Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Chapter 109 Zhu Yuanzhang’s investigation of Mei Yin yields results

Mei Yin was squatting on the field ridge eating.

I wasn't too surprised when I spotted the slowly approaching bullock cart.

After all, this time is the time for spring plowing.

It is normal for bullock carts to appear on the road between fields.

But when the bullock cart approached, it stopped, and an old man stepped down from it and walked towards him.

Mei Yin felt that something was a little unusual.

This is obviously directed at myself.

He stood up immediately with a smile on his face.

In my mind, I was also quickly thinking about who this person was.

It feels familiar, but not common.

Not from Shuangshui Village, nor from nearby.

Although there are some elderly people in the surrounding villages, they do not have the elegant temperament of this old man.

After thinking for a short time, a figure jumped into his mind.

It was the old man sitting in the tavern drinking.

Suppressing her confusion, Mei Yin stepped forward to greet him: "Old sir, how did you end up here today?"

Although I don’t know the identity of this person or why he is here, there is a smile on his face.

When others come to look for you, you cannot keep a cold face until you have distinguished your friend from your enemy.

"I have met the consort and paid my respects to the princess."

Liu Bowen hurriedly saluted Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo who was two steps behind Mei Yin.

"Uncle Chengyi? Why are you here?"

Princess Ning Guo's voice sounded, with some surprise and confusion.

Princess Ningguo had met Liu Bowen several times and was impressed by this famous man.

However, he was curious about the other party and came here.

And at first glance, she is here to find her husband.

"Uncle Sincerity?"

Mei Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he reacted immediately.

"Uncle Chengyi is Liu Ji, right?"

Mei Yin looked at Princess Ningguo and asked.

Princess Ning Guo nodded.

"It turns out that the old gentleman is Liu Ji Liu Bowen, the sincerity uncle!"

Mei Yin, who was already smiling, became even more smiley.

"This old man is none other than Liu Bowen. He came rashly to disturb Her Royal Highness the Princess. It was really presumptuous of me, my consort."

Mei Yin waved his hand and said: "No, no, no.

I had met the old gentleman twice before from a distance. With the two-way relationship, we were considered old acquaintances. How could we say it was presumptuous? "

"I didn't know that the old gentleman was Liu Bowen before. If I knew it, I would buy the old gentleman two drinks no matter what."

Mei Yin said this sincerely.

This is Liu Bowen!

It is said that he can cut the veins of dragons, look at the sky, and calculate important events. He has been endowed with many legends and is simply a semi-immortal figure.

Now it appears in front of him alive.

It is impossible to say that there is no excitement in my heart.

Because I know his deeds, I naturally have some good feelings and closeness to him.

This is the celebrity effect.

Liu Bowen did not expect that he would receive such treatment when he came here to pay homage to this popular prince-in-law.

It seemed that his kindness to him was genuine.

Then he smiled and said something.

It's handled well, but without losing some humor.

Some of the unfamiliarity of this first official meeting quickly disappeared.

Originally, according to Mei Yin's understanding of Liu Bowen.

I think this kind of person with a great education is old-fashioned and upright.

Now after contacting it, I discovered that this is not the case.

"Sincerity has come a long way, haven't you eaten yet?

Let's go home and cook for Uncle Chengyi. "

Liu Bowen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "When I came here, I had already eaten.

I am old and have a bad appetite. I only eat two meals a day.

I can't eat it right now, so you're welcome, Prince Consort. "

After saying that, he looked at Mei Yin and said with a smile: "A young and strong man with a good appetite like the Prince Consort is enviable.

The prince-in-law only needs to eat and don't care about old age. If he doesn't eat, he will be cold.

But don't let your old age ruin the princess's mood.

If this is the case, the old man's sin will be huge. "

Liu Bowen has a sharp eye and can notice many small details.

When I came here and took a quick look, I could tell that this was the meal that Her Royal Highness Princess Ningguo had come to the fields to deliver to Mei Yin.

Mei Yin smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite to Uncle Cheng.

These are simple meals. I'll make some for Uncle Cheng in the evening. "

After saying that, he held the bowl and steamed bun in one hand, and started eating with chopsticks in the other hand.

A mouthful of steamed buns and a big mouthful of vegetables, which tasted delicious.

Originally Liu Bowen was not hungry, but seeing Mei Yin feasting here, he felt a little hungry.

It’s delicious to see Mei Yin eating.

Sure enough, young people have good appetites, which makes people envious when they see them.

After eating, Mei Yin quickly tidied up and prepared to go back.

But Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Consort, go ahead and plow the land.

Spring plowing is greater than the sky, so farming should not be missed.

Eighty percent of this land has been cultivated.

The remaining 20% ​​will be finished in a short time.

It would be better to plow them together at this time.

To avoid trouble again. "

With that said, Liu Bowen got off the ground.

There are some large and small stones in the ground, as well as some grass roots.

It was picked up on the field ridge.

There are stones in the fields, which can easily affect the growth of crops and damage farm tools.

As for these grass roots, if they are not picked out.

It is very likely that in the future, the roots will be cut off and regenerated, turning into grass again, making it difficult to clean up.

Compete for fertilizer for crops.

Seeing this, Mei Yin was not polite to Liu Bowen.

Then he ordered the oxen to start plowing the fields.

While Liu Bowen was picking up grass roots, he would look at Mei Yin's plowing from time to time.

He nodded slightly.

To be honest, when he first came to Shuangshui Village to look for Mei Yin, he was still surprised when he was told that Mei Yin was farming here.

I thought this was equivalent to Mei Yin being rehabilitated.

He married the princess directly, and his status was greatly improved compared to before.

I also heard that even the soaps sold in Yingtianfu City were made by Mei Yin.

The money in his hands is already considerable.

Although he lives in Shuangshui Village, his identity is still Baiding.

But he is already different from ordinary Bai Ding.

How could a noble son like him really know how to farm?

But who would have thought that Mei Yin would actually do this.

And he seemed content.

I am also seriously learning how to farm.

After being surprised, he had some more unusual comments about Mei Yin.

For people like Liu Bowen, when he looks at people, he doesn't just listen to what others say about that person.

More importantly, you will see what he has done.

Judging from what I know and what I saw when I came to Shuangshui Village.

This Mei Yin is indeed different from ordinary noble children.

Not ordinary people.

Mei Yin helped plow the fields, looked at Liu Bowen, and couldn't help but smile to herself.

He also used cattle to plow the land here, and the famous Liu Bowen picked up grass roots and stones for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter and his younger daughter-in-law brought him meals and were also picking up grass roots there.

The treatment I receive from Tian is a bit high!

After a lot of work, the remaining 20% ​​of the land was plowed.

Don't worry about the remaining corners and corners that can't be plowed away.

Just use the hoe and other agricultural tools later to turn it over.

Mei Yin took off the ox harness and plow.

Auxiliary tools such as ox harness and ox skimming rope are carefully coiled and hung on the handle of the plow.

Mei Yin led the ox and plow and walked back with a smile.

While walking, talk to each other.

He really looks like a young, strong and qualified farmer.

As she lived in Shuangshui Village longer and longer, Mei Yin also felt like she had integrated into Shuangshui Village.

"Rabbit! Rabbit!"

"Princess, look, rabbit!!"

On the way back, not long after walking, a hare jumped out from not far away.

Xiaochan, who was next to Princess Ning Guo, was startled at first.

After discovering what it was, he jumped on his feet and shouted with joy.

Mei Yin reacted faster. He quickly put down the plow on his shoulders, bent down to pick up a stone, and rushed forward a few steps.

He raised his arms and threw the stone in his hand fiercely.

Unbiased, hit the rabbit right in the head.

The hare jumped violently on the spot, then lay on the ground and kicked its legs wildly.

Soon there was no movement.

"Husband, you are so awesome!!"

Princess Ningguo praised her excitedly.

When he looked at Mei Yin, his eyes were almost filled with stars.

My husband’s hand is so handsome!

Xiaochan had already ran out happily.

He picked up the rabbit that was knocked down by Mei Yin with a stone.

This rabbit is very fat, almost four pounds.

Mei Yin smiled and said: "Just in time, Uncle Cheng is here. Let's use it as a snack tonight.

This dish was delivered on time. "

At the same time, I also decided that when I go out to work in the future, I will carry a bow and arrow with me.

In this way, if you encounter some rabbits, pheasants, or wild boar, you can shoot them and get extra meals.

Although he had the super fishing skills he had acquired before, he was still very accurate when throwing things with stones.

However, throwing stones with your arms has a limited distance after all.

No bow and arrow can shoot far.

After listening to Mei Yin's words, Liu Bowen wanted to say that he didn't eat meat.

Just make some vegetarian dishes.

But he also knew that it was inappropriate to say it in this situation.

Don't also laugh and joke, saying that this rabbit is really a good rabbit and sensible...

……

Return home, tie the cow into the newly built cowshed, and get some fodder to feed it.

The cow Liu Bowen had brought with him was also tied inside and fed together.

These days, to many families, these animals are more valuable than people.

Even if people don't eat, they still have to take good care of the animals.

"...I came here this time just to express my gratitude to you, my consort.

This time in Zhongdu City, thanks to you, Prince-in-law, for speaking up.

Otherwise, the matter of moving the capital would have been accomplished by Li Shanchang.

Zhongdu City is really not suitable as the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that before that, they didn't listen to the advice from the superiors.

I always thought that I was selfish in not being optimistic about Zhongdu City.

Prince Consort, your move will save countless lives, and it will also allow Ming Dynasty to gain many intangible benefits in the future.

He also helped the old man get out of trouble.

This matter is of great help to the old man..."

Arriving at Mei Yin's house, Xiaochan served tea.

After Mei Yin and Liu Bowen sat down one after another, Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and talked about his purpose of coming.

In his words, he showed great respect for Mei Yin.

What he said was sincere.

He didn't make any detours.

According to Mei Yin's imagination, a character like Liu Bowen should have eight hundred tricks.

I don't know how many circles it will take to say one sentence.

How much meaning is contained in the face.

When you talk to these people, you always feel like they are trying to be clever in every sentence, like they are guessing riddles. A headache.

But after getting in touch with it this time, I found that it was completely different from what I thought.

Liu Bowen, a man with great knowledge, real ability and great reputation, was so straight to the point.

Just say what you need to say, and there won’t be too much pretense.

After Mei Yin was greatly surprised, he developed a good impression of him.

Mei Yin smiled and said, "It's not like speaking out for justice. I just know some things about Zhongdu City and don't want to see so many innocent people die tragically."

“This is enough, I don’t know how many people I have surpassed.

It also transcends old age. "

As Liu Bowen spoke, he stood up and saluted Mei Yin solemnly.

"This ceremony was not performed by me, but for the people over there in Zhongdu.

Prince Consort, this move of yours really brings countless lives to the table. "

Mei Yin quickly stood up and asked Liu Bowen to sit back and not be so polite to him.

“I just did a little thing.

As for being a big help to Uncle Cheng, I helped you get out of the predicament.

This matter, how should I put it... is not my original intention.

I didn't think about it that much at all.

These are just coincidences and accidents.

If you want to thank me for this, then I really deserve it. "

Mei Yin was telling the truth. After all, he did this in order to remonstrate with Zhu Yuanzhang. He was then killed by Zhu Yuanzhang and returned to modern times to obtain rewards.

Didn't think about anything else.

Liu Bowen heard this and said sternly: "You don't care about your heart when you talk about your deeds.

Never mind, Prince Consort, whether you were thinking of helping me when you did this before.

But the real situation is that your actions have helped me a lot.

Let me break through the siege.

Whether intentional or not, I, Liu Bowen, remembered this sentiment.

I can't say that you don't think so. I have benefited greatly from it, so I can pretend not to know. You have to be reasonable. "

After hearing Liu Bowen's words, Mei Yin's view of Liu Bowen changed a lot.

Liu Bowen is really a good person.

However, when I finally thought about it carefully, I couldn't help but be stunned by what I knew about Liu Bowen.

According to what he knew, Liu Bowen died this year.

He was killed by Hu Weiyong and the imperial doctors.

"Sincerity..."

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just call me Qingtian."

Mei Yin was more respectful than obedient. She looked at Liu Bowen and said: "Mr. Qingtian, this matter...how should I put it? It's a little early for you to thank me.

It seems to me that instead of rescuing you from your predicament, this seems to have pushed you into a more dangerous situation? "

In the past, Mei Yin would not have said this easily.

After all, the most taboo thing when interacting with people is to talk briefly and deeply.

Although Liu Bowen is famous, this is the first time he has met him seriously.

These words should not have been said.

But this time Liu Bowen met, he gave Mei Yin a good feeling, which made people feel good.

Such a person, if he were killed by someone like Hu Weiyong, would be killed like this.

It really feels a bit pity.

Of course, what is more important is that Mei Yin has once again remonstrated with Zhu Yuanzhang in recent days.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's bad temper, he touched the tiger's butt one after another.

It is really very possible that I will give myself away.

In this way, he and his wife can leave the Ming Dynasty, return to the future world, and live a life without shame.

In this case, there are some things that I might as well mention.

If this can save Liu Bowen's life, it will also be good to make some changes in Ming Dynasty.

After Liu Bowen heard Mei Yin's words, he looked calm on the surface, but there were already waves in his heart.

This Mei Yin is indeed no ordinary person!

Very clear view of many things!

He can even see this!

It was also at this time that Liu Bowen became more convinced of his previous deduction.

This Mei Yin is not a simple person.

In the matter of Zhongdu City, maybe he is no one's pawn.

But he wanted to do it himself.

As for the reason why he did this.

Perhaps part of them, as he said, did not want to see more people die in Zhongdu City.

But in addition, there is definitely a more important reason!

Liu Bowen couldn't figure out what the reason was yet, but he was sure that there must be one!

"It's not you, Prince Consort, who pushed me into a more dangerous situation.

But this dangerous situation exists in itself.

Regardless of whether this step is taken or not, I will be involved.

Otherwise, the old man would not have returned to Yingtianfu City to teach.

If it hadn't been for what the consort did, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get out of this predicament.

It is very possible that, before getting rid of this predicament, we entered a bigger predicament.

For me, it's even more distressing.

So, if we really talk about this matter, Prince Consort, you have been of great help.

I need to acknowledge your love. "

Liu Bowen suppressed some of his feelings and looked at Mei Yin and said sincerely.

After hearing Liu Bowen's words, Mei Yin was stunned for a moment.

Because he could tell from Liu Bowen's words that Liu Bowen already knew about this.

Knows the danger he faces.

After being stunned, I realized what I was doing and felt it was natural again.

After all, this is Liu Bowen!

Zhuge Liang is known as the one who dominates the world, and Liu Bowen is the one who dominates the world.

If he didn't understand this in advance and didn't notice it, it would be surprising.

It makes sense to realize it in advance.

It's just... After realizing these things, Mei Yin became even more confused.

Since Liu Bowen was not ignorant about this, he also realized some things.

Why did he encounter a murderous hand in history?

Hu Weiyong still poisoned him to death with the help of an imperial doctor?

According to Liu Bowen's intelligence, if he knew it in advance, wouldn't he still be able to avoid it?

"Mr. Qingtian sees things clearly.

Originally I was a little worried about Mr. Qingtian's situation.

Now after listening to what Mr. Qingtian said, I feel relieved.

With Mr. Qingtian's talent, he will definitely be able to detect tricks, turn danger into safety, and turn danger into safety. "

After listening to Mei Yin's words, Liu Bowen felt bitter in his heart.

So what if you see it?

The biggest crux of this matter is not Li Shanchang, nor Hu Weiyong.

And in the emperor!

He is quite capable.

Many things can be solved by relying on skills.

But there are some things that, even if you can see them clearly, you can do nothing about it and can only wait quietly for that day to arrive.

"I accept the consort's auspicious words.

I hope I can resolve this difficult situation later and move on safely. "

Suppressing the complicated feelings in his heart, Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and held his hands with a smile.

There was a smile on his face and his expression seemed relatively calm.

Having said this, it is the end.

It was the first time that the two of them met officially, and some topics should not be discussed too deeply.

At this time, it is already more than the first time for ordinary people to meet.

But Mei Yin thought that she was going to make another death remonstrance.

The mood becomes a little different.

So after thinking about it for a moment, he looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Could there be some hidden secrets about these things?

With Mr. Qingtian's ability, neither Li Shanchang nor Hu Weiyong should be your opponent.

Even if something goes wrong, I don't want to argue with them.

But at the very least, there is no big problem if you are aware of the danger, realize some things and then avoid them to protect yourself.

Why does this seem a little unusual? "

Mei Yin's words were tantamount to putting some things on the table.

When he and Liu Bowen met for the first time, their friendship was far from deep and seemed very abrupt.

Liu Bowen was stunned for a moment when he heard Mei Yin's words.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Mei Yin would actually say this to him at this time.

There was some silence for a while.

Mei Yin waited for a while, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Qingtian, I'm just asking casually, don't worry about it."

It was the first time I met Liu Bowen, and it was indeed a bit presumptuous and abrupt to ask him about certain things.

Liu Bowen didn't want to say it, which was reasonable.

After listening to Mei Yin's words, Liu Bowen came back to his senses.

He shook his head and said: "You don't have to think too much, Prince Consort. He can ask this to the old man. From this, you can see that Prince Consort is a very smart person.

Nor did he regard the old man as an outsider.

However, when it comes to some things, it’s like old sesame seeds and rotten millet.

Years passed.

It's just that some things will gradually smooth over as time goes by.

The parties involved will no longer care.

But some things, the longer time passes, the clearer they will be remembered.

Every time I think about it, I feel very unhappy. "

After finishing speaking, Liu Bowen hesitated and said: "My consort and I had a relationship before.

When we met at this time, we felt like old friends again.

He no longer concealed anything and told his consort.

The key to this matter...is not Hu Weiyong or Li Shanchang.

But it's... it's..."

At this point, he hesitated.

Slowly he said: "It's about being on top."

Is it about Zhu Yuanzhang?

Mei Yin was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Why does this matter have to do with Zhu Yuanzhang?

After thinking about it again, I felt that what Liu Bowen said made some sense.

Throughout the early Ming Dynasty, the most puzzling person for ministers was Zhu Yuanzhang.

According to Liu Bowen's ability, he noticed Li Shanchang in advance, and Hu Weiyong and others wanted to take action against him.

However, he failed to escape in the end.

Throughout the early Ming Dynasty, it seemed that only Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang could turn things into this.

Although Mei Yin, a later generation, has some understanding of the history of this time in the early Ming Dynasty.

But it is impossible to understand it too comprehensively.

I can remember some things, but I can't remember some things.

In other words, I didn’t understand it at all before.

For example, in the death of Liu Bowen, he only knew that Hu Weiyong colluded with the imperial doctor to do it, but he did not know the deeper reasons behind it.

Hearing Liu Bowen say this at this time, it felt like an eye-opener for a moment.

"Speaking of which, this matter has been in the past for a long time..."

Liu Bowen said slowly.

He told Mei Yin something that he didn't want to mention more, but had always been in his heart.

“Back then, the Tatars were retreating step by step, and the matter of asking His Majesty to ascend the throne and establish the Ming Dynasty was also put on the agenda.

One of these things was the most important when the Ming Dynasty was founded.

That is whose legal system the Ming Dynasty will inherit.

According to the views of Your Majesty and some others, it is natural to inherit the Song Dynasty system.

Do not recognize Yuan Tatar.

The old man felt that the Ming Dynasty should recognize the Yuan Dynasty and inherit the Yuan Dynasty.

After all, Song Dynasty was innately deficient and too far away from the present, so it controlled too few places.

If we inherited the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty, it would be reasonable for the Ming Dynasty to attack them in many places.

That is to regain lost territory, not to wage an unjust war against it.

Your Majesty suffered deeply from the Yuan Tatars. Many people in his family died unfortunately due to the brutal rule of Yuan Tatar Dazi during the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, there is a natural resistance to inheriting the legal system of Yuan Tatar.

In the end, he made up his mind to take Prince Xiao Ming to his side.

Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, whose father Han Shantong is known as the eighth grandson of Song Huizong.

Reverse the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty.

With Han Lin'er, and if Han Lin'er gives way later, the Ming Dynasty can successfully inherit the legal system of the Song Dynasty.

and made Yuan illegal.

The superior asked Liao Yongzhong to pick up King Xiao Ming.

But... on the way back, the boat on which Prince Xiao Ming was riding capsized, and Prince Xiao Ming was drowned in the river..."

And this thing?

Mei Yin looked somewhat surprised.

It feels like traveling hundreds of years to the Ming Dynasty and eating the Ming Dynasty melon from Liu Bowen.

"Then, Your Majesty thinks it was Liao Yongzhong who was instigated by you, Mr. Qingtian, to give Liao Yongzhong the idea?"

Liu Bowen nodded painfully and said: "Yes.

Although His Majesty did not say it explicitly, he believed that I was behind this matter.

I can feel that this is a big thorn in the heart of the superior.

Without King Xiao Ming, the superior could not inherit the Song Dynasty system.

They can only inherit the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty.

And how much His Majesty hates Yuan Tarzi, not many people who follow him know...

But in this matter, he still wants to recognize the legitimacy of Yuan and inherit the legal system of Yuan..."

Liu Bowen's words made Mei Yin understand a lot of things at once.

No wonder Liu Bowen could clearly sense that Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others would kill him.

But he didn't avoid it.

I also understand why Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately allowed Hu Weiyong and others to do this.

It turns out that there is still such an old incident in it.

"Then did Mr. Qingtian instruct Liao Yongzhong to do this?"

Mei Yin looked at Liu Bowen and asked this crucial question.

Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "No, although I also want the Ming Dynasty to inherit the legal system of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

But I am just a minister, and I can only make suggestions on some things. How to do it depends on the superior.

It was impossible to force a decision for him. "

Speaking of this, Liu Bowen felt uncomfortable.

If he really did this, then he would admit it.

Any consequences can follow.

But he didn't do it.

But when the yellow mud fell into his crotch, it was either feces or feces.

"Since this is a misunderstanding, then... Mr. Qingtian will look for an opportunity to explain to His Majesty and resolve the misunderstanding, right?"

After listening to Mei Yin's words, Liu Bowen shook his head.

How could this be so simple?

If it could be untied, it would have been untied long ago.

Seeing this, Mei Yin thought about it and felt that this matter was indeed difficult to handle.

Otherwise, according to Liu Bowen's ability, he would not fall into this dead situation.

"Then...has Mr. Qingtian told His Majesty about this matter in person?"

Mei Yin decided to ask again.

Liu Bowen shook his head: "No, but His Majesty has already determined that I did this.

It’s useless to explain it in person. "

After hearing Liu Bowen's words, Mei Yin didn't know what to say for a moment.

They've been working on this together for a long time, and they are both Riddlers!

But thinking about it carefully, I also feel that Liu Bowen's matter is indeed difficult to handle.

It mainly involves the knots in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Who doesn't know how much Zhu Yuanzhang hates Yuan Tatar?

But on the issue of legality, once Han Lin'er died, he had to hold his nose and recognize the Yuan Dynasty and recognize it as orthodox.

And inherited the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temper and thinking about his role, this matter is indeed difficult to solve.

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly seemed a little heavy.

Liu Bowen suddenly smiled and waved his hands and said: "Hey, these are all old things, so don't mention them."

With some helpless ease.

Mei Yin looked at Liu Bowen and wondered if there was anything he could do to help Liu Bowen break the situation.

If Liu Bowen can continue to live, then Ming Dynasty...will it be somewhat different in the future?

……

In the Wuying Hall, Liu Ying, who was in charge of the pro-military captain's mansion, walked in.

He sent a stack of paper to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.

"Higher rank, please conduct a more detailed investigation on Mei Yin."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became energetic!
