Chapter 1103: Third Young Master
The Zheng Wangfu in the capital was not specially built, but the original prince's mansion was repaired, next to the Forbidden City.
Prince Zheng Zhu Zhanjun ranked second, qualified to supervise the country after leaving Beijing on behalf of the emperor, with a special status, but he usually had nothing to do, and recently he was worried about Princess Zheng's personal maid.
A few years after Zhu Zhanjun got married, there was a woman named Chu Ge among his wife Princess Zheng's maids, who was born white and very delicate, gentle and gentle, good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sweet and diligent and capable, there was no one in King Zheng's mansion who didn't like her.
Princess Zheng grew up with her since she was a child, and she was like a sister, so Chu Ge's status in the palace was similar to Zhu Zhanjun, which was different.
Chu Ge is as beautiful as a pot of daffodils, noble in nature, and unwilling to commit to Zhu Zhanjun, the king of Zheng who is irritable by nature.
Princess Zheng knew that her husband was known as Huahua Tai Sui outside, and it was impossible not to covet Chu Ge's beauty, so she kept Chu Ge by her side all the time, and repeatedly secretly warned Chu Ge to be more vigilant, which made Zhu Zhanjun never succeed.
Chu Ge, who turned seventeen last month, became more and more delicate, she and Zhu Zhanyan, the king of Jing next door, were of the same age, and they fell in love with each other when they met in private.
Princess Zheng, as a sister-in-law, saw that they were eyebrows, and once half-truthed and half-falsely joked that she wanted to recognize Chu Ge as her sister-in-law, and then be a daughter-in-law for her seventh brother.
Zhu Zhanjun, who learned of this, not only did not restrain his lustful heart, but his thoughts became more intense, and he often took the opportunity to talk to Chu Ge, and moved his hands and feet, and every time he was left with a straight face by Chu Ge and without pretense of anger.
I didn't want Zhu Zhanjun to find an opportunity, and today when the princess entered the palace, he hurriedly slipped into the main room, and saw that the bed was low, and two embroidered shoes with foundation were exposed outside the tent, and he knew that it was Chu Ge.
Chu Ge was not feeling well today, and Zhu Zhanjun was not at home, so she was waiting in the princess's room. After doing needlework for a while, I was a little tired, and I dozed off in a daze.
Zhu Zhanjun tiptoed into the room, gently closed the door, and came to the tent excitedly, opened the tent and took a look.
Zhu Zhanjun, who couldn't bear it, relied on his height and strength, and tore open the palace clothes on Chu Ge's chest, and it was too late for Chu Ge to wake up. Pity her desperate struggle and crying, and she couldn't escape Zhu Zhanjun's clutches.
After succeeding, Zhu Zhanjun, who was satisfied, thought that Chu Ge was his own person, and he was not comforted, so he left the person behind, humming a little song proudly.
I don't want Chu Ge to have a strong temperament, cry with grief and indignation, feel that I don't have the face to see King Jing again, and I don't want to live in the world and become King Zheng's pet. simply hanged herself on Princess Zheng's big bed.
In the afternoon, King Jing Zhu Zhanqi came to visit Chu Ge with Princess Zheng, and was shocked to see the corpse hanging on it, and suddenly lost his mind. Regardless of anyone's dissuasion, he ran into the palace in one breath to find the Queen Mother to cry.
The queen mother was shocked, the palace since the Hongxi Dynasty was very clean, and there were few deaths in the palace. Immediately issued an order to the Zongren Mansion to investigate thoroughly, so Xu Qingtang and Zhang Fu personally rushed to King Zheng's Mansion to inspect it, although they were obstructed by Zhu Zhanjun. Xu Qingtang, who was ordered by the Empress Dowager, ignored it.
From the messy bedding on the big bed like this, Xu Zhang and the others had already guessed a few points, and ordered the servants to check the corpse, and saw that the lower body was covered with blood, obviously raped before his death, and he committed suicide because of shame and anger, and who did this do not need to ask? The whole palace is a real man.
Of course, we have to find evidence, Xu Qingtang ordered a careful search, and quickly broke out a button from Chu Ge's tightly held hand, and wrote the word "Zheng" on it, which was the golden button that the Empress Dowager Zhang cast collectively for all the princes in the palace when she celebrated her birthday this year.
Xu Qingtang, a British prince who was over sixty years old, did not give Prince Zheng face at all, and insisted on asking for comparison, and sure enough, Zhu Zhanjun was missing a button on his clothes.
He also ordered Jinyi Wei to arrest people, and Xu Qingtang actually took off King Zheng's pants and saw that there were blood stains.
Zhang Fu saw that he was so old and strong, and he was the first, so he couldn't say anything? can only smile bitterly and sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanjun did not interrogate, and immediately admitted that he did it, and threatened that a palace maid could do anything to me?
Princess Zheng didn't expect that it was really her husband's doing, and she couldn't hide this matter, crying and begging Xu Qingtang and Zhang Fu's subordinates to show mercy.
Xu Qingtang planned to enforce the law impartially, but after all, he was a prince, and the matter was important, so after listening to Zhang Fu's construction, he sent someone to call his son.
Xu Hao, who came over, was also very angry, and simply beheaded Zhu Zhanjun with a sword according to his old temper, but the Ming Dynasty was also a society ruled by law, so they went to Cining Palace and asked the Queen Mother and the Emperor to decide.
Zhu Zhanji pondered again and again, and issued a holy decree, "The state decrees, the prince and the common people should be treated as one, and the forcible rape is forced to death, and the crime is heavy." Zhu Zhanjun, as the emperor, the prince of the emperor, does not cherish himself, acts boldly and recklessly, careless of human life, if he is treated lightly, how can he stabilize the country and convince the people. Especially in the midst of the national mourning, the mourning is not full, and the matter is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, and the weight of the crime cannot be forgiven!
The Zongren Mansion and the Criminal Department were strictly discussed, and the results were drawn up, and the prince was dismissed and imprisoned for three years. Other matters will be discussed by the Zongren Mansion and the Criminal Department. Oracle. ”
This is the emperor's draft, Zhang Fu went to find someone to polish it with both hands, and then sent it to the cabinet.
After dealing with his younger brother's matter, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief and endured that he didn't stretch his waist.
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, and the ministers will take their leave!"
Xu Hao walked out of the Qianqing Palace with his father, I don't know if this happened in history, in all fairness, Emperor Xuande handled it very fairly, and he was able to count the state funeral, which is not harsh.
After announcing to the world, Zhu Zhanjun's prince is abolished, of course, his son can inherit the prince, there is no way, who makes the emperor's bloodline.
Historically, Zhu Zhanjun did not dare to be presumptuous in the Xuande Dynasty, but after Yingzong succeeded to the throne, he killed people several times with a rod, which had a bad impact. Ming Yingzong arranged for the imperial historian Zhou Ying to be the long history of Zheng Wangfu, so Zhu Zhanjun's behavior was restrained.
Zhu Zhanji in history brazenly killed his uncle's family, and took advantage of this incident to establish a powerful clan, so that the kings were honest, and now everyone is alive and well, probably Zhu Zhanjun didn't expect Chu Ge to commit suicide, in short, he lost his sense of awe and took the blame on himself.
Xu Hao can't help but ponder this matter, it's too strange, the fourth prince Zhu Zhanyin died violently, and now the second Zhu Zhanjun is imprisoned, and the two sons of the widow Li are finished, it seems that it still originates from the court grievances of the Zhu Gaochi period.
At this point, he was secretly vigilant in his heart. In the end, Emperor Xuande is not Emperor Hongxi, and he is very decisive.
When I got home, I happened to meet my youngest son Xu Xuan, who was originally called 'Xu', because her biological mother Zhiqing invited a fortune teller, saying that it was not very good, and changed her name when she was four years old.
Xu Hao asked about his son's homework, and waved his hand because of a bunch of things, "Let's go play." ”
Xu Xuan and the little maid came to the main garden. Seeing Xue Yu running out next to the second brother, Xu Xuan shouted: "What are you doing?" ”
Xue Yu stopped, he is Zhulan's youngest son, he grew up with Xu Yu since he was a child, and the eldest brother Xue Yun became a teacher, and said: "The third lady asked me to ask, did the team borrowed from the Zhu Mansion come." ”
"What a team." Xu Xuan asked.
Xue Yu said impatiently: "Chengguo's troupe." ”
Xu Xuan said: "It's not festive, what is the troupe doing?" ”
Xue Yu couldn't help laughing: "It's not serious. The second master wanted to listen to the play, and he replied to his wife's invitation. ”
"Oh." Xu Xuan saw that his wife agreed, and let Xue Yu out, and the boss was unhappy in his heart. I thought to myself, Xu Yu and I are both my father's sons, why is he so happy? What he wants, there is no one in the family who does not follow.
In fact, Xu Hao and his wife are the same to him and Xu Yu, and Zhiqing's status is high. Xu Xuan has never suffered any grievances since he was a child. But in the eyes of Xu Qingtang and his wife, Xu Xuan naturally can't be compared with Xu Yu, no matter what he says, he is also a concubine.
and Xu Yu is naturally smart and hard-working. Xu Xuan can't compare with him in this regard, he always eats Xu Qingtang's scolding if he doesn't do his homework well, and he is not allowed to do anything he wants. Ordinary people are like this, and it is a mistake to study badly.
It's just that Xu Xuan is the most temperamental, and he has a bad personality, so his brothers and sisters can't get along with him, and his sisters such as Yun Su Yunyu don't like to play with him, and they all think he has something to do, so he has developed a kind of character that is withdrawn and stubborn.
As the saying goes, dragons give birth to nine sons, and the children are different, not to mention that Xu Hao is not a dragon, and he is not a superman or an educator, his children have all kinds of advantages and disadvantages, normal laws of nature.
Xu Xuan didn't have any friends in the inner house, and the two or three friends he made in the school supervised by Xu Qingtang had similar personalities and temperaments, and they often turned their faces because of trivial things.
There are only two people in the entire Xu Mansion who are the most friendly with him, one is the master Xia Qi, and the other is Zhiqing's maiden nephew Mu Qiong, among which the master Xia Qi is the most good at welcoming him, and Xu Xuan also trusts him the most.
Xu Xuan didn't enter the inner house, and habitually went to the copywriting room again, and Xia Jue was writing a letter in the house. Seeing that the third young master was coming, he hurriedly put down the brush, stood up and said with a smile: "Oops! Why didn't the third master come to me for a long time? Nearly suffocated me. The lights rang last night, and this morning I called the magpie for a long time, what kind of happy event should I have, it turned out that the third master was coming, and it was shining! ”
Xia Qi treated a seven or eight-year-old child as an adult, got up and asked Xu Xuan to sit down, called the little servant to pour tea, he filled a bag of cigarettes himself, and took a puff without hesitation.
"Ahem!" Xu Xuan covered his mouth and coughed, not thinking about it, but thinking that he was happy, he liked Xia Qi like this, took the tea and moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Is there nothing wrong with Master Xia these days?" I was punished by the old lady for writing, and it took me two days to sneak out and relax. ”
"Alas!" Xia Jue sighed and said, "I don't have anything serious, this morning the old lady explained a military excerpt, and I just finished writing it." It's better to ask the third master to take a look, it can be used. ”
As he spoke, he walked to the bookcase and picked it up, turned around and handed it to Xu Xuan with both hands. Xu Xuan pretended to take it and looked at it, learning the tone of an adult, "It's very well written." The old lady is not afraid of hard work, and when she is old, why bother about the affairs of the imperial court, it is not necessarily accurate. ”
Xia Jue said with a smile: "The third master has a very good opinion, and I have also persuaded him to do so, according to the old lady's age, he can't work harder." It also shows that the old lady is loyal to the country, and it can be described as an old man. ”
"Yes." Xu Xuan hurriedly stood up and responded.
Xia Qi smiled and asked, "Can the master be in the mansion?" I don't know what happened to the court today, the old lady hurried out first. ”
Xu Xuan said: "The old man just came back, it seems that he has to enter the palace with the old lady tomorrow, but I don't know what is going on." ”
"Oh!" Xia Jue asked again, "Then Master Wei and they also went with them?" ”
"I don't know." Xu Xuan shook his head, "Tomorrow they won't be at home, why don't we take the opportunity to go out and have fun?" ”
"Excellent! Very good! Xia Jue smiled: "I'm also flustered, let's go and invite Shi Tao and Brother Bi to go together, it's also lively." ”
Xu Xuan frowned and said: "Master Shi hates that person, it's not that I said them behind my back, there is only one Xu Yu in my eyes, and I don't care about anything else." Brother Bi is okay, please ask him. ”
"Yes!" Xia Jue said: "Then let's make a decision, and we will wait for the young master here." ”
"It's a deal." (To be continued......)
