"Sister, it's not that I don't want to eat, but there are too many things to do about Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
Of course Lao Zhu also knows the importance of eating, but there are really many things about Ming Dynasty.
Queen Ma opened the food box and served the food while saying, "You have to do everything by yourself, so naturally you are very tired."
It had to be Queen Ma, who revealed the real reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was busy in one sentence.
I think I have to do everything myself.
Regarding power, Lao Zhu did not trust anyone under his command.
This is the mentality of old farmers. They don’t believe anyone except their own family members.
"Sister, we don't want to, but we can't do this. If I don't do it myself, the people below will fool me."
Zhu Yuanzhang explained.
This empty seal case happened not long ago. For Lao Zhu, this was a big wake-up call, which further confirmed his thinking.
"Okay, I won't say much about this state matter. You are the emperor and you have the final say."
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "But eating is a family matter. I have to take care of it. Give me a good meal!"
Know the general outline and carry it clearly.
It is not unreasonable for Empress Ma to enjoy Zhu Yuanzhang's love exclusively.
"Hey, sister, why don't I eat?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately began to pick up the food, which was delicious.
"Eat slowly, why are you in such a hurry? You are already an emperor, why are you still in such a hurry to eat?"
Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's eating appearance and said helplessly.
Zhu Yuanzhang, however, didn't take it seriously and said, "Sister, it's been so many years. I've already gotten used to it. I can't slow down."
This cannot be blamed on Zhu Yuanzhang. In his early years, he was so hungry that he had no food to eat and became a beggar.
He knew the feeling of hunger very clearly, so when he could eat a full meal later, he would wolf it down, for fear that he would finish the meal without finishing it.
After the uprising, I personally led the troops to fight. The soldiers were very fast, and the time for eating was shortened as much as possible.
After so many years, eating has become a habit engraved in my bones.
Of course, this is also because Lao Zhu is in his prime, with good health and good appetite and digestion.
Queen Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was eating so deliciously, and she also had a look of satisfaction on her face.
As a wife, she is very happy when her husband is healthy.
"Finished."
In less than half a stick of incense, Zhu Yuanzhang had already finished his dinner like a storm.
Queen Ma put away the dinner plate and was about to leave.
"Sister, wait a minute."
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him.
"What's wrong, Chongba?"
Queen Ma stopped and asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, I asked Liu Ji to see Su Jing."
Liu Bowen meets Su Jing!
Upon hearing this, Queen Ma's expression immediately changed.
Empress Ma has seen Zhu Yuanzhang's recent handling and attitude towards Liu Bowen.
She knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous, but for now, he didn't go too far.
As for Su Jing, Empress Ma personally experienced Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention towards Su Jing.
In order to protect Su Jing, Emperor Ma gave Su Jing the shoes he made, the jade pendant that Zhu Biao carried, and the cloak that Zhu Yuanzhang wore in his early years.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang actually said that he asked Liu Bowen to meet Su Jing.
This is not a very good sign.
"Chongpachi, what do you want to do?"
Queen Ma asked simply and directly, straight to the point.
Liu Bowen's contribution was great, and Empress Ma did not want Zhu Yuanzhang to kill Liu Bowen and leave a reputation for killing heroes.
Su Jing is a talented scholar and will definitely be an able minister of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Queen Ma didn't want anything unexpected to happen to Su Jing.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's operation at this time seemed to be deliberately causing some accident.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly and said, "Sister, there are some things I can only tell you."
"Liu Ji is a hero of the Ming Dynasty. I have never thought of killing him. It's just that Su Jing, what he knows is too dangerous."
At this time, at least for now, Zhu Yuanzhang really has no intention of killing Liu Bowen.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's wife and children are still here, and his family is happy.
The successors of the Ming Dynasty were also extremely outstanding, and the court was quite stable.
His mood was just as stable.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Chongba, you should know very well what kind of person Mr. Su is."
"If he really wanted to do something, with Mr. Su's wisdom, how could he say that to Biao'er."
"Because of Mr. Su, Ming Dynasty is indeed changing, moving in a better direction."
Although Su Jing has not yet entered the Ming court, many of the things he taught Zhu Biao have already begun to be used in the Ming Dynasty.
Many changes have already taken place!
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Sister, I know all what you said, but people will change. Su Jing is like this now. No one can guarantee what he will become in the future."
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang is most worried about.
Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang saw too many people.
The human heart is the most difficult thing to grasp.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the position of emperor.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Chongba, Biao'er has been studying with Mr. Su for a long time. You don't have to believe Mr. Su, but you have to believe in Biao'er."
Queen Ma still knows Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this time, it makes no sense to just talk about the pros and cons.
You have to play the family card!
Lao Zhu attaches great importance to family ties, and the two most important people are Zhu Biao and Queen Ma.
Sure enough, after hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately promised: "Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything to Su Jing, I just let Liu Ji take a look."
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said nothing more.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Li Shanchang's brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
As soon as Liu Bowen went out on the front foot, he got the news on the back foot.
As the two great civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang have always had a competitive relationship.
Liu Bowen was suspected by Lao Zhu, and there was also some suspicion of Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang has always paid close attention to Liu Bowen.
Even though he has been placed under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now Liu Bowen suddenly went out. Although Li Shanchang didn't know where Liu Bowen was going, he could tell with just a little thought that Zhu Yuanzhang must have allowed this.
Liu Bowen was not stupid. After being suspected, he decisively resigned to protect himself.
It can be said that this wave is a textbook-level response.
I have never done anything like going out.
"Liu Ji, where exactly did His Majesty ask you to go?"
Li Shanchang frowned and began to think.
At first, he didn't think about Su Jing.
But as he recalled, at the beginning of this year, Zhu Yuanzhang took Liu Bowen for a private visit incognito.
At that time, no one knew where Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen had gone.
Now that I think about it, it should be Lishui County.
Su Jing!
It’s still Su Jing!
Liu Bowen went to see Su Jing!
Li Shanchang's expression suddenly changed, and he was a little confused.
Why did Liu Bowen go to see Su Jing?
Was this requested by Liu Bowen himself or Zhu Yuanzhang?
If Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen to go, what does this mean?
Could it be said that Liu Bowen will be reused by Zhu Yuanzhang again?
Li Shanchang felt something was wrong in his heart. He wanted to check, but he didn't dare.
Zhu Yuanzhang no longer trusted him as much as before.
At this time, it is better to do less things if you can.
The less you do, the less you make mistakes, and the less you do, the better. This is a wise saying.
The night in Lishui County is still beautiful.
The few people who had eaten enough had returned home. Liu Bowen originally wanted to stay at the inn, but after Su Jing's strong persuasion, he still sat at Su Jing's house.
Su Jing's family didn't have rooms for these seven or eight people, but it was more than enough to add Liu Bowen.
Inside the house, the stove was lit.
Ancient buildings did not have cement and steel insulation layers, so the insulation effect was not that strong.
It is common to light a fire to keep warm.
Water is boiling on the stove, and there are a few sweet potatoes and eggs on the shelf.
This heat source cannot be wasted.
"Master Su, your small courtyard is truly a paradise!"
Liu Bowen said with emotion.
In Su Jing's place, it is extremely relaxing, not materially rich, but spiritually relaxed.
Su Jing picked up a small sweet potato and said with a smile: "There is no such thing as a paradise. That is to say, if I am not short of money, if I am short of money, then there is no paradise."
Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "Mr. Su, what you said is wrong. The paradise of paradise is about the state of mind. Mr. Wuliu is still picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan Mountain."
As a great writer, Liu Bowen still has some feelings.
Su Jing didn't refute, but just turned the sweet potato around so that it could be heated evenly on all sides.
"Master Song, the student thinks that this statement is wrong. The economic base determines the superstructure. Without money, even Mr. Wu Liu will be just a poor scholar."
Zhu Biao suddenly spoke.
He used the knowledge that Su Jing taught him.
"Upper decision decided by the economic background?"
Liu Bowen was slightly startled.
Of course he understood what Zhu Biao said. If you don't have money, you will definitely live in poverty. No matter how good your mood is, it's nonsense.
However, after carefully savoring what Zhu Biao said, he felt that it was very meaningful.
"Master, why is it that the economic base determines the superstructure?"
Liu Bowen was not ashamed to ask questions.
Zhu Biao glanced at Su Jing, because Su Jing taught him this.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Then you tell Lao Liu, and I will see how much you remember what you heard at that time."
After hearing this, Zhu Biao immediately stood up and nodded: "Yes, Master Su."
Liu Bowen was not surprised, and only Su Jing could teach such knowledge.
Zhu Biao immediately began to tell.
"The so-called economic base is the sum of the dominant production relations determined by the productive forces at a certain stage of development..."
…
Liu Bowen listened very carefully, and Su Jing on the side was also quite surprised.
Zhu Biao actually spoke surprisingly clearly, which meant that Zhu Biao had carefully remembered everything he had taught him.
After a while, Zhu Biao finally finished telling everything he knew.
"Been taught a lesson."
Liu Bowen solemnly handed over to Zhu Biao.
This made Zhu Biao a little uncomfortable, and he immediately said: "These are all taught to me by Master Su. Master Liu, you'd better not break me."
Su Jing smiled and said: "Niu Yi, there is a hierarchy of learning, and there is a specialization in the arts, so just accept it, it'll be fine."
When Zhu Biao saw this, he couldn't say anything else.
After a while, the sweet potatoes and potatoes were also roasted.
Although we have already had dinner, it is still quite good as an after-dinner dessert.
"No, I'm getting older, so I need to rest."
Liu Bowen stood up and said to Su Jing.
Su Jing nodded and said, "Lao Liu, just go and rest. Health is the first priority."
After saying that, Su Jing got up and sent Liu Bowen to the wing.
As Liu Bowen returned to his room, Su Jing, Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru also went back to their rooms to rest.
Lying on the bed, Liu Bowen couldn't sleep.
What Su Jing told him during the day made him extremely addicted.
In the history of the past and present, in Su Jing's words, all social changes have become traceable.
Only immortals have such ability.
Liu Bowen got up from the bed, originally thinking of writing down what Su Jing said.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he decided to give up the idea for the time being.
When I came here, I was always under Zhu Yuanzhang's surveillance.
Leaving written records is not a wise choice.
As for Zhu Biao, he was a tolerant prince.
If Su Jing could hold on until Zhu Biao came to the throne, he would definitely be able to shine in the Ming Dynasty.
Unfortunately, these don't seem to have much to do with me.
Liu Bowen is still a bit old.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still in his prime, and the future Ming Dynasty would be ruled by Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time.
However, although the Ming Dynasty cannot be seen in the next few decades, the changes in this society hundreds of years later can be glimpsed through Su Jing.
Thinking of this, Liu Bowen couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Early next morning.
Liu Bowen woke up early. As he gets older, he naturally sleeps less.
As soon as I left the room, I saw Zhu Biao and Zhu Ju already reading in the morning.
"Hello Master Liu."
Zhu Biao said respectfully to Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen immediately replied: "Good morning, young master, where is Mr. Su?"
"Master Su is still sleeping. Normally he won't get up at this time."
Zhu Biao said to Liu Bowen.
Sleeping in late has always been Su Jing's habit.
Su Jing once wanted to bring Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru over, but their self-discipline was too strong.
After trying several times to no avail, Su Jing gave up the idea.
What happened to someone who slept in?
With enough sleep, your brain can think better.
"okay, I get it."
Liu Bowen nodded, a flash of surprise flashed across his face.
He originally thought that someone as knowledgeable as Su Jing would be the type to study extremely seriously.
But think about it, the knowledge Su Jing showed cannot be learned through hard work.
"Master Liu, if you want to wash up, you can go to the kitchen in the backyard. I've already bought breakfast, so you can go over and see it."
Zhu Biao said to Liu Bowen.
Does Prince Zhu Biao take care of himself?
Liu Bowen was really surprised now. Even if Su Jing didn't know the identity of Prince Zhu Biao, he could always guess that his family background was unusual.
Zhu Biao's daily life depends entirely on self-care.
Su Jing is really brave!
The key is that even so, Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop him.
Is Su Jing's status in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind different from what he thought?
