Daming: Let you supervise the country according to the order, and you go to cultivate immortals?

Chapter 22 Scholars (seeking to follow up!)

The Forbidden City, outside Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so weak that he could hardly even stand up, was wearing an imperial robe and supporting his sick body. With the support of the palace servants, he leaned on a cane and looked into the distance.

And in front of the Guangting, a white-haired figure ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang at a trot.

When the two were only three feet away, Liu Bowen stopped, knelt down, and kowtowed.

"Sir Liu Ji, pay homage to the emperor."

"Mr. Liu, you are here, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lao Zhu looked at Liu Bowen who was saluting, and smiled, just like seeing him for the first time.

Liu Ji's heart trembled violently. Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't called him Mr. Liu for many years.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang came to the throne, it has been difficult to find the original heart between the monarch and his ministers.

He still remembered that when he was extremely disappointed with the Yuan court, he resigned and retired to his hometown in Qingtian.

When the two met for the first time, it was as if Xuande Kong Minglong was in a match. Liu Ji made a plan for Zhu Yuanzhang to be an emperor first and then Zhang.

"Let's go together."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand slightly, signaling the supporting palace servants to step back.

"According to the order."

Liu Ji got up and stepped forward to help Zhu Yuanzhang.

An 88-year-old white-haired old man and a 71-year-old gray-haired old man are walking slowly in the courtyard of Fengtian Temple, which symbolizes the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, recalling the past.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Since the first time I met you, we have always regarded you as a living god in our hearts, and none of the ideas you have given us are shocking and great."

"We still remember that in the Battle of Poyang Lake, Chen Youliang led an army of 60 to suppress the border, and all the generals advised us to abandon the city and flee. It was you who stood up and sternly said, 'Everyone who flees should be killed', which strengthened our determination not to retreat in the face of battle. , It was you who planned and deployed for us, and borrowed Dongfenghuogong."

"After the founding of the country, we only made you an earl. We know that you have resentment in your heart, but we also want to protect you. If we give you a duke, I'm afraid the book of impeachment would have buried our desk long ago."

The two talked while walking.

Most of it was Lao Zhu talking, and Liu Ji listened quietly.

Liu Ji knew in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang was straightforward and purposeful.

Calling him here today is definitely not to reminisce about the old days with him. Reminiscing about the past is just a foreshadowing. Zhu Yuanzhang must have entrusted him with important matters related to the state system.

Liu Ji smiled.

He didn't complain about the knighthood that Lao Zhu said. On the contrary, he was very glad that Lao Zhu only gave him an earl. He is not an old man from Huaixi. more hostile.

The two walked to the end of the courtyard outside Fengtian Hall, and Lao Zhu paused.

"We called you here today to give you an imperial decree."

"It can also be called a will."

Hearing the word "legacy", Liu Ji straightened his face and stopped supporting Zhu Yuanzhang. Instead, he took two small steps forward, turned around and knelt down respectfully, with his head bowed and his palms facing upwards.

At this moment, Lao Zhu also put away his reminiscence and kindness just now, and his eyes are full of imperial domineering.

The hand on crutches was raised slightly, and the palace servants following behind trotted forward, and bowed to catch Lao Zhu's crutches.

Then Lao Zhu straightened his back as much as possible, and raised his other hand. Another palace man had already prepared it, and he bent down, holding an open sandalwood box with both hands, and there was an imperial decree in the box.

Lao Zhu took out the imperial edict, tried his best not to shake his hands, and slowly placed the imperial edict in Liu Ji's palms.

"Family and state affairs, today, I will pay Mr. Liu."

This time, Lao Zhu used the word '望'.

………………

Taisun Mansion, outside the mansion.

Baiguan was still kneeling, but apart from the soreness in his knees, there was no major problem.

Because at this time, there were large canopy umbrellas standing upright to shade all the officials, and the guards of the Taisun Mansion carried buckets of sour plum soup and beef patties, and distributed them one by one.

First a slap, and then a jujube.

The grievances of the officials clearly dissipated a lot, and many even began to thank His Highness the Grandson, secretly reflecting on whether their behavior today was in line with etiquette, and made up their minds to work hard from now on and never toss, in order to repay The kindness of His Royal Highness Taisun.

There is a disease called what.

Stockholm Syndrome.

And in the mansion, the Hall of Eternal Life.

Zhu Xiongying was lying on the sofa chair. The two sisters, Wen Yun and Wen Yu, were summoned to pinch his back and beat his shoulders to feed him grapes. Their jade fingers were like green onions, and their strength was just right.

As for why I eat grapes every time, the main reason is that there are really no fruits in this era.

Master Zhu looked at the three people standing in front of him with great interest.

All three Yang took a small green pill that was just out of the oven. After taking the medicine, the three of them stared wide-eyed. They didn't know what His Royal Highness was going to do, and their hearts were full of guesses about the pill they just took.

"Listen well, come and ask, you answer."

The three of them became serious when they heard the voice.

Zhu Xiongying first looked at Yang Shiqi, and then at Yang Rong and Yang Pu.

"What do you two think of Yang Shiqi's academic performance?"

Among the three Yangs, Yang Shiqi is the most learned, which is clearly recorded in history. Otherwise, in the original history, Yang Shiqi would not have been called to compile the Taizu Shilu in vain, and he was awarded the Imperial Academy to edit it, and then entered the temple.

Both Yang Rong and Yang Pu were taken aback.

What is the answer to this question?
We are all scholars, and the most important thing for scholars is to save face, even if you bite your teeth, you will not tear your face, and you will not refute your face.

Let alone evaluating Yang Shiqi, even an ordinary scholar would praise a few words.

Yang Rong smiled slightly, then looked at Yang Shiqi, and said loudly.

"Yang Shiqi only knows a few history books, so it's nothing."

Just finished speaking.

Yang Shiqi was stunned, and then there was fury in the honest man's eyes.

Yang Pu next to him almost didn't laugh out loud.

Yang Rong was also dumbfounded.

What happened?
'What I want to say is that brother Shi Qi is a great talent in this world because he is talented and knowledgeable from ancient to modern times! '

"Yang Pu, what do you think?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Yang Pu again.

Yang Pu turned around and bowed slightly to Yang Shiqi.

"Yang Shiqi is good at learning, not as good as me."

The Hall of Eternal Life fell into dead silence for an instant.

Yang Pu who just finished speaking is also stupid, he clearly wanted to say, 'Brother Shiqi is a hundred times more talented than me'.

This time, even the eunuch Xiaobao couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhu Xiongying thinks so.

Well, very true.

Isn't that what scholars are like, no one looks down on anyone.

It seems that the efficacy of this Zhenyan powder is very good, but I don't know how long it can last.

"second question."

Zhu Xiongying spoke lightly.

At this moment, both Yang Rong and Yang Pu held their breath, and sweat was already oozing from their foreheads.

They were afraid that Zhu Xiongying would ask some questions related to the old emperor, and if they answered some outrageous answers, they would be doomed.

As for Yang Shiqi, Xiangdao couldn't hide the eyes of the two of them.
