Chapter 361: The Truth Revealed (I)

It seems that the turmoil is coming again, and the good show is still to come, and the ministers who are about to disperse all stopped their steps, and looked at Fang Yingwu, who was still in the middle of the "thanksgiving" posture, and the Queen Mother actually wanted to cover Fang Yingwu this time?

In history, it is not that there is no virtuous queen mother who came forward to protect Zhongliang, but what kind of goods this Zhou Empress Dowager is, the courtiers all know it, and the word virtuous has nothing to do with it.

And even on the contrary, the words rudeness, rudeness, rudeness, and selfishness could not be more appropriate for the Empress Dowager Zhou. Such a person should have appeared in a small farm household as three aunts and six wives, but because of fate, he sat in the position of the queen mother.

It is said that the Empress Dowager Zhou brought a lot of trouble to the courtiers, as mentioned above, the first collective subjugation of ministers in the Ming Dynasty was caused by the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Therefore, this uneasy queen mother often makes the ruling minister cry and laugh, and looks up to the sky and sighs: "Why was the first emperor blind to look at the queen mother last week?" ”

Of course, Empress Dowager Zhou is not unimportant to Sheji, and even indispensable is quite important. The biggest advantage of the Empress Dowager Zhou is that she loves her eldest grandson, that is, His Royal Highness the Prince, and raises her personally, if there is no big tree of the Empress Dowager Zhou to protect the prince in the inner palace, I am afraid that the prince who has the appearance of a bright monarch will be assassinated by Concubine Wan.

For this reason, the courtiers have a high tolerance for the Zhou family's nonsense, for fear that after the Empress Dowager Zhou is angry, the prince will be unlucky if he has no biggest backer in the palace, and then the country will be unstable.

didn't mention it, but said that everyone had doubts at this moment, if such a queen mother conspired with the Son of Heaven to oppose the minister, it was within the scope of cognition and common. But how could he go against the Son of Heaven for the sake of the minister, and for the sake of justice, he would come forward to protect a certain minister?

There will be a good show. No, there must be a reason, even the Son of Heaven, who had already stood up, sat back on the throne.

Liu Mian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, suddenly rushed forward. The fierce opponent reprimanded: "Say! How did you bewitch the Queen Mother? Otherwise, don't blame the court for treating you for a crime of deception! ”

Fang Yingwu still didn't speak, just bowed his head and said nothing, Liu Mian saw this, and said solemnly: "The old man has the courage to try you here on behalf of Lin Shangshu today!" You have to kill your relatives in righteousness!

You said that Wang Zhi took the initiative to go into the prison several times to talk to you secretly, and you didn't want to see it and had nothing to do, which is really incomprehensible! That Wang Zhi is not a nymphomaniac, how can he entangle you for no reason? What benefits did you promise him? ”

Hearing the word nymphomania, everyone didn't feel anything, only the Son of Heaven unconsciously pouted. swept the ministers a few times with mocking eyes

If Lin Shangshu is the first trial, and Ni Yushi is the second trial, then Liu Mian is the third trial this time. In contrast, Lin Shangshu of the first instance was deliberately protective, so he asked a sloppy question; And Ni Yushi's trial is relatively deep, and even caters to the Son of Heaven to punish the heart; As for Liu Mian this time, it seems to be more in-depth.

Fang Yingwu sighed and replied, "Because I had a dream when I was in the West Factory." ”

Hearing this, from the Son of Heaven to the minister, he was slightly surprised. Because this answer is really strange. It didn't surprise anyone at all, it was a common sentence that shouldn't have belonged to this scene.

Liu Mian was also stunned, and continued to ask: "What is the dream?" Fang Yingwu stopped talking, and after a while, he said very entangledly: "I dreamed of an old man." Liu Mian immediately scolded: "Don't sell Guanzi." Say it all yourself! ”

Fang Yingwu continued to reply: "This old man's face is not very clear, but he claims to be the old Qingyun Marquis, and he came here in a dream. ”

This is true. The hall was once again amazed. Everyone knows that the so-called old Qingyunhou in Fang Yingwu's mouth. probably refers to the father of today's biological mother, Empress Dowager Zhou, that is, Zhou Neng, the maternal grandfather of the Son of Heaven.

The Zhou family was originally an ordinary farmer in the suburbs of Beijing. Emperor Yingzong broke into Zhou's house when he went out hunting and met the young Empress Dowager Zhou. At that time, Empress Dowager Zhou's performance in the face of Emperor Yingzong was a bit spicy, which aroused the interest of Emperor Yingzong.

After that, Emperor Yingzong brought the Empress Dowager Zhou into the palace, and then gave birth to the current Chenghua Son of Heaven. This story can be called an ancient version of Feihuang Tengda's savage girlfriend, or "a barbaric girl who mistakenly became the president of the Ming Dynasty".

It's just that before the Chenghua Son ascended the throne, Zhou Neng, the father of the Empress Dowager Zhou, died, and this Qingyun Marquis was posthumously sealed in the early years of the Chenghua Dynasty, so he was called the old Qingyun Marquis.

But the question is, what does Zhou Neng, who has been dead for more than 20 years, have to do with Fang Yingwu's situation?

Ni Yushi, who had not shown up for a long time, suddenly stepped forward and said to the Son of Heaven: "Fang Yingwu dares to talk about ghosts and gods in front of the king, it is really a fallacy to confuse the public, and he should be asked!" ”

If there is no suitable reason, it is very inappropriate to talk nonsense about dreams in front of the Son of Heaven. Things like ghosts and horoscopes are very sensitive matters for the royal family, and the slightest mistake in talking nonsense is a big sin.

Of course, Fang Yingwu refused to admit it, and hurriedly shouted and complained: "Bixia Mingcha! The minister didn't want to say it, and Fang Cai didn't say a word, but he was really forced to say it! How can it be deliberately to mislead the public? ”

Liu Mian saw that the Son of Heaven did not give new instructions, so he said to the two of them: "Lord Ni retreats first, and you continue to speak." ”

Fang Yingwu sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Old Qingyunhou came to ask for a dream, saying that he wanted to call Zai Xia to help find his youngest son. ”

The Son of Heaven, who was expressionless on the throne, was suddenly slightly moved at this time, and couldn't help but let out a surprised "Huh". His mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, is the eldest in line, with a total of three younger brothers, and the "youngest son" mentioned by Fang Yingwu naturally refers to the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou, whose nickname is Zhou Jixiang.

It is said that after Zhou Jixiang was born, his mother died, so this young brother was dragged by the eldest sister Empress Dowager Zhou to survive, and he was not separated until Empress Dowager Zhou entered the palace.

Later, the Empress Dowager Zhou gave birth to today's son, and after ascending the throne, the Zhou family suddenly became noble and prosperous. Empress Dowager Zhou's father, Zhou Neng, was posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of Qingyun, and the eldest brother and second brother also each had knighthoods and official positions.

But only the youngest brother Zhou Jixiang left home and disappeared in his early years, and he has still not been heard from until now. When it comes to feelings and affection, the Empress Dowager Zhou is naturally the closest to Zhou Jixiang, who was brought up by herself, and has missed this missing young brother for many years, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is now older, and she misses the deeds of her youth even more.

The Son of Heaven is a filial son, and he is also very considerate of his mother's thoughts, and has issued many holy decrees over the years, ordering Jingshi and nearby states and counties to search for Zhou Jixiang's whereabouts, but no one has been found for many years.

I didn't think about it, but I heard this from Fang Yingwu's mouth today, is there a clue? Is it a trick or a nonsense, or is it really something wrong? (To be continued......)
