The soul of the red lady's gossip began to burn majestically, and I just hoped that they could say a few more words about this matter and let her have fun. But after Ma Xinyu's question was asked, Ma Zhixiong hurriedly covered his son's mouth, dragged him behind him, and said with a touch of embarrassment on his face: "King Zhuba, there is no need to mention the past again, don't take what the child says to heart, and please don't be an adult, don't be like him." ”

The Ma family is not the kind of fool who doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is, at this time the city has been broken, and his family's life is all in the hands of Zhu Ba, he is a person who knows the times, and there was a conflict with Chengcheng Zhang Douyao, he decisively married his sister to the Zhang family, and married the daughter of the Zhang family to his own family, but he is a person who knows how to follow the trend, and at this time he only thinks about how to please Zhu Ba and get through this difficulty. Coldly, his son jumped out and roared like this, which frightened him into dissipation, and he was afraid that Zhu Ba ordered to kill all their families, and it would be over.

In fact, for the Ma family, Zhang Yingxian is just a hurried passerby, she is dead and alive, and it has little to do with the Ma family, if Zhang Douyao is still alive, the Ma family may pay more attention to Zhang Yingxian for the sake of her mother's power, but the Zhang family is already in ruins, what does it matter if Zhang Yingxian is snatched away by Zhu Ba? Ma Zhixiong didn't take this matter to heart at all, even if he took it to heart, at this critical moment of life and death, he didn't mention it.

He tried his best to cover it up, of course Zhu Yuanzhang would not be bored to explain, and skipped the topic of the second aunt directly, and his eyes were only locked on Ma Zhixiong.

Ma Zhixiong was frightened by his staring, and hurriedly said, "Eighth King Zhu." At the beginning, the Ma family treated you well, and there was no grievance against you, and I still hope that in the past, I will let my Ma family have a way to live, if it is...... If there is really any obstacle that cannot be overcome, but please spare my child's life, and I will hand over the old bones to you. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, didn't answer his words, but asked, "Before the city was broken, you made a lot of money selling grain, right?" I watched the rioters rush into Ma's house. Explain when the food in the city is exhausted. You didn't open a warehouse to give grain to the people, and no one received your affection......"

His question frightened Ma Zhixiong's face to change, and then he regretted that he shouldn't have listened to Du Shan's words. If the warehouse is opened, the grain is released. That's when you get a pretty answer. He hurriedly said, "I'll donate all the money I earn from selling grain." ”

"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, stopped talking nonsense with him, turned around and walked out of Ma's house.

Ma Zhixiong was sweating profusely. It's like taking a shower with sweat, and when the wind blows, the whole body is cold, and I only feel that I went around before the ghost gate is closed, and finally picked up a life and came back. At this time, there were already soldiers of the Zhu army guarding in front of his door, and the rebels no longer rushed into the courtyard, he sat down on the ground with a fart, and said to the knife hands in an astringent voice: "Go quickly, move all the gold and silver out of the house, and in a while we will all move to the army of the eight kings of Zhu, don't hide half a cent privately, otherwise the head of Xiang Shangshang will not be guaranteed." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the Ma family's compound, raised his head and stared into the sky for a while, and then said to Ma Xiaotian beside him: "Xiaotian, you take the people of the old first team and the second team to the corners, alleys, ditches, broken temples and other places in the city to look carefully, be sure to find out the third miss of the Ma family and her husband Du Shan, and bring them to our army to meet, don't lose your courtesy." ”

Ma Xiaotianqi said: "What are you looking for them to do?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face remained unchanged: "The people of the Ma family can also be regarded as my ancestors, and in this time of chaos, it is also appropriate to keep them safe." ”

Ma Xiaotian asked again: "Then why do you want to send the old first team and the second team?" This is our elite, and it is a waste to find people. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "When the city was broken, Du Shan killed the second young man and fled, he must have disguised himself as a poor man, otherwise he would die in the chaos." Since they wear makeup, they may also use kana. The old first team and the second team are all veterans of Baishui, and most of them know the third miss of the Ma family, so let them find the right one. ”

Ma Xiaotian had no objection at this time, and hurriedly took someone to drill the alley to break the temple and look around.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was calm, and he continued to move forward as if nothing happened. The red lady followed behind him, kept glancing at his side face, and just thought in her heart: I didn't expect that Brother Zhu was actually a person who robbed people's daughters-in-law, and this kind of dark past, he didn't look like this kind of person who robbed people's daughters, he didn't have any kind words for women, he wasn't the kind of wicked person who saw the uprising, did he have any major gossip stories? Be sure to listen well when you go back. By the way, I haven't met my sister-in-law Zhang Yingxian yet, and when I went to visit her another day, I just wanted to probe her tone, if she was really reluctantly snatched by Brother Zhu, I would do it for Tianxing and help her escape.

At this time, everyone had already walked to the front of the Qin Palace, and when they looked at it, the leaders of the earth buns were taken aback. The red lady couldn't help but lose her color and exclaimed: "Huh? Another city in the city? ”

It turns out that the palace of the king of Qin is not just a mansion, it can be called a city within a city, but a small city in the big city of Xi'an, the city wall of this city is as high as 2 zhang 9 feet 5 inches (11.5 meters high), the thickest point is up to 6 zhang (18 meters), the female wall is 5 feet 5 inches high, and the moat is 5 zhang (15 meters) wide. This scale is comparable to the imperial palaces in Beijing and Nanjing, and it really makes people feel incomparable.

Of course, the Red Lady and others did not know that at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once took Xi'an as one of the locations of the capital, and later chose Nanjing for various reasons, but Xi'an is still extremely important in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. So he sent his second son Zhu Fan to Xi'an and named him "the first feudal feud in the world".

From the beginning of the fourth year of Hongwu, Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen was ordered to build the city of the palace of the king of Qin, based on the old site of the Imperial History Department of the Shaanxi * West Zhudao in the Yuan Dynasty, and carried out the renovation, which lasted seven years, until the eleventh year of Hongwu when Zhu Fan came to Xi'an to squat, the city of the palace of the king of Qin was completely completed. It took seven years to build the Qin Palace, how could it be bad? Even compared with Nanjing's palace city, it is not inferior, and the "Chronicle of Gengzi's Westward Journey" records that Qing Dynasty scholars pointed out that the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty is still there, complete as new, and its address is wider than that of Nanjing. Here is directly called the "Forbidden City" Qin Wangfu City, which shows that its status and scale are indeed comparable to the palace cities in Nanjing and Beijing in the eyes of the Qing people. There are more than 800 houses in the city, and a large number of cyan glazed tiles are used.

Such a majestic palace, once mortals see it, they naturally can't help but panic and take away their anger. The big and small leaders under Zhu Yuanzhang walked in front of this building, and their arrogance couldn't help but drop by half.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced back at everyone, snorted and said: "Cheer up, just one palace will scare you like this, won't you be scared directly when you look at the capital in the future?" ”

Red Lady, Xu Renjie, Poodle, Bai Yuzhu and others were a little embarrassed, and quickly coughed, cheered up, and thought in their hearts: Brother Zhu still has determination, he looked at such a powerful palace, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, it seems that he was born to be a big man.

Everyone walked along the outer wall of the palace for a while, and when they came to the gate, they saw that the suspension bridge was put down, and the Qin Wangfu did not put away the suspension bridge to be a turtle, and I didn't know if it was too late to put away the suspension bridge, or they didn't think about it at all, they just closed the gate, and a group of chaotic people surrounded the door, but they couldn't rush in. There are hundreds of palace guards on the head of the palace wall, stretching their bows and arrows, confronting the rebels. The two huge bronze lions in front of the gate of the mansion were pushed away a little by the rebels, and several rioters fell in front of the bronze lion, with feather arrows stuck in their bodies. (This pair of bronze lions is now in the Forest of Steles Museum, interested book lovers can go to see it)

When the palace guards at the head of the city saw Zhu Jun, they immediately made an uproar, and some shouted: "The thieves are coming, defend them quickly." ”

Others cried out in despair, "We're done." ”

In a panic, Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, who was wearing a luxurious silk robe, also went up to the city wall, exposed half of his head to look out, and then fell to the ground softly, muttering in his mouth: "It's over, it's over, it's all over......"

You must know that the thieves are extremely ruthless to the royal family, those relatives of the Zhu family in small counties and small state cities, once they are caught by the thieves of the 36th battalion, they usually die miserably, and any peeling and stuffing grass is a trivial matter, and it is often heard that there is a thief who cooked a certain county king and ate the news, Zhu Cunshu was thinking about these rumors repeatedly in his heart at this time, and he was so frightened that his teeth were fighting.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the front of King Qin's mansion, and as he walked, he was also thinking about how to deal with King Qin. If you follow the general plan of the rebel army to deal with the royal family, of course, it is to drag it out and announce how many people he has embezzled, count the evil things he has done, and then push it out to cut off his head, or kill him in various strange ways, in short, it is to make a show, let the people watch the rich people being killed, and the people who hate the rich will naturally be crooked, and then they will join the rebel army with all their hearts.

However, the Zhu army was different from ordinary thieves, and the way the Zhu army bought people's hearts and minds was to provide benefits to the people, so that they could truly feel that Zhu Jun's rule was beneficial to them. Those who benefit from the world win the world, and the people will naturally die if they get the benefits, so Zhu Jun does not need to fight for the loyalty of the people by killing the royal family, and in fact, the loyalty obtained by that method is not stable.

For example, after Zhang Xianzhong captured Wuchang, he captured the Chu king Zhu Huakui, and he ordered the king of Chu to be killed, let his subordinates eat his flesh, and then send silver to gather the exiles. At that time, the effect was very good, and the displaced people supported Zhang Xianzhong one after another. But then what? Neither did the people sell his accounts, nor listened to him, so that he might slaughter him to vent his anger.

In the final analysis, people who engage in political showmanship to buy the hearts of the people have no ability, and real heroes, real heroes, real rulers, and real people who can govern the world do not need to put on a show, but they can also make everyone return to their hearts.
