Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 315: Escorted back to the capital, why not Queen Ma herself? (Please subscribe!!)

"When the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. You have said this yourself, but it is the boy Ouyang who truly practices this rule."

"In my opinion, Ouyang did a very good job in taking charge of the clan's mansion in his first battle."

"In addition, regarding Biao'er's matter, I also think Ouyang handled it well. No matter what his identity is, Biao'er should not interfere with the affairs of the clan. Fortunately, this matter has not been made public and only a few people know about it. It won’t have much impact on Biao’er’s prestige.”

"That's all I want to say, and the rest." Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Chongba, you are the emperor. You make your own decisions, and I will not interfere."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already been convinced by Empress Ma, especially the last sentence, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very proud, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, "My sister's analysis makes sense. In fact, we also know these, but they are just things that boy Ouyang Lun did. It’s so irritating, it made us lose our minds for a while!”

Empress Ma nodded, "Chongba, this kid Ouyang is free and easy-going and sincere in his treatment of others. In the past, he treated you with all his heart, but finally returned to the capital with great difficulty. Within a few days of his good life, he was dragged to the Tai Chi Hall by you. After all the warnings and threats, everyone is still angry. I advise you to find some time to sit down and have a good chat with Ouyang. You are our son-in-law after all. If you talk about it, maybe nothing will happen."

The corner of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, "Sister, you also know Ouyang Lun's character. As long as you give him three points of color, he will open a big dyeing workshop for you. He has achieved success at a young age, and his achievements are better than those of Han Huo Qubing is not weak at all. At a young age, Huo Qubing sealed the wolf in Xu, drank the vast sea with his horse, rode his horse to the east to win, and captured the Japanese king alive. There are many other achievements that I cannot list one by one. If I leave him alone again, then what will happen to him? How can this be done!”

"So we can not hold him responsible this time, but we will never praise him, let alone see him. As for the heart-to-heart talk, we'll have to wait."

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang still had another concern. Ouyang Lun was obviously angry now. If the two of them met, and Ouyang Lun pointed at his nose and yelled, would he kill him or not?

So now, the safest way is to leave Ouyang Lun alone, find something for him to do, and continue to hone his character.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Empress Ma did not insist anymore, "Chongba, now that I have an idea about this matter, I won't say more, but it is better for you and Ouyang to have a heart-to-heart talk alone sooner rather than later. After all, there are many times. The misunderstandings are accumulating and the cracks are getting bigger and bigger. Ouyang is no longer the No. 1 pick with no background six years ago."

"I know, I know." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "If this kid doesn't have some ability, can we allow him to return to the capital and allow him to hold a new wedding with Anqing?"

"Sister, although it's hard for us to meet Ouyang Lun, you can!"

"Ouyang Lun has always respected you. As long as you come to comfort him, this kid will definitely not cause trouble."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Empress Ma smiled angrily, "Well, Zhu Chongba, you want me to be your lobbyist!"

"Sister, you are the most suitable person we can think of!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "You don't want to see Ouyang Lun do anything more extreme, so be killed by us!"

Queen Ma thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay to let me be a lobbyist, but I can't guarantee that this kid Ouyang will listen to me."

"As long as you go, sister!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again, "In this way, our next decree is for Ouyang Lun to bring Fan'er back to the capital. You can talk about it when the time comes, and we will try to handle this matter perfectly! "

"it is good!"

The news that Jin King Zhu Fan was escorted back to the capital soon spread to Taiyuan, Shanxi.

After hearing this news, the three Shanxi chief officials Wang Yuan, Zheng Hewen, and Wu Kui were the happiest.

These days, they spent their time in worry and fear.

In order to see Ouyang Lun and King Jin off, the three of them led Shanxi provincial officials to wait outside Taiyuan City early.

Soon, Ouyang Lun's motorcade and the prison car escorting King Jin slowly walked out of Taiyuan City.

Seeing King Zhu Fan of Jin being imprisoned in the prison car, Wang Yuan and the others felt their scalps go numb!

Ouyang Lun is the only ruthless person who dares to treat the Prince of Ming Dynasty like this. Fortunately, this ruthless person is about to leave Shanxi and will also take Prince Jin away. Good times for the three of them are finally coming.

"Congratulations to my consort!"

Wang Yuan led the officials to salute Ouyang Lun in the carriage, and his lips were almost crooked with a smile.

Ouyang Lun opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "The Chief Envoy Wang, the Supervisor Envoy Zheng, the Commander Wu Du, the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree asked me to tell you three. The emperor also asked you three to return to Beijing to report on your work. It just so happened that I also wanted to Let’s go back to the capital, how about we come together?”

Ah!

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Wang Yuan and the others were completely dumbfounded, but this kind of thing was definitely true. After being stunned for a moment, the three of them could only board the carriage and return to Beijing with Ouyang Lun.

A few days later.

Ouyang Lun and his party returned to the capital.

Rumors spread all of a sudden.

"Big news! Big news! Prince Consort Ouyang Lun escorts the King of Jin back to Beijing!"

"Impossible! Dare the consort to capture the prince?"

"I didn't believe it before, but Prince Jin was imprisoned in a prison car and dragged into the capital. It is said that he is now being imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion Prison."

"There is another news. For this matter, the Queen went to the clan mansion in person!"

"Hiss—the Queen and the Queen are out!"

"I wonder what your Majesty's attitude is?"

"What attitude? You are stupid! If His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Prince Consort, it will not be the Queen who takes action, but His Majesty himself."

"It seems that the Prince Consort holds an unusual place in the heart of Your Majesty and the Queen!"

Royal news has always been the focus of attention of officials and common people. Ouyang Lun captured Jin King Zhu Fan and was still safe and sound, which is enough to reflect Ouyang Lun's status among the royal family members.

But we still have to see how the Queen and Ouyang Lun talk about it.

Almost all the forces in the capital focused their attention on the Zongren Mansion.

After returning to the capital, Ouyang Lun asked Princess Anqing, Tang Miaomiao, and Xu Miaoyun to go back first. He took Jin Wang Zhu Fang back to the clan mansion.

"Sir, we really showed off our faces this time!"

Zhu Wenhai said with great excitement.

"Didn't I just arrest Prince Jin? I'll see how happy you are."

Ouyang Lun said lightly.

"Sir, no! I have been working in this sect for so many years, but this is definitely the first time I have felt so happy!"

"When the princes took control of the clan's mansion before, those of us who worked in the clan's mansion were prosperous, but we had no sense of accomplishment. When others were respectful to us, it was only for the sake of the princes, so the princes If you go to become a feudal lord, our sect will become the Qingshui Yamen that no one cares about!"

"Those royal family members even treat our clan as their slaves. They come to their door for many trivial matters. Not to mention how aggrieved those of us in the clan are."

"But when we escorted King Jin back to the capital, everything changed!"

Listening to Zhu Wenhai's excited words, Ouyang Lun became quite curious, "Tell me what has changed." "The first one is of course the way others look at us!" Zhu Wenhai's voice increased, "Before, even in the palace, even if The eunuchs and maids in the cold palace all looked down on us, but now, when I walk in the palace, the guards, eunuchs, and maids all look at me respectfully, and they have to call me Master Zhu!"

"If you go to other yamen to do things, they will be done immediately without any delay!"

"The second is that many members of the royal family have made mistakes before. Our family office sent official documents to question them. As a result, these official documents fell into the sea and no one responded at all. In the past two days, more and more official documents have been responded to. What is written on it is all the repentance of these royal clan members for their mistakes and their promises not to do it again. Some even came to the clan’s mansion in person to confess their mistakes, pay fines, etc.!”

"Sir, now the authority of our clan has been truly established, and it all depends on you!"

With that said, Zhu Wenhai knelt down and kowtowed several times to Ouyang Lun excitedly.

"Listening to what you said, it does have a lot of benefits." Ouyang Lun nodded, "This is just the first shot, it will only get better in the future!"

"The Zongren Mansion is very short of manpower now, and it's not a problem to always borrow people from everywhere. You draw up a list. Except for Zongren Ling, Zongzheng, and Zongren, for the rest, you take the list and go to the officials. Ministry, let the Ministry of Personnel make arrangements as soon as possible. Of course, the people arranged by the Ministry of Personnel must be screened. Our clan’s mansion does not have all the crooked melons and dates!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Wenhai nodded excitedly, and then went down to prepare.

After arranging these things, Ouyang Lun planned to go back from get off work.

But at this moment, a voice came from outside the clan's mansion.

"The Queen is here!"

Hearing this, Zhu Wenhai was startled, "Sir, it's Empress Liang who is here!"

"Let's go out to greet him quickly. If we delay, it will be a great crime of disrespect!"

Just when Zhu Wenhai stood up, Queen Ma had already walked in accompanied by the palace maid.

Hearing the words "Empress", Ouyang Lun's heart wavered. He raised his head and looked towards the door, and happened to see a familiar figure.

Queen Ma also looked at Ouyang Lun.

In an instant, the two looked at each other, everything seemed so familiar yet a little strange.

After a moment, Ouyang Lun spoke first, "I don't know whether I should call you aunt, mother-in-law, or the queen!"

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Queen Ma smiled lightly and said, "Ouyang, my dear son-in-law, we haven't seen you for a long time."

Ouyang Lun nodded, "It's been a long time indeed."

"Ouyang, I apologize to you for hiding my true identity from you." Queen Ma said seriously.

Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "Queen and mother-in-law, please don't blame yourself too much. You are not the mastermind."

"Are you feeling well? Can you keep using the medicines and exercise equipment I've given you?"

Queen Ma nodded, "Both the medicine and the exercise equipment are as you said. My body has recovered very well. It's all thanks to you!"

"I feel relieved to see you look good, Queen Mother-in-law."

Ouyang Lun said sincerely.

"Queen's mother-in-law, please come inside!"

Ouyang Lun made a gesture of invitation.

"it is good."

Empress Ma nodded, and then followed Ouyang Lun to the backyard of the Zongren Mansion. When she saw that the original wasteland had turned into a three-story villa and a man-made lake, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted come over.

"Xian son-in-law, you are good at living."

"The queen's mother-in-law has been rewarded. She has had too many hard times before, so naturally she doesn't want to wrong herself, so she asked someone to clean up this empty space." Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of rooms in this villa. If the queen's mother-in-law doesn't dislike it, , you can also come over to play from time to time, and my son-in-law plans to bring Anqing and the others over as well."

"Okay, I'll come over when the three girls Anqing, Miaomiao and Miaoyun arrive."

Queen Ma did not refuse.

The two chatted and walked, and finally stopped in a pavilion next to the lake.

Queen Ma suddenly sighed, "Ouyang, do you still remember the first time we met?"

Ouyang Lun nodded, "Of course I remember. At that time, my son-in-law was still the magistrate of Kaiping County. When you came to the county government office to find me, there was also a lake and pavilion in the yard at that time!"

"That's right." Queen Ma nodded, "What impressed me the most was the grilled fish you grilled. It tasted amazing!"

"As time goes by, you have grown from a small tree to a towering tree, but I have grown old."

Hearing Queen Ma's late words, Ouyang Lun said quickly: "Life is a state of mind. As long as the state of mind is good, age is not a problem."

"The queen mother-in-law would worry less and please herself more, wouldn't life be more interesting?"

Hearing this, Queen Ma's eyes lit up, and then she smiled, "I came to comfort you, but it was you who persuaded me instead. It seems that you are stronger than His Majesty and I thought."

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun pursed his lips and muttered: "If I hadn't been strong in my heart, I would have broken my guard in the Tai Chi Palace that day, and I would still have to wait until today."

"By the way, the queen's mother-in-law, you shouldn't just be here today to catch up with me."

Empress Ma also took a detour and said directly: "I think your worthy son-in-law also knows why I'm here. I just want to ask, what do you plan to do with King Jin?"

"Since the queen's mother-in-law asked, the son-in-law did not hide it. Now I am the Zongzheng of the clan, and it is my responsibility to manage the royal clan. Like King Jin, who just relies on himself as a vassal king to act recklessly and oppress the people in the fiefdom. This is a very serious matter, and if it is not dealt with seriously, sooner or later the people will be alienated from the Ming Dynasty!"

"The King of Jin, who is my third uncle, has a domineering, blind and arrogant character. He also needs to be a good steward, know how to care for the people, be modest and prudent, in order to be a suitable vassal king, he must suffer a lot, and then he can be a suitable vassal king." Can make a difference!"

"So I plan to lock him up for a few more days, and at the same time teach and reform him during this time!"

"But I can guarantee that Prince Jin will never be in danger of his life."

Empress Ma came today and never thought about asking Ouyang Lun to let Jin Wang Zhu Fan go, so after listening to Ouyang Lun's thoughts, she nodded slowly, "Just follow the method of a good son-in-law, but... please ask a good son-in-law to do it." Be gentle, Fan'er is my son after all."
