Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 201 Fourth Master Zhu: Give Emperor Yuan a cuckold
Huan'er slept until noon, then lazily got up and walked into the garden. The master and apprentice had disappeared, and only the maid came forward to report: "Girl, the master gave special instructions before going out. The soup will be delivered to you as soon as you wake up."

"Just bring it to the garden." Wener waved her hand casually.

She looked around leisurely. This courtyard full of Jiangnan charm made her secretly complain. This old man really knows how to enjoy himself. He never forgets to pursue the elegance of life no matter where he is. After finishing the meal slowly, there was still no sign of Fourth Master Zhu and Zhu Di, so she went out leisurely.

After wandering around the street to make sure that no one was following her, she suddenly accelerated, skimming across the rooftops and alleys, and soon appeared in front of a hidden courtyard in the north of the city.

Flying in, he saw more than a hundred people gathered in the courtyard, led by Zhu Chongjiu. When he saw Wen'er's arrival, he frowned slightly: "Holy girl, you have finally appeared. Where did you go after the assassination? We thought something had happened to you. How can I explain this to the Demon Lord?"

Weier glanced at him coldly and hummed: "You should take care of yourselves first! This assassination operation is obviously not going to succeed. What is your purpose?"

Zhu Chongjiu spread his hands and showed a helpless smile: "Of course it is to make the Northern Yuan court more chaotic and has no time to take care of the Goryeo side."

"So you're going to sacrifice people from our Demon Sect?" Wen'er asked in a cold tone.

"We are allies." Zhu Chongjiu explained, "Your Demon Sect will receive our full support. The Demon Lord should be very clear that he has no place in Beiyuan."

"Do you want Queen Qi to die?" Weier continued to ask coldly.

Fourth Master Zhu felt a shiver in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Back to your Majesty, I am actually doing this to get closer to those wealthy young men so that I can better serve your Majesty."

In excitement, she waved her arms, but lost her balance slightly. Fourth Master Zhu had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed her hand and gently held her waist with his other hand. The queen's hands are soft and delicate, with a touch of warmth, and her figure is also soft and boneless, which makes people's hearts flutter.

A strange emotion flashed in Queen Qi's eyes, but she quickly withdrew her hand, took a step back, and restored her majestic posture. She stared at Master Zhu with cold eyes and said sternly: "You are so brave, how dare you be rude to me!"

Empress Qi slowly turned around, her charming eyes flickering on Fourth Master Zhu: "I heard that you have been lingering in Wanhua Tower day and night recently, but is it because of important court matters?"

He secretly thought in his heart, Zhao Xuanzhen, I can't help it. Although you are my wife, there is no small love in front of Ming Dynasty. I will weaken you first, and then weaken this Empress Qi. You will start fighting among yourself.

"There are two ways to go." Zhu Chongjiu smiled bitterly, "In the end, the two dragons flew away, and the foreign ministers shed tears. Goryeo is just a small country, what can we do?"

Fourth Master Zhu pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "My queen's current worry is nothing more than the murder of the prime minister's son. I have a plan that can not only help the prime minister to avenge his hatred, but also remove Boyan from the position of minister of the Ministry of War. Come on, break the eldest princess’s arm.”

A glimmer of light flashed in Queen Qi's eyes when she heard this. She walked towards Fourth Master Zhu, her chest lightly fluttered with gauze, revealing her looming and delicate skin. The green silk hair falls down like a waterfall on her chest, adding a bit of charm. She leaned close to Fourth Master Zhu's ear and whispered: "Tell me, if your strategy satisfies me, I will be rewarded."

Queen Qi stood in front of the window, wearing a gorgeous long dress that fit close to her body, perfectly outlining her graceful figure. Her jet-black hair was dancing in the wind, and her mature and charming face had a hint of confusion. She is like a fairy in a painting, enchanting and beautiful.

"Hmph, didn't you guys secretly contact Daming? Why did you come to interfere with Bei Yuan's affairs again?" Hou'er asked in confusion.

Queen Qi was stunned by this sudden close contact. She didn't expect Fourth Master Zhu to dare to touch her body so presumptuously. Fourth Master Zhu's eyes were hot and he said with a sincere expression: "Empress, you are so beautiful."

"That's right!" Zhu Chongjiu nodded calmly, "If she dies, her family in Goryeo will completely lose power."

Fourth Master Zhu was summoned into the palace by the queen, and he came to Xingsheng Palace. Hesar stood at the door like a jade carving in the ice, his cold eyes lowered, never casting a glance. Fourth Master Zhu smiled slightly and joked: "Miss Sa'er, I came here today to express my resignation to the Empress, and I hope you can pass it on."

The corners of Queen Qi's lips were slightly raised, with a playful smile: "Oh? How do you plan to help me? Tell me."

Fourth Master Zhu plucked up the courage, took a step forward, leaned close to Empress Qi's ear, and revealed his plan in a low voice. When Queen Qi heard this, a glint flashed in her eyes and she praised: "This is a wonderful plan!"

Fourth Master Zhu bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Queen."

Huner sneered after hearing this, but she thought to herself: You, Zhu Chongjiu, are not from Korea, so what do you want? Then why did Goryeo Li Chenggui obey your advice?
……

Fourth Master Zhu didn't take it seriously and walked lightly into the hall. A unique fragrance assaulted the nostrils, and white smoke curled up from the small incense burners on the left and right sides, lingering in the entire hall. This fragrance is refreshing and calming.

Hesar's voice was cold, as if without any emotion: "Your Majesty is already waiting, please go in quickly."

Fourth Master Zhu's heart trembled, and he quickly leaned down to salute, pretending to be panicked and explained: "I'm sorry, I just saw that you were about to fall, so I helped you out of desperation. Your appearance is indeed amazing, I can't help myself at the moment, so I ask your Majesty to forgive me for my rude behavior."

A hint of cunning flashed in Queen Qi's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by the coldness. She glanced at Fourth Master Zhu coldly and warned: "Remember your identity! If you dare to be presumptuous next time, you will not be leniently spared!"

"I know that I am guilty, and I will leave." Master Zhu knew that it was enough, and after bowing, he left the hall. Empress Qi looked at his back and raised her lips slightly: "He is a talented person, and his strategies are also vicious! Come and tell the Prime Minister."

……

The sun finally came out, so Zhu Di took his friends out to bomb the streets again. Recently, he instigated Yesudier and the others to collect protection fees and made a lot of money.

At this moment, he stopped in front of a cloth shop. The shop owner is a middle-aged man with a plump figure and a friendly face. With a bit of domineering attitude, Zhu Di walked up to him and said, "Boss, are you ready for this month's share of the money?"

When the middle-aged shop owner saw that Zhu Di was the only one coming, he stepped forward with a smile on his face but his voice was very low: "Where are the storms and clouds going?"

When Zhu Di heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly looked around to confirm that his companions had not followed, so he responded in the same low voice: "The moon shines brightly, and the journey of a thousand miles is long."

A trace of joy flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged shop owner. He slightly cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, is a secret guard of Jin Yiwei, codenamed Jin Abacus. We have been looking for the whereabouts of you and Fourth Master. His Majesty sent a team specially Jin Yiwei is here to meet you."

"Response? No need to respond." Zhu Di waved his hand, "We have to organize our work and are busy. You can send a message to father. Master and I are very good."

"Your Highness, please explain the situation in detail. How did the Fourth Master become an official of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" Fatty said anxiously, "We can report to His Majesty. He is worried about you."

"Oh, when my master became an official, he wanted to give Emperor Yuan a green hat." Zhu Di spread his hands.

He briefly explained the situation between Master Zhu and himself. After hearing this, Jin Abacus was shocked: "Can you still play like this? Do you need our cooperation? The deputy commander Ding Xiu is in the city."

Zhu Di pondered slightly: "I will go back and report to the master. I will come back to you if I have anything."

The fat man understood immediately, took out a bag of silver and handed it to him, saying loudly: "Thank you for taking care of me, gang leader. Come back next month."

Zhu Di took a bag of silver and went out, and happened to bump into Yesudier and the others. It seemed that everyone had gained a lot.

……

Wanhua Tower.

Fourth Master Zhu came here, found those young men from wealthy families, and drank together. Li Lianhua's death didn't seem to have any impact on them.

"Brother Tang, I'm afraid the Prime Minister won't give up easily this time, right?" A young man in white asked softly.

Fourth Master Zhu sneered and put down the wine glass in his hand, "That's natural! The Prime Minister has spoken out. If the Yingchang Mansion cannot sentence Na Yan to death, he would rather give up his position as Prime Minister and seek justice for his son. A debt must be repaid with blood.”

The young man in white furrowed his brows when he heard this, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening!"

"Hmph, for the sake of his son, the prime minister will turn a blind eye even if he causes an uproar." A hint of cunning flashed in Mr. Zhu's eyes, "After all, it was his son who died. What is at stake here The court will naturally weigh the relationship carefully."

The young master in white was silent for a moment, and then asked: "In Brother Tang's opinion, isn't that Yan a dead end?"

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's not impossible. As long as he is willing to plead guilty, we can find another death row prisoner to replace him and send him out of Yingchang City without anyone noticing. In this way, maybe I can still give him a chance of survival.”

When the young man in white heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he obviously took this strategy to heart. Seeing this, Fourth Master Zhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered in his heart. He had already seen that the young man in white was actually Boyan's man, and these words were just told to him on purpose.

……

three days later.

News came out that Boyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, replaced his son Nayan, who had committed a capital crime, with a death row prisoner. He sent people to take his son out of Yingchang City. Unexpectedly, he was blocked at the back door by Prime Minister Jia Si Jian and others.

Na Yan was arrested by the prison officer and brought the matter to the emperor. The matter became a big deal. Na Yan was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment again. Boyan was so anxious that he ran to the eldest princess's house and asked the eldest princess to save his son's life no matter what. He was an only son. The eldest princess had no choice but to ask him to go back and wait for news.

At this time, Fourth Master Zhu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he wanted to make the matter bigger.
