"Tell me, what happened to make you unhappy?"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles at this time, after getting along with him for so many years, Queen Ma could tell from his smile that there was something hidden in Lao Zhu's heart.
In other words, from the moment she knew that Lao Zhu was coming, Queen Ma already knew that Lao Zhu was here to complain to her.
"Sister... I'm really a little afraid of you sometimes! There's something on my mind that I can't hide in front of you."
After Empress Ma revealed his thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel any surprise.
In other words, in front of the old queen, he has never pretended, he has always been his true self.
"You don't want to hide it. If you have something in your heart that you want to hide, who can tell... Tell me quickly. It's not good to keep some things in your heart."
"Maybe, I can still give you some advice!"
At this time, Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a silly smile on his face, tenderly stretched out her hand, and gently pulled him.
For a man to save face outside, he needs to be given enough respect.
But again, men are human beings.
They will also have troubles, and there will be times when their hearts are wavering.
At this time, as a woman, you must show enough patience and gentleness.
To comfort him, to care for him, to share his burdens.
Even if you know you can't share the burden, you must at least learn to listen and share.
"Sister! Hey... I won't hide it from you! This time it's mainly because of Lan Yu's bastard thing. This guy's... temperament makes us look like he has sand in his eyes. Yes. He is arrogant and domineering. He has no brains at all. He has no sense of what to say on any occasion."
"If it weren't for the sake of his relationship with Biao'er, we would really want to..."
When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned Lan Yu, he gritted his teeth a bit when he spoke.
Obviously, Lan Yu's domineering temperament was already challenging the limit of his tolerance.
Empress Ma, who was holding Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, was not in a hurry to say anything at this time.
Because she knew that Lao Zhu still had something to say.
"Sister. In addition to this boy Lan Yu, we have something else to tell you. Recently we met a strange person. What did this boy say... Didn't we come to see you last time? In fact, that day, We just know a big problem."
"We wanted to let future generations enjoy our blessings, so we thought of a clan support. It was this kid who found out the fault in this matter for us."
"And this time, this kid gave us another good idea. In our Hongwu Dynasty, there are so many corrupt officials that we can't kill them all no matter how hard we kill them. Just say this kid! We just give salaries to our ministers. These ministers are too few."
"Furthermore, in their opinion, they deserve their salary. They work more and less, and they only get so little money anyway. Therefore, these ministers like to work in both ways, fish in troubled waters, and think about getting more. money!"
"So, let's just do this..."
After finishing Lan Yu's complaints, Lao Zhu felt temporarily comfortable.
And he thought about it, and finally decided to talk to Queen Ma about Chu Ze's matter.
Of course, the main thing is to want Queen Ma to come forward and say hello to Lan Yu.
That bastard had better restrain himself.
By the way, I also wanted Chu Ze to get into Empress Ma's eyes and let their girl help her do it.
Let's see if this kid is suitable for Biao'er to use as his trump card.
So, with this idea in mind, Lao Zhu processed today's events a little and told Queen Ma exactly what happened.
From the time he arranged a marriage between Lan Yu's daughter and Chu Ze, to the dispute between Chu Ze and Lan Yu, he finally talked about Chu Ze's proposal to change the direction of the courtiers and increase their wages, and how he got along with Zhu Biao.
Lao Zhu said all these things in detail.
Of course, some minor modifications have been made.
For example, the reason why courtiers need to be given a salary increase is not because he, Lao Zhu, made poor decisions and had to think carefully when doing things.
Rather, he disliked the fact that these courtiers were too good at doing their jobs.
Want to inspire them or something like that.
Anyway, we can admit our mistakes, but we can only admit them in our hearts.
When Empress Ma listened to Lao Zhu's narration of these things, she didn't say a word from beginning to end. She just held Zhu Yuanzhang's generous palm aside so that he could feel at ease and finish everything smoothly.
After Lao Zhu finished talking about what was on his mind, she stood up and came behind Lao Zhu.
And he gently placed his hands on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead, and gently kneaded him.
"Chongba. In fact, what you did about Lan Yu is indeed a bit unethical. Now Lan Yu is also a marquis after all. He is no longer the young man who followed you to fight in the past."
"Whose daughter is not a sweetheart? If you want to arrange a marriage for someone, at least you should say hello and ask if it's okay before. You fooled Lan Yu in a fool's errand. His temperament is already irritable. , can he not be impatient?"
"So, you can't blame him too much for this matter. As for his character, you also know that although Lan Yu is literate and has read some books, in the end, he is still just a rough man. He is short-sighted and speaks without consideration."
"These things are all due to his character. It's impossible for everyone to be like you, right? It's normal to have shortcomings. After all, he is not a saint."
"As the emperor and their leader, sometimes you have to tolerate them."
"Especially Lan Yu is Biao'er's uncle. You see how he treats Biao'er. If you have something to say in the future, it's better that you don't mention it and think less about it. Besides, if it doesn't work, just scold him. "
"Lanyu is not a petty person. He knows who is good to him."
"As for the Chu Ze you are talking about, although I have never met him, from what you said, he is quite a talented person. He is just a bit younger and more energetic, so there is nothing wrong with letting him have more contact with Biao'er."
"It's just that he is still young after all. If you want to reuse him, you still have to observe him more, especially his character and conduct."
"Also, as an emperor, you should pay more attention to it. You can't just rush to kill everything, right? If you kill all the capable people, who will dare to help you?"
"When appropriate, you can still use some gentle methods."
Although Queen Ma spoke in a gentle voice, her words were full of lessons.
In this world, Zhu Yuanzhang is probably the only one who can teach him a lesson now.
