Chapter 169: The Emperor's Heart
Zixian glanced at the rabbit with pity, and returned to the stream to pick up the wild fruit: "Eat this." ”
Jairus nodded, grabbed a wild fruit, and took a bite with a "click": "It's still quite sweet." ”
In fact, this wild fruit is sour and astringent, although there is a hint of sweetness, but it is not very delicious. Jairus said this, just because it was handed to him by Zixian, even if it was not delicious, he was willing to eat it.
Zixian smiled faintly at Jianxi, walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, untied his fixing technique, and handed him a fruit: "Here, you can eat some too, I haven't eaten for a day." ”
I thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would say something nonsense like "you just let me eat this", but who knew that he took it without hesitation, gnawed it in a big gulp, and ate it all in a few clicks.
Seeing this, Zixian handed over several more, and Zhu Yuanzhang ate six or seven in a row before stopping.
"You, the emperor, are interesting, the wild fruits in the mountains are so sweet." Zixian smiled lightly.
"In the past, I was a monk and a beggar, I had no clothes and food, and in the event of a famine, it was a great fortune to have a wild fruit to satisfy my hunger, and where was there any reason to dislike it."
Zixian had also heard that Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of this dynasty, had been poor since he was a child, but he didn't expect to be really poor. Now that the legendary beggar emperor was in front of her, her curiosity was suddenly aroused, and she waited quietly for him to say more.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not shy away from it, and when he saw that Zixian was willing to listen, he continued to tell.
"Later, when I became an emperor, I ate a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas that I couldn't even think of before. But then I realized that those delicacies of the mountains and seas were far less sweet than the wild fruits in the time of hunger and cold. ”
"There was once a man who wanted to please me, and knowing that I missed the wild fruits of my hometown, he went to Fengyang to pick them, mixed them with honey, and presented them to me on a crystal plate. When I ate it, I felt that it didn't taste right, so I killed him for the crime of deceitful king. ”
Later, another person found out about it. Then he gave me the wild fruits that had not been mixed directly with branches and leaves. I was overjoyed when I saw it, but when I took a bite, I found it extremely unpalatable. In a fit of rage, I beheaded the whole house. ”
"Now that I think about it, it's not a problem with wild fruits. It's me, it's me who has changed......"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, and actually shed two lines of tears.
Zixian looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, knowing that this was an opportunity, so he sat next to him. He asked faintly: "Your Majesty, you told me before that your ideal is to be the emperor who has ruled the widest territory and reigned the longest time in history. So, that's what you've been thinking since you were very young? ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes gradually drifted away, and he looked at the distant void and muttered, "No." When I was very young, I couldn't even eat enough every day, and I wanted the most at that time. It's just no more hunger. ”
"And then? Is it possible? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "It's realized." Later, I entered the barracks, and the barracks were full of steamed buns. ”
"After you have enough to eat, what is your ideal?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a rare trace of shyness: "At that time, I wanted to marry a daughter-in-law...... Then I met Su-young. I like her a lot. ”
"That's good. Does she like you? ”
"She liked me too, so she married me. I was a poor bastard back then. ”
Zixian nodded: "You are so lucky to meet a good woman." And what about later? ”
"Later, ah......" Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "When she married me, I didn't have anything, so I wanted her to live a good life with me in the future." ”
"Then aren't you doing very well now, one is the king of the world, and the other is the mother of the world. How many people envy. There is nothing better than the life of your family. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Yes." My so-young is now the queen. ”
"When I wanted to canonize her, there were even ministers who wrote that she couldn't be the queen, saying that the queen didn't have such big feet. Hum. I think her feet are pretty good. No one but her qualifies for this. ”
Zixian smiled softly: "I think too." ”
"What about you, what ideals did you have when you were a child?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Me, when I was a child, my parents passed away very early, and then I went to study art......"
……
Jianwei watched Zixian and Zhu Yuanzhang talk happily. I felt a little lonely in my heart, but I knew that the master must have her intentions in doing this, so I didn't bother.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened very carefully and occasionally commented on one or two sentences.
Although Zixian can see that he is very interested in his story, the heart of the emperor has always been unpredictable, otherwise how to say that a companion is like a tiger? Therefore, Zixian omitted all the names in the story, and the name of the sect was also sinisterly replaced with "Tianshan School".
In case Zhu Yuanzhang can't think of it, and he has to destroy his own nine clans, then the Tianshan Mountain faction will top the tank.
Zixian and Zhu Yuanzhang gathered around the jumping bonfire and chatted almost all night.
Zhu Yuanzhang never knew that he would talk so much. But he couldn't control it. It's been too long since anyone has been able to chat with him so peacefully.
As an emperor, he was not allowed to speak casually. A lot of words can only be put in the darkest corner of the heart, let it grow moldy and hairy, and dare not put it in the sun to bask in the sun.
Loneliness is the most terrible enemy, capable of destroying a person's will. No matter how powerful a person is, he is eager to communicate with others. It's just that the more powerful the person, the more difficult it is to find someone who can understand him.
It just so happens that Zixian is one of the few people who can understand him.
Moreover, Zixian is so knowledgeable, no matter what Zhu Yuanzhang says, she can understand it, and every word she says can be said to Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
In a trance, Zhu Yuanzhang had an illusion: this woman was not a stranger he had just met, but a confidant and friend he had known for several lifetimes.
It's like a reunion of old friends, and it's so beautiful.
At dawn, Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help the sleepiness in his body, his body was crooked, and he fell into a deep sleep.
It was only at this time that Jairus said to Zixian: "Master, how are you talking?" What's the catch? ”
Zixian thought for a while and said: "Although Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless, he is also a diligent and thrifty emperor. His ruthlessness is actually related to his experience. If he hadn't been ruthless, he might not have been able to get to where he is today. ”
Hearing this, she smiled and teased: "Yo, I can't see it, master, your position has become quite fast." ”
Zixian glanced at him and said angrily: "Who said I changed my position?" Just because I understand him doesn't mean I agree with his approach. I'm just talking about it. (To be continued.) )
