Hongwu Survival Guide

Zhu Yuan has always been very good at persuading people, and he is more efficient when facing Lao Zhu who has been washed countless times by him.

Logically and clearly start from one's "real age". In fact, a person who is 36 or [-] years old marries a girl who is [-] or [-] years old. The generation gap is too big and there is no common language.Moreover, even if you don't care about the spiritual fit, letting a little girl whose mind is probably not mature yet come into your own back house is tiring to think about.

There are so many things on weekdays, piled up one after another, Zhu Yuan is already very tired, and really doesn't want to be more tired.

Then there is heart-to-heart comparison.

Lao Zhu's marriage is very happy. An emperor only said that he had more than 20 sons in his lifetime, which is rare in all dynasties.

Could it be that many emperors in the past dynasties were not physically fit?
No.

It's because the harem is too chaotic.

Although Ma's position on Diaoyutai is due to the fact that her three biological sons occupy one, two and three respectively, which is theoretically invincible, but it cannot be denied that by the standards of this era, Ma is a very virtuous wife.

Zhu Yuan didn't think he was so lucky to meet one.

Next is to show your will.

Zhu Yuan hopes to focus more on state affairs, so he doesn't want to be involved too much in family affairs.But at present, although there are many women in his inner house, they are generally very harmonious. Moreover, through the many documents and letters written by them, Zhu Yuan believes that Lao Zhu can also appreciate the help those women have given him.

Zhu Yuan felt that having a few of them was enough.

Finally, about offspring.

Compared with girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old and have not yet grown up, it is obviously more suitable for them to be freehand.

As for birth, status, etc., Zhu Yuan didn't care that much, and once again praised Lao Zhu secretly, thinking about your ancestors, you wouldn't be the one who cared about these things, after all, our family was originally from a commoner background.

Inside the East Pavilion.

Old Zhu heard a lot from his precious 23rd grandson, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I have already mentioned the matter of canonization, I just want to get it done early next year, you... don't even want the main wife In the future, we must not give the title to a concubine, shall we?"

Zhu Yuan had already stood up from the initial big ceremony. In order to persuade Lao Zhu, he insisted on not taking a seat this time. Hearing this, he said: "My ancestors, in the future...you just need to determine the order of the elders and younger ones. They are all descended from concubines, so there will be no disputes." .”

They are all concubines...

What nonsense is this? !

Old Zhu stared, wanting to reprimand, seeing the thin face of his baby's 23rd generation grandson opposite, he was reluctant to give up, he hesitated for a while, finally sighed, and said: "If that's the case, it's up to you, After tossing around for such a long time, hurry back and rest, seeing that your complexion is not good."

Seeing that Lao Zhu agreed to come down, Zhu Yuan cupped his hands and saluted, but said again: "Your Majesty said, after talking with the ancestor, let me go back there and let me know."

Lao Zhu waved his hands away in disgust: "Don't run away anymore, I'll tell her tonight. You... well, what are you thinking, um, beside you... are... those four?"

Speaking and remembering, Zhu Yuan's first diary on his trip to Mingzhou included the names of four women.

After that, many letters and documents, those handsome fonts, at first glance, could not be written by the 23rd generation grandchildren of my own treasure.Looking at people through words, Lao Zhu subconsciously felt that it seemed... not bad to have them by Zhu Yuan's side.

Zhu Yuan didn't know why Lao Zhu mentioned this, but he still nodded.

Lao Zhu thought for a while, and said: "Just tomorrow, let her meet the queen every time she enters the palace, and explain everything to you. You have to let them watch more."

Zhu Yuan understood that this was some kind of recognition, and hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go."

"Yuan'er resigns."

After Zhu Yuan left, Lao Zhu looked up again.

Thinking of what Zhu Yuan just said, Old Zhu sighed again.Compared with the reasons given by Zhu Yuan, in fact, as a person who worries too much, he thought of more.

For example, according to him, the girls selected by Mrs. Ma are basically the daughters of meritorious generals.

However...according to the records in "Book of Heaven", the group of old brothers who are fighting with him now, in the future... there will not be many left.

Because of Zhu Yuan's vague records, Lao Zhu knew about the "Hu Weiyong case" and also about the "Lanyu case", but relatively speaking, his understanding of that period of history was not as thorough as Zhu Yuan's.He just followed his usual way of thinking, thinking that he was like some ancient emperors, who were cunning rabbits and dead dogs.

'But the old man's heart is changeable' Oh!

This time... From the bottom of his heart, Lao Zhu still hopes to have a mutual relationship, but can he really achieve his wish?
Therefore, Lao Zhu felt that although Zhu Yuan didn't say it clearly, he didn't want to marry the daughters of those generals' families, probably because he wanted to avoid getting involved in advance.Like, this time, Lao Zhu also hesitated in his heart, should he marry many heroes and generals in the future?
Confused with all these things, Old Zhu sighed again, until the center sent a drafted edict, and he let himself temporarily put aside these things, and turned to deal with many official duties.

The afternoon passed quickly.

After arranging the use of troops against Shu, and waiting for a series of edicts to be sent out, Lao Zhu finally took a look at the layout of the 'meeting room', and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it would be more efficient to handle things this way.

So when I returned to the harem in the dark, it was already the beginning of Xu.

Mrs. Ma was waiting in the dining room on the west side of the Qianqing Palace, holding a stack of manuscripts and reading them with great interest.

Seeing her husband coming in, Mrs. Ma got up quickly and called the maid in the palace to bring water to wash Lao Zhu's face.

After washing his face, Lao Zhu came to the dining table and sat down. After waiting for his wife to order the meal, he glanced at the stack of manuscripts on the side. It was the first chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions". You have read this several times, isn't it enough?"

There is a reason for this question.

At the beginning, Mrs. Ma did not agree to add these storytelling monsters in the "Daming Monthly", and felt that it was messy, so he had better explain it.

Right now, I'm hooked.

Madam Ma ordered to sit down, felt her husband's teasing, and said deliberately not to let Lao Zhu succeed: "I am just a leisurely pastime, and I occasionally look at it."

"'There is more to forget to shrink your hands behind you, and there is no way to turn back in front of you', which is very vigilant," Lao Zhu didn't skip it, but recollected it, recited the couplet in it casually, and shook his head: "It's the "Good Song" ", it's too dusty, if all the officials want to become a monk after seeing it, what should I do?"

When the topic started, Ma followed up subconsciously. She didn't agree with her husband's evaluation, she shook her head and said: ""The Song of Goodbye" says 'can't let go, can't let go, can't forget', if you can 'get it' easily, the world will There won't be much trouble."

Lao Zhu mentioned another one: "There is also "A Chinese Ghost Story", there is a swordsman in Shu, heh, I like Yan Chixia, instead of saying 'killing a person in ten steps', I found out the matter carefully, Even if you kill a monster, you are afraid that you will kill a good monster by mistake, and this kind of people are the real knights."

Mrs. Ma shook her head: "I only know a saying called 'Xiamen uses martial arts to violate the ban'. Husband, take a look at it. Don't take it seriously, let alone condone it."

Lao Zhu savored it, and said with a smile: "Your words are also reasonable, and you obviously realized it after reading it carefully."

Only then did Mrs. Ma realize that she had fallen into a trap, so she gave her husband a sideways look, and simply ordered the maid to put away the manuscripts on the table.

Even though it was such an action, it is also true that in the past two days, two stories, Ma Shi, who has a lot of leisure in his daily life, reminded himself more than once, but still couldn't help but read it several times.

Because the story is really good.

Moreover, Mrs. Ma also saw a lot of foreshadowing in it, such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", in which Yan Chixia said that she had a younger brother and a story about a descendant of Nuwa, and she would like to tell Ning Caichen about it in the future.

With just a few strokes, Ma felt that this must not be aimless.

When I saw Zhu Yuan in the afternoon, if it wasn't for serious business such as kissing, if it wasn't for maintaining the image of the empress, Madam Ma would have almost asked.

Thinking of this, when the attendants had prepared the meals and sent the people around them out, Mrs. Ma filled the rice for her husband herself and asked, "What did Yuan'er tell you, how many times did you remind him to let him know, but he didn't come?"

Lao Zhu took the rice, and when his wife asked, he sighed again, and roughly talked about the conversation between the grandparents and grandson.

Of course, some things that cannot be said still cannot be said.

Ma Shi, who had just served himself a bowl of rice, shook his head immediately after hearing this, and even put down his chopsticks again: "Husband, how can you indulge him like this. In the future, the majestic county king will not even have a wife. How can it be proper?"

"Yuaner...it's different after all," Lao Zhu could understand Ma Shi's mood, and said something on behalf of his precious 23rd generation grandson. Seeing Ma Shi still disapproving, he looked like he didn't make it clear and didn't eat. Think about it Then he said: "It's really different, the specific reason, um... After three years, I will tell you what you should know."

At the beginning of the year, Mrs. Ma kept questioning him, and Lao Zhu repeated a certain 'three-year agreement'.

As long as Chang Yuchun next year is safe and everything else goes smoothly, Lao Zhu plans to share the "Book from Heaven" with his wife. This secret is a bit heavy for him to carry alone, so he hopes his wife can help share it, and at the same time Together help change something.

Of course Mrs. Ma will not forget this incident. Seeing that Lao Zhu used it as an excuse, because he was too worried about it, he was successfully distracted, raised his eyebrows and said: "Husband, it is still 'three years', does this count from the present?"

As he said that, the big copper cabinet that he often sees in the study here has appeared in his mind.

If it takes "three years" once, there is no end.

Lao Zhu thought for a while, because of the appearance of Zhu Yuan, the "history" of this year has changed beyond recognition, it seems... there is no need to wait for three years.

Just one thing, Shaanxi was captured ahead of schedule. The Battle of Qingyang, which should have happened in the second year of Hongwu, is gone. Without the Battle of Qingyang, Chang Yuchun would no longer have to travel long distances from Shaanxi to Hebei. There is a high probability that the river change will never happen again.

What's more, Lao Zhu has decided to recall Chang Yuchun.

Although some things have to be postponed due to temporary changes in central Shu, if this battle goes well, it can be completed in two or three months.At that time, let Liao Yongzhong guard Sichuan, and Chang Yuchun can also rest.

Not only that, but in the afternoon edict, Lao Zhu also specifically explained that Chang Yuchun would never be allowed to fight in person this time when he entered Shu, otherwise, not only would Chang Yuchun have no military achievements, but he would also punish those around him.

This vigilance and love, anyone who wants to come over there can understand it, and will try their best to stop it.

And then……

Matters such as conferring kings and rewards are also planned to be one year earlier than before.

That being the case, it is probably okay to tell your wife in advance.

Thinking this way, facing Ma Shi who was still staring at him motionlessly, Lao Zhu pondered for a while and said, "Just... well, I will tell you everything on the first day of the first month of the next year."

Mrs. Ma nodded when her husband gave the exact date, and then emphasized: "On the first day of the first lunar month in the third year of Hongwu, I can remember it myself, and my husband can't go back on his word."

"Can I still lie to you?" Lao Zhu smiled and raised his chopsticks: "Eat, eat."

Only then did Madam Ma pick up the chopsticks, but still said: "Even if there is a reason, I still feel that how can I not even marry a regular wife?"

Old Zhu grinned: "You don't have to think too much, your position as wife is secure, let him handle matters of his younger generation."

Being so distracted by her husband, Ma Shi was rarely embarrassed, but didn't say any more.

Because the mind has turned to the things in the copper cabinet again.

and also……

That night, the husband's gaffe.

Biaoer...

That bastard fourth...

Compared to these pimples that have always been in my heart, a certain boy... her husband agreed, so let her forget it.

Mrs. Ma made up his mind, but Lao Zhu didn't finish. He quickly said, "One more, I promised him, but I really can't let it go. There are four women by his side, as you know, there are many documents in daily life , and when you read "Dream of Red Mansions", she is the one who wrote the pen. I told Yuan'er that I will send the fourth daughter over tomorrow, and you, the queen, will carefully advise her to persuade her every weekday. Furthermore, Yuan'er My son is weak, and he can't make a difference in his daily life."

Mrs. Ma also knew the girls who were waiting for Xieyi, because they had praised the diary documents written by them before.However, hearing what her husband said at the moment, Mrs. Ma became displeased: "Husband, Yuan'er is not willing to marry a regular wife because of her every four, is that okay?"

Old Zhu shook his head: "Where Yuan'er is, there is a superficial person who indulges in his children's private affairs. You underestimate him."

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma was even more unhappy, and turned his eyes sideways: "Hey, are you a real man?"

"You..." Old Zhu laughed for a while: "I can't say anything."

Seeing that her husband was speechless, Mrs. Ma also laughed, and nodded along the way, as if she agreed with the matter just now, after thinking about it, she asked again: "Just to meet?"

"It's just that Yuan'er doesn't have a title yet, so I can't confer her every one first," Lao Zhu said, remembering one thing, and then said: "And... about the son, let me explain a few words .”

The couple Zhang Luo married Zhu Yuan for this purpose.

Don't forget.

Hearing this, Mrs. Ma felt a little uncomfortable.However, thinking about the big copper cabinet, there might be some unavoidable reasons, so she didn't say any more.

Instead, he asked about the war in central Shu.

Although in the inner palace, Ma Shi, who has always been well-informed, has already known about the changes in Guanzhong.
