People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

he's a good guy...

Old Li's words echoed in the small palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a daze, thinking of Jin Yiwei's return, thoughtful.

Lao Li, or Li Dan...

The person who hurt Zhang Yi with his own hands actually said that he was a good person?
"Near death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his expression and sneered:
"The little landlord of your family is still thinking about helping you get rich next year, but your knife pierced his body..."

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled that yesterday, after Zhang Yi told Li Dan and the others about sharing the rice seeds, Li Dan had mixed feelings.

The so-called good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil.

He exchanged his kindness for a glimmer of life for himself.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use this in exchange for the information Li Dan said.

Guilt!
Lao Li's face was full of guilt.

"Actually, you don't need to be hypocritical, even if he doesn't die, if I die this time, as your master, he will definitely be implicated!

The assassination of the emperor by his servants is something that no one can get rid of!

I actually thought that if Zhang Yi died, maybe he wouldn't have to face the next pressure...

Li Dan, you are really an ungrateful person! "

"Emperor, are you going to kill him?"

Li Dan's expression at this time became calm instead. He had been with Zhang Yi not long ago, and he followed the immigration after the pirate case.

So his identity is very innocent, no one has doubted him...

This is also one of the reasons why they were able to find and assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang under Jin Yiwei's gaze.

Lao Li knows how much Zhu Yuanzhang loves Zhang Yi.

But even so, can't Zhang Yi get away with it?
Old Li is confused, his identity is very special, and the knowledge reserve in his mind is not enough for him to understand this complicated relationship.

In a way, he really is a farmer!
"It's not that I want to kill him, it's that as long as something happens to me, he will be implicated whether I like it or not!
With my identity, many times I can't decide some things with my will.

You people don't understand!
However, I have been wondering about one thing. You are a Han. I, the emperor, really make you hate him?

Or do you miss the world of the Mongols even more?

Displaced and precarious?
If you are a Mongolian, I can understand that I have taken your world!

But I have given peace to this world, why do you still hate me so much?

It's me, not doing enough? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were not only aimed at Li Dan, but other people were also caught by his gaze.

These people either stared angrily, or bowed their heads in silence.

But no one refuted it, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the world peace.

Some of them have confused eyes.

Only after being a dog in troubled times did I know the value of peace!
Once the new emperor dies, if his successor can't hold back those veterans, the empire that has just been established for only two years is likely to fall apart, just like the Red Turban Army.

Everyone returns to the troubled times, and the Mongols in the north can also return to the Central Plains.

Is this really what they want to see?
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked Jin Yiwei to take everyone away except Li Dan.

"I ask you, who are you?"

Li Dan thought for a long time and said:
"We people are usually ordinary people. If we talk about our identities, we are probably about the same as the people you sent to watch at the Taoist temple...

Don't even try to find us, because...you can't find it at all!
Those of us, either for fame, or for profit, or for grace...

We are underground rats, but we are also the most ordinary people!

Your Majesty, can you still kill all the people below you? "

Lao Li laughed miserably, but Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

Lao Zhu also knew that he couldn't ask any more questions.

To be able to say so much is already after Lao Li's mind was disturbed, he showed his flaws.

Enemy, among the people...

Many of them are usually honest people.

But when someone needs it, to activate them...

These people will also take up arms and carry out their tasks?

"What did the previous court give you to make you so determined?"

"Emperor of Ming Dynasty, you are not the only one who can show kindness to others..."

After Li Dan said this, he refused to say more.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew, and he couldn't ask anything:

"These people are all Lingchi..."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Li Dan's face turned pale.

He was silently dragged into the darkness by Jin Yiwei...

"The enemy is among the people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion, it is a dangerous thing for the emperor to go on tour in micro clothes.

This is especially true for the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

It's just that he was disappointed. Could it be that there are really so many people looking forward outside?

Those of them who were forced to rebel by the previous dynasty, their feelings are completely different from theirs.

"Heavy eight, thousands of people are different, you don't have to worry about this issue!"

Empress Ma saw the confusion in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. She waved her hand and let the others retreat without a trace.

Empress Ma would comfort Zhu Yuanzhang tenderly only when the husband and wife were together.

"I really can't figure it out, if it's a landlord like Chachahan Timur, they want to protect the Qianyuan, I can understand!
Or like Zhang Chang, I can understand it too!

Even if they are really people like Jin Yiwei, I can still understand...

But what are these people planning? "

The depression in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was not fake, and Empress Ma could not answer this question.

"Your Majesty, the clue is broken, do you want to continue the investigation?"

"Check, why not check?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned this incident, the flame in his heart ignited again.

"These people immigrated from Zhejiang, someone must have arranged for them to go to Zhang Yi's place!

This is a clue that allows me to find out more people!
They are not only among the people, but also among the imperial court!

I only now know how many people in this world wish me to die!
But I am not as good as they wish, I want to create all these people and hang their heads on the city wall..."

After Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, Empress Ma had already seen the bloody storm that would be set off by Ying Tianfu in the next few days.

In the absence of evidence, Jin Yiwei intervened in this matter, and a large number of innocent people must have been implicated.

This assassination is destined to take away many souls without a master.

Empress Ma couldn't bear it, but she was not a bodhisattva without bottom line.

The existence of these people is a real threat to her husband and his sons.

However, after all, she still didn't want Zhu Yuanzhang to kill too much.

So she changed the subject:
"Chongba, there is one more question, are you going to punish that child?"

"Sister, why would you ask such a question, of course not..."

Zhu Yuanzhang retorted without thinking:
"Zhang Yi didn't know the identities of those people, and he saved my life at a critical moment!
If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be able to stop the first strike!

If it wasn't for him, if Li Dan hadn't stabbed him first, but had rushed towards me directly!

I have no chance to pick up a knife and fight back! "

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the scene at that time, Zhang Yi's shot...

It is the key to his ability to recover a life.

"But have you ever thought that even if you don't punish Zhang Yi, you still have to?"

Empress Ma reminded: "What did you say to Lao Li just now, do you still remember?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that this was what Empress Ma reminded him of.

As a king, many times, many things, they are not able to do whatever they want.

Just like this incident, if it really spread, Zhang Yi, as the master of Lao Li and the others, had to take responsibility.

Even if he doesn't want to take it, it's just the impression of Zhang Yi and Longhushan in the minds of those ministers.

Some people will take advantage of it.

If hundreds of officials use this matter to force each other, under the general situation, even Zhu Yuanzhang will have to compromise.

But punishing Zhang Yi violated his original intention...

Lao Zhu immediately understood what Queen Ma meant.

He asked Gao Jianxian to come over and asked:
"Can you block the news?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have blocked the news according to Your Majesty's order!
In Curtain Wall Yingtian Mansion, although gossip spread, but officially, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was handling affairs, and nothing was revealed! "

Old Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, the news of his waking up, Zhu Biao didn't have time to inform him in the coming year.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is assured of this son's ability to respond to emergencies.

"The news of my assassination, no matter what, must not involve Qingxinguan...

No matter what method you use, I will control the people who should be controlled!
If you can’t handle this matter well, you will come to see me with your head..."

Gao Jianxian was sweating profusely in an instant, and he quickly kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, I know what to do!"

After he finished speaking, he rolled and crawled, left the emperor's bedroom, and went to work outside.

"Sister, are you taking advantage of Zhang Yi, so that Quanzhen will not kill evil?"

They are both husband and wife. Empress Ma knows Zhu Yuanzhang, so why doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang know Empress Ma?

If he wants to control the news and remove Zhang Yi from this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang must reduce the intensity of the matter.

During the coming and going, countless people may be saved from disasters because of Queen Ma's suggestion.

Old Zhu took a deep look at Empress Ma, and Empress Ma smiled.

"I just don't want that child to be implicated,

What's more, what you want to do, you can draw it slowly..."

Figure it out slowly.

It was Queen Ma's goal, he was well aware of her husband's temper...

Under the rage, I don't know how many people will die innocently because of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But if this matter can be delayed until after Zhu Yuanzhang's anger subsides, even if the emperor continues to carry out the search for the traitor...

His methods will also be much gentler.

Moreover, Empress Ma herself has a different understanding of this matter from Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Chong Ba, you have had a hard time too, you should know it!
Even those people, they don't have much choice!

The enemy hides among the people, but the king does not regard the people as enemies!

Most of them, even if they have different ambitions, can't do anything?

It's better to practice the king's way and give back to the people with peace and prosperity!
Those people are enemies now, but as time goes by, they will disappear from everyone and become the real people of my Ming Dynasty!
Let's kill those who should be killed, and investigate those who should be investigated...

But if you implicate the innocent because of this, wouldn't it be because of choking? "

Old Zhu lowered his head, meditating...

If someone else advised him, he could ignore it!

But Empress Ma was able to calm his restless heart.

"And, the thing that bothers you the most now is not this!"

Queen Ma smiled:
"You should have a showdown with that kid..."

When it came to the showdown, Zhu Yuanzhang was so determined that he panicked for no reason.

He also understood that sooner or later he and Zhang Yi would have a showdown.

It's not that he didn't think about the circumstances under which he would recognize Zhang Yi.

But there is such a big gap between the recognition scene in his mind and the reality.

The helplessness of reality made Lao Zhu somewhat reluctant to accept it.

"You feel guilty...so you're afraid to recognize each other?"

They belonged to old couples, and Empress Ma saw Lao Zhu's guilty conscience at a glance.

In the showdown envisioned by Lao Zhu, he should take the initiative to make Zhang Yi shocked, grateful or terrified.

But now in this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang felt ashamed of Zhang Yi.

In short, if they recognize each other at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude will be a bit weaker.

"No way!"

Lao Zhu wanted to save face, so of course he refused to admit it.

Empress Ma covered her mouth and laughed straight, men are sometimes just like children.

Even if he is a king, it is the same.

Zhu Yuanzhang has two faces in front of Zhang Yi.

One face appeared in the image of Huang He, Zhang Yi's junior.

The other face is the black-hearted emperor that Zhang Yi said...sometimes he praises, sometimes he is black.

Empress Ma knew that the emperor was also secretly competing with Zhang Yi.

He didn't want that kid to hide his disdain for him when he had another showdown...

He prefers to be recognized by Zhang Yi, the kind of recognition not because of his identity, but only because of what he has done.

Under such a premise, it is normal for Lao Zhu to resist.

He feels guilty towards Zhang Yi, which is the core reason.

It's just that he also understood that with the assassination, many things could not be hidden.

Even if Zhang Yi didn't hear Lao Li's shout, he woke up, as long as he continued to live in the capital, he would not be unaware of today's changes.

The emperor was assassinated, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hide the news.

The most he can do is to remove Zhang Yi from this matter.

"If Your Majesty had a showdown with that child, have you ever thought about how to face him?"

Empress Ma continued to remind Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

This is also the reason for his troubles, what to give Zhang Yi?
In other words, what does Zhang Yi want?
Knighthood?money?
First of all, the title is unlikely. Even if he intends to ennoble Zhang Yi, he has to think about the impact.

What's more, he also understood that Zhang Yi never cared about the title.

"How about I give him a good marriage, I think the girl from the Xu family hits him very well..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang put forward his opinion, Empress Ma rolled her eyes.

"That's right, if I grant the marriage like this, I have to ask Xu Da for his opinion..."

Lao Zhu himself also felt that this proposal was not good. If the daughter of the Xu family was married to the Tian family, it would be fine.

But if he is a matchmaker for Zhang Yi, Xu Da may have some objections.

When Empress Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang talking about him, she clearly didn't want to face one thing.

she says:

"Don't you know what the kid wants?"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, but did not speak.

How could he not know what Zhang Yi wanted?
Longhushan has been passed down for hundreds of years, and has experienced 42 generations of celestial masters.

It may not be important to others, but in the minds of Longhushan people, it symbolizes the status of inheritance.

Should he give this celestial master position? (end of this chapter)
