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

Chapter 300 Queen Ma: Zhu Chongba issued an edict to sin against himself
Not Hualacheng.

This is the eastern border of the Timur Empire, but it has been captured by the Ming army. Fourth Master Zhu led the great shaman into the city. As he looked, the lives of the people in the city were normal. There were also notices from King Yan on the walls of the streets to calm the people.

"King Yan is young and has a lot of skills." The great shaman praised, "It's not like Dayuan in the past, who would massacre cities at every turn, and the people in the Western Regions would change their expressions upon hearing this."

"It's God's whip." Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "It's still very domineering. Those people in the West, who were beaten until they lost their temper, looked for reasons in themselves and offended God."

"Through this journey, King Yan has also become famous in the Western Regions." The great shaman asked, "Aren't the Ming Dynasties worried about him establishing himself as king?"

"He dares!" Fourth Master Zhu snorted, "I break his legs."

"Haha." The great shaman's eyes were full of sarcasm, "Have you ever been able to beat him? Zhu Di is now possessed of the Seven Ultimate Divine Gu. You are no match for him, right?"

"Your provocation method doesn't work." Fourth Master Zhu chuckled, "Let's go see that kid. I haven't seen him for a long time."

They came to a palace in the city, which was said to be the former palace of Emperor Timur of Timur. It was here that Timur sat and commanded the attack on the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Zhu Di was in the palace, sitting on a chair with his golden sword, listening to the report from his general Zhang Yu: "Now the Timur Empire's army has returned to Samarkand, and their fourth prince Shaharu led an army of 200,000 Coming towards us."

"He's also the fourth child, so just wait for him!" Zhu Di smiled disdainfully, "Destroy his 200,000 troops first."

After hearing this, Zhu Di was overjoyed. He jumped up from his chair and hurriedly walked out of the hall. The generals followed him without knowing what happened. When he arrived outside the palace, he saw an old man with silver-haired snow approaching with a peerless beauty. Zhu Di bowed respectfully to the silver-haired old man and said, "Welcome to the Emperor."

Fourth Master Zhu ignored her and talked to Zhu Di about the current situation. Now the Ming army has controlled the entire Western Region, and the countries in the Western Region have formed a coalition of 100,000 troops, under Zhu Di's command.

The generals were shocked and hurriedly worshiped together: "Welcome to the Supreme Emperor."

"Shameless!" The great shaman got up and left in anger, "You and your grandsons can drink while I go out for a walk."

"Zhang Yu, remove all the guards around me." Zhu Di sneered, "As long as I kill those assassins with my own hands, no more assassins will dare to come."

"The Timur Empire should not be underestimated." Zhu Di said after taking a sip of wine, "Their army is also a soldier who has fought hundreds of battles and is extremely powerful. Timur's family is full of talents, and there are many generals in the army. ”

"Your Highness, it is said that there are many Western masters in their army, so we should not take it lightly." Zhang Yu looked solemn, "Nowadays, there are too many people who want to assassinate you, Your Highness."

……

He remembered historical records that after the death of Timur, Shaharul also launched a revolt and seized the country from his eldest nephew, the Western Region version of Zhu Di.

Fourth Master Zhu laughed, and Zhu Di invited him into the palace. The grandfather and grandson had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they wanted to have a drink and talk. After a while, the two of them toasted and drank in front of a table of sumptuous food and wine. Zhu Di's eyes fell on the Great Shaman, and he asked with a half-smile: "Grandpa, the Great Shaman is now my...grandma?"

"Grandpa, don't cheat people when we meet, okay?" Zhu Di was speechless, "Isn't this for the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di filled a glass of wine for Fourth Master Zhu and said, "Grandpa, you came just in time. Recently I have been facing waves of assassinations. I need someone to help me block them."

"The old leader of the Great Light Palace, known as Huo Shan, the Old Man of the Mountain, is not dead." Zhu Di frowned, "He fled to the Timur Empire, and now he is uniting with some witches, knights, Allah, etc. in the West to kill me. ”

"Little bastard, I'm here, why don't you come out to greet me." A familiar voice said.

"Go away!" The great shaman said angrily, "We are just traveling together."

But this made Zhang Yu even more worried, but King Yan's order would not change and he could only abide by it.

Fourth Master Zhu took a sip and said with a smile: "That Saharu is just like you. Hehe, their life trajectories are very similar. A fight between you would be interesting."

"Oh, just traveling together? Don't we sleep together?" Zhu Di blinked.

"Who else can assassinate you?" Fourth Master Zhu glared, "Didn't you kill the Great Guangming Palace alone? The Great Guangming Palace was destroyed by you, and there are still masters in the Western Regions who dare to assassinate you?"

Fourth Master Zhu held the great shaman and raised his hand towards Zhu Di: "Boy, you are so powerful now. King Yan of the Ming Dynasty is famous in the Western Regions, and everyone says that you will become the king on your own."

"It's quite interesting!" Fourth Master Zhu said with a playful smile, "Our grandson and grandson will play with them."

……

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the sky is slightly bright.

It was already very lively in front of the palace, with carriages coming and going, all ministers going to attend the morning court. Looking around, there are so many people, and most of them are middle-aged. There are not many ministers left in the early years of Hongwu.

"I heard that His Majesty has detained the old Prime Minister in the South Korean palace and wants to investigate him! It is said that Hu Weiyong once invited the old Prime Minister to join him in a rebellion."

"A lot of military princes have been arrested. How can he, the big brother of Huaixi, be fine? Your Majesty burned their death-free coupons back then. I knew something would happen."

"Hmph, those nobles should be arrested! Are any of them innocent?"

"Who can reach the current position with a clean butt? If the old prime minister falls, it means that the Huaixi nobles are completely defeated. Then, isn't the academy party dominating the court?"

"You can't say that. The people in the academy are also divided. Some support His Royal Highness, and some secretly support King Yan. You all know, right? King Yan is marching to the west and is about to conquer the Ming Dynasty."

"Don't worry about it. The Queen is back and she won't let Her Majesty go on a killing spree."

The ministers entered Fengtian Hall and the morning court began.

Li Jinglong, the governor of the Zuojun Dudu Mansion, reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin officially opened his palace in Nanyang. The kings of Nanyang came to worship him and respect him as the emperor of Nanyang. However, the King of Jin refused and asked them to respect the Ming Dynasty as their master. ”

"The third child dare not establish himself as king." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"Your Majesty, Yao Guangxiao suggested that the Nanyang countries should be autonomous areas of the Ming Empire." Li Jinglong smiled, "Let their kings retain the title of king. Of course, they must listen to us."

"Let Yao Guangxiao return to Beijing. We want to listen to his details." Zhu Yuanzhang waved.

"According to the decree." Li Jinglong reported again, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin in Japan is a little too happy to think about Shu. His territory is getting bigger and bigger, and neither the emperors of the north nor the south of Japan dare to mess with him."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "That big place in Japan has been fighting for so many years and there is still no winner?"

Li Jinglong smiled: "Isn't it up to us? Whoever we help will win. However, Japanese people are stubborn and insist on fighting to the death."

"Haha, let them go then." Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled.

After Li Jinglong finished reporting, Xu Yungong, the governor of the Right Army Governor's Mansion, continued to report: "Your Majesty, King Yan has captured the Buhuala City of the Timur Empire. The battle with the Timur Empire has officially begun. It is estimated that there will be a fight. King Yan needs us to transport more guns and artillery." "No need to send more troops?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The Western Regions have formed a coalition of 100,000 troops to help King Yan." Xu Yungong said, "King Yan now has strong soldiers and horses. He will have no problem recruiting another 500,000 soldiers and horses."

"Haha, doesn't this little bastard Si Lao have an army of millions in his hands?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

The ministers were frightened. They would be outside with heavy troops, which was a big taboo. What's more, King Yan is the most capable prince of the Ming Dynasty. As the veteran generals gradually wither, King Yan is the Ming Dynasty's support.

……

Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma was lying on the soft couch, looking pale and extremely weak. Wener stood in front of the bed, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really lifelike, as if you are terminally ill. If I hadn't known that you had the immortality Gu, I would have thought that you were about to die."

"Keep your voice down." Queen Ma glared, "If Chongba finds out, won't this play be impossible to continue?"

"The emperor hasn't come to admit his mistake yet?" Wener glared angrily.

"I'm here, but I'm not admitting my mistake. I'm just praising myself." Queen Ma snorted.

"Then what are you going to do? Keep going like this?" Wener frowned.

"Don't worry, I have the immortality Gu, it's completely fine." Queen Ma smiled, "Don't I look more realistic like this? This time, I have to change Chongba's murderous nature."

A sly look flashed in Wen'er's eyes: "Then I'll give you an assistant. Now that I'm gone, you can continue with your play."

She left Kunning Palace and came to Wenhua Palace angrily. She waved her hand and drove all the eunuchs and maids out. Only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were left in the palace.

"Emperor, I have never thought of myself as a concubine, but I have to scold you this time." Wu'er rolled up her sleeves, "Your wife is almost dead, and you are still sulking here? Don't care about anything? I will follow you. You said, in two days, even the Great Luo Jinxian will not be able to save your wife."

"Ah?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.

"Ah what? She is already weak. She has endured for decades for your Zhu family, and her body and bones have deteriorated. Now she has no water." Wu'er snorted coldly, "Emperor, you really want the queen to die."

"We...we don't have it." Zhu Yuanzhang panicked.

He stood up and hurried to Kunning Palace. When he saw the sleeping Queen Ma, he panicked instantly: "Sister, wake up, wake up quickly, we order you to wake up."

Queen Ma woke up slowly and called "Chongba" softly. This familiar and affectionate name made Zhu Yuanzhang so excited that he burst into tears on the spot. "Sister, you're awake, that's great, that's great, you'll be fine."

He held Queen Ma's hand tightly, his tone full of concern: "Are you okay?"

Queen Ma nodded weakly, as if her life was on the verge of death. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it with panic in his heart.

"Sister, you have to take medicine, okay? Let me feed you." Zhu Yuanzhang gently picked up the medicine bowl. He carefully lifted Queen Ma up, let her nestle in his arms, fed her the medicine spoon by spoon, and comforted her in a soft voice: "Sister, lean on me, let's drink slowly."

Seeing Empress Ma struggling to drink the medicine, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became moist and tears fell down his cheeks: "Sister, you must be obedient and take good care of your body. You must not... you must not leave us..."

At this point, he finally couldn't help crying loudly.

Although Empress Ma was weak, she tried her best to smile: "What you said is stupid. People will die eventually. Why can't I die?"

"No, you can't die." Zhu Yuanzhang choked and said, his tears falling down like broken beads, "You must not die. If you die, no one will call us Chongba anymore. "

"Hey, don't worry." Queen Ma comforted him, "If I die, I will come to you again in the next life. I have been enough to be a queen in this life, but I have not been enough to be your wife."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang cried even more sadly. Empress Ma tried her best to force out a smile: "Chongba, don't be like this. We are all very old, and we still cry and make others laugh."

"I don't care!" Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears and hugged Queen Ma tightly, "Sister, we beg you, you must get better. We listen to you, we will punish ourselves, and we will not kill those people. Let Biaoer be in charge of the country, and we will accompany you. Wherever you want to go, we will accompany you."

"Okay." Queen Ma drank the medicine and fell asleep with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang put her down gently and hurried out.

……

The next day, in the morning, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict:

I have entrusted my virtue to the people, and I have served the people diligently for seven years. Unexpectedly, the prime minister and his assistants were lost, and they raped and abused power, causing the wise and foolish to fall into injustice. I thought about the difficulty of starting a business and the difficulty of reviving the people. I punished the traitors first, hoeed the roots and cut the vines and other party members. However, when I recorded the punishment, I could not There is nothing wrong with it, it is not the virtue of God who loves life.

So I stayed quietly and reflected on myself. The changes in the ancient and modern roads, and the fault lies with everyone. When I think about it, I feel panic and at a loss. I just tell my subjects that I have done something wrong. Yu Xi! In this way, only the heart of a loyal and benevolent person can detect my evil deeds; those who pretend to be public and private are not virtuous and gentleman.

The people have taken refuge during the war, and their fathers are in the South and their children are in the North. There are those who cannot gather together to support them, or there are those whose children died and their relatives were old and unable to support them, or those whose relatives died and their children are young and have no one to rely on. This is also my fault. It's really pitiful to say this. Now I have decreed that there will be a division in the world. Each one has his own name and says that I should live in peace and keep him, so that he will not lose his place.

All the ministers were dumbfounded, His Majesty actually issued the edict to sin against oneself.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the mood of the ministers and hurried to Kunning Palace after going down to court. He saw Queen Ma waking up, getting out of bed, sitting on a chair, and drinking porridge.

"Sister, are you...are you okay?" Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked.

"Perhaps His Majesty's edict of sin moved Heaven. I woke up early this morning and felt much better." Empress Ma smiled.

"Great, great." Zhu Yuanzhang was as happy as a child.

"Chongba, you promised not to kill Li Shanchang and the others." Queen Ma said.

"We won't kill him, let him go back to his old age." Zhu Yuanzhang came to Empress Ma's side, "After a while, I will accompany you to Wutai Mountain. There is a palace there. We will live in the mountain for a while, and the capital will be handed over to Biao'er. ”

"Are you relieved?" Queen Ma asked with a smile.

"Of course, don't worry." Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands, "Now that the second, third, and fourth sons are all on their own overseas, Biao'er, as the crown prince, should also supervise the country's governance. We, we have figured it out, we have to live a leisurely life. "

Queen Ma smiled, her plan succeeded.
