Jian Huaizhen raised the golden jade staff in his hand and hit Zhu Jianshen hard, Zhu Jianshen only felt that his vest was numb for a while, at this moment he couldn't notice whether it hurt or not, he only felt that his back was hot, like it was on fire.

Jian Huaizhen continued: "Your Majesty, I beat you with this rod for the first emperor, it was the first emperor who didn't teach you well, so you became what you are now, it is really a shame for the first emperor, so this palace teaches you a lesson for the first emperor, are you convinced or not?" ”

Where did Zhu Jianshen dare to say that he was not convinced now, he nodded and said: "What the eldest princess taught is that her grandson is served." ”

"Okay." Jian Huaizhen nodded, stretched out the golden jade staff in his hand again, and hit Zhu Jianshen's back hard.

The force she used with this staff was huge, and it broke the dragon seat behind Zhu Jianshen, but the golden jade staff stopped abruptly when it hit Zhu Jianshen's back.

She held back the grief and indignation in her heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, if the rod of this palace is beaten, you will definitely not survive in this world, this rod of this palace is for the more than a thousand souls who died in vain, you have done such a wrong thing now, do you admit your mistake or not?" ”

Zhu Jianshen saw that Jian Huaizhen broke the back of the dragon chair with a cane, he was already shocked at this moment, he saw that Jian Huaizhen's staff had not fallen for a long time, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that if this staff was knocked down, he would indeed have no life, and Jian Huaizhen did not beat it down, obviously because his subordinates were merciful.

He touched the layers of cold sweat on his forehead, his voice was already a little trembling, and he said to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess's grandson admits his mistake, the grandson knows that he has done wrong, and the grandson promises that he will never do this kind of thing again in the future." ”

His voice trembled violently when he spoke, obviously very scared, Jian Huaizhen rarely saw Zhu Jianshen so scared, looking at his expression, he was obviously terrified.

Jian Huaizhen didn't want to fight with a cane, she knew that after a cane, she would definitely kill Zhu Jianshen, in fact, she felt that Zhu Jianshen was a good emperor overall.

But because of Wan Zhen'er's slander, coupled with the fact that she was tired of her feelings for a long time, she felt that Zhu Jianshen could still change it, although she was also very angry for the more than a thousand wronged souls, but Zhu Jianshen was finally the king of a country.

If she killed the emperor with such a rod, if she was not in this world, how could she explain to the dead emperor? Therefore, she still showed mercy.

Zhu Jianshen's attitude of admitting his mistake made Jian Huaizhen feel a little comforted, and she looked at Zhu Jianshen's appearance, as if she had really realized the mistake she had made.

Only then did she nod and said, "Your Majesty, you said this to me in person today, don't forget, if you forget what I said one day, then I will definitely come back to settle today's account with you." ”

Zhu Jianshen agreed repeatedly, at this moment he was already extremely scared.

Jian Huaizhen grabbed the golden jade staff and walked forward, she took two steps and turned around and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "The Empress Dowager, the so-called loving mother has many defeated children, you should pay more attention to the emperor's behavior, the lives of more than a thousand people, how many unjust souls should be added to hell, if there are our husbands and children among the dead people, how do we feel?" ”

Jian Huaizhen's words hit the heart of the Empress Dowager Zhou like a heavy knife, and the Empress Dowager Zhou stepped forward and raised her hand to give Zhu Jianshen a slap.

said to him, "Your Majesty, it was the mourning family who did not discipline you well, you must reform from now on and be a good and virtuous emperor, do you know?" ”

Zhu Jianshen didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Zhou would come forward and slap him again, he felt a little aggrieved in his heart, but he still didn't dare to show it, he said: "The eldest princess and the sons and ministers of the queen mother have remembered it. ”

Jian Huaizhen moved slightly, she knew that the reason why Empress Dowager Zhou did this was to show herself, hoping that she could dissipate her anger and stop blaming Zhu Jianshen.

She felt that Empress Dowager Zhou was really well-intentioned, and it was not easy to be a mother to do so many things for her son, so she didn't say anything and left silently.

After Jian Huaizhen left, Empress Dowager Zhou hugged Zhu Jianshen and cried, crying bitterly: "My son, you have suffered. ”

Seeing this, Empress Dowager Qian shook her head, and ordered Lin Jian'an to ask the imperial doctor to come and treat the emperor.

After Jian Huaizhen returned to Wan'an Palace, she walked back with a murderous face, and her eyebrows were gloomy.

Scatter brought the tea and whispered to her: "The eldest princess doesn't know why, maybe I was wrong, I have been in the palace with the eldest princess for so many years, why do I think you are becoming more and more unhappy?" ”

Jian Huaizhen was slightly stunned, but didn't say a word.

Scattered continued to say to himself: "I remember that when the emperor was alive, the eldest princess sometimes became unhappy, but that kind of day is very rare, most of the time the eldest princess is still very happy, often go to Huaiming Garden to get together with Fang Daxia, when you get together, each of you will be very happy, that is also the day when Zero feels very happy, but I don't know why, in the past two years, I feel that the eldest princess's smile has become less and less." ”

Jian Huaizhen didn't say anything for a long time, she only felt an inexplicable pain and depression in her heart, she knew that what she said was the truth, and she didn't know why since Zhu Jianshen took the throne, she could never return to her previous happiness.

Because Zhu Jianshen always had so many things to worry about, she remembered that Zhu Qizhen had done something wrong when he was on the throne just now.

She shook her head and said: "This palace doesn't know, maybe it's because the emperor is too young and too young to handle things calmly and rationally, this palace believes that the emperor will be older in the future, and he will always be able to understand the hard work of this palace, and he will not worry so much about this palace." ”

"What the eldest princess said is that Ling Luo also felt that the emperor was very wise in the past, and I don't know why he has become a little confused now." Scattered said while renewing tea for Jian Huaizhen.

After Jian Huaizhen left, Empress Dowager Qian ordered Lin Jian'an to send the imperial doctor to Zhu Jianshen, and the imperial doctor was startled when he saw the scar on Zhu Jianshen's back, and he said to the empress dowager of the two palaces: "The queen mother of the two palaces is just hurting the flesh and skin, although it is only hurting the flesh and skin, but you still have to take care of it for a few days." ”

His imperial physician was very panicked, because Zhu Jianshen was the emperor, who could leave such a deep mark on his back? Who can beat him with his own hands? So he became very frightened.

Zhu Jianshen nodded, endured the anger in his heart and the pain in his body, and said to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother Qian, go back first, don't worry about me, I am much better now, I have already learned my mistake, and I will never make such a mistake again in the future." ”

The two of them looked at each other, nodded their heads, and withdrew together.

Empress Dowager Zhou said to Empress Dowager Qian as she walked: "The eldest princess can also do it, the emperor is always her grandson, how can she treat the emperor like this?" ”

Why did Empress Dowager Zhou say that? People are not sages, who can do nothing, the emperor is not a sage, he also makes mistakes, he makes mistakes, the eldest princess punishes him, this is also deserved, if otherwise as the emperor can do evil, it will not be a great chaos in the world. ”

When the Empress Dowager Zhou saw the Empress Dowager Qian say this, she was very dissatisfied, what the Empress Dowager Qian said was actually from the heart, but in the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou, she felt that it was not a taste, she always felt that what the Empress Dowager Qian said was a stone, but she still held back the anger in her heart and did not collide with the Empress Dowager Qian.

Zhu Jianshen waited until the queen mother of the two palaces left, and then said to Lin Jian'an: "You go and tell the imperial doctor not to spread today's events, if there is a little rumor, I will want the life of his whole family." ”

"Yes." Lin Jian'an saw that Zhu Jianshen's attitude was so gloomy, and hurriedly replied.

Zhu Jianshen stopped him again and said to him, "Lin Jian'an's matter today? ”

Lin Jian'an hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave didn't see anything today, and nothing happened today. ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "Okay, count you smart, okay, you go out!" ”

"Yes." Lin Jian'an walked out as he agreed.

At this moment, Zhu Jianshen was lying alone on the dragon couch, not to mention how resentful he was in his heart.

He said repeatedly: "It's really a mistake, I didn't expect to take a wrong step, it would lead to today's situation." ”

The more he thought about it, the more hatred gathered in his heart, and in the end, the endless hatred slowly gathered, like a cloud in the sky, and he couldn't disperse if he wanted to.

He felt very resentful, as an emperor, he was supposed to cover the sky with one hand, between the world, above ten thousand people, standing tall in the middle of ten thousand people, unattainable, but so he was beaten by Jian Huaizhen with a golden and jade staff, if this matter is passed on, where will he put his face as an emperor?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt hatred, and after thinking about it, he felt that this matter could never be counted like this, as long as Jian Huaizhen had a golden jade staff in his hand for a day, then for him, a day would be a threat, he must find a way to snatch the golden jade staff from Jian Huaizhen's hand, or destroy the golden jade staff, so that his heart could be stable, and his dragon seat could be stable.

If not, he would have to live in a trembling battle every day in the future, but how could he snatch the golden jade staff from Jian Huaizhen's hands?

He thought about it and couldn't think of a way, and at this time he thought of a person-Wan Zhen'er, at this moment Zhu Jianshen had already regarded Wan Zhen'er as a life-saving straw.

In the past, he didn't want to see Wan Zhen'er very much, but now he is serious about Wan Zhen'er, he feels that Wan Zhen'er is very wise, and sometimes he can really help him, so he ordered Lin Jian'an to quietly pass Wan Zhen'er over.

After Wan Zhen'er came over, she saw Zhu Jianshen lying on the dragon couch, so she stepped forward to salute Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand and said, "That's it, you get up, I summoned you today because I want you to help me come up with an idea." Zhu Jianshen said straight to the point.

Wan Zhen'er was slightly stunned and said, "What is the matter with the emperor summoning the concubines to come and need the help of the concubines?" As long as the concubine can do it, she will never give up. ”

Wan Zhen'er saw Zhu Jianshen lying on the dragon couch, she had long heard that the emperor was scolded by the cane.

Although Zhu Jianshen had told Lin Jian'an and the imperial physician not to spread the news that Jian Huaizhen beat him with a golden and jade staff, how could there be an impermeable wall in the palace, not to mention that when Jian Huaizhen walked to the Qianqing Palace with the golden and jade staff, he was seen by many palace maids and eunuchs, and after Jian Huaizhen came out, the emperor summoned the imperial doctor, as long as it was a little thoughtful, he could guess what was going on.

Therefore, they all talked about this matter, and as for why Jian Huaizhen scolded Zhu Jianshen, everyone talked about it and had different opinions, some said that the emperor had done something wrong, and some said that it was unreasonable for the eldest princess to rely on the old and sell the old.

In short, there was a lot of discussion in the harem for a while, and there was everything to say, but Wan Zhen'er already knew what the reason was, and she already knew that the reason why Jian Huaizhen scolded Zhu Jianshen was because Zhu Jianshen wanted to set fire to the crown and couldn't do it, and as a result, more than 1,000 people who were involved in Baitou Mountain were burned to death and buried in the fire.

Wan Zhen'er herself feels that she is a vicious person, but compared to Zhu Jianshen, she is still a small thing, especially Zhu Jianshen did not hesitate to take the lives of so many people in order to burn a Yu Mian, this vicious heart is really far beyond her reach.

She also resented Zhu Jianshen very much in her heart, because Zhu Jianshen always deliberately dealt with Yu Mian, in her heart, Yu Mian is very important to her, Yu Mian is her first love, that kind of first love, no one can forget.

Therefore, Wan Zhen'er couldn't watch Zhu Jianshen hurt Yu Mian, and when she saw Zhu Jianshen being scolded by Jian Huaizhen, she actually skipped a trace of happiness in her heart.

Despite this, she can also distinguish the priorities of the matter, she knows that if the emperor has something long, then her concubine Wan will no longer be the concubine in this palace, if she wants to gain power, it will never be possible, so when Zhu Jianshen asked her to give advice, she still agreed.

Zhu Jianshen's eyes were shrouded in hatred, and he said slowly: "I summoned you today because I wanted you to help me come up with an idea, how could I snatch the golden jade staff in the hands of the eldest princess, or break this golden jade staff, otherwise I can't sleep soundly every day." ”

Wan Zhen'er smiled and said: "The emperor can't sleep well, that's also right, the so-called side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, although the eldest princess is an elder, but she can't rely on the old to sell the old to restrict the emperor, after all, the Ming Dynasty has ancient precepts since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the eldest princess is also a person in the harem, how can she interfere with the emperor's political opinions?" ”

Wan Zhen'er's words were very beautiful, and Zhu Jian felt the same way, he nodded and said: "Zhen'er, you still know my mind in this harem, and it is not in vain that I hurt you in vain." ”

"If the emperor wants to take back the golden and jade staff from the hands of the eldest princess, he must also obtain the support of the queen mother of the two palaces, the queen mother of Qian, she may not help you, because she was originally a party of the eldest princess, but the queen mother of Zhou will definitely help you, the queen mother of Zhou is your biological mother, and now you have been punished so heavily, how can the queen mother of Zhou watch her son be punished?" Wan Zhen'er mentioned Zhu Jianshen on the side.

When Zhu Jianshen heard Wan Zhen'er say this, he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, okay, I will go to see the Empress Dowager Zhou tomorrow, she will definitely help me." ”

"Okay, as for what should be done for the rest of the things, Rong Zhen'er will go back and think about it, and then come to discuss countermeasures with the emperor." Wan Zhen'er said.

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand with great satisfaction, and ordered Wan Zhen'er to retreat, and after Wan Zhen'er saluted Zhu Jianshen, he went back to Yonghe Palace.

Wan Zhen'er lost Zhu Jianshen's favor, she has always been sad about this matter, and now although Zhu Jianshen has never loved her, he regards her as a military adviser by his side, and that relationship is just like Wan Zhen'er and Mama Chen and Gu Lengyi.

The so-called is both glory and loss, Wan Zhen'er is the person who can help Zhu Jianshen come up with the idea, so it is much easier to do, Wan Zhen'er wants to be reused by the emperor, it is not impossible.

After Wan Zhen'er went back, she went to discuss the matter of the emperor's summoning of her today with Mama Chen and Gu Lengyi.

Zhu Jianshen came to the Yongshou Palace with the support of Lin Jian'an and the little eunuch, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was shocked when she suddenly heard that the emperor was coming, because the emperor was only beaten by Jian Huaizhen the day before yesterday, and his body must not be very good, why did he suddenly come to the Yongshou Palace?

She waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and invite the emperor in!" ”

Saying that, he also stood up to greet Zhu Jianshen, and after Zhu Jianshen walked in, he glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhou, and shouted with a full expression: "Queen Mother!" ”

Zhu Jianshen only looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou with that kind of eyes when he was a child, and his changes made the Empress Dowager Zhou feel very surprised, the Empress Dowager Zhou nodded, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, helped him sit down on the side, and said, "Your Majesty, you are really suffering." ”

"The sons are not bitter, as long as the queen mother is not sad for the sons, then, no matter what, the sons will not feel bitter." He said slowly.

When the Empress Dowager Zhou heard him say this, she felt that her liver and intestines were broken, she only had such a son, and she poured all her love into this son in her life, when the emperor was alive, she did not love her, and her son was all her hope, so she was extremely good to Zhu Jianshen.

When the first emperor died, Zhu Jianshen became the emperor, and she was respected as the queen mother because of her son's joy, she knew that if there was no Zhu Jianshen, she would not be where she is today, so no one in her heart can compare to her son.

When she saw that Zhu Jianshen was punished by Jian Huaizhen, she still felt a little unbearable, but what Jian Huaizhen said was not unreasonable, a thousand wild ghosts and lonely souls, that is a thousand human lives, living human lives, just burned to death by him with a fire, could it be that Jian Huaizhen was angry, so the Empress Dowager Zhou also endured it.

Now that she saw Zhu Jianshen coming to her with tears in her eyes, she felt a thousand hatreds and old hatreds surging into her heart for a while, and her heart rose and fell, but she didn't know what self-defense was.

Zhu Jianshen said to the palace maid and eunuch next to him: "You guys should step back first, I have something to say to my mother." ”
