Miyahou Garden

Empress Zhou had been sitting in the pavilion for at least four hours, from early morning to sunset, and she had not said a word, but sighed and wept.

The palace maids had long noticed that the queen's face was wrong, and they didn't dare to take a mouthful, let alone step forward to touch the mold.

Her own son actually proposed to kill the king and his father, Queen Zhou was angry and anxious, and she was deeply desperate as a woman.

Compared with today's Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan, the gap is worlds apart.

In terms of conduct, Zhu Cihong openly claimed that killing his father and killing the king was inferior to beasts. Zhu Cihuan is famous, and he has won the hearts of the people in Jiangnan as early as possible.

In terms of knowledge, Zhu Cihong is simply a mouse's eye, and repeatedly fought to the south of the Yangtze River for selfishness and Fang Yuan, but stationed troops under the Gao You Guard, resulting in the failure of the large-scale southern expedition and the fall of Fujian. And in order to sit firmly on the throne of the prince of the prison country, Zhu Cihuan was able to share power with Fang Yuan. Jiangnan was supposed to be a political situation where two tigers were fighting, but now the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart, and the teachers and students are harmonious, and there is no opportunity to take advantage of it.

It is already clear who is the candidate for Renjun between Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan.

Zhu Cihong's starting point is much higher than Zhu Cihuan, Zhu Cihong grew up with a golden key, and was trained by Chongzhen as a successor since he was a child, and Zhu Cihuan is just a prince who knows a few words and is still playing with pee.

The reason for the difference between the two of them today can only be found from the teacher.

Zhu Cihong's teacher, first the rotten Confucian of Donggong Zhan Shi Huang Daozhou, taught all the royal ways of Confucianism, and cultivated Zhu Cihong's superficial knowledge and lack of eyes. and then Hong Chengchou, a cadre who is good at scheming, teaches all about scheming and treachery, and has developed Zhu Cihong's unscrupulous and mercenary character for the sake of power.

The two are one, the former father and son are filial piety, and the well-behaved Zhu Cihong is gone, and is replaced by the current beast who exterminates humanity and even Queen Zhou does not know.

And Zhu Cihuan's teacher, from beginning to end, was only Fang Yuan. It was Fang Yuan who led by example by putting the relationship between teachers and students above the power struggle, and taught Zhu Cihuan by personal demonstration. Life is not only about power struggles, we must learn to share power, and we must learn to cherish family affection outside of power.

Fang Yuan even formulated a perfect training plan for Zhu Cihuan, from low to high, step by step, gradually familiar with the operation of power, Zhu Cihuan after several years of training, and finally became a great talent.

If Chongzhen had canonized Fang Yuan when he went to Jiangnan, Zhu Cihong had cut off contacts with the Donglin Party and worshipped Fang Yuan as a teacher, perhaps, today would be a completely different situation.

Empress Zhou's tears couldn't help but slide down her cheeks again, and she said to herself, "Concubine Tian, I still lost to you after all!" ”

She suddenly mentioned Concubine Tian, who had been dead for many years, and the palace maids were stunned, but none of them dared to open their mouths to persuade her.

Empress Zhou Yingying got up and instructed the palace maid, "Prepare a cup of bar!" ”

Although the palace maid didn't know what she was doing when she suddenly prepared the wine, she still went to prepare the wine as instructed.

Empress Zhou held a wooden plate filled with wine and personally went to the Dongnuan Pavilion where Emperor Chongzhen was located. As soon as she entered the Dongnuan Pavilion, she ordered Fang Zhenghua, who was serving, to retreat.

The loyal Fang Zhenghua had long been aware that Empress Zhou was coming with a wine glass in person, as if she had bad intentions, and looked at Empress Zhou in a panic, "Queen Mother, what do you want to do?!" ”

Empress Zhou said coldly, "I have something to say to Your Majesty, what are you called a slave and a maid?" Come! Drag it out! ”

Chongzhen looked at the sudden Queen Zhou in amazement, and then looked at the lonely wine glass she was holding, as if she had an understanding, and smiled miserably.

Fang Zhenghua is also an old bird who has been in the palace for 20 years, and when he saw it, he knew that Queen Zhou was going to kill the king and kill his father, so he bowed to Chongzhen and fell to the ground, crying and shouting, "Your Majesty!" ”

The several eunuchs accompanying Empress Zhou directly dragged Fang Zhenghua, who was crying and shouting, down.

Empress Zhou unhurriedly put the wine glass full of wine on Chongzhen's dragon case, and sat beside Chongzhen like this.

In the years that Chongzhen was under house arrest, he had worried countless times that the queen and the crown prince would suddenly send a wine rush, causing him to die suddenly, but he never thought that this day would finally come.

Chongzhen sighed and said, "Empress, Fang Yuan has raised troops against the imperial court?!" ”

Empress Zhou had to admit Chongzhen's vision, after being under house arrest in the harem for so long, she could still guess the changes that happened outside the harem, and said softly, "Yes, Fang Yuan appointed Zhu Cihuan as the prince of the prison country, and set himself up as the regent, and in the name of the Qing monarch, he set up another court in Jiangnan." ”

Chongzhen smiled and said, "When I was under house arrest, my concubine was able to stand on his own in Jiangnan, but I didn't think that this delay would drag on for three or four years. It seems that the horse is really fully prepared this time, and Zheng Zhilong of Fujian is defeated! Is Jiangxi's Zuo Liangyu still there?! ”

Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Empress Zhou was a few times higher than Zhu Cihong's idiot, and sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty is right again, Fang Yuan not only defeated Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, but also forced Zuo Liangyu in Jiangxi to surrender, and even Guangdong was in the bag." ”

Fang Yuan's achievements in the past few years made Chongzhen more than amazed, and praised, "It is worthy of being my favorite colt, Kunxing she will finally be a good match!" ”

Queen Zhou said leisurely, "Kun Xing, she is now the regent princess, and she also has a daughter named Fang Mu. ”

Chongzhen saw that she knew everything, and it could be seen that she was really moved to kill and let herself die without regrets, so she couldn't help but pick up the wine glass, played with it in her hand for a while, and sighed, "So, I should also die, right!" The queen is now quite Wu Zetian's demeanor! Oh, no, Wu Zetian has never killed his husband, and the queen is even more than Wu Zetian! ”

"By the way, if I die, none of the ministers of the DPRK will have any doubts?!"

Empress Zhou's eyes were full of tears, and she sighed softly, "Your Majesty, this is a joint resolution of the cabinet and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. ”

Chongzhen was stunned and asked, "What about Sun Chuanting?" He also agreed?! ”

Empress Zhou wiped away her tears and said softly, "Inspector Sun doesn't know, Your Majesty didn't see the wrong person, Inspector Sun is indeed the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Chongzhen sighed lightly, had nothing to ask, looked at Queen Zhou's cheeks full of tears, closed her eyes, put the wine glass to her lips, and said lightly, "Queen! As soon as I die like this, there will be no one to protect the queen, so the queen can do it herself! ”

When Empress Zhou heard this, she trembled, instead of cursing herself who sent the poisoned wine, she was worried about her own safety.

Chongzhen's words are by no means alarmist, and Chongzhen's unexplained death may not be pursued by the cabinet. But whether Fang Yuan is seeking justice for Chongzhen or to demonstrate the justice of the Jiangnan regime, he will inevitably immediately hang up the banner of Empress Zhou, the prince of the prison country, the murderer of the king, the murderer of the father, and the murder of the husband.

If Fang Yuan captures the capital, where will Queen Zhou, who has borne the crime of killing the monarch and killing her husband, have a way to live?! Even the entire Zhou family will inevitably be wiped out, Ling Chi. Even Princess Kunxing will no longer be on her side.

If Chongzhen is alive, coupled with Princess Kunxing's maneuvering, he may be able to persuade Fang Yuan to save the Zhou family and his own life.

More than 20 years of husband and wife love resurfaced in his mind, although Emperor Chongzhen also favored Concubine Tian, but his love and respect for himself could not be erased. Even if the two had an awkward quarrel, Chongzhen came first to admit his mistake.

For the sake of that son who is not as good as a beast, it is not worth abandoning his husband and daughter, and even the Zhou family is in danger of no return!

In the end, it was still the love between husband and wife, and the love between mother and daughter prevailed!

Empress Zhou's brain suddenly sobered up, and with a wave of her hand, she swept the wine on Chongzhen's lips to the ground.

Chongzhen was slightly stunned, Queen Zhou had ordered the accompanying eunuchs to find the eunuch Wang Zhixin, the celebrant eunuch, and ordered Wang Zhixin to immediately summon Sun Chuanting, the former military governor, to discuss the affairs of the Qing Palace.
