragon and turned a phoenix into a phoenix, and then you framed the Hu family. Oh, you are a majestic emperor, and you have framed a concubine. This is unheard of in all dynasties! You used such methods to 'qi the family'?"

Heidan said: "If there are other options, son and Ruowei, why would you want to use these methods?"

"Since Hu's marriage, she has never lost her virtue. She framed her for no reason. I will never allow you to set this precedent in the palace."

Heidan suddenly laughed.

I knew what he was going to say, so I quickly tugged on his sleeve to make him think twice.

Heidan said: "My mother always said that the Hu family has not lost their virtue. Well, if the son said that the Hu family ordered the internal officials to mix musk into the pepper wall of Ruowei's bedroom from Nanjing to Beijing, which not only violated the "seven outs". The article of jealousy, and even the murder of the imperial concubine and the heir, is this crime enough to abolish the empress?"

Whether it is in Nanjing Taisun Palace or Beijing Taisun Palace, Heidan once asked Zhu Di to paint the walls of my bedroom with pepper and mud to make the room warm and fragrant, and to add some good intentions of "many children".

After we got married, I was infertile for a long time, and then I got pregnant one after another, one time when I was on the way to move north, and the other time when I was raising a baby in the East Palace, but they were not in my own palace.I didn't think it was strange at first. Heidan grew up in the palace, and knew the women in the palace were shady, so I went to investigate secretly. It was originally to prepare for the abolition of the Hu family, but who knew...

The Empress Dowager did not change her expression and said: "The eunuch who was in charge of the eunuch is dead, even if there is something unclean in the wall paint, how can you get witnesses to testify that it was Hu's instigation?"

Heidan said: "What the mother said is true. But in this palace, from Nanjing to Beijing, from the 15th year of Yongle to the 22nd year of Yongle, there are not many people in this palace who have managed to mobilize the internal officials and prisons for so many years. Too many The people from the hospital came to Ruowei more than once for diagnosis, and none of them dared to speak about Musk. Who else could do this, except Hu? Are you trying to frame a concubine?"

As soon as these words came out, the last bit of face between mother and child was completely torn apart.

Only blatant calculations and threats remained.

Protect the Hu family, or protect yourself, the queen mother has no choice.

"Okay, good, good, great." The queen mother stood up: "You are really a good son of this palace." Pointing at me again: "You are really a good daughter-in-law of this palace! You are excellent! Come on! Revenge is settled! I have already achieved this step, why don't you strangle me to death and let me die for the late emperor!"

Heidan knelt down again, and said: "When the queen mother says such things, she makes her son unfilial and makes him have no place to stand. The son's life is given by the queen mother. If the queen mother doesn't like her son, she can make a decree tonight." , abolished my son." I also knelt down with him.

To abolish the emperor, if it was possible a few months ago, the current empress dowager no longer has the ability.

She stood up and walked in front of us like a ghost, without looking back: "You are not my son, you are the emperor. If you want to abolish the queen, go and abolish it. If you want to abolish the queen mother, you can do whatever you want. Whatever you do, just do it, for eternity, merits and demerits, right and wrong, you have to bear it yourself. You don’t have a mother, and your mother can’t control you anymore.”

The expected quarrel turned into an unexpected breakup.

Heidan stood up, helped me up too, took my hand and walked out of the Compassionate Peace Palace.

A full moon shines in the sky, the stars are hidden under the brilliance, and the universe is empty and boundless.I can't say whether it is isolation or freedom.

He and I stood in front of the gate of the Palace of Compassion and Peace, silent for a long time.

Finally he took my hand, stepped over the threshold, and said, "Let's go, let's go home."
