Chapter 296: Zhu Yuanzhang's Iron-Hearted Heart

"You should speak up!"

Lü Ben saw that Lu was keeping her head down and silent, and he was so angry that he stood up instantly and raised his voice.

Wow!

Zhu Yunwen was frightened and burst into tears.

Lü Ben tried to comfort him in a hurry, "Don't cry, don't cry, our Qilin child won't cry, grandpa is not angry with Yunwen, but with you, the useless mother who only knows how to sulk."

As he spoke, Lü Ben glanced at Lu with regret.

After finally coaxing Zhu Yunwen, Lü Ben held Zhu Yunwen and sat down, trying to suppress his anxiety as much as possible, and asked in a calm tone: "Tell me what happened?"

"Prince, you have been to Wang Shixuan for two consecutive days."

Since Yunwen was born, the prince has come to her almost every other day to talk to her.

But since Concubine Wang came.

For two consecutive days, he didn't come to her or the Crown Princess.

There are some things she can't say.

Affect the reputation of the prince.

For example, the personal maid told her that some palace maids gossiped privately, saying that there were wild cats calling in the Beauty Palace in the second half of the night...

In the second half of the night...

The prince had never been so indulgent with her.

Let alone her.

She had never heard of such rumors from the Crown Princess.

Just today, after the prince came back from the morning court, he specially ordered someone to assign a little palace maid who had never followed any master to the little wild cat.

To put it bluntly, this was the confidant of the little wild cat.

Just like the personal maid beside her.

Only recognize her, absolutely loyal.

According to the rules, let alone a concubine selected by the East Palace, even the talented people in the Queen's Palace of my father are not qualified to get a little palace maid who has never followed any master and has a clean background.

I really don't know why the little wild cat is so pleasing to the prince.

...

Lv Ben listened to Lv's half-hidden story, and his brows were knitted.

After Lu finished speaking, she said in a deep voice: "Maybe the prince just wants to try something new, and will forget about it when he gets tired of it, unless this little wild cat from Korea is really extraordinary."

He hates it so much!

When the little wild cat from Korea first came.

They all thought that the emperor would give this little wild cat to Zhu Silang.

Many people who were hostile to Zhu Silang said sour words in private.

He felt that Zhu Silang was unworthy!

If he had known that this would be the result, he would have let Zhu Silang, the tiger, take in this little wild cat.

But now it has become his daughter's enemy.

The prince will never neglect the princess no matter what.

If he dotes on the little wild cat too much.

His daughter will definitely be neglected.

He also wants his daughter to give birth to more children for the prince.

If his daughter can give birth to ten sons for the prince, he will have ten grandchildren.

In the future, there will be ten princes who will be divided into fiefdoms.

Each of them will have a guard of 6,500 soldiers and horses.

Ten kings will be 65,000!

But now...

Lv Ben collected his thoughts, glanced at the depressed Lu, and comforted her: "Let's wait and see. If the little wild cat is very favored, you can make friends with her. She has no one to rely on in the Ming Dynasty. As long as you are willing to accept her, she will definitely be willing..."

The little wild cat is too favored, and the Crown Princess is fine.

But if it gets to the ears of the Chang family and the Lan family, the two families will definitely secretly attack each other.

There are many people in the East Palace who support the Chang and Lan families.

The Chang and Lan families exclude each other, and the other party is in the Ming Dynasty, helpless. If the daughter gives a little warmth, she will definitely become a good sister who can talk about everything.

...

"In short, if the prince likes the little wild cat very much, you must not target the little wild cat..."

"How dare my daughter!" Lu whispered angrily.

After she became the prince's concubine, she was cautious and prudent. She dared to intervene only when the Crown Princess asked her to assist. Even so, she had to pay her respects three times a day.

How dare she do anything to the person the prince likes.

Lü Ben nodded. It was a taboo to target someone's favorite.

Even if it succeeded.

You would be hated by the other party.

It was a thankless task.

He was the best example!

When Zhu Silang's weight in Emperor Zhu's heart changed, he was not yet alert.

He was still blatantly targeting Zhu Silang during the scholar examination.

That's why he ended up leaving Beijing in disgrace.

...

That night.

Kunning Palace.

Ma Xiuying asked while removing her makeup: "I heard that Geng Bingwen's youngest son stopped the road in the street and asked Lao Si and Miaoyun for marriage?"

Humph!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with a smile, "Well, this little guy from Geng Bingwen's family has vision."

Ma Xiuying smiled.

Then asked: "If Liu Bowen doesn't want to come out to serve, don't force him, okay? He is over 60 years old, older than us. He fought with you to conquer the world and worked hard all his life, and you gave him an earl..."

Among the founding civil and military officials.

Chongba suppressed two people.

The civil official was Liu Bowen.

The military general was Tang He.

Among them, Liu Bowen was the most suppressed.

Liu Bowen's contribution was no less than Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang was even granted the title of Duke, but Liu Bowen was not even a marquis, but only an earl.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and vowed, "Don't worry, as long as the fourth son goes, Liu Ji will definitely come out. This old man owes the fourth son."

Ma Xiuying frowned slightly and turned her head, "Just because the fourth son attracted the attention of the civil and military officials in the ninth year of Hongwu?"

"No, don't ask." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "In the ninth year of Hongwu, we were so hard-hearted that we directly demoted the fourth child to a commoner and expelled him from the family tree. Not only did the fourth child shout about fighting for the heir apparent, but also with Liu Ji It also has something to do with the debt he owes to the fourth child. In short, if the fourth child goes, Liu Ji will definitely come out. As for the reason, don’t ask. "

Ma Xiuying frowned a little tighter.

Clearly, there was something she didn't know.

But what?

Why can't Chongba even say anything to her?

Such a thing is very rare.

All night long, Ma Xiuying was worried and thinking about this matter.

…

The next day.

Xu Mansion, early in the morning, after breakfast, everyone began to work on Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun's trip to Qingtian.

When the sun rises three poles high.

Someone from the palace informed that Ma Xiuying was about to leave.

Mao Laoliu and Jiang Jinzhong drove a carriage, carrying Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun and the two little guys from Xu Mansion.

Not long after leaving, the carriage stopped.

"Master." Mao Laoliu's voice came with a strange tone.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other, frowned slightly, and lifted the curtain in front...

Suddenly, Zhu Di's face turned dark.

Wu Yunqige suddenly stood in front of the carriage, blocking the road. No wonder Mao Laoliu's tone was strange.

Mao Laoliu winked at Jiang Jinzhong, and the two of them ducked away instantly.

They are not suitable for this occasion.

Wu Yunqige walked openly to Xu Miaoyun's side, glanced at Zhu Di, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Sister Miaoyun, Si Lang passed the Jie Yuan exam, and my sister is now Mrs. Jie Yuan..."

Zhu Di looked darkly, "What on earth do you want to do!"

Wu Yunqige's words stopped suddenly. She looked at Zhu Di aggrievedly and handed a brand new cloth bag to Xu Miaoyun with both hands. "I just heard that you and Sister Miaoyun were going to travel far, so I prepared some fried rice for you." , is a specialty of our grassland.”

Just as Zhu Di was about to speak, Xu Miaoyun glared at him with a smile.

Xu Miaoyun turned around and caught the bag with a smile, "Thank you."

"Sister Miaoyun is too polite, I won't disturb you anymore." After Wu Yunqige finished speaking, she turned around, lowered her head, and trotted back to the mansion without a door plaque with an aggrieved look on her face.

The moment he turned around, a smile appeared on his lips.

The moment the house door is closed.

I can't bear it anymore.

Giggle...

He threw his head back and laughed triumphantly.

In order to learn this bitch, she practiced for several days.

Worth it!

What a pleasure!

Zhu Ruruo’s face was so dark and ugly!

Zhu Ruruo must hate her to death now!

I have a worse impression of her!

While she prevented Zhu Ru Ruo from being attracted to her, she also sent a message to the Ming Emperor to entangle Zhu Ru Ruo.

Best of both worlds!

After all, she told the Ming Emperor that she would not marry unless Zhu was rude!

If there is no action, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Ming Emperor.

Narentoya folded her arms, watching Wu Yunqige triumphantly, laughing happily, and reminded at an inappropriate time: "Miss, you have to be happy now, you have to make sure you won't regret it in the future, don't try to be happy now."

Yesterday, the princess experienced countless failures before finally making fried rice.

Today, in order to make Zhu Ruruo disgusted, he gave them all away. She has never seen such a stupid person!

Pasting things upside down is also disgusting.

Find an opportunity for Zhu Ruruo to go back to Zhuzi Lane alone at night.

Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to take a stick, hide in the dark, and rush out to give him a beating?

snort!

Wu Yunqige snorted, walked up to Narentoya, flicked Narentoya's forehead with her finger, smiled happily, and walked towards the courtyard while saying: "Impossible! You can never regret it!"

…

Outside.

The carriage started again.

Jiang Jinzhong and Mao Laoliu leaned their heads against the curtain, eavesdropped...

inside the carriage.

Zhu Di's face was smelly and dark.

Xu Miaoyun untied the small cloth bag, pinched some fried rice from it and put it into her mouth, chewed it slightly, her eyes lit up, pinched some more, and handed it to Zhu Di's lips with a smile, "Try it, it's really delicious. I didn't expect it." , Wu Yunqige still has this kind of skill."

"Don't eat!" Zhu Di pushed Xu Miaoyun's hand away with a dark face, turned his head and said angrily: "Xu Daya, you don't know what Wu Yunqige is doing?"

】

"Aren't you angry at all?"

"She's targeting your man!"

He was very doubtful whether Xu Daya had him in her heart or not!

puff!

There was laughter outside.

Zhu Di suddenly turned his head and shouted coldly: "You two bastards, plug your ears!"

"Master, let's go ahead and hold the horse." Mao Laoliu responded with a smile.

Then, Zhu Di saw two figures jumping to the ground through the curtain.

Xu Miaoyun smiled.

Blushing slightly, he leaned into Zhu Di's ear and whispered with a smile: "I feel that this life is not enough, and I have begun to think about your next life, and the next life. Don't be angry, okay?"

As he spoke, he blocked Yong Ming and Qi Hua's eyes and lightly pecked Zhu Di on the cheek.

Zhu Di turned around, held Xu Miaoyun's cheek, and punished him fiercely.

After a moment, the two of them touched their foreheads. Xu Miaoyun's face turned red, she gasped slightly, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, she asked with a smile: "Are you still angry now?"

"Just do it." Zhu Di replied with a stinky face.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and took out the showkerchief and carefully wiped the lipstick left on the corners of Zhu Di's lips.

Then with a hint of coquettishness: "You wipe it for me."

Only then did Zhu Di smile. While carefully wiping Xu Miaoyun's smeared lipstick, he warned: "Xu Daya, I don't need you to be generous in this kind of thing, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah." Xu Miaoyun smiled and nodded.

"Just pamper me and pamper me. When I turn into a very jealous woman, I'll feel better with you!"

My father was worried that she would become such a woman because Shiro doted on her and spoiled her.

After Zhu Di wiped it off, he put Xiupa into Xu Miaoyun's hands, turned around and sat upright, "Don't be afraid, you are not that kind of woman."

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di with a bright smile on her lips.

…

After the two sides met in the Imperial City Square.

Just keep a low profile and leave the city.

Arrived outside the city.

Tan Yuan was already waiting with dozens of brothers in casual clothes.

After quietly merging into the back, they headed towards Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

…

The official room of the left prime minister.

"Teacher, the Queen left the palace in a low-key manner today and took Zhu Silang and his wife away. What did she do?" Hu Weiyong asked while pouring tea for Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang paused slightly while stroking his beard, "Please ask someone you don't want to see to come back and complete the inspection instead of Zhu Silang."

Hu Weiyong's hand pouring tea paused slightly, then continued, raising his head, "Who?"

The afternoon meeting with the Korean envoys.

Emperor Zhu did say that he would give Zhu Silang a break and find someone to take over the matter, but he never mentioned who to take over.

In the past few days, he was still wondering who Emperor Zhu would choose.

Someone he didn't want to see?

"Liu Bowen!"

Hu Weiyong frowned when he heard this. After a moment, he slowly sat down and said, "He is indeed a person I don't want to see. If this person hadn't been Zhu Silang, I should have sent him on his way in the eighth year of Hongwu..."

As he said that, Hu Weiyong was in a daze...

His dislike of Zhu Silang actually arose in the eighth year of Hongwu.

…

evening.

Zhu Di and his party settled in a county town in Suzhou Prefecture.

Before break.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun went to pay their respects to Ma Xiuying.

After saying goodbye, it’s time to go back.

"Fourth..."

Ma Xiuying suddenly spoke, and Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun turned around.

Zhu Di was stunned when he saw Ma Xiuying hesitated to speak, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Ma Xiuying looked at Zhu Di and asked, "Have you helped Liu Ji before?"

Chongba said that in the ninth year of Hongwu's reign, he ruthlessly demoted the fourth child to a commoner and expelled him from the family tree, which was related to Liu Bowen's debt to the fourth child.

She thought about it and found only one possibility.

Before the incident in the first month of the ninth year of Hongwu, Lao Si helped Liu Ji and had contact with Liu Ji.

Therefore, when Lao Si called out to fight for the heir apparent, Chongba thought of Lao Si and Liu Ji, and suspected that Lao Si had started preparing very early.

Zhu Di frowned and thought hard.

In my memory, I did not help Liu Ji.

Shaking his head, "Mom, I don't remember."

Ma Xiuying had been observing Zhu Di and could see that Zhu Di was not lying.

Or I really forgot.

Either she guessed wrong.

This mystery can only be solved after meeting Liu Ji.

Then he smiled and said, "Mom is just curious. Your father said that as long as you accompany your mother to invite Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen will definitely come out. Mom thinks Liu Bowen owes you a favor."

"Mom, this old cunning guy owes me a debt. If I hadn't helped him attract the attention of his father, Lan Yu and others, would he have been able to enjoy two years of happiness?"

Ma Xiuying smiled and glared, "Go and have a rest, we have to go on the road tomorrow morning."

The couple said hello again and left.

…

The two returned to the house and tiptoed to the crib.

I saw that the two little guys were still sleeping soundly.

After simply tidying up, I went to bed.

Xu Miaoyun crawled beside Zhu Di and said curiously: "Silang, have you noticed that there is something in what the queen said today."

Zhu Di nodded.

"Then you really haven't helped Liu Bowen?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile, "Apart from helping him attract attention, in my memory, I have very little contact with Liu Bowen, so go to sleep."

Xu Miaoyun smiled, curled up in Zhu Di's arms, arched her body, and found the most comfortable position.

Soon, the sound of even breathing sounded.

In the darkness, Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes and frowned.

Why did the queen ask that?

In history, when did Liu Bowen die?

He only knew that this person was very powerful, but he did not know Liu Bowen's birth and death years.

In addition to helping Liu Bowen attract firepower.

Have you ever helped Liu Bowen?

But why, I have no memory of this at all.

After thinking about it, Zhu Di fell asleep.

…

"Fourth uncle!"

"You didn't expect that if you don't fight for the position of the crown prince, in the end, the throne will belong to me, Zhu Yunwen, and you, the patron king of my father, will become a prisoner! Haha..."

…

"Zhu Silang, you didn't expect that we could turn defeat into victory in the end! You have suppressed us for decades!"

"But you are not the emperor after all. You want to kill us, but you have no power to kill us. Do you know why Emperor Xiaokang doesn't kill us? He is not kind. He keeps us just to guard against you!"

"You, Zhu Shiro, have lived a heroic life. You didn't expect that you would end up like this!"

"Zhu Silang, we are going to kill Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Yongming, Zhu Qihua, and by the way, your favorite grandson in front of you..."

"We just want to see if your iron bones will collapse!"

Ha ha……

…

"Shiro! Shiro..."

When a shout came into his ears, Zhu Di opened his eyes suddenly...

Xu Miaoyun cried with tears in her eyes, looking at Zhu Di's murderous face, cold without a trace of temperature, and his eyes were blood red. She seemed to see a sea of ​​blood and corpses in Silang's eyes, "Silang, what's wrong?"

In her sleep, she was suddenly awakened by Silang's body twitching.

After lighting the candle.

She found Silang like this now.

Zhu Di gradually became clear-headed, and the murderous intent surrounding him instantly subsided. He reached out to wipe away Xu Miaoyun's tears, "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."

Silang had experienced a group of 200,000 cavalrymen on the grassland, and he remained calm in the face of danger when attacking and suppressing the Communists.

What kind of nightmare.

It can make Silang's heart stir up such a monstrous murderous intent.

She knew that Silang was indifferent to many things.

But she had never seen Silang's crazy murderous intent.

It is hard to imagine how many people he had to kill to quell the monstrous murderous intent in Silang's heart.

Xu Miaoyun gently wiped the cold sweat off Zhu Di's cheeks and asked softly, "What nightmare? Can you tell me about it?"

"I dreamed that we didn't leave the Ming Dynasty, and my elder brother made me the king of the mountain..."

It was just a dream.

There were too many unreasonable things in the dream.

His character would never allow a scene in the dream to happen.

...

"Hu Weiyong and other old guys who have been suppressed by me for decades took advantage of my elder brother's death and my war outside to lead a palace coup. In the dream, I gave up hundreds of thousands of troops and surrendered, implicating you and me in the disaster..."

This is the biggest loophole in the dream.

He is not a person who surrenders because he is worried about leaving a bad name in history books.

For him, fame is something he wants when he can have it.

When he can't have it, he will kick it away without hesitation.

"Don't worry, maybe before going to bed, I have been thinking about when I helped Liu Bowen, and I can't sleep well, so I have this kind of dream."

Xu Miaoyun rested his head on Zhu Di's chest.

Hearing the voice, she raised her head slightly, "Silang, when Yongming and Qihua grow up, let's go."

Although it was a dream.

But she was also afraid.

Leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

However they want to fight, it has nothing to do with them as a couple.

She was afraid of Silang's murderous intent just now.

She was afraid that if Silang stayed in the Ming Dynasty, one day, he would really not be able to stop killing.

She didn't care about others.

She was worried about Silang!

Silang was in a bad state just now!

Zhu Di hugged Xu Miaoyun, smelled the faint flower fragrance in her hair, and smiled: "Okay."
