"What?? The imperial master beheaded the left governor of Huazhong, who was accompanying the capital, in public??"
In the imperial palace of the capital, Zhu Gaochi was correcting memorials at his desk, and then he saw the memorials from Nanjing.
hiss.
After reading it, Zhu Gaochi took a breath, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
He couldn't help but start to worry about his brother-in-law.
Is your brother-in-law too bold?
Let all the officials go to court without saying anything, and then write the imperial edict in public and kill the generals in the main hall.
If he hadn't understood his brother-in-law's character, Zhu Gaochi would have almost thought that the Ming Dynasty had a powerful minister and a great rebel.
It doesn't matter to me, it's just the imperial grandfather's side.
"If the emperor's grandfather has a grudge, then my brother-in-law's reform project will not be possible. I have to go to the emperor's grandfather to find out what's going on. If Long Yan is displeased, I have to coax him immediately. The emperor's grandfather is old now, so it's better. Coaxed."
Zhu Gaochi thought so and hurriedly got up and walked towards Hongwu Palace.
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
Zhu Zhanji was holding cakes in his hands and bumped into Zhu Gaochi as he entered the palace.
"Zhanji, what are you doing here?"
"Mom was afraid that dad would have to work hard, so she made this black date health cake and asked me to give it to dad."
Zhu Gaochi felt warm in his heart, his son still loved him.
"Dad, don't worry, let's go and go with your father to meet your great-grandfather."
Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and felt that it would be better to take his son with him. Having a child around can always adjust the atmosphere.
Not long after, the two arrived at Hongwu Palace.
At this time, in the courtyard of Hongwu Palace, Zhu Ningyun was taking his adopted daughter Li Wuyou in the front row, chatting and joking with the Supreme Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.
It turned out that Zhu Ningyun was so anxious after hearing the news about Nanjing that she immediately brought her daughter to visit to avoid the emperor's grandfather being angry.
After all, what Li Xiao did, not only because he had no imperial power, but also was extremely audacious.
As soon as Zhu Gaochi entered the door, his son Zhu Zhanji saw Li Wuyou and happily approached him, "Wouyou, I specially made black date health ointment for you to try."
When Zhu Gaochi heard that his son had forgotten about me before he even married a wife, he smiled and scolded: "You little heartless boy, you just said you would give your father food, but in the blink of an eye you went to please the little girl."
Zhu Zhanji said: "Dad, you are over-nourished, so you have to eat less. This is for your own good, my child."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing.
Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes at his son, then hurriedly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and handed over his hands: "I have met the emperor's grandfather."
"Gao Chi is here." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and waved his hand: "Sit down, come and stay with grandpa. Someone, bring a chair."
Zhu Yuanzhang can be considered a person who died once. When he looked back, countless scenes from his life flashed through his mind.
Most of those pictures were about battles, and there was a lack of care for their children and grandchildren.
From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang began to pay more attention to family relationships. The princes and grandsons often came to accompany him every day. He was able to enjoy the happiness of his family and was treated very kindly.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang figured out what was going on, the fourth child and his family came quickly. It can be seen that this family values love and justice, and there is no falsehood.
He was very pleased and said with a smile: "Gao Chi, you are here because of Li Xiao's affairs."
Zhu Gaochi looked at his sister Zhu Ningyun next to him and understood in his heart that the emperor's grandfather was not furious, which meant that there was no need to worry about this matter.
He touched his stomach and smiled awkwardly: "I can't hide anything from Grandfather Emperor."
Zhu Ningyun on the side smiled and said: "Gao Chi, you are worrying too much. Since the emperor's grandfather gave Li Xiaoshang a sword and a blank imperial decree, he must be able to let him do it without any doubts."
Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Then I'll be relieved."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked into the distance and said with appreciation: "Yes, serious illness requires strong medicine. This class of scholar-bureaucrats has been a serious disadvantage in all dynasties. What we hate most is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide, the wine and meat of the rich are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death." . But there has been no good way. Now, Li Xiao will help us solve it. This method is decisive and resolute, and it is quite the style of our time. Isn't it just that a Huazhong died? If you want to blame him, blame him. Unlucky times, I bumped into Li Xiao's gun. How can anyone not die in order to achieve success?"
In fact, the death of a hundred soldiers and one general in that hall was nothing to Zhu Yuanzhang, not even shit.
Zhu Yuanzhang's only worry may be that Li Xiao's excessive power would affect the imperial power of the old Zhu family.
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang's observation over the years, Li Xiao and Lao Si's family were harmonious and happy, so these concerns were dispelled.
In addition, Zhu Ningyun had just chatted with Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang asked a vague question, and Zhu Ningyun answered that he was unable to have children due to physical problems.
Without heirs, Zhu Yuanzhang would be even more relieved.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile: "Gao Chi, are there many people in the court who want to impeach Li Xiao? Are there still people who are sowing discord and saying that Li Xiao wants to break the earth and become the king?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Yes, Grandfather, but my grandson ignored those remarks."
"It's right to ignore it, but you can't bring shame to the humble minister."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gao Chi and said: "Yue Fei, the famous anti-Jin general of the Song Dynasty, led the Yue family army to fight hundreds of battles with the Jin army for more than ten years. He was invincible. How did he die?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Wanyan Wushu destroyed the alliance and attacked the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei sent his troops to the Northern Expedition and recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places. He also defeated the Jin army in Yancheng and Yingchang and marched to Zhuxian Town. However, Song Gaozong and Qin Hui insisted on seeking peace. With twelve "gold-lettered plaques" ordered to withdraw, Yue Fei was forced to retreat in isolation and helplessness. During the peace negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Yue Fei was framed by Qin Hui, Zhang Jun and others, and was arrested and imprisoned. On the charge of "treason", he was killed together with his eldest son Yue Yun and his general Zhang Xian."
After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he felt happy. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary. Instead, the emperor's grandfather taught himself to trust his brother-in-law.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up slowly and read: "He was so angry that he leaned against the railing, and the misty rain stopped. He looked up, looked up to the sky and roared, and his heart was strong. Thirty years of fame and fame, and eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait for your youth to grow old. My head, I am so sad!"
As soon as this poem "Manjianghong" comes out, everyone can feel the sadness of dying without fulfilling their ambitions. They are determined to serve the country, but unable to kill the thieves!
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Over the years, Li Xiao has done so many things to get involved in imperial power. Since the first day we met him, he has been thinking about reform and is not afraid of life and death. Even after many years, his original intention has not changed. We are still working hard for the Ming Dynasty to reform and strengthen the Ming Dynasty. In the end, we are not the ones who benefit? We are not old, our eyes are bright!"
His eyes were firm and he said: "This Li Xiao was sent by God to benefit the Ming Dynasty. This dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, a major change that has not happened in thousands of years. It will inevitably be turbulent and touch the interests of countless people. Who knows if the Ming Dynasty Chaos is about to break out, but then again, if you break and then build, if you don't make changes at this time, you will be even more powerless if you leave these problems to future generations, Gao Chi, don't you think so?"
Zhu Gaochi was slightly startled.
He just realized today that the emperor's grandfather had been a big fan of his brother-in-law for a long time.
Zhu Ningyun on the side was also extremely surprised. How did her husband do it? It is difficult for the emperor's grandfather to trust a person like this.
In recent years, my husband often went to Hongwu Palace. What did he say to the emperor's grandfather?
"The emperor's grandfather is absolutely right." Zhu Gaochi said sternly: "Li Xiao is like Shang Yang of Qin and Yue Fei of Song.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "Gao Chi, you just understand. You came just in time today. I just have something to tell you. Now that your father is not in the court, it is up to us to stabilize the situation. You should make more preparations and send people to rectify the troops." , in case of rebellion, we can quickly put down the rebellion. By the way, the war in Japan is almost over, right? Write a letter to ask Zhu Gaosui to come back early, he is still needed here. "
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has not taken care of the government affairs, and there are no Jin Yiwei to pass messages to him now, he is rich in experience and can smell the news after reading a few messages. He feels that there may be trouble now.
"Yes, grandson takes the order."
Zhu Gaochi agreed, and then he chatted with Zhu Yuanzhang here, and left with Zhu Zhanji in the afternoon.
"Princess, do you miss the Duke?"
After bidding farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ningyun returned to the mansion and was greeted by Zhang Cuicui.
Zhang Cuicui has been lovingly married to Li Xiongzhi over the years, and the scars on her face have almost disappeared, making her no different from a normal person.
In short, everyone who is around Li Xiao is doing well, which is why everyone is loyal to Li Xiao.
"No way." Zhu Ningyun smiled.
"You still said no. He who has been absent all day has only been gone for a long time."
Zhang Cuicui said: "Since I miss my father, why not send him a letter."
"That's not necessary." Zhu Ningyun shook his head.
He was able to communicate telepathically with Li Xiao, and there was no need to communicate through letters. However, he could not meet in person, and she missed him very much. She suddenly thought of something, looked at Cuicui and said: "By the way, send the order to all factories to increase their power and start manufacturing." commodity."
Cuicui asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Zhu Ningyun said: "Just do what I tell you."
Cuicui nodded in agreement and then retreated.
Later, Zhu Ningyun used telepathy to sense Li Xiao.
[Husband, what are you doing? 】
Li Xiao, who was thousands of miles away, immediately responded to the message.
【Taking a shower. 】
Zhu Ningyun blushed, and the figure of Li Xiao appeared in her mind. Then she felt that it was a bit embarrassing, so she quickly got down to business.
[Xiaolang, today I went to the emperor’s grandfather to inquire about the news. The emperor’s grandfather was not wary of you at all. Instead, he praised you and said that you have the same demeanor as he did back then. By the way, Gao Chi also went there today. The emperor’s grandfather also said: He taught him a lot, telling him not to have any grudges, and letting everyone feel free to let you do it boldly. 】
Zhu Ningyun is Li Xiao's little spy, able to gain insight into the news at any time.
This person is making bold moves outside, and what he fears most is that the generals are doing it outside, and the people in the court keep impeaching him, and then there is a situation of disunity.
Many loyal ministers throughout the ages have been like this. When they were in Beijing, they were deeply trusted. When they went out to do business, they were fanned by countless people and misled by slander, which led to tragedy.
Therefore, Zhu Ningyun stayed in the capital to appease people's hearts, and the husband and wife were united, which was a powerful force. Otherwise, she would have gone with Li Xiao long ago to avoid the pain of missing each other.
[Excellent, madam, you are indeed my good wife. If I hadn’t left you in the capital to inquire for me, I wouldn’t have dared to do this outside. Despite my prestige some time ago, I was worried and frightened. I'm afraid that the emperor's grandfather won't trust me. You said so. Now I'm relieved that my wife is here, so why worry about big things? 】
Li Xiao on the other side was actually a little worried.
Zhu Yuanzhang in history was not a good person.
Therefore, he has been around Zhu Yuanzhang every day for these years, talking about the shortcomings of the dynasty, and also taught Zhu Yuanzhang how to maintain health, so that he would be in good health and eat delicious food.
After slowly getting closer, Li Xiao discovered that Zhu Yuanzhang was not so ruthless. Once he touched his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang's support for him was very high.
Not only did he give Shang Fang the sword, but he also gave himself three blank imperial edicts.
Li Xiao felt that even Zhu Di might not do this kind of thing.
But Zhu Yuanzhang did it, and he allowed himself to do it boldly, because he was there to back him up. This is why Li Xiao is so arrogant.
After Li Xiao's analysis, he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and martial arts skills were higher than Zhu Di's, especially in martial arts. Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and political abilities were definitely much better than Zhu Di's. He could see things farther away. Once he was persuaded, he would prepare for a rainy day. I really do it.
[Husband, don’t be humble anymore. You deserve all this. The emperor’s grandfather trusts you very much. I didn’t say anything when I went there today. The emperor’s grandfather began to praise you greatly. But since my father ascended the throne, , have not made any achievements, everything is under your policy, even this time the Japanese Kingdom was planned in advance, the weapons and ships were all made by you, but I am worried that my father will be worried that your achievements will overwhelm the master. However, Don't worry, when father comes back, I will talk to him slowly. 】
Zhu Ningyun expressed her worries to Li Xiao. Although his father loved him, he was a saint now, so he couldn't think about everything as usual.
【Then there is Mrs. Lao】
After hearing this, Li Xiao, who was thousands of miles away, felt that it made sense.
Over the years, he has discussed everything with Zhu Ningyun. He is not someone who cannot listen to opinions. On the contrary, he attaches great importance to his wife's opinions. Women have very keen feelings.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case. My father-in-law seems to be shrouded in the aura of his powerful protagonist and cannot show his original charm.
Even this time he went to fight the Japanese pirates. The Japanese country was crippled by him six years ago. It was just a matter of course to recover the Japanese country this time.
To put it bluntly, there is no stage to show his strength.
Since there is no stage
Is it necessary to create a stage for Zhu Di to show off?
While he was thinking about it, Zhu Ningyun sent another message.
[By the way, Xiaolang, I have a plan, do you think it will work? 】
[Ningyun, please tell me. 】
[According to our previous reform method in Peiping, it was a bit tough, and massacres would be inevitable. Moreover, if our reform in Peking is successful this time, the families in Nanzhili will not sit still and wait for death, so we can be gentler and use some new methods. 】
[Ningyun, I have thought about this these days. Please tell me, do we have the same idea? 】
[Xiaolang, the products produced by the factory in Beiping Prefecture are only sold locally, and the supply exceeds demand. Why not open up the agency rights for these products? I believe that the young people in the family will be tempted, and then they will have the opportunity to break through from the inside and force them to If you get too close, they will just become a piece of metal. Why not put out bait and let them cannibalize each other? 】
[Ningyun, we really thought of a place to go! Why are you so awesome! This is what I plan to do, open up agency rights, and the agency rights are limited to selling goods in one area. This area is all about money. How can the nobles not be tempted by that? ? This is what I just thought of. I was just about to tell you, but I didn’t expect you to think of it too. Hehe. You can let the factories we invest in in Peiping increase their horsepower to manufacture goods, so that they can be sold in Nanjing. Kill two birds with one stone, and we can make a lot of money by then. 】
[Husband, I have sent people there. As for the state-owned enterprises, I will also go and tell Gao Chi tomorrow to ask the state-owned enterprises to increase production. 】
[Hmm, that's great. Madam is indeed my good wife. What more can I ask for when I have a husband like this? I was so excited that I got up first and the bath water was already cold]
[It is a wife’s duty to share her husband’s worries. Husband, please get up quickly and don’t catch a cold. But you are thick-skinned and never get sick, and you won’t catch a cold. Even if you catch a cold, you can heal yourself. whee.】
[Hey, ma'am, I'll take a cold shower. 】
[No, no, no, you’d better get up quickly, don’t really catch the cold, then I will feel bad. By the way, husband, do you miss me?]
[Think about it. I think about it every day, all the time, all the time, every minute, every second. There is nothing I can’t do but think about, and I’m going crazy.]
[I hate it. Okay, get up quickly and get busy, I won’t disturb your husband anymore]
Hearing these loving words, Zhu Ningyun felt as sweet as honey.
Now I wanted to meet and get close to my husband even more, but thinking that I still had things to do, I had no choice but to give up.
"Husband, husband, your little mouth is so sweet. No wonder so many little girls secretly love you and think about you every day."
