Chapter 31 Be kind and follow the flow, the Queen talks heart-to-heart
The heavy snow is like flying feathers, flying in the air and spreading all over the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sipping steaming tea in the study while looking at the snowy scene outside through the window pane.
He was in a good mood at the moment. Hearing the eunuch come back and report on the expressions of the ministers in front of Fengtian Palace, he smiled and said: "Poetry is just a small way, and we can only recite a few lines casually. Whether it is good or not is secondary, I just like to see them making a fuss!"
”
Zhang Feng's fourth poem manuscript is placed on the desk, which is written "Qinyuan Spring·Snow".
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the fourth poem manuscript, but picked up the third poem manuscript that had been thrown aside. After thinking for a while, he stood up and headed to Kunning Palace in the snow.
Following Zhu Yuanzhang's order last time, Kunning Palace is now much warmer, and the beast gold charcoal is lit no matter day or night.
"Sister, sister." Zhu Yuanzhang held the poem manuscript in one hand and called Queen Ma at the same time, "Are you feeling better today?"
After Empress Ma took Chen Junzuo's decoction, she was much better now. She basically had no cough during the day, but when she went to bed at night, she still had some cough. In order not to worry Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma did not say anything.
"I feel much better after taking the medicine given by Dr. Chen." Empress Ma looked at the excited Zhu Yuanzhang and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so happy? You just came to Kunning Palace after the morning court?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with his affairs, and most of them had to deal with some things after the morning court, so he had no time at all. However, a heavy snowfall today allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to free up time.
"Sister, let me tell you, we were able to silence those people in court today." Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly, "Every official, not wanting to increase revenue for the treasury in other ways, stares at the farmers every day.
A few poor people, today we will give land tax to the people and let them reclaim the wasteland without being able to afford the science."
"It's much better without Xu Hui coming out to chatter, and the implementation of these things is also very smooth."
"By the way, Guo Heng, the Minister of Accounts, came out and actually came out to talk back. We ignored him at the time and will settle accounts with him later."
Zhu Yuanzhang briefly talked about some things that happened in the morning meeting today.
Guo Yundao didn't have anything else to say at that time, but he didn't expect Guo Heng to show up from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
If Guo Heng knew how Xu Hui fell in love with Zhu Yuanzhang, he probably wouldn't dare to talk in court.
"Master Zhang Tianshi has a kind heart, and His Majesty is also kind-hearted. If the news of lowering land tax spreads, the people will definitely remember His Majesty's good deeds."
When Empress Ma heard this, she knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had listened to Zhang Feng's words and started to take advantage of Tian Fu.
"Mainly for our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of hot tea and said: "For our Ming Dynasty, no matter what others say, we are fearless. We just want to make the Ming Dynasty last longer, so that our descendants of the Han people will no longer be driven by foreigners."
"We also hate those corrupt officials the most. We can't let the decline that Zhang Tianshi said will happen in a hundred years. If anyone dares to stop us and damage our Ming Dynasty, then we have to ask about the sword in our hand. We will never
Be kind and gentle."
Zhu Yuanzhang expressed some concerns to Empress Ma. Only those who have experienced the days when the Han people were of low status can understand how difficult the Ming Dynasty is now.
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang affectionately and said: "Your Majesty, if you think about the people of the world like this, you will definitely make the Ming Dynasty strong and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
The two talked for a while while drinking hot tea, and then Zhu Yuanzhang took out the poem manuscript he had brought.
This was written by Zhang Feng at Zhu Xi's request.
"By the way, there is another poem." Zhu Yuanzhang said, took out the poem manuscript, handed it to Queen Ma, and said with a smile: "Sister, let me show you this poem, we brought it here specially."

When Queen Ma saw the first sentence, she was about to praise her, but when she caught a glimpse of the second sentence, her whole face turned red and she said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't play around, it's still daytime!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Zhang Feng even dared to write this, so he naturally dared to show it out.
He laughed loudly and said: "Sister, this song was requested by the second son without hesitation. Zhang Tianshi wrote it according to this brat's request."
Zhu Yuanzhang started to explain, and then Empress Ma realized that this was what Zhu Feng asked Zhang Feng to write, and it was for picking up girls. No wonder it was written like this.
After hearing this, Queen Ma was so angry that she wanted to beat Zhu Xi now.
"The child is misbehaving, Your Majesty, why should you follow in the mischief?" Queen Ma said and handed the poem manuscript back to Zhu Yuanzhang, and continued: "When Chen'er comes out, ask him to remove the second sentence and keep the first sentence."
Empress Ma was embarrassed for Zhu Fang. If this kind of poem was given to a girl, she would be fine with the first line, but she would definitely shout "Deng Tuzi" when she saw the second line.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is also a good first sentence of this poem."
They only thought the first fourteen characters of this poem were good, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to look directly at the latter ones.
Empress Ma nodded slightly and said, "That's true. I just read the first sentence and it touched my heart very much. But the second sentence, hey, Ping'er also likes to make mischief."
"Sister, that brat will come out tomorrow night. Then, let's ask him to come over and teach him a lesson." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Ping should be beaten less, and he would not be obedient if he did not beat him.
"Let him come to my place more often. I have always missed them when I have not been in the capital for the past two years." Zhu Fang was very smart when he was a child, and was very popular with Empress Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly. It might be difficult for Zhu Ping to run all the way to the palace this time. He said: "Sister, the second brother has a heavy responsibility now. Zhang Tianshi only recognizes him. We still have some things for him to ask."
Empress Ma also knows that state affairs are important, and she is also happy in her heart. Zhu Ping is at least somewhat useful now, which is worthy of a mother's happiness.
"Of course, national affairs are important. Your Majesty does not need to ask for my opinion on these matters. As long as Chen'er is doing things for the country, even if I don't see him, I will be happy from the bottom of my heart."
Queen Ma is known to everyone to be reasonable.
Especially when I heard that Zhu Ping was shouldering a heavy responsibility, I wanted my son to perform even more.
Empress Ma continued: "Don't treat Tianshi Zhang badly. He has such a kind heart. When the prison term is over, Tianshi should be allowed to return to his Taoist temple."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was not embarrassed. It was not up to him to decide when the term would expire.
"My sister is right. We have also asked people to go to the Taoist temple. When Zhang Tianshi expires, we will let him go back." Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "In addition, we are also planning to let people find a place in the capital to build a star observatory.
You can also invite Zhang Tianshi to take a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang had already made plans for building a star observatory, and the site is still being selected.
Once the selection is completed, it will take more than a year and a half at least.
