little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 292
"Floating life is like tea, breaking obsessions like lotus. Only by being patient and patient can we move steadily and far." The Empress Dowager Li sighed, with a gentle look on her face: "You have already forgotten the words your father gave you. ? Your life is not going well, but it has something to do with your irritable temper."

Wanli's face was gloomy for a while and he remained silent for a long time, his heart was as sour as soaked in salt and vinegar. After a long time, he smiled wryly and said: "As a son, I never dare to forget the words of my father, but I have never been a person with wisdom. I only know that love desires its life, and evil desires its death, but there is no confusion." After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyelids and said in a cold voice, "Let's ask the mother to explain to my son."

Empress Dowager Li was expecting Wanli's answer, without any irritation, she smiled and said: "Don't worry, since Aijia has opened his mouth today, he will naturally give you an extremely detailed explanation." It seems that the matter is too long, Li The queen mother slightly closed her eyes, raised her head and looked towards the palace roof: "Well, the low-browed one who fell in love with you, her Mongolian name is Zhong Jinhatun, but do you know? When Khan came to court, she was already the princess of Altan Khan, the most powerful golden family in Mongolia at that time."

I haven't heard Low Eyebrow's real name for a long time. Wanli was in a trance at first hearing it, but then he seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt, and his whole body was instantly stiff... He raised his head and lost his voice: "Impossible, she didn't talk to me. Say, no one told me!"

Empress Dowager Li kept her gaze on the top of the hall, without even looking at him: "What did I tell you? With Zhong Jinhatun's intelligence, doesn't she know the consequences of what she said? Given your passion and enthusiasm at the time, even if you knew She is the princess of Mongolia Alta, will you let go? Mingmeng peace is not easy, which is more important, she is not a person who does not know the importance." Shaking her head, she sneered slightly: "There is nothing like a mother, a son born in the Ai family What kind of temper is, only Aijia knows in his heart."

As if hit by a heavy hammer, Wanli, who was caught off guard by the blow and collapsed, was a little confused at this moment, looking straight at Queen Mother Li with his eyes, and said dully: "My princess...that's not the imperial concubine. Is it Mrs. Yipin Zhongshun? Is she married to the father and son of the Golden Family for three generations, and is now the third lady in Guihua City, Ningxia, Gansu?"

Empress Dowager Li nodded, smiling cruelly and cheerfully: "You were born extremely smart, and you remember everything right."

Wanli stopped talking, and stared blankly at his mother, the few traces of warmth remaining in his eyes were quickly disappearing.

Empress Dowager Li, whose face was extremely gloomy, didn't care. The relationship between mother and child has reached this point, and there is nothing to cherish.

"After talking about what's on your mind, now it's time to say something about Aijia."

"No matter how much you blame Aijia, you are always Aijia's son, and you still need Aijia to take care of what you have done."

Withdrawing the gaze that had been on Empress Dowager Li and turning to the ground, Wanli's face was blank and empty, and all kinds of feelings were turbulent in his heart.

"After you made peace with her, Zhong Jin Hatun found out that she was pregnant. She didn't dare to go back to her father Khan, so she ran to Ciqing Palace to beg her to be with you, and she would rather not be named. Even if she is a maidservant, as long as she is allowed to guard you and the child in the palace, she is willing."

Empress Dowager Li has been completely lost in memory: "...she is really a smart woman, crying and begging, almost softening Aijia's heart and almost agreeing. But Aijia couldn't, the Mongolian border has been in chaos for decades, so good It’s easy for people to settle down, how can they fight again because of a woman, the Ming Dynasty was already a sieve that was about to rot at the bottom, and couldn’t stand the slightest disturbance.”

"The Ai family rejected her, and at the same time ordered people to control her, so as not to let any rumors leak out." Wanli nodded clearly, and said in an inaudible voice: "This is also the reason why she suddenly passed from my side without a sound. The reason for disappearing."

Empress Dowager Li still ignored him, and said to herself: "Perhaps Aijia didn't kill her and gave her hope. She became more and more unwilling to give up, and went to Ciqing Palace every day, kneeling and begging, until she gave birth... "Speaking of this, the word "production" finally moved Wanli's stiff expression, his eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Queen Mother Li for a moment.

"... She gave birth to a boy, a very beautiful boy who looks very similar to you. On the day she was born, Aijia took her away by death." Wanli's eyes lit up at this moment It was astonishing, the original heavy breathing was silent... He had a premonition that what Queen Mother Li said next would solve the mystery that had been lingering in his heart all along.

Empress Dowager Li's hoarse voice continued: "After talking about her, I have to say that you have hated Concubine Gong all your life. I don't know if it was arranged by the Buddha in the dark. Your drunken confusion actually caused her She is pregnant, but she is from Chuxiu Palace. According to Concubine Zheng's temperament, she must not be able to survive. The Ai family had an idea and kept her here." Suddenly smiled: "Concubine Zheng is favored by Zhong. What happened after Jin Hatun disappeared, the Ai family is right? You like her only because she looks like her...It’s ridiculous that Concubine Zheng is arrogant, but she doesn’t know that she has long been the most pitiful puppet in the world.”

Wanli's face turned red and livid for a while, his hands had already been pinched fiercely, and his brows and eyes seemed to be erected again.

"On the third day after Zhong Jin Hatun gave birth to a child, Concubine Gong also gave birth to a son. The Ai family knew that the opportunity had come."

Wanli swallowed with difficulty, because he was too excited, the thick blue veins bulging on his forehead kept stretching and contracting, making his skinny face even more terrifying.

"The Ai family knows that you have a deep love for him, and it's not that you can break it off just by saying it. At that time, your performance was far less intense than now. If..." Looking at Wanli who was gnashing her teeth, Queen Mother Li laughed at herself: "If? Then what if, it's too late to say anything now."

"After Zhong Jin Hatun gave birth to her son, Aijia finally had a weapon to break her mind, because Aijia is also a mother."

"She didn't think that I would threaten her with the life of the child. Aijia asked her to leave you and go to the grassland to be Altan Khan's princess. I agreed...to this day, the little girl back then is already a legend on the grassland, a famous third lady." At this point, Empress Dowager Li suddenly laughed loudly: "One marriage is not enough, there is still a second marriage." Third marriage, I wonder if you would still like such a third marriage?"

"The queen mother is indeed not an ordinary person, she is cruel and cruel, and no one can compare." Looking at the queen mother Li who was laughing happily, the ashen-faced Wanli closed his eyes in pain, and his voice was hoarse: "But thank you, you didn't kill me?" her."

"Hard hearted?" Regarding Wanli's comment, Empress Dowager Li laughed instantly, and then sighed quietly: "If Aijia is ruthless, there will be no such things today."

"The bloodline of the royal family cannot be stained! Although the Ai family promised not to kill her son, how could they keep him in the palace to be kind to her? Based on how you treat her, if you know that he is your son, you will do something! I can't imagine anything crazy."

Wanli had completely lowered his head, not because he didn't want to say anything, but because he couldn't say anything.

"Actually, you shouldn't blame Zhu Xi, but you should thank her. If it wasn't for her, you would have made a big mistake at this time."

Seeing her son with a pale face raised her head in surprise, Empress Dowager Li gasped and said with a smile: "After sending Zhong Jinhatun out of the palace, the Ai family ordered Zhuxi to send her son out of the palace, and find an innocent If you are a rich man, let him live a good life."

Wanli, who had completely calmed down, was fascinated by the sound, and continued with a sense of loss: "If this is the case, it would be a good decision."

Looking at him unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Li smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, you also think this decision is good. Everyone in the world envies the wealth and wealth of the Heavenly Family, but who knows the pain and suffering and shock at every step?" An extremely bitter smile A cry: "Unfortunately, the sky does not follow people's wishes. On the night of the palace where the bamboo breath was about to be sent, she ran to tell Ai's family in panic... that a child was missing."

"Ah?!" The matter was so bizarre that Wanli, who had been listening quietly, suddenly widened his eyes and shouted: "Why is there a child missing? Which child is missing?"

Shocked and angry voices kept echoing in the empty hall, so that everywhere...the one was missing...the one was missing...the echoes kept going, as if thousands of people were talking non-stop. Asking questions, in this cold night, is almost thrilling.

Faced with Wanli's eager questioning, Empress Dowager Li remained unmoved at all, and her tone was always unhurried: "Afterwards, the Ai family tortured Zhu Xi, and she insisted that it was Zhong Jinhatun's child who was lost, Zhu Xi As a person, you and I both know that what she says and does is never false, so the Ai family believed her."

"It's not what the Ai family wanted to lose Zhong Jinhatun's child, but I have to say that the Ai family is still very happy."

"In this way, the days passed day by day, until after you took office, you killed many of the courtiers who helped you; you started to neglect the queen, favored the concubine Zheng, and the Ai family seemed to have a bright mirror in their hearts, but they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Take it as the Ai family owes you."

"It wasn't until you recognized the piece of jade on the child you had always hated, that the child's life experience surfaced. Aijia was shocked when he found out. How could the child of Zhong Jin Hatun, whom he thought he had lost that night, be in Christine's life?" The concubine grew up under her knees? I thought that Zhu Xi was making a fool of herself, but when she asked her about it, Zhu Xi swore that she would not do that. Zhu Xi would not lie to me, but I couldn’t explain it. The piece originally belonged to Zhong Jinhatun How did the child's jade end up by Concubine Gong's side?"

Wanli seemed dumbfounded, raised his head in a daze, and asked blankly, "Well, Queen Mother, what do you think is going on?"

Empress Dowager Li ignored him, and said to herself: "In the past few years, I have watched you lift the eldest son of the emperor from the ground to the sky, hold him in the palm of your hand, and dote on him in every possible way. I don't like Concubine Zheng and the third son of the emperor. At that time, I thought it was the will of the Buddha, until a few days ago, do you still remember that you wanted to execute Ye He, the prostitute of Haixi Jurchen?"

Wanli raised his head uneasily, his eyes have become blank: "...what do you mean?"

Empress Dowager Li smiled coldly: "The day before the execution, Zhu Xi came crying and told me that the proton Ye He was your other lost son."

The thing was so bizarre that it was almost absurd, Wanli couldn't believe it, his heart was beating wildly, his throat couldn't hold back the sweet smell, and he tried to say: "Mother, whose child is the current prince Zhu Changluo?"

Empress Dowager Li lowered her eyes, and sighed in a low voice: "When Zhu Xi said it, Ai Jia was as surprised and angry as you are now. I asked Zhu Xi, and she couldn't explain the reason clearly. Cut Ye He's proton here." The night before, I found a post in her living room, which clearly wrote about these things in the past, but no one in the palace knew about it. Afterwards, Ai's family speculated that this person must be the thief. .”

"The matter is urgent, and I can't allow Ai's family to deliberate on these side details, so I have to order Liu Shouyou to lead someone to let him go. As for his innocence, there will be another chance in the future." After saying this in one breath, Queen Mother Li couldn't bear it. With red eyes, he said softly, "No matter how much you complain about Aijia, Aijia loves you as much as any mother in the world."

Raising his head and staring blankly at the Empress Dowager Li who had been haggard and aged for decades overnight, Wanli felt disheartened for a while, his throat felt itchy like a heartbeat, and after turning his back and coughing violently, his palms became warm and sticky. thick liquid.Wanli didn't even look at it, wiped it with a handkerchief and turned around. Seeing the worried expression on Empress Dowager Li's face, she couldn't help but feel soft. A smile appeared: "My son is not filial, and even when you are old, you will be tired of planning and worrying about me. This head should be regarded as an apology... In the future, I will not let my mother worry about it."

Looking at the back of Wanli who turned and left the hall, Empress Dowager Li suddenly spun, stepped forward and took a step, her feet staggered and she fell limply to the ground.

The Qianqing palace was in a state of turmoil, all the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were here, forming a large circle around the bed, all of them looked mournful and concubine.Huang Jin's legs were running weak inside and out. After seeing the faces of the imperial doctors, his heart felt weak for the first time in his life. Wu Jinzhen, the head of the imperial hospital at the time, quietly pulled Huang Jin aside: "Elder-in-law, sir! His Majesty will wake up after this needle is inserted, but there is something disrespectful to say, seeing His Majesty's appearance...I'm afraid..."

What he was afraid of, he didn't continue talking intermittently, but Huang Jin knew very well what he was afraid of. He was dizzy for a while, and his three souls and seven souls were all out of his body. Now that he is completely comatose to the point where he doesn't know anything about personnel, Huang Jin already knows about seven or eight points without President Wu saying anything. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just give the needle!"

The person who received the needle woke up. After waking up, there was no trace of blood on Wanli's face, and the vomiting of blood had stopped. A maid came up to change his clothes, and after another bowl of ginseng soup, his spirit seemed to be much better. He raised his hand to call Huang Jin: "Immediately announce that the five members of the cabinet, Shen, Wang, Yu, Li, and Ye, will come to the palace to meet me. I have something to say."

This is obviously the meaning of confessing the funeral, Huang Jin's eyes were so sore that he choked up and said, "Your Majesty..."

Wanli had already closed his eyes tiredly, breathing through his nose vaguely, but the tight corners of his mouth were enough to explain the problem.
