But I heard Queen Duan say: "When did you find out?" ”

The prince said: "My son is stupid, and it wasn't until you were in charge of the fifth brother's mansion that you had a little guess. If you think back to the events of that day, where is there anything that is not clear? ”

Speaking of this, he choked up, unable to continue: "When my father was angry for a while, he did something to the fourth child, and you pushed the boat down the river, assuming that you knew that your father's life was not long, so that she urged your father and our children to maintain health and well-being. ”

Queen Duan smiled instead: "You kid, you live too transparently." ”

She was especially laughing, but the prince's heart was like a knife: "It's ridiculous that I was so stupid that I didn't even realize it, until you and my father were angry about the disposal of those people in the Fifth Brother's Mansion, I didn't react, if I didn't know that my father would let the palace concubine be buried after a hundred years, how could you say in anger that 'If you die in front of me, will you also strangle me with a rope'!" ”

Queen Duan burst into tears when she heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Your father, this person is too murderous, I didn't know in my previous life, but since I know it in this life, how can I watch him make such a killing?" ”

"In the end, I am also selfish, I know that the palace concubines want to fight for a future for their children, so there are frequent small actions in private, I can actually control them, but I don't."

She said with tears in her eyes: "Since beating King Qin and King Wei, your father has almost never set up eyes and ears in the harem, there are many women in this place, it is inconvenient, and he also believes me." I've never done anything in my life that I can't live with him, just this one ......."

"As Brother Wen said, the royal family has produced too many brutal and lawless clansmen, and has killed countless people, but your father, if he knew that King Yin was not taken away by the demons, he was indeed his own son, and he would have kept him no matter what."

"Shangshu" says: The Son of Heaven is the parent of the people, and he thinks that he is the king of the world. And the queen is not only the spouse of the Son of Heaven, but also the mother of the people of the world, so how can the people she loves be limited to one family name? ”

Empress Duan reluctantly sat up straight and asked her son, "Is it a good thing to die an unscrupulous King Yin and make many clans wake up?" ”

The crown prince nodded with tears in his eyes: "Yes." ”

"I just feel sorry for your dad."

Empress Duan lay back heavily, gasping a little tightly, but her eyes flashed: "However, I heard that my nickname in my last life was Empress Xiaoci...... This should indeed be what Empress Xiaoci should do. ”

Chapter 180

As a queen, or simply as a person, Empress Duan would not regret the choice she made, but at the same time, she could not restrain the guilt she felt for her husband.

In particular, she knew that a large part of the reason why she was able to do this smoothly was because her husband trusted her enough.

This undoubtedly further deepened the torment in her heart.

The crown prince held his mother's hand and gently persuaded: "Mother, why do you torture yourself for something that cannot be changed? In the matter of King Yin, you are out of public intentions, not personal anger, and you really don't need to be so guilty and blame yourself. As for Daddy......"

He lowered his voice slightly: "Honestly, you are bedridden now, who will worry the most?" Compared to King Yin, Dad will only want you to be safe and sound. ”

Empress Duan sighed and said, "Of course I know that if I tell him about this matter, he will only say words of relief in order to dispel my concerns, just as I know that even if he does this, he will still feel uneasy in his heart." The things of the world are both difficult and difficult, even if you are in heaven, how can you disobey them! ”

Zhu Di also understands her thoughts, to put it delicately - this is called too much moral pressure, the bottom line of character is too high, although she knows that what she is doing is good and right, as long as she doesn't keep quiet, no one will know, but she can't pass her own level.

And thinking about it from another angle, why not because the feelings for her husband are too deep?

That's why I feel guilty because of this deception, and I even feel sick and worried.

Alas.

He sighed in his heart: You can't hide your love for someone.

Then he heard a "bang", and the curtain where he was hiding was torn open from the outside, and then the prince carried him out with one hand by the collar around his neck.

Zhu Di: "Huh? Daddy Daddy! Put me down! ”

Empress Duan coughed and looked over here: "Brother Ying'er, why are you here?" ”

Zhu Di smiled awkwardly.

The prince looked at him with a straight face: "What did you hear?" ”

Zhu Di said 1510: "What my father doesn't want people to hear, I have heard." ”

The prince raised his hand to fight, but Zhu Di ran to Queen Duan's side with a smoke: "Imperial grandmother, look at him!" ”

Empress Duan stretched out her arms to protect him: "If you have something to say, what do you do to scare him?" ”

The prince snorted coldly: "At a young age, he sneaked into the palace to eavesdrop on people, and he should be beaten!" ”

Queen Duan said: "Isn't he for the good of you and me?" ”

Speaking of this, she reacted and said with a wry smile: "Okay, you two fathers and sons are of the same heart, come here to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, and use my words to calm my heart!" ”

Zhu Di laughed twice, and then persuaded Zhengse: "The imperial grandmother just did what she had to do, why should she have the idea of abandoning the world?" I feel sorry for the emperor's grandfather, so I want him to lose his wife who has been with him for many years? Is this reasonable? Don't you think this is a double blow to the royal grandfather? ”

Empress Duan was thoughtful.

The prince came over with a medicine bowl, and Zhu Di received a diligent feed to her in his hand.

Empress Duan lowered her head and said a few words, her expression faintly loosening.

But the eldest grandson continued: "You also know the temper of the emperor's grandfather, and you can persuade my father in the world, but if you leave, my father will not be able to support it alone, what should I do after that?" You have to eat well, cultivate your body well, and strive to walk behind the emperor's grandfather, and you have to survive him......"

Empress Duan choked on a mouthful of decoction in her throat.

The prince frowned, raised a kick and kicked his son's buttocks: "What nonsense! ”

Zhu Di rubbed his ass and jumped to the side: "Let's talk about it, Dad, you ask yourself, which of the imperial grandfather or the imperial grandmother is one step ahead, and the remaining one is more difficult?" ”

Queen Duan: "......"

Prince: "......"

The prince wanted to give him another kick.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you say this casually?" ”

Zhu Di shrugged: "It's not good to tell the truth, Dad, Imperial Grandmother, you two should think about it again!" With that, he slipped out briskly.

Empress Duan and the crown prince glanced at each other, their expressions were a little complicated, and after a few moments, they all laughed dumbly.

……

What Zhu Di said in the palace was indeed bold, but it was indeed useful for Queen Duan.

She was suffering from a heart attack, and after her worries were dispelled, she took medication on time and recovered quickly.

The emperor may know where his wife's lesion is, or maybe he doesn't know, Zhu Di didn't pay too much attention to it, and the affairs of the husband and wife should be left to the two of them to handle it themselves!

The Yan Wang couple had gone to sea in June of the previous year, had been adrift for two years, and did not return to Beijing until the autumn of the third year.

Of course, they didn't just bring people back, spices, wood, precious stones, and even all kinds of rare things that could only be found abroad, and the most shocking thing for the emperor was that King Yan claimed to have found a unicorn overseas!

And have already brought it back!

Emperor: (?⊙ω⊙')!

Wow!

Kirin belch!

Although he had not yet received the real thing, he was busy drawing cakes with the people around him: "In a few days, the fourth child will be back, and when the time comes, you will also go, and see what the legendary unicorn looks like!" ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Help, toes are starting to pick at the ground!

The damage in the space is still being exported.

Li Shimin copied his hand and said, "Yo, Qilin, can't you set up a special banquet to celebrate?" ”

Li Yuanda clipped his hand and said: "Yo, Qilin, this must not be announced to the world, so that everyone knows?" ”

Liu Che copied his hand and said, "Yo, Qilin...... Anyway, are you unicorns serious? ”

Ying Zheng: "I don't know if it's serious or not, it's okay to draw it and make future generations smile." ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Help, save me, save me, who's going to save me!

Why is it that someone else is the one who makes everything wrong, but I am the one who suffers the embarrassment!

The point is that he can't debunk this hoax yet (?) - How did the imperial grandson know that this was not a unicorn?

Zhu Di completed the whole ceremony with a wooden face, and King Yan, whose face had darkened a lot after wandering on the sea for a long time, was a little strange: "What's wrong with Brother Ying, I don't feel like I have to talk much!" ”

Princess Yan smiled: "Don't you see that children like unicorns?" Line up and see, Brother Ying is the eldest grandson, why don't you set an example? And he is getting older, and for the sake of the overall situation, I am afraid that it will not be easy for people to think that the imperial grandson likes these rare things. ”

pasted a body of gold for Zhu Di.

When King Yan heard this, he sighed with emotion: "When he left, he was still young, but in a blink of an eye, he was actually an adult, and he had the style of a big brother back then!" ”

Then he quietly prepared a surprise for his nephew, held it in his hand a few days later, and sent it over with a mysterious expression: "Open it and take a look." ”

Zhu Di: "? ”

What's that?

He unfolded it and looked—

Why do you want to make a picture of me holding a giraffe!!

Liu Chele was happy: "I'm so careful, I'm afraid that future generations won't recognize it, and I also marked the name of the emperor's grandson Huang Fuying at the bottom!" ”

Zhu Di: "......"

King Yan patted his nephew's shoulder triumphantly: "Look at your happiness, no thanks!" The original has been kept on file, this is a copy, you can keep it yourself. ”

After saying that, he didn't even give his nephew a chance to thank him, and left with a deep sense of satisfaction.

Zhu Di: "......"

Li Shimin: "Later generations: The grandson of the Ming Emperor has been fooled!" ”

Li Yuanda: "Later generations: The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty mistakenly took the giraffe for a unicorn!" ”

Liu Che: "Later generations: Emperor Ming is really stupid and cute!" ”

Ying Zheng: "Later generations: the Ming Emperor and the Qilin ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang could only raise his hand to hide his face.

Zhu Di was furious: "Shut up, is this what a serious emperor can say?!" ”

There was a burst of laughter, and the space was filled with cheerfulness.

In the second year after the Yan Wang couple returned to Beijing, the Zhou Shu people went north and turned back, but the Yan Wang couple did not stay in Beijing for too long - the eagle that had soared could not adapt to a comfortable life.

In the spring of the following year, they went south to Fujian again, and in the early summer of that year, they set sail.

In this year, the Jingshi did not undergo too drastic changes, but when later generations studied this period of history, they will find that many political strategies for continuing the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty were formulated precisely during this period of time.
