Chapter 26: Why is Your Majesty so fond of Zhu Tong

Fengtian Temple,

As soon as the court meeting ended, everyone retreated home one after another, when Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly called Liu Bowen to stop.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen were left in the entire Fengtian Palace, and Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and asked:

"Berwyn, let's show you something good."

Zhu Yuanzhang said and took out a pale yellow paper bag from his arms, Liu Bowen leaned forward slightly, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang's hand to examine it carefully.

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully opened the paper bag, and slowly handed his shaky hand to Liu Bowen's face, and the paper bag was filled with white sand grains, scattered through the paper.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Liu Bowen asked puzzled.

"Haha! This is refined salt, a good thing that you can't see outside, come and take a bite. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said proudly, holding it with both hands for fear of spilling a little.

Liu Bowen casually picked up a little and put it in his mouth, chewed it seriously, and kept nodding and praising it.

Although he already knew about the salt, he also knew that His Majesty had a strong sense of self-esteem, and he had pretended to be stupid many times in order to take care of His Majesty's face, but he had not been able to hide from His Majesty in these little tricks.

On the contrary, he has pulled his relationship with His Majesty even further.

At this time, Liu Bowen remembered Zhu Tong's salt production, salt has always been a major plan for the people's livelihood, if Zhu Tong's wind spreads, it will shake the country's foundation, and he must find a suitable opportunity to make a statement to His Majesty and replace it with the power of the imperial court.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen meaningfully:

"Guess who made this salt, Berwyn?"

But this time, Liu Bowen didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had the same intention of strictly prohibiting this bad atmosphere as himself, so he quickly replied:

"Your Majesty, this Weichen has heard of it."

"This is, made by Zhu Tong Xiaolangjun, the production method is peculiar, the effect is excellent, and it is really a strange person."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Bowen's words and laughed,

My heart instantly became much more relaxed, that is nature, can our son be bad?

Zhu Yuanzhang had an inexplicable inferiority complex since he accepted Liu Bowen, afraid that he would not be able to control this wise man who is known as the first in the world, and Liu Bowen's self-esteem also made him feel dissatisfied.

Every time, Liu Bowen praised himself as if he was mocking himself in disguise, which was one of the reasons why he didn't trust Liu Bowen, but such a talented man had to be reused.

Now that his son is so praised by him, he has no compliment, and he is very comfortable in his heart.

And just when Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, Liu Bowen poured a basin of cold water on him, and he said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, this wind must not be fueled, and should be removed before it becomes a threat."

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, looked at Liu Bowen with a puzzled expression, and asked in surprise:

"Why? What threat can he pose to us? ”

What other threat can his son bring to us, our throne will be his, what is he threatening us for? What tricks does this Liu Bowen have to say?

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied in his heart, he still said to Liu Bowen kindly:

"Berwyn, you analyze for us, what threat can that kid bring to us?"

Liu Bowen really thought that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see the harm of salt making clearly for a while, so he explained in an orderly manner:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the benefits of making salt are extremely heavy, and the salt of Zhu Tong is very fine, so the profits will be very huge."

"The world is based on farming, and if you let it go, it will hurt the country, and it should be banned."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly when he heard this,

"Berwyn, you're right, but we don't think that little Langjun will threaten us. And we're quite optimistic about that little Langjun. ”

Liu Bowen was instantly stunned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, originally he thought that His Majesty would definitely stop making salt after listening to his analysis, but he didn't expect His Majesty to encourage that little guy to make salt.

I really can't figure out what is unique about that little guy and how His Majesty can be tolerant of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang finished showing Zhu Tong's affairs, and then seriously discussed state affairs, the military situation in the morning was 800 miles urgent, and it was urgent to make a decision, and the battle situation was very complicated, and the meeting and resolution would be delayed, which would delay the fighter plane.

Hence this urgent measure.

The two monarchs and ministers came to the Ming boundary map and began to formally discuss countermeasures......

......

Cheng

Zhu Tong returned home, packed up his things and prepared to enter the palace to decoct the medicine for Queen Ma, and her sister was so shocked that she was stupid when she saw Zhu Tong's income today.

"Brother, you're not going to steal the palace, are you? So much silver! ”

Zhu Tong smiled and glanced at Xu Yi next to him, Xu Yi immediately replied: "Sister Xiao Pan, this is all earned by the eldest brother selling salt, and I was next to me at the time." ”

Zhu Tong looked around at the dilapidated old mansion and said to the three of them:

"In a few days, let's buy a bigger house, be a little more stylish, and live in it comfortably."

It happened that at this time, the official messenger who picked up Zhu Tong also pushed the door in, Zhu Tong exchanged a few words with him, and asked Xu Yi to take care of the salt field, so he followed the official messenger into the palace.

In the Qianning Palace, Queen Ma has recovered as before, pacing to the courtyard, looking at the hidden spring can't help but feel very happy, the early morning sunlight is extremely refreshing.

In the twilight of winter, Yingtianfu gradually came to life, even though the heavy snow covered the world overnight, but the new shoots in the flower garden were also ready to move, and the maids in the door and the courtyard were drowsy by the sun.

Looking at the new vitality, Queen Ma couldn't help but think of her Tong'er, who is twenty and six years old this year, still alone, without a family, although she has a younger sister, she still needs him to take care of her.

After so many years of hard work, she still can't make him live more comfortably as soon as possible, what earth-shattering feats and great military feats are just a passing moment in her eyes, and she has seen too much in this life.

Slowly, I understood what is the most important thing, and living a peaceful and stable life is the most important thing, which is not only the expectation of my son, but also my own selfishness.

She hopes that her Tong'er can be by her side every day, not to do anything big, and not to be hurt too much.

And Chongba is not like this, he has always been like cultivating Biao'er into a competent emperor before, that is, he wants to kill decisively, and he can control the ministers, but Biao'er is a good person.

can't bear to kill innocents indiscriminately, which also makes Chonghachi very dissatisfied, and now that Tong'er is back, he pins this hope on Tong'er again.

But the road to the emperor has always been full of killing and bloodshed, and he is really worried about whether Zhu Tong can sit on the throne safely, and how to deal with those arrogant generals.

There is also the ubiquitous power struggle, thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little worried, looking at the empty corridor, I suddenly feel full of emotions and don't know what to do.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang swaggered from the corridor.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the melancholy on Queen Ma's face, and he was a little puzzled, obviously his son has returned, and the big things his son has done recently are also praised, why is our sister still so melancholy.

So he asked puzzledly:

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
