Empress Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang arriving in the harem and immediately said: "Zhu Chongba, you have done a good job."
Zhu Yuanzhang trembled all over and immediately gave Xu Zheng a wink. Xu Zheng immediately understood and called out all the eunuchs and maids around him. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that there was no one around, he relented and said: "Sister, in this matter, you
listen to me."
Queen Ma said: "What do you have to say? I only have a daughter in Anqing. If you torment the child like this, you will be a father like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I am also thinking about Anqing."
Queen Ma said: "I'm thinking of An Qing. You don't know how sad An Qing is. She just came to my place and cried loudly. The child has never been so wronged."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then she----"
Queen Ma said: "Don't worry, An Qing doesn't know. An Qing is not a fool, and he will find out sooner or later. Even if you really want An Qing to marry He Xi, you won't make this happen. What good is that about He Xi? From Hangzhou
The incident almost led to a military turmoil. He is not considered a great talent."
Queen Ma's eyes are very vicious.
Indeed, there were many mistakes in what He Xi did in Hangzhou. If it were someone else, even if it were Mao Xiang, he would not be able to give Guo Huan so many opportunities. It can only be said that He Xi has talent, but
In many ways he is still immature.
If He Xi had a good family background, such as a father or grandfather who was a marquis, Queen Ma would not be too opposed to it.
But the origin of He Xi is a mystery. This makes Empress Ma very unsure.
After all, marriage in ancient times was a matter of two surnames and was not a matter of one person at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I won't hide it from you, sister. There is something in He Xi that I must get. If He Xi is not of use to me, I will kill him."
Queen Ma was startled and said, "Why is it like this? I don't think the child is like this."
Queen Ma has always been a generous person, and the prince has inherited Queen Ma's character in many ways. She does not want An Qing to marry He Xi out of mother's considerations, but she has no intention of wanting He Xi's life.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There are some things you don't know, but you don't believe my vision?"
Queen Ma was silent for a while. She naturally trusted Zhu Yuanzhang's vision. Not only did she trust him, she even had some admiration for him. When she married Zhu Yuanzhang, she never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be what he is today. Queen Ma was very loyal to him from the bottom of her heart.
I believe Zhu Yuanzhang.
Empress Ma said: "I won't ask about other things. But this matter is related to Anqing's life-long event. You must explain it clearly to me. What is this day? Don't talk about Zen Master Dazhi. I have asked about it.
At that time, there was no such person in Huangjue Temple. Among the monks in Huangjue Temple, there was no one with the title of Dazhi, let alone one who could be called a Zen master. If you don’t explain He Xi’s origin clearly, this matter will
Just don’t try to get past me.”
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a while and said: "Sister, I will tell you this matter. But you must keep it in your belly. No matter when or to whom, you can't say it."
Queen Ma said: "Don't worry, I know the severity, and there are not many things that are rotting in my stomach?"
Empress Ma has followed Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years and has been involved in many things. Many things need to be kept secret for a lifetime. How could Empress Ma not know about it? Even on many major matters that cannot be discussed with outsiders, Zhu Yuanzhang discussed with Empress Ma
of.
Empress Ma is not only Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, but also Zhu Yuanzhang's entrepreneurial partner. However, in terms of resourcefulness and experience, it is not something ordinary people can compare with, nor can ordinary queens compare with it.
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, lowered his voice, and whispered a few words beside Queen Ma.
Queen Ma exclaimed, suddenly stood up and said, "Chongba, you have been deceived, haven't you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang kept this matter in his heart and thought about it over and over. He kept doubting, believing, doubting, and believing again. He also saw the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and thus reflected on many of his policies. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was born with a big heart and boldness,
Many considerations are not revealed at all.
But still a little tired.
Now that I told Queen Ma, I felt much more relaxed.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "I hope to be deceived. Being deceived is just a matter of killing a few people and losing some face. It's nothing. But now it seems that it is true in all likelihood."
After Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Empress Ma's suspicion was gone. After all, Empress Ma never thought that she was smarter than Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang had confirmed it repeatedly, this matter was unbelievable. But Empress Ma could not
I don’t believe it anymore.
"Yes, such a person must be of the same mind as my family. Even if Anqing doesn't want to marry, he will marry." Queen Ma said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
Now that Queen Ma knows the whole story, she naturally knows what to do in the best interests of the Zhu family. For the benefit of the Zhu family, Princess Anqing's petty temper will not be allowed. She will use clumsier methods than Zhu Yuanzhang, the old father.
Much better.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We must be careful. We cannot let the two children become a pair of enemies. Otherwise, it will be counterproductive."
Queen Ma said, "Don't worry. However, I want to see He Xi. I don't want to push Anqing into a pit of fire."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He Xi's character is not bad. He has good self-control. The maid who serves him has never touched him. I think his eyes are upright but not evil. Although he is a little arrogant, he is not a treacherous villain."
Queen Ma said: "What can you men see? Come and ask me to see."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay, okay, okay. How about Anqing? Shall I go and see Anqing?"
Empress Ma said: "You have finished crying in my routine here. You are probably resting or stealing something to eat at the moment?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said: "A routine matter?"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes and said, "What else? Do you think An Qing was really heartbroken? She was just embarrassed. She came to me first to complain, fearing that I would punish her. You must know that this was caused by her trespassing into Qianqing Palace.
.How can she get through without first making herself miserable? Ask yourself, if you were not the cause of this incident and Anqing was so reckless, what would you do?"
"Let her have a long memory." As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said it, he understood. He had been tricked by his daughter. He couldn't help laughing and said: "This little girl."
Empress Ma said: "Anqing is the most restless. You are busy with state affairs, and you don't understand some things. She is a little exciter, and she broke up many marriages by herself. She is also secretly proud, thinking that I don't know, but she doesn't know that she is
Bring her up. As soon as she turns her eyes, you can tell there is something frivolous in her heart."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In this case, I should go and see it."
------
In He Xi's room.
The prince looked at He Xi's back, poured out some yellow powder from a small ceramic bottle, and applied it little by little on the wound on He Xi's back with a small brush. The yellow powder fell on He Xi's back, and He Xi couldn't help but moan.
I made a sound. After a stinging pain, I felt a refreshing and cool feeling.
I feel much better. This is the best medicine for sores.
The prince said: "These few sticks are considered a blessing in disguise for me. Fortunately, my father was merciful. It seemed severe, but it was just a flesh wound. The beatings were not in vain, they were also a blessing in disguise. After a while, you will be
My brother-in-law."
He Xi was shocked and said, "Your Highness, what happened today?"
The prince said: "Not only today's matter, you have done two things during this period. Whether it is for supervising the construction of ordnance, or for solving the Guo Huan case, you must be rewarded. Originally, with your merits,
It’s okay to confer a title of nobility, but now I have to change it to Prince Consort Captain.”
He Xi said: "This is absolutely impossible?"
The prince had finished applying the medicine. He reached out and patted He Xi on the back and said, "Then you can die."
He Xi felt the wound on her back and suddenly let out a long sigh. She was speechless in pain for a while.
The prince said leisurely: "My father attaches great importance to the reputation of the royal family. When we were in the main hall, he taught us that we must not let the Princess of Ming Dynasty be like the princess of Han and Tang Dynasties, especially the princess of Tang Dynasty. My sister and a man
Skin-to-skin contact. If you don’t marry her, I’ll have to kill you to maintain the reputation of Princess Ming.”
"Actually, if you hadn't made many contributions and were my father's old friend, there would only be the second option."
"What? Do you think my sister is not good enough for you?"
He Xi immediately said, "Your Highness, I can't reach that level."
The prince said: "Okay, you should take good care of your wounds in the past few days. As long as you don't do strenuous activities and the wounds scab over, you'll be fine. Just don't touch the water and don't take a bath during this period of time."
He Xi said, "I would like to thank Your Highness for your kindness."
The prince said: "You will be my brother-in-law soon, why are you so polite?" The prince stood up and asked the eunuch beside him to take the medicine. He said, "This is actually what my father meant. From now on we are a family."
The prince left just like that.
He Xi could only struggle up and watch the prince leave. Then he lay heavily on the bed, unconsciously looking at the patterns on the bedside. He already understood something in his heart.
The beating this time may have been a show of force.
It was an unreasonable disaster at all. It made He Xi deeply understand that in this era, thunder, rain and dew are all due to the kindness of the king. He has no right to choose at all, and he does not want to be clever. It is like an exiled prisoner who arrives at the place of exile and kills the threat first.
Great. The reason why some officials ravage them before re-employing them.
Let people be better used by superiors.
He Xi doesn't like it very much, but the world is so realistic.
After a slap, the sweet dates came immediately. And it was a big sweet date, Princess Shang, and she was the legitimate princess. In this way, Zheng became a family with the Ming Dynasty royal family. The benefits were so great that He Xi officially entered the Ming Dynasty.
