Li Chengen heard Zhu Hongsan say this, and hurriedly bowed down to accept the order, and Zhu Hongsan asked again: "How did those who followed Zhu Jiang to rebel deal with it?" ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the emperor's holy decree, Ma Rufeng and Jiang Pengju's family have been captured, Jin Shenghuan, the king of Nanchang County, committed suicide in fear of crime, Jin Daoming, the prince of the family, surrendered, and everyone in the family has been captured, waiting for His Majesty's holy decree!"

Zhu Hongsan frowned: "What are you waiting for?" Regardless of the men, women, old and weak, they were all killed, Ma Rufeng, Jiang Pengju, and Jin Daoming showed their heads to the public! ”

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he remembered his good friend Ma Ruyun: "The princess of Nanchang County was sent to the palace, and I will personally interrogate it tonight!" ”

Li Chengen knew the relationship between the emperor and Ma Ruyun, it seemed that the emperor was still reluctant to kill the old friend, Li Chengen was just about to retire, and then knew that Zhu Hongsan said again: "You go to the cabinet to pass the decree, the prince is immoral, I will announce to the world in 20 days that the prince will be abolished!" ”

Abolishing the crown prince is not the same as abolishing a prince, the prince is the emperor's own business, what do you want to do, the cabinet will not interfere, but the prince is the foundation of the country, and the abolition of the prince is a big deal.

Although Li Chengen knew that the crown prince would be deposed, he still had a wit when he heard the emperor say this, and hurriedly bowed down to prepare.

Of course, Zhu Hongsan was very sad when he was in Tongzhou yesterday, one of these sons is not as good as one, but Zhu Hongsan is not only a father, but also an emperor, and after being sad, he naturally has to think about the successor of the empire.

It is a foregone conclusion that the crown prince will be deposed, but among the remaining sons, Zhu Jiang, the second son, went to Fengyang to guard the emperor's mausoleum, and the third Zhu Huai is a waste at all. Of course, even if the third child is not a waste, Zhu Hongsan cannot make Zhu Huai the crown prince, if Zhu Hongsan hangs Zhu Huai as the emperor one day, then it is really hard to say how many of Zhu Hongsan's sons can survive. In addition to these three, several other princes are now Zhu Hongsan's inspection candidates, and even the third-generation Zhu Shengduo and Zhu Shengyu are also within the scope of Zhu Hongsan's inspection.

Zhu Hongsan abolished Zhu Shengduo and Zhu Shengyu as concubines It is precisely this kind of plan that only flowers can be cultivated in the greenhouse, but the emperor cannot be cultivated, so these two emperors and grandsons are put into the people, whether they are dragons or insects depends on your personal development.

Just when Zhu Hongsan was thinking about things, the little eunuch outside the door reported that Zhu Hongyi, the king of Wuchang County, was here.

Zhu Hongyi has not shown up for many years because of Zhu Hongsan's suppression, even at the New Year's greeting party every year, Zhu Hongyi does not participate on the grounds of physical illness, but although Zhu Hongyi does not have dealings with the prince Zhu Hai, Zhu Hongyi is indeed a real princeling.

The prince's biggest backer among civil officials is Ma Mingyuan, and the biggest backer among military generals is Zhu Hongyi, but Zhu Hongyi is much more low-key than Ma Mingyuan. However, Zhu Hongsan knew that Zhu Hongyi was a hardcore princeling, and he must have come to see him today for the prince.

Zhu Hongsan originally didn't want to see him, but Zhu Hongyi's credit was too great, plus Zhu Hongyi was his cousin, and now he was the only dear relative living in the world, thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "Let him come in!" ”

With the summons of the little eunuch, Zhu Hongyi, the king of Wuchang County, bowed down and walked into the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Hongsan hasn't seen Zhu Hongyi for four or five years, Zhu Hongyi has changed a lot in recent years, years of conquest have already hollowed out Zhu Hongyi's majestic and upright body, Zhu Hongyi is no longer the guard who stood in front of Zhu Hongsan to block the knife for him, but an old man with gray hair and a gray beard.

Zhu Hongyi walked into the main hall and knelt down on his knees and said, "Minister Zhu Hongyi, long live my emperor!" ”

Seeing Zhu Hongyi's slumped body, Zhu Hongsan was also a little unbearable in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Big brother is here, hurry!" You minions still don't have a seat for my big brother? ”

A little eunuch hurriedly moved up an embroidery pier, and then helped Zhu Hongyi to sit down.

After seeing Zhu Hongyi sit down, Zhu Hongsan asked, "How has the eldest brother been in health in recent years?" ”

Zhu Hongyi smiled and said: "Hehe, it's nothing, except for a few old injuries that rained on a cloudy day, the minister can also eat three catties of braised pork!" ”

Zhu Hongyi said that braised pork reminded Zhu Hongsan of the situation back then, and he and he looked forward to his mother making braised pork during the Spring Festival every year, and most of them were often eaten by Zhu Hongyi.

"Haha, eldest brother still likes braised pork so much!"

"Yes, when the minister and His Majesty were in the palace, the queen mother would make a pot every time she came to the festival, and the ministers ate a lot at that time!"

When Zhu Hongsan heard Zhu Hongyi talk about the events of the year, he couldn't help but think of his mother who died early, and he felt a little sad in his heart. Although Zhu Hongsan has been a human being in two lives, Zhao Chunhua, the mother of this life, cares about Zhu Hongsan very much, and in Zhu Hongsan's heart, Zhao Chunhua has already become his real mother.

Zhu Hongyi looked at the emperor's expression, and then said: "Back then, the Queen Mother wanted to see Your Majesty get married and have children, but it's a pity that the Queen Mother didn't see Your Majesty give birth to children!" Although Zhu Hai has made a big mistake now, but after all, he is still young, he must listen to the pampering of the people around him, please Your Majesty look at the face of the Queen Mother, and let Zhu Hai fall lightly! ”

Zhu Hongsan was originally immersed in the memories of his youth, but when he heard Zhu Hongyi intercede for the prince, his expression immediately turned cloudy, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhu Hai's matter is already final, and Zhu Hai is still young?" At such an age, he can still be bewitched by others, and he is not qualified to be this prince! ”

"But Your Majesty, Your Majesty swore by the queen's side that he would make Zhu Hai a peaceful prince, but now...

Zhu Hongsan saw that Zhu Hongyi was becoming more and more presumptuous, and now he actually mentioned Ma Xiaofang, Zhu Hongsan said angrily: "Big brother, don't say more!" If the prince is at fault, he has to bear it, how can he govern the country if he doesn't deal with him? ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at Zhu Hongyi and then said: "The eldest brother is old and frail, and the climate in the capital is not suitable for the eldest brother to live in, so the eldest brother should go back to Wuchang to retire!" ”

Zhu Hongsan's words were polite, but in Zhu Hongyi's ears, it was like five thunderbolts. What could be more uncomfortable for a vassal king than being a vassal king? Returning to Wuchang is not in the capital, the Ming Dynasty was very strict with the management of the vassal king, and the magistrate had to approve it when he went out of the city, Zhu Hongyi didn't expect that he said a few good words for the prince but in exchange for the vassal.

Hearing the emperor say this, Zhu Hongyi was like being more than ten years old, stood up tremblingly, bowed down and said, "Minister... Obey the order! ”

The emperor had an order to let him go back to Wuchang, Zhu Hongyi naturally did not dare to delay, stood up and walked out of the Qianqing Palace, just arrived at the Qianqing Gate, a brocade-clothed guard Qianhu who guarded the door stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Lord, I'm sorry, please hand over the iron card to enter the palace!" ”

Zhu Hongyi is one of the few ministers who have an iron card to enter the palace, which can be regarded as a benefit for Zhu Hongsan to his heroes, and with this iron card, he can enter the palace to see the emperor anytime and anywhere.

Zhu Hongyi heard what the brocade-clothed guard Qianhu said, tremblingly handed over the iron plate on his waist, and then walked out of the palace with his rickety body. The next day, Zhu Hongyi left Beijing with his family of more than 20 and went south, and three years later Zhu Hongyi died of illness in the palace of Wuchang County, Hubei, and the emperor gave him the nickname Zhongwu.

Seeing Zhu Hongyi leaving, Zhu Hongsan sighed and didn't speak for a long time. Li Chengen, who was beside Zhu Hongsan, saw that the emperor was unhappy, and whispered on the side: "Emperor, the Ma family has been sent to the harem Shou'an Palace for placement!" ”

Zhu Hongsan nodded when he heard Li Chengen say this, and said, "Okay, go to Shou'an Palace!" ”

Ma Ruyun is thirty-eight years old this year, and she is already an elderly woman according to the age division of the population in the Ming Dynasty, but because Ma Ruyun and Zhu Hongsan's dead wife Ma Xiaofang are very similar, Zhu Hongsan is so infatuated with Ma Ruyun, but he doesn't really like that night's joy.

Jin Daoming was involved in the rebellion case of Zhu Jiang, the king of Qin, all the men in the family were executed, and the female dependents were sold to the Jiaofang Division as prostitutes.

Although Ma Ruyun has a strong temperament, he and Jin Daoming have lived for more than 20 years after all, and gave birth to two sons for Jin Daoming, and now her husband and two biological sons have been executed by the emperor, and Ma Ruyun can't bear it in strength. However, Ma Ruyun was as if he was stunned, he didn't speak since he entered the palace, and sat there all the time.

Zhu Hongsan has been betrayed by his cronies and son one after another in the past month, and he is in a very bad mood, but when he walked into Shou'an Palace and saw Ma Ruyun who looked like Ma Xiaofang, the resentment in his heart began to calm down.

Zhu Hongsan walked into the room and sat down next to Ma Ruyun, then took Ma Ruyun's hand and said: "Ruyun, you will live here in the future, and I will make you the queen in a year and a half!" ”

When Ma Ruyun saw Zhu Hongsan coming in, she changed her demented appearance just now, stood up and pointed at Zhu Hongsan and asked, "Zhu Hongsan, why did you kill my two sons?" Jin Daoming conspired against you to kill Jin Daoming, why don't you let my two sons go! Ma Ruyun thought of the two sons who died in front of him, hugged his head and squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

Zhu Hongsan was also very reluctant to see Ma Ruyun like this, in fact, it was not impossible for Zhu Hongsan to let go of Ma Ruyun's two sons, but Zhu Hongsan has always talked about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and Zhu Hongsan will never leave two children to block himself.

Zhu Hongsan stepped forward and patted Ma Ruyun's shoulder and comforted: "Ruyun, aren't they just two children?" Wait for me to have another one in the future! ”

Zhu Hongsan's words angered Ma Ruyun, Ma Ruyun stood up and said angrily: "Duanjun, haven't you forcibly occupied me in the past few years because I look like my aunt, when did you really care about me?" You close your eyes every time you are happy with me, you simply treat me as an aunt! In the past, my son and I had no way to do anything about our net worth and life in your hands, but now my son is gone, my husband is dead, my brother and brother are dead in your hands, I have already broken my family, and I will never be afraid of you anymore! I'm fighting with you! ”

After Ma Ruyun finished speaking, he opened his hands and was about to come and fight with Zhu Hongsan, Zhu Hongsan was also scolded by Ma Ruyun, stepped forward and tightly grabbed Ma Ruyun's neck and scolded: "What do you think you are?" You're a broken shoe! If you didn't look like your aunt, do you think Lao Tzu would be able to take a fancy to you? ”

Zhu Hongsan was born as a military general, and he lost his weight in his hands, so Ma Ruyun rolled his eyes slowly, and soon died under Zhu Hongsan.
