Chapter 121: Death is more than innocent

It's late at night, but the heat of midsummer hasn't abated, and it's still hard to sleep.

No one knows how many people have insomnia in the world, but there must be one of them, named Zhu Yaoyuan.

She is the eldest princess of Yongning in the Ming Dynasty, with a noble status, golden branches and jade leaves, in the eyes of outsiders, brocade clothes and jade food, wealth and glory will always accompany her, and happiness has always surrounded her.

However, the truth is that apart from these riches and glories, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess feels that she has almost nothing.

The person who likes it doesn't like her, or even if he likes it a little, it's far from giving up everything for her.

Perhaps, what men think about is always power, just career, just the world.

World?

Hehe...... A woman's world is actually nothing more than a "he".

"Fourth princess, have you slept?" A familiar female voice came from outside the door.

Princess Yongning suddenly sat up from the reclining bamboo deck chair and replied, "No, is it Xiaohe?" ”

"It's the slave maid, the fourth princess, and the Governor of Huangchang has news coming."

Princess Yongning immediately got up, trotted to the door, opened the door for her, glanced behind her, and asked, "What about the people in my palace?" ”

Xiaohe smiled, "They know what the slaves are here for, and they also know who sent them, so of course they all go to 'sleep'." ”

Princess Yongning understood, nodded, and said, "Come in and talk." Xiaohe flashed in.

After the fall of Chen Hong, the inner court has not appointed the master of ceremonies for a while, but everyone knows that there are only two people who can make this palm seal, either Chen Ju or Huang Mengyu.

is the admiral of Dongchang, and now he has the opportunity to become the great eunuch of the palm print, and at this time, no one in Princess Yongning's palace will dare not to give Huang Mengyu face.

Xiaohe entered the room, immediately took out a folded Xue Tao note from his personal body, and carefully handed it to Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning took Xue Tao's note, and suddenly asked without raising her head, "What is written on it?" ”

Xiaohe was stunned for a moment, "The slave is illiterate." ”

The look of vigilance in Princess Yongning's eyes disappeared slightly, she nodded, stopped talking, and opened the letterhead to read.

Tsai carefully looked at it twice, Princess Yongning's eyes suddenly became a little confused, sighed, and sat back on the bamboo and wood recliner weakly, closing her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xiaohe didn't urge, waited quietly, and after a while, he heard Princess Yongning ask, "Liang Bang...... Is the pony itself involved? ”

"Chong Xizhi said, he believes it very much, and Huang Chang said that Dongchang has interrogated him in detail many times and is sure." Xiaohe replied.

"So, what did he say? Hongu is to say...... What do you say? At the mention of the word "see Xinzhai", Princess Yongning, who had her eyes closed, seemed to move her eyelashes.

Xiaohe said calmly, "Seeing Xinzhai said, there is more than innocent death." ”

"He's going to Liaodong, what about the Liang family?"

Xiaohe smiled slightly, "The fourth princess can rest assured, seeing that Xinzhai said that within a month, the Liang family will fall, and all industries will be torn apart." ”

Princess Yongning said, "I'm afraid the emperor won't watch the Liang family starve to death on the streets and lose face to the heavenly family, right?" ”

Xiaohe nodded, and said lightly, "Of course the emperor will give some money, but Governor Huang said it...... If the Liang family can't see it and seeks death by themselves, the emperor won't say anything. ”

"Oh?" Princess Yongning's tone was a little gloomy: "Do you want to die?" ”

Xiaohe smiled and said, "Yes, seek your own death...... Of course, Governor Huang also said that Liang's 'concubine' has been frightened and abnormal in recent days, and his condition has become more serious, and he may walk ahead of the rest of the Liang family. ”

Princess Yongning opened her eyes and frowned, "Is this his own illness like this?" Huang Changdou did not ...... There is no ......"

Xiaohe bowed slightly, "Fourth princess, rest assured, no matter what, he has already taken the title of captain of the horse, and the factory governor will not do anything to him." ”

Princess Yongning breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said, "Don't tell the factory governor about this matter just now...... No, you ask the factory governor not to tell Jian Xinzhai. ”

"Yes, Fourth Princess." Xiaohe looked well-trained and didn't ask more than half a word at all.

Princess Yongning nodded, and said with relief, "You are very good, the supervisor of Huangchang is also very competent, and when things are over, the palace will be rewarded." ”

"Fourth Princess Xie." Xiaohe smiled slightly, "But the slave maid...... Even the Huang factory governor may not be able to accept it. ”

"Why?" Princess Yongning was a little surprised.

"Seeing that Xinzhai has already given a reward, and affirms that Her Royal Highness the princess's money is for other purposes."

Princess Yongning was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed again, and her tone became gloomy again, "Sometimes, Bengong really doesn't know what he usually thinks. ”

"Who can see through the mind of the one who sees Xinzhai?" Xiaohe smiled and said, "However, he is still very concerned about the princess's affairs, the slave and maid heard Huang Chang Governor mention, on the day of the wedding, he saw that Xin Zhai even wanted to mobilize the horsemen outside the city to enter the city, and mixed up the matter of welcoming the family, so that Huang Chang Governor was repeatedly dissuaded, so there was no big trouble." ”

Princess Yongning suddenly sat up straight, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Seriously, Governor Huang is still scared when he mentions this matter."

Princess Huo Ran of Yongning got up, rubbed her hands a few times as if she had nowhere to put them, and asked, "Did he say anything else?" ”

"Uh......" Xiaohe thought about it carefully and hesitated, "It seems that there is something about Princess Deqing and Princess Yongchun, but the factory supervisor did not elaborate, and the slave maid does not know much about it." ”

Princess Yongning's eyes were complicated, with a wry smile on her face, and she was sad from her heart.

Perhaps, he just took pity on me......

It turned out that Princess Deqing and Princess Yongchun were also two poor worms under the marriage of the eunuch contractor.

The outsourcing of the business of this selected horse did not start with Chen Hong, and the eunuchs in the palace had long taken over this business.

Among them, the marriage of Princess Deqing was handled by Li Guang, the internal official supervisor at that time, although Gonggong Li had the same name as the famous general in the Han Dynasty, but it was obviously not comparable at all.

As for him, how to choose a colt, he has no technical requirements, let alone quantitative standards, so the only criterion is money.

At that time, there was a rich man named Yuan Xiang, who spent a lot of money to bribe Father-in-law Li, and he actually became a candidate for a concubine, which was tantamount to selling the princess.

The amazing thing is that the eunuch is not responsible for the princess's marriage, and the emperor is not responsible for the princess's marriage, nor does he inquire carefully.

Fortunately, the emperor is not responsible, the eunuch is not responsible, but the officials of the court dare to be responsible, seeing that the good things of Yuan Xiang and the princess are about to come to pass, some officials have written to expose Li Guang's cattiness, saying that this concubine is spending money to dot up, "The marriage date is a day, and it is for the Taoist officials".

Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu finally woke up this time, and when he heard that the eunuch was so irresponsible to the royal daughter, he was angry, and a holy decree went down and ordered him to re-select the horse.

But what's even more amazing is that according to the understanding of ordinary people, Li Guang has committed the crime of bullying the king, how can it be a matter of losing his head, right? However, Li Guang committed such a big crime, and he was fine, just took a lower status eunuch Xiao Jing to deal with it. Li Guang, the culprit, was unharmed.

You must know that this Princess Deqing herself is also an eldest princess, and she is the sister of Emperor Xiaozong, so it can only be said that although Emperor Xiaozong is a rare hard worker, he is also indifferent to his sister's marriage.

Princess Deqing was still in danger, and finally married a wishful man. And Princess Yongchun, the daughter of Xiaozong, is even more cuppy.

After the death of Xiaozong, Princess Yongchun was still young, and after her brother Zhengdeok's years, and in the sixth year of Sejong's Jiajing, Princess Yongchun reached the age when she should get married.

Sejong was still more responsible at that time, and personally circled a husband named Chen Zhao for his cousin, who was ranked third on the list of candidates at that time.

However, Minister Yu Demin played and revealed that Chen Zhao's family had a history of genetic diseases, and Chen Zhao's wife was not the original partner of the Chen family, but a concubine who remarried to the Chen family, and her status was low.

Immediately afterwards, another minister defended that Yu Demin was talking nonsense. Then the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and there was a lot of trouble.

In this kind of confusing situation, for the sake of his cousin's happiness, Jiajing had to use the elimination method, no matter what he did, it might not work anyway, so he would remove Chen Zhao from the list first, and then order him to be selected.

At this time, two more candidates surfaced, one was Xie Zhao and the other was Gao Gaoyuan.

Xie Zhao's appearance is passable, and Gao Gao Yuan is a handsome guy.

As we all know, Emperor Jiajing played his cards more unconventionally, and he asked Princess Yongchun to quietly look at the appearance of the two, but the result was not to be said, of course Her Royal Highness the princess fell in love with the little handsome guy.

However, the queen mother intervened in the matter again, she may feel that the little handsome guy is unreliable, or Xie Zhao is old, so she set Xie Zhao as a concubine.

The result? On the wedding night, when I took off my hat, I saw that the horse master turned out to be an "extremely smart" person, and he couldn't even do a proper hairstyle.

Princess Yongchun thought about that handsome guy, and of course she was naturally very dissatisfied with the one in front of her.

In the end, this matter also spread to the people, and a nursery rhyme called "Ten Good Funny" was produced, one of which sang "The horse is changed to the present newspaper".

Of course, this is a kind of discrimination, although this Xie Zhao Xie Ma lacks a little grace on his head, but his character is actually good, and he is quite blessed, according to the "Wanli Ye Ed.", he is "a rich man for forty years".

As for whether Princess Yongchun herself is happy or not, uh...... At least she must be dissatisfied in her heart.

"See Xinzhai" Since Princess Deqing and Princess Yongchun are mentioned, you don't have to think about it, you must be comparing her Princess Yongning with the two.

Princess Yongning was sad in her heart, but she didn't know who was to blame for this, Chen Hong was naturally innocent of death, and the Liang family clearly deceived the king, and they deserved to die, but they were all easy to deal with, but ......

Maybe that's fate.

Princess Yongning thought stupidly, if I hadn't met him in the Buddhist temple back then, would I still be like this now?

I am probably the unluckiest princess of the Ming Dynasty......

In fact, she didn't think much differently, but the unlucky princess of the Ming Dynasty in the matter of marriage, in fact, she was not finished, there was at least one more in the original history, that is, Zhu Yijun's seventh daughter, Princess Shouning.

The story of Princess Shouning and her husband Ran Xingrang is recorded in "Wanli Ye Ed.", which is also a tragedy.

It is said that on a moonlit night, Princess Xuanfu Jun Ranxing of Shouning asked her to meet, and forgot to report this procedure to her housekeeper Liang Yingnu for a while. The housekeeper's wife was drinking with the eunuch Zhao Jinchao at the time, and when she heard the news that the princess and her husband had met without permission, she immediately rushed into the princess's room, pulled out the concubine Ran Xingrang, and beat her directly.

The princess's husband was heartfelt, and came out to persuade her, but she was also scolded by the housekeeper's mother-in-law. Princess Shouning was "sad and angry" and prepared to enter the palace the next day to appeal to her mother. As a result, Liang Ying's female villain sued first, and she sued with added fuel and vinegar.

By the time Princess Shouning really appealed the next day, the tone had been set, and there was no chance to turn over, and her mother was already "very angry" and refused to see the princess. I really can't figure out these imperial concubines, they believe the words of outsiders all day long, and they don't even give a chance to explain to their own flesh and blood.

This road can't go through, and the concubine Ran Xingrang also has a hand to prepare, he wrote a letter of appeal, and prepared to enter the court to cry grievances, and went directly to Zhu Yijun.

Where did the naΓ―ve horse master think that the eunuch named Zhao Jinchao, who was drinking with the housekeeper's wife, had already set up an ambush on the road, and as soon as the horse master appeared, dozens of thugs rushed out, pulling Ran Xingrang to the inner court, and it was another wild beating, beating the horse "in tattered clothes, flesh and blood".

Ran Xing ran out of Chang'an Gate in embarrassment, what was the result? His palanquin man has also been broken up by the eunuchs. There was no one to carry the sedan chair, so the horse had to wear his hair and walk back to the mansion barefoot.

The young couple was about to appeal to their father, Zhu Yijun, but they lost the best strategic opportunity, and they were passive step by step - the next day, the emperor's decree came down, and the horse took off the python jade robe, reflected for three months, and did not give any chance to explain - "no replay".

As for Zhao Yingnu, the evil housekeeper, she was only dealt with separately, and the eunuch who beat people was not dealt with at all.

In fact, it is difficult to say whether this holy decree was made by Zhu Yijun himself after knowing about it.

In addition, this Ran Xingrang was really unlucky to the end, and was later killed by Li Zicheng.

However, history is sometimes so inertial, the marriage of Princess Yongning in the original history was handled by Feng Bao, and was strongly supported by Zhang Juzheng, and Empress Dowager Li was confused by the two of them, so it caused the tragedy of Princess Yongning.

This time there was no Feng Bao and no Zhang Juzheng, but Liang Bangrui still appeared, still bribed the palm seal eunuch, and still became a concubine......

The only difference is that the former may make Zhu Yijun even more dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao in his heart, and become the driving force for Zhu Yijun to investigate to the end and "criticize and criticize" after Zhang Juzheng's death, and by the way, he has to dispose of Feng Bao.

Later generations wondered that Feng Bao was so favored by Empress Dowager Li at the beginning, why Empress Dowager Li only asked casually after Zhu Yijun moved him, and did not mention it again, in fact, it is very likely that there is also a reason for Princess Yongning.
