The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 38: Longyou Shallow Water Gets Played By Shrimp, The Desperate Phoenix Is Not As Good As A Chicken!

"Longyou was played by shrimps in shallow water, and tigers fell and Pingyang was bullied by dogs!"

"I, a down-and-out phoenix, am no better than a chicken here!"

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang who hadn't reacted yet, and said earnestly.

Hearing such a sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood everything.

People are like this, some things can be revealed as long as they are a little bit, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, who is so smart that people are scared as long as he doesn't get angry.

Empress Ma used three famous quotes including dragon, phoenix and tiger to describe the three of them in their current situation, which can be said to be quite appropriate.

It only takes a little thought to understand the truth.

Yes,

Zhu Yuanzhang did have a way to prove his identity as emperor in that situation.

But in that case, once people know that they are the commanders of the emperor, empress and pro-army, what will these people do?

Everyone knelt down and begged for mercy respectfully?

There should be some loyal and cowardly people kneeling down respectfully and begging for mercy!
But there will definitely be some smart and bold people who will think of going to another level!
That is to let the emperor Lao Tzu wear shackles, can they still live?

According to common sense, it must be all beheaded for public display regardless of the reason!

Although it was a misunderstanding, so what?

Misunderstanding is not the reason for the emperor to wear shackles, even if it is for the sake of the emperor's face, they have to die in a hurry.

No matter how you beg for mercy!
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to insist that he pretends to be the emperor and kill a hundred directly.

This possibility is definitely not impossible, and it is even very likely to happen.

Zhu Yuanzhang just thought about it a little bit, and immediately thought of the horror of this matter!
If he was in the position of the other party, once he realized that the person he misunderstood was His Majesty the Emperor, he would never kneel down and beg for mercy, and he would definitely kill him with a knife!
That is, after becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang understood this truth the most.

With thousands of troops and horses behind him, he is the emperor who "the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die".

If you are in a dangerous situation and expose yourself as the emperor, then the emperor will die!

The reason why I didn't think so much just now was because I was so angry that my brain short-circuited.

Looking back now, it was indeed his sister's approach that was the safest.

Yes,

With his and Mao Xiang's martial arts, not to mention that he can definitely escape with Empress Ma, he is also certain that he can "capture the thief before capturing the king".

But doing so is also very risky!

Now that he is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, with a big family and a big business, there is no need to take such a risk, nor should he take such a risk.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned to look at his sister, apart from the obvious expression of gratitude, there was endless tenderness in his eyes.

At this very moment,
The sunlight gradually diffuses through the tall and narrow ventilation windows, forming a beam of light that looks like a stage light.

And Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma are the middle-aged couple in distress under the 'stage lights'!
Zhu Yuanzhang held Empress Ma's hand tightly, thinking that it was the most tender and slender hand in the world, and he was so precious.

"Sister,"

"We have to say, we are lucky to have you."

"These things, we have to listen to you!"

Empress Ma just smiled and said: "Brother Chong, you always trust me unconditionally, so why not you are my blessing?"

across from them,
Looking at this scene, Mao Xiang felt goosebumps all over his body.

But he also had to admit that what Empress Ma did was right, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who believed in Empress Ma unconditionally, was even more right.

It can also be seen from this incident that it is definitely not accidental that they became the empresses who drove Man Yuan away.

Such a concentric couple can succeed in any field!
In this life, he is worthy of being able to support such an empress and empress couple!

"mother"

Mao Xiang wanted to open his mouth to express his respect and apology to Empress Ma, but he just started the first word "Mother" and before he uttered the next word "Mother", he was stared shut by Empress Ma's stern eyes mouthed.

Empress Ma beckoned and signaled Mao Xiang to come around, so that she could whisper in her ear: "Be careful that the walls have ears."

"You were so stunned all the way, didn't you notice that there was something wrong with this cell?"

"They deliberately arranged for us to go to the cell in this corner, and left several cells in the back empty, just to give us the illusion that no one is around and we don't need to be wary."

"If my guess is correct, they must have sneaked into our next door, maybe their ears are against the wall!"

"Since you have understood my intentions, you should whisper in your ear if you want to talk in the future. You must not call your majesty and empress. There are only master and madam here!"

"."

As soon as Queen Ma finished speaking,
Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang looked at the wall in front of them, their gazes were as sharp as hawks, as if they could see through thick walls.

Of course, this is impossible.

But what Empress Ma said was true, the walls really have ears!
In their next cell,

Ye Qing just sat upright on the bed, looking at the spy captain with his ears against the wall and his buttocks eavesdropping, and his assistant, the county magistrate.

"What did they say?"

Ye Qing saw that the secret service captain and assistant Xiancheng were still listening attentively, but they hadn't reported, so he took the initiative to ask.

The two who had just arrived in place just frowned and shook their heads, then continued to listen, for fear of missing even a single word.

Seeing the two shake their heads, Ye Qing felt a little surprised.

They just stare wide-eyed like this?
Don't confess a single word?

Thinking of this, Ye Qing unconsciously shook his head.

Don't think too much, they must have realized that walls have ears.

Since he is an elite spy from the Northern Yuan Dynasty that all agents should take special care of, he still has some anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

If this is the case, just let the two of them eavesdrop here, it is very likely that they will not eavesdrop on anything.

He has to think of another way!
After a while, Ye Qing looked at the tall and narrow air vent window.

Just when Ye Qing looked at the air vent window with rather deep eyes, Empress Ma next door started again.

In the prison next door,
Empress Ma listened to Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, and said in a very low voice: "In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, you two must hold back no matter what from now on, and temporarily forget that you are the emperor and general."

"We'll talk about it after we get out!"

After hearing this, Mao Xiang immediately nodded and said: "Yes, we have to find a way to escape. Rest assured, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I am an expert in escape."

"When rebuilding Yingtian Mansion Prison and Sky Prison, in order to test their safety, I was imprisoned in person and then escaped from the prison."

"The Imperial Prison and the Heavenly Prison are so impenetrable that I can escape. I don't believe it. I can't escape from the big prison in this small county?"

"After the minister goes out, he will immediately dispatch troops."

After hearing what Mao Xiang said, Queen Ma immediately explained the layout of the prison.

The next moment, Mao Xiang, an expert in escape, was immediately discouraged.

Again, because he was so angry that he lost his mind, he didn't pay attention to the architectural layout of the prison.

After Queen Ma's brief explanation, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

Because he had already figured out what would happen if he ran away, he would definitely be shot as a hedgehog halfway through the run!
"Since we can't escape, how can we get out?"

"Is it really waiting for them to acquit us after they find us wronged?"

Seeing that Mao Xiang was discouraged, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his sister and asked in a low voice.

It's just that such a thing as acquittal, he himself feels unlikely.

This chance is not impossible, but absolutely minimal.

Putting hope on improbable things is not what an emperor should do.

Those who used to be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes may still be able to gamble like this.

Now that the family has a big business, they really can't afford to gamble!

"Although we can't escape from here, we still have a way to escape!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was frowning, Empress Ma said confidently!
