The welcoming team beat gongs and drums to marry Princess Yongle into the Shen family, because the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ate croton powder and was unwell, so the emperor and the queen did not come to participate in the ceremony, so the marriage ceremony was not as formal as originally designed.

Of course, although the two did not come, the ministers of the court and the princes and nobles came, and the emperor and queen gave their daughters a lot of dowry gifts, silk and satin, porcelain and pottery, and the pomp was also very large, it seemed that everyone in the world knew that their daughter was married.

Because Shen Wansan didn't see the emperor's face, he kept holding the prince and asking why the emperor didn't come? When he heard that the emperor was unwell, Shen Wansan immediately expressed that he wanted to dedicate a few precious thousand-year-old ginseng pills from his family to His Majesty the Emperor to raise his body.

Looking at his father like this, Shen Cong shook his head helplessly, and at the same time strengthened the thoughts in his heart.

"One worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other." In Xi Po's festive words, Princess Yongle was sent to the cave room, while Shen Cong was dragged by the ministers to eat and drink.

"Brother-in-law, my sister will entrust it to you, you are really blessed! Yongle has a good temper, I hope you treat her well. After three rounds of drinking, the prince Zhu Biao took Shen Cong's hand and told him thousands of instructions.

Shen Cong nodded and smiled: "Thank you for the teachings of the eldest brother, the younger brother will definitely take good care of his wife." ”

For the crown prince Zhu Biao, Shen Cong's heart still has a good impression, and the history books record that Zhu Biao is a hot-blooded man who has been studying hard and is quite enlightened. He was aggressive all his life, but the ending was bleak.

Zhu Biao is the eldest son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and when he was born, Zhu Yuanzhang was fighting the world. At the age of thirteen, he was made crown prince and began his twenty-five-year career as prince. Compared with the other twenty-five princes, he knows his father best, and has watched his father go through ups and downs along the way. He was supposed to be the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately he waited for more than 30 years, and finally passed away with helplessness and grievances, although when he was alive, among the more than 20 sons, he was not the best candidate for Zhu Yuanzhang.

So this prince has waited for more than 30 years and still hasn't become the emperor, so does he have the idea of forcing his father to abdicate immediately? Or is Zhu Yuanzhang sincere to this son?

Thinking of this, Shen Cong couldn't help but be afraid of his bold guess, but Shen Cong's guess was not made out of nothing, but had a historical basis.

Shen Cong vaguely remembered that according to the 115th volume of the "History of the Ming Dynasty" compiled by Zhang Tingyu in the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Biao, who was in the prime of life, died of illness in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and was not immediately on the throne, and was the prince of Yiwen. As for what kind of illness it is, it is not specified, only a few strokes, saying that it is a cold wind, which drowns this gentle, elegant, generous and kind crown prince in the dust of history.

However, according to the "Book of Ming" written by Fu Weilin in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Zhu Biao's early death was caused by a quarrel with Zhu Yuanzhang, excessive mental pressure, and depression, which is similar to the cause of Zhu Biao's death written in "Famous Mountains and Treasures" written by He Qiaoyuan in the Ming Dynasty, however, both explanations seem to be unconvincing. Even if "Famous Mountain Collection" is before "History of the Ming Dynasty", He Qiaoyuan is also upright, but he is a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Wanli (1586), and the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry during the Chongzhen period, and the image of the Son of Heaven will be considered in the record.

However, all the records of the father-son relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao in all historical books are very consistent, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who is suspicious by nature, has always been lukewarm to Zhu Biao, who does not like to please him. As the docile Zhu Biao grew older, his fear of his father also increased dramatically, leading to tension between father and son. Historical records: In the seventh year of Hongwu, Sun Guifei died, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to serve the Qi Decline Scepter Period, but Zhu Biao refused because of his inconsistency and law, and Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to beat him.

Zhu Biao, as the crown prince, although not favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also helped Zhu Yuanzhang manage the government. It's just that the pro-people policy he believes in is often repulsive to Zhu Yuanzhang, who relies on Rong Ma to fight the world, so Zhu Yuanzhang prefers Zhu Rong, the second son who is brave and good at fighting. From another point of view, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang likes Zhu Zhang, who has a strong desire for power, and once wanted to make him the crown prince, may have a lot to do with Zhu Yuanzhang's own background, Zhu Yuanzhang was born a commoner and likes to fight, in his heart, a man can only prove his survival value through war.

So it seems that the contradiction between Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son does not seem to have come out of nowhere, if there is really such a contradiction, then does Zhu Biao's death have anything to do with Zhu Yuanzhang? Shen never dared to speculate anymore, this result was too scary.

His eldest brother doesn't seem to be doing well, although he is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but he has to always guard against his moody father and brother with the heart of jackals, tigers and leopards, he is in fright every day, and he stays in such an environment for a long time, and he is inevitably depressed and trance.

Sighing slightly, Shen Cong shook off the cranky thoughts in his heart, after all, he was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river at this moment, and it was difficult to protect himself, so how could he take care of the lives and deaths of others.

After the banquet, Liu Bowen and Song Lian came to visit Shen Cong: "Master Ma, is it convenient for you?" The minister has something to ask. ”

"The two adults are polite, for the two of you have always had time here." Shen Cong smiled slightly, and most likely guessed what they wanted to say.

After saying goodbye to all the guests, Shen Cong took Liu Bowen and Song Lian into the study, and ordered someone to watch the door, Shen Cong looked at the two of them: "What are the two adults looking for?" ”

"Shouldn't Master Ma give an explanation for this morning's events in the next one? There is absolutely no problem with the tea brought by the Xia, and there is no problem with the boiling water brought by the little eunuch in the palace, which must have appeared here in the concubine master, and there is no grievance with you in the Xia, why do you want to harm me. Liu Bowen stabilized his emotions and blamed Shen Cong for a while, and when he remembered that he was blamed by His Majesty this morning, Liu Bowen still had palpitations.

Shen Cong sat at the table and smiled slightly: "Lord Liu, you are wronged by the next, why did you hurt you if you have no grievance?" And His Majesty also searched his body, there is nothing abnormal on his lower body, Lord Liu should not deduct the basin under him, this black pot will definitely not be carried in the lower body. ”

"You don't have to be fast-tongued, that cup of tea is directly related to you, me, and the little eunuch, who else can do it?" Listening to Shen Congyun's indifferent words, Liu Bowen couldn't hold his breath: "You have been scheming and dare to quibble? Are you ...... because Liu gave advice to His Majesty to deal with the Shen family?"

Song Lian was startled when he heard Liu Bowen's words, and hurriedly pulled Liu Bowen's sleeve and gave him a look, and Liu Bowen's thoughts came back to his senses.

"I just borrowed the adult's tea leaves to offer tea to His Majesty this morning, but I didn't expect to bring so much trouble to the adult, Shen is very sorry." Shen Cong got up and bowed to Liu Bowen, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth: "But I want to advise the adults to say a word, this medicine can be taken indiscriminately, but the words must not be said indiscriminately, impulsiveness is the devil, Lord Liu, you must have been scared stupid this morning, so you said such a thing, and forgive your ignorance." ”
