I open a history tutorial class in Daming

Chapter 31 Queen Ma's Conspiracy Theory

Before Ying Zheng could figure out what was going on, the sound of the broadcast echoed in the classroom.

"The break is over, please leave the classroom."

Within a breath, everyone felt themselves dizzy again. Their eyes blurred and they returned to the place where they had originally entered the space.

Hongwu ten years.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao left the system space and returned to Kunning Palace. As soon as they landed, they saw Queen Ma staring at them without blinking.

Queen Ma stared at the father and son for a long time without saying anything.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help it anymore and asked tentatively:

"Girl, what are you thinking about?"

Queen Ma came back to her senses and murmured:
"You are real. You disappeared out of thin air and reappeared out of thin air..."

"That's true."

In the previous few times, she only saw the scene when they entered, but missed the scene when they came out. This time, Empress Ma even resisted the urge to doze off, clutching her thighs tightly to prevent herself from falling asleep, and finally saw it clearly.

Neither her husband nor her son tried to comfort her. They really had encountered something extremely strange.

Does this also mean that it is true that my fourth son will rebel?

Queen Ma might have difficulty breathing just thinking about this.

When she heard Zhu Yuanzhang and others talking about this matter before, she remembered Biao'er saying, "If I were the emperor, my fourth brother would not be like this." This seemed to indicate that her husband did not pass the throne to Biao'er in the end.

Finally she couldn't sit still anymore.

"Zhongba, tell me clearly what the meaning of Biao'er not being able to ascend the throne and Di'er's rebellion is!"

Empress Ma stood up suddenly, grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve and asked.

By the way, he also pinched the soft flesh on the inside of his arm.

Zhu Yuanzhang tried to pull his wife's hand away with a grimace, but he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of hurting her. In the end, he could only accept his fate and looked at Zhu Biao with helplessness on his face.

Zhu Biao did not dare to look back for a moment, he just looked left and right, but did not look at his parents.

Neither the father nor the son dared to say anything.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't accept it when he first heard that Zhu Biao would die young. How could Empress Ma, who was weak, withstand such a blow?

I’m afraid he will faint soon, and the Imperial Hospital will not be able to save him in time!
If we were to ask who in the world knew them best, it would be Queen Ma.

When she looked at the father and son, she could tell what kind of shit they were going to poop as soon as they raised their buttocks, and what kind of fart they were going to fart as soon as they opened their mouths. They were all from poor backgrounds, so why not just say it directly?
"Don't treat me like one of those weak women in your harem. If I couldn't stand anything, then when you went out to fight, there was often no news for a year or two. I would have been so anxious that I would have died. How could I have waited until you became the queen?"

Queen Ma frowned and said coldly:
"Biao'er, if he doesn't say anything, then you should say it. Hurry up!"

Zhu Biao shuddered all over.

The muscles reacted.

Whether before or after his father became emperor, whether he was the crown prince of Wu or the crown prince of Ming, Zhu Biao's education from childhood to adulthood was almost entirely the responsibility of his mother. His father was indeed very good to him, and did his best to give him everything he wanted, but his father used to be away at war, and later he was always working at his desk reviewing memorials until late at night, so he didn't have much time to ask about Zhu Biao's studies, let alone other miscellaneous matters.

Empress Ma was also a very competent mother. For the sake of her child's studies, she even asked female officials in the deep palace to teach her to read so that she could test her son's homework. It can be said that Empress Ma was also a great contributor to Zhu Biao's title of "the most stable crown prince in history". Without her, the child would have grown up crooked.

As for why Zhu Biao was afraid... well, any child would be afraid if their mother supervised their homework every day.

"Mom, I'll tell you!"

Zhu Biao stood at attention on the spot and was about to speak, but Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him fiercely.

He said helplessly:

"Dad, what Mom said is true. She's just not as healthy as before, but she can still help you take care of the logistics and housework during the war. If you don't trust her, who else can you trust? What if she can give you some new ideas?"

As he spoke, Zhu Biao told Empress Ma the whole story.

Empress Ma had actually been prepared for this. She knew Zhu Yuanzhang well, and if there was no great accident, it would be unlikely that the throne would be passed on to anyone else.

The fact that Zhu Biao died young conforms to the logic of cause and effect and has no flaws.

She took a deep breath and looked at her husband and son:
"You mean to say that the person who dragged you into that mysterious place was none other than Song Shen, the eldest grandson of the Song family who fell and went blind a few days ago?"

"Did he ever tell us when and why Biaoer fell ill?"

Zhu Biao nodded in affirmation of his mother's first question, then thought for a moment and said:
"He didn't say the exact time, but he said my father died in the 31st year of Hongwu. I died six years earlier, so it was the 25th year of Hongwu."

"The reason was not mentioned, and we didn't find a suitable opportunity to ask him, because he seemed to think that we were not real people. He didn't know that my father and I were the emperor and prince of the same dynasty as him. Many things were not easy to talk about directly."

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that his wife's expression was not right.

He frowned and asked:
"Girl, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? If you are not feeling well, let's not..."

Queen Ma interrupted her husband's question and said coldly:
"I think you have been the emperor for too long and have forgotten what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace!"

"Zhongba, although Biao'er is not a brave warrior, he is kind-hearted and healthy. He has never been sick since he was a child."

"For the past ten years, the Imperial Hospital has been checking all of our pulses at regular times and locations. It will certainly be the same fifteen years from now. If there is something wrong with him, the Imperial Hospital will definitely be able to find it. As for common diseases, the Imperial Hospital has gathered the best doctors in the world. Even if they can't be cured, they should be able to keep him alive."

"In the 25th year of Hongwu, how old was Biao'er? He was over 30! A young and vigorous crown prince died young. According to what you said about Song Shen's character, if there were detailed records, he should have mentioned it, but he didn't."

"You knew about this on the first day, and it's been three days now, and you don't think there's anything wrong?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was distracted for a moment, and then he immediately understood what his wife meant.

He said anxiously:

"Sister, are you saying that there might be some hidden reason behind Biao'er's death fifteen years later?"

Queen Ma gave him a fierce look:
"Isn't that nonsense!"

"We have made three rules. You are responsible for the affairs of the previous dynasty, and I will handle the affairs of the harem. I can confirm that no one in the harem dares to have any ill intentions towards Biao'er, and his brothers are unlikely to have any ill intentions either. The problem must be in the previous dynasty."

"Zhongba, as a father, it's time for you to think carefully about what's going on!"
