"Grandma…why aren't we going back yet?”
At the same time.
In Taiping County.
The little boy in festive clothes blinked at the kind woman in front of him.
The other party was carrying a small vegetable basket. This time, he came out to buy some seasonal vegetables, as well as some chicken and fish.
These few days.
The little boy's husband had been persuading his old friends in the county town.
He asked them to promote Pinyin in the classroom.
Therefore…
A child without anyone to take care of him.
He temporarily entrusted it to Granny Ma.
But…
What surprised the little boy was…
A few days ago.
Although Granny Ma would also come out to shop and buy some side dishes, she would return soon.
On the contrary, today.
It was unusual.
"Grandma, what are you looking at?"
The boy was not even as tall as his knees. He asked curiously.
Empress Ma looked around.
Her eyes were filled with sorrow.
"Grandma is looking at this county town. It's different from before!”
"Hmm?" The boy was even more confused.
But the woman did not say much.
He just continued to watch.
As the empress of Ming Dynasty, she was the person who had stayed by the old master's side for the longest time!
More importantly…
It was during the long period of time when Emperor Hong Wu could read and write.
All the memorials in the court, no matter how big or small, were basically told to the old master by her.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Regarding the way of the country and all kinds of meticulous matters.
This Empress Xiao Ci, who had already been appointed by the Ming Imperial Court and the Imperial Family!
What he saw…
Those who understood…
In fact, it was higher, farther, and more detailed than the average person.
Just like now.
She looked around and saw nothing unusual on the street.
However…
In some corners and hidden places, there were already many figures with extraordinary skills.
There were so many of them!
Yet, he was a top-notch expert!
Hide together!
There were even extremely strict signals between them.
The entire Da Ming…
There was only one spot!
Emperor Hongwu of Great Ming!
At this thought…
Empress Ma's eyes flashed with reminiscence, sorrow, fear, and most of all, joy!
His emotions were too complicated.
As a result, the current her was clearly filled with joy and joy.
However, she was a little hesitant.
He wandered the streets for a long time and did not dare to go back.
He had disappeared for ten years!
Even she did not know how she woke up.
She only felt that everything that happened ten years ago was still yesterday to her!
Eldest Sun's departure!
The argument where Chongba threatened to cripple the empress!
When she finally closed her eyes, she heard that heart-wrenching cry again…
She was extremely complicated!
After nearly a month.
Only then did she slowly accept the 25 years of the Ming Dynasty and Hongwu Dynasty!
"He still came!"
In the end, she sighed.
"Who's here?" When the little boy heard this, he was extremely surprised and raised his head.
"A grandfather!"
"Is it someone Grandma knows? Grandma, do you remember?" The little boy asked in surprise.
"It's grandmother and husband!" Empress Ma smiled kindly.
"Ah?"
Without waiting for Empress Ma to speak.
He pulled Empress Ma with all his might and wanted to leave.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and go home!”
However…
It couldn't be moved!
Empress Ma looked at the bustling city." How can I meet someone who has disappeared for ten years and is already dead in the official records of the Ming Dynasty?”
Empress Ma was still hesitating.
The little boy squatted down weakly.
"Since grandpa came to find you, he must really want to see you…"
Empress Ma smiled gently.
Just as she was about to continue, she just couldn't get over it.
Suddenly…
A high-pitched laughter came from the nearby restaurant.
"Have you heard? This time, eight out of ten rich people in the county would probably be dragged to the beheading!”
"Hahaha! Awesome! This Old Master Hongwu was really decisive. These dogs had been fat all these years. They threatened and bribed others to take their land. Now, they finally got their retribution!”
"When these three financial policies were issued, don't tell me, I saw the person who cleared the land go to that rich Zhang's house that day. He was so scared that he peed and shit!”
"I saw it too!"
" It's just…Isn't it too cruel? The Song family in the county, the one that sells cloth, actually didn't do anything serious. They were just implicated by the higher-ups. Now, they have something against them and want to drag them to the execution ground…"
"Sigh, the women and children in the family cried together. It was so miserable!”
"What do you know! Weak personality!"
"The new law has just been established. How can we establish our might without blood?”
"Since he has embezzled our people's money and is willing to be their lackey, he has to admit it!”
"Yes! I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"
"Kill, kill, kill! It would be good if these people were killed until their heads were bleeding!”
At this moment.
Empress Ma looked away.
He quickly listened carefully.
However, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
"Little brothers?"
"This old Emperor Hongwu is already over sixty years old, yet he still has such a strong killing intent? I heard you say that once these three techniques are used, it will not only involve 10,000 people, it might even involve 100,000 or 100,000 people. If this massacre continues, won't it mess up the foundation of our Great Ming?”
"I say, granny, you don't understand!" On the side, there was a young man with a fanatical expression who was waving vigorously.
"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that a new official has to set fire to the new law.”
"The more the fire burns, the more afraid they will be!”
"You must know…"
At this point, the fanaticism in the eyes of everyone present seemed to soar to the sky!
However, the words that came out of his mouth made Empress Ma shocked!
"Kill one person! Intimidating a hundred people!"
"Kill a hundred people! Intimidating ten thousand people!"
"Kill ten thousand people! Intimidating tens of thousands of people!"
"If we don't kill them, how can we show the perseverance of our Great Ming's laws?”
"I won't kill him! How could he show Emperor Hongwu's determination in this matter?”
"If we don't kill them, how can we appease the resentment in the hearts of our people?”
"Only by suppressing the law with might can the law be established!"
This person was from the border of South Zhili, a person who drank in Taiping County.
He was spouting nonsense.
However, it was like a pestle of lightning that ruthlessly chiseled into Empress Ma's heart.
Her face was pale.
"This…How can this be?"
"Children!"
"We're governing the country now! We're governing the people!"
"Not killing enemies on the battlefield! Kill Chou Kou!"
"To govern a country, the most important thing is to govern! It's steady!"
"Not kill! It's chaos!"
"If this continues, the commoners will be in danger. In the end, you will also be afraid!”
"In the late years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a curse of witchcraft. The imperial court killed people with words. If they said that you rebelled, then you rebelled.”
"Even Empress Wei Zifu and Crown Prince Liu Ju were unable to escape and were forced to hang themselves!”
"What about you commoners?”
"Let me ask you, if someone really wants to take this opportunity to use their power for personal gain and implicate you, what should you do?”
"Are you afraid?"
"Do you have any businessmen in your family? Seeing that you all have an extraordinary way of speaking, your families should have some money to support your studies. But let me ask you, you all are speaking with confidence here. Have you ever asked your elders in the clan if they are afraid now?”
"Have you ever asked your father and grandfather if they are afraid now?”
These people did not seem to have expected this at all.
The old lady in front of him, who he thought was just buying vegetables, had such knowledge!
And the question she asked.
It was like a bolt of lightning that woke them up.
For a moment, everyone looked around and had a bad premonition!
However…
When they thought of something and wanted to continue asking for advice.
However, he discovered that…
The woman in front suddenly made up her mind.
"Chongba, Chongba!"
"I really don't believe that after these ten years, no one can control you!”
"Nonsense!"
The woman turned around.
He held the child's hand and left angrily.
At this moment.
This world-famous Empress Ma…
There was no longer the helplessness and worry from before!
All of a sudden.
He returned to ten years ago!
She was still that…
Empress Ma!
……
"Creak!"
The door slowly opened.
The old man's incomparably firm gaze instantly began to explore the surroundings.
In the courtyard.
First, there were a dozen brand-new stools and a desk.
In front of him was a huge wooden board that had been painted black.
Above.
A simple wooden courtyard had been built to block the rain.
It could be seen.
This was what the owner of this place used to teach.
The old man's heart trembled.
It coincided with the news he heard, and he became even more excited.
He began to slowly walk around each house.
However…
Because the small courtyard was not big, they finished walking around very quickly.
No one?
The old man's excitement was quickly extinguished.
His speed began to increase.
His eyes began to blink rapidly.
But…
He had nothing.
Not a single person.
The old man gradually became more and more anxious.
Behind the old man…
The Zhu brothers and Zhu Yunyan also helped to search.
But…
"Grandpa, there doesn't seem to be anyone at home. Did she go out?”
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm out for the time being!"
"It's not that there's no one. They're out temporarily!”
The old man quickly nodded.
In the next moment.
He quickly walked out of the courtyard.
He came to the door.
He started to look around.
In the beginning.
The old man obviously didn't see anything…
But suddenly…
The old man looked in a certain direction.
His body instantly froze.
The corners of his mouth opened and closed slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Hot blood gushed into his face.
It made his old face seem to have returned to his youth.
He wanted to shout…
But for some reason.
It was as if she had lost her voice.
“huang……”
Finally, the old man shouted in a hoarse voice.
But it couldn't be spread!
"Emperor…Emperor…"
One word after another was stuck in his throat.
He couldn't say it no matter what.
Where the mountain flowers were blooming, the spring scenery was stunning.
But in the eyes of the old master.
The familiar figure was getting closer and closer…
All the emotions accumulated over the past ten years.
Like a tsunami, it collapsed…
The old master's tears poured out!
He was overwhelmed by an indescribable surprise.
He finally…
He shouted out two complete words!
" Empress!"
……

Perhaps his skills were not up to standard, making everyone feel that he was being long-winded.
