The world says that it is the most ruthless emperor's family, but in fact, the grievances and grievances in the royal family are complicated, and who can fully explain it?

Take Zhu Youqi as an example. He is the half-brother of Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youjiao, and his mother is Concubine Chen. And Emperor Xiaozong's mother was Concubine Ji. To say that Concubine Chen and Concubine Ji were both ill-fated people when they were young.

Concubine Chen was originally poor because of her family, so her father sold her to the eunuch of Hangzhou, and she entered the palace. Because she is knowledgeable and courteous, she is beautiful. Therefore, he was later favored by Emperor Xianzong, and after being favored, he was pregnant with a dragon son, so he was able to be a concubine by his mother.

In the middle of the Chenghua year, Emperor Xianzong conquered the barbarians, and Concubine Ji entered the court after being captured. After being favored by Xianzong, she was also pregnant with a dragon. It's just that the child in her belly was conceived earlier than Concubine Chen's, so she is the third son of the emperor, and the fourth son of the emperor is Zhu Youqi.

When Concubine Ji was pregnant, it happened that Wan Guifei was the favorite of the harem, Wan Guifei was an extremely narrow-minded and extremely ruthless person, and all pregnant women in the harem were persecuted by her. Concubine Ji was not spared at that time, and was persecuted by Concubine Wan several times.

But fortunately, Concubine Ji got the help of Concubine Chen at that time, and finally gave birth to the third son of the emperor. Emperor Xianzong's eldest son and second son all died early, so the third son of the emperor Zhu Youzhu was the eldest son and the first heir to the throne, and finally he was able to successfully ascend the throne as the emperor, that is, Zhu Youzhu of Ming Xiaozong.

Just think about it. If Concubine Chen hadn't helped Concubine Ji at that time, then Xiaozong would definitely not be able to survive in the world, and then Concubine Chen's fourth son, Zhu Youqi, would be the first heir to the throne. It was because of Concubine Chen's help at that time that Zhu Youqi missed the throne.

Now Zhu Youqi is planning to regain the throne, and from a certain point of view, what he wants to take can also be said to be something that should have belonged to him. Zhu Youqi in order to seize the throne, but now he has buried his son's life, if it is traced back to the origin, can it be said that Concubine Chen buried the life of her grandson with her own hands?

Of course, fate is sometimes predestined, and you can't think like this, if you think like this, it is equivalent to drilling into a dead end that can never be bypassed.

In the Qingning Palace. Zhu Youqi knelt in front of his mother, tears kept flowing down.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the prince cannot leave the fiefdom without the permission of the emperor, and the violator will seek rebellion with intentions. So since Zhu Youqi was named the king of Xingxian, he rarely saw his mother again, so every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, what about being a prince and a prince? Wouldn't it be a misfortune for a mother and child to be separated from each other.

Concubine Shao Chen's eyes were already dizzy, she reached out and touched Zhu Youqi's face, leaned her head closer and looked at it carefully. The trembling hands carefully touched Zhu Youqing's face, as if he wanted to use the touch of his hands to restore Zhu Youqing's appearance in his mind.

After the last concubine, Concubine Shao Chen shouted: "Wu'er"

"Queen Mother!" Zhu Youqi also screamed sadly, leaning on Concubine Shao Chen's arms and crying bitterly.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was sitting in the Qianqing Palace reviewing the recital, and Liu Jin was standing next to him. Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin: "Has Uncle Xingxian Wang arrived in Beijing?" ”

Liu Jin nodded: "If you go back to the emperor, you have just entered Beijing, and after entering the palace, you will go to Qingning Palace to ask Concubine Chen." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded after hearing this, and Liu Jin asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you want the slave to summon King Xingxian now?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhu Houzhao shook his head, he sighed slightly and said: "Uncle Xingxian Wang is reminding me that his mother, Concubine Chen, is kind to my father and grandmother, and if I am too strict with him, it will be ungrateful." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao sneered, as if he was talking to Liu Jin, and as if he was talking to himself: "He doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for Concubine Chen's face, I would have bypassed him so easily this time?" If you want to be an emperor, you must have the order of the emperor. Those who have this number of lives will ascend to the throne of God even if they do nothing. A person who does not have this number of lives can only be a slave for the rest of his life. Liu Jin, are you right? ”

Liu Jin's heart shrank suddenly, and he immediately nodded and replied: "The emperor is wise, and what the emperor said is extremely true." ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Liu Jin lightly, smiled faintly and did not speak again, but continued to review his own recital.

About an hour later, Zhu Houzhao almost finished reviewing the music in front of him. Then Zhang Yong, who was outside the Qianqing Palace, walked in and saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the king of Xingxian asks to see you." ”

"Biography." Zhu Houzhao nodded.

"Xuanxing presents the king to the audience." Zhang Yong shouted.

Zhu Youqi walked in from outside the palace gate, and after seeing Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Youqi immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "The minister knocks to see the emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live." ”

"Uncle Huang is exempt from courtesy." Zhu Houzhao said.

"Your Majesty." Zhu Youqi stood up, and Zhu Houzhao immediately instructed the little eunuch standing at the palace gate: "Give the throne to King Xingxian." ”

"Your Majesty." Zhu Youqi said.

The two little eunuchs moved a chair over, and Zhu Youqi just sat down and Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "Uncle Huang, do you know why I sent you here this time?" ”

When Zhu Youqi heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Zhu Houxi, the unscrupulous son of the minister, misunderstood the villain and accidentally entered the cult. The ministers and sons have no way, so they ask the emperor to surrender. ”

This time, Zhu Houzhao did not call Zhu Youqi again, but said lightly: "The son of the world is young, he doesn't know loyalty and treachery, and it doesn't hurt to make a mistake for a while." However, that Tianji Association was not an ordinary demon sect, but a group of demons with the purpose of committing rebellion. Although the prince was deceived, he violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the legal system of the royal ancestors after all. I have found out that only the prince is involved in this matter, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, and I specially sent the imperial uncle into the palace, just to ask the imperial uncle, what does the imperial uncle think I should do? ”

"Collusion with demons and chaos in the hall is not only against the legal system of the ancestors, but also intolerable by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the minister believed that the punishment must be severe, and the code should be corrected. ”

Zhu Youqi spoke extremely smoothly, without even a rise or fall in his tone, as if this passage was said directly without any emotion at all.

After listening to Zhu Youqing's words, Zhu Houzhao said: "Since the imperial uncle thinks so, then handle it according to the emperor's wishes." Alas, in fact, the son of the world is still young, and it is normal to make occasional mistakes, so why be so harsh. ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, Uncle Huang retreat." Since I have come to Jingshi, I will stay for a few more days, anyway, the date of my birthday is approaching, and we will get together as a family at that time. ”

"Yes, I obey." Zhu Youqi kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao three times before getting up, and then withdrew from the Qianqing Palace after saying "Weichen retreats".

Walking out of the palace gate, Zhu Youqi's eyes turned red. He clenched his whole body, and his whole body trembled slightly.

What a torment it is to be a father and say in person that his son deserves to die. But he didn't say it, because this was Zhu Houzhao looking for him with an attitude.

Just as Zhu Houzhao's last sentence is extremely pretentious, "Why should you be so harsh" and "just follow the emperor's uncle's wishes", these two sentences characterize Zhu Houxi's death as Zhu Youqi's own meaning. In this way, Zhu Houzhao also asked for the murderous name of killing his brother-in-law.

"Xi'er, my father is sorry for you. But my father promised you that you would not die in vain. ”

After speaking, Zhu Youqi took a deep breath, and then walked out of the palace with a calm face.

At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and then said to Liu Jin: "Remember, send more people to Xiaoyao Mountain Villa to protect Jiang Xia, and don't let him suffer any harm." ”

"Yes, slave and maid." Liu Jin responded.

Then Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Yong and asked with a smile: "By the way, I haven't been to Xiaoyao Villa for many days because of the cumbersome affairs these days, what has Jiang Xia been busy with recently?" ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's three sentences without leaving the word "Jiangxia", Liu Jin was both envious and jealous in his heart. What is called Jane in the Emperor's Heart, this is called Jane in the Emperor's Heart.

Zhang Yong knew a lot about Jiang Xia, and he said with a smile: "If you go back to the emperor, Jiang Xia recently opened a pharmacy on Sanlihe Street, and it is said that the business is very hot, and it is making money every day. The dignitaries and nobles who went to buy medicine were all in Beijing, and the daily medicine was in short supply. ”

"Oh? What medicine is so powerful? Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested, and he silently added a sentence in his heart: "Okay, I don't want to be called with me to make money, this big brother is too uninteresting." ”

Zhang Yong smiled and said: "According to rumors, the Jiuyang Feifeng shop in Jiangxia only sells two kinds of medicines, one is the Feifeng Pill that can make women regain their youth and beauty, and the other is the Jiuyang Pill that can make men fierce and fierce. ”

"Dragon Spirit Tiger Fierce?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested, he stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "You don't even want to try such a good medicine?" ”

But soon Zhu Houzhao softened again, sat back on the dragon chair with a dejected face, and muttered to himself: "Forget it, if I take that medicine, it will only torture me." ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao said: "Let's go, go to Xiaoyao Villa to meet him." In a few days it will be the day of the palace test, when he will become my courtier, and I will see if he will dare to be so arrogant to me. After speaking, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing again.

The words are divided into two ends, and then Zhu Youqi is here. After he left the palace, he went straight to the Cloud Pavilion Inn.

After finding Xiao Wu driving the carriage for him in the Cloud Pavilion, Zhu Youqi opened an upper room for himself, and then sat in the room and waited.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Zhu Youqi said lightly: "Come in." ”

The door opened, and it was Fauber who entered. Fu Bo bowed slightly to Zhu Youqi and shouted, "Lord Wang." ”

Zhu Youqi nodded and said, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”

"Inquire clearly, that Jiangxia used to be a servant of a Qinglou, and later that family was sent by Mrs. Li to seal it. Then Jiangxia opened Xiaoyao Villa. It is said that the house itself was given to Zhang Yong by Shi Wei, the former squire of the Ministry of Works, but there are rumors that Xiaoyao Villa may have the emperor's shares in it. The news that the old slave got all showed that the relationship between Jiang Xia and the emperor was extremely not simple. In addition, Jiang Xia recently opened a pharmacy on Sanlihe Street. ”

Fu Bo briefly talked about Jiang Xia's deeds, Zhu Youqi's eyes narrowed when he heard Fu Bo say that the relationship between Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao was not simple, and he said coldly in a low voice: "It's good if it's not simple, if you don't kill him simply, he will have heartache." ”
