Chapter 487: The Death of Empress Yuan

Tao Yiling fell in love with the first emperor and willingly stayed in the palace.

It was the most peaceful time in the whole of Beijing, and the palace was full of peach trees.

When the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, you can see the sea of pink and white flowers everywhere, stepping into the palace is like entering a paradise, and the breath is a light and elegant sweetness.

At that time, everyone thought that the first emperor and the queen would always love each other.

But who would have thought that later the first emperor would actually favor other women, and even held other women above the Empress Yuan, and even came to such a decisive and tragic point with the Empress Yuan, and forced the bright and strong woman to death in the cold palace.

"Empress Yuan killed herself?" Mo Linglan asked.

"I don't know."

King Anyang said, "At that time, after Empress Yuan was beaten into the cold palace, the first emperor did not allow anyone to visit, and no one was allowed to mention her, and the people in the entire palace seemed to have forgotten that there was a Tao Yiling in the world. ”

"Later, after more than half a year, there was news in the palace that Empress Yuan committed suicide, and I heard that the palace people who found her said that her body was leaning under the peach tree in the cold palace, her wrist was cut and there was blood everywhere on the ground."

"When the palace people who delivered the food found out, her body was already stiff, her eyes were wide and she looked out of the cold palace, and her blood stained the soil under the peach tree, and even the trunk of the tree was written with the words 'I regret, I hate'."

"When the first emperor heard the news and rushed to the cold palace to see this scene, he only asked people to collect the body of the queen of the yuan, sealed it in the coffin and parked it in the palace, and then he fell seriously ill, and had nightmares every night, and then the palace did not mourn for a long time, and the Tao family entered the palace to ask for the body of the queen of the yuan, and for some reason there was a conflict with the first emperor."

"The people of the Tao family accused the first emperor of being ungrateful, but he did not treat the queen of the Yuan Dynasty well, forgot the grace of the queen of the Yuan Dynasty, and said some very harsh words, which made the first emperor angry."

"Soon after the first emperor drove the people of the Tao family out of the palace, it was rumored that the first emperor forced the queen to die, and the Tao family also mixed in to seek justice for the queen of the Yuan, the first emperor was furious and blamed the entire Tao family, and exiled them to the family on charges of great disrespect, not to mention that the queen of the Yuan was not allowed to mourn in the palace, not to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and even the women and courtiers in the court were not allowed to go to worship."

"Later, the first emperor ordered people to cut down the peach blossoms in the palace, and no one was allowed to mention the queen of the yuan."

The people in the palace changed batch after batch, and gradually no one mentioned the events of the year anymore, even if they knew the inside story, only these old guys, and the rest of the people only knew that the first emperor once had a queen Yuan, but after the death of the queen of the yuan, he never established the middle palace.

King Rui also knew a little about the things of the year, and he was still young when Empress Yuan died, and he only remembered that there was originally a very good-looking lady in the palace, but then it suddenly disappeared, but he didn't know that there were so many things in the middle.

Even if the first emperor was his own father, King Rui couldn't help but scold the bastard.

The queen of the Yuan family had a good marriage, and she should have married someone who matched the lintel, and spent her life peacefully, but because she saved the first emperor with a good heart, she was entangled by him, and finally ended up in such a miserable end.

It would naturally be best if the first emperor could treat her wholeheartedly, but even if he couldn't retreat enthusiastically and couldn't live a lifetime, he should remember that he was kind to her for saving his life, but in the end, he was stunned and forced life to death, and let the people of his mother's family be exiled.

This is simply an ungrateful, white-eyed wolf who turns his face and does not recognize people.

Mo Linglan was also ashamed of the previous emperor's actions, but what happened back then, King Anyang also knew nothing, and not everyone knew the inside story, he just asked: "Does Empress Yuan have an heir before she dies?" ”

"Nope."

King Anyang said, "At least before entering the cold palace, she has never had children. ”

King Rui spoke: "Since she doesn't have any children, where did Yuwen Zheng come from?" ”

Yu Wenzheng's banner is the grandson of the first emperor and the queen of the Yuan, that is to say, he should be the bloodline left by the parents of the queen of the yuan, and he is about the same age, but if the queen has no heirs, where did this grandson come from?

"Could it be that they just used the banner of the Empress Yuan, or that Yuwen Zheng is a descendant of the Tao family, just to settle the affairs of the year, and they want to take Dachen Jiangshan justifiably, so they pretended to be the identity of the descendants of the royal family?"

Mo Linglan shook his head when he heard this: "It's possible, but it's not likely." ”

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Mo Linglan said,

"Although there are not many people who know about the affairs of the Yuan Hou, the old prince and some old ministers in the capital are all aware, and they all know that the Yuan Hou did not leave an heir back then, if Yu Wenzheng just wants to borrow a name to pretend to be a descendant of the royal family, then instead of choosing the Yuan Hou, it is better to choose the princes and princes who died when he competed with His Majesty for the throne."

After all, the affairs of the first emperor and the queen of the Yuan have been a long time ago, and although the queen of the yuan was once the queen, she finally died in the cold palace, even if her children are orthodox in the royal family, they are not qualified to inherit the throne.

If you really just want a justifiable excuse, why bother to go far.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty may not be so clean when he ascended the throne, and there must be people from the royal family who fought with him in vain, rather than pretending to be the heir of the Empress Yuan, it is better to pretend to be the crown prince who was abolished for his crimes.

As long as you find some reasons to "overturn the case" for the first prince, and then say to the outside world that the events of the year were done by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this just the right thing to say, and it is not easy to be recognized?

Mo Linglan says:

"They chose to use the bloodline of the Yuan Hou as the name, in order to justify the death of the Yuan Hou that year, and what they are targeting is not necessarily Emperor Ming Xuan, but it is very likely that the first emperor has already passed away."

"If this is the case, then at least eighty percent of Yu Wenzheng's identity should be true, could it be that he was already pregnant when Empress Yuan entered the cold palace that year? Didn't the old prince also say that Empress Yuan suddenly committed suicide after entering the cold palace for more than half a year. ”

"Could it be that before she died, she gave birth to a child, and Yuwen Zheng is the bloodline of this child?"

King Anyang hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's possible." ”

Mo Linglan frowned: "When Empress Yuan died, no one checked her body?" ”

King Anyang smiled bitterly: "Who dares?" ”

"The first emperor has always regarded her as a taboo, and no one is allowed to mention half a sentence after she enters the cold palace, and her death is so miserable that she can be scared to death in broad daylight, and even the first emperor is shocked to nightmares every night......"

King Anyang was suddenly stunned as he spoke.

That's right, if Empress Yuan really just couldn't bear the loneliness of the cold palace back then, she could kill herself after entering the cold palace, why wait until more than half a year later? And Empress Yuan is an extremely decent person, even if she seeks death, there is no need to make the scene so bloody and terrifying......
