Chapter 68
There was no movement in the room, and Zhang Mu could only hear his breathing slightly rapid due to nervousness.
Zhang Mu had an ordinary impression of Zhu Yuanzhang in his previous life. After all, there were only wise emperors in China's five thousand years of civilization. Zhu Yuanzhang was also a wise emperor. He worked hard to govern the country, which led to the prosperous era of Hongwu. Unfortunately, the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty killed tens of thousands of people, and the founding fathers burned them to burn, which made Zhang Mu feel that he was too vicious.
However, objectively speaking, he is still a great man. He was born with a unique legendary character. After more than 20 years, he defeated heroes such as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and then went on a expedition to the north of Mobei to work diligently and cleanly. This is not easy.
After spending many years in the officialdom, Zhang Mu understood that luck is second to a person who can reach a high position, mainly because of ability, otherwise the mud cannot support the wall, and even if he reaches a high position, he will have to fall. Zhu Yuanzhang was able to go from a commoner to a 95th lord, so he must have outstanding features.
Thinking about the experiences in my previous life, how difficult it was to get from a civil servant to a mayor? How many turbulent is it? It would never be possible for Zhu Yuanzhang to be the emperor without the talent of heaven and earth.
Speaking of being an emperor is just a word, but how difficult will this road be? Life is dead and every step is terrifying. I am afraid that it is the taste of it. Only Zhu Yuanzhang himself knows that success is not accidental. How many people in the world want to be emperors, but how many people live a mediocre life? Not to mention dreams like being an emperor, it is not so easy to be a small employee and want to be like a fish in water.
Therefore, when dealing with such smart people, you need to be extra careful.
Zhu Yuanzhang held a black piece in his hand and leaned half on the bed. He had made great achievements throughout his life and was now an old man in his twilight years. His wrinkles on his face were like ravines, filled with wisdom and majesty. His majesty was not at all joy and anger, but he felt chill. He was still in his hand, but he held the power of life and death. When he stomped his feet, the Ming Dynasty trembled for knowledge. Although his figure was no longer as majestic as that of the day, he was like a towering tree with a deep root of thousands of miles and his black hair turned into white hair on his forehead, but it was a terrifying thing when he was breathing.
"Come on." At this moment, Zhang Mu heard Zhu Yuanzhang say a little hoarsely.
Zhang Mu was shocked and did not dare to look up. He hurriedly raised the bloody note in Li Guan's hand and held it high with both hands. At this time, Wei Yun, as the eunuch of Shang Bao, walked over, put the note on the table, and then stepped away.
Zhang Mu thought to himself that this old Zhu is indeed powerful. Before he could speak, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what he was doing. But when he thought about it, he was a subordinate of Jiang Zi. He met Zhu Yuanzhang above and bypassed Mao Xiang. It can be seen that he had something to give to Lao Zhu, and it was of great importance.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang put the black piece in his hand back into the chess basket, moved his cervical spine a little, and said slowly: "Come and come and beat me on my shoulders, I'm tired."
Zhang Mu looked up blankly and looked at Wei Yun with his light. He saw Wei Yun bluntly, meaning that he would beat him. Zhang Mu was stunned and hurriedly got up and wiped his hands on his clothes, and then gently beat Zhu Yuanzhang's pretty generous shoulders. However, he didn't expect that this famous old man in the world was so thin. Seeing that he gained weight, he was because of his wide clothes and his clothes were very thick. The elderly were all afraid of the cold.
"Wei Yun, go out and serve." Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be very helpful and said in a deep voice, squinted his eyes.
"Sister took his leave." At that moment, Wei Yun bent his waist, then stepped back to the door and closed the door.
"I heard that you planted mulberry trees by the fish pond and raised fish in the rice fields. Who did you learn this method?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a loud voice.
Zhang Mu did not expect that such small things would fall into Zhu Yuanzhang's ears. It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang had specifically inquired about him, so he said cautiously: "The humble position was just a sudden idea, but he didn't know whether it would work. So let's try it for now. If it is effective and produces more food, it is also good."
"Food is the most important thing for the people. If you are a scholar, you are willing to work hard on these things, and your books will not be read in vain." When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he said, "Do you know why I came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in vain this time?"
"Jiangxi is a warehouse of fish and rice in the world. Your Majesty is working on farming. In March of spring, he naturally wants to come and see it for himself. This is just like the farm in the family of Beizhi. At this time, he also wants to go to the farm to see it." Zhang Mu said with a clever inspiration. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a landlord.
"I am a little clever ghost, familiar with Huguang and the world. I can't go that far away, so it's the same for coming here to see. But this is just one of them, the second is to see how many disobedient people there are in my world." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
Zhang Mu felt that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be playing a big game of chess. It seemed that some things happened, probably as he expected, the undercurrents in the court seemed to have not escaped his eyes.
"Do you know who this Old Lady Yan is?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suddenly.
"I really can't understand the secrets of Your Majesty, and I dare not speak nonsense." Zhang Mu replied with a smile.
"He was not named Yan, but Zhang, and was named Shicheng. His nickname was Jiusi. He returned to his old career over the years, but his life was quite good." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a faint smile.
Zhang Mu was shocked and tried hard to calm himself down. He never dreamed that this old lady Yan was Zhu Yuanzhang's mortal enemy, Zhang Shicheng, who was famous back then, and what was Zhang Shicheng's old business? Selling private salt! This explains why the Yan family had accumulated such amazing wealth in just twenty years.
"Everyone says I am a ruthless person, but I don't think much. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Sometimes, I have many things that cannot be controlled. In this world, the people are like straw dogs. People can eat people, so what are you talking about? Therefore, my world cannot be chaotic. No matter who it is, I will not let him go." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly.
Zhang Mu really couldn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang anymore, especially when he heard that Zhang Shicheng was still alive, he was a little messy. According to historical records, after Zhang Shicheng was defeated, he was killed in Yingtian Prefecture. It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang saved his life, and his father was afraid that he was the one who carried out this order.
It seems that most of the words in history books are bullshit.
"After a while, you can set off for Chuzhou Prefecture and secretly entrust the soldiers of Chuzhou to come to see me. As for this case..." Zhu Yuanzhang pinched the note on the table, threw it into the charcoal basin under his feet, and pondered: "Transfer my order and order Jiang Yan to investigate it to the end. No mistakes should be made."
Zhang Mu hurriedly knelt down and said, "As for the order of humble duty."
"Well, get up, hammer my legs again." Zhu Yuanzhang said backwards.
"Damn!" Zhang Mu thought to himself that Lao Zhu had completely regarded himself as their parent worker, and hurriedly beat Lao Zhu's legs.
