Zhu Bai grimaced: "I'm sleepy."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is roast rabbit."
Zhu Biao quietly pulled Zhu Bai and whispered: "There is a reward for being alone."
Zhu Bai grinned: "As long as I stay with my father, the emperor and my queen, I won't feel sleepy."
Zhu Xi took the jewelry back to the palace and gave it all to Deng Zhiqiu.
Deng Zhiqiu took a hairpin and put it in her bun, and asked Zhu Xi with a smile: "Does it look good?"
Zhu Ming was slightly drunk, so he held her in his arms and kissed her hard: "She looks good. My Qiu'er looks good in anything she wears."
The female officer in the palace timidly stepped forward to remind Zhu Ping: "Your Highness, the emperor's rewards should be given to the principal concubine, who will distribute them to the concubines and concubines."
Zhu Feng turned cold and scolded: "Fart, my king's things should be given to whomever you like. If you want to be nagging again, please be careful that I serve you with a stick."
The female official shrank and said, "Your Highness, this is a palace regulation. If the emperor finds out and blames you..."
Zhu Xiang became angry instantly. He turned around, drew a stick from the side and walked over, saying viciously: "Have I given you face on weekdays? You, a sixth-grade female officer, dare to point fingers at me. It just so happens that today Let’s establish a reputation and see who dares to defend that woman.”
The female officer was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, please calm down."
Wang Xiaoyue came to stop Zhu Xi: "Your Majesty, the female officer is just doing her duty, not deliberately protecting the concubine. According to the law, the female officer is the emperor's personal order, just like the ministers in the court. Even if she makes a mistake, she must report it to the empress and the emperor. To punish.”
Zhu Ming scolded: "You, a daughter of a subjugated country, have what qualifications do you have to wear the jewelry of our Ming Dynasty, how do you have the qualifications to manage the king's harem, and what qualifications do you have to speak of the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Get out of my way, or I'll beat you too." .”
When the female officer saw that she couldn't stop him, she stood up and ran away.
Deng Zhiqiu hugged Zhu Ping and said, "It's Chinese New Year, so stop making trouble."
Zhu Ming then threw the stick angrily and went in to sleep.
When he woke up and looked back, he regretted that he had been too impulsive after drinking last night.
Fortunately, I don't know if the female officer didn't complain.
Nothing happened all night.
---
Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to play chess. After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded each of them with an additional ten taels of gold before letting them go back to sleep.
Zhu Bai drank a little vegetarian wine while having dinner.
The wine is sweet in the mouth, has no alcoholic taste, but has a strong aftertaste.
He was terribly sleepy now, yawning as he walked.
In the dark night sky, a ray of light flashed across, with a long tail, like a whisk or a broom.
Zhu Bai opened his mouth wide and stood there. He suddenly woke up and pointed over there: "Hey, comet."
Zhu Biao's face changed drastically: "The stars have changed. There will be a catastrophe."
Zhu Bai comforted him: "Don't worry, it won't happen. I'm telling you, this is just a stone from the sky, it just fell."
The little bit of reason he had left reminded him not to talk about the solar system or the eight planets, otherwise he would be regarded as a monster.
Zhu Biao couldn't listen at all. He thought he was just a child talking nonsense, and he just frowned slightly and said nothing.
Zhu Bai went back and fell asleep.
He was still a little confused when he was awakened by whispers outside. He stared at the carved mahogany bed top, and it took him a while to realize where he was.
Look, the sun is already rising outside.
There is no need to go to school or go to court today, which is a rare leisure time.
People outside continued to talk.
"The stars changed last night. The Heavenly Supervisor said that the five stars were out of alignment and the sun and moon were in phase..."
"Well, there was drought everywhere last year, and I don't know what kind of disaster there will be this year."
"Amitabha, I hope nothing big happens."
After Zhu Bai listened for a while, he suddenly realized that this was what Liu Bowen said in prison that day, an opportunity to persuade the kings to give up the idea of vassalage.
He frowned: That old sage wouldn't think that Lao Zhu would be afraid of some changes in the stars, and then he would give up the dark side and turn to the bright side, and his advice would flow from now on.
Just as he was thinking about it, another voice came from outside: "Hey, have you heard? The floor of His Royal Highness the Prince's palace collapsed last night and a big hole fell in."
"Ah, there is such a thing?"
"Yes. The emperor is furious and has already asked the Ministry of Industry to send someone to take a look."
Zhu Bai smacked his lips: It was really noisy this night.
There was another voice outside, and it was the little eunuch next to the eunuch in charge: "The emperor asked His Royal Highness King Xiang if he has gotten up. If he does, go to the East Palace. The emperor and the empress are waiting for him there."
Then Fugui knocked on the door: "Your Highness, are you awake?"
Zhu Bai sighed: Why should I be called over for a shoddy project?
I'm not a contractor.
The key point is that Lao Zhu specially asked someone to come and call me, so I had to go.
Zhu Bai got up as if being urged by wealth and wealth, washed himself slowly, and then passed.
He stood at the door of Zhu Biao's bedroom and woke up immediately.
Mainly because the hole was so big that it occupied almost half of the room, and the crack extended all the way to the edge of the bed.
If it were bigger, wouldn't Zhu Bai fall into the hole right after getting up at night?
He stared at the hole in a daze.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Here? Tell me what good ideas you have."
Zhu Bai turned around and found that Zhu Yuanzhang had stood beside him at some point.
Lao Zhu looked depressed as "I was owed eight million and couldn't pay back".
Zhu Biao and Queen Ma's expressions were not much better.
Zhu Bai could understand them: the new house he had spent a lot of money to build was about to collapse after only a few years of living in it, and no one would be happy to replace it.
Zhu Bai's face wrinkled: "This is a matter of the Ministry of Industry. I'm still a child..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's what the Ministry of Industry has been saying over and over again. It said that this place was built by filling Yanque Lake and the foundation is unstable."
Zhu Bai tilted his head and thought: It is also possible. Since it was a lake before, it must be full of silt, and maybe there is groundwater. Over time, groundwater took away the mud and the ground collapsed.
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "This land was chosen by Liu Bowen. He said that the 'Zhongfu Longpan' here is the 'Emperor's House'. I asked 200,000 people to move three mountains of stones to finally fill it." It was built flat, but after only a short time of living there, the wall cracked and the ground collapsed. Kill him to fill the hole, just right!"
Zhu Bai's heart beat wildly twice.
Damn it, it’s this Liu Shengun again.
Why am I always wiping his butt lately? !
Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father, the feng shui here is excellent. The subsidence is not Master Liu's fault."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Then the person who supervised the construction of the Ministry of Works was wrong, it was Liu Bowen."
Zhu Bai couldn't laugh or cry: When did Liu Bowen take charge of the Ministry of Industry?
The palace must have been built under the supervision of "Empire Grand Steward" Li Shanchang.
Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang just telling lies with his eyes open?
"Catch Liu Bowen." Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Erhu and said.
"According to the order." Erhu went immediately.
Zhu Bai pursed his lips: Tsk, I’ve been working on it for a long time, but all my efforts have been in vain.
Lao Zhu let Liu Bowen out on New Year's Eve and took him back on the first day of the new year.
This is equivalent to letting Liu Bowen spend the New Year at home.
Zhu Biao wants to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and said: "No need to persuade me. Don't arrest this bastard. He will definitely use Xingbian to make mistakes to stop the enfeoffment. This is called attacking first."
