Just when Chang Sen was in chaos and was about to slap Jianwen's vital part with his palm, a voice faintly sounded:
"Your Majesty, do you still want to see your queen mother?"
The owner of this voice was Zhuang Jing, so Master Zhuang was naturally worried about his monarch meeting alone. In fact, this room was specially built, with hollow copper pipes under the bed extending to the outside of the wall. In this way, on the other side of the copper pipes outside the wall
One end, you can hear it clearly. At first Jianwen said, "Kill me," Master Zhuang didn't hear clearly. After hearing it, he realized what was going on and was shocked. Are you kidding me?
The success or failure of his plan all depends on Jianwen. If this guy burps, how will the rest of the scene be performed?
At this time, it was too late to stop him, not to mention that there was Chang Sen, the best master in the world, in the room. He had no choice but to shout, and used all the goods at the bottom of the box.
Sure enough, when he heard this call, Jianwen's eyes widened immediately. Chang Sen also woke up in time, quickly retracted his hand, knelt down and repeatedly said, "You deserve to die." But Jianwen was so stupid that he didn't pay attention to him at all.
They were all captivated by Zhuang Jing's voice, and their whole bodies froze.
Unknowingly, Emperor Jianwen burst into tears, and finally cried out like a cuckoo, "Queen Mother..." Immediately, his vision went dark, and he fell to the ground on his back. But with Chang Sen around, he would naturally be fine.
Chang Sen's body bounced, his arms relaxed, and he had already held Jianwen in his arms and laid him gently on the bed.
At this time, Zhuang Jing finally walked around to the door and hurriedly opened the door and came in. He saw Chang Sen's murderous eyes. However, Zhuang Jing couldn't care about him anymore. His eyes fell on Jianwen and asked repeatedly: "What's wrong with him?"
Really? Did you really kill him?"
"I'll kill you." Chang Sen suddenly raised his arm and grabbed Zhuang Jing's neck. Zhuang Jing's guard was stunned, and then screamed: "Let us go, sir!"
However, Zhuang Jing remained calm in the face of danger and waved his hand to signal his men not to mess around. Sure enough, the next moment, Chang Sen still let go of his hand and said bitterly: "Your Majesty was just excited for a moment and fainted." He said in a cold voice: "What did you just do?
Is it true? The Queen Mother is still alive?"
This Queen Mother is not that Queen Mother, and she is not Chang Sen’s sister Chang. As the eldest daughter of Chang Yuchun, Chang was appointed Crown Princess by Emperor Taizu after marrying Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao.
In the same year, she gave birth to Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, and later gave birth to Zhu Biao's third son, the future King of Wu Zhu Yun. However, she did not live long and died in the eleventh year of Hongwu. A few years later, Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty, also
Died young.
In this way, it turned out that the prince's concubine Lu was made the crown prince. Lu gave birth to four sons for Zhu Biao. The eldest of them was the second son of the emperor, Zhu Yunkang. After the death of his father and brother, Zhu Yunkang was made a princess by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As the emperor's grandson, he inherited the Ming Dynasty after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the first year of Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen honored his biological mother, Lu, as the empress dowager. She was also the empress dowager. At the same time, he also honored his aunt Chang as empress Xiaokang. Therefore, although Emperor Jianwen called him Uncle Chang Sen, he was not the son of Chang Sen, but the empress dowager Lu.
Born.
Of course, after Zhu Di succeeded in usurping the throne, he had already abolished the title given by Jianwen, demoted Chang, who had died long ago, to the crown prince, and demoted the other living sister-in-law, Empress Dowager Lu, to the crown prince Yiwen. At that time, Nanjing
The city was broken, Jianwen set fire to the palace, and the capital was in chaos. Empress Dowager Lu, her twelve-year-old son Xu Wang Zhu Yunxi, and his two-year-old grandson Zhu Wengui wanted to escape from the capital, but they were caught and given to Zhu Di for reward.
Zhu Di took her to his military camp and cried out that he was not allowed to start a rebellion. In order to protect her young children and grandchildren, Empress Dowager Lu had no choice but to be obedient and did not dare to complain at all. She also took the initiative to ask her and her children and grandchildren to guard the tomb of her husband Zhu Biao. Zhu Di
Since he was under the banner of being a Qing emperor rather than rebelling, he naturally could not harm his imperial sister-in-law. Seeing that she was so sensible, he naturally wanted her, so he honored her as the imperial sister-in-law, Crown Princess Yiwen, and demoted Zhu Yunxi to the title of county prince, so that the miserable couple could
Go and live in Yiwen Mausoleum.
As for Emperor Jianwen's son Zhu Wengui, Zhu Di sent him to live in the Zhongdu Palace on the grounds that he was still young and could not bear the hardships of wind and frost. Empress Dowager Lu was already a piece of meat on the chopping board and could only let it go and was escorted by a brigade of Jinyi guards.
Next, I went to live in Dongling, where Zhu Biao rested...
In fact, Zhu Di had the idea of using the emperor's sister-in-law to fish, and sent many people to closely monitor his emperor's sister-in-law. He really hoped to catch an old official of Jianwen who came to pay a private visit to the former empress dowager, and then followed the clues and caught Zhu Yunkang.
It is true that many people have been arrested over the years, but those loyal ministers would rather die than surrender. Even if they knew Jianwen's whereabouts, they would not disclose it...
As time passed, no one dared to approach Yi Wen’s mausoleum. Even the life and death of Empress Dowager Lu was unknown...
Over the years, Emperor Jianwen had countless thoughts of death. The reason why he was still alive was because he still had worries. There were three so-called worries. One was Prince Wenkui who escaped from the capital with him. He was only seven years old at the time and had not yet grown up.
Adults, but now that Wen Kui is in his twenties, Jianwen naturally no longer worries. The two are Wen Kui, the second son of the emperor. Jianwen has two sons in total. When Nanjing was destroyed, the second son was only two years old and could not be brought out.
In the capital, they could only cruelly leave him with his mother. Later, he was captured by Zhu Di and sent to Zhongdu under house arrest...
Jianwen's biggest concern was his mother, the Queen Mother Lu. When he left his mother and fled, it became his biggest heartache. When he dreamed about it at midnight, his clothes were wet with tears many times. He really wanted to see his mother again.
I really want to know how she has been living these years and how much she has suffered...
The reason why he was reluctant to leave the south of the Yangtze River and seek refuge in Nanyang or Yunnan and Guizhou was because the ministers still had thoughts of restoring the country, but for him, it was really because he couldn't let go of the worries in his heart...
"Ahem, I never tell lies." Zhuang Jing moved his burning throat with his hands and coughed repeatedly: "General, please take it easy next time. I can't bear your torment like this."
"You can really..." Chang Sen looked at him deeply, swallowed the last word, nodded and said, "Do you really want to arrange for the mother and son to meet?"
"When the time is right." Zhuang Jing said, Chang Sen's eyes turned cold and he quickly changed his words: "It's quite suitable now..."
"I want to accompany Your Majesty." Chang Sen said.
"That's not in line with the agreement." Zhuang Jing shook his head flatly and said, "No."
"Don't you want to get Jianwen's treasure?" Chang Sen said calmly.
"Oh..." After hearing the words "Jianwen treasure", two rays of light shone in Zhuang Jing's eyes. Folk legend has always said that after King Yan's army crossed the Yangtze River, Emperor Jianwen had a premonition that the capital was not safe, so in order to preserve his strength
After making a comeback, Qitai, Huang Zicheng and others loaded a dozen ships with the gold, silver and jewelry accumulated by Emperor Hongwu in the palace treasury, and transported them from the capital to somewhere in the south.
There are also legends that these treasures were so tempting that even the Dragon King was tempted. When the ships were sailing on the river, a hurricane suddenly broke out, sinking all the treasure ships to the bottom of the river, and they have disappeared without a trace since...
Some people also say that in fact there is no Jianwen treasure at all. When Nanjing was destroyed, Emperor Jianwen set fire to the palace, and even the treasures left by his ancestors were burned to the ground...
In short, there are all kinds of legends and strange stories, and many people are tempted to hunt for treasures, but they find nothing. Over time, the so-called Jianwen Treasures have become just a topic of conversation for the common people...
But Zhuang Jing knew that in the past ten years, Jinyiwei had never given up the pursuit of this treasure. Because real gold is not afraid of fire, after the fire in the palace was extinguished, Ji Gang was ordered to put the palace under martial law, firstly to find Jianwen's remains, and secondly to find the contents.
There were tens of millions of taels of gold and silver in the treasury, but nothing was found... But according to the eunuchs in charge of the treasury and the records in the palace, before the city of Nanjing was destroyed, there were tens of millions of taels of gold and silver alone in the inner treasury, and even more jewelry and jade.
There are countless of them. These things cannot disappear out of thin air, so there is only one explanation, that is, Emperor Jianwen transported them away in advance.
Zhu Di then handed over the task of tracking down Emperor Jianwen to Hu, and the task of tracking down the treasure fell on Ji Gang. Originally, he thought that people were alive, but treasures were dead, and they were treasures that could not be pulled by thousands of carts.
, it must be easier to find than others. Who knew that after more than ten years, I still found nothing...
Zhuang Jing was responsible for this incident at that time. In the years that followed, he and Ji Gang talked about this treasure several times, both lamenting that if they could find it and keep it for themselves, why would they have to ruin their reputation, extort money, and gain official reputation?
The idea brought in a lot of money, but it was just a drop in the bucket for such a costly business like rebellion.
After capturing Emperor Jianwen, Zhuang Jing also wanted to pry open his mouth, but Jianwen couldn't answer his questions, and Zhuang Jing didn't dare to torture him, so he had to give up the idea. Now that Chang Sen actually took the initiative to say it, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately
He calmed down and said, "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"
"If there is one person in this world who knows, it's me." Chang Sen said coldly: "Who am I? There is no reason to lie."
"That's true." Zhuang Jing nodded and asked, "Where is the treasure?"
"We can't say now," Chang Sen said slowly: "This money is His Majesty's special fund for restoring the country. When Your Majesty agrees to come out and rebuild the world, we will naturally take it out.
"This way there is no need to talk." Zhuang Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "You must hand over the treasure. I can follow Jianwen to Dongling."
"Hahaha," Chang Sen laughed loudly and said, "The toll is too expensive." He cupped his hands and walked out: "I feel relieved to see that you care so much about Your Majesty, and we will continue as agreed.
bring it on"
As he walked out, Chang Sen silently thought to himself, 'One, two, three,'. Before he could count to three, he heard a solemn voice from behind: "Wait a minute..."
There was an imperceptible sneer at the corner of Chang Sen's mouth, he stopped and turned his head, and said impatiently: "What?"
"General, don't worry, let's have a nice talk." Zhuang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Please come this way."
