Chapter 1496: Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
"Huh? What did you say?"
Emperor Ming was sure that Zhu Yuanzhang would not agree. He was already ready to draw his sword, but he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang actually agreed. Although he also had conditions, at least these things can be discussed. It is better than not even being willing to talk, right?
"Senior Brother Zhu, what conditions do you have?"
Emperor Ming asked urgently, did she really not want to kill Zhu Yuanzhang? After all, there was still Zhu Di in Xuzhou and Zhu Tianpeng in Qingzhou, so even if Zhu Yuanzhang died, the Ming Dynasty would still be divided.
Emperor Ming wanted the entire Ming Dynasty to be merged into the Qin Dynasty, and if it was just the Ming Army in Jizhou, it would still have a lot of influence over the Qin Army, but if he wanted to dominate the world, it would still be a little short of that.
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a strange smile. He had accurately calculated Emperor Ming's mentality, so he dared to come alone so confidently.
"My condition is that Qin Hao must..."
Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Emperor Ming's heart was also in suspense, while Zhang Liang showed an expression that was indeed true.
"It is calculated that Qin Hao will not divorce his wife, so he wants Qin Hao to divorce his wife to prevent the marriage?"
Zhang Liang secretly thought, but this time he guessed wrongly, and Zhu Yuanzhang's conditions were not consistent with what he thought.
"Qin Hao must come in person to propose marriage."
Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down his expression, looked at Emperor Ming seriously, and said sincerely: "He married me, Emperor Ming, as a king, and he already had a wife and children. If he didn't even propose marriage in person, how could he show that he was married?"
His sincerity?"
Hearing this, Emperor Ming breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was an excessive condition at first, but she didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang just asked Qin Hao to propose marriage in person.
Zhu Yuanzhang's condition seemed to Emperor Ming that he was considering it for her. After all, Taihang was her territory, and there would be no danger even if Qin Hao came, so this condition was almost not difficult.
At this thought, Emperor Ming couldn't help but feel even more ashamed. After all, he had forced Zhu Yuanzhang so much, but he still thought about himself. This naturally moved Emperor Ming's heart.
"Okay, I agree to Senior Brother Zhu's condition."
Emperor Ming quickly agreed, as if he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would regret it.
A strange look flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he asked: "Your Majesty, what if Qin Hao doesn't want to come?"
In the eyes of Emperor Ming, this condition was very simple. Qin Hao would definitely come whether it was for himself or for Ming Dynasty, so he said directly without thinking: "If he doesn't come, then I won't marry him."
"good."
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a smile as if his conspiracy had succeeded, and Zhang Liang saw all this, but he said nothing.
To be honest, Emperor Ming once again disappointed Zhang Liang. In the confrontation with Zhu Yuanzhang just now, Emperor Ming was the one who took the absolute initiative, but Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly turned the tables and handed the initiative to the other party. It can be said that he was completely defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang.
In addition, in Zhang Liang's view, Emperor Ming was really smart when he was smart, but he was also really stupid when he was stupid.
If we consider the issue from the perspective of the lover's identity, Emperor Ming would of course take it for granted that Qin Hao would come back, but she ignored that Qin Hao had another identity, the king.
Qin Hao is not alone. He not only has his own wife, children, and family, but also a large group of subordinates. All his actions not only represent himself, but also represent the Qin Army.
Emperor Ming believed that there was no risk for Qin Hao to come to Taihang to propose marriage, but Qin Hao's people did not think so. In their view, as long as there was the slightest risk, they would try their best to prevent Qin Hao from coming to Taihang to propose marriage.
People cannot help themselves when they are in the arena, not to mention that the safety of Qin Hao is also related to the life and death of millions of people?
Therefore, even if Qin Hao wants to come and is willing to come, it does not mean that he can come, and if he cannot come, it does not mean that he does not love Emperor Ming, because these are completely two different things.
Even Zhang Liang had to admit that Zhu Yuanzhang's move was really powerful. He turned passive into active and temporarily gained a gap for activities. At the same time, it also created a dilemma for Qin Hao. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
Qin Hao ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates and came forcefully. Regardless of whether there would be danger or not, it was inevitable that there would be a gap between the emperor and his ministers.
If Qin Hao does not come, Emperor Ming will definitely be dissatisfied, and if a woman is angry, she will not be reasonable. Then the marriage between Qin and Ming will definitely have twists and turns.
"Qin Hao, Qin Hao, what choice will you make?"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but look forward to it. Although he had already prepared to work for Qin Hao because he lost to him in a bet, he still wanted to test Qin Hao's character. After all, this was related to the future of the entire Jizhou Ming Army.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is not a simple person. It seems that we still need to guard against him to prevent the final situation from being difficult to deal with."
Zhang Liangzhong thought cautiously, but although he thought so, he was not worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would escape control. After all, what Zhu Yuanzhang knew so far was what he wanted him to know, unless Zhang Liang took the initiative to expose it, or someone else
Other traders intervened, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would be destined to have difficulty breaking away from Zhang Liang's control.
On the other side, after coming out of the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Fortunately, the military advisor is here, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Zhu Yuanzhang dared to venture into the palace alone, but it was not entirely his idea. Except for the last condition, most of the others were Fan Zeng's design.
Fan Zeng knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was trapped in a tiger's den, had to muddy the water if he wanted to come out alive, and temporarily agreeing to Emperor Ming was the only way to delay time.
"My lord, you are finally back."
Zhu Yun was naturally overjoyed to see Zhu Yuanzhang return safely, but he knew that during Zhu Yuanzhang's departure, a large number of masters appeared around the mansion. If Zhu Yuanzhang failed to return safely, they would be dead.
"How's the investigation going for you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"The factory guards have found out the truth a long time ago. It's just that it was a little difficult to pass on the information, but my subordinates were able to overcome it."
With that said, Zhu Yun handed over a list, and after Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he immediately walked to the candlelight and burned the list.
"In the future, this governor will not let go of any of these scoundrels."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of murderous intent. He never expected that so many people would turn to Qin Hao. Now there were even fewer people he could unite with.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote several letters. After writing, he handed them to Zhu Yun and said: "All the hidden secrets of the factory guards in the Ming court were activated, and they immediately found a way to spread these letters."
, remember not to be discovered."
After Zhu Yun took the letter, he asked doubtfully: "My lord, if we were to win over other officials in the Ming court, wouldn't it be more effective if you personally came forward?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "I am the only one who cannot come forward in person. If I do, Your Majesty will definitely notice it."
"This...No."
Looking at Zhu Yun's leaving back, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed coldly, and he whispered to himself: "Qin Hao, although you have taken the advantage, I can also strike later. Our competition has just begun. Whether it is
Neither Ming Dynasty nor Your Majesty will give it to you."
Zhu Yuanzhang probably never imagined that he thought his opponent was Qin Hao, but he didn't know that he had always been in the calculations of others. This time, he and Qin Hao were both pawns on the chessboard, but the real person who was playing chess in secret was actually
