Chapter 366: The East Window Incident Happened Late with Remorse
Zhu Wenzheng agreed to cooperate with Zhang Shicheng to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang out of anger, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart. After all, he and Zhu Yuanzhang are uncles and nephews, Ma Xiuying treats him as his own, his mother-in-law Wang, son Tie Zhu are all in Yingtianfu, and a good brother is in Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, if he really betrays Zhu Yuanzhang, what will happen to these people? How will he face them in the future?
hesitated in his heart, so he did not immediately agree to join Zhang Shicheng and sacrifice Hongdu.
However, when he was still thinking about how to choose, Ma Xiuying already knew his plan.
Zhang Shicheng was very proud of winning over Zhu Wenzheng, and said to his henchmen more than once: "Even Zhu Yuanzhang's own nephew is going to betray him, which shows that he has betrayed his relatives and left, and he is declining." ”
He said this to cheer everyone up, so that the generals would not be afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect that his trusted staff member Xu Wu was actually Zhu Men sent by Ma Xiuying, to be precise, it should now be called Zhu Yuanzhang's fine work.
After Xu Wu learned from Zhang Shicheng that Zhu Wenzheng was planning to conspire with Zhang Shicheng to rebel against Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, he immediately passed the news to Ying Tianfu. In the end, he is an old man who has followed Ma Xiuying for many years, and he knows the status of Zhu Wen in Ma Xiuying's heart, so the news that should have been reported to Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible reached Ma Xiuying's ears first.
Ma Xiuying was angry, she didn't expect Zhu Wenzheng's personality to be so extreme, and she was so stupid that she went to the enemy to take revenge on Zhu Yuanzhang. She also secretly regretted handing over all the shadow guard organizations to Zhu Yuanzhang, so that there was no one around Zhu Wenzheng to supervise and protect her, otherwise she would have stopped Zhu Wenzheng from continuing to make mistakes as early as the first time Zhu Wenzheng made a mistake.
This young and ignorant child, don't you know that doing so is tantamount to cutting yourself off? Ma Xiuying was so anxious that she couldn't watch Zhu Wenzheng make mistakes again and again, so she decided to go to Hongdu to persuade Zhu Wenzheng in person.
However, Ma Xiuying's private exit several times in a row has made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry, he specially greeted the guards, and the princess was not allowed to leave the palace without permission, so Ma Xiuying must inform Zhu Yuanzhang first if she wants to leave the palace.
She found a high-sounding reason, "I heard that Xie Cuiying had a miscarriage because of her father's affairs, the Xie family is now too busy to take care of themselves, and the sister-in-law is not in good health and is inconvenient to move around, I plan to take the place of the sister-in-law to see these two children, and by the way, persuade Wen Zheng to come back and admit his mistake and be punished." ”
There was still a war outside, and Zhu Yuanzhang naturally disagreed with her risking to go to Hongdu in order to visit Zhu Wenzheng, "If he makes a mistake, he should come back obediently and be punished, do you want you and me to go to ask three times and ask four times? If I give another order, I don't believe him and dare not obey it." ”
"No, I'm going to go myself. Ma Xiuying hurriedly stopped, how dare she let Zhu Yuanzhang give another order, I was afraid that as soon as this decree came out, Zhu Wenzheng would take refuge in Zhang Shicheng without hesitation.
Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious, "Do you have something to hide from me?"
"You've thought too much. I took Wen Zheng as my own biological child, and I was distressed and angry when he made a mistake, afraid that he would not be able to think about it for a while, so I wanted to see this child in person. ”
"He's not a kid anymore, he doesn't need your ear to ask for a face. ”
"No matter how old he grows, he will always be my child, please understand a mother's worries about her child. If you don't agree, I'll try my best to get out, you have to beat or scold casually, but after the punishment, you have to let me go to Hongdu. This time, Ma Xiuying was determined to see Zhu Wenzheng in person, even if Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded or dissuaded her angrily, she couldn't change her determination.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang finally agreed to Ma Xiuying to go to Hongdu, not only let Ma Xiuying go, but he also had to go with him, he wanted to see with his own eyes how far Zhu Wenzheng had gotten to the extent of his personal exploits.
The matter was imminent, Ma Xiuying was afraid that if she was one step late, Zhu Wenzheng would take refuge in Zhang Shicheng, causing irreparable consequences, so she immediately urged Zhu Yuanzhang to set off, and the two rushed to Hongdu by boat.
However, on the ship, Zhu Yuanzhang received a secret report and a report, both about "Zhu Wenzheng was ashamed and plotted to betray Zhang Shicheng".
The secret report was handed over by the shadow guard, and they told Ma Xiuying that Zhu Yuanzhang had committed a big taboo, but they couldn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to pretend not to know when he arrived in Hongdu, and then even a fool would know that they were hiding the truth.
Cheng Shu was played by Li Yingbing, and he found out that Zhu Wenzheng had different intentions and frequently had close contacts with Zhang Shicheng's people, so he hurriedly told Zhu Yuanzhang.
The secret report and Cheng Shu in his hand were pinched and deformed by Zhu Yuanzhang, he glared at Ma Xiuying angrily, and asked coldly: "This is why you insist on coming to Hongdu?"
Ma Xiuying lowered her head, neither admitting nor denying it.
Zhu Yuanzhang yelled angrily, "He's going to betray me, you still help him speak, and you help him hide it, do you have to wait for him to put the sword on my neck before you admit that he is hopeless?"
"Do you think he's hopeless? If you think he's going to betray you, you should turn the ship around now, instead of going to Hongdu to throw yourself into the net. Ma Xiuying closed her eyes impatiently, disgusted to see Zhu Yuanzhang's coy posture.
Zhu Wenzheng has lived with them for many years, and everyone knows what kind of temperament he has, no matter how bad this child is, he still takes care of his family in his heart, if it weren't for this, Ma Xiuying would not be desperate to save him.
In the same way, if other Hongdu guards planned to rebel, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely take the opportunity to retreat to Tianfu and send a large army to conquer it, instead of continuing to move forward as he is now. Because he also knew in his heart that Zhu Wenzheng would not rebel easily, he was not afraid of the current situation in Hongdu.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold his face, and poured all his anger on Zhu Wenzheng, "This son of evil! When you get to Hongdu, I will severely punish him, and you are not allowed to stop him." ”
Ma Xiuying didn't say anything, Zhu Wenzheng made a mistake and should be punished, I only hope that Zhu Yuanzhang will not be punished too heavily and leave a way for this child to live.
Zhu Wenzheng didn't know that the matter of his preparation for rebellion had already happened, and when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife suddenly came to Hongdu, they hurriedly rushed out to greet him.
As soon as he boarded the boat, a cup flew in front of him, and hot tea splashed everywhere, only to hear Zhu Yuanzhang shout sharply and ask: "What do you kid want to do? What are you going to do? I am in front of you now, do you want to arrest me and go to Zhang Shicheng?"
Oh my God! Uncle actually knew his plan! Zhu Wenzheng chuckled in his heart, and he didn't care about wiping the tea.
Ma Xiuying grabbed his hand and lamented: "Child, why do you want to be like this? Have you ever thought about the feelings of me, your uncle, and your mother? What will you do after you let Tiezhu go?"
Zhu Wenzheng thought about Ma Xiuying's kindness to himself, and thought of the white-haired old lady and her young son, so she couldn't help but burst into tears, turned over and knelt down, "My nephew is confused for a while, and he shouldn't be embarrassed with Zhang Shicheng......"
Zhu Yuanzhang changed color when he heard this, and Zhu Wenzheng's personal admission was like a sharp sword piercing his heart, making him miserable. What a ridiculous irony that his own nephew, who was raised as a son since he was a child, really had a rebellious heart!
