Chapter 714: Rumors
Two years ago, the news of Zhanhuai's marriage reached the capital, and both the noble circle and the female dependents of the official eunuchs had heard a saying, that is, Zhanhuai married a little-known merchant woman.
The woman's surname was Xie, her father died early, she was rich in industry, orphans and widows were bullied, and she couldn't keep the family business, but fortunately, her daughter was young and beautiful, and she had a rich dowry, so she wanted to catch up with the powerful in the city, first, to find a home for her daughter, and second, to keep the family property.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, and orphan daughters like Xie who have dowries either recruit sons-in-law or commit themselves to being concubines with official status.
The Xie family thought the same way, each with its own take, which is understandable.
But no one thought that Xie caught up with Zhanhuai, but Zhanhuai was alone in Xi'an, without the control of his father and brother, and he was a young man, not only did he really fall in love with the daughter of the Xie family, but he actually wanted Ming Media to marry as a wife.
The Duke of Min was far away in Fujian, either out of doting on his young son, or out of the reach of the whip, so he agreed.
At that time, Zhanhuai was already a second-class member, and he was also the chief soldier of Yulin, Ganzhou and Shaanxi, and he was in a high position, and his family affairs were transmitted to the capital, which immediately attracted heated discussions, and it is said that even his sister-in-law, Princess Fangyi, was dumbfounded and shocked.
When Zhan Huai led the troops out of Beijing, the whole city scrambled to see Wulang, Zhan Wu's generals were fresh and angry, and they were heroic, which provoked how many regrets the nobles and ladies in the capital felt in their hearts, who would have thought that such a good cabbage would be arched by a woman of unknown origin.
Although most of the women who secretly admired him were married at that time, they did not say a word of sour words, and the fifth lady of Zhan, Xie Shiren, did not arrive in the capital, but I don't know how many people have chewed their tongues.
In less than three years, Zhanhuai reversed, and Xie's words on the upper floor of Xi'an City were also written down by literati and transmitted to the capital.
Of course, this was deliberately transmitted, otherwise with Xi'an's impregnable gold, how could it be known to the world so quickly?
However, at this moment, no one cared whether these were deliberately spread or not, because what Xie said was too shocking.
Zhanmen Xie's.
Just show the door, the world knows that she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family.
But this Xie family is not the little orphan girl of the merchant family that everyone knew before.
She is indeed an orphan daughter whose father died young, and she and her mother are indeed orphans and widows.
But they are no ordinary women.
Shaanxi Xie originated from Chenjun Xie, a surname comparable to the Wang family of Wuyi Lane, a real nobleman, and the founder of the Battle of Weishui.
Empress Gao, the Taizu of this dynasty, is from this Xie family.
Is that really the Queen?
Empress!
The Xie family at the exhibition door called the empress Emperor Taizu, isn't that the empress, but the real Emperor Taizu?
So who is the Emperor Taizu enshrined in the temple?
There are whispers inside and outside the palace about this matter, and those things are not unknown to anyone, but no one dares to mention them, just like a fig leaf, once a corner is lifted, then you can also probe through the corner that has been lifted, and the cloth will also be torn off.
I don't know when, the story of the female emperor and the female general, which was popular a few years ago, was turned out by storytellers, one person wanted to listen, two people wanted to listen, and many people wanted to listen.
Some people say that the female emperor in the book is the empress of the Xie family, and the female general who rescued the little princess in the book is the ancestor of the Zhan family, the first generation of the Duchess of Fujian, Gao.
Some people also say that Zhanhuai's wife Xie is actually the flesh and blood of the Xie family and the Gao family, and she also has an elder brother.
The world does not think that the daughter can also pass on the ancestry like the Xie family, in the eyes of the world, only with a son can the ancestry, it turns out that the Xie family still has a brother, so the Xie family and the Gao family are not extinct.
However, none of these things are as shocking as Emperor Taizu.
Some elderly people said that when they were young, they heard the elders in the family mention it by chance, but then they were told that they could not mention it in the future, and they could not say it, and if they said it, they would be raided and destroyed.
But if the empress's matter is true, and the empress's surname is Xie, then how did this Shen dynasty come about?
Mio!
I don't know who first said these two words, and in less than a day, these two words spread all over the capital.
The so-called Emperor Taizu turned out to be just a royal husband in the empress's harem, since he was the emperor, he was the third palace and six courts, of course, there would not be only one imperial husband.
If it sounds good, it's a husband, and if it doesn't sound good, it's a male pet.
No wonder it is said that today's little emperor is handsome, even the first emperor and King Qing are all beautiful men, and the descendants of male pets will certainly not be ugly.
There are even more people who like to quote chapters and classics, speaking of the fact that Emperor Taizong did not enshrine the noble Empress Dowager Xie as his mother-in-law in the past, Emperor Taizong not only did not enshrine the Empress Dowager Xie, but also did not posthumously seal his biological mother.
It turned out that it was not that the emperor had a backbone, but that there was another reason.
He was not recorded in the name of the Xie family, it was because their father and son stole the Xie family's country; He didn't posthumously seal his biological mother because his biological mother identity was too embarrassing.
It is likely that Taizong's biological mother was not included in the palace, so who is she?
Someone also found out the time of Xie's reign, as well as Emperor Taizong's birthday, so it is even more interesting, when Xie was in power, Emperor Taizong was already born.
The emperor's male favorite gave birth to a son with someone else, and this other person will definitely not be a palace maid, if it is a palace maid, it can't be hidden.
But if it is outside the palace, everyone does not have the courage to have children, how dare they have children with the emperor's male favorite, then eight or nine times out of ten, Taizong's biological mother is a happy woman.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even the imperial history did not dare to say the rumors, but Emperor Ming He already knew.
It is rumored outside that Emperor Taizu is a male pet, and Emperor Taizong is a male pet and a female prostitute......
Emperor Ming He knew that these words would not be groundless, nor would they be said to be there, some people were creating public opinion, and some people were adding fuel to the fire.
Everything was planned by the Zhanhuai couple.
Moreover, their planning can be traced back to a few years ago, otherwise how could the stories of those inexplicable female emperors and female generals have long been circulated in the market?
When Yulin Jun arrived at the Guogong Mansion, the Guogong Mansion was already empty, only Princess Fangyi was sitting on the kang, dressed in vegetarian clothes, her horse had been dead for less than a year, and she was still in the filial piety period.
When she moved into the Guogong Mansion, she only brought a few personal servants, and now, there is only one Guo Yuling by her side.
When the leader of the Yulin Army saw Guo Yuling, he was startled, although he had not seen this Guo family's daughter-in-law, but he had also heard of her name, the empress dowager personally selected for Princess Fangyi, it is said that she is both talented and beautiful.
But Guo Yuling in front of him is wearing a tie coat, and his smooth scalp can be seen under the small hat.
She became a monk.
She is a nun and an outsider, and she has no relationship with the Guo family for a long time.
