Chapter Twenty-Three: Each plays a big board, and he is actually praising his son!

Hearing that Queen Ma had a tendency to scold herself as a "pig", Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stopped: "Sister! Save some face for us. So many pairs of eyes are watching......"

"They're not outsiders!" Queen Ma snorted.

Zhu Yuanzhang was depressed: "Who said they weren't?" As a big family, Biao'er, Yan'er and the two of us are close, so we can be regarded as insiders......"

"Hey, hey! Even if they're not, right? We have already asked Yun Qi to summon Mr. Liu into the palace. This Mr. Liu, after all, is he an outsider? ”

"What? Mr. Liu was summoned to the palace by you. You're not going to let Yunqi bring people to me, are you? Queen Ma complained in surprise.

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned a little embarrassedly.

Queen Ma rolled her eyes angrily: "You! Do you want to treat this as a family matter, or a business matter? ”

"Then it depends on whether Mr. Liu, the senior apprentice, has sent him a letter privately! This rough boy sent me a letter saying that he was going to gamble with others, just like an ignorant child who got into trouble outside......"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Naturally, if you can be private, you will be private!" But the other party is the child of the old man's family that I worked hard with. How can you convince the people if you come unjustly? Ay! What a dilemma......"

"What's the dilemma?"

Queen Ma said shrewdly: "If you want to come publicly, you can transfer Yan'er back to Beijing for me, so as not to hinder others over there." If you want to be private, you will each beat them up and give Mr. Liu some gifts! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately protested: "If it doesn't work, it won't work!" You old has a fool's idea. No jokes! Since I have sealed that rough boy as a 'Little Wu King'......"

"How can you let him leave the domain so easily? Besides, it's not that I, the emperor, did something wrong. Tell me to apologize to Mr. Liu, what is that? If you want to pay, you will also pay for that rough boy! ”

Queen Ma was so happy, and asked rhetorically, this can't be done, that's not possible, then you are a bad old man, just messing around here, can you solve the problem?

When Liu Bowen heard this, he immediately understood that he should appear on the stage.

"Minister. Sincerity Bo Liu Bowen met ......"

Moreover, he should take the initiative to invite him to Yangzhou to take a trip to reprimand Yang Xian, who is messing around, and to accept the "apology" of King Xiao Wu, and this trouble will not be a trouble.

"Your Majesty! Sincerity Bowen Liu Bowen has arrived! ”

There was a hearty laugh in the palace immediately: "Hahahaha! It was Berwyn who came. Berwyn! Come on in......"

Liu Bowen couldn't help but glance at the eunuchs and palace maids who were hurriedly packing up the books and books, and hesitated for a moment before calmly entering.

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled so much that he sprayed tea all over the ground, and his beard was wet.

Queen Ma also had a smile on her face, sitting on the imperial couch next to her, and at the low table on the couch, there was an open letter.

Liu Bowen said deeply: "The minister has seen His Majesty and the Queen......

Before he could say his greetings, the emperor had already put down the bowl and strode forward to take his hand.

"O Berwyn! You don't have to be formal. ”

Liu Bowen followed suit.

When he approached the royal couch, Queen Ma handed over a cup of tea.

Liu Bowen took it with sincere fear.

As soon as he took a sip of tea, he heard the emperor squint at him and ask questions.

"Do you know about King Xiao Wu and Yang Xian?"

Liu Bowen's hand shook: "The minister also just learned from the letter." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said even more excitedly: "It's really fun for us!" Berwyn. Tell me about it? Reasoning, you Hanlin Academy are all elegant people......"

"Why did Yang Xian do something? It's like leading troops to fight, vigorous and resolute. As soon as we complimented him, he was going to advance his plan by a whole year! ”

There was a crisp sound of "pop", the tea cup in his hand slipped to the ground and shattered, but Liu Bowen couldn't control the porcelain pieces flying, pierced his legs, and bowed down to worship again.

He trembled and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to condemn the ministers? ”

"What are you guilty of?"

"The minister has boasted of knowing people all his life, but this time he mistook Yang Xian'......"

Queen Ma followed and asked, "Oh! What does this say? ”

"Yang Xian is gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact, he has a cool heart!" Liu Bowen said with a wry smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale, chuckled, and exchanged glances with Queen Ma, waiting for Liu Bowen to follow.

Liu Bowen did not hesitate, handed over the letter sent by Yang Xian, and conveyed the two supreme beings to the two supremes who had warned his son Liu Lian at home about "hurting money" and "working for the people".

Zhu Yuanzhang took the letter, quickly scanned it, and even sneered at the corner of his mouth, and handed it to Queen Ma.

As soon as Queen Ma saw it, she knew that the meaning of the letter was back and forth, that is, Yang Xian hoped that Liu Bowen would support him in planning ahead and gamble with his second child.

She slapped the low table and said hatefully, "This rough boy! Do you really dare to use the people as bargaining chips and gamble with others? He can't be spared. ”

However, what she said was a joy that was so trusting that it was doting......

made Liu Bowen feel that it was the second prince who knew that the emperor and empress would not agree to any gambling fight for the division of Yangzhou, and deliberately used this condition to provoke the prefect and his senior apprentice of the Hanlin Academy.

Liu Bowen felt a chill and rolled his back, and said loudly again: "Please Your Majesty immediately punish Yang Xian for a great crime of disrespect, remove him, and punish the ministers for the crime of carelessness!" ”

He was actually saving Yang Xian's life.

If Yang Xian is really allowed to govern Yangzhou, Liu Bowen firmly believes that he will eventually die a good death......

"It is true that Yang Xian and Zhu Yan should be punished!" Zhu Yuanzhang said categorically. "Maybe they meant it well. Compete with each other and be inclusive......"

"But take the people's livelihood as a bargaining chip, and let Yangzhou, which has just settled down less than forty percent, accompany them to play day and night. That's not right, you have to be punished severely! ”

He is like an old man in the countryside who is reprimanding his children and grandchildren, very majestic. But then, he smiled a little sadly: "Berwyn! What are you going to do? ”

"Your Majesty. Fang Chen personally went to Yangzhou and read out His Majesty's punishment to them! And look at their development this month, which is true and which is false? ”

"Do you really think so?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen sharply.

Queen Ma also showed an unfathomable smile.

"Maybe you want to kill your relatives in righteousness?"

"Wrong is wrong! The minister is worthy of it. ”

Liu Bowen said with a serious face.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his sleeves and nodded, "That's okay." Set off when you are ready in the next two days, and send a message to Zhu Yan and Yang Xian for us......"

"Don't you like to gamble? Still three months? Don't gamble, we'll fine you for three months. ”

"Can't you govern Yangzhou well? What are your efforts? Don't come back, let someone else come to see us with your head! ”

The words he said sounded very cold and brutal at first glance, but they made Liu Bowen feel as comfortable as a spring breeze in March.

After all, there is no way to demarcate Yangzhou and govern it......

also indirectly dismissed the problem of Yang Xian planning a year in advance......
