Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 40 Is Zhu Qizhen the Empress Dowager's Son? (Three thousand characters please collect!)

Xuande two years!

Zhu Qiyu remembered, in the record about Xu Zhen, this Xu Zhen disappeared in the second year of Xuande, the record is dead!
And the second year of Xuande was the year Zhu Qizhen was born!
There were rumors in later generations that Zhu Qizhen was not the son of the Empress Dowager Sun. During the Xuande period, Empress Hu was controversial because she had no heirs.It happened that the maid was pregnant, so Empress Dowager Sun brought the maid into the palace to raise the fetus. After giving birth to a baby boy, she killed the mother and kept the son, and lied about her birth.

Imperial physician Xu Zhen died that year, and in that year, Xu Biao entered the Prince Qin's Mansion as a good doctor. He was promoted to the imperial hospital after ten years of orthodoxy, and then his career soared!
No wonder Xu Biao would never confess to Queen Mother Sun, because that matter not only involved his family, once the incident happened, it would not only be his small family, but his entire Xu family that would be unlucky!He would rather sacrifice his own family than take the whole family to be buried with him!
No wonder Xu Biao dared to poison the emperor, no wonder the Empress Dowager Sun was not worried about Xu Biao's betrayal, because the Xu family had long been tied up with Zhu Qizhen!If Zhu Qizhen is alive, they will be fine, if Zhu Qizhen dies, they will all have to be buried with him!So no matter how I win them over, they will never become my confidantes!

Got it all!I have fed dogs painstakingly for many years!

But evidence is still needed to convince the people of the world that Zhu Qizhen is a bastard!
"Xu Biao, you hid it deep enough!" Zhu Qiyu turned his eyes and looked at Nie Shanggong: "Shanggong, where were you in the second year of Xuande?"

Nie Shanggong lowered his head and couldn't see her face clearly: "The maidservant has been in the palace since she was a child, and thanks to Empress Dowager Zhang's perseverance, she is a female official in the palace."

"I ask you, where were you in the second year of Xuande?"

"My servant forgot, maybe I'm serving Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace." Nie Shanggong answered irrelevantly.

"No! It's not that you forgot, but you dare not say it! You don't want to say it!"

"In the second year of Xuande, you were serving in the palace of the Empress Dowager!"

"In that year, the Empress Dowager gave birth to the Supreme Emperor and Zhu Qizhen, the eldest son of the emperor, right? Because of this, in the third year of Xuande, the first emperor abolished Empress Hu on the grounds of childlessness, and changed the empress dowager to be the empress! Since then Afterwards, the Empress Dowager will be the Empress of the Central Palace, and the Supreme Emperor will be the eldest son of the late Emperor! Isn't that right?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes reflected excitement: "But! The Supreme Emperor is not the empress dowager's own son at all! She was adopted! What a civet cat for the crown prince! You take the first emperor for a fool? Take civil and military officials for a fool? Use a bastard How dare you replace your son-in-law!"

Later generations of historical data are skeptical about the parent-child relationship between the Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen, and Xu Biao's father, Xu Zhen, died too strangely. After repeated scrutiny, it can be concluded that the Queen Mother Sun has no children. Therefore, in the third year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong, in the name of Empress Hu's childlessness, was downgraded to concubine. The Empress Dowager sits in the middle palace and is the mother of the world.

If it is proved that Zhu Qizhen is not the son of the Empress Dowager Sun, then Zhu Qizhen will lose his status as the son of the eldest son!He became the same as him, a bastard, so what reason would the nobles and civil officials abolish him and welcome another bastard?

In that case, the huge gap between him and Zhu Qizhen will be bridged!Even, he is better than Zhu Qizhen, at least he didn't lose power and humiliate the country in the Tumubao battle!
Zhu Qizhen's innate status as a concubine who is aloof and unattainable will also be thrown into the dust, because you belong to a maidservant girl!It's the bastard!You are not worthy to be an emperor!
"Nie Shanggong, answer me!" Zhu Qiyu took a sudden step forward.

"Your Majesty thinks too much. The Supreme Emperor is naturally the empress dowager's son. It is absolutely true. The records in the palace are clear, and the old people in the palace and the old officials outside the palace can also prove it. What's more, the empress dowager Zhang was still alive at that time. What happened? Your Majesty, please don’t think about it too much, the Supreme Emperor is definitely the empress dowager’s son.”

Nie Shanggong's face suddenly twitched: "My maidservant remembered. In the second year of Xuande, the imperial physician Xu Zhen molested a court lady and was strangled to death by a powerful man ordered by the late emperor. She announced that she had died of illness. Just now, this maidservant was in a daze, so I forgot."

"Nie Shanggong, are you teasing me? It's just a court lady, even if she was molested by the imperial physician, with the personality of the late emperor, she would not directly strangle the imperial physician to death. The late emperor was fun, but he was not a violent king." Zhu Qiyu didn't believe it.

"What if the one molesting is a slave girl?" Nie Shanggong really went all out, and exchanged Zhu Qizhen's Zhengshuo with a lifetime of innocence. What does Zhu Qizhen have to do with her?
Zhu Qiyu has been back to the palace for 22 years, and she has never heard any gossip about Nie Shanggong. She has never disdain other eunuchs and maids for food. It can be said that her reputation is excellent. She is willing to bet on her reputation, which shows that Zhu Qizhen Zheng Shuo is more important than her reputation!
"Nie Shanggong said that Xu Zhen molested you, so the late emperor strangled him?"

"Yes!" Nie Shanggong admitted frankly.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Biao suddenly, Xu Biao had already collapsed, bleeding everywhere with eyes.This reminded him of the scene when he traveled through time, it was the result of overdoing it!Damn Xu Biao and Ai Chonggao, you killed me!

"Xu Biao, I will give you a chance to save your nine clans! Do you still cherish it?" Zhu Qiyu must dig out this secret, which is related to the throne. As long as Zhu Qizhen's status as the son-in-law of Zhu Qizhen is broken, what else can he argue with me?

But Xu Biao spoke intermittently: "I am innocent..."

"Shut up! You're not guilty? It's just a minor ailment, but you gave me a great tonic! You harmed me, and when you quibbled, you were plausible! How dare you say you're not guilty! Good! I'll let your nine clans accompany you to hell! You would rather die than live!"

Zhu Qiyu's face was full of hostility: "Liu Xiang, go to transfer Xuande's archives for one to three years, and all files must be transferred! I want to check! Go!"

"Jin Zhong, let an imperial doctor come in and drag him down to treat him. It's too cheap for him to die like this. If you dare to harm the emperor, I should give him melons and vines!"

Then he looked at Nie Shanggong suddenly: "Shanggong, I know that you grew up under the empress dowager's lap since you were young, and you were the head of the female officials in the palace during the Hongxi period. You have a lot of prestige in the palace, you are fair, and you are dedicated to the public. Why? Are you against me everywhere? I think that being an emperor is better than the emperor, and I will never neglect the empress dowager or the prince. I have never criticized the palace people and harmed the world. Why did the palace target me?"

Nie Shanggong bowed his head and remained silent.

"Shang Gong just said that the imperial physician Xu Zhen was molesting you, and the late emperor sent a strong man to strangle him to death. Let me ask you, how old were you in the second year of Xuande? Are you close to thirty? There are so many maids in the palace, and he turned a blind eye to them. The leader of molesting female officials, is he tired of his job? Or is he looking for death on purpose? Shang Gong, why do you lie at the expense of your own innocence? Why?"

"I know that you are not afraid of pain or punishment, and you don't have any family members outside the palace, so you seem to be invulnerable. But you attach great importance to your reputation. If I strip you of your clothes and let you stand in front of the Meridian Gate, what will you do?" How about it?"

Zhu Qiyu's tone was dark: "Shanggong, tell me, is the Supreme Emperor the empress dowager's own son?"

"The Supreme Emperor is the empress dowager's son, there is absolutely no mistake!" Nie Shanggong said decisively.

"The mouth is hard enough! Someone, strip off Nie Shanggong's clothes and let her stand in front of the door! Didn't she say that Xu Zhen was molesting her? Now there are hundreds of doctors kneeling outside the door, I want to see, Who will tease you!"

Nie Shanggong shed two lines of clear tears, trembling all over, allowing the little eunuch to pull her down.

Zhu Qiyu saw that she was so decisive, and felt that it was not simple: "Wait a minute, Shang Gong, you can be regarded as watching me grow up, and I have no unresolvable enmity with you, why don't you just invite me?"

Nie Shanggong didn't say a word.

Zhu Qiyu was still not reconciled: "Your family name is Nie? Where is it from?"

"My maidservant's surname is Nie. I can't remember where her family is. She was sent to the palace since she was a child. Thanks to the favor of the Empress Dowager Zhang, she was raised under her knees. Later, she was valued by the Empress Dowager and served in the Empress Dowager's palace." Nie Shang Gong's voice was slightly choked.

Obviously, Zhu Qiyu hit her on the seven inches, and she was not afraid of anything, but wanted a clear name.If she was stripped naked and stood in the crowd, she would have to die.

"The empress dowager entered the palace at the age of ten, were you in the palace at that time?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"exist."

"Why don't you leave the palace?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

"I have no family members outside the palace, and I don't have any worries. When I get old, I don't want to make troubles, so I stay in the palace to serve. Besides, Empress Dowager Zhang treats my servants as much as a mountain, so I should do my best." Nie Shanggong answered rightly.

"Haven't you ever met an eunuch?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.

"Slaves dare not disturb the palace and break the rules of the palace!" Nie Shanggong said urgently.

"It's just that you haven't looked for it before?" Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Announce a stable woman to enter the palace and check Nie Shanggong's body!"

The court lady who gave birth to Zhu Qizhen is most likely Nie Shanggong!
Zhu Qizhen is the heir of the late emperor, and I am also the son of the late emperor. She was born in the palace of the empress dowager, so she should be treated equally.Moreover, she has no children, does not involve the inheritance of the family business, is not greedy for money or fame, and has a good reputation in the palace, but she is targeting me, helping the empress dowager to harm me, It's too contradictory to regard Zhu Qizhen's Zheng Shuo very seriously.

"Your Majesty, how can the servant He De be blessed by the Emperor Xuanzong? How will the Supreme Emperor be born? Please don't kill the servant, the servant is just a rough envoy, and the Empress Dowager Zhang will not abandon her and promote her all the way. Only then can I have today .Your Majesty sees your servants as bored, just give them a white silk and a glass of sake, and your servants will never complain, so why use your servants to defile the Empress Dowager?"

Nie Shanggong kowtowed: "For eight years, Your Majesty has always been suspicious, thinking that someone is harming Your Majesty, and you think that the Empress Dowager is not your biological mother, so you are always on guard, but in fact, the Empress Dowager always protects Your Majesty, treating her as her own child. The slaves see it, so they will take care of you." Knowing that His Majesty is sick, His Majesty is suspicious. If you don’t kill all the suspicious people in your heart, you will not let it go. So what if you kill them all, they will appear in your dreams. This is a demon. As long as Your Majesty is alive, he will See them!"

"Bold maidservant, dare to curse Your Majesty!" Jin Zhong slapped Nie Shanggong across the face.

But Nie Shanggong stared at Zhu Qiyu unconvinced: "Your Majesty is ill. No matter what the slaves say, Your Majesty will not believe it, but only what you think in your heart. Your Majesty must not be able to sleep at night. Fear, fear, violence, Want to kill everyone you see! Don't you? Your Majesty is sick!"

"Kill your lowly servant girl!" Jin Zhong pocketed his head and slapped his face a few more times, and was about to kill him.

But Zhu Qiyu stopped him, with an indifferent expression: "She is forcing me to kill her! Nie Shanggong, you are in a hurry, scolding me for being sick, and provoking me to kill you. But I won't, I am a benevolent king, a benevolent king through the ages! Come here , strip her naked, and stand at the door! Jin Zhong, you stare at her and don’t allow her to commit suicide! I’m going to dig out all the secrets in her belly!”

"Why hasn't Liu Xiang come back yet? Go find an old eunuch again and summon him for questioning!" Zhu Qiyu couldn't wait to check the archives. As long as Zhu Qizhen's status as the son-in-law of Zhu Qizhen is stripped off, he will be invincible!
