Han Du was like a king cobra with its upper body straightened up, spitting out the most violent venom. But what Han Du said is correct. Since there are no damn sesame seed songs now, where did the magical sesame seed songs that were promoted in later generations come from? There must have been someone who took advantage of the situation and got involved in private affairs.
After listening to Han Du's words, Lao Zhu was shaken and his outlook was a little unstable. He murmured to himself: "In such a world, can there be any words of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust? Is there any word of loyalty, filial piety and brotherhood?"
Turning back and seeing Han Du's indifferent expression, Lao Zhu became angry and angry, and slapped Han Du on the forehead. "We'll beat you to death, you unfaithful and unfilial bastard."
The slap made Han Du's head buzz, but fortunately Lao Zhu temporarily stopped a few points, otherwise Lao Zhu could draw the strong bow to full strength and slap Han Du, and Han Du would definitely be knocked unconscious on the ground.
Han Du touched his sore forehead and did not dare to resist. But I felt extremely aggrieved. I was just giving an example. It doesn't mean that I am that kind of person. Why did you hit me?
Fortunately, Lao Zhu just acted in anger. After hitting Han Du, he calmed down a lot and did not continue to attack Han Du. He picked up the teacup on the coffee table and threw it to the ground. Lao Zhu pointed his thick finger at the door of the study, "Get out."
Han Du quickly withdrew and glanced at the tea cup on the ground before leaving. Sure enough, there are too many surprises in this world. I originally thought that if this teacup stayed in the imperial study, no one would dare to steal it, and it would stay there safely forever. In the end, it didn't even last a day and turned into debris all over the ground.
As Han Du left the palace, he was still sighing in his heart. It's very important to tell the truth. I finally told the truth once and got beaten. This is too unfair. Who can I ask to explain to you?
...
Although Han Du left, it was obvious that the controversy over the signing would not subside so easily. After all, this is a matter involving the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to just let it go.
Lao Zhu kept silent about this for a few days, and finally went to the queen with the signature.
After several days of cultivation, Queen Ma's mental state returned to the time when she was not sick, and was even better than before. When she heard that the emperor was coming, she was originally happy. When she saw the brocade box in the emperor's hand, her pupils suddenly shrank violently, and she waved her hand and sent everyone away, including Xiao Cui.
She and the emperor were the only two people left in the entire palace.
After watching Lao Zhu put the brocade box on the table, he sat down without saying a word. Empress Ma had no choice but to ask: "Isn't your Majesty always very precious about this thing? Why did you bring it here today?"
Lao Zhu glanced at the brocade box and said with a sneer: "Cherish it? I did cherish it before, but now I don't know if what I did before will become a joke."
The emperor's words made Empress Ma feel tense. An unpleasant feeling came to her heart, and she quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Lao Zhu told Queen Ma one by one about the things he asked about Han Du in a cold tone.
As soon as Queen Ma heard Han Du's name, she felt something bad in her heart. Isn't this brat talking nonsense in front of the emperor again? Sure enough, when the emperor finished speaking, Queen Ma suddenly felt a pain in her forehead. He held the table and sat across from the emperor. He propped his head with one hand and rubbed his temples with a few fingers.
After a while, Queen Ma felt that her headache was getting better. When she saw the emperor looking at her intently, she sighed helplessly and asked: "So, the emperor came to my concubine today just to tell me that you are the emperor." Are you ready to take revenge on him?"
"You personally went to Qingtian to bring him out. Naturally, I want to tell you. Are you still protecting him now?" Lao Zhu's face darkened, and a surge of anger surged into his heart.
As soon as Queen Ma heard the emperor's tone, she knew what he was thinking. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "How is that possible? But the emperor thinks, is it okay to do it now? Your Majesty, don't forget that it was you who forced him to calculate in the first place. It’s about the destiny of the country, and he refused again and again, and it wasn’t until you forced him to the last resort that he gave you this signature. If the emperor wants to take action against him now, what will the world think?”
What will the world think?
This question is critical.
Liu Bowen could not have a posthumous reputation and could do whatever he wanted, but Zhu Yuanzhang could not. Because Zhu Yuanzhang relied on his reputation to build a country. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If he loses the hearts of the people because of a moment of anger, it will be more than worth the loss. And in this matter, Liu Bowen has always put him in a weak position. Zhu Yuanzhang has been constantly forcing him to calculate the fate of the country and trying every means to create constraints for him. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang reveals that Liu Bowen gave him a fake autograph, the people's hearts will still be with Liu Bowen.
Even if the signature is fake, the world will think that Liu Bowen was unwilling to reveal the secret and had to deliberately give a fake one under repeated pressure from the emperor. In this way, the world will not only favor Liu Bowen, but also make Lao Zhu, who exposed this matter, disgraced.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhu's face became even more ugly, he slapped the table hard, and cursed unwillingly: "Is this the case? Maybe when I asked him to calculate, he pushed back and forth just for the sake of it. Let me tie my hands and feet today."
If not, what can we do? Queen Ma glanced at the emperor and knew that he was not willing to accept it, but now that the matter had come to this, even if he had done it on purpose, what could she do?
The current situation is worse than silence. As long as we stand still, everyone will be happy. If there is a movement, we don't know what will happen.
Seeing the emperor's unwillingness, Empress Ma had no choice but to comfort him and said, "What if he is really being pushed too hard by the emperor and has no choice but to take this step? Maybe he doesn't have anything else in mind." must."
But Lao Zhu disagreed with Queen Ma, "No other thoughts? No other thoughts. He will always expressly and implicitly show that he can predict the future? No other thoughts. Will he collude with the inner court? No other thoughts , will the people around me risk their lives to tip him off?"
Seeing that the emperor couldn't listen to the advice, Empress Ma had no choice but to ask: "Then what is the emperor going to do? He has been dead for so many years. Is the emperor going to pull him out and whip his body? Or is he going to take revenge on his descendants?" On your body?"
