"What's wrong, who messed with you? If you tell me, we will never spare him." Lao Zhu couldn't help but glared when he saw that Queen Ma's expression was wrong.
Queen Ma said with a straight face and no expression: "Who messed with me? You messed with me!" Queen Ma's chest heaved up and down in anger, and she snorted heavily.
"We? When did we offend you?" Lao Zhu was puzzled, "We are busy all day long, and we don't even have time to eat. We just came back, why did we offend you?"
Queen Ma said angrily: "Let me ask you, did you give up Han Du's official position?"
"This, this is a matter of foreign affairs, what are you doing?" Lao Zhu suddenly felt dissatisfied.
Empress Ma sneered and asked, "Are you trying to say again that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics?" ??
Lao Zhu frowned and said nothing, but glanced at Queen Ma.
Empress Ma was unreasonable and said pointedly: "In the past, when I needed my concubines, I just said, 'This is a family matter. Let me give you some ideas and help.' Now that I don't need my concubines, I just say, 'This is a family matter.'"
This is a court matter, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? Zhu Chongba, dare you to take care of all the principles in this world, right?"
Lao Zhu was scolded all over the face. Not only was he not angry, but he tried to persuade Queen Ma with a smile. He stepped forward and grabbed Queen Ma's hand. Lao Zhu whispered softly: "Sister, this is
We have our own opinions on the matter, so just leave it alone, okay?"
Empress Ma suddenly pulled her hand back from Lao Zhu's and said angrily: "I don't want to care either, but after Anqing found out that you gave Han Du the official position, he thought you wanted to regret the marriage. He ran to the house crying.
I came here to make a fuss, and said that I would rather not be called a princess and marry Han Du. Do you think I can ignore it? I can tell you that I only have a daughter. If anyone makes her life difficult,
Then I won’t make it easy for him even if I try my best.”
"Well, how does Anqing know this?" Lao Zhu was at a loss and said with a sigh: "When did I want to regret my marriage? It's just nonsense."
When Queen Ma heard this, she looked at Lao Zhu in surprise and asked, "Then why did you give up Han Du's official position for no reason? If you had no idea in your heart, would you do this?"
When Lao Zhu saw Queen Ma's puzzled expression and the misunderstanding deepening, he could only sigh and explain, "If I want to regret my marriage, wouldn't it be better to take Han Du's title? The reason why I took his official position is
Because when he was in Luzon, he was good at making decisions and sold the revolver to the locals."
"This fire blunderbuss is a sacred weapon of the Ming Dynasty. Han Du sold a hundred of them to the locals after receiving it privately. If this is not a small punishment, then where is the court's law and the majesty of the Ming Dynasty?"
Queen Ma has also heard of the reputation of the revolver. This is the best firecracker in the Ming Dynasty. This is an ordnance. What is the crime of reselling ordnance? How many heads does he have to grow, how dare he sell even this?
Thinking of this, Empress Ma's expression changed, and she couldn't help asking quickly: "He sold all the muskets and enriched himself?"
"If that doesn't happen, he won't make any money from the sale." Lao Zhu shook his head.
When Queen Ma heard that Han Du had not enriched his own pockets, the stone in his heart suddenly fell. As long as he did not enrich his own pockets, the problem was not too serious. If the emperor was willing to be lenient, his head could still be saved.
"If he didn't sell it for money, then what did he get for it?" Empress Ma couldn't help but asked curiously. Han Du took such a big risk to sell firecrackers, but he didn't get anything yet
If he sells it for money, then why bother with it?
Lao Zhu sighed and said, "Three million stones of grain were sold."
Empress Ma was stunned when she heard this, then she suddenly realized and said subconsciously: "Did Han Du exchange the gun for the Ganqing Soup and the food he brought back?"
Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "If that's what the girl said, it's not wrong."
"Then what's wrong with Han Du?" Empress Ma couldn't help but raise her voice and said righteously: "I think Han Du's move is not only innocent, but also meritorious. If it weren't for these three million stones of grain, Henan would be so
What do the common people eat, and what do we eat? In my opinion, Han Du's deal is worth it."
Lao Zhu angrily raised his finger and pointed at Queen Ma, trembling, "Just protect him. Is this a matter of business? Selling ordnance, and it is the best ordnance of the Ming Dynasty. What is the nature of this? If you don't punish him with a small punishment or a big warning,
Then from now on, there will be so many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, but they still can’t imitate others and reselling ordnance becomes a common practice, so what’s the point?”
"There is no need to discuss this matter. You go and talk to her in Anqing. Just say that we have never thought about regretting the marriage, and we will not do anything to Han Du. We have to give an explanation to the officials, right? After this storm,
Wouldn’t it be great if I reinstated Officer Han Du?"
Lao Zhu was still the King of Wu, who often went out to fight, and Queen Ma was the one who mobilized food, grass and weapons in the rear. She naturally knew that reselling weapons, no matter what the reason was, was a bad behavior after all. If the emperor didn't punish him, he would still
It's really hard to explain to the officials.
"Okay, I'll go and talk to her in Anqing." Empress Ma finally gave in, but she looked a little angry and complained to Lao Zhu: "Can't the emperor tell her in advance about this kind of thing in the future? To avoid causing this kind of thing
misunderstanding."
"Okay, okay, let's pass on the food quickly, we are all starving to death." Lao Zhu said haha and passed it.
Queen Ma knew clearly that the emperor was avoiding her words, but she didn't know what to ask, so she waved her hand and asked people to serve the food.
In the evening, the Han family sat around the table to eat.
Since Han Du went to sea, it has been a long time since the Han family sat together and ate together as they do now.
After the meal, Han Du took out a few boxes with a smile on his face.
"Mom, my son didn't bring anything with him when he went to sea this time. Please accept this." After saying that, he put a box in front of Mrs. Liu.
"Jingyun, this is yours." Han Du gave another one to the girl and handed the last one to his brother, "Han Shu, you have it too."
Mrs. Liu glanced at the box and asked curiously: "What is this?"
After saying that, he opened the box casually. A total of twenty round and lustrous pearls came into view, and Mrs. Liu was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
Han Jingyun and Han Shu also opened the box. They also had pearls, but they only had ten.
Mrs. Liu was surprised and delighted. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She couldn't help asking: "What kind of pearl is this? It's so good."
Han De took a look and said, "This should be a South Sea pearl."
After saying that, he glanced at Han Du and asked, "Where did you get these pearls?" Han De saw that these pearls were very similar to those Han Du sent to the palace, and they were in better quality. He couldn't help but worry.
Han Du guarded the palace and secretly intercepted the things that were supposed to be sent to the palace.
If someone were to expose this, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. "What's wrong, who offended you? If you tell me, we will never spare him." Lao Zhu couldn't help but glared when he saw that Queen Ma's expression was wrong.
Queen Ma said with a straight face and no expression: "Who messed with me? You messed with me!" Queen Ma's chest heaved up and down in anger, and she snorted heavily.

Lao Zhu frowned and said nothing, but glanced at Queen Ma.

If this was revealed, it would be a serious crime of bullying the emperor.
