Queen Ma, who arrived suddenly, could be said to have directly suppressed this large group of grown men as soon as she appeared.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still shouting to kill just now, just turned his head silently and looked aside.
After Queen Ma glanced at the people around her, she looked at everyone with some blame.
Then he walked into Zhu Yuanzhang's palace.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to look back.
And this glance made several people standing outside the hall involuntarily straighten their waists.
"Why are you still standing outside? Isn't it embarrassing enough? Come in quickly."
After Empress Ma spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just shouted the most joyfully, was the first to move.
He raised his feet and walked towards the main hall.
The movements can be said to be done in one go, without any sloppiness.
After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang move, Zhu Biao and Xu Da then walked towards the main hall.
Chu Ze was about to follow him in, but his arm was suddenly pulled by Zhu Di on the side.
"Chu Ze, help me, my calves are a little weak."
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Chu Ze subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his trousers.
And Chu Ze's action naturally fell into Zhu Di's eyes.
He first looked down and found nothing.
Then he suddenly came to his senses.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and help me in. Father, don't get angry again."
"Ahem...it's nothing, I just wanted to see if you peed your pants. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing else, just out of curiosity."
"We are not done with this matter. I will strangle you sooner or later. You can't find another person to trap you. You have to stare at me..."
"I really didn't trick you this time, your father asked first!"
After everyone entered the hall, Queen Ma immediately had the door of the hall closed.
Looking at the large family sitting in a circle, Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a blameful face.
"Zhu Chongba, what kind of disease do you think you have? You know how to beat and kill all the time!"
"You didn't give birth to your son, right? You're going to kill this one and that one at every turn. You've beaten them all to death, and look who will cry when the time comes!"
"We, we..."
Lao Zhu, who was scolded by Queen Ma, wanted to retort.
But when he raised his head and met Queen Ma's eyes, he turned his head to the side in a evasive manner the next second.
But when he couldn't see Queen Ma's expression, Lao Zhu's face suddenly hardened again.
"We were disciplining him and letting him know what was good and what was good. We were right! We are the emperor and his father, so why can't we beat him? I beat my son, it is only natural!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone could be said to be extremely tough at this time, but after saying these words, his eyes carefully glanced at Queen Ma.
When he found that Queen Ma was still staring at him, he quickly turned his gaze aside with a guilty conscience.
"You are so stubborn, why don't you look at me when you speak?"
"We're not afraid of you."
"I didn't say you were afraid of me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who looked a little relieved after being spoken to by Empress Ma, simply chose not to speak at this time.
After Lao Zhu stopped moving, Queen Ma also looked at Zhu Biao, Chu Ze, and Zhu Di who were sitting in a row.
"You three, who is going to explain to me now what happened?"
Faced with Queen Ma's inquiry and gaze, Zhu Di was the first to shake his head.
"Mother, I didn't know what happened the whole time. After I was summoned, I knelt down directly."
Although this was a bit timid to say, it even sounded a little aggrieved.
But this is also the best answer Zhu Di can think of now.
I don’t know anything, I am innocent.
So responsibility, even if all the mistakes are your own fault, they are not your fault.
"Okay, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. Just sit down and tell me, Biao'er, what happened?"
After nodding to Zhu Di, Queen Ma looked at Chu Ze and Zhu Biao again, and then she finally fixed her eyes on Zhu Biao.
Although she still doesn't know what happened specifically, she knows without thinking that it probably has something to do with Chu Ze.
So she did not choose to ask Chu Ze, but instead focused on Zhu Biao.
"Mother, this matter is generally speaking."
Zhu Biao looked at Xu Da, who was sitting opposite, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the seat, with questioning eyes.
After getting the acquiescence from his eyes, Zhu Biao recounted the whole thing exactly.
After hearing Zhu Biao's retelling of the incident, Queen Ma frowned deeply.
However, Xu Da, who was sitting aside, could only keep picking up the teacup and drinking tea at this time, hoping to use this to cover up his embarrassing situation at this time.
Prince Zhu Biao died suddenly, and Zhu Di rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor
Is this really something he can listen to?
Although Xu Da knew the identity of Chu Ze's traveler, he never expected that what would happen in the future would be so exciting.
And when he heard Zhu Biao's story about the glorious achievements of the Ming God of War, Xu Da immediately choked himself.
The sound of coughing almost became the main theme in the entire hall.
Among them, the one who dared not accept it the most was Zhu Di himself.
He looked at Chu Ze with dull eyes, as if he couldn't believe this fact.
After a long silence, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice finally sounded again.
"Sister, if you tell me that the Fourth Brother rebels, just rebel. At least you have to protect the foundation of our Ming Dynasty and don't do such embarrassing things."
"I heard earlier that the fourth child rebelled and became emperor. Do you think we would react? Did we say a few words to him? We didn't blame him for this matter at all."
"But things are different this time! Fourth, tell yourself, should we whip you?"
"."
After hearing his father's voice lingering in his ears for a while, Zhu Di's vision suddenly went dark and he slumped down on the chair.
"Beasts. What a disgrace! Five hundred thousand elites were annihilated in one day. As an emperor, he was actually captured and taken to the enemy camp. Even if you don't say that you will die to serve the country, you will die to show your ambition! At least you can't do it for your own life. , go and let the city open and surrender."
"What a beast"
At this time, Zhu Di was completely numb, his eyes were staring blankly ahead, and bursts of low-pitched curses continued to come out of his mouth.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang called him, he would turn a deaf ear.
You can tell just by looking at his clenched fists and the bloodshot look in his eyes.
If Zhu Qizhen had been born at this time, he would have probably rushed back immediately and strangled him alive.
No, Zhu Di even felt that if he knew these things after his death, he would probably jump out of the coffin and strangle him alive.
This is no longer something that is insulting to the family tradition and ruining the family. This is a complete embarrassment to the ancestors.
"Sister, look at how angry he is. Shouldn't we beat him up?"
"Erhu, get our vine whip."
"My son is willing to be punished."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already angry after hearing it once, still felt like three gods were out of body and three corpses were jumping violently after hearing it for the second time!
Angry, he stood up from his position again.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Biao and Xu Da also hurriedly tried to stop him.
Zhu Di just screamed and knelt on the ground.
At first, he felt that his father wanted to slap him, and he felt wronged inexplicably. But after hearing about these things, Zhu Di now wanted to slap himself twice.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control again, Queen Ma had to speak again to stop Lao Zhu who was about to make a move.
"What kind of cane are you using? What's the point of beating the Fourth Brother? Then Zhu Qizhen is a good member of the Fourth Brother's lineage, but what's the matter? You are the father, right? The Fourth Brother is still yours. Pulse!"
"Why don't you slap yourself?"
"Ah! Uh, this..."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still eager to give it a try, suddenly froze after hearing Queen Ma's rhetorical question.
It seems that this statement seems to make sense.
After all, Zhu Qizhen is the great-grandson of Lao Si. If all this has to be traced to Lao Si.
Then his great-grandfather.
Is there also joint and several liability?
At this time, the most embarrassed people in this hall are probably Chu Ze and Xu Da.
Seeing this almost becoming a farce, they couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who obviously realized that he seemed to be in the wrong, gradually sat back down.
Zhu Di was also helped up by Zhu Biao.
Just when everyone thought the turmoil was about to end, Queen Ma looked at Chu Ze again.
"Chu Ze, as well as your question, since you have said it, the future can be changed. Now that you are already changing the future, then just stop talking about these things that could originally make people angry. You Suddenly he said something that is now impossible to happen again."
"Hey, Queen, you can't blame me for this! I really didn't want to say this. Your Majesty asked me something at the time, and then I accidentally let it slip. I had already changed my mind. Yes, but His Majesty said that if I don’t explain this matter clearly, he will ask the maid in my palace to castrate me while I am asleep.”
"I have no choice but to say this!"
After hearing Queen Ma start talking about her own affairs.
Chu Ze also looked aggrieved.
Before that, when he met Zhu Zhen, he could conceal the fact that Zhu Zhen's father-in-law would be raped by Zhu Zhen in the future.
He actually didn't want to say anything about the Ming God of War.
If Lao Zhu hadn't threatened his brother's life, would he have said this after eating too much?
You see, after saying this, Zhu Di was immediately furious.
And Lao Zhu was so angry that he fainted.
And what good does it do to himself?
Today, if Empress Ma hadn't heard the news from somewhere and came to the rescue in time, he would have been beaten.
How could Chu Ze do this kind of thing that would harm others, not only hurt him, but also himself?
"And there's this!"
"You kid, don't talk nonsense. When have we ever threatened you with this kind of thing? Tell him clearly. I'm telling you, you kid is a slanderer, you know? Girl, don't listen to his nonsense! We will definitely Not that kind of person. This is a false accusation."
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was still shouting about beating and killing, but after hearing Chu Ze mention that he picked up the scissors and threatened Chu Ze.
The whole person suddenly lost his composure, jumped up from his chair, and then pointed at Chu Ze with great emotion.
However, the next second, Queen Ma stopped directly in front of Chu Ze and protected him behind her.
"Chongba."
Facing Queen Ma's complaining gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang's aura suddenly weakened by nearly half.
He looked at Xu Da, who had been trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, with some evasion.
The look on his face suddenly became happy.
Then, under Queen Ma's complaining gaze, he quickly ran to Xu Da's side.
He took Xu Da's hand and hurriedly walked outside.
"Tian De, you have also heard the cause and effect of the matter. If the old Beiyuan tribe is not eliminated for one day, it will be a disaster after all."
"How's that carbuncle on your back? I heard from Biao'er that this guy Chu Ze came up with something called sulfur soap. He said he could use it to bathe and wash clothes, and it would be much cleaner. Maybe it could be controlled. That carbuncle on your back.”
"I'll ask Chu Ze to send some to you later, and you can try to use it too. In order to live for another ten or twenty years, we two old guys will level the whole area in the north before we leave."
"Before you die, no matter what, you have to hold them on your back!"
Xu Da had been trying hard to reduce his presence, but he didn't expect that at this time, he would be caught by Zhu Yuanzhang.
When he heard about the sulfur soap that Chu Ze made, Xu Da also smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, my carbuncle has grown. There is probably nothing I can do about it. I can only live for another four or five years at most, so we may not be able to help you. You see... otherwise Let someone else try it.”
"I'm really out of my depth. If something goes wrong while leading the army out, even if you chop me into pieces, I won't be able to offset this sin."
Enough shocking news for today.
Xu Da naturally knew at this time that even if he wanted to pretend to be confused, he couldn't pretend anymore.
Some things still have to be stated openly.
Therefore, he made it clear without any concealment that he actually knew the identity of Chu Ze's traveler before.
And by the way, he roughly told the date of his death.
He still had some idea of his situation.
Five or six years, this is definitely his limit.
"Tiande, what are you talking about? Isn't this boy Chu Ze still here? Let him find a way! Chu Ze."
"Well, Your Majesty, I really don't have a solution for this matter. After all, he has this disease."
"You kid, why can't you do this and that? What else can you do? You're a useless thing."
"Your Majesty, listening to what you are saying, why do you feel that you are looking for a reason to scold me?"
"Do we have it?"
"."
