At this time, outside the Fengtian Temple.

A Confucian in coarse linen clothes, not wearing a scarlet robe, but walking on the royal steps, the guards knew that it was Liu Bowen who came.

Zhuge Liang is divided into three parts of the world, and Liu Bowen dominates the country.

History, Liu Bowen is Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank, he can see accurately and far, and if you want to say that Liu Bowen's most critical mention of Zhu Yuanzhang is that when Chen Youliang conquered the peace, his power was in full swing.

If no one curbs the momentum, Chen Youliang will win consecutive battles, more and more people will take refuge, and the strength will become even greater, some people suggest that Zhu Yuanzhang surrender, some people suggest fleeing to Zhongshan, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself can't make up his mind.

At this time, Liu Bowen, who has been low-key, stood up, he glared at everyone and shouted, the achievement of Wang Tu's hegemony in one fell swoop! There will be no more chances in the future!

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Liu Bowen's suggestion, killed deserters, boosted the morale of the army, and defeated Chen Youliang to lay a crucial battle.

Later generations commented that Liu Bowen's merits should be no lower than Li Shanchang.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang divided the meritorious heroes, he only awarded Li Shanchang the highest prince, but only Liu Bowen's low-ranking earl, and the price was only 240 stones.

At this time, Liu Bowen walked with heavy steps, and stood in the center after entering the hall: "Grass people Liu Ji, knock on Your Majesty." ”

"Liu Bowen, do you know our intention to kill Gao Qi?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was cold, and the sparse music was regarded as a shocking wood, and the sound of the slap almost collapsed the golden roof, and he did not hide the anger in his chest.

"Yes."

"You know, you know that it also makes people instigate King Qi! You know that we won't kill our own son, calculate us, okay, dare to calculate the current emperor. ”

"You have also been a royal historian, convict yourself of a crime."

"Capital offense."

Liu Bowen's face was always calm, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and slowly lowered his head.

Before entering the palace, he explained the aftermath, so that his wife and children would never be able to set foot in the capital, and he would not have to handle the funeral for himself, he knew Zhu Yuanzhang just as Zhu Yuanzhang understood him.

Just when Liu Bowen thought that he was going to be executed, his arm was suddenly grabbed and helped up, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "You, I always thought that we wanted to kill you, and our Zhu Yuanzhang is so unbearable in your Liu Ji's heart?" ”

Liu Bowen's eyes froze.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Whoever we kill, we won't kill you, put your heart back in your stomach." ”

"Your Majesty?"

"We found out today that King Qi's kid has some meaning, Berwyn, do you know ......" Zhu Yuanzhang has been pondering Zhu Rong's words, because it is not the original words, it is difficult to trace the source of the truth.

Liu Bowen thought for a while and said: "The sage said that politics is based on morality, such as the stars arching, what the King of Qi said is probably etiquette and morality, if everything is stipulated by the law, it is inevitable that it will be too strict, and things outside the law can be bound by etiquette and morality, which is indeed a means of governing the world." ”

"What did you tell King Qi?"

Smelling something, Liu Bowen wanted to bow down again, but Zhu Yuanzhang held him: "We know, let's go." ”

Liu Bowen walked out of the main hall, it is not difficult to guess the ins and outs of the matter, Zhu Yuanzhang announced that he entered the palace just to ask a word, if you know, King Qi's usual actions, and then compare what he said, it is indeed impressive.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to appoint someone to teach the king of Chu, but who taught him? The scholars did not dare to talk about the policy of governing the country, not because they couldn't, but because they didn't dare.

King Qi came to his senses?

Liu Bowen saw a person walking towards this side, and recognized it as Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, so he stood in place and waited, saluting according to the rules, but he didn't say a word.

Zhu Yan has seen Liu Bowen a long time ago, he is wearing a cyan Confucian robe, and he is even a little sloppy, his eyes are as clear as ever, and Liu Bowen is a handsome old man, even if he is down-and-out, his temperament is different from that of ordinary old Confucians.

"Do you want Liu Bowen to be your teacher?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was slightly gloomy, Liu Bowen was proficient in the way of power and conspiracy, and he was an indispensable talent, and he did not let him go back to Qingtian because he was worried that Liu Bowen would assist others in harming the peaceful and prosperous world.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicions, if Zhu Rong is not his heir, Zhu Yuanzhang may have to think deeper.

"The prince has Master Song to teach, and I also want a master."

Zhu Yu's eyes were expectant.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Rong, pushed away the sparse music, and stood up quietly.

Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang may not be a good emperor, but he is definitely a good father, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Zhu Li, the king of Jin, thought that Zhu Biao had a weak personality and intended to rebel.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not even abolish their titles.

Zhu Gui, the thirteenth son of the king, became very arrogant and complacent after establishing meritorious deeds, when he played in the market, he hid the axe in the cuff and killed people, Zhu Yuanzhang hated someone to oppress the people the most, Ling Chi was more than enough, but only reprimanded the acting king Zhu Gui.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches too much importance to family affection, in the final analysis, it is his childhood life, wars and strife, endless killing, and an era full of hunger, cold, dirt, and killing, but his parents and eldest brother did not drive him away from home, it is precisely because of this environment that Zhu Yuanzhang feels that family affection is precious.

Except for blood.

There is another reason, Zhu Yuanzhang realized a truth from his past career as a soldier, generals who conquer everything must have a banditry spirit, and there is no one who is not like this, Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Tang He, Feng Sheng and Deng Yu.

From now on, kings will guard their borders.

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally quite disappointed in this son, but thinking back on Zhu Yu's behavior today, he suddenly had a trace of expectation.

He was in no hurry to refuse.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Liu Bowen is very special, he is not willing to let him be raised, and he will not kill such a talent, but the premise is that Liu Bowen must be under his nose.

"In this way, if you convince us, let's let Liu Bowen teach you the scriptures."

"Then I'll recite a poem to my father......"

Zhu Yu's face was full of seriousness, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, only to see Zhu Yuanzhang shaking his head, obviously he was not satisfied with this result, and his face became more serious.

"Seven days later, it will be the king's big test, let's change it to tomorrow, if you can win the first place in the big test, my father will give you a will."

Zhu Yu was stunned, his father obviously didn't want to give him a holy decree.

The Great Exam is an examination for kings in the main hall.

In order to check the knowledge of the kings, Zhu Yuanzhang would order the attendants to give questions to the kings every once in a while, which was originally just a small examination, but Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to it, causing the attendants of the main hall to dare not slack off, so it was called the big test.

The big test is divided into a martial test and a literary test.

The vassal king focused on military trials.

Among the kings' skills, Zhu Di belongs to the first rate, and among the nine kings of the Ming Dynasty in the future, Zhu Di is also the most courageous.

Zhu Rong, the king of Qi, will be proud if he wins a battle, and the powerful enemies on the border have been wiped out by Zhu Di, Zhu Li and Lan Yu, and Zhu Rong has not fought a large-scale battle in the real sense.

Zhu Zhen, the sixth brother of Zhu Zhen, was sealed in Wuchang in order to form the last line of defense to defend the capital.

It's just that the continuous cutting of the feudal domain made the vassal kings too disappointed, and when Zhu Di was on the side of the Qing monarch, even the most loyal Chu king Zhu Zhen did not send troops to help Zhu Yunwen.

If the vassal king is willing to send troops, history may be another direction.

After a short period of discouragement, Zhu Yan suddenly said: "Now, although I can't beat the second and third brothers, if I win the first place, my father will have Tianxian in his mouth, and he must abide by his promise." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't praise him or ridicule him, but just nodded and agreed.

In this way, Zhu Yu retired from the Fengtian Palace, and he knew very well that although he was also very burly, he was still a little worse than his brothers who were a few years older.

However, among his brothers, there is one person who does not lose to Zhu Di.

Liu Jiu chased after Zhu Yu and whispered: "Your Highness, let's change your clothes first, Concubine Da ordered someone to send a freshly woven regular clothes, you... Where are you going? ”
