Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

To paraphrase a sentence from later generations: I, Su Mu, have shed blood for His Majesty and made meritorious service for the Crown Prince.

Next, the eunuchs who recommended the eunuch to enter the palace, those who received him, those who had a physical examination, and even the eunuch who suggested that the little eunuch be cleansed, were all brought up one by one, and everyone ate fifty sticks.

This time, two more elderly people with poor health were beaten to death there.

This is already a bloody massacre, with intimidation outside.

Su Mu was so shocked that he almost couldn't help shouting: "I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!"

Turn around and run out of the palace desperately.

However, this is the inner palace, surrounded by eunuchs, and Su Mu doesn't know any of them, even if he wants to run, there is nowhere to escape.

He could only grit his teeth and stand there waiting.

After an afternoon of tossing, the sky gradually darkened.

The dormitory was lit and waited, it was very bright.

At this time, a soft female voice sounded: "Su Mu is here?"

The voice of Shang Baojian's Eunuch Shi then came: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, Baoding Juzi Su Mu has been waiting outside for two hours. Empress Dowager, do you want him to come and answer now?"

"Okay, let him come in, the sin he committed himself must be dealt with." Speaking of this, the female voice was full of suppressed anger and a hint of crying.

No need to ask, this woman must be the birth mother of Emperor Zhengde, Empress Dowager Zhang.

Entering the main hall, it is different from the bloody storm outside, but it looks peaceful and peaceful inside.

There are not many furnishings in the room, and a large screen with veils is placed in front of it, and a dozen candles as thick as a child's arm illuminate the inside as bright as day.Through the screen, a slender figure sat.

In front of the screen, there is a small table and a futon, and there are a few books on the small table.

For Hongzhi's queen, the current empress dowager Zhang Shisumu is a little curious.This person is not well-known in history. After the death of Emperor Zhengde, Jiajing succeeded to the throne.

But Emperor Jiajing was mean and ungrateful, and he ignored Empress Zhang and was very indifferent.Later, he killed Queen Zhang's younger brother with an excuse, causing Queen Zhang to die of grief and indignation.

Generally speaking, in the real history, this person is a very ordinary woman, and she has no sense of presence in the palace.

But with Su Mu, a big butterfly who suddenly broke into this time and space, history has undergone drastic changes.Empress Zhang became the Empress Dowager one year in advance, and listened to the government behind the curtain, maintained the government, and deeply intervened in the political life of the Ming Dynasty.

It is conceivable that in the future, Emperor Zhengde will inevitably be greatly restrained, and he will not insist on going to the south of the Yangtze River to quell the chaos of King Ning, and finally die in the south.But the current King Ning has aroused the great vigilance of the court, and it is estimated that there is no possibility of rebellion.

With these two factors, Emperor Zhengde must not die young.

It is precisely because there are too few reference materials at hand, and I don't know what the Queen Mother called me here today.Su Mu was startled and suspicious now, his whole face was full of skin: "Chen Su Mu, kowtow to the benevolent empress dowager."

He disliked the rule of kneeling when meeting people in the Ming Dynasty. Before seeing Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao, he just bowed his hands slightly.

As a modern person, it is really uncomfortable for people to kneel down at every turn.

He simply took a step forward and knelt directly on the futon, calmly and casually.

Eunuch Shi's expression changed: "Bold Su Mu, you are still so rude after seeing the Empress Dowager, kneel aside!"

Su Mu was scolded by eunuch Shi, and his heart was furious. At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhang behind the screen suddenly sneered: "Su Mu, you know how to find a place, anyway, just kneel there, read the books on the table carefully, and then answer."

The sound was not loud, but it was full of majesty.

"Reading..." Su Mu's heart moved, and he remembered what Empress Dowager Zhang said earlier, "The sins I made must be solved", so he picked up several books and read them, there were three in total.

These three books are very beautifully bound, all covered with blue cloth, with "Dream of Red Mansions" written in big characters on them, the fonts are beautiful and straight, it seems that they must be the royal collection printed by Neishutang.

Su Mu didn't make any money from this set of books. Since Emperor Hongzhi passed away, he hasn't written a single word.Up to now, he doesn't remember exactly where he wrote it.

But when he saw this book, Su Mu's heart trembled slightly.

To be honest, there are too many contents about food, drink and men in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions". If you meet a real person or Mr. Morality, you will inevitably be suspected of adultery and robbery.

It's also the same, last time Xu Can used the contents of the book to sue himself in front of Emperor Hongzhi, which made Su Mu almost unlucky.

This time Queen Mother Zhang asked herself to come must be for the same reason?

Or maybe someone in the palace caused some trouble after reading this book, so that the Empress Dowager Zhang was so angry that she killed three eunuchs in one go, and even recruited me, Su Mu, into the palace to ask questions?

If it was because of this, Su Mu would have nothing to worry about, after all, the copyright of this book was approved by the late emperor and the royal family paid for it.After Hongzhi died, he did not write a word.

The first emperor was obsessed with this book, and he was full of praise.Even if there is something forbidden in it, it is difficult for future generations to dare to overturn the conclusion of Emperor Xiaozong Hongzhi.

Thinking of this, Su Mu immediately calmed down.

However, he was also annoyed: Why is it "Dream of Red Mansions" again? I regret that I shouldn't have written this book in the first place, so that it caused endless troubles!

I simply picked up the third volume and turned to the end. After a look, I realized that I was writing No.60 six chapters.It was also the night that Emperor Hongzhi died, and the third sister You, who was still worried, committed suicide.

Because this chapter was written two months ago, Su Mu can't remember it clearly.Immediately read it carefully, after reading it, Su Mu couldn't help shouting: "Okay, it's well written!"

Not to brag, in fact, Su Mu couldn't remember exactly what Cao Xueqin's version of "Dream of Red Mansions" looked like.Such a large tome, filled with millions of words, although Su Mu's memory is superb, but he is not a humanoid computer, he only remembers the general plot, but does not know the specific words and sentences.

Therefore, when writing this book, it is not so much plagiarism as it is a second creation on the basis of the original work.

Looking at it today, the story is wonderful and the writing is beautiful and timeless. Su Mu praised in his heart: I never thought that my articles and novels have been written so well. He is no longer among the top figures in the world.

With Su Mu's praise, everyone in the hall was shocked.

For Su Ziqiao's generation of poets, his articles and novels are naturally top-notch.It is shameless for others to praise and self-praise.Su Mu praised himself, but he was unscrupulously arrogant, and it was in front of the benevolent empress dowager, did he want to die?

Eunuch Shi shouted again: "Arrogant, rebellious, Queen Mother, please take this person down, kill him and feed him to the dogs!"
