Zhu Youzhen's mother is a woman whose name is not recorded.

She was called Liu, born in Hejian Mansion, and was elected to the Prince's East Palace when she was a teenager and became the lady of Zhu Changluo of Mingguangzong.

In December of the 38th year of Wanli, she gave birth to the fifth son Zhu Youzhen for the crown prince Zhu Changluo.

However, as a woman, she did not please Zhu Changluo in the East Palace, and Zhu Changluo had no feelings for her.

When Zhu Youzhen was five years old, Lady Liu died of unknown causes in a hysterical seizure of Zhu Changluo.

The history books recorded: "Lost his ancestry, was sent, and died." ”

In just seven words, it was said very high-soundingly, but in fact, it was Zhu Changluo who beat Liu to death in a rage.

After Liu's death, Zhu Changluo was afraid that his father, Emperor Wanli, would take the opportunity to abolish him, the eye-catching prince, so he was weak-hearted and coerced and lured the eunuchs and palace maids around him, warning them not to leak the news, and only lied to the outside world that Liu died of illness and buried her in Xishan as a palace person.

Later, Zhu Youzhen was named the king of letters in the second year of the Apocalypse because his brother Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, and the Liu family, who died to death, was also posthumously named Concubine Liu Xian by Zhu Youxiao.

However, the sad thing is that although Zhu Youzhen became the prince, due to the unclear death of the Liu family, and the fierce competition between the government and the opposition at this time, he did not dare to publicly sacrifice his mother without authority, so he could only quietly ask the eunuch about the location of his mother's burial.

According to historical records, the thirteen-year-old Zhu Youzhen was arranged by Zhu Youxiao to dominate the Inner Court's Qingong Palace, and he cautiously asked his attendants: "Is there a tomb of King Shenyi in Xishan?" ”

The attendant replied, "Yes." ”

Zhu Youzhen asked again: "Is there a grave of Liu Niangniang?" ”

The attendant replied, "Yes." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen wept and secretly took some money to let the attendants go to the sacrifice for his mother.

He was too young to leave the palace without permission, even if he walked out of the palace later, but he was afraid that he would be impeached by the imperial history for sweeping his mother's tomb, so he could only honestly believe in the palace life.

Things changed, and it wasn't until he was seventeen years old that his brother Zhu Youxiao died childless and passed the throne to him.

It was only at this time that Zhu Youzhen was really able to mourn his mother openly.

He posthumously called his biological mother Liu "filial piety, pure and respectful, Shumu Zhuang Jingbi Tianyu Holy Empress Dowager", moved her out of the humble grave, and buried her with his father Guangzong in Qingling.

This is only a few things in the history books, but for Zhu Youzhen at this moment, he has a deep memory.

Zhu Youzhen's emotions made him extremely angry at the moment, and he couldn't wait to eat the woman in front of him.

But he knew that if he did that, he would be completely ruined of everything about his future.

He is holding the little girl hostage right now, just to get the young man to come out, and that young man is his brother who was also forced to death by the woman in front of him, Zhu Youxiao.

However, at this moment, this sixteen-year-old boy was grabbed by Concubine Li Kang's wrist and did not move.

The strength of a pampered woman is actually not great for a sixteen-year-old boy, and he can break free with a little force.

It's just that what grabbed Zhu Youxiao right now was not his strength, but his fear of Concubine Li Kang since he was a child.

When Zhu Youxiao was young, there were two Li Xuanzhi in the palace of the prince Zhu Changluo, and the two were not related, and the outside world called East Li and West Li.

Concubine Li Kang is the West Li among them, and the East Li is the later Concubine Li Zhuang, the status of the East Li is higher, but the West Li is more favored.

Zhu Youxiao's biological mother was a talented person surnamed Wang, and because she gave birth to Zhu Youxiao, her status in the imperial palace at that time was second only to the crown princess Guo.

After the death of the crown princess Guo, Wang Cairen's mother was more precious than her son, and she became the woman with the highest actual status in the imperial palace.

However, Wang Cairen is not favored like Zhu Youzhen's mother Liu Lady, and Concubine Li Kang is pampered and arrogant, and does not take Wang Cairen in her eyes at all, and often bullies her.

That kind of bullying is trampled on from personality, dignity, and flesh.

She didn't let Zhu Youxiao and Wang Cairen meet, and continued to bully for nearly ten years, until last year, Concubine Li Kang was angry because she didn't have a child of her own, and ordered someone to beat Wang Cairen to death.

But at that time, Emperor Wanli was terminally ill and did not take care of the affairs of the East Palace, and handed it over to Zhu Changluo to manage by himself, and Zhu Changluo did not punish Concubine Li Kang, but asked her to raise Zhu Youxiao.

How ironic is that? For the two brothers, the person who directly and indirectly killed his mother became his nominal mother.

To be respectful and smiling at the revenge of killing his mother every day, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen have suffered from different psychological disorders for a long time.

Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to family affection, is very disgusted with power, and is cowardly and cowardly in the face of Concubine Li Kang, and has no opinions.

Zhu Youzhen is even more compatible with multiple pathological psychology such as pride, inferiority, narcissism, suspicion, and irresponsibility.

What's even more ridiculous is that as an accomplice to the murder of the two mothers, Zhu Changluo, as their father, is a "poor man" who was bullied and killed his mother.

His mother, Concubine Wang Gong, was excluded, oppressed, and bullied by Concubine Zheng Guifei.

She was confined in Jingyang Palace, unable to see her son for ten years, thinking of her face with tears, crying blind, and only seeing Zhu Changluo before she died.

People say don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself, but Zhu Changluo let his two sons experience the pain he once experienced......

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Youxiao, who was suffering the same as himself more than a dozen steps away, and was anxious.

He understood that Concubine Li Kang wanted to hold Zhu Youxiao hostage in a vain attempt to take charge of the dynasty.

Historically, she dragged on for six days before she was coerced by Yang Lian, Liu Yixian and others to let Zhu Youxiao walk out of the Qianqing Palace.

This is known in history as the palace removal case, and it is also an incident that made the reputation of the Donglin Party soar.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want this to happen, so what he could do was to do it all over again according to what Yang Lian and others had done in history, and at the same time rescue Zhu Youxiao, so that no party would have the opportunity to increase his prestige.

It's just that right now, seeing Zhu Youxiao's stagnant appearance, he is really anxious.

In his eagerness, he could only shout loudly: "Brother Huang, have you forgotten how Wang Niangniang died?!" ”

In a word, like thunder, woke up Zhu Youxiao, who was stagnant and afraid of Concubine Li Kang.

That's right......

My father has died, I am the grandson of my grandfather, and the current crown prince, I will be the emperor soon, why should I be afraid of her?

Her own brother dares to hold her daughter hostage, isn't she as good as her ten-year-old brother?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly broke away from Concubine Li Kang's hand and strode towards Zhu Youzhen.

"Stop! Stop him for me! Concubine Li Kang shouted angrily, and the eunuchs and palace maids around her were eager to try.

"I see who dares!" Zhu Youzhen pressed a file against the little girl's neck, scaring off everyone who wanted to come forward, but whispered:

"Don't be afraid, Brother Huang won't hurt you, we're just playing at home."

"Hmm......" The little girl nodded quietly when she heard Zhu Youzhen's words, and Zhu Youzhen was a little bolder when she saw this.

At present, this trick is used by the great eunuch Wang An in history to deal with Concubine Li Kang and force Concubine Li Kang to release Zhu Youxiao, and now, it is used by Zhu Youzhen, and the effect is still the same.

Zhu Youxiao walked to Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to relax, and after he walked to his side, he grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and walked towards the outside of the Qianqing Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs around didn't dare to chase too closely, so they could only watch the two brothers walk out of the palace.

At the same time that the two brothers stepped out of the threshold of the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Li Kang seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the ground, her face pale and trembling.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the back of Zhu Youzhen, who was holding his wrist with one hand and holding the little girl's back with the other, and his heart warmed......
