In the second year of Jianwen, the twenty-eighth month of La.

In an inn, a tea merchant from Yunnan broke a pie with a note in it, and the tea merchant opened it and muttered: "Bafutang Lake is a small building? It's this place again. ”

Ma Sanbao asked, "Does the county lord know about this?" ”

The tea merchant threw the note into the brazier, "Surrounded by water, there is only one boat a day to deliver food and vegetables, which is like a prison." I was confined there for a year, and I knew everything about the grass and trees. That place also imprisoned Zhang Shicheng's daughter, the county lord, the princess, and now another prince. ”

The tea merchant recalled the past, and drew a topographical map of the small building in the middle of the lake on a piece of paper, "The wharf is too conspicuous, and it is guarded day and night. We can't go here. To the east there is a shoal, which in summer is full of reeds taller than a man, where wild ducks roost. It's all silt, and it can't be docked, but it's winter, the shallows are dry, the silt is frozen, and there are withered reeds to cover us, and we can meet the king of Zhou here. ”

Ma Sanbao said: "Okay, I will pass the news to King Zhou and ask him to wait here in the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve." To rescue the king of Zhou, but also bother the county lord to take it to Yunnan to avoid the limelight, and after the world is peaceful, the king of Yan will have a heavy reward. ”

The tea merchant smiled, "Gonggong Ma doesn't have to be polite, my life was saved by Princess Yan, otherwise I would have been martyred for King Qin a long time ago." ”

After Ma Gonggong left, the tea merchant pushed open the window, and the sunset was thrown on his face, and he was actually a delicate-looking woman! She was facing the sky, the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, her chin was slightly relaxed, her eyebrows were open, her eyes were light, and she looked at the direction of Bafutang from afar.

This person is the former Princess of Qin, Wang Yinnu!

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and the capital is full of traffic and is particularly lively. Sheng Yong defeated King Yan, the imperial court was also full of joy, Emperor Jianwen was in a good mood, and Uncle Lu Guo took the opportunity to say: "Emperor, Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, and the family should be reunited, Weichen heard that Empress Dowager Lu has been in good health recently, can she go out of Cining Palace to participate in the royal family banquet?" ”

Emperor Jianwen mistakenly thought that the spies of the Lu family had killed Chang Sheng, so he announced that the Empress Dowager Lu had "lost her mind" and was locked up in Cining Palace for treatment for more than a year, and never came out again.

Emperor Jianwen didn't like the Lu family to interfere in the affairs of the royal family and the court, so now the Lu family is all in vain and has no power, and Uncle Lu never dared to put on an uncle's posture.

Emperor Jianwen politely refused: "I asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial doctor said that Empress Dowager Lü's illness still needs to be recuperated, and there are many people at the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, coupled with the roar of firecrackers, lest the empress dowager's old illness attack." ”

Uncle Lu Guo touched his nose, and Emperor Jianwen's younger brother Hengwang Zhu Yunxi said: "Your Majesty, my brother just got a daughter, and I want the Queen Mother to give her name and hug my granddaughter, and my brother hasn't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, and I miss it very much." If the feast is too noisy, let the fireworks go farther away, and you can see it from a distance in the sky anyway. ”

Emperor Jianwen thought for a moment and said, "Okay. ”

On the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the royal family gathered together to celebrate the New Year.

After more than a year of "recuperation", Empress Lu had a calm appearance, a wide heart and a fat body, and when she saw Emperor Jianwen, even Concubine Jin, who was in great trouble, was no longer excited.

Empress Dowager Lu even smiled kindly at Chang Jin's slightly bulging belly, "Is the concubine pregnant?" It's really good, the mourning family looks at the round belly, it must be a dragon. ”

Chang Jin touched his belly, his eyes were gentle, and he smiled without saying a word.

Emperor Jianwen said: "Whether it is the prince and princess, or the children born by Concubine Jin, I like them. ”

Chang Jin smiled even more, snuggling in the arms of Emperor Jianwen, looking like a favored harem.

Queen Ma and the others had already turned a blind eye, drinking and eating tea as usual, and they didn't feel anything unusual. Empress Dowager Lu felt very uncomfortable, if it was before, she would have sarcastic: "I don't know if this child is born, will she call you father or cousin?" ”

But Empress Dowager Lu has something more important than fighting with her eldest son Zhu Yunwen......

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Lu picked up a glass of wine and swallowed the words in her heart.

At this time, the palace people served snacks, and according to the old custom, the Empress Dowager Lu divided the snacks in front of her and gave them to the children and grandchildren.

What was given to Emperor Jianwen was a plate of creamed pine nut rolls, the sound of ceremonial music started, the palace people danced, and everyone enjoyed the song and dance while eating refreshments, a happy scene.

Chang Jin picked up a piece of cream pine nut roll and tasted it, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, today's pine nut roll is really good, not as greasy and greasy as before." ”

Emperor Jianwen said with a smile: "You used to be happy, what you ate and vomited, but now your appetite has improved, of course, everything you eat is sweet." If you like it, take it and eat it. ”

Chang Jin ate two pieces in a row, "They all say that sour and spicy girls, I like sweets now, I don't know if this one in my stomach is a man or a woman." ”

Emperor Jianwen smiled dotingly: "It's all good, it's all good, if good things come in pairs, it's best to get a dragon and phoenix fetus." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chang Jin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and fell into the arms of Emperor Jianwen, holding his stomach in pain and moaning!

"Your Majesty! Child...... My stomach hurts! ”

Everyone was shocked, and Queen Ma was the first to react and shouted: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Emperor Jianwen hugged Chang Jin like crazy, "You bear with it, the imperial doctor will be here soon!" ”

Blood soaked through the dress, and Chang Jin passed out.

Emperor Jianwen's gaze fell on the cream pine nut roll, and then he looked at Empress Dowager Lu resentfully.

Empress Dowager Lu was also stunned, and screamed loudly: "It's not me! It's not a mourner! ”

The imperial physician knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the icing sprinkled on the cream pine nut roll has been mixed with Western Regions Aconitum grass, this thing is highly poisonous, and the poison should be expelled as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Jianwen said angrily: "Then what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and save the concubine! ”

The Imperial Doctor said, "But ...... However, the drug can cause the tire to slip. ”

Emperor Jianwen sat down on the dragon chair, "Lord Bao, save the concubine at all costs!" ”

Chang Jin was already unconscious, her limbs were twitching, her heartbeat was disordered, and two palace doctors were forcibly pouring the antidote into her mouth.

At midnight on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chang Jin miscarried and aborted a five-month-old male fetus that had already taken shape.

Let's say that Chang Jin was poisoned, and the palace was in chaos. Hengwang Zhu Yunxi persuaded the Empress Dowager Lu bitterly: "Mother, why are you suffering?" Hit the mouse but hurt the jade bottle, Jin Guifei, the demon woman, after a few years, she will naturally be old and decrepit, and she will no longer be favored, and the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, so she is not afraid. But you want to go against her and make tricks in the cream pine nut rolls, in case the emperor eats it by mistake, won't it cause a big disaster! ”

Empress Dowager Lu was unusually sober, she didn't explain, she just grabbed her second son's hand tightly and asked, "Do you want to be the emperor?" ”

King Heng was stunned for a moment, "Mother, you are talking nonsense." ”

Empress Dowager Lu said coldly: "Let me ask you again, do you want to be the emperor?" Sitting on the dragon chair, all the people surrender. You don't have to look at anyone's face, you can get what you want. ”

King Heng tried to break free from his mother, but Empress Dowager Lu's hand refused to relax like iron tongs, "Mother, the eldest brother is the eldest son, and the throne should be his, I can't fight with the eldest brother." ”

Empress Dowager Lu roared: "No! Tomorrow on the first day of the first lunar month, the person sitting on the throne is you! Accept the worship of civil and military officials! Because Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen indulged in a carnival with the demon concubine Jin Guifei at night, took an overdose of red pills, and died of blood! Concubine Jin was afraid of crime and committed suicide by taking poison! ”

King Heng was stunned for a moment, "Mother, have you already prepared for a coup d'état?" ”

Empress Dowager Lu said coldly: "The mourning family has been preparing to force the palace to seize the throne all year round, and originally wanted to wait for the emperor to quell the rebellion of King Yan and start acting, but the slut of Concubine Jin suddenly made a fuss, forcing the mourning family to force the palace in advance!" ”

King Heng was incredulous, "But that's the eldest brother—your own son!" Didn't you take your brother's life? ”

Empress Dowager Lu roared hysterically: "The mourning family gave birth to him, gave him life, and gave him supremacy, and the mourning family will take back his life and power!" He is a white-eyed wolf, he was fascinated by Concubine Jin, and just after ascending the throne, he put the mourning family under house arrest in Cining Palace, and also suppressed the Lu family who has supported him for decades! ”

"The mourning family is a character who does not admit defeat, since your eldest brother can't give the mourning family the power they want, then the mourning family will find a way to abolish him and make you the emperor, you are an obedient good boy, the mourning family gave birth to you and raised you, and also sent the throne to you, you will definitely not live up to the expectations of the mourning family, right?"

King Heng retreated again and again, "I...... I...... I'm scared...... I'm going to think about it. ”

Empress Dowager Lu said: "It's too late! Either you promise me to ascend the throne, or I will help your younger brother King Xu ascend the throne! You have to think clearly, what is the fate of an elder brother who can't be an emperor? Since ancient times, the royal family has no father and son, and there is no brotherhood, you will be □□ by your own brother for life, and you can't even keep your children! ”

Under the coercion and temptation bombardment in turn, King Heng suddenly collapsed, "Okay, I listen to my mother, everything listens to my mother!" ”

"Good!" Empress Dowager Lu hugged her second son tightly, "Tomorrow you will be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the mourning family will personally help you ascend the throne!" ”

In the Rouyi Palace, Emperor Jianwen was guarding Chang Jin's side, his eyes were red, and Hu Shanwei came in and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Lu has already begun to act." ”

Emperor Jianwen looked at the sleeping Chang Jin and asked, "Who did the Queen Mother choose?" King Heng or King Xu? ”

Hu Shanwei said: "It's King Heng." ”

Emperor Jianwen didn't seem surprised, his gaze still fell on Chang Jin, and muttered, "Shanwei, did you say I did something wrong?" I shouldn't have used the trick of luring the enemy to deliberately let the Empress Dowager Lu out, lead her to launch a coup d'état, and then wipe out the Lu family's henchmen. ”

Hu Shanwei said: "The plan is a good plan, but no one thought that the Empress Dowager Lu would be so frustrated, and she would just release it, and she would poison it in front of everyone, wanting to kill the emperor...... It's a pity that the child in Concubine Jin's womb gave his life to save his father. ”

Syllable!

Emperor Jianwen actually slapped himself hard!

"I was wrong! It's because I still have a trace of mother-son affection for the Queen Mother, so I underestimated the Queen Mother! I should have expected that the Queen Mother would be ruthless and ruthless, leaving no room for life and work, just to win! No one in the world can do the evil thing of killing his own flesh and blood, it is easy for the Queen Mother! For the sake of power, she will do anything vicious! 166 Reading Network
