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

Chapter 294: Queen Ma wants to plant immortality Gu, and the Ming Dynasty completely changes

The next day.

Fourth Master Zhu and the Great Shaman left Alimari City and continued westward on camels. Zhao Xuanzhen stood on the tower and watched them go away, a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

Because Fourth Master Zhu came, she was a happy woman for a few days. When Fourth Master Zhu left, she became the empress of Dayuan again, and there were still many things waiting for her to decide.

"Mother," Alutai said at the side, "Do you envy the great shaman?"

"No envy!" Zhao Xuanzhen looked firm, "I am the empress of Dayuan, and all women in the world should envy me."

"Yes, mother, you are the most noble woman in the world." Alutai said, "Dayuan needs you!"

"Don't worry, mother will not forget her mission because of your father." Zhao Xuanzhen said.

The mother and son were standing on the city tower. The wind blew their long hair and stirred up the wind and sand. Their shadows outside the city were completely covered by the wind and sand.

Fourth Master Zhu and the Great Shaman were walking in the wind and sand. They had to pass through the Western Regions and eventually go to Khwarazm, where King Yan of the Ming Dynasty was at war with the Timur Empire.

"Do you know why the high priest went to Jingjue Country?" the great shaman asked.

"Why?" Fourth Master Zhu was confused.

During this time in Alimari City, he was entangled with Zhao Xuanzhen and did not pay attention to other things. However, the great shaman found out many things, such as the strong witches in the Byzantine Empire and the powerful Allah in the Ottoman Empire.

"The empress wants to live forever. It is said that Queen Jingjue has found a way to live forever." The great shaman said.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

If he was in his previous life, he definitely didn't believe in immortality, and he still half-believes in it now. However, there are many legends about Queen Jingjue, and there are movies in later generations. Moreover, he met her last time. Queen Jingjue rode a huge python, which completely aroused his curiosity.

"We have to go through Jingjue and have a look." He waved.

"The Jingjue Kingdom is now surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and should welcome you." The great shaman said.

……

Different from the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the Western Regions, the hundreds of thousands of mountains in the southern Xinjiang have warm sunshine, and the Feihuadong is filled with the fragrance of flowers. Queen Ma and Wen'er have been coming here for a while and completely like it.

"After living here for a while, I feel much better physically." Queen Ma said while standing in an exquisite attic.

"Yes, I am awakened by the fragrance of flowers every day." Wener smiled.

She was wearing a tulle dress, her fair skin looming, and her delicate bare feet. However, in Feihuadong, it doesn't matter, because all the people living there are women.

The owner of the cave, Chi Li, came up with two letters, handed them to Queen Ma and said, "These are letters sent by the Marquis of Xiping. One is from the capital and the other is from Dunhuang City."

"Dunhuang City must have been written by Fourth Master." Huner took the letter.

Both of them immediately opened it and looked at it. The letter from the capital in Queen Ma's hand was written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. It was nothing more than some worries and asking her to pay attention to her safety. After reading it, Empress Ma felt warm in her heart. The emperor did not say the word "missing" in her heart, but every sentence meant that she missed herself.

After reading the letter, Huan'er exclaimed: "Xiuying, the Emperor wants Chi Li to plant the Eternal Life Gu on you. He said that you have the right conditions. You are the empress of the Ming Dynasty, and you are blessed with luck, so you will definitely be able to withstand the Eternal Life Gu. ”

"Ah?" Queen Ma was shocked, "Eternal life? I...I don't think this is necessary?"

"Either you really live forever, or you live longer." Chi Li on the side explained, "I think so too. The Queen is suitable for the immortality Gu. You are here, this is fate."

Queen Ma frowned slightly, but shook her head: "I don't want to live that long!"

After hearing this, Hu'er became anxious: "Ma Xiuying! You can't turn your head around, can you? Your Zhu family is no longer the Zhu family before. Your Majesty, with the martial arts taught by the Supreme Emperor, will definitely live a long life. Those sons of yours, especially It’s Zhu Di, the fourth child, who will live longer. Look at your fragile body. Would you be willing to die at the age of several decades?”

Queen Ma suddenly understood!
Now the Zhu family are no longer ordinary people. The Supreme Emperor is almost two hundred years old and can still marry a wife and have children. Zhu Chongba will probably live a long time in the future, so I will have to live a long time too.

"Eternal life Gu, can I do it?" she asked.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will be fully prepared." Chi Li said, "You first practice martial arts with Sister Huer to improve your physique."

"Leave this to me, we still have plenty of time." Wener said.

"Okay, then I will accept the immortality Gu." Queen Ma nodded, "I can also learn Gu from you."

"Great." Chi Li said happily.

……

The capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Shanchang left the capital to return home today, and a group of Huaixi princes came to see him off. At the farewell pavilion outside the city, Li Shanchang toasted to everyone and smiled: "Everyone, I hope you don't blame me. I took the lead and handed in the gold medal for immunity from death. I will go back first. If you want to return home, I will wait for you in Fengyang. "

"Old Prime Minister, take care along the way." Everyone raised their glasses. After everyone drank the wine in their glasses, Li Shanchang glanced over and said in a deep voice: "I would like to say a few words before I leave. Things are no longer what they used to be. The Ming Dynasty is flourishing like a teenager, but we are all old. Your Majesty, protect our glory and wealth. If you should quit drinking, you can still become a rich man and have a peaceful old age.”

The princes listened, some of them deeply believed it, and wanted to find an opportunity to submit their resignation to His Majesty, and walk around while they could still move; some did not think so, thinking that it was their brothers who defeated Ming Dynasty, and they should be more responsible. Enjoy.

"Let's go, everyone, please go back." Li Shanchang waved.

He got on the carriage, which moved forward slowly. He sat on the cushions, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He had previously thought about becoming prime minister again, but now he has completely lost it. The emperor not only deposed the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, but also deposed the governor's office. Even the emperor's close nephew Li Wenzhong would be abandoned, not to mention Li Shanchang?

Over the years, the emperor promoted a large number of new people, and there were not many veterans left in the early years of Hongwu. The so-called Huaixi Xungui and Zhedong Group exist in name only. Today, the upstarts in the court are the Academy Party.

"Hey!" Li Shan sighed and said to himself, "Many old brothers can't look away. They are still immersed in their own achievements. Sooner or later something will happen. I'd better stay away and don't get involved."

……

Imperial Palace, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Bai, King of Xiang, commander of the Jin Yiwei, reported to Zhu Yuanzhang the farewell of the princes and princes to Li Shanchang. He even knew exactly what they said. Zhu Yuanzhang chewed on Li Shanchang's words and snorted: "Mr. Li was so smart before he left that he woke up the prince by saying those words? What does it mean? It implies that we are mean and ungrateful? When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked?"

Zhu Biao on the side smiled and said: "Father, the old Prime Minister has finally grown old. Before leaving, I felt emotional for a moment. It is normal to say a few heartfelt words to the old brothers."

"Just an old fool!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"Father, for the sake of his contribution to the Ming Dynasty, don't worry about it." Zhu Biao smiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and shook his head: "We won't care about it. As long as they behave themselves, we won't embarrass them. Hey, we also want to have old brothers around us to talk to."

"Father, why did you suddenly become depressed?" Zhu Bai said, "You are not old, you can still give birth to a son. Father, it is said that you are going to choose a concubine again? You can do it, my old father, you are always getting stronger."

"Go away!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared, "Let's have more sons to protect the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao came over and paid homage: "Father, please continue criticizing me. I'm going to have a drink with Lao Wu. He just came back. Lao Twelve, let's go together."

Zhu Bai nodded quickly: "Okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the brothers go away and lit a cigar in depression. Recently, he has been getting better and better at this cigar. He seems to be an old smoker.

Zhu Biao took Zhu Bai to the East Palace, where Zhu Biao was already waiting and smoking a cigar. When he saw the two coming in, he hurriedly greeted them. Zhu Biao waved his hand to disperse the smoke and frowned: "Lao Wu, you brought back the cigar. My father is addicted to smoking now. The Wenhua Palace is filled with smoke and it chokes me to death."

"Brother Crown Prince, you have to demarcate smoking restricted areas." Zhu Zhu said, "Smoking can only be done in designated places. Didn't the Emperor have instructions? This is how Beiping City implements it."

"Then let's take a good look at it later, and the capital will implement it." Zhu Biao asked the two of them to sit down, "We brothers have a good drink today!"

……

In southern Xinjiang, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains.

Empress Ma was exorcising the poison, and Chi Li was teaching her, praising: "My dear, you are extremely talented, and you can master it as soon as you learn it. It won't take long before I can plant the immortal poison for you."

"This Gu technique is quite interesting." Queen Ma's eyes flashed, "I seem to like it."

"No wonder the Witch King is a Gu god. He may have inherited your talent." Chi Li said with a smile.

"You're talking about the fourth child." Empress Ma held her forehead, "That little brat, I don't know how he possessed the divine body and became your Witch King."

While the two were chatting, Wen'er came from not far away and asked nervously: "Are all the bugs gone? I'm coming over."

Queen Ma smiled and nodded: "Everyone is gone, come on."

"Miss Huer, you are a saint from the Demon Sect, why are you still afraid of bugs?" Chi Li asked with a smile.

"Oh, after giving birth to a child, there are more things to be afraid of." Huner spread her hands and said, "Chi Li, go to the capital later and give birth to a child for the Supreme Emperor."

Chi Li's face turned red. Empress Ma had a smile on her lips: "Chi Li, when I plant the immortality Gu, you can travel with us and finally leave the capital."

"I'm done with my matters here, and I'm ready to go." Chi Li bowed his head shyly.

"That's not a coincidence, just come with us." Wen'er said excitedly, "Let's go to the northwest first, have a tour, and then return to the capital."

"Okay!" Chi Li nodded.

Queen Ma and Wen'er were very happy to have an extra travel partner. They sat down and began to discuss the route behind Shiwanda Mountain. The more they talked, the more they looked forward to it.

"I'm still a little nervous about planting the gu," Queen Ma said.

"Don't worry, Madam, nothing will happen." Chi Li affirmed.
