Chapter 7: The Ministers Obey

Mao Xiang was stunned, he had never thought about this problem.

Liu Bowen was undoubtedly a civil official, and his intuition told him that Zhu Yuanzhang did not necessarily need him to answer, so he held back for a long time.

"The minister doesn't understand, and he doesn't dare to talk about it."

At this time, Zhu Rong was on Cunyi Street and looked at the shriveled and rough straw man.

There was only one cut, stuffed with straw, and the crows that rested on the eaves looked from time to time a strange smell in the air.

"Your Highness, shall we go back to the palace?" Liu Jiu felt that it was also a little scary on Cunyi Street in broad daylight.

On Cunyi Street, people come and go, shops are lined up, and there is a vague scene of recovery and prosperity.

In ancient times, storytelling and singing actually reflected the economic level of a place, and only when they were full of food and drink did the people have the heart to have fun.

Most of the people who came to listen to the music were officials and scholars.

Zhu Yu glanced at the graceful Jiangdong Building, if he was a court official, most officials would come here to release the pressure, there was no interest in going shopping, Liu Jiuyi urged, and he got into the carriage and returned to the palace.

The news of Liu Bowen's use of the imperial court spread, and on the same day, some officials went up to the court and asked to beg to oppose Liu Bowen's departure.

This should have been a trivial matter, according to weekdays, Zhongshu Province only needs to report to Zhu Yuanzhang, but now the momentum is huge, and it has reached the back court.

"Niangniang, everyone in the palace is saying that Your Majesty wants Liu Bowen to come out, and there are already ministers who have gone to Fengtian Hall to see him."

After listening to the report, Queen Ma asked the female official to retreat.

Concubine Dading said worriedly: "Niangniang, the concubine knows that she shouldn't talk about the government, but Liu Bowen, who you want to invite, is the head of eastern Zhejiang, and I am worried about ......"

Queen Ma's calm face gradually became serious, Zhu Rong asked Liu Bowen to be Mr., it was her intention, and she meant to protect Liu Bowen.

She scolded coldly, "Your Majesty has already agreed, what are you worried about!" ”

Back then, she and Zhu Yuanzhang were in desperate situations several times, and those founding heroes in the DPRK and China may not have her peace.

Queen Ma is a rare virtuous and virtuous queen in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

is Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite horse girl.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was imprisoned by Guo Zixing, no one was allowed to send tea and rice in, and Miss Ma stole the freshly baked cooking cakes behind her back to him, and usually secretly prepared dry food and marinated meat, preferring to starve herself and let Zhu Yuanzhang be full.

When Zhu Yuanzhang celebrated, she took the women to sew clothes and make shoes for the soldiers, Chen Youliang soldiers responded to Tiancheng, officials and soldiers fled in all directions, Queen Ma was not in a hurry, but took out her own Jinbao cloth to reward meritorious soldiers and support Zhu Yuanzhang.

It can be said that this country has a great contribution to Queen Ma.

She was not jealous of the concubines, persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to spread the branches, not to favor the kings, and urged the master to discipline.

This wisdom, bearing, and kindness alone made the concubines in the palace ashamed.

Zhu Yu came back from outside the palace and came to visit Queen Ma, and when he entered the palace gate, he found that his mother Concubine Dading and Concubine Hu Chong were also there, sitting around Queen Ma as before.

"Mother, mother, Liu Ji has agreed to be a teacher."

"Hello, come here!"

When Zhu Yu walked in front of him, Queen Ma took his hand and said earnestly:

"The world is decided, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, it is the time of lack of talents, your father and emperor are looking for talents everywhere, Liu Ji is a very talented person, you have to follow him to learn scriptures and classics, don't waste the hard work of your father and mother!"

"Keerchen heard ......"

"Leave them alone."

On the way, Zhu Yu heard that some ministers were opposed, and Queen Ma's resolute attitude made him a little moved.

"Does my mother have silver taels?"

Concubine Da Ding glanced at her son coldly, and scolded: "Niangniang's clothes are torn and refuse to be replaced, you dare to come to Kunning Palace to ask for silver taels, inferior son!" When it reaches the ears of His Majesty, where will I dare to count on you in the future! ”

"I borrowed seven taels of silver and gave it to Liu Bowen as a bondage."

"Well done!" Queen Ma nodded approvingly, took seven taels of silver from the female official, and handed it to Zhu Rong.

Concubine Da Ding couldn't help it, her eyebrows gradually rose, and she stood up a little eagerly: "You bad son, how dare you ask for the queen's silver taels?" ”

Seeing this, Liu Jiu knelt down with his knees bent, as if he imagined that he was made into a straw man by Zhu Yuanzhang and inserted in front of the palace gate to show the public.

"Don't want it, don't want it, don't want it, don't want it........."

He shouted nervously.

The old eunuch in the palace said that during the Lantern Festival one year, there were people outside the palace, and they drew a small picture in hidden language, in which a big-footed woman was holding a watermelon barefoot, satirizing the queen's big feet.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated by Chen Youliang and was injured, Queen Ma relied on these big feet to carry him back.

"Ah, you don't want it."

Coming out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Rong put the silver into his arms, Liu Jiu looked at the whole body, and when Zhu Rong took it into his pocket, he couldn't help crying.

"The slave is just afraid of Your Majesty...... The slave wants it. ”

Look at this bit of courage, how can you be the king's evil dog in the future...... Zhu Yu kicked Liu Jiu's ass again.

Liu Jiu was overjoyed in his heart, Zhu Rong's strength on his feet was very light, and he was playing, and he threw the silver to him, and then, he followed Zhu Rong upside down.

Zhu Yan didn't want to ask Queen Ma for silver taels.

However, the princes have no monthly rules at all, and his mother Concubine Dading is also very frugal, and the important thing is that Queen Ma is worried about Liu Ji, so that she can feel at ease.

Coming out of Kunning Palace, Zhu Yu was ready to plead with Zhu Yuanzhang to restore Liu Bowen's fortune.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, after the officials were given to the officials, there were Lu Lu, but Liu Bowen was falsely accused of plotting misdeeds before, and the situation was very similar to Gao Qi.

Speaking of the specific reason why Liu Ji was suspended.

When Liu Bowen was an official, he had a grudge with Hu Weiyong, and after he returned to Qingtian, he chose a piece of good feng shui land as his future cemetery.

After Hu Weiyong knew about this matter, he gave Zhu Yuanzhang a message, saying that the land selected by Liu Ji contained dragon energy, and such a thing as dragon qi was said to be there, and it was possible to say that there was no such thing.

But Zhu Yuanzhang relied on Mingjiao to start an incident, ascend to the throne, and open up a new dynasty, and it is inevitable that he will have imaginations, such as riding the wind and turning the dragon.

So, Liu Ji was deprived of his money.

After Liu Bowen became a scholar, why did he appear in the capital again.

After Liu Bowen returned to his hometown, Zhu Yuanzhang kept writing to him, asking him about his policies, agricultural hours, and celestial phenomena in governing the world, and sent inspectors to "protect" him.

"Seventh brother, are you going to see your father?"

Walking between Fengtian Hall and Chunhe Palace, you can always see Zhu Biao, who has to go back and forth between the two places more than a dozen times a day.

Zhu Yan saw that Zhu Biao was holding a book in his hand, followed by three auxiliary civil officials, and it seemed that he was going to Fengtian Palace.

"I went to my father and gave Liu Bowen a piece of money, he is now my teacher, he has no official and no position, how can he enter the palace?"

"Father is angry."

"I heard from the eunuchs in the palace."

Zhu Yu left in a hurry, and left without saying a few words to Zhu Biao.

The three civil officials bowed slightly and stood sideways, until Zhu Yu walked away, and one of the civil officials slowly spoke:

"The minister heard that the king of Qi made His Majesty overjoyed in the big test, and the king of Qi was smart, this is to take advantage of His Majesty's favor to ask to see him."

Another civil official shook his head with a worried expression, "When Liu Ji was appointed as the Emperor of the Imperial History, he arrested many corrupt officials in Huaixi, and there were not a few people in the court who opposed his appearance. ”

The last civil official nodded in agreement, "King Qi has overestimated his own weight. ”

The three civil servants knew everything.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang who was sent to assist Zhu Biao, and he had checked his home before he was appointed, and he was a loyal and upright person.

Because Zhu Biao has a generous temperament, they hope that Zhu Biao will be the emperor, and when Zhu Biao becomes the emperor, he is also a minister who has left a name in history, so he will naturally do his best.

After Zhu Biao heard this, he quickly followed.

At this time, in the Fengtian Temple, the officials were kneeling on the ground, as if they had been trained, their voices and movements were surprisingly consistent, and they bowed their heads one by one, looking grief-stricken.

"Your Majesty, don't use Liu Ji again!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the sparse music, picked up the book on the side and flipped it up, "Tell me, Aiqing, why can't Liu Ji be a leader?" ”

Zhongshulang Wang Min knelt on the ground, chattering about Liu Bowen's crimes, he looked up, but suddenly found that Zhu Yuanzhang had turned his back to him, revealing a pair of sharp and terrifying eyes, and suddenly his liver and gallbladder were cold.

Zhu Yuanzhang grimaced and said coldly: "Drag it out." ”

"Thirty lashes!"
