The reason why Zhu Hao called this Concubine Zheng an old demon woman is because the red pill case that killed his father in history is inseparable from this Concubine Zheng, because at the beginning, it was Cui Wensheng, the personal attendant of Concubine Zheng, who gave Zhu Changluo a big laxative thing, which directly made Zhu Changluo almost hang up, and later there was a red pill from Honglu Temple Cheng Li Kezhuo who claimed to be an immortal medicine, Zhu Changluo took one and got significantly better, but when he took the second pill, he suddenly died mysteriously.

There are different opinions about this in history, and there is a version that Empress Guo gave arsenic to the second red pill. Because Zhu Changluo was seriously ill at that time, only Queen Guo was serving by his side. The specific true situation is unknown, and it has become one of the three major unsolved cases in the late Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Hao doesn't know the specific process of this case and its original situation, Zhu Hao is clear that if Zhu Changluo is not sick, if it is not for Concubine Zheng's chamberlain Cui Wensheng to offer a great catharsis, then there will be no red pill case later, in the final analysis, the *** of this matter is caused by the great catharsis offered by Concubine Zheng's inner servant Cui Wensheng.

With the announcement, a woman who looked like she was in her forties walked in after a while, needless to say, this is Concubine Zheng, Zhu Changluo saw Concubine Zheng, walked over and bowed slightly and said, "Why did the concubine come here?" I have important things to do here, if the concubine doesn't have anything important, I'd better leave early, and I will go to the concubine's palace to see the concubine later! ”

This Concubine Zheng has a very high rank in the palace, she is the figure of Zhu Hao's grandmother, and she is the favorite concubine of the former Emperor Wanli, and she has great influence in the court. Therefore, Zhu Changluo, the concubine Zheng, is both respectful and a little resentful.

After all, no emperor wants the power in his hands to be checked and balanced, not to mention that Zhu Changluo is a monarch with ideals and ambitions in his heart, perhaps it is precisely because of his uncontrol that he will die in just one month after succeeding to the throne.

Concubine Zheng squeezed out a smile on her face, but this smile made Zhu Hao look like she had no kindness at all, it was completely squeezed out, Concubine Zheng smiled at Zhu Changluo and said with a gloomy face: "This concubine was originally a woman's family, and she didn't want to interfere in the emperor's business, but I heard that the emperor is going to be abolished today, so this is a family matter, so as your elder, this concubine naturally wants to come over and ask, I think when your father was still alive, when you encounter difficult problems in the court, you will sometimes ask your concubine's opinion, Why didn't Your Majesty notify the concubine of such a big matter after he ascended the throne, does His Majesty think that the concubine is already a useless person? ”

Zhu Changluo was ready to deal with Empress Guo at the moment, so he didn't want to offend another network in the court, that is, Concubine Zheng's network, so he held back his anger and said with a dry smile: "Concubine is laughing, how dare I not pay attention to your opinion?" It's just that the queen has violated the law of the country, and she can't tolerate favoritism! Please don't worry about this matter anymore, and go back to rest early! ”

When Concubine Zheng heard this, she said, "The queen violated the law of the country? What law did the queen break? Please also tell your Majesty clearly! ”

Zhu Changluo was really stuck by this old kraft candy, so he spoke: "The queen set fire to the side hall of Kunning Palace, intending to kill the prince, I have already admitted it just now, the concubine can rest assured, although the queen has committed a heinous crime, I will not kill her in the husband and wife!" Don't be sad about this, let's go back and rest early! ”

Concubine Zheng sneered twice and said: "What a big deal should this concubine do, it turned out to be just burning down a side hall, this concubine wants to ask the emperor, who is the master of Kunning Palace?" ”

Zhu Changluo didn't know what this Concubine Zheng was going to do, so he replied truthfully: "Naturally, she is the queen!" ”

Concubine Zheng nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Since the queen is the master of this Kunning Palace, the master looked at the side hall and burned it, what is the fault?" ”

Zhu Changluo listened to Concubine Zheng's unreasonable words, and was speechless for a while: "This ......" After a while, Zhu Changluo seemed to remember something, and continued to speak: "But she wants to burn the prince, and murdering the prince is a heinous crime!" ”

Zhu Hao listened to Zhu Changluo's words, and sighed secretly in his heart: "My father is still fooled, and he was completely taken into the ditch by this Concubine Zheng, it seems that today's matter is going to end without a problem!" ”

Concubine Zheng chuckled when she heard this, this time Concubine Zheng was sincere, it was a kind of winner's smile, after the smile, Concubine Zheng spoke again: "Your Majesty's words are wrong!" Your Majesty can't listen to the words of the villain, listen to the bias, blame the queen, as the saying goes, the tiger poison does not eat the child, although His Royal Highness the prince is not the queen himself, but he has always been with him as his own, how can he hurt the prince? It must have been when the queen burned down the side hall, and the prince himself ran into the side hall, and the person who lit the fire didn't know about it! After speaking, Concubine Zheng looked at Queen Guo and continued: "Queen, is the matter the situation that Concubine Ben said?" ”

Empress Guo knew that her savior was coming, so she hurriedly echoed and nodded: "What the concubine said is not bad at all, but Your Majesty is bent on punishing the concubines, and the concubines don't want to argue with Your Majesty!" ”

After listening to Empress Guo's response, Concubine Zheng nodded and said to Zhu Changluo: "Look at it, the emperor, you are wrong to blame the queen!" ”

Zhu Changluo was unwilling to give up such a great opportunity, and continued: "The concubine doesn't know anything, the queen doesn't know this, and he almost let people be killed by the prosecutor, such a vicious act, how can I tolerate her!" ”

Concubine Zheng glanced at Zhu Hao, and said with a touch of disdain in the corners of her eyes: "The emperor's words are wrong again, the emperor said that the queen almost killed the five princes, but isn't the five princes sitting there now?" The emperor's words are exaggerated! The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and has the responsibility of leading the six palaces, the five princes are young and ignorant, and the queen is punished, which is also the queen's reasonable use of power in her hands, and she teaches the harem for Her Majesty. ”

Seeing his father constantly being led by Concubine Zheng's nose, Zhu Hao sighed secretly in his heart, there are really masters in this harem, and when I see this Concubine Zheng today, she is even more powerful than ordinary politicians, it is really not simple, this woman is so smart, it is no wonder that his grandfather, Emperor Wanli, who has never met and has been hung up, likes this woman so much. It's a pity that leaving her has caused a lot of trouble for her father today, who can be good with this? can only blame Ming Yingzong for abolishing the funeral system, otherwise this kind of woman without heirs will be martyred according to the Ming ancestral system!

Zhu Changluo was speechless by Concubine Zheng's words, and finally said a little angrily: "I am going to abolish this demon woman today!" The concubine is an elder, and I have always respected you, but please also ask the concubine to respect herself and not interfere with me! ”

As soon as Zhu Changluo's words came out, it was equivalent to tearing his face, and Concubine Zheng was not annoyed when she heard this, but just laughed dryly twice without smiling: "This concubine has no right to interfere with the emperor's decision, but if the emperor insists on going his own way, this concubine thinks that the courtiers will not agree to Your Majesty, at least Guo Xiangye and Fang Shoufu will not agree, and ask the emperor to think twice!" ”

Zhu Hao knew that the two people mentioned by Concubine Zheng, Guo Xiangye was Guo Fang, the father of Empress Guo, who was the first assistant minister of the previous session, and had retired at home, but his protégés and former officials were all over the world, and they had this unimaginable influence on the entire Ming Dynasty. Guo Xiangye is everyone's honorific title for him, because since the Ming Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang skinned Hu Weiyong and stuffed the grass, the Ming Dynasty did not have the position of prime minister, and set up a group training never to establish a prime minister, and the first auxiliary minister who appeared in the later Ming Dynasty actually exercised the power of the prime minister, but it was just another way of saying, so Guo Fang would be honored by the world as Guo Xiangye.

And the other person that Concubine Zheng said, Fang Shoufu, is the first assistant Fang Congzhe of the current dynasty, this Fang Congzhe was originally the first assistant in the late Wanli period, and now that Zhu Changluo has just ascended the throne, he naturally did not replace the first assistant. Fang Congzhe has always befriended Concubine Zheng, and he is obedient to Concubine Zheng, basically the mouthpiece of Concubine Zheng in the court.

Zhu Hao secretly calculated the power situation of the two in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "Daddy is a defeat today!" If Empress Guo is forcibly abolished, I am afraid that it will really cause an earthquake in the government and the opposition, and my father has just ascended the throne, so he must not want to see such a result! Thinking like this, Zhu Hao could only sigh secretly again in his heart.

Sure enough, as Zhu Hao expected, Zhu Changluo took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and snorted coldly and said to Queen Guo: "Since the concubine intercedes for you, I will let you go this time, you can do it yourself!" After speaking, he turned around and left Kunning Palace with Zhu Hao and Gongsun Ce, and then ordered people to continue to close Kunning Palace.

Zhu Changluo left Kunning Palace in a rage, and he didn't even have any accountability for the palace maid Chun Tao who participated in the whole thing and Luo Xiang who bought the imperial dining room.

Looking at Zhu Hao, whose father's chest was rising and falling violently, he was afraid that Zhu Changluo would be angry, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Father, don't be angry, Erchen believes that one day you will be able to change today's situation!" ”

When Zhu Changluo heard Zhu Hao's words, his emotions became even more excited, his lips trembled slightly, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and finally just sighed heavily and said, "Father is fine!" ”

Zhu Hao saw his father say this, knowing that he didn't want to talk about it anymore, Zhu Hao simply stopped talking, and when Zhu Hao returned to his bedroom, he always felt a little uneasy about the appearance of Concubine Zheng in his heart, although it was only the middle of the month, and it was not the end of the month when the Red Pill case occurred, but Zhu Hao always felt that this Concubine Zheng would not be so honest, and there might be something unexpected to him in the near future.
