Chapter 009: Ma Shi
Then we entered the time of "talking about ancient times" that Zhu Yuan deliberately created.
From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the two Jin Dynasties, from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, from the "Eight Kings Rebellion" to the "Five Husbands Rebellion", from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty digging the Grand Canal to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty delegating power and envoys, relying on the accumulation of knowledge in previous lives, we continue to maintain the relationship with '
While linking it with economics, in order to reduce historical deviation, Zhu Yuan mainly followed Zhu Yuanzhang's own political philosophy in his explanation.
It can be seen that Lao Zhu was very happy when he heard the saying, "Just follow his liking".
Probably many of the same ideas as before came about, such as the canonization of kings. Zhu Yuan unknowingly led Zhu Yuanzhang once again in the direction of "conferring kings without breaking the soil".
As for the future, let’s talk about it in the future.
Zhu Yuan just wanted to know how to get out. His 'butterfly' was too sensitive and he really couldn't say anything more.
Fortunately, when Zhu Yuan was considering whether to pretend to be exhausted, his body, which had just recovered from a serious illness, was really beginning to lose its energy. As the night went on, Zhu Yuan felt more and more dizzy and gradually crumbling.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of interest and energy, wanted to talk all night long, but when he discovered Zhu Yuan's strange behavior, he had to give up and ordered his servants to arrange Zhu Yuan in a guest room in the front yard of the palace.
When we returned to the inner palace of the palace, it was already midnight.
Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Ma, also did not rest. She came forward with two maids to help Zhu Yuanzhang change into the Wu Dynasty uniform specially prepared for meeting Zhu Yuan. Noticing her husband's unfinished expression, Ma said with a smile: "It seems that I want to congratulate you."
My husband has become virtuous again."
During these days, Ma also knew about the bold statement of "sending five hundred years to the country to Zuo" that attracted the attention of the government and the public. Not only that, she was also the only person besides Zhu Yuanzhang who had read Xu Da's handwriting and Zhu Yuan's secret map, so she understood
How much does the husband expect from that worldly master?
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance at this time, and thinking about her husband's vision of getting higher and higher as his status increased, Ma understood that this worldly master was even more brilliant than she had previously thought.
"Great talent, great talent!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any airs in front of his wife. He smiled and praised him. He noticed the maid beside him, put away his expression, and waved: "You all go down."
After the maid left, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer tried to hide it, and said with a bit of showoff, "Today I listened to a lecture on 'Economic Studies', and it suddenly dawned on me. Do you know what Economics is?"
Ma put the Wu Dynasty uniform that Zhu Yuanzhang had taken off on a hanger, took out another green shirt, and shook his head with a smile: "How can I know if my husband doesn't tell me?"
While Zhu Yuanzhang put on his green shirt, he unknowingly imitated Zhu Yuan's appearance at that time and said loudly: "An economist manages the world and benefits the people!"
Mrs. Ma followed her husband's tone and said, "It sounds like you are a university student."
"Tian Daxue," Zhu Yuanzhang said with great interest, "According to the little scholar, this economics is enough to be on par with Confucianism. In the future, they will jointly support the two legs of China's progress. Listen to me."
Listen, is it big?"
"Sure enough, it's big enough," Ma said, feeling a little more surprised and curious in her heart, and then asked, "What do you think, sir?"
"Although I only heard half of it, I still feel that I am worthy of being ranked with Confucianism," Zhu Yuanzhang said here, and suddenly turned dissatisfied: "It's just that the little scholar is not cool enough, and he wants to make a three-year appointment with me as soon as he opens his mouth.
There is a "Book of Heaven" that is dedicated to me, but I have to wait three years before I can read it."
Ma, who was originally gentle, heard the word "Book of Heaven", moved slightly slowly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and confirmed: "Book of Heaven?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "I have to wait three years to read "Book of Heaven."
Perhaps the husband and wife are of the same mind, but Ma's inner thoughts are consistent with Zhu Yuanzhang's initial reaction: "Could it be the method of seeking immortality? My husband, there have been strange theories in all dynasties, but most of them are false. If this is really the case, ..." At this point, Ma's eyes suddenly turned sharp: "I hope your husband will execute that man immediately. Don't be deceived by this and harm your family and country."
Zhu Yuanzhang felt his wife's emotional changes, and patted the back of Ma's hand that was subconsciously clutching his arm reassuringly: "Don't worry, madam, it's not some magic trick to seek immortality, and I don't believe in that either."
Ma did not give up and asked: "What is the content?"
"I don't know either. The little scholar didn't want to reveal it in advance." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. Seeing his wife still looking at him, he thought for a while and said, "I guess it must be some knowledge of governance that has never been seen in the world. The little scholar said at that time, If I ask him to assist me now, that's fine, but he can only use his talents to one-tenth of his ability. If I wait three years and read "Book of Heaven", he can give me a prosperous age that has not been seen in a thousand years, and a prosperous age that has not been seen in a thousand years. In the prosperous age, I promised him, it’s only three years, I can afford to wait.”
Ma nodded slightly, but still felt uneasy.
Ma is also a studious person. In the process of reading history, she would inevitably sigh when she saw some emperors indulged in seeking immortality and neglecting government affairs. She would never want her husband to follow in the footsteps of those absurd emperors in the future.
Thinking like this, Ma quietly made up his mind.
If the so-called outsider really wanted to offer some tricks to cultivate immortality, she would have to get rid of this disaster in advance, even if she risked making her husband angry or even worse.
After being distracted for a moment, Ma quickly returned to normal. While helping her husband tie his shirt, he found another topic: "Ms. sir, that person... has been placed in the Lixian Hall?"
The Lixian Pavilion was a residence built on the west side of the palace by Zhu Yuanzhang's order five years ago. It was specially used to arrange talented Confucian scholars collected from all over the country, and it was also convenient for him to summon at any time. Liu Ji, Song Lian and others were all in the pavilion. Lived.
Hearing this question, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "That little scholar is good at everything, but his body is too weak. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so quickly. I just said the last word and looked like he was about to fall. I will stay." He rested in the guest room in the front yard."
Ma helped her husband stretch out the green shirt he had already put on. Hearing this, his thoughts moved slightly and he said, "My lord, if that's the case, why don't I go and give the instructions myself, lest the servants don't take care of me properly?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I asked He Shou to arrange the arrangements. He is very careful. However, you might as well go and have a look. Oh, in terms of appearance, he is a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old, taller than us. The second son of the family is still far away. If it weren't for the current situation, I would have wanted to have another adopted son." With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang changed his clothes, turned around and walked to the small study on the other side of the bedroom, while saying : "Madam, you go first. I have a lot of feelings tonight. I need to write them down quickly to avoid forgetting them."
When Mrs. Ma heard her husband say that he wanted to recognize his adopted son, he once again felt how much he admired the young scholar. He followed her and helped spread paper and grind ink. She waited for her husband to start writing before leaving.
He led a group of maids out of the inner house, walked through the corridors and buildings to the front yard, and soon arrived at the place where Zhu Yuan was staying.
Due to the etiquette system, there are very few foreign guests staying in Prince Wu's palace. Zhu Yuan is a special exception. This also makes the servants in the palace even more afraid to neglect. He Shou, the head of the internal envoy prison just established in September, personally and several eunuchs made careful arrangements.
Zhu Yuan was about to leave when he saw Mr. Ma appear and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to pay his respects.
Ma waved his hand for everyone to get up. While looking at the main room of the small courtyard, he asked He Shou, "Are you asleep?"
He Shou, the eunuch with a square and round face, bowed forward and whispered: "Go back to your Majesty, I fell asleep as soon as I got on the bed. I thought something was wrong, so I quietly took my pulse.
I’m sure nothing happened, it’s probably just because of the long journey.”
Ma nodded slightly.
I understand that there is also the reason why she was forced to talk to her husband till midnight, but the man next to me obviously did not dare to say that.
With this in mind, Ma walked towards the door: "Let me take a look at him."
He Shou knew that the upper-ranking couple were not formal people, so he did not stop them, but took the initiative to help guide the way. He said at the same time: "I also arranged for two little ones to look after them."
He said that he had already entered the house.
When the two young eunuchs outside saw that they were the princesses, they wanted to kneel down to pay respects, but Ma waved their hands to stop them. They turned around and walked towards the bedroom where He Shou personally opened the curtain.
Another eunuch came in with a candle. Under the light, Ma stopped He Shou from trying to wake Zhu Yuan up. He saw a young man with a pale face exposed from the tightly wrapped quilt on the bed. As her husband said,
He looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness.
Ma was somewhat unable to imagine that the wonderful and wonderful arguments in Xu Da's handwriting, the hidden depths in the 'Population Trend Chart of Chinese Dynasties', and the knowledge of managing the world and benefiting the people that her husband had just mentioned, all came from such a villain.
.
After looking at it for a moment, maybe the pale little face was too harmless, and the young man's talent was undoubted. Although Ma's previous vigilance had not completely disappeared, it had faded a lot unconsciously, and he couldn't help but
I think, if not... I really could have adopted another adopted son.
Zhu Yuanhe.
You don't even need to change your last name.
After a while, seeing the little boy frowning slightly in his sleep, Ma also woke up and waved his hand to signal everyone to leave.
When they came outside the house, Ma Shicai told He Shou again: "The earth dragon in the house must be kept burning. He is weak, so don't freeze, but don't let it get too hot. Let the imperial doctor come over tomorrow morning and give the child a look. We will run all the way."
, stayed up all night again, be sure not to leave the root of the disease. Furthermore, you have to personally take care of this child's three meals before he recovers. Pay attention to dietary taboos, and don't take supplements randomly. If you are weak or not, take something light."
He Shou listened carefully and agreed one by one.
Everyone around Ma was envious, surprised, and surprised.
Even those who have heard some rumors recently can't help but wonder, what kind of person is that young man just now that can make the two masters pay so much attention to him that they make an exception to stay overnight and visit him in person?
