Chapter 62: The Story
Seeing Zhu Ke'er's stubborn and unwilling figure walking away little by little, Zhu Heyu opened his mouth and asked Zhu Ran: "Do you want to hear the story?" ”
Zhu Ran knew that this story must be related to Zhu Heqian, the prince of Ruixin, and Han Xiangzi, and looked at Zhu Heyu and said, "I think, as long as the prince believes in the concubine." ”
Zhu Heyu took a deep breath, and a faint bitterness appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Okay!" This king will tell a story to Ran Ran today. ”
…… Five years ago, on the third day of April, Concubine Rong was born. The emperor was busy with government affairs and had no time to withdraw, so he gave the concubine a jar of grape wine and countless treasures. The concubine drank the wine and fell asleep. The maid beside her helped the concubine to the dormitory to rest. In the evening, the emperor arrived. The concubine was still resting in the dormitory, and the emperor entered the palace and was furious. The reason is because on the bed, the concubine Niangniang and Han Xizhe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are lying naked together.
The next day, Han Xizhe knew that his sins were heinous, and he committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine for the sake of not being involved in the nine clans, and the concubine died of hunger strike in the face of the emperor without face. The eldest prince, Zhu Heqian, pleaded for his mother and was punished and grounded. Three days later, he was pressed into the prison, and died violently half a month later, and on the same day, Zhu Hechu was made the crown prince, and Lan Guifei was canonized as the queen.
Zhu Ran's face was stunned, and he only heard Zhu Heyu say again:
But who would know that the grape wine that day Rong Guifei only drank a glass, and besides, the concubine Niangniang was originally from a martial arts family, and she had always had a good amount of wine, so how could she fall asleep and not wake up.
The reason is that Lan Guifei, the eunuch who delivered the wine, and the maid beside Rong Guifei.
The eunuch put the drug in advance in the wine that the emperor gave to the concubine. Concubine Lan asked the Ministry of Rites to consult on the sacrificial etiquette, and she also put drugs in the tea. After Han Xizhe fell asleep, he changed into a eunuch costume and sent him to Concubine Rong's bedroom.
Then the maid took off the clothes of the concubine and Han Xizhe. What the Emperor saw was such a scene.
Zhu Ran suddenly thought of what Zhu Heyu said to her on the day of Du Yuyan's funeral: Do you still remember the step shake... It was the love affair between the mother concubine and Mrs. Han Xiang's father, Han Zhexi. was unstable and expressed his doubts: "Concubine Lan is not afraid that things will be revealed? Was Concubine Rong defenseless in advance? The emperor believed all this so absurdly? ”
"The mother concubine has always been upright and kind, and the heart of a gentleman is not good at speculating on the belly of a villain. As for why the emperor would believe absurdly, there is a saying that is good, seeing is believing. What's more, not to mention that the emperor was already weak-hearted, because Concubine Rong did fall in love with Han Xizhe before entering the palace. The emperor coveted the beauty of the concubine and forced her to enter the palace. When he saw the two naked that day, how could he not believe it. ”
"What about Lord Ryan, since he has been grounded, how can he go to prison?"
"Because today's saint, the father of this king," Zhu Heyu said in a sad tone, "Eight years ago, when the national fortunes of the Yuan Kingdom were not good, Han Xiangzi took the initiative to ask for help, reversed the situation, and made great achievements. The emperor spent three years with him day and night, and moved the sacred heart. But Han Xiangzi and the eldest prince have already told each other about their love. In the face of the holy decree, Han Xiangzi wrote on the recital: "The courtiers only want to have a couple for a lifetime, and if they don't succeed, they are willing to be shaved as nuns." Thinking of Han Xiangzi's merits and prestige in the court, the emperor could only give up. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, Lan Guifei took advantage of the matter of Rong Guifei Niangniang and Han Xizhe to provoke trouble, and said that the two love each other was the eldest prince's peeping at Han Xiangzi and the throne. Han Xiangzi decisively refused the saint, also because compared with the eldest prince, the current saint is old and frail and has no charm. When the emperor was young, he seized the throne because of a woman's murder, and as he grew older, he was very suspicious. In addition, some important ministers in the court at that time frequently asked the emperor to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, and the emperor heard Lan Guifei's words, he was angry and afraid, and did not distinguish the true from the false, so he put the eldest prince into the prison, and deposed all the ministers who asked the eldest prince to be the crown prince. ”
Zhu Ran looked at Zhu Heyu, feeling that the shadow of sword light and blood was appearing in his eyes, and he listened to him again in trembling: "The eldest prince is proud, there is no dust under his eyes, and he is completely chilled by the emperor in the face of such changes. In the prison, Concubine Lan came to visit, and told the eldest prince in the ear of the eldest prince how he was drunk, how he was undressed, and how he was lying naked with Han Xizhe. He also told the eldest prince that his mother did not die of a strong hunger strike at all, but was starved to death. The eldest prince let out a long roar after hearing this, and although his hands were tied, he bit off Lan Guifei's ear with his mouth. Concubine Lan was almost crazy at that time, and sneered and made people cut the tongue of the eldest prince......"
"The eldest prince is the emperor's biological son, how dare Lan Guifei!" Zhu Ran was shocked, no wonder he didn't see Zhu Heqian say a word today.
"Why wouldn't she dare, in the court, there is no longer a confidant of the eldest prince, and the emperor has completely given up the eldest prince, this time the eldest prince bit off her ear, and she has a reason to kill the eldest prince."
Zhu Ran couldn't help but think, the former Lan Guifei is missing an ear today's queen mother! I didn't find it on the day of the palace feast. Retracting his thoughts, he continued to ask, "How was the eldest prince rescued, and how was he with Mrs. Han Xiang?" ”
However, you may not know that Yunchen's mother is Han Xizhe's own sister. Yunchen's father, King Lin Yi, has visited the battlefield seven times and has made countless achievements. There was no shortage of cronies in the imperial court. King Lin Yi had a fateful relationship with Zhang Weidong, a waiter in the Criminal Department, Zhang Weidong risked his life to rescue the eldest prince, and found a dead man with a similar physical appearance to the eldest prince to get through. Concubine Lan was suspicious of her beliefs, but because there was no evidence, she told the emperor that the eldest prince died of depression. Although the emperor regretted it a little, he finally closed the case hastily by Dali Temple, and announced that the prince died violently. For the Han family, the emperor may have some scruples, Han Xizhe knew the emperor's heart very well, when he was young, the emperor forcibly got Rong Guifei, who had his heart, although Rong Guifei had been in the palace for many years, she was gentle and considerate to the emperor, but whether there was really an emperor in her heart The emperor could not be aware. Han Xizhe knew that this was a thorn in the emperor's heart, and this time he was misplaced by Lan Guifei's calculations, and he lost all the games, and he was powerless to save the situation. In order not to implicate Concubine Rong Guiniang, and not to implicate Han Fu and his daughter Han Xiangzi, Han Xizhe chose to die. In the end, although Han Xiangzi's official rank did not change, a sincere heart that was willing to fight for the country's country died. Shang Fold said: 'The daughter of the guilty minister, complaining about becoming a nun, the ancient Buddha of the green light, has lived all her life, and hopes that the saint will be fulfilled. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually issued a decree to give marriage, giving Han Xiangzi and Zhang Zhangqi, the son of Zhang Weidong, the champion of the new department, to marry, and named Han Xiangzi as Mrs. Han Xiang. Zhang Zhangqi admired Han Xiangzi's talent and sent Han Xiangzi out of the house to reunite with the eldest prince. That's what Ran Ran saw today. As for why Ran Ran returned with Han Xiangzi in the same car last time, the reason is that the queen will regularly send people to inspect, ostensibly to visit Mrs. Han Xiang, but in fact, it is to track down the whereabouts of the eldest prince, and Mrs. Han Xiang has to go back to Jinzhou Zhangfu from time to time. ”
"I see, then why did the emperor give a marriage unexpectedly?" Speaking of this, Zhu Ran felt a little ashamed in her heart, when she and Han Xiangzi returned to Kyoto in the same car, she had thought that Zhu Heyu had done it in order to tie up Han Xiangzi, and when she learned what happened, she secretly felt a little more favorable towards him.
Zhu Heyu fell deeply into the memory, and subconsciously replied to Zhu Ran's words: "Because the new champion saved Princess Kangshuo in the paddock, the emperor issued an order in front of the civil and military officials to fulfill Zhang Zhangqi's wish. And Zhang Zhangqi's wish is to marry Han Xiangzi as his wife. Saying this, his thoughts had returned, and his eyes couldn't help but look into the distance, the sun was setting in the west, but it would take some time for the sun to set, and it was the law of nature that human power could not make it advance or delay. What are the laws of man? Take Zhang Zhangqi's rescue of Hexi, except for himself, who would know that Hexi deliberately stood under the horse's hooves through his own arrangement.
"Zhang Zhuangyuan is really a loving and righteous person!" Zhu Ran thought of the rumors about Han Xiangzi and Zhang Zhangqi, the facts and the rumors are really different......
