When Emperor Hongwen makes a decision every time he makes the decision next time, it always happens.

The ministers will never be allowed to protest.

He announced his retreat.

The ministers knelt down and rested.

Then, he held his son's hand, and the father and son left.

It was not until he entered the imperial study that the child couldn't help asking: "Father, what does it mean to be an imperial commander in person?"

He looked kind and sat on the dragon couch with his son: "Hong'er, the emperor personally led the army to fight and boost morale on the front line."

"But, Father, why do you want to fight yourself?"

"Because, the emperors of our northern kingdom all conquered the world on horseback. Grandpa Taizu was like this back then, and every emperor later was like this. When Grandpa was the late emperor, he fought south and north. Grandpa Taizu was the late emperor.

In power for 28 years, at least 10 years, they fought in the south and north. Especially in the first ten years of ascending the throne, they were rarely in the palace."

"Well, won't you not see Grandpa the late emperor for a long time?"

"Yes. Before I was 10 years old, I rarely saw Grandpa of the late emperor. Grandpa of the late emperor hugged me the first time I remember when I was 6 years old..."

The child was even more curious: "Then, are you not close to Grandpa of the late emperor?"

Emperor Hongwen laughed.

Close!

How many children of the royal family may be close to the father and emperor?

He remembered his other princes and princesses - the rich emperors of all directions and children. In essence, he regarded everything as the obligation of the country and his own obligations.

Even if you favor a concubine, how to arrange for a bedtime, and when OOXX... have basic procedures and rules, rather than just doing whatever you want, expressing strong emotions and enthusiasm.

There is no emotion for the subject.

What's more, it's an accessory.

The child was very worried and kept asking: "Father, you are in charge of the army. Do you have to go for a long time?"

He saw the child's anxiety.

The child had just returned to Pingcheng, and the empress dowager did not live with her, and the father was about to leave again. How could a little child bear it?

He gently touched the child's head and smiled, "Father, go and go quickly. Maybe, he will be back in a few months."

"But, Hong'er... Hong'er doesn't want you to leave..."

"Hong'er, beloved. Look, this is the imperial study room, the place where the emperor handles the memorials. The father will have to leave for a while. These days, he will teach you something."

The child was still uneasy: "But if you leave..."

Emperor Hongwen laughed, "If the father left, there will be the empress dowager."

"But the Queen Mother lives so far..."

The child suddenly felt a little aggrieved and pouted, looking very uncomfortable: "Hong'er can only meet the Queen Mother when she pays her respects every day..."

"Silly child. The Queen Mother just came back and she was in poor health. She had to rest for some time. When the father left, the Queen Mother would of course come out to take care of Hong'er. Will the Queen Mother ignore you?"

The child's eyes lit up: "Father, Hong'er hopes to move to the Empress Dowager's palace, okay?"

Emperor Hongwen was really happy and laughed: "Silly child, how could the emperor stay in the Empress Dowager's bedroom? Isn't this a mess of the rules?"

"Then, Father, please let the Empress Dowager live in the main hall?"

Emperor Hongwen did not speak for a moment.

The main hall was originally hers—

It was given to her by the father.

When I ascended the throne, did I never long for her to live in?

I missed it after all.

Fortunately, at this time, the owner of the main hall was replaced by her son.

He sighed softly: "Hong'er, don't worry, the Queen Mother will accompany you in the Protective Hall. Only in this way can she take good care of you."

The child was overjoyed: "When will the Queen Mother live here?"

"When my father goes to war, she will come."

...

On this day, Emperor Hongwen tried his best to explain the affairs of the government to his son in an easy-to-understand manner, especially some Xianbei ministers. He told him who could believe and who should be slightly alienated.

The child listens meticulously.

Especially he mentioned that several Taifu arranged for the children. How should Li Chong be appointed and King Dongyang and others be appointed?

During the period before he went to war, he had decided to temporarily stop the teaching of the Taifu, and all the courses would be explained to his son himself.

Even lunch is used in the Imperial Study Room.

It was not until dusk that the father and son went out.

The child seemed to realize something, did not complain at all, studied very seriously, and did not even mention playing. He remembered everything his father said seriously. If he couldn't understand, he would ask.

After all, it was a night of intoxication with spring breeze.

The air is so fresh, and the sunset is so bright.

As soon as he went out, the child jumped and said, "Father, are we going to pay tribute to the Queen Mother?"

Emperor Hongwen smiled and said, "Let's go."

The father and son came to the Empress Dowager's bedroom together.

The surroundings are quiet.

The palace maids are cautious in their words and actions.

There are no idle people coming and going in and out.

Empress Dowager Feng is here, but she almost never goes out of the door.

Also burn incense and worship Buddha, or recite some Lotus Sutra or the like.

She felt unprecedentedly pure.

I could only hear my son's voice from afar, and I missed him happily: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Hong'er is here..."

Full of infinite vitality.

She came out of the inner room.

Seeing her son running, he didn't look like a little emperor anymore. As soon as he entered the door, he hugged her and was extremely intimate: "Empress Dowager, I'm hungry, so hungry..."

She held her son's hand with a smile and saw Emperor Hongwen being opposite.

The face also had that kind of calm smile.

Warm and harmonious.

She spoke casually: "I have asked someone to prepare the meal. It's time to have a meal."

Emperor Hongwen looked at her softly.

At this time, she was wearing a very comfortable casual dress. The colors were not strong or dark, just right. These days, she did not care about politics and lived in simplicity, just like an ordinary woman.

Waiting for my husband and son to return at home, I cook some specialties in my spare time.

Or, prepare them a cup of fragrant hot tea.

Emperor Hongwen suddenly felt very happy.

That is a real happiness in emotional communication.

It seemed as if the distance between me and her had never been so close - no longer had any defense; no warning, no warning, no warning, no attack on each other.

Just like those years in their 20s.

Beautiful and simple.

Just like her smiling face back then, those young and stupid words.

He sat down at the imperial dining table, just like the male owner.

At this time, she and her son were sitting next to them.

One left and one right.

There is no distinction, just like an ordinary family.

The palace servants blocked all the palace servants, but he stood up and served the rice for her and her son. He was very happy: "Hong'er, look, the Queen Mother prepared all the dishes you like tonight, so you should eat more."

The child was very happy: "Mrs. Queen Mother, will I come here to have dinner every night from now on?"

Emperor Hongwen immediately replied on her behalf: "Of course. Hong'er, from now on, you will still have dinner with the Queen Mother."

Of course there are doubts in my heart.
