Prince of Chaos

Chapter 96 Concubine Zhou Duan

Concubine Zhou Duan is also a tragic figure in history, but she lived a very long life, and when she lived so long, she even boiled the Ming Dynasty to death.

Her son Zhu Changhao was also miserable.After he was born, he was not favored by Emperor Wanli, and he had not yet chosen a marriage at the age of 25.All the ministers put up a memorial to ask Emperor Wanli to complete Zhu Changhao's marriage, but Emperor Wanli acted as if he hadn't heard it, as if he didn't have such a son.So he was as embarrassed as Zhu Changluo's true self.

But Zhu Changhao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has asked the Ministry of Households for marriage expenses almost every day since he became an adult.After getting 18 taels of silver, he hid it in the palace, and licked his face and said that this amount of money was not enough to buy a crown suit.The same as Emperor Wanli, they all fell into the eyes of money.

In the seventh year of Tianqi, Zhu Changhao was sealed to Hanzhong.After this guy arrived in Hanzhong, he actually practiced Buddhism and was not interested in women.

But the essence of love for money is still not lost, and he has completely inherited the good genes of Emperor Wanli. In his fief, in addition to paying the court tax, he also added taxes in various names such as salt tax, which increased the burden on the people in the fief. burden.I don't know how he cultivated this Buddha, so he doesn't have any kindness.

As a result, he was punished in the 16th year of Chongzhen.When the building was about to collapse, these clan vassals raised as pigs naturally became gold coin boxes for the rebels from all walks of life to gain experience. It would be so cool to chop one up and explode one by one!

Just when Li Zicheng led the peasant uprising army to defeat Sun Chuanting, occupied Xi'an, and began to divide his troops to capture various state capitals in Shaanxi, Zhu Changhao, who founded Hanzhong, was terrified. Hanzhong General Zhao Guangyuan fled to Chongqing under the escort of Zhao Guangyuan.

As a result, Skynet was sparse but not leaky.In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong broke through Chongqing, and the desperate Zhu Changhao and his entourage were captured.

Zhang Xianzhong first beheaded Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, and then he was about to behead Zhu Changhao.But this vision didn't make Zhang Xianzhong stop thinking about making achievements.Zhang Xianzhong still beheaded Zhu Changhao, his family members and Chongqing officials.

But after the hacking, Zhang Xianzhong still did a "good thing". Instead of killing the Ming army prisoners, he cut off the right arms of more than 3 captured Ming soldiers and released them. I don't know what Zhang Xianzhong was thinking. ?Isn't it good that these 3 people have been included?In the final analysis, it is still a bandit mentality, just to grab a wave after the rebellion. It is no different from the landowners, scholar-bureaucrats, and suzerains who exploited the common people in the Ming Dynasty.

However, now Zhu Changhao's chances of playing are a bit slim.Because Concubine Zheng is about to go mad at Concubine Zhou Duan!

Now, Concubine Zhou Duan might not be able to stand it anymore, if she really couldn't stand it, then Zhu Changhao might not even have the chance to be born.It's quite pitiful when you think about it, but when you think about the shitty things Zhu Changhao did in the future, it's actually good that he wasn't born, so as not to harm the people.

Concubine Zhou Duan was worse than Concubine Gong, Zhu Changluo's mother. She had no status, so she lived in a small palace in a corner of the Forbidden City. The name of this palace was Yanqing Palace.

Yanqing Hall is located on the east side of Yuhua Pavilion, with a width of three rooms, a rolling shed resting on the top of the mountain, Yanqing Gate in front, five side halls in the east and west outside the gate, and a palace wall in the south, which is a dead end.The first way to enter Yanqing Hall is through the small door in the northeast corner of the courtyard of Yuhua Pavilion, or through the small door in the southwest corner of the courtyard of Taiji Hall.The whole palace looks narrow and cramped in the resplendent Forbidden City, without any imposing manner.

However, it is such a narrow and insignificant small palace, but here comes a person full of imposing manner!

Concubine Zheng was escorted by the eunuch, and the guard of honor of imperial concubine came to the front of this small hall.

Concubine Zheng got off the bus and walked after arriving at Yanqing Hall.But this walk is definitely not out of respect for Concubine Zhou Duan, but because the road in front of Yanqing Hall is too narrow to pass her imperial concubine's guard of honor.So, I had to walk in.

After entering the Yanqing Hall, Concubine Zhou Duan rushed out to greet her. When she saw Concubine Zheng, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "My concubine pays respects to your concubine."

But Concubine Zheng didn't look at Concubine Zhou Duan directly.Concubine Zheng looked at the flowers and plants decorations in Yanqing Hall, and Concubine Zheng frowned involuntarily, she said: "I am temporarily in charge of the Sixth Palace, but I don't know that Concubine Zhou is living in such a miserable life. I have really wronged you."

Concubine Zhou Duan quickly replied: "The concubine is not bitter."

Concubine Zheng looked at Concubine Zhou Duan's delicate and pitiful appearance, and her submissive answer, which made Concubine Zheng immediately think of Zhu Changluo's low-born mother.This is what Concubine Gong looks like!
Therefore, seeing Concubine Zhou Duan's appearance, Zheng Guifei couldn't help being angry in her heart, she wished to kill Concubine Zhou Duan directly on the spot, lest this hateful foxy son would seduce Emperor Wanli without knowing it!
Concubine Zheng shook her body, and the eunuch behind her immediately moved a chair to catch her. Concubine Zheng sat on the chair and looked at Concubine Zhou Duan. Concubine Zheng said, "It's not bitter. Tell me, why did you seduce the emperor!"

Concubine Zhou Duan was scared out of her wits by Concubine Zheng's accusation, but Concubine Zhou Duan is now in the midst of her favor. Although she was afraid in her heart, she still pretended to answer: "No concubine. Concubine serves the emperor, concubine is a concubine." The responsibility of the emperor. It is also the blessing of the concubine that the emperor favors the concubine."

This time, Concubine Zheng became even more angry, "Blessings? Are you mocking me for not having any blessings?"

Concubine Zhou Duan shook her body in fright, "I dare not."

Concubine Zheng snorted: "You don't dare, I think you are very brave, what should you do to seduce the emperor?"

Concubine Zhou Duan's tears of grievance were about to fall, Concubine Zhou Duan said firmly, "No concubine!"

Concubine Zheng is so angry, it's really the opposite!Now a cat or a dog dares to talk back to her, it seems that he is too easy to talk in the Forbidden City.

Concubine Zheng's heart flashed with anger, her phoenix eyes were full of anger, and she said directly to the eunuch beside her, "Slap!"

After Zheng Guifei's order was received, the eunuch immediately grabbed the petite Concubine Zhou Duan like a tiger, and hit Concubine Zhou Duan with a few big slaps. face.

Concubine Zhou Duan screamed after being beaten, and shouted: "Young imperial concubine, please forgive me."

But Concubine Zheng was unmoved, and still let the eunuch slap her viciously. Hearing this crisp slap, Concubine Zheng felt that the resentment in her heart was a little less, which made her even more excited to hear the slap The sound continues.

Concubine Zhou Duan was beaten beyond recognition, her mouth was bleeding, and finally she glared at Concubine Zheng, and cursed Concubine Zheng viciously: "You will never be a queen in this lifetime, you will die a terrible death!"

Concubine Zheng was so angry that her teeth hurt, and Concubine Zheng said viciously: "Hit me! Hit me hard! Kill this bitch!"

And at this moment, Emperor Wanli didn't know who had heard the news, so he hurried over. When he arrived at the Yanqing Palace, he happened to see Zheng Guifei commanding the eunuchs to beat Concubine Zhou Duan severely like a madman.

Emperor Wanli was enraged by this bloody side, and Emperor Wanli shouted: "Stop! Stop it!"
