Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 187 Old and young cynics!Zhu Yuanzhang is numb with joy!Zhu Yunqi's killer move! 【Subscribe】

"What kind of people do you think we are?"

With the voice falling.

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback.

He could tell that the old man's temper was a bit stubborn.

He could tell from the conversation in the carriage.

But after all, he is a lifesaver, so it's better not to quarrel
"He understands!"

Li Xiao aimed at the old man in front of him, and used his Xintong again.

【Hmph. Let's see what this kid can say. We are neither that corrupt official nor that damned big businessman.It’s okay to say we have money, it’s okay to say we don’t have money, money is nothing but dirt, our true heart is to care about all people in the world]

"Fuck!"

Li Xiao could see it.

This is an old angry youth.

I look down on both officials and businessmen, and I always feel that I am the best.

This kind of person is the gentry class who failed the imperial examination.

Originally, the family had some money and some property, but not much.

It belongs to neither top nor bottom, medium mix.

Migrate with the times.

This kind of lintel gradually became lonely and became a so-called poor family.

You can't be high, you can't be low, but life is worry-free.

This kind of person has ideals and lofty ideals of governing the country, but has no way to become an official in the court. He can only use his blood on cynicism.

Alright
Knowing this situation, Li Xiao decided to pick up some nice words.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao said: "The old man is neither the first type of person I mentioned, nor the second type. He is the third type!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked. "The third type, which one is it?"

"The third type of person is amazing. This kind of person's ideological realm has been sublimated!"

Li Xiao praised: "This kind of person regards money as dung. In the final analysis, money is a tool to achieve a goal. If you understand this, you will be thorough! This kind of person values ​​the level of thinking of others the most. , rather than money and power! They often have the world in their hearts and care about the common people! They have great talents and know how to govern the country, and they are worried about analyzing the pros and cons of every policy of the country!"

Li Xiao suddenly thought that birds of a feather flock together, people are divided into groups, and cynics only associate with cynics.

He added another sentence: "As the saying goes, there are great scholars in talking and laughing, and there are no white people in dealings. Anyone who can associate with this kind of person is a person with profound knowledge. And old man, you are this kind of person!! I admire you the most in my life That kind of people!"

The voice fell.

Erhu, who was a little nervous at first, was stunned!
Good guy, you guy's flattery is really fucking good!
He knows the Holy Majesty.

The Holy Majesty would sneer at the flattery of those ministers.

I stayed in the palace for a few years and didn't go out, but in the past, I often visited the people and asked the people how the sage is doing today.

If the people say that the Holy One is good, the Holy One will be very happy.

But if the people say it is not good, he will blame himself and feel that he is not good enough.

But this kid, after so many years, is definitely the one who has boasted the most level!
Who doesn't like being praised?

Even the emperor was not spared.

If you want to take pictures of Zhu Yuanzhang's horses, the effect is best only when you don't know Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, but people who don't know his identity usually don't praise it.
But Li Xiao did it!
Without knowing it, he boasted to Zhu Yuanzhang for a while.
"Good! Well said!"

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned, brows beaming with joy, "That's right, we are the third type of people you mentioned, and we care about the world. Little brother, we hit it off with you, we are destined, destined!"

Zhu Yuanzhang has not heard such praise for a long time.

Of course, it was praised by someone who didn't know his identity, so it was very refreshing.

During this period of time, his bidder was gone, and he was in a bad mood, and the matter of establishing a crown prince also exhausted him physically and mentally.

Just now, this bad mood has been released a lot, and the black cloud on his forehead has also dissipated a lot.

"If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, if you don't have the destiny to meet each other face to face!"

Seeing that the old man is also a bold personality, Li Xiao thought it was very interesting, and said with a smile: "From now on, we will be friends, what do you want to hear, let me tell you, let's learn from each other."

"Okay, as you said, you are here to recuperate your injuries during this time, and we will sit and discuss with you and talk about the world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Seeing his happy and excited look, Li Xiao thought to himself that he guessed right.

He is indeed an old cynic, he talks about the world with his mouth, but he keeps his mouth shut about the common people. But it is also quite interesting, because in my previous life, I was also a little cynic.

When the cynic sees the cynic, his eyes are full of tears!
Found a confidant in Daming
"correct."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did this kid praise us so well, he probably knew his identity, but he didn't look like him, let's give him a try.

"What do you think, the current Holy Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

If this guy keeps praising us, I'm afraid it's a bit tricky.

"How dare I speak falsely about my majesty?"

Li Xiao shook his head like a rattle, talking about politics was fine, those literati would talk about it in private, and some even wrote satirical books, but talking about the Holy Majesty was fine.

Zhu Yuanzhang's knife is so fast that my neck can't stop it.

"Zhang Hu, you step back."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and then the two tigers immediately left the room and closed the door.

Li Xiao didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, and then he heard the old angry youth suddenly say: "We think that the current emperor is not very good, corrupt officials are rampant, and there are still people everywhere who can't eat."

"We feel that the current Holy Majesty is not worthy of sitting in that position at all!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became ruthless and even scolded himself.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Xiao: "Look, we're all scolding now, what are you afraid of? Say whatever you want, we just like to chat with you."

shocked.

Li Xiao was stunned.

This cynic is a real cynic, even the Holy Majesty dares to scold him!
Li Xiao was surprised and said: "Old man, I admire you, but you can only talk about it in front of me, and you must not say it outside, or you will lose your head."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "You can say now, how is the current emperor?"

Li Xiao smiled helplessly.

The Holy One is still his relative, and he is Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson-in-law.

"Today's sage is a hero who overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. He is an emperor through the ages. He is a person who can be talked about with Qin Huang Han Wu."

Li Xiao boasted loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy again, thinking, this kid is praising us again. But why are we so happy in our hearts? Does this kid know our identity?
After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You boy, we just scolded the current sage, but you praised the sage that you did it on purpose."

"Praise, you must praise!"

Li Xiao said boldly: "The sage Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty, but he still did not slack off and worked hard day and night. There is no one like him in all dynasties who is still so diligent after becoming the emperor.

He returned the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which had been lost for more than 400 years, to the hands of the Han people.

Let Yunnan, which has been lost for more than 800 years, become an inherent territory.

Let the Hexi Corridor, which has been lost for more than 500 years, return to rule.

The holy Zhu Yuanzhang, in more than 20 years, has completed the expansion of the territory expanded by the four emperors of Han, Gao, Wen, Jing and Wu! ! !
In terms of culture, education is emphasized, new schools are built, new imperial examinations are held, talents are selected, and Han etiquette is revived.

In politics, corrupt officials are severely punished, old-age care is advocated, and filial piety is promoted.

In terms of economy, pay attention to recuperation, encourage reclamation, build new water conservancy, immigrate to supplement the population, develop production, and let the country's productivity recover quickly! !

Now the population of the arable land of the Ming Dynasty exceeds the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty!
The current Holy Majesty is the only monarch in history who has no background, took over from scratch, and built a country that has gone through decades of wars into a world-class empire! !
The Holy One is kind to the people, ruthless to the officials, and strict to himself!
In my mind, Zhu Yuanzhang is a well-deserved emperor through the ages, and his achievements are not inferior to Qin Shihuang! "

Li Xiao summed up Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements in his life in one breath.

In the end, I also boast that one emperor through the ages is not inferior to Qin Shihuang.

This level of praise, I have to say, is wonderful!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already blossomed in his heart when he heard it.

Now, he doesn't care whether Li Xiao sees his identity or not.

Because this kid is telling the truth!
Even if he could see his identity, he didn't care anymore.

That's right!

These are all things we do!
What is there to avoid?
Our achievements will be known to future generations through the ages! !
Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly: "In your heart, is Zhu Yuanzhang such a person?"

"Killing millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, the sword at the waist is still bloody! The old monk doesn't know the heroes, so he just asks for their names."

Li Xiao only felt that he was also full of spirits, and said: "This is when Zhu Yuanzhang stayed at a temple called Buruo'an in Anhui, he wrote this poem.

Listen, how high-spirited, how ambitious! !

I can only admire, I will never be such a hero! ! "

numb.

Totally amused!
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that someone praised himself with a poem he wrote.

This feeling is cool, very cool! ! !
That's right, at that time, I was young and frivolous, high-spirited.

Hearing the poems of the past, he couldn't help but think back to the era when there were wars and heroes fighting for the front. Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Wang Baobao
"You put it that way, we look at Zhu Yuanzhang differently."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded himself.

Li Xiao said with emotion: "It's a pity. I haven't seen this hero until now. I still have a poem that I want to dedicate to the Holy One."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Xiao didn't seem to know his identity.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "It's up to you? Even a bum wants to see His Majesty? I haven't even seen him."

Li Xiao was mysterious, and whispered: "Old man, to be honest, I actually have a little relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang."

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know that if he hadn't had such a relationship with Li Xiao, he would have gone to great lengths to meet him like this?
However, he still pretended not to believe it, and teased: "Just you? Who would believe it? Let's say that he is a relative of Zhu Yuanzhang."

Li Xiao said: "Your surname is Huang, so you have nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your surname is Li, so you have something to do with Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Li Xiao: "."

This old man is indeed very smart, which is one of the characteristics of angry youth.

"However, you just said that you wanted to dedicate a poem to the Holy Majesty, but you should come and listen to it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said very curiously, feeling itchy again.

Li Xiao shook his head: "I can't say this, what if I say it and you leak it, then am I blind for nothing?"

"Why do you look at people like this, young man? Are we like that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily: "Your words are very appetizing. If you say the last sentence but don't say the next sentence, it's okay if you don't say it. If you say it, we will feel itchy. You say it, we promise, we will never spread it. We will do it anyway. I saved your life, and just now I said that the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring. You are repaying your kindness, can't you be duplicity?"

Sweat dripped from Li Xiao's forehead.

After thinking about it, the old man did save himself.

If he doesn't reveal it, it's not impossible to say it.

"He understands!"

Li Xiao aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang again.

[This young man is really anxious to death, but you said, will we spread the word?Pass the fart, who can we pass it to]

Uh.
After listening to my heart.

Li Xiao thought in his heart, it seems that he really blamed this old man by mistake, the angry youth belong to the angry youth, but he does not speak behind his back, he is very upright.

"alright."

Li Xiao gave in, and said with a smile, "If you want to hear it, I'll tell you, but it's an agreement, and it must not be passed on."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Never spread the word, let's keep what we say."

He said in his heart, this poem of yours is dedicated to us, I will give you this opportunity to see how you praise us
"Qinyuanchun·Snow."

Li Xiao spoke.

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down instantly.

"The scenery of the northern country is frozen for thousands of miles, and snow drifts for thousands of miles."

"Looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, there is nothing but Mangmang; the river goes up and down, and it suddenly loses its surging flow."

The voice fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang has slowly sank into it.

A picture seems to emerge in front of my eyes, the world is frozen, and the snow is falling for thousands of miles
A sense of heroism poured into my heart, as if I was on the Great Wall, overlooking the earth, mountains, rivers, common people, and the world! !

"Mountain dance silver snake, Yuanchi wax figure, I want to compete with the god of heaven."

"On a sunny day, looking at the red dress, it is extraordinarily enchanting."

This is a sentence that expresses the ambition in the heart.

The mountains are flying like silver pythons.

The hills on the plateau are like many white elephants running.

They all want to compare themselves with God.

It is very beautiful to wait until the sunny day to see the bright red sunshine and the white snow and ice complement each other.

The strong contrast between before and after creates strong emotions.

Just like the Yuan Dynasty in the past and the Ming Dynasty now.

Thousands of miles of ice, isn't it talking about the violent Yuan, the picturesque mountains and mountains, extraordinarily enchanting, isn't it talking about our Daming! !
Li Xiao recited, even himself immersed in the heroic artistic conception of this poem.

And the words that followed made Zhu Yuanzhang's soul tremble even more.

"The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to compete."

"I feel sorry for Emperor Qin and Han Wu, who lost a little literary talent; Tang Zong and Song Zu were a little less coquettish."

"A generation of arrogance, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle."

"It's all in the past, count the romantic figures, and look at the present!"

Quiet!

Quiet!

Still quiet!

In the whole house, not a single sound could be heard!
The room was silent, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Contrary to the quietness in this room, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart!

In his heart, the lack is like a wave, turbulent and ups and downs, and the turbulent waves hit the shore!
There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers that attract countless heroes!
Looking back on the past, what an era it was, when all the heroes in the world rose up, and the heroes fought for the top, and what they were fighting for was this country, the world.

Only yourself!

Have the last laugh, go to the end!
Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were slightly less talented in literature.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty were slightly inferior to the merits of Wenzhi.

Genghis Khan, who ruled the roost for the first time, only knew how to draw a bow and shoot a big eagle.

All these characters are gone!
All will become the past with the progress of history!
To be called a hero who can make great achievements depends on today's Daming!

"Good! Good words! Good words!"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang recovered from the shock, and his heart was extremely excited.

He likes this song so much! !

Isn't it about the Ming Dynasty that was built with hard work?

We are an emperor through the ages, and our achievements will be passed down to future generations!

And our achievements will not be forgotten by future generations, and will be praised by countless people!
"Li Xiao, did you write this poem?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked excitedly.

"Not really."

Li Xiao shook his head: "This is written by a person I like very much, and this person also likes the current Holy Majesty very much."

Li Xiao didn't dare to misrecognize this word.

It was written by a man he greatly admired.

What Li Xiao said was also true.

This great man has read the 24 histories, especially the Ming history.

I recognize Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di very much.

I once said that there were only these two people in the Ming Dynasty, and they did better.

When holding the Peasant Movement Seminar, one lecture on peasant issues mentioned Zhu Yuanzhang's development after he first entered Guo Zixing's barracks, saying:

"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk. He usually fell asleep and took the shape of the "Son of Heaven". , so it can be honored as the Son of Heaven."

He also praised Zhu Yuanzhang's military ability, saying: Since ancient times, there is no one on the right of Li Shimin in the army, followed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion: "We really want to meet the person you mentioned, who has a literary talent through the ages!"

Li Xiao smiled slightly, thinking that he might not see him.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang was immersed in joy, which was beyond words.

"Huh, that's not right. You said just now that the Holy Spirit is unworthy. Why are you so happy when you hear this poem?"

Li Xiao asked strangely.

What's wrong with this old man?Are you not angry? ?
"Cough cough."

Zhu Yuanzhang realized that he had lost his composure. He cleared his throat and regained his composure, and said, "One size counts for one size. We are happy because this poem is well written, not because you praised the Holy One."

Li Xiao: "Okay."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I didn't expect your kid to have such a high opinion of the Holy One. Is there nothing wrong with it?"

"Of course there is."

Li Xiao said without hesitation: "There are too many problems."

Li Xiao thought to himself that although Zhu Yuanzhang had made great achievements, he was only an ancient emperor after all. In that era, it was not bad to be able to reach the current level.

It is understandable that vision has limitations.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he has adopted absurd policies.

Hearing such words, Zhu Yuanzhang has no temper now.

After all, there is a foreshadowing of the praise just now. Pearls and jade are in the front, and tiles and stones are hard to be. With such a high evaluation in the front, there are some small shortcomings in the back, so there is nothing wrong with it.

How can people who are not saints and sages have no faults?
Zhu Yuanzhang made a sound of listening: "I know that you and we are all the same way. We don't like to hear what you said just now. We like you to talk about the shortcomings of the Holy One. Let's listen to it."

Sure enough, it was an angry youth. Li Xiao shook his head and said, "Old man, the Holy One is really my relative. It's not good for me to talk about people like this behind my back."

These words warmed Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

This kid still has a little conscience, but today you have to say it, and we have to listen.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Even if the Holy Majesty is your relative, isn't there a saying that you can't avoid your relatives if you raise a virtuous person, and you can't avoid suspicion if you raise your relatives? Even if the Holy Majesty is your relative, he is also the Holy Majesty of the people in the world, so you have to let the people of the world come." evaluate."

"Hey, what you said seems to make sense."

Li Xiao nodded, feeling that this old man still has some skills.

"Okay, then I'll talk about it, the first thing is the temper of the Holy One."

"What's your temper?"

Li Xiao wiped his nose with his hand, "The temper is too bad."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly unhappy.

He knew his temper, and he was indeed in a bad temper.

But this grandson-in-law is the first one who dares to say that he has a bad temper to his face!
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "You still said that you have never met the Holy Majesty, how do you know that the Holy Majesty has a bad temper?"

Li Xiao retorted: "You haven't met the Holy One, so how can you say that the Holy One is not worthy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless again.

This kid has absolutely no idea of ​​his identity.

If I knew, I'm afraid I would never dare to say that.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to compromise, saying: "Then tell me, what's wrong with the Holy One's temper?"

Li Xiaodao: "It goes without saying? Which official in the world does not scold a few words in his heart? In the Ming Dynasty, who is not trembling? The case of Hu Weiyong in Hongwu in 13 years, the case of Kongyin in 15 years, and the case of Guo Heng in 18 years. How many people died?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said, "Those are all corrupt officials, they should be killed. We think that the Holy Majesty is right to kill them, and they killed them well."

Li Xiaodao: "Corrupt officials should indeed be killed, but many of them have been wronged. Besides, corrupt officials were not corrupt officials in the beginning. They were also passionate students in the beginning, but In the end, they joined forces and became corrupt officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "In the final analysis, you still speak for those corrupt officials. You kid, you must be a corrupt official too."

"Hey, hey, hey, you can't frame me."

Li Xiao hastily waved his hands: "You are slander, slander! I hate corrupt officials the most in my life. You can't say that I am a corrupt official. I am Qingtian, Daming Li Qingtian."

During this period of time as the magistrate of the county, the happiest thing for Li Xiao in the county was to walk on the street, and countless people saw him and said that he was the master of Qingtian.

Don't tell me, it's really cool to be called that by people!

Therefore, Li Xiao seemed a little excited.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

Reputation can't be ruined
When Li Xiao came to the Ming Dynasty, he also wanted to leave some traces in history to prove himself.

I can't become a character like Zhu Yuanzhang, but I can become a character like 'Bao Qingtian'!
Hundreds of years later, Li Xiao started to open the history books.

It is also recorded in history that Daming had Li Qingtian, how much energy is there?
"What are you excited about?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "Whether you are a corrupt official or not is another story, but you did speak for corrupt officials just now."

Li Xiao shook his head: "It's not about speaking for corrupt officials, but old man, have you ever thought about it, the Ming Dynasty is the harshest and most severe in dealing with corrupt officials!
The law of the Ming Dynasty reads: Anyone who embezzles more than 60 taels of silver will be killed immediately!

The magistrates in many places have been killed and vacant, and there is no one to do business.

There are also cases of death penalty and exile.
Already done this.

But why are there more corrupt officials than in previous dynasties? "

The voice fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but startled, not knowing how to answer.

This question is not just raised by Li Xiao.

He has already proposed to himself countless times.

The strictest laws were instituted against corruption.

Numerous tortures were set up to deter officials.

But these officials still went on and on, like a group of soldiers who were not afraid of death, they went to the torture tools in groups and died generously.

Why?

He couldn't find the answer either.

Zhu Yuanzhang cast his eyes on Li Xiao: "Tell me, why?"

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Just now in the carriage, I discussed the first point with you, the old man. I feel wronged because the money was not paid. Now let's talk about the second point."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

He was still thinking about the second point.

Li Xiao said: "The second point is that the system is not right. This anti-corruption is carried out on the will of the Holy One, and there is no set of effective measures in terms of court regulations. It should rely on the system, not the criminal law." .”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tell me about it."

Li Xiao explained: "The main reason is that there is too much power! Higher-level officials have the power of life and death over lower-level officials.

I didn't say it before, because of the first reason, it leads to corruption.

The first batch of corrupt officials was born.

When the boss is corrupt, it is generally difficult for the subordinates to be alone.

If you don't agree with others, you will be slandered at the least, and you will be punished if you are more serious.

In order to protect themselves, officials at all levels or those who have just entered the job must flatter their superiors and curry favor with their chiefs.

When a new official is promoted, he has already become a corrupt official, and he will only treat the people below in the same way.

Just like a snowball, it gets bigger and bigger!

Therefore, no matter how severe the punishment is, it cannot be stopped.

Because this snowball has formed! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard these words, and said, "The power is too great. In other words, the Holy One made a mistake in the first step?"

It suddenly occurred to him that he had read history books some time ago and understood the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

He studied day and night, and finally came up with an answer. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin made a wrong move at the beginning, and made a mistake in setting up the capital city, which led to repeated mistakes, and finally died! !

Did you make this mistake yourself? ?

Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, His Majesty made a mistake in his first step. He gave officials too much power, and power is a double-edged sword. A great representative of power means that he is a good official and has the courage to do more. There are so many good things. But once you are a bad official, you can control more people. Three people become tigers, and they work for tigers. Even if someone wants to do good things, he has no choice but to join forces!!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiao gave an example and said:

"To tell you the truth, I'm actually a small county magistrate, but after I took office, I found that my power is astonishingly great.

If I want to be corrupt and the people below refuse to accept me, I can punish them.

But if I want to be a good official above the official, I need to manage and be filial. This salary is not enough. I have to be greedy, right?

But I am not greedy, why?
Because I am a relative of the Holy One, they dare not touch me.

You know, only a powerful person like me dares to be an official and do practical things!
Do you dare to inform the county?
He dare not!

Those who have a little conscience will become an upright official and don't plan to be promoted.

Those who have no conscience directly join forces.

Do you know? The people below all praise me as Master Qingtian! ! "

Talking,

Li Xiao couldn't help but praise himself again, he is really great!
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

Li Xiao is the matter of Master Qingtian, he has already confirmed it.

But now he realizes that it is so hard to be the Master Qingtian
Only such powerful people can do it.

Because of the small amount of money given, corruption has already formed.

People below are not allowed to rebel against officials above
Because of the small amount of money given, many people feel wronged, and many people take the initiative to corrupt.
A vicious circle has formed, which is very similar to the "snowball" explained by Li Xiao.

Makes sense, really makes sense.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this theory for the first time, and analyzed the problem from an angle he had never heard before.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "You mean, the Holy One made a mistake in the first step, so how can we save it?"

Li Xiao shook his head: "It's hard to eradicate it. Only by slowly improving the treatment of officials and controlling the power in their hands will it be much better."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Since the first batch of corruption has been formed, let's kill them all."

Li Xiao: "."

Li Xiao said helplessly: "Killing them all won't do. How greedy those officials are, some are a little greedy, and some are not. Can you tell the whole world of officials? Kill them all, and no one will do anything. It's unrealistic."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "We're just kidding, but you're serious, isn't this just a joke?"

Li Xiao: "."

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually in a good mood.

After all, after so many years, no one dared to tell him what was in his heart.

Li Xiao is a great talent, that's for sure.

what he said
Believable, but not entirely trustworthy.

After all, it was Li Xiao's first time as an official, and he was still a small magistrate. Judging from what he said just now, most of what he mentioned was from the magistrate's perspective.

Especially, when he said "thousands of threads above, and one needle below".

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that he was a magistrate, and he was really good. No magistrate could speak such simple and simple truths.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "Most of what you said is just your conjecture, which cannot be verified."

"It can be confirmed."

Li Xiao laughed, "As I said just now, I am Lord Qingtian. To be honest, I am a county magistrate in Beiping Prefecture. You can go and see it if you have a chance. I have implemented it according to my idea."

"Oh. You are really a county magistrate, so let's discuss more when we have time."

Zhu Yuanzhang became interested and said, "Tell me, how did you implement it?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Didn't I say that, the money is not in place, I feel wronged 33333, I will solve it for them."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How to solve it?"

Li Xiaodao: "I raised their salaries and paid them silver! I also gave them some time off. They only need to work for four hours a day, take two days off every seven days, and also take a bath on holidays. In this way, the money is in place, and the mood It’s also fun, and it’s easy to do things.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback.

OK!

He didn't know about it.

It's unreasonable for this kid to tamper with his salary standards and working hours! !
Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be calm and said: "You are so courageous, aren't you afraid that the Holy Majesty will cut off your head?"

"Which reform did not bleed?"

Li Xiaodao: "Li Kui's reforms, selection of talents and appointments, strict rewards and punishments. Shang Yang's reforms, abolishing well fields, emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, rewarding military merits, implementing unified measurement and establishing a county system, and strengthening the Qin State. Wang Anshi's reforms in the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi developed production, Wealthy country and strong army.”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "But their endings don't seem to be very good."

Li Xiao said: "I know."

"So brave!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly puzzled: "So, you are doing it for righteousness, for the country and the people?"

"Do not."

Li Xiao shook his head: "I am for my wife."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "?????"

Zhu Yuanzhang had thousands of calculations, but Li Xiao didn't expect this sentence to come out suddenly.

Almost broke his old waist.

"It's unreasonable, isn't it?"

Li Xiao looked out the window, showing a happy smile: "I have a lover, the love of my life!!

I can do anything for her!

You can go to the nine heavens to embrace the moon, and go to the five oceans to catch turtles for her.

I wish to give her all the best things in the world and to satisfy her every desire.

She said she wanted to see a flourishing Daming.

I will give her a flourishing age! !

At that time, I can openly and honestly say to her:
This prosperous world is as you wish."

As he said that, Li Xiao's eyes shone brightly towards his lover.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Xiao quietly.

This is impossible to pretend
It turns out that the grandson-in-law loves his granddaughter so much.

He couldn't help feeling relieved for his granddaughter.

this man.

Do not seek wealth, do not seek glory.

Give everything to the one you love, everything that is good!
He wanted to change his ways and wanted to create a prosperous and prosperous Ming Dynasty.

He is not for himself, but for his lover!

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, and he recalled the face of his sister Ma, who used to be so gentle
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, and said, "Could it be... Isn't this Ming Dynasty a prosperous age?"

Li Xiao thought of those poor people he met in the south, and shook his head:

"It's not enough, it's not enough! I want people all over the world to be able to learn, to be taught, to be paid for work, to be healed for illness, to be cared for when they are old, and to live in a place to live. This is the prosperous Ming Dynasty in my mind. My daughter-in-law, take a look at such a prosperous world!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

What a lofty goal.
There is teaching for learning, income for work, medical treatment for illness, support for old age, and housing for living.

Can this be called a prosperous age?

Saying it out is exciting!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang recognized this grandson-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

After a long time, he got up slowly, and said, "I think, if the Holy Majesty knew what you were thinking, even if you messed up a bit, he wouldn't blame you."

Li Xiao laughed and said: "That's not true, the Holy Majesty is related to me. Besides, the Holy Majesty is very defensive, and usually doesn't kill family members."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "."

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

The good atmosphere was ruined by you kid, who said I won't kill my family?
"Remember what you said today, Shengshi Daming, we will remember it."

After leaving these words, Zhu Yuanzhang returned his sleeves, turned around and opened the door, and left the room.

Ah this
Li Xiao's head was full of black lines.

Well, old man, he has a really weird temper, he doesn't even say hello when he leaves.

Afterwards, Erhu walked in and said with a smile: "Young Master Li, the Patriarch asked me to stay and take care of you, so you can recover from your illness at ease, and he said he will come to see you."

"Oh."

Li Xiao nodded, feeling that today was a good time to chat, and asked curiously: "By the way, Zhang Hu, what does your master do?"

The two tigers thought for a while: "Plowing the fields."

Zhu Yuanzhang used to be a farmer, just to hide his identity.

Li Xiao was slightly taken aback.
Why is a farmer so angry
Immediately, he realized that he was definitely not a farmer.
It should be a landlord, um, it should be like this, at least a big landlord.

That's it.

The conversation ended there.

Li Xiao also relieved his boredom, but after the old man left, he felt a little bored again.

So, telepathy
[Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry, something happened on the road, you know, when the road is injustice, you draw your sword to help, just like when we went south for our honeymoon and encountered bad guys, it would take a few days to delay]

Nanjing City, the residence of King Yan.

Zhu Di sat in the room.

Yebuguiju Chen walked slowly and secretly, and cupped his hands:
"Your Highness, it was found out today that the Holy Majesty was dressed in civilian clothes, pretending to be a commoner, and left Nanjing City with Erhu, the commander of Jinyiwei."

"what"

Zhu Di was a little curious: "What are you doing out of the city?"

Ju Chendao: "The sage went out of the city and closed a section of the road. As for what happened on that section of the road, I don't know. The Jinyiwei nearby are Erhu's confidantes and cannot penetrate. I don't dare to go too far rashly. Probe close so as not to be detected."

Zhu Di was slightly taken aback.

Why did the Holy Majesty close the road? What is this for?
Can't figure it out
However, Zhu Di still nodded: "It's right not to approach rashly. Now the Holy Majesty's intentions have been tilted towards this king. For the sake of stability, we must not show our feet. In the future, we should pay more attention to the investigation."

Ju Chen cupped his hands: "Yes, I know under the bid."

Zhu Di said again: "Well, you go to find out if there are any important people coming to the capital or leaving the capital on the road recently."

Now the critical moment has to be guarded against.

If another person like "Fang Xiaoru" appears to spoil his good deeds, the loss outweighs the gain.

"Take the lead!"

Ju Chen bowed and disappeared into the night again.

And Zhu Di was slightly in a daze.

"Father, father, you are really getting harder and harder to guess."

at the same time.

East Palace.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were both in the room.

Discuss matters secretly with the crown princess Lu Shi and Zhu Yunqi.

"Second gentlemen, what's going on here?"

Mrs. Lu was very anxious, and said: "Since the hunting, the Holy Majesty has loved my son very much, and it is obvious that there are signs of success. But why suddenly, the attitude seems to favor King Yan more? My concubine heard that the day before yesterday they Have dinner alone with King Yan's family."

Huang Zicheng was completely dumbfounded, and said, "I'm afraid it's just a meal, nothing to worry about."

Qi Tai held a different opinion, and said: "I don't think so, why is King Yan eating at this time? This is indeed a signal, a signal that favors King Yan! We must be vigilant."

Huang Zicheng was a little displeased, and said, "Aren't you worrying too much? Isn't it just a meal, what does that mean?"

Qi Tai shook his head: "Absolutely not. The Holy Majesty will never show affection to King Yan for no reason. Think about it, everyone. King Yan is very capable. If he really wants King Yan, he will definitely have a close relationship with his father and son, just like the old one. Prince Zhu Biao is average."

The voice fell.

Everyone's expression changed, and they felt that it was very reasonable.

At this time, a guard came to report.

"Crown Princess, there is a beggar who calls himself Tie Xuan outside the door!"

"Tie Hyun?"

Qi Tai was slightly taken aback, and said strangely: "Some time ago we were moved with affection and reason, and he rejected it justly. How could he take the initiative to find us?"

Qi Tai said: "Let him come in and see what he is going to do."

Mrs. Lu understood, waved her hand, and the guards invited him in.

Tie Xuan was an extremely thin man, hunched over, and hurried over.

He looked anxious: "The lower official has something to say."

Mrs. Lu nodded: "Master Tie, please tell me."

Tie Xuan said excitedly: "King Yan must not be allowed to be crown prince, it's too scary, too scary!"

Tie Xuan looked excited, and the blood vessels and veins on his face burst a little.

Lu's face brightened, and he said: "Master Tie, don't worry, speak slowly. There are no outsiders here, they are all our own people, and you are also our own people."

Tie Xuan nodded and said: "During this period of time, the reason why the Holy Majesty favored King Yan is all because of one person who changed the Holy Majesty's mind."

Qi Tai excitedly asked: "Who?"

Tie Xuan said: "Li Xiao!"

Qi Tai: "Why?"

Tie Xuan said: "You don't know yet, some time ago the Holy One asked the price of cloth in the streets of Nanjing.

And in the Great Bright Monthly Newsletter, there was also news about very cheap cloth.

The two are definitely related!

In addition, Li Xiao was called Lord Qingtian by the people in the county under his jurisdiction, and this must not be hidden from the Holy Majesty.

It is conceivable that the Holy Majesty was blinded by that Li Xiao! !This Li Xiao is really powerful, do what he likes!The scheming is very powerful! "

hiss!
After the voice fell, everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder the Holy Majesty's recent change of direction was actually because of Li Xiao.

So the person they should deal with is Li Xiao?
Qi Tai asked: "Tie Xuan, what do you mean by what you just said is too scary?"

"This is the worry of the subordinate!! Even the Holy Majesty has been deceived by him!"

Tie Xuan clapped his hands excitedly, spit flying all over the place:

"The lower official also just learned that he has a son-in-law named Li Xiao.

This person is daring, reckless, and has evil intentions! !
Completely and blatantly tampering with the laws of Ming Dynasty.

This person is definitely a disaster, a big disaster!

He dares to change the law today, but he dares to establish the law himself tomorrow if he is not sure.

Dare to change the country name the day after tomorrow!
This is the first time that Xiaguan is such a bold person!
This person is fledgling at this time, but he is already so terrifying, and his scheming is clear!

If King Yan wins the position of crown prince, it will be the time when he will show his sharpness and minions!

He will be the next Sapphire!
No, a person more terrifying than Sapphire!Sapphire dare not tamper with Ming Law! "

hiss!
Everyone gasped.

It turns out that everything was secretly planned by Li Xiao! !

This son, Yi Bin'er, can actually control the holy will, it's really terrifying!
Everyone was shocked and their faces changed drastically.

At this time, only Qi Tai discovered the crux of the problem, and said excitedly: "You said that Li Xiao dared to tamper with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, is it true?"

"Absolutely true!!"

Tie Xuan justice Ling Ran, said:

"I have a classmate who came from Beiping to chat with me, so he talked about it. Li Xiao set up a dormitory without authorization, trying to add more imperial institutions! This is one of them!
Second, all officials in Dong'an County, there are ninth-rank officials and subordinate officials, but their salaries are already equal to those of sixth-rank officials, and it is a crime to increase their salaries without authorization.

Third, Li Xiao arbitrarily changed the working hours set by His Majesty. He only needs to work for four hours a day, with two days off every seven days, and holidays are also off!It is a crime to change the schedule without authorization! "

The voice fell.

Everyone was stunned again.

This Li Xiao is really bold.

The Ming Dynasty was the first person who dared to do this directly! !

Qi Tai thought to himself, hey, the salary is added, the rest time is added, and the organization management is added, why does it feel pretty good? Wait, I'm on Zhu Yunqi's side.
Qi Tai looked excited and said: "Does His Majesty know?"

Tie Xuan shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know."

Lu's brows were also beaming with joy, she just found out that it was Li Xiao who changed the Holy Majesty's mind.

They have to deal with Li Xiaocai.

But the good news is that they came together, and Li Xiao has a handle on it!
Double happiness, double happiness! !
Huang Zicheng also came to his senses at this time, "This person deserves to be punished for his crimes! Tomorrow I will go to court to impeach Yibin Li Xiao! Kill this thief! Eliminate a great disaster for Ming Dynasty!"

Mrs. Lu bowed: "I'm sorry to trouble everyone."

Zhu Yunwen also cupped his hands excitedly and said: "You guys will never dare to forget the kindness you have received!! When I succeed, I will definitely thank you very much!"
