The Queen Mother listened, but she didn't show a stunned look, and said after a while: "The mourning family has long known about this matter, and the mourning family has seen the child in private, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, which is somewhat similar to Qi Zhen." The mourning family understands that the emperor is afraid that the emperor will take their mother and son into the palace too early, and some people will have bad intentions, which will make their brothers fall into the wall, which is not good. Now that the second prince is also older, it is time to take him into the palace and learn some truths from the master. โ
After hearing this, Zhu Zhanji said happily: "The queen mother can understand my intentions, the best thing is that although Concubine Wu Xian was a criminal minister and daughter of the palace in the past, she should not be included in the harem, but now she is a righteous concubine, and I hope that the queen mother will treat their mother and son well, so that Qi Yu will become a good minister of Qi Zhen in the future." โ
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "They are brothers, so they should be." The queen mother still remembers that when the emperor established the crown prince, he once admonished him to 'be filial to the prince and be a friend to his brother.' Relatives and virtuous love the people, and live by benevolence and righteousness. Don't be lazy or arrogant, Maolong Wanshi's mourning family said in his heart, he has no brothers, how can he say this? It turned out that the emperor had long ago kept their mother and son outside the palace from the mourning family. The mourning family knew that Concubine Wu Xian was the queen's maid, and you didn't let her enter the palace because you were afraid that the mourning family would carry the Wu family to press the queen, right? โ
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he still had the intention of blaming him, and hurriedly said: "How can I speculate about the queen mother so much? It's really that there is no peace in this palace, and more things are better than less. lest Qi Yu grow up in the palace, listen to words that should not be heard, be used by others, and become a pawn competing with Qi Zhen. Isn't it great that this is the case now? Their brothers have their own world, and when they are sensible, their names will be decided, and no one will go to their brothers. โ
Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Queen Mother, in political affairs, I don't have to worry about you, but you are square and too well-behaved, and sometimes you can't help but neglect people's feelings, and Qingyang is strict on the outside and loose on the inside, and the heart is the most kind. Now that I'm gone, the only thing I'm worried about is your suspicion of her. I know that your attitude towards Qingyang is also out of consideration for the balance of the harem, I am afraid that she will be dominant, the Sun family will be rampant, and there will be a matter of relatives controlling the government, and even your love for her when she was a child is six points sincere, four points of use. โ
Seeing the Queen Mother's uncertain complexion, Zhu Zhanji continued: "Qingyang is the kind of person who is extremely intelligent and sensitive, she has always known that when you really love her, you have always been using her, knowing that she is just a pawn under your hands, if she can't be used by you back then, she will become an outcast, she knows that your love for her is more out of conspiracy, but she still uses a lot of heart to you, for your attitude towards her, even if you take Qi Zhen and raise her by your side, you can easily forgive." Mother, my son is gone now, I just hope that you will not live up to her admiration for you. โ
The Queen Mother's face was slightly angry, "In the emperor's heart, the mourning family is so calculating, is it embarrassing your sweetheart's vicious queen mother everywhere?" โ
Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly: "The queen mother knows that I don't mean this, but I just hope that after I make a big trip, the two of you can take Qi Zhen as your mind and assist him in governing the Ming Dynasty." In the heart of the queen mother, I have always thought that Qingyang is a camp step by step, and retreat is to advance, just to ascend to the queen's throne with all her heart, but I know that Qingyang is not like this, she does not love power, does not value high positions, and is not good at money and wealth, what she values most is affection, and it is the interdependence between us for many years......"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "The mourning family sees that the emperor is obsessed, so they think she is good in everything." โ
Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't think so, Zhu Zhanji said again: "Queen Mother, I am not a young man now, how can I make me dizzy?" It is precisely because she is my pillow person that I understand better than anyone else, you see that Qi Zhen, this child, is not close to his mother, but with you, how can he be intimate? In order to control the Sun family, didn't you hurt Qi Zhen? I, an adult, am caught between you, and there are still times when I am in a dilemma, and he is a child? I saw that day, his admiration for his companion Wang Zhen was better than that of our mother and son, isn't this the result of the competition between you and Qingyang? โ
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Wang Zhen, dog minion, he dares?" โ
Before her words landed, the prince was already holding her leg and crying: "Imperial grandmother, the prince treats his grandson very carefully on a fair day, don't blame him, it's the grandson who is not good, the grandson is not good, what are you dissatisfied with, tell the grandson, the grandson has changed, it is ......"
Seeing that the crown prince was like this, the queen mother fell into deep thought, blamed Zhu Zhanji and said: "Since the emperor found out, why didn't he tell the queen mother earlier, so that it has developed to this day?" โ
Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly, "I concentrate on state affairs on weekdays, and I don't know much about this harem, but I am still sick, and I summoned the prince several times, and saw that he obeyed Wang Zhenyan, and only then did I see the clues." It's just a minion, the queen mother doesn't have to take it to heart, as long as Qi Zhen is upright, can he still be swayed by a minion? He is just longing for family affection now, and it happens that Wang Zhen is always with him, so it will be like this, in the future, you let him stay by Qingyang's side more, their mother and son are of the same heart, where can others be inserted! โ
"Again, I put Wang Zhen next to the prince to serve, also because he has the talent and can drive people, as the master of the East Palace, he is solemn and calm, teaching the prince to read and write, and he is also very dedicated, but we ignore the prince's emotional needs, which will lead to this."
The Queen Mother pondered for a long time, and said: "This matter of mourning has its own measure, and the emperor does not have to worry about it." In the political affairs of the world, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, where can a slave be allowed to mess with the rules. โ
Zhu Zhanji said with a straight face: "The queen mother has endured for many years, and now she is still cautious in doing things, thinking about the worst in everything, but she never thought that you would not let the relatives in the family dictate power, and it is okay to Qingyang her." As for Wang Zhen, a minion, he didn't have to worry about it, but if he didn't handle it properly, it would inevitably hurt Qi Zhen's heart. โ
"Qingyang's temperament is actually very similar to that of the queen mother, both of whom would rather be broken than broken. Mother, think about it, she was originally cultivated by you, and you have always loved and respected you, why do you have such a deep prejudice against her? It's just because of my actions after the abolition that I have a 'stain' on the history books, as a mother, you naturally counted this account on Qingyang's head. But at this time, what knot can't be untied? โ
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, and then said: "As a monarch, of course, you should weigh the gains and losses in all aspects, you lost your reputation because of her abolition, she is a sinner in the eyes of the mourning family, the emperor has not said before, the abolition of the queen is a young and ignorant move, it can be seen that you also have remorse, if it is not her, how can my son be criticized for future generations?" She is a red face and a disaster, if she is still the queen of the Hu family, the emperor may not have this disease, and there will be this unjustified disaster. โ
Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Zhu Zhanji knew that the Queen Mother had a deep prejudice against Sun Qingyang, and it was definitely not something that he could persuade in a few words, so he sighed lightly, "When I abolished the Hu family, it was more than thirty years old, and it was only seven years ago, how could I be young and ignorant?" In that case, it is just a perfunctory courtier who often chatters about this matter, how can the queen mother also listen to it? I also say a lot of these words on weekdays, but the queen mother always can't listen to them, and now I don't ask the queen mother to understand, I just hope that after my big trip, you will treat her as Qingyang when she was a child, and don't be resentful. I hope you will be kind to her. โ
Seeing Zhu Zhanji's strong spirit, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to make him sad anymore, and nodded reluctantly, "The mourning family understands, no matter what she says now, she is also the master of the middle palace, and the mourning family will not do anything to her, the emperor can rest assured." โ
Zhu Zhanji stretched out his hand and touched the prince's head, "Qi Zhen, you have a good mother, you have to treat her well, like your imperial grandmother, serve her as kind, humble and filial." โ
The prince's eyes were red, and his tone was choked, "Father, don't worry, your sons should follow the teachings carefully." โ
After explaining a lot of things to the prince, Zhu Zhanji talked to the queen mother for a long time on state affairs, and then asked someone to draw up an edict for succession. Let Sun Qingyang in.
When Sun Qingyang heard this, he knelt in front of Zhu Zhanji's couch when he entered, and the tears in his eyes couldn't be stopped.
When he saw her weeping, the prince leaned into her bosom and began to weep loudly.
The Queen Mother was sad, but she held back her tears and said coldly: "The emperor is still here, your mother and son are like this, it is really unseemly." The mourning family teaches every day, and every time there is a calm in a major event, how can you forget it? โ
Listening to the queen mother's reprimand, Sun Qingyang's mother and son forcibly held back their tears, she hugged the prince and choked, only a pair of eyes, looking at Zhu Zhanji, as if she wanted to engrave his face in her heart.
At this time, the princes and grandsons, princes and nobles were all summoned and knelt outside.
The two princesses, Jinxiu and Jinying, as well as the second prince Zhu Qiyu, were brought in and knelt in front of the bed. Zhu Zhanji first pointed at Zhu Qiyu and smiled: "This is your younger brother......" and said some words of help to them, before looking at Sun Qingyang, whose eyes were red and swollen, and chuckled.
"Don't you love beauty the most on weekdays? How ugly it is to cry like this! His face was sallow, his eyes were slightly closed, and he did not have the fear of dying at all, but had an indescribable serenity, "Qingyang, I have been very happy to have you by my side all these years." Just like the queen mother said, don't be sad, birth, old age, sickness and death are the reincarnation of heaven, after you, take Qi Zhen and them to live every day happily and happily, don't think too much like before, and don't hide everything in your heart, you know? โ
"The concubines don't want it, the concubines want the emperor to accompany them. Your Majesty, you promised your concubines that you would watch Jinxiu and them, and watch them marry and have children. You also said that you will hug Qizhen and their children with your concubines in the future, Your Majesty, you can't talk and don't count. Sun Qingyang cried uncontrollably.
She knew very well in her heart that Zhu Zhanji's words for more than half a day were a return to the light.
By now, it is the end of the strong crossbow and it can't hold on.
