There was a burst of joy in the entire Yingtian Mansion and the palace.
"God opens your eyes, it's raining, there's hope."
"Oh, it has been dry for several months and it finally rains."
"Our crops can be saved."
It didn't stop raining until morning.
The "squeaking" sound was like a hole being poked in the sky.
Zhu Bai was completely unaware of the commotion last night. He had three layers inside and three layers outside, dressed like a ball.
I don’t know if wearing it so thickly will make it less painful when spanked.
He muttered to himself.
From a distance, he saw Concubine Hu Shun waiting for him by the roadside again.
In fact, in the past few days, because he returned to the palace after dark, Concubine Hu Shun could not wait for him in the afternoon, so she came to wait for him every morning.
If he got up at the end of the year, she must have gotten up earlier.
I got up early in the cold weather just to take a look at him.
It rained heavily today and half of her clothes were wet.
Zhu Bai didn't know why, but he remembered the time when he went to the university to register.
On the train platform, his mother kept smiling and telling him not to worry about studying at home, but when the train left, she suddenly covered her mouth and cried very sadly.
All mothers in the world are the same.
Zhu Bai secretly whispered to her: "Don't wait here tomorrow, it's cold."
Concubine Hu Shun's eyes turned red and she nodded: "Your Highness, please wear more clothes, it's cold. Don't be naughty and don't make your father angry."
All morning his mind was occupied with Concubine Hu Shun and his mother over there, and he didn't listen to anything the master said.
I heard the sound of bells and drums over there, indicating that the court had dispersed.
Then Erhu ran all the way into the main hall, saluted Zhu Bai, and said with a slight breath: "Your Highness, the emperor has asked you to go to the imperial study room."
Zhu Bai smiled bitterly: Are you so anxious to spank me without waiting for the day to be over?
When he went in later, he knelt down and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's legs, begging him to let him go.
The plan was good, but as soon as his knees hit the ground and before he started howling, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed him by the shoulders and lifted him up.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of joy: "Ha, Twelve, you are really my eldest son."
"Ang?" Zhu Bai stared at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock.
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Yesterday you said that I would be very lucky today. The world has been experiencing a drought for so long, and it finally rained today. Isn't it my great joy to encounter cold rain after a long drought? Not only Yingtian Mansion, but also all the government offices in the long-term drought are rushing to deliver letters.
I came to report the good news that it has rained. Finally, those bitter scholars no longer forced me to issue an imperial edict asking for rain. I am very happy, very happy."
Zhu Bai looked confused: Throw it away, is that okay?!
Just as he was talking, Erhu led an official in, saying that officials from Guangdong Province were bringing the purchased goods from France.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood: "Okay, double happiness comes to my door, please present it."
The guards came in carrying several large boxes, containing everything.
The telescope that Zhu Bai and Zhu Yuanzhang asked for last time is also in it.
Zhu Bai's little heart, which was so frightened by great joy and sorrow that it almost stopped beating, was instantly soothed by the telescope.
"This is a good thing."
Then the princes each came to get a telescope and left. They were all very happy and came to pat Zhu Bai on the shoulder: "The twelfth brother's calculation is indeed accurate."
"It's really a stroke of luck. We are all very happy today."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Bai more and more like looking at a fragrant roast chicken, with admiration and greed: "Old Twelve is really talented and smart. From tomorrow on, you and your elder brother will come to the imperial study to read the memorial. If you have any decision
If not, you can tell the fortune and decide."
Zhu Bai was horrified: "Ah...this...isn't good. I don't have the ability."
You can still fool people about trivial matters. How can you talk nonsense about such a major national matter?
If the decision is wrong, not one or two people will die, but many, many people will die, and the country may even be destroyed.
When the time comes, the ministers will treat him as a traitor who deceives the public with his lies, cut him into pieces, and boil him into sauce.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "My son, there is no need to be humble. I am the emperor. If I say you can do it, you can do it."
Zhu Bai's hands and feet were cold.
There is a kind of injury called killing by flattery.
His biological father Zhu Yuanzhang is doing this.
And it wasn't just this that scared him.
He also realized that he had been fooled by a mistake, but Liu Bowen had calculated that he would be entrusted with an important task today.
Does this old man really have magical powers?
----
Lao Zhu has always acted vigorously and resolutely, and he will never wait until the ugly moment to get things done well.
In the morning, Zhu Bai was ordered to squat in the study room, and at noon, he asked someone to set up a small chair for Zhu Bai next to Zhu Biao's desk.
When Zhu Bai first sat down, he was very frightened.
If Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to predict when the rain would stop.
How did he make it up?
But after sitting for a while, he realized that he was worrying too much.
Because there is nothing that Zhu Yuanzhang cannot decide.
The so-called inability to make a decision means that he made the decision and Zhu Biao disagreed.
Such as killing people.
He wanted to kill this one, but Zhu Biao didn't agree; he wanted to kill that one, but Zhu Biao didn't agree.
Then Zhu Biao persuaded him earnestly for half an hour.
Lao Zhu was annoyed and waved his hand: Forget it, I won't kill him. Let this bastard live for a few more days.
The two of them quarreled and quarreled over and over again about the same things: money, food, taxes, appointments and exemptions, rewards and punishments.
Zhu Bai was so bored after listening to it that he didn't sleep well all night. He was so sleepy now that he didn't dare to sleep.
He covered his mouth and yawned, quietly holding the telescope and looking out the door.
Although it is the simplest monocular telescope, its magnification is only six to eight times, which is enough for observation.
He looked at the delicate faces of the palace ladies.
Hiss, beautiful.
Sure enough, there are three thousand beauties, each with a pointed or round face has its own charm.
Looking down the face, you can see the towering peaks with uneven shapes.
Tsk tsk, I have a good figure, but I wear too much.
Go to the side.
An old face with a beard suddenly occupied all eyes.
Damn it, Liu Bowen!
Scared me!
Zhu Bai's hand shook and he almost threw away the telescope. He put down his hand and patted his chest.
Liu Bowen came in and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai stood up and saluted Liu Bowen: "Master Liu."
"Master Liu has a clever plan and taught the twelve children well. He will be rewarded." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled gently, but it always made Zhu Bai feel that he had hidden murderous intentions.
The eunuch brought up a small piece of silver, only about five taels.
Shameful, really shabby.
Zhu Bai smacked his lips secretly.
It's just that it's unprecedented here at Lao Zhu.
On weekdays, Lao Zhu would give a reward of ten coins and ten coins.
Liu Bowen didn't answer, but he knelt down with a look of fear on his face: "I don't dare, please tell me if your Majesty has something to do."
He understood Lao Zhu's urine properties very well.
Lao Zhu has always been a master who pays one tael of silver and expects to receive ten taels of silver in return.
At this moment, he was suddenly rewarded with five taels of silver. He didn't know what immoral thing he was going to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Liu, the fourth child is also of marriageable age. I think the eldest daughter of Xu Da's family is good. I want you to give them a horoscope."
Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai looked at Liu Bowen together.
