188, three years of life
He couldn't help but admire Jian Huaizhen and said, "Eldest Princess, you are right. In that case, then I will obey the eldest princess, and the eldest princess said what should I do next? β
Jian Huaizhen looked at Zhu Jianshen, and there was a deep color in her eyes, and she said: "Until now, we will not move and wait and see what happens." β
Zhu Jianshen heard Jian Huaizhen say this, and couldn't help but nod again and again.
Zhu Jianshen was originally very obedient to Jian Huaizhen's words, no matter how Jian Huaizhen persuaded Zhu Jianshen in the past, Zhu Jianshen was willing to listen, and Zhu Jianshen was full of respect for Jian Huaizhen.
But a lot of things happened after that, and the relationship between the grandparents and grandchildren broke down.
The two of them have a lot of things that they can't communicate with each other, whether in politics or in other ways.
Now that time has faded with the passage of time, the estrangement between the two people, coupled with Jian Huaizhen's such devotion to Zhu Jianshen, makes Zhu Jianshen feel as if he has returned to the past.
And Zhu Jianshen knew that his life was less than three years, which made him not shocked and angry.
And he knew that if there was one person in this world who could help him, that person would definitely be Jian Huaizhen.
In his mind, there is nothing that Jian Huaizhen can't do, as long as Jian Huaizhen is willing to do it.
He had always thought that Yu Mian's status in Jian Huaizhen's mind was far better than his own, and he even thought that Jian Huaizhen was dissatisfied with him because of Yu Mian's affairs.
But now it seems that no matter how dissatisfied Jian Huaizhen is with herself, she always regards herself as her nephew and relatives, so she says these things to herself, so he is a little moved in his heart for a while.
After Jian Huaizhen talked with Zhu Jianshen, she felt Zhu Jianshen's trust in her, and she was comforted in her heart.
Because she knew that as long as Zhu Jianshen was willing to believe in herself, the next thing would be much easier.
If you want to find out which person is sent by King Miaojiang, you can save the emperor and save the Ming Dynasty.
After Jian Huaizhen made up his mind, he decided to stand still, and then wait and see what happened, and find out this matter step by step.
And at this time, there was a major event in the capital.
In fact, it is not a big event that is enough to shake the earth, but the common people of the people are already rich in imagination, and everyone likes to spread false rumors, and it is rumored that three people become bones, and this matter has become a great event.
That is, there is a rumor in Erlong County in the world, that it is the migrant workers of the Yellow River who excavated a cyan stone from the Yellow River when they were digging the Yellow River.
The stone painted two dragons flying and phoenix dancing, and at this time it happened that the bank of the Yellow River was drought, and the common people thought that the stone was a real dragon descending to earth, so they bowed down to the stone.
In this way, the story of the two green dragons painted on the stones excavated from the Yellow River became more and more intense, and the rumors became more and more prosperous, and later it spread to the capital.
I don't know who brought this news into the capital, but since the news reached the capital, it has spread everywhere.
Everyone said that there were two dragons in the capital, and each of those two dragons said differently.
Some people have that this stone is actually a dragon stone, which is a real dragon descending to earth, so this stone with two dragons painted appeared.
And more people say that it indicates that there will be a second son of heaven in the world.
One of the dragons in Erlong County is the current emperor Zhu Jianshen, and the other dragon is the unknown Son of Heaven.
The meaning of the stone is that the emperor will soon be replaced by the new emperor, and this news soon reached Zhu Jianshen's ears.
After Zhu Jianshen heard this, he couldn't help but be furious.
In addition, Jian Huaizhen told him that he had been poisoned by Tang Shock, so that his own life would not survive for three years.
The more these two things fit together, the more frightening he feels.
He thought to himself, "Is this true?" Is this really the case? Is it true that he will not live for three years? Is there really going to be a new emperor? β
He thought it was a sign from heaven, but the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.
Every time he was alone in the Qianqing Palace to deal with political affairs, his heart felt as if he had been run over by a boulder.
His every move fell into Gu Lengyi's eyes, and now Zhu Jianshen didn't go to Tang Jingran much.
Originally, since Tang Jingran obeyed him, the whole person has become boring, and he has lost the sassy and heroic posture of the chivalrous women in the rivers and lakes, which is no different from the ordinary concubines in the palace.
Second, Tang Jingran's whole person became dislike of anyone at all except him, Tang Jingran liked to stick to Zhu Jianshen, which made Zhu Jianshen feel very uncomfortable.
Because every concubine in this harem likes to stick to Zhu Jianshen, the reason why Zhu Jianshen likes Tang Jingran is that she is outstanding and extraordinary, she never sticks to it, and even disdains herself.
Men are sometimes such strange animals, and sometimes the more they send them to the door, the more they don't like them, and the more they don't get them, the more they like them.
Therefore, there is a saying that "a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, stealing is better than robbing, and grabbing is better than not grabbing", and this is what it means.
And the reason why Zhu Jianshen didn't want to see Tang was that he learned that he wouldn't live for three years because he had infected Tang with Gu poison.
On the one hand, he felt a little sorry for Tang Jingran, and on the other hand, he felt that Tang Jingran had caused this situation because of his involvement, so he became less and less concerned about Tang Jingran.
These soon fell into Gu Lengyi's eyes, and Gu Lengyi felt that now was a good opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions in front of the emperor.
He was attached to Wan Zhen'er before, but Wan Zhen'er was imprisoned in Xianfu Palace by Jian Huaizhen, and he couldn't get out of a single step.
It is impossible for Wan Zhen'er to be in the harem, at least for this year.
If you want to regain power in this harem, you must find a new master.
And if the master he found was the emperor, it would be the most beautiful thing in the world.
Because there is no one in the world who is bigger than the emperor, although the emperor has to respect the queen mother of the two palaces and the eldest princess Jian Huaizhen, they still have to obey the emperor's decision in the end.
Gu Leng thought of this, so he decided to take the opportunity to make a profit at this time.
He saw that Zhu Jianshen was often worried, his brows were deeply locked, as if he was thinking about something there, and he guessed that it was because of the rumors in Shuanglong County.
So on this day, he specially instructed the little eunuch to stew a bowl of ginseng soup, and then sent it to Zhu Jianshen.
Zhu Jianshen was depressed at the time, and suddenly saw Gu Lengyi walking forward with a bowl of ginseng soup, so he said coldly: "Father-in-law Gu, who ordered you to come in?" Get the hell out of here. β
Na Gu Leng put the ginseng soup in front of the emperor and said to him: "Your Majesty, it is the slave who is good at making his own claims. The slave saw that the emperor had been getting thinner and thinner recently, and he didn't think about tea and rice, and the slave was very distressed, so he stewed a bowl of ginseng soup for the emperor. β
Zhu Jianshen roared at him: "Who made you make an assertion, don't you even listen to my words?" Get out of here. β
Gu Leng agreed, and hurriedly walked out with ginseng soup.
After walking a few steps, he turned around again and said to Zhu Jianshen very sincerely: "Your Majesty, now you have to blame the old slave, and the old slave will also say it." The old slave knew why the emperor was worried, could it be that the old slave just watched the emperor worry? The old slave just wants to tell the emperor that if the emperor is worried about the rumors in Shuanglong County, then you should solve this matter and not let it happen. That's all the old slave said. β
With that, he walked out.
When Zhu Jianshen heard him say that he would let him solve the matter in Erlong County, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
He called out to Nagu Leng and asked him, "You just said that you would let me solve the matter of Erlong County, but how do you know who is the true dragon son recorded on the divine stone?" β
Gu Lengyi brought the ginseng soup to Zhu Jianshen again, and he said to Zhu Jianshen with a smile: "Your Majesty, please drink this ginseng soup and listen to the slave slowly give you an analysis." β
Zhu Jianshen didn't like others to threaten him, but after a few days of not thinking about it, he was indeed hungry.
So, he took the ginseng soup and drank it spoonful by spoonful.
Gu Lengyi smiled at this time and said to him: "Your Majesty, in fact, this rumor slave in Shuanglong County knows who to target. β
"Against whom?"
"The slave thought it was aimed at Zhu Jianchen, the prince of Nannei."
"Zhu Jianchen?"
Zhu Jianshen thought about it there for a long time, and then he remembered that there was indeed such a person in this palace.
Zhu Jianchen is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he was originally the son of Emperor Jingtai who was left behind in the people, and he was later found.
But because Emperor Jingtai had been ousted by Yingzong at that time, Zhu Jianchen didn't get any good fruits, and he had been trapped in Nannei all the time.
And Zhu Jianshen was almost about to forget about this person, if it wasn't for Gu Lengyi mentioning it just now, he wouldn't have thought of this person at all.
He couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Are you talking about Zhu Jianchen, the son of Emperor Jingtai?" β
"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave is exactly what he said. Your Majesty, think about it, since there is a saying that Erlong County has appeared in that divine stone, it means that there will be two emperors in this world, and the only one in the Ming Dynasty who has royal blood is only Zhu Jianchen in addition to the emperor, this second dragon must be right! β
Gu Lengyi's words just reached the bottom of Zhu Jianshen's heart.
Zhu Jian thought about it and felt that what Gu Lengyi said was very reasonable.
In addition to him, who is also contaminated with royal blood in this harem, it must be Zhu Jianchen.
If he dies in three years, then he has no children under his knees, and who is it not Zhu Jianchen who will succeed him as the emperor.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but change his complexion.
He was holding a brush in his hand at this time, but because the struggle in his heart was too fierce, he held the brush in his hand and crushed it in half.
The great eunuch Gu Leng saw his appearance, and knew that what he said at this moment was obviously rippling in his heart.
So, he continued to say: "Your Majesty, think about it, although it is said that the eldest princess is helping you now, if this prince Zhu Jianchen also wants to be the emperor, the eldest princess may not help him." β
Gu Lengyi actually didn't know that Zhu Jianshen would die within three years, he was just talking nonsense, trying to provoke the relationship between Zhu Jianshen and Jian Huaizhen.
He knew that if as long as Jian Huaizhen was there, Jian Huaizhen would be aware of everything, and it would be very difficult for him to get Zhu Jianshen's reuse, so he deliberately said so.
Unexpectedly, his words just entered Zhu Jianshen's heart.
Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly, stared at Gu Lengyi, and said: "Father-in-law Gu, I usually don't reuse you in vain, I don't treat you badly, what you say is really true." Although the eldest princess is now caring for me, if one day my body is not good, she will definitely set up another person as the emperor for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. And the first choice among this royal clan is, of course, Zhu Jianchen. β
As soon as Zhu Jianshen thought of this, his heart felt half tormented by the fire.
If one day he is not in this world, and the emperor is his heir, then he will not feel anything in his heart, but he has no children now, and the only person who is related to the royal family is Zhu Jianchen, and Zhu Jianchen is not his branch.
As soon as he thought that his father's imperial inheritance would be taken away, his heart hurt like a knife.
He looked at Gu Lengyi, his eyes were like burning, and said, "Father-in-law Gu, then what should you do now?" β
Gu Leng lowered his head and thought for a long time, and said to him: "Your Majesty, what else should I do now, now you hurry up and give him Zhu Jianchen before this matter becomes a realityββ"
As he spoke, he made a "click" gesture.
Zhu Jianshen didn't expect Gu Lengyi to be so ruthless, and he could gain insight into his own thoughts.
He thought for a long time before he said, "What you said still makes sense. In that case, I will never let him go so easily. It's just that this Zhu Jianchen hasn't done anything rebellious, if I killed him so easily, the eldest princess would definitely not be so sympathetic to me, after all, he is also a child of the clan. Father-in-law Gu, you can help me think about what to do. β
Gu Lengyi lowered his head and thought about it for a long time.
He didn't come up with a way for a long time, so he had to shake his head and say, "Your Majesty, the old slave really can't think of a way." β
Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but pat the case heavily, and said, "Gu Lengyi, what do you mean by this?" You told me the Tao before, but now when I ask you to figure out a way, you have a lot of prevarication. β
Gu Lengyi hurriedly knelt down and said to him: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old slave is unwilling to think of a way for the emperor, it's really that the old slave is short-sighted and can't think of a way at all." However, the old slave felt that there was someone who could help the emperor. β
"Oh, who?"
Gu Lengyi knew that it was time for him to repay Wan Zhen'er.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to repay Wan Zhen'er at all, he feels that he and Wan Zhen'er are grasshoppers on a rope at all, one is prosperous and the other is lost.
If Wan Zhen'er has any three advantages and two shortcomings, it is not a good thing for him.
So he solemnly said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan has always been resourceful. If she told her about this matter, she would definitely be able to come up with a way for the emperor. β
Zhu Jianshen suddenly heard Gu Lengyi mention Wan Zhen'er, and couldn't help but get angry.
He stroked his sleeve and said to him: "Bastard, if you don't mention that you want to mention Wan Zhen'er alone, can't you do anything without Wan Zhen'er?" Wan Zhen'er actually came up with some bad ideas. β
Gu Lengyi didn't understand why Zhu Jianshen suddenly hated Wan Zhen'er when he mentioned it.
He saw that Zhu Jianshen was obviously very angry, so he pretended to be very scared, and said tremblingly on the ground: "Your Majesty, why do you hate Concubine Wan so much?" I also asked the emperor to tell the old slave, and the old slave could also help the emperor consult. After all, now is a critical juncture, no matter who has done anything before, the emperor still has to blame the past first! β
He thought that Zhu Jianshen was because Wan Zhen'er helped Queen Wang come up with those bad ideas, but he didn't think of anything else.
Zhu Jianshen's face was gloomy, and he said to Gu Lengyi: "Do you think Wan Zhen'er is such a good person? Wan Zhen'er gave me a lot of ideas every time, but every time she came up with bad ideas. If Wan Zhen'er hadn't come up with such a bad idea, I wouldn't have fallen to where I am today. β
After saying that, he suddenly sat down on the table, and the expression on his face became very dark.
Gu Lengyi didn't expect Zhu Jianshen to suddenly become like this.
So, he stepped forward and tried to ask Zhu Jianshen boldly, "Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Why is it the way it is? What do you want the old slave to say, although the old slave doesn't understand anything, but the old slave is older. There are many things that the emperor said to the old slave that the old slave will definitely be able to help the emperor come up with a way to solve it. β
Zhu Jianshen was also entangled in his own affairs at this moment, and now when he heard Gu Lengyi say this, he couldn't help but confide in Gu Lengyi: "Okay." For the sake of your loyalty, I will not hide it from you if you ask me. β
Gu Lengyi knelt on the ground and quietly listened to Zhu Jianshen's words.
Gu Lengyi knew that as long as Zhu Jianshen was willing to share the secrets of his heart with him, then this would indicate that the two of them would reach an alliance from then on.
So he stared with bated breath as he listened.
Zhu Jianshen said the bitterness in his heart to Gu Lengyi, and he said: "Father-in-law Gu, you see that I seem to be a ninety-five honor, as if there is nothing to worry about, but in fact it is not the case, what you see is just a superficial phenomenon. Yes, I am indeed the Ninety-Five, and I have seen the days of fine clothes, fine food, glory and wealth, but what is the use of this? β
Speaking of this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "I only have three years to live. β
Gu Leng heard Zhu Jianshen say this, and was so frightened that he trembled.
He wanted Zhu Jianshen, but in the end he didn't dare to say it.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Father-in-law Gu, get up and listen to me." β
"Yes." Gu Leng replied in a low voice, then stood up and listened to Zhu Jianshen confide in him.
Zhu Jianshen's face was covered with dark clouds, and he said with a very sad expression: "The reason why I want to end up now to the point where I only have three years left is because of Wan Zhen'er, if it wasn't for Wan Zhen'er to give me a bad idea, how could I have ended up where I am today!" β
Gu Lengyi finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I don't know what idea the noble concubine gave to the emperor, so sad that the emperor?" β
Zhu Jianshen said slowly: "Before, it was not easy for me to bring that Tang Jingran into the palace, who knew that Tang Jingran was not obedient to me, and I was very angry because of this matter. So, Wan Zhen'er took the opportunity to give me an idea. Wan Zhen'er said that Shi Liqing knew love Gu, so she asked me to find Shi Liqing, and let me dye love Gu for Na Tang. After the love Gu was settled, Tang Jingran really obeyed me, but Shi Liqing didn't tell me that after I became infected with this kind of love Gu to Tang Jingran, Tang Jingran's life would not last long, and my life would not live for three years. β
When Gu Leng heard Zhu Jianshen say this, he was suddenly frightened and trembled, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Gu Lengyi was frightened into such a way and fell into Zhu Jianshen's eyes.
