Zhu Yuanzhang walked to Qiu Ye's side and stood still within reach, his eyes locked on her neck. He has never been a hesitant man, and it can even be said that he is the most decisive man in the world, but at this moment, his conscience is actually struggling and dancing in his heart, using his hundreds of years of experience as a weapon to fight against his past self.

At this time, Qiu Ye, who lowered his head, suddenly whispered: "Brother Zhu, I only say this to you, you must not tell anyone else...... In fact...... I don't want Zheng Yanfu to die......"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.

Akiba continued, "I know, Zheng Yanfu is a good person. Last time, I was almost insulted by the rebels, but it was Zheng Yanfu and his advisers who rescued me, and they advised me to quickly find a place to hide and not to come out again. He came out to kill officials and rebel, and it was against Zhang Douyao, not at us poor people. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: "......"

Akiba sighed: "Maybe he has a reason to kill the official and rebel!" But he definitely won't be a bad person, otherwise I've been killed after being insulted and killed, where is the chance to go to Dongzi Cliff to identify him? Actually, I don't want to go either...... But my young lady forced me to go, alas! I hope that the real Zheng Yanfu is alive and well now. ”

"Brother Zhu, I don't want to tell the fact that Zheng Yanfu is still alive, so that everyone thinks that the charred corpse is Zheng Yanfu, do you think this is good? Am I going to be a bad woman who lies? Qiu Ye raised his head and looked directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

As soon as she looked up, she found that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were locked on her neck, straight and hooked, as if she was looking at something thrilling, she suddenly misunderstood, her face was flushed, and she covered her neck with both hands: "Brother Zhu...... What do you see? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked away and sighed!

After the life-threatening incident, Akiba also decided that Zheng Yanfu was a good person and was willing to protect him, this girl was indeed a good girl.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly brightened, and he was still struggling with whether to kill her inner demon just now, and he was driven out of the clouds in an instant. In fact, she didn't plan to tell the story that Zheng Yanfu was still alive, so why did I have to kill her? What a lot of worries...... It can be seen that many people were really wrongfully killed in the previous life, right? Maybe there are people who will not be an obstacle at all as I thought, but I still ruthlessly eradicated them and made many great mistakes.

"Akiba-girl, I think you're right." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "You are a good girl." ”

"Really?" Akiba Daxi: "I thought I was doing this very badly, I hated myself a little, Zhu Bugling, you actually praised me, I am so happy, you are not comforting me, deliberately saying things against your will." ”

"It's not against your will!" Zhu Yuanzhang strengthened his tone and said, "You are a good girl!" ”

"Then ......" Akiba blushed and lowered her head again: "Do you like me?" Do you want me to help you wash clothes, make tea, and clean your room......" A woman took the initiative to help a man clean his room, which was actually a euphemistic reminder, you should marry me. It's just that ancient women were more shy, and it was already very bold to be able to talk about this, and Akiba was not usually so generous, but she experienced a great change in life and death, and realized that beautiful things should be fought for while she was still alive, and it would be too late to die.

Which door is this? Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, he was still talking about business just now, and he went in this direction again, how can women always turn in the direction of love and love in their minds? He really wanted to pick up the autumn leaves and throw her out of the house as he had done the purple heart last time.

But the last half of her sentence played a small role, washing clothes, making tea, and cleaning the room, these things are already a very heavy burden for Zhu Yuanzhang, seriously affecting his mood, if someone can help him do it, it is not a bad thing.

He frowned, then stretched it out, and said casually: "It's okay, just ask Miss Akiba to help me wash my clothes and clean the room......"

Autumn leaves are overjoyed: "Brother Zhu, did you agree?" Then I'll tell Miss ......" She said half of her words, embarrassed to continue, and the second half of the sentence was actually: Please Miss promise me to you.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be stupid and said: "Promise? Promise what? Isn't it just washing clothes and cleaning the room? What else did I promise? ”

"Huh?" Qiu Ye suddenly froze: I've come to this point, why hasn't Zhu Bugling understood yet? Oh, I see, he's never dealt with women, so he doesn't understand my hints. Oh my God, this lump of wood, could you have said it more directly? But what I just said is already my limit......

Akiba felt depressed for a while, and thought bitterly: Okay, then let's start by washing clothes and cleaning the room...... After getting along for a long time, Zhu Bugs will understand.

She stomped the ground and ran out of the house.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that she was angry with her pretending to be crazy and stupid, and she wouldn't come to help him with housework, but she didn't expect that after a pillar of incense, Autumn Leaves ran back with a red face and took away all the stinky clothes from his table.

The next day, when Zhu Yuanzhang came home after a tiring day, he found that a cup of hot tea was brewed on his table, and four cleanly washed teacups were surrounded by the teapot......

Zhu Yuanzhang poured a cup of tea, swallowed it slowly, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: Qiu Ye is a good girl, and it seems that she is not doing the right thing to use such a girl to do housework for me.

－－－－－－－－－－

Summer passed quickly, autumn came, it was already golden autumn October, originally the four fields should be a golden piece of rice, the people welcomed the harvest, but this year's autumn harvest situation is very bad, due to the lack of water, the irrigation of the fields is not done well, most of the fields of the Ma family are seriously reduced. The fields far away from the Baishui River have no harvest.

The farmers looked at the little grain that had been harvested, and they were a little depressed, just such a little grain, after paying the autumn endowment, how much could be left? Will you be able to eat until next year's harvest? This is the ...... Alas, I really can't get by.

Some peasants approached Zhu Yuanzhang, who was fighting for justice and squandering money, and begged for his help, but Zhu Yuanzhang weighed his savings and began to feel the pressure. His silver was not much, mainly from the reward he received when he helped the Ma family deal with the Zhang family last time, but it was only two hundred taels, and he had helped many poor people intermittently in the past six months, and he was also a little stretched.

And he is not a person who is good at making money, especially in the previous life, he hated businessmen very much, thinking that businessmen in the world should be arrested and killed even if they did not commit crimes, and he knew nothing about business. Over the centuries, he had learned that merchants were also an essential part of society, and that his previous views were wrong, but he still hadn't learned much about making money.

When I was worrying about the silver problem, an earth-shattering news suddenly came......

At the end of October, Li Chujiu invited Zhu Yuanzhang to the hut and said hurriedly: "Brother Zhu, something is wrong, and the news has just come from the post station, the emperor ...... The emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the edict was issued to the world, and the year name was changed to Chongzhen from next year. ”

"Huh? The emperor died? Zhu Yuanzhang thought slightly, and suddenly understood, it turned out that the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao died.

On August 8 of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao was seriously ill, and on August 22, he died of illness in the Maode Hall at the age of 23. On October 7, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the year name to Chongzhen, that is, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

Generally speaking, before the death of the previous emperor and the new emperor ascended the throne, the palace would close the news to prevent the emperor's death from spreading all over the world.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's memory, the first thing Emperor Chongzhen did when he came to power was to clean up the eunuch party and knock Wei Zhongxian, a nine-thousand-year-old into the dust, and played with Wei Zhongxian, as well as the Five Tigers and Five Biao. The so-called Five Tigers and Five Biao are the core officials of the eunuch party, including Wenchen Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji (Shangshu of the Ministry of War), Wu Chunfu (Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry), Li Kuilong (Deputy Capital Yushi), Ni Wenhuan (Taichang Siqing) known as the "Five Tigers"; Wuchen Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe (Dongchang Criminal Officer), Yang Huan (Zhenfu Division, Criminal Officer), Cui Yingyuan (Jinyi Wei Command) are known as "Five Biao".

After the five tigers and five biaos were executed, the eunuch party was dealt a comprehensive blow, and the Donglin party was in full glory for a while. Immediately afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen issued another edict: "The Wei Zhongxian Rebellion Shrine built in the world will be demolished and changed." ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but move in his heart: Yes, he was worried about having no money, and suddenly thought of a trick......

That night, when Zhu Yuanzhang was teaching boxing, he counted the number of people in the courtyard, and there were about 50 people who came to learn boxing today, most of them were trustworthy poor people, and only a few of them were only trying to protect their families and defend the country, and they had no intention of rebelling.

While teaching boxing, he said loudly: "I found that some people are not very good at boxing!" You...... You...... You...... And you ......" He pointed out with his fingers the people who wanted to stay one by one, but in fact, all the people he chose were the poor who were bold and anti-minded.

A total of thirty-five people were singled out, and then he stopped and said, "The rest of the people go back, and the people I pointed out will stay and practice for a few more hours tonight." ”

Those who were not selected were elated, but those who were targeted were all depressed. They didn't know that the person who was targeted was actually the person Zhu Yuanzhang could trust.

After those who were not trusted had left, looking at the young people who were all over the yard with their heads downcast, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "What? Frustrated? ”

"Well, Brother Zhu, we've been practicing for so long, and I always feel that I've practiced well, but I didn't expect it to be in your eyes...... We are so stupid that we have wasted your patience in teaching...... It's so frustrating. A young man said depressedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be frustrated, everyone, I will keep you here today, not because you are not practicing well, but because you are practicing well, and I can trust you, so I will keep you." ”

"What?" The crowd rejoiced.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "I usually hear you say that you can't live anymore, and you dare to do things like killing officials and rebelling, today I want to ask you, how bold are you?" ”

"Hey, Brother Zhu, we're so bold! Walking to the cemetery in the middle of the night without frowning. The young people hurriedly shouted.

"As long as you open your mouth, I will dare to do anything to kill people and set fires."

"Which little daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law you like, I dare to help you grab it!"

"Phew, what do you say? Is Zhu Bugs the kind of person who robs other people's wives and daughters? You're looking to fight! ”

The young people burst into laughter.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, and he said seriously: "I'm not joking, tonight I want to test everyone's courage, who dares to go with me to secretly dismantle Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall!" ”

"What?" The crowd was shocked.
