Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 227 The Supreme Emperor beats the Emperor: Beating the children on a rainy day is free.
Prime Minister's House.

All the maids were rushed to the front yard, and the housekeeper didn't know what happened, but he felt that something big must have happened, because the master came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Who hit the master? The master is the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, who dares?
Everyone was curious, but no one dared to go to the master's study to ask, and the housekeeper was helpless. At this time, Hu Weiyong, half of his face swollen, came in a hurry. The housekeeper hurriedly greeted him: "Master Hu, what happened? Why are you injured too? "

"Get lost!" Hu Weiyong shouted angrily, "Tell everyone to get away and stay away from the backyard."

"Yes!" The butler nodded.

Hu Weiyong himself hurried to the backyard and entered Li Shanchang's study.

Bang!

Li Shanchang, who has always boasted that "Taishan Mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his expression", was throwing the cup angrily, his eyes were splitting: "Old man! How dare you hit me? Your Majesty is polite to me, why should he? Daming Ming Dynasty We were the ones who defeated him, and he was incompetent.”

Hu Weiyong was equally angry: "Prime Minister, we can't bear this beating today in vain. Isn't the Emperor arrogant? Then let's let him be arrogant. We can't contradict him, so we can always hide, right? We claim to be sick and won't go there starting tomorrow. Zhongshu Sheng, recuperate."

A light flashed in Li Shanchang's eyes. He stopped throwing the cup and raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, let's also follow Liu Bowen's example and call himself sick."

Hu Weiyong echoed with a sinister smile: "Without the Prime Minister in Zhongshu Province, you and I, there will be chaos in less than two days! My subordinates have already ordered our people to mess up things and give your Majesty a headache."

"Hahaha!" Li Shanchang sat down with a sneer, "Weiyong, let's have some tea and start tomorrow. We'll be recuperating."

"Xiangguo, would you like to say hello to the six departments?" Hu Weiyong sat down and asked.

"If there's going to be chaos, there will definitely be chaos." Li Shanchang returned to his calm and calm demeanor.

……

Jinyiwei Yamen.

Commander Mao Xiang was drinking tea leisurely. This time he accompanied His Majesty on the northern expedition. The Jin Yiwei performed well and received a reward from His Majesty. He was very happy.

"Master Mao, my dear Master Mao." A familiar voice came.

Bang!

The cup in Mao Xiang's hand fell to the ground. He quickly stood up, walked to the door and knelt down towards the Fourth Master Zhu who came in: "I see the Supreme Emperor."

"Get up, why are we so polite? I used to be your subordinate." Fourth Master Zhu raised his hand.

"I, Wansi, didn't know the identity of the Supreme Emperor before. I have offended the power of Heaven. Please ask the Supreme Emperor to punish me." Mao Xiang became numb.

He kowtowed quickly, thinking that the Supreme Emperor was here to cause trouble, right? I have never offended you before. I only know that His Majesty treats you differently, but I never would have thought that you are actually His Majesty's biological father.

"Don't do this!" Fourth Master Zhu smiled, "You were pretty good to me before. I forgive you and get up and speak."

Mao Xiang relaxed a little, stood up, and asked respectfully: "The Supreme Emperor is looking for me. Do you have any orders?"

Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand: "Sit down and tell me that there is something about Korea and Yunnan."

Mao Xiang quickly ordered his subordinates to bring over the latest intelligence from Goryeo and Yunnan. He looked admiringly: "Your Majesty, how do you know there is a situation in these two places? The intelligence that just came, Beiyuan is in cahoots with Goryeo and Yunnan Liang Wang. "

Fourth Master Zhu took the spy report and read it carefully, frowning deeply.

At this time, Yunnan was a bit complicated. The local chief supported King Liang, allowing him to separate one side. The court's current energy is still focused on Beiyuan in the north, and there are no extra troops to conquer it for a while.

"Send more Jin Yiwei secret agents to infiltrate over there. This battle will happen sooner or later." Fourth Master Zhu ordered.

"Your Majesty has sent an envoy. Let's appease him first." Mao Xiang spread his hands.

Fourth Master Zhu nodded thoughtfully. The imperial court could only appease him first and did not have the ability to start a war on two fronts.

……

The next day, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a small court meeting to discuss matters in Yunnan, and found that both Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were ill. He sneered in his heart, these two people must have deliberately claimed to be sick and refused to go to court because the Supreme Emperor beat them.

"The six ministers will directly take action." He said solemnly.

Then, he spent most of the morning without finishing the matters reported by the six departments. He was secretly frightened. The government affairs of various ministries were put together, which was complicated and very tiring. At the same time, he was also lucky that he discovered this in advance because Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong had no choice.

After handling the government affairs, he returned to Kunning Palace for dinner. At the door, he saw Li Wenzhong and Li Jinglong, who had come with the Queen's order. He asked curiously: "Why is the Queen looking for you and your son?"

"Meet my great-grandfather." Li Jinglong was excited.

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped himself on the head, why had he neglected this matter? Li Wenzhong was the son of his second sister, that is, the nephew and grandson of Fourth Master Zhu, and he was not allowed to see him.

After a while, Fourth Master Zhu came. He thought he was here to take back Wenger, who had spent the night in Kunning Palace last night. When he entered the door, he saw Li Wenzhong and his son. He also slapped his head. Aren't these his nephews and great-grandsons?

"Meet Grandpa." Li Wenzhong kowtowed.

"Get up." Fourth Master Zhu raised his hand, "I think Jiuquanxia will be happy to have a son like you."

As he said that, his eyes fell on Li Jinglong, and he complained in his heart that if I have a grandson like you, I will be so angry that I will lift the coffin board. Ming God of War, let’s see if I can change you.

"Okay, today we are all members of the family. We are exempt from those rules and have a good meal." Queen Ma greeted with a smile.

Fourth Master Zhu took Li Wenzhong and asked him about his current situation. After lunch, their father and son left Kunning Palace and walked on the road. Li Jinglong was still excited.

"Jiujiang, remember this!" Li Wenzhong said solemnly, "The Emperor and His Majesty can treat us as relatives and nephews, but we cannot treat them as relatives."

"Why?" Li Jinglong was confused.

"We are His Majesty's ministers." Li Wenzhong looked serious. "We are not relatives of the Emperor. You must keep this in mind."

"Son, please follow your instructions." Li Jinglong seemed to understand.

……

Qianqing Palace.

After dinner, Fourth Master Zhu and Zhu Yuanzhang, father and son, returned here for a walk, drinking tea and chatting about recent events.

Suddenly it started to rain heavily. The raindrops were fine and even. They gently hit the glazed tiles of the palace, making a crisp and sweet sound. The rain dripped down the eaves, splashing small water splashes on the ground, forming small streams that flowed slowly.

The flowers, plants and trees in the palace are full of vitality under the nourishment of spring rain. The leaves become greener and the flowers more delicate, swaying in the rain.

The buildings in the distance were looming in the rain, and the entire palace seemed to be washed brighter and fresher by the rain. The father and son rarely enjoyed this moment of tranquility. While admiring the spring rain, Fourth Master Zhu frowned, put down the tea cup, and said in a deep voice: "Chongba, there is something you need to stop."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Stop building the Zhongdu. What are you doing building the capital in that inhospitable place?" Master Zhu glared, "Recruiting millions of craftsmen to build the city like the capital? You are just wasting money!"

"Dad, you know nothing." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"I don't understand? Your piece of shit Zhongdu cost the Ming Dynasty several years of tax revenue, and it ended up in ruins." Fourth Master Zhu glared, "Isn't this a waste of money? The Ming Dynasty is at war, and your usual talk of saving is all nonsense. How can you save the cost of building Zhongdu?"

"We will build the capital in Fengyang!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, raising his neck.

"You are fighting with me, right?" Fourth Master Zhu rolled up his sleeves.

"Dad, what are you doing? We are the emperor now." Zhu Yuanzhang flinched, remembering the scene when he was beaten by his father when he was a child.

Snapped!
Fourth Master Zhu took off his shoes and began to beat him. While beating him, he scolded: "What happened to the Emperor? You are still my son. If you do something wrong, you have to admit it. If you don't admit it, you have to be beaten. This is the rule of the Zhu family." !”

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't run away either, just like he did when he was a child, he held his neck and refused to accept it! Soon, his body was covered with shoehorn marks, and he retorted: "Yingtian City is not suitable as a capital city. Yingtian City in all dynasties has been a small court in a corner."

Fourth Master Zhu had a great time beating the emperor, and he cursed: "Didn't I tell you? Move the capital to Beiping City, and the emperor will guard the country! Wherever the emperor is, will the land of Youyan be lost?"

"This...this...that was the capital before Beiyuan." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"This is Ming Dynasty's territory now." Fourth Master Zhu was tired of beating him.

"Dad, we are considering this matter." Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice.

"Consider your uncle!" Fourth Master Zhu continued to beat him.

The eunuch Wang Jinghong was running around anxiously. Suddenly, he suddenly became wise and ran forward to pay homage: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Bowen is waiting to be summoned."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he quickly left the Qianqing Palace and went straight to the Wenhua Palace in the rain. Zhu Biao, who was reading the book, saw shoehorn marks all over his father's dragon robe, and was shocked: "Father, what happened? Did the queen beat her? No, the queen always used a feather duster."

"It's your grandpa." Zhu Yuanzhang looked depressed.

"Uh..." Zhu Biao looked strange, "Why does grandpa want to beat you, father?"

"It's a rainy day, you have nothing to do!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared.

Zhu Biao held back his laughter and thought to himself that from now on, besides his mother, there would be someone else who could control his father.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already full of spring.

The sun is shining brightly, the breeze is gentle, and the willows on both sides of the Qinhuai River are caressing the rippling blue waves of the river. The river water is crystal clear, and fish swim freely in the water, occasionally jumping out of the water and making ripples.

On both sides of the river, flowers are blooming in brilliant purples and reds. Peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and cherry blossoms are blooming, exuding bursts of fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies to dance among the flowers. The green trees and the chirping of birds create a vibrant spring scene.

There are many cruise ships on the Qinhuai River, and tourists are either in groups or in pairs, admiring the beautiful scenery along the coast. The boatmen paddled their oars gently, and the cruise ship moved slowly on the river.

Fourth Master Zhu was standing at the bow of the boat, hugging Wan'er gently. Her face, which had not been painted with makeup, was delicate and fair, a little more soft. He put his hands on his slightly raised belly.

"Do you feel better if you come out for a walk?" Fourth Master Zhu smiled.

"Actually, the scenery in the back mountain is also very beautiful." Wener's smart and clear eyes blinked, "I am awakened by beauty every day."

"From now on, I will take you to see the world, including London, Paris, the Aegean Sea, and New York, Seattle." Mr. Zhu put his arm around her slender waist.

"What the hell are all these places?" Wen'er snorted.

Fourth Master Zhu secretly laughed in his heart, you are really right, these places are like ghost places now. However, world travel will be necessary in the future, and Daming Trading Company has this strength.

"The spices, gems and other things that Huanglucaly brought me last time were quite good. I heard they were all brought back from overseas?" Wener's eyes were full of yearning, "I will also go to sea with the fleet in the future."

"That's for sure, we will travel around the world." Fourth Master Zhu said with a smile, he himself was looking forward to it.

The boat stopped in the middle of the river. The two of them stood on the bow of the boat and felt warm and comfortable. The gentle breeze blew with the fragrance of flowers, which made them very comfortable. Zhu Di picked up the fishing rod and waved it. He wanted to fish.

Whoosh!
The fishing rod was swung, and the long fishing line flew to the opposite boat. He raised his hand and shouted: "I'm sorry, I didn't know the direction."

There was a man standing on the bow of the boat opposite. He snorted coldly, waved his hand violently, and directly broke Zhu Di's fish thread. Zhu Di immediately became angry: "Hey, who doesn't have eyesight, dare to mess with me?"

Fourth Master Zhu felt a wave of energy. He looked up and saw something flying towards Zhu Di as the middle-aged man waved his hand. He took a closer look and saw that it was a strange insect.

"Get away!" He shouted, raised his hand and drew it, condensing it into a small flying sword, and the flying sword flew away quickly.

scold!
The flying sword split open the insect, and the insect fell on the ship's board. Huan'er looked at the insect and exclaimed: "Gu insect!"

Fourth Master Zhu's eyes were like daggers as he looked towards the boat opposite. There was a woman beside the man. The woman was wearing Miao clothing and bowed slightly towards them: "I apologize to you, my subordinate just got impulsive."

Zhu Di seemed to have remembered something, frowned and asked: "Are you the envoys sent by King Liang?"

The woman nodded with a smile. She was wearing a Miao Jiang dress, gorgeous and mysterious, with a faint smile on her beautiful face, and her eyes seemed to fall on Fourth Master Zhu.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

He had been accompanying Huan'er in the back mountain recently. He didn't know that King Liang had sent a delegation. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The man was a poisonous insect and wanted to kill people. He couldn't keep such a person.

"My name is Xianfang, and I apologize to you again." The woman glanced at the man beside her, and the man reluctantly bowed and apologized with her.

"It turns out to be the Saint of Twelve Cave." Zhu Di snorted, "I've made a note of it, young master, and will go to the Huitong Hall to pay her a special visit."

"My little lady, I welcome you all." Xianfang smiled.

When Mr. Zhu saw the other party apologizing continuously, he did not get angry on the spot. Xianfang waved her hand, and their ship slowly moved away. Fourth Master Zhu asked Zhu Di: "What is the Twelve Cave Saint? What is the origin of this woman?"

"Miaojiang Twelve Cave, the forces that support King Liang, those who play with bugs are very evil." Zhu Di frowned, "Master, don't fight against them easily. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you are still afraid of bugs."

"It's really troublesome to cast poison." Fourth Master Zhu thought thoughtfully.

He was confused, why did King Liang send the envoy? It will definitely not be a surrender, there is probably a conspiracy.
