Now that the plan has been decided, Dai Sigong and Zhilan retreated and left, and Ah Xiu stayed, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that she seemed to have something to say, and smiled gently: "Ah Xiu has something, you might as well say it directly." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ah Xiu heard that he didn't call him the queen, but only said his maiden name, and his heart was very useful, but his face was more respectful: "There is something about the previous dynasty, the concubine wants to say, but His Majesty ordered the harem not to interfere in politics, so the concubine was afraid." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and took her hand, climbed the stairs, sat in the dragon chair, and La Axiu sat nearby: "I call you Ah Xiu, you are not the queen, if you have something to do with the previous dynasty in the future, you just need to call yourself Ah Xiu, I will only treat it as gossip between civilian couples, so, it doesn't matter." ”

Ah Xiu finally smiled with relief: "The husband treats Ah Xiu leniently, and Ah Xiu is very grateful." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Ah Xiu just say it." Ah Xiu stroked the dragon pattern on Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve, and said softly: "In August, Mr. Berwyn offended Master Hu of Taichang Shaoqing and resigned, and now it has been nearly two months, does the husband intend to recall Mr. Berwyn?" ”

"Ah Xiu knows why I didn't stop my husband from leaving the court?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Why?" "At the end of the old years, I asked him who was worthy of the position of prime minister, he only said Xu Da, I asked Li Shanchang how he was, he was silent, and then only said that the prime minister is like a pillar, and he must use thick and strong wood, if he uses fine wood, the house will collapse immediately."

I asked Yang Xian again, and he said that Yang Xian had talent but no energy, and he was not peaceful and open-minded enough. I asked Wang Guangyang how he was, and he replied: 'His qi is narrower than Yang Xian's. So I asked Hu Weiyong again, and he simply said: "For example, I am afraid of his disobedience." I asked him why, and he said that once the little calf was reused, it would be a good disaster. ”

Ah Xiu frowned slightly when he heard this, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Since this is the case, I will say, 'My prime minister, only you are the most suitable, sir. But what about him? But he refused and said, 'I am too vicious and hateful, and I am not good at handling complicated affairs, if I reluctantly take on the heavy responsibility, I am afraid that I will have to live up to the emperor's commission.' There is no talent in the world, as long as the emperor pays attention to it. ”

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also asked Ah Xiu quite angrily: "Tell me, he is so proud and looks down on his colleagues, why do I insist on keeping him?" Ah Xiu heard that it was because of this, but smiled: "Does the husband think that he is arrogant?" But I think the gentleman is very accurate. ”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's puzzled face, Ah Xiu explained: "Mr. Xu Da is a pillar of the world, so he can naturally be worthy of the prime minister. In order to make up the double phase, the husband asked other people, and Mr. did not evaluate Li Shanchang because he was gentle on the outside, harsh on the inside, and slightly pedantic in his political views, which could not be compared with Xu Da. As for the others, Ah Xiu has been watching coldly for many years, and I think that as Mr. said, it is okay to be an official in the court, but it is embarrassing to be a prime minister. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and asked Ah Xiu: "Do you also think that Li Shanchang is overwhelmed?" Ah Xiu smiled: "It's not that it's overwhelmed, it's just embarrassing to be the prime minister." Xu Da is generous and gentle, but Li Shanchang loves to be jealous, as the prime minister, humanity is the prime minister's belly can support the boat, Li Shanchang treats people harshly, so he should not be the prime minister, if the husband is only for the complete double phase, it is enough. Several other people are all talents, not as good as Li Shanchang, how can they be the same? ”

"As for Mr. Berwyn, if he is really arrogant and arrogant, why would he retreat to the mountains and wilderness without a foothold in the Yuan court? The people of the territory where he served all loved and admired him, which shows that this person's way of government is to love the people and be close to the people. Moreover, throughout the ages, the more talented you are, the more you have petty habits that are not enough for outsiders, for example, Li Taibai once asked Gao Lishi to take off his boots, maybe his words and deeds are debauched, and he is out of honor in front of the emperor, but he is talented and flawed. Don't alienate Mr. Berwyn because of his arrogance, but call him back. ”

Ah Xiu's words were earnest, reasonable, and Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and was silent for a while. Ah Xiu pointed to the bookcase: "The four treasures of the humane study are important, but Ah Xiu feels that the paperweight is more important: the paperweight can make the paper upright and unmoving, so that it is convenient for calligraphy and painting. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finally nodded: "Ah Xiu is reasonable, but he asked to leave, and he will be recalled in two months, so as not to be criticized." Ah Xiu smiled: "Lack of talents, visiting the virtuous and recruiting talents is, the Ming Dynasty is close to the people and lightly endowed, and there are virtuous ministers to follow, so there is no need to rush for a while." If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can also try the people who do not advocate the establishment of the appearance one by one in a high position, and the superior will have an opinion. ”

Ah Xiu got up and saluted: "It's time to eat, I promised Cheng Huan to eat with her today, and the concubine retired." Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed her: "So you're leaving?" I'll go with you. Ah Xiu smiled shyly: "If you go together, you will go together, now the princess and the prince have another residence and palace people to serve, except for asking for peace every month, they rarely meet on weekdays." ”

The two came out together, Ah Xiu wanted to withdraw his hand, but Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately caught it tighter, and the two returned to Kunning Palace hand in hand. Walking to the front of Kunning Palace, a beautiful female doll at the entrance of the hall rushed out and threw herself into Ah Xiu's arms: "Mother! Ah Xiu smiled: "Waited for a long time?" Why don't you call your dad? ”

"Father!" Cheng Huan blushed and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a blessing. Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be surprised: "Why do you call your mother your mother, but you call your father but your father?" Cheng Huan grinned: "My father is from the world, and my mother is mine, how can it be the same?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Your mother is from the world, and she is also your father's, you girl plan to swallow it alone?" Cheng Huan pulled Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve and swayed: "My father has so many beautiful concubines, why do you want to rob your mother with Cheng Huan?" Is it good to let it go? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ah Xiu, and said to Cheng Huan half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Because your mother is more precious than all the concubines in the harem combined." So Daddy can't let it. Ah Xiu saw the two of them bickering, and pulled them inside together: "Although it's September, after all, it's still hot and the summer hasn't gone away, so it's not too late for you to go in and fight again." ”

The three of them came in, and Su Xin and the others had already prepared dishes and chopsticks. Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Ah Xiu to sit next to him, Cheng Huan was also sitting close to Ah Xiu, a big table of three people squeezed together, Ah Xiu quipped: "You sit so close to me, how can I eat?" ”

Su Xin couldn't help but smile and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a cloth dish: "Niangniang is fragrant, the emperor and the princess refuse to let it, Niangniang and endure it, when they finish eating, it doesn't hurt for Niangniang to eat again." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud: "That's it, I'll sit down, you can also sit down, and let your mother eat." ”

Cheng Huan saw that Zhu Yuanzhang moved out, and he moved himself, Ah Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty and the princess's kindness, I am embarrassed by Fu Bo, thank you two for retreating, I can finally raise my hand to eat." (To be continued.) )
