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

Chapter 298 After Queen Ma asked for her resignation, Lao Zhu became anxious.
Xi'an City.

Queen Ma, Wen'er and Chi Li are here for fun. Empress Ma had long wanted to come to Xi'an, the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasties. After entering the city, she visited several historic sites.

"Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery. Thousands of gates are opened on the top of the mountain. A red concubine riding on a horse laughs, but no one knows that it is lychee." She stood on the city tower and sighed, "The powerful Tang Dynasty also died in the end."

"The Ming Dynasty will definitely be better than the Tang Dynasty." Wu'er said confidently, "creating a dynasty that lasts for thousands of years."

"Three hundred years of dynasty are rare." Queen Ma smiled, "I don't have that desire."

"Empress, you must have it. You are now carrying the Immortality Gu. You will live a long life." Chi Li said.

The three of them were walking and chatting. When they went down the tower, they met a general in armor. The general was shocked at first when he saw Queen Ma, and then he immediately bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, Fu Youde, see the Queen. When did you enter the city?" ? Why don’t you inform me? I’ll go and greet you.”

"Mr. Ying, please get up." Queen Ma raised her hand, "I am traveling incognito this time, so I won't disturb you. You are stationed in Xi'an, which is very good. The people all praise you."

"I'm just showing the land to King Qin, but who would have known that King Qin went to Japan and has not come yet to join the vassal state." Fu Youde smiled helplessly, "I also want to go overseas to fight. Guarding this city is really too idle. Your Majesty. , can you talk to the emperor about sending ministers overseas, including Nanyang and the Western Regions?"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. You can tell the emperor yourself." Queen Ma waved her hand.

Fourth Master Zhu focused his eyes and saw little red snakes everywhere on the trees and on the ground, and some even spit out messages at them. He said helplessly: "If that guy Zhu Di is here, he can solve these little things with just a splash of urine."

Fu Youde frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, since I have met you, I will report to you the recent events in the capital. Something big has happened in the capital..."

After a life-long love affair between Master Zhu and the great shaman, they embraced each other and fell asleep. The great shaman's fair skin was glowing with a touch of red, gorgeous but not vulgar, charming but not seductive, which was intoxicating.

"Did you smell it? There is a faint smell of blood in the air." Fourth Master Zhu reminded in a low voice.

But suddenly, the great shaman screamed: "Snake! There is a snake here!"

"The source should be here." The great shaman said firmly.

"So you feel the same way?" The great shaman sat up, "I also feel that something is wrong with this Jingjue City. Let's go and have a look."

"Okay, arrange fast horses, not carriages!" Queen Ma looked anxious.

Then, he told the story of how the emperor held a moonlight banquet and killed the consort and captured the ministers. After hearing this, Queen Ma's face changed drastically: "It seems that I have to return to the capital."

"I always feel that this Jingjue City is weird and has a strange smell." Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

"Empress, I will send someone to take you back to Beijing." Fu Youde bowed.

"Are you interested in exploring Jingjue Palace at night?" Fourth Master Zhu raised his eyebrows.

"What? Want to seduce Queen Jingjue?" The great shaman glared.

As soon as they stepped into this garden, they felt an overwhelming chill. Under the hazy moonlight, the shadows of the trees are heavy, giving people an indescribable and strange feeling.

Fourth Master Zhu held her hand tightly, and the two of them flew over the high wall and landed lightly in the garden.

A cold moon hung in the starry sky, and the inn yard was covered with frost.

Excellent city.

The great shaman frowned slightly, nodded affirmatively, and pointed to the depths of the palace. The two quickly followed the smell of blood and went deeper. As they moved forward, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Soon they came to a high wall.

……

The two of them put on their clothes, left the inn, flew away, and disappeared into the night. The next moment, they arrived at Jingjue Palace and flew in. There were not many guards in the palace. With their cultivation, the guards could not detect them at all.

"Let's go inside." Fourth Master Zhu held the great shaman's hand tightly and comforted her.

The great shaman looked around and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are there so many snakes in this palace?"

……

The two continued to move forward, and unexpectedly saw a long rift valley in the garden. They approached the rift and looked down. The pungent smell of blood rushed up from the bottom of the rift.

"This is an abyss." Mr. Zhu frowned.

With his current level of cultivation, he couldn't even see the bottom of the rift valley. There was pitch black below. He patted the great shaman who was staring down and spread his hands: "When you are staring at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you."

The great shaman obviously didn't know this. She frowned: "There is an abyss in the Jingjue Palace, so what is under this abyss? The smell of blood comes from below."

Fourth Master Zhu suddenly heard a low roar, and he quickly pulled the great shaman and flew away to hide among the trees in the garden. The next moment, the low roar became clearer and clearer, coming from the abyss.

Roar!
A huge python flew out of the abyss and landed in the garden. Master Zhu was shocked. He saw that standing on top of the python was none other than Queen Jingjue.

The python slowly swam out of the garden, and Fourth Master Zhu and the great shaman came out, their faces full of horror. It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable facing a snake.

"Why is Queen Jingjue down here?" The great shaman wondered.

"How does she control snakes?" Fourth Master Zhu looked strange, "Is it possible that she is a snake girl? Damn, you better go back, it always feels like it's chilly here."

"Don't you want to go down and have a look?" The great shaman pointed at the abyss.

Fourth Master Zhu shook his head decisively, but with a slight smile on his lips: "Next time, we can bring a fire starter and throw it down."

"Haha, you are despicable enough." The great shaman nodded.

The two flew away and quickly disappeared into the night.

……

The capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In a courtyard in the north of the city, Wu Yu and Ao Gu stood in the pavilion, one mature and the other bright, but at the moment their faces were solemn and full of worries. Ao Gu frowned and said bitterly: "Empress Ma has obtained the immortality Gu. It is already extremely difficult to take her life."

Wu Yu also sighed softly and continued: "Today's Ming Dynasty, the pace of overseas expansion has made its national destiny prosperous, and the Zhu family's luck has also spread, and their family seems to have got rid of the entanglement of bad luck. "

"The Empress wrote to us before and warned us not to act rashly." Ao Gu showed a helpless look. "We already compensated 10,000 cattle and sheep for the last conflict. Now even the Empress does not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty."

"If it weren't for the support of the Empress, Dayuan would have ceased to exist." Wu Yu sighed.

"But I think the Ming Dynasty will never let Dayuan go. Their ambition will drive them to take action sooner or later." Ao Gu analyzed, "The reason why they haven't taken action yet is just because of the subtle relationship between the Empress and the Supreme Emperor. Contained them."

Before she finished speaking, Lu's graceful figure walked into the courtyard. The eyes of Wu Yu and Ao Gu turned to her at the same time, and they exchanged meaningful glances with each other. They all know that if Dayuan still has a chance of survival, Lu will be the key chess piece. After Zhu Yunwen ascends the throne, Lu's importance will become even more prominent, and she may be the key to changing the entire situation.

Wu Yu walked towards Lu with a gentle smile and asked softly: "Lu, how is your recent cultivation progress?"

Lu bowed slightly to Wu Yu respectfully, "Master, I still have some confusions in my cultivation, and I just want to ask you for advice."

"I will try my best to guide you." Wu Yu's smile revealed his expectations for Lu, "Lu, don't rush for success in your cultivation. You have to be patient. One day, you will return to the palace. "

"Yeah!" Lu nodded heavily.

After she was rescued by Wu Yu and Ao Gu, she started practicing hard.

……

Imperial Palace, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the fold and selected a group of officials who would be sent to the execution ground and beheaded. Zhu Biao couldn't bear it anymore and knelt down and said: "Father, although Jingchuan Marquis Cao Zhen, Heshou Marquis Zhang Yi, Junshou Marquis Zhu Shou, Dingyuan Marquis Wang Bi, and Dongguan Bo He Rong are guilty, please keep them in mind." After many years of military service, let them die."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and shouted sternly: "Biao'er, stand up!"

Zhu Biao did not flinch. He continued: "Father, although these military princes are guilty, their crimes are not fatal. You can completely deprive them of their military power and send them back to their hometowns to make the local officials look at them."

As he spoke, he raised a thorn covered with spikes next to him and held it firmly. Blood quickly seeped out from between the fingers, staining the thorn red. His voice was firm: "Father, my son is not afraid of these thorns. I have the ability to hold this thorn tightly. My son does not need my father to pull it out for me, and I don't want my father to be recorded in the history books in the future. Cook and get a bad reputation.”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at his son and fell into a long silence. Finally, he waved his hand and said: "Then let's think about it again, Biao'er. You first go to the imperial doctor to treat the wound."

Zhu Biao slowly exited the Wenhua Hall, while Zhu Yuanzhang was still sitting on the imperial chair, frowning, and fell into deep contemplation.

……

Korean government.

Li Shanchang was feeding the fish in the backyard. Standing next to him was a servant. Li Shanchang sighed quietly: "Lu Shan, you have been with me for more than twenty years."

"Master, it's been twenty-three years." Lu Shan nodded.

"I'm asking you today, how long do I have left?" Li Shanchang smiled lightly.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Lu Shan was puzzled.

Li Shanchang put down the bait in his hand, looked Lu Shan up and down, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You are the secret guard of the Jinyi Guards. I already know it. Recently, many courtiers have been reported by servants at home. When are you going to report me? Haha, just go to your Jinyi Guards. I’m not afraid of prison either.”

Lu Shan suddenly panicked and knelt down quickly: "Master, how could I report you? Yes, I am a secret guard of the Jinyi Guard, but you have been idle at home all these years, so what can I report? Besides, Master You are like family to me.”

"Hehehe, Lu Shan, I guess you still have some conscience." Li Shanchang chuckled, "But, I feel like I can't pass this level."

Lu Shan's face changed drastically, and he bowed again: "Sir, you will be fine. I have not reported anything bad to you to the Jin Yiwei. Besides, you have worked hard and are loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

Li Shanchang had a smile on his face and waved his hand: "Lu Shan, please go down. I'll lie down alone for a while."

He watched Lu Shan go away, a cold light flashing in his eyes. He had known that Lu Shan was a royal guard, so he kept him by his side to reassure the emperor. This move was used today.

……

Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma came back, and Princess Anqing ran to her. Her grievances turned into tears, claiming that she had no regrets in life. Seeing this, Empress Ma was heartbroken. She gently comforted her daughter for a while before ordering her to be sent back.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly came from the Wenhua Palace and saw Queen Ma's cold face. He knew full well that his execution of the consort Ouyang Lun would undoubtedly offend the Queen.

"Sister, why did you come back suddenly?" Zhu Yuanzhang tried to ask in a relaxed tone, but he could not hide the uneasiness in his heart.

Empress Ma's tone was cold: "If I don't come back, my family will not be home. Chongba, if you want to kill Ouyang Lun, just kill him. Why do you want to humiliate him in every possible way? Force him to serve tea to all the uncles before committing suicide. Good on you Zhu Chongba. The great dragon is mighty.”

"Sister, we warned you, and I'll warn you again today." Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, he raised the jade Ruyi and pointed it at the queen, and said in a stern tone, "The harem is never allowed to interfere in politics. If you persist in your obsession, we will... I will kill you. Give……"

"What do you want?" Queen Ma suddenly stood up and approached Zhu Yuanzhang, her eyes like daggers, filled with grief and anger, "You want to seal my Kunning Palace? Just seal it! Let me tell you clearly, Zhu Chong Eight, I am not only preparing you to seal the palace, I am also preparing you to depose the queen. But before you seal the palace and depose the queen, I have to tell you that you have done nothing but kill Ouyang Lun. Well, sir, they are worthy of death! What do you want to do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was forced to take a few steps back and hesitated to speak. Empress Ma was so powerful that she snorted coldly: "Also, I am not Ouyang Lun, who was forced to commit suicide. As soon as your decree comes to seal the palace and abolish it, I will immediately kneel down to thank Tian En, and then go to the Ancestral Temple to commit suicide. However, I will not hate you, because this is the fate of the queen, and since I am worthy of being the queen, I will accept this fate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is numb!
After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to leave, but turned around suddenly, snatched the jade Ruyi from Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and accused with tears in her eyes: "You can kill me, but don't point this thing at me, I'm not itchy."

She threw it hard, and with a bang, Lao Zhu's favorite jade Ruyi was smashed to pieces. Then, she threw up her sleeves and left. Lao Zhu stood stunned on the spot. This was the biggest anger Queen Ma had ever had in front of him.

The corner of his mouth twitched, he bent down to pick up the broken jade Ruyi, sat down on the ground, cried, put his hands in his sleeves, hung his head, and pouted, feeling aggrieved.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded again. Queen Ma left and returned, shouting angrily: "Get out! This is my Kunning Palace, get out of here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up slowly and silently withdrew step by step. At this moment, he had no intention of arguing and just wanted to escape from this suffocating atmosphere.

However, he still wants to kill people!
