Zhu Jianshen chuckled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to talk about political affairs, drink tea, drink tea." ”

"Ah, yes." Li Hong took a sip of the teacup, but saw that his uncle's eyes kept wandering over him, as if he was looking for something, and he only felt uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, are firearms, arrows and other equipment ready?" Li Hong tried to talk about something serious, but he really couldn't stand the eyes of his eldest brother.

I always feel ...... The other party has a bad intention.

"Don't worry, I'll send it to you soon, it's only a lot more in terms of quantity." Zhu Jian nodded with a deep smile, "How does this tea taste?" ”

It's not as good as what I drink at home, you have lost your original taste after long-distance transportation...... Li Hong sneered and said with a smile: "Excellent, it's the first time that Weichen has drunk such a good product." ”

"Come on, prepare ten catties for Li Aiqing."

“…… The emperor summoned his ministers, what is the matter? Li Hong couldn't stand it, this is too abnormal, the relationship between the two has not reached this point.

Zhu Jianshen smiled but did not speak.

Li Hong was even more worried: No, can you be more happy, let me fight, let me train, in short, give me a task, don't smile at me, okay?

"The Emperor's ......"

"Drink tea."

“…… Ay. Li Hong smiled and agreed, and lived like a year.

During this period, he wanted to say something several times, but every time he looked up, he saw his eldest brother staring at him with a smile on his face.

Hair-......

I don't know how long later, the wine and delicacies came up and set a full table.

Zhu Jianshen finally stopped smiling, waved away the slaves and maids who were waiting on the left and right, and poured him wine in person.

Li Hong was stunned, he felt ...... I'm afraid I won't live long!

The hand holding the glass was trembling.

I'm afraid it's not poisonous!

"Drink!" Zhu Jianshen urged.

No, what crime did I commit...... Li Hong put down his wine glass and said sadly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is dedicated to the country and works dili......gently."

"I understand."

Zhu Jian nodded with a deep smile and raised his glass: "Come, drink this glass of wine first." ”

I said you drank it too...... Li Hong's mood eased slightly, and he sneered: "Respect the emperor." ”

After drinking all the wine in the cup in one gulp, Li Hong smacked his mouth, did not taste any peculiar smell, and there was no discomfort in his stomach, and the anxiety in his heart was finally relaxed.

There were only two of them in the hall, and Li Hong simply no longer cared about anything, and said bluntly:

"I don't know what arrangements the emperor has for summoning his ministers to Beijing?"

If he doesn't ask why, he's going crazy.

"Then I'll be straight to the point."

You should have said it bluntly...... Li Hong arched his hand and said: "The emperor said bluntly. ”

Zhu Jianshen seemed a little embarrassed, he rubbed his hands for a while before he spoke:

"Sister-in-law, my brother asked you something."

Li Hong: (⊙o⊙)...

The brain is buzzing......

It is undeniable that the two have this relationship, but Zhu Jianshen is the emperor, how can an emperor have a relationship with other people's brothers...... He Li Hong is not surnamed Zhu!

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law......"

"Huh? Oh, the emperor still calls the name of the minister. Li Hong smiled bitterly, "Weichen really can't afford it...... Your Majesty, please ask. ”

Zhu Jian sighed deeply and said, "Then I will say it directly, I ask you, are the two Yongqing Marquis of the Ming Dynasty your godfather?" ”

"Huh?" Li Hong was stunned at first, and then his color changed dramatically.

Zhu Jianshen said: "After you think about it, don't bully the king!" ”

Li Hong's heart shook wildly: How did the emperor know, what should I do now?

Looking at his posture, it is obvious that he is coveting the temptation of immortality...... This, how can this be good?

Li Hong was completely unprepared, he never expected that the emperor would call him here for this matter.

"Do you want to hide it from me?" Zhu Jianshen frowned slightly, his face full of displeasure: "Tell the truth! ”

Li Hong froze and arched his hand: "The emperor doesn't understand what Weichen said. ”

"Then I will tell you clearly." Zhu Jianshen said, "Your godfather Li Qing, has you lived from the Hongwu Dynasty to the present?" ”

Li Hong's head is big.

There is no escaping such a straightforward question, and the emperor is obviously ready to break the casserole and ask to the end, otherwise, the forward swing would not be so long.

"This ...... This is really incredible, why does the emperor think like this? Li Hong didn't dare to tell the truth.

The emperors of previous dynasties have pursued immortality beyond the ordinary, not only mediocre, but also saintly, but I have to say that the profession of emperor is not suitable for the pursuit of such vain things at all.

However, Zhu Jianshen has this idea, which is reasonable.

For example, Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and Tang Sect were all very enthusiastic about immortality, which shows the temptation of immortality.

"You're not honest." Zhu Jianshen didn't hear what he wanted to hear, and his face sank.

Li Hong is planning to carry it to the end, saying that he can't let the Ming Emperor embark on the road of cultivating immortals, looking at the eldest brother Yuji for more than ten years, he has never been confused in major matters, and his political achievements are also remarkable.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the last sentence is wise and martial.

But once you get involved in cultivating immortals, no one can guarantee whether you can maintain your original intention.

No matter what, I am also a relative of the emperor, as the only son-in-law of the emperor, can the emperor really cut me...... Li Hong made up his mind.

Said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't you think this is ridiculous? ”

"It's ridiculous, but it's even more ridiculous." Zhu Jianshen said lightly, "I just want to hear the truth from you, don't make mistakes." ”

"The minister does not believe that anyone can live forever." Li Hong shook his head and said: "As strong as the first emperor Qin Yingzheng, he can't seek immortality, which is enough to prove that this is an ethereal legend, why does the emperor think that my godfather can live forever?" ”

"Facts, facts that I saw with my own eyes." Zhu Jian sighed deeply, "Actually, you know, you just don't want to tell me the truth, I'm afraid that I will be bad for your godfather, right?"

Rest assured, never! ”

After a pause, he added: "Don't forget, you are eating the Zhu family's food, and the food of the king is worried about the king, and I want you to tell the truth;

You say, are the two Yongqing Marquis the same person? ”

"It's not!" Li Hong replied simply.

Zhu Jianshen smiled angrily: "In your heart, your godfather is more important than me, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, what the minister said is true." Li Hong said stubbornly.

"Huh...... Those people in the temple can be settled, do you think I will not be able to see it, are you lying? Zhu Jianshen sneered, "You, you're still a little tender." ”

Although Li Hong is a little older than Zhu Jianshen, there is nothing wrong with this, in terms of scheming, Li Hong is not as good as Zhu Jianshen, far more!

"I'll give you one last chance, and to be honest, I'm not to blame."

Li Hong still insisted: "What the minister said is true. ”

"Do you really think I won't dare to ask you for sin?" Zhu saw that he was deeply angry, and snorted: "If I want to take care of you, even the emperor can't protect it." ”

Facing the emperor's eldest brother, who turned his face faster than a book, Li Hong had no choice but to be helpless, and sighed:

"The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die; But before that, can the emperor allow his ministers to say a few more words? ”

"Oh, let's talk!" Zhu Jian leaned on the back of the chair, playing with the empty wine glass, and his scrutinizing gaze was strongly aggressive, which made Li Hong feel a lot of pressure.

Li Hong pondered the wording and asked, "Does the emperor know my godfather?" ”

"Don't try to guide me, just say your own opinion, I have my own judgment."

"Uh... Be. ”

Li Hong has one head and two big.

The eldest brother is too difficult to fool, and I am afraid that only the wife can wrestle with him, and he may not be able to win.

After being silent for a while, Li Hong spoke: "Godfather, he is not formal, but in his bones he is dedicated to the country and the people; gòйЪ.ōΓg

It is his life pursuit to let Daming flourish and let the people live a good life, otherwise, with his lazy nature, he would have traveled the world long ago. ”

After a pause, seeing that the emperor still did not mean to express his opinion, Li Hong had no choice but to continue:

"Taizu and Taizong, they are all immortal saints and lords, forgive the ministers for being rude, if my godfather really has that ability, Taizu and Taizong will not collapse, my godfather has a loose personality and can relax, he will not find trouble for himself."

Zhu Jianshen frowned, but still didn't speak.

Li Hong had to continue to express his opinion: "If my godfather can really live forever, Taizu and Taizong are as wise as a torch, and it is impossible not to be unaware, but they have no abnormal behavior, which is very revealing." ”

"That doesn't mean anything." Zhu Jianshen spoke, but his expression was full of disappointment: "I can only say...... There is a high probability that his immortality cannot be replicated. ”

He sighed and said, "I think that before Taizu and Taizong left, they were strictly tested, and Li Qing passed the test, and the facts also proved that Taizu Taizong didn't look away." ”

Li Hong listened to him say this, and relaxed a little.

"Perhaps, but the minister himself doesn't believe it, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, if there are really immortal people...... Li Hong sighed, "I'm afraid is not a blessing or a curse, there is nothing to envy." ”

"Immortality is not enviable?"

Li Hong's eyes were lowered, and he said faintly: "Seeing my relatives and friends leave one by one, but I can't do anything, I have tasted the pain of parting, and the last person sits and watches the world, no one tells my heart, that kind of extreme loneliness and loneliness......"

Sensing the gaffe, Li Hong hurriedly restrained his emotions and changed his words: "The emperor has been in power for more than ten years, and his political achievements are remarkable, and he is also an unborn monarch;

Under your governance, the Ming Dynasty flourished, passed on to the successor after thousands of generations, worthy of the ancestors, under the shade and descendants, the Ming Dynasty is immortal, the emperor's name is in the annals of glorious history, and it is better to live forever!?

Why do you need to pursue that vain art of immortality......"

Zhu Jianshen was silent.

After a long time, he laughed and said, "You still taught me a lesson." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare." Li Hong hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Jianshen sighed lightly: "Therefore, Li Qing has lived from the Hongwu Dynasty to the present, but he can't let others be like him, alas, this guy ......"

"The Emperor's ......"

"I am the Son of Heaven, and I will carry the emperor in heaven, and it will not be your turn to preach." Zhu Jianshen said lightly, "I gave you several chances, but you still insisted on going your own way, disappointing me!" ”

Zhu Jianshen said coldly: "Soon, the smuggling caravan will be cleared, whether you will be punished for the crime or the two crimes, it depends on your performance." ”

"Obey." Li Honggong said yes.

Zhu Jianshen sighed secretly: Li Qing's daring is passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors, no wonder he is so perverted, this is all reasonable, but this guy is really too hard......
