Empress Ma was silent for a long time, then shook her head and said: "I think he may not be deceiving the emperor. Whether it was when he suggested that the emperor avoid fighting on two sides and adopt the strategy of defeating each other, or many other things after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Advice, these are definitely not lies to you, right?"
Liu Bowen's advice and suggestions since he followed Zhu Yuanzhang all the way cannot be fake.
But when Lao Zhu thought that Liu Ji belonged to someone else, he felt uncomfortable. This is like the beauty who originally thought he was in love with her, but turned out to be a trap thrown by others to set herself up.
"Are you still helping him speak at this time?"
Queen Ma knew that the emperor was completely angry about this matter. Knowing that forcibly discouraging him would be counterproductive, he could only say tactfully: "I am not defending him. After what happened today, I have just figured out some things in the past."
"What's the matter?" Lao Zhu knew that Queen Ma was inducing him to ask questions, but he felt very uncomfortable if she didn't ask, so he couldn't help but ask in the end.
When Empress Ma heard the emperor's question, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I used to wonder why the Ming Dynasty was founded and all the ministers who had meritorious services were rewarded one after another. Why did Liu Bowen still act like this all day long? He looked depressed. And as time went on, he became more depressed."
Having said this, Empress Ma rolled her eyes at the Emperor and continued: "Originally, I thought it was because Your Majesty gave him too low a reward. Now it seems that he is depressed because of a dilemma." It's the people behind him who are constantly forcing him, and at the same time, he can't let go of his friendship with the emperor, and he doesn't want to do anything that would disgrace the emperor. He's in a dilemma, and he's being blamed by both sides. Anyone would be depressed all day long."
Lao Zhu fell into silence after hearing Queen Ma's words. Although he knew that the girl was trying to excuse Liu Bowen, he had to admit that what the girl said made sense. Liu Bowen has indeed been depressed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Except for going to court and on duty, he almost stayed at his house all day and never went anywhere. Even if we come to him to discuss state affairs, we only ask and answer questions, as if it is difficult to arouse his interest in anything. If he wants to harm himself, he should try his best to get close to us and give us some bad ideas.
Looking at the overall situation, Liu Bowen has been very effective in making suggestions since he followed us. The only thing is that there are some flaws in the proposal to issue treasure banknotes. But the situation at that time, the court had no choice. If the treasure banknotes were not issued, the Ming Dynasty might really fall into a precarious situation. Therefore, from this point alone, it cannot be said that Liu Bowen's suggestions are wrong.
And didn't Han Du also say that if the treasure banknote is used, it will be enough to become the Ming Dynasty's divine sword that will subdue the country?
"So girl, what do you think we should do now?"
When Queen Ma heard this, she felt happy. She knew her words had an effect. Then he continued: "I know that the emperor is angry that Liu Bowen did not tell the emperor the secret in his heart, but who in the world doesn't have any secrets in his heart?"
Even saints still hide their own secrets in their hearts, let alone ordinary people. As the saying goes, no one is perfect in terms of his heart, but his deeds are not the same as his heart.
Lao Zhu was supported by Queen Ma and slowly sat down at the table and continued to listen to Queen Ma's details.
"Besides, he is dead now. The dead are the most important. Your Majesty, you have personally sealed the coffin and made the final decision. How can you still regret it now? Even if you regret it now, what can you do to relieve your anger, Your Majesty? Can you drag him out? Whip the corpse? Wouldn’t that be a joke!”
this......
When Lao Zhu was reluctant just now, he really thought like this. But now that Queen Ma had spoken out, he was too embarrassed to mention it again. But the anger in his heart was still echoing, and he said unconvinced: "He is dead, but he still has descendants. If the father's debt is repaid by the son, it is okay for me to settle the account with his two sons. What's more, If he dies, maybe his two sons will succeed him and become people over there?"
When Queen Ma heard this, she chuckled and said calmly: "I dare you to vouch for his two sons. They will definitely not be from that side."
"Why?" Lao Zhu was uncharacteristically not angry because Queen Ma favored Liu Bowen, but instead asked the reason.
Empress Ma showed an expected look and explained: "Liu Bowen is such a smart person. He knows that if he wants to truly benefit his two sons, the best way is not to tell his sons anything about the people behind him. Things. He must understand that if he wants his son to live a stable life, he must not let them have any involvement with the people behind them. Once his son gets involved, they will truly never have peace. Unless Liu Bowen himself wanted to have no heirs, he would never let his two sons know this."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu showed a satisfied look, let out a cold snort, and stopped mentioning any words of revenge against Liu Bowen's descendants. Obviously, Lao Zhu himself also understood this point, but as an emperor, he was used to hiding his intentions and expressed them through Queen Ma's mouth.
Lao Zhu was satisfied, but Queen Ma's face began to become a little serious.
"There is another reason why I do not advise the emperor to cause trouble to Liu Bowen's descendants."
"what reason?"
"Your Majesty, since we will think about Liu Bowen's two descendants, will the people behind him think about it? It would be fine if everything remains as usual. If the Emperor wants to attack them, I am worried that I will alert the snake."
After hearing this, Lao Zhu's expression became serious and he nodded slowly.
What the girl said makes sense. Since she can keep an eye on his descendants, will those people also keep an eye on them?
Just imagine, someone like Liu Bowen must be a core member of the other party. If even a miraculous person like Liu Bowen is not a core member of the opponent, then Lao Zhu should stop thinking about revenge and think about how to withstand the opponent's attack.
Although Lao Zhu didn't know what agreement Liu Bowen had reached with the people behind him, which could allow his two sons to escape safely. But if it were him, even if his son could escape, he would be closely monitored.
If we attack them both at this time, wouldn't it fall into the eyes of the people behind them?
"My sister is right. At this time, the enemy is hidden and we are clear. It is indeed not appropriate to alert the enemy."
