Daming: The county magistrate cried poorly and Zhu Yuanzhang exploded in anger

"The old minister is speaking the truth. His Majesty can listen to it, and his kind words prove everything."

Of course Liu Bowen was not flattering, he was sincerely grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang for letting go of this grudge.

"Okay, okay, I feel so tired, I'm going to hang around Queen Ma's place. By the way, Biaoer, have you learned how to make hot pot yet?"

I feel that my appetite has been a bit poor recently, and I want to eat hot pot made by Zhang Song more and more.

"this…"

Zhu Biao felt very embarrassed.

Because the hot pot base used in it was bought from the system store.

It is the kind of hot pot base that can be bought in shopping malls in that era.

This commercial hot pot bottom material only needs to be taken back and put into boiling water to dissolve, and then add pepper, ginger, garlic, etc. to heat the hot pot.

This is of course not an authentic hot pot, but for convenience and trouble.

Sometimes Zhang Song cooks the bottom material by himself when he is free.

That kind of hot pot tastes much better than the hot pot with commercial base.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw his son hesitating.

"You often hang out with that kid, and you haven't learned this skill?"

Zhu Biao, of course, saved some hot pot seasonings from Zhang Song.

He would occasionally heat the hot pot in his East Palace.

Just this kind of stuff.

He did not dare to say yes.

As a future emperor, if the word spreads that he knows how to make hot pot, he will be laughed out of his teeth.

"There are no outsiders here, so don't hesitate."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy.

"I have learned it, but I am afraid that outsiders will say it, so I dare not say it."

"To be an emperor, all you need is to be worthy of this dragon chair. Before I became an emperor, I had to eat and learn how to cook myself. What's the shame in that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is not like the emperors of all dynasties, who forget himself after sitting on the dragon chair.

I dare not admit my past.

"Your Majesty, the old minister will retire."

Liu Bowen saw that there was nothing to do here and was ready to leave.

"If I ask you to eat hot pot together, I haven't eaten with you for a long time. I miss the big pot meal we ate when we were marching and fighting."

"His Majesty…"

Liu Bowen was grateful.

"It's just a meal, don't be so excited."

For Zhu Yuanzhang, he alienated Liu Bowen because there were so many memorials to review every day.

Without these things.

Of course he will eat and chat with these like-minded old heroes, and go sightseeing together.

It's a pity that as long as I sit on this dragon chair, I have endless troubles to deal with every day.

Others thought that being an emperor was very easy.

To be an emperor is to eat well and dress well.

In fact, this is a wrong understanding, unless you want to be a fatuous emperor.

A model worker emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang definitely wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog.

"These words His Majesty said made the old minister miss the days of war."

"Yeah, my old pig also misses those days very much. At that time, things were very simple, just trying to eliminate the other party, that's all. After becoming the emperor, there are endless things to deal with every day."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and sighed.

Liu Bowen was secretly amused, you, the emperor, take everything on yourself, and don't believe in the results of any minister's handling.

So you are very busy.

If you delegate some powers to the ministers, as long as the emperor manages these ministers well, you will be very relaxed.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a very suspicious person.

Of course he was worried about giving ministers too much power.

He knew that ministers who had too much power would become corrupt.

So he is thinking of ways to reduce the power of these ministers all the time.

"Father, the emperor, and the sons and ministers will go to the harem to make preparations. I will send someone to notify you when the hot pot base is ready."

Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen had a lively chat, so he decided to leave.

If he is here, it will definitely hinder the conversation between the two old people.

They were comrades who fought side by side before.

This kind of friendship and feeling is the expression of old people's affection.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is not the emperor, he must be an old friend after meeting Liu Bowen.

Once they became emperors, the relationship between them changed from friends to monarchs and ministers.

In ancient times, under the feudal system, the distinction between monarchs and ministers was a world of difference.

Therefore, once the status changes, even friends are no longer friends, and even talking about everything becomes cautious in words and deeds.

Every action and every word is likely to influence your fate.

Of course Liu Guowen knew how he should treat Zhu Yuanzhang as a courtier.

Seeing that Zhu Biao was about to resign, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Go get busy, I have something to talk to Liu Bowen."

After Zhu Biao left, Liu Bowen talked about his hometown Qingtian.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Liu Bowen wanted to retire and return to his hometown when he heard him say that he was from his hometown.

"Are the oranges in Qingtian ripe?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said something inexplicably.

"Your Majesty, the oranges from my hometown are delicious. If I go back, I will ask someone to deliver a basket to Your Majesty."

"Could it be that the oranges in Jinling are not delicious?"

"This year's oranges are much tastier than those in my hometown, but the fallen leaves return to their roots. I will go back to that place one day. Bury them next to my ancestral grave..."

"If I remember correctly, you are several years younger than me, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to let Liu Bowen go. There are only a handful of honest ministers like him in the court.

The Inspectorate needs him to preside over it. Without him, the entire Inspectorate will lack a backbone.

There are so many corrupt guys in the country, if there is no Inspector Liu Bowen.

Then the entire Inspectorate is useless.

"Let's talk about that day. If you, Liu Bowen, want to eat sweet oranges, I can send someone to get them for you in a hurry."

"How can the old minister, He De, allow His Majesty to do this?"

Liu Bowen immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"You are in charge of the Procuratorate, the pickets. In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are only a handful of people like you, and you are holding a position that I entrust. Don't think that I only named you a sincere uncle, because I wronged you, right? ?”

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't make him Lord Marquis.

It was entirely to consider the emotions of the Huaixi heroes.

If it is said that the status of Huai Xi is not improved, then they are very dissatisfied.

When Zhu Yuanzhang first took control of Ming Dynasty, the foundation was not very solid, and these heroes all had a lot of resources and military power in their hands.

What's more, at that time, Beiyuan needed Huaixi people like them to fight.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to think that way, even if I don't make me an earl, I have nothing to say..."

Beads of sweat protruded from Liu Bowen's feet.

"I know you want to imitate Zhang Liang and retire, but I am not a big man, and the environment I speak of is different from that of a big man. I want to make Daming a court without corrupt officials. With you by my side, I will have a lot less things Son."

Although he didn't use the word Zhen, he always used me, which indicated the relationship with him.
