Daming Palace, inside the Wuying Palace.

Wuying Hall is located in the west of the Xihe Gate of the Outer Dynasty, five rooms are wide, three rooms are deep, and the Wenhua Hall of the east of the Outer Dynasty is a text and a martial arts, corresponding to the distance, the Wuying Hall is the residence of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because Zhu Yuanzhang established the country with martial arts, so the Wuying Hall has also become the hall where Zhu Yuanzhang is accustomed to live, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is also in this hall in Pingyu.

There are four copper charcoal basins in the warm pavilion in the east of the hall, and the basins are burning with red tribute charcoal, and an old man is sitting on a chair with his eyes closed. He looks old, described as withered, an old face like an orange peel wrinkled by the wind is covered with age spots one after another, his hair is snow-white and sparse, loose comb, a bun on the top of his head, the years have left a deep and cruel trace on his face, years of conquest and governance, has hollowed out his essence and blood, at this moment he looks like a very ordinary, about to die of an ordinary old man.

But no one dared to underestimate this seemingly ordinary old man.

Because this Ming Dynasty's splendid rivers and mountains were laid down by him, and it is still firmly held in his hands until now!

The enemies of the past have already fallen at his feet one by one, the former Yuan Emperor, the former Yuan court, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng......

The comrades-in-arms of the former also died under his butcher's knife one by one, Li Shanchang, Liu Ji, Fu Youde, Hu Weiyong, Song Lian......

The big waves sweep the sand, and the heroes are exhausted. In today's world, who dares to be called a hero except for him?

He is a heroic and heroic emperor, he drove away the former Yuan, recovered the Han people, and created a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty!

He is a murderous demon king, he is suspicious and mean, kills heroes, and punishes cruelly, just to ensure the long-term peace of his Zhu family!

He fought a lifetime of battles, and he also killed a lifetime of people, and the killing and blood piled up his glorious and glorious life.

The merits and demerits are only told by posterity, and he doesn't care what posterity says.

He is none other than Zhu Yuanzhang!

In the warm pavilion, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing bright yellow casual clothes, with a five-clawed golden dragon with teeth and claws embroidered on the front of the suit, his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was tired and dozing off.

In front of his feet, there was a brocade lieutenant in a flying fish suit, the lieutenant was very young, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the lieutenant's demeanor was as respectful as a devout believer worshipping the gods.

He was reporting to Zhu Yuanzhang on the behavior of the emperor's grandson.

"On the eighteenth day of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, His Royal Highness Taisun went out of Beijing in micro-clothes, escorted more than ten people with brocade clothes, and went west, entered Jiangpu County under the rule of Yingtianfu, and traveled to the road, His Royal Highness Taisun was very confused, he said why the emperor's grandfather said that he should be more aware of the people's suffering, but the East Palace attendant said that in the world's knowledge, the son of a daughter could not sit down, and His Royal Highness Taisun was very puzzled why the two remarks contradictored. …… After entering the city, His Royal Highness Taisun broke up with our guards and entered a restaurant called Zuixianlou in Jiangpu County alone. When I waited for the guards to arrive, I found that His Royal Highness Taisun was the shopkeeper of the restaurant surnamed Xiao...... Offended, we drew our swords and wanted to kill him, but I was forcibly stopped by His Royal Highness Taisun, and then His Royal Highness Taisun led me back to Beijing. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were fierce, it was hard to imagine that an old man who was old and old had such a gloomy gaze as dark as an eagle falcon and as sharp as a blade.

The captain's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly crawled deeply at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet, not daring to speak out for a long time. After waiting for a long time, seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, the captain began to report again.

"On the morning of the twenty-first day of the twenty-ninth year of the lunar month of Hongwu, His Royal Highness Taisun ordered the Jinyi army to prepare a full guard of honor to go out of Beijing again, hundreds of people walked for more than an hour, arrived at Jiangpu County, when Huang Ruide, the governor of Jiangpu County, led the county Ya to the east gate of Jiangpu to pick up the car, His Royal Highness Taisun did not meet with the officials of the Yamen, went straight into the city, and then came to the drunken immortal building, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant named Xiao Fan, after talking a few words, he drove back to Beijing."

After the captain's report was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, his tone was old and flat, and he said slowly: "Taisun was offended by civilians, but you were not there to escort him, what is the use of me asking you to wait for the brocade clothes pro-army?" ”

The captain was shocked when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Mark ten thousand deaths, and the emperor forgives the sin!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't raise his eyelids, and his tone was as flat as if talking about the weather: "Then it is said that more than ten Jinyi pro-army who escorted Taisun were all beheaded in the vegetable market, and they were selected to be able to be in the Jinyi pro-army, and they often followed Taisun to drive on the side, as for Yuan Zhongyou, I thought you had been driving for many years, and you were loyal, and I scolded you with 30 military sticks and fined you for one year, and still kept on the side of Taisun, if Taisun made another mistake, he would raze the whole family." ”

Yuan Zhong touched the ground with his head, his face was pale, and cold sweat dripped down the scarlet carpet in the warm pavilion.

"Obey the holy decree and thank the emperor for his kindness."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "In the future, the grandson will let you wait, and you must send someone to stay secretly, and you can't let him ...... everything."

"The emperor is sage, mark and obey!"

Zhu Yuanzhang still closed his eyes and said lightly: "That person named Xiao Fan, offended the grandson, the crime cannot be forgiven, spread my will, punish Xiao Fan's nine clans, Jiangpu County Ya from the county magistrate to the miscellaneous servants, all of them will be taken into the Beijing Division, and the criminal department will strictly deal with ......"

"Emperor Mingjian, when His Royal Highness Taisun entered Jiangpu, he personally said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant named Xiao Fan in person that he forgave him for offending and disrespecting......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes opened again, and he stared at Yuan Zhong with a complicated gaze: "The grandson personally pardoned him?" ”

"I don't dare to deceive the king, His Royal Highness Taisun has indeed pardoned him."

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, looking quite disappointed: "Yun Wei's surname is the same as his dead father, Prince Yiwen, too soft and weak, full of morality and righteousness, such a surname is okay to be an official, it is not appropriate to be the emperor, alas!" ”

Raising his eyes and lightly sweeping the captain, Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice and said, "Yuan Zhong, go to Xuan Taisun to see my ......."

"Yes."

Not long after, Zhu Yunwen was edicted to enter the Wuying Palace, he smiled slightly, handsome, his face was like a crown of jade, and he was looking forward to showing a romantic state.

Zhu Yuanzhang's originally cold and rigid old face relaxed after seeing Zhu Yunwen, and even a smile flashed in his eyes, and his expression was extremely doting.

"Grandson Yunwen visits the emperor's grandfather." As soon as Zhu Yunwen entered the warm pavilion, he bowed down very obediently.

"Hehe, Yun Wei doesn't have to be polite, come, quickly calm down and sit next to my grandfather." Zhu Yuanzhang put on a rare smile, stretched out his withered hand, and beckoned to Zhu Yunwen affectionately.

At this moment, he is no longer the supreme of the Ninety-Five with the supreme power, nor is he the Hongwu Emperor who terrifies and trembles the subjects of the world, in front of Zhu Yunwen, he is just an ordinary old man, an ordinary grandfather who loves his grandson, and there is no difference between him and the grandfather of ordinary people.

Zhu Yunwen got up, with a sweet smile on his face, took two steps forward, sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang, and gently beat Zhu Yuanzhang's legs obediently.

"Yun Wei, what are you doing these days? Have you read all the minister's notes that I have given you? ”

"Imperial grandfather, those several copies of the book have been read by the grandchildren, Ryukyu, Annam, Korea, Usmao envoys to pay tribute, this can be received by the Honglu Temple, the two imperial uncles of the King of Chu and the King of Xiang were edicted to enter Beijing to come to the court, the imperial grandfather may be able to set up a banquet in the palace, and give it generously, in order to show the virtue of the strict father and the holy monarch, as for the instability of the northwest, the frequent robbers, and the gradual emergence of chaos, you can choose a powerful and benevolent official in the court, and enter the northwest to pacify the ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head with a smile and said: "The first two things are good, but the last one is a little inappropriate, the northwest is unstable, not a cold, it is not the right way to pacify, the chaos must be strictly controlled, not to send a minister to appease to be able to compete, at this time, when the military generals are sent to inspect the northwest, all thieves must be killed, so that the people of the northwest are safe, and the people of the northwest are happy, I have issued an order, and ordered Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen to be the general of the expedition to the west, and the Wuding Hou Guo Ying is the deputy, and the elite foot rider is selected, and after the spring of next year, he will go out to the northwest in the first month, Patrol the border guards. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, looked at Zhu Yunwen, and sighed: "Yunwen, you have to remember that the things in this world cannot be solved by relying entirely on benevolence, righteousness and morality. ”

Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute a few words, but in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's solemn and majestic gaze, Zhu Yunwen finally lowered his head and said, "Yes, the emperor's grandfather, grandson obeys the teachings." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Have you been reading with the Huang Shi of Chunfang recently?" ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled sweetly: "Yes, Mr. Huang also taught his grandson the Analects today." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Huang Zicheng is a good person, what did he teach you?" ”

"Sun Er studied the Analects of Zi Lu, and Zi said: 'If there is a king, he will be benevolent in the world.'" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, quickly stretched out, and said indifferently: "How can you solve it?" ”

"The meaning of the sage Confucius is that if there is a monarch who practices the royal way, it must take thirty years for the benevolence to prevail in the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Yun Wei, if you want to practice benevolence, this is good, grandfather asked you, in addition to benevolence, what other way does the monarch need to supplement?" ”

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and said in astonishment: "Grandfather Huang, of course, you can only do the way of benevolence and righteousness to govern the world, and the sage said that it has been passed down for thousands of years, is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly darkened, and his expression showed a little disappointment.

Waving his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about this, I ask you, I said that you went out of Beijing with a guard of honor, and I heard that it was just to scare a restaurant shopkeeper, what is the reason?" ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled happily when he heard this: "Imperial grandfather, grandson knows a very interesting person in Jiangpu, when he first met him, he didn't believe that grandson was the grandson today, and grandson was beaten by him several times, and later after grandson returned to Beijing, he was not convinced, so he opened a full guard of honor to go out of Beijing, just to show him, grandson is not impersonating." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said in a deep voice: "You are just messing around!" Taisun Honor Guard, it is only allowed to be used at the time of the court meeting, ceremony, and major state affairs, but you use it to scare a restaurant shopkeeper, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military know, what will they think of you? It's ridiculous! ”

Zhu Yunwen was so frightened that he stepped back, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, but after all, he was still reluctant to say anything serious, sighed, and continued: "Also, you said that the shopkeeper of the restaurant beat you?" This person is so bold that he dares to insult the emperor and grandson, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this person should be punished by the nine clans! ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly raised his head when he heard this, and said urgently: "Grandfather Huang, grandson doesn't blame him, the so-called ignorant person is not guilty, and grandson has also forgiven his sins, ask for mercy from grandfather ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Since you have pardoned him, this matter will be stopped......

Zhu Yunwen's eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't understand why the emperor's grandfather, who had always been arbitrary and had never listened to persuasion, let Xiao Fan go so easily this time, and really gave up with a word.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson's confused face, and finally smiled: "Aren't you very strange, why did I let him go so easily?" ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "When you become the emperor, you may be able to understand my intentions." Yun Wei, there is no right or wrong in the things of this world, the emperor kills people, not to see whether the person is guilty or not, but whether the person should die. When you feel that someone is a threat to you, then he is not guilty and deserves to die, and when you feel that someone is of great use to you, then he is guilty of a heinous crime and cannot kill ......"

Zhu Yunwen's face was full of confusion, obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's words made him very incomprehensible.

“…… In my life, murder is not counted, how many of them can be truly guilty? Is Lee Sun-chang really guilty? Is Fu Youde really guilty? Is Song Lian really guilty? Actually, they were not guilty, but they deserved to die, so they died. ”

Zhu Yunwen's expression became more and more confused.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Grandson, you still don't understand, alas...... Why did I kill so many innocent people? I even did not hesitate to bear the notoriety of a faint monarch and tyrant, and slaughtered all the famous generals who had contributed to the founding of the country? Grandson, I have done all this for you and for the descendants of our Zhu family! I am worried that those heroes and famous generals are arrogant, and they will not accept the descendants of my Zhu family as emperors, and even have thoughts that they should not have, I can only kill them all while I am alive, and I will leave you an iron bucket to remove thorns! ”

"But...... Grandfather Huang, what does this have to do with not killing Xiao Fan? Zhu Yunwen said with an ignorant expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Because the words of pardoning Xiao Fan were said by you, you are the future Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you have no jokes, if you say you don't kill, then you won't kill." This is the prestige that the emperor must have, the monarch is full of words, I have done so many things that should not be done, and killed so many people who should not be killed, in order to establish the prestige of the new monarch for you, so that the subjects of the world obey your orders, what you say, how can I deny it? Isn't it in vain that I have done so much? It takes five years and ten years to build prestige, but the prestige collapses, but it only takes one sentence, do you understand? ”

Zhu Yunwen still had a little confusion on his face: "The words of the emperor's grandfather, the grandson seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to understand......"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him lovingly, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, one day you will understand, I will slowly teach you in the future, before you ascend the throne as the emperor, I will pass on all the emperor's skills to you." If you want to rule the world, you must learn this technique, otherwise you won't be able to keep the country. ”
