Episode 43
After getting rid of Concubine Hua, Lingrong told the queen about the emperor calling Zhen Huan “Wuanwan”. The queen felt threatened by Zhen Huan because “Wuanwan” was the nickname of the late Queen Chunyuan, and Zhen Huan was also given the title.Here comes jealousy.The queen instigated Qi Guiren to ask his father Guarjia'emin to sow discord between the emperor and Zhen Yuandao in the previous dynasty.E Min reported to the emperor that there was a collection of poems written by Qian Mingshi, the master of the Literary Prison, in Zhen Yuan's Taoist home, and the emperor had a grudge.
The emperor was suspicious by nature. Under the instigation of the empress, he noticed that Zhen Huan loved to read the history books of political figures. He was unhappy and deliberately alienated her.In order to check and balance the forces of all parties, the emperor did not give too much real power to the ministers who had contributed to quelling the chaos. He did not dote on the daughter of the meritorious minister, but he did not neglect him. The Queen Mother appreciated the emperor's approach, and the emperor mentioned the Longkodo incident again.And hope that Huang Er Niang will not interfere in politics.
Before the canonization ceremony, Zhen Huan discovered that the dress was damaged, so she hastily wore a replacement dress sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the ceremony site.The empress identified on the spot that the clothes on Zhen Huan were the old clothes of the late Empress Chunyuan, and the emperor even mistakenly identified Zhen Huan as Chunyuan. The emperor was embarrassed and angry when his secret was revealed. He accused Zhen Huan of offending Empress Chunyuan and imprisoned her in the newly renovated palace.Broken Yuxuan could not be found unless summoned, and the daily routine was in accordance with the agreed standards. Jiang Zhongmin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was ordered to be executed with a cane. Even Fangruo, who had been Zhen Huan's aunt, was sent to the Queen Mother's side.
When Zhen Huan realized that she had always been Queen Chunyuan's substitute, she was completely heartbroken.Mei Zhuang risked his life and traveled to the palaces of the Queen and the Queen Mother to plead for her, but neither palace was willing to intervene in the matter.
