Shanxi, Nanjing, Fujian, as well as Shandong, Sichuan and other places. The forces from all sides are either ready to make a move, some are plotting secretly, or some are taking action directly. Finally, they are all in the whirlpool of this huge change in the Ming Dynasty. Correspondingly, the capital, which should have been the most unstable, seems to have become the most peaceful at this moment. Since the victory in the last battle to defend the capital, the capital has quickly returned to its previous prosperity under the management of a group of good ministers. Everyone in the capital has already determined that the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is Jiang Xia. So how is the original emperor Zhu Zaijiang doing now? In fact, since Jiang Xia ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he has always lived in the palace. Because his current appearance was too scary, Jiang Xia specially ordered someone to make a sterling silver mask for him. Since Cui Ziwei was pregnant with his child, Zhu Zaijiang would go to Lengyue Palace to see her every day. Every time I come, I always arrive at noon on time, stay for an hour, and leave before midnight. The same was true today. As noon was approaching, Zhu Zaijiang came to the door of Lengyue Palace. "Bang! Get out! Get out of here all What are you eating? I won't eat!" As usual, when he walked to the door of Lengyue Palace, what Zhu Zaijiang heard was the sound of Cui Ziwei throwing things and her roar. Because he was used to it before, Zhu Zaijiang's expression did not change at all. He walked directly to the palace gate and pushed the door open. After entering the Lengyue Palace, the first thing you saw were a dozen palace maids. Some were comforting Cui Ziwei, while others were collecting the porcelain fragments on the ground. Although Cui Ziwei¡¯s crime was extremely heinous, she still carried Zhu Zaijiang¡¯s only flesh and blood in her belly. So Jiang Xia still arranged for someone to take good care of him. At this moment, Cui Ziwei still looks unparalleledly beautiful. However, the anger between the eyebrows makes people feel disgusted after seeing it. After Zhu Zaijiang entered Lengyue Palace, the eyes behind the silver mask glanced at the food and medicinal soup on the ground. After a moment of silence, Zhu Zaijiang said: "If she doesn't eat, just open her mouth and force it in." After hearing this, several palace maids looked at Zhu Zaijiang blankly, and then looked at Cui Ziwei. I didn't know how to react for a while. The Supervisor of Ceremonies sent someone to pass on the order. The man wearing the mask must be treated with absolute respect and careful attention. As for the person in Lengyue Palace, he was very careful and took good care of him. "Both of them are people who have been specially instructed by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. These maids are not sure who to listen to. Seeing the palace maid in a daze, Cui Ziwei suddenly laughed. She leaned forward and backward first, and finally the whole body slid weakly from the Arhat bed to the ground. Cui Ziwei pointed at Zhu Zaijiang, panting and saying with a smile: "Who do you think you are? Or the current emperor? Have you figured it out? You are now an extremely ugly wretch who lives by relying on others!" Bang! Zhu Zaijiang clenched his fists with both hands, and the joints of his fingers made crisp sounds one by one. Cui Ziwei laughed, stood up from the ground, covered her growing belly with one hand, supported her waist with the other, walked up to Zhu Zaijiang and said, "What? Are you angry? Do you want to hit me?" Cui Ziwei pushed her belly towards Zhu Zaijiang, He said: "Come on, hit me, you hit me instead." Zhu Zaijiang looked at Cui Ziwei coldly through the mask. He grabbed Cui Ziwei's right hand and said coldly: "I can't wait to eat your flesh. , drink your blood! I warn you, if you are wise, please give birth to my son safely, otherwise I will make it impossible for you to live or die!" "Can't you live? Can't you die?" Cui Ziwei laughed exaggeratedly again. She suddenly became quiet, looked at Zhu Zaijiang seriously, and asked: "You asked me to give birth to this child. Then I ask you, what is the meaning of giving birth to a child? Do you think the child can live a good life?" "Of course "With me here, he will definitely live a good life!" Zhu Zaijiang said firmly. Cui Ziwei sneered, looking at Zhu Zaijiang's eyes, full of disappointment. She sighed and said: "Once upon a time, I had feelings for you. But now I see you clearly, you are actually an out-and-out waste. If it weren't for Jiang Xia, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be a puddle of mud on the ground. No. There are many obvious things that you haven¡¯t seen clearly until now. I don¡¯t know if you are pretending to be stupid or if you are really stupid.¡± Zhu Zaijiang frowned and said nothing. Cui Ziwei said to herself: "The one who is proclaiming the emperor now is Jiang Xia. With his prestige in the Ming Dynasty, proclaiming the emperor can be said to be the aspiration of the people and the hope of the people. "Maybe what he is telling you is that he is proclaiming the emperor now just a temporary measure. ,?Then I will return the throne to you. But do you think that after he really solves everything, he will really return the throne to you? " "I never thought about asking him to pay it back! "Zhu Zaijiang said lightly. Cui Ziwei smiled contemptuously, ignored his words, and continued: "Well, with Jiang Xia's reputation-seeking character, I'm afraid he will return the throne to you hypocritically. And if you accept the throne by then, I'm afraid the officials will kill you soon. After all, they have all expressed their willingness to support Jiang Xia in becoming emperor. If you ascend the throne again, then they are all traitors and traitors. You may be thinking that you simply don¡¯t want the throne anymore. Relying on Jiang Xia, I can live a stable life. But have you ever thought that even if Jiang Xia doesn't taboo your identity, he will take good care of you for the rest of his life. What about the son who inherited his throne? Where is the grandson? If you don¡¯t die, your direct descendants will not die. He, a member of the Jiang family, sat on the throne of the Ming Dynasty and always had an unfair reputation. You and your descendants will be a hidden danger as long as they exist. You can put yourself in someone else's shoes and think about it. If you were faced with such a situation, what choice would you make? " I have to say that Cui Ziwei is very smart. It can even be said that her resourcefulness has surpassed many courtiers who have been in officialdom for many years. Her vision is much further than ordinary people. And what about Zhu Zaijiang? As Jiangxia's dean since childhood After experiencing Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang, and Yang Yiqing, how could he be so stupid? If at the beginning, he was still refuting what Cui Ziwei said, then by the end, he had basically already said it. He began to speculate based on Cui Ziwei's words, and the final conclusion made Zhu Zaijiang tremble because he was very clear about one thing. There is a person with his status. Then his choice is definitely one, kill! Jiang Xia has been in charge of the Ming Dynasty for many years. In terms of prestige, it is unparalleled in the world, and in terms of military power, he still has it. Feeling restricted everywhere. Why? It's not because of the six words - the name is not right, the words are not right. So what can be done to make the name right? The existence of the Zhu family directly checks and balances the Jiang family's complete control of Daming. Thinking of this, Zhu Zaijiang's heart began to tremble violently. He didn't know what to do next. His original plan was just like Cui. Ziwei said that he would really give up the throne to Jiang Xia, and then leave the capital and live incognito. But now that he thinks about it, his plan is undoubtedly full of mistakes. The throne is made of millions of bones. , there are countless people trying to pull you down. You give up your seat, but others will not let you go in order to prevent you from sitting on it again. This is the hardship of the emperor. When Zhu Zaijiang was still in a daze, Cui Ziwei suddenly pulled him. Zhu Zaijiang took off his mask. When all the palace ladies saw his terrifying face, they were so frightened that they screamed. Zhu Zaijiang was first panicked, then ashamed, and finally everything turned into his endless anger. Angry. Cui Ziwei raised her head and laughed loudly and said: "Look at you, you are like this and you still want me to give you a son. Are you worthy? Aren't you afraid that your son will be scared to death by your appearance after he is born? " The panicked screams, Cui Ziwei's mocking, and her sarcastic words once again catalyzed Zhu Zaijiang's anger. He shouted: "Ah! ! ! " Then he pinched Cui Ziwei's beautiful neck with both hands. Zhu Zaijiang pinched her hard and shouted: "Why are you forcing me, why are you forcing me. Bitch! Bitch! " Although Cui Ziwei was pinched so hard by Zhu Zaijiang that she couldn't breathe, she still did not show weakness. Instead, she said intermittently: "Zhu Zaijiang, if you kill me now, I still think you are a man. Don't let go, keep pinching hard! " After hearing what Cui Ziwei said, Zhu Zaijiang's hands holding her neck relaxed a lot. He looked at Cui Ziwei blankly, and his whole person became a little lost. In the end, Zhu Zaijiang completely let go of Cui Ziwei, and his whole body The man lowered his head and looked around blankly. Finally, he howled loudly and ran out of Lengyue Palace seemingly madly. After leaving the palace gate, Zhu Zaijiang could still hear Cui Ziwei. Laughing wildly. He ran all the way, trying to get rid of her laughter, but found that he couldn't get rid of her laughter, until Zhu Zaijiang ran to Jinhu in the Imperial Garden.nbsp; There are many koi carps in Jinhu Lake. Zhu Zaijiang stood on the bank, with two voices resounding in his heart. "Jump down and it will be over. Anyway, you are worse than a dog now, so you might as well just die." "No! You are Zhu Zaijiang, the son of Zhu Houzhao, the legitimate emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Do you still remember, What did your father say to you? 'As an emperor, there is no one you can rely on or trust. You are the master of the world, and the only one you can rely on is yourself. Can be used, cannot be trusted, cannot be relied upon'"
