Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 10 Troubleshooting
Zhu Yuanzhang really regretted that he didn't stand up to Empress Ma's pleading, and once again agreed to bring her to attend his meeting with Zhu Ji with a soft heart.

Empress Ma still hid behind the screen.

Before she officially recognized each other, she could only use this method to relieve the pain of longing in her heart.

What happened to Liu Bowen made them realize that even if he didn't study, Zhu Ji's son was extremely smart and keen.Even Zhu Yuanzhang was muttering in his heart, whether this eldest son really has the natural and divine ability.

So Empress Ma, who pretended to be a servant and washed Zhu Ji's feet, must never reappear as the mistress of this yard.

The first time Zhu Ji stepped into the living room, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's undisguised exhaustion and worry.

Originally, I wanted to ask about the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen, but now I put aside those miscellaneous things and couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Lao Ma, what are you doing here, making yourself so tired? Why don't we stop talking today, and let the aunt who washed my feet last time give you a good pinch of your feet, so you can get some sleep. Do you feel better?"

It was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang heard such heartwarming words from Zhu Ji.

Just as he didn't know how to start, a smile appeared on his face, and that rough voice called Zhu Ji back who was about to leave the living room:
"What are you running for? Come back. I'll go to bed as soon as I say a few words to you. I won't delay anything."

"Let's talk about it, the teacher we found for you is the famous Liu Ji and Liu Bowen. You really have grown up. You are such a great talent teaching you to read, but you actually drove him away."

"Let's talk about you, you made us offend him all of a sudden."

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's nagging complaints, Zhu Ji bowed his hands in embarrassment and apologized:

"I really didn't think about it at the time. But Ma, I told you last time that Liu Ji is really in big trouble now. You are not as big as the prime minister now, and the holy family may not be as high as Hu Weiyong. Let's fight But other people's."

"If Liu Ji is really targeted by Hu Weiyong, if this guy wants to mess with you and fabricate something casually, you will die or lose your skin."

Zhu Ji really wanted to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to save himself wisely.

Regarding the matter of Liu Ji, Zhu Ji also thought hard for some time after that day, and felt that there may be many ways to break the situation, but with his current status as a commoner, each of them can only be regarded as fantasy.

He had already hinted at Liu Bowen that day, so he could only pray that this wise old man could protect himself well.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but curse again at Zhu Ji's admiration.

But even if he can't reveal his identity, he can only do so much.

If you really want him to say that he wants to deal with Hu Weiyong, it's just a matter of him, then with Zhu Ji's sharp mind, he can definitely guess his identity.

However, Zhu Ji's protection of himself from the bottom of his heart also made him feel the warmth in his heart again.

Seeing that Zhu Ji was somewhat nervous, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Don't worry, everyone in the court is very busy now, and Hu Weiyong doesn't have the time to keep an eye on us. Besides, even if Hu Weiyong troubles us, don't we have other brothers from Huaixi?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang still looked proud:

"Your Majesty is not an unreasonable fool, how could he turn the court into Hu Weiyong's all-talking house?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Zhu Ji nod in agreement.

This emperor is indeed not a fool, but most of the time, he pretends to be foolish while pretending to understand.

After the most worrying thing in his heart was settled, Zhu Ji finally spoke a lot more easily.

He was still a little concerned about Zhu Yuanzhang's tired look, which was only seen in his classmates who played games all night for several days in his previous life.

"Old Ma, what are you busy with these days? Judging by your appearance, you haven't had a good night's sleep for at least five or six days, right?"

It's good that Zhu Ji didn't mention this, but Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he mentioned this.

He hadn't had a good night's sleep for days.But it wasn't because he didn't want to sleep, but the heavy burden on his heart made him worry so much that he couldn't sleep peacefully.

When he closes his eyes every day, he sees the urgent documents from all over the world among the hill-like memorials on his desk. Every word and every word in the documents is the lonely soul who starved to death like his mother and elder brother, crying bitterly in front of him.

He didn't even dare to close his eyes last night.

However, Daming has been fighting continuously for the past few years, providing disaster relief and awarding rewards, and the money and food in the treasury have long been stretched. Now the Lumi of all officials is replaced by some salt and silk cloth.

If things go on like this, not to mention the grievances among the officials in the court, I am afraid that the common people will stab him in the back.

When Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, didn't his original intention was to ensure that the common people in the world would have something to eat and not starve to death?
But now, why does the emperor feel more and more that things have backfired.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help sighing softly: "Oh, it's not because of money."

No one can confide in the pain of being an emperor.Fortunately, now he can use his identity as an old horse to confide in the bastard in front of him, which can make him feel better.

"The national treasury is in a hurry, Your Majesty asked us all to think of a way. We know that His Majesty really wants to fill the stomachs of the common people. Thinking about the parents who starved to death in the famine back then, I didn't think hard for several days. nothing."

Empress Ma hid behind the screen, and she couldn't help feeling sad when she heard Zhu Yuanzhang confide in her heart and could only use her status as a courtier.

Only Zhu Ji, who didn't seem to feel the same way at all, was still sitting on the chair, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang calmly.

This expression made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart that was already anxious to get angry instantly a little angry.

"I said you bastard, why don't you have any compassion? Think about those people who starved to death while fleeing famine, don't you have any heartache?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang questioning himself so emotionally out of control, Zhu Ji was taken aback for a moment, then faced Zhu Yuanzhang, and nodded seriously:
"Have."

"Then why don't you look sad at all?"

This sentence made Zhu Ji a little angry.

"Then what should I do? Like you, I don't sleep for three days? Or cry like a weak woman to let you know that my heart really hurts?"

"If you can't think of a way, just let me be quiet for a while. Can't you see I'm trying to do it?"

Seeing Zhu Ji talking back to him, Zhu Yuanzhang's face flushed red.At this moment, he really wanted to kick Zhu Ji out of the door, but nothing else would work, at least out of sight and out of mind.

But Zhu Ji later said that he was thinking of a way, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it, but he still kept him with a little luck.

Although he also knew that so many people with rich experience in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty could not think of any good solution, how could a brat like Zhu Ji solve his problems in such a short period of time.
