Chapter 246 The Disliked Crown Princess
The original owner was Princess Zhaoyang, who was nominally the queen's niece but actually the queen's biological daughter.
Eighteen years ago, the emperor was assassinated in the hunting ground and lost his fertility. Fortunately, the queen was five months pregnant at that time. In order to stabilize those ambitious princes who always wanted to rebel, the emperor and the queen exchanged their two children and announced to the outside world that the one given birth to by the queen was a prince.
Of course, the original owner was not sent out of the palace, but was treated as the little prince's child bride. She stayed in the palace and was raised together with the little prince. Her food, clothing, housing and transportation were no different from those of the prince.
When the original owner was five years old, the prince was named Crown Prince, and the original owner was chosen as Crown Princess. Although no wedding was held, the original owner's identity was an established fact.
When they were young, the two children had a good relationship, but when they were in their teens, the prince was very disgusted with having a fiancée like the original owner.
Later, at a flower-viewing banquet, he met Yun Luoyue, a girl brought by the prince of Xinyang. He was deeply attracted by Yun Luoyue's liveliness, enthusiasm, and unrestrained freedom.
After several contacts, the prince fell in love with Yun Luoyue, but as the prince, he already had a fiancée, and the emperor and the queen would never agree to his breaking off the engagement.
The two had a tragic love affair, and in the end, Yun Luoyue ran away with the baby, heartbroken, on the day of the prince's wedding.
When the prince learned that Yun Luoyue had left, he abandoned the original owner in the wedding hall and ran after Yun Luoyue. The original owner felt so humiliated that she jumped into the lake and died.
The emperor and the empress were heartbroken after losing their own daughter. Prince Gaoyang took the opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate and killed them.
But he did not serve as emperor for many days before he was driven off the throne by his uncle who held a large military force, and the crown prince ascended the throne.
The prince became the emperor, Yun Luoyue became the queen, and their prince became the new prince and princess, and none of this had anything to do with the original owner.
……
When Zhang Shan arrived, the original owner and the prince were only thirteen years old. The prince was in his rebellious period and was very rude to his fiancée Zhang Shan. He tried to break off the engagement many times.
"Zhaoyang, tell mother, do you like Zishu?"
If her daughter is determined to be with Zishu, she will tie Zishu up and marry him to Zhaoyang.
"Mother, I don't like Zishu anymore. He laughs at me and bullies me."
"Do you still want to marry Zishu in the future?"
Zhang Shan shook her head, and the Queen breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the years, the emperor has exiled or executed those ambitious princes, and finally only Prince Gaoyang, who has the same mother as him, is left.
The crisis of the previous dynasty had been resolved, but a new crisis had also emerged. That was her mother's family, or her brother, who held a large number of troops and had gradually embarked on the path of rebellion.
The queen was always worried.
"Zhaoyang, remember, no matter who becomes the crown prince, you are the crown princess. Don't be afraid of Zishu, and don't worry about being kicked out of the palace. You are the master of the palace."
The queen pressed Zhang Shan's shoulder and said.
Zhang Shan was sincere and affectionate to the queen, and she asked boldly, "Then why can't I be the crown prince?"
"There has never been a female crown prince or a female emperor in this world."
"Then I want to be the first female emperor. I do better than Zishu in my studies and have better relationships with people. Zishu is so bad, why should I be inferior to him?"
The queen was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
No matter how outstanding she is, no woman can be emperor. Not only will the royal family disapprove, but even the court officials will not agree.
That evening the Queen told the Emperor what Zhang Shan had said. Since Zhang Shan didn't like Zishu and Zishu didn't like Zhang Shan either, forcing them to get together would only do harm. Besides, Zishu was not smart and spent all his time catching cats and teasing dogs. He was uneducated and had no skills.
Even if they randomly pick anyone off the street, he is better than Zishu. With Zishu being like this, they really don't feel comfortable entrusting their daughter and the country to him.
"If you give up Zishu, then your brother..."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. My Chen family is not the only one with my brother. If my brother does something wrong, Your Majesty, don't worry. Just let it go."
A mother is strong, and the queen's heart and eyes are now filled with her daughter.
"You are a sensible person." The emperor was very satisfied with the queen's answer.
From that day on, the emperor and the empress no longer asked Zishu to make progress. Zishu was surrounded by second-generation rich people, and it was easy for him to learn bad things but difficult to learn good things.
Under the favor of the emperor and the empress, Zishu became extremely domineering, cruel, uneducated, and did all kinds of evil. He often stayed in brothels.
Zhang Shan was originally intelligent. With the support of the emperor and the empress, she learned the imperial mentality from the imperial tutor. In their words, if the emperor was disobedient in the future, she could sideline the emperor and become the regent queen.
As for the empress, the emperor and the empress never thought about it.
The first time Zhang Shan came to prominence was when she used the hidden Prince Gaoyang to deal with Chen Guojiu.
"It is because of Uncle Chen that the Emperor was able to get rid of my useless brothers. If Uncle Chen were gone, wouldn't the throne be within easy reach?"
Prince Gaoyang is not actually very smart. He is still alive only because his little actions are harmless and do not cause any major damage to the emperor.
In front of those capable and ruthless brothers, he just felt like he was playing house.
Chen Guojiu was reluctant to hand over the military power, and the emperor began to be suspicious of him. After all, Zishu, the legitimate crown prince, was Chen Guojiu's youngest son, and it would be easy for Chen Guojiu to steal the country.
The emperor had already calculated this matter more than ten years ago, but in order to resolve the crisis at the time, he had no choice but to take this approach. However, he did leave other ways to resolve the crisis.
Except for a few who had died, all his brothers were still alive and well. If they and their daughter had died, the letter would have been delivered to their desks.
Although Zishu became the emperor in his previous life, he was eventually ousted, and the entire Chen family was also exterminated.
Zhang Shan stood behind Prince Gaoyang and gave him advice, because if Uncle Chen raised an army without the emperor's intervention, it would be a real rebellion.
This handle must not be left behind, so Chen Guojiu and Prince Gaoyang continued to fight among themselves, while the emperor sat back and watched.
In the end, Chen Guojiu, who had led troops in battles for many years and had good physical fitness, killed King Gaoyang.
It's either conspiracy or simple physical combat.
Prince Gaoyang is just an idle prince who has no knowledge and only exercises in bed. How can he beat Uncle Chen?
Uncle Chen beat Prince Gaoyang to death. Even though the Queen took off her hairpin to plead guilty, the Emperor did not show any leniency to her. After all, the royal family members were watching.
In this way, Chen Guojiu's military power was taken away, and among the nine clans of the Chen family, only Chen Guojiu's family was beheaded as a public display.
On the day of beheading, the sun was shining brightly, it was a rare good day. The empress asked to be confined to Fengyi Palace, and Zhang Shan was not worried that the empress would be too sad.
The Queen did this for the Chen family to see. Although her parents were not around, there were still other clansmen around. Uncle Chen's family was beheaded and she could not save them, but she also had to show them how heartbroken she was.
The street was very lively. Zhang Shan and his guards were sitting in a teahouse, from where they could just see the platform where Chen Guojiu's family was beheaded.
She also saw Zishu, the unlearned prince, in the bustling crowd.
At this time, Zishu pushed through the crowd and came to the guillotine, smiling with disgust, "Uncle, you can go without worry. I will not marry cousin Zhaoyang. A daughter of a guilty minister dares to covet the position of Crown Princess. She really doesn't know how to live or die. In a few years, I will send her down to reunite with you."
The mouths of Chen Guojiu's family were blocked and they could not make any sound. Zishu wanted to step forward and take the rags out of their mouths, but was stopped by the soldiers.
"I am the crown prince, how dare you stop me? How many heads do you have?"
However, the soldiers were not afraid. "This is His Majesty's order. Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to defy the Emperor's authority?"
Although Zishu has been a bastard these years, he is also most afraid of the emperor. Who can sit on that position without a little blood on his hands?
Ever since the emperor started to treat Zishu harshly, Zishu no longer dared to act unruly in front of the emperor.
When Chen Guojiu heard that Zishu didn't want to marry Princess Zhaoyang and even wanted to kill her, he was very worried. He wanted to remind Zishu, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make any sound.
"It's three quarters past noon. All the strangers should disperse. The execution has begun!"
As the eunuch waved his whisk, soldiers pushed away the people who were crowding over, including Zishu.
He was in the first row, watching excitedly as Chen Guojiu's family was beheaded.
The head rolled to his feet, splattering blood all over him. Zishu kicked Chen Guojiu's head away with disgust.
"How dare you dirty my clothes and shoes, you disgusting thing!"
The person's head was not completely dead at the moment it was chopped off. Chen Guojiu could still hear what Zishu said. He widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief. He did not expect Zishu to treat him like this.
Zhang Shan watched the fun from the teahouse and left only after the crowd had dispersed.
As soon as I left the teahouse, I met Zishu who was in a very bad mood.
Zishu was originally angry because his clothes and shoes were dirty, but after seeing Zhang Shan, his anger immediately disappeared.
"Isn't this Uncle Chen's legitimate daughter? Are you here to watch your father being beheaded?"
"Oh my, now I'm talking about your sad story. You will be the daughter of a criminal from now on. Do you want to marry me and become the Crown Princess? Don't even think about it!"
Zhang Shan just found it funny.
"why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at you for being ridiculous!"
"You are about to die and you still dare to laugh at me. Do you think you can still live without the Chen family's soldiers?"
"The military power has long been in my hands, so I said you are ridiculous."
"how is this possible?"
"How is it impossible? Uncle Chen is my father, and it is only right that he gave the military order to me!"
Zishu and Zhang Shan have been at loggerheads over the years, but Zishu has never gotten the upper hand from Zhang Shan.
Zi Shu was almost angry to death as he watched Zhang Shan's departing back.
"My uncle clearly loves me more, so why did he give the military token to Zhaoyang? It turns out that all his kindness to me is a lie!"
Zishu, who was furious, ran back to the execution ground with his men and took back the bodies of Chen Guojiu's family from the Chen family.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these bodies?"
"What should we do with it? Doesn't Liu Zixing have a lot of wolfhounds? Feed them to the wolves!"
"Your Highness, this is your uncle after all. Would it be inappropriate to do this?"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Slave dare not!"
The guards knelt down and begged for mercy.
Liu Zixing was also a second-generation rich man, but he could not do such a thing as feeding the corpses of his uncle's family to wolves. He wanted to persuade Zishu to think twice before doing so.
After all, Chen Guojiu is not only Zishu's uncle, but also the brother of the current queen. If the queen knew about this, their Liu family would be finished.
But how could Zishu listen to advice?
The more you don't let him do something?
The more he wants to do something!
Fearing that Liu Zixing would pretend to obey but actually disobey, Zishu stood outside the wolf circle and watched the wild wolves eat the bodies of Chen Guojiu's family before leaving.
After Zishu left, Liu Zixing and Lord Liu went to the palace to plead guilty. The emperor was very disappointed with Zishu's behavior. He thought Zishu was just too naughty and not a bad person. He didn't expect that he would treat his beloved uncle like this?
"I am the one who failed to educate my children properly!"
