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

She was called Mrs. Liu and was born in Hejian Prefecture. When she was young, she was elected to the Prince's East Palace and became a lady of Zhu Changluo, Mingguang Zong.

In December of the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, she gave birth to her fifth son, Zhu Youjian, to 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 Youjian was five years old, Liu Shunv died of unknown reasons during a hysterical attack by Zhu Changluo.

Historical records record: "He lost his sect and was sent to die."

Just eight words, it was very high-sounding, but in fact, it was Zhu Changluo who beat Mr. Liu to death in a rage.

After Mrs. Liu's death, Zhu Changluo was afraid that his father, Emperor Wanli, would take the opportunity to depose him as an unsightly prince. Therefore, with a guilty conscience, he coerced and lured the eunuchs and maids around him, warning them not to leak the news, and only lied to the outside world that Mrs. Liu was

If she died of illness, she would be buried in Xishan as a palace servant.

Later, Zhu Youjian ascended the throne because of his elder brother Zhu Youxiao, and was named King Xin in the second year of Tianqi. The Liu family who died was also posthumously named Concubine Liu Xian by Zhu Youxiao.

However, the sad thing is that although Zhu Youjian became a prince, due to the unclear death of Mrs. Liu and the fierce fighting between the ruling and opposition parties at this time, he did not dare to publicly worship his mother without the authority, so he could only quietly ask the eunuch

Find out where my mother is buried.

According to historical records, the thirteen-year-old Zhu Youjian was arranged by Zhu Youxiao to rule the Xuqin Palace in the inner court. He cautiously asked his attendants: "Is there the tomb of King Shen Yi in Xishan?"

The attendant replied: "Yes."

Zhu Youjian asked again: "Is there the grave of Lady Liu nearby?"

The attendant replied: "Yes."

Hearing this, Zhu Youjian shed tears and secretly took some money to ask his attendants to sacrifice for his mother.

He was too young to leave the palace without permission. Even if he left the palace later, he was afraid of being impeached by the censor for visiting his mother's grave, so he could only live in the palace honestly.

Things changed until he was seventeen years old, when his elder brother Zhu Youxiao died young without any children, and the throne was passed to him.

It was only then that Zhu Youjian was able to mourn his mother openly and openly.

He posthumously named his biological mother Liu as "The Empress Dowager of Xiaochungongyishumuzhuangjingpitianyusheng", moved her out of the simple tomb, and buried her in the Qingling Mausoleum together with her father Guangzong.

This is just a few things in the history books, but it is deeply remembered by Zhu Youjian at this moment.

Zhu Youjian's past emotions made him extremely angry at the moment, and he wanted to eat the woman in front of him.

But he knew that if he did this, he would completely ruin his future.

He is holding the little girl hostage just to get the boy to come out, and that boy is none other than his brother, Zhu Youxiao, whose mother was forced to death by the woman in front of him.

However, at this moment, this sixteen-year-old boy was tightly grabbed by the wrist by Concubine Li Kang, unable to move even a step.

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

It's just that what grabs Zhu Youxiao right now is not his strength, but his fear of Concubine Li Kang since childhood.

When Zhu Youxiao was young, there were two Li Xuanshis in the palace of the then crown prince Zhu Changluo. The two were not related, and outsiders called them Dong Li and Xili.

Concubine Li Kang was the West Li among them, while Dong Li was the later Concubine Li Zhuang. Dong Li had a higher status, but West Li was more favored.

Zhu Youxiao's biological mother was a talented person named Wang. Because she was the only one left with Zhu Youxiao, her status in the crown prince's uterus was second only to that of Crown Princess Guo.

After Crown Princess Guo died of illness, Wang Cai's mother regarded her son as the most precious and became the woman with the highest actual status in the crown prince's womb.

However, Wang Cairen was not favored like Zhu Youjian's mother Liu Shunu, but Concubine Li Kang was so arrogant that she did not take Wang Cairen seriously and often bullied her.

That kind of bullying is based on personality, dignity, and physical trampling.

She did not allow Zhu Youxiao and Wang Cairen to meet, and continued to humiliate him for nearly ten years. Until last year, Li Kangfei became angry because she did not have a child of her own, and ordered people to beat and humiliate Wang Cairen to death.

However, Emperor Wanli was already terminally ill at that time and did not take care of the affairs of the East Palace, leaving it to Zhu Changluo to manage it himself. However, Zhu Changluo did not punish Li Kangfei in any way and instead asked her to raise Zhu Youxiao.

What a great irony is this? For the two brothers, the person who killed their mother directly or indirectly became their nominal mother.

They had to treat their mother-killer with respect and smile every day. Over time, both Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian suffered from different mental illnesses.

Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to family ties and hates power. When facing Concubine Li Kang, he is timid and has no independent opinion.

Zhu Youjian is even more compatible with multiple pathological psychology such as pride, inferiority, narcissism, suspicion, and no sense of responsibility.

What is even more ridiculous is that as the accomplice who killed their mothers, Zhu Changluo, their father, was himself a "poor man" who was bullied and killed his mother.

His mother, Concubine Wang Gong, was ostracized, oppressed, and humiliated by Concubine Zheng.

She was imprisoned in Jingyang Palace and could not see her son for ten years. She missed him so much that she shed tears and went blind with tears. She only saw Zhu Changluo before she died.

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

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Youxiao, who was in the same situation as himself, more than a dozen steps away, feeling anxious.

He understood that Concubine Li Kang wanted to hold Zhu Youxiao hostage in an attempt to take control of the court.

Historically, it took her six days to let Zhu Youxiao out of the Qianqing Palace under the coercion of Yang Lian, Liu Yishen and others.

This was known as the palace transfer case in history, and it was also an incident that greatly increased the reputation of the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youjian did not want this to happen, so what he could do was to do it again according to what Yang Lian and others had done in history, and while rescuing Zhu Youxiao, he did not give any party a chance to increase its reputation.

But right now, seeing Zhu Youxiao standing still, he was really worried.

In desperation, he could only shout loudly: "Brother Emperor, have you forgotten how the Queen Mother died?!"

One sentence, like a thunder, woke up Zhu Youxiao who had stopped moving forward and was afraid of Concubine Li Kang.

yes……

His father has passed away. He is the grandson of his grandfather. The current crown prince is the prince, and he will soon be the emperor. Why should he be afraid of her?

Her younger brother dared to hold her daughter hostage. Am I not as good as her ten-year-old younger brother?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly broke away from Li Kangfei's hand and strode towards Zhu Youjian.

"Stop! Stop him!" Li Kangfei shouted angrily, and the eunuchs and maids around her were eager to try.

"Let's see who dares!" Zhu Youjian pressed the file against the little girl's neck, scaring away everyone who wanted to come forward, but whispered:

"Don't be afraid, Huiyao. Brother Huang will not hurt you. We are just playing house."

"Well..." The little girl nodded softly when she heard Zhu Youjian's words, and Zhu Youjian became bolder when he saw this.

The current trick was used by the great eunuch Wang An in history to deal with Li Kangfei and force Li Kangfei to release Zhu Youxiao. Now, it is used by Zhu Youjian, and the effect is still the same.

Zhu Youxiao walked towards Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian did not dare to relax. After he came to his side, he grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and walked towards the outside of Qianqing Palace.

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to pursue him too closely, and could only watch the two brothers walking out of the palace helplessly.

When the two brothers stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, Concubine Li seemed to have lost all her strength and fell to the ground, her face pale and her whole body trembling.
