Chapter 4235 Chapter 4237 [Zen Ceremony]
"Mother, I''m here to save you." Yun Luo entered the Shoukang Palace where the Queen Mother lived. After seeing the Queen Mother, he said excitedly, "Come on, come with me quickly, let''s leave here."
"Yun Luo, Shi Fei, Duan Aiqing... why are you here? Did you save the emperor?" The Queen Mother was also very surprised when she saw them and asked quickly.
?Duan Tianya explained their plan with a slight embarrassment. After they planned to rescue the emperor and the queen mother, they found an inaccessible place to settle them.
With the care of Yun Luo and Cheng Shifei, most bandits and bandits would not dare to trouble them. And if they just take some silver notes out of the palace, it will be enough for them to live in fine clothing and food for a lifetime.
This is better than being secretly executed by the gods after attaining the Zen position.
It is said that there are no two days in the sky. Since ancient times, emperors who abdicate rarely have a good ending.
After Liu Yu of the Southern and Northern Dynasties forced Emperor Gong of Jin Sima Dewen to abdicate the throne, he killed him two years later; his descendant Emperor Shun of the Song Dynasty, Liu Zhun, abdicated the throne to Xiao Daocheng and was killed in less than a month; Emperor Qi He of the Southern Qi Dynasty After attaining the Zen position, he was executed on the same day...
Even if it is passed on to one''s own descendants, it will not end well.
?For example, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji gave the Zen throne to his son Li Heng, and was then placed under house arrest in Xingqing Palace, and finally died alone;
Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty Zhao Hao abdicated the throne to his son Zhao Dun, Guangzong of the Song Dynasty. As a result, after Song Guangzong Zhao Dun came to the throne, he had no respect for his father at all. Even if Zhao Hao was seriously ill and was about to die, he would not do anything about it... In the end, Zhao Hao died of grief and anger.
Therefore, Emperor Zhengde gave the throne to his uncle, and the result was definitely not much better. He could avoid the first day of the lunar month, but he could not escape the fifteenth day of the lunar month.
…
"No, I won''t leave, I can''t leave." After hearing the whole plan, the Queen Mother categorically refused, "I was born as a member of the late Emperor, and I will be buried with him when I die. No matter how ambitious the Goddess is, , intending to usurp the throne, I will be buried with the late emperor after my death. On the contrary, if I leave with you, can I still be buried with the late emperor after my death?"
“Mother, it’s important to survive.” Yun Luo advised.
"No, to me, death is nothing." The Queen Mother waved her hands, "But after I die, I must be buried with the late Emperor. I will also be the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty until my death."
“Mother~” Yun Luo said again reluctantly.
“Let’s go, go.” The Queen Mother waved her hand.
Xiang Nan, Duan Tianya, Haitang and others looked at each other and finally nodded.
Xiang Nan can understand the Queen Mother''s obsession.
In life, one must either seek glory before death or fame after death.
The Queen Mother enjoyed endless wealth and splendor in her life, with rich clothes and fine food. The only thing she can worry about now is what''s behind her.
??Even if Zhu Yiyi usurps power and seizes the throne, after her death as the Queen Mother, she will be buried in splendor due to the inaccessibility of the government and the public.
?As soon as she left the palace, she became an ordinary old woman from then on, and even she, an old woman, may not see the light of day. I have to hide all my life, lest I be discovered by the gods.
The worst thing is that after death, he cannot be buried with the late emperor. So she preferred to stay in the palace.
…
Subsequently, Cheng Shifei and others left the palace and headed to the Temple of Heaven, preparing to rescue the emperor after the Zen ceremony was over.
When we arrived at the Temple of Heaven, we saw that the Zen ceremony was still going on.
??The emperor has issued an edict for the Zen throne, and the god, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, is already sitting on the dragon chair and begins to accept the congratulations from the officials. "I really didn''t expect that my adoptive father would do such a thing." Haitang couldn''t help but sigh when she saw this scene.
In the past, God always taught them to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but now he himself is plotting to usurp the throne. He says one thing and does another, which is unexpected.
"He has done more than one dirty thing." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "When I went to rescue my sister-in-law yesterday, I entered the secret room of Shenhou and saw his own notebook.
? It turns out that twenty years ago, Gu Santong did not kill the eight sects and one hundred and eight masters. The person who killed them was Shen Hou. He used a power-absorbing pot to **** away their power, and then killed them to blame Gu Santong. "
"What?!" When everyone heard this, they were shocked. "It turns out that the culprit of the Taihu Massacre twenty years ago was Shenhou?!"
"Ha, it turns out it''s him. No wonder the master doesn''t accept him. It turns out he knew it was him." Cheng Shifei said angrily, "It''s really despicable, you actually hurt my master like this."
“No wonder the **** refused to pass on the martial arts to us. It turns out that he practiced evil martial arts and absorbed the great power.” Duan Tianya also sighed with emotion.
?Absorbing martial arts, taking advantage of others, benefiting oneself at the expense of others, and taking the hard-earned martial arts of others as your own. This can be said to be quite insidious and selfish.
It’s no wonder that Shenhou has always been secretive about his martial arts. Even their closest adopted sons don’t know about it. That’s it!
"That''s strange. Since the martial arts of Shen Hou are so high, why did he still lose to Cao Zhengchun that day? Could it be that Cao Zhengchun''s martial arts is higher than that of Shen Hou?" Haitang asked puzzledly.
"The reason why he pretended to be invincible was to let Cheng Shifei use the indestructible Vajra power again." Xiang Nan explained, "Because he thought that the Vajra indestructibility power could only be used five times. If he used it once, he would lose one. A threat."
"So that''s how cunning it is." Cheng Shifei couldn''t help but said angrily when he heard this.
…
At this time, a burst of music was heard, and the abdication ceremony ended.
Emperor Zhengde was stripped of his dragon robe, stuffed into a car, and transported directly to Guilin in western Guangdong for house arrest.
Because after the Zhengde Zen throne, he was regarded as the King of Jingjiang, and the vassal state was established in Guilin.
At that time, Guilin was located in southern Xinjiang. Although it was known as the Southwest Palace, it was naturally inferior to the prosperous places such as Beijing, Jiangnan, and Jinling.
More importantly, when he went there, he was also under house arrest. When time passes and people forget about this "late emperor", the God will issue a secret decree to get rid of him.
Or, simply don’t wait and send people to kill him on the road. It is said that he died from the fatigue of traveling, or from the miasma in the south.
Anyway, who would care about the life and death of an outdated "emperor"?
So Xiang Nan and others planned to rescue the emperor after the abdication ceremony was over in order to prevent him from being killed on the way.
?So when they saw the emperor being put into a carriage and sent away, they immediately followed him.
The carriage left the Temple of Heaven and sped southward. There were more than a hundred guards on both sides of the carriage. It can be said that the defense was quite tight. The emperor would never be able to escape with his own strength alone.
It can be seen that Zhu Mingwu did not arrange slaves or maids for Zhengde, nor did he even let the queen, concubines and others accompany him. It can be seen that he is cruel and wishes to send Zhengde away as soon as possible.
"The Lord is too ruthless in what he does. After all, the emperor is also his nephew." Haitang was soft-hearted and couldn''t help cursing when he saw this scene.
"Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons in the royal family. The current emperor''s throne was taken from his nephew by Emperor Yongle." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.
