Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 234 Liu Bowen "killed the pig"

Hu Weiyong happened to be there, but he didn't say anything at the time. When he returned to the prime minister's mansion, he added fuel and vinegar to Liu Bowen's answer to Li Shanchang's "killing a pig" on the street, provoking explanations.

In the morning court today, Li Shanchang told Lao Zhu about the killing of pigs that he had nothing to do yesterday when he went shopping with Liu Bowen and the others.

According to Hu Weiyong's words, Li Shanchang explained to Lao Zhu that it meant something else.

Tell Lao Zhu that Liu Bowen said the word "killing a pig" in the street, which is to insinuate Lao Zhu.

Of course Lao Zhu didn't want to, he was angry right now.

Oh, it's over.

This Liu Bowen, a wise man who usually predicts things like a god, killed Zhongshu all because of Li Bin, not to mention offending Li Shanchang, but also offended Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, and many people in the court were offended by him.

Now Li Shanchang took advantage of his unintentional words to sow discord.

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Father, what do you think of Liu Bowen?"

"He has principles in his work, and he has been upright in his work these years, but what he said made us really angry." Old Zhu said.

"Father loves talents, if he really listened to other people's slander, he would have killed Liu Bowen a long time ago." Zhu Biao poured tea for Lao Zhu.

"Nowadays, the folk word pig sounds harsh to us, and it's even harsher today."

Originally, the surname and pig were homophonic, and the people would definitely kill pigs, which was unavoidable. Thinking of this, Zhu Biao went to the table to grind ink.

"It's enough to change the name of the father, so that there will be no typos." Zhu Biao wrote the words "豕" and "Fatty" on the paper.

Old Zhu picked up the paper and said, "We think we should call him Feifei, but Liu Bowen, we are still very angry."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Father, I know that you are angry, but you can't have an opinion on Liu Bowen just because of this."

"When did we have any opinion on him? Your mother is very tolerant to him." Lao Zhu picked up the memorial and flipped through it.

"Both the minister and the queen mother want to be a wise king for the emperor, and the minister thinks that Liu Bowen's matter was unintentional.

After all, that's how the common people call him, and Li Xiang has misunderstood. In this way, some people will benefit the most from his father's punishment of Liu Bowen. "

"Let them fight, let's take a good look at what they are capable of." Lao Zhu snorted: "Everyone has a lot of thoughts. If you have these thoughts, you don't need to go to official business, go to the market to discuss what to kill... Fatty, Liu Bowen is also real."

"It's rare to play tomorrow, why is father unhappy, and missed the outing, why not have a good time tomorrow." Zhu Biao comforted.

"Let Yu Yi handle this matter, let them all take their families with them." After finishing speaking, Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Boy, where did you go last night?"

"I went to Shen's house." Zhu Biao said truthfully.

"Okay, those Jinyiwei guards are meant to protect you, and we won't ask too much about other things. As long as you care about the people and state affairs, we won't interfere with you in other matters."

Lao Zhu naturally knew about it, but he didn't mean to ask too much.On the contrary, he really likes common people, and his family background is clean and ordinary.

"I want to take her with me tomorrow," Zhu Biao said.

"You still need to ask us about this matter? You are a dignified prince and prince, you still have this little right, so you don't need to ask us in the future." Old Zhu raised his hand and gestured to hit Zhu Biao.

But he smiled and sat chatting, mostly about the court.

Although he was talking, there was still a flash of murderous intent in Lao Zhu's eyes, and he was somewhat intimidated by what Liu Bowen said about killing pigs.

Zhu Biao keenly caught the murderous intent in Lao Zhu's eyes, after all, whoever put this matter on would be a little dissatisfied.

In this regard, Zhu Biao felt that Lao Zhu's thoughts had to be changed in the future, otherwise Li Shanchang and the others fanned the flames a little, and Liu Bowen would lose his head.

Zhu Biao was never afraid of Liu Bowen, but he felt that since he knew the ending, he would save one more innocent person if he could.

I don't want Lao Zhu to become suspicious and sensitive to kill.He should be a better emperor.

Then Zhu Biao explained to Lao Zhu about Liu Bowen's contribution to the National Academy of Scholars, his mine, salt pond, etc., hoping to restrain his dissatisfaction with the incident of "killing pigs".

Although Lao Zhu was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Bowen, people are strange animals.

Zhu Biao knew very well that when Liu Bowen was alive in history, Lao Zhu was a little afraid of him and also a little jealous, but this is all human nature.

After Liu Bowen died, Lao Zhu realized that Liu Bowen was very important to him.

……

Then Lao Zhu immediately asked to change the word "pig" to "fat", and "pig" is not allowed.

When Li Shanchang heard this, he felt a little more proud.But I just heard that Lao Zhu changed the word "Fat", and didn't mention anything else.

But when one person heard the word "pig" instead of fat, his heart became cold, and he couldn't calm down for a whole day.

Sitting in his yard, Liu Bowen's hands and feet were cold, and he felt what it means to be with a king like a tiger.

One of my unintentional words yesterday was tampered with by someone with a heart, so His Majesty suddenly changed the pork to fat.

At the beginning of July, the sun was like a fire.Sitting under the tree, Liu Bowen felt a little cold, not knowing where the chess pieces in his hand should fall.

He felt that it was time for him to go home, to return to Qingtian to take care of his retirement.The idea of ​​retiring came into my heart.

It's just that Liu Bowen knew that even if he wanted to resign, His Majesty would not agree.

Liu Bowen said to the housekeeper beside him: "I've been feeling unwell recently, and suddenly I miss Qingtian very much, maybe I should go back and have a look in a few days."

"Master, I'm not feeling well, do you need me to call for a doctor?"

"There's no need to call a doctor, Liu Zhongcheng is in good health." Zhu Biao came from behind.

When Liu Bowen saw Zhu Biao, he immediately knelt down to pay respects: "I bow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite." Zhu Biao opened the basket and said, "These green fruits are for you to quench your thirst."

Liu Bowen picked up the green fruit, looked at Zhu Biao and said: "I saw it in the previous court. This fruit is a tribute, also called apple."

Zhu Biao nodded, this apple looks not as good as later generations, but it is also a rare fruit.

In fact, apples have been cultivated in China for more than 2000 years. According to legend, the "Zi Nai" that Xia Yu ate was red apples.

It is also recorded in "Guangzhi" written by Guo Yigong in the Jin Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, Li Tiaoyuan's "South China Sea Baiyong Chao" has a poem about apples: "The autumn wind blows in Yu Fan's house, and the green leaves are exquisite and uncut. Mistaking them like flowers on branches, I don't know the pods are decorated with scarlet."

Li Shizhen also mentioned Apple later.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Although this fruit looks green, it is very good."

Liu Bowen immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Biao's gift of this green fruit. Doesn't this apple mean safe fruit.

Apple, be safe.

This is His Highness telling him that everything is safe, don't worry.

"Liu Bowen, thank you, His Royal Highness." Liu Bowen picked up the green fruit and looked at it again and again, feeling very complicated.

Zhu Biao said: "Sir, tomorrow I'm going to play by the river, don't forget, sir."

"Don't dare to forget, how can I forget this matter." Liu Bowen put away the apple, smiled and invited Zhu Biao into the room.
