Although Liu Sanwu is old-fashioned on matters of principle, he is also well versed in the way of being an official.

Once, Liu Sanwu accompanied Emperor Hongwu for fishing and recreation.

Unfortunately, Emperor Hongwu fished for yellow eels, and Liu Sanwu fished for carp. Emperor Hongwu's face was full of displeasure, and he said lukewarmly: "Tantanong, why do you fish for carp and let's fish for yellow eel?" It seems that you are a cut above us! ”

Liu Sanwu hurriedly said: "The son of the Holy Heaven only fishes dragons, and the courtiers fish carp and jump the dragon gate." The carp accompanies the national fortune of Longchang, and there must be virtuous ministers and auxiliary Mingjun. ”

Of course, this is just a folk tale.

But this also shows the wisdom of Liu Sanwu as a courtier, otherwise he would not have been able to hold a high position by the side of Emperor Hongwu for more than ten years, and it was not until the later major case of the North and South List that he was assigned to the northwest border.

He just bowed, not only because he really admired Huang Xiongying's talent, but also because of Huang Xiongying's identity as the grandson of Emperor Huang Xiongying.

Let's ask, if he were an ordinary teenager with no identity, would he Liu Sanwu?

Most likely, it won't......

Liu Sanwu's bow just now can be regarded as a return salute to him by the imperial grandson, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a message to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Compared with the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen and the fourth Zhu Di, he stands on the side of the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying!

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes, and he was naturally satisfied.

Because Liu Sanwu, who has always been the most particular about etiquette and the most rigid, and is also a representative of civil officials, did not hesitate to choose his eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying is the most suitable candidate for the position of the prince, there is no one!

This is exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang wants, because he also thinks so.

Yan Wang Zhu Di.

Before the appearance of the eldest grandson, he did not think about it.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang no longer has any doubts.

However, before officially canonizing Zhu Xiongying as the imperial grandson, he still has to do one thing, that is, to remove all the thorns on the imperial power rod and hand it over to the eldest grandson.

He would rather have blood on his hands than a trace on his grandson's hands.

He hopes that the world in the hands of his eldest grandson is a clean world, and he hopes that his eldest grandson can become a perfect Eternal Saint Monarch!

It can be said that he transferred the expectations that were originally placed on Zhu Biao to the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying......

"Big grandson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying, and the wrinkles on his face melted: "These are all things you came up with by yourself?" ”

Huang Xiongying couldn't say that this had been verified by later generations, so he nodded a little embarrassedly: "My grandson usually likes to ponder when he is fine, but he has some superficial opinions. ”

"Asami?"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled: "You are shallow, I'm afraid that it is the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, don't say if you can say it, you don't dare to say it!" ”

Huang Xiongying said with a smile: "Grandpa, you can't say that, your grandson is clothy, unlike the Manchu Dynasty, which needs to worry about so much, so it can be regarded as a mouthful." ”

"Hey!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted: "You stinky boy is still modest!" If this is all a lie, then you have to be serious? ”

Huang Xiongying: "......"

In fact, he really wanted to be humble.

Because this change of land and return to the stream was not something he came up with, but after a long period of practice and summarization in later generations, he just made a slight summary and paraphrase on the wisdom of so many people.

This set of plans for changing the land and returning it to the river has been proved by the practice of later generations to be truly feasible and effective, and it has not only promoted the economic development and social progress of the border areas, but is also an important policy for a unified multi-ethnic state to govern the border areas and to open up and consolidate its territory.

Therefore, it is normal for Liu Sanwu to not find any fault.

Huang Xiongying said with a straight face: "Grandpa, I want to ask you for a favor!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the serious Huang Xiongying and jokingly said: "Yo, I'm really serious, let's talk about it." ”

Huang Xiongying said: "I would like to ask you to present this set of plans for changing the land and returning to the river to the old emperor of Hongwu, and explain the pros and cons to the old emperor in detail, I hope that the old emperor can seriously consider and thoroughly control the problem of the southwest toast!" ”

In fact, the problem of Tusi was more serious in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court resisted Japan and aided the dynasty, and the rise of the Liaodong Jurchen, which made it impossible to take care of the southwest.

In the end, it directly led to the excessive power of Tusi, and the tail was too big, which made the last Ming Dynasty suffer from the enemy.

"Hmm."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Don't worry, kid, we will tell the old emperor truthfully!" ”

Huang Xiongying thought for a while, and then said: "Grandpa, this plan will be submitted in your name, don't mention your grandson!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned:

"Why?"

Huang Xiongying replied: "Because my grandson doesn't want to attract the attention of the imperial court for the time being." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Huang Xiongying: "But this is what you came up with, we can't swallow your credit!" ”

"That's not the case, grandpa."

Huang Xiongying shook his head: "Grandson didn't say this to ask for fame from the imperial court through his grandfather, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for this. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was still puzzled: "Then why do you want to tell us this, and why do you want us to report it to the old emperor Hongwu?" ”

Huang Xiongying thought for a while and replied: "The humble did not dare to forget the country!" I can't help the country much, but since I have met it, I want to do something! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

Good Saint Sun!

The humble did not dare to forget the country, this is a famous saying of the Song Dynasty poet Lu You, but what really moved Zhu Yuanzhang was the latter sentence.

This simple sentence is more touching than quoting scriptures.

This is a natural expression of patriotic feelings!

If everyone loves and builds this country in their own way, then this country will definitely have more vitality and hope!

"Good!"

Liu Sanwu on the side praised the case: "A good sentence can't help the country much, since I have encountered it, I want to do something!" Childe's words, let Sango obey! ”

Huang Xiongying looked at the excited Liu Sanwu: "Lord Bachelor is serious again!" ”

"Needless to say!"

Liu Sanwu shook his head solemnly, because this sentence really spoke to his heart.

Such a sense of family and country.

Even if he doesn't have the identity of the imperial grandson, the young man in front of him is worthy of his Liu Sanwu's worship.

Since ancient times, the real literati have a high spirit, even if they don't show it, they are all engraved in their bones.

After all, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

Talent may be admired by them, but that spirit will make them truly respect from the heart.

Throughout the ages, which celebrity who has really been talked about by literati and respected from the bottom of his heart, who is not mindful of his family and country, iron-clad, and would rather die than give in?

Why are the four sentences of Hengqu famous all over the world?

You don't see tens of millions of mansions in Ande, why are the poor people in the world happy from generation to generation?

You don't see the king and the king set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice has not forgotten to tell why Nai Weng is so moving?

This is the feeling of family and country!

This is the great righteousness of the nation!

This is the fundamental reason why the Chinese nation has been shaking for 5,000 years, and it is still thriving and becoming stronger and stronger!

This spirit has nourished generations after generations.

Plagues, famines, wars, the Chinese nation that has lasted for 5,000 years has experienced too much, but it is still indomitable, standing, and even stronger and stronger!

By what?

It relies on the family and country feelings inherited by the Chinese nation in their bones!

A simple and simple sentence shows how many Chinese children have an ordinary simple and incomparably deep love for this land!

Liu Sanwu finally understood at this moment why the emperor did not reveal his identity for the time being.

Because only in this way can we truly see a person's heart.

At this time, a voice broke the atmosphere: "Emperor, Prince, Bachelor, it's time to eat!" ”

It was Guo Zhen who spoke.

The food was cooked by the two Guo brothers, of course they knew that the emperor didn't like extravagance and waste, so there were not a few dishes on the table, but the craftsmanship was not bad, and it could be regarded as colorful, flavorful.

The two brothers knew that the old emperor liked to eat dog meat, and it was not often in the palace, so they went to buy a pot of dog meat and came back.

"Well, it smells good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang wrinkled his nose and grinned.

"Sit down and eat, don't be stunned!"

Zhu Yuanzhang dragged out the stool and sat down, and greeted Liu Sanwu and the Guo brothers who were standing.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the three of them nodded and sat down.

Liu Sanwu is okay, he had dinner with the emperor during the big banquet, but he only sat down and ate, how can he be at the same table, but with Liu Sanwu's temperament, it doesn't matter so much.

And the Guo brothers are nervous, how can they eat at the same table with the emperor!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he took a small dog leg and put it in Huang Xiongying's bowl: "Good grandson, eat, eat more!" ”

"Grandpa Xie!"

Huang Xiongying also sandwiched a piece of dog belly into Zhu Yuanzhang's bowl: "Grandpa, you eat it too!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, picked up the dog belly and sent it to his mouth, chewing it heavily.

After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang touched the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with his cuffs, and said with a smile:

"Incense! But it's still not as good as the dog meat in our hometown, at that time we saw the landlords eating dog meat, just smelling the saliva and wow, we thought at that time, if we can eat dog meat every day, we will not do it if we are the emperor, haha......"

Liu Sanwu: "......"

He was a poor literati, and he had never eaten such a thing as dog meat.

Since ancient times, dog meat has not been served!

However, Huang Xiongying is not so taboo, and he will also eat dog meat in later generations, in his eyes, this thing is no different from pork and beef.

It's the radical dog lovers of later generations......

But if these dog lovers are in this era, they will definitely be beaten to death!

But the Guo brothers were still stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and said, "What are you looking at?" Eat! Why is it not like your grandfather Guo Xiaosi, your grandfather used to rush to eat with us! ”

Guo Xiaosi?

Huang Xiongying was stunned, and a thin, girl-like figure appeared in his mind.

How did he know that Guo Si was Guo Ying's nickname......

"Yes, Emperor!"

Only then did the Guo brothers move their chopsticks.

Eating and eating, the two of them gradually let go, eating with a mouth full of oil, grinning and smirking.

"That's right, don't eat meat and don't drink, why be a man!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Perhaps only at this time, in the small courtyard of Huang Xiongying, will Zhu Yuanzhang remove the emperor's shell and reveal his most authentic and primitive personality......

A satisfying meal.

He felt inexplicably relaxed here, much more comfortable than in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a willow stick (a toothpick made of willow wood in ancient times) to pick his teeth, and when he looked out, he was shocked to find that the sun was about to set.

Thinking that there were still a bunch of folds in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly lifted.

"Eldest grandson, we should go back, there are still a lot of things waiting for us to deal with at home, your plan to change the land and return to the stream, we will report it to the old emperor Hongwu!"

"Then grandpa, walk slowly, pay attention to safety on the road!"

Huang Xiongying sent Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Sanwu to the gate of the hospital.

"Let's go back, let's go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the small courtyard and did not rush to get on the carriage to return to the palace, but said to Liu Sanwu:

"Tantanon, come with us."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two old men walked on the banks of the Qinhuai River, one in front of the other, and the sunset pulled the figures of the two of them to the old age.

"Tantanon, do you see that?"

"Hmm."

Liu Sanwu nodded, then frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, ...... that kid Is it really the emperor's grandson? ”

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang replied bluntly.

received the emperor's affirmative answer, and Liu Sanwu's heart was still shocked at the moment.

If the emperor says yes, then it must be!

Because of the emperor's methods, he knows that as long as he wants to investigate a person, he will definitely be able to dig out the eighteen generations of that person's ancestors.

was stunned, only to hear Zhu Yuanzhang's voice:

"Tantanon, who do you think is the best candidate for the prince now?"

"Imperial grandson, Xiongying!"

Liu Sanwu already had the answer in his heart, so he said without hesitation, just the identity of this child is enough, not to mention that this child is so smart, the most important thing is that he has an excellent heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised by Liu Sanwu's answer, stopped and looked at the flowing Qinhuai River, and after a while, he asked:

"Then do you think that if we establish Xiongying as the prince, will our children and grandchildren be convinced?"

"No!"

Liu Sanwu's answer was also straightforward.

"Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Liu Sanwu: "Didn't you say before you came that setting up the eldest grandson as the prince is in line with human ethics?" Xiongying is both the eldest grandson and the descendant, why don't you accept it? ”

Liu Sanwu replied: "Because the emperor and grandson Xiongying are resurrected from the dead, this is a very bizarre thing, if you don't see it with your own eyes, and the emperor testifies, otherwise the ministers can't believe it, for the emperor and grandson Xiongying who has been around for ten years and suddenly appeared, how can those princes and grandsons easily recognize it?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Didn't you just say that we testified?" Do they dare not believe us? ”

Liu Sanwu continued: "But if it's the emperor...... If the emperor ascends the throne, the vassal kings of all walks of life will have an excuse, and at that time, who will testify for the emperor's grandson Xiongying? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly showed a cold light, he knew that Liu Sanwu was talking about after his death.

"How dare they?"

Liu Sanwu's face did not change, and he bowed down and said: "Minister, it's just a guess, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, he looked at Qin Huaihe for a long time, and asked faintly: "Then who do you think of our princes and grandsons who is most likely to oppose?" ”

"Minister, don't dare to say anything!"

As a courtier, Liu Sanwu can say the candidate for the prince in his mind, and he can also point out the problems for the emperor to decide, but how can he comment on the prince's sons and grandsons, let alone rebel against such a big crime of extermination!

Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his gaze, looked at Liu Sanwu, and sneered: "You, I don't let you say, you want to be like a long-tongued woman, you should say everything you should say and shouldn't say, don't think we don't know!" ”

Liu Sanwu bowed his head and was silent.

He knew that there were indeed many people in the court who talked about the establishment of the prince in private, especially those Huaixi nobles.

But he didn't say that he always adhered to the duty of a courtier.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the silent Liu Sanwu with a pair of deep eyes, and continued: "This time we let you say it, you can rest assured and boldly say, there are only you and me here, we will forgive you for your innocence, and we will not take it to heart!" ”

"Minister, don't dare to say anything!"

Liu Sanwu still said the same thing.

"You're ......!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he flicked his sleeves, his face twitched slightly, and then he turned his head to look at Qin Huaihe, and said quietly for a long time:

"It's the fourth, right?"

Liu Sanwu behind him was still silent.

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly: "Even if you don't say it, we also know that the fourth child is now guarding Beiping, with many soldiers and generals, and he has repeatedly made military exploits, and he is the only one who has this ability!" ”

"But the fourth bastard is a good person, he is obedient to us, and he is also respectful to the prince, abides by his duties, and works hard to guard the frontier for the Ming Dynasty, I am not afraid to tell you, we can't find fault with the fourth child!"

"We have affection for the eldest grandson, but we can't be unrighteous to the fourth child!"

"Fourth, fourth, who made you the fourth? You're going to give us a steady tail......"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly with his hands behind his back......

Looking at the emperor's slightly rickety back, which was straight, but already uncontrollable, Liu Sanwu sighed lightly.

Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most ruthless.

Zhu Xiongying is a good seedling, if he hadn't been born in the emperor's family, he would definitely have some other achievements, but now that he is the eldest grandson of the emperor, he is destined to be unpeaceful in this life......
