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

Today's emperor was born in the time when Tai/ancestor used soldiers, and he was born bathed in blood. He was a bloody man, and he was killed on the battlefield all the year round. Start the killing ring.

In the early years, the emperor was still willing to listen to Empress Renxiao who was there to advise gently.The empress passed away in the fifth year of Yongle, and the emperor's violent temper became more and more unchecked.

At the beginning of last year, beauties from North Korea paid tribute to Yeting. Among them was Quan, whom I had never met. According to Zhu Heidan, he looked about seven or eight points similar to the former empress. be pampered.Entering the palace at the beginning of the year, she was named a virtuous concubine in February, and this time the emperor of Beizheng also brought her with him.

Originally thought that this beautiful empress, who was similar to the empress, would be by the emperor's side and could put out the fire for the emperor. Unexpectedly, on the way back to the court, she suddenly fell ill.When the news reached Nanjing, the crown prince and the ministers of Zhan Shifu were caught off guard. They drew up a plan overnight, and sent personnel to the army to supervise the implementation, and buried the 20-year-old "Gong Xianxian Concubine" in Yi County, Shandong.

"Father said that Grandpa suspects that Concubine Xian was murdered." On the second night after the news of Concubine Xian's death came, Zhu Heidan came to my room to talk, frowning.

I was shocked and said: "The virtuous concubine did not interfere with the government affairs, and the ministers accompanying the army naturally had no reason to kill her. Then the emperor suspected that the concubines in the harem were fighting. But when the empress fell ill, she was in the army, not in the palace. The only people accompanying her were Your Majesty and her personal eunuchs and eunuchs have no other concubines, what are these eunuchs and eunuchs in her own palace killing her for?"

Heidan said: "Besides, if someone from the palace really wants to kill her, they should do it when the army is heading to Beijing. Later, when the emperor is busy fighting and can't take care of her, he should do it later. Why wait to be challenged?" At this time?"

A thought suddenly popped up in my mind, and even I was startled: "Tell me, could it be—" Heitan covered my mouth.

"Let's go together."

Perhaps someone wanted to murder the emperor.Concubine Quanxian was just unfortunate enough to protect the emperor from disaster.

Who will murder the emperor?Of course not the prince.The prince only needs to wait, and the throne will be there.Besides, as the prince is a man, he will not rebel.

Zhao Wang failed to frame the prince last year, and the emperor was furious when he found out about it. He immediately killed his confidant, Gu Sheng, and deprived him of his crown and clothes. His life was only left by the prince's plea.

King Zhao's powerful wings were cut off by the emperor, and he let the son of the state, Siye Zhao Hengdao, and Changshi Dong Zizhuang stare at him. Even if he wanted to kill the king and father, he didn't have the ability for the time being.

Only King of Han is the most suspect.But the king of Han went out with his army and returned with a big victory. It was the time when he was favored and powerful. Is it necessary to take risks at this time?

Thinking hard to no avail, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.In this imperial palace, the courtyard is a little deep, and it looks like there will be green flowers and red flowers, but it is actually full of ambushes with swords.

"Or, someone really wanted to kill Concubine Xian, and it was aimed at the father." Heidan said.

"How's that?"

"The beloved concubine is dead, and the emperor's grandfather must be in a very bad mood. When he comes back to see what his father has done to supervise the country, it is easy to dislike it. At this time, someone will start to slander..."

"Are you going to go to the point of killing someone in order to influence the emperor's mood?"

"If only one concubine is killed, the emperor's mood will be so bad that he can abolish his father's crown prince. Do you think this is a good deal?"

I leaned into his arms and sighed.This palace is really...

"You know, although I didn't tell anyone, I even suspected that Grandma Huang was killed by the second and third emperor uncles." Heidan's voice was very soft, very soft.

I was shocked and hugged him subconsciously: "How could that be?"

He smiled bitterly, "Why not?"

I said: "Between the biological mother and the child..."

"In our family, biological uncles, nephews, biological brothers, and biological fathers and sons are all capable of murder. What's so strange between mother and child?" He tightened his arms around me: "Ruowei, if one day, the father and the king do something Emperor, my father will guard against me, and I will be as afraid of him as my father is afraid of my grandpa."

He is only the grandson of the emperor.Without being canonized as the grandson of the emperor, let alone becoming the crown prince or emperor, he understood the loneliness of the future first.

I didn't know what to say, and suddenly remembered a little trick I played in modern times, so I took his hand, the second joint of my middle finger was opposite to the second joint of his middle finger, and the tips of the other four fingers were on their own. Corresponding relative.

"The thumb is the parents, the index finger is the children, the little finger is the brother, and the ring finger is me."

Release the thumb: "Parents will leave you."

Release your index finger: "The children will leave you."

Release the little finger: "Brother will leave you."

The remaining fingertips of the ring finger can't be separated no matter what.

Heitan lowered his head and kissed my bangs lightly.Thin and strong arms wrapped around me firmly, and he said like a sigh: "Well, don't leave me."

Speaking of Empress Renxiao, I couldn't help asking: "What kind of person is the former empress?"

"The temperament is quite similar to that of the concubine mother. Or, the concubine mother was taught by the emperor's grandmother. The emperor's grandmother was a tiger girl. When Jingnan was in trouble, Li Jinglong's army surrounded Beiping, and 50 troops came to the city. Watching the father and mother go to the city to supervise the battle, even the little-footed women in the city called up and held the city in a daze. You can see that she is vigorous and resolute outside, and even the generals obey her, but she treats others the most kindly in private "Heidan's eyes are full of nostalgia: "When I was young, I didn't like to play with other things, but I loved to play with crickets. My mother and concubine didn't let me play anyway. I have a pot of beloved crickets. I was thrown into the lake by my mother and concubine and fed the fish, and I was so angry that a little eunuch took me to Grandma Huang's place, and after Grandma Huang heard about it, she ordered someone to secretly get a lot of crickets for me behind my concubine's back."

When Empress Renxiao died, she was only 46 years old. Like Concubine Quan Xian, she died suddenly.Heidan was eight years old that year.

"Grandma Huang loved her father the most, and never disliked the inconvenience of her father's activities. She also told Grandpa Huang that the second and third emperors are not suitable to be emperor. Anyone who blocks the way of the second emperor and the others will be alone He will never let it go. Even Xie Jin, the chief minister of the dignified cabinet, was relegated to supervise the military pay because he said a few words for his father when he became the crown prince. Not to mention Grandma Huang, Grandpa Huang is most willing to listen her words."

"But do you have proof?" I asked.

"Originally there was none. Although Grandma Huang's coffin has been parked in the palace unburied, it is impossible for Yu Li to open the museum, and Grandpa Huang would not rashly allow an autopsy without evidence. But this time the concubine Xian died, maybe , the evidence is there."

"Does His Royal Highness know about this matter? Have you ever discussed it with His Highness?"

"The emperor's grandfather ordered Yang Rong to secretly visit the concubine Xian in the army, and the father informed Zhou Xin, the procurator of Zhejiang Province, and sent a few capable people to Lincheng. Regarding the matter of the emperor's grandmother, I asked myself to investigate secretly , the father is too soft-hearted towards the emperor, and may not be willing to support it. I will write a book tomorrow and send it to Zhou Xin."

"Zhejiang Prosecutor Zhou Xin... is that Zhou Xin who judges cases like a god?"

"Have you heard all about it?"

"Yes. The real culprit of the old case can be caught with a fallen leaf on the corpse. The princess once told this story. But, why not transfer people from Shandong to be closer?"

"Father, after all, doesn't want to get too close to local people. Zhou Xin is chosen because he is upright and impartial. He only wants to solve the case and does not get involved in party disputes."

I also sighed when I heard it.It's really aggrieved to be Zhu Di's prince, with hands tied.

The crown prince is working diligently in Nanjing to supervise the country, and the King of Han is working diligently in the army of the Northern Expedition.

When a butterfly in Nanjing flaps its wings, the King of Han can blow a storm in the emperor's ears.

During those days, the prince was in a dilemma, and he was often blamed.If he is close to the ministers and good at accepting advice, and the ministers all praise him, then the prince will be suspected of forming a clique, and the emperor will doubt whether he wants to empty himself and take over early.However, if the prince does not communicate with the ministers, if he is alienated from the ministers, he will lose the most basic quality of being a ruler - to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.

In fact, the emperor may not really hate Zhu Gaochi, but the emperor hates the prince.Even if Zhu Gaoxu was replaced as the prince, the emperor would still hate the prince.The crown prince is the one who can legally take over his country in the future, and it is this that annoys him.

"Next time, if Grandpa Huang wants to march north, I must ask for orders to accompany you." After Heidan finished speaking, he added another sentence: "I hope that the matter of Concubine Xian will be settled properly this time, and Grandpa Huang will come back. No, the concubine can talk about our affairs."

I had a flash of inspiration, and I thought about it: "Maybe we can mention the matter of the two of us first, and in turn, help a group of His Royal Highness's important matters."
