Xia Xun knelt outside Jinshen Hall, and everything was quiet. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang admired him somewhat, but after this incident, for a business-oriented boss like Zhu Yuanzhang, his image in his heart
It will definitely plummet. Even if he doesn't punish himself this time, as long as he is here, it will be difficult for him to make any progress in his official career.
But he doesn't regret it. In his previous life, he actually wanted to make progress. He was able to maintain excellent grades in the entire police academy and agreed without hesitation when choosing an undercover agent. Of course, it was to have better qualifications to pursue a career.
, doesn’t he want to achieve great things? But after this era, many things that he valued before are no longer important.
In this world, he is a rootless duckweed. He needs a sense of belonging. These are things that status and power cannot give him. What he longs for is not status, power, and money, but family affection, relatives, and the destination of his soul.
His ultimate pursuit goal. He didn't care whether Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor whose words could make people live or die, would be disappointed. He didn't care whether Luo Qianshi, who favored him very much, would be disappointed. He just wanted to pursue what he wanted.
something to pursue.
"Hey, were you beaten by my father?"
Xia Xun was at a loss for what to do when a milky voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was the little princess of Anqing. Standing next to her was Princess Ming'er, who looked concerned.
Xia Xun said with a bitter face: "Yes, I was beaten five times."
Feng Xianguan was sent by the emperor to enforce the law for the emperor. If he was beaten by him, he was naturally beaten by the emperor.
When the little princess of Anqing heard this, her face was filled with disappointment. She turned to Ming'er and said, "Sister, we are late, he has already been beaten."
Xia Xun was startled when he heard this: "Why are they two here?"
Ming'er touched Princess Anqing's head and whispered to Xia Xun: "What's wrong? Because you came late to the court, are you being taught a lesson by the emperor?"
Xia Xun shook his head and said, "How can it be that simple?"
He went to Jinshen Hall and briefly told Xu Ming'er about his affairs. Xu Ming'er frowned her delicate eyebrows and said: "It's so messy. I heard why it's so troublesome. She likes you, then you two will come to her to get married."
That's fine, why is her brother so cruel and wants to take her away?"
Xia Xun spread his hands and sighed: "It's hard to explain... The princess is still young, there are some things that you will naturally understand when you grow up."
Princess Anqing sucked her fingers and listened for a long time, then she suddenly jumped up and said, "Hey, can you be beaten by my father again?"
Xia Xun was startled and said hurriedly: "Why, Your Highness the Princess?"
The little princess said confidently: "Because I didn't arrive just now."
Xia Xun couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Hitting the board...it hurts."
"That's it..."
The little princess told him with a look of regret: "Then next time you are spanked by my father, remember to tell me first so that I can come."
Xia Xun couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Okay, okay, definitely, definitely, His Highness's order, Yang Xu... has taken note of it."
Xu Ming'er glanced at Xia Xun and whispered: "Just wait, I'll go in and see what happens. Maybe I can help you get a day off."
Xia Xun was overjoyed and said gratefully: "The princess has been so kind and kind. She has helped Yang Xu again and again. Even if Yang Xu was broken into pieces, there was nothing he could do in return. The only thing he could do was..."
Xu Ming'er covered her mouth and smiled and said: "It's done, it sounds disgusting, your deceptive mouth, whoever takes it seriously will be unlucky."
She took the hand of the little princess of Anqing and walked into Jinshen Hall...
"Yes, Uncle Huang, I met Miss Peng when I was in Peking. They were together at that time. Miss Peng liked him very much. Speaking of which, Yang Xu also helped Uncle Huang. Huang
Why don't you accomplish this and spread the word? It would be a beautiful thing."
Zhu Yuanzhang moved his daughter's little hand that was playing with his beard, took off the jade pendant from his waist and gave it to her to play with. He glared at Xu Ming'er and said, "Humph! Do you think I am Yuelao? I am still meddling in those nosy things. He is my minister.
, It is only natural to eat the king's salary and share the king's worries. I still want to be grateful for his kindness? For the sake of a woman, he dares to delay my morning court. What is the use of such guards? I will be with his wife in the future.
Even though we were in danger, he still didn't leave me and went to save his wife? For a woman, a worthless thing, it's a good thing that I still appreciate him quite a lot!"
"Woman? What's wrong with the woman?"
Xu Ming'er blinked and said: "Uncle Huang is sitting firmly in the palace, everything is stable, and there is no real danger. But his wife is about to be taken away, and the labor and Yan are separated, and the mountains and rivers are far apart. If he is now
Still unwilling to stay, he was still busy running to the palace to stand guard for the emperor. Uncle Huang, do you think this person is an official obsessed with profit? Anyone can bribe such a person as long as he is given enough benefits.
He's a man who doesn't care about love or justice, can the emperor feel at ease when he uses him?"
"this……"
Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss for words, so he had to rely on his old advice: "Little girl, what do you know? A man only worries about his fame and fame, so why worry about not having a wife? What great future can a man who loves his children have for his elders?"
Xu Ming'er was so well-behaved and clever. She immediately caught his words and curled her lips with feigned disdain: "Ming'er doesn't agree with what the emperor said. A man who is upright and upright also has the love of his children."
Zhu Yuanzhang hummed: "Is there such a person? Let me tell you about it. If it makes sense, I will... I will obey you little girl and let him go."
Xu Ming'er's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning pride, and she said with a sweet smile: "Of course there is, him. With a commoner from Huaiyou, he conquered the world with his bare hands, restored the Han people, and rescued the fourth-class Han slaves from the iron heel of the people.
; He banned Mongolian clothing, restored Han people's clothing, promoted Confucianism, frivolous corvee and low taxes, restrained diligence and frugality, severely punished corrupt officials, and cherished the people. Regardless of whether others feared or respected him, slandered or praised him, his achievements are destined to shine through the ages.
, who is recorded in history, he is the Hongwu Emperor, the founder of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled at first, then laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you stinky girl, in order to excuse the boy named Yang, you flatter me like this. Hahaha, the world says that I am ruthless and have bloody hands.
Who said that our children have grown in love? It made me laugh to death, hahahaha..."
Xu Ming'er stared into his eyes and said softly: "The sixth palace has no owner, why doesn't the emperor appoint a queen?"
With just these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter stopped abruptly. He stared at Xu Ming'er and murmured, "Why not establish a queen? Why...not establish a queen?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly became excited: "Why not establish a queen? Because... because there is only one person in heaven and on earth, only one person is worthy of being my queen! There is only one person... Xiuying, Xiuying, she abandoned me
...Abandoned me for a long time..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's lips trembled slightly. This decisive and ruthless hero actually shed two lines of old muddy tears.
Xu Ming'er didn't expect his reaction to be so strong. She couldn't help being secretly surprised, and quickly bowed down in the tunnel and said: "If Ming'er touches the emperor's sad things, you will die!"
Queen Ma, Ma Xiuying, is Zhu Yuanzhang's first wife.
She is not beautiful, but she is the only woman whom Zhu Yuanzhang, a man who can have all the beauties in the world, respects and loves deeply.
Regardless of life or death, she would never leave Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous of Guo Zixing. When he was in custody, she secretly brought him food. Because she was caught by her adoptive father Guo Zixing, she had to put the freshly baked buns in her arms.
In order to avoid being discovered by her adoptive father, her chest was burned to death. When Zhu Yuanzhang fought with Chen Youliang and was seriously injured and defeated, she was the one who carried her husband on her back and escaped.
She gave Zhu Yuanzhang countless help, but never asked for anything from him. After experiencing so many hardships since childhood, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart has long been ground like stone, no matter how embarrassing the environment is, no matter how desperate the situation is.
, he never cried, because he knew that tears could not solve any problems, but when his queen passed away, he cried loudly and burst into tears, because only crying could vent the endless reluctance and sadness in his heart.
Live like summer flowers and die like winter snow.
She was the woman that Zhu Yuanzhang respected and loved most in his life. During her illness, Zhu Yuanzhang personally brought her water and gave her medicine. After Empress Ma died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been frugal and not extravagant, used the most solemn etiquette to bury his deceased wife. In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness
, he explained his funeral affairs, and in order not to disturb the people, he specifically proposed three days of national mourning. However, he conducted the funeral for his deceased wife, but all officials, both internal and external, followed the system of changing the day and the month, and divided the country on the twenty-seventh day. Compared with himself
An extra twenty-four days.
The rain fell, the sky wept, and the thundering ground mourned. All the Buddhists in the West sent Ma Tathagata together. Who said Zhu Yuanzhang had no emotion? For a person like him who is not easily emotional, once he does become emotional, it will be equally deep and fierce.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for a long time. When he saw Xu Ming'er kneeling in front of him with a nervous look on his face, he wiped his tears, smiled and said: "I think of Xiuying, and my heart feels uncomfortable. What crime do you have, get up."
He let out a long sigh and said sadly: "It has been fifteen years since Xiuying left me. Maybe... it won't be long before I go to accompany her..."
Xu Ming'er was secretly surprised. She was born in a princely family, and her emotional intelligence may not be so developed, and she may not be so sophisticated in world affairs, but she has been exposed to the affairs of the palace and court since she was a child. The emperor himself could express such emotion, but she did not dare to answer the question casually.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at her again, smiled calmly, and said: "The Queen has always been kind and kind. If she were here, she would definitely persuade me about today's matter. That's all, I will spare him this time."
Xu Ming'er said happily: "Uncle Huang, you kindly allowed him to resign and go to Qingzhou."
"It's not that easy." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious face: "Those who deserve to be punished will still be punished."
Xu Ming'er said worriedly: "How does the emperor want to punish him?"
Princess Anqing clapped her hands in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and said: "Spank his ass! Span his ass! I want him to be spanked!"
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a joking smile in his eyes, put his old face like dry tree bark against his daughter's smooth face, and said with a smile: "Okay, then spank him, spank him five times, and my little Anqing will be responsible for the spanking."
