Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 20 Another Death

"Good! Good! Very good! Emperor Zhu is really majestic. You are using the emperor's mindset on your family. It seems that I have been too indulgent to you."

As Queen Ma spoke, she slowly stood up from the stone bench.

He seemed calm, but in fact he was burning with rage, like a volcano that was erupting.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Biao quickly stood up to comfort his mother. He was afraid that his mother would run into the imperial study, grab his father's ears and beat him up!
He believed that with his mother's current temper, his father would definitely not even have the courage to fight back.

"Mother, please calm down. This is all for the future and hasn't happened yet. I don't think it's necessary for you to go find Father right now, otherwise Yang Chen's identity will be exposed, right?"

After saying this, Zhu Biao hugged Empress Ma's arm and asked her to sit back on the stone bench.

At this time, Queen Ma gradually calmed down, but she looked at her son with an embarrassed expression.

"Biao'er, you've suffered a lot. I didn't expect your father to be so cruel and merciless that he could even kill you.

But don't worry, from today on, your mother will never allow your father to speak loudly to you again!

If he dares to do it again! We will take you back to Fengyang. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, can pass on the throne to whoever he wants. Anyway, we are not lucky enough to enjoy it! "

In the whole world, perhaps only Empress Ma dared to speak to Zhu Yuanzhang like this.

After all, based on Zhu Yuanzhang's love for Empress Ma, many people say that during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was only one person who could mobilize troops without the tiger talisman.

That is the founding queen of the dynasty!
Faced with his mother's seriousness, Zhu Biao knew that he had no choice, as the next person to be in trouble would be his father.

Having angered her, it would be an unrealistic wish for Zhu Yuanzhang to live a good life afterwards.

Queen Ma was shaking all over due to anger and it took a long time for her to recover.

Then he asked Yang Chen what happened next.

"Since Biao'er failed to become the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who will eventually take over the throne of the Ming Dynasty?"

Empress Ma must have been very sad about the death of her son, but sadness cannot solve the problem, judging from the information we have now.

All of the Ming Dynasty’s future plans were disrupted.

The son that she and her husband had raised well was unable to take over the Ming Dynasty. Whoever controls the Ming Dynasty in the future will determine its future direction.

What she was worried about was that the Ming Dynasty would eventually fall into the hands of a prince who had not received an imperial education.

If this happens, I am afraid that the people of the world will suffer, and even the Ming Dynasty will be endangered.

Zhu Biao also showed curiosity about this question at this time.

Since he is no longer with us, the greatest possibility is that the Ming Dynasty will fall into the hands of his eldest son, Zhu Xiongying.

That is, he is the most favored crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after careful consideration, Zhu Biao was worried about the signs of a fight for the throne.

He was not there, and his mother was not there either. His father was old at that time. As people get older, the imperial power will gradually lose its control over the court.

This was Zhu Biao's guess and explanation. The fratricide and the recurrence of the Xuanwu Gate Incident were the scenes he least wanted to see.

These are Zhu Biao’s current speculations. What really happened needs to be told by Yang Chen himself.

"Um, Queen, do you want me to say that the next person to inherit the throne should be your grandson, the eldest son of the Crown Prince, Zhu Xiongying?"

Compared to what he said just now, Yang Chen's words were already weaker. It was the twelfth year of Hongwu, and he had already found out everything. This was what Zhu Biao had told him personally.

According to historical records, it was less than three years before the death of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince.

Just a dozen minutes ago, the news of Zhu Biao's death was announced, and now people want to know whether Zhu Xiongying will naturally inherit the throne.

Yang Chen really didn't dare to say it directly.

After all, women are very sensitive. Knowing that her son would die young, and if she knew that her grandson would die even earlier, Yang Chen was worried that Queen Ma would really not be able to bear it.

What if Empress Ma fainted from emotional excitement, and Zhu Biao knew that he would end up like his father, with an old man sending off a young one.

He was really afraid that after Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, he would send people to capture him and put him in the imperial prison to torture him in order to avenge his sister and son.

Then he can truly understand what it feels like to live a life worse than death.

Then a hesitant expression appeared on his face.

"Why do you react like this? Did something unexpected happen in the future? Are these accidents related to Xiongying?"

Queen Ma was very smart and could tell something was wrong with Yang Chen just by observing his words and expressions.

Especially when she saw the hesitant expression on the other person's face, she felt a pang in her heart and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

An ominous atmosphere began to spread among the few people. Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Yang Chen! This matter is different from mine. I am over thirty years old after all, and Xiongying is less than six years old now. You must not say anything nonsense! Think it over carefully before you speak."

After saying this, Zhu Biao began to sweat coldly on his temples. He was really scared.

Even when he spoke, he couldn't help but use a pleading tone.

Unfortunately, faced with the mother and son’s request, Yang Chen could only sigh to express his apology.

Things have developed to this point, and even if he wants to hide it, he can't do so.

Especially Zhu Xiongying, he was too close to death, not to mention that Empress Ma also passed away shortly after his death.

Just now, in order to avoid making Zhu Biao too excited, he did not directly mention the death of Empress Ma.

But now, the questioning from the two people forced him to make a decision to give up in his heart.

Judging from the current situation, the Zhu family will not let anything happen to him easily. They are hiding Zhu Xiongying’s affairs now in case something unexpected happens to him in the future.

By then, the people in the Zhu family will blame him for this matter.

Besides, what Zhu Biao said was right. Zhu Xiongying was less than six years old. Yang Chen naturally would not let anything happen to such a young child.

After a complicated psychological struggle, Yang Chen waved his hands and patted the little Yang Chen on the left and right sides with opposite colors, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I want to make this clear first. I am sorry, but I will not choose to conceal it.

Because once an accident happens in the future, the lie will naturally be exposed, and everything I have done will be resented by you.

In this case, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. For some things, it is better to talk about them openly than to deceive yourself.

You said, right? "
