Chapter 35: Lu Zhongheng is beaten

After Queen Ma fell seriously ill, she became more and more lazy. Except for raising Zhu Xiongying, he is not interested in anything else. However, she is still the lord of the six houses. As long as she wants to know something, there is nothing she doesn't know.

Queen Ma didn't bother, and directly asked someone to send a message to the prince. The prince immediately sent a letter.

What is written in it is all the inside story. Tang He's secret letter with He Xi went to Zhu Yuanzhang to ask him to do something. In the end, he was also guilty. He said he should have come to report it himself. It's just that I'm busy with affairs and can't get out of it. Only before dinner, come and ask for sin.

Queen Ma is not an ordinary woman.

Her mind is much more powerful than Lu Zhongheng. The prince said it so clearly. Queen Ma immediately grasped the inside story.

Empress Ma asked, "Have you gone to see Han Guogong?" What he said. ”

Lu Zhongheng naturally said without concealment.

When Queen Ma heard this, her heart was gloomy. He secretly said in his heart: "Li Shanchang has a long life, I don't know if it is the great fortune of the Li family or the great disaster of the Li family." ”

Actually, Queen Ma knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had killed Li Shanchang several times. Queen Ma secretly comforted her several times, and one of the important reasons was that Li Shanchang was already a person in his eighties. How many days can there be? Allow him a few years. It should be the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and if you do it, it will not only hurt the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, but also have a bad reputation.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do anything.

Otherwise, when Hu Weiyong was in the case, Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to take Li Shanchang away in a wave.

On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he would kill too many important ministers, and it would not end well. On the other hand, it is to wait for Li Shanchang to die by himself.

It's just that no one thought that the two hurdles of seventy-three and eighty-four, Li Shanchang easily passed, and he looked like he was going to kill Zhu Yuanzhang. forced Zhu Yuanzhang to do it.

Queen Ma looked at Lu Zhongheng in front of her, and said secretly in her heart: "That's it, it's finally been decades of ups and downs, since he has thoughts." I can't help but take care of it. Queen Ma said: "I know about the affairs of Nanyang. It does make money. My son-in-law is a gold saint, and he said that if he makes money, he will definitely make money. But this money is not given for free. Whoever Your Majesty wants to give it to is whomever it is. ”

Lu Zhongheng said: "Ask for grace from my mother." It's not easy for me to maintain a large family, and Your Majesty is strict with me, which is really hard. ”

Queen Ma said, "Do you really want to stick a foot in this? ”

Lu Zhongheng nodded repeatedly.

Queen Ma said, "I'll give it to you." Then he shouted: "Come, give me the rod to scold Ji Anhou." ”

Lu Zhongheng was stunned. He just wants money. wanted to make more money, he didn't know why Queen Ma suddenly changed her attitude. But I didn't dare to ask. Several palace people stepped forward and pressed Lu Zhongheng on the bench for a while.

When Queen Ma saw that Lu Zhongheng was beaten to the point that his skin was open and blood was flowing everywhere, she waved her hand and said, "Stop." ”

These palace people stopped.

But Lu Zhongheng didn't know if he really couldn't get up, or if he pretended to be pitiful. In short, she looked at Queen Ma aggrievedly, but she didn't dare to say a word.

Queen Ma said: "I scolded you for no reason, what do you think? ”

Lu Zhongheng is not the original teenager after all, as a general, he has not been beaten like this for many years. Naturally, there is resentment in my heart. said with resentment: "Niangniang wants to fight the lowly position, but the lowly position doesn't know what she did wrong?" However, if the mother wants to fight, it is not a natural thing. Humble duties can only be next to each other. ”

Queen Ma said: "Come on, carry him to the Qianqing Palace." Queen Ma lowered her body and said in Lu Zhongheng's ear: "Remember, when you get over there, you can say whatever you want." Let's be honest. ”

Queen Ma watched Lu Zhongheng being carried away, and worried about her stupid brother to death, she sighed and said, "I can do everything you want." The rest depends on the Qianqing Palace. ”

------

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw Lu Zhongheng who was carried over, he asked the palace people who sent him over, and immediately understood Queen Ma's intentions.

Queen Ma's intentions are twofold.

The first is to let Zhu Yuanzhang discourage.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been angry with Lu Zhongheng. I think he's a big fool, others are in a group, and you are blindly mixed up or something. Zhu Yuanzhang knew the ending of Lu Zhongheng in history, although he was a little sad, but he was not sad.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a ruthless person. The love of the year is still on Queen Ma's side. But on Zhu Yuanzhang's side, there are not many left.

It's just that Lu Zhongheng himself doesn't know.

It's like Lu Zhongheng is actually changing the door this time. He didn't quite understand it himself.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think so.

Many times, the ideas of smart people and stupid people are not connected.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang are first-class smart people. There is no way to understand the thinking of people like Lu Zhongheng. And Lu Joong-hyung's performance is also very confusing. When Lu Zhongheng was in the war, he was also very spiritual. It's not stupid either.

But why is there such a performance in this matter?

Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that Lu Zhongheng was pretending to be stupid. Tang He is a slippery head, and so is Lu Zhongheng. Tang He still has a principled position, and Lu Zhongheng doesn't even have this.

Such a person is capricious, what is the use of it?

Queen Ma gave him a killing stick, which was to give Zhu Yuanzhang a step down. At the same time, he also expressed his attitude and pleaded for Lu Zhongheng.

Second, it is to show Lu Zhongheng's loyalty.

Queen Ma scolded Lu Zhongheng for no reason, and Lu Zhongheng's performance also illustrates. He is still loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. Although this is a jerk, it is also our jerk. Always sin is not unto death. You can't really kill him.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "I want to have a dragon, but I have a dog." ”

If it was Li Shanchang who came to intercede today, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be very happy. After all, Li Shanchang's influence is incomparable to Lu Zhongheng. But it was Lu Zhongheng who came, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel chicken.

First, now it's not the beginning. Although Lu Zhongheng is a hero. But his ability, among the heroes, is not too prominent. There are not many people who can replace him. For Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no necessity.

Second, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, this guy has long been unable to be saved.

Fall into the eye of money.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, he was unwilling to accept him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the record of his killing heroes in history. I sighed in my heart.

He has been thinking about these histories for a long time. And he felt he was wrong. But it's not good enough. Killing is also an art. He did it too roughly. For example, the death of Li Shanchang is obviously unjust. But no one noticed that before killing Li Shanchang, Zhu Yuanzhang had a serious illness and almost died.

That's why he killed Li Shanchang in such a hurry.

Leaves a huge black spot.

Before that, Zhu Yuanzhang also hoped that Li Shanchang would be able to survive.

However, now Zhu Yuanzhang has no such expectations. Since he has decided to change the law. A lot of things don't take that long. The clean-up of the interior of the imperial court will soon come. No, it should be said that it is already in the making.

It's just, who should be killed and who shouldn't be killed? Some people have to die, some people are somewhere in between.

Zhu Yuanzhang is weighing.

Looking at Lu Zhongheng, whose flesh and blood were blurred, there was no unspoken plea from Queen Ma. Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart: "That's it." Obviously, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Lu Zhongheng is between killable and unkillable. Now Lu Zhongheng's choice will pull him half out of the death list, and the remaining half will depend on Lu Zhongheng's current performance.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Are you guilty? ”

Lu Zhongheng's face was full of confusion, and he said secretly in his heart; "I'm just asking for some grace. How it became a sin. However, Zhu Yuanzhang has a deep sense of prestige, and Lu Zhongheng is very afraid, since Zhu Yuanzhang asked so. He could only have one answer. Said; "The minister is guilty."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "What crime was committed? ”

Lu Zhongheng stammered, he really didn't know what to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you don't say yes, I'll give it to you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang walked over in a few steps, took out some documents from the bookshelf in the corner, smashed them on Lu Zhongheng's head, and said; "Look at it. What do you think of your head compared to Liao Yongzhong? How is it better than Zhu Liangzu? How is merit better than Hu Dahai? ”

Lu Zhongheng immediately picked up these documents, and just read a few lines of words, and he was stunned. Cold sweat mixed with blood, and there was a squeaky pain in my back.
