Chapter 58 Princess Heart
Before that, He Xi was just a lucky minister. But relying on Zhu Yuanzhang's favor and trust, he barely had a little weight in the center of the Ming Dynasty. Even so, Fu Zhong and others still looked down upon He Xi. Even though Mu Ying was nice to He Xi, she didn't think much of him. It's just for the prince's sake.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's favor and trust, and the prince's protection. It wasn't always there.
The heart of a king is so fickle. He Xi knows.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest reputation in history is not that he has any merits, but that he killed meritorious officials.
He Xi has always had a sense of crisis, worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would employ people first and not use others behind him, and even if he expressed the ideas of later generations such as democracy, republic, communism, etc., Zhu Yuanzhang would immediately silence him. Now, although he had been beaten, with his identity as the consort, He Xi's worries had gone away for the most part.
After all, during this period of time with Zhu Yuanzhang, he also understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was cold-hearted and cruel. But he is a sensible politician after all. He kills with a purpose, not the kind of tyrant who kills his entire family just by saying the wrong thing.
If I could really get married to Princess Anqing. He Xi's sense of security has greatly increased. Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not have no precedent of killing his consort. But it was the prince-in-law who broke the law first.
With this golden sign.
Ordinary major cases cannot happen to He Xi.
"Although Zhu Yuanzhang, the father-in-law, is not easy to take care of, after all, he is his father-in-law, but he is the direct princess of Queen Ma. It is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to let his daughter become a widow easily." Thinking of this, He Xi suddenly felt eager to give it a try. .
Under the bright future, everything will be prosperous. This is the time for heroes to use force. Previously, the Ordnance Bureau was just trying its best. If Zheng can gain Zhu Yuanzhang's trust. What can Pepsi do?
"It's just," He Xi's mind wandered around again. "Can Zhu Yuanzhang only listen to me?"
This is a worry, but He Xi also has another worry in his heart, that is, what kind of person is Princess Anqing?
Princess Anqing knew He Xi, but He Xi didn't know Princess Anqing. Just today when I was punished with the rod, I took a quick glance and didn't see clearly. Since he couldn't refuse this marriage, he was naturally worried about his future wife.
Today, it seems that things come and go in a hurry, as if there is something wrong with my IQ.
------
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Princess Anqing's palace.
A group of maids knelt on either side. Princess Anqing buried herself under the quilt at this moment. Seems to be crying.
If he hadn't been reminded by Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang might not have noticed it, but because of Empress Ma's reminder, Zhu Yuanzhang's nose twitched slightly and he discovered that there was some smell in this palace. Sweet and greasy. There is also some inexplicable floral fragrance.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know anything. But I think it should be some pastries. Ginseng petals. If sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Zhu Yuanzhang said to the maid: "Everyone, please retreat."
Zhu Yuanzhang came to Anqing's bed and looked at the rise and fall of the quilt on Anqing's body. He suddenly sat on the edge of the bed and said, "My child, you have been wronged by what happened today. Don't worry, that He Xi has been executed by my order. And All the eunuchs and maids present at the time were silenced----"
"Ah------" Princess Anqing was shocked.
Although this incident made Princess Anqing feel ashamed and annoyed at the time. But now a few hours have passed. This feeling of shame and annoyance has passed. However, in order to show that she was hurt, she hid under the quilt and saw no one. to express one's grievances.
I even decided not to eat today and go on a hunger strike.
So she hid a lot of cakes in the palace, and she was eating them deliciously. Suddenly, someone came to tell her that her father was here. For a moment, she didn't know where to hide, so Princess Anqing could only hide under the quilt. After all, my daughter is older. Zhu Yuanzhang would never lift his daughter's quilt.
Anqing was holding his breath and wanted to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to leave soon. Keep eating pastries. I never expected to hear such earth-shattering news.
Although Princess Anqing is smart. But she still pretends to be a good girl. Under Queen Ma's upbringing, she is kind-hearted and kind to the people around her. I never thought that this incident would cost so many lives.
For a moment, An Qing suddenly remembered that he heard that cold voice beside the small bamboo forest in Qianqing Palace. Without caring about anything else, he suddenly opened the quilt and revealed his head, saying, "Father, how can you kill people at will?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw some small particles on the edge of Princess Anqing's mouth, although he didn't know what they were. But I guess it's the remnants of a certain pastry. I don't know how to face her daughter. Now that the child has grown up, she is no longer the little daughter who was held high and played tricks on her father. What's even more ridiculous is that throughout my life as a soldier, I can see through at a glance what kind of people and what kind of thoughts they have, but I was fooled by the yellow-haired girl.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of his plan. He snorted coldly and said: "You are my daughter. No one in the world can be as good as your little finger. Your reputation is not only your reputation, but also the reputation of the Ming Dynasty royal family. I am determined not to let outsiders ruin me." The reputation of the Ming royal family.”
"For the sake of royal reputation, killing a few people doesn't matter."
"Don't worry, my son, what happened to you today will definitely not be spread out."
Princess Anqing was so anxious that she said, "Father, He Xi is not my brother. He is your child outside. This is just a trivial matter between brother and sister. Why did it get to this point?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said, "Who told you?"
Princess Anqing said: "This has spread throughout the world. No one in the palace knows about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew about this rumor, and he originally contributed to it. But now that he was going to marry his daughter to He Xi, he naturally could not tolerate the spread of such rumors. He sternly scolded: "Nonsense. You believe this kind of thing. Your mother is a virtuous and virtuous queen. How can you tolerate the exodus of royal heirs." "
"You're out of your mind. Do you believe what others say?"
Princess Anqing said: "My daughter realizes her mistake. But no matter what, you shouldn't kill so many people just because of trivial matters. This is harmful to your moral character."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "I know that my son is pure and kind in his heart. Don't worry, I will handle this matter well."
Princess Anqing begged: "Father, can you please stop killing people. I won't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. My daughter will feel uneasy conscience in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Anqing, why did you break into the Qianqing Palace without permission? Don't you know that when the Qianqing Palace is discussing matters, except for your mother, the harem is not allowed to go."
"This------" Princess Anqing's eyes rolled around, and she couldn't think of any way to quibble.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "Okay, I won't ask anymore. It's just a child. You are the Princess of the Ming Dynasty and have a different status. You must think twice before you make any move. Because once you make a mistake, you may not need to pay the price, but the people around you But there’s a price to pay.”
"Just like today, nothing will happen to you, but for the sake of the royal reputation, anyone who looks at someone you shouldn't look at will die."
For a time, Princess Anqing felt extremely uncomfortable. She was very happy to have escaped the punishment of her father. She felt that the more innocent she looked, the sadder she looked. My father refused to punish himself. After all, his father usually cares about him the most.
But at this moment, Princess Anqing would rather be punished.
Because she is a princess after all, the most punishments she can get are grounding her feet, hitting the board, writing and copying books, etc. It's not that difficult.
She was exempted from some punishment, but so many people had to pay for it with their lives. It made her feel extremely guilty.
Princess Anqing begged Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, can you not punish them? All the mistakes are the children's fault. Father, just punish the children. No matter how the father punishes, I will listen to the father."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Anqing, you have grown up. Stop saying such childish words."
"Please, Father." An Qing stood up, dressed in plain white clothes, and knelt on the bed. An Qing didn't notice, because of her actions, she opened a corner of the quilt, revealing a small jar. The lid of the jar had been opened, revealing the pastries inside.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said: "It's useless to beg. This is not only related to your business, but also related to the royal reputation. You are not the only princess in the palace. I also have to consider the reputation of other princesses. Have a good rest. Sleep. Just forget about this incident."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up and left.
Princess Anqing grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve and said, "Father, is there really nothing we can do?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Unless you marry He Xi and settle this matter. But who is He Xi? He also wants to marry my daughter. He is delusional."
Then Zhu Yuanzhang strode away.
After leaving Princess Anqing's palace, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled and said to himself: "Anqing, you little girl, you want to fight with me? Humph."
Zhu Yuanzhang had never thought that his favorite little cotton-padded jacket would play tricks on him. Only then did Anqing successfully reject the marriage several times. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang knows it, isn't it easy to control Princess Anqing?
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang thought.
Princess Anqing frowned. She was determined not to bear it and let so many people die for her.
Similarly, An Qing remembered what He Xi said about premarital phobia. Suddenly I felt that He Xi was a person who could understand me. Thinking again, the bloody wounds on He Xi's back, although a bit horrific, can also be seen that the skin on He Xi's back is smooth, although it cannot be said that it can be broken with a finger. But it is better than some women.
After all, some cleaning supplies in later generations were not given for free.
Princess Anqing thought to herself: "Come on, I will get married anyway. Marrying He Xi may not be the best choice, but it is probably not a bad choice. I can't really let these people, because of my fault, Lose your life."
"I'm going to beg my mother right now. The only one who can stop my father is my mother."
So Princess Anqing changed her clothes immediately. A fearless spirit to save the common people. Went to find Queen Ma.
Don't know why. Princess Anqing always feels that her face is a little hot. Even his face turned red.
