After speaking, he said to Zhu Biao on the side: "Zhu Biao, listen." ”

"Throw all the fish, cats, dogs, and rabbits in the palace into the moat, and drown them all!"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhu Biao, who had a modest personality, could only say obediently: "Obey the order." ”

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang made a gesture and wanted to fight again.

Li Shanchang hurriedly got up, stopped Zhu Yuanzhang's movements, and said, "Stop, Emperor!" You can't fight anymore. ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's words, the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart calmed down slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to the cabinet on the side and sat down, and said to Li Shanchang with hatred: "Good chief, take a look, look at what these dogs have become crazy." ”

And Li Shanchang took Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon boots, came to the stairs and sat down, ready to put Zhu Yuanzhang on.

But he found that Zhu Yuanzhang was barefoot at all, and couldn't help asking: "Superior, where are your socks?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about this, and directly snatched the shoes and put them on himself.

And Li Shanchang persuaded him: "Your Majesty, the princes' dislike of learning is the fault of the masters and ministers, and they should be blamed, but if you angrily take off your court boots and beat the prince, this will lose the dignity of the Son of Heaven and not conform to the royal etiquette." ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's admonition, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We have been reading little since we were children, and we don't know any etiquette, so we rely on them, rely on them, and hope that they will make up for what we have lost." ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang could not be persuaded by Li Shanchang, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the time for the court meeting has arrived, and the ministers are waiting." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard Li Shanchang's reminder, remembered something and hurriedly said, "Ouch, yes, yes, let's go." ”

As he walked, he asked the eunuch beside him for a dragon crown.

did not forget to reprimand the princes present: "Listen, no one is allowed to move, kneel and wait here!" When I'm down, see how I clean you up! Son of a bitch, delay me from going to court! ”

On the square outside the main hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the main hall, and said to Li Shanchang beside him: "The ministers are all in a hurry, right?" ”

Li Shanchang said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just a little uneasy." ”

"Why?"

Li Shanchang said: "Because they heard that the emperor is going to announce the list of conferments at the court meeting today. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, was still impatient to walk towards the main hall, but at this moment he suddenly stopped.

"Who said that?"

Li Shanchang said: "Blue jade." ”

"Oh, maybe Sapphire just listened to some rumors."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked lightly: "What rumors?" ”

Li Shanchang said: "The minister doesn't know. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, walked around slowly, and asked Li Shanchang at the same time, "What about you?" What rumors have you heard? ”

Li Shanchang said: "The minister didn't hear it. ”

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was listening to Li Shanchang's words and thinking about something, a person suddenly ran to him.

This person was old, his face was pale, and when he came to Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately bowed down and said, "The minister asks the emperor for his guilt!" ”

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly supported him: "Song Lian, what are your crimes?" ”

Song Lian said: "As the prince and the master, I am also in charge of the master of the East Palace, I heard that the emperors are naughty, which makes the emperor angry and angry, and the minister is guilty of dereliction of duty!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Biao, who was standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang on the side, hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Song, the eighth brother and the ninth brother are not under your control." ”

Seeing Zhu Biao speaking for him, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "I heard it, the prince exonerated you." ”

Song Lian, who heard this, saw Zhu Yuanzhang using the word 'exculpation', and didn't know what to say for a while.

And Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Well, you are really good, the princes have their own masters, and today's affairs have nothing to do with you." ”

Seeing this, Song Lian hurriedly said: "Thank you, Emperor! ”

At this moment, Li Shanchang on the side hurriedly glanced at Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao also said with understanding: "Father, the ministers are waiting." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What's the hurry, didn't you listen to Mr. Li?" Now in Fengtian Temple, there are already a lot of rumors. ”

Li Shanchang saw Zhu Yuanzhang talking about this in front of Song Lian, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't say a lot, the minister just said maybe." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, and said: "Well, yes, yes, yes, you are careful with your words, it is consistent." ”

After speaking, he said to Zhu Biao: "Spread the decree to the Heavenly Palace, and the court will be delayed for an hour." ”

"We have something to talk to Mr. Song."

Seeing that Zhu Biao wanted to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since the rumors have risen, let's make these rumors more lively." ”

"Go."

Seeing that he couldn't change Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, Zhu Biao stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly said: "Erchen has the order." ”

And Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Song Lian and said, "Mr. Song, come on." ”

With that, Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Song Lian aside.

Began to talk about the discipline of the Pope.

wants Song Lian to be in charge of the East Palace Taishi and lead the teaching affairs of the entire princes.

But in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Song Lian said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the old ministers are old and their energy is not as good as before, but the princes are alive and energetic. The old minister has the heart to share his majesty's worries, but he is really powerless. ”

Listening to Song Lian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Mr. Song, you are modest, don't you look at our mark, aren't you taught very well?" ”

But Song Lian said: "The temperament between this prince and the prince is different, the prince has a gentle temperament, and he doesn't need more teaching from Weichen, but the other princes are different, they are playful by nature, and their temperament is lively. ”

Seeing that Song Lian insisted on saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also helpless, so he had to retreat and say: "In that case, Mr. Song recommends a gentleman to us, we, the princes, have been happy since their mother went to Dingyang to sweep the tomb." ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry.

Song Lian pondered carefully, then looked at everyone left and right, and said: "Lao Chen does have the most suitable candidate in his heart, with him, Lao Chen dares to say that after more than a month's work, the princes will definitely study honestly." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Oh? Tell me, who? ”

"General!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, the expression that was still excited just now disappeared instantly.

And Song Lian on the side, as if he didn't know anything about this, continued: "Your Majesty, the princes are noble, if they are taught by ordinary people, they will be timid, if they can be taught by the general, with the talent and identity of the general, they will definitely be able to convince the princes." ”

Listening to Song Lian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "Who is the general, how can he come to teach the prince, no, let's talk about it." ”

.............

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and Song Lian were discussing matters related to teaching the prince.

Qi Heng and Ma Xiuying came to Dingyang together to sweep the tomb.

At leisure.

Ma Xiuying slowly sat on the chair brought by the maid, and asked Qi Heng in front of her: "Jun Tao, you are not too young, and it's time to start a family, why are you still so frivolous and not serious?" ”

Listening to Ma Xiuying's words, Qi Heng said indifferently: "This marriage depends on the marriage, there is no way, I haven't seen anyone who looks at the right eye until now." ”

Qi Heng's words made Ma Xiuying shake her head helplessly, and said: "Forget it, how many times have I said this, and I can't persuade you, so I won't persuade you either." But there's one thing I have to tell you about. ”

"Since you don't want to get married, why do you want to provoke those yellow flower girls? Good girl, you are so teased, you are all devoted to you, but you don't give anyone an explanation. ”

Listening to Ma Xiuying's lesson, Qi Heng was also helpless.

On the side, Yu'er, who was standing behind Ma Xiuying, couldn't help but laugh when she saw that the heroic general Qi Heng was now being educated like a child in front of Ma Xiuying.

"Well, I knew it wasn't good to come with you."

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Ma Xiuying sighed helplessly, and then said to Qi Heng: "By the way, I haven't eaten the barbecue you made for a long time, and I want to eat more when I come out this time." ”

Qi Heng, who was sitting on the stone on the ground, immediately got up and said, "Gotcha! ”

On the main hall of the Royal Palace.

Because of the rumors about the award, Zhu Yuanzhang scolded everyone on the top of the hall.

But fortunately, the time of the conferment ceremony was smoothly postponed.

After the end of the court.

The ministers withdrew.

In the evening, when Li Shanchang slowly returned to the mansion, as the door opened, a subordinate immediately said to Li Shanchang: "My lord, Tang Shuai came to pay a visit." ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang looked left and right and wondered, "What about people?" ”

The servant replied, "I've been waiting in the living room for half an hour." ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang hurriedly said: "Quick, close the door and thank you." ”

"Yes."

Behind Li Shanchang's house.

Li Shanchang looked at Tang He at the corner of the corridor, smiled and said, "Tang Shuai is here." ”

Tang He said with a smile: "Mr. Li, what a big house." ”

Li Shanchang said with a smile: "This house was rewarded by the superiors, and later I added the east and west courtyards, speaking of which, I thank Tang Shuai for this." ”

Tang He said: "Thank me for what? ”

Li Shanchang said: "Tang Shuai forgot, didn't you send 500 soldiers to build a courtyard wall and open a canal for me?" You've helped me a lot, or I wouldn't have been able to get up in this yard. ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's words, Tang He said lightly: "The superior knows about this." ”

Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but Tang He continued: "The superior is very annoyed with me."

Seeing this, Li Shanchang hurriedly said: "Tang Shuai, this is not your business, I will follow the superior to ask for sin." ”

But Tang He waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, this matter is over, don't say it, don't mention a word." ”

"I guess, if you mention this, the superior will pretend to be confused and ask you in turn: Oh? Tang He sent troops to work for you, how many soldiers were sent, why don't we know. ”

Listening to Tang He's words, Li Shanchang replied: "Yes, this is him." ”

And Tang He continued: "That's not all, I'm afraid he will say, what, isn't the house we gave you enough to live in?" Why do you need to cover it? Just give the Qianqing Palace to you. ”

Li Shanchang said slowly: "What Tang Shuai said is yes. Good good, it's inappropriate. ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's introspection, Tang He said: "Mr. Li, I came here to talk to you, in case I have any mistakes, please take care of it for me." ”

Li Shanchang was taken aback: "Tang Shuai, what do you say?" ”

"You are the founding father, the first commander of the Ming Dynasty, and you are a sworn brother with the superior, what will you miss?"

"Does the superior want to blame you?"

Listening to Li Shanchang's inquiry, Tang He sighed slowly and said, "I don't know." ”

"Mr. Li, I just vaguely feel that my superiors are becoming more and more cold to me. In the past, I had to see him, and I would go in with my legs raised, but now I have to be informed, and then I will wait for the summons. ”

"Today's Fengtian Palace, those few compelling words from the upper position are actually coming at me, and I want to meet the superior after the next court, but the second tiger passed on his dictation and said, there is something to hand over a fold."

"Listen."

Facing Tang He's story, Li Shanchang couldn't help asking: "Tang Shuai, what happened between you and your superiors?" How could this suddenly be the case? ”

But Tang He shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, I really don't know." ”

At this moment, a subordinate from the palace suddenly ran to Li Shanchang's side: "Master." ”

But before the words could be spoken, Li Shanchang said: "I said it, I don't see the guests." ”

But the subordinate said: "Yes, it's Hu Weiyong." ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang thought for a while and said, "Let him wait in the study." ”

"Yes."

As the subordinates left, Tang He continued: "Mr. Li, I have been bored for a few days, and today I finally said it, this heart, I am much happier, I will leave." ”

After saying that, he got up to leave.

And Li Shanchang also got up and said to Tang He: "Tang Shuai, the temper of the superior is suspicious, and Tang Shuai has always been above board, and the three armies are powerful, you will never be fine." ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's comfort, Tang He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'm not going to let Zhu Chongba be scared to death." ”

But Li Shanchang continued: "Shanchang has a saying, if you say it wrong, don't worry about Tang Shuai." ”

Tang He said: "It's okay, you say." ”

Li Shanchang said: "Tang Shuai is the person I respect the most, if Tang Shuai is in trouble, the good man will definitely share the honor and disgrace with you." ”

Hearing this, Tang He immediately arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Inside the study.

After delivering the soup and leaving, Li Shanchang came to the study as soon as possible.

As soon as he entered the door and looked at Hu Weiyong's back, Li Shanchang asked, "Weiyong, what's the matter?" ”

Hu Weiyong respectfully helped Li Shanchang to sit down, and then said: "Duke Li, I heard from the master of the East Palace that the emperor will be on a northern tour the day after tomorrow, and the prince and the prince over six years old will all accompany him. ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang was stunned.

"The northern tour that was originally scheduled for the beginning of next month was suddenly advanced?"

Hu Weiyong said: "My subordinates don't know. ”

Seeing this, Li Shanchang said: "It's okay, I have something to talk to the superiors, and it will be much more convenient to talk to each other day and night on the way to the north." ”

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong thought for a while and said: "I heard before I came down that the minister of the chamberlain is Liu Bowen......."
