When Queen Ma saw that the emperor had truly given up, her heart finally settled. Although Queen Ma was indeed as angry as the emperor after learning that Liu Bowen was a pawn thrown by certain forces. But she is a woman after all, and she still has a touch of sensibility. After all, it was her repeated persuasion that took Liu Bowen away from Qingtian, and she always felt a trace of debt to him in her heart. Moreover, his two descendants were also raised by Empress Ma. Under such circumstances, how could she bear to watch them die?
"As long as the emperor understands, Liu Bowen has been dead for several years after all. The emperor should know that the biggest enemy of Ming Dynasty at this moment is not him at all, but the people behind him."
Queen Ma eliminated Lao Zhu's hatred for Liu Bowen and pointed the real threat to him.
As expected, Lao Zhu's attention was diverted, and he said bitterly: "Of course I know that these people are so audacious that they dare to bring trouble to the world. They all deserve to be executed by Lingchi. Naturally, I will not let them go."
Since these people can bring trouble to the world of the Qianyuan Dynasty, if they are left alone, won't they bring trouble to the world of the Ming Dynasty in the future? Lao Zhu would never agree to this, and he would never give up. He will definitely try his best to find these people one by one. Only by completely destroying them can he feel at ease.
After hearing this, Queen Ma didn't say much. As long as the emperor knows some things, it will be fine. As for what the emperor should do, it is naturally up to the emperor to consider. If she talks too much, it will be bad and counterproductive.
...
Outside Fengtai Gate, I saw a group of cavalry covered in smoke and dust coming from far away. The rumble of horse hooves came like thunder, causing the people at the city gate who were preparing to enter and exit the city to look sideways.
"Who is this? Such a grand display."
At this time, horses are not something that ordinary people can ride. Horses were originally a strategic resource for the imperial court. In peacetime, horses were not uncommon among the people. However, the Ming Dynasty's continuous wars consumed horses greatly. Even the imperial court's horses were in short supply, and it was even harder to see them among the people.
Even as a commoner in the capital, it was rare to see people riding horses. Either the generals from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were riding horses, or they were rushing to Beijing from eight hundred miles away.
But most of these were single riders, and it was extremely rare to see a whole team of cavalry appear outside the capital at once like now.
Someone took a look, and immediately ignored the capital and stepped to the side of the road. He shouted to the people who were still staying in place: "Get out of the way, that's the king's flag. I don't know which prince is entering the capital."
When they heard that the prince was coming to the capital, the people at the city gate dispersed. The man who had warned everyone retreated to both sides of the road and looked curiously at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer.
People couldn't help but wonder, which prince is coming to Beijing? Why did you come to Beijing again?
The emperor has issued strict orders. When the kings reach a certain age, they must join the feudal vassal. They are not allowed to stay in the capital, and they are not allowed to return to the capital without an edict.
Why did a prince come to Beijing now?
Because of what? Naturally, it was because of Queen Ma's critical illness. When Empress Ma was critically ill, she felt that it would be difficult to survive, so she asked Lao Zhu to summon all the kings to Beijing to see her child for the last time.
Although Lao Zhu did not think that Queen Ma's condition was so serious, he still sent people out of Beijing overnight at Queen Ma's repeated requests.
But what people didn't expect was that the next day Han Du presented the magic medicine, and Queen Ma's condition was cured by the medicine. However, the order to summon the kings to the capital has been sent out eight hundred miles hastily, and now even if it is sent another eight hundred miles, it will not be able to catch up.
In addition, Queen Ma and Lao Zhu also wanted to see the kings themselves, so they did not issue another order to stop them and allowed the kings to enter the capital.
Today, the first prince finally arrived in the capital.
Jin Wang Zhu Fan was the first to rush to the capital.
Zhu Fan has straight and slender eyebrows, bright eyes, and a thick ring of hair on his face, looking majestic and majestic. As he was riding fast on horseback, he saw the capital lying on the horizon in the distance, with tigers and dragons looming over it, and his heart felt hot. The fatigue caused by running around for days has not only faded a little.
The cavalry was getting closer and closer, but their speed began to slow down. When Zhu Fan arrived outside the Fengtai Gate, he had already reined in his horse and stopped.
Looking at the city gate that was exactly the same as in his memory, Zhu Fan fell into memories. Time flies so fast, and before I know it, I have already been a feudal lord for three years. It seems like it was yesterday when I left the capital.
Zhu Fan fell into memories and was guarded by the cavalry in the middle, even though they blocked the city gate tightly. As soon as Zhu Fan arrived at the city gate, he was recognized by the guard, but he did not dare to come forward and disturb him. I can only hope in my heart that King Jin can enter the city as soon as possible.
The people had already retreated far away. Even if Zhu Fan blocked the city gate and delayed their entry and exit, they did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction. Even the city gate guards didn't dare to say a word. What could ordinary people like them say?
Zhu Fan came back to his senses, glanced at the words Fengtai Gate for the last time, and was about to order the cavalry to enter the city when another thunderous sound of horse hooves came from the distance.
Zhu Fan turned around and saw a group of cavalry running towards here.
Facing the rushing cavalry, Zhu Fan blocked the city gate with no intention of giving in. But this is normal. There are really few people in this world who can make King Jin give in.
Seeing that the city gate was blocked, the pair of cavalrymen had no intention of accelerating their rampage. They also slowed down quickly and stopped in front of Zhu Fan.
Zhu Fan saw the person clearly and suddenly said: "I thought it was who he was, but I didn't expect it was my fourth brother."
Zhu Di has a face with a Chinese character, and there is still a trace of tenderness in his face that has been cut with a knife and an axe. Seeing Zhu Fan in front, Zhu Di was very happy, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I pay my respects to the third brother. I didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence to meet the third brother here."
Zhu Fan didn't express any response to Zhu Di's salute. Instead, his eyes flashed and he asked, "What? Aren't you happy to see my brother here?"
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, spread his hands, and said in surprise: "Third brother, does this mean that I'm unhappy?"
With a cold snort, Zhu Fan did not continue to argue with Zhu Di on this issue, but continued: "Brother Wei is in Taiyuan, and the fourth brother is in Peiping. Brother Wei set off for Beijing as soon as he received the order from his father. We rode at high speed along the way without any delay. I didn't expect that the fourth brother was so far away from my brother, and he actually arrived in the capital at the same time as my brother. Was it the fourth brother who was notified by the father in advance? "
