Forty-two, happy crossing

Happy always thinks about a happy ending, and she even hopes that Xiaoxiao will marry Chu Liuyan, so that everyone will be happy, but the two parties don't seem to agree with her proposal.

The happy figure became fainter and fainter, and at this time, suddenly the door was opened, Chu Liuyan and Xiaoxiao were suddenly shocked in their hearts, and Xiaoxiao directly pulled out their swords.

The figure at the door was extremely familiar, although it was a little sloppy, but it was obvious that the person was Xu Da, and everyone recognized it at a glance.

Xu Da closed the door directly, and then walked briskly.

"How did you get here?" Chu Liuyan was surprised.

"I was happy to say that she might leave today, so I'll come here to take a look, if she really leaves, I should say goodbye to Brother Liu's relatives, how can I not come." Xu Da looked at the figure whose happiness was gradually fading, and his face was not doing anything except for some surprise at the beginning.

"By the way, I still remember something, Sister Chu, Brother Xu, you must be careful of Zhu Yuanzhang, you must be!" Happy said that the whole person almost became transparent, she reached out to Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao hurriedly greeted her hand, but at the moment of intersection, Happy Whole Person disappeared like air.

"Happy..."Xiaoxiao sat down on the ground as if he had been defeated by a master with extremely strong martial arts, and muttered to himself: "Happy, you love money so much, I should let you take some money with you." Happy, will you think of me when you get there? ”

"Laugh." Chu Liuyan stroked her head with his hand, smiled and threw herself into the rough Liuyan's arms and cried like a child.

"Don't cry, he asked me to give it to you." Xu Da pulled out a coin, a one-yuan coin in the renminbi in 21st-century China: "This is what she wants me to give you." ”

On the other hand, Happy found herself lying in bed, as if nothing had happened, she just got up as usual. But everything in Happy Mind was so real that she felt that it was something that had actually happened, because she had a rusty antique bronze mirror beside her. This mirror is obviously a priceless treasure, and it is also a national treasure when sent to the museum, but she is happy to know that this thing will always be treasured by herself, and money may not be so important to her.

Happy finally got his wish and returned to 21 actually, but on the other hand, life will go on.

Here I have to mention Lan Yu again, he is the object of Queen Ma's first love, and Ma Xiuying later married Zhu Yuanzhang. And his wife Guo Ruyi, who did not pass through the door, was also accepted by Zhu Yuanzhang as a concubine, and she has always been haunted.

On this day, Lan Yu held a banquet in the mansion and invited Chang Yuchun to drink together. After thirty years of drinking, Lan Yu was a little drunk.

"Brother Chang, how do you say to be a son today?"

"True heroes, too." Sanyu Chun Road.

"How's the character?"

"It's a gentleman."

"How's that going?"

"Big husband too."

"Haha, you're drunk." Lan Yu laughed, pointed at Chang Yuchun and shook his head: "A gentleman doesn't take away people's favors, Zhu Yuanzhang takes away my beloved wife, how can it be a gentleman's doing?" ”

Chang Yuchun also knew about this, Lan Yu was now drunk and speechless, so he hurriedly went up to dissuade him: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

"Ears? What is it? ”

"God has ears." Chang Yuchun is not easy to say directly.

"God? On this day, if there are ears, there will be eyes, and he saw my beloved wife being taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang, although he has eyes, he is also blind. The sky has ears, and it is long overdue to change the sky. Zhu Yuanzhang snatched my wife, I felt really uncomfortable! Brother Chang, I know that you have been serving Zhu Yuanzhang, but do you know that I miss it day and night, and I am angry in my heart? After that, he drank three more glasses and fell to the ground.

"Ugh." Chang Yuchun also felt that it was a little inappropriate for Zhu Yuanzhang to take advantage of others, but the matter was over, and Lan Yu's gaffe after drinking was also fateful. Helping Lan Yu aside, Chang Yuchun was about to leave, but when he pushed the door, he saw his entourage at the door: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Back to my lord, I think you should go back too, so I'm waiting outside the door."

"Did you hear anything in there?"

"Back to the old man, the little one just arrived at the door, and the little man didn't know what the master asked."

"Alright, let's go." After speaking, Chang Yuchun left.

But what Chang Yuchun never expected was that his servant was his confidant, and because he was close to Zhu Yuanzhang, it was also very convenient for him to enter and leave the palace.

Soon, after sending Chang Yuchun to the house, this entourage named Zhang Er went directly to the palace.

Because he was holding Chang Yuchun's waist card, he was not hindered much along the way, until he reached the outside of Zhu Yuanzhang's study.

Changshun blocked his way: "The emperor is reading a book, it's not too late to talk about something tomorrow." It's 10,000 today, please go back. ”

"Please go back to the emperor and say that someone is plotting rebellion."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Changshun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After searching Zhang Er and determining that he was not carrying a weapon, he finally met Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Zhang Er?"

"It's the emperor, it's rare for the emperor to remember the villain's name, it's really an honor."

"Why don't you call you when you don't come, what is the matter with entering the palace in the middle of the night?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, just now Lord Chang and Lord Lan Yu were drinking, and the villain was outside the door and heard some words that should not be heard. Lord Chang didn't dare to say it because he was afraid that the emperor would worry. The villain is not, the villain is not afraid of causing criticism, and he is not afraid of being implicated like an adult. The villain's loyalty to the emperor is evident. ”

"Alright, let's talk." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "If it is true, there will be a lot of rewards, if it is rumors, I will be ruthless." ”

"It's the emperor." Zhang Er paused for a moment, and said: "Lord Lan and my master drank tonight, and Lord Lan drank too much, and began to count the emperor's wrongs." ”

"Say? What not? "Zhu Yuanzhang happened to be looking at the harem roster just now, and the concubine selected today was the woman he recruited into the palace named Guo Ruyi, and I heard that she was Lan Yu's unfinished wife. Originally, she couldn't enter the palace if she had her in-laws, but Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this woman was very beautiful and forcibly let her enter the palace. Could it be that for this?

"The villain doesn't dare." Zhang Er was horrified.

"Say it quickly, or I'll kill you right now!" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry.

"Your Majesty, Lord Lan asked the lord how he behaved, and the lord replied that he was a hero, and then asked how his conduct was, and replied that he was a gentleman, and asked the emperor how he behaved, and replied that he was a husband. Lord Lan didn't think so, saying that the emperor relied on women and was not worthy of being a hero. said that the emperor took away people's wives, but he took people's favor, and he was not worthy of a gentleman. said that the emperor was a villain. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately angry when he heard this, and slapped the table: "Okay, he's a blue jade, he doesn't eat and drink when he toasts." He looked at Zhang Er again: "Okay, you will have merit, great merit." I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, and in the future, I will find an opportunity to reward you for being an official, go down. ”

Zhang Er received a reward of 1,000 taels of silver and soon left happily.

Looking at Zhang Er's back, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "I think you have no life to spend this silver, and this official has to have a life to do it." Zhu Yuanzhang instructed the guards: "This person is Chang Yuchun's subordinate, but he behaves like this, deceives the master and comes to report it privately, and he will be quietly disposed of in a while, otherwise he will be no different from Hu Weiyong in the future." ”

"Yes." The guards went down.

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking in the house: "I am about to go to Concubine Hui, which is very disappointing." I didn't expect Lan Yu to hold a grudge against me, thinking that he would kill the king, and he would be a disaster one day. Now that Hu Weiyong's case is widely implicated, why don't I take this opportunity to get rid of him all so as to prevent future troubles? ”

On the second day, a team of people arrived at the Blue Jade Mansion...

Lan Yu was implicated in a number of major corruption cases, refused to cooperate with the investigation by force, and died in the chaos. This was the final report, and everyone was shocked.

The first one who doesn't believe is Queen Ma, Lan Yu is the person she knows best, although Queen Ma, who once had infinite longing for Lan Yu, married Zhu Yuanzhang, but for Lan Yu, she has always maintained this repeated love in her heart.

"Impossible, Lan Yu will definitely not be corrupt, and it is impossible to rebel against the officers and soldiers of the imperial court." After thinking about it, Queen Ma thought of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Could it be him?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang robbed Lan Yu's wife, and the two can be said to be incompatible. Queen Ma opened the roster, and it clearly indicated that Zhu Yuanzhang was fortunate to be Concubine Hui last night. As soon as she went to investigate, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go to Concubine Hui last night, and the matter was extremely strange, she thought it was Zhu Yuanzhang.

Queen Ma decided to go to Zhu Yuanzhang and soon came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have something to ask for."

"I don't know what happened when the queen arrived?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so.

"Your Majesty, the concubine asked you, but you sent someone to kill this blue jade?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "So what? ”

"You—" Queen Ma was speechless angrily.

"Humph! I knew you were going to come and cry out for him. Do you know that yesterday this blue jade said that he wanted to kill me, and there was a witness. Killing the monarch is a great crime of treason, and it is necessary to behead the nine clans all over the house. I'm looking at your face and letting him die a little more freely, why not? After that, Zhu Yuanzhang threw up his sleeves and left.

Queen Ma said that it was not good to force her mouth to say anything, so she had to be sullen. And because of this incident, her perfect image in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind has been reduced after many years, and it is not as good as before.

"Humph! This Ma Xiuying even pleaded for that blue jade! Come on, report the conspiracy of Lan Yu'an and Hu Weiyong to rebel together, so as to block everyone's mouths. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang made another decree, Xuan Lanyu was killed for treason, and Queen Ma was furious and couldn't get sick.

"Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Governor asks to see you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was playing with a woman, and when he heard this, he waved his hand, and the woman withdrew.

"Li Wenzhong came to me again, is it also because of the blue jade matter?" Although he had doubts in his heart, he still nodded: "Call him in, I have something to ask." ”

Soon the governor Li Wenzhong came in, and first saluted: "Minister Li Wenzhong pays a visit to the emperor." ”

"Haha, Zhong'er, there is no outsider here, you can call me my father and king." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to greet Li Wenzhong: "Come, come, sit next to me." I haven't seen you in a long time, how are you doing? ”

This governor Li Wenzhong has military power, and Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied with him.

"Back to the emperor, everything is fine."

"Is there any movement around the barbarians?"

"There's no movement, it's very stable. They would send offerings on time every year to worship, and they were very afraid of my Daming. ”

"Good, haha, good!" Zhu Yuanzhang called two good in a row, which shows that he is in a happy mood: "This world is safe, and my wish is enough." At present, Hu Weiyong and his henchmen are exterminated, the treasury is sufficient, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and my Ming momentum is like a rainbow, and I will be able to surpass the ancestors to inherit orthodoxy. Come, have a drink with me and celebrate. ”

Li Wenzhong shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister is here for Hu Weiyong's case. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Say it." There was a look of displeasure on his face.

Li Wenzhong is not a fool, everyone can see it. But he felt that he had to say that maybe the world was so big, and only he Li Wenzhong could say it.

So Li Wenzhong still spoke: "The minister thinks that the emperor's extermination of Hu Weiyong this time is indeed worthy of praise. The emperor can be prepared for danger in times of peace and uproot disasters, and he is indeed a Ming Juner. As soon as the words changed, the spearhead went straight down: "But the emperor, it is said that you executed Lan Yu, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Lan Yu rebelled, and he could only get rid of it." Zhu Yuanzhang also put on a regretful expression: "Actually, I have given him a chance, and he was killed by the Imperial Forest Army without desperate resistance." And I didn't harm his family, which can be described as benevolent and righteous. ”

Li Wenzhong closed his eyes and thought about it, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son and Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, as the so-called kiss and kiss, plus he held the military power in his hands, and the official worshiped the governor, he could still say a few words, so he spoke: "Your Majesty." ”

"Why don't you call me uncle or father, could it be that you also have the heart of rebellion?" Zhu Yuanzhang's cold tone surprised Li Wenzhong: "It's not that I don't want to call, it's really that I have business to discuss today, so I call it this title." Although you and I are uncles and nephews, and father and son, but for national affairs, I am the king of Chen, and we cannot be close. ”

"Well, well, I'd like to hear what you, a courtier, have to say to me."

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously very displeased.

But Li Wenzhong stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, Lan Yu has always been cautious and does not say much, he is honest and upright, although his temperament is a little feminine, but Yichen has known him for many years, and it is absolutely impossible to murder the emperor." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but just asked lightly: "What do you mean?" Did you really frame him? ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Hmph, Li Wenzhong, is there anything you don't dare to do in this world? How dare you doubt me, what do you have to doubt about me? ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of Lanyu is really unknown, and I hope the emperor can explain it to me."

"Say? Why do I say to you? Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "You and my uncle and nephew are father and son, I single-handedly entrust you with important tasks, but you don't think about opposing my many doubts, it's really daring." The fact that the blue jade rebellion is like this, if you want to ask the reason for it, you can't go to the underworld to ask him. If it's okay, go down, don't ruin my interest. ”

Li Wenzhong still refused to leave: "Your Majesty, the death of this blue jade will inevitably fall on the emperor's head in the future, killing loyal ministers in vain, and making a mouthful of tongues." Your Majesty, Lan Yu is obviously not guilty, but you sent someone to kill her. It is impossible for Lan Yu to collude with Hu Weiyong, but you say that he colluded with Hu Weiyong to plot to kill you, you are clearly framing and killing innocents. ”

"Bold!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sit still, this Li Wenzhong's gaffe actually touched the scales of every king: "If you speak wildly, you can't rebel!" Someone, pull this unreasonable fellow out of me, put him in prison, and no one is allowed to visit him. This son was arrogant and rude, and he shouted and accused the emperor of everything, which was too bold. If this person doesn't kill, how can he revitalize the dynasty! ”

A few guards recently twisted Li Wenzhong and took him out, Li Wenzhong didn't expect the matter to be so dramatic, but he couldn't change it, so he had to shout: "Uncle Huang, father, you can't be like this." ”

"It's only now that the family affection is set, don't you think it's too late?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

"Uncle Huang, you can't kill innocents indiscriminately, this makes the Manchu Dynasty civil and military cold, Emperor, don't act like this, the emperors of all dynasties have buried the country like this!"

Hearing him shout like this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more furious: "Escort down, wait for me to kill this child one day!" Let him dare to make another attempt. ”

At this time, Changshun walked over: "Your Majesty, you can't kill it." ”

"Why can't you kill it?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of yin lines.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li is your relative, this close person can't be killed, otherwise the people of the royal family will definitely be dissatisfied."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "What if anyone is dissatisfied?" Do they dare to accuse me? No one else in the world can kill the royal family, but I can. I'm killing chickens and respecting monkeys, and I also let those royal families know that they should be restrained when it's time to converge, otherwise the disaster of killing will befall them sooner or later. ”

"Your Majesty, but Master Li is your godson, this tiger poison does not eat children, you will not kill your own son." Changshun is also relatively kind, unlike the general chamberlain, who will only fan the flames, it can be said that he is still more loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, so he is also more concerned about the safety of the emperor.

"Changshun, it is precisely because he is my godson, the prince, and the prince that I want to cut him. I have many heirs, and there will be more in the future. All dragons will compete for power, I just want to kill Li Wenzhong at this juncture, so that everyone can be restrained, I don't want to spend extra money, and work hard. ”

Changshun looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, the emperor loves the emperor and dresses the emperor, although he only knows how to serve the emperor in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but there is a sentence I want to say, but I don't know whether it is right or not, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "You are my confidant, you have everything to say, why don't you say it." ”

"So the minister said."
