Father can be an enemy to the country

Behind the royal chariot, on the Korean Duke's carriage.

Li Shanchang spread his legs and used a folding fan to fan his crotch, trying to alleviate the burning pain.

Xue Xiang on the side wanted to do something for the Prime Minister, but he didn't know where to start.

Say, ‘Master, can I help you fan yourself? ’ It’s obviously inappropriate. He could only sigh and said: "Oh, the emperor is still the same as before. He is really going to wear us down."

"The superior is feeling unhappy and deliberately walking us." Li Shanchang snorted and took the ice pack from Xue Xiang, hesitating whether to use it or not.

"accurate?"

"I think it's too much money." Li Shanchang sneered: "But the superiors can't say it directly. This is to build a palace for him. If you say it, it will appear that he has taken advantage and behaved well."

"How can anyone spend less money to build a palace?"

"Hehe, when it comes to our situation, you are still corrupt? What a waste of money!" Li Shanchang said with a proud smile: "What we want is a ten thousand-year-old hard-core crop that will shine with the country!"

"Yes."

"If you are less than a hundred years old, you always worry about being a thousand years old. The days are short and the nights are long, so why not travel by candlelight!" Li Shanchang finally gritted his teeth and put the ice pack into his crotch. He shivered for a while, but finally it was no longer burning. He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It is only because of the painstaking planning of our predecessors that our descendants can live such a magical life. Oh my, I am so nervous today."

"Fortunately, the clothes are perfect and there are no traps." Xue Xiang also sighed happily and said with great admiration: "If the Prime Minister hadn't taken the trouble to prepare in advance this time, we would have exposed the secret. Who would have thought that the emperor would wander around so much? place?"

"That's because you have less time to catch up with the leader." Li Shanchang said with a proud smile: "He is very suspicious and always feels that others are arranging him. So he will always change his route temporarily and dig into the corners.

"But we can control where the construction is going and where the work is suspended. We just use the empty city strategy in a conspicuous place and gather all the craftsmen who are in good condition and are honest and obedient to places where they are likely to go. Isn't that the solution?"

"This method sounds simple, but it can only be used by the prime minister who is well versed in the superior's intentions." Xue Xiang sighed in admiration and asked cautiously: "Then, does it pass the inspection today?"

"You little Xue, why are you carrying eggs across the river all day long and being so careful?" Li Shanchang teased.

"Isn't this because the Mingjiao thing happened first? The prince came to Fengyang for more than ten days, and he didn't summon us. He stayed mysterious with the Marquis of Zhongshan and the others all day long, and he didn't know what he was looking for everywhere?" Xue Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is here again. Your subordinates don't have the determination of the Prime Minister. It would be strange if they don't feel guilty."

"What is the prince looking for? I heard something about it." Li Shanchang said mysteriously: "It seems that his brother has been lost."

"What?" Xue Xiang opened his mouth. "Which prince?"

"Who should you ask?" Li Shanchang said calmly: "They should be the five who are studying in Houhu. I just don't know whether the emperor sent them to visit incognito or they ran out on their own.

"The Emperor won't tell you about such a scandalous thing, so we are happy to pretend not to know about it. But it's probably the former, because now that I think about it, Ping Baoer and Han Yike should have known about it."

"I said they both seemed to have lost their souls." Xue Xiang was stunned and said in fear: "I don't know how long your highnesses have been here. Have you found anything?"

"Everyone is lost, who cares! Xiao Xue, put your heart back in your stomach. No matter what happens, the result of moving the capital to Fengyang will not change." Li Shanchang didn't care about that, and said very firmly: "Do you know why I asked you to report the price of the Yunlong Step Stone?"

"Why?"

"Just to let the superiors know that hundreds of millions have been spent to build the Central Capital City and build the palace for him! The royal court's annual income for several years is included in it!" Li Shanchang said in a deep voice: "If it were you, you would have spent so much money to build it. Can I not live in my house?"

"It must be lived in. No matter what happens, you have to hold your nose and live in it, and you have to say it is good." Xue Xiang suddenly realized: "Otherwise, the money will not be wasted?"

"Haha, that's it?" Li Shanchang said with a proud smile: "So the superior will definitely move the capital. As long as the superior lives in the Forbidden City we built for him, all the things you worry about will be wiped out. Who dares in the future? Revealing old scores is burying his family, and the superiors would have dealt with him first without us taking action!"

"My subordinates have been taught a lesson again." Xue Xiang suddenly nodded. No wonder the prime minister was so pushy and unscrupulous. It turned out that he was confident.

At dusk, the holy driver arrived at the imperial mausoleum.

The Imperial Tomb is where Zhu Yuanzhang buried his parents. The terrain of this place is low-lying and the conditions are not very good. Therefore, after Boss Zhu became successful, he thought about reburying his deceased parents in a glorious way, but Xu Cunren, a doctor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who was accompanying him at the time, and Wang Yi, an official in charge of daily affairs, strongly opposed it.

They said that the emperor's ancestral tombs were where the dragon veins were located, and that if they rashly raised the tombs and reburied them, they might leak the aura of the mountains and rivers.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt it made sense. So in the second year of Hongwu, an edict was issued to build up the land of the old mausoleum and seal it. And built city walls, palaces, shelters, sacrificial facilities, etc.

That night, the father and son of the world stayed in the Thanksgiving Hall, burned incense and fasted to prepare for the sacrifice to the mausoleum tomorrow morning.

Those who are fasting must keep their insides in order; those who are fasting must keep their outsides in order. The so-called fasting means bathing and changing clothes, living exclusively in a quiet room, not drinking alcohol, not eating meat, not asking about illness, not mourning, not listening to music, and not paying attention to punishments.

So after the two of them took a bath and changed their clothes, the palace servants served them a meal of sweet memories.

Dark rice balls and red rice, and a bowl of vegetable soup without oil or water.

This was what Lao Zhu’s family had for dinner that year, and rice balls and brown rice would not appear at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that all future generations and princes and ministers who come to pay homage to the imperial mausoleum and ancestral mausoleum must eat this to show that they will never forget their roots.

Zhu Biao had eaten it before, but when he ate it again, he still found it difficult to swallow. He took the vegetable soup and forced it into his mouth.

As he ate, his eye circles became red.

"Why, can't you swallow it?" Zhu Yuanzhang had already finished his portion. "If you really can't eat it, just forget it. There's no need to force it."

"No, it suddenly occurred to me that my brothers have been eating this kind of food for almost a year..." Zhu Biao's tears fell down.

"It's not that exaggerated. It's just a few months. Won't their lives get better after that?" Zhu Yuanzhang said and touched his chin, finally realizing that he was a bit unreliable.

"I don't know if those people will take action tonight?" Zhu Biao wiped his tears with the sleeves of his sacrificial robe, although he knew that if they take action, he and his father may be in danger. But he wanted to know more about the whereabouts of his brothers.

"On a murderous night when the moon is dark, when the wind is high and fires are set. If someone wants to harm us, tonight is the best opportunity. When the sun comes up, the monsters will have nothing to do." Zhu Yuanzhang said with bright eyes:

"I won't sleep tonight, wait until dawn!"
