"Since you have been begging me to kill you and scratch you, I am not afraid to come, then I will fulfill you, take it down, and Ling Chi will be executed." Zhu Di was expressionless and said coldly.

The Guards replied, "Yes! Emperor! After speaking, he went down with the blood of Zhu Yan, who was paralyzed.

Only then did Zhu Di glance at the old man who had been kneeling on the other side and trembling, frowned, and asked in disbelief, "You caught Zhu Yanxue?" ”

The old man nodded, his voice as old as old, "It's old decay." ”

Zhu Di glanced at the old man again, and asked a little suspiciously, "Do you know who Zhu Yanxue is?" ”

"The old man knows that the thief woman is the leader of the bandits in Matoufeng, the former Xuzhou Mansion."

"Well, it seems that you have a clear door. It's just that this thief woman has superb martial arts, and there are a lot of small leaders around to protect her, with your staggering body, how can you catch this thief woman? ”

"When the old man met this thief woman, she was alone, there was no one else around, and she was highly poisonous and dying at the time. Later, when I went to the street one day, I found that there was a portrait on the notice posted on the street, half of which was disfigured and half of the country was beautiful. So I unveiled the notice and went back to compare, and sure enough, this woman was Zhu Yanxue! This is a criminal of the imperial court, and the old man is so bold that he doesn't dare to take her in anymore, so he hurriedly reported to the official. The old man said tremblingly, and this short period of ins and outs directly said that there was most of the tea.

Zhu Di nodded, as if he knew it in his chest, "I see, old man, you inadvertently arrested the imperial court's criminals, and you have made a contribution to the country, and I have promised a reward, what do you want, say it to me, I will give it to you." ”

The old man hurriedly bowed down, "Where does the old man dare to accept any reward from the emperor, but he just doesn't dare to take in the Qin prisoner, he is already flattered and grateful to be able to meet the saint today!" ”

Zhu Di smiled, "That being said, I can't treat you badly. Li Xing, give one hundred taels of gold to this old man. Serve him well for a royal banquet, and then send him out of the palace alive. ”

Li Xing replied, "Yes." ”

I hurriedly stopped, "Hey, Your Majesty, wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Di looked at me and wondered.

"This old man knows how to Qi Huang, although the injury on my chest is healed now, but it always gets sick from time to time, especially before the rainy day, it is sore, I want to ask this old gentleman to take a look, I don't know if the emperor can agree?" I said with a smile.

Before Zhu Di could answer, the old man had already excused himself and said, "The old man is just a barefoot doctor, where did he see this and this ...... Forgive the old man for being stupid, dare to ask who this beautiful girl is? ”

Zhu Di heard the old man praise me, looked at me fondly, and smiled at him, "This is the new concubine who is about to be canonized." ”

"Yikes! The old and old eyes are dizzy, and they don't know Mount Tai, and the mother forgives the sins! In this way, the old man does not dare to sacrifice his ugliness in front of his mother. The old man lowered his head and said more harshly.

I smiled and said, "The old gentleman doesn't have to be humble, since he can cure the poisonous wound of Zhu Yanxue, he must be a master of Qihuang, if he dislikes my poor fortune and is unwilling to heal, then I don't dare to force it." ”

When the old man heard me say this, his face fell, "This ......"

Zhu Di slightly? The first said, "There is no need to shirk anymore, you give the concubine a good look, what medicines and supplements do you need, just ask, if you heal the mother, I will reward you again." ”

The old man hurriedly knelt down and fell to the ground, "Thank you for not thinking the old body is stupid, the old body will definitely do his best." ”

Zhu Di no longer paid attention to the old man, and gently leaned to my side and whispered, "Do you want him to show you now, or leave him in the palace and make a good diagnosis another day?" ”

"Let's keep him first, I want to spend more time with you this time."

Zhu Di smiled quietly and waved his hand at Li Xing, and Li Xing immediately took the old man down.

Zhu Di sat in front of the long case, looking down at the fold, and I sat next to him, picked up a book of historical records and flipped through it. After looking at it for a while, he saw Zhu Di's gloomy face, and couldn't help asking, "What did you see that made you unhappy?" ”

"Zhu Neng caught Tie Xian back, saying that he refused to surrender and refused to recognize my throne." Zhu Di said with a gloomy face.

I also gasped, the last thing Zhu Di wants to face is those who refuse to admit him, as long as he is contaminated with these, he will inevitably be angry. I knew that this was the knot left by him to seize the throne from his nephew, and even if others tried to persuade him, it was difficult to be effective, so he never persuaded him, so he pretended to be indifferent and said, "He? A scholar, just admit death, you don't have to worry about him. ”

"I don't care about them, they have to worry about me, those who surrender to me on the surface and are not convinced in their hearts are eager to make trouble with these people, help them get angry, last time Fang Xiaoru is the best example, and now there is an iron string, do you think I can be generous and polite and let them be abused and then raise them well?" Zhu Di exhaled from his nose, looking very angry.

"Fang Xiaoru is going to be executed in a few days, right?" When I mentioned Fang Xiaoru, I suddenly remembered the screams and cries I heard outside the Jinyi Health Department that day, and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, so I opened my mouth and asked.

Zhu Di glanced at me thoughtfully, frowned, and said, "I thought that he was very knowledgeable, and I wanted to give him a chance, as long as he admitted his mistake, I would let him and his people have a way to live, and send him to a remote place to be a teacher, but I didn't expect this guy to be stubborn, not only regardless of his own life and death, but also regardless of the life and death of his own ten clansmen, and would rather die than admit his mistake!" Five days later, all his closest relatives will be slaughtered in front of him, and I will drag him to the noon gate and execute him!" Let future generations see if they don't accept my fate. ”

I smiled reluctantly, "Since this person is like this, there is no need to be angry. ”

Pulling me to my lap and sitting down, "Do you think I'm too cruel?" ”

“…… No. I shook my head.

"It's not that I'm cruel, you don't know how to govern the country. Today, you think that Fang Xiaoru is pitiful, and that his family is even more innocent, but think about it, if I don't punish him severely, there will only be more people who think that I am a soft persimmon, you can pinch it casually, if the dignity of the Son of Heaven is gone, this country will not have much gas, in this way, there will be unscrupulous people who covet the throne, and then there will be disputes, once the war comes, the casualties will be counted by ten, hundred, and thousand, and the suffering of the people in Dawn will be even longer. Historically, at the beginning of the king's rule, he had to use strict government to establish authority to make the people safe, and only when the country was stable could he use benevolent government to make the country strong. Zhu Di said a little helplessly.

I sighed, "The way of governing the country is really profound, and you tell me that it is like playing the harp to a cow." It's just that I thought that Taizu should be a wise emperor, and his approach is exactly the same as what you said, and he will become a king...... After all, when they were young, they were not in good health for a few years on the throne. ”

Zhu Di sneered, "You little woman can still see through this truth, but those bearded men who are known as important ministers of the former dynasty are confused and can't see through it at all." only recognized him as the heir personally appointed by his father, so he was the only one to look ahead, and I, no matter how good I did, in their eyes, it was still not right after all. ”

"Then you go and do things, one day the Ming Dynasty will be rich and the people will be strong in your hands, and no one will dare to underestimate you."

"I know." Zhu Di smiled at me, "I don't know what's going on, I used to rarely talk and always do things in a down-to-earth manner, but now, I always like to complain to you." Xu is getting older, maybe he has changed. ”

"Neither." I held his face with both hands and grinned, "You trust me, and I feel very happy." If you have any dissatisfaction, always holding back, one day you will be suffocated, it is better to tell me more, give me a long insight, but also express the depression in your heart, kill two birds with one stone, why not? ”

Zhu Di and I looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

At this moment, Li Xing suddenly came in, saw this scene, hurriedly lowered his body, pretending not to see, I got off Zhu Di's lap with a red face, Zhu Di paused, and then said with a straight face, "What's the matter, anxious and panicking?" ”

"The queen is asking to see her outside." Li Xing replied in a low voice.

"I know that she is coming to intercede with me for her uncompetitive brother, I don't know the righteousness, the woman's opinion, tell her to go down, I don't want to see her, so I say I'm busy." Zhu Di frowned and said impatiently.

Li Xing was about to go out, I stopped him and said to Zhu Di, "You husband and wife, for more than 20 years, even if her brother is guilty now, she can't take the relationship between husband and wife, since the queen mother has come to beg you, you should still see it, even if it is perfunctory?" You can't make the queen feel cold. ”

Zhu Di glanced at me, "Do you think I should see her?" ”

"There is no right or not, if a wife wants to see her husband, if she can't see it, it is really a sadness." I said with feeling.

Zhu Di stopped arguing with me and said to Li Xing, "Let her in." ”

"I'm hiding a little, the queen mother sees me here, I'm afraid that my heart will become more and more unhappy." I walked behind Zhu Di's bookshelf, and Zhu Di didn't stop me.

When I was about to hide my body, Xu Yunhua had already walked in. She didn't bring any maids in, she slowly moved in front of Zhu Di by herself, wearing a gray-green speed robe, and just a simple wishful bun on her head, not to mention the phoenix crown, not even the hairpin ring, and there was no grease powder on her face. If a middle-aged woman gives up dressing up, she can only look more and more like a middle-aged woman. Even the wrinkles on her face were faintly visible. <
