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

Chapter 35 Eat for a Lifetime
Kunning Palace study.

Upon learning that there was a man hidden in his harem, and a complete man at that, his wife personally stayed there and stayed for one night.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt wronged.

A pair of eyes surrounded by wrinkles gradually filled with moisture.

"Sister. You! How could you do this to me!

This harem has always been a forbidden area for many people, but you actually...actually let a complete man stay overnight in the harem!
I am the founding emperor. Where do you think I, the founding emperor, should be treated?"

The more he thought about Zhu Yuanzhang, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.

It seems like he is about to go crazy.

If Yang Chen appeared in front of him at this moment, no one would stop him.

He couldn't even guarantee what he would do.

But Empress Ma's words made him lose his temper on the spot.

"What? You have an opinion? Don't forget what you do.

You insulted Biao'er, treated your son the same way you treated your subjects, and then forced him to death!
I'm telling you, I'm not done with you in this matter! As long as I live one more day, I'll eat you up for the rest of my life!

What's wrong with me keeping him in the harem? If I don't keep him, will he be discovered by your Jinyiwei and reported to the police, and then secretly taken away by your people and imprisoned in the imperial prison, where he will be tortured to death?"

Empress Ma kept pointing at Zhu Yuanzhang and scolding him.

Old Zhu, who wanted to refute and explain himself, turned red and green.

He knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything.

Forcing his son to death himself, any father would find it impossible.

But the bloody evidence was right in front of him, and it was no use for him to deny it.

Therefore, he could only bow his head and endure the scolding. The reason was simple: the person who scolded him was Queen Ma, and that was enough.

"Wait a minute! Sister, what is Jinyiwei? There is no one under my command called Jinyiwei?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard these three words for the first time, he was completely confused.

He thought over and over again but couldn't figure out when he founded the Jinyiwei. Looking at his eyes, one big and one small, thinking hard, Queen Ma sighed casually.

"Okay, don't think about it. The reason why I know about this Jinyiwei is because Yang Chen revealed the information.

This Jinyiwei is the imperial guard department that you told me before, which will monitor the movements of all officials and only obey your orders.

It was re-established with talents selected from the Yiluansi and Gongweisi under your personal military commander's office."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already been planning this plan since the tenth year of Hongwu.

It’s just that too many things have happened over the years to interrupt it, and I simply don’t have the energy to devote all my attention to this aspect.

Queen Ma's words immediately perked him up.

He was specially ordered to run the Imperial Guards' Office, which was not only in charge of the imperial guards in the palace, but also the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Ceremonial Guards, which all belonged to this department.

And the leader was his confidant.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang assured that he had only told Empress Ma about it, and that he had only mentioned it briefly.

They had never talked much at all, but now, Queen Ma actually told him that someone knew exactly what he wanted to do in the future.

In this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt a sense of fear.

There are actually people in this world who can predict their own actions.

If the other party can do the same in other aspects, wouldn't it be easy to play with him?
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more determined he became to kill.

"Yang Chen. Who on earth is this person? Could it be that he really came from the future?"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's previous doubts about Yang Chen began to waver.

Although the Jinyiwei has not yet been officially established.

But these days he has begun to arrange people to try and radiate the personnel out.

In the imperial court, all first-rank officials, whether in office or retired, had their close relatives definitely being watched by Zhu Yuanzhang's people.

These people could be gardeners, servants, or guards.

Every high-ranking official has at least two Jinyiweis by his side, and these Jinyiweis are unaware of each other's existence.

The purpose is to achieve the best monitoring effect.

But now, Yang Chen could easily mention his organization which had not yet been officially ranked.

How could this not make Zhu Yuanzhang feel terrified!
"We must interrogate this boy to find out his background!"

After making plans in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang buried his thoughts deep in his heart.

Only then did he slightly submit to Empress Ma.

At the same time, noisy footsteps were heard outside the study in Kunning Palace.

There is also Zhu Biao's reminder.

"Yang Chen, when you meet my father later, you must not be too presumptuous. My father is a very serious person. You should answer whatever he asks you and remember the etiquette.

I know you don't like kneeling, but you must show some basic courtesy and don't let my father think you look down on him."

"Oh, Prince! I am not a three-year-old child. I believe that Your Majesty is a man of great ability.

Besides, I have never seen the emperor, so I can’t relax even if you ask me to.

But don't worry, I know what should and shouldn't be done."

The voice is clear and powerful, and you can tell that it belongs to a young and energetic person.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair, looking intimidating without being angry, slowly showing his majesty as an emperor.

Eyes fixed behind the screen.

Soon, Zhu Biao, Yang Chen and Zhu Di began to walk out in order.

"Your son, I pay my respects to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen."

The two brothers saluted as usual, only Yang Chen's reaction was a little slow, but he also bowed.

"People of later generations pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Keeping his eyes on Yang Chen, Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond.

Seeing this, it was Queen Ma who broke the deadlock.

"Biao'er, Di'er, you two should get up. Yang Chen, you too."

"Thank you, mother."

"Thank you, Queen."

After putting his hands away, the room fell into silence again. Yang Chen and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other.

"Is this person from the future? He has a nose, two eyes and a mouth. Apart from his short hair, he is almost the same as an ordinary person.

Could it be that he is a young monk who has returned to secular life from a temple?

Do you know some metaphysical skills and rely on your good luck to guess my situation, so you can trick my girl?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Either way, they think Yang Chen is a liar.

At the same time, Yang Chen also carefully observed Lao Zhu's appearance.

Zhu Yuanzhang is now over 50 years old, which is considered a long life in such a chaotic era.

In addition, after going through a lot of hardships over the years, not to mention some tiny scars on her face, wrinkles are inevitable.

Putting aside the dragon robe on the other person, Yang Chen believed that Zhu Yuanzhang looked like an old man with bright eyes.

I don't know why, but this pair of eyes kept staring at him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Both sides were silent for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang finally asked:

"Yang Chen, right? You claim to be from the future, what's the proof?

Let me make it clear first, you'd better think it over before you answer. My temper isn't as gentle as my girl's. You can fool her, but you can't fool me.

If we find out that you are lying, we will be very rude to you!"
