A WASTED KNIGHT
The betrayed Friend

"After I die, marry Yongle and be

empress," said Yihua.

Miaojin was wide-eyed at her brother's request, no

allegedly in this sick time he actually asked her to marry Brother

His in-laws.

"What, you're asking me to marry him?" Ask

Miaojin with a surprised face.

Yihua nodded steadily

"Yes, be the queen of Yongle for the influence of the Xu clan in

this palace remains, please for the benefit of our clan. Anyway you've been

my long widow and husband have been interested in you since seeing you for the first time

when I proposed to me."

Miaojin was like being struck by a tickle at the words of his brother, his brother,

it was almost unbelievable that the Emperor actually liked him more than he did

her brother. But to Miaojin, Yongle is a bloodthirsty monster who

scary, a vicious psychopath. He knew, Emperor Yongle liked it the most

seeing his enemies being tortured in such a cruel way.

Hih, only crazy people like to watch people suffer

being tortured and dying slowly, Miaojin.

Miaojin made sure again

"Sister-in-law has been interested in me for a long time?"

"Yes, I know every time he looks at you looks from

her eyes, she wants you so much, yet she tries to cover it up if she wants to

in front of me," said Yihua.

Hearing her brother Miaojin's statement immediately felt

guilty, it turns out her brother secretly had long known that her husband

actually, he likes himself more. Suddenly Miaojin's face smelled with

eyes full of revenge.

"Sister, don't you remember what you did

Emperor Hongwu your in-laws against our father? Everyone knows dad is a man

he fought to expel the Mongols from China. But look, what

hongwu's reply to our father? He knew he had a bone wound

behind him fell from a horse against the Mongols

his youth. That wound won't heal for the rest of my life.  You remember when I ate goose meat

the wound returned to fester. So the doctor forbade me to eat

goose meat so that the wound does not recur" Miaojin told me

reminding her brother back.

Xu Yihua was stunned to hear her sister's story, her memory

back to the past

"Yes, I still remember Miaojin," Yihua replied with

wistful.

Miaojin's eyes began to shed tears, her voice trembling

temper

"But what did Hongwu do to our father?

Not once did he remember the merits of our father who had risked

he fought the Mongols to make him the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The paranoid emperor was too suspicious and afraid that his power would be usurped by our father. He sent his emissary

bring the roasted duck to the father and order him to make sure the father spends all the ducks

bake it. Dad can't resist it, he knows this is the time of his death, Hongwu

it has considered him a political competitor that jeopardizes its throne.  Feeling sad because you feel betrayed

and unappreciated, dad ate all those roasted ducks.  The next day I started to feel sick

his back. The wound on his spine again had bleeding and

festering makes father scream in pain and then died because he did not

I can endure that pain. It was possible that the emperor also administered poison in

the roast goose hastened father's death."

Yihua sobbed listening to Miaojin's story

"I didn't see you eat that roast duck

because I was married and living in the palace. I just heard

news of his father's death and rumors of his death. At that time I was very

angry at my in-laws for not appreciating my father's merits and still

doubting father's loyalty to the Ming dynasty. My parents believed more

his password and elite troops. But they are really afraid

with the loyal Emperor's men who threatened their influence on

Yihua still remembered, when he came to his father-in-law the Emperor

Hongwu, his father-in-law just said

"Your father has got everything he wants,

even her son became a Queen. But the political power of your father

scares me. One day he may rebel and overthrow me, I

just want to keep my power."

Miaojin cried a bit and then said back

"I should have listened to Uncle Tang's words

her best friend. Uncle Tang was also a general who helped Hongwu finish off

mongol troops on the border. When he succeeded to the throne, Hongwu offered

property and office to the generals who helped him. But only Uncle Tang

rejecting all the emperor's offers, he withdrew from politics and

he returned to his village to become a farmer. He once told dad

"Don't accept any gifts from Hongwu, because

he never gave anything away for free. Later you all

will definitely pay for it"

And his estimate turned out to be correct, Hongwu then

he also killed the generals who had helped him become king

heinous.  Only Uncle Tang survived

the murder he's committed."

"Yes I remember, it was after Uncle Tang's war

a visit to our house after he heard that Yongle was about to be married

with me. Too bad that time my father was lulled with treasure and power

hongwu promised him, which he eventually had to pay for

his death" said Yihua.

"And now you're telling me to marry a bad monster

that?" Asked Miaojin in an angry tone.

"Miaojin, don't you know what my husband's nature is?

Whether you refuse or not, she'll keep you as her concubine if necessary

forcing you. You don't think about the safety of our clan if you refuse

her proposal?" Tukas Yihua with a voice trembling with emotion.

 Suddenly Yihua

I coughed loudly for talking too much.

Miaojin looked at her brother anxiously and immediately ran over

to the table poured some water and drank it to Yihua.

"Sister, drink first."

"Thank you Miaojin," Yihua said.

Yihua again laid her body on the bed and tried

calmed himself. He was still worried about the disappearance of the clan's influence

Xu in the palace and the fate of his relatives who worked for the emperor if he died

later.

Upon seeing her brother begin to calm down, Miaojin said

"Alright Brother, I go home first, rest don't

think of heavy things again. I'm here tomorrow to see you."

Yihua nodded weakly, clasping Miaojin's hand tightly

and said

"Miaojin, consider this request of mine. Do it

for the sake of the Xu clan, if it is not exhausted the people from our clan in the Emperor's cabinet.

The eunuchs had now started to dare to influence the Emperor and his mischief

The emperor trusted them more than his friends in the past

who is faithful."

A moment of doubt loomed on Miaojin's face, yet a

a bad premonition flashed through his mind making him hesitate to fulfill

brother's wish.  But Miaojin is not

wanting to disappoint her Brother, she wanted in her last moment Yihua to be able to do more

calm and serene inward.

"Alright Brother, I'll consider it later.

But now that you're still the Emperor's consort, it wouldn't be appropriate if

we're talking about this. I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. Take care of

your health yes, may you recover quickly," said Miaojin to take a hug

her sister before they split up.
