Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 254 Empress Sun Confesses Conspiracy of Conspiracy
At first, when she heard the news that her father had entered the palace, Empress Dowager Sun didn't take it seriously.

On New Year's Eve, it is reasonable for the head of state to enter the palace to meet his daughter.

But as soon as Sun Zhong opened his mouth, the Empress Dowager Sun turned pale with shock.

If you want to say that the most hated person in Queen Mother Sun's life, it is naturally Queen Hu.After the death of Xuanzong and the Empress Dowager, the methods of the Empress Dowager Sun were also decisive enough.In just one year, Princess Shunde and Queen Hu were on the road successively.

The emperor proposed to restore the position of Empress Hu before, but Queen Mother Sun has endured it.Now the emperor has even worsened, and wants to adopt himself to Queen Hu. Isn't this deceiving too much?
Once Empress Hu is restored, and the emperor adopts Empress Hu, who is the son of the emperor or the Supreme Emperor?

If the emperor does not stop in the future and continues to take more actions to further weaken the orthodoxy of the Supreme Emperor, it is very likely that in the end, even the prince Zhu Jianshen will become the eldest son of Xuanzong's eldest son.At that time, could Zhu Jianshen still be able to sit on the crown prince?
Although Empress Dowager Sun's ability to govern the country is in a mess, it is hard to describe how well she taught Zhu Qizhen.But in terms of fighting for power and palace, he is indeed a good player.

After hearing the news and analyzing it briefly, he understood the emperor's intentions and the situation he was about to face.

Seeing that his daughter was silent, Sun Zhong complained with some dissatisfaction: "In the past six months of continuous wars, the Supreme Emperor has lost his master and humiliated the country, and he has lost the country. But the emperor has made great efforts to turn the tide and made an indelible contribution.

In comparison between the two, the Supreme Emperor's reputation has been greatly damaged, while the emperor's prestige has reached an unimaginable level.

Why are you mobilizing the Wang family at this time?Originally, the Supreme Emperor still had the orthodox advantage, while the Emperor was just a little bastard.

Even if he wants to honor Empress Hu, we can organize forces to stop him. After all, the emperor only controls the cabinet and the heads of the six ministries, and there are quite a few civil and military officials who are devoted to the emperor.

As a result, you made such a move, and now the government and the public are all sympathetic to the emperor and Queen Hu.

In the hearts of the people of the world, Queen Hu is an innocent victim, and so is the emperor.

Moreover, the emperor was even more innocent in the hearts of the people in the world. He had just made a great contribution to the world, and all his sons and daughters were killed when he turned around.

Now that the general trend of public opinion has been established, anyone who goes up to block it will be ruthlessly crushed. "

After Sun Zhong finished speaking, he shook his head vigorously and sighed heavily.

All the palace people stood far away from the entrance of the main hall, and the Empress Dowager Sun also sighed, and then told the truth to her father in a low voice: "I originally thought that the emperor guarded the palace of Prince Tan like a thief all day long." , and will send King Tan out of Beijing next year.

In this way, Prince Yi's Mansion, Wang's and others are of no use to us.

Therefore, I ordered people to do tricks and make King Tan seriously ill, which is also a warning to the emperor.

If the emperor is willing to restrain himself, then forget it.If the emperor still got worse, he would send King Tan to heaven at the beginning of the Zhengdan Dynasty.

In this way, serve multiple purposes.The Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting will definitely not be able to continue, and can only be forced to terminate.And the emperor lost his only son on the first day of his Jingtai Dynasty.This is a clear proof that the emperor is not favored by heaven, which will inevitably cause the emperor's prestige to be greatly damaged and the whole country to be suspicious.

Another one, if the prince dies young, the emperor's fertility will also be questioned, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people.

In this way, the emperor was too busy to take care of himself, and he would not have the energy to press us step by step for a while. "

Sun Zhong nodded when he heard the words, supposedly his daughter's plan was vicious and clever.If the emperor's only son really died on the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty, its impact on the situation would definitely be exactly as his daughter expected.

If it were someone else, after thinking of this strategy, they would also be confident and complacent.Just how did it suddenly become like this?

Empress Dowager Sun continued to say: "Then Cui Yuanjue of Taitai Hospital is an old man who I have used for many years, and his methods of treating people are extremely clever.

It is said that if King Tan passed away at the beginning of the Zhengdan Dynasty, King Tan would definitely be on the road on that day, never too early or too late.

But it happened that something went wrong here, and King Tan passed away three days early.

Immediately afterwards Hang's suicide and Wang's self-immolation.All of this happened so fast that by the time we knew it, we had no time to react, and it was all over. "

Sun Zhong asked curiously, "Then what happened the night Wang's self-immolation took place?"

Empress Dowager Sun shook her head: "I don't know, the officials and guards of Prince Yi's Mansion were strictly confined at that time, and they were all exiled the next day. It is impossible for them to know what happened in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

As for the eunuchs, maids, and concubines, it is possible to know, but they were also executed by Concubine Wu the next morning.

Not to mention those people we placed in Prince Tan's Mansion, all the people in Prince Tan's Mansion are gone.

It was Jin Yiwei who interrogated Mrs. Wang that day, and then put Mrs. Wang under house arrest.It is very likely that Jin Yiwei did some tricks and did some excessive things during the interrogation of Wang Shi.

Mrs. Wang has always been a temperamental person, and has always regarded herself as the emperor's wife and wife, and is quite dissatisfied with the emperor's cold reception.At that time, Jin Yiwei tortured and interrogated him, pointing out that the Wang family had poisoned King Tan.It is not impossible for Wang to set himself on fire in anger. "

Sun Zhong sighed when he heard the words: "I didn't expect the emperor's methods to be so vicious and sophisticated, he directly cut through the mess, not only broke the situation you set up to kill, but also turned us into a dead end.

So what to do next?Can there be a compromise between us and the emperor? "

Empress Dowager Sun asked: "Are there any Ministers of the Chinese and Military Affairs of the DPRK who are willing to stand up against the emperor?"

Sun Zhong resolutely replied: "Don't even think about this one. Now that the public opinion has become a big trend, it is extremely unfavorable to us. Whoever stands up against the emperor now will be ruthlessly swallowed up by the public opinion.

Anyway, the civil servants, military generals, and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty will never stand out.

As for the vassal king, maybe someone is willing?Isn't King Xiang always dissatisfied with the emperor? I don't know if he is willing to stand out.

Anyway, I don't want to try it anymore, now all the soldiers and horses of the capital are in the hands of the emperor.If the emperor can't think about it alone, destroying the whole family of Sun's family is just a matter of waving his hands. "

Empress Dowager Sun replied with a look of embarrassment: "It's just that at this point, how can we compromise?"

Sun Zhonglue hesitated, and gave a constructive suggestion: "Let's give up completely and admit defeat. When Princess Qi gives birth to a son-in-law, we will take the initiative to change the prince.

Then you and the Supreme Emperor took the whole family to live in Fengyang, and I took the Sun family back to my hometown.

As long as we have fine clothes, good food, prosperity and wealth, based on my observation of the emperor, he will agree. "

After hearing the words, Empress Dowager Sun replied firmly: "No, I absolutely cannot agree to this. In that case, the Hu family will still be the first wife, and I will become a concubine again.

The first emperor and I are husband and wife, so why should we give everything about the first emperor to a bastard who came out of nowhere. "

Sun Zhong couldn't sit still any longer, and complained angrily, "I've been arguing for most of my life because of the distinction between wives and concubines. Why bother? Is it worth bringing Sun's family to death with such a mere name?"

Sun Zhong was agitated for a while, and spoke a little loudly, and the palace guards at the entrance of the main hall looked over together.

Now that it has attracted the attention of the palace people, there is no further talk about this.Sun Zhong suppressed the unhappiness in his heart again, said a few words of comfort, and left.

……

At night, the capital is even more lively.

The sound of firecrackers continued, covering the entire capital.The first is to celebrate the reunion of the old and welcome the new, and the joy of family reunion; the second is to congratulate the victory of invading Wala and defending the capital;

Zhu Qiyu took his beloved concubines to kowtow in the dowager's bedroom, ready to watch the new year with the dowager.

The concubine waved her hand: "You don't need to stay with me anymore. So many things have happened in the past few days, and I'm not in the mood to celebrate the new year. Go back to your room and watch the new year together. I'm going to sleep after drinking a cup of calming tea."

Zhu Qiyu saw that the concubine had made up her mind, so she could only take the concubines back to her room.

Fortunately, the soft couch was big enough for everyone to sit on the couch, hugging brocade quilts and leaning on each other.While chatting, while watching the year.

Everyone has to fast for three days for the few people in Prince Yi's mansion, and those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can neither eat meat nor have intimate affairs.

So the room was rare to be quiet and serene.

It was extremely rare for the master and slave to respect each other as guests, and the atmosphere was rather awkward, so Zhu Qiyu said to everyone: "The night is long, why don't I tell you a story."
