Chapter 668: The Doomed Tragedy

"hehe......!"

Guo Dan couldn't help but laugh.

Although he was wearing only a pair of big shorts at this moment, he was tied to a small house where he could not see his fingers. He was extremely embarrassed, and the only thing he could move was his mouth.

In his impression, such scenes will only happen in TV series and the Internet. How could this princess have something to do and go to the river to commit suicide?

Even if he is given ten thousand more chances, he will not believe it.

Of course, he was not very panicked now because he knew that he was now in Jingxin Temple, which means that Empress Dowager Li's people tied him up, not Zhang Jing's people, and he believed that Empress Dowager Li was not the kind of unreasonable Empress Dowager.

The fact is that he saved the princess, because it is not difficult to find out unless the princess harmed him.

But why did the princess harm him?

Unless it is the bloody TV series...!

TV drama?

Guo Dan suddenly felt a little panicked again.

He really doubted whether he was dreaming!

A squeak.

The door suddenly opened.

Guo Dan couldn't open her eyes when a ray of light thorned.

"Let him loose quickly."

Hearing a sound of yin and yang.

Guo Dan forced himself to open his eyes, and then he saw clearly that the person who spoke was the eunuch named Chen next to Empress Dowager Li.

At the same time, the two guards loosened the rope on Guo Dan's body.

"Eunuch Chen!"

Guo Dan rubbed her arms while looking at Eunuch Chen with grievance.

"Okay!"

Eunuch Chen seemed to know what Guo Dan was going to say, and waved his hand and said, "Put your clothes quickly and put them in order. The Queen Mother is still waiting to see you."

Guo Dan heard Changsong's mouthful, and knew that the misunderstanding was resolved.

After one stick of incense.

Guo Dan followed Eunuch Chen to a wing room, and saw Empress Dowager Li sitting inside, with a hint of sorrow on her quiet face.

Although Empress Dowager Li is in her early forties, she still has charm and looks like she is in her thirties. When she was young, she must have been a great beauty.

When Guo Dan saw Empress Dowager Li, he felt depressed. Yes! Both mother and daughter are seven points alike, but I didn’t recognize her at that time. She is really a dog.

"Guo Dan, a grass-roots man, met with the Queen Mother."

"No gift!"

"Mrs. Thank you."

When Guo Dan stood up, Empress Dowager Li said a little tiredly: "Guo Dan, it's fortunate that you are today, otherwise..."

Speaking of this, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Caomin just happened to meet the man...!"

Empress Dowager Li suddenly frowned.

The word "master" was forced to be held back by Guo Dan.

Empress Dowager Li said: "Guo Dan, you must remember that you saved only a palace maid named Wan'er today. Even if Your Majesty asks, you must answer this way."

Is it so serious? What's going on? Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Caomin remember."

Empress Dowager Li seemed to feel uneasy and said, "I made this arrangement all for your own good. If this matter is leaked, you may be in big trouble."

"The grass people know that today's affairs will rot in their stomachs." Guo Dan quickly promised.

Empress Dowager Li nodded and said, "If you go back, just pretend that you have never been here."

"The grass-roots retreat."

Guo Dan really wanted to leave here early.

This matter became more and more mysterious. He was full of doubts. He was kind to save someone. Even if he was a princess, what could he not say? But now he was doing it as if he had done something to make money and kill him.

Not only that, even the process of their departure from here was very mysterious. Two guards escorted them out, and no one was seen on the whole road.

The two guards sent him to the riverside, the crime scene, and left.

I have to say, this is really cruel.

"This is a dream! This must be a dream! I will go back and have a sleep, it's really evil!"

Guo Dan shivered for a moment and hurried to the residence.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, he tripped again under his feet.

I staggered a few steps before I stabilized my body.

here we go again!

Guo Dan was really about to cry, and looked back tremblingly. This time it was not a human leg, but a wine jar.

Where did the wine jar come from?

Guo Dan looked around and suddenly found a person sitting by the river, holding a fishing rod.

Wait? Isn't that my fishing rod?

Guo Dan opened his eyes and was about to make a sound when the man suddenly turned around and he immediately exclaimed: "Little Prince!"

That person was Zhu Yiliu.

Zhu Yiliu forced a smile and said, "Guo Dan, thank you for saving my sister."

"Well...?"

Guo Dan suddenly remembered the advice from Empress Dowager Li just now and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Zhu Yili seemed to see through what he was thinking and said, "I already know the whole thing. I am still talking to you in front of my mother just now."

His emotions seemed very low, and he was as fat as the domineering little prince on weekdays.

Guo Dan frowned slightly, then bent over and picked up the wine jar, walked over, and said, "If the little prince wants to find someone with a tight mouth to talk to him, I think I should be a good partner."

After saying that, he handed over the wine jar.

Zhu Yili was stunned for a moment, took the wine jar, poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and suddenly asked, "As a tooth merchant, you should have heard of my sister's affairs."

The tooth merchant should know? Why? Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know at all. I don't even know that you have a princess sister."

Zhu Yili looked at Guo Dan in a little surprised, and saw that Guo Dan didn't seem to be lying, saying, "It's really strange. You are a tooth merchant, but you don't know about this."

Guo Tan said: "I didn't pay much attention to these things before."

Zhu Yili asked again: "Then have you heard of Liang Guozhu?"

Guo Dan shook his head.

Zhu Yiliu said: "This person is the leader of the official teeth."

So what? Is it like a person who stares at Guanya every day? Guo Dan said: "What does this have to do with the princess?"

Zhu Yiliu said, "His son is my sister's husband."

"ah?"

Guo Dan couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "The princess's husband is actually a tooth child?"

Zhu Yili nodded.

Guo Tan said: "How is this possible?"

Zhu Yiliu said: "You don't even know this rule?"

Guo Dan shook his head straight.

Zhu Yili smiled and said, "It seems that you only know how to make money?"

Guo Tan nodded with a smile.

Zhu Yili explained to Guo Dan.

It turned out that the royal family in the Ming Dynasty had a rule that princesses were not allowed to marry children and grandchildren of civil and military ministers. Generally, low-level officials and wealthy families among the people chose their son-in-law.

Although Zhu Yiliu did not say why, Guo Dan could guess that it was to prevent the tyranny of the foreign relatives.

Although there were other relatives in the Ming Dynasty who were relatively strong, they could not form such a group of forces, and it was almost difficult to endanger the imperial power.

"So that's how it is."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "That's not going to marry the children of Tooth."

A trace of resentment flashed in Zhu Yili's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of Feng Bao's dead eunuch."

Regarding Feng Bao, Guo Dan knew that Aunt Xu had said before that eunuchs could not ignore their power in the Ming Dynasty. Without the support of eunuchs, it was impossible to complete reforms. Feng Bao was Zhang Juzheng's best partner.

It is precisely because of Feng Bao's support that Zhang Juzheng's reform was so smooth.

However, Feng Bao was eventually liquidated by Wanli, but after Aunt Xu said that Feng Bao was a good eunuch, much better than Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing.

But the story Zhu Yili told later really refreshed Guo Dan's impression of Feng Bao.

In fact, this is not a royal secret. Basically everyone knows it, but Guo Dan doesn't care much about this matter.

It turned out that the princess was Wanli's sister, Princess Yongning, and it is said that she was the most beautiful princess in the Ming Dynasty. Five or six years ago, Princess Yongning was at the age of getting married, so Wanli asked Feng Bao, the eunuch at that time, to choose a son-in-law for Princess Yongning.

From this point of view, we can see that eunuchs are really an extension of imperial power. When a princess gets married, eunuchs have to choose a son-in-law.

At that time, Liang Guozhu was the largest official in the capital. His family was very wealthy, but he only had one son, named Liang Bangrui. Liang Bangrui suffered from tuberculosis and was about to be in his life. Liang Guozhu thought about whether his son might become the son-in-law and be happy and prolong his life.

He almost used all his family fortune to bribe Feng Bao, but he actually took over the marriage.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng also supported this marriage, so Empress Dowager Li and Wanli were both hiding it in the dark. It can be seen that the emperor and Empress Dowager really didn't know much about the outside world, and all the things they learned had to be informed by eunuchs or ministers.

But what is even more outrageous is still behind. The Ming Dynasty's etiquette is strict, and the royal family is even more so.

After the princess gets married, an old female official must be sent to her to fully manage the princess’ affairs, including romance and love.

If the prince-consort wants to meet the princess, he must first get the approval of the old palace maid. The old palace maid will supervise them. He cannot be too yinhui and must keep the rituals of husband and wife.

But the reality is that these old palace maids use this to blackmail the princess. No matter how hard the Ming Dynasty could not choose beggars to be their parents. The princess' family is generally rich, and it is difficult to get the princess without money.

Liang Bangrui refused to give it to him, and even had a dispute. As a result, on the wedding night, the old palace maid called him to beat him and vomited blood. He didn't even see the princess, and he died a month later.

This really refreshed Guo Dan's three views. He shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen to the royal family."

"It's a pity that the emperor's brother did not execute Feng Baolingchi at the beginning." Zhu Yiliu gritted his teeth.

Although he is a man who does everything evil, he still values ​​his mother, brother and sister very much.

Guo Dan's eyes flashed and thought to himself, it seems that Zhang Juzheng might have had this factor in the beginning!

Zhu Yili seemed to see what he was thinking and said, "Don't think about it."

"I didn't think a lot, I just stood up for the princess."

Guo Dan said curiously again: "But it has been several years since this matter. Why is the princess still...?"

Zhu Yiliu took another sip of wine and said, "My sister is a widow at a young age. She doesn't even know what her husband looks like. Even if she hides in the deep palace, she often hears rumors. When the mother saw her sister, she was depressed and wanted to take her out to relax, but she never thought about it...!"

Wow! This is really pitiful! Guo Dan said curiously: "Since that's the case, Your Majesty can choose another husband for the princess!"

He felt that to solve this problem, he could only start a new relationship life. He would definitely have random thoughts when he was alone every day.

"Bastard!" Zhu Yili said with a tense face: "My sister is a princess, how can she do such a thing that is harmful to her reputation?"

Yes, yes, the women of the Ming Dynasty value Joan of Arc very much and must be widowed until death. That is destined to be a tragedy, and it is also caused by you, and they are not resentful. Guo Dan comforted very perfunctorily: "Then you should spend more time with your sister and enlighten her."

Zhu Yili sighed, "But I am going to go to the vassal state soon."

"Well...!"

Guo Dan was speechless and it would be a tragedy that he almost forgot about you.

Zhu Yili suddenly turned his head and looked at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan was uncomfortable being seen by him, "Little Prince, why are you looking at me like this?"

Zhu Yiliu said: "To be honest, it would be great if the tooth merchant was you, then my sister wouldn't be so painful."

"I...?"

Guo Dan was shocked, you said so, how dare I touch this princess? When I have a relationship, I have to face an old face. I don’t know if the old palace maid will supervise the side when she is acting. Wow, it’s terrible to think about it, and said, “Little Prince, if you are drunk, I really can’t stand it. I am a son-in-law.”

Zhu Yiliu snorted: "It's better than that short-lived ghost!"
