Royal Palace, Imperial Garden.

When the autumn wind rises, a yellow leaf falls from the treetops, is carried up by the wind, rises and falls in the air, and temporarily falls on the glazed tiles of the high wall.

The wind rose again, and the yellow leaves danced again, overlooking Wei Li's palace, and it saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the imperial study hall, and the wide embroidered robe flew up, floating like a fairy.

Huang Ye flew away curiously, trying to see the person's face clearly, but unfortunately just flew in front, the autumn wind stopped suddenly, and it fell languishingly on the woman's embroidered shoes.

Xu Miaoyi picked up the yellow leaves and said to herself: "The falling leaves know autumn, and summer passes so fast." ”

Hu Shanwei greeted him, "Princess Yan, the emperor is summoning a few Tibetan envoys and monks, you can wait in for a while." ”

Xu Miaoyi put the yellow leaf in her sleeve and followed Hu Shan into the side hall of the imperial study to wait.

Emperor Hongwu is already old, and his voice is still full of energy, and through a wall and a thick curtain, you can hear his lecture, and the sound enters Hong Zhong, with various Fengyang native accents and miles:

"Several of you have bowed down to me and cut off contact with the Northern Yuan. I have also given you rewards and titles, and you are still living happily for ten years. But why haven't Xifan, Handong, Bili, and Bayisa sent people to the capital to claim their vassals? and did not pay tribute to horses, cattle and sheep! ”

"When you go back, tell me what I have said to Zephan and they know that if you honestly call him a minister, I will not ask for him, and if you do not give an account, and if you do not come to your senses, my soldiers and horses will go to them! I taught Zephan that they knew. You have given Shakyamuni Buddha a lot of almsgiving, doing these things is nothing more than asking for good fortune in the next life, and now I am in charge of the current misfortune and blessings, you ask Zephan if they are afraid or not? ”

Xu Miaoyi in the side hall drank tea, almost burst out laughing, Emperor Hongwu is so upright, bluntly said I am more powerful than the Buddha, the Buddha is in charge of your next life, I am in charge of your blessings and disasters in this life, are you afraid?

I'm scared! Ha ha!

The Tibetan envoys and monks who faced the saint hurriedly expressed their attitude, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely bring the words." ”

Emperor Hongwu seemed to be still angry, and continued to threaten: "If they are afraid, they will come every year to pay tribute, and I will let them continue to be happy; If I don't do this, I will make Deng Yue, the Duke of Song, the general of the expedition to the west, and crusade against them, and the heavenly soldiers will come in the future, see if they can be happy! ”

The envoys were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, "Ask the emperor for mercy, they are not deliberately neglecting the court, it is because ...... Because of the long distance and the disturbance of the Northern Yuan army along the way, it ...... Therefore, they failed to come to the capital in time, and when the spring of next year is warm and the weather is warm, they will definitely bring cattle, sheep and horses to the emperor. ”

Emperor Hongwu's words shocked the envoys so much that they didn't dare to mention any conditions, and hurriedly went back to pass the word.

After a while, Hu Shanwei came to invite Xu Miaoyi over.

Should come or come, Xu Miaoyi vaguely guessed what Emperor Hongwu was going to ask, and only then did he teach the envoys and monks of Fanguo in the Western Regions a lesson, but in fact, it had the meaning of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

Similar to the three-hall trial of prisoners, the officials knocked on the floor tiles with killing sticks, and with a sense of deterrence, Xu Miaoyi had a bottom in her heart, and calmly followed Hu Shanwei into the study.

Emperor Hongwu was reviewing the folds, Xu Miaoyi had been standing in place and waiting, the hand under the sleeve rubbed the yellow leaf that had just been picked up, and when the yellow leaf was about to be thinned, and his legs and feet were numb, Emperor Hongwu, who had given a punishment and stood off the horse, raised his head and asked bluntly: "I heard that you and Shilang recently led the soldiers of the Yan Wangfu to practice attacking the mountain?" ”

Xu Miaoyi nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor, the daughter-in-law will attack the mountain, and Shiro will defend it." "Look, I'm going into more detail.

I'm not asking you this! Emperor Hongwu sneered: "You are a close husband and wife, do you have to decide the winner?" ”

Xu Miaoyi pretended not to understand her father-in-law's face, and said very frankly: "Accept and accept, and my daughter-in-law will win by luck." ”

Geng Zhi's daughter-in-law faced Geng Zhi's father-in-law, and Emperor Hongwu was choked and speechless for a while. Reasoning and teaching her daughter-in-law is the responsibility of Queen Ma, a mother-in-law, but Queen Ma has been in poor health recently, he doesn't want his old wife to worry, and his dissatisfaction with Xu Miaoyi has accumulated for too long, so he wants to teach him a lesson in person to relieve his anger.

Emperor Hongwu said: "Nonsense! You used to be a military doctor in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and you were in the same comrade as Shiro, and you can still explain that you joined the army for your brother, and you had no choice but to do so. Now that you are the princess and the mother of three children, why are you still mixed in the barracks, and you are still messing around with Shiro! The army is for war, not for your pleasure! If you are allowed to indulge, the scourge of the princes of the beacon fire will not be far away in the future! Are you afraid? ”

Xu Miaoyi is not an envoy of the West, she was shocked by a sentence of fear, she calmly explained: "The emperor misunderstood, the daughter-in-law and Shiro never regarded this matter as fun, the daughter-in-law was born in the gate, and she also went to the battlefield, how can she not bring soldiers?" You give your daughter-in-law a sword, and your daughter-in-law can still go into battle to kill the enemy, not to mention that it is just a mountain attack exercise. Those rumors that Shiro was the prince of the Marquis Opera, compared Shiro to the king of Zhou You, and compared his daughter-in-law to the demon woman Bao Xi, trying to separate the father-son relationship between Shiro and his father-in-law, his heart can be punished! ”

Emperor Hongwu said coldly: "You are very bold, and you dare to fight a rake, as a princess, you should be honest and virtuous, how can you go to attack the mountain with a group of government soldiers, can't I protect a prince and princess?" ”

"The daughter-in-law sits up straight and acts rightly, and others break the dirty water, of course the daughter-in-law has to stand up, not a quibble." Xu Miaoyi said: "Shilang is the prince, our Yanwang Mansion is a branch, and we will guard the Yandi border pass for the emperor for generations to come, when the enemy attacks the city and plunders the land, when they wave their swords and cut over, who is the woman?" Who are the men? ”

"Although the daughter-in-law is a woman, she also knows that she will take precautions, the enemy army will press the border, and Shiro will fight outside, will the daughter-in-law be captured and sit back and watch her children be captured?"

Emperor Hongwu said: "You have too little confidence in Shiro, think he can't protect Beiping City?" ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "Shiro went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and the victory of the Northern Expedition was not a day's work, and the daughter-in-law was proud to marry such a husband. But the daughter-in-law never only knows to stand behind the man to shelter from the wind and rain, the daughter-in-law hopes to contribute her meager strength to the town guarding the Yandi, and the handsome soldiers practice attacking the mountain, just to sharpen their will and always remind themselves to be prepared for danger in times of peace. In the future, if there is danger, the daughter-in-law has the ability to save herself and protect the border pass. ”

The road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. No matter how picky Emperor Hongwu is, Xu Miaoyi has a bunch of rhetoric to follow, and Emperor Hongwu secretly thinks that this daughter-in-law should go to be the imperial history, and she is too good at talking.

Emperor Hongwu said: "If this goes on for a long time, the husband of the Yan Wangfu will not be laughed at." ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "The daughter-in-law heard that when the queen mother was young, the enemy army came to attack, and the queen mother led the women and children in the city to defend the city, refused to surrender, and resisted until the emperor's reinforcements lifted the siege, and the daughter-in-law admired the queen mother very much. The daughter-in-law feels that between husband and wife, they should support each other like the emperor and the queen mother, rely on each other, and make every effort to protect the people around them who spend their lives together. As for other people's eyes, they don't have to care the most, when the emperor joined the Red Turban Army, those who were blinded by rats laughed at them as bandits, and now the emperor is the son of heaven, and those who laugh at the emperor have turned into a handful of loess. ”

Even Queen Ma and herself moved out as an example, and everything was true, Emperor Hongwu couldn't refute it.

Xu Miaoyi took advantage of the victory to pursue, "As for the husband's sluggishness...... If a husband's excellence and prestige require a wife's weakness and forbearance to be revealed, this kind of fragile self-esteem is really ridiculous. When a man and a woman get married and spend their lives together, their parents will grow old, their children will grow up, and in the end, they can only be husband and wife. There are many kinds of husband and wife, others are the icing on the cake of the husband and wife, the daughter-in-law and Shiro are evenly matched who can send each other in the snow, the daughter-in-law and Shiro have come together after a lot of hardships, it's not easy, the daughter-in-law feels sorry for Shiro and wants to have the ability to solve problems for him, is this also wrong? ”

Look how good I am to your son!

Emperor Hongwu was speechless when he said it, he was a pragmatic person, although this daughter-in-law was too difficult, but he also secretly admired Xu Miaoyi in his heart, maybe only such a woman could sit firmly in the position of the hostess of Yandi.

This matter is revealed. But there's another thing.

are all smart people, Emperor Hongwu said straight to the point: "This summer, you have a very leisurely life in the summer resort, almost every month and month, and the guests in the villa are continuous. ”

Xu Miaoyi knew it and said: "The daughter-in-law is just to relieve Princess Qin, I hope she will get better as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Hongwu asked, "Is it really that simple?" ”

Xu Miaoyi sighed, "In fact, before the daughter-in-law invited the princesses to the banquet, she expected that there would be a lot of gossip outside, what kind of party and selfish business, what kind of bribery, and the plot of misdeeds is essential." ”

Emperor Hongwu asked, "In that case, why do you still insist on doing it?" is so high-profile, it has been spread out of the capital. ”

Xu Miaoyi simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "Your Majesty, although Princess Qin was born in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, she is the second sister-in-law of the daughters-in-law after all, and she was beaten innocently, and the daughters-in-law sympathized with her. What's more, sooner or later, the daughters-in-law will have to follow the prince to the domain, and the separation is probably goodbye. ”

"We have been together for many years, and we have some feelings, Princess Dai and Princess An are still the daughter-in-law's sisters, to be honest, I am really reluctant, taking advantage of the fact that everyone is in the capital, and they have not yet settled in the domain, it is good to get together one more time. The children can also play around together, it is very lively, and everyone has a lot of fun. ”

The daughters-in-law are close, the grandchildren are harmonious, and Emperor Hongwu, the patriarch, is of course willing to see such a scene, but ......

The royal family, what they care about most is the supreme imperial power. Xu Miaoyi's words and deeds challenged the authority of the East Palace, and the princes and princesses took Princess Yan as the head of the horse, and they were firmly encircled, how could the East Palace not be in a hurry?

In fact, if the crown princess Chang of the East Palace is still there, or if the prince marries a stepfamily, it will not be Princess Yan's turn at all. But the prince wanted to promote his eldest son, Zhu Yunwen, but he refused to continue. The power of the Chang family is still strong, and the son-in-law Zhu Yunxi has also grown up healthily, and it is impossible for the prince to support Concubine Lu and make Concubine Lu the princess and preside over the overall situation.

Donggong Yunwen's wife Ma is a granddaughter-in-law who is very delicate and loved by the emperor, and it is rumored that Ma is still a member of the Ma Queen's family, but she is the eldest concubine, who of these princes and princesses will take the younger Ma in their eyes?

Concubine Lu of the East Palace exhausted her organs and forced the princess to death, and the concubine firmly suppressed the concubine, but there must be gains and losses, and she gained power in the harem, but in the political capital of the entire royal family, the East Palace actually suffered heavy losses, and was picked up by Princess Yan.

Xu Miaoyi was like a mirror in her heart, and she secretly said that this situation was not deliberately done by me, the East Palace Palace was fighting, and I had damaged my vitality, but I had never done anything.

It's just that this layer of window paper, you know that I know the world, but I can't pierce it.

Xu Miaoyi pretended not to know, "This matter is actually purely a family matter, the concubines are in contact with each other, love each other, the royal family is harmonious, and the father and queen mother are also happy to watch." But some people have to get involved in politics, for fear that the world will not be chaotic, and they always feel that we, the vassal kings, are plotting against each other, shouting all day long about cutting the domain, and finding all kinds of reasons to cut the domain, and even the daughter-in-law invited a few concubines to watch the play and hold a banquet is a reason to cut the domain, and the daughter-in-law of the black pot is wronged. 166 Reading Network
