This is a dilemma, if you agree with your son-in-law Zhu Yunxi as the son, you will comply with the etiquette law, but the prince Zhu Biao's heart is biased towards the eldest son Zhu Yunxi. If he said that he wanted to establish a successor, then Zhu Yunwen would have no chance in the future.

But in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, especially his brother-in-law Zheng Guogong Chang Mao looked at him, and his brother-in-law's brother-in-law, the young general Lan Yu, was also eyeing him from the side, Zhu Biao didn't dare to say that he wanted to make Zhu Yunwen the prince.

Zhu Biao said: "Erchen feels that the children are still young and uncertain, and it is too early to talk about the establishment of a son at this time. ”

Under strong pressure, Zhu Biao chose to escape, and first helped Zhu Yunwen delay, and there may be a turnaround in the future.

Emperor Hongwu's face was expressionless, and he pointed to Zheng Guogong Chang Mao, who had been silent, and said, "Chang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Chang Mao has been on the battlefield for a long time, and under the pressure, he said: "Back to the emperor, since ancient times, whether it is the royal family or the people, choose to succeed."

The inheritors are all the same...... If the age is the same, the virtuous will be established. ”

My sister was the crown princess in the East Palace, but she was neglected for many years, lost her eldest son Zhu Xiongying, and finally died of depression. Zheng Guogong Changmao of course understood that the prince favored Concubine Lu and favored the eldest son Zhu Yunwen. But for thousands of years, the general public has recognized that there are rules for succession.

Anyone who violates this rule, reverses his concubines, and disregards morality in vain, the court will definitely experience turmoil and even annihilation. The crown prince was bewitched by Concubine Lu and went astray, but Emperor Hongwu was a Ming monarch, and he would not make such a mistake.

What's more, there is also the friendship of his father Chang Yuchun's former monarchs and ministers, Chang Mao feels that the Lu family, Ma Quan, and their vassals are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam, and there is nothing to fear.

Chang Mao was confident that Emperor Hongwu would definitely stand on the side of his nephew Zhu Yunxi, and Yang Shiqi, the "two sluts" who was sprayed with dog blood by the ministers, stood up and said without fear of death:

"The Yuan people invaded the Central Plains, and the rites collapsed. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor has advocated ancient rites, repaired the Ming Dynasty, and emphasized sacrificial rituals. Since the emperor can establish a state in ancient times and divide the kings, why can't he follow the Zen concession system in the era of the five emperors in ancient times and choose the best and the most capable to govern? The minister felt that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's eldest grandson, was a genius in the sky, a rare virtuous person for thousands of years, and there was no need to stick to the common words. ”

The inheritance of imperial power in ancient times was originally a Zen concession system obtained by sages, and the five emperors of ancient times, Yao Shunyu, were all like this, and it was not a hereditary system based on blood. Emperor Hongwu established the Ming Dynasty, in order to express the orthodox status, emulating the ancient Yao Shunyu and other sages, and implementing the etiquette of "three invitations and three concessions", before ascending the throne, the ministers asked him to be the emperor, and he shirked it three times. The ministers asked three times before he ascended the throne as emperor "to avoid difficulties", in fact, it was impossible for him to leave the imperial power aside, and the so-called imitation of ancient rites was just a political performance similar to sacrifice.

Bang! The early dynasty was in an uproar again, and this remark not only confused the concubines, but also admired the ancient state of Fagu, which they had always opposed, which was simply a great rebellion and a shame for the scholars.

The ministers took turns to fight, scolded Yang Shiqi, and wanted to skin him alive. Chang Mao and Lan Yu didn't bother to look back at Yang Shiqi, let alone argue with this person, it was simply insulting their noble status.

Yang Shiqi spit on his face and did not move.

After this court meeting, Yang Shiqi was immediately relegated to a remote county in the northwest as a small county official, but the dispute between the princes of the East Palace that he stirred up and stirred up began here, and there was no peace.

In the East Palace, when Concubine Lu heard about the chaos in the court, she was immediately furious and took the case, "How can there be such a brazen person in this world?" Rushing to slap you up, almost ruined our big thing! Tell your grandfather that he found an excuse to take Yang Shiqi's official position, so that he couldn't hold his head up for the rest of his life! ”

Zhu Yunwen said: "My grandfather and father-in-law said that Yang Shiqi was a talent, and he was sent to the capital to be a small county official from afar, to avoid the limelight, and to slowly adjust/teach and sharpen, and he would be an obedient and good dog in the future." ”

Concubine Lu asked, "Did the emperor ask you the same question after the emperor?" ”

Zhu Yunwen said lightly: "I asked, I said that my brother is my sister-in-law, I have no intention of fighting with him for anything, my brother and I have had a very good relationship since childhood, no matter how slanderous and provoked outside, it will not affect the friendship between our brothers." ”

Concubine Lu was a little disappointed, "In this way, will the emperor think that you are not enterprising?" ”

Zhu Yunwen glanced at his mother and said, "At this time, if you don't fight, you fight." What's more, who can compare with me? I am the best grandson, I don't have to deliberately show anything in front of the emperor, the person who the emperor admires the most is always me. ”

Concubine Lu always felt that her heart was hanging, "Has Zhu Yunxi alienated you?" ”

Zhu Yunwen poured a cup of tea for his mother, "Since he was born, I have cared about him and loved him, and my mother still thinks I am troublesome, now I understand why I did this, right?" Zhu Yunxi is always under my control. Mother, as the old saying goes, as long as you grasp your father's heart, you must not let your father be forced to open his mouth and make Zhu Yunxi the son of the world. You don't have to worry about the rest, I'm up to me. ”

For some reason, Concubine Lu didn't dare to drink the tea poured by her son, she took the teacup, put it down after dipping her lips in a pretend, "Your father's heart is always on my side, and he will not make Zhu Yunxi the son of the world." Otherwise, he would have relented and remarried the crown princess, and Ma would be your new mother-in-law. ”

mentioned his newlywed wife Ma, Zhu Yunwen was not moved, just like saying someone else's wife's room, "I just hope that Ma's belly will compete and win a man in one fell swoop, and the emperor's grandfather and queen will be even happier." I know that the regret of the emperor's grandfather in this life is that the son born to the queen died young, and if there is a great-grandson of the Ma family's blood, we will have an important bargaining chip. The days are long, and the water drops are worn by stones, and slowly the imperial grandfather no longer insists on his concubine. ”

Zhu Yunwen calmly analyzed the current situation, "Mother, let's not expect the imperial grandfather to make me the son of the world now, we just need to drag the imperial grandfather not to make Zhu Yunxi the son." In the future, when my father succeeds to the throne, everything will be ours. You have to be patient, you know? ”

For his wife Ma, for the imperial grandfather who loves him, and even for his biological parents, Zhu Yunwen is just used as a tool to win the imperial power, and the eldest son is ruthless, like Concubine Lu. But Concubine Lu is afraid of such an eldest son, she can control her husband, but she is helpless against the eldest son.

She hopes that the eldest son can be emotionally dependent on her like her husband, so that she can control it easily, but the eldest son's emotions are in another woman......

Her only anxiety about her eldest son is Chang Hibiscus, even if this woman has left the southwest, it is still a thorn in her heart.

Concubine Lu observed her son's expression and asked tentatively, "Yun Wei, that Chang Jin...... If you knew about the dispute between the princes of the dynasty and the middle of the dynasty, would you return to the capital from the southwest to help Zhu Yunxi? How will you deal with it then? ”

Zhu Yunwen looked at Concubine Lu coldly, "Actually, my mother wants to ask, Chang Jin regards Zhu Yunxi as a parent, if she returns to the capital and stands on Zhu Yunxi's side, will her son be soft-hearted and give up the position of the son?" ”

Concubine Lu was said to be in her mind, and she muttered awkwardly for a moment, and said: "Mother wants to remind you that you have long gone to a point of no return, either to the top or to fall into the abyss." Zhu Yunxi relies on you now and trusts you, but he will eventually grow up, awaken, and sooner or later he will turn against you. When the time comes, Hibiscus won't be able to protect you. ”

At the mention of Chang Jin's name, Zhu Yunwen's pupils shrank, and when he opened his eyes again, he was as calm as an ancient well, "I don't need a woman to protect me." Zhu Yunxi is my pet, the pet is disobedient, it eats the owner, just throw it away. ”

Concubine Lu didn't believe it, she grabbed her son's hand, "Don't underestimate the power of emotion, it will make people lose their minds, otherwise how could your father obey me?" It's useless for you to swear now, as long as Chang Jin returns to the capital, everything will change. Get rid of this weakness, and you won't have any weaknesses in the future. If you can't bear it, your mother will do it for you. ”

Zhu Yunwen shook off his mother's hand, "Except for killing, doesn't my mother have any other way?" Killing Chang Jin, Zhu Yunxi is like losing his mother, and he will doubt me. ”

Concubine Lu said: "Then even Zhu Yunxi will be eliminated together." ”

Zhu Yunwen pointed in the direction of the imperial study and said: "Today is different from the past, is it a decoration for my mother to be a brocade guard?" Mao Xiang is a powerful person, and if his mother wants to destroy the Great Wall, she should kill her. ”

Zhu Yunwen brushed his sleeves and left. Concubine Lu shouted behind her, "I'm really going to kill Chang Jin!" ”

Zhu Yunwen stopped and said sideways: "Whatever." ”

Concubine Lu shouted, "I'm not just talking about it. ”

Zhu Yunwen left without a word, no longer paying attention to his mother.

Back in the study, Zhu Yunwen said to his henchman eunuch: "Keep an eye on the manpower on my mother's side, if anyone goes to the southwest, they will be killed." ”

At the royal family banquet on August 15, Xu Miaoyi raised a baby in Yanwang's Mansion and did not enter the palace, and Zhu Di took three children to greet his father and queen mother. Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was still thinking about the imperial mausoleum of Jiming Mountain, and was absent from the family banquet, but the princess of Qin, Wang Yinnu, was taken to the palace with great fanfare, and sat at the bottom of Queen Ma, wearing a luxurious pearl on her forehead to cover her centipede-like scar.

There is no crown princess, and the second princess, Wang Yinnu, has to act as the eldest daughter-in-law.

The emperor wants to Huairou Beiyuan to surrender the army, Queen Ma's husband sings with the woman, and the attitude towards Wang Yinnu is warmer, this pearl Yingluo forehead is given by Queen Ma, all of them are the best East pearls paid tribute by the Goryeo Kingdom, flashing with warm and pale golden light, Wang Yinnu's facial features are excellent, the demeanor is gentle and gentle, with precious jewelry, and suddenly the crowd is overwhelmed, and when people reach middle age, they still compare all the princesses who are younger than her.

But no one is jealous of her, and the more perfect she is, the more tragic her life becomes......

"Lord, it's our turn to toast to our father and queen mother." Princess Feng of Zhou whispered to Zhu Hu.

"Okay." Zhu Hu stood up and helped Feng up casually. The young couple walked side by side to the dragon chair and the phoenix seat to toast, and Wang Yinnu sat next to Queen Ma.

After eight years, this time it was the closest distance, and Zhu Hu seemed to be flashed by the light of Dongzhu on her forehead, and her eyes were moistened.

Not far away, on the table of Concubine Lu in the East Palace, Zhu Yunwen carefully picked out the fish bones on the anchovy and handed it to his mother, "Your favorite anchovy." ”

Concubine Lu had no appetite at all, and said in a low voice: "Did you kill the people I sent to the southwest?" ”

Zhu Yunwen laughed in a low voice: "If my mother wants to go crazy, I will go crazy with you." 166 Reading Network
