King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 467 Unexpected
Empress Yi'an was angry and annoyed, and extremely disappointed in him!
"Sister-in-law!" she called out. Empress Zhou showed her little girl attitude, smiling, and said carefully: "Sister-in-law, don't you realize that practicing is not a ridiculous thing?"

When Empress Yi'an heard this, she was immediately furious: "This is impossible! Absolutely not. All the men of the Zhu clan died because of cultivation. Don't you know that?"

Queen Zhou did not speak any more. She knew very well what Queen Yi'an said. Moreover, Queen Yi'an's father abandoned his wife and son in order to become a god, leaving her alone since childhood!
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came. Listening to her leisurely footsteps and her wild singing, she knew that this emperor was Zhu Youjian.

He walked in with a smile, but saw Queen Zhou sitting in the hall with a sad look on her face.

Zhu Youjian then said to Empress Zhou: "My husband, do you think what I said is true? Is it good?"

Queen Zhou remained calm, pointed behind her, stretched out a soft finger in front of Zhu Youjian, and pinched his ear.

"Ouch!" Zhu Youjian shouted, turned around and ran: "Sister-in-law!"

Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Youjian's pleading look and then let go of his hand: "You really know how to do it. Ah, you are the emperor, why can't you change into a yellow dress?"

Zhu Youjian was dressed in a white suit with sleeves as elegant as a fairy, holding a long sword and wearing a hat.

Compared to those people wearing yellow clothes, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Tan prefer to wear simple clothes and look very casual.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? I am the king of a country, the emperor, and I can't wear clothes?" Zhu Youjian covered his ears, looking aggrieved.

Empress Zhang's face looked a little ugly, but looking at the white clothes on Zhu Youjian, she felt that they looked familiar and asked, "What is this?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a moment and said, "I took this dress out from under a stone in the alchemy room. It must have been left by the great-great-grandfather of His Majesty Jiajing. I don't like green clothes very much, but I like white clothes more, so I took it with me!"

"I never thought that there would be such a person in our Zhu family! I really thought that Emperor Jiajing was a crazy cultivator."

……

On the other side, Zhu Youjian had a bohemian look on his face. Empress Zhang's expression became more and more gloomy. After a while, she turned away in anger.

There were many emperors who practiced Taoism in Chinese history, especially in the Ming Dynasty, when there were countless emperors who practiced Taoism.

This started with Zhu Di and continued to Zhu Youjian's father Zhu Changluo.

Emperors of all dynasties were keen on practicing and built Taoist temples one after another! Not only can you not enter the court, but it will also seriously damage the vitality of the country!
She was very disappointed with Zhu Youjian. Very disappointed!
"Your Majesty! Cining Palace, come to me whenever you have time!"

Zhu Youjian watched Empress Zhang leave, his heart was bewildered and his expression became a little dazed.

Xiao Yunyan complained: "The emperor did this for you, and now even the queen is scolding you!"

Xiao Yunyan looked very disappointed and obviously wanted to seek justice for Queen Zhou!

Zhu Youjian said sarcastically: "Did that lady get scolded by that lady?"

Xiao Yunyan stammered something, but couldn't say anything.

Zhu Youjian looked back and saw Queen Zhou wearing her clothes.

He stretched out one hand, put his arm around Empress Zhou's slender waist, and held her tighter:
"My Lady Queen, why don't we practice together? We will be together forever, ascend to heaven together, and no longer care about worldly disputes."

Queen Zhou's lips trembled slightly:

"Your Majesty, although cultivation is good, as the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, we should put national interests as our top priority!"

Zhu Youjian sighed and said:
"Sometimes, I really want to ignore the secular world and just lie down to cultivate my immortality!"

These words were somewhat meaningful. Empress Zhou put down the work in her hands, turned around, and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head and fell on the chair, just like Ge You, squinting his eyes and thinking:
"Don't worry! I'm just a little sad!"

Queen Zhou didn't say much, she just used the comb in her hand to comb Zhu Youjian's hair.

"Her Majesty has always been like this? Although she didn't say it, I also understand that she has her reasons!"

Queen Zhou's gentle voice reached her ears, making her feel her hair tingle.

Zhu Youjian lay on the ground for a long time before he stood up:
"Then I'll go first. I think my sister-in-law is going to scold me!"

A true hero has a broad mind and a broad mind, a heart that can tolerate the universe, and a will that can swallow the sky.
Zhu Youjian stood in the Cining Palace, pondered for a moment, and then went to the main hall.

Empress Yi'an had already received the news of Zhu Youjian's return, so she was waiting in the palace early.

Empress Zhang originally wanted to pay a visit to Saint Ann, but seeing that Zhu Youjian was alone with Wang Chengen, she felt a little rude.

Zhu Youjian looked embarrassed and said to the queen: "Sister-in-law, why are you unhappy?"

Empress Zhang Yan did not answer, but went into the inner room. Under the protection of a group of guards, the two entered the main hall and sat down.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here."

Empress Zhang said: "That's natural.

Zhu Youjian observed Zhang Yan carefully. After not seeing her for a few days, she seemed to have lost some weight.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhu Youjian carefully and found that although his face was a little pale, he had obviously lost a lot of weight.

"sister in law!"……"

"Are you Zhu Youjian?"

The two of them spoke at the same time, making Zhu Youjian dare not speak.

Empress Zhang sighed and slightly opened her red lips, which made her look even more charming.

"I ignored you these days, are you stupid?"

"I don't care about those Taoists or your practice, but you dragged Queen Zhou into this? What do you want to do?"

"Emperor, you are now the age of an elephant, and you are only three years away from adulthood. You cannot act like a child and act capriciously."

Zhu Youjian liked Empress Zhang's chattering very much. It had been a long time since anyone had treated him like a child. Now, he could only feel a little warmth from Empress Zhang.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't come yet. I will definitely get better and better!"

Zhu Youjian laughed from the bottom of his heart. Empress Zhou suppressed her anger and said, "You are really becoming more and more sensible. You are really becoming more and more naive!"

"And Sister Zhou, how could I let you act so crazy!"

……

Zhu Youjian remained silent and let Empress Zhang continue speaking.

He was about to speak only when Empress Zhang's red lips closed, but Empress Zhang had already continued speaking.

"I came here this time to ask the emperor to choose a new wife."

"This..." Chen Xiaobei was slightly stunned.

Zhu Youjian hesitated to speak.

Empress Zhang also asked: "Why? Are you still worried that Zhou Sigu will not agree?"

"No!" Zhu Youjian asked, "Why do you want me to choose another concubine?"

"What do you think?" Empress Zhang slammed the table in anger.

"It's fine if you're injured, but you're dragging the queen into this? Hmm? You have no children, and I'm worried that once you're gone, there will be no one left in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youjian was completely desperate. He finally understood that he was really anxious to give birth to a child for him to continue his bloodline!
Feudalism! That's feudalism!

Doesn't that mean that he has to take his life into his own hands? Zhu Youjian felt humiliated, as if it was a forced date.

The most important thing is that he had too many wives, which was a great hindrance to his cultivation.

Could it be possible that he could practice with her?
Isn’t this too much?
It seems possible...

"I'll think about it carefully." "..."

Zhu Youjian's face changed, and he said, "Sister-in-law, this matter is not so easy. Moreover, the world is in chaos now, and we are trapped both internally and externally. I..."

"How dare you say that? You've been in the court for the past few months!"

Empress Zhang was killed with one sword, leaving Zhu Youjian no room for rebuttal.

"OK!"……"

Zhu Youjian's words made Empress Zhang even more angry: "You are not a child anymore. When your brother was your age, even a child could walk!"

As she spoke, Empress Zhang thought of the son she had with the late emperor, who died at a young age, and her expression became increasingly solemn.

Damn!

Zhu Youjian looked embarrassed. When he looked up, he saw that Empress Zhang's face looked unhappy.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Zhu Youjian asked in confusion, and then changed the subject.

"Yes!"

At this point, Empress Zhang showed an embarrassment on her face, and there was a hint of resentment between her brows.

"Sister-in-law, what happened to you in front of me?"

Zhang Yan was startled, then her face turned angry: "I think there is something wrong with the cause of your brother's death!"

Every word Zhang Yan said made the atmosphere tense. Zhu Youjian hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Sister-in-law thinks so too? I think so too!"

The two of them looked at each other, their eyes fixed, and they said almost at the same time: "Wei Zhongxian!"

Chen Fan told him everything he found in the box. It was a white robe that Zhu Youxiao had used before.

Wearing a white robe, he wanders around the world just to do justice.

"In that case, you still have the dream of traveling around the world!" Empress Zhang was slightly stunned. As Zhu Youxiao's wife, she had naturally heard what Zhu Youxiao said, that men should go out and explore the world instead of staying in this desolate palace.

Such things don't happen often, so Zhang Yan didn't think much about it.

After Zhu Youxiao proclaimed himself emperor, he never mentioned this matter again.

Empress Zhang's face turned very ugly. Zhu Youjian said, "Neither of these two clothes is the most important. The most important thing is not this dress!"

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he handed over a gift, which turned out to be a bottle of elixir.

"What is this?" Zhang Yan felt something strange, but still couldn't believe it.

"How could it be? Zhu Youxiao would definitely not do this. I know very well that he is simply incapable of practicing! He would never do such a ridiculous thing!"

Zhu Youjian sighed, it was indeed the case.

This bottle of medicine is hidden in this white robe.

"Where did you get it from?" Zhu Youjian didn't care whether Zhu Youxiao was an immortal or not. What he cared about was that he wanted to know where this pill came from.

This was a bottle of very strange medicine. Zhu Youjian took out the medicine and put it under his nose to smell it.

"What a strange smell, it's obviously fake."

Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but for a cultivator like Zhu Youjian who has already embarked on the path of cultivation, how could he not see the extraordinary nature of this pill!

When Zhu Youjian opened the treasure box, he treated it as a treasure. However, when he saw the color of the elixir, he knew that it was an extremely inferior waste pill.

"So, the late emperor was taken to practice cultivation by someone? Are they trying to poison the late emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, Empress Zhang's eyes became moist. She closed her eyes and thought deeply.

Time passed by minute by minute, and her mind was still a little dazed!
To be honest, he had never heard anyone talk about Zhu Youxiao's cultivation.

But at the end of his life, Zhu Youxiao still stayed with Wei Zhongxian, locked himself up, and soon fell ill.

Three months later, his condition worsened so much that he died not long after.

"So! Could it be Wei Zhongxian?"

Empress Zhang said subconsciously. Only this person is his suspect.

Zhu Youjian was startled. To be honest, he also had doubts about Wei Zhongxian. Logically speaking, Wei Zhongxian should not be here.

How could Wei Zhongxian personally get rid of the person behind him?

"Nine out of ten! I'll check right away!"

I really can't remember who else Zhu Youjian was talking about except Wei Zhongxian.

Since all the suspicion lies with Wei Zhongxian, if we want to find Wei Zhongxian, we must start with him.

If it was really Wei Zhongxian, it would be fine. But Zhu Youjian would kill him for the sake of his brother, and he must kill him!

There will be absolutely no mercy!

Empress Zhang frowned, and the maid Bai Zhu beside her said, "Princess, is that right?
"Your Majesty! I know the Queen! Wei Zhongxian once invited a Taoist to serve the late Emperor, and that Taoist claimed to be a powerful immortal cultivator!"

"Who?" a voice came from behind.

Bai Zhu thought for a moment and said, "This person seems to be a Taoist named You Yun!"

who? !
You Yunjian? Zhu Youjian had seen his name in his diary.

Interesting! Zhu Youjian asked Wang Chengen for advice, and then asked Shen Lian for advice.

As for You Yun, he is most likely the kind of person who deceives the world and steals fame.

……

Empress Zhang stood up and said, "I don't care who he is. If he dares to hurt my man, I will make him pay the price!"

At this moment, a scene that Zhu Youjian never expected appeared. Empress Zhang walked into her room holding a long knife!
"I'll chop him into minced meat right now! Wei Zhongxian!"

Zhu Youjian looked confused.

He couldn't remember how Empress Zhang could be so heroic. This, this was not like her style!
She only heard what her wife, Queen Zhang, said!
Beneath her gentle appearance, Wu Zetian hides her broad-mindedness and heroism. She understands that Queen Zhou is very interested in the political situation in the court and is very ambitious, but as a woman, she cannot exert her full strength.

……

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Zhu Youjian finally expressed his doubts.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Before Empress Zhang entered the palace, she was already a female hero in the martial arts world!
Witch? These two words suddenly flashed through Zhu Youjian's mind.

Zhu Youjian's mind was in a mess!
Of course he remembered.

Could it be that Empress Zhang was also a heroine in the past?

Zhu Youjian did lose some of his things.

This is the side effect left after he traveled through time.

He had the illusion of being transported to another world.

In a daze, he staggered and covered his head, feeling like his brain was about to explode.

"Are you okay, Your Majesty?" Empress Zhang put down the long sword in her hand and helped Zhu Youjian up.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "It's okay, I just didn't get a good night's sleep!"..."

Empress Zhang was both worried and complaining: "Your Majesty, please don't practice anymore. Your headache must be caused by your practice."

"If you keep hitting me like this, I'm scared."

Zhu Youjian played with the ball in his hand and looked at the scenery outside. There was no change.

After leaving the palace,

Zhu Youjian frowned. His headache was a chronic disease that would occur sometimes and not often.

He originally thought that these numbers would become smaller and smaller over time.

Later, he thought that practicing could stabilize his soul, but now it seems to be of no use.

Is he a cultivator? Self-healing?

Heading east, not far away, Zhu Youjian saw Lin Yi and Lin Yan. As expected, those two people came from the Cining Palace.

The two were still practicing happily. Zhu Youjian was very sad when he saw this scene and ignored them completely.

My head hurts! I'm so angry!
At this moment, the two Taoists stopped and dragged Zhu Youjian back.

"You are here? Senior Brother?" Lin Yan's voice was as arrogant as ever, which made Chen Fan very unhappy.

"Why do you look so unhappy? What's going on?" Lin Yi asked.

Their voices were odd, sounding like they were saying hello but sounding like they were mocking.

Zhu Youjian frowned and said, "I am the emperor, can you please not talk to me like that? Ouch!"

Zhu Youjian's face darkened, and he could no longer control his emotions. He said, "I'm angry! Do you know that if you say this to me, I will be angry!"

In the eyes of Lin Yi and Lin Yan, Zhu Youjian seemed to be a little different at this moment.

Zhu Youjian was always respectful to me and others on weekdays, so why would he be so polite to me and others? It was really outrageous!
Lin Yan relied on his status as a senior and said, "Do you understand? I am your senior!"

Senior? Are you kidding me? Lin Yan, when did you treat me as your junior sister?
As Zhu Youjian spoke, he drew the long sword from his waist and pulled the hilt in front of Lin Yan.

"what!"

Lin Yan shouted, and the two swords collided with each other, making crackling sounds and sparks flying.

Lin Yan's swordsmanship is steady and powerful, with his profound internal energy infused into it. Each sword is stronger than the last, and each one carries a fierce murderous intent.

Zhu Youjian's sword moves became more and more agile, and his sword skills became more and more magical. In Zhu Youjian's hands, it was even more mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult to resist and difficult to distinguish between offense and defense.

At the beginning, the two sides went back and forth.

"Okay! Fine! But where on earth did this fake sword technique come from? Looks like I have to teach you a lesson!"

Lin Yan shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand stabbed like a poisonous snake. Zhu Youjian grabbed the long sword and didn't care about Lin Ming's attack at all, allowing him to kill him.

After a few more moves, Lin Yan finally felt tired.

"Not bad! You have made great progress these days! But today, I will let you know what it means to be a senior brother!"

As he spoke, Lin Yan gathered all the spiritual energy in his body and threw the long sword into the air. Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard.

Lin Yan was already confident of victory. A bloodthirsty light flashed in Zhu Youjian's eyes. His eyes were red and he looked like a madman.

Lin Yan couldn't withstand the blow, and wave after wave of attacks blasted Lin Yan more than ten meters away.

This was something no one had expected or anticipated!
