Chapter 41 Since our old Zhu family is for the country, we can only give up our family
Yingtian Prefecture, Forbidden City.
Zhu Qi took Xu Miaoyun all the way back to the imperial city, placed Xu Miaoyun in the bedroom, and let her do whatever she wanted, and then hurried to find Queen Ma.
When the inner officials heard that His Highness of the Liao King wanted to see the queen, they did not stop him. Although the prince could not be in charge of the rear, Zhu Yuanzhang was an emperor who attached great importance to family affection. He had long said that there was no need to inform the rear of the rear, that is, all princes could go to Queen Ma at will without asking for instructions from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Queen Ma is Zhu Qi's only expectation now. She was just thinking about picking up a girl. Before the woman Xie didn't know married her, she would get Xu Zengshou's beautiful maid to balance her mentally, but she didn't expect that there was no maid. She was Xu Zengshou's sister and Xu Da's biological daughter Xu Miaoyun!
What do you think your daughter of a Duke wears like a maid all day long?
Zhu Qi only hopes that he can get away with Queen Ma and then let Queen Ma settle the matter.
But Zhu Qi was just led into the yard by the inner official and saw that in the yard, there were two people sitting on the table besides Queen Ma!
One is Zhu Yuanzhang wearing the emperor's regular clothes, and the other is Xu Da wearing the Qilin official robe!
Zhu Qi never expected that the two people he was most afraid of meeting would meet at the same time. Zhu Qi turned around and wanted to leave.
When the inner official saw His Highness of the Liao King was leaving, he hurriedly grabbed him and said in a low voice:
"What are you doing?"
"Ah, adults and children can't get involved in eating. I'll come over later."
When the inner official heard that there were people here in His Royal Highness, he opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say, or Zhu Yuanzhang had a good look. He looked at Zhu Qi from afar and shouted:
"San Lao, come here and you happen to have something to come to you."
When Zhu Qi heard this, his body shook and his heart became ruthless. Anyway, he stretched his head and shook his head and slashed his head. Both of the main owners were there, so that was just right. When things started, they said they were afraid of a ball! Take a try and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle! Maybe he would replace his fiancée Xie with Xu Miaoyun!
Xie has never seen it, Xu Miaoyun has seen it. It is really beautiful, especially after holding a small hand today, I felt even more excited.
Zhu Qi thought this way, straightened his back and walked inside. The closer he got to Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, the more blank his head became. He walked to the front and bowed, his mouth trembled for a moment, and stood next to Queen Ma and said nothing.
Zhu Yuanzhang held a pair of chopsticks and said leisurely:
"Didn't the inner official say you have something to ask your mother? What's the matter? You said?"
Zhu Qi wanted to mess with the words "Aba Aba", but before he could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang had already laughed and said:
"Do you want to say that a Taoist priest explained that you had a fate with a woman in her previous life and gave her half a jade pendant. The woman was at the Duke of Wei's house, so you brought the person out and now you are here to find your mother for this matter?"
Zhu Qi was stunned: "Dad, do you know everything?"
How could Zhu Yuanzhang not knowing it? He smiled and talked about the causes and consequences he knew.
When Xu Da came over and said that, he asked someone to investigate carefully. In the seventh year of Hongwu, although the Jinyiwei had not been officially established, the later Jinyiwei's Tiqi teams were all acting as intelligence personnel by Zhu Yuanzhang. There was a turmoil in Yingtian Mansion, and that would be known immediately.
After a little inquiry, you will know the tragic love story that the Taoist priest said, half a piece of jade and other things.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a very smart person. When he saw these information, he saw two words: fart!
Looking at Zhu Qi's later actions, I know that these are all set up by Zhu Qi. Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unclear. Logically, it should have been arguably passed to the emperor and the empress after the legend became popular, and then he became curious and went to see who this girl who was destined to be with his third brother in his previous life.
Those who are pretty and have clean backgrounds will probably help the third brother take it down and make a good story.
This is actually Zhu Qi's original plan. Zhu Yuanzhang has analyzed all of them now. If he guessed it, it really shocked and surprised. It seems that Jiang is still old and deserves to be the legendary emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was right when he looked at the expression on Zhu Qi's face, but he quickly asked:
"Then why don't you wait for two more days and snatch it in a hurry?"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished his question, Zhu Qi instinctively wanted to tell it all, but thinking of the resolute expressions on the faces of those brothers, especially Xu Zengshou said frankly: "I, Xu Zengshou, even if I die, I will never betray His Highness the King of Liao!"
Considering that Xu Zengshou helped Zhu Di in history, it was really a life-saving deed, Zhu Qi gritted his teeth and said:
"Actually, I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that I was in love with the maid. I also asked my mother, father and Duke of Wei to help me!"
After Zhu Qi said this, Xu Da's expression was strange, while Zhu Yuanzhang smiled without saying a word while touching his beard. Queen Ma glared at Zhu Qi and scolded:
"I'm not honest. Your father just arranged for a quick horse to go to Li Qi, Xu Zengshou, Li Jinglong and others to ask, and they knew the whole story long ago! They all asked, it was Xu Zengshou who heard it awkwardly and said that Xu Miaoyun was going to get married, so you took the people to grab it directly. If that's true, you are the King of Liao and you are snatching your wife from the common people. Do you know that you are snatching your marriage?"
Zhu Qi didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so fast, but he thought about it. He was walking, the trolls were galloping, and he placed Xu Miaoyun in the imperial city, so he couldn't help but comfort the little girl and say some witty words.
But I never expected that Xu Zengshou, Li Jinglong, and Li Qi would all call each other like dogs. What did you say before? At the table, they drank big gulps and ate meat. They were all half-brothers?
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile:
"But the third brother is doing this like me, he acts meticulously, has plans, and has ideas. When encountering sudden changes, he can make a quick decision and dare to take risks. The most important thing is that the third brother is loyal!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his thumbs up, and Queen Ma glared at him and scolded:
"Your son forced his daughter to rob the people and colluded with the nobles. Now he is still helping them with cover. If you don't tell the truth, it will be a good thing for you. Is there anyone who teaches your children like this?"
Seeing Empress Ma get angry, Zhu Yuanzhang also coughed twice awkwardly. Xu Da said disagreeingly:
"Sister-in-law, I don't think your majesty is right."
Xu Da is used to calling his sister-in-law and doesn't call him the queen much on weekdays. Unless it is in public, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da are old brothers, so naturally they won't mind, let alone Queen Ma.
Zhu Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no big problem.
Just listened to Xu Da continue:
"The King of Liao has talent, meticulous and loyalty. I feel at ease to marry his daughter. However, the little girl is still too young now. Why not wait for me to take His Highness to the northern border to experience this time. After I come back, it will be not too late to get married."
Xu Da just finished saying this, Zhu Qi was stunned. Getting married? She and Xu Miaoyun?
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. He planned to let Zhu Qi go to the northern border to experience the matter, but he planned to do it secretly without hiding it from Empress Ma. When Zhu Qi arrived in the northern border, Empress Ma had to agree even if she did not agree.
As for Queen Ma, of course she didn't know. At this time, she was stunned when she heard Xu Da say something and said:
"The third brother goes to the northern border?"
Xu Da suddenly woke up and seemed to have let it go, but he was also stunned.
The three of them were stunned on the spot. When Zhu Qi saw the scene, he was a little confused about what was going on, but Zhu Yuanzhang simply said:
"Since I've missed it, I won't hide it. The third brother talked to me before. He took the initiative to ask him to follow Xu Tiande to train in the northern border and fight the Northern Yuan Dynasty! He is a good son, my good prince of the Ming Dynasty. Since I am the emperor, I can't be like an ordinary family. I want both the Gu country and the Gu family. How could I take all such good things for me? Since I'm for the sake of the country, I'll give up my family. I've discussed with Xu Tiande. This time he went to Datong, so I'll take the third brother with me."
Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking loudly and stared at Empress Ma in a daze. Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang a few times and sighed. Although she couldn't bear to part with her son, she also knew that what Zhu Yuanzhang was right.
The Zhu family has already won the world, so they can't be like ordinary people. Since they have to give up their families for the sake of the country.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Empress Ma relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his toughness just now and comforted him with kind words.
The inner official and Xu Da next to him had the eyesight, and only Zhu Qi watched his father coaxing me there, but the inner official pulled Zhu Qi and hurriedly left, and Xu Da followed him, and the couple had the rest of the matter.
Zhu Qi's head was still confused, and he has confirmed two things at present.
It seems that his fiancée is not Xie, but Xu Miaoyun!
There is also bad news, that is, what I said last time was hot-headed, it seemed to be coming true. Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to go to northern Xinjiang with Xu Da, and he was leaving soon!
