Chapter 34: Cause and Effect 2
Since the first emperor did not follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to prevent the heroine from messing up the government and set up a son to kill his mother, what happened to make the holy concubine Du Guifei martyred overnight, and let the high-hopeful King Cheng be placed under house arrest for life......
Wei Man thought of the harem battle that was deceitful.
The final victors were Empress Shen and the three princes.
"Is the relationship between the Queen Mother and Concubine Du very bad?" Weiman asked.
"It's not good!" Cheng's mother sighed with emotion, her face showed a little mystery, and said: "Everyone is spreading in private, saying that the reason why the Queen Mother was placed under house arrest by the first emperor in Yong'an Palace was all due to Du Guifei's handiwork." β
"The Queen Mother is under house arrest!" Wei Man was surprised and asked, "When did this happen?" β
"Remember, it's probably the eleventh year of Yanhe, by the way," Cheng's mother said affirmatively: "It happened a few days after the full moon of the third eldest princess, it happened in November of the eleventh year of Yanhe, it was fine, but it was suddenly rumored in the palace that Empress Shen was locked up by the emperor because of heart disease......
Heart disease is a mental problem.
"What kind of heart disease is it?" Weiman asked, "Are there any symptoms of illness?" β
"I haven't heard anyone talk about it." Cheng's mother said: "However, after the first emperor went, the Empress Dowager also came forward to preside over the matter, but there was no rumor in Beijing that there was anything wrong with the Empress Dowager." β
"Mom means that the Queen Mother was not able to show up until the new emperor ascended the throne from the eleventh year of Yanhe?" Wei Man said in disbelief: "Is the Queen Mother actually under house arrest for five years? β
"Isn't it!" Cheng's mother nodded.
Wei Man sighed in his heart, five years of house arrest, normal people can be locked up for problems, not to mention people with mental problems, however, five years later, the Queen Mother appeared in front of people again, but no one noticed anything abnormal, based on the particularity of the symptoms of heart disease, it can only be said that the Queen Mother was not sick at all, then, a generation of the mother of the country was under house arrest, it can only be that the Queen Mother did something that the first emperor could not tolerate, and it is more likely that the Queen Mother lost the struggle with Du Guifei, was plotted by Du Guifei......
In this way, it also explains why the Shen family is in a hurry to find trouble with the Du family.
Weiman thought of Doh's imprisonment.
"It's my cousin who hurt Prince Fu'an, why didn't my cousin have anything to do, but Du He went to Jing Zhaoyin's prison?"
"Du Shizi didn't go to prison because of Prince Fu'an." Cheng's mother said: "He was imprisoned because he killed the guards of the old prince Kang and had a life lawsuit." β
"Old Prince Kang?" Why did another old prince Kang come, Wei Man asked puzzledly: "How did you kill the guard of the old prince Kang?" Was Old Prince Kang also present at the time? β
Prince Kang is the youngest son of Emperor Wudi, the founding emperor of Dajing, and the grandfather of the current emperor Helian Yan, who is the person with the highest rank in the Helian royal family, and his status is naturally very transcendent.
"I said I just returned to Beijing." Cheng's mother said: "Li Zhong also said that the dancing girl of Wanhualou disappeared after the incident, and everyone in private spread that the dancing girl had already entered King Kang's mansion. β
What kind of mess is this, Wei Man can't help but hold his forehead.
After a pause, Wei Man frowned again and asked, "Is it true that Du He killed Old Prince Kang's guard?" β
"Li Zhong said that at that time, everyone was paying attention to the prince of Fu'an, and no one cared whether a guard died at all, and he didn't even know that the old prince Kang was there, and it was the third day after the incident that he heard that Du Shizi was imprisoned for killing the guard of the old prince Kang."
One plan is not a regeneration plan.
"I see......" Weiman mused.
"Hey!" Cheng's mother sighed: "Du Shizi too, why did he kill the people of the old prince Kang, but I still remember, Du Guifei offended the old prince Kang's ......"
"Concubine Du is dead, does Old Prince Kang have the leisure to go to the Du family to talk about it." Wei Man sighed: "However, even if Old Prince Kang is too lazy to trouble the Du family, there will be many people in the capital who will fall into the Wenguo Mansion." β
"Isn't it!" Cheng's mother sighed with emotion: "That Wenguo Mansion is too ......" After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a suitable word to describe it, and finally entangled: "Wenguo Gong married Miss Du San to one of the staff of Lord Kang as his stepfamily, and also married Miss Du Wu to the younger brother of the concubine of Lord Jingzhao Yin Liu...... Du Shizi was released at this time, and Li Zhong went to see it, saying that it seemed that he had suffered a lot. β
"It's shameless to sell your daughter!" A staff member who can't be on the stage, a younger brother who has a favored concubine, Wei Man couldn't help but be extremely resentful in his heart, and said hatefully: "The Guogong Mansion can do such a thing, no wonder no one dares to step on it without Du Guifei!" β
"Who's to say it isn't." Cheng's mother also said with emotion: "Although those two young ladies are concubines, they are also young ladies from the Guogong Mansion, but the people who are worthy of this promise are ......."
"Mom." Wei Man couldn't help asking: "This Du family has also been rooted in the capital for more than ten years, why can they only be beaten passively if something happens, don't they have a good friend?" β
With the favorite concubine Du Guifei as a backer, under such unique conditions, didn't the Du family develop their own power?
"Huh! Miss is a little bit asked, although the Du family is from a businessman, but ah, the eyes are all on the top of the head, as far as I, the woman who stays in the inner house all day, what I often hear is what the Du family has done to bully people......" Cheng's mother said shamelessly: "Let's just say that Du Hongyu, the eldest lady of the Du family who just went a few days ago, Miss only thinks that the Du family is relying on the power of Du Guifei to make Du Hongyu marry into the Ding Mansion, but you don't know, At that time, the Ding Mansion had already orally agreed with the Sincerity Bofu on the marriage of Young Master Ding and Miss Leng Liu of the Bofu, and the two families were waiting for Young Master Ding to be happy in high school, but they didn't expect that Young Master Ding had just reached high school to explore flowers, and the Du family rushed to the front of the two families to ask for a holy decree to marry, and even more, Du Hongyu didn't give up after getting married, and even made a special trip to the door to humiliate Miss Leng Liu, Miss Leng Liu fell ill with depression for a while, and went to the ...... a few days after Young Master Ding got married."
"Sincerity?" Wei Man asked, "I remember, the little general Leng who fought with Du He was also from the Sincerity Mansion. β
"It's just a family." Cheng's mother said: "Miss Leng Liu is the aunt of General Leng Xiao, and she is the daughter of Mrs. Leng, and she is very pampered. β
In this case, the sincerity of the Bofu Leng clan and the Wenguo Mansion Du clan can be regarded as a feud, no wonder General Leng Xiao did not agree with Du He, if Ding Xiangyan and Miss Leng Liu had already fallen in love, then Du Hongyu is an enemy who has the hatred of killing his wife to Ding Xiangyan, plus Du Hongyu's general actions after marrying into the Ding Mansion, it is no wonder that the Ding Mansion is so ruthless to her.
Wei Man sighed, the Du family thought that they could run rampant with a favorite concubine, and it would be a price to fall into the field for a few days.
It's just that......
"Mom, there is a person named Du Qingyu in the Wenguo Mansion," Wei Man asked, "Is there anything special about this person?" β
"Du Qingyu, she is the second lady of the Wenguo Mansion, if you want to say special, she is the first beauty in the capital praised by the first emperor." Cheng's mother sighed: "I have also been fortunate to see Miss Du Er twice, to be honest, that long yo, it is really beautiful, and her behavior is different from that of other Du family, she is a very well-organized young lady, but it's a pity that ......."
Cheng's mother has a very good impression of Du Qingyu.
It turned out to be a beauty!
"Then, does this No. 1 beauty in the capital have anything to do with the current emperor?" Wei Man whispered to Cheng's mother and bit her ear: "I heard a rumor that the emperor likes her." β
"I seem to have heard this one or two ears before." Cheng's mother recalled: "That is, at the beginning of last year, there were rumors that the first emperor intended to marry Miss Du Er to the emperor who was still the prince at that time, and said that the emperor also liked Miss Du Er very much, but I heard that the queen mother was forced to die...... In the end, the emperor personally asked the emperor to marry the eldest lady of the Shen family, and the matter between Miss Du Er and the emperor was not mentioned again. β
"The emperor personally asked to marry the eldest lady of the Shen family? Is the Shen family in the Fuguo Mansion? "That's the queen mother's family, but there is no queen in the harem now, Wei Man asked suspiciously: "What happened to that Miss Shen?" β
"It's the emperor's foreign family, so Miss Shen is the emperor's cousin." Cheng's mother said with emotion: "If you want to say that the eldest lady of the Shen family is the person who our emperor really cares about, back then, the emperor personally asked the first emperor for marriage, not to mention, but also took pity on Miss Shen's poor health, and changed the wedding that was originally held in October to the first emperor to April of the following year, but I didn't expect that Miss Shen went in November of that year...... Our emperor didn't mention how sad he was at that time, he knelt in front of the palace of the first emperor for a day and a night, and begged the first emperor to allow him to keep filial piety to Miss Shen for half a year. β
"Filial piety to your fiancΓ©e?" Wei Man asked in surprise, "The first emperor even agreed?" β
"Yes, this is something that has never happened, everyone said that the first emperor was moved by the emperor's sincerity." Cheng's mother said: "The emperor originally begged to keep filial piety for a year, but the first emperor only allowed the selection of concubines to be postponed for half a year. β
Unexpectedly, before half a year had passed, the first emperor died without being able to marry the emperor.
"Then, since the emperor likes the eldest lady of the Shen family so much, but ......" Wei Man asked suspiciously: "Why is it rumored that he has an ambiguous relationship with Du Qingyu?" β
