In the nineteenth year of Yongle, on the day when the second dragon raised its head in the second lunar month, the Ming Dynasty officially moved its capital, and Beiping was renamed Beijing, also known as Jingshi. In the past, the capital of Jinling, that is, Nanjing, became the accompanying capital.

On this day, Zhu Zhanji found out the secret that Sun Qingyang should have been established as the princess but was replaced by Hu Shanxiang.

It turned out that it was Wang Yuerong who passed Yuan Tianshi and told Emperor Yongle that Sun Qingyang's eight characters were hindered by the imperial grandson, and it was not suitable to be a concubine, which would bring blood and light to the imperial grandson. This is too much of a taboo for Emperor Yongle, if it weren't for Zhu Zhanji's affection for Sun Qingyang, I'm afraid that even the concubines would not have her share.

As for the divination, it was concluded that "it is advisable to seek a good couple by the Jishui River", but it was not faked, but Wang Yuerong said in front of Emperor Yongle that although Sun Qingyang's hometown was in Zouping, he moved his household registration to Yongcheng, and he was not a person who could help the water, but Hu Rong, a hundred households in Jinyiwei, was a native of Jining, and several daughters in the family were like flowers and jade, so you can see if there is a suitable concubine.

The original intention was to choose the second and fourth daughters of the Hu family who were better looking, but Yuan Tianshi combined the eight characters, but it was the eight characters of the third daughter Hu Shanxiang and the imperial grandson who were more suitable and suitable for being concubines.

"Mother, what do you think of this matter?"

Of course, the crown princess understood his thoughts, looked at him and said meaningfully: "This matter was decided by my father, how else can I deal with it?" It's just a mistake. Besides, Yuan Tianshi also said that the reason why he pushed the boat down the river was also because Qing Yang ordered Ge He to have such a catastrophe, and he didn't dare to go against the sky, otherwise he directly said that Qing Yang couldn't serve you at that time, wouldn't it be more worthy of Wang Yuerong's intentions? Since this is already the case, you can accept it, don't worry about it anymore, after all, the princess is also a good one. ”

On that day, Wang Yuerong did ask Yuan Tianshi to tell Emperor Yongle that Sun Qingyang should not stay in the palace, and should even be executed in order to protect the Ming Dynasty's 10,000-year foundation.

But Wang Yuerong doesn't believe in fate, but Yuan Tianshi knows that people's fate is destined by heaven, he calculated that Sun Qingyang has this calamity, and he can do personal favors because of the situation, but he doesn't dare to go against the destiny of heaven, and change Sun Qingyang's noble character to a cheap character, so he only said in front of Emperor Yongle that he can be a noble concubine, but his family is not suitable for Longchang, and he can't be allowed to override the princess, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the imperial grandson and the national fortune.

When Emperor Yongle asked him if he could get rid of it, or not let him enter the palace, Yuan Tianshi also said that in that case, it would lead to a greater disaster, so it was better to put it under his nose and suppress it, but it would be fine.

Therefore, although Sun Qingyang married Zhu Zhanji, he has never been happy with the emperor.

This is also the reason why the families of Zhu Zhanji's other concubines can be promoted and make a fortune, but Sun Qingyang's father is still a nine-grade official.

Zhu Zhanji slammed his fist on the table, "Why should Qingyang suffer this unwarranted disaster?" Then Yuan Tianshi was able to lie at the beginning, but did he know that he was not prevaricating us? ”

"The mother concubine believes that Yuan Tianshi can push the boat down the river, but she will never dare to talk nonsense, he is a person who has peeked into the heavens, and if he talks nonsense, it will be detrimental to himself. Zhan'er, since he said it, if Qingyang's fate is destined to be unattainable, God will have corresponding arrangements, telling you not to make decisions on your own, helping her to take refuge will affect her, why do you insist on harming her like this? ”

"Let's not talk about the will of heaven, with your imperial grandfather's temperament, will he think that he did something wrong that day? You have to expose the events of the day, but I am afraid that many people will die again, there are already too many people in this palace, and the mother concubine does not allow you to be so willful. ”

Seeing the princess's worried face, Zhu Zhanji sighed, how could he not know that since Yuan Tianshi was willing to admit this matter in front of him, he knew that this matter could only be done, not only could he not expose this matter, but even Yuan Tianshi could not move, otherwise, he would be like his father back then, he would be charged with the name of being the master without authorization, and would be impeached and the suspicion of the imperial grandfather.

It is precisely because he is loved by Emperor Yongle that Zhu Zhanji knows better than his father, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, that Emperor Yongle's taboo is there, and nothing can be touched.

Qin Tianjian, who can peek into the heavens, and Lingji Palace, which can refine the elixir of immortality, are all taboos that Emperor Yongle can't touch.

Fortunately, although Yuan Tianshi Yuan Zhongche was not as loyal as his father Yuan Hui, when he was at odds with the courtiers, he would even take advantage of his superb physiognomy to attack others in front of Emperor Yongle according to the "physiognomy method", but he only pointed out the weaknesses of others' lives, and would not make things out of nothing.

Zhu Zhanji said helplessly: "Erchen knows that this matter must be considered in the long run, but fortunately, Yuan Tianshi has promised Erchen to persuade the imperial grandfather to take less pills. ”

The crown princess sighed, she knew that Zhu Zhanji had not given up that idea, she was just looking for a suitable opportunity, and she only hoped that the princess Hu Shanxiang's birth would be a dragon, and it would also break the twists and turns in the future.

Although she owes Qingyang, compared with the turmoil of Concubine Zheng's abolition, she feels that it is better to be still.

After thinking for a moment, the crown princess said: "Since this is the case, don't publicize this matter anymore, as for Qingyang, I don't think about it to compare the gains and losses of these positions, she is an atmospheric person, she understands the hardships of the concubine and you, she will understand." ”

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Zhanji's mouth, "Is the mother concubine saying that a good child should suffer a loss, should he tolerate it?" ”

"That's not what the concubine meantβ€”well, it's come to this, and we're going to treat her twice as well in private, so why bother telling her about it, and make her more troubled? Didn't Yuan Tianshi also say, 'There are always times in life, and there is no time in life to force it'? ”

Zhu Zhanji disagreed, "You can listen to the babbling of those scholars, concubine." ”

The crown princess said: "Zhan'er can't say anything, that Yuan Tianshi has some real skills, in the past when your imperial grandfather was still the king of Yan, he once held a banquet in the palace to entertain Jianwen's civil and military officials, and asked Yuan Tianshi to meet them." He once said that the governor Song Zhong had a square face and big ears, and his body was short and airy; The political envoy Zhang Yu has small facial features and walks like a snake; all command Xie Gui, bloated and fattened and short of breath; The governor Geng Xian, with cheekbones and sideburns, is like flying fire; Yushi Jingqing, short and loud voice......"

"Even though they were rich and noble, they were all put to death according to the law." After Jingnan', your imperial grandfather ascended the throne as emperor, and those people were indeed executed as rebels. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji silent, the crown princess said again: "Yuan Tianshi can live in Shangbao Temple as a scholar and enter Shaoqing, he has his own ability, even your father was back then, and he also got his benefits, he judged people's life and death, future, all of them should not be fulfilled, you will also need to rely on him in the future, don't despise him." ”

"Since the mother concubine said so, the sons and daughters should treat him politely."

Having said that, it wasn't until March that Emperor Yongle listened to what Yuan Tianshi said and reduced the pill, and Zhu Zhanji really changed his opinion of him.

During dinner, Zhu Zhanji suddenly put down his chopsticks and said, "Qingyang, when will you find Yuan Tianshi to show you another look?" ”

"Again?" Sun Qingyang felt strange, she swallowed the Huaishan beef in her mouth, and said, "Why did Yuan Tianshi show me the appearance before?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned, and said casually: "Haven't you all been with me?" That's also a kind of look. I mean, let him show you in person. You don't know, this Yuan Tianshi is quite Taoist, he is treating the imperial grandfather today, and finally persuaded the imperial grandfather to take less pills. ”

Sun Qingyang knew about this, since the death of Wang Guifei last year before the headache of Emperor Yongle was caused by the pill, his father and the imperial grandson have not thought of a way, but in this matter, the imperial grandfather is very stubborn, and no one in the court can advise, and some people even lose their lives because of the dissuasion.

Because of the previous request for Xu Zhenren's immortal medicine to get rid of the disease, so in these years, whenever Emperor Yongle was sick, he sent people to Lingji Palace to ask God, after moving the capital, and even built Lingji Palace in the capital, and moved those Taoist priests over, although the pills he took were hot, and after taking them, he was phlegm and panting, and his temper was short-tempered, so that he couldn't speak, but because of the lessons from the past, no one dared to persuade him again.

She asked curiously, "Why is Yuan Tianshi so bold?" Neither his father nor His Royal Highness dared to persuade him, but he dared to say it? ”

Zhu Zhanji laughed, "That's why I said he had some Taoism...... told Sun Qingyang about the scene at that time.

When he was serving, Yuan Tianshi directly admonished Emperor Yongle, "The emperor has been phlegm and hoarse recently, and sometimes he has a splitting headache, according to Weichen's view, this is a disease of phlegm and fire deficiency, which is actually caused by taking the pill of Lingji Palace." ”

Emperor Yongle was furious and asked him: "If you don't take the immortal medicine, should you take the mortal medicine according to your opinion?" ”

Yuan Tianshi did not argue, only knelt down and kept kowtowing and crying, he cried so sincerely that his liver and intestines were broken, so that Emperor Yongle and the two soft-hearted little chamberlains in front of him also cried.

Emperor Yongle angrily ordered the servants to be dragged out and whipped, and then said, "You Yuan Zhongche cry, will I die?" ”

Yuan Tianshi didn't say a word, and fell under the Danqi in fear.

After a long time, Emperor Yongle let him get up after he was angry, and then he sent an edict to stop taking the pills of Lingji Palace.

The two whipped little chamberlains were also blessed by misfortune, saying that they were loyal to Emperor Yongle and were promoted three levels in a row.

After talking about how Yuan Tianshi persuaded Emperor Yongle, Zhu Zhanji analyzed Sun Qingyang, "Do you think, if it weren't for what Yuan Tianshi said before to verify one by one, how could Grandpa Huang trust him so much?" The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, the concubines in the palace, the words of our descendants, the imperial grandfather can't listen to any of them, but if he says it, he can understand it? It's not because Yuan Tianshi decided that people live and die, and said that people's future has never been lost. Although he didn't say it explicitly, as soon as he cried, Grandpa Huang also understood, and he was afraid that the pill had become a deadly poison as Yuan Tianshi hinted. ”

After he said this, Sun Qingyang also became interested in Yuan Tianshi, "It's not bad to really let him show it, but this, I'm afraid it will violate the rules, right?" She hesitated.
