Chapter 76 Who am I?
No one is willing to be ordinary, no one wants to be someone else's supporting role all his life, and the same is true for He Xi.
"Who are you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
The tone was calm and not aggressive, but it struck a deep chord in He Xi's heart.
He Xi said hesitantly: "I don't know."
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "I tell you, you can be Jiang Ziya who was born 800 years ago, and Zhang Zifang who was born 400 years ago."
He Xi's blood rushed to his head for a moment, whether he was furious or not, He Xi himself didn't feel it. He just felt that his whole body was on fire, and it seemed as if a breath of air was directly pushing open his eardrums. You can clearly hear the sound of your own pulse through your ears.
Like a heavy drum on the battlefield.
"Boom, boom, boom."
It was his blood and courage that reverberated.
He Xi felt her mouth was dry, her chest was stuffy, and she was out of breath. He Xi tried to calm her mind and said, "Can I do it?"
"Why can't you do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
He Xi said: "I don't have enough experience and I can't do many things well."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Where does experience come from? Yes, it comes from doing things. If you don't do one thing well, there will be another thing. In the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, there is always room for trial and error. Are you still afraid of not having experience? You As I said before, you have read books for nearly twenty years. In today's world, there are very few people who have the ability to calm down and read books for twenty years. Even if you have read four books and five classics, you are already a talent. Not to mention , you have the wisdom of six hundred years of people. You have technology that no one has ever valued in this era. These alone are infinitely better than Zhang Liang’s Yellowstone Heavenly Book. More importantly, you are my son-in-law, and you have my support. , tomorrow, you can walk sideways."
"You are only in your early twenties now. When you are seven or eight years old, why can't you be compared with Jiang Ziya and Zhang Liang?"
He Xi suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. It seemed that within a short time, He Xi's eyeballs were already covered with bloodshot eyes.
He Xi said: "Can I do it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament has become restrained at this moment, and he does not have the heroic spirit that just filled the universe. And like a teacher, an elder. Step forward. He patted He Xi on the shoulder and said, "Don't you think you can do it?" Then he said, "Just think about it yourself here."
Then he strode away, saying as he walked: "Have you figured it out and come find me?"
He Xi didn't return the gift at all. Now I am standing on the top of the city, watching the sunset. Watching the stars rising into the sky, watching the mountains and rivers gradually darken. Watching the lights of thousands of houses rising little by little, although it is not as good as the urban night scene of later generations, Nanjing city has a unique flavor.
He Xi's blood was frozen by the cold of winter.
He also gradually calmed down.
However, He Xi found that he could not go back.
He Xi was not a fool, and it was not without reason that Zhu Yuanzhang felt that He Xi was worthy of being cultivated. Although He Xi had just been beaten with blood by Zhu Yuanzhang, she wanted to rush forward and stand side by side with Zhu Yuanzhang. She really felt that she could start the Ming Dynasty for a thousand years. Comparable to Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang.
What? You said Liu Bowen.
He Xi is here with me, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, what are they? Get out of here all. Either dead or immortal.
When body temperature drops, sanity returns. He Xi breathed a sigh of relief and understood that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not necessarily false. But some things may not be guaranteed. For example, will his future Ming Dynasty Jiang Ziya and Ming Dynasty Zhang Zifang die in the hands of the Ming Emperor?
But once ambition is aroused. There's no going back.
Human desires are easy to ignite but difficult to extinguish.
When I think that I will have the opportunity to become the prime minister of a country in the future and become a star in the history. Become the character and qualifications that primary school students should be admired. It has become a necessary material for high school students to write essays. He Xi's face turned red all of a sudden.
So excited.
As for the issue of his own personal safety, He Xi had already forgotten it. Because, even in modern times, people are not absolutely safe. Let alone normal accidents such as car accidents and diseases, there are also abnormal accidents such as missing at school, missing when taking out the garbage, or husband claiming to be missing.
And if he makes his own preparations, he may not be cleared in the future.
Some worries are unfounded.
What's more important is that both Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said that if your husband doesn't die, your husband will be famous, but if he dies, he will become famous. The same is true for He Xi. Danger is future danger. There is no danger in doing anything. Say something rude. He Xi even had a feeling.
If he can really get that far. The power is overwhelming, and the name is marked in history. Can I give you this great head?
Since ancient times, countless people have had a chance to stand out in the future. What a price to pay. Don't say there is danger in the future, it's just that the present is a pit of fire. I don’t know how much he jumped without hesitation.
It's just that although He Xi has graduated, she has suffered some setbacks. But inside it is still the thoughts of students. These changes have come more slowly.
However, this may be a blessing rather than a curse.
Because of He Xi's thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang had already been very careful about it. If He Xi is really that shrewd and capable, he would have a lot of selfishness in his heart. A veteran who has been able to get along well in society for a long time. Facing his situation, perhaps it was not like He Xi, who was personally ignited by Zhu Yuanzhang's desire.
But the whole person didn't know where he was.
At this moment, He Xi truly realized what he wanted.
For a moment I felt like I had a lot to do.
After all, if he just wanted to eat and die in the Ming Dynasty. That's enough for now, Princess Anqing's consort. Enough for him to live a lifetime of prosperity and wealth. But if he really becomes a giant in the imperial court, he will become a great contributor to the millennium-old foundation of enlightenment.
There is much more that needs to be done.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang expected. The estrangement between them is no longer a problem at this moment. He Xi began to work hard spontaneously.
------
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Qianqing Palace.
His face was as calm as water, no different from when he left, as if he was impassioned at the Treasure Collection Gate. Everything is as if it never happened. In fact, this is just as difficult as capturing He Xi. For Zhu Yuanzhang, it is as easy as eating and drinking.
But as soon as he returned to Qianqing Palace, he felt very uncomfortable.
Without him, Queen Ma was eating fruit and watching the Qing palace drama on the computer, Yin and Yang. It made Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead buzzing and uncomfortable. Zhu Yuanzhang can do great things outside. At this moment, in front of Queen Ma is the little old man who failed in the battle for the remote control.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, can you stop watching this?"
Queen Ma said: "I have just started. You don't know how to charge it. That solar box charges very slowly every day. It was only fully charged just now."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while and said, "You can take it back to Qianqing Palace to see it."
Queen Ma suddenly raised her head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Really."
Queen Ma immediately stood up and said, "Did you tell me earlier?" While speaking, she put the laptop and solar charger in her hands. The connecting cables and other things are also packed in mahogany boxes. After installing it, let a eunuch hold it. About to leave.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Remember, don't let others see this thing."
Queen Ma said: "I know. I know."
Zhu Yuanzhang drove the Queen away. Part of it is because of TV series and stuff. The temptation is too great. Queen Ma has been watching here. He was afraid that he couldn't bear it. Another reason is that now he has learned a lot from computers, and the government affairs have been delayed for a long time.
What Zhu Yuanzhang needs now is to digest these thoughts and deal with court affairs.
After Queen Ma left.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial and read it carefully. After a gentle glance, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He found that the prince's handling of Guo Huan's case was almost exactly the same as his previous opinions. The only difference is that some extrajudicial punishments have been deleted.
Not much.
Mostly all executions are just beheading.
Don't think that the death penalty means beheading. It can be cut in half, quartered on five horses, or executed at a languid time. Not to mention that Hemerocallis fulva fills skin and so on.
Zhu Yuanzhang still has to give this little benefit.
He is no longer thinking about this matter at the moment. Because there will be a big change in Ming Dynasty. But I still don’t know how to change it. He was still waiting for He Xi's feedback. It is precisely because of this big change is coming.
Nowadays, many major events in the court have become less important. After all, many disposals are temporary.
The most important thing is nothing more than the Northern Expedition starting next spring.
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang believed in maintaining relationships first and put aside other things.
The Guo Huan case was about letting it go.
However, the prince was unwilling to let go, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little strange. He thought for a moment, and he understood in his heart, and said to himself: "The prince is a child with many thoughts. He knows how to measure." Just thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little sad in his heart: "Historically, he died early. Maybe there are people who are too thoughtful. Reason."
Zhu Yuanzhang loves the prince, his ministers love the prince, and all brothers love the prince.
Is this kind of love as simple as the prince's benevolence and filial piety? In fact, it is not difficult to maintain a relationship with one person, but almost everyone praises it. This level of maintenance is more difficult.
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed this thought and thought to himself: "This should be Song Lian's idea."
He thought of Song Lian, so he looked at it, pulled out Song Lian's memorial, flipped through it, and was slightly startled. What is written above is Song Lian's memorial asking for the reopening of the imperial examination.
In fact, if He Xi did not appear, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to restart the imperial examination. Because the maintenance of the Ming Dynasty required a large number of talents. There is currently a huge talent gap in the imperial court. This also means that Zhu Yuanzhang abandoned the school talent training system headed by the Imperial College and returned to the original imperial examination system.
There is no other way.
But now with He Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang has a new choice. But he wasn't sure He Xi would have any good ideas. Think about it. Put Song Lian's memorial aside.
Stay in the middle.
