Outside the prison.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ashen. Today's conversation was not going well.
I obviously have the advantage in this situation, so why did it end up like this?
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand how Su Jing could still be so stubborn and fearless even though she was in prison.
He also clearly guessed his intention in letting him become an official.
Now that the window of identity has been completely blown, there has been no substantial progress.
Lao Zhu only felt defeated.
He has defeated many opponents and ascended to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but he has been defeated by Su Jing so many times.
It’s a little uncomfortable just thinking about it!
But this guy Su Jing is really annoying and loving.
"Your Majesty, how was your discussion with Mr. Su?"
Xu Miaoyun's figure appeared and came directly in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
It turned out that she was not there at all just now, and had been waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to appear outside the prison.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately calmed down his expression and replied: "Miaoyun, you haven't left yet. Do you want to see Su Jing again?"
"Um."
Xu Miaoyun nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "No, Su Jing is not suitable to see anyone now, you should go back first."
Lao Zhu directly stopped Xu Miaoyun from wanting to see Su Jing. Now he just wants Su Jing to be alone and have no access to anything, so he will be bored to death!
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Xu Miaoyun immediately asked nervously: "Your Majesty, did Mr. Su do something? Did Mr. Su really do something unpardonable?"
Even though he was not allowed to visit the prison, Xu Miaoyun felt that things must not be simple.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face: "Miaoyun, you are still young. This is not something you should inquire about. Go back first."
Lao Zhu obviously didn't think much about explaining to Xu Miaoyun. He couldn't tell Xu Miaoyun that he was frustrated by Su Jing, so he wanted to take revenge on Su Jing.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xu Miaoyun was anxious, but facing the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he could only obey.
Soon Zhu Yuanzhang left the Yingtian Mansion Prison. Of course, Zhu Biao was also taken away. The prince accompanied Su Jing to jail. If this kind of thing spread, it would only lose the royal face.
Su Jing's custody standards have also changed.
Not only the single cell, but also all the nearby cells were empty, and the government officials would only come when they were delivering meals.
He left immediately after delivering the goods and was not allowed to communicate with Su Jing.
To put it bluntly, it just makes Su Jing boring.
Lao Zhu is now competing with Su Jing and must make Su Jing suffer.
The news that Zhu Yuanzhang went to Yingtian Mansion Prison to visit Su Jing soon spread throughout the court.
This time, Su Jing didn't come out.
Su Jing has fallen out of favor!
Zhongshu Province.
Yang Xian was still as arbitrary as ever, even more excessive than before.
"Hahahahaha, Your Majesty still trusts me."
Yang Xiangang couldn't help laughing when he learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had come out of prison and Su Jing was still detained.
He has always been very jealous of Su Jing, and now Su Jing has no chance of turning over.
Because there is only one person who can make Su Jing come out, and that is Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
But this time, Zhu Yuanzhang went, but Su Jing was still in the prison. This shows something obvious.
At this moment, Yang Xian no longer had any opponents in the Ming Dynasty.
Li Shan was recuperating, Su Jing was imprisoned, Li Shan was shrinking, and even his teacher Liu Bowen was under house arrest.
Among civil servants, who else is his opponent?
Yang Xian was completely immersed in his own world.
Of course, in addition to consolidating and demonstrating his power, Yang Xian did not do anything serious.
He is addicted to power, but he also has a heart to do something great.
The decrees that were promulgated one after another basically followed Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of recuperation. Because of Yang Xian's arbitrary power, these decrees were also implemented quickly.
If you don't look at other things Yang Xian did, then he can be regarded as a good prime minister.
Unfortunately, the world is not black and white, and people are always complex and changeable.
…
Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Xi and several others gathered here, with eager expressions on their faces.
"Brother, what happened to Mr. Su? How do you want to deal with Mr. Su?"
Zhu Xi asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "I don't know either. When my father met with Master Su, he turned away everyone. I have no idea what my father and Master Su said."
Zhu Fan immediately said: "What happened after that? Didn't Mr. Su say anything to you, brother?"
Zhu Biao replied: "No, after my father and Master Su finished talking, they took me away. I never saw Master Su at all."
"Then let's go see Mr. Su now and at least know what's going on."
Zhu Di is an activist. If he can't ask, it would be best to find Su Jing directly.
Zhu Biao immediately said: "Fourth brother, calm down, no one can see Mr. Su now. In the prison, my father has already ordered that no one can see Master Su. Master Su's cells are all in a separate area. The yamen who deliver the meals can't even say a word to Master Su."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Zhu Xi and others suddenly changed.
This is not simple.
Although there was no physical torture or conviction, this method of detention clearly showed that it was not simple.
"Where is my father? Didn't my father say anything to you? Brother?"
Zhu Xi asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao sighed and said: "My father is very angry now and is unwilling to talk to me at all. I don't know what my father thinks."
Not seeing Su Jing, Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing.
In this situation, they seemed to have no other option but to be anxious.
"What's going on? Mr. Su obviously didn't commit any crime. Why did Yang Xian target Mr. Su like this?"
Zhu Xi said with a puzzled look.
He has the simplest mind and can't figure out the reason at all.
He just felt that Yang Xian did this, and it was Yang Xian's reason why Su Jing couldn't come out.
Zhu Fan said: "Second brother, although it was Yang Xian who arrested Mr. Su, only my father can do it to prevent Mr. Su from being released from prison. I am afraid that my father and Mr. Su are in the cell and their conversation is not pleasant."
Zhu Biao nodded and said: "What the third brother said makes sense. I think so too. Master Su is a straightforward man. Even in prison, he is still calm and composed. I think my father may not like Master Su's attitude." Bar."
There were some things Zhu Biao couldn't say too much to his younger brothers, but he also roughly understood the real reason why Su Jing was arrested.
"Brother, was there nothing unusual about Master Su during these days in prison?"
Zhu Xi asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao replied: "Yes, Master Su is in the prison just like he is at home. He doesn't look like a prisoner at all."
Zhu Biao was very surprised at Su Jing's comfortable state of mind in the prison.
In such a situation, ordinary people simply cannot be like Su Jing.
But because he was Su Jing, Zhu Biao felt it was normal.
Zhu Rui said: "Brother, maybe we don't have to worry. Master Su is not panicking. How can we panic first? My father has not said how to deal with Master Su. Everything is undecided."
Being young has the advantage of being younger, and trust is more pure.
After listening to Zhu Xi's words, Zhu Biao and others felt much better.
"Brother, I think the fifth brother is right. My father didn't say anything about how to deal with Mr. Su. Isn't the firearms bureau about to be established? I remember that Mr. Su put forward a lot of suggestions, and my father never said he would not adopt them. If this is the case, it means that this matter may not be as serious as we thought."
Zhu Fan made a rational analysis.
At this time, Zhu Di said: "Brother, have you asked the Queen Mother? I remember that the Queen Mother respected Mr. Su very much. My father listened to the Queen Mother the most. If the Queen Mother came forward, maybe this matter would not be a problem."
As soon as these words came out, the brothers suddenly understood.
"Hey, I was so anxious that I forgot there was a behind-the-scenes thing. I'm going to find my mother right now."
Zhu Biao said immediately.
It was also because of Su Jing's incident that his mind was so disturbed that he even forgot about the key figure of his mother, Queen Ma.
Several other people saw this and stopped staying. They just asked Zhu Biao to quickly find their mother, Queen Ma.
…
Inside the Forbidden City at this time.
In Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked angry and sat on a chair, his anger visible to the naked eye.
But now the Queen Ma across from him is quite relaxed. As a couple who have been in trouble for many years, Queen Ma knows Zhu Yuanzhang very well.
Although Lao Zhu looks very angry now, it is actually a trivial matter.
Lao Zhu would never show true anger so directly.
It's like when Lao Zhu wants to kill someone, he usually smiles so that others can't see it.
This undisguised emotion only shows that Lao Zhu is not really angry at all.
"Chongba, what's wrong? Are you frustrated with Mr. Su?"
Empress Ma smiled and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "You didn't even go back to Fengxian Hall, you came directly to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Sister, Su Jing is so ignorant of praise. We have told him that I am the emperor, but he still does not deserve to be an official!"
"Obviously he has become an official, so we will let him out immediately, but he is not willing to come out yet!"
The more Lao Zhu talked, the angrier he became. He just felt that he was really embarrassed by this matter.
Queen Ma smiled and said, "Chongba, you are wrong to think so."
"What's wrong? Girls can't speak for Su Jing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.
Queen Ma said: "Let's just talk about you and Mr. Su confessing your identity. Do you think this confession is necessary? Mr. Su already knew it. After staying in Niu Mansion for so long, Mr. Su never agreed to it. , then why does Mr. Su have to agree to it if you show your identity?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face jumped slightly.
Because what Queen Ma said was indeed true, Su Jing had actually known his identity for a long time, but her attitude had never changed.
If you are not an official, you are not an official!
"But sister, Su Jing is in prison now. This guy is so calm that he doesn't look like a prisoner. We have never seen anything like this."
Zhu Yuanzhang said puzzledly: "In these years of fighting, we have seen all kinds of tough people, but Su Jing is not tough, but indifferent. Being a prisoner is just like being at home."
Lao Zhu has been fighting for many years and has seen all kinds of people.
What cunning, cowardly, stupid, stubborn, stubborn...
But he had never seen someone like Su Jing.
Empress Ma said calmly: "Mr. Su is not an ordinary person, and naturally he doesn't do ordinary things. If everything is what you think, Chongba, then will you still pay so much attention to Mr. Su?"
Queen Ma didn't even think about exploring the reason, or there was only one reason, because he was Su Jing!
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, what Queen Ma said was true.
"Sister, don't tell me, we value Su Jing just because she is unusual."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "But this kid Su Jing always doesn't give us face. It's really annoying to say that I am also the emperor or not!"
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Mr. Su, have you ever slandered you in front of ministers? Have you ever refuted your face in front of ministers?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and immediately realized that although Su Jing would still criticize him after knowing his identity, he really paid attention to the occasion.
As long as there are outsiders present, he will not say anything that he cannot handle or that is embarrassing.
"Sister, are you saying that Su Jing has always been giving us face?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and said in disbelief.
"You just know?"
Empress Ma said calmly: "Who is Mr. Su? Chongba, you underestimate Mr. Su. Mr. Su knows all about this."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "So that's it. Let me tell you, once we talk to Su Jing alone, we will get angry. It turns out that the root is here. This kid is really a thief!"
Knowing this, Lao Zhu's anger immediately subsided a lot.
Queen Ma said: "Chongba, when do you plan to let Mr. Su out?"
"Wait a minute, this kid Su Jing needs to be put through a test."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied.
The anger has subsided a little, but not completely.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Chongba, you are really petty. You have to get this thing back. If you run away in anger, Mr. Su, you will regret it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "He dares! This territory of the Ming Dynasty belongs to us, where can he go?"
Being angry with Su Jing is one thing, but Lao Zhu will never let go of a talent like Su Jing.
Queen Ma shook her head helplessly, knowing that it would be useless to say anything else.
But knowing that Su Jing was fine, she felt relieved. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do too much and Zhu Biao was there, Su Jing could still contribute to the Ming Dynasty.
"By the way, what should I say to Lan's side? They are in a hurry."
Queen Ma changed her subject.
Chang Yuchun's family was particularly concerned about Su Jing's safety. The Lan family had already visited Queen Ma twice.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, please comfort me, but don't reveal too much for the time being. This is for Su Jing, and it's also a good time to see who are the monsters and monsters in the court."
After he finished complaining, Lao Zhu immediately became the wise and powerful Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang is not completely ignorant of the recent reactions from all parties in the court.
