Daming prepares the emperor

In the first year of Hongwu, after receiving the official notice issued by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and other officials attached great importance to it, and immediately started the construction of the Forbidden City.

The first to be mobilized was the Daming Zhu Group Yingtianfu General Contracting Construction Company. The company leaders immediately dispatched the first to 25th teams to Zijin Mountain to start construction.

Subsequently, the project was also assisted by the logistics support department of the Demon Division of Daming Town, mobilizing 98 elephant monsters, [-] rat monsters, and [-] other monsters.

This large-scale construction project is related to thousands of households in Ming Dynasty. His Royal Highness Prince Zhu Biao is the chief engineer, and Lord Liu Ji Liu Bowen is the deputy chief engineer.

I believe that with the presence of these two giants, there will be no illegal construction activities on the construction site, and there will be no illegal cases of demanding employees.

Our reporter Hu Shuo will report for you.

------

"The town demon master doesn't need to come again tomorrow."

There is a large piece of land at the foot of Zijin Mountain. There are no lakes, rivers, or rocks and soil blocks. After considering the visit, Zhu Biao decided to use this place as the starting point for the Forbidden City project to accumulate materials and place tents.

Before the reclamation of the lake started, doing this kind of work first was a little time he bought for himself.

He made up his mind that during this time, no matter what kind of difficulties he encountered, he would persuade and compensate the Yanque Lake aquarium to move.

The native trees at the foot of the mountain have been sawed off by the migrant workers recruited by the Ministry of Industry, or chopped into firewood, or polished into beams and pillars, and collected into bundles, waiting to be used in the future construction period.

After the trees disappeared, the land became empty and flat. Now it is full of wood and stones, most of which are brought in by monsters. After the problem of raw materials is solved, monsters cannot help with fine work. that's it.

Although they are very powerful and have convenient spells to use, they have lived in caves in the mountains for a long time and cannot understand human artistic aesthetics. Let them do these things, and the final building may be more like Pansi Cave Rather than the imperial city.

Even if they can help, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao will not allow them to do more. The building that symbolizes the peak of human unity and centralization should not be built by monsters, especially when a human monster cannot in a world of perfect harmony.

Changsun Wanguan said respectfully: "Yes, I immediately tell them to go back to the demon towns everywhere."

"It's rare to come out, the journey is far away, don't just tell them to go back like this. You entertain a little, and select a few outstanding monsters to come out. I remember that there are still a few supervisors in the department that have not been filled."

"Yes, I understand." Changsun Wanguan thought for a while, and he really found a white fox that looked very clever and had the potential to be an official.

After he retreated, Liu Ji saw that there were not many people left, so he stepped forward cautiously and stopped behind Zhu Biao's left.

After experiencing what happened to Han Lin'er, Zhu Biao felt that he had indeed obtained most of what he needed to grow up, and now he could face Liu Ji with a normal heart.

No embarrassment, no embarrassment, no ducking.

"Your Highness." Liu Ji said slowly, "What are you thinking about Yanque Lake?"

Zhu Biao uttered a word firmly: "Fill!"

Liu Bowen smiled gratifiedly, stroked his beard and said, "It's good that His Highness has figured it out, and I know His Highness will definitely understand."

Then he asked again: "I heard that His Highness went to Fengyang to worship the ancestors. How is the itinerary? Has anyone bumped into His Highness?"

This is actually a kind of veiled concern and question. Zhu Biao heard the overtones. He was asking himself how he let go of his previous thoughts and was willing to reconcile with him. Who ever quarreled.

After waking up from the big dream of the stone man, Zhu Biao once felt as if he had passed away, but after experiencing the changes during this period of time, he realized that real life is the most dreamy.

Between him and his parents, his brothers and sisters, his friends, and those ministers who want to be loyal to him, there are not only people's hearts, but also an era, and hundreds of years.

"...It's all right, Mr. Liu doesn't need to worry about it."

Liu Ji was taken aback, concealed his disappointment, settled down, and raised his finger to the wood and stone in front of him: "What do you think about the layout of the Forbidden City, Your Highness? Why did you call the Taoist priest?"

"Firstly, it must be big." Zhu Biao turned around and said, "There is a saying in the court that Father wants to build a capital in Fengyang. I can tell Mr. Liu that this is true, and Father really has this intention."

"Build the capital in Fengyang?" Liu Ji frowned. "Let's not talk about the inconvenient transportation and poor land in Fengyang. Your Majesty started from there. Most of the important officials in the court are from Huaixi. Wouldn't it be good to build the capital in Fengyang..."

"The power of Huaixi nobles will go further." Zhu Biao finished the sentence for him, "So we have to build the Forbidden City beautifully and perfectly, and dispel the idea of ​​the father. No matter how bad it is, Fengyang can only be a Accompany the capital. The queen mother and I will persuade again."

Liu Jidao: "I have already submitted the blueprint to the Ministry of Industry, and I have also calculated the yin and yang geomantic omen. The axis of the palace and the city of the Forbidden City will be integrated. It will be a model of etiquette that has never been seen for thousands of years."

"Mr. Liu's work, I don't worry about it." Zhu Biao said, "But the Forbidden City can't be completed in a day, and the glazed tiles, painted carvings and decorative furniture of the palace also need to be worried about. Don't be sloppy, just take your time."

"Regarding this, recently a bold businessman approached the minister's house, and told him that he wanted to be an imperial merchant, and that he was willing to donate money to cover most of the cost of repairing the Forbidden City."

"...Is it Shen Wansan?" Zhu Biao guessed, "There are not many people who can be so rich."

"That's right." Liu Ji said, "I think the purchase of these odds and ends can be entrusted to him. It may not be necessary to give the name of an imperial merchant, but it is also good to pay a few road citations. This person has a wide range of contacts and knows craftsmen." There are quite a lot of them, and they have their own caravan, so if they are organized properly, it should save a lot of time."

"Yes." Zhu Biao nodded, "He handed in the nomination certificate a few years ago, which is quite credible. I asked Wei Zhongde to find a few young eunuchs to watch him and work with him."

Wei Zhongde, who was standing invisible on Zhu Biao's right hand, immediately bent his waist a little, expressing that he had understood the will by not disturbing Zhu Biao's conversation.

"Then how does His Highness plan to fill the lake?"

"Let the stone man go." Zhu Biao said, "It has been in Fengdu for a while, and it has the ability to mobilize soil and water, which is indeed in line with its spirituality. It takes about a day to fill Yanque Lake."

"I have investigated some places." Liu Ji said solemnly, "All the pavilions built after filling the lake and building land are prone to collapse after a long time. I suggest driving some wooden piles and stone strips into the lake, and using special method to support the foundation."

Zhu Biao showed a controlled smile: "I have exactly the same intention."

After saying this, he took out a bowl from his sleeve and tapped the edge of the bowl with his fingers: "Wake up, show Mr. Liu a face."

"It's dawn?" With a pop, four thin strips and two black beans grew on the bowl. Zhi Chi stared at the surroundings and said, "Boss, where is this? Do you want me to do something?"

"This is the pottery bowl that my father used to beg for begging when he was young, no, to beg for alms." Zhu Biao introduced, "It was originally black pottery, but now it is made of white porcelain."

"Wait, boss! Don't tell strangers this kind of thing casually, yes, it will be very dangerous! Who are you? I warn you, I'm talking to the boss, don't eavesdrop!"

This is Zhichi's sad thing, it has been desperately trying not to mention it to others, it doesn't want to believe that its luck for so many years has been wasted, and it can only change its color and texture.

But Liu Bowen's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the bowl over to observe carefully. Seeing that Zhichi felt uncomfortable, he repeatedly pushed his arm with his match hands.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Liu Ji seemed to be possessed by Zhang Zhong, who saw Zhu Biao for the first time, "What is your Highness going to do? No matter how you manipulate it, the bowl that His Majesty used is a superb method." device."

"What the hell? Are you talking about me?" Zhichi, who was still very resistant at first, decided to immediately fall in love with the man in front of him.

Zhu Biao took Zhi Chi over and clasped it upside down on the palm of his hand: "What does this look like to you?"

Liu Ji deserves to be Liu Ji. After thinking for a while, he quickly came up with the answer, and said in surprise, "A magic circle! Your Highness wants to use a bowl to hold the Forbidden City!"

"Who is holding it? What is it holding?" Zhichi lay on Zhu Biao's hand, like a bastard who couldn't turn over, trying to look up at the master, blinking his two peasy eyes, pointing at himself and said, "It means I Are you talking about me! Can I still do this kind of thing?"

"It's true that you can't do it yourself, but I can do it together." Zhu Biao said, "If no one uses it, a bowl cannot play a real role."

"Okay!" Zhichi said excitedly, "Boss, I will do whatever you want me to do! If you don't let anyone in, I won't let anyone in! I can definitely cover this Forbidden City!"

"As long as you can stop the evil spirits and demons, I will thank you." Zhu Biao said, "As for who should be stopped and who should not be stopped, that is the responsibility of the guards of each sect and palace."

Liu Ji praised: "With the magic weapon to strengthen and support the entire palace, the foundation of the Forbidden City built on the filled lake will no longer be a problem, as long as this..."

"Zhi Chi, my name is Zhi Chi!"

"Only eat?"

"It's Zhichi!" Although Zhichi didn't hear clearly, and didn't understand what Liu Bowen said, it retorted subconsciously, "My name is chosen from the sentence that Tianwei does not violate Yanzhizhi. Homophone!"

Obfuscation often interacts with each other, and Liu Ji still doesn't understand what it is talking about, but this does not prevent him from pretending to understand.

"As long as this one has enough mana."

"The process of Zhichi becoming a spirit is special, and you should not speak the same words as those monsters." Zhu Biao picked up Zhichi with a wine cup, squinting his eyes against the sun, "It can absorb dragon energy, popularity, and even New Year's Eve. The purest fresh Qi, the only shortcoming is that it cannot be mobilized by itself, so we don't need to worry about mana."

"The Forbidden City shrouded in Zhizhi can even move the whole city." Zhu Biao continued, "Calculating carefully from ancient times to the present, there are not no dynasties that established their capitals in the south, but now the Northern Yuan Dynasty is still alive. Such nomadic tribes have a special structure and are difficult to completely eradicate, and because of lack of food, they will frequently harass the people on the border every autumn and winter, and kidnap young men and women. In order to stabilize the north, we must consider moving the capital in the future."

The excitement in Liu Ji's eyes slowly spread out and spread to his entire face. He had a premonition that what Zhu Biao was about to say next would change Daming's future forever.

"In a while, after the luck of Yanque Lake is completely integrated with the Forbidden City, the central system of my Ming Dynasty can be moved. Where can I not go in the world? In this way, it will be the real land of the king of Mo Fei. .”

"Xi'an, Bianliang, Beiping, Yingtian, any place is the capital of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao's tone was very flat, as if there was nothing shocking about what he was expressing, and it was as natural to him as eating and drinking.But when the words fell on Liu Ji, he suddenly thought of Wolf Smoke, Tie Yi, Wanjuan Poems and Books, Baizhang City Wall, Fireworks Qinhuai River, and everything related to eternal peace.

He lifted up his clothes and knelt down, putting his forehead on the ground. He wanted to say some praises, just like any of his colleagues can do, but when the words came to his lips, Liu Ji couldn't even utter a sigh. Just lower your body down a bit.

"Get up, Mr. Liu."

Wei Zhongde hurried to help Liu Ji, and forcefully picked him up from the ground.

"The reason for taking Changsun Zhi away is to prevent him from seeing things he shouldn't see." Although the relationship between Zhu Biao and Liu Ji has become cold, his trust in him does not seem to have changed at all, "You are naturally different, let's do it together." Witness."

As soon as the words fell, the noodles that Zhu Biao put in his pocket shot up into the sky, Yingfeng lengthened at a speed as fast as lightning, and rushed to the bottom of Zhongshan Mountain in the blink of an eye, leaving a remnant golden light and shadow in the sky, Then, the Goulian Dragon Vein took off, projecting an extremely heavy stream of dragon energy onto the planned area of ​​the Forbidden City.

After the dragon aura was projected, Zhu Biao's fan stuck in his belt also flew up, turning into a silver light beam, and stopped at the Fengtian Temple that did not exist yet.

Under the tacit cooperation of the two, all the earth qi in Ying Tianfu boiled. Looking from the sky, the mixed qi of five colors looked like dumplings cooked in a pot. Ups and downs, if you don't turn off the fire, it will overflow out of the container.

"Ju Fei?" Ma Xiuying asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Ju Fei didn't make a sound, but stood up abruptly from Ma Xiuying's lap, avoiding her touch, walked all the way through the gap between the legs of the court lady and the eunuch, eliciting countless exclamations, and when she ran to the veranda, she jumped to the top of the eaves , closing his eyes solemnly like a lone wolf whistling at the moon, listening to the voice of the dragon's pulse.

"Go and pick it up, six out of nowhere."

"Wow." Liu Chubai picked up the sandbag in his mouth and was about to spit it into Zhu Jingjing's hand when he suddenly trembled, his hair exploded, and he turned his head and ran towards Zhu Biao's yard.

"Six out of nothing? What's the matter with you!" Zhu Jingjing was anxious, and hurried to chase after her.

On the bustling street, a passer-by who was walking on the stone bridge was shocked and fell on the bridge, spilling the noodle soup in his hand. Amidst his terrified screams, Shiqiao got up leisurely and changed direction for himself. , Squat down facing Zhong Shan.

"As expected of a poor disciple, are you right, Crazy Zhou? You don't have such a disciple, do you? I'm so mad at you! Hahahahaha."

On the top of Huashan Mountain, two old men stood on a welcoming pine tree on the cliff, pointing at each other's noses and cursing each other, jumping up in anger from time to time, jumping on the leaves, one of them looked south if he felt something, Then he laughed.

In the Shu Kingdom in the south of the city, the father and daughter of the Shu King, who were in a meeting, walked down the steps, yelled at the other ministers in a low voice, and led them to kneel down.

Such a situation is just the tip of the iceberg. At this moment, all the Taoist priests, monks, monsters and even ghosts in Yingtian Mansion raised their heads, witnessing the realization of this shocking idea.

Zhu Biao pinched Zhichi and threw it out.

"Wait, boss—I'm not ready—"

Zhi Chi drew a beautiful parabola.

What it was worried about didn't happen, Zhu Biao's aim was very good, and Zhichi landed very steadily on the top of the fan tip.

Seemingly finding a venting point, the boiling Qi Luck rushed towards Zhichi like crazy. Fortunately, its only advantage is that it can eat anything, and it will not be full, and it accepts them all without any pressure. .

Under the action of the array prepared by Zhu Biao in advance, all the gathered things, no matter what they are, obeyed obediently, and turned around in Zhichi's body as the eye of the array, using dragon energy as a bowl , using a folding fan as chopsticks, it was gradually shaped into an unprecedented enchantment, which continued to spread, and whoever looked at it... would think it was a large one and only eat it.

In fact, regardless of appearance, it is still very good.

Zhichi was glowing with twinkling light, its body was slowly changing towards gold, and at the same time, it seemed that an invisible brush was painting, and dragon patterns appeared on the porcelain surface, first the dragon head, then the dragon body, and finally It's the dragon's tail. After finishing the finishing touch, the lifelike golden dragon spins and dances freely on the surface of the bowl, becoming half a living thing.

Ignoring how great his new abilities are, Zhichi burst into tears and shouted, "Boss, I'm so beautiful! I'm pretty!"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

This chapter is mainly to answer a few questions and related doubts that you have raised before.

Although I have already answered some readers' comments, the new comments will suppress them and write them more intuitively in the words.

---------

①About Zhu Biao’s growth

A series of issues such as Liu Bowen, Zou Pusheng, Chen Shan, Zhu Jingjing, Yanque Lake filling and Fengyang ancestor worship have been foreshadowed in the past. There are also some foreshadowings in the earlier part, so I think Han Liner's death is an opportunity to completely change Zhu Biao. Not an abrupt turn.

②Does Han Liner have to die?

[-]. Historical basis

Ming History: Next year, Taizu will be the King of Wu.Another two years, Lin'er died.Or Taizu ordered Liao Yongzhong to welcome Lin'er back to Yingtian, and when he reached Guabu, the boat capsized and sank in the river.

Second, the enthronement problem

Zhu Yuanzhang nominally belonged to Han Lin'er's regime, honoring the name of King Xiao Ming and using the year name of Dragon and Phoenix.If Han Lin'er is alive, there is no way for him to ascend the throne.

[-]. Feasibility of Zen positions

The situation at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty was complicated. Unlike some situations in history where he was able to become Zen, Han Liner was in a sense a religious leader. He was the "Little King of Ming." There is such a person in the world, who will give the opposition forces an excuse to shake Zhu Yuanzhang's unstable rule.

Zhu Yuanzhang's character is stubborn and irritable. From a personal point of view, if Han Lin'er wants to be in Zen, he might as well die directly.

Han Liner's father, Han Shantong, claimed to be a descendant of Song Huizong. If he accepted Han Liner's Zen position, it would conflict with Zhu Yuanzhang's plan. (You can learn the historical facts by yourself)

The Zen positions of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wei Yuan are because they represent orthodoxy, and the troubled times have ended for a long time, and the next emperor's rule will be stable, so they cannot be used as examples of the same kind.

Three, if you want Zhu Biao to intercede

Zhu Biao can save Han Liner today, Yang Xian tomorrow, and Hu Weiyong the day after tomorrow. In this way, it doesn’t matter whether Han Liner is worth keeping. The important thing is whoever has a good relationship with the crown prince doesn’t have to die. , What is the use of political achievements, abilities and military exploits?

Such a move has destroyed the political ecological situation. If Zhu Biao made this wish, it means that he did not take Zhu Yuanzhang's great cause seriously at all, and did not take his identity seriously.

Those who are worthy of his intercession must have a reason worthy of intercession. For example, Song Lian was implicated, and whether he was executed or not has little effect, and he was still exiled after interceding.

So Zhu Biao never refuted the idea that Han Lin would die when he first met Han Liner.

Fourth, other means of ghosts and ghosts, assuming it is to change the appearance and take him away, it may not be impossible for someone or a demon to restore his appearance, and people's hearts are unpredictable, Han Lin'er may not want to be emperor, he has enjoyed that treatment, from frugal to enter It is easy to be extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

As a result, there is no need to take this risk.

---------

③Where does Zhu Biao's growth refer to?

A: It means that he has learned to make trade-offs.

Standing in the position of a decision maker, Zhu Biao's decision will affect many people.For example, during the Hongwu Great Relocation, due to successive years of wars, a lot of land in the Central Plains has been barren. At this time, it is necessary to move the population from affluent places to restore production and fill the national treasury.It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang migrated millions of people from Shanxi. Among them, there must be some who are unwilling to leave their hometown. They may need to abandon their ancestral foundations, may encounter corrupt officials and exploit them, and even die from diseases such as inaccurate conditions. necessary.

If decisions need to be made, there are trade-offs.

--------

④Zhu Biao abandons his previous ideas and becomes more and more considerate of the overall situation. In the end, only himself is left to grow?What is his special ability for?

A: That's right. Generally speaking, for my creation (only for me), this means growth.

What I feel from my life so far is that many beautiful things I imagined when I was a child are unrealistic.

Good friends who once thought they would be together forever, became estranged after graduation.

The relatives who used to live in harmony, the two families have rifts.

What I used to like and love, now I feel nothing.

Things that have been worked hard, have no results.

Someone I once admired, after understanding it, I found that it was superficial.

In fact, a large number of film and television works are expressing similar truths. Take the popular Marvel DC as an example (more suitable for the abilities mentioned). Spider-Man has superpowers, but he still has to face the lack of money. His girlfriend is angry, his studies are hindered, and other difficulties come from ordinary people, and then he is told what responsibility is through the sacrifice of his relatives.I think this kind of plot arrangement is very good, and this character is very realistic.

I haven't seen the kind of plot writer who doesn't worry about anything because of his special ability. If there is no conflict, I am afraid there is nothing interesting.

After the individual's ability reaches the limit, what is needed is the growth of the soul, which can be regarded as the law of creation.

I gave an example in the original reply, let’s use it again here. If Superman were to govern the country, would he be able to do it?

The system has a systematic way of operating. When Superman becomes president, he can't kill people with heat vision. He has to sit in the office honestly and follow that set of rules. (Unless it is the violent reign of terror of the unjust Superman, that must not be called governance)

If an emperor is very self-willed and encounters problems, he can rely on the means of gods and ghosts to solve them. I think it is unconvincing. Moreover, Zhu Biao is only the prince now, and he can't get around Zhu Yuanzhang.

--------

⑤Zhu Biao vowed to protect his sister. If he can't protect Han Lin'er now, can he protect Zhu Jingjing in the future?

Answer: The situation of the two is different, and the comparison is not great.Zhu Jingjing and Zhu Yuanzhang have no enmity, so it's not that they can't protect them.This feeling seems like my mother and I want pocket money, one hundred is okay, and one million can just eat papa.

--------

⑥ Insert personal thoughts

Although I don't have much social experience, and I haven't traveled through ancient times, but with the books I read and some life knowledge, I can say that things in the court are by no means that simple. As long as I can write the real situation in the follow-up plot One ten thousandth is also very satisfied!

The real history is very complicated.Take Emperor Jiajing as an example, he had a way not to go to the court, let Yan Song and Xu Jie and other courtiers fight, and he was able to sit firmly on the throne, and his ability in strategy is really the top group.But it was such an emperor, in the early days, he was almost strangled to death by a court lady.

Money, power, material things, there are too many things that human beings can fight for.

At this point, readers who may have worked may have more insight, the world is a delicate gray.

Because I want to write that feeling, these plots are necessary and planned, and the following chapters are also related to these.

I saw that many readers of Wan Muchun's chapter praised me for writing well hehehe!

---------

⑦The plot is up to the author, Zhu Biao can actually save Han Liner.

A: That is indeed correct.

But how should I put it, arrange for Empress Ma to give birth to a son, arrange for Zhu Yuanzhang to take down Beiyuan immediately, arrange for Zhu Di to usurp the throne, arrange for Zhu Biao to ascend the throne, all of these can be done, and it is even possible to arrange for Ming to suddenly fall from the sky to recover from the aura.

But when writing the plot, you still have to consider logic and integrity. The current growth process is the best arrangement I can think of.

Maybe in the future I will have different ideas and have more advanced skills to create _(:з」∠)_.

---------

The above is my personal answer to the questions raised by some readers. I did not say to force all readers to accept my ideas. Everyone has different ages, different hobbies, different jobs and different living environments. It is normal to have various opinions. of. (full of desire to survive)

At the same time, it should be stated that the above questions are sorted out through the comments of readers in about two weeks. There are readers who have followed up and read it all at once. I think it is comprehensive enough. If you still have questions in the future, Unless the angle is outside these questions, the author should not reply.
