Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0140 Endless Disputes in the Emperor’s Family, Parents Are Always Deviated

The empress dowager's child living among the people?

Daiyu was greatly surprised: "I heard that the Empress Dowager Xi was conferred the title of side concubine when the Supreme Emperor was the crown prince, and she has only raised one child, King Yongle, for the Supreme Emperor all these years."

The East Palace is located in the inner court, and becoming a concubine of the crown prince is equivalent to cutting off the connection with the outside world.All these years in the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Palace, how could the Empress Dowager have children living outside?

"The Empress Dowager is quite perverse. At least as far as I can remember, she treats everyone indifferently." Sometimes the emperor thinks that the Empress Dowager is the one who has reached the highest level of life. She seems to have lost her emotions. Even King Yong Le couldn't move her.The emperor said: "She treats everyone the same. She is not harsh, but she is not gentle either. Even King Yong Le was not raised by her. Maybe it was to prevent the Eastern Dowager from hurting him again, or maybe It’s true that he doesn’t have much affection. King Yong Le was imprisoned in the Yangguang Palace since he was a child and grew up. To be honest, I’m not surprised that his heart will become like that.”

The Supreme Emperor was afraid that being too pampered would cause him to die prematurely. The Empress Dowager was indifferent from the beginning to the end. King Yong Le was imprisoned in the Yangguang Palace for more than 20 years, just like wild flowers blooming beside the stone slabs of the Forbidden City, letting it bloom and wither. , never cared about.

"It's ridiculous to say that when I was very young, I peeked outside the Yangguang Palace and saw that although he couldn't see him, he had the aura of light and wind. At the beginning, I even felt that he was more pitiful than me. "The emperor smiled, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself for being too naive at the time, or satirizing that King Yongle was too good at acting.

"Which corner is the Yangguang Palace, I have never seen it before."

"Empress Yongle Wang Yuji changed Yangguang Palace to Shou'an Palace, and ordered the Eastern Empress Dowager to move to the palace, but the Eastern Empress Dowager forced her to die, so she was stopped by the Supreme Emperor." When two people got together to collect debts from him, he panicked.

Only then did Daiyu understand, no wonder she hadn't seen Yangguang Palace on the map of the Forbidden City.It turned out that it was King Yongle who changed the name of the hall as soon as Yuji was in charge.

"You just said, what happened to the Empress Dowager's child?"

The emperor took a deep breath, as if he was thinking about how to speak.For Murong, this is not a glorious thing.After thinking twice, he decided to tell Daiyu.Husband and wife are one body, and there shouldn't be any secrets between them.

He rubbed his brows and sighed: "Strictly speaking, it happened 15 years ago. I was too young to know what happened 15 years ago, but I ordered Jin Yiwei to find out. Concubine Yuan's Western Empress Dowager escaped from the palace together with the commander of Jinyiwei at that time in the name of going out of the palace to worship the Buddha, and even hid outside for a year..."

"How could such a thing happen?" The Empress Dowager Xi was indeed an unexpected person. As a concubine, she dared to leave everything behind and run away!How much courage and cruelty it takes. "A concubine fleeing privately is a death penalty for punishing the Nine Clans. How dare she? She even ignored Zuo's entire family?"

"Yeah, she doesn't care about anything." The royal family valued face the most, but the Supreme Emperor kept the matter a secret, and only announced to the outside world that Concubine Yuan was seriously ill and needed to rest. "Whether you can lie or not, others say, at least in my eyes, I believed it for a long time. When I saw the Queen Mother again, she was very thin, as if she had really suffered a serious illness. It has been a year After that, the Supreme Emperor finally found her back. No other matters were pursued, and even the commander who reinstated the capital was not punished."

Daiyu was silent for a long time, she watched the emperor hesitate to speak, as if she really wanted to ask something, but she didn't know how to ask it.

The emperor understood what she wanted to ask, and said with a light smile, "You want to know, is that child the emperor's or the commander's?"

She hesitated a little, but nodded in agreement.If the child was not the Supreme Emperor's, but he allowed the Empress Dowager Xi and the Commander to live, and even acquiesced in allowing the child to grow up safely, then she would really have to re-evaluate the Supreme Emperor.

"In fact, I do not know……"

"What?" Daiyu couldn't believe that he didn't know about such an important matter?

The emperor nodded helplessly, and said with a sigh: "The Queen Mother is unwilling to say. I don't think even the Supreme Emperor knows who the child is, and he didn't even know that the child existed before I found out. The child lived a good life." It’s not good, and it’s not an exaggeration to call it Dang Pei Piao. The commander’s surname was Yan. After the official was restored, the Supreme Emperor didn’t want to see him again, so he ordered him to work for the former prince. Only two years later, He didn't want to be an official, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. It's a pity that he wanted to live in peace, but someone remembered him. After the crown prince was involved in the disaster of treason and witchcraft, the Supreme Emperor thought that there was a villain bewitching him, and even brought Shujun Wang and others to get close All the people were uprooted. That Master Yan also suffered because of this, and his family was destroyed."

"Didn't that child also suffer from an indiscriminate disaster?" Daiyu couldn't hear these things, and felt more and more frightening about the struggle for imperial power.Even though he knew that the emperor had found him later, he still couldn't help worrying at this moment: "How did you know about that child?"

He was so weak back then, it didn't make sense that the emperor didn't know about it, but he found out.

"It was Sun Shaoxian who revealed the news." The emperor also felt strange at the time, they were all young men who were not yet at the weak crown, and Sun Shaoxian seemed to know more than them, as if he had already grasped the opportunity and was just waiting. Play here and now. "When Jin Yiwei found out, the child had already entered the Old Summer Palace and was waiting to be purified. I kept him and made a deal with the Queen Mother."

"You just said that the Empress Dowager is the coldest person, how could she agree to you for a child?"

The emperor shook his head and said: "Although she is indifferent, she is not heartless. The Empress Dowager believes that everyone has their own way to go, and others cannot interfere too much, so she never refuses to waste her efforts. As for that child, she may be the one who owes her the most in her life. I told her that the child has been purified, and from then on she can only stay in Yuanmingyuan as a servant. That was the only time I saw her cry. Later, even though King Yongle was abolished, she did not shed tears, even very plain She is the person whom the Supreme Emperor cares most about. Even though she already has the heart to abolish the Emperor, she still cares about the Empress Dowager West and has not made an order. I asked her for the child's life and the stability and safety of the rest of my life, and advised the Supreme Emperor to abolish the Emperor... ..."

Two sons, palms and backs, no matter which one is saved, the other will be hurt.The emperor actually did this very dishonestly, threatening a woman without even a conscience and a bottom line.But at that critical moment, nothing else matters, and the most important thing is to survive.

"Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother agreed without thinking carefully. She turned against each other, and things went smoothly afterwards. The Supreme Emperor abolished King Yongle with violence and immorality. I won pity because of my illness. Love is also a descendant of the middle palace, and there is a good name for generosity and kindness among the people. In addition, King He Rui is also partial to me. The Supreme Emperor was forced by various situations, so he first named me the prince, and half a year later, he made me the prince again. For the emperor. I thought that everything was settled, and I even said a lot to the Eastern Empress Dowager, that she must be allowed to live in the Palace of Compassion and Peace that the Empress Dowager should have, not the Palace of Shou'an in Laoshizi."

When mentioning the Eastern Queen Mother, Daiyu frowned unconsciously.Although she had not been with the Queen Mother for a short time, she probably knew what she would do.Probably pouring cold water on the emperor is not enough, and even swearing at each other.

"I've never understood that you didn't treat her badly. Why is she always dissatisfied? Even if you are captured, will the Supreme Emperor turn back because of this? How unfair is it to treat you like this?"

The emperor's mouth was numb with bitterness, yes, he also wanted to know why.He held Daiyu's hand to his heart, and said in a rather lonely tone: "You see, people's hearts are inherently biased. I didn't raise it well, and it was a reverse birth, which made her suffer a lot. At that time, the Taishang Huang blatantly doted on Zuo Taigui, and she probably thought I was a disaster, so she didn't want to see me. It is impossible for the Taishang Huang to turn back. If so, it is good for her to hold the power. So compared to me , she wants King Jinzhuang to be the emperor. My brother is obsessed with calligraphy and painting all day long, and loves mountains and rivers. If he was not born in the royal family, he is just an ordinary man of aristocratic family, and maybe he is a hermit who does not work. She thinks I am not as good as soft King Jinzhuang is easy to control, so she said all day long that I am not worthy of the big responsibility, and wants me to sit in King Jinzhuang. After being reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor, she thought about giving me a girl from their Shui family to raise her. Give birth to a son, so that she can manipulate her."

Daiyu couldn't believe that there was such a mother in the world.There are partialities, but mothers who don't care about their children at all are rare in the world.Even though the Supreme Emperor is ashamed of her, he has given her a lot of respect and dignity over the years, but it can be seen from how many princes are raised by her.But that's it, she is not enough, wantonly stirring up the storm in the inner court.Even the Supreme Emperor abdicated and refused to give up, turning to torture his own son.

"Since we want to choose a girl from the Shui family, why is Concubine Shu the one who finally enters the palace?" Although Concubine Shu is from a collateral line of the Shui family, her surname is Huang, and her relationship with the Eastern Empress Dowager is also a little distant.

"There is no suitable girl in the direct line of the Shui family. The only one who is of the right age has been given by the Supreme Emperor to King Yongle as a queen two years ago. She is also considered to have a thousand choices, so she wants to send Concubine Shu in. I refuse to follow her. , she asked the imperial concubine who was still serving me at that time to bring a jug of wine..." This incident made the emperor very sad, and one cup of wine ruined most of the imperial concubine's life.

Now that this matter was brought up, the emperor was still gnashing his teeth with hatred: "It was a pot of wine with strong medicine, she was so impatient, she even resorted to such low-spirited methods, and she wanted concubine Shu and me without a name or a title." It's done. But I didn't expect that it was Concubine Shu who went wrong halfway..."
