Chapter 872 - You can't break your original promise
Seeing Zhu Changluo go away, when he was far away, Zhu Xuanyu turned around and looked at Zheng Qingyuan beside him and said, "Auntie, you really have a way, just send him away in a few words." ”
"Who let him do whatever it takes to get the throne, his biological mother is still alive but still wants to be named to the queen," Zheng Qingyuan said with a disdainful face, "I'm afraid that this girl will disrupt his plan to be a concubine, and his weakness is in the hands of this girl, so naturally he doesn't dare to disobey this girl!" ”
"But didn't you offend him like this, what if he retaliated against you in the future?" Jiang Shu was a little worried about this.
"My sister is the most favored concubine today, he dares to ——!" Zheng Qingyuan's pretty little face raised disappreciatively.
"That's just as well." Jiang Shu thought about it, and felt that the current emperor Zhu Yijun still had the idea of changing the crown prince, and this Zhu Changluo's position as the prince was maintained by the ministers, he was not stupid, and he really would not do such a self-destructive thing when his foundation was not yet solid.
"Okay, let's go," After the two finished speaking, Zhu Xuanyu next to him looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, it's late, it's going to be dark." ”
"Okay." Jiang Shu nodded lightly, and with her and Zheng Qingyuan, he turned north to the nearby gravel path.
The three of them walked through the Imperial Garden, passed the Shunzhen Gate, went out of the palace through the Shenwu Gate, and then passed through the two small gates of the North Gate and the Banzai Gate, and they arrived at the southern foot of Jingshan Mountain, which belongs to the Imperial Garden area.
To the west of Jingshan, there is a majestic palace, Jiang Shu thought for a while, and then thought that it was the night of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet more than half a year ago, Zhu Changxun pointed out to her on the corner tower in the northwest corner of the palace to show her the Great Gaoxuan Palace.
Afterwards, she heard Ping Qian mention it, saying that in the early years, when Zhu Changxun was not born, the current emperor Zhu Yijun made an oath with Zheng Guifei in it, and he would canonize her son as the crown prince in the future.
The rice paper with the oath written on it and the jade seal was put into a brocade box and placed on the beam of the Great High Xuan Palace.
Later, Zhu Changxun was born, and the ministers were afraid that the matter of establishing the prince would change, so they kept urging Zhu Yijun to establish Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, as the crown prince in accordance with the ancestral system of "having a grandson and establishing a long-term heir".
Zhu Yijun disagreed, and it dragged on for many years, until seven years ago, when Shen Li, who was then the deputy assistant of the cabinet, and the ministers repeatedly put pressure on him, he said the matter of the oath, saying that the king had no jokes and could not violate the original promise.
The princes did not believe it, and they demanded that he bring out the oath.
Zhu Yijun had no choice but to order his most trusted celebrant Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge of the seal and the governor of Dongchang, to pick it up, but after taking it, he found that the oath had been moth-eaten and did not look good, and there was not even an important word left.
Although it was not certain at the time that the oath had become like that it was simply moth-eaten and artificially destroyed, almost all of them believed that it was providence and made him conform to it.
Zhu Yijun was forced to reluctantly make Zhu Changluo the crown prince.
It's just that in the past few years since the prince was canonized, he has never broken the idea of changing the crown prince.
It is precisely because of this that Zhu Changxun has been kept in the capital, and he has not been allowed to go to the fief to become a vassal......
Zhu Xuanyu and Zheng Qingyuan were not interested in the big Gaoxuan Palace, so they didn't go around to look at it, but turned to the east, preparing to take Jiang Shu up the mountain along the stone steps over there.
