"Sister, what you said makes it sound like I don't remember Su Jing's contribution."
Zhu Yuanzhang said a little dissatisfied.
Obviously, Zhu Biao had asked Zhu Biao to count all Su Jing's achievements in the court before, and directly conferred the title of Ren Yuanbo.
As long as Su Jing's credit is given, none of it has been omitted.
Now Empress Ma would like to remind him that Zhu Yuanzhang also had a little temper.
"I know, I know, I'm afraid you'll forget."
Empress Ma quickly explained, and then asked: "By the way, Chongba, how do you plan to deal with Ma Zhiyuan's matter?"
Ma Zhiyuan's case really taught Zhu Yuanzhang a profound lesson.
Excessively harsh treatment of officials will not reduce corruption, but will also force honest officials to go astray.
As a typical example, Queen Ma is also very concerned about how to deal with Ma Zhiyuan.
"Of course the original sentence will be upheld and he will be executed later."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
It was heartless, but both he and Su Jing understood that this matter could not be changed.
Empress Ma sighed slightly and said, "Alas! What are you going to do with Ma Zhiyuan's family and Chongba?"
"I have asked Biao'er to handle it properly. This matter will not end here. Those guys hiding behind will not run away so easily."
Zhu Yuanzhang's cold face showed a trace of killing intent.
Ma Zhiyuan embarked on the road of corruption. Although it was due to Zhu Yuanzhang's low salary policy, it was also inseparable from the guys who were watching Ma Zhiyuan.
They took the initiative to find officials like Ma Zhiyuan who had vulnerabilities, and then slowly broke through them. Their harm was even greater.
"Well, since you already have a plan, I won't say anything."
Queen Ma nodded.
Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's cold rationality, she is more emotional.
She sympathized with Ma Zhiyuan's matter, but she also knew that this could only be the case.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, I'm really worried about how to solve this Su Jing matter. This guy is just like a toilet stone, smelly and hard."
The preliminary preparations for Su Jing's entry into the official position have been completed, and now he is stuck at the Su Jing level, which really makes Zhu Yuanzhang extremely uncomfortable.
Although there is still a last resort, directly reveal his identity and use the emperor's order to force Su Jing.
But Zhu Yuanzhang felt a different feeling from Su Jing. Su Jing seemed to be waiting for him to do this.
And once you do that, some things just stop there.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to create the Ming Dynasty, and naturally experienced countless dilemmas and crises. In many cases, he could not solve them by relying on thinking.
At this time, intuition is particularly important.
Zhu Yuanzhang's intuition is very accurate.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang never took the last resort.
"Chongba, let me tell you, you want Mr. Su to replace Uncle Chengyi and become the benchmark for checking and balancing the Huaixi Group in the court. Why not let Uncle Chengyi persuade you?"
Queen Ma suggested.
Although Liu Bowen has resigned now, he still stays in Yingtian Mansion.
This is because Liu Bowen does not want to go back to be his Mr. Qingtian, but Zhu Yuanzhang refuses to let him go.
Once suspicion begins, it is difficult to take it back.
Zhu Yuanzhang said in surprise: "Sister, it has to be you. It would be a good idea to let Bowen persuade me. I'll go find Bowen right now!"
"Why are you in such a hurry!"
Empress Ma immediately grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "What time is it now? Uncle Chengyi is quite old. Can't we go tomorrow?"
"Besides, Mr. Su has just come back from Laizhou Mansion. You just go and disturb him yourself. You keep letting others go, and you don't want Mr. Su to have a good rest."
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang was running back and forth right now, it was actually only a few days since Su Jing came back.
Queen Ma really felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had gone too far.
"Um?"
Hearing Queen Ma's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Who else is looking for Su Jing besides me?"
Empress Ma immediately said: "Who else can it be? Our sons. Biao'er and Tie'er have gone to study with Su Jing again. They can't sit still in the main hall. You told them that they can go at any time. They can't think too much about it. I just want to go, if I hadn’t pulled him, Mr. Su would be extremely busy right now.”
Zhu Fang and other princes were actually eager to go find Su Jing after Zhu Yuanzhang informed them last time.
But Queen Ma knew that Su Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang were very busy looking for him now.
So he took the lead in stopping the princes who wanted to find Su Jing directly.
"I forgot about this. My sister is right. I was too anxious. Let's talk about this later."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was awakened by Queen Ma and realized that he was impatient.
Indeed, the road has been paved for Su Jing, and the show can only officially start when Su Jing enters the game.
But slowing down is not a way to make this scene more attractive.
Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious, and all the civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty were equally anxious.
Since they are anxious, the emperor need not be anxious.
"You also said that you didn't pay much attention to Mr. Su. That's why Mr. Su is so confused that he can't even see things clearly."
Queen Ma joked.
In the past few days, Zhu Yuanzhang's whole heart fell on Su Jing.
In order to get Su Jing to join the officialdom, I have been thinking of ways, which is really worrying. I can't even see the situation clearly as before.
"Sister, you are just talking nonsense. I only want Su Jing's good, and this kid can't understand my painstaking efforts. I'm not in a hurry, I just hate the iron!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, seeming to be hiding his guilty conscience.
Empress Ma smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Su is too stubborn. How can you refuse Zhu Chongba's kindness? Right!"
Faced with Empress Ma's squeeze, Zhu Yuanzhang's only way to resist was to ignore it.
…
It’s another refreshing morning.
In Niu Mansion, Su Jing has already gotten up.
Although this is the Ming Dynasty, the enjoyment of wealthy people is still very good.
The weather outside is still cold, and there are charcoal stoves burning all over the Niu Mansion's yard. The temperature is much higher than the outside temperature.
At this time, Zhu Biao was no longer here, and he went to deal with Ma Zhiyuan's affairs.
Su Jing came to the restaurant, and Zhu Ru was also there.
"Master Su, morning."
Zhu Ting saluted Su Jing seriously.
"Good morning, Niu Su."
Su Jing nodded, and then they also had breakfast together.
The breakfast at Niu Mansion is all prepared by the chef, and no matter what it is, it tastes quite good, but when Su Jing eats it, it feels a little less smoky.
Food that is too exquisite always makes people feel like life is unreal.
Su Jing raised her head and glanced at Zhu Rui, and found that he was eating very carefully, completely different from the way he was when he was around her.
"Niu Su, do you want to go out for breakfast?"
Su Jing asked Zhu Rui.
Zhu Rui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I think!"
This is not Su Jing's side, Zhu Ji is the fifth prince, and all his food, clothing, housing and transportation must be in accordance with the prince's standards.
Although the material standards Zhu Yuanzhang provided for his son were all very high, high standards did not mean comfort.
For example, in this breakfast, everything is a carefully crafted delicacy. When drinking porridge, you have to choose rice grains of similar size.
But when she was around Su Jing, everything happened as she pleased.
"Okay, let's go out to eat."
Su Jing immediately took Zhu Ru and went out.
The streets of Yingtianfu are full of fireworks.
Both sides of the street are lined with people hawking, and there is a dazzling array of all kinds of fresh breakfast.
Su Jing chose a stall at random, ordered two taels of pot stickers and two pancakes, and took two bowls of soy milk, and ate directly with Zhu Rui.
"Niu Su, how's it going? Is it delicious?"
Su Jing asked while eating pot stickers.
Zhu Zhu nodded and said: "It's delicious."
Su Jing asked again: "Niu Su, do you think it's better to have someone to serve you every day, or to be able to do what you want to do?"
Zhu Tie was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and replied: "Master Su, is this a multiple-choice question?"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this answer, Su Jing couldn't help but laugh: "Niu Su, that's right, your mind is spinning fast enough. This is not a multiple-choice question, but if it were a multiple-choice question, what would you choose?"
Now Su Jing already knows that her second apprentice is actually Zhu Yuanzhang's fifth son.
The person who is now granted the title is King of Wu, but later it was changed to King of Zhou.
Politically, Zhu Ju made no achievements.
But in science, Zhu Ji compiled many medical works and made great contributions to the development of medicine.
Zhu Xi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Master Su, the students don't know."
"Forget it if you don't know."
Su Jing did not ask further questions. Zhu Rui was just a child after all, and it was meaningless to ask too many questions about these things.
Zhu Rui said: "Master Su, are you faced with such a choice now? Did my father ask you to choose?"
Even though Zhu Rui is young, his mind is very clear.
"Oh, why do you think so?"
Su Jing asked curiously.
He just asked casually, but Su Jing was really surprised that Zhu Jing would express such doubts.
Zhu Yu is different from Zhu Biao. Zhu Yuanzhang basically did not let his sons other than Zhu Biao participate in politics prematurely, not to mention that Zhu Xi is still so young now.
How could Zhu Xi understand this kind of thing?
According to Su Jing's understanding of Zhu Rui in his memory, it can be said that Zhu Rui has no talent at all in this area.
Zhu Rui replied: "Master Su, the student doesn't know what happened between you and your father. The student just feels that Master Su doesn't really want to stay in Yingtian."
A child's intuition is always spot on.
Yingtian Mansion is very good and very good, but the place where Su Jing can stay forever has to be Lishui County.
No way, who told Su Jing to be in Lishui County as soon as she crossed over?
"Then what do you think you should do as a teacher?"
Su Jing continued to ask.
Su Jing has always been thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang's decision to join him as an official.
In terms of attitude, it must be a direct rejection.
Su Jing thought so firmly in her heart from the beginning.
But thinking back carefully about the days she lived with Zhu Biao, Su Jing felt that she could do something in this era.
This sudden thought gave Su Jing some different thoughts.
Su Jing believed that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were impossible. This emperor had already conquered the world. Not to mention arbitrary, but at least there were many things that it was impossible to change on him.
But with Zhu Biao's words, Su Jing saw some possibilities.
However, when she thought of Zhu Biao's early death, Su Jing didn't have much hope for this possibility.
Zhu Jing looked at Su Jing and said: "Students think that Master Su should already have the answer in his mind. No matter what Master Su chooses, the students will support Master Su."
Su Jing looked at her apprentice's sincere eyes, reached out and touched his head and said, "It seems you understand me better than your elder brother."
The conversation between the two ended here. After breakfast, they returned to Niu Mansion without staying too long.
Learning still needs to continue.
Just after returning to Niu Mansion, Su Jing found that there were many more people in front of her.
"Meet Mr. Su!" X3
Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were now respectfully saluting Su Jing.
"Second brother, third brother and fourth brother! Why are you here?"
Zhu Zhu looked at the three people and said immediately.
And Su Jing said: "What are you doing? Why are you all coming to me?"
Su Jing didn't know the identities of these princes before, but now it seems that it is quite clear.
King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan.
"In reply to Mr. Su, we came here specially to visit Mr. Su."
Zhu Fang replied that as the second eldest son, he would be the leader if Zhu Biao was not around.
Zhu Fan said: "Mr. Su, we knew you were in Yingtian, so we came here."
"Hello, Mr. Su."
Zhu Di simply nodded in greeting.
visit?
Su Jing did not believe that these three princes were just visiting, but it was unlikely that they were instructed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
These princes have no effect in persuading themselves to become officials.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, this is your home anyway."
Su Jing waved her hands and said.
According to the current situation, Niu Mansion is the home of these princes.
As soon as these words were said, Zhu and the others were stunned.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had warned them in advance, so they did not reveal their identities at this time.
At this moment, there was another person standing aside, whom Su Jing could not ignore.
"Excuse me, Kaos, to meet Mr. Su."
Kaos, who had blond hair, saluted Su Jing.
He was a figure that Su Jing could not ignore.
In fact, from the moment when Kaos was standing next to the three princes, Su Jing guessed that Kaos was the Roman that Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned before.
"Hello, Kaos."
Su Jing nodded towards Kaos, and then said: "The previous math questions were very interesting."
Kaos immediately said: "Mr. Su is laughing at me. Compared with Mr. Su, my mathematics is just as different as a firefly and a bright moon. I came here this time to ask for advice from Mr. Su."
My math?
Su Jing keenly heard the words used in Kaos's description. It seemed that this Roman still had considerable confidence in Roman mathematics.
He smiled and said: "There is no need to ask for advice. Communication is the correct way to spread science. What do you think?"
Kaos immediately bowed and said: "Mr. Su is so humble, I admire him. I hope I will not disappoint Mr. Su."
