Bright Spring

At this moment, the door of the palace was opened, and the prince Zhu Zhanji walked in.

Zhanji's real age is over ten years old, and his imaginary age is twelve. He has fully grown into a child and a half.Although his face was still a little childish, he was already familiar with the etiquette, and the above saluted and said: "My son pays homage to the queen mother."

Looking at Zhan Ji, Zhang's hostility retreated a little, and more sadness and heartache suddenly came to his heart.She stretched out her hand lovingly and said, "Come to the queen mother."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Zhanji walked over obediently, he was much more sensible than before.

Mrs. Zhang stretched out her hand and stroked Zhanji's face, seeing that he was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked somewhat similar to his grandfather, but was not the same as his father's face.

While looking at her son, she sighed with complex emotions.

Zhan Ji raised his head, and said angrily: "Did the second emperor make you angry? When I have power, I will find a bunch of crimes for that hateful emperor and burn him alive! My son! To kill his whole family and all his party members, and then choose those civil officials in the court who open their eyes and talk nonsense to compile history, and make up more anecdotes and anecdotes for history writing, so that he will be infamous for thousands of years! To vent my anger on my mother."

"Who taught you?" Zhang asked.

Zhanji faltered and couldn't answer.

Mrs. Zhang also didn't want to ask more questions, but she knew that someone must teach these words, otherwise the ten-year-old child would not think so carefully.

She stroked her son's face and said, "Zhanji is filial, and it is not wrong. That person has nothing to do with good or bad, but that he is too capable, and living is a threat. You think so, it has nothing to do with good or bad, it's just for My family's position is solid..."

Having said that, Mrs. Zhang returned to reality; she looked at her closest relatives, and her heart was filled with helplessness and heartache again.

As a mother, she watched helplessly that her precious son was about to lose everything, and was worried about Zhanji's life, and Zhang's heart was twisted like a knife for a moment!

After a while, Haitao, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, entered the room.Haitao stepped forward and said: "This servant has seen the empress and the eldest prince." After speaking, he bowed and stood beside him.

Mrs. Zhang said to Zhu Zhanji with some reluctance: "Go down. The queen mother said a few words to Haitao."

Zhan Ji bowed respectfully: "I would like to obey Yi's decree."

Haitao stepped forward, leaned over and whispered a few words beside Mrs. Zhang.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang pressed her palm on the armrest, gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng and others, are so ungrateful and ungrateful! Didn't His Majesty issue an order to punish their nine clans? His Majesty is too merciful!"

Haitao hurriedly said: "My lady, please calm down. This is because no one persuaded the emperor. The ministers only hated it secretly, but they didn't speak out, for fear of offending the king and treason too much; only Commander Tan invited everyone The emperor only issued an order to arrest the criminals and send them to jail...and those people belonged to noble families, Commander Tan would not dare to do anything without the imperial order."

Mrs. Zhang frowned, and whispered: "Tell General Tan not to feed them, and starve them to death in prison!"

Haitao said: "I will definitely bring my mother's words to you. Commander Tan dares to do it. It's hard to say..."

Mrs. Zhang calmed down a little, and said, "Just let General Tan deal with Liu Sheng's family."

Haitao bowed and said, "Your maid obeys the order."

Hai Tao said softly again: "The emperor ordered Xue Yan, the minister of Dali Temple, Tan Qing, the commander of Jin Yiwei, and the slaves to secretly investigate the death of the late emperor."

"Oh?" Mrs. Zhang nodded, and soon lost her mind. She was thinking about something and didn't speak for a long time.

When Mrs. Zhang came back to her senses and saw that Haitao was still by her side, she waved lightly and said, "Whatever the Holy Majesty tells you to do, you should do it well."

Chapter 568 Don't Be Happy

"She's insane."

In a courtyard in Fengyang, a little eunuch delivering meals looked at Ma Enhui and muttered softly.

Ma Enhui looked dull, sitting in front of the table like a fool.Her body was dirty, it seemed that she hadn't showered and washed for many days, and her hair was messy.

What's even weirder is that she picked up an unpeeled orange and immediately put it in her mouth to chew.She ate the bitter and hard-to-bite orange peel, and the orange juice|water flowed from the corners of her mouth and chin, leaving it all over her neck.

What is the difference between this appearance and those who are born with dementia?

Next to the young eunuch, there was an old eunuch with pale hair and an old court lady with wrinkled face.The old eunuch also looked at Ma Enhui carefully, then turned around and said, "Has this matter been reported?"

"The little one told the people above. But no one paid any attention, and no one said they want to see the doctor." The little eunuch said.He then whispered, "She has no relatives. I heard that her mother's family also died after being exiled in Liaodong. No one in the world cares about her life now. I think she herself thinks it's meaningless to live like this."

"You know a lot!" The old eunuch said with a blank look.

The little eunuch didn't seem to realize that it was a reproach, and he whispered again: "This is the way of the world! She used to be the empress of the mother world, alas..."

Officials staying in Fengyang ordered that people not be allowed to speak with Ma Enhui and other people with special identities.Usually eunuchs and maids come to this courtyard, they are like dumb, unable to speak a word; but seeing that Ma Enhui has gone crazy, everyone is much more at ease.

The old eunuch thought for a while and asked, "When did she become like this?"

The little eunuch thought for a while, and said: "By the way, Wu Zhong came here before. That Wu Zhong has many acquaintances in Fengyang. It seems that he has arranged for someone, and he will send some money every one or two months; the superior also acquiesced. "

"Oh..." The old eunuch gave Ma Enhui a complicated look.He said, "Let's go, you little thing, mind your own business and live long!"

The three of them packed up their things and left the main room.

Ma Enhui still didn't move, but two lines of tears flowed silently on her face.

She picked up the orange in her hand blankly and took another bite.The bitter taste of the peel filled her mouth and between her white teeth again.But she still savored the bitter taste with relish.

Compared with the life she has lived for so many years, suffering is really a good taste, at least it has a taste?

Since the fall of the Jianwen Dynasty, Ma Enhui spent most of her days "guarding the mausoleum" in Fengyang.As the little eunuch said just now, the left-behind officials in Fengyang and the people in the palace are forbidden to watch over Ma Enhui's eunuch and maid and talk to her.

There is not even a book here, and no one talks.For several years like this, the boring and dead atmosphere has always enveloped Ma Enhui.

She feels that time is static, there is no difference between yesterday, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.She often wanders between memory and reality, and sometimes she can't tell whether she is in the memory or the awakened reality.

The little eunuch just casually said a few words, but they spoke to Ma Enhui's heart... She has no relatives, no one cares about her life and death, and she herself feels that living like this is meaningless...

However, after eunuch Wu Zhong visited the day before yesterday, Ma Enhui found that she really wanted to live!

Wu Zhong told her quietly that Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu led an army of 20 and wiped out the main force of the army of 70 in Huguang (the information is not accurate), and the world was shocked.Afterwards, the "Great Generals of Ping Han" Zhang Fu of the United Kingdom, Generals of the Navy Chen Xuan, and General Liu Sheng all believed that the King of Han was invincible and completely succumbed to the wrath of the King of Han; Yu Bu, surrender to the King of Han!

At this point, the Dajiang waterway from Huguang to the capital was completely open under the cannons and iron hooves of the King of Han.

The Hongxi court is over.

Zhu Gaoxu is about to lead his army into the capital and become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty?When Ma Enhui thought of Zhu Gaoxu's face, she only had that teenage face in her mind. Everything was so crazy that she was unexpected and unimaginable.

It was hard for her to imagine that the young face full of tenderness and compassion was so brave when galloping on the battlefield.

Perhaps all of this is not surprising. When the Yan Palace used violence to overthrow the Jianwen court, the Gaoyang County King played a big role.The greatest hero of King Yan's "pseudo-dynasty" will attack those rebellious officials and thieves when he gets angry!

At that moment, Ma Enhui's mood was very complicated and entangled.

She couldn't hide a kind of joy... even hope in her heart.In fact, Zhu Gaoxu is also an enemy!His hands were stained with the blood of the officers and soldiers of the Jianwen Dynasty; it was just an internal strife among rebellious officials and thieves, why should Ma Enhui be happy for one of them?

She forbade herself to be happy.

But her desire to survive is indeed very strong!She suddenly didn't want to die, she didn't want to die very much, she wanted to live!

Therefore, Wu Zhong revealed that the Hongxi Dynasty was about to end, and after she knew the news, she soon realized the danger... If the emperor and empress in the palace remembered her from Fengyang, would she be executed?That's very possible.
