Daming prepares the emperor

This is the first time Zhu Biao was beaten.

Zhu Yuanzhang came back in the early morning, which was about the same time as when Zhu Biao was sent back by Wu Pin, only a little later.

When he saw the footprints and water marks at the door, he immediately realized something was wrong, and rushed into the room to look for his son, and happened to see Zhu Biao looking in the mirror on tiptoe.

Reflected in the mirror are a pair of golden eyes.

Zhu Biao saw it, and Zhu Yuanzhang saw it clearly.

This was also the first time Zhu Biao was dragged and pressed on the table to beat him.

It wasn't until he was overturned and received several hard blows on his buttocks that he realized that he hadn't left a note for Comrade Zhu to explain.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled up his sleeves: "What's the matter, my good son, went to buy gold for eyes in the middle of the night?"

"No, Dad, this eye..."

"What's wrong with it? It changed by itself? You're so talented, Zhu Biao, you dare to run out by yourself? Next time we see you again, do you have to wave to us on the moon?"

"Dad, I was wrong!"

"You're wrong? It's because your mother doted on you too much. From our point of view, your grandfather is right. Children have to be spanked. If you don't spank, you won't have a long memory. We will kill you with the sole of your shoe! We, we are so angry died!"

Don't mention this matter again, this is Zhu Biao's eternal black history-fortunately, the sun had just risen at that time, there were not many people active in the mansion, and the spell set by Wupin outside Zhu Yuanzhang's bedroom had not yet been solved, otherwise the entire Shuai The government will know that the marshal beat the child today.

After Ma Xiuying found out, she complained for a while, but fortunately she was always gentle, otherwise it would have been a mixed sport.

Winter goes to spring, and the four seasons reincarnate.It's been 20 years now.

In the 19th year of Zhengzheng, King Xiaoming came to the imperial decree, and Comrade Zhu was promoted to the third division of Yitong and the prime minister of Zhongshu province in Jiangnan and other places.

With Xiao Ming King Han Lin'er's strength, of course he can't control this place. The role of the imperial decree is the meaning. Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his heartfelt heart to the Dragon and Phoenix regime, and Xiao Ming King gave feedback. The common enemy is the Yuan Dynasty, and a subtle tacit understanding was temporarily reached. What kind of infighting is going on.

Over the past few years, Comrade Zhu's influence has expanded a lot, and gradually expanded along the Yangtze River to the east and west sides. It touched the forces of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng to some extent. Several battles were fought, with some losing and some winning, and the contradictions among the three intensified. , sooner or later there will be a big battle to determine the outcome.

But these problems are not Zhu Biao's turn to worry about, not to mention that it is useless for him to worry about it.

His current task is to practice martial arts, read and write, eat and sleep.

After all, he is just an ordinary eight-year-old now.

Comrade Zhu insisted on finding the best teacher for Zhu Biao who had never been seen before or since.So until someone is found, Ma Xiuying will be in charge of these things temporarily, and it is more than enough to teach Zhu Biao with her knowledge.

As for practicing martial arts and kung fu, it depends on the book given by Zhang Zhong.This book is very unusual, the paper feels as warm and moist as jade, and as white as snow. Others see it as empty, but in Zhu Biao's eyes, it is clear enough. Each page is thoughtfully accompanied by a picture of a small figure and an explanation.

Take the book to the sun, and the villain in the book will jump out and dance on its own, practicing a set of swordsmanship or swordsmanship, each move is very agile.

Zhu Biao thinks this may be a children's book...

But how to put it, as long as you can understand it, it's fine. The master is so unreliable, so the requirements should not be too high.

Regarding his eyes, as long as Zhu Biao has the idea of ​​looking carefully, he can use the functions that the eyes should not have at all. As his master said, he can observe luck, argue against ghosts, and be a ghost. For high power telescopes and microscopes.If it is an ordinary sight that often sweeps past, it is no different from ordinary people, there is no golden or golden light.

Although this usage is simple, it is very idealistic. Zhu Biao broke his head and didn't know how to do it. It took a full month to figure out the way and learn self-suggestion.And during that month, he stared at a pair of golden eyes, hiding in the house and not daring to go out.As soon as it got dark, he felt like a big double-flashing light bulb.

Every night, Comrade Zhu and his wife would sit on the bed peeling peanuts and embroidering handkerchiefs, watching his jokes.

I didn't get tired of laughing like that for a full month.

The attitude towards Zhang Zhong—the vision of old Comrade Zhu is there, and so is Ma Xiuying's wisdom. A generous gift was placed in the small private warehouse prepared for Zhu Biao, and he was told to bring the gift over the next time he saw Master, without further notice, so that he could get it quickly.

No one except Zhu Biao could understand the martial arts atlas, so Zhu Yuanzhang had to let Zhu Biao think about it and practice it by himself, and sent Wu Ce to help.

Of course, Wu Ce couldn't see the contents of the atlas. According to his own statement, he is a practitioner of martial arts, and he doesn't know much about spells, so he can't decipher this thing.

However, his attainments in martial arts are high enough to satisfy Zhu Biao's fantasies about martial arts masters, whether it is flying over eaves and walls, or swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and even hidden weapons that are hard to guard against, he is handy.

It is never wrong to practice martial arts first.On the first day Wu Ce was sent, he asked Zhu Biao to start morning exercises, and even with Liu Chubai as a dog, he had to get up early.

Every day, he ran three laps around the Shuai Mansion, then climbed trees and went up to the roof, and finally practiced holding his breath in the water. After practicing, Zhu Biao doubted life and suspected that he was in a world of martial arts.

After practicing martial arts in the morning, take a short break at noon, read books in the afternoon, and practice kung fu with the books in the evening. Zhu Biao was clearly arranged.

Occasionally when the weather is bad, he will have a vacation to relax.

Like today.

Dark clouds covered the day, the sky was dark, and the air was dull and damp, as if it was about to rain.

Sure enough, not long after, the drizzle dripped down from the roof, and swept along the tiles on the window sill, strung together into threads, hitting the bluestone slabs densely, and dripping on the ground, it seemed that it was not falling. Willing to come to the world.

Zhu Biao put down the brush in his hand, took off the handkerchief to wipe his hands, and looked up out of the window.

Calculating that it was getting late, my mother's small kitchen was already making meals and porridge cakes at this time. I didn't practice martial arts today, so it was rare to be free, so Zhu Biao immediately decided to have a meal.

Liu Chubai was lying in a nest in the corner of the room, gnawing bones, and the crackling sound was as continuous as the rain, and it was difficult for Zhu Biao to calm down and write.

"Xiao Liu, let's go."

"Wang."

Liuchubai has grown a lot in the past few years. Although he still doesn't seem to be an adult, he is only a circle smaller than the golden retriever in Zhu Biao's cognition. It is estimated that he will have a very good and moderate body shape in the end.

Xiaoliu, Xiaobai, Liuchubai, Zhu Biao called these names randomly according to his feelings, but he could understand them.

In fact, when Comrade Zhu’s bowl was puffing out his popularity, Zhu Biao occasionally saw Liu Chubai have the same situation, and he was looking forward to these two becoming good, and he was mentally prepared.

It's just a matter of time.

"mother."

Ma Xiuying was talking with a young woman with a big belly on the opposite side, and there were two other women sitting in the room, one was Li Shi with two children, and the other was a slightly pregnant Li Shi.

In the 18th year of Zhizheng, Mrs. Li gave birth to another son. Comrade Zhu gave birth to another son, who was named Zhu Yan, which is the homonym of Gang.Now she is pregnant with two sons, one is Zhu Xi and the other is Zhu Yu.

Zhu Fen, like Zhu Fen, had a tyrannical personality. According to historical records, there have been incidents such as whipping cooks and dragging people behind horses to death.However, Comrade Zhu was not as disappointed with him as he was with Zhu Xi, and finally gave him the posthumous title "Gong" as King Gong of Jin.

In short, even this younger brother can still be saved.

Zhu Biao is more concerned about the child in the womb, not because he has different opinions on his younger brothers. History is history after all, and the records themselves are not necessarily accurate. The background, maybe how to deviate from the original path, can only be used as a reference.

But the child conceived by the Qi family, judging from the year and month, is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.

Normally speaking, rebellion is an extremely serious matter, not to mention that what Zhu Di created was the rebellion of Zhu Biao's future son.But—Zhu Biao didn't care at all.

No matter how Zhu Di rebelled when Zhu Yunqi was in power, he would never dare to talk about it when old Comrade Zhu was alive.If Zhu Biao succeeded to the throne, he would not dare.How much Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to the prince can be seen personally. Not to mention the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he has already stood in line in his heart, but just physically, he was also arranged by Comrade Zhu to become a princeling.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been fighting abroad for many years, and he usually has a lot of affairs. Basically, he rarely goes home. All the sons, big and small, are, to put it a bit exaggerated, brought up by Zhu Biao, the eldest son.In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang is a control freak, and he is very strict with his son's studies. He was born as a farmer, so he doesn't care about those rules.

The emperor himself is the biggest princeling, the ministers stand in line, the brothers respect, Zhu Biao himself is not bad, broad-minded, both civil and military, if it is not for the death of illness, it would be Zhu Di's turn to usurp the throne.

If Zhu Di usurped the throne when Comrade Zhu was around, he would be pressed to death at once.If Zhu Biao was in power, Zhu Di would be pressed to death by the general who was going to kill Zhu Yunqi to pave the way for Zhu Yunqi, and all the brothers would fight to beat him in order to perform in front of the elder brother.When Zhu Yunqi was in power...in fact, he had a lot of advantages in all aspects, and it would be outrageous to lose.

There is another important aspect that has not been mentioned, that is Zhu Di's own psychological state.Various records generally show that Zhu Di had long been disobedient, was very keen on power, or wanted to sit in the supreme position in his heart, but Zhu Biao believed that he had no such thoughts at all before Zhu Yunqi cut down the vassal.

To sum up, it is just one of the younger brothers.If he still shows extraordinary insight and ability after he grows up, Zhu Biao will certainly not suppress him, but will give him a heavy responsibility.

Because he is not a stingy person, and he doesn't think that he will not have the ability to sit firmly in the world.

Ma Xiuying saw him looking at Yu's belly, and said softly: "What's the matter? Could it be that you can't wait to be an older brother?"

The child sitting next to Mrs. Li stood up suddenly, and said loudly, "Brother already has me, I'm already an elder brother!"

Zhu Biao nodded perfunctorily: "Well, yes, I already have a second brother."

Zhu Xi sat down in satisfaction after hearing this.For him, Zhu Biao is simply the most powerful person in the world - given that he can stop Zhu Yuanzhang's soles.

Seeing his complacent look, Mrs. Li felt speechless and helpless from the bottom of her heart. The child is worthless, and she can't change it no matter how much she teaches.

Ma Xiuying motioned Zhu Biao to look at the woman with a big belly, and said with a smile, "Biaoer, your Aunt Sun is going to give birth soon, so you have to take good care of your new brother."

"nature."

In fact, no one knew whether her child was a boy or a girl, but in the age of patriarchy, in order to make a splash and avoid being talked about, everyone should wish that this is a boy.

Mrs. Sun supported her belly, her eyes were full of maternal love, and she said softly: "I hope this is a girl, I hope she can be more sensible and well-behaved, so that everyone will not dislike her."

Zhu Biao turned his head and looked carefully, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Where is my aunt, of course my sister is also very good, I like my sister."

—It is indeed a girl.

After hearing his words, Mrs. Sun felt relieved visibly, and said happily: "I am relieved when the eldest son said so."

The women in the back house seem to be living in a spy war drama every day.What Zhu Biao meant was what Ma Xiuying meant, and what the two of them meant was almost the same as old Comrade Zhu.

No wonder Mrs. Sun felt relieved.

During the conversation, Ma Xiuying had pulled Zhu Biao over, put a stool for him, added a table, poured tea, and ordered Li Li, who was standing behind, to bring porridge and rice.

Liu Chubai followed Li Li to the small kitchen wagging his tail, and when he came back, his mouth was full, and he didn't know what he was secretly fed for extra meals.

"Are you resting today?"

"Nothing to do today." Zhu Biao drank the porridge, looked out through the carved window, and saw the softly falling rain, "Wu Ce happened to be busy too."

"What's the plan, Biao'er?"

Upon hearing this sentence, the eyes of Liu Chubai lying on the ground and Zhu Xi sitting on the chair lit up, and they suddenly looked up at Zhu Biao, with the words "Take me out" written all over their faces.

Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and said, "I'm going to go for a walk with the dog."

Liu Chubai stood up proudly, and Zhu Xi collapsed listlessly—unless he could compete with Liu Chubai for the title of "dog" and then go to be walked.

Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Yu sat for a while, knowing that Ma Xiuying wanted to chat with her son, they said goodbye tactfully, and each led them back, ending today's farewell.

When Li Li closed the door and came back, Ma Xiuying let go of her sternness and dignity as the mistress, and asked with a smile, "Are you really going to walk the dog?"

"There's something else."

"what's up?"

"Go find brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang has many adoptive sons, but there is only one who is so close to Zhu Biao that he can be called that - of course, Mu Ying (Zhu Ying).

Mu Ying asked Zhu Biao to go fishing in the Qinhuai River in the afternoon.

Regarding the matter of going out, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying have the same attitude towards it. They have no feeling or even some casualness. After several years of management, Ying Tianfu has long been their own people inside and out, and Zhu Biao's martial arts and ability are not weak now. , they don't need to worry at all.

Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent Zhu Biao, who was only 13 years old, back to Haozhou to worship his ancestors. It took a lot of time and suffered a lot of sins to come back. He was still willing to let him go that time, let alone now.

But Ma Xiuying still warned a few words: "Biao'er, although you have some means now, you still have to be careful, go out and see how your brother is doing things, don't run around for fun."

"Yes."

"Bring back the fish you caught, and mother will make fish soup for you."

"Okay, son try to catch as many as possible. If you can't catch them, take off your clothes and go into the water to catch them."

Ma Xiuying gave him a white look: "Dirty clothes, why don't you ask mother to wash them for you?"

Li Li, who had just gone out, came back at this time, took a stack of notebooks in his hand, walked quickly to Ma Xiuying and bent down to put them down, and said respectfully: "Madam, this is a recent one, just delivered."

Comrade Zhu recently went out to fight, and many things, such as disputes and pensions for family members in the army, were all managed by Ma Xiuying.

Doing so can not only show the kindness of the mistress, but also prevent someone from secretly embezzling money and extracting oil and water from the soldiers' inheritance.

Seeing that his mother had something to do, Zhu Biao resigned, walked to the porch and picked up an umbrella to cover himself and Liu Chubai, with the umbrella tilted slightly towards the dog, and walked out of the yard.

The ground is wet, fine raindrops are jumping on the ground, and the moss is wet and dark green.

Liu Chubai stopped suddenly, and yelled at a place.

"Wang Wang Wang."

"Something?"

Xiaobai rushed into the rain, and after a while, came back with a piece of paper the size of an adult's palm.

Zhu Biao took the yellow paper and looked at it, and found that there were more than a hundred strange symbols drawn on it, which were arranged in several columns in order, as neat and orderly as an inscription, and looked like some kind of calligraphy work from a distance.

At this time, it was soaked with rainwater, and it was so wet that it was limp and paralyzed, and it was like a soft steamed bun that had soaked up water.

Whose is this?

Zhu Biao frowned and stared at the piece of talisman paper, the golden light gradually gathered in the depths of his eyes, flickering, like the flickering spots of light in a summer embankment.

Although there are other basic knowledge in the booklet given by Zhang Zhong, there is no introduction to the talisman paper technique, because he knows that Zhu Biao doesn't need to understand it at all.

Under such a pair of eyes, all techniques are as unobstructed as if the underwear has been stripped.

The longer Zhu Biao looked at this piece of paper, the uglier his face became. Although he looked like a small child, he already had the temperament of not being angry and self-imposing. Standing there, he had the majesty of a superior.

"Xiaobai, smell it."

Zhu Biao bent down and put the things in his hands under Liu Chubai's nose for a while.

Liu Chubai sniffed it carefully, then ran away.

Zhu Biao followed closely behind, watching it follow the smell and run into the backyard where the concubine's room lived, his expression became even more strange.

This talisman is used to win popularity.

Who exactly brought it in?
