History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 229

He Xuanji found a good mate, which is a joy, and with the New Year's Eve approaching, the atmosphere in Fengyang Palace is quite festive.However, the other thing Dou said when he entered the palace to greet him was not very pleasant-Xu Sheng couldn't get Han Xuan'er, but somehow he got involved with Zhuang Yan, and took the proud princess of the past as his concubine.

Although marrying wives and taking concubines is his own business, Zhuang Yan's actions that day are very clear to Xu's brothers and sisters. Although Xu Lang didn't say anything, Xu Xiang was quite aggrieved, "Third brother is too nonsense! Back then, my father The order was to raid the Zhuang family, and the charges have already been determined, but now he accepts Zhuang Yan as his concubine? Uncle Wang is also confused, and he doesn't want to dissuade him!"

"It's not that you don't know their personalities." Lin Lang smiled slightly, "We're not the only ones who can't see this matter, and the Queen Mother may not agree to it, just wait and see."

Such a calm and indifferent attitude made Xu Xiang a little puzzled, but Lin Lang didn't explain much - Wei Wei and Zhuang Yan belonged to the old party. According to the clues found recently, Xu Sheng may not accept Zhuang Yan as his concubine this time. It's just nonsense.

As expected, Chu Hanyi was furious when he heard about this, and specially summoned Princess Dou and Xu Sheng's wife Shen to the palace for questioning.Lin Lang was also in Ci'an Palace at that time, Chu Hanyi's character was straightforward, and she didn't pay much attention to the idle Prince Dun and his son, so her tone was not very good when she spoke, and she said straight to the point: "I heard that Sanlang accepted a The concubine is from the dealer?"

Chen shi bit her lips and lowered her head without speaking, but said with a smile: "Empress Lao is worried, it is true. Sanlang is now alone with Chen shi. That day the mansion was entertaining guests for tea and invited the girl Zhuang Yan. I came here to make tea, and unexpectedly, I fell in love with San Lang, and seeing how pitiful she was, San Lang accepted her as his concubine."

"She's pitiful?" Chu Hanyi sneered, his eyes like knives, "Isn't Princess Dun not aware of the charges against the banker?"

Dou was at a loss for words for a while, and forced a smile: "I don't know about this. It was related to the Zhu family at that time, and connected with the rebels." ——Xu Fengxian was enthroned by a group of generals. Few, it is difficult to inherit the great rule again, and the Zhu family blatantly raised the flag to rebel, so Xu Fengxian went to Beijing in the name of King Qin, and then controlled the chaos, ascending to the throne of God is more convincing than Zhu Yong.Although the dynasties have changed, Xu Fengxian still built a temple alone to enshrine the incense of the Jun family. He used both soft and hard methods to block the mouths of everyone, while Zhu Yong and his son became sure rebels.

As for the Zhuang family, even though it was the Queen's mother's family, Xu Fengxian also found a suitable charge for him. Zhu Yong identified the hiding place of the royal family in order to survive.

This crime was far-fetched, but Xu Fengxian took the opportunity to attack, and everyone knew it well.But now that Xu Fengxian passed away for more than half a year, his bones are still not cold, but his own nephew blatantly took the rebel's daughter, how can it not be discussed?
Chu Hanyi had a close relationship with Xu Fengxian all his life, so he felt that Dou's behavior was really disrespectful to the late emperor, so he said coldly, "San Lang is quite courageous in marrying the traitor's daughter privately! He felt pitiful for Zhuang Yan, because he felt that the late emperor was wronged. Is it the banker?"

Under the fury, Chu Hanyi's face turned cold.Dou could not stand such scolding, she just muttered: "It's...it's Sanlang's idea, and I... can't help it."

Chu Hanyi sneered and said, "The late emperor had forgiven the Zhuang family by not killing him. If he persists in his obsession, then he will bear the crime of being a traitor together."

Dou was so dumb that she didn't dare to answer, she just glanced at Lin Lang, asking for help.Lin Lang didn't like this aunt, so she smiled and said, "That day when the Zhu family invaded the capital, the queen mother used a feigned surrender to stabilize the situation and consulted everyone in the mansion. I remember that King Dun said... What people want, this time the third younger brother takes in the old party of the Zhu family, could it be that King Dun still has the same thoughts as before?"

Although it was a soft and pleasant tone, the meaning in the words was shocking. No matter how hard Dou could hold back, there was a gleam of gray in his originally flickering eyes, and he knelt down in front of Chu Hanyi, his face pale and bewildered. Empress Mingjian, my lord never has such thoughts!"
