279 The heavens and the earth are cracked
Xu Miaoyi's eyes were bloodshot, and her blood was ignited with anger, boiling, burning, exploding, and almost overturning the dormitory!
Xu Miaoyi was forcibly held down by Feng and her two sisters like an angry female beast, maintaining a kneeling posture, and the acting princess Xu Miaoqing persuaded in a low voice: "Big sister, don't be impulsive, the entire royal family and civil and military ministers are in the eyes, if you make a slight mistake, you will be grabbed by someone, and you will not be able to turn over for the rest of your life." ”
Princess An also persuaded: "Big sister, don't worry, bear with it first, even if we go to the domain in the future, the eldest brother and the second brother are in the capital, they will take care of these three children." ”
Feng said: "Fourth sister-in-law, Chi'er, Xu'er and Yong'an County Lord are all adults, they can also take care of themselves, the road of life is long, the children have to be released to experience, the time has come to test them, you have to let go no matter how reluctant you are." ”
In fact, Xu Miaoyi understands the truth, but she can't accept the reality, what will happen to the hostage? What is the end of being suspicious of the emperor? The eight thorns and cousin Zhu Shouqian bought by Beiyuan Proton back then are living examples!
As a mother, I will never let my children repeat the tragic fate of Hachi and her cousin!
Whoever threatens my child, I'm going to kill God! Kill the Buddha when you meet the Buddha! Even if - even if that person is the emperor, I will kill it!
My cousin Zhu Shouqian just died in front of me, and I can't do anything about it, but my child, our child! Zhu Di! How can you bear to sacrifice our children to fulfill your so-called loyalty and filial piety!
Xu Miaoyi was pressed by her brother-in-law and sisters-in-law and couldn't move, so she had to stare at her husband who was kneeling in front of the dragon bed, she had been in love for more than 20 years, no matter how many ups and downs she experienced, she had never been separated from her husband, she firmly believed that love could merge all barriers, but at this moment, her heart was like a knife.
She had never been so disappointed in Zhu Di.
Everything she had insisted on before, love, and affection, seemed to have become a joke.
Xu Miaoyi didn't know that Zhu Di was deceived by his father Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu dug a pit with his own hands, used the relationship between father and son as bait, and lured Zhu Di to the bottom of the pit step by step, and then stunned his son with a stick, picked up a shovel with his own hands, and buried his son alive at the bottom of the pit.
Emperor Hongwu wants to completely cut off all possibilities for Zhu Di, as an emperor, father-son love is also a means that can be used, Emperor Hongwu doesn't need Zhu Di to love him - he just needs Zhu Di to be obedient, and the Yan Wangfu has been guarding the country for his grandson Zhu Yunwen for generations.
How to make the strong and almost invulnerable Yan King Zhu Di obedient?
It seems difficult, but it's actually very simple, because everyone has weaknesses, knowing a son is better than a father, Emperor Hongwu thinks that Zhu Di's weakness is: he is too affectionate, whether it is love or family affection, he is desperate and willing to give everything, this is true for Xu Miaoyi, and the same is true for six children.
Since this is the case, let's hold Zhu Di's lifeline!
"Father!" Zhu Di grabbed Emperor Hongwu's hand tightly, "The three children of Erchen are stubborn and dull, lest they—"
Emperor Hongwu didn't give Zhu Di a chance to redeem at all, "Good siege!" Give me a pen! ”
It's about to talk about the edict. Emperor Hongwu used his last strength and said: "I have been in the Mandate of Heaven for thirty years, worrying about dangers, working diligently, and benefiting the people. Nai is from a humble beginning, without the knowledge of the ancients, good and evil, not far away. Now that the natural principle of all things is obtained, is there any ridicule and sorrow? ”
Emperor Hongwu pointed to the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen and said: "The imperial grandson of the world is in the heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to the throne." Internal and external civil and military ministers work together to assist the government to reassure our people. Funeral rituals, no gold and jade. Because of the mountains and rivers of Xiaoling, I will be buried with my wife, Queen Ma. ”
In the end, Emperor Hongwu didn't take a breath, he coughed violently on the pillow, and finally calmed his breath, and said: "After I leave, all the concubines in the palace, as well as the palace people who have been fortunate in the "History of Tong", will all be ...... Martyrdom! ”
What the?
Now it's not just Xu Miaoyi and Zhu Di, a hard-working couple, all the dragon sons and grandsons who are kneeling down, as well as the concubines and the ministers of civil and military affairs, are all shocked!
Concubines were martyred? This...... This hasn't happened in thousands of years!
Zhu Di and other princes whose biological mothers have died a long time ago are just that, princes and princesses like King Lu, King An, Princess Hanshan and other princes whose biological mothers are still alive all looked at their stunned mothers in despair. They have lost their father today, and even their biological mother will die together?
The former pillow man wanted to execute himself, the concubines were stunned, and Zhang Meiren, the youngest and high-born Gaoli Gongnu, hugged her three-year-old daughter, Princess Baoqing, and trembled. The little princess didn't know what was going on, and when she saw her mother's gaffe, she was so frightened that she cried.
Hu Shanwei couldn't bear it, and after a pause, he said: "Your Majesty, Princess Baoqing is still young and needs to be taken care of by her biological mother." ”
Princess Baoqing is the youngest daughter of Emperor Hongwu when she was sixty-eight years old, hearing her daughter's cry, and thinking about Zhang Meiren only gave birth to a daughter, not a son, and it will not affect the orthodoxy of imperial power in the future, Emperor Hongwu changed his words and said: "In addition to Zhang Meiren, all the concubines, as well as the palace maids who served me, were all martyred." ”
Seeing that the emperor had pardoned Zhang Meiren, the princes and princesses cried and knelt on their knees, and went in the direction of the dragon couch, and some begged Hu Shanwei, hoping that Hu Shanwei could help intercede for his biological mother.
But Emperor Hongwu swallowed his breath after saying this, and everything was a foregone conclusion.
After a short silence, the palace immediately cried to the sky, and the princess and their respective biological mothers hugged each other tightly, crying that their father died of illness, and also that their biological mother was about to face a cruel burial.
The emperor died, and it was a foregone conclusion that the three children would stay in the capital as hostages. Xu Miaoyi seemed to have lost her sense of hearing, she was indifferent to the sound of crying, her vision seemed to have slowed down, everyone's movements were so slow, moving little by little, she saw that the graceful and luxurious concubines on weekdays were either forced or numb to be taken away from the princess by the eunuchs one by one, and walked to the side hall next door in despair.
She looked at the white silk hanging on the beams of the side hall, and under the white silk were square stools, obviously the doors and windows were closed, but the white silk actually moved without wind.
She saw the concubines and palace maids stepping on the square bench with difficulty as if they were climbing Mount Tai, they no longer had any rank and status to speak of, who was a lowly palace maid and who was a noble concubine, it didn't matter.
They weren't even human beings – they were just funerary objects of about the same value as gold, jade, and so on!
The white silk was put around her neck, and the eunuch closed the door of the side hall, and the moment the door closed, she saw rows of stools falling to the ground and twisted and twitching bodies on them.
She suddenly remembered that when she was seven years old, she woke up on a snowy night, and found that her mother was not around, she secretly walked out of the bedroom with a rag doll, it was very cold outside, and in the world of ice and snow, only the ancestral hall in front was the only light.
In the brightly lit ancestral hall, there seemed to be a lot of people, large and small shadows, my grandfather's whole family was there, but there was no sound, and the world was dead and silent like it is now.
She pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and saw a pair of dangling feet, a stiff corpse, and familiar and unfamiliar faces.
More than 30 years have passed, and the scene of the ancestral hall and the scene of the side hall have crossed time and space and merged with each other, and Xu Miaoyi can't tell where there is the past and where there is the present.
With Zhu Di's sweet love and marriage, she thought that she was no longer lonely and would never return to the nightmare of her childhood, but today, that overwhelming resentment, helplessness, sadness and helplessness enveloped her again.
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, on the eighth day of the fifth month, Emperor Hongwu died at the age of seventy-one.
On May 16, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, finally agreed to ascend the throne after three requests and resignations of hundreds of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, which was for Emperor Jianwen, and on the same day, Zhu Yuanzhang's coffin was buried, and Empress Ma was buried in the filial piety tomb of Jiming Mountain, and the nickname was "Emperor Qinming Qiyun Junde Successfully Unified Heaven and Great Filial Piety", and "Empress Xiaoci Zhaoxian Zhiren Wende Chengtian Shun Shenggao".
In addition, Emperor Jianwen posthumously crowned his father Zhu Biao as the "Emperor Xiaokang", posthumously crowned his mother Chang as the "Empress Xiaokang", and named his biological mother Lu as the Queen Mother, and his wife Ma as the queen, which was the second mother of the Ming Dynasty.
In June, Emperor Jianwen appointed Qi Tai, the minister of Gu Ming and the left attendant of the military department, as the secretary of the military department, Taichang Siqing; His mentor Huang Zicheng was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Fang Xiaoru was a student of the Hanlin Academy, discussing military affairs together.
In the midsummer of July, in full swing, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and other ministers jointly played the cutting of the domain, Emperor Jianwen played the quasi-play, and sharpened the knife Huo Huo to the emperor's uncle. 166 Reading Network
