The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

"I'm working hard outside the country. You just sit in the capital and enjoy the blessings. It's too late to connect with the driver. Zhu Gaochi! Do you not even have the ability to greet the driver, or are you just blind! No! Jun! Father!" In front of the officials, Zhu Di cursed regardless of his image.

When the two hats were buckled down, either one would kill the prince half to death.

If he admits that he is incompetent, then he will not have to take the position of prince; but if he does not admit that he is incompetent, the crime of "no ruler and father" will be even more serious.

In ancient times, "heaven, earth, monarch, relatives, and teachers" were emphasized.Below heaven and earth, the king is the most respected.It is a great crime to deceive the king.

The Holy Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and being unfilial is also a serious crime.

The crown prince is responsible for the two biggest crimes in the world. In front of the world, death is enough, so how can you be a crown prince?

However, the King of Han pretended to persuade him to make peace and said, "Father, please calm down. The prince and the masters of the East Palace may be busy with political affairs, and they were negligent and forgot the time."

One sentence is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.Zhu Di exploded immediately, his face was red to his neck, he was panting heavily, and his beard was trembling: "Zhu Gaochi! What's going on, talk back!"

In the ninth month of leap, when the "autumn tiger" was in full swing, the fat prince was drenched in sweat, knelt on the ground and shivered.I don't know if it was convulsions due to poor legs or feet, or fear.

I followed behind Heidan, also kneeling, not daring to make a sound.

When Shengjia returned to Beijing, the prince led all the officials out of the city to meet him, but it was too late.Instead, Sheng Jia was asked to stop outside the city and wait for them to come out.

I am puzzled.The date of returning to Beijing was notified in advance, and I kept communicating with Jinling on the way, as long as I left the city early in the morning and waited, how late could it be?

Hei Dan exchanged a glance with Hei Dan before, but Hei Dan obviously couldn't figure it out.However, it is impossible to ask the prince what happened right now, so we have to wait for the emperor to calm down first.

This time the emperor was very angry.

In the eyes of outsiders, it may be felt that the prince is in poor health, unable to exercise, and being late is not a particularly serious fault.

If it was the younger Zhu Di and the immature prince 12 years ago, if there was a little bit of etiquette difference, Zhu Di might not care so much.

But now, it's the aging emperor and the fledgling prince.

This is the second time that the prince has supervised the country.Although Zhu Di still held the great power tightly in his hands and only handed over some innocuous matters to the prince, it was almost equivalent to handing over the officials to the prince initially, allowing the prince and ministers to work together.

If the running-in is not good, the prince will not be able to be the emperor in the future; but if the running-in is too good, the current emperor will lose power.

That supreme seat will one day belong to the crown prince.The officials recognized the seat, not who was sitting in the seat - no one knew this better than Zhu Di, who won the throne by robbing.

So he is afraid.

Fearing that the ministers would be fools on the wall, they would look out to the prince, causing himself to be emptied.

He was afraid that one day the prince didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to take over early, but at that time he had no one available.

He couldn't bear any sign of neglect from the prince and his officials.

Under such circumstances, the prince was late to meet the driver, and it was like sending the emperor himself to the muzzle of the emperor.Not to mention that Lu Jieyu's case had made the emperor suspicious of the East Palace, and the King of Han continued to slander him along the way.

Zhu Di decided to use actions to remind everyone, especially the prince: I am the emperor.Now, only I am the emperor.

The way he most often uses to remind people is to kill people.

The killing of Fang Xiaoru when he ascended the throne was a reminder, the killing of Geng Tong in the tenth year of Yongle was a reminder, and the killing of Zhou Xin a few days ago was also a reminder.

However, the prince cannot be killed right now, and the ministers who assist the prince are all important ministers of the country, so they cannot be killed.In a fit of anger, Zhu Di ordered Ji Gang to send all the officials of the East Palace related to Yingjia to the Imperial Prison for investigation.

The day's triumphal ceremony was completed according to the procedure, the emperor did not have a good face throughout the whole process, rushed back to the palace angrily, and punished the prince to kneel in the Taimiao for a whole day.

Although the prince was only punished to kneel, Heidan had to kneel with him—there was no reason for a father to kneel and a son to stand.

The emperor was probably really angry this time, and he didn't even intend to be polite so that the grandson didn't have to kneel. The innocent black man who had just returned from his tour of the north just knelt here without a rest.

So the first time the Crown Princess and I reunited after a long absence was not to talk in the East Palace, but to take care of our respective husbands in the Taimiao.

It is said that the prince is benevolent, and the prince is really benevolent.I was covered in hot sweat and cold sweat, I couldn't even kneel stably, and I wanted the princess to send someone to inquire about how the masters in the Eastern Palace were doing, whether they were tortured, and how much they suffered.

The Crown Princess sighed lightly, said nothing, and proceeded with the arrangement.Not long after, the servant came back to report that Huang Huai, Yang Pu, Jin Wen and other masters had been arrested and sent to prison.

When the prince heard this, tears rolled down his chubby face: "The imperial prison is dark... and the loyal masters have been implicated."

The Crown Princess supported him with one hand, freed the other hand to wipe his tears with a silk handkerchief, and said softly, "Your Highness, first find a way to protect yourself, and you still have the heart to cry for the masters. Save Your Highness himself, Only then can the masters be saved."

There are many people in Taimiao, and there are many eyes and ears from all walks of life. It is inconvenient for Heidan and I to ask why the prince came late, so there is nothing we can do except kneel down.

Later, Concubine Guo and others brought Zhu Zhanyu and other emperors and grandchildren to kneel with them, but the prince sent them all back, thinking it would cause more chaos.

Among the bear children, I saw Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanqian. In less than two years, they sprang up like bamboo joints. They lost their childishness and looked like little boys.

Zhu Laosan still looks like a little master, and he will never dare to make mistakes in a place like Taimiao.Zhu Xiaowu met my eyes, ran up to me and made a funny face, which made people laugh at the same time.

Although the emperor didn't say that eating and drinking was not allowed, the prince and Heidan were afraid of giving others trouble, so they didn't eat or drink.I filled a clean silk handkerchief with water, and squeezed it hard while pretending to wipe Heidan's face, barely moistening his lips.

After all, Heidan was practicing martial arts, and his body was still strong enough. The prince was kneeling, and when the sun was about to set, he swayed and passed out.Everyone was in a hurry, calling for the imperial physician, and notifying the emperor, and another team of eunuchs carried, helped, and pulled, and it took a lot of trouble to send the prince back to the East Palace.

Heidan said to the crown princess: "Father did not finish kneeling, the son will do it for me." The crown princess nodded and followed the prince back to the East Palace.

The emperor still has no will to avoid kneeling.

At night, apart from Heidan and me, there are only a few eunuchs and guards left in the Taimiao.

I knelt down next to Heidan, Heidan found his hand from under his sleeve, and wanted to shake my hand, but when he touched my hand, he froze for a moment and turned to look at me.

I smiled, gave him what was in my hand, and blinked at him.

The corner of Heidan's mouth curled up, and he accepted the few pieces of caramel, pretended to lower his head and cough, and secretly swallowed the candy into his mouth, covering his face with his big sleeves.

Quietly asked me: "Where did you come from?"

I secretly made a "five" gesture.

Heitan laughed softly and said, "Stinky boy, he has a conscience."

Candles were shining brightly in front of us, resplendent with gold and jade, and portraits of Emperor Gao and the ancestors of the Zhu family hung around us.

Heidan said softly: "My ancestors are above me, I wish the East Palace is safe and sound, I wish Zhanji and Ruowei, stay together forever, live forever, and have a lot of children and grandchildren."

"Is it so sweet after eating candy? Your majesty punished you to kneel, not for you to make a wish." I laughed at him softly.

Heidan pushed me and said with a smile: "You may be one soon. There are not many chances for your girl to come to Taimiao."

Then I wished: "My ancestors are above me, bless the East Palace safe and sound, bless my grandson and Ruowei, live a long life, be united forever, and have a family full of children and grandchildren."

The long night is long and not alone.

The two people intertwined their fingers and knelt quietly in the hall, like two small boats tied together in the vast sea.

That night, because Heidan and I were forced to kneel in the Taimiao, we became the only idlers in the palace.

The emperor, the East Palace, the Palace of the King of Han, and the civil and military dignitaries of the Manchu Dynasty were all busy around due to the changes during the day.

The king of Han wanted to make trouble, Donggong wanted to go down the well to save people, while all the officials were worried about their lives and future, while racking their brains for their masters.

And the emperor summoned someone that night.
