Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 32 Who is he?
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he was struck by lightning.

My head was buzzing.

He really didn't expect that his sister could be so terrifying when she got serious!
The last time they had such a quarrel was because Empress Ma interfered in government affairs. Zhu Yuanzhang was already experiencing some unhappy things at the time.

Knowing that his sister was interfering in government affairs without permission, he immediately became furious.

But afterwards I realized that I seemed to have gone too far and could only squat there and cry like a child.

From then on, he realized that he could not live without a girl.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang allowed Empress Ma to make trouble without getting angry.

Now the other party wants him to promise something and swear to heaven.

If he broke his oath, his wife would not let him go even if she became a ghost. This made Zhu Yuanzhang tremble in his heart.

Without thinking, he nodded in response.

"Sister, let's make this clear first. Don't tell me just one thing. Even if it's ten or a hundred things, I'll agree to them all!"

Empress Ma knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's polite words were just casual remarks.

Not true.

"I don't care if you have ten or a hundred items behind you. I only care about this one thing."

Worried that the other party would not take her words to heart, Queen Ma solemnly mentioned it again.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment, and nodded immediately, looking very serious, with no intention of joking at all.

Queen Ma then spoke:
"Zhu Chongba, I don't care how many years you have been emperor, and I don't care how deep your desire for power is.

I tell you today, from now on, you are not allowed to use the same methods you use to tame the officials on Biao'er.

I already know what happened this morning. Did you say this to Biaoer in the study?

"You are not the emperor yet. When you become the emperor in the future, you can make your own decision."

After being reminded, Zhu Yuanzhang thought carefully and found that he seemed to have said such a sentence.

He hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat guilty, before nodding slowly.

"Yes! I was indeed impulsive this morning. Can we be more careful next time?"

"Sister, we know where the problem lies, and we will never say something like that to Biao'er again.

As for the officials' tricks, we don't need to focus on Biao'er. We were just confused for a moment."

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was obviously perfunctory.

This was a subconscious behavior that he himself was not even aware of.

Queen Ma did not intend to blame him for this.

Living in an environment of intrigue and deception for a long time will often lead to perfunctory behavior.

As an emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded by various demands every day.

If he didn't develop the habit of being perfunctory and agreed to everyone's request, wouldn't it be a mess?

However, Queen Ma did not pursue the matter too deeply at the moment.

Although the words of promise may sound perfunctory, they can at least make the other party aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Thinking this in her mind, Queen Ma had already figured out what words she should use to make the other party take her seriously from the bottom of their hearts.

Thinking that he had calmed his wife down, Zhu Yuanzhang then began to ask questions carefully.

"Sister, just now we heard you say that I smashed the sign with a stool and chased him with a sword, but I didn't do that, so please don't take it seriously."

Thinking of this huge misunderstanding, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

How can this thing that is made out of nothing be blamed on him?

But Empress Ma did not believe his explanation, which made Zhu Yuanzhang even more worried.

As long as his sister still believes in this dream, he will be in trouble in the future.

In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to continue explaining.

But Queen Ma interrupted him first.

"Okay, Chongba, do you think that everything I just told you was all nonsense?"

This one sentence directly blocked Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to speak, and he was hesitant to speak.

He thought to himself, isn't this just nonsense? It couldn't be more nonsense than nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was very magnanimous because he had to cooperate with the other party because of some false things, but Empress Ma was unyielding.

The current scene made Zhu Yuanzhang feel somewhat unhappy, but he was not in a position to say it out loud.

Seeing the other party's true thoughts, Queen Ma immediately spoke righteously and sternly, without any stage fright:

"I am not afraid to tell you that everything I just told you is true. You did hit Biao'er with a stool, and you chased Biao'er with a sword in front of all the ministers.

The reason is that you can't stand him giving orders in the court. To be more precise, you are not happy that his opinions are different from yours.

You, Emperor Zhu, want to kill people, and he wants to save people. You, Emperor Zhu, are so majestic and domineering.

Since you all like dictatorship, I can't understand why you want to establish this crown prince and why you still need ministers and officials.

In the end, do you make the final decision on your own in the Ming Dynasty court, or do we all discuss it together?"

A series of questions pierced Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Although the dynasty is a family name, it does not mean that the emperor has the final say in everything.

Otherwise, this dynasty would be very close to destruction.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not listen to the second half of the conversation, he only listened to the first half.

He thought hard but couldn't remember when he had hit his son with a stool, let alone a sword.

In his heart, Zhu Biao was the most satisfactory successor.

Since the founding of the country, he has been laying the groundwork for the succession to his son.

He is so impatient to let the other party ascend the throne that how could he chase and kill the other party with a sword in hand?

All in all, what Queen Ma said was nonsense to him.

"Girl, you are kidding me. When did I do such a thing? How come I have no memory of it at all?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt insecure and wondered if he was really too busy.
But no matter what he forgets, he will never forget something like this.

Queen Ma's eyes were calm and she was determined to tell the truth.

"Zhongba, don't think about it. These things will indeed happen, but not in the past, nor now, but in the future."

"In the future? Look, sister, you are joking again. We are not gods. How can we know what will happen in the future now?"

Although he didn't know why his wife suddenly acted like this, Zhu Yuanzhang followed her thoughts and did not refute.

But the next sentence instantly made him as alert as a wild beast.

Queen Ma said calmly: "Yes, we are not gods, but if I tell you that someone came from the future and he knows clearly what will happen in the future, what should you do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell into silence.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer felt as relaxed as before. The hair on his face suddenly became strong and vigorous, and his eyes seemed to be able to kill people.

However, this killing was not directed at Empress Ma, but at the "person" mentioned earlier.
