Although the relationship between the two is different from others, he also thinks that Qi Heng will not rebel.

However, seeing so many examples in the history books, he really didn't dare to guarantee that Qi Heng would not be like those people.

Li Shimin treats his father and brother like this, not to mention the relationship between himself and Qi Heng.

Therefore, he can indulge Ma Xiuying a little, but Qi Heng can't do this.

Thinking of this, although Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little guilty in his heart, he had no other choice.

Turning to look at the imperial calendar on the table, as well as the blank space on the cover, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around slowly, lifted the brush and wrote three words in the blank space.

"The Great Unification Calendar!"

Looking at the name of the written imperial calendar, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "We also have our own imperial calendar." ”

Wangfu Zhongshu outside the province.

Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong walked together.

While walking, Li Shanchang said: "I just received an excerpt the day before yesterday, which is the recent situation of King Xiao Ming reported by the Chuzhou Supervision Army. ”

"Nei Zhong said that since the Northern Expedition to the throne, King Xiao Ming has been restless every day, mixed joys and sorrows, happy people, the upper position is about to take the world, and the Yuan court is about to perish. Those who are worried, once the emperor is proclaimed, King Xiao Ming will be uncertain about his life and death. ”

Hu Weiyong, who was listening to Li Shanchang's words, didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he didn't even see Li Shanchang's gaze observing him.

It wasn't until Li Shanchang stopped and Hu Weiyong walked in front of the two of them that he came back to his senses, hurriedly raised his hand at Li Shanchang, and said, "Li Gong." ”

Seeing this, Li Shanchang slowly walked in front.

At the same time, he continued: "As soon as the excerpt was handed over, the big tiger went to Chuzhou to pick it up, and I also heard that someone was secretly sending it outside the city. ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's words, Hu Weiyong understood that Li Shanchang was afraid that this matter was already clear, so he no longer concealed it, and said directly: "The subordinates are about to report to Li Gongyu, and the person who sent them outside the city is his subordinates. ”

"The upper position has an unspeakable secret to King Xiao Ming, and it is not easy to speak directly about the big tiger, so he ordered his subordinates to give a hint to the big tiger by sending him off."

Hearing this, Li Shanchang slowly stopped, turned around and looked at Hu Weiyong and said, "Then what you hinted at is right or not?" ”

Hu Weiyong immediately said: "The subordinates are trying to ask Li Gong to judge. ”

Seeing Li Shanchang nodding, Hu Weiyong continued: "First, if you go up the mountain and the road is dangerous, King Xiao Ming will inevitably have an accident. ”

"Second, in the event of an accident, Dahu, as an escort general, should be punished and judged himself."

The first one, Li Shanchang had already guessed it, and he was not surprised, but when the second one was said, even Li Shanchang had to be surprised by Hu Weiyong's ruthlessness.

He actually wants the big tiger to be guilty and judge himself!

Just when Li Shanchang was shocked, a person suddenly ran behind him.

I saw that the two tigers slowly came to the front of the two, and said to the two of them: "The king has an edict, please go to the study to discuss matters quickly." ”

Looking at the two tigers, Li Shanchang gradually hid the surprise in his heart in the depths.

nodded, and then said to Hu Weiyong beside him: "Weiyong, let's go together." ”

But at this time, Erhu said: "The king only said Mr. Li, not Mr. Hu in advance." ”

Seeing this, although Hu Weiyong on the side was inevitably disappointed, he had no choice but to say to Li Shanchang beside him: "Then, my subordinates have no choice but to leave." ”

Li Shanchang nodded.

In the back garden outside the study of the palace.

At a stone table, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen sat opposite each other.

Lu Chang stood aside, while Zhu Yuanzhang was pouring tea for everyone.

"According to the ancient rites, the imperial court should issue the imperial calendar of the year on the first day of the first month of each year, and use it as a legal code to unify the assembly time of all parts of the country, but the Yuan court has not issued an almanac for more than ten years, so the people have privately printed and distributed the almanac and circulated it in secret."

"Reasoning, writing almanacs privately, should be beheaded."

"But the Yuan Court is corrupt and unreasonable, and the etiquette is broken, so no one cares."

Speaking of this, Lu Chang said to Zhu Yuanzhang beside him: "Your lord, if the world is chaotic, the etiquette will be chaotic, and if the etiquette is chaotic, the world will be chaotic." Therefore, formulating a calendar and unifying the hours is a top priority for the new dynasty. ”

Because of the momentary emotion, Lu Chang didn't catch his breath and coughed on the spot.

Liu Bowen on the side hurriedly handed him a cup of tea.

"Lu Gong, don't worry, speak slowly."

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Chang continued: "Besides, the land of China is thousands of miles, and it takes two or three months for an imperial calendar to be sent from the capital to the frontier. Many border people, until the start of broadcasting, did not have this year's imperial calendar, the minister suggested that the new dynasty should set new rules and issue the imperial calendar in advance, so that the people of the whole country can get the first imperial calendar of the new dynasty before the agricultural time. ”

Speaking of which, Lu Chang finally finished speaking, he is not young, and his energy is really limited.

With Liu Bowen's support, he sat down.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Lu Chang's words, and then looked at Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen on the side, and motioned for them to say a few words.

Seeing this, Liu Bowen on the side said: "King, what Mr. Lu said, the minister agrees with every sentence, and the minister has nothing to say. ”

At this time, Li Shanchang on the side stood up and said: "I thought that since it is called the imperial calendar, it means that there is an emperor first, and then there is a calendar." The new imperial calendar should be promulgated after His Majesty ascends the throne and opens the Yuan. ”

"Moreover, on the day of Kaiyuan, the first edict of the new dynasty should also be the emperor's edict on the throne."

After that, various codes and decrees were promulgated. Including this Unified Calendar. If the imperial calendar is promulgated before the founding of the country, I am afraid that the name will not be right. ”

Before discussing this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang had a plan in his heart, but now when he heard Li Shanchang say this, he was naturally unhappy, he poured the tea in the tea bowl in his hand and said: "But we think it's just the opposite." ”

Speaking of this, feeling the eyes of everyone looking at him, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly explained: "You think, when the people of the world see this imperial calendar, they will definitely be surprised. ”

"They will think, this is not the founding of the country yet, the imperial calendar came down first, the world must be Zhu Yuanzhang's, look at the people, they haven't become the emperor yet, they will take care of the peasant time first."

Zhu Yuanzhang repeated what Ma Xiuying said to himself in front of everyone.

This made Liu Bowen and Lu Chang on the side immediately smile.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's words are vulgar compared to what they said, the truth is real.

Liu Bowen on the side hurriedly said: "King Mingjian, this is exactly what the grass people in the world think. ”

Lu Chang also nodded in agreement.

And Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the two of them supported him, smiled, and said: "To build a country, you must first correct the discipline, and we will start with the calendar." ”

"If even the sun, moon and four seasons can't be determined, what is the unification of the world?"

"Moreover, years of war and chaos have been in ruins, and governing the country is based on the safety of the people. If you want to calm the people, you have to settle their hearts first, this unification calendar has the effect of calming people's hearts, let's hurry up sooner rather than later, immediately open the print, and promulgate the world. ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, everyone understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had already settled the matter.

Just when Li Shanchang on the side was still hesitating.

Liu Bowen said: "King, in this way, this unification calendar has become the first edict of the new dynasty, and the king's enthronement edict has become the second edict. ”

Listening to Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about such a thing: "It's really unseen?" Then let's let the world see it! ”

Outside the palace of King Ming in Chuzhou.

Dahu led several guards and walked towards the Ming Palace.

When he was at the door, the general in charge of his duties immediately bowed to the big tiger who came and said, "General Tiger!" ”

Seeing this, the big tiger also returned the salute.

Then he took out Zhu Yuanzhang's edict from his chest and handed it to the general, and asked at the same time: "How has His Majesty King Ming been these days?" ”

After coming to Chuzhou City, Dahu heard about King Xiao Ming.

Now he asked worriedly.

Hearing Dahu's inquiry, the Chuzhou Supervisor immediately said: "I don't sleep day and night, I don't think about tea and dinner, and even people have lost a lot of weight." ”

However, Dahu did not delay time because of this, and said directly: "Prepare, I will take Your Majesty to Jinling early tomorrow morning." ”

The Chuzhou Supervisor immediately replied: "Obey!" ”

"General, please."

In the main hall of King Xiao Ming.

Dahu knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "The former Yuan will die, the new dynasty will be established, and King Wu will send the last general to make a special trip to welcome His Majesty and go to Jinling." ”

"Your Majesty's permission."

"And start driving tomorrow."

Listening to Dahu's words, King Xiao Ming on the dragon chair said with a sad face: "General, this king doesn't want to go to Jinling, it's good for this king to live here." ”

But Dahu said: "Please rest assured that Your Majesty will be safe." Besides, Ying Tianfu has already built a palace for His Majesty. ”

The timid and cowardly King Xiao Ming couldn't help but ask like a child, "Why don't I succeed?" ”

Listening to King Xiao Ming's words, Dahu didn't speak, but put on a posture of wanting to do it at any time.

At this time, the auxiliary ministers on the side of King Xiao Ming looked at King Xiao Ming.

Apparently, they had discussed the matter in private.

Seeing this, King Xiao Ming had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll go." Anyway, the whole world is Zhu Yuanzhang's, and where he lives is different, they all live in the palm of the Buddha. ”

Dahu didn't refute, only said: "Your Majesty Mingjian." ”

Early the next morning.

The big tiger took King Xiao Ming to the big boat by the river.

Looking at the big ship in front of him, King Xiao Ming said worriedly to the big tiger next to him as he walked: "This boat, it's still stable, right?" ”

Dahu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, please." ”

As the big ship began to sail, it was about noon.

Dahu stood on the deck and looked at one of the guards beside him, and the guards immediately arched their hands and said, "Yes." ”

Soon.

Plates of wine and food were brought up by the soldiers.

At this time, the big tiger also slowly walked into the cabin.

looked at King Xiao Ming, who was sitting on the main seat, without the slightest restraint, and said, "Let's use some wine and food." ”

But King Xiao Ming looked at the wine and food in front of him, but he didn't eat a bite, and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

Obviously, it was because I was afraid that the wine and food were poisonous.

But the big tiger said, "The last general is hungry." ”

King Xiao Ming said: "Then the general, please take care of yourself." ”

Hearing this, the big tiger immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty,"

After speaking, he lifted the wine and meat in front of him and began to feast.

Looking at the big tiger who eats meat and drinks wine, King Xiao Ming can't help but think.

What the hell is this big tiger going to do?

But it didn't take a while.

Xiao Mingwang, who was sitting on the chair in the cabin, suddenly looked at the river water overflowing on the ground and exclaimed, "General! The cabin is flooded! ”

"General, the cabin is flooded!"

However, the big tiger sitting on the chair didn't pay any attention to it, but sped up his own eating.

"Someone! Help! ”

As the hull of the ship gradually toppled, the big tiger finally stopped eating, he slowly looked at the little king in front of him, and said, "What are you panicking about!" ”

"Even if you arrive at the Underwater Dragon Palace, the last general will guard you!"

Gradually, the big boat sank to the bottom of the river in the middle of the river, and there was no trace of it.

The river was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.

Jinling City.

Outside the palace of King Wu.

Erhu stood outside the door and shouted loudly: "King Wu is in court, and the ministers are in the palace!" ”

With the roar of the two tigers, the civil and military officials standing in two rows outside King Wu's mansion walked into King Wu's mansion one after another.

When he came to the palace of King Wu.

Li Shanchang was the first to kneel on the ground and shouted to Zhu Yuanzhang on the stage: "The heroes of the Quartet have been wiped out, and the officials and people from near and far are all ready for Your Majesty." ”

"The reinvention of the universe is at this time."

"The ministers led the hundred officials, wept blood again, and asked His Majesty to take the position as soon as possible, so as to comfort the hopes of the subjects."

As Li Shanchang said this, the rows of civil and military forces behind him knelt on the ground like Li Shanchang.

But listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang on the stage said with a normal face: "We have received your wishes." ”

"But Yuan Zhang's merits are shallow and his virtues are weak, how dare he claim to be respectful."

"Not really."

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all the ministers shouted: "Your Majesty! ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't call it that anymore." ”

Li Shanchang continued: "Your Majesty's repeated humility shows the virtue of the Lord and the Holy Monarch, which is enough to move the heavens and the earth. ”

"The ministers ask Your Majesty, remember the high hopes of the people in the world, inherit the will of heaven, obey the will of the people, and take the throne as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and said slowly: "King Xiao Ming is the co-lord of the world, even if he wants to ascend the throne of Kaiyuan, King Xiao Ming should be enthroned, and we Yuanzhang will never dare to trespass." ”

"Not allowed!"

Hearing this, the hundred officials in the hall once again admonished: "Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Just when the ancient ceremony of persuasion of hundreds of officials was carried out in this hall, outside the hall, Hu Weiyong suddenly broke in, came to the front of the hundred officials, knelt on the ground and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"The sailor's sentry left urgent."

"It is said that the dragon boat that carried King Xiaoming, when it galloped to Yanziji, the wind and waves were strong, unfortunately, it sank."

Listening to Hu Weiyong's cry in the hall, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the stage changed his face even more.

And Hu Weiyong continued: "Your Majesty King Ming, he drowned。。。。。 ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, immediately got up and shouted at Hu Weiyong: "What about the big tiger! How he escorted it! ”

Hu Weiyong cried: "General Tiger knows that his sins are unforgivable, and he has no face to see His Majesty, he sank himself in the Yangtze River and went with King Ming ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, suddenly sat down on the dragon chair.

Behind him, Erhu couldn't help but have tears on his face when he heard that his eldest brother was dead.
