There was silence in the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not reprimand these yin and yang weird nobles, he scooped a spoonful of pearl jade white jade soup by himself and sent it to his mouth to taste.

It's really like you're tasting some kind of unique food.

After a long time, he was willing to swallow it.

Then a look of memory appeared on his face, and he slowly spoke:

"Thirty years ago, in the spring, there was a famine in our hometown. We remember clearly, on the sixth day of April that year, my father starved to death...... Three days later, my eldest brother died of starvation...... After another three years, my eldest nephew starved to death...... By April 22, my mother was gone. ”

"In less than a month, four of our family starved to death!" Zhu Yuanzhang choked up, tears welling up in his eyes; A group of Huaixi civil and military officers also had a sad face, and many people began to wipe their tears, obviously thinking of their families.

"What's even more sad is that our second brother and I can't find a place to be buried, because every piece of land has an owner! Later, the neighbors couldn't stand it, so they gave us a cemetery, and we wrapped the bodies of our relatives in straw mats, and then buried them hastily. ”

"After the funeral, we knew that we couldn't survive at home, so we had to go our separate ways and flee separately. I just asked for food all the way, but there was a famine everywhere, how could I get food? ”

"Within a few days, I was dizzy with hunger, had a fever, and finally passed out on the side of the road. In those days, not too many people starved to death on the roadside. Seeing that we couldn't escape, fortunately we were rescued by a walking monk and put me in a ruined temple. ”

"The kind-hearted monk pouted and threw the vegetable leaves, paste rice gabal, and half a piece of rancid tofu from various families into the pot, and after a while, the fragrance rose, and the saliva flowed to the navel."

"The monk brought me something to eat, oops, it's really delicious in the world! Let's take all this pot of soup by ourselves, we are comfortable and sweating profusely! As a result, the disease was cured, and the person came back to life, so that he could follow the monk to the Huangjue Temple, and this could live to this day. ”

"Our second brother didn't have this luck, he didn't drink this bowl of pearl jade and white jade soup, and he died on the way to escape." Zhu Yuanzhang said, wiped a handful of old tears, and sobbed:

"We always think about it, if I had such a pot of soup at home at that time, maybe my father and mother would have survived and seen the day when his son became emperor......"

A whining cry sounded, and Li Zhen, who was sitting on the side, was already crying out of her nose. Xu Da also wiped his tears while comforting Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The upper position can drink this bowl of pearl jade and white jade soup, this is the destiny of heaven."

"Yes, without this bowl of soup, there would be no Ming Dynasty today. This is the most expensive bowl of soup in the world, pearl jade and white jade soup, worthy of its name! Hu Weiyong also said loudly.

"In that case, why don't you drink it?" Zhu Yuanzhang stopped crying and asked.

"Hey, drink." All the nobles hurriedly scooped a bowl and drank it in a big gulp.

Who knew that one bite would be on the head. Nima, what's the smell of swill? It's still rancid......

"How's it going, how does it taste?" Zhu Yuanzhang was still there to ask.

The nobles couldn't swallow it, they didn't dare to vomit, and they were so anxious that their faces were red, so they had to raise their thumbs one after another, endure the nausea and praise and support.

"Can't swallow it, can you?" Zhu Yuanzhang pierced them mercilessly.

Everyone quickly shook their heads, and then swallowed forcefully, but some people still couldn't help it, and they vomited......

Like an infection, more than a dozen people vomited on the spot, and quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, explaining that they had drunk too much at noon and had gastrointestinal discomfort......

"You have eaten too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you can't eat the home-cooked meals of this common people, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered:

"I don't believe you can just call a common person to ask, how many families can have four dishes and one soup at home? Think about it again, when you ate bran at home, you can eat such a meal, thank God? ”

"Yes, yes......" The ministers nodded hurriedly yes, knowing that Boss Zhu was going to use the topic to play again.

"As a result, it's only been a few years? Just forget about Ben completely! One by one, they spend all day drinking, extravagance and waste, and they talk about pomp and circumstance in the competition. ”

"I heard that a few years ago, two hundred sheep, one hundred pigs, thousands of chickens, ducks and geese entered the Deqing Hou Mansion, as well as dozens of truckloads of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liao Yongzhong with a smile.

"Go back, go back to the top, it's all the old brothers under the original group of filial piety, this one gives a little, that one gives a little," Liao Yongzhong quickly got up and said embarrassedly: "And they all have return gifts, so in the end there are not so many." ”

"Oh, so we've wronged you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly.

"No, no." Liao Yongzhong hurriedly shook his head, his face was black and red, and he said to himself: "It is indeed a lot of waste, and it will definitely be changed in the future." ”

"Yes, if you want to change, you have to change!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and said to everyone: "Not only Deqinghou, but also all of you, think about it, why did we rebel back then, weren't we forced to live by those corrupt officials who looted the people's fat and cream?" ”

"Why do corrupt officials and corrupt officials loot the people's fat and people's ointment! Because they can't fill their desires, they can't maintain luxury without looting! Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and said loudly:

"We are all from poor backgrounds who have eaten the last meal but not the next, do we also have to learn from the princes and nobles, corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Mengyuan? It won't take a few years, and the Ming Dynasty will take the old road of the Yuan Dynasty again! ”

"Can't learn." The ministers hurriedly expressed their positions.

"Therefore, let's set a rule today, regardless of public and private banquets in the future, no more than four dishes and one soup. Just enough to eat, and if you have more, it's all fed to pigs. Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly:

"In this way, we can also remind everyone from time to time that we must restrain ourselves in all aspects, don't let selfish desires ruin ourselves, let alone ruin our Ming Dynasty!"

"Ministers, follow the teachings of the superiors!" The ministers complained bitterly in their hearts, and they had to honestly kneel down and say yes.

"Alright, let's all get up. This is the New Year's Day, let's stop at the point. Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his temper, raised his glass and said, "Come on, drink!" ”

"!" Zhongxungui hurriedly picked up the wine glass, raised his head and poured it, fortunately, the wine was fine......

Then drink more alcohol and eat less food.

Xu Da and the others tried to toast to the upper position, and when they saw that Zhu Yuanzhang did not refuse, and took the initiative to start a family routine with them, they knew that the storm had passed.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became normal.

The nobles pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and they also began to toast each other and whisper to each other.

Seeing them cup after cup, like drinking water, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but say: "They can all drink like this." ”

"Of course, it doesn't depend on what they do. And this is just after being trained, and they are all restrained. The fifth brother whispered: "Usually they take a big bowl to drink, drink until they are happy, and directly hold the jar and pour ......"

"Then Deqinghou is drunk to the head, right?" Zhu Zhen looked at Liao Yongzhong opposite.

Zhu Hu looked up and saw that Liao Yongzhong was already holding the jar and pouring it......

"It's bad," he said, "this thing is drunk, it's going to be drunk!" ”
