Chapter 220: Do You Still Want to Show Grace? [Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward]

What Chen Huaiyi said yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that it was not all nonsense.

Many things are clearly written in the history books.

Therefore, in order to prevent such a problem from occurring in his dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has been thinking about it all night, and now he is teaching it to several princes little by little.

That's when it happened.

Liu Bowen, who was outside the Fengtian Palace, also got the order from the Second Tiger, and according to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he took his own prayer fold and went towards the Wuying Palace.

But when Liu Bowen was walking in the corridor of the palace, he suddenly met Li Shanchang at a corner.

Liu Bowen hurriedly nodded.

Seeing this, Li Shanchang said, "Berwyn, where are you going?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Bowen replied: "The emperor asked me to wait in Wuying Palace." ”

Li Shanchang let out an 'oh' and said, "I happened to be on the way, shall I accompany you for a walk?" ”

Liu Bowen naturally would not refuse, and as soon as he raised his hand, he said, "Xiangguo, please." ”

As the two walked side by side, Li Shanchang looked at the fold in Liu Bowen's hand and asked, "What is that?" ”

Liu Bowen said: "This is a prayer fold presented to the emperor below. ”

Hearing this, Li Shanchang sighed and said: "I have heard about the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I plan to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in person, and express my condolences to the imperial history on behalf of Zhongshu Province, which can be regarded as suppressing the shock and washing away some grievances." ”

However, the meaning of Li Shanchang's words was instantly understood by Liu Bowen.

The right prime minister of Zhongshu Province wants to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to condole.

Why are you?

Moreover, what do you mean by saying this in front of him Liu Bowen now?

And the seemingly coincidental meeting just now, is it really a coincidence?

Liu Bowen's heart is like a mirror.

After yesterday's incident, although Li Shanchang did not really target him Liu Bowen, he also unexpectedly demonstrated his Li Shanchang's methods.

Just such a casual move almost destroyed all of his Liu Bowen's foundations.

Now at this time, I deliberately took the opportunity to meet him Liu Bowen, and I couldn't have understood what it meant.

However, although Liu Bowen seems to be a failure, in the face of Li Shanchang's words, he just smiled and said: "Thank you Prime Minister for your love, but the Prime Minister still don't go." ”

Li Shanchang said: "Why? ”

Liu Bowen was not polite, and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate does not belong to the control of Zhongshu Province, although the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not high, and Lu is not thick, but it has the right to supervise ministers at all levels, including the prime ministers of Zhongshu Province. ”

"If Xiangguo goes to condole, I'm afraid it will be a show of gratitude, right?"

Seeing that Liu Bowen rejected his kindness so decisively, Li Shanchang's face gradually turned cold, not as enthusiastic as before, and said: "That's right, but there is one person who will not be checked by all of you, right?" That's the emperor! ”

"But your deployment is monitored by the emperor, may I ask, is this called supervision, or is it called Du Cha?"

Since his goal cannot be achieved, Liu Bowen is not willing, and Li Shanchang has no good words.

But Liu Bowen didn't care about this, and said directly: "This is stupidity in the first place. Thanks to the blessing of the Prime Minister, Chen Huaiyi has already paid the price for this. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shanchang was reluctant to take this name, and said, "Thanks to me? Liu Bowen, what do you mean by that? ”

Liu Bowen said: "The good elder brother should know in his heart. ”

At this time, Liu Bowen was angry in his heart, and he did not have the modesty of the past.

"If the good elder brother follows him early to say hello, he will definitely strictly restrain his subordinates not to be stupid. And what about the good elder brother? But at the wedding banquet, he tried his best to persuade the emperor to be crowned. ”

Faced with Liu Bowen's words, Li Shanchang no longer pretended to be stupid, laughed twice, and said: "Isn't the wedding banquet more festive?" If others are not stupid, why should you be stupid? Did all the fools run to your capital procuratorate? Well? ”

"Berwyn, aren't you the wisest among the hundred officials?"

Listening to Li Shanchang's cynicism, Liu Bowen shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Shan, do you remember the first quarrel between you and me?" ”

Faced with Liu Bowen mentioning the past and the verbal agreement between the two, Li Shanchang shook his head directly and said, "I don't remember." ”

"And I'm glad I'm forgetful."

Li Shanchang saw that he couldn't win over, and he had a few unflavored conversations with Liu Bowen, and now he is even more ruthless.

In the face of Li Shanchang's attitude, Liu Bowen was no longer humble.

It's all bullied to your own head, what are you humble?

"Alright, then I'll give you a little reminder. At that time, Brother Shan's eldest brother said a word to Zaixia, which made Zaixia very moved. You said that when you first arrived at the righteous army, you were also poured horse urine by the soldiers, and the good elder brother is still like this, how can you avoid disasters below? Also, Brother Shan, I told you frankly at that time that your position as the first assistant is unshakable, and Berwyn will never dare. ”

"Besides, Berwyn doesn't want to compete with the good elder brother. It's just that now I want to add one more sentence, you and I don't want to be used by villains! ”

Liu Bowen deserves to be Liu Bowen.

The same words, one before the other, have completely different meanings and completely different effects.

If he, Li Shanchang, is willing to remember the verbal agreement, then he Liu Bowen's words will go from the back to the front.

But now that he, Li Shanchang, chose not to remember what he had said, this reversal is to warn him Li Shanchang.

It was you, Li Shanchang, who was poured horse urine first.

Now that he has been reprimanded by His Majesty, it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate who is angry.

What about in the future?

Will you Li Shanchang have such a day?

At the same time, when he said this and mentioned this matter, he was also reminding him Li Shanchang to think about his former virtues.

However, Liu Bowen finally understood the truth that he would see each other better in the future.

At the end, the words that there is a villain between the two are raised.

In this regard, Li Shanchang was stunned when he heard it.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he also understood who Liu Bowen was referring to.

Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong's actions, how could he Li Shanchang not know?

But I didn't know about it in advance, so I couldn't stop it.

After all, he didn't mean to target Liu Bowen.

His direction towards the situation in the court has not changed.

But Hu Weiyong is his own person after all.

Now that he's done it, there's no way to change it.

You can only go down the line.

At this point, in the face of his disciple's self-assertion, Li Shanchang chose a completely different path from Liu Bowen.

Of course, this is also where his confidence lies.

He has the ability to confront the self-assertions of his disciples.

But today's Liu Bowen doesn't have that ability.

The reason why he Li Shanchang appeared here at this moment and took the opportunity to talk with Liu Bowen was because of Hu Weiyong's self-assertion, which led to the current situation.

In that case, what should he do with Li Shanchang?

can only follow the current situation, and want to win him over to Liu Bowen when he is in the most difficult time.

He said that he wanted to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to condole, what did he mean?

Just like Liu Bowen's words, it is to show grace.

That Metropolitan Procuratorate and Zhongshu Province are the same in grade, which he Li Shanchang doesn't know? He knows.

But he still said this, which was to test his Liu Bowen's tone.

Come up with an idea to see if he, Liu Bowen, is willing to belong to his command.

If he is willing, then his condolences will be natural. At the same time, I also took this opportunity to show the vassals of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that from now on, this right prime minister of Zhongshu Province will be your master.

But the answer is now out.

Liu Bowen was unwilling.

Even now, in the eyes of the foreign ministers, Liu Bowen's situation is extremely difficult, and he has lost the emperor's favor and the emperor's trust.

But Liu Bowen was still unwilling to submit to Li Shanchang's command like this.

At this time, facing Liu Bowen's reminder, Li Shanchang knew it, but he didn't care about Liu Bowen's words at all: "Bowen, Wuying Hall has arrived, take your prayer fold, go in and wait." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Shanchang turned around and left.

His attitude is already obvious.

Seeing this, Liu Bowen let out a long sigh.

Li Shanchang was telling him that their love affair ended here.

Then, Liu Bowen didn't think much about it, walked into the Wuying Palace, sat on the chair in the hall and waited patiently.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side.

At this time, the emperors who were still teaching themselves in the side hall of the Fengtian Temple.

He drank a cup of tea slowly, and then said, "Let's tell you about the eighth thing." ”

"Imperial Court!"

"What is the imperial court?"

"It is to gather the top people in the world together, this is the imperial court. Talking and laughing here, eyes can kill. Here, a small thing can knock down a mountain. And Taishan's big things can be pressed under the root of the tongue so that you can't see or hear. ”

"The court is complicated. People's hearts are unpredictable, especially those civil servants and scholars, who are fierce soldiers, and they are even more difficult to control. If you can do the job this time, you can do it, but if you make a slight mistake, those imperial historians will be impeached, and those generals will whisper. At that time, Dad will have to do it again according to the law. ”

"So, you stay away from the court, be lonely, and specialize in commanding troops on the border, okay! Boys, you must respect yourselves! ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's teachings, the emperors should be again.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also continued: "Finally, my father is going to tell you about the ninth thing." What day is it? ”

Look at the people who are puzzled.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You remember, today is the death day of our Zhu family, and your grandparents starved to death on this day." ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to recall the scene when he was a child.

"At the time of the funeral, there was not even a complete reed mat at home, and our mother's feet were exposed."

Speaking of these, the iron-clad man Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed a little more.

"Second brother, take off your coat and wrap our father's feet. Your grandparents have just settled in the ground......"

in the side nave.

As Zhu Yuanzhang told about the tragic experience, the princes also empathized with each other and shed tears.

At last.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly wiped away his tears, and then said to them with a smile: "You see, today was originally a day of great joy, and my father should have congratulated you, but now he has a lot of grief and pain." ”

"However, Dad still wants you to remember that the Ming Dynasty was built in ruins. It is also built on the bones of your grandparents and hundreds of people all over the world. ”

"If you hear this, it hurts, it hurts, that's a good thing! It means that you have grown up! ”

"Come, get up."

"Wiping away all your tears!"

Then he came to them with a smile, looked them up and down carefully, and said, "Listen, you will set off at once and go to the various domains to take up the throne." Daddy, I don't keep food, and I don't appreciate wine. ”

"Father's words just now, those nine questions, those things that are difficult to say, and have to be said, will be regarded as a magnificent deed for you! Babies, go to work! ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhu Biao on the side and said, "Biao'er, send your younger brothers out of the city." ”

Hearing this, several princes said respectfully: "Obey." ”

Watch these babies leave.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know if it was because he was lonely in his heart, or because he didn't sleep all night last night, and he just felt tired.

Slowly came to his dragon couch, and lay alone in a daze.

The two tigers outside the hall saw the princes leave one by one.

and came to the temple.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang in the room, after thinking about it, he finally came over and reminded: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhongcheng is still waiting in the Wuying Palace, and it has been an hour now." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let him wait." ”

"Yes."

Just when Erhu was about to leave, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something, closed his eyes and said, "Wait! ”

"Go, please invite the backer king."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Erhu nodded and said, "Obey." ”

Noon.

Inside the Wuying Palace.

Ma Xiuying didn't know where she learned about what Liu Bowen had been waiting for in Wuying Palace, and ordered the maid Yu'er to bring someone to bring the meal over.

"Lord Liu, it's noon, let's eat, the queen will reward you."

Hearing this, Liu Bowen immediately said: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Yu'er nodded, bowed down and said, "Yu'er retires." ”

But just as Yu'er was about to leave, Liu Bowen suddenly said: "Yu'er, please play the queen's mother, the minister wants to see her." ”

Yu'er nodded and said, "Got it." ”

And when Yu'er returned to the harem, several princes in the house were kneeling in front of Ma Xiuying.

"What! The emperor told you to leave now?! ”

Zhu Biao, who was the leader, had no choice but to explain: "My father has a decree that I must go out of the city before sunset, and the royal brothers say goodbye to my mother." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying said despite all the reluctance in her heart: "Okay, let's go, remember that you must pay attention to safety." ”

Hearing this, the princes bowed their heads in front of Ma Xiuying, and then got up and left.

And Ma Xiuying also got up from the chair, came to the gate of the palace, and watched them gradually move away.

This time, the road is long.

I don't know when I'll see you again.

At this time, Yu'er also took this opportunity to say to Ma Xiuying: "Niangniang, Liu Bowen is still waiting in the Wuying Palace, but the emperor has not seen him, Liu Bowen asked Niangniang if she can see him." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying was not confused, and said directly: "I don't see." ”

"The emperor told him to wait as long as he wanted."

Hearing this, Yu'er nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

Looking at Yu'er, who was about to go down to pass the word, Ma Xiuying said again: "Come on, Bang told him, he should understand it in his heart." ”

Just as Ma Xiuying and Yu'er were saying this, Qi Heng suddenly appeared outside the door.

He happened to hear the conversation between them just now.

For a moment, Qi Heng's face was extremely gloomy.

That Liu Bowen is going to use his sister again!

It's just that he just made him wait, and he actually wanted to invite the queen as a courtier.

This Liu Bowen really took his kindness seriously when he took the initiative to follow Ma Xiuying back to Jinling!

Several times, he used Ma Xiuying to help him do things with this kindness.

After this day, I'm afraid I'm going to get started!

Just when Qi Heng had a gloomy face, he happened to meet Ma Xiuying who walked out of the door.

Seeing this scene, Qi Heng's face changed instantly.

smiled and said to Ma Xiuying: "Sister, where are you going?" ”

Ma Xiuying, who was originally in a bad mood because of the princes' departure from the capital and Liu Bowen's affairs, instantly smiled after seeing Qi Heng.

"Jun Tao! How did you get here! ”

Qi Heng said with a smile: "The emperor summoned me, but when I arrived at Fengtian Palace, I saw that he was sleeping, so I simply didn't disturb him, let him sleep more, and came directly to my sister." ”

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Ma Xiuying nodded and said, "I was also planning to go to that big brother's place." ”

Hearing this, Qi Heng deliberately asked, "Oh? Can I help you? ”

Ma Xiuying smiled and said, "It's nothing." ”

Qi Heng didn't ask any more questions about this, but looking at Ma Xiuying's demeanor, Qi Heng had already guessed it in his heart.

With Ma Xiuying's character, although she said that she would let Liu Bowen wait by herself, she still wouldn't do it in her heart, and she was afraid that she would go out to plead with Liu Bowen.

Thinking of this, Qi Heng said: "Sister, I haven't eaten at noon, come to you for a meal?" ”
