When Li Shanchang heard this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart.

"Oh my God, King Xiaoming?"

Liu Bowen nodded.

Seeing this, Li Shanchang frowned and said, "I forgot about him." ”

Liu Bowen said: "The king has not forgotten. ”

"Brother Shan, for more than ten years, Dashuai has been serving King Xiao Ming as the co-lord of the world, if according to this statement, shouldn't King Xiao Ming be made the emperor?"

Li Shanchang also said: "Yes, once the founding of the country is called the emperor, how will King Xiao Ming deal with it?" ”

Just as the two of them were deliberating.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's study.

The big tiger was called.

"Ascending, the last general will be sent to see you."

Looking at the big tiger in front of him, who was loyal to him, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Big tiger, how have we treated you all these years?" ”

Dahu was stunned when he heard this, and said: "Okay, the grace of the superior to treat us is heaven and earth." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "After the founding of the country, what title do you want to give?" ”

Dahu smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't thought about it." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, think about it now." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Dahu said embarrassedly: "We have followed the upper position for many years, and there are dozens of bloody battles, if it works, I hope to be a general." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, for you, you don't have to wait until the founding of the country, let's make you the general of Huwei and the marquis of Zhongyi now!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words really didn't expect Dahu.

The surprise came too suddenly.

There was a feeling of unreality.

But looking at the solemn look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and it didn't seem like he was lying, Dahu immediately knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted excitedly: "Thank you!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, helped the big tiger up with one hand, and said: "After a while, I will let Zhongshu Province draw up the decree immediately, but before that, if you want to do an errand for me, it must be done!" ”

Dahu didn't say a word, and directly arched his hand: "Although the superior commands, the last general will be broken to pieces, and he will finish the errand!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hesitate, and said directly: "You bring some guards, rush to Chuzhou in the starry night, take King Xiaoming to Jinling City, settle it well, and as for the future, someone will explain to you." ”

Dahu was stunned for a moment, and he was still puzzled: "That's it?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's it." ”

The big tiger immediately took the order and said: "Obey!" ”

Turning around and walking out of the house.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was behind him, looked at the back of the big tiger leaving with a solemn face.

Palace.

Inside the newly built Royal Palace.

Hu Weiyong is aiming to supervise the supervision of the affairs here.

Beside him, there were several craftsmen, Hu Weiyong held the drawings in his hand, pointed to the side and said: "The color of this person's palace wall is too light, paint it again." ”

The craftsman on the side was about to say something, but Hu Weiyong changed his tone and said: "No, you have to brush it three times in a row!" ”

"Yes!"

But before the craftsman could just turn around and leave, Hu Weiyong, who had his back to him, shouted again: "Come back!" ”

"After three days, the work must be delivered."

Just as the craftsman was hesitating to ask for more construction time, Hu Weiyong immediately scolded: "Did you hear that? ”

The craftsman nodded hurriedly, "I heard it." ”

"Go."

"Yes."

And at this moment, behind Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know when he came here.

When the craftsman turned around, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and was about to say something, but was immediately sent away by Zhu Yuanzhang with a wave of his hand.

Just as Hu Weiyong and another craftsman were looking at the drawings, frowning and about to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang poked his head out behind Hu Weiyong, as if he wanted to see what Hu Weiyong was looking at.

Hu Weiyong, who suddenly felt that someone was close to him next to him, frowned and turned his head to look, but when he glanced at it, he just turned his head and was shocked.

Hurriedly turned around and bowed his hand respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Superior." ”

Even his voice became well-behaved.

It's not at all the stern look just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, get up." ”

Hu Weiyong introduced Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile: "My subordinates are rushing to build the Fengtian Temple day and night, and they will never delay the day of the founding ceremony." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled on his face and said without moving: "We don't know the date of this founding ceremony, you know?" ”

Hu Weiyong hurriedly smiled and said: "The subordinates have lost their words, this is the subordinates' self-estimation, the founding of the new dynasty is in the first few days of the first month of the new year, the day is auspicious, and the subordinates are in accordance with this day to build the Fengtian Temple." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, but still said: "Even if the few days you said are only three months away, is it too late?" ”

Hu Weiyong said: "The subordinates are willing to guarantee with their heads, and they are foolproof!" ”

Hear the words.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Okay, wow." ”

"Let's go over there."

While walking, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Hu Weiyong beside him: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, there was a shortage of people and goods, and everything must be simple to build a palace. But when we passed by the Fengtian Temple, we saw a nine-foot-long jade, what was going on? ”

Hu Weiyong heard Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your superiority, that piece of jade is extremely rare, and my subordinates have ordered skilled craftsmen to build a piece of nine dragon walls and prepare them to be inlaid on the steps of Fengtian Palace." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said with some dissatisfaction: "We have made a strict order." ”

Hu Weiyong hurriedly said: "Your superiority, when the subordinates received the will, the jade material had been mined and shipped, if it was abandoned and not used, it would cause greater waste. ”

"On the day of the ceremony, hundreds of civil and military officials and Chinese and foreign envoys will follow the gate of heaven to enter the court, when they pass by both sides of the Nine Dragon Wall, they will be able to feel the profundity of the ancient Chinese country, the new dynasty of the beginning of the heavenly might."

Listening to Hu Weiyong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was not interested at all, but said lightly: "Resisting the decree is going to lose your head." ”

Hu Weiyong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "In order to revitalize the new Chaotianwei, the subordinates just lost their heads, it's worth it!" ”

In the face of Hu Weiyong's flattery, although Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of killing him, he was not happy at all, but just said casually: "That's right." ”

With that, he walked forward.

Hu Weiyong followed closely.

When passing by the material bricks, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking: "How much is this brick?" ”

Hu Weiyong said: "The average price, thirty-six copper coins." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was a little distressed and said: "Thirty-six copper coins? This square brick is enough for an ordinary person to eat for more than half a month. ”

Just as he sighed, he saw some handwriting on the brick, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is there a person's name and year on this brick?" ”

Hu Weiyong said: "The superior, at the beginning of the construction, this batch of bricks or defects, or shoddy, subordinates think that the casting project is a hundred years of planning, must not be sloppy, so the subordinates set a rule, instructing the kiln factories around the city to cast a brick, the brick must be inlaid with the bricklayer's name, place of origin, year and month and the official position of the brick inspector. ”

In this way, if there is a problem with any city brick, it can be investigated layer by layer, and no one can get rid of responsibility. Since the establishment of this rule, the city bricks handed in from all over the country have become of the highest quality. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately said in surprise: "Good rules!" ”

"Wei Yong, as an official, it is easy to do a good deed, but it is not easy to establish good rules."

Hu Weiyong said: "That's what my subordinates told them, if the city wall cracks, we should punish it, and if we should kill it, we will kill it, and no one can escape." If the walls of the city are there for thousands of years, then will not their names also shine on the sun and the moon on the city, and endure forever? ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more happy: "Good rules!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and said: "Erhu, send an order to Zhongshu Province, and the rules of building bricks and names established by Hu Weiyong must be continued, whether it is in all provinces, prefectures, governments, or counties. Even after our death, the kings of future generations must continue this law. ”

Erhu said: "Obey." ”

And Hu Weiyong also said gratefully: "Thank you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's go, let's go to the Imperial Garden to have a look." ”

Walking on the arched bridge of the Imperial Garden, Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "It's really not small." ”

"By the way, Hu Weiyong, you leave a place for Mrs. to use as a vegetable garden."

Hu Weiyong was stunned: "What did the superior say?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, and said again: "Let's say that we will set up a place for Mrs. and make a vegetable garden." Or where will she grow vegetables in the future? ”

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong said: "Superior position, all dynasties, how can there be rules for opening a vegetable garden in the imperial garden, which is detrimental to the dignity of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Besides, forgive your subordinates for their courage, after the ceremony, Mrs. is the mother of the main palace, the mother of the world, what kind of vegetables to grow."

"My subordinates dare not obey their fate."

This Hu Weiyong thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was joking with him when he said this, and said with a smile on his face.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Hu Weiyong, you are indeed a loyal and outspoken person." Even disobeyed with his life, we like your temperament. ”

Just when Hu Weiyong was happy, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "But we also have to remind you, can you resist the decree, you can't resist again." ”

"Listen, after the garden is completed, if there is no vegetable garden, we will have to bury you alive and make fertilizer."

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong's face changed greatly.

Only then did I realize that I was on the wrong side.

Hurriedly knelt down and arched his hand: "The superior forgives the sin, and the subordinates understand." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's good to understand, get up." ”

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang walked forward, Hu Weiyong hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhu Yuanzhang's arm, for fear that he would fall off the steps.

And Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Wei Yong, do you remember King Xiao Ming?" ”

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Remember." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Well, the big tiger is about to go to Chuzhou to pick up King Ming and come back to participate in the founding ceremony, we have something unspeakable." ”

Hu Weiyong thought about it in his heart, and immediately said: "My subordinates understand. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "There are some things that we can't say directly to Dahu, we always want to find a reliable person." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang shut up.

Seeing this, Hu Weiyong immediately understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, and also knew that this was an opportunity for himself, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, your subordinates think they are a proper person. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he took the opportunity to say: "Okay, then it's up to you to send the big tiger." ”

He whispered slightly: "Remember, if it's hard to say, I'll talk about it after I get out of the city." ”

With that, he walked forward.

And Hu Weiyong secretly stood in place, understanding the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

It was near evening.

Qi Heng's Great General's Mansion.

Chen Du slowly came to Qi Heng's study with a secret guard.

Looking at the person who came, Chen Du immediately handed over the information in the hands of the secret guard.

Qi Heng opened the envelope and looked at it.

After a moment of contemplation, he waved his hand at the dark guard in front of him.

Chen Du and the dark guard left one after another.

Qi Heng, on the other hand, slowly put the information in his hand on the oil lamp and burned it.

With a solemn face, he sighed: "This is the beginning." ”

Originally, he had been excluded from the power center, but today he was suddenly found by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although I don't quite understand why Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to find him.

But he knew very well that since he had come this far, he should not go back.

Zhu Yuanzhang's jealousy is already obvious.

didn't care about the affection to save him desperately in the Horn Ridge, and didn't communicate with him no matter what military and political affairs were discussed.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has already done this, his attitude is already very clear.

Qi Heng will no longer have any luck.

Therefore, today when Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to show favor and find him over.

Qi Heng didn't care whether the other party was suddenly kind or not, he still deliberately said something that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like to listen to, or that any king didn't like to listen to.

At this time, he didn't want to fit in anymore.

Compared with being in Zhu Yuanzhang's power center, it is better to be out of the world when he is worried all day long.

Feel free to live your own little life.

At the very least, relying on his previous exploits and the identity of his brother-in-law, as long as he is interested, he can at least survive until Zhu Biao's death.

As for the aftermath, it is unknown.

I can't guess this thing.

Anyway, whether as a brother or brother-in-law, Qi Heng has done everything he can do.

The foundation of the Ming Dynasty has also been laid.

The die is cast.

Next is the prosperous age, whether it is as the heart knot of Chinese people, or as the feelings of people around you.

He deserves no one.

If you really want to say sorry for someone, it's only those who have been following you.

On the road to establishing the Ming Dynasty, those subordinates who followed him all the way did not get the rewards they deserved.

However, Qi Heng has already made arrangements for this.

Whether it is Han Qin, Zheng Guangzu, Chen Guang, Shi Caiying or others, Qi Heng knows it all.

A way out will definitely be arranged for them.

Wang fu.

After arranging the affairs of King Xiaoming, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously in a good mood.

When I got back to my second floor, I hummed a tune all the way.

And Ma Xiuying, who was reading at night on the second floor, listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's hum, looked at him with a smile and said, "Proud, right?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hide himself, and said happily: "Proud, of course proud, we don't care who is proud." ”

But Ma Xiuying said in passing: "Have you forgotten? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Forget, forget." ”

But he immediately came back to his senses and said, "That's impossible." ”

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "It's almost the same, if you want to be the emperor, you can't get carried away." I'm tired. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Oh, can you not be tired?" From the moment I opened my eyes during the day, we haven't stopped until now. It's more tiring than when I beat Chen Youliang. ”

"As for it?"

As she spoke, Ma Xiuying poured a cup of tea and sent it over.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also immediately put the itch in his hand behind his back, took the tea, and said: "You think, the opening of the dynasty is imminent, no matter how big or small, what kind of civil and military officials in the outer court and inner court, no matter what we have to worry about." ”

"I finally got home, I was squatted by that Lu Chang, and I had to try it on."

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying immediately said: "You don't act, what kind of outfit are you trying." ”
