Outside the Jinyi Guard's command envoys,

Jiang Xuan, who was dressed in standard brocade clothes and gold armor, went straight to the office study of the commander Mao Xiang.

Jiang Xuan looked at the hair inlay that was writing something quickly, clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Master, I am arranging for today's palace guard, why are you in such a hurry to call me back?" ”

Mao Xiao kept writing in his hand, but said solemnly: "This is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, you and I are wearing official uniforms, not you and my family, who is your master?" ”

After Jiang Zhen heard this, he only replied rigorously: "Yes, General Mao!" ”

After a while, Mao Xiang handed the letter he had just written to Jiang Zhen and said, "I am going to find Your Majesty now, and I will take this letter to the Queen Mother now." ”

"Remember, it must be me walking quickly, you jogging, you must see the queen mother before I see Your Majesty, but not too much in advance."

Jiang Xuan was only subconsciously stunned after hearing this, he didn't know what the hell his master was doing.

But he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to strictly follow what the master said.

You must know that his Jiang Zheng's ability and his official position are all given by this master who is like a master and a father, even if he wants to jump the Qinhuai River, he can only do it, it's that simple!

Under the sun,

He was not wearing armor, but the commander of the brocade guard in brocade clothes was Mao Xiang, and walked quickly towards the imperial study.

And Jiang Xuan, the deputy commander of the brocade guard, who was wearing standard brocade clothes and gold armor, went all the way to the Qianqing Palace where Queen Ma was located.

As Mao Xiang arranged, Jiang Zhen jogged while calculating in his mind the distance between the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Study and the Qianqing Palace.

After estimating the distance, he began to estimate the difference in speed between him and Mao Xiang.

After estimating all this, he finally adjusted his jogging speed, and really rushed to the gate of the Qianqing Palace before Mao Xiang rushed to the imperial study.

"Go and call Lan'er out!"

The little eunuch on duty at the gate of the Qianqing Palace was naturally running fast.

And this palace maid named Lan'er is actually Queen Ma's personal palace maid, and she is also Jiang Xuan's underground love interest.

It's just that after a simple and secret handover, Jiang Zhen quickly left this place, and he couldn't stay for a long time.

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, Queen Ma was carefully reading the handwritten letter written by Mao Xiang to her.

This letter did not pay attention to any official language, and with his Mao Xiang's literacy of words, he could not write the kind of words that chewed on words.

But it is often this kind of vernacular text, which can most intuitively explain the seriousness of the situation!

Mao Xiang used concise language to let Queen Ma know that Ye Qing would beat the emperor's nephew Zhu Huan when he landed on the shore, arrest the emperor's brother Zhu Liujiu when he went ashore, and thoroughly investigate the officials of the whole mansion when he returned to the house, and even cut the matter first.

After explaining these things that Ye Qing did, he also said other things.

Later in the letter: "Queen Qiyu, according to the information in the hands of my Jinyi Guard, Zhu Huan did have a lot of lawlessness in Ningbo, and we even have some evidence of crimes. ”

"Not only do ministers know this, but even Hu Xiang and they know more or less, but neither the minister nor Hu Xiang has the courage to poke this matter out."

"The reason why the minister dared to tell the truth to Niangniang was because he didn't want Lord Ye to die in vain!"

"Lord Ye is so desperate to ask for the people's life, he is a good official, and he should not die under the wrath of His Majesty!"

"The minister has gone to the imperial study to report this matter, but the minister can't say that the minister knew in advance, and the minister prays that Niangniang will come to the imperial study to persuade Your Majesty!"

“.”

Not bad

This was the method that Mao Xiang thought of, and it was the only thing he could do for Ye Qing.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he must tell Zhu Yuanzhang what Ye Qing has done, which is his duty.

In his opinion, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, he would definitely be furious, as long as Queen Ma did not arrive in time, he Ye Qing would definitely die without a place to be buried.

Not to mention whether Zhu Yuanzhang believes that Zhu Huan will do these things without him, just relying on Ye Qing's strong first cut and then play, it is enough for him to die eighteen times.

And there is also a reason why he is sure that Queen Ma will definitely help with this.

To put it mildly, Zhu Liujiu and Zhu Huan's father and son are his Zhu Yuanzhang relationship, and they have nothing to do with her Queen Ma at all.

For her Queen Ma, this so-called royal brother and righteous son can be regarded as imposed on her by Zhu Yuanzhang, or it can be regarded as the way of 'loving the house and Wu' as his wife.

But judging from Queen Ma's heart, she doesn't take them too seriously!

This is like a wife from a beautiful background, out of the quality of being a wife, on the surface, she will also be good to her husband's relatives who are born with mud legs.

But that's just for the sake of being a wife!

Therefore,

Mao Xiang is completely sure that even if ten Zhu Huan and ten Zhu Liujiu are added, they can't compare to Ye Qing's weight in Queen Ma's mind.

In fact, just as Mao Xiang expected, after reading the letter, although Queen Ma had a look of shock in her eyes, she did not have heartache.

She didn't feel anything other than being shocked and having a headache because of Ye Qing's lifeless style.

Even in her deep gaze, there was some 'expected' color.

Queen Ma just gently took off the lampshade, and while lighting the letter, she also secretly said in her heart: "The rich and the rich can't be lewd, the poor can't be moved, and the mighty can't be bent, but fifteen words are simple!" ”

"But how many people have really done it?"

"Your Majesty, your biggest mistake is to firmly believe that if you can do it, all the people of your Zhu family can do it!"

"There are too many Zhu family members who follow you to get naked, and there are always a few-stirring sticks, which is normal!"

Thinking of this, Queen Ma immediately looked in the direction of Ningbo Mansion, and her eyes had an obvious look of resentment.

Queen Ma at this moment is like a big sister next door who is sulky by her troublemaker brother!

In the next moment, Queen Ma greeted Lan'er, took a pot of health tea, and went to the imperial study with her.

At this moment, outside the gate of the imperial study, the little eunuchs hiding on both sides, for fear of being scratched by flying debris!

Jingdezhen's tribute porcelain, smashed out one by one!

The Yanmen glazed products that sell expensive here are also smashed out one by one!

Judging from the size of the fragments and the distance of the splash, Zhu Yuanzhang used much more force when he smashed the Yanmen glazed products than when he smashed the Jingdezhen tribute porcelain!

"Bastard!"

"He's a bastard with no father!"

“.”

Under the golden roof of the coiled dragon in the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was tired, scolded Ye Qing while panting, scolding him so much that he was wounded by Mr. on the top of his head, and pus flowed from the soles of his feet.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been angry and red-faced, really can't find the words to scold Ye Qing.

He immediately said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Mao Xiang, you take your people and go and tie him back to us." ”

"The imperial brother and imperial nephew who wronged me for no reason, and dared to beat my imperial nephew violently and arrest my imperial brother, he is really bold!"

"Return the imperial license, cut first and then play, which bastard allowed him to cut first and then play?"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang had already had monstrous murderous intent, and it was enough to see from the fact that he suddenly changed his name to 'I' that he had really made up his mind to kill Ye Qing.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang, who was still kneeling there, and immediately turned red.

He slapped the table fiercely and said loudly, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

Mao Xiang hurriedly got up to receive the order and left, and at the same time, he also secretly said in his heart: "Queen Mother, why haven't you come yet!" ”

Just when Mao Xiang secretly called, Queen Ma and Lan'er, who was holding health tea, came to the imperial study.

Queen Ma and Mao Xiang didn't have any eye contact, as if there was no such thing at all, Mao Xiang just bowed to Queen Ma and then left decisively.

"Wait!"

"Mao Xiang, you wait outside first, and close the door to the palace."

While Mao Xiang laughed secretly in his heart, he immediately acted in strict accordance with the queen's decree.

After the door of the imperial study was closed, Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously moved his butt back, then straightened his waist and tidied up his collar.

He raised his head and saw Queen Ma no longer blushing and thick-necked, and said very strongly: "Sister, why do you keep running this way?" ”

"No matter what you say today, let's, no, I've made up my mind, I'm going to kill this brute who slandered the emperor!"

"Don't think that I can't guess what he thinks, he just wants to use the heads of the emperor's relatives to quickly establish his prestige in Ningbo."

"In order to establish his prestige, he dared to slander my imperial brother and imperial nephew!"

"Not only that, but he also took chicken feathers as an arrow, and what else did he say about the imperial power concession, cut first and then play?"

"Which bastard allowed him to cut first and then play?"

Queen Ma was not angry with Zhu Yuanzhang, but said calmly: "You personally wrote the holy decree and established the 'Ningbo Special Executive Government', what kind of special law, he has the final say!" ”

"You."

Zhu Yuanzhang pouted and said, "For so long a day, we are the bastards?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing at himself and said: "Yes, we are the bastards with no eyes, otherwise, how could we follow his way and set up a 'Ningbo Special Government'!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more sure of his conjecture.

In his opinion, as early as when Ye Qing proposed the establishment of the 'Ningbo Special Government', he had made up his mind to use other people's heads to establish prestige.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but secretly boast that he Ye Qing was a person who did great things, and he was even more ruthless than him Zhu Yuanzhang.

And at this moment,

Queen Ma didn't agree with his words at all, but just said to herself: "I calculated outside the door just now, you smashed a total of four pieces of Jingdezhen tribute porcelain, six pieces of top-grade Yanmen glass, a total of 20,000 yuan!" ”

"The 20,000 yuan is deducted from your children's money, the prince is the eldest brother, 4,000 yuan is deducted, and the other children are equally shared, and it will also be counted in the mother's womb!"

"They don't have a salary, so they deduct the pregnant concubine's income!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes immediately widened.

It can be said that he Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless to people, it can also be said that he unloads the mill and kills donkeys, and it can even be said that he is cheap, but it can never be said that he is not a good father!

Even if all the emperors in history are compared, he Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely the 'first good father'!

Li Shimin, who has the ability to command and fight in military command, if he is better than Zhu Yuanzhang as a father, he will definitely be trampled under his feet!

In Queen Ma's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said with a painful expression: "Sister, how can you treat them badly?" ”

"Whether it's your own or not, I have to call you the queen mother, don't you?"

Queen Ma said expressionlessly: "This is called the repayment of the father's debt to the son, this is no problem!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking, but the pain on his face lingered.

Finally, Queen Ma said earnestly: "Chongba, haven't you found out what your problem is?" ”

"You love the people of your old Zhu family so much that you have lost your basic judgment ability in this matter, and you will not think about them in the bad way at all."

“.”

At this time in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say that it was safe to listen to persuasion, and he should listen to half of the persuasion.

But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang directly took out his tickling jade Ruyi, and he pointed at Queen Ma and warned: "Ma Xiuying, we thought you were the most virtuous woman in the world, you disappointed us too much." ”

"Miss Ma, we know that you look down on our mud-legged relatives from the bottom of your heart."

"In your eyes, they are so unbearable?"

"Once they have power, they will be consumed by profit, and they will slap us Zhu Yuanzhang in the face with practical actions?"

"Sister, we warned you, the harem will never interfere in politics, if you are obsessed again, we will give you away."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to speak and stopped, but behind the fierce gaze, he was full of unbearable expression, and his hand holding the jade ruyi and pointing at Queen Ma also trembled.

In the next moment, Queen Ma, who was hazy with tears in her eyes, stood up all of a sudden.

Queen Ma raised her head and said loudly: "What do you think?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding Yu Ruyi immediately put it down, and subconsciously took a step back.

In this way, Queen Ma took a step further, and he took a step back until his eyes dodged and no longer looked directly into Queen Ma's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Queen Ma said solemnly: "Don't you just want to seal my Qianqing Palace, you have sealed it!" ”

After Queen Ma said this, she breathed a long sigh of relief and tried to calm herself as much as possible.

She said in a slightly slower tone: "Chongba, let me put it bluntly with you, since I became the queen, I have not only prepared you to seal the palace, but also prepared for you to be abolished." ”

"But before you close the palace and abolish it, as long as I see that you are wrong, I will never swallow my anger, I must say it."

"Also, I'm not one of those sinners under your knife who has to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy before dying!"

"As soon as the holy decree after you closed the palace and abolished it, I will kneel down and thank the Holy Grace, and then go to the Taimiao Temple to commit suicide!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately turned his head and stared at Queen Ma with wide eyes, and his brain was as if he had been struck by lightning.

Queen Ma just blinked her eyes, forcibly held back her tears and said: "I won't hate you, because this is the queen's life, since I can afford this queen, I will accept this life!" ”

Speaking of this, Queen Ma couldn't hold back anymore and shed tears directly.

She snatched Zhu Yuanzhang's jade Ruyi and said, "You can kill me, but don't point this thing at me, I don't itch." ”

As soon as the words fell, Queen Ma immediately smashed Yu Ruyi, and then said with a heartache: "Use back your wooden one, it's stronger." ”

As she spoke, Queen Ma turned around decisively, but when she walked to the door, her chest suddenly felt tight.

It's just that she suddenly dizzy, and the scene of holding the doorpost with her hand was not seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was facing away from her.

Under the golden roof of the dragon, the husband and wife spoke with their backs to their backs for the first time.

After Queen Ma relieved herself, she faced the door and said: "Heavy eight, the dragon gives birth to nine sons and has its own strengths and weaknesses, even if it is a child born to me Ma Xiuying in October, I don't dare to guarantee that everyone will become talented, even if there is a bastard, it is normal!" ”

"I have never looked down on your relatives and fellow villagers, you are indeed from a farmer, I am indeed from the eldest lady, but I am also your wife."

"From the day I married you, I was your wife!"

"You can say I don't like them, but you must not slander me for looking down on them, I have always been good to them because of you!"

"Kuang Heng, who chiseled the wall and borrowed light, finally became a big corrupt official, didn't he?"

"Is it true that Zhu Huan's father and son have no possibility of becoming bad?"

"Don't say it's them, even if it's Ye Qing, there is a possibility that they will become bad in the future, right?"

"If Zhu Huan's father and son are indeed guilty, then he, Ye Qing, is asking for his life for the people, and he should be rewarded!"

"If Zhu Huan's father and son are wronged, then he, Ye Qing, as you said, is going to take their heads and be punished!"

"It's so close, how long can it take to check it out in person?"

"I just hope you don't be partial from the bottom of your heart because their surname is Zhu!"

"I only hope that my husband has no regrets at the time!"

As soon as the words fell, Queen Ma suddenly crossed the threshold and returned to her Qianqing Palace.

Under the golden roof of the imperial study,

After Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hear Queen Ma's footsteps, he picked up the fragment of Jade Ruyi, sat on the ground and cried alone.

It took a while for him to regain his composure.

"Come, preach!".
