Chapter 107 Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma's Evening Chat in the Palace
Night, Jinling Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just returned from his northern tour, received great news. Xu Da's Northern Expedition lasted ten months and captured the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop. The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty fled the capital in a hurry and fled to the Mongolian grassland. This meant that the Ming Dynasty finally completely unified the Central Plains and revived the Han Dynasty.
country!
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and came to the queen's palace to find Queen Ma.
"Sister, we are back, we are back..."
"Hahaha……"
Ma Xiuying was sitting at the table sorting out some small pieces of paper.
"You just say a few words as soon as you come in, but you can't say anything new."
"There are fresh ones, of course there are, and they are all great new things."
"Our Emperor Zhu has three great joys to share with my sister."
"Three things?" Ma Xiuying was a little curious. Shouldn't there be two? She knew about the victory in the Northern Expedition and the capture of most of the Yuan Dynasty, and there was also the matter of Datong Li. So what was the third thing?
"Which three? Tell me and I'll listen."
"The first thing is that a Datong Calendar is worth a million soldiers! Xu Da said it in the memorial, because of the Datong Calendar issued before we ascended the throne, the people in the north wherever we go
Everyone looks happy, everywhere they go they turn into swords and pears, Yuan soldiers abandon their armor, and the people return to their fields!"
Ma Xiuying nodded softly. This was indeed a great joy. A great unified history had won the hearts of the people in the north, which made the Northern Expedition succeed so easily.
"The second thing is that Xu Da has captured Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty! Emperor Yuan has fled to the desert for his life, and the north is settled! Our Ming Dynasty will also be settled!"
"Okay, this is really good... But, Chongba, you said your Datong Li is worth a million soldiers, how much can I give you?" Ma Xiuying asked Zhu Yuanzhang narrowly.
"You...? Who are you?"
"Datongli, that's heaven, Huangtian! You are just a queen, stay behind."
"Isn't it true that there must be no Hou Tu under the Emperor? Besides, who let you see this incident in Tatung Li in the first place? Are you forgetting it now?"
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang remember that the reason why he did not issue the imperial edict before he ascended the throne was because of Ma Xiuying's reminder, and then he suddenly said: "Yes, yes, yes..."
"However, it stands to reason that in this matter, you have made a small contribution..."
"Even? A little bit?... Without me, would Tatongli be able to get under your nose?"
"Based on your impatience, no matter how big the Tongli is, you can't see it."
"I'm embarrassed to use the word blind."
Ma Xiuying rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said angrily.
After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and became the emperor, Ma Xiuying was the only one who could show Zhu Yuanzhang's face and speak like this. This shows Ma Xiuying's status in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
"Hey, this, this, this... we are happy today, so don't quarrel. Don't quarrel."
"Yes, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get down to business. We have a third happy event that we haven't talked about yet."
"What kind of happy event is the third one? Can it be compared with the achievements of Datong Li and Xu Da's conquest of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and shouted out the door:
"Erhu! Bring the things in!"
"yes."
Outside the door, Liao Erhu, commander of Zhu Yuanzhang's guards, came in with a tray in his hand and placed the things in front of Ma Xiuying's table.
"Erhu, please go and invite Wang Ming over. We have something to do with him tonight."
"yes."
After Dahu left, Zhu Yuanzhang leaned close to Ma Xiuying's ear and whispered what happened on the Northern Patrol Road. Ma Xiuying couldn't believe it and cried out: "What? This one can produce a thousand catties per mu? This one is five thousand catties??"
"You also said that it can increase the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for at least two hundred years??? Is it so mysterious?"
"What kind of destiny dynasty can you use to live forever...this..."
Ma Xiuying stood up and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with an anxious look.
"Chongba, you have just become emperor, so you can't listen to the rumors and become obsessed with immortality. Don't you still know the lesson of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty who believed in immortality?"
"Hey, sister, what you said is so serious. What kind of evil words are you talking about? Wang Ming is not a monster. He really has the ability to be a god..."
"I have known him for more than 20 years, and you have known him for more than ten years. Look at his appearance now, but he doesn't look old at all. Instead, he is getting younger and younger."
Ma Xiuying recalled Wang Ming's appearance that had never changed over the years, and her expression changed involuntarily, and she slowly sat down again.
"Chongba, I admit that Wang Ming does have the art of immortality, and he is indeed not a mortal... However, you said that these two things can produce one thousand catties per mu, five thousand catties, I can barely believe it. If it is true, then
It couldn’t be better. If it’s true, the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty will increase not just by two hundred years, but even by three hundred years. I believe it!”
"After all, we have all lived in poverty, and we know how important a bite of food is to us."
"Let's just say that if Chongba could have had something to eat back then, you wouldn't have become a monk and begged, and you wouldn't have joined the rebel army later..."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed when he heard this: "Yes, I heard Wang Ming say that the yield of Hongshu is high, and it also contains sugar. The dried sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time. In times of disaster, just boil a few slices to make a bowl of rice. Back then we
If there were even half a bag of dried sweet potatoes at home, our parents would not be able to survive..."
"This time when we went to Yangzhou during the Northern Inspection Tour, we saw the tragedy of eating easily and losing children. We swore at that time that if we couldn't make the people of Yangzhou full as soon as possible, we would be in vain as kings..."
"Sister, to be honest, we don't really believe it, but Wang Ming suddenly disappeared overnight and gave us these two bags of sweet potatoes and corn the next day. Although we don't really believe it is true, we hope it is true...
…”
"And this thing is easy to verify. It will be planted in Yangzhou this year. It will be clear when Yang Xian reports the harvest. We also specially saved the seeds and brought them back to you. Didn't you leave a vegetable plot behind the palace?
Just plant one yourself and give it a try, and the two of us will verify it together, and we’ll know the answer next year at the latest, right?”
"If, let's say, if these sweet potatoes and corn can really produce a thousand catties per mu, let's talk about the Qi Luck Dynasty, what do you think?"
Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's clear analysis, Ma Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief. She hesitantly grabbed a sweet potato and corn with both hands. After a while, she said firmly:
"Okay, Chongba, I will personally plant these two divine seeds. If it is true, I will fully support your Qi Luck Dynasty."
"But we agreed, if you can live forever, we will live forever together with you, otherwise I won't do it."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he smiled, hugged Ma Xiuying's waist, and made small movements with his hands.
"Of course, if we can live forever, if we don't have a girl to accompany us, then we don't want to live forever!"
Ma Xiuying blushed and smiled and patted Zhu Yuanzhang's chest, feeling Zhu Yuanzhang's unusually hot breath.
"You, you, you, you are touching anything, we are an old married couple... You, eh, why are your bodies so hot, Chongba, are you okay!..."
"You, are you really okay? Could it be that Wang Ming had some evil spell to harm you..."
"No, we know our body and it couldn't be better."
"Well, I forgot to tell you. Wang Minglu uploaded the nine-yang true energy body care regimen that we have been uploading for ten years. Our body has always been so hot and I feel better... I feel like I have returned to the energetic state of ten years ago.
!”
"As for the negative effects, there are..."
"Ah, Chongba, don't scare me. What side effects will you have? Do you want to teach the imperial doctor?"
"The side effect is that we miss you so much...want you!"
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but he felt as refreshed as a god.
Ma Xiuying sat behind him like a cat and hugged him, saying shyly and charmingly:
"Chongba, you make me feel like I'm back ten years ago..."
Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Ma Xiuying's hand with great pride.
"You can believe me this time, we are in good health."
"Hmm... However, it's best to ask the imperial doctor to take a look. I'm afraid it's just a temporary effect and may it hurt your vitality."
"Don't worry, we have seen the imperial doctor a long time ago. The pulse is strong and strong, and there is nothing wrong with it. And it's not just me, but also Liu Bowen. You know that old boy, a weak scholar. After the imperial doctor saw it,
It is said that his pulse is also as strong as a man in his prime."
"If that's really the case... then, that would be great."
"If this is the case, Chongba, then I agree that you will have a few more concubines..."
"Really?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Hmph! So what if it's true or false? Even if I don't agree, won't you accept it? You are the emperor, and if I don't want to, all the ministers will rush to ask you to accept it. Then I will be jealous.
Name."
