Chapter 326 Family Reunion
No need for Zhengde to tell what happened next, Zhou Zhong could guess it. Wu Shan would definitely find some evidence to prove his identity if he got close to him, such as the things Zhou Hai left in the ancestral hall, etc. It was precisely because of Wu Shan's
Evidence, Zhengde would value himself so much, not only granted him a marriage, but also promoted him to a high-ranking official such as Admiral of the Four Seas.
"How are you sure that I am Zhu Houwei who was stolen back then? Are you just relying on Wu Shan's speculation?" After listening to Zhengde's story, Zhou Zhong did not let go of the dagger in his hand, but still asked with great vigilance. Compared to
His calmness made Wang Jinxuan, who was standing in the living room holding her daughter, extremely shocked. She stood there motionless. She never thought that her husband actually hid such a huge secret.
"Of course not!" As soon as Zhou Zhong finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged woman, Zhengde's mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, saying with tears on her face, "When you were stolen from the palace by that thief Zhou Hai, your neck
Hanging in the middle is a long-life lock made of jade. This long-life lock has a unique shape. Your two uncles specially ordered skilled craftsmen to spend nearly a year to build it. There are two in total in the world. You and Hou Zhao each have their own lock.
There is a piece."
As the Queen Mother Zhang spoke, she took out a jade longevity lock from her arms. It was the same piece that Wu Shan had stolen from his home. Also taken away were Zhou Hai's Jinyiwei waist badge and knife. At this time, Zhengde
She also reached out from her collar and took out a piece of longevity lock. The style was exactly the same as the one in the hands of Queen Mother Zhang. Moreover, Queen Mother Zhang came over and put the two semicircular longevity locks together. They turned out to be a perfect circle.
Shape, no need to ask to know that these longevity locks are a pair.
Seeing the styles of the two longevity locks, Zhou Zhong was also shocked. At that moment, he finally believed that Zhengde must not have lied. The history books recorded that Zhu Houwei, who died young, was not actually dead, but was stolen out of the palace by Zhou Hai.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhong suddenly felt relieved. He didn't care about his life experience in this life, but if he was really Zhengde's younger brother and the youngest son of Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xiaozong, then he no longer had to worry about being treated by Zhu Yunwen and Zhou Zhong.
Even if the sea is involved, your loved ones will not be threatened by their lives.
"Although everything else is correct and the longevity lock is real, how can you be so sure that I am Zhu Houwei? Maybe Zhou Hai had killed Zhu Houwei long ago and then carried a baby of the same size to pretend to be. After all, he stood
From Zhou Hai's point of view, there is really no need for him to risk raising a prince?" Zhou Zhong asked again with some worry. It was related to the safety of himself and his family, so he had to be careful.
"Don't worry about this. I don't dare to identify my brother casually if I'm not sure of it. My mother said that you had a black mole on your right shoulder blade when you were born. I've asked Wu Shan to confirm this. The mole on your back is
There is indeed a mole in the same area..."
Before Zhengde finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly interjected: "That black mole is nothing. The key is that Zhou Zhong, your appearance is very similar to that of the late emperor. When Hou Zhao and the old people in the palace saw it for the first time,
You almost thought that the late emperor was resurrected. Combining these characteristics, the Ai family is sure that you are my poor and blessed child~"
When Empress Dowager Zhang said this, tears of excitement filled her eyes again. She stepped forward and gently grabbed Zhou Zhong's hand. Zhou Zhong did not dodge this time. He had already believed Empress Dowager Zhang's words. After all, the other party's words were full of meaning.
Emotions and eyes could not deceive anyone. He believed that the poor mother really believed that he was her lost son.
Just thinking of this, Zhou Zhongren let Empress Dowager Zhang gently take off the dagger in his hand, and then looked at Zhengde and stood aside. Finally, Empress Dowager Zhang, with tears streaming down her face, shouted "My son" and gave her a
She hugged Zhou Zhong and cried bitterly. She was not the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty now, but just an ordinary mother, a mother who watched helplessly as her two daughters died in infancy and her youngest son disappeared.
Zhou Zhong was hugged by Queen Mother Zhang and cried for a long time. Finally, she finally stopped crying. At this time, Zhou Zhong suddenly remembered. He pointed at Zhengde angrily and asked, "Since you already know my life experience,
, why didn't you tell me earlier, and just now you used Zhou Hai's crimes to scare me, is there anyone like you who does this?"
In response to Zhou Chong's question, Zhengde chuckled and said, "You can't blame me for that. Even though I knew you were my brother when I was in the capital, and I wanted you to recognize your ancestor, but the sweet potatoes and corn you offered
It was really important, plus at that time
I don’t believe that Zhou Hai is dead, so I didn’t recognize you. Just now you thought of Nanyang to help Malacca. According to my guess, Zhou Hai is probably there, so I agreed smoothly. I didn’t expect that this old man would be killed in the end.
The thief was lured out."
When Zhengde talked about Zhou Hai, there was a look of resentment on his face. His two sisters died young, his only brother was stolen, and he himself lost the ability to have children. Naturally, he had to avenge this blood feud, so even if he knew that Zhou Zhong was
He still endured his own brother, and finally succeeded.
"Hou Wei, you really can't blame your imperial brother for this matter. That thief Zhou Hai committed a heinous crime against our royal family. Your father wanted to catch him until his death to avenge your two poor sisters, but unfortunately he was unable to do so.
As expected, Zhou Hai has finally been captured. I believe your father will be able to live in peace.
Rest!" Empress Dowager Zhang has a gentle personality, but when she talks about Zhou Hai, a murderous look flashes across her face. After all, her two daughters died in the hands of the other party, and she was separated from Zhou Zhong's mother and son for many years. It can be said that Zhou Hai
He is the person that Empress Dowager Zhang hates the most in the world.
Seeing that his mother was angry, Zhengde hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Mother, there is no need to be angry for a dying person. Now I still have some questions to ask Zhou Hai. After all, when he made trouble in the palace, he must have many accomplices and
Supporters, although a group of people were investigated and punished at the beginning, God knows if any of them slipped through the net. After the interrogation is clear, I will definitely have someone take him to his father’s tomb and shave him alive as a memorial to my father’s spirit in heaven!”
Zhengde said the above words with murderous intent, and he was definitely not joking. After all, considering Zhou Hai's crime, it would be too easy for him to kill him with one knife. Although Zhou Zhong has no feelings for Zhou Hai, he has raised him after all.
Zhou Zhong was more than ten years old before, so now he doesn't know what to say.
Empress Dowager Zhang had just met her son, whom she had separated for more than ten years, and did not want to mention such bloody things, so she took Zhou Zhong's hand and came to Jinxuan, snatching her granddaughter away for Zhou Zhong to see.
The little baby was sleeping soundly, with a fat little hand on his mouth, and his thumb in his small mouth, sleeping very soundly.
"This...is this my daughter?" Zhou Zhong gently took the child from the hands of Queen Mother Zhang, but still asked in disbelief. After two lifetimes, he became a father for the first time. When he looked at
When he held this little person in his arms, he felt as if his chest was about to explode, and an indescribable emotion filled his mind.
"My lord, Jinxuan is incompetent and cannot add children to the family. Please punish me!" At this time, Jinxuan finally woke up from the shock, but when she thought that she gave birth to a daughter, she immediately felt sad and even said
In the end, she even shed tears. After all, in this era, it is the woman's fault that she cannot give birth to a son. She also blamed herself during this time.
When Zhou Zhong saw Jinxuan crying, he immediately felt very distressed. If he hadn't been concerned about the presence of Queen Mother Zhang and Zhengde, he would have held Jinxuan in his arms to comfort her, but at this time he still reached out and grabbed her hand.
He said: "Don't blame yourself. Having children is not something you can control. And compared to naughty and mischievous sons, I prefer quiet and beautiful daughters. And we are so young. At worst, we will just have a few more in the future!"
Hearing Zhou Zhong's comfort, Jinxuan was shy and happy at the same time. However, Queen Mother Zhang and Zhengde both disagreed with the couple's words. After all, Zhengde was infertile and had not had a son or a half until now. It was not easy now.
With Zhou Chong as a biological brother, I naturally hope that he can give birth to a son as soon as possible. When the time comes, I, as the uncle, will make him the prince. This way, the Ming Dynasty can be stabilized, and at the same time, the thoughts of the Tibetan kings can be eliminated.
Naturally, there were endless things to say when the family was reunited, especially Queen Mother Zhang who held Zhou Zhong's hand and kept asking questions. Although she had learned a lot about Zhou Zhong from Zhengde, she just liked it now.
Listening to Zhou Zhong in person, especially Zhou Zhong’s little details about these things, was her favorite.
What I heard. And perhaps because of her love for the house, Empress Dowager Zhang was also very enthusiastic towards Jinxuan. She held her little granddaughter in her arms without letting go. After all, this was her first grandchild, so she naturally loved her very much. Unfortunately, this was a granddaughter.
, if it were his grandson, it is estimated that Queen Mother Zhang would directly ask Zhengde to make him the prince.
The family chatted until dark. Then Queen Mother Zhang remembered that Zhou Zhong had just come back and Zhengde had made a joke to her at noon. She hadn't eaten well yet. She must be tired and hungry now, so she hurriedly asked people to prepare the banquet again.
, but this time it was a family banquet. Although there was wine at the banquet, it was only light wine. After all, the family still had a lot to say.
They had a dinner with Queen Mother Zhang and talked a lot during the meal. After the meal, Jinxuan held her daughter and accompanied Queen Mother Zhang to rest in the back, because they knew that there must be some differences between brothers Zhou Chong and Zhengde.
If there are too few words to say, these words are not suitable for women like them to listen to.
After seeing Empress Dowager Zhang leave, Zhou Zhong suddenly asked with an urgent expression: "Your Majesty, Zhou Hai has fallen into your hands now. I don't care about his life or death, but Aunt Wang, Zhuo'er, and Duo'er are all mine.
