Chapter 123 The terrifying truth! (Part 2)
Zhu Youtang took a few deep breaths and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
While angry, Zhu Youtang felt chilled.
In the final analysis, Zhang Min was just a eunuch, a slave serving the emperor.
Zhang Min was just following orders when he poisoned Zhu Youtang's mother.
As for whose order it was, it was either Concubine Wan Gui or the late Emperor Zhu Jianshen!
The cabinet is ruthless to the Zhou family, and Concubine Wan Guifei and Zhu Jianshen are also ruthless!
The cabinet and the Zhou family made the Queen Mother the Queen Mother sick, and forced Zhu Jianshen to move Zhu Youtang out of Zhaode Palace in order to follow the principle of filial piety.
Zhu Jianshen and Concubine Wan Gui were even more ruthless and directly caused the death of the Queen Mother!
Without his sick mother, Zhu Youtang would not need to visit her from time to time, let alone move out of Zhaode Palace!
What an irony!
Zhu Youtang is still investigating the case of his father being poisoned.
As a result, he turned around and discovered that his mother was poisoned by his father.
Compared with his father and grandma, Zhu Youtang's skills are still not ruthless enough!
Zhu Youtang turned his head, looked at Wynn who was lying on the ground and was shaking, and continued to ask.
"In that case, why did I go to Cining Palace in the end?"
"Tell me quickly!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will tell you right now."< br>
When Wynn opened his mouth, he had already told everything he knew without any concealment.
“Because...because in the second month after the death of the Queen Mother, Concubine Wan Gui’s father, Commander Wan Gui of the Imperial Guards, died suddenly.”
"The Zhou family took His Majesty to Cining Palace on the grounds that there was a funeral in Concubine Wan Gui's family and it was not appropriate to raise the prince during this period."
"There will be no talk of returning him since then."
< br>When Wynn said this, Zhu Youtang understood everything at once.
Why are all the princes of the late emperor who are still alive today, except Zhu Youtang, born eleven years after Chenghua?
Because the crown prince has been decided in the eleventh year of Chenghua, it is Zhu Youtang who is close to the cabinet and the Zhou family.
Now that the crown prince has been confirmed, the cabinet and the Zhou and Wang families no longer need to target other concubines to prevent them from having the crown prince.
The most direct proof of this is that the second son of the emperor, Zhu Youqi, was born in the twelfth year of Hongzhi.
It has been less than a year since Zhu Youtang was canonized as the crown prince.
There was a gap of eight years between the birth of Crown Prince Zhu Youji and the birth of Zhu Youqi!
And another thing to note is that Concubine Wan Gui was named Imperial Concubine by Zhu Jianshen after the case of the demon Li Zilong in the twelfth year of Chenghua.
Like Queen Wang, Tongzhang's golden book, golden seal, and gold treasure have the ability to compete with the Zhou family and Wang family in the harem.
From then on, Concubine Wan Gui suppressed the Wang family and the cabinet, and protected other princes to grow up smoothly.
Why is Concubine Wan Gui dominating the Sixth Palace and possessing power in the harem, but she cannot even protect her own child?
Because in the second year of Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen had just ascended the throne and the power in his hands was unstable. Even Concubine Wan Guifei had little power and could not confront the cabinet and the Zhou family.
Why did the Zhou family and the Wang family join forces to hide Zhu Youtang and the Queen Mother?
Why was the identity of the Holy Mother Queen Mother tampered with?
The answer to these two questions is the same, that is, because the Wang family has no children, they want to snatch a prince over and seize the legitimate heir for them!
Why was Zhu Youtang sent to Zhaode Palace first and then to Cining Palace?
Because this battle to seize the direct descendants started with Concubine Wan Gui's dominance and ended with the complete victory of the Zhou family and the cabinet.
Why didn’t Zhu Youtang even get to see the Holy Mother Queen Mother until her death?
Because the Zhou family and the cabinet made the Queen Mother the Queen Mother sick, and Zhu Jianshen and Concubine Wan Guifei made the Queen Mother the Queen Mother die!
Why did Zhu Jianshen want to depose Zhu Youtang as the crown prince?
Because in the 21st year of Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen had completely taken power.
Zhu Youtang was raised by the Zhou family since he was a child, and he was a member of the Zhou family and the cabinet.
So Zhu Jianshen wants to replace Zhu Youtang and make his own Zhu Youtang the crown prince!
However, what is recorded in the history books is that Liang Fang was afraid of being liquidated by Zhu Youtang, so she encouraged Concubine Wan Guifei to persuade Zhu Jian Shen to transfer to Zhu Youtang. This is pure fabrication!
Yi Chu Zhu Youqi was originally Zhu Jianshen’s idea!
All questions got a perfect answer.
Zhu Youtang stood in the room, closed his eyes, digesting the news he had just received in his mind, and could not calm down for a long time.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Youtang finally opened his eyes, and Wynn was still lying on the ground, terrified.
Zhu Youtang ignored Hua En in the room, walked slowly to the door of the house, and opened the door.
In an instant, the biting cold wind blew Zhu Youtang's robe, and the bright snow scene outside made Zhu Youtang narrow his eyes slightly.
Everything seems like a world away.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"
The four guards around him, the young eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and Wang Zhi, knelt on the ground to say hello to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang ignored them and walked straight to his dragon chariot and sat on it.
"Go to...Qingning Palace."
Zhu Youtang lowered his head and waved his hand.
“No!”
The dragon chariot set off towards Qingning Palace.
Wang Zhi was worried about Zhu Youtang's condition and quickly followed him.
After twists and turns in the Forbidden City, the dragon chariot finally stopped at the entrance of Qingning Palace.
Zhu Youtang stepped off the dragon chariot, glanced at the plaque of Qingning Palace, and walked in.
"I have seen your majesty!"
The four Tengxiang guards guarding Qingning Palace immediately knelt down and saluted Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang walked past them slowly and entered the gate of Qingning Palace.
The Qingning Palace was extremely cold and there were no luxurious decorations.
The eunuchs serving the Zhou family in the palace quickly sang: "The emperor has arrived!"
Subsequently, a large group of palace maids and eunuchs walked out of the palace and knelt beside Zhu Youtang.
“I have seen your Majesty!” “I have seen your Majesty!”
The leader is Grandma Liu, who has served the Zhou family for more than 40 years.
Zhu Youtang ignored them and walked slowly into the main hall of Qingning Palace.
In the main hall, there are heaters burning on all sides, making it as warm as spring.
Zhou, dressed in brocade and mink fur, knelt in the middle of the hall and prayed sincerely.
Because she was deprived of her title, she could not wear any clothes embroidered with phoenix patterns, and could only wear simple Chinese clothes.
She closed her eyes and kept turning the beads in her hand.
On the table in front of her, there were two memorial tablets, with cigarettes curling in front of them.
Among these two tablets, one of them reads: Yingzong Fatian Li Daoren Mingcheng respects the throne of Emperor Zhaowen Xianwu to Deguang Xiaorui.
Another tablet reads: Xianzong Jitian Ningdaocheng Mingren respects the throne of Emperor Wensuwu Hongde Shengxiaochun.
These two tablets are respectively the tablet of Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzongrui of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Jianshen, the pure emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty.
This was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Not only could he not survive his wife, he could not survive his own mother.
"Poisonous woman! Do you still have the nerve to enshrine the tablets of the two late emperors?!"
Zhu Youtang stood at the door and spoke coldly.
The Buddhist beads spinning in Zhou's hand froze for a moment, then continued to spin.
"Tell me, did you poison the late emperor?"
"Bang!"
Zhou made a strong effort in her hand, and the string of Buddhist beads in her hand fell down and scattered in the empty hall. , making a ding-ding-dong-dong sound.
Mr. Zhou sighed, opened her eyes and looked at Zhu Youtang at the door, without saying a word.
Zhu Youtang walked slowly into the Zhou family and knelt down in front of the tablets of the two late emperors.
"Huai'en has told me everything, starting from the fifth year of Chenghua, when you and the Wang family joined forces to control the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother." Wentai, until you give the late emperor that medicine."
Zhou's tone was calm: "Since you know everything, why do you come to ask the Ai family what to do?"
"I want an answer."
"I want to say it myself. Hear you out!”
"Tiger poison doesn't even eat its seeds."
"The late emperor is your biological son, how could you do it?!"
Zhou's expression was cold: "Now, let's talk about it What do these do?”
"You are now an emperor with all the power. You should know what power feels like."
"If you hadn't inexplicably had so many loyal and loyal factory guards."
"Do you think you can use this tone to talk to the Aijia now?"
After such a long period of confinement, there is no trace of Zhou's panic when he suddenly lost all power on the day of the coup. At a loss.
Now Zhou has calmly accepted the result that he has lost everything.
The power he had worked hard to achieve for half his life was wiped out overnight.
Along with his power, people from the three Zhou clans were also annihilated.
Now she has no weakness at all.
She is the only old woman left in the entire Changping Zhou family.
Her husband and sons are all dragons who dominate Bintian.
And his grandson, who single-handedly helped ascend to the throne, was the culprit behind all these results.
If Queen Zhou knew that Zhu Youtang had such powerful power and decisive and ruthless tactics after he ascended the throne.
She will definitely not support Zhu Youtang to seize the throne.
But at the same time, Zhu Youtang, who had decisive and ruthless tactics, felt that no matter how poisonous his tactics were, he could not poison the grandmother in front of him.
Zhu Youtang was able to wipe out his uncle's three clans without blinking an eye because he was not familiar with these royal relatives at all.
We haven’t even met each other a few times, let alone have any feelings for each other.
The three nominal uncles of the Wang brothers have no blood relationship with him at all. They are his stepmother's brothers.
There is no psychological burden at all when killing.
But Zhou was different. What she killed was her own son!
If it were Zhu Youtang himself, he would never be able to do anything to his biological parents or his biological children.
Zhu Youtang looked at Mr. Zhou with an excited expression.
"Then you admit that you killed the late emperor?"
"Did you also tamper with the identity of the Queen Mother?"
"The eldest son of Concubine Wan Gui and the second son of Concubine Xian's Bai family were also tampered with by you?"
"The Wan Guifei you described to me is also you. Deliberately smearing me?"
"Wu raised me before, and you ordered it?"
"You raised me by your side just so that I could take over for you. That’s all?”
Zhou didn't speak, but closed her eyes again, unwilling to answer.
These two chapters look better together, so I posted them together. Tomorrow's update time is still the same, one chapter in the morning and one chapter in the afternoon. This month is over. When I wake up, there should be a month-end summary. Interested people can take a look and leave your valuable suggestions and comments. Finally, I wish that the monthly ticket can exceed 1,000 next month. I will update it on time every day and write more exciting plots!
