Chapter 38: The dragon swims in shallow water and is played by shrimp, and the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken!
"The dragon was played by shrimp in shallow water, and the tiger was bullied by dogs in Pingyang!"
"I'm a down-and-out phoenix, and I'm not as good as a chicken here!"
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, who had not yet reacted, and said seriously.
Hearing such a sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood everything.
People are like this, some things can be understood as long as they are a little bit, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, who is so smart that as long as he doesn't get angry, he is terrifying.
Queen Ma used three famous sayings containing dragons, phoenixes and tigers to compare the three of them in their current situation, which can already be said to be quite appropriate.
It only takes a little bit of thought to figure out the truth.
Not bad
He, Zhu Yuanzhang, did have a way to prove his identity as emperor in that situation.
But in that case, once it is known that they are the emperor, empress and the pro-army commanders, what will these people do?
Everyone knelt down and begged for mercy respectfully?
There should be some loyal and timid people who kneel respectfully and beg for mercy!
But there will definitely be some smart and bold people who will want to go to another level!
That is, let the emperor Lao Tzu wear shackles, can they still live?
According to common sense, it must be all beheaded for public display regardless of the reason!
Albeit out of a misunderstanding, but so what?
Misunderstanding is not a reason for Emperor Lao Tzu to wear shackles, even if it is for the sake of Emperor Lao Tzu's face, they all have to die in numbness.
It's useless to beg for mercy no matter what!
Instead of waiting for death, it is better to insist that he pretend to be the emperor and kill him directly.
This possibility is definitely not impossible, and it is even likely to happen.
Zhu Yuanzhang just thought about it a little, and immediately thought of how terrible this matter was!
If he is in the position of the other party, once it is confirmed that the person he misunderstood is His Majesty the Emperor, he will definitely not kneel down and beg for mercy, and will definitely kill the wrong person with a knife!
It was only after becoming the emperor that Zhu Yuanzhang understood this truth the most.
With thousands of troops behind him, he is the emperor who 'the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die'.
If you are in danger and reveal that you are the emperor, then the one who dies is the emperor!
The reason why I didn't think of so much just now was because I was so angry that my brain was short-circuited.
Looking back now, it is indeed his sister-in-law's practice that is the safest.
Not bad
With his and Mao Xiang's martial arts, not to mention that he can definitely escape with Queen Ma, he also has a certain certainty that he can 'capture the thief and capture the king first'.
But it's also very risky!
Now that he is the lord of the Ming Dynasty and has a big family, there is no need to take such a risk, nor should he take such a risk.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately turned to look at his sister-in-law, and in addition to the obvious gratitude in his eyes, there was endless tenderness.
And at this very moment,
Sunlight gradually spreads through the high, narrow ventilation windows, forming a pillar of light that has the meaning of a stage lamp.
And Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma are the middle-aged distressed couple under the 'stage lights'!
Zhu Yuanzhang held Queen Ma's hand tightly, only thinking that this was the whitest and most tender slender jade hand in the world, and he was stunned that it was a treasure.
"Girl,"
"We have to say that we are blessed to have you."
"We have to listen to you for all these things!"
Queen Ma just smiled and said, "Brother Chong, you always believe in me unconditionally, why aren't you my blessing?" ”
Opposite them,
Mao Xiao looked at this scene and only felt goosebumps all over his body.
But he also had to admit that Queen Ma's approach was right, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who unconditionally believed in Queen Ma, was even more right.
It can also be seen from this incident that it is definitely not an accident that they can become the emperor and queen who drove away the barbarian yuan.
Couples who are so united can succeed in any field!
In this life, he can saddle the horse for such an emperor and queen couple, and he is worth it!
"Mother......
Mao Xiang wanted to open his mouth to express his respect and apology to Queen Ma, but he just started the first word 'Niang', and before the next word 'Niang' came out, he was stunned by Queen Ma's stern eyes.
Queen Ma beckoned and motioned for Mao Xiang to come around, so that she could whisper in her ear: "Be careful that the wall has ears." ”
"You've been so dazed all the way that you didn't notice there's something wrong with this cell?"
"They deliberately arranged for us to go to this corner of the cell, and there were several empty cells in the back, just to give us the illusion that there was no one around, and we didn't need to be careful."
"If I'm right, they must have snuck up next door to us, maybe with their ears on the wall!"
"Now that you have understood my intentions, if you want to speak in the future, you will whisper in your ear, and you must not call Your Majesty and Niangniang, there are only lords and ladies here!"
“......”
As soon as Queen Ma's voice fell,
Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang looked at the wall in front of them, their eyes as sharp as eagles, as if they could see through the heavy walls.
Of course, this is not possible.
But what Queen Ma said is really right, it really has ears on the wall!
In the cell next door to them,
Ye Qing just sat on the bed, looking at the secret service captain who was listening with his ears against the wall and pouting his ass, as well as his assistant county Cheng.
"What did they say?"
Ye Qing saw that the agent captain and the assistant county man were still listening attentively, but they had not reported, so he took the initiative to ask.
The two of them, who had only been in place for a short time, just frowned and shook their heads, and continued to listen, for fear of missing even a word.
Ye Qing saw the two of them shaking their heads, and he also felt a little surprised.
They just stay and stare at each other?
Don't give a word of confession?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing shook his head unconsciously.
Needless to say, they must have realized that the wall had ears.
Since it is an elite spy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that the agents have to take special care of, this anti-reconnaissance ability is still there.
If that's the case, just let the two of them eavesdrop here, and there's a good chance they'll not be able to eavesdrop on anything.
He'll have to think of another way!
After a while, Ye Qing looked at the tall and narrow tuyere window.
Just when Ye Qing looked at the tuyere window with quite deep eyes, Queen Ma next door started again.
In the prison next door,
Empress Ma attached her ears to Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, and said in an extremely low voice: "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of you must hold back no matter what the future holds, and forget that you are the emperor and general for the time being." ”
"Let's talk about it later!"
After hearing this, Mao Xiang immediately nodded and said: "Yes, we have to find a way to escape, Your Majesty and Niangniang can rest assured, in terms of prison escape, the minister is an expert." ”
"When the Ying Tianfu Edict and the Heavenly Prison were rebuilt, in order to test their safety, the minister was personally imprisoned and then escaped from prison."
"The edict prison and the heavenly prison are so impenetrable, the ministers can escape, and the ministers don't believe it, and the ministers can't escape from the big prison in this small county?"
"After the minister goes out, he will immediately go to transfer troops."
When Queen Ma heard Mao Xiang say this, she immediately said the layout of this prison.
In the next moment, Mao Xiang, a prison escape expert, was directly deflated.
Again, he was so angry that he didn't pay attention to the layout of the prison.
After Queen Ma's brief explanation, he immediately dispelled the idea of escaping.
Because he has already made up for the end of escaping, he will definitely be shot as a hedgehog halfway through the run!
"Since we can't escape, how else can we get out?"
"Are you really waiting for them to find out that we were wronged and acquitted?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Mao Xiang was deflated, so he looked at his sister-in-law and asked in a whisper.
It's just that the acquittal of this kind of thing, he himself thinks it's unlikely.
It's not impossible, but it's absolutely remote.
Putting hope in the unlikely is not what he, as an emperor, should do.
In the past, those who were barefoot were not afraid to wear shoes, and maybe they could still gamble like this.
Now that the family has a big business, I really can't afford to gamble!
"We can't escape from here, but we have a way to get out!"
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was worried, Queen Ma said confidently! ......
