Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 866

"But the loyalty of local officials is uncontrollable. We know very little about them, and there are bound to be spies planted among them."

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and then he said:

"What if I ask you to select a group of people in advance and hand over the work immediately after cleaning?"

Zhu Biao shook his head slowly and then expressed his thoughts.

"I don't think that's possible. If we bring the person who will be handing over there in advance, it will not only be troublesome, but it will also easily alert the enemy."

"Once those people realize something is wrong, they will probably immediately eliminate the hidden dangers and remove all clues."

"Even if we catch someone by then, they'll just be small fish thrown out to die. The real big fish will all be hidden."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and after a moment he said:

"It seems like a conspiracy. If that's the case, let them place it there!"

"Dad, you mean..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said:

"Let them plant their spies while we make arrangements in the rear. If the Northern Yuan really intends to invade from Jin, we'll give them a surprise!"

"This time when you go to Jin, draw troops from Ningshanwei in Henan to accompany you. Let them deal with those small fish that don't involve the third brother."

"As for those big fish involving the Third Brother, I have an idea. You just need to..."

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered something to Zhu Biao, and then two bursts of laughter were immediately heard from Fengxian Hall.

At the same time, while the Zhu father and son were discussing the issue of Jin, Wei Wu finally arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace.

Looking at the solemn and elegant palace in front of him, Wei Wu hesitated in front of the palace gate for a while, and then walked in resolutely.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Queen Ma sitting in front of him, so he put on a smile and quickened his pace to walk over.

"Aunt, let me tell you, I brought you something good this time. Take a look, I guarantee you'll like it!"

As he spoke, Wei Wu flipped his wrist and took out a beautifully packaged box from the system warehouse.

"Look, this is called an eye massager. Use it with the eye cream that comes with it, and it's guaranteed to make you look seven or eight years younger!"

"And this one, it will automatically massage you just by sitting on it, and it will completely dissipate the fatigue of the day in no time."

"Although it requires electricity, I'll get you a mobile power bank later and have the palace maid charge it every day..."

As soon as he took out the eye massager, Wei Wu immediately took out a sofa-sized massage chair and placed it in front of Queen Ma.

However, just as he was about to continue speaking, Empress Ma raised her hand and patted the seat next to where she was sitting.

"Xiao Wu, put these things aside for now. Come here. Auntie has something to tell you."

In fact, since he entered Kunning Palace, Wei Wu never looked at Empress Ma's face, mainly because he didn't dare to look.

It’s not that he was really afraid that Empress Ma would hit him. It was just a feather duster, and it wouldn’t really hurt or kill anyone.

The reason why he was so nervous was that he didn't want to see the angry expression on the face of Empress Ma, whom he truly regarded as his aunt.

However, now, hearing Queen Ma speak, Wei Wu could only slowly look up even though he didn't dare to.

The result was different from what he imagined. Queen Ma was not angry with a stern face, but her kind eyes showed a look of heartache.

Afterwards, Wei Wu came to the couch and sat gently beside Empress Ma as requested.

"You kid, you don't eat well, you don't sleep well, and you have to worry all day long. You've lost weight."

As she spoke, Empress Ma reached out to a basket covered with silk beside her, uncovered the silk and took out a piece of clothing.

"This dress was made by my aunt based on your previous body shape. It may not fit you well now."

While Queen Ma was speaking, she was trying the clothes on Wei Wu with her hands, but her expression did not look very satisfied.

Wei Wu didn't say anything, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. As the saying goes, a loving mother sews clothes for her son.

Although Empress Ma was not Wei Wu's biological mother, she was his mother-in-law after all, so Wei Wu had to call her "Mom".

Even without the relationship with Zhu Yuxuan, Empress Ma always treated him with care and love like her own son.

Wei Wu knew in his heart that it was precisely because of this protective love of her that Empress Ma was angry about him going to the Japanese pirates.

Otherwise, just go. Even if you die, what difference will it make? Will Empress Ma lose a piece of flesh?

He was not her biological son, so what did his death have to do with her? Even if it concerned the destiny of the country, so what?

The Ming Dynasty will last at least two hundred years, and she won't live to see that day, so why bother herself with this?

Maybe the initial contact was just for the sake of interests, but as time passed, Wei Wu could feel that he was truly cared for.

To be honest, he would rather Empress Ma beat him with a feather duster than see his aunt unhappy.

So, after Empress Ma said, "It doesn't fit so well," Wei Wu immediately said:

"Aunt, don't worry. I'll eat as much as I can when I get home and make myself fat so that my clothes will fit me."

"You are such a poor kid! How can you eat like that? You'll get yourself sick from eating too much! I'll just have your clothes altered."

While speaking, Empress Ma put the clothes back into the basket, then looked at Wei Wu and continued:

"Do you think that this time when you come to Kunning Palace, I will definitely give you a beating with a feather duster like your elder brother did?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu's face froze.

You... I'm really touched by this! You suddenly scared me like this, it was a bit unexpected!

Wei Wu thought secretly in his heart, but responded with a smile on the surface.

"I have thought about it, but it seems like you're not going to hit me, right?"

"hehe."

Seeing the tentative look on Wei Wu's face, Queen Ma laughed unhappily.

"Auntie really wants to spank you for being disobedient. Here, the feather duster is right there, do you see it?"

As she spoke, Queen Ma raised her hand and pointed at a table not far away, on which lay a feather duster.

In fact, Wei Wu saw it when he first came in, but he was not stupid enough to bring it up.

But now, hearing the tone of Queen Ma's voice, Wei Wu immediately came over with a playful smile.

"If you want to hit me, then I won't. Auntie, you really love me too much, dear~!"
