Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 600

Next, Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong and his party members sent a memorial to hope that the Minister of Rites, Xu Zhaohua, would resign and marry Xia Wanchun on the grounds that they would not offend the hearts of the heroes of the Guards.

But Xu Zhaohua's attitude was very tough, and he even did not hesitate to threaten him with death again.

Those in the prince's party said they should respect Xu Zhaohua's choice.

Zhu Youjian also said that after Xia Wanchun recovered from his injury, Xu Zhaohua would leave the Supervisor of Rites and marry Xia Wanchun.

Yong Wang Zhu Cihuan saw all this in his eyes, and told Zhu Cihuang: "Now the cabinet is on the side of King Ding Zhu Cijiong. It is very difficult to keep your position as the crown prince. Once Xu Zhaohua leaves the supervisor of ceremonies, the prince's party will have nothing to do." Real power, we must take measures quickly."

At the same time, Yong Wang Zhu Cihuan is also looking for opportunities to make Zhu Cihong go on the road of no choice but to turn back.

And Zhu Cihong was indeed very anxious by Zhu Cihuan's words, and became very anxious all day long, wishing to scold Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong and Ma Shiying ten times every day before giving up.

On this day, Prince Zhu Cihong and Yongwang Zhu Cihuan came to Kunning Palace to watch Zhou Hou as usual, and because they took a nap at noon after Zhou Hou, Zhu Cihuan and Zhu Cijiong started to hang out.

A palace lady named Yunxiang caught Zhu Cihong's attention, and Zhu Cihong couldn't help but give Zhu Cihuan a tug: "Do you think she looks a bit like Sister Zhaohua?"

"The eyebrows and eyes are a bit similar, why, do you want to eat her, brother?" Zhu Cihuan asked with a smile, thinking inwardly that this might be an opportunity.

"I think about it. After all, I can't eat Xu Zhaohua. If I can eat her, it's not bad, but I can't touch the person who serves the queen mother. Let's talk about it after I become the emperor."

Zhu Cihong sighed, and looked at Ruxiang's butt.

"What are you afraid of? When you become the emperor, she will leave the palace as usual. It's too late. Now that you are the crown prince, there's nothing you can't do. Of course, it's not good for you to come forward. It's on the third brother, brother." I'll get it done."

When Zhu Cihuan said this, Zhu Cihuang patted Zhu Cihuan: "Okay, please!"

On this day, Zhu Cihuan found an opportunity to meet Zhou Hou again, and also bought someone to find a chance to spend time with Ruxiang alone.

Zhu Cihuan hugged Yun Xiang directly and entered a hut, and started to move wildly: "My dear, I have been looking at you for a long time, let me kiss you dearly."

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment, wait for the servant to close the door. I don't know what benefits His Highness can give the servant?"

The maid did not scream loudly, but took off her shirt on her own initiative.

"It's not a strong guy!" Zhu Cihuan shook his head speechlessly, he was only pretending to be rough, as long as Ruxiang refused, he immediately apologized and let Zhu Cihong take over Ruxiang.

But Zhu Cihuan didn't expect that Rue Xiang would take the initiative. Therefore, he had to change his plan and took out a bond issued by the Ministry of Accounts worth [-] silver dollars: "I'll give you this first, and you'll wait here on the third day of next month." Now, when the time comes, someone will come here, if you serve him well, I will give you another [-] silver dollars! When you go out in the future, at least I can make you a princess."

After speaking, Zhu Cihuan left.

And that Gong'e named Yunxiang hurriedly agreed to Zhu Cihuan, she was overjoyed.

The third day of the next month is the day when the princes Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cihuan will enter the palace to meet Zhou Hou as usual, but this time Zhu Cihuan brought Zhu Cihong to this hut: "Big brother, little brother, I have already arranged everything for you, you go in and do it now." Just a good thing, I have arranged for someone to look out for you."

The crown prince Zhu Cihong was very cautious in doing other things, but when it came to women, it was easy for sperm to get his head in his head. Hearing what Zhu Cihuan said, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Sure enough, the third brother is reliable."

Not long after, there was a panting sound in the room.

Zhu Cihuan took a chance and rushed in: "Brother, run quickly, father, father is coming this way, there is an ignorant maid who said that he heard movement in the house, father has ordered someone to come over to check, you run, here I have to bear it, remember to run to the back garden on the west side of Kunning Palace, there is no one in that area!"

Hearing this, the crown prince Zhu Cihong was so frightened that he let out his breath, hurriedly put on his clothes, and ran out barefoot with his hat, shoes and socks.

Here, Yongwang Zhu Cihuan walked in and walked in front of Yunxiang.

Yun Xiang hurriedly put on her clothes: "His Royal Highness Yongwang!"

But Zhu Cihuan grabbed Yunxiang's neck without saying a word, pinched it vigorously, and did not let go until Yunxiang died completely, then tore up Yunxiang's clothes, scratching many claw marks on her thighs and neck .

They pushed the tables and chairs in the house to the ground, and even dropped a teapot on the ground.

Then, Zhu Cihuan threw a jade pendant that had been stolen from Zhu Cihong on the scene.

Then, Zhu Cihuan went out quietly, and found a confidant who supported him, and this confidant said: "Your Majesty has already gone to the back garden."

Zhu Cihuan smiled and nodded.

……

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian came to see Empress Zhou, but because he went to sleep with Concubine Yuan Gui yesterday, he stopped by from the west side of Kunning Palace, but happened to see a messy bun, no crown or even shoes and socks Zhu Cihong, the prince wearing clothes: "Stop! What are you doing here! Why are you in such a mess!"

Prince Zhu Cihong lowered his head in fright: "No, nothing."

"Kneel down to me!" Zhu Youjian saw the prince Zhu Cihong like this, and he could guess what he might have done without asking, and he even saw the white mark on Zhu Cihong's robe.

Zhu Cihong had no choice but to kneel down, trembling: "Yes, it's the third brother, it's all the third brother who did it."

Zhu Youjian didn't hear what Zhu Cihong said clearly. He just wanted to interrogate Zhu Cihong. If Zhu Cihong had something else to do, he could forgive him, but if he caused trouble to the court, it would undoubtedly offend his infidelity.

At this moment, a palace woman happened to scream in front of her: "He's dead, he's dead! The Empress's side, Yun Xiang, is dead! Come quickly!"

Zhu Youjian obeyed and even glared at Zhu Cihong and Han Shoujing, the chief eunuch living in the inner court, and ran over in person.

Zhu Youjian pushed open the door and saw a palace lady named Yunxiang lying disheveled on the table, with claw marks all over her chest and legs, and blood stains in a private place.

Zhu Youjian also found the jade pendant, and he couldn't help being furious for a moment. He always thought that although Zhu Cihong was a prince, he was not as domineering as ordinary yamen, but he didn't expect Zhu Cihong to do such a thing in Kunning Palace.

Of course, Zhu Youjian didn't expect why Zhu Cihong would be so bold. He didn't restrain himself even after he was restored to the position of prince, but now he didn't want to ask these questions, so he ordered someone to put on Yunxiang's clothes and carried them to Zhu Cihong: "You Look at what you've done!"

"Father, father, these are all done by the third brother, and have nothing to do with the son!" Zhu Cihong roared, he was terrified, the only thing he could think of was to let his third brother take the blame for himself, after all, his third brother I have always been willing to go through fire and water for him.

"You are still sophistry! Look at what this is!" Zhu Youjian threw his jade pendant in front of Zhu Cihong, and even angrily slapped Zhu Cihong himself, one slap and another slap: "Disaster!" The palace doesn’t count, it’s a reckless disregard for human life, and it’s actually doing such a thing as rape and violence!”

Zhu Cihong was slapped by Zhu Youjian until his mouth was full of blood. He regretted it very much now, but he didn't know what to do, so he couldn't help but look around: "Where's the third brother?"
