Liu Ji turned his head and glanced at Ma Du and said, "The old man is saying that the king of Fangshan is not suitable for the emperor's mausoleum." ”

Imperial Mausoleum? Ma Du looked at Lao Zhu and said, "The emperor is uncomfortable, Weichen will show you!" ”

Lao Zhu immediately scolded: "Get out of the way, I'm in good health." ”

Of course, his health is good, and he still has more than 20 years to live, is it too early to build a mausoleum?

Liu Ji said to Ma Du: "Ma Hou doesn't know that the emperor's mausoleum is generally built at the beginning of the emperor's ascension, and the emperor is the founder of the country, so the scale of the mausoleum is naturally larger." However, I have a lot of business to be prospered, and the emperor can't bear to increase the burden on the people, so he just asks the old man to survey and select the site, and then build it in the future. ”

Liu Ji is not only the middle of the imperial history, but also the position of Taishi Ling, observing celestial phenomena, compiling almanacs, etc. are also within the scope of his duties, to put it bluntly, he is Mr. Feng Shui, who helped Lao Zhu see the Yang Mansion and chose the Yin Mansion for him.

However, Fangshan is not a good place, there is a gunpowder bureau, a academy, especially a workshop with smoke and dust, if Lao Zhu sleeps there for a long time, he will not be able to live in peace, and Ma Du does not want his children and grandchildren to become Lao Zhu's mausoleum keepers.

"The emperor wants to choose the mausoleum, Fangshan is definitely not a good place, and if you want to build it, it should be built in Zhongshan!" Ma Du stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Zhong Shan.

Lao Zhu immediately became interested, "You said it should be built in Zhongshan?" Why was it built in Zhongshan? ”

Obviously, you chose it yourself, why did you turn around and ask Lao Tzu?

Ma Du groaned and explained: "Zhongshan Mountain is tall and majestic, and resembles a coiled dragon, and there is more purple gas lingering on the top of the mountain during the Jin Dynasty, which is also called the Purple Mountain. Playing Mount Everest at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain is quiet and pleasant, hidden but not exposed, gathering wind and absorbing qi, and it is a first-class dragon's lair. ”

Well, that's it, that's what the tour guide seems to have said at the beginning.

"Huh...... Playing Everest? When did you still know how to read Feng Shui? This is what the old man said, well, his old man has been to Yingtian. ”

Ma Du couldn't help but sigh, this lie became true if he said too much, and Lao Zhu had learned to take the initiative to help Ma Du lie.

Liu Ji also stood up and said: "Since it is the old layman who said it, it is true, Ma Hou said that he has also been to see the Everest Weichen, where the front is near the vast Pingchuan, and the back is located in the majestic green mountains, it is indeed a treasure of the dragon's lair where the king's qi gathers, and Sun Zhongmou of Dongwu is also buried nearby." ”

Ma Du said: "Liu Zhongcheng don't mention Dongwu, my emperor dominates the world, Sun Quan is in a corner of peace, how to compare." ”

Liu Ji really can't speak, the fifty years of the establishment of the country in Eastern Wu will be over, Lao Zhu hopes that the country will be inherited for 10,000 years, and he will be willing to bury it with Sun Quan.

"Don't worry, I won't worry about Fang Shan, you have a workshop and a firearms bureau there, especially a academy, I don't want a monkey to make noise on my grave in a hundred years."

Maybe because he was born in bitter haha, he has seen a lot of life and death in the troubled times, Lao Zhu is not superstitious about the way of immortality, and the courtiers shout long live at him every day, and they don't take it to heart at all.

"Since this place is as good as you say, I'll take a look when I have time." Lao Zhu looked at the food box in Ma Du's hand, "What did the queen cook, do you have stuffed tofu?" ”

"Naturally, there is! Niangniang knew that the emperor was still discussing state affairs with Chengyibo, so she asked Weichen to send him to entertain him. ”

Lao Zhu touched his stomach, "I came at the right time, I'm hungry!" Yuansheng, Yuansheng quickly set the table. Give me the stuffed tofu, and give the rest to Liu Qing. ”

"Weichen, thank you to the emperor and Niangniang Longen!" Liu Jichao and Lao Zhu bowed, and bowed in the direction of the Middle Palace.

Yuansheng moved a small table, Ma Du put the meals on the table one by one, and the remaining plate of Huang Cancan's stuffed tofu and rice was brought to Lao Zhu's imperial case, and then he turned back to Liu Ji and said, "Sincerity, leave me some space." ”

Lao Zhu sandwiched a piece of stuffed tofu and said, "Why don't you go back to the harem to eat?" ”

"No, there is no food in the harem, and Weichen doesn't want his mother to be busy anymore."

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Weichen is old and can't eat a few bites, I'm afraid that these many meals will be wasted, so let Ma Hou eat at the same table with me." ”

"Well, you can pay attention to the rules and don't lose my people."

Eating is silent, Lao Zhu has never been particular in the harem, and he is not particular about it in front of the generals, but when he came to Wenchen, he remembered it, and only held a bowl of rice and ate tofu.

Don't blame Lao Zhu, it is indeed stressful to eat with traditional literati like Liu Ji, and when they eat, they are called a gentleman, and the old man of the academy has a virtue, and it is estimated that they can write a textbook just for eating etiquette.

Ma Du was busy for half an afternoon, and he was so hungry that he didn't care about these rules, although he didn't look like a starving ghost reincarnated, but he definitely didn't look good.

Liu Ji didn't care and just looked at it with a smile, Lao Zhu rolled his eyes frequently, a bowl of rice just went down, Ma Du was about to serve another bowl, but he saw a little eunuch probing his brain at the door, Yuan Sheng leaned over and muttered a word to the little eunuch and came back.

Lao Zhu swallowed the rice in his mouth and asked, "What's the matter with Yuansheng?" ”

"Back to the emperor, someone from the Korean government said that the Korean prince is sick again, and he can't get up, I'm afraid that he won't be able to participate in the morning court tomorrow."

Li Shanchang has been on the desk for many years, and it is inevitable that he will get some occupational diseases such as a bulging disc in his waist, although he can't die, but it has a great impact on his life, not to mention work, this year, Lao Li's waist is getting more and more powerful, and at the beginning of the year, he even wrote a letter to ask for resignation and return to his hometown.

Daming is in ruins, Lao Zhu has no intention of abolishing the prime minister at this time, so naturally he did not allow it, and when he heard that Lao Li was sick again, he couldn't help but sigh and put his job on the case.

"Xuanzhong, you can save the dead, can't you help Han Gong's illness?"

Ma Du's mouth was bulging, and he said vaguely: "No, Li Gong's illness is a symptom rather than a cure, he has heavy official duties, and his resignation is the best for him." ”

"It's useless!" Lao Zhu scolded casually, then held his chin and was silent, and suddenly said after about a cup of tea: "Mr. Liu, if the position of prime minister is vacant, who do you think is appropriate?" ”

Ma Du and Liu Ji couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect Lao Zhu to suddenly throw out such a big problem, which caught people off guard.

Liu Ji wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and came to the middle position, and bowed: "The place of the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province is the most important yamen of my Ming Dynasty, and the person in charge of Zhongshu is like a big wood in this palace, and no one can take it over."

In his early years, Duke Li raised troops with His Majesty, was in charge of military and political affairs, and ruled on all matters up and down, and his merits and talents were comparable to Xiao He in the Han Dynasty. ”
