Be rational, calm, and calm in times of crisis!
At this time, Empress Ma can be said to have fully demonstrated the responsibility and courage that a wise empress should have through the ages.
After listening to Chu Ze's story, she directly focused all her questions on Chu Ze.
Everything has a cause and effect, and there must be a cause.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is better to ask Chu Ze directly than to be anxious.
After all, he was the witness to the whole thing.
"Queen, this matter... It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm not suitable to say it."
"Whether it's the prince or the grandson of the emperor, at a grand level, this is a matter of family and country. But in reality, this is a matter of your family."
"It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, not to mention that compared to future generations, you and your entire era are just words in books to us."
"It's filled with all kinds of conspiracy theories and falsification of historical facts. I discuss these too much..."
Facing Queen Ma's inquiry, Chu Ze also shook his head helplessly.
What insights can he have?
Zhu Xiongying's death has many theories in later generations.
Some said he just had bad luck and died of illness!
Others said that his mother died of illness and that the current Crown Princess Lu killed him so that the eldest son of the family could ascend to the throne.
Even Zhu Biao's death had something to do with her.
This matter is just a conjecture. Is it possible?
This is really hard to say.
But one thing is certain, all this is just speculation by future generations.
Chu Ze can't put these things on the table that he's not sure about, right?
"You actually have concerns? This doesn't seem like your attitude and original intention of wanting to die. What's wrong, have you changed your mind?"
Faced with Chu Ze's concerns, Queen Ma did not continue to ask. Instead, she looked at Chu Ze with a half-smile.
Queen Ma's question also made Chu Ze slightly stunned.
He... seems to be really worried.
"If I'm not wrong, a lot of people will die in the future. Many of them will just suffer unforeseen disasters."
"As a latecomer, you shouldn't be ignorant of these things."
"Chongba has a murderous and paranoid personality. If no one around him can persuade him, he will often get angry and will kill without hesitation."
"I think it's because of this that you feel desperate, right?"
"And if I'm not mistaken, after I die, Chongba will no longer listen to advice, right?"
"So you wanted to die at first, but now, you seem to be hesitant!"
...
Queen Ma's eyes were like X-ray machines at this time.
Although he always looked at Chu Ze with a half-smile, Chu Ze felt like he had been seen through by her.
It was as if he had no secrets in front of her.
Zhu Biao on the side witnessed the entire conversation between his mother and Chu Ze, and his admiration for his mother increased even more.
You know, since Chu Ze exposed himself, he has basically suppressed him verbally, except for his father who used threats to suppress him.
Other times, no matter who argued with Chu Ze, he would be at a disadvantage.
But now, Chu Ze was obviously verbally suppressed by his mother!
"Okay, Queen, you are right. I am indeed shaken. In other words, I am not as fearless of death as I thought, especially after seeing the hope of living."
"If I can live without death and still be able to make a name for myself in your era, I would actually be happy to experience this kind of life."
Facing Queen Ma's inquiry, Chu Ze also started to torture himself in his heart.
After these few days of contact and calmness, does he really still have the determination to face death as he did at the beginning?
Especially now that Zhu Biao has shown that he attaches great importance to him, and Zhu Yuanzhang has also shown that he is indulging in him.
Chu Ze had to admit that in the future that he originally thought was dark, there was once again a glimmer of light.
If the road ahead was not bleak, who would really choose to close their eyes?
Although he didn't want to admit it, Chu Ze was indeed shaken.
Moreover, Chu Ze also had a new understanding of Queen Ma in front of him.
Zhu Biao had been in contact with him for so many days, but he never understood the reason why Chu Ze wanted to die.
However, Queen Ma made a rough guess just when she saw him for the first time.
Undoubtedly, in terms of his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, the prince Zhu Biao is still far behind his mother.
"Let's make a deal. If you can save Xiongying or Biao'er's life, I will secretly let you go before I die in the future. The world is vast, and although the Ming Dynasty may not have a place for you, you can too. ..”
"Forget it, Queen, there is no need to say this. Although I don't have any grand ambitions, I am nostalgic for the past. I am used to the great rivers and mountains at my feet, and the fallen leaves know how to return to their roots. I don't want to die in a foreign land. I don't want to leave my hometown."
"If your Majesty wants to kill me before you leave in the future, just beg for mercy and give me a good time."
Although there are certain records, before Empress Ma died, she let go of all the imperial doctors who had diagnosed her.
Use her selfless love to tolerate everyone she knows or doesn't know.
But Chu Ze still had some idea of his identity.
As a time-traveler, he would definitely not be able to leave just by saying he wanted to leave, like those imperial doctors who were let go.
Even Chu Ze can be sure that he has now become the focus of the school inspection, that is, the Jin Yiwei in later generations.
Want to run?
No way.
"Now that it comes to this, I won't be secretive anymore. There are generally two versions of the death of the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying in later generations. One is that he died at the hands of the current crown prince Lu. After all, from the perspective of conspiracy theories, Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, has no mother now."
"So, if the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, then Lu will most likely be the new queen. But his son is not the prince..."
"I don't think I need to say more about this matter. However, the credibility of this statement does not seem to be high, especially if these methods are used under Emperor Hongwu, the feasibility is... very low."
"As for the second theory, it is that the emperor's grandson died of the plague and smallpox. There are only a few words left in history. It seems to have mentioned that the emperor's grandson died of a sudden illness after returning from an outing."
"In addition, at that time, it seemed that a smallpox plague broke out in the Ming Dynasty. If the two are combined, the possibility of this speculation will be much higher."
"Of course, there is a third type, someone maliciously infected him with smallpox."
