Chapter 66 Hu Weiyong: Why did Queen Ma harm me?

Chapter 66 Hu Weiyong: Why did Queen Ma harm me?
"Sister, Weiyong gave us a big gift today!"

Men, when they are proud of something, naturally they can't help but coo in front of their wives.

But while he was still whetting his appetite, Queen Ma came over first.

"Chongba, you said you are a real person. They are all my old brothers. You are already the emperor. Why do you still need to accept gifts from others? Weiyong can't live by himself?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so stupefied by these words that he didn't know what to say.

This... is so damn girly, can you still say that?

Although Hu Weiyong was not rich and powerful, he was definitely a well-to-do family based on the acres of land he was rewarded with.

"Sister, hehe, look what you said."

"Wei Yong came here today carrying a heavy load to offer us treasures."

"Good guy, he comes from a literary background. He never did farm work or carried burdens back then. Now he has become the prime minister, and he is now carrying burdens."

"Hahahaha, but ah, we really have to endure this treasure."

"Our old Zhu family is lacking such a valuable treasure!"

Since the arrival of Queen Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang has seemed to be a completely different person. His tone and demeanor have become much richer.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor before Queen Ma came, so after Queen Ma came, this was the living Zhu Yuanzhang.

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise, then turned to look at Hu Weiyong.

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Then Chongba, you have to thank Ren Weiyong properly, and you can't let this old brother feel cold!"

Look, I didn't even understand what Hu Weiyong got. Queen Ma's attitude was revealed.

At least this attitude makes people feel extremely appropriate.

If other concubines dared to speak like this to Zhu Yuanzhang, then even those who gave birth to several princes would probably be thrown into the cold palace.

But Queen Ma was different. As soon as she said this, Zhu Yuanzhang not only didn't care, but nodded hurriedly.

"We'll talk about the reward later. I won't be at a loss then, just Wei Yong."

"Sister, come on, let's show you the treasure Weiyong presented!"

"Tsk, tsk, [-] shi of fairy grain per acre. With this, the people of Ming Dynasty won't have to worry about not having enough to eat!"

"Just because of this, why don't we have a proper celebration?"

Queen Ma looked in surprise at the two baskets of inconspicuous potatoes that had been moved to the back hall and placed under everyone's noses.

This thing... is so magical?
Empress Ma knew best that her stubborn temper could make Zhu Yuanzhang so happy, so it was naturally true.

But...the yield is thirty stones per mu?

OMG!

With this thing, how could the world be unstable?
Coincidentally, now that everyone was seated, Queen Ma picked up her wine glass first, held it in both hands and saluted Hu Weiyong.

"Wei Yong, I respect you on behalf of Chongba and Biao'er!"

"Please!"

Queen Ma stood up, and she spoke so solemnly. Hu Weiyong could not sit still, so he quickly got up and raised his glass in response.

"Thank you, Empress!"

With the Queen's opening glass of wine, the atmosphere suddenly rose.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao may be able to talk endlessly about political affairs, people's livelihood, and military matters, but if they talk about daily life and create atmosphere, then they can only be regarded as complete trash.

Thanks to Queen Ma's presence, she seemed to be like a slow-flowing river.

It can flow calmly, but also has the tolerance of a vast ocean and a leaping fish.

Not only did the topic never fall to the ground, but the key was that she would neither lose her identity as a queen nor use her identity to be aggressive.

With her around, the atmosphere at the venue is always in a cheerful state.Seeing this, Hu Weiyong really admired him.

It's no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang in the late Hongwu period killed people like crazy.

The superficial reason may be to clear the way for Zhu Yunwen to take over, but what about the inside?

In Hu Weiyong's view, it was more because the only two people in the world who could persuade him and hold his "seal" passed away one after another, which made him completely loosen the reins.

The successive deaths of Queen Ma and Zhu Biao not only stimulated Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions, but also made his rule truly lawless.

Who can advise?
Who dares to persuade?
Moreover, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang might not have had some thoughts of venting in his heart.

After all, the son he had worked so hard to cultivate for many years and his first wife, who had always been close to each other, both left first. Before he went completely crazy, Zhu Yuanzhang was already determined.

Hu Weiyong had an idea at this time: Queen Ma must be flattered.

It doesn't matter how close the relationship is, as long as you perform well in front of Queen Ma, you will have an extra life guarantee.

There are too many ministers in this court who are actually saved by Queen Ma.

Therefore, with the two dishes of fried shredded potatoes and roasted chicken with potatoes that had just been served, Hu Weiyong chatted with Empress Ma enthusiastically.

It has to be said that anyone who can hang out in the imperial dining room is somewhat capable.

With just a few mouthfuls, the shredded potatoes can be fried well but not rotten, crisp and delicious, which shows that the heat is well controlled.

The roasted chicken with potatoes is soft and delicious, full of soup, and full of temptation when you bite it.

Queen Ma, who had cooked by herself when she was following Zhu Yuanzhang in the early years, naturally knew how to cook.

The two of them really started chatting about the taste and cooking method of the potatoes.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to show his knowledge in front of Queen Ma, quickly intervened to express his opinion and praised the taste of the potatoes.

But this is not Zhu Yuanzhang’s nonsense, but potatoes are indeed delicious, and the key is a good combination.

Don’t you see, how many gourmet chefs in later generations are just playing with the potatoes.

Pastries, snacks, main dishes, cold dishes, meat dishes...

There are too many ways to play.

But it remains true to its roots, and the most important point here is that this thing is a real high-starch crop.

So the feeling of fullness after eating is really solid.

Didn't you see that Zhu Biao didn't speak at all at this moment, just immersed in eating?

Zhu Yuanzhang threw a piece of potato into his mouth again and nodded with satisfaction.

"Sister, what you said before is right!"

"When the trial planting of potatoes is over and they are promoted vigorously, we will certainly give a formal reward, but with Wei Yong's heart in mind right now, we can't let Wei Yong go back empty-handed!"

"Wouldn't this make people say that our family has lost etiquette?"

Queen Ma smiled and nodded.

"That's what I meant too!"

"If this immortal food is planted all over the Ming Dynasty in the future, then you will naturally give Chongba a title!"

"Otherwise, for such a great achievement, it would be useless to repay him without giving him a title."

"But today, we have to show our appreciation."

"What's more, Weiyong was the prime minister before. We can't let him just remain a bachelor of the Imperial Academy!"

"How about giving him a promotion?"

When Hu Weiyong heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Queen Ma, are you trying to harm me? !
