The emperor stuttered a little and didn't speak much. When he saw Shang Ming running over and crying for no reason, he asked briefly and concisely: "Why?"
Shang Ming raised his head and said: "So that the emperor will know that Wang Zhi from the West Factory forced his way into the East Factory's prison to visit Fang Yingwu, and claimed to deal with the slaves. With his protection, how can the slaves survive the trial?"
The emperor wondered: "What does Wang Zhi want to do?"
Shang Ming replied: "I don't know, and I don't dare to ask! I just heard that in just a few days, this is the fourth time that Wang Zhi has been in prison for Fang Yingwu. The first time was when he was robbing someone in Fusi, Jinyiwei Town. , twice in the West Factory and once in the East Factory, I dare not tell any lies."
The emperor looked displeased and couldn't help but frown.
Shang Ming secretly observed the words and was considering the words and was about to deliver a few more words when he saw a young eunuch from the Zhaode Palace trotting over from a distance, threw himself in front of the emperor, and said: "See you, Your Majesty! The noble concubine is so angry." I couldn't stop crying, and boldly asked the emperor to take a look!"
There is currently only one noble concubine in the palace, and that is the most favored Concubine Wan Gui Wan Zhen'er. As for the queen, she can be ignored. Speaking of Concubine Wan Gui, she is also a strange person of the generation. She is the hometown of the grandson empress of Xuanzong (Zhu Jianshen's grandmother). He entered the palace at the age of four and grew up beside Empress Sun.
According to the normal trajectory, Wan Zhen'er was probably going to be given to Emperor Yingzong (Zhu Jianshen's father) as a concubine. Who knew that history would take a turn in Tumubao. At that time, Emperor Yingzong was hunting in the north, and the Queen Mother Sun wanted to take care of her lonely grandson Zhu Jianshen. , then assigned Wan Zhen'er to serve as a palace maid next to Zhu Jianshen, who was two or three years old at the time.
At that time, no one expected that Wan and Zhu Jianshen would be in a relationship ten years later. Although Wan Zhen'er was seventeen years older than Zhu Jianshen, this pair was indeed extremely special in the eyes of the world, and even more bizarre in the eyes of ministers. and deformity. What’s even more incredible is that now twenty years have passed, and even the beauty has aged, but Zhu Jianshen’s feelings for Concubine Wan Guishen are still extremely deep.
There are three thousand beauties in the palace, but no one can successfully challenge the status of Concubine Wan Gui, who is already fifty years old, not even the queen. Seventeen years ago, Empress Wu beat up Concubine Wan Gui, and she was immediately replaced. Lessons from the past Who dares not to remember it? Therefore, Zhaode Palace, where Concubine Wan Gui lived, is still the most eye-catching place in the entire harem.
Without further ado, Zhu Jianshen immediately stood up from the throne when he heard Concubine Wan Gui was angry and cried. He hurriedly asked: "How can you cry? Who dares to make Concubine Wan so angry?"
"Today, the prince was ordered to greet Zhaode Palace. The imperial concubine gave the prince food and drink. The prince refused, saying that he was afraid of poison. Then the imperial concubine was so angry that she burst into tears."
Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but sigh. There was really no trust between Concubine Wan Guifei and Prince Zhu Youtang, which was very sad. In fact, the prince went to Zhaode Palace today to say hello. It was Zhu Jianshen who asked the prince to go. He wanted to promote The two were in harmony, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.
It is said that Concubine Wan Gui was very jealous in her early years and gave birth to a son who died young. From then on, the palace had no children for several years. Therefore, it is said that this was the result of Concubine Wan Gui secretly causing trouble.
The current crown prince Zhu Youtang was the product of an accidental encounter between the emperor and a palace maid. Because he was afraid of being killed by Concubine Wan Gui, he kept him in the palace for five years without telling Concubine Wan Gui. It was not until the eleventh year of Chenghua that father and son were able to recognize each other. At the same time, Zhu Youtang was appointed as the crown prince of the East Palace.
Then, probably because she was worried that the prince would be assassinated, the Empress Dowager Zhou, the biological mother of the emperor, took her grandson Zhu Youtang to her side and took care of her in person, which continues to this day. There are also rumors in the palace that the reason why the biological mother of the emperor died suddenly after the father and son recognized each other
His death was also caused by Concubine Wan Gui.
With such a life experience and living in a palace full of intrigues, it is easy to imagine how deep the gap between Prince Zhu Youtang of the East Palace and Concubine Wan Guifei of Zhaode Palace was. Emperor Chenghua wanted to be a good person in the middle. But it was also true.
Difficult to resolve.
The young eunuch who came to report the news asked for instructions: "Do you want to drive to Zhaode Palace?" Zhu Jianshen reluctantly ordered: "Go to the Chief Wan! Call the East Palace too!" He then said to Shang Ming who was still beside him: "You
I know what you said."
Shang Ming had no choice but to retreat, while the other eunuchs and maids around him were busy for a while. At this time, another eunuch suddenly ran over from a distance, and everyone could see clearly. This person was the eunuch who served Queen Mother Zhou.
But he saw the eunuch kowtowing at the emperor's feet and said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Mother has asked your slave to deliver a message! Today, the Holy Mother has given instructions in advance, telling the prince not to eat or drink in Zhaode Palace, so please don't blame the prince! If you have some free time, you might as well
Go and appease the prince."
Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, his mother was not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
The imperial family is also a human family, just like many ordinary families in the world. Empress Dowager Zhou, who is the mother-in-law, is extremely dissatisfied with Wan, who is the "daughter-in-law". In particular, Concubine Wan Gui is actually the same age as the Empress Dowager Zhou herself, which makes Zhou even more dissatisfied.
The Queen Mother couldn't bear it.
It's just that the emperor Zhu Jianshen was extremely obsessed with the Wan family. The Empress Dowager Zhou came from a small farmer's family and was far inferior to the Wan family in terms of scheming, skill and insight. She had been helpless for many years. Of course, in the face of filial piety and righteousness, Zhu Jianshen was also a filial son, so Wan Guifei
There was nothing that could be done to Empress Dowager Zhou.
The situation Zhu Jianshen is facing now is like encountering a problem that may be passed down through the ages - your mother and I fell into the water, who do you save first?
Emperor Chenghua stood beside the chariot in a daze for a while. He heard someone whispering beside him: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
Zhu Jian came to his senses deeply and issued an order: "I will go to Concubine Chen first. Then Xuan Wang will go straight to the palace and ask her to persuade Minister Wan."
The concubine Chen in the emperor's mouth was another concubine, Shao. She was named concubine Chen in the twelfth year of Chenghua. She was not an ordinary person. She was very favored in the harem, second only to Concubine Wan Gui.
Concubine Shao Chen had three sons, the eldest of whom, Zhu Youqi, was named King Xingxian in another history of time and space, and ruled in Anlu, Huguang... Yes, this King Xingxian was the famous Jiajing in history books
The emperor's father.
According to historical records, when Emperor Jiajing entered the palace from Huguang and ascended the throne, Concubine Shao Chen was almost seventy years old. She was blind and had been lonely in the palace for many years. However, she was able to welcome her grandson into the palace to become the emperor.
He proudly touched Emperor Jiajing's body from head to toe with his own hands. The tear-jerking scene can be regarded as one of the ten most touching moments of the Ming Dynasty.
Aside from gossip, Zhu Jianshen sent an order to Wang Zhi to enter the palace to persuade Concubine Wan Gui. Naturally, he had his reasons. There were many secret things in the palace, but outsiders didn't know much about it.
This Wang Zhi, no, Wang Zhi was originally the little palace maid next to Concubine Wan Gui. She was only five or six years old when she entered the palace, so she didn't attract much attention. But because Wang Zhi looked exactly like Concubine Wan Gui when she was young, she was loved by the concubine.
Concubine Wan Guifei liked to dress in men's clothing, and Wang Zhibian followed suit. She often dressed in men's clothing to serve around her, and appeared in front of others as the young eunuch Wang Zhi.
After Concubine Wan Gui gave birth to a child and died in infancy, she never got pregnant again. With her spiritual support, she regarded Wang Zhi as half a child, so Wang Zhi was able to be arrogant and do whatever she wanted. The emperor fell in love with Concubine Wan Gui, so he also treated her like a child.
Wang Zhi indulged herself and let her do whatever she wanted.
Precisely because of the close relationship between Wang Zhi and Concubine Wan Gui, Zhu Jianshen sent a message to Wang Zhi to enter the palace quickly to coax Concubine Wan Gui.
