Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

"Sister, what do you think Su Jing thinks? He actually wants to inspect the granaries in various places with the boss. He took the initiative to bring this up."

Lao Zhu sat on the couch, his face full of doubts.

There are a lot of things about Su Jing, and Lao Zhu has already thought about arranging something for him.

The current process has undoubtedly disrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's inner plan.

Empress Ma was sewing an embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said casually: "What's so strange about this? Mr. Su is willing to help Biao'er. Isn't Mr. Su's attitude very clear? He doesn't want any publicity notices, he just wants to provide advice to Biao'er." Painting strategy."

"Zhu Chongba, you have been the emperor for too long and your thoughts are too heavy. You always think about other people's thoughts as deeply as your own."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, we are just chatting with you casually. Su Jing's request is not too excessive."

"We think it's great that he is willing to take the boss on inspections in person. Although the boss is very good, he is still young and needs someone to teach him about many things."

Lao Zhu doesn't care about anyone's accusations, but he must take Empress Ma's accusations seriously in his heart.

Only with Queen Ma can Lao Zhu say whatever he wants.

Lao Zhu would basically go to Queen Ma to discuss anything involving Su Jing.

"This is a good thing. Chongba, don't look at all the teachers you have found for Biao'er. They are basically old academics. What topics can you have in common with Biao'er?"

Queen Ma said: "Mr. Su is young and promising, and I don't need to say anything about his abilities. It would be great if this guy can take Mr. Su out to practice!"

When it comes to Su Jing, Queen Ma has always thought very simply.

Su Jing is a powerful person. He is Zhu Biao's teacher and will not harm Zhu Biao. This is enough.

Empress Ma didn't think much about other things. It wasn't that she couldn't think of it, but she just didn't think about it.

Lao Zhu looked at his queen, who only cared about embroidering her handkerchief, and sighed: "Sister, it's better for you. Why is this queen so much more relaxed than the emperor?"

Hearing this, Queen Ma immediately stopped carrying her hands and raised her head: "Zhu Chongba, can you also speak your words?"

Although Queen Ma's expression remained the same as before, Lao Zhu already felt a 'murderous intention'.

Lao Zhu immediately said: "No, no, let's just say casually, sister, you have worked very hard. Without you, we don't know how we have survived all these years."

"It's almost there."

Empress Ma snorted coldly and continued to lower her head to embroider the handkerchief: "If you feel tired of being an emperor, then let me do it. I'm sure I can do it better than you."

If anyone else had said this, Lao Zhu would have killed him countless times.

But Queen Ma said that Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved because this proved that Queen Ma was not really angry.

"Yes, yes, sister, you are right. It is definitely better for you to be the emperor than for me, but I cannot be the queen, so I still have to trouble you, sister."

Not only did Lao Zhu not dare to get angry, he also wanted to coax him out of anger.

Empress Ma said calmly: "Okay, don't talk nonsense like me. Let's just settle this matter with Mr. Su. Biao'er will follow Mr. Su, I don't worry."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "There is no problem with this matter, but we are still a little worried about the safety."

Su Jingna had just been assassinated. If something went wrong again, things would get serious.

"Safety?"

Empress Ma's expression suddenly dropped, she put the embroidered handkerchief in her hand on the table, and glared at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhu Chongba, you still have the nerve to say that you are very careful with Mr. Su on weekdays, and you can't wait to spy the spy." We sent someone to Mr. Su’s home, but the result is that there is still a problem with Mr. Su’s safety!”

"You don't want to tell me now that Mr. Su and Biao'er are out on patrol together, what else could happen, right?"

At this moment, Queen Ma was really angry.

Something happened to Su Jing, but she had been holding fire in her heart.

She knew best that in Lishui County, Lao Zhu specially arranged people to keep an eye on Su Jing's every move.

Such strict surveillance cannot even guarantee safety issues.

That is to say, Su Jing was safe and sound, otherwise Queen Ma would not have let this matter go.

Now that Lao Zhu has mentioned safety issues again, it's no wonder that Queen Ma is not popular.

Zhu Yuanzhang sweated on his forehead and said quickly: "Don't worry, sister, Su Jing's safety will definitely not cause any problems again. We are just worried."

"If you go out with the boss, you are protecting Su Jing according to the guarantee of protecting the prince. Nothing will happen."

Not to mention Queen Ma's anger, Lao Zhu was also very angry.

The guards of the pro-military Duwei Mansion who were responsible for monitoring and protecting Su Jing were all dismissed from their posts for investigation, and they are probably not qualified to come back in this life.

This is the result of Lao Zhu's extravagant mercy and Queen Ma's intercession.

After all, they are still alive.

Queen Ma glanced at Lao Zhu coldly, then picked up the embroidered handkerchief: "It's best this way."

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and said: "Sister, in fact, what we are most worried about is the local situation. The boss is young and inexperienced, but has a stubborn temper. This time he didn't make any noise. Su Jing helps him, I'm afraid things will get messy. Not small."

When Lao Zhu reached this point, he stopped talking.

Queen Ma had already understood what he meant.

Empress Ma said calmly: "Are you worried that things will get worse? Nowadays, there is no real stability in various places in the Ming Dynasty. Some things have to be endured first, but Biao'er won't tolerate it, right?"

"This girl still understands me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "The Ming Dynasty is too big. We can't completely free our hands to deal with some people now. We can only let them take advantage of the loopholes first."

"Boss will be deceived by them, but Su Jing will definitely not. When things happen, we will still be worried!"

Lao Zhu now really feels deeply about conquering the world and defending the world.

When conquering the world, all you need to do is think about defeating your opponent. Because you are your opponent, conquering by force is simple and direct.

But defending the world is different. It needs to be carried out under rules and order, and at the same time, it needs to deal with some external threats. This matter is as simple as conquering the world.

It's not that Lao Zhu doesn't want to take care of some things, but the situation is really complicated and he can only turn a blind eye.

Weighing the pros and cons is something an emperor must learn, even Zhu Yuanzhang had to do the same.

"Ah."

Empress Ma laughed out loud when she heard this: "Chongba, if you had said this before, I would have thought it was quite right, but now, the Northern Expedition is a great victory, and it is a complete victory. The Japanese pirates in Fujian and Guangxi are no longer a problem, and only the foreign melee in Sichuan is left. Are you really unable to spare any effort?"

In a few words, Queen Ma clarified the current situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he said: "Okay, sister, you live in a deep palace, so you know the general trend of the world very well."

Empress Ma smiled and said: "Zhu Chongba, do you think that I am a queen who only knows how to embroider at home? If I were a man, how could you, Zhu Chongba, be the emperor?"

"My sister is right! Fortunately, you are our wife!" Zhu Yuanzhang said cheerfully: "This great victory in the Northern Expedition has indeed made us relieved, and our work has become much more relaxed."

"It doesn't seem like it's impossible to free up your hands, but isn't it a little too early?"

After all, this matter is related to the stability of various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Zhu is still very cautious.

Empress Ma said calmly: "Why should Mr. Su take action sooner or later? It must be justified. When the time comes, justice will be on your side and legal principles will be on your side. Who dares to say anything?"

As soon as he said this, Lao Zhu immediately figured it out and kept nodding his head: "Yes, Su Jing is really reassuring in his work. Sister, you are really my good strategist!"

Empress Ma immediately said: "Chongba, don't forget that the Northern Expedition and the problem of Japanese pirates are all due to Mr. Su's contribution."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and said with a surprised expression: "I see, why are you willing to talk to me so much today, sister? It turns out it's because of me, right? We all take Su Jing's contribution to heart, Won’t forget it at all.”

Empress Ma said: "Do you just keep it in mind? Aren't you very generous in normal times? Why did you just give Mr. Su a house? Do you think Mr. Su is easy to get rid of?"

Although the house was said to be very big, Queen Ma still wanted to pay more attention to Su Jing.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Sister, let's do this. If you think it's appropriate to reward Su Jing, then just reward him. That's fine."

"It's almost there!"

Queen Ma was satisfied.

……

In the Prince's Mansion, Su Jing and Zhu Biao were sitting down to rest after walking all the way.

"Master Su, please have some snacks first."

Zhu Biao served Su Jing respectfully just like when he was in Lishui County before.

Zhu Biao was doing all the work of serving tea and water.

Su Jing said: "Okay, okay, Prince, this is not in Lishui County now. If you treat me like this again, it's not in line with etiquette. I'm afraid I will be criticized by the officials of the Ministry of Rites."

Knowledge of books and rituals have always played an important role in traditional culture.

There are no outsiders in Lishui County, so the relationship between Su Jing and Zhu Biao is very casual and has no relationship.

Nowadays, in the capital and in the Prince's Mansion, there are too many eyes.

Useless criticism, although not fatal, is always annoying.

"Who dares!"

Zhu Biao immediately said: "Teacher Su is the teacher of the students. How the students treat you is their own business. If someone dares to make a fuss about it, the students will not let him go!"

Zhu Biao's attitude was very tough. He felt that no one else had the right to ask how he treated Su Jing.

Still too young after all!

Su Jing shook her head slightly and said: "Prince, this is not what you said. You are the prince and you represent the Ming Dynasty. This is the responsibility of the officials of the Ministry of Rites. If you don't listen to you, you will violate the prince's order. I will listen to you. Violating etiquette and etiquette.”

"Prince, the tougher you are, the tougher they will be. For me, it doesn't have to be like this. This is a matter of etiquette and propriety, so don't be embarrassed."

Although Su Jing didn't like this either, there was no point in insisting on it.

The etiquette is like this, so you can't change the etiquette of the entire Ming Dynasty just for yourself.

Zhu Biao thought for a moment in silence and nodded: "Master Su is right, the students think too simply."

He originally thought that he could change something through persistence, but when he thought about it carefully, his persistence would only bring trouble to Su Jing.

Su Jing smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not as simple as you think, it's just that the world itself is too complicated. Not only you, but even your father, can't do whatever he wants, even if he wants to do something is correct."

Zhu Biao nodded. Zhu Yuanzhang also said similar words to him.

After chatting briefly for a while, Zhu Biao said: "Master Su, will it be inconvenient for me to live in Lishui County permanently in the future?"

As Su Jing's longest-serving student, Zhu Biao knew very well that Su Jing's industry in Lishui County was intricate and huge.

Such an industry cannot be abandoned directly.

He naturally guessed that Su Jing's permanent residence in the capital could not be purely Su Jing's own wish.

Of course, he also supports Su Jing coming to the capital. After all, it is closer to the palace and the safety is better guaranteed.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Aren't you still worried about being a teacher regarding business matters? Besides, Sun Ping is still watching over it for me in Lishui County. It's okay."

"That's good."

Zhu Biao said: "It's really gratifying that students can see Master Su in the future!"

Su Jing said calmly: "The prince must make preparations first. There are some things in the capital that I don't dare to teach anymore."

Because she didn't know Zhu Biao's identity, when Su Jing taught him, she was cold and careless.

It's different now. Zhu Biao's identity is clear and he is in the capital again.

Su Jing, Lao Zhu's family, is nothing to worry about now. Anyway, it is through the bottom, so that's it.

Even the deaths of Zhu Biao and Queen Ma have been mentioned, so there is nothing else that cannot be mentioned.

But that's not the case for others.

It's as if Zhu Liangzu is deliberately trying to assassinate himself. There are certain things and certain words, and caution is necessary.

Zhu Biao had a look of regret on his face. Of course he understood what Su Jing meant, but he also understood that Su Jing was right to do this.

"Master Su, my student promises that one day, Master Su will be able to fully display your talents!"

Zhu Biao stood up and bowed heavily to Su Jing.

Zhu Biao heard too many advanced theories from Su Jing, and he waited for Su Jing to implement them personally.

Su Jing immediately said: "Prince, you can't make me angry like this. I'm timid and don't have much ambition. At most, I can help you with advice. Forget about other things."

Change in people never happens overnight.

Su Jing now knew that he was changing, and he did not deliberately suppress himself.

But, at least for now, he really doesn't have such big ideas.

Zhu Biao raised his head and looked at Su Jing, without refuting or persuading.

He knew that Su Jing had concerns, so what he had to do was to clear away these concerns.

"Master Su, please stay here today. I heard that your case will not be over for a few days, is that okay?"

Zhu Biao changed his subject.

Su Jing nodded and smiled: "I'm very happy." (End of this chapter)
