As soon as Tie Hyun's impeachment came out.
At this time, Zhu Di's face was really ashen.
The previous ones can be explained, but this one is really unexplainable.
If he knew that Li Xiao would do this, Zhu Di would refuse anything he said.
The key is that Zhu Di is very relieved about Li Xiao.
I didn't pay attention to what he was doing in that small county town.
No matter what, this silly kid shouldn't change these things. This is reverse scale!
Big beads of sweat were already flowing from Zhu Di's forehead.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di and said, "Zhu Di, is this possible?"
Zhu Di immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Father, I really didn't know about this, and I just learned about it. If it is true, I will definitely punish him severely. Even my son-in-law will be severely punished. Please." My father thought that because Li Xiao cared about the people, because Li Xiao was infatuated with the princess, and because he was an official for the first time and didn’t know the depth of it, he was given a lighter sentence."
The words echoed in the main hall, the silence was terrifying!
now,
Zhu Di never dared to continue explaining.
There is no point in saying anything except asking for mercy, otherwise the wrath of the Holy One will surely be incurred.
When the civil and military officials saw this scene, some were happy and some were worried.
Especially the officials on Zhu Yunwen's side were overjoyed.
King Zhu Di of Yan, you also have today! !
This is called "Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies." Although Li Xiao can help you, he can also harm you. Let's see how you explain it today.
Just when everyone was about to watch the joke.
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke.
"I already know that now that the matter has been completed, you, King Yan, cannot escape the involvement."
Upon hearing this, the people on Zhu Yunzhen's side felt even more happy.
Great, King Yan can't escape the blame, and the Holy One will definitely punish him, so he, the crown prince, doesn't have to fight.
However, the next sentence shocked everyone.
"Li Xiao of Dong'an County, Peiping, tried to reform the law. His intentions were good, but he committed an unforgivable crime. However, he was sincere and dedicated to serving the country and the people. I will give him a chance to prove himself."
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Here we come to draw up an imperial edict. We will seal Dong'an County as the Ming Dynasty Special Economic Zone for one year, and allow the county magistrate Li Xiao to reform the law, guaranteed by the King of Yan Zhu Di. The results will be seen after one year. If it succeeds, it will succeed. If it fails, Yan If the king is guilty of the same crime, he will not be leniently punished!"
The words fell.
Everyone in the main hall changed their expressions. What is going on? ? ?
Even Zhu Di himself was confused.
Why does such a big thing feel so light and it's over? ?
Father is today.
Immediately, Zhu Di thought deeply and felt ecstatic.
This is wonderful!
What is the concept of sealing Dong'an County as a special zone and allowing political reforms?
This allows the Yan Palace to have the right to change the Holy Will according to its own wishes.
Although it is only a county, we can still see the Holy Spirit's intentions from this.
This is a test, a test of yourself.
Once Dong'an County is established, he will definitely become the crown prince directly, which is the last test given to him by his father.
"Thank you, Father, for your permission!"
Zhu Di quickly thanked him.
But others don’t want to.
The original intention was to impeach Li Xiao, but why did Li Xiao become more arrogant?
royal charter
Then the next step is to make Zhu Di the crown prince.
They guessed wrong, but they were also half right.
Because what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking at this time was.
If he decides that Zhu Di will be the crown prince, then he will abdicate. He already feels that his health is getting worse. He knows his destiny at sixty and will not be able to survive for a few more years.
If Li Xiao can succeed, it proves that he is a real talent. Zhu Di is very capable and does not need an old man like him to point his fingers.
If it were Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang would not abdicate. After all, Zhu Yunwen's foundation was too shallow. Without him, he would not be able to support the government.
But this test was not aimed at Zhu Di at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang's real idea was to target Li Xiao alone.
Li Xiaocheng, Zhu Di, if not, we still have to think about it.
The real test for Zhu Di will never be that simple, it will be another one.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely must not do this."
Tie Xuan jumped out and shouted: "If Li Xiao is like this, officials from all over the country will follow suit, and the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was calm and he said: "Why, are you questioning my decision? You have the final say whether the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos or not? I have made up my mind. If anyone mentions this matter again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Tie Xuan's face did not change and he said: "Absolutely not. This has never happened in thousands of years. Your Majesty must not set a precedent in history. There will be endless troubles in the future."
"Your Majesty, please think again!"
Other officials from Zhu Yunwen's camp also knelt down.
After all, if Li Xiao has this royal title, if he really does something famous, King Yan will definitely take the throne, so will they still be able to reap the benefits?
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "Every one of you has been secretly cursing me in private on weekdays, saying that the salary I gave is too small and there are too many things to do. It's better now. I proposed to increase both the salary and the time for rest. Instead, you refuted it. One thing in front of you and another behind your back. Come here, remember the names of these people. If your salary is increased in the future, they will not have a share."
This sentence is more lethal, and many people shut up immediately.
Of course, there are some who are not afraid of death and continue to yell at His Majesty to think again.
There are also those who see that their names have been registered. If there is no salary increase in the future, it is better for everyone to not increase it, so they shout even harder.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was not too angry this time, mainly because he had already met Li Xiao and knew his inner thoughts and strategies.
Coupled with Li Xiao, changing the law is not something too important.
It's just a strategy of increasing salary and vacation time to solve the problem of "I feel aggrieved because I don't have enough money". It's not too serious.
This has led to today's situation.
Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang gave a direct order to beat these people, including Tie Xuan, with twenty strokes of a cane on the spot until they fainted, and the court finally became much quieter.
With the sound of retreating, the officials retreated like a tide.
When Zhu Di returned to his mansion, he felt a little light when walking.
Today has been full of twists and turns!
"Dad, what's going on? Why do you look so happy?"
Upon seeing his father returning, Zhu Gaoxu immediately stood up to greet him.
"happy event."
Zhu Di laughed and said.
As soon as the happy event was announced, all three brothers gathered around.
Pour water, serve tea, and squeeze your father's shoulders.
"Dad, have you been appointed as the crown prince?"
Zhu Gaochi asked excitedly.
"It's not that bad, but it's almost here!"
Zhu Di took a sip of tea and calmed down his excitement.
As soon as he said what happened in the palace today, everyone was filled with joy.
Dong'an Special Zone, the royal power charter, what does this mean? It means that my father has become the candidate for the crown prince, and there is only one last step left!
"Imperial Charter! Oh my god, this is too exaggerated."
Zhu Gaoxu's mouth turned into an O shape. Compared with his brother-in-law, he looked like a scumbag.
"I'm a little envious that Li Xiao is so favored by the emperor."
Zhu Gaochi kept smacking his tongue, I'm afraid Li Xiao's name will spread throughout the Ming Dynasty!
At this time, Zhu Gaochi said worriedly: "One year is a long time, will there be any changes?"
"It doesn't matter if it's long, it doesn't matter if it's short."
Zhu Di said: "If my father really chooses me, this final test is indispensable. My father has actually planned to abdicate for a long time, but because of the health of the prince Zhu Biao, he has been delayed again and again. And I am here." He is in his prime now, and once he becomes the crown prince, it will probably be his time to ascend the throne."
Zhu Di had already analyzed the rationale.
There is a reason why my father is so cautious.
He could feel that his father's body was already weak.
Zhu Di guessed that his father himself might have felt it, and that in two or three years, his body would no longer be able to survive. This would be the test before his death.
Zhu Gaochi asked again: "What does it mean to succeed and what does it mean to fail? What should Dong'an County do to satisfy the emperor's grandfather?"
Zhu Di was slightly startled. This eldest son asked a good question. He thought about it and said:
"This depends on the Holy Spirit's will. If we can continue to have news similar to the sermons that benefit the people, the Holy Spirit will definitely be satisfied."
Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said: "You don't have to worry about this. With your brother-in-law, you will definitely be able to do it. I know your brother-in-law's ability best. It will take less than a year and half a year to manage Dong'an County properly!!"
As soon as this statement came out, several people deeply agreed.
Maybe Zhu Di himself didn't realize that this test was not prepared for him at all. The real test was still waiting for him.
"Okay, you guys continue to be in the capital, behave well, and don't cause any trouble."
After Zhu Di confessed, he went out and immediately stayed in the yard. He only waited for a moment before Ju Chen, who had not returned home that night, appeared.
"Your Highness, we have checked it out. Many officials have passed by that road recently, but one of them came to the capital recently but did not return the same way."
Ju Chen handed over his hand and reported the task assigned to him by Zhu Di yesterday.
"Who is this person?" Zhu Di asked.
Ju Chen said: "It was His Highness's son-in-law Li Xiao. He disappeared on that section of the road. There was a village nearby. There were guards in uniforms for several miles around to check strictly. Outsiders were not allowed to enter at all, and the subordinates did not dare to rashly Go in, but I guess Li Xiao should be among them."
Zhu Di was slightly startled.
The son-in-law Li Xiao disappeared on that stretch of road, and the Holy Master was also on that stretch of road.
Li Xiao didn't return home again.
Could it be that.
During this morning's morning visit, the Holy Emperor was extremely kind to Li Xiao.
Not only did he not care about his faults, but he was also given privileges. He had long felt that something was wrong.
I see! I see!
Zhu Di felt ecstatic in his heart.
I'm afraid Li Xiao has already met his father.
And please the Holy One! !
Zhu Di's thoughts quickly guessed this.
It was done so meticulously, and the Jinyi Guards were interrogating him. I'm afraid Li Xiao himself was kept in the dark and didn't know that he had met the Holy Master.
So I can treat my father as an ordinary person.
Only in this way can we truly gain the approval of our father.
In this case,
There is no need to sue Li Xiao, otherwise he himself might be panicked.
Zhu Di ordered: "There is no need to check the next one."
Outside Nanjing,
A small village thirty miles north.
"In the little garden, dig, dig, dig."
"Plant small seeds and bloom small flowers"
At this moment, in the yard, Li Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair, digging a hole with a hoe, and then dropped a seed and buried it.
"Master Li, what are you sowing?"
Seeing Li Xiao digging holes and planting things in the open vegetable garden in the yard, Erhu couldn't help but ask.
After all, he had to report everything to the Holy Spirit.
"This is something for the old man. He didn't accept payment yesterday, which made me look tacky. I'll give him another gift as a reward."
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "By the way, Zhang Hu, when this place blossoms and bears fruit, you can tell your old man and give him a surprise. Don't reveal it in advance."
In fact, Li Xiao doesn't intend to keep certain crops by himself. After all, once the crops are grown and sold, they become seeds and will be leaked out sooner or later.
And he had long planned to let these crops take root and sprout in Daming.
Now that I have met a destined person, he should be an angry young landowner who cares about the people, so let's treat it as a fate and send him away.
Erhu nodded and asked: "When will it bloom and bear fruit? Can't you tell me secretly what this kind of thing is?"
Li Xiao laughed, shook his head and said: "There are some things that are meaningless to say. Only by leaving a trace of suspense and expectation can life be more hopeful."
Erhu: "."
At this time, there was a creak and the courtyard door was pushed open.
"Young man, why did you run out if you didn't take a good rest?"
The visitor was none other than Zhu Yuanzhang. The moment he saw Li Xiao, his mood inexplicably improved.
"Old man, you came to see me again."
Li Xiao grinned, took a few steps forward with his wheelchair, and turned in a circle, saying: "Look at my body, I can't move my legs, but my hands are fine. I feel bored when I stay in the room, and I wander around. Get some sunshine and your injuries will heal faster."
"Hey, what is this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chair Li Xiao was sitting on. It seemed to be very convenient. It also had two wheels that could be pushed and moved by hand.
Erhu cupped his hands and said: "Master, this is a wheelchair. It was a drawing drawn by Mr. Li yesterday afternoon, so I asked a craftsman to build it."
"wheelchair?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
I thought to myself that this kid is really smart, he can even draw drawings and design such things.
"That's right, this is called a wheelchair. It can be used when you are too old to walk, or if you have a broken leg like me. If your hands are inconvenient, you can have someone push it."
As he spoke, Li Xiao moved back and forth to demonstrate the function.
"Yes, yes, when we get older, we will also build a wheelchair like this."
With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Er Hu and said: "Zhang Hu, don't throw away this drawing. It will be used in the future."
Erhu nodded and said, "Yes, head of the family."
It was already noon. After Zhu Yuanzhang finished working in the palace, he rushed over without even having lunch. He looked at Li Xiao and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Li Xiao shook his head: "Not yet."
"It's just right that we haven't eaten, and we haven't eaten either. Let's eat something together. You should eat something lighter to recuperate." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu and said, "Zhang Hu, go get two bowls of noodles."
Li Xiao said rudely: "That's wrong. You need to eat well to recuperate. Big fish and meat to supplement protein can help you recover quickly. Give me a whole roasted chicken and a roasted duck."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned and said angrily: "You're not welcome, kid."
I have left good things for you in the yard. Why should I be so polite? Li Xiao chuckled and said, "Old man, what's wrong? I can't bear to part with you. I see that you are upright and upright and treat money like dirt. You shouldn't be stingy, right?"
"You boy"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled helplessly and looked at Erhu, "Let's get another roast chicken and a roast duck."
Li Xiaode pushed further: "By the way, it would be even better if there was another pound of beef."
Erhu: "."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "You kid, can't you finish what you said in one breath?"
Li Xiao said: "A few more grapefruits for dessert after dinner."
Erhu: "."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Go!"
Erhu bowed and exited the yard, thinking to himself that this boy is really brave.
Zhu Yuanzhang touched his beard and said: "You boy, it seems that you are also the master of extravagance and waste. The people can't eat meat all year round. It's better for you. I'm afraid you have to eat big fish and meat for every meal, and you have to eat fruits for nothing." Dessert after meal, luxurious!”
Li Xiao smiled and explained: "Old man, your consumption concept is not good. I am not sick. Besides, if we don't eat more, the chickens, ducks and poultry raised by the common people cannot be sold and are unsalable, and they are reluctant to eat them. , cannot be exchanged for food.”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "It's all nonsense. If you don't eat it, someone will eat it. I think you are just greedy for pleasure and have become a habit."
Li Xiao said: "Yes, there are always people to eat, why can't I eat? I have done so many good things, shouldn't I enjoy it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was unable to argue for a while.
Li Xiao teased: "Ah, no one thinks that eating chicken and duck for a meal is just enjoyment, no, no, no. The saints all eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can we ordinary people just do that?" Can’t you eat some meat?”
Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that this boy was a little naughty, but he couldn't explain it, so he said: "You are not an ordinary person. Yesterday you said that you are the great master of Qingtian. Besides, how do you know that the Holy Emperor eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day?"
"Then there's no need to think about it? Of course."
Li Xiao said with a smile: "Okay, old man, am I just recovering from my illness? Don't you just think that I am a bit extravagant and eat good food, but the common people can't afford it? Just wait, and it won't be long before ordinary people can have big fish." Big meat as a companion, of course. Only in the counties under my jurisdiction."
Li Xiao's system still contains the "Large-scale Pig Farm Manual", "Large-scale Chicken Farm Manual" and "Large-scale Duck Farm Manual".
There are also various breeding techniques and disease prevention and control
With these things in place, the small-scale peasant economy can be developed first, and the housing areas can play their role.
The abundance of meat is actually the birth of aquaculture.
The adoption of scientific and large-scale breeding technology has greatly reduced the production cost of meat, making the price of meat more approachable.
"Can you make the people eat meat every day?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and thought, if you can make everyone in the county have meat to eat, we will make you a high official and reward you with a prince!
No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked. In this era, eating meat every meal is simply an idiot's dream and is impossible to achieve.
Li Xiao nodded: "Old man, if you have a chance, if you are free, you can come to me in Peiping and I'll be the host. I'll pay for all the food and drinks, so you can have fun."
If you don't say it, we will go there. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "This is what you said. Then we will have to see if you can make the whole county eat meat!"
With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his hands and walked towards the room.
"Old man, help me, I can't get up here."
Li Xiao pointed to the steps connecting the room and the yard.
"." Zhu Yuanzhang still pushed the wheelchair and lifted Li Xiao up, thinking that your wheelchair can't do it either!
"Are you still used to living here?"
"Get used to it, what's not to get used to? The air is clear and quiet, but it's a little too quiet. If you have nothing to do, old man, please come and keep me company. That Zhang Hu of yours can't even make a fart for a long time, which makes me bored. died."
The two sat at the table, drank tea, and chatted casually.
Not long after, Erhu brought the food.
On the table were all the best dishes, including beggar's chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, plump and juicy roast duck, a plate of soy sauce beef, and a few grapefruits.
Li Xiao started eating and drinking heavily.
And Zhu Yuanzhang really only had a bowl of noodles and garlic.
"Old man, let's eat together."
Li Xiao pointed to the dishes on the table.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "I have no appetite, so we just want to eat some noodles."
Zhu Yuanzhang was tired of eating the food in the palace during this period, and was not in a good mood. Now he wanted to eat noodles.
"It's time to eat, it's time to drink, don't take it to heart if you have something to worry about."
While chewing the beef, Li Xiao comforted him: "Old man, I can tell at a glance that you are worried now."
"How did you know?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Li Xiao. This boy was very observant.
"There's no need to guess, isn't it written on your face?"
Li Xiao smiled and took out a porcelain bottle from his body, and then planned to pour it into Zhu Yuanzhang's noodle dinner, "I added this to make you feel refreshed after eating, and you can let go of any unhappy things. "
"you!"
Seeing Li Xiao pouring something into the holy bowl, Erhu immediately stood up and planned to test the poison with a silver needle.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned for him to retreat.
"What did you add to our bowl?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Spicy guy."
Li Xiao explained: "If you eat noodles without oil and spicy food, you won't have a soul."
As he spoke, Li Xiao poured some spicy oil into his noodle bowl. Then pour the cut beef into a bowl to make a bowl of beef noodles and take a big bite.
This spicy oil is developed by Li Xiao himself. It contains chili noodles, pepper noodles, minced ginger, minced garlic, salt and chicken essence. Add hot oil and pour it over. It smells so fragrant~~
Li Xiao specially brought some of these when he came from Peiping.
Sometimes I don’t have a good appetite, so I make some, it’s spicy and appetizing.
"It smells good! This is enough flavor!"
Li Xiao took another big bite.
Seeing that Li Xiao was also eating, Zhu Yuanzhang moved his chopsticks.
He dubiously picked up the noodles with wooden chopsticks and took a bite.
Um?
A slightly spicy taste explodes in the mouth, and there is also a fragrance.
The original bowl of plain noodles seemed to have completely changed its taste.
"It's delicious, but a little spicy on the tongue."
"Spicy tongue is enough, it's appetizing. Do you want to add more?"
"Then add a little more"
"I'll add some beef too, because the plain noodles won't make you happy."
"Okay, add some more."
In this way, the two of them immersed themselves in making rice. Zhu Yuanzhang was sweating profusely after eating, and his whole body was sweating. After eating, he was still a little unsatisfied.
"Yum! So delicious!"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt energetic.
The whole body is sweating, and once the sweat breaks out, one's mood improves.
Seeing this, Li Xiao smiled and explained:
"This is the main flavor in spicy oil. It is spicy. It can make people feel happy. It can also help digestion, promote blood circulation, improve immunity, detoxify, and most importantly, detoxify. Old man, you are sweating. , most of the toxins in the body have been removed, and then take a bite of grapefruit. The grapefruit contains melatonin, which can promote sleep, and you will not have insomnia at night."
While talking,
Li Xiao pushed the grapefruit away from his hand and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Did you prepare this dessert for us?"
"You know we can't sleep well at night?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
It turns out that this guy is very considerate and has already prepared it for us.
"Isn't that right? I know some medical skills. I just took a closer look and realized that old man, you haven't been able to sleep well for a long time. The bags under your eyes are too heavy. This is caused by too much pressure. So I let you eat spicy food to release the stress and pain in your heart. Things on my mind.”
Li Xiao suddenly felt confused and said: "No, old man, why are you under so much pressure? The old man must be seventy years old. As the saying goes, at fifty you know your destiny, at sixty your ears are attuned, and at seventy you can follow your heart. You don't want to do that now? There should be so much pressure, so pay more attention to your body."
"Why."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Originally, we were very happy, but suddenly, the eldest son left at will. We still have a family business, and I don't know who to pass it on to."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Xiao and said, "Young man, please give us some advice on what we should do."
"My condolences, old man."
Li Xiaoxin said that it was no wonder that the old man had a weird temper. It turned out that his son was dead, and asked: "How many children does the old man have left?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while: "Three."
Li Xiao smiled and said: "It's simple and easy to handle."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "How to say?"
Li Xiaodao: "I know, old man, are the three sons fighting at home? I met them when I was a county magistrate there. If you ask me to say, divide it equally, one share for each person, no one should fight. .”
Zhu Yuanzhang: "."
His family business cannot be divided.
So Zhu Yuanzhang said another way, "Our business is a big business. Once it is divided, it will collapse and no one will get anything."
"oh"
Li Xiao understood and said: "That is to say, even if the sons fight, you can only give it to one person. Is this what you mean?"
"That's pretty much it."
Zhu Yuanzhang actually already had an idea in his mind, and he wanted to see what Li Xiao had to say.
Li Xiao immediately replied: "That's easy to handle, just pass it on to the most capable son."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The one with the strongest ability is not the eldest son!"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "I see you, this is because you are imprisoned by the old Confucian ideas. It doesn't matter whether you are the eldest son or not. If you are not capable, one generation will be inferior to the other, and within a few generations, your family will fail sooner or later! "
Li Xiao has seen too many cases in later generations.
How many large family businesses have collapsed because of incompetence and rapid decline. On the other hand, only large businesses that are not family-owned can become bigger, stronger, and more glorious.
If the ability is not good enough, he will be defeated sooner or later. Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "The rules of our ancestors can be changed if they are changed?"
Li Xiao was speechless. Aren't you an old angry young man? Why are you so old-fashioned?
"Why can't it change? Times are progressing, history is progressing, and old ideas and concepts should also progress. Why are you so old-fashioned?"
Li Xiao finished the noodles at this time, wiped his mouth and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Do you want to give it to a son who is capable?"
Li Xiao said with a smile: "That's right, don't be so old-fashioned. They say that establishing elders does not establish virtuous people. I believe that establishing virtuous people does not establish elders. The virtuous people will live in them. If you don't listen to my advice, you will wait for the ruin of your family business. Come on, I’m not bragging, I’m still good at business.”
After saying that, Li Xiao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile and said: "Old man, what kind of business are you doing? I see that you are an honest person. Do you want me to give you a hand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "."
Erhu: "."
"Master, let me clear the dishes."
Erhu wisely cleared the dishes and broke the embarrassing situation.
Then exit the room.
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed slightly silent at this moment.
Although Li Xiao is a little clever, his thoughts are too out-of-the-box, but they are in line with his own ideas.
He really wanted to make Zhu Di the crown prince, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing the confused look on the old man's face, Li Xiao smiled and said: "Old man, if you are really having trouble making a decision, I have an idea. Just give it a try."
Zhu Yuanzhang said curiously: "Tell me about it."
Li Xiaodao: "All three sons, let's give it a try and take charge of the family business. Whoever succeeds will get the upper hand. I think you are still strong and strong now. It's still early for you to pass on the family business. You need more tests."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "No, I've been dizzy recently. I'm old and have to accept it. All the guys who were with me back then are gone. I'm afraid I won't have a good life in a few years."
"Old man, stretch out your hand and let me see."
Li Xiao stretched out his hand and motioned to feel his pulse.
Yes, this guy is still a miracle doctor. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly lit up. Why didn't we think about this? We just felt so anxious because we felt that our body was not working well.
"Do you still know medical skills?" Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be calm and said.
"Know a thing or two."
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand had already been stretched out, and Li Xiao took and felt the pulse. With his perfect medical skills, he quickly discovered the signs.
"Old man, your health is not bad. You feel dizzy because you work too hard. Fortunately, you met me. I will give you a prescription to decoct and take once a month. If you put down what you are doing now , leave it to my sons to take care of it, live happily, relax, and have at least fifteen more years of good life."
Li Xiao explained with a smile.
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "Do we still have fifteen years of good life?"
Every time the imperial doctor in the palace took his pulse, he didn't dare to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang was made to think that he was about to die. They were really a bunch of quacks.
In fact, it’s not the fault of those doctors, because Zhu Yuanzhang’s career was too strict. The son of the imperial doctor would inherit the imperial doctor. There would often be some mediocre people, whose virtues were not matched, and they could not see the problems that were too profound or simple. I can tell a thing or two, how can Li Xiao's perfection-level medical skills be as powerful as Li Xiao's?
Li Xiao could tell the condition of his body and bones at a glance.
"Remember, the premise is that you immediately put down everything you are doing and enjoy your old age in peace. Don't worry, don't bother. With the prescription I gave you, there won't be any big problem." Li Xiao said with a proud smile.
"That recipe, write it to us quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.
"I don't have paper or pen." Li Xiao spread his hands.
"Zhang Hu!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
Soon, paper and pen arrived.
Li Xiao wrote the recipe and handed it over.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt as if he had found a treasure. He looked at it briefly and stuffed it into his arms.
"By the way, how many years would it have been had we not met you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
Li Xiao counted with his fingers and had an idea in his mind: "At most, it will be within the range of three to five years."
"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded excitedly.
When people get old, they are also afraid of death, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception. Naturally, he wants to live a few more years.
"Thank you, young man. If it really works, I'll give you whatever you want!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "I don't want anything, I don't lack anything. These prescriptions are nothing more than some conditioning drugs, which can be prescribed by more powerful doctors. There is nothing special. The most important thing is that you can no longer worry Now, as elders, let it go when it’s time to let it go, occupy the manhole and let the young people show off.”
"Okay, you said we should stand in the latrine, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded, but he was more happy.
He found that Li Xiao spoke very casually, but he had a good heart.
After thinking about Li Xiao's advice, Zhu Yuanzhang finally made up his mind that it was time to let the young people show off.
"But the question is, which son is better?"
Zhu Yuanzhang changed his explanation and asked: "Our youngest son is not bad, but he is young and has not given him a chance to show off. He may be better than our second son."
Zhu Yuanzhang compared his second son to Zhu Di.
The younger son compared it to Zhu Yunwen and asked.
Li Xiao said: "You will know if you try it, whether it is a mule or a horse coming out for a walk."
"That makes sense!"
Zhu Yuanzhang finally heard the answer he wanted to hear, and laughed loudly: "Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading!"
In fact, some people already have the answer in their minds and want to do it, but they are hesitant and ask people everywhere.
Once someone tells the answer in his heart, he will really make up his mind.
And the final test Zhu Yuanzhang planned to give Zhu Di was this, a test!
Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di supervised the country respectively.
See how they behave when they actually sit in that position.
Zhu Yuanzhang once did such a thing.
This was his method of abolishing the prime minister system and killing Hu Weiyong.
He deliberately left to escape the summer heat in the mountains. After walking for a month or two, he handed over all the power of the country to Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.
Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang left, Hu Weiyong showed his flaws, made mistakes and became more and more arrogant.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word when he found out. It wasn't until the evidence of Hu Weiyong's crimes was overwhelming that he went out and killed him.
Incidentally, the system of prime ministers that had lasted for thousands of years was also destroyed.
Now, he plans to use this method to test out the country's crown prince.
This is the final test for Zhu Di, and he is optimistic about Zhu Di.
If Zhu Di makes no mistakes in supervising the country, he will be established as the prince. If not, then go back and become the vassal king honestly. He can only train Zhu Yunzhen well.
"Okay, kid, talking to you today has made us feel better."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and strode away, intending to implement it.
"Old man, you are leaving again without saying hello?"
Li Xiao said angrily, thinking, "I just leave every time I say it. I don't want to lose face?"
What is Zhu Yuanzhang's identity?
He never reported where he went, let alone when he left.
But he wasn't angry now, nor did he care about Li Xiao, so he turned around and walked back.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you don't tell us, we have forgotten. Do you think we should let the younger son try it first, or the second son?"
Li Xiao frowned slightly: "Oh, you decide for yourself. If it doesn't work out, then go back and catch him and let nature take its course."
"That makes sense!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and left again.
"This old man"
Li Xiao shook his head, got up and planned to lie down on the bed. After all, he was still a sick person and needed more rest.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang turned back and stretched out his hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Bring it here, you spicy guy."
"."
Zhu Yuanzhang took the spicy food and left with satisfaction.
This time, he swept away the gloom of the past.
I feel extremely cheerful and have everything figured out.
Especially after knowing that if he put down what he was doing, he would still have fifteen years of good life, he no longer hesitated at all, and a big stone finally fell to the ground in his heart.
afternoon.
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace with lightning speed.
Zhu Yuanzhang would ask Zhu Yunwen to come to the Yangxin Hall to teach him every day, but today he saw no one, so he asked, "Where is Yunwen?"
The eunuch replied: "I see that Your Majesty, Emperor Yunzhen, is not here. Are you going to pay homage to your father in the mourning hall? Do you want my servant to come and tell you?"
"No, I'll go there."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and walked towards the mourning hall.
Not long after, he saw Zhu Yunwen in the mourning hall guarding his father's spiritual tablet and sobbing quietly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart softened and he walked over, "Yun Wen."
Zhu Yunwen turned his head, tears welling up in his eyes, "Grandpa."
It was this filial piety that made Zhu Yuanzhang so hesitant.
"Come with Grandpa. Grandpa has something to tell you."
"yes."
Zhu Yunwen wiped his tears and followed.
In the past two days, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the palace, Zhu Yunwen would come to the mourning hall to guard him. He knew that the situation was over now, and only in this way could Zhu Yuanzhang be moved.
And he, Zhu Yunwen, did indeed do it. If not for this, Fang Xiaoru would be filial every day. Zhu Yuanzhang felt deeply that he would have kicked Zhu Yunwen out long ago.
Arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Zhu Yuanzhang got straight to the point and said: "Yunwen, now grandpa wants to ask you one last question, you want to fight for this prince, right?"
Why did grandpa suddenly say this to himself? It was too sudden. Was grandpa stimulated by something? Didn't he like his fourth uncle?
Zhu Yunwen was both confused and excited. He pretended to be afraid and crouched on the ground, "My grandson dare not say anything."
Being used to Li Xiao's straightforwardness, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little anxious and said directly: "Say it directly. If you don't say it, you will have no chance."
It’s all said and done.
Zhu Yunwen's scalp was already numb with joy. There was no way out of doubts, and he immediately became anxious.
"My grandson wants to!"
Zhu Yunwen said excitedly: "My father has always been a role model for my grandson, and my grandson wants to be like his father."
"Okay! Only with this courage can you qualify to fight. Otherwise, I will not give you this opportunity."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, found a piece of paper, and wrote down the names of three people, "You don't have any team, so these three people will be given to you as your confidants. I will give you a chance to fight. If you can win against your fourth uncle, you will fight." , If you can’t fight, we will keep you safe for the rest of your life.”
"Thank you, Grandfather!"
Zhu Yunwen excitedly took the piece of paper. After Zhu Yuanzhang walked away, he secretly unfolded it and saw the names of three people written on it: Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qitai.
These are the three people Zhu Yuanzhang gave him that he recognized. After all, it would be impossible for Zhu Yunwen to compete with Zhu Di directly, so he must be given some help.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Yangxin Hall and took out two pieces of paper, one with Zhu Yunzhen written on it and the other with Zhu Di written on it.
Crush it into a ball and throw it on the table, disrupting the order.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, touched a ball, and unfolded it to take a look.
It says: Zhu Yunwen.
In other words, in the order of the two men overseeing the country, Zhu Yunwen came first and Zhu Di came last.
This is what God has given us, and we are fair!
It’s time for the rules that have been established for thousands of years to change, and those who are capable should follow them!
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote and drafted an imperial edict:
The position of the crown prince has been disputed for a long time. After careful consideration, I decided to supervise the country in order and observe the ability to handle state affairs. Based on this, I decided to limit the crown prince's position to four months. In June and July of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen, August Month, September Zhu Di.
