Chapter 62: The Ministers (2)
Ma Cheng followed You Er into the tent, and saw that You Er, who was originally wearing clothes with patches, was very different, and he was all good Shu brocade, probably a gift from someone these days.
Entering the tent and the two sat down, Yu Er asked, "What is the matter with my brother coming to my brother today?" ”
"Hehe, the younger brother wants to ask the second brother, what hobbies does Your Majesty have?"
You Er frowned when he heard Ma Cheng finish speaking, it is not good to casually inquire about the emperor's preferences, plus the health of the emperor in feudal society is a big secret related to the country, where it can be casually revealed to an outsider.
"Brother, is there anything wrong with you? It's not that my brother didn't remind you, there is no trivial matter around the emperor, and it is a big crime for you to inquire casually and let someone with a heart know! ”
Listening to You Er take five to do six, Ma Cheng scolded in his heart that he really looked down on people, and he called himself a slave a few days ago, but now he is shaking after a few days.
But Ma Cheng didn't dare to offend You Er, and now You Er was the eunuch in charge of Shang Baojian beside Zhu Yousong, managing the emperor's seal, which was the emperor's absolute confidant. There was no way Ma Cheng had to tell the truth: "Second brother, it's like this, the younger brother has seen that there is no woman around His Majesty in the past few days, so I want to ask what woman the emperor likes!" ”
You Er breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ma Cheng say this, it turned out that this was the case, and it was not a big problem to find a woman for the emperor.
"So that's the case, Your Majesty had a step-concubine when he was in Henan, but he was in chaos back then, and now I don't know if he is still alive, but when His Majesty was in the palace, he liked widows very much, and it was best to have given birth to children! But back then, His Majesty was only the son of the world, so he didn't dare to blatantly look for it, so he could only secretly look for the right person! ”
Ma Cheng scolded in his heart when he heard You Er say this: It turns out that Zhu Yousong is also a personal * wife control, it seems that he suffered when he was a child and had a love * mother complex! Ma Cheng scolded Zhu Yousong for forgetting that he was almost the same as himself, and he was completely the same as Zhu Yousong.
After listening to You Er's words, Ma Cheng lowered his head and thought bitterly, there are many little widows, but where to find them in such a hurry? Appearance, figure, and family background are indispensable, which is difficult to find. Ma Cheng thought about it, his sister-in-law Zhang is eligible, her family background is enough, and she has given birth to children, but her eldest brother Ma Luan is still there! It's too late to drug Ma Luan to death now.
Thinking of his sister-in-law Zhang, Ma Cheng suddenly thought that there was a little widow at home, that is, his own sister Ma Hongning.
Ma Hongning is Ma Shiying's daughter-in-law, six years older than Ma Cheng, and is exactly twenty-four years old this year. Ma Hongning's life was very bad, he was originally married at the age of fifteen, and married to Shanxi at the age of sixteen. But thinking that her husband died of illness two years ago, and her son born to Ma Hongning also died of illness, and now Ma Hongning became a mourning star in her in-law's family.
At that time, Ma Shiying was dismissed from office at home because the party was attached to the eunuch party, and the family had no backbone, and Ma Hongning was also swept out of the house by his in-laws and returned to his parents' house to live.
Ma Hongning is tall and very beautiful, Ma Cheng was tempted when he saw it for the first time, but it was his own sister, and Ma Cheng really couldn't do it. However, Ma Cheng is worried that his sister always lives at home, and if he can't control it, it will be over if he makes any scandals. Now it happens that Zhu Yousong has died of his wife, a widower and a widow, and he just gave his sister to Zhu Yousong.
Thinking of this, Ma Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is wrapped up in the little brother!" But Your Majesty needs the help of the second brother! ”
You Er thought that Ma Cheng wanted to find a little widow to make Zhu Yousong happy, but he didn't expect Ma Cheng to be shameless enough to sacrifice his sister, You Er smiled and said: "There are many tents in the army, give me a letter after my brother is done, and I will arrange it for Your Majesty!" ”
Ma Cheng nodded and went out, came back after a while, and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, what aphrodisiacs do you have here?" The younger brother was afraid that the woman would not obey, so he drugged her first! ”
You Er smiled to show his understanding, turned around and took out a small bottle from the small box, as an internal servant, there is such a thing: "Brother, this is a good thing, it takes ten toads to refine such a small bottle, this thing goes down to the water, no matter what loyal martyrs can't resist, you have to be careful to use it!" ”
Ma Cheng took it and put it in his arms, got out of the tent and rode back to his home.
At this time, Mafu was in a mess, Ma Shiying was definitely going to Nanjing to be an official, and naturally his family had to take everything with him.
Ma Cheng entered the house, grabbed a maid ring and asked, "Where is my sister now?" ”
The girl saw that it was Ma Cheng, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Second master, Miss is cleaning up things in the backyard!" Ma Cheng heard the joy and hurried to Ma Hongning's residence in the backyard.
Ma Hongning is Ma Shiying's daughter-in-law, and her status is very high, but Ma Hongning respects her identity, after all, she is a widow at home, so she lives very secluded, and there are not too many servants in the courtyard, only two maids by her side.
Ma Hongning was already disheartened after the death of her husband and son, and after Ma Shiying became an official, she wanted to find a few officials with dead wives to continue her, but Ma Hongyu resigned one by one, she was ready not to marry in this life, and she wanted to keep a festival for her late husband.
The Ming Dynasty highly respected the feudal system of keeping festivals, as long as it was enough for 30 years, the imperial court would also set up a chastity archway for those who kept festivals, and Ma Shiying heard that her daughter wanted to do this, so she did not insist on her remarrying.
Ma Cheng came to Ma Hongning's courtyard and saw his sister directing Yahuan to load the car. Now Ma Hongning's dead ghost husband has not died for three years, and Ma Hongning is still in the filial piety period, so he is wearing a plain white, a white petticoat and a white armor, revealing a fresh and elegant taste.
Seeing that Ma Hongning was so beautiful, Ma Cheng was very hesitant in his heart, but he couldn't quickly gain power if he didn't give it to Zhu Yousong, thinking of this, Ma Cheng scolded in his heart: Zhu Yousong, you fat pig, you are cheap today!
Ma Hongning had already seen Ma Cheng at this time, their sister and brother had a very good relationship, and when they saw their younger brother coming, Ma Hongning smiled and said, "Second brother, why do you have time to come to see my sister today?" ”
In order to deceive Ma Hongning's trust, Ma Cheng said with a sad face: "Sister, something is wrong!" Dad fell off his horse during the sacrifice of the tomb, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead! ”
Ma Hongning is a filial daughter, and when she heard Ma Cheng say this, she hurriedly asked, "What?" How's Daddy doing now? Why did you run to me here? Don't go and inform your eldest brother and mother yet! ”
Ma Cheng opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Sister, the eldest brother has already rushed there, and the younger brother is here to pick up his sister, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see my father's last face if I go late!" ”
Ma Hongning heard that his father was going to die, and he didn't care about the rules of not going out of the gate, so he pulled Ma Cheng and shouted: "Hurry! Prepare the car! ”
"Sister, the sedan chair has been prepared, just at the side door, and my brother will lead you!" Ma Cheng had already prepared the sedan chair when he came back, just waiting for Ma Hongning to take the bait.
Ma Hongning is worried about his father now, so he doesn't care about anything, takes a scarf to cover his face, and follows Ma Cheng out of the door and gets into a sedan chair and goes to the imperial city.
Ma Cheng estimated the distance, and handed the water bladder mixed with aphrodisiacs to Ma Hongning halfway: "Sister, you are thirsty, drink some water first!" ”
Ma Hongning thought that his younger brother, who was inferior to beasts, framed him, and was really thirsty in a hurry, so he took the water bladder and drank a few sips.
Ma Cheng was overjoyed to see that everything was within his plan, and if he was okay on his side, it would be up to You Er's side.
Ma Cheng entered the imperial city with a small sedan chair, came to a tent agreed with You Er, and saw You Er standing at the door waiting.
You Er made a gesture when he saw Ma Cheng coming, indicating that Zhu Yousong was already inside.
Ma Cheng nodded in understanding, and then came to the sedan chair and whispered: "Sister, it's already here, come down!" ”
This is an aphrodisiac that has already worked, Ma Hongning felt hot and dizzy, but she didn't think about it anywhere else, thinking that she was worried about her father's symptoms.
Ma Hongning heard the younger brother outside the sedan chair talk about the place, and quickly got down from the sedan chair and looked around. This place is in the imperial city, there are no buildings around, and Ma Hongning didn't see his family, so he asked very suspiciously: "Second brother, where is the eldest brother?" What about the third brother? ”
"Sister, they are all in the tent, just waiting for you! Get on board! ”
Ma Hongning didn't have much doubt when he heard his younger brother say this, and walked into the tent with a three-inch golden lotus.
Ma Cheng didn't follow in, and when he stood at the door, he heard Ma Hongning exclaim, "Who are you?" What are you doing? Where's my daddy? ”
Zhu Yousong inside smiled and said, "Little beauty, don't you know what to do?" Come and have fun with this king! ”
At this time, Ma Hongning knew everything, and what father was injured and wanted to see him, it was all the ghost of the damn brother, Ma Hongning shouted sadly: "Let go!" What about Ma Cheng? Ma Cheng, you are not human! ”
Ma Cheng, who was eavesdropping at the door, felt very uncomfortable, such a big beauty made Zhu Yousong so bad, but there was no way. Thinking of this, Ma Cheng sighed, sister, don't complain about your brother, this is all for the sake of the world!
Ma Hongning's scolding could still be heard in the tent at first, but after a while, there was no sound. After less than half an hour, Zhu Yousong walked out of the tent with a big belly, Zhu Yousong came to Ma Cheng's side with a grin, patted Ma Cheng's shoulder and smiled: "Zhonghe, you did a good job!" This woman was found from there, and the king was very satisfied! ”
Ma Cheng heard Zhu Yousong say this, and quickly knelt down and said: "It's good that the saint is satisfied, this woman is the eldest sister of the last general, called Ma Hongning!" ”
Zhu Yousong originally thought that the woman was just Ma Cheng's random search, but he didn't expect that it was Ma Cheng's sister, which was not easy to do.
Zhu Yousong used to find a widow to have fun and have fun, and next time he was changing to a fresh one, but he didn't expect that this time it was Ma Cheng's sister and Ma Shiying's daughter-in-law.
You Er on the side didn't expect Ma Cheng to be such a beast, and in order to climb up, he actually drugged his sister and sent him.
Although Zhu Yousong is a little stupid, he is not confused, it is not easy to be Ma Shiying's daughter now, and now he has to rely on Ma Shiying. Zhu Yousong thought for a while and said: "Since you are Ma Aiqing's concubine, then stay, You Er, you can arrange it, and seal the Ma family as the king's side concubine!" ”
Although Zhu Yousong was in charge of the country at this time, he was not called the emperor, so his wife could only be called a princess.
