Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 254 We accept everything

"Hey……"

Queen Ma let out a long sigh. In fact, she also knew why Li Wei thought this way, even better than Li Wei himself, but she still advised:

"His Majesty does act in a cruel way sometimes, but he also has his reasons for doing that. He is the emperor and needs to consider the interests of his family, country and society. You should also be more understanding."

Li Wei took a long breath, and said so, but it makes sense if it doesn't fall on him, but it's different if it falls on him.

He had also told the story of the train and the child before to explain to Zhu Biao why Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered the officials. Even if there were innocent people among them, he still had to kill them for the sake of the overall situation.

However, if there are relatives and friends among them, it will be different. Maybe there are really selfless people in this world, but he himself is not.

Although Xu Yao and the craftsmen were not his relatives, they were still friends. In order to force him to work obediently, Zhu Yuanzhang used the lives of these people as a warning, which he could not accept.

"Your Majesty is right, I understand."

Li Wei said softly, even though he looked calm in his heart.

However, Li Wei's acting skills couldn't be hidden from Queen Ma at all, and Queen Ma could tell at a glance that he meant something different.

Shaking her head slightly, Empress Ma smiled and said, "Do you want to hear about His Majesty's youth?"

Li Wei secretly rolled his eyes, to be honest, he didn't want to!

"Okay, okay, I want to hear it too, please tell me, Queen Mother."

Next to her, An Qing was chewing snacks and yelling vaguely. She just liked listening to stories, but now that she had grown up, she was less interested in fairy tales. Instead, she was quite interested in the stories about her father and emperor told by her mother.

Li Wei was speechless.

Empress Ma did not wait for his answer and started talking to herself: "In the fourth year of Zhi Zheng, there was a famine in Haozhou. Your Majesty was just seventeen years old at that time. Within ten days, his parents and eldest brother died one by one, leaving only Your Majesty and Brother Zhong..."

Empress Ma slowly told Zhu Yuanzhang's early experiences. Li Wei was not surprised by this. This was how it was played on TV. Although Empress Ma gave a more detailed account, it was still the same. Anyway, it could be summed up in one word: miserable. !

What can teenagers understand if they haven’t read any books?

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had no other thoughts besides resenting the rich men who were unkind and corrupt officials.

Later, after being a monk for a month, he was kicked out by the monks to "beg for alms". From then on, he traveled around, suffered a lot, and sharpened his skills. When he joined the army with Guo Zixing, he showed his outstanding talents.

The marriage between Queen Ma and him was not as twists and turns as in the legend, but a very ordinary political marriage. Guo Zixing married his goddaughter to him not just to win over his capable general.

But in their subsequent relationship, the two could be said to have stayed together through thick and thin, far from being comparable to the so-called free love of later generations.

However, the Zhu Yuanzhang in Queen Ma's mouth was different from what Li Wei saw on TV.

He hates rich people who are unkind, but he can resist indiscriminate killings. He hates corrupt officials, and he treated them as honored guests at the beginning of the uprising. The real Zhu Yuanzhang did not have any special talents, let alone adventures from heaven, he was just an ordinary person. Smart people, cautious, steady and step by step, conquer the world.

If he were an ordinary person, he should have enjoyed himself at this stage, but he didn't. He was still conscientious and diligent, and controlled his selfish desires to death. He even married so many women for the sake of the reproduction of the royal family. , I will never favor any concubine too much just because she is young and beautiful.

Maybe in his heart, there really is only tomorrow.

Oh, and Queen Ma, who accompanied him all the way to the throne.

From his observations in the past few days, Li Wei deeply felt how important Empress Ma was in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Empress Ma briefly told Zhu Yuanzhang's story, and finally said softly: "Sometimes you have to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Your Majesty also has his difficulties."

Li Wei curled his lips secretly, I don't dare to change places with him!

But having said that, he still couldn't help but think about it, what would he do if he were the emperor, and everything was in vain at the beginning of the founding of the country, and he had talents but couldn't use them for me?

Let it go gently? Kill something? Or is it like Zhu Yuanzhang who tried every means to force him to submit?

Li Wei took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. He felt as if a stone was pressing down on his heart, making it dull and uncomfortable.

Is it my own fault in the end, after all is said and done?

Li Wei felt uncomfortable hearing this, and An Qing pouted with an unhappy look on his face: "Father's story is not pleasant at all!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's experience is legendary in general, it is boring to talk about it in detail. It is all step by step, there are no accidents, and of course there are no surprises. Naturally, it is not as good as Li Wei's twists and turns in the novels.

"Haha, you, you're already married, why are you still playing like a child?"

Queen Ma said and poked her with her finger, causing her little head to shake.

An Qing shook his head unhappily, making the headdress rattle. Queen Ma looked at her naughty look and couldn't help but smile. Then after a while, her smile was gradually replaced by surprise. She looked at her daughter carefully, and then she seemed to see something and turned around. He glanced at Li Wei meaningfully.

Li Wei had something on his mind and didn't pay attention to her gaze.

The three of them rested for a while, and then returned to the palace at Li Wei's suggestion. After all, Queen Ma had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was afraid that she would catch a cold and relapse if she stayed outside.

As time went by, Queen Ma's health became better and better. Except for an occasional cough, everything else was basically the same as ordinary people.

Li Wei stayed in the palace for more than half a month, running between Kunning Palace and the small dark room all day long. The palace was different from other places, and he couldn't run around casually. However, he was so bored that he basically recovered after seeing Queen Ma. He wanted to go home quickly, so he went to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Yuanzhang was reading some memorials approved by Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao had been involved in politics for many years and was very good at handling these government affairs. Except for a few that he did not like, he would change them, and most of the others he agreed to directly. , when Li Wei came, he had already almost handled it.

"See your Majesty." Li Wei walked into the hall and bowed his hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and glanced at him, closed the memorial book and put it aside. He chuckled and said, "Excuse me. Why did you think of coming to see us?"

Ever since Empress Ma recovered from her illness, he fell in love with this boy more and more, and he was secretly glad that he had found a treasure!

"Your Majesty, the Queen's illness has almost recovered. Do you think I can go home? After all, it is not appropriate for me to be a man and live in the palace all the time!"

Li Wei put away his hands and said respectfully.

He just made a random excuse. The fundamental reason was that he was bored in the palace. He had the same idea as Anqing, but he didn't know that this was indeed a reason that could not be ignored.

Recently, the foreign court has been quite critical of his consort living in the palace for more than half a month. Many people even wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that this move violated etiquette and law.

In the past, he was just a nobody, and no one knew about him being locked up in a small dark room. Naturally, the courtiers would not say anything, but now that he is the prince-in-law, this matter cannot be ignored.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and nodded gently: "Okay, you can go back first and take Anqing back with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei felt happy and quickly thanked him.

Zhu Yuanzhang could also see that this boy just didn't want to stay in the palace. He glanced at him and said calmly: "But remember to enter the palace every day to say hello to us and the queen."

"Uh, okay."

Hearing this, Li Wei hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing. Seeing his appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately snorted in displeasure.

"Tell me, if you save our sister this time, if you want any reward, just tell me and I won't deny it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said proudly.

Li Wei was stunned. I remember you said you wanted to make me king.

"This is what I should do. I dare not invite rewards." Li Wei said hypocritically.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him in surprise, hehe, this kid has learned this trick, okay!

"Okay, then we won't reward you. You can go." Zhu Yuanzhang's face tightened and he said calmly.

Li Wei: "?"

I'm just being polite, don't be so practical!

"Hehehe..."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud when he saw his dumbfounded look.

The corner of Li Wei's mouth twitched, knowing that he had been tricked, he felt very unhappy, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I remember you said you wanted to make me king!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's laughter stopped and he said with a sullen face: "When did we say we were going to grant you a title? It's too early for you to be granted a title at your age. Let's think about it again."

Li Wei was stunned and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief. He couldn't tell whether there was something wrong with his ears or his mouth.

　Five thousand words are written today, but tomorrow may not be certain. The author works hard, and everyone will forgive me if there is anything missing.
