14, the thoughts of the emperor and empress

Since it was the emperor who wanted to receive him, then this speed must not be slow, Shen Cong quickened his pace and followed the eunuch straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Your Majesty, Shen Gongzi has already brought." The eunuch in front of the Heart Cultivation Palace bowed down to report and did not dare to step into the Heart Cultivation Palace, which was a place where only high-grade eunuchs could enter, and he was naturally not allowed to enter as a low-class eunuch.

Soon, another eunuch walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace: "Shen Gongzi, Your Majesty is already waiting, please come with our family." ”

Shen Cong nodded, and followed this eunuch into the Heart Cultivation Palace, as soon as Shen Cong's front foot stepped into the Heart Cultivation Palace, the door of the back foot hall had already been closed.

"Shen Gongzi, please take a seat." Zhu Yuanzhang sat at a table of banquets and beckoned to Shen Cong.

Shen Cong hurriedly saluted: "Long live the grass people when they see my emperor, the grass people don't dare to sit." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Yuanzhang still smiled slightly and said amiably.

"Yes." Shen Cong thanked him and sat down at the table.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass and said: "After I became the Son of Heaven, I only knew the difficulty of being in charge, and now that the Ming Dynasty has just been established, the treasury is empty, and I am really a hard-working emperor." ”

"Your Majesty's expulsion of foreigners to recover the Central Plains can be described as a great achievement, your merits are known to the world, and when Your Majesty is mentioned, everyone is grateful." Shen Cong hurriedly said with a smile.

"And what about the expulsion of the Mongols? If I can't bring happiness to the people, I'm afraid that I will end up too, and I will be expelled by another man leading the army. After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes stared straight at Shen Cong, carefully watching his reaction.

Shen Cong hurriedly got up: "Your Majesty's establishment of the Ming Dynasty is in accordance with the will of heaven, and the people are blessed by heaven, if anyone dares to disobey Your Majesty, it is against the sky, and they will definitely be punished by heaven." Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang is testing himself, at this time, he has to show his loyalty and say good, if he talks nonsense, then I am afraid that his head will have to move immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said with satisfaction: "Yes, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and all the people in the world are my subjects, but if some subjects do not listen to me, then how should this be handled?" ”

"Your Majesty governs the country with virtue, and the people of the world dare not obey, and as for some people who do not listen to Your Majesty's orders, Your Majesty should be more merciful to influence them, and treat them equally, you must know that at the beginning of people, their nature is good, and all people's nature is good, but later they become vicious because of certain things, of course, these are not things, and the grass people believe that the people will be the same under Your Majesty's benevolence and fraternity, and the beauty will be shared together." Who are some of the people in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth? Shen Cong naturally knew it, so the meaning of what he said was also very clear, if you Zhu Yuanzhang didn't persecute our Shen family, how could we be kind to you?

Zhu Yuanzhang's face stiffened after listening to Shen Cong's words, looking at Shen Cong's calm and calm appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, but felt that if he continued like this, he would be driven crazy by Shen Cong: "Shen Gongzi, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, you will not understand this Taoist ideal, right?" If a businessman tries to fight against the imperial power, you should know what the final result will be. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't pretend anymore, so he directly tore his face and said coldly.

"Your Majesty is reasonable, but the world is for the people, if there is no one in the world, then is it still the world? At that time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled and said that the princes and princes would have a kind of Xiangning, and His Majesty should understand this truth more than the grass people. In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, Shen Cong was still calm, as if nothing in the sky could shake him.

Didn't you Zhu Yuanzhang also become the emperor after winning the Yuan Dynasty, why did you start to show off your power now that you are the emperor? Although it is a bit inappropriate to say these words, I still have to remind Zhu Yuanzhang not to get carried away.

Of course, Shen Cong knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to do with himself at the moment, so he dared to say so.

"Do you know what the consequences of your offense will be?" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table violently and grabbed the collar of Shen Cong's clothes.

Shen Cong laughed and said flatly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the grass people are Your Majesty's subjects, and all happy life also comes from Your Majesty, and they are even more obedient to Your Majesty's orders, so how can you offend Your Majesty?" If the Shen family has the intention of rebellion, His Majesty can immediately lead the army to Suzhou to destroy the Shen family, but the Shen family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and has never had the intention of rebellion. ”

After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart felt a little better, and at this time, he felt that he was the ruler of the world, and the Shen family could not pose any threat to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang let go of Shen Cong and smiled slightly: "Hahaha, Shen Gongzi, I was a little excited just now, hey, I was born as a farmer, I suffered a lot when I was a child, and it is difficult to control my emotions when I do things, and I hope that Shen Gongzi will not go to my heart, and the future peace in this world will depend on the financial support of your Shen family." ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a little out of control just now, reason quickly pulled him back, he knew that he must not have a bad relationship with the Shen family at this moment, if he had a bad relationship with the Shen family and disposed of the Shen family, then how should the people of the world view him, after all, the country is not stable.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Shen family is also a member of the Ming Dynasty, so they will naturally solve problems for Your Majesty." Shen Cong hurriedly said. Let's just say this sentence of my own, as for whether I can help in the future, that's another matter.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang is an old fritter, he also has his own irresistible shortcomings: he is easily excited, so in Shen Cong's opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid, and those strategists under him are the real troubles, as long as those strategists come up with ideas, and then implement them with the help of Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, then it will be really difficult.

Therefore, for the safety of the Shen family, it is inevitable to befriend Zhu Yuanzhang's strategists, of course, if some people don't listen to themselves, then extraordinary means must be used when necessary, of course, Shen Cong still doesn't want to use this method.

"With Shen Gongzi's words, I will be relieved, it's not too early, presumably the third brother Wan will definitely be waiting for you, and I won't keep you more." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said amiably.

Shen Cong bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the grass people are retiring." After speaking, under the leadership of a eunuch, he left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After Shen Cong left, Queen Ma immediately walked out of it: "Your Majesty, why couldn't you control your emotions just now?" Now the political situation is unstable, and the Shen family controls the country's commerce. At this moment, we must not have a bad relationship with the Shen family. ”

"I know, but the tone of his voice must have been heard by you, so how can you not make me angry? I was born as a cow baby, and was persecuted by the landlord many times in my early years, so I hated the landlord and the rich. Shen Cong's appearance just now was exactly the same as the expression of the previous landlord, they were all dog-eyed and low-looking guys, so I couldn't control myself. Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the table and drank another glass of wine.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, Shen Wansan has been intimidated by you, and Shen Wansan is now the power holder of the Shen family, so we don't need to worry about any financial problems at present." Queen Ma smiled slightly and relieved her husband.

"But Shen Cong is a scourge after all, if he becomes the ruler of the Shen family, then what should he do?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Empress Ma pondered for a while and said: "Since Shen Cong has refused to marry, let's support Shen Wansan's other sons, and randomly assign a daughter of the Zhu family to be the princess to marry Shen Wansan's other sons, and then use his hand to control the Shen family, appease Concubine Shen internally, and let her help, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"The queen is really powerful, this method is fantastic." Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after hearing this.
