Xu Huizu stayed awake almost all night, and only when it was almost dawn did he sleep for a while.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! ”

"What's wrong?" Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Huizu woke up suddenly, and after a little relief, he heard the voice of his own soldier Xu Yi, and said, "Xu Yi, is something wrong?" ”

"The emperor summoned you, and the messenger is outside!"

"Ahh Xu Huizu sat up suddenly, shook his head vigorously, and then said in a loud voice: "Come in, my lord wants to clean his face and wash up, and bring the court clothes!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Xu Huizu got up, dressed, freshened up as quickly as possible, and put on the court clothes of the prince and went out to receive the order. The messenger was a brocade guard, and the purpose was very simple, let him go to Xiaoling to see him. After Xu Huizu received the decree, he made a little arrangement, and then got up and rushed to Xiaoling to meet Zhu Yunwen.

……

"Your Majesty, how fortunate Wei Chen is to be able to serve the Holy Monarch of the Ages. This song "Qinyuan Spring" is magnificent, swallowing mountains and rivers, far surpassing the previous emperors, it can be described as a swan song for the ages! ”

Zhu Yunwen finished waving, and as soon as he put down the pen, Xie Jin next to him knelt on the ground and praised him loudly, and Yang Shiqi, Liu Zhen, Changfu and others next to him also quickly knelt on the ground and praised repeatedly.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhu Yunwen raised his head and made a memorial note: "This poem is a feeling I had when I was in the northern country, since ancient times, the right thing to be on the throne is no more than the first emperor, his old man is wise and martial, and he has recreated China, I wanted to write a poem to praise the first emperor at that time, but unfortunately it was not conceived until last night, I hope to be worthy of his old man's great achievements!" ”

"Your Majesty, this poem has a good artistic conception and is very appropriate, and the old minister earnestly asks that His Majesty's handwritten inscription be erected in front of His Majesty's spirit and erected in front of His Majesty's spirit, so that future generations can know the great cause of the first emperor, and also show His Majesty's benevolence and filial piety!" Changfu knelt on the ground and pleaded with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, the minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Zhu Yunwen feels that his face is getting thicker and thicker, and he doesn't know how many later poems he has plagiarized in recent years, such as "If life is only as it was when I first saw it, what is the autumn wind and sad fan." "Who has written history for 10,000 years, looking for a marquis 3,000 miles away. "It seems that this star is not last night, for whom the wind is exposed and the middle of the night. "And so on, just the more brilliant ones. However, this time Zhu Yunwen's plagiarism can be said to be a big deal, choosing the masterpieces of later generations, but it is also consistent with Zhu Yuanzhang's historical achievements.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen is not just to pretend to be forced, he remembers that he came to Xiaoling in his previous life, and there was Zhu Di's "Sacred Merit Tablet" in the cemetery, which was not bad, but now it is impossible to have it, so he always felt that something was missing, but fortunately, yesterday's heavy snow gave him some inspiration, so after getting up in the morning, he brewed it for a while, and wrote the famous article "Qinyuan Spring. Snow:

The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging.

Mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, want to be higher than the heavenly public test.

It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists.

Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu are slightly less coquettish.

A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle.

The past, the number of romantic figures, but also look at the present.

The people present were the highest in Xie Jin's literary style and the fastest response, followed by Yang Shiqi, as for Changfu, he was actually literate, but he didn't want to show it, in comparison, Liu Zhen was worse, but everyone said that it was good, and he could only follow.

At this time, the eunuch reported that Xu Huizu was coming, and Zhu Yunwen nodded and let him in. When Xu Huizu came in, he found that everyone was there around a piece of paper and admired them, while Emperor Zhu Yunwen sat on the main seat, looking at them with a smile. Xu Huizu was surprised, but he didn't show it, but knelt down first and saluted, shouting long live.

Zhu Yunwen walked down, picked up Xu Huizu, walked to the bookcase, pointed to his "masterpiece" and said: "Wei Guogong, I remember the first emperor, compose a lyric, just now everyone wants to erect a monument in the filial piety tomb, and engrave this poem to commemorate the first emperor's achievements in the world, what do you think?" ”

"This?" Xu Huizu looked at it fixedly, and immediately felt a domineering aura rushing towards him, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground again: "The first emperor is wise and martial, Your Majesty is benevolent and filial piety, this word is very suitable, and the minister seconded it!" ”

"Well, that's good, so be it!"

"Yes!"

After dealing with the matter of pretending to be forced, Zhu Yunwen let everyone out, leaving only Xu Huizu.

"Sit down, Wei Guogong, I'm afraid you've been tired in the past two days, something happened at home, I summoned you back to Beijing at night, and asked you to rush here, I'm afraid I didn't rest last night, right?"

Listening to the emperor's gentle words, Xu Huizu knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister didn't expect the eldest sister to do such a thing, the minister is guilty of negligence, and I hope Your Majesty will punish you!" ”

“……”

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, and said, "Wei Guogong, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Come on, bring some food to Wei Guogong! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The meal is very simple, just a bowl of soy milk, four fried sticks and some pickles, these are what Zhu Yunwen likes to eat, and they are also his favorites in later generations. But to be honest, Xu Huizu doesn't like to eat much, but the king has a gift, he doesn't dare not eat, so he picked up the fritters a little woodenly, stuffed them into his mouth one bite at a time, finished eating the fritters, drank the soy milk, and ate a few bites of side dishes, Xu Huizu put down the chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has finished eating!" ”

"Wei Guogong, have you seen Wang Du's recital?"

"I've seen it."

"Any thoughts?"

"Minister, minister, Your Majesty," Xu Huizu slowly knelt on the ground and sobbed: "The minister is willing to swear by the spirit of his father in the sky, the minister has absolutely no intention of rebellion, and the minister's brother is also loyal to the emperor, please Your Majesty must believe in Weichen." ”

"I, I can trust you, but how can you guarantee that Xu Zengshou has no objections?" Zhu Yunwen said word by word.

"This," Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied: "Zengshou is on the orders of His Majesty to deal with the traitorous party, how can he not know that he will be defeated?" Although he was reckless, he was not a fool, and he would not do such a thing. ”

"But when King Yan rebelled, Xu Zengshou reported the news, why is this? Did he think that King Yan could win? ”

"At that time, he was young and shallow, and he didn't know His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, and he didn't see clearly that Yan Yi was just fierce and vulnerable, but after training, he would no longer be as ignorant of current affairs as he was back then."

Looking at Xu Huizu, who was kneeling and kowtowing and seeing blood on his forehead, Zhu Yunwen sighed: "Wei Guogong, get up." ”

"Don't dare!"

"Okay," Zhu Yunwen paused for a moment and said, "Wei Guogong, are you still loyal to me?" ”

"Of course, the minister swears allegiance to His Majesty!"

"Okay, I believe you, you get up, I'll give you the bottom today!"

Speaking of which, Xu Huizu had no choice but to get up, but he didn't dare to sit yet.

"Wei Guogong, when Yan rebelled, it took you more than 20 days to rush from Beijing to Datong, blocked the north entrance of Juyong Pass, ensured that Shanxi was not invaded by Yan Rebellion, and threatened Beiping from the northwest; Later, he conquered Juyong Pass, and surrounded Beiping with Ping'an, Sheng Yong, and Geng Xuan; During the battle between Yan Wei and Sheng Yong, you arrived in time and conquered Beiping, and I remember all these credits. ”

"But I only rewarded you with some wealth, did you ever resent me?"

"No, the minister is grateful that Your Majesty did not have the Xu family at that time!"

"Actually, the reason is very simple, I already knew about Xu Zengshou Tongyan at that time, so I didn't reward you, but I still put Xu Yihua back to the Xu family, I hope that your Xu family can be with the royal family from beginning to end, and become a generation of good stories!"

"But what I never expected was that this Xu Yihua would use the list to promote rebellion, causing a shocking disaster! Coupled with Xu Zengshou's accidental death, I didn't know how to deal with it for a while. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Minister......"

"I came to Xiaoling just to think things through, and I barely slept last night, and it was almost dawn to figure things out. For the matter of Xu Zengshou, I will execute Ji Gang, deputy director of the Department of Security, in the name of dereliction of duty, and the director Hu Hu will be removed from his post for investigation, and at the same time posthumously crown Xu Zengshou as a marquis, a hereditary earl, and his son Xu Jingchang's heir, just call him He Lin Bo, and commend him for his contribution to capturing Erle Burke! ”

"Xu Yihua's matter, since she is dead, then I will not expand it anymore and will not implicate the Xu family, but you are also guilty of negligence, and your Yulu will be cut off by a thousand stones, and at the same time fined two years, can you be convinced?"

Xu Huizu was struck by lightning, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty is forgiving, and the guilty ministers are convinced, and there is no complaint!" ”

Xu Huizu was grateful, but he heard a voice above his head: "I forgive this time, it is for the sake of King Zhongshan's great achievements, but there will be no next time, if something similar happens again, I will never be forgiving, do you understand?" ”

"The guilty minister understands, the guilty minister bows to His Majesty's heavenly grace, and the criminal minister thanks His Majesty's heavenly grace!"

"Of course, you don't have to be afraid, this is Xiaoling, I swear in the name of the first emperor, the guilt of the Xu family will be written off from now on, and no one will mention and pursue it again, do you understand?"

"Sinners understand!"

……

After appeasing Xu Huizu, Zhu Yunwen asked him to sit down and handed him a notebook: "Wei Guogong, take a look!" ”

Xu Huizu unfolded the song and looked at it, and was shocked: "Shandong White Lotus Sect rebellion? King Qi is missing? ”

"Yes, I received this last night."

"Your Majesty, the location of Shandong is very important, you can attack the Beijing division in the south, you can attack Beijing in the north, and you can also cut off the canal, in addition, there are more than 100,000 troops in the imperial court to fight in Korea, most of the soldiers and grass come from Shandong, once the army is unstable, I am afraid that the good situation in North Korea will be buried!"

"Well, I think so too, this rebellion involves a lot of people, and I will kill a lot of people, so you don't want to stay in Jingshi, so as not to be remembered. Xu Huizu! ”

"In!"

"I order you to go north immediately and quickly put down the rebellion, there must be no mistake!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"As for the army, I will send Zhang Fu and Cao Yushu's troops to the north with you, and General Xu Kai will also accompany you, and the garrisons in Huaibei and Shandong will be transferred by you, but is there a problem?"

"No problem!"

"Very good," Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, and then said: "Now the Ming Dynasty is also an eventful season, a few days ago I got the news that the Japanese raided the Ryukyus, the sailors of the imperial court were hit hard, Wu Zhong died in battle, and the descendants of the golden family who were exiled to the Ryukyus during the first emperor were plundered, and Mobei is afraid that there will be another turmoil!" ”

"The Japanese are so reckless. It seems that the conquest is inevitable! ”

While speaking, Zhu Yunwen picked up another piece of music and said: "Now the grassland is unified again, and Ugqi holds great power, but a few days ago, his envoy Arslen informed me that Timur in the Western Regions has the intention of invading eastward, and has issued a call to the grassland, agreeing to divide the land of our Ming Dynasty. I have sent an edict to Song Sheng, telling him to be on guard, Timur should not be underestimated! ”

"Also, Annan in the south is also not at ease, not only occupying my Ming land and not returning it, but also saying that the Chen family has become extinct, and the Li family is the nephew of the Chen family, and he was elected as the king, and asked me to be crowned, I was a little suspicious at the time, but I couldn't veto it without evidence, but now there are rumors that the Li family usurped power and ascended the throne and killed the Chen family, which made me very annoyed."

Xu Huizu listened quietly, and then said: "Your Majesty, Huizu is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty!" ”

"Well, I will also let Mahamu and Arutai go with you on the expedition, you have to carefully observe whether they are sincere and obedient, if there is anything abnormal, there will be no forgiveness!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

"Huizu, I plan to accept Miaojin into the palace, Concubine Fengchen, do you think it's good?"

“…… Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

Xu Huizu slowly knelt down and said.
