"Boss, Fengxue."
"Do you think there is really an emperor who can live long in this world?"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the chopsticks in his hands, then raised his eyes, looked at Zhu Biao and Xiao Han, and pondered for a moment.
"Um!"
Zhu Biao and Xiao Han put down their chopsticks at the same time, and both looked at Lao Zhu in unison.
"Dad, you old man, don't you also want to seek immortality?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked tentatively.
Even Xiao Han's scalp was slightly numb. Why is Lao Zhu so crazy? He just wanted to seek immortality just a short time after the founding of the country. Isn't this nonsense!
"What the hell are you asking for immortality? I'm asking for damn immortality!"
"Throughout the dynasties, many emperors have sought immortality, but what was the result?"
"Isn't it just a pile of bones?"
"Then why are we wasting our energy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and said angrily.
If there really was an emperor who could live forever, how could there be so many dynasty changes and endless wars in this world?
It's not even his turn, Lao Zhu's, to be the emperor.
Therefore, Lao Zhu never believed that there was a way to live forever in this world.
"What about you?"
Zhu Biao frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang. He didn't understand at all, what did their old man mean?
But Xiao Han, who was sitting aside, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang thoughtfully.
Because, in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, with the intervention of Xiao Han and Xiao Fengxue, Zhu Yuanzhang's road to unification was reduced by many stumbling blocks, but the general trend of history has not changed much. The rise of Chen Youliang is enough to illustrate.
But the end of the troubled times did indeed come to an end two years earlier than recorded in historical records, so maybe Lao Zhu was tired of saying long live it, right?
"We were just thinking, long live, long live, long live. This sentence has been shouted for hundreds of thousands of years and has taken away the rise and fall of many dynasties. Therefore, this sentence is unlucky. We want to change it, but I have thought about it for a long time. , I think it’s not possible, so I want to ask you.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and then explained.
"I see."
Zhu Biao was relieved.
As long as his father doesn't want to live forever, he can do whatever he wants!
really.
Xiao Han secretly said.
In the second year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang was tired of the long-lived imperial speech. Then, after much discussion among the courtiers, he changed it to "Heaven's Fu is virtuous, Haiyu Xianning, may the Holy Bow be blessed!"
But unfortunately, this sentence only lasted for more than six months. Zhu Yuanzhang used the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple to report it to the old system, and then changed the court words back to three shouts of long live.
"I'm afraid we have to discuss this with the courtiers."
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.
It is not commonplace to write a poem once, and it is not taken care of well. This change will probably have to be argued by the civil and military officials of the court. After all, this is a gift from the emperor.
"We said, no matter what the rules are, can they be bigger than mine?"
Zhu Yuanzhang still waved his hand and said indifferently.
Moreover, it has always been the prerogative of Emperor Taizu to abolish and establish rules.
Zhu Yuanzhang has this power. As long as he can convince the courtiers, all the rules in the world can be pushed back and re-enacted. But Lao Zhu is an emperor who is willing to convince the courtiers. Stop making trouble. If he really speaks, it will usually be I have murderous intentions, and I am trying to talk to you a few words, just to regain my home court.
"Fengxue thinks it makes sense."
"Since uncle doesn't like three cheers."
"Then it would be better to change it to Tianfu Youde, Haiyu Xianning, may the Holy Bow be blessed."
"This has a wonderful meaning."
Xiao Han raised his eyes, looked at Lao Zhu and cupped his hands slightly: "Uncle, what do you think?"
"wonderful!"
Many words flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, but in the end he just uttered one wonderful word, with satisfaction in his eyes.
The meaning is indeed good, much stronger than the three cheers of long live.
"It's really good."
Zhu Biao also nodded and rarely refuted.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, we should be more pragmatic. The three shouts of long live were indeed a bit exaggerated, but the courtiers have been shouting for so many years, can they really change?
"What if the courtiers don't accept it?"
Queen Ma turned her head, looked at Lao Zhu and Xiao Han, and asked softly.
Morning greetings have always been a common term. Once changed, it will take a long time to get used to it. If it is a few months, it is fine, but if it takes a year and a half, then morning greetings...
"disagree?"
"Don't accept it?"
"Let them come and tell us in person."
A coldness flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. There was no need to go to such trouble to change the imperial edict. According to his character, who would dare to disobey or feel dissatisfied with an imperial edict?
"Uncle, it's just a speech, it won't lead to a big fight."
"We can implement it first, and if we feel it's not beautiful, we can change it back."
"Or maybe I'm thinking about the speech."
Xiao Han shook his head slightly, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and suggested.
Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with disbelief. Why is Xiao Han's temperament so different today from the past?
As everyone knows, Xiao Han didn't want to make too many mistakes. After all, in the original history, this court sentence was only implemented for six months before it was changed back to three cheers for long live.
Therefore, in order to prevent Lao Zhu from thinking that Xiao Han came up with a bad idea, he said this. Otherwise, with Xiao Han's character, he would either not do it or do it to the end. How could someone implement it?
"Um."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, then looked at Queen Ma beside him and asked softly: "Sister, what do you think?"
"Then let's decide like this first."
"You can discuss this again tomorrow morning."
Queen Ma also thought it was good and nodded.
"Well, I'll ask Mr. Li and Master Liu tomorrow."
"Let them take the lead."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction.
"We, Feng Xue, have more ideas."
"Tell me what reward you want."
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Han again and asked with a smile.
"It is the duty of a minister to share His Majesty's worries."
Since they were talking about rewards, Xiao Han should address him as your majesty. Then he slowly stood up and said as humbly as before.
"Clear rewards and punishments have always been our principle."
"Since you have merit, you should be rewarded."
"After dinner, go to our inner treasury and pick out two things you like."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Han and waved his hand, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Don't always pick the expensive ones, it's almost enough. Last time, you almost emptied our treasury."
The last time, after Xiao Han went to the treasury, Zhu Yuanzhang went there. Looking at the empty treasury, he was so angry that he trembled all over. Therefore, from then on, whenever Xiao Han went to Lao Zhu's treasury, Lao Zhu had to Send someone to watch closely to prevent Xiao Han from emptying out for him again.
"hey-hey."
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Fengxue will definitely not take more this time."
Xiao Han chuckled, scratched his head again and said.
