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

Chapter 52 Zhu Yuanzhang’s private money is gone again!

early morning.

The palace was shrouded in a light mist, and the gentle breeze brought some coolness.

The maids and eunuchs were already busy, shuttling through the corridors and courtyards of the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back from the morning court and was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune as he walked:
After eating the steamed buns and big sesame cakes, I finished eating the sesame cakes before going to the court.

Hey, hey, hey, go to the court, go to the court.

There is a big sesame seed cake placed in the court.

Eat it, drink it, and after eating, the sun will come out.

Come out, the sun will be warm when it comes out!

"Chongba, what are you so happy about?" Queen Ma greeted her standing in front of the gate of Qianqing Palace.

"There are few deals today, so we rarely have time to relax."

Zhu Yuanzhang led Queen Ma into the Qianqing Palace, looked at the porridge and sesame seed cakes on the table and said, "Eat here and there, I'm still used to eating what you made, girl."

After he sat down, he began to drink porridge and eat sesame seed cakes.

"Sister, how much money is left in the inner treasury?" he asked while eating.

"What do you want to do?" Queen Ma immediately became alert.

"We want to raise money!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became hardened and glared, "Why, we are the emperor, can't we?"

"No!" Queen Ma refused flatly, "As agreed, the outer court belongs to you, and the inner court belongs to me. But not only the inner treasury, but also the upbringing of all the princes, the selection of the prince's wife, and the appointment of the inner court officials are all made by me. Forget it. Also, you have to ask me about matters related to the royal family before issuing an order."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately felt that the food in front of him no longer tasted good.

He smacked his lips and looked embarrassed: "Sister, you can't interfere in politics in the harem. This is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, this rule has been in existence since ancient times and remains unchanged throughout the ages. As an emperor, I have to ask you first before making any decisions. Purpose? That’s not the queen, that’s the emperor’s mother.”

"Hey, Zhu Chongba, don't think I don't understand."

Queen Ma's face fell, and she stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with fierce eyes and said, "We have just founded the country, and you want to kick me away? Zhu Chongba, we must establish rules. If you want to rule the world with peace of mind, you must first maintain peace at home." Bar?"

"Well!" Zhu Yuanzhang thought it made sense, "please tell me your opinion."

"From now on, you can just issue orders, and I will never refute them. As long as you say anything about the court's affairs on the scene, I will definitely uphold your authority and obey your imperial edicts." The corner of Queen Ma's mouth raised slightly, "But as long as When I enter this house, I can say whatever I want and ask whatever I want. You can't lie to me. Anyway, to the outside world, the inner court is not allowed to interfere in politics. When you return home, you are Zhu Chongba. To me, there is no such thing as Zhu Chongba. Court rules.”

"Ah? We are an emperor who has become the external head of the family, and you are the internal head of the family?" Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes.

"This is called the difference between inside and outside." Queen Ma raised her eyebrows, "Do you agree or not?"

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang approached Empress Ma with a smile and said, "But let's make it clear first that this rule is only suitable for the two of us. In the future, the monarch must not learn from it."

"Of course, we are the founding couple." Queen Ma said proudly.

"We have only heard of the founding king, not the founding couple." Zhu Yuanzhang raised his forehead.

"We've had it since I came here." Queen Ma glared.

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his face.

You're quite domineering, so I won't argue with you, okay.

"Sister, we are leaving the palace, please give us some money." He said cheerfully.

"Here." Queen Ma took out a money bag and gave it to him.

"That's it?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared.

"What's going on? You want so much money, what do you want to do?" Queen Ma glared.

"What are you doing? Enough is enough. At most we can buy some sesame cakes to eat." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.

He buried his head and began to drink porridge.

At this time, too many words are wrong.

……

afternoon.

The sun shines through the clouds and shines warmly on every corner of the capital.

The streets are bustling with traffic and pedestrians. The sounds of vendors and the rolling sounds of wheels are very lively.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked out of the palace, and the commander of the Jinyiwei Mao Xiang followed behind him with the plainclothes Jinyiwei.

"Let's go to Fourth Master's place, you guys, stay away." Zhu Yuanzhang waved. Mao Xiang had no choice but to ask Jin Yiwei to guard around Fourth Master Zhu's house.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the door of the courtyard and looked up to see Zhu Di and a little girl studying. Mr. Zhu was leisurely drinking tea there.

"Eight Lang, are you back from a business trip?" Fourth Master Zhu waved.

"Just came back." Zhu Yuanzhang approached with a smile.

He had told Fourth Master Zhu before that he had to go out on business, but in fact the court was too busy during this period and had no time to come.

Fourth Master Zhu looked up and down and rolled his eyes: "You just come here empty-handed? You're on a business trip and you don't come back with some local products?"

Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands helplessly: "No money."

He really wasn't lying, he really had no money.

The private money was gone. Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Di fiercely.

Zhu Di didn't look at him at all and stayed close to the little girl.

"Who is this little girl?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"My new disciple is named Xu Miaoyun." Fourth Master Zhu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Isn't that the eldest daughter of Xu Da's family?
This is great, Fourth Brother, you can cheer me up and hook up with the eldest daughter of the Xu Da family.

"Miaoyun, come and see Uncle Zhu." Fourth Master Zhu greeted.

Xu Miaoyun put down her book, walked over, and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Junior, I pay my respects to Uncle Zhu."

Although she is young, every move she makes is classy.

However, she had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang, and she did not know that the person in front of her was the Ming Emperor whom her father often mentioned.

"Yes, she looks like a lady at first glance." Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.

"Junior pays homage to Uncle Zhu." Zhu Di also bowed to him.

"Get out of here!" Zhu Yuanzhang glared.

Fourth Master Zhu has a black streak on his head.

Why are these two always at odds with each other?

……

Fourth Master Zhu asked Zhu Di to go out to buy food and handed him a money bag, which was full of free money.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shone: "Fourth Master, you have become rich recently."

"Hmph, my master is making a lot of money every day."

Zhu Di took the money bag, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Unlike some people, who are so poor."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he took off his shoes.

Zhu Di immediately hid behind Fourth Master Zhu, thinking, this is not the palace, you still want to beat me? My master is here.

"Uh, Fourth Master." Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, "We are short of money recently, how about you lend us some money?"

"Ah? Are you shameless?" Zhu Di was speechless.

He cursed in his heart.

You are the current emperor, why do you still ask others to borrow money?
From ancient times to the present, it’s just you, my father? In terms of face, you are the only one.

"Eight Lang, if you want money, just ask." Master Zhu spread his hands, "What do you mean by borrowing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di provocatively, feeling very proud.

He thought, this is our dad, what happened to spending some of his money?

"Miaoyun, let's go buy something to eat." Zhu Di went to hold Xu Miaoyun.

Xu Miaoyun dodged, her beautiful eyes glared fiercely, and walked in front.

Zhu Di Pidianpidian followed.

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his face, always feeling that this fourth child would be a coward who was afraid of his wife.
