Chapter 28 Hidden Merit and Fame Twenty-Eighth

Qin Tai took out three more relevant materials. One is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, when Zhu Di went south, in order to have a good relationship with a local general, he ate a local specialty stinky tofu. As a result, after coming back, he almost took Zhu Di's old life, and Zhu Di didn't dare to eat soy products anymore. After Emperor Jianwen fled, Ming Chengzu ascended the throne and became the emperor, while sending people to secretly find the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen. At that time, many local officials said that they had found Emperor Jianwen, and in order to determine the identity of Emperor Jianwen, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di privately asked these people to force the so-called Emperor Jianwen to eat stinky tofu. As a result, all Emperor Jianwen ate stinky tofu and had nothing to do, which means that these Emperor Jianwen are all impersonating.

A piece of information is that Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua. Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua was the son of Zhu Qizhen of Zhongzong of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Wara people because of the Battle of Tumubao. In order to stabilize the overall situation, the imperial court had no choice but to make Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu the emperor and respected Zhu Qizhen as the emperor. After Zhu Qizhen came back, his younger brother Jingtai Emperor Zhu Qiyu was unwilling to return the throne to his brother Zhu Qizhen, and imprisoned Zhu Qizhen's family in the South Palace. When Zhu Qizhen was imprisoned in Nangong by his younger brother Zhu Qiyu, the young Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen and his parents lived a precarious life. Zhu Qiyu even wanted to starve his brother Zhu Qizhen's family to death, in this case, Zhu Jianshen, who was hungry, put everything in his mouth. A guard saw that Zhu Jianshen was pitiful, and threw a bag of soybeans through the palace wall, which became Zhu Jianshen's delicacy. Zhu Jianshen was reluctant to eat it all at once, so he ate a few soybeans a day and then put the soybeans in his arms and kept them carefully. Unexpectedly, the soybeans went bad, Zhu Jianshen was still reluctant to throw them away, and after eating the moldy soybeans, Zhu Jianshen almost died. That's why Emperor Chenghua had the quirk of not eating soy products all his life.

The last emperor to fall ill was the little emperor's grandfather, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong believed in Taoism since he was a child, and after becoming an emperor, he was quite an immortal Taoist emperor. When the alchemist gave Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong alchemy, he found that Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong's physique was not good. In order to reflect the effect and effect of the elixir, the alchemist added the ingredient of bean dregs to the elixir without knowing the taboo of Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong. Fresh bean dregs not only did not cause Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong to get sick, but also strengthened Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong's physique. The alchemist increased the proportion of bean dregs in Dan Yao, and it just so happened that this time the bean dregs were a little moldy, and this batch of pills became a poison that almost killed Emperor Zhu Houcong of Jiajing. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong killed this alchemist as soon as he rescued him, and at the same time ordered no one to put soy products in the diet of royal family members.

Just when everyone was skeptical of Qin Tai's words, Qin Tai asked his wife to prepare two servings of stinky tofu and aged mustard soup. Qin Tai personally took a bowl of stinky tofu and sent it to the little emperor and King Lu, so that the little emperor and King Lu could eat it. Zhan Xiaoxiao prepared aged mustard soup on the side, ready to relieve the illness of the little emperor and King Lu. The little emperor and King Lu had seen the scene of the prince's illness, and no one dared to try this stinky tofu easily. Empress Dowager Li on the side immediately understood the meaning of Qin Tai and his wife, and in a very unreasonable way, she personally stuffed a large piece of stinky tofu for each of her two sons. The little emperor and King Lu didn't have time to taste the taste of stinky tofu, so they found that their bodies were itchy and unbearable, and they didn't care about any face, so they reached out and scratched the itch on their bodies.

Empress Dowager Li wept while with Empress Dowager Chen, Empress Dowager Chen poured aged mustard soup for the little emperor, and Empress Dowager Li poured aged mustard soup for King Lu. Soon after, the little emperor and the king of Lu finally quieted down, but they seemed to be exhausted. Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li personally sorted out the clothes of the little emperor and King Lu, and even Empress Wang came over to put on the crown of the little emperor. The situation of the little emperor and King Lu surprised everyone, and no one came up to help.

Qin Tai said to everyone: "Have you seen it clearly? The power of stinky tofu is so powerful, this is a big issue related to the life and death of the princes, everyone should remember. Stinky tofu can't be eaten, and if you really eat stinky tofu, you can use aged mustard soup immediately. Aged mustard soup is not tasty, but it's a lifesaver. Not only should you always have it at home, but you should also eat it as soon as you should eat it. This is the first purpose, and the second purpose has been shown to everyone. The emperor and King Lu will also get sick if they eat stinky tofu, so it means that the emperor and King Lu are also descendants of the royal family surnamed Zhu. Since the emperor is a descendant of the royal family and has not made a big mistake, there is no need for everyone to target the emperor. King Lu, tell me, do you want your emperor brother to step down? ”

King Lu immediately understood what Qin Tai meant, and said, "I didn't say that I would target the emperor's brother. To slander my emperor's brother is to slander me, and to say that my brother was not born to my father is not the same as saying that I am not my father's own son? I can tell you with certainty that my brother and I are both sons of my father. Whoever dares to make a fuss about this matter is tantamount to going against my Luwangfu, and our Luwangfu will definitely accompany him to the end. ”

Qin Tai saw that the little emperor and King Lu had secretly formed an alliance, so he was a lot more relieved. said: "The next thing is about the case. In the past few days, there have been many rumors, saying that the emperor is not a descendant of the previous emperor, and that the emperor and King Lu are arguing for the throne, etc. Now it seems that these are all unfounded rumors. First, the emperor is determined to be the flesh and blood of the former emperor Longqing, and has absolutely legal and reasonable inheritance rights. Second, King Lu and the emperor are brothers, relatives of the same father and mother. Third, King Lu has never targeted the emperor, and he will not want the emperor to step down because of the throne. Fourth, the emperor and King Lu's brother and brother Gong are a pair of good examples, and it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to kill people with a knife. Fifth, the reason why the princes want to convene the clan meeting is to find out the truth of the murder and prevent this kind of thing from happening again. Your Majesty, King Lu, and all the princes, do you think what I said is right? ”

The little emperor and King Lu immediately nodded in agreement, this is not a matter of hesitation, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. The actions of the Little Emperor and King Lu made everyone aware of the change in the situation, and now the Little Emperor and King Lu have joined forces, and the two brothers have become an alliance. King Lu, the biggest victim, no longer pursues the fault of the little emperor, and King Lu, the person who is most likely to come to power, has given up the opportunity to be the emperor, is it necessary for the princes to pull the little emperor off the horse again? It's not a good thing to offend the little emperor, once the little emperor is not ousted, anyone who has persecuted the little emperor will have a hard time. It's better to take this opportunity to step down, the little emperor is embarrassed to target everyone at this time.

King Han looked at Qin Tai unwillingly, all because of Qin Tai's appearance, otherwise the situation would not have changed so dramatically. The reason why King Han was so enthusiastic about abolishing the little emperor was because he himself had certain illusions about the throne. According to the original script arrangement, King Lu targeted the little emperor and said something suspicious of the little emperor's background. The little emperor had no way to prove that he was the flesh and blood of Emperor Longqing, so he had to give up the throne. King Lu can become the first in line to the throne. But once it is proved that the little emperor is not the flesh and blood of Emperor Longqing, that is to say, the little emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Li, is not chaste, even if King Lu is the son of Emperor Longqing, King Lu cannot be the emperor. Because King Lu has such a mother, he must not be an emperor. Emperor Longqing had no other children, so Emperor Longqing's lineage was equivalent to having no right of inheritance. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong is the father of Emperor Longqing, and if Emperor Longqing has no descendants, the successor to the throne will inherit from the descendants of Emperor Zhu Houcong of Jiajing. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong had a total of three sons who were adults, among which King Yu, that is, Emperor Longqing, had no descendants, so he could only choose descendants from King Jing and King Wei to inherit. Because King Jing rebelled that year, the whole family was killed by Emperor Longqing, and there was no heir to inherit. King Wei had no heirs, so Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong had no descendants. Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong's throne came from his cousin Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao himself had no brothers and descendants, so he inherited the throne from his cousin Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong. If Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong and Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao had no descendants, they could only find recognition from their father's brothers. According to the blood relationship, this King Han is the most likely person to inherit the throne, so he fantasizes that he can be the emperor again. Qin Tai's experiment proved that the little emperor and King Lu were both the sons of Emperor Longqing, which was equivalent to completely ruining King Han's dream of being an emperor, and King Han was of course unhappy.
