Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, several beloved concubines cast surprised looks.
Qianxue asked curiously: "Husband, do you want to deny the legitimacy of Dayuan as the Central Plains dynasty?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, although our Emperor Taizu loves Dayuan to death, I have to be an unworthy descendant and set things right for him.
Why should the dignified citizens become untouchables under the rule of Hu Lu? It's shameful that Taizu still took pleasure in this, it makes me feel ashamed just thinking about it.
Look at what Taizu said: Although the Yuan Dynasty was barbaric, it took over China. Within a hundred years, the population will be large, the family will have enough people, and my grandfather will also enjoy peace.
I am a farmer, happy to be born in the Yuan Dynasty.
I, the king of the Song Dynasty in China, was extravagant and idle, his traitorous ministers disrupted the government, and the Heavenly Supervisor was not virtuous. Therefore, I ordered the founder of the Yuan Dynasty to establish Shuomo and rule China, so that the people could live in peace for more than seventy years.
Listen, are these what people say? "
When several beloved concubines heard this, they all shook their heads and were speechless.
Zhu Qiyu added: "In order to prevent the people from rebelling like him, Taizu was obsessed. He insisted on worshiping the Yuan Dynasty as the Zhengshuo of China, and then judged that all the rebels who raised armies at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were rebels except Taizu.
As a result, the old and young people of the Yuan Dynasty did not agree with the Ming Dynasty, and the gentry in the south did not agree with the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the two sides were not human beings.
Now the world is in my hands, and I have to choose a side. Not just for the Zhu family's own selfish reasons, I want to stand up for the Han people. Damn the noble Grandpa Meng, why should he be riding on the Han people's heads and domineering? I would be merciful enough if I didn't destroy the family. "
Qianxue suddenly realized: "I have finally figured it out. No wonder my husband's behavior is always absurd. It turns out that my husband has regarded himself as the emperor of the Han Dynasty from the beginning. As a result, he is incompatible with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Hey, I am really helpless. Now I have to completely defeat Sanyang and deny the national policy formulated by Xuanzong.
Taizu was selfish, at least for the Zhu family. Our Emperor Xuanmiao became selfish, purely for his own pleasure and did not care about the interests of his descendants.
The most ridiculous thing is that Li and Li were confused by these weird monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty. They led the people of Jiaozhi to rebel just out of helplessness, and the officials forced the people to rebel.
As a result, Emperor Xuanmiao and Sanyang cried and shouted to force others to become the king of Cochin, and they were even more active than Le Li himself. Such a traitor is truly breathtaking.
I am really not convinced that a person like Xuan Miao is still regarded as a wise and wise king. "
Several beloved concubines shook their heads and sighed, but it was not easy to speak ill of Xuanzong directly.
Ningxiang suddenly interjected: "Husband, why don't you start your own line and become your own ancestor?"
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "Is this the Ming Saint Ancestor? Thanks to my wife's love, you are more imaginative than me. Okay, send out all the orders. It's getting dark. Let's finish our meal quickly so we can get into bed early." "
…
A night of silence.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Qizhen listened to Chen Xiang's political report.
Chen Xiang only spoke a few words before Zhu Qizhen realized something was wrong.
It was normal for the second prince to be granted the title of King Xiu, but it was rather puzzling for the Jin Dynasty to grant Wan Chen the title of imperial concubine.
How can the position of imperial concubine be granted lightly? Just because Concubine Wan Chen lost her two sons, she would give her comfort as an imperial concubine?
Zhu Qizhen sneered: "My brother wants the Qian family, the Zhou family, and the Wan family to form a three-legged alliance and fight endlessly in the harem.
At first glance, it was the work of his younger brother's favorite concubines. They didn't want to be queens themselves, but they always wanted to instigate other women to fight for the position of queen. "
Chen Xiang asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to remind the three empresses?"
Zhu Qizhen asked angrily: "How do I remind you? Haven't you heard the allusion of two peaches killing three men? This is a conspiracy. Those three stupid women can't solve it no matter what. They can only follow my brother's wishes. Engage in internal fighting.
You make some arrangements and be sure to protect the prince. Now he is my only son and there must be no room for failure.
In addition, after the funeral, more arrangements will be made for Wan to attend the funeral. I want to have another son as soon as possible.
My younger brother is bound to have more and more sons. I only have one son, which is really a disadvantage. "
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen asked unconfidently: "I used to think that the Forbidden City was the best place to live in the world, but now I am a little unsure.
You said that when my brother lived in Prince Xin's Mansion, his fertility was about the same as mine.
But once he moved to the ravines in the western suburbs, why did he suddenly become so fertile? He had a total of fifteen concubines, and twelve of them became pregnant within a year. It is said that it was because the remaining three concubines were not in a hurry to have children.
I can't understand these women. My women are all crying and wanting to be the first to have children. My brother's women also have several women who are not in a hurry at all. It's really weird. "
Chen Xiang replied: "Maybe the water and soil of Yuquan Mountain support people. The water that the palace drinks is also fetched from Yuquan Mountain and transported back in wooden barrels.
The emperor directly guarded the spring to draw water.
The emperor, the queen, and the concubines only drank the water from the jade spring, but the emperor and his beloved concubines even bathed and washed themselves.
There are also hot springs on Yuquan Mountain, which are said to be extremely beneficial to the body.
The most important thing is that the emperor always emphasizes equality, and the status and treatment of the beloved concubines are exactly the same. They all grew up together and have deep feelings, so naturally there is nothing to argue with. "
Zhu Qizhen sighed heavily after hearing this: "My father doesn't know what he thinks. Except for the Hu family and his mother, all the concubines in the harem can't even give birth to a daughter. This shows how unbearable the fighting in the harem is." It was so difficult that he just endured it.
Look at my younger brother, he really understands his own backyard.
To be honest, when it comes to women, I sincerely admire my brother. "
Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Yesterday, the emperor also issued an edict to confer the imperial concubine of Xuanmiao as the imperial concubine, and her posthumous title was changed from Zhen'ai to Zhenxian."
Zhu Qizhen asked curiously: "Xuanmiao imperial concubine? I remember that the women who died for the emperor's father were all posthumously made concubines. Why did another concubine appear?
The younger brother is in good condition, so why should he be granted the title after her?
Zhen Ai, Zhen Xian, what does the word "Xian" mean? "
Chen Xiang replied: "The word Xian is said to be wise and wise. Xuanmiao once praised the imperial concubine as being virtuous and well-educated, so she deserves the word 'Xian'."
Chen Xiang studied in the inner study hall of the Si Li Prison, and the inner study hall invited great scholars from the Hanlin Academy to teach the eunuchs, so Chen Xiang could also write a few sentences.
Zhu Qizhen asked impatiently: "I'm not asking you this, I'm asking my brother why he suddenly changed the good mourning for others to the dedication?
Could he be insinuating something? "
Chen Xiang quickly replied: "This imperial concubine was outstanding in learning. In March of the third year of Xuande, she was specially summoned to the palace by the Xuande Temple. She was seriously ill before entering the palace, and she died just twenty days after entering the palace. .
At that time, the emperor was born less than half a year ago, so he didn't have a deep impression on him. I have seen the slaves who served around Xuan Temple back then. "
Zhu Qizhen was even more puzzled: "This empress was already seriously ill before she entered the palace, so my father wanted to summon her to the palace? Is it just because she is talented?"
Chen Xiang nodded very confidently: "That's true. The imperial concubine even hugged the emperor. But the empress was seriously ill at the time and was always sad, so she started crying as soon as she hugged the emperor, which made the emperor cry too.
The Queen Mother was displeased and quickly ordered someone to take the emperor away, and ordered that the imperial concubine should not be allowed to approach the emperor again. A few days later, the imperial concubine died of illness.
The slave girl remembers it very clearly because the Queen Mother was officially enthroned as Queen on the first day of March, and the Imperial Concubine entered the palace on the same day. On March 20th, the Imperial Concubine died of illness.
Before entering the palace, the imperial concubine also wrote a poem called "Being in mourning after illness in Jingdi". The poem said: There are many shortcomings, but they are not enough. Life is like a dream, death is like a dream. I am ashamed to have lost my filial piety by returning home first. If your heart is desolate and you can't help it, then you can mourn. "
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen became completely suspicious: "Are you trying to say that the Queen Mother secretly took the palace man's son as her own son, and that the palace man was the imperial concubine?"
When Chen Xiang heard this, he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't say anything."
"Get up, get up, let's get down to business. What is the origin of this imperial concubine?"
Chen Xiang returned: "The imperial concubine is the granddaughter of Weixiang Gong, the daughter of Guo Qi, and the sister of Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng. She originally lived in Fengyang. After Renmiao ascended the throne, Guo Qi's family was summoned to the capital."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said to himself: "Oh, Guo Deng and my uncle are in-laws, and the two families have a close relationship. If the imperial concubine really gave birth secretly, it would be reasonable to count it in the name of the queen.
No wonder when I was outside Datong City, Guo Deng was determined to send elite soldiers to risk their lives to rescue me.
I mistakenly thought that the civil and military officials in Shanxi wanted to harm me, and I could not believe anyone at that time. Now that I think about it, if I am really born to the imperial concubine and Guo Deng is my biological uncle, then it would make sense. "
Chen Xiang's eyes widened and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: His prince entered the state too quickly, didn't he believe me before I even started cheating? Just take the initiative to convince yourself?
Zhu Qizhen had long been dubious about the rumors, but now he believed half or six of them, so he asked: "The Marquis of Huichang and his uncle must know about this matter. What did the Marquis of Huichang say in his testimony? Please tell the truth."
