Chapter 55 My babysitter is dead!
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the field, smiling like a chrysanthemum, and asked with a smile: "Our emperor has killed so many people, don't you think the emperor killed too many and was too cruel?"
< br>Before the old man opened his mouth, a man who was squatting on the field to drink water jumped in and said, "Mr. Hongwu killed well. He stood up for us people. It's too late for us to be grateful. Who would object?"
< br>"And who were those people Mr. Hongwu killed? They were all corrupt officials."
"Shouldn't they be killed?"
Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and nodded: "Of course he should be killed!"
"It's a good killing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang responded with a smile, looking proud and proud. He raised his eyes, I glanced at the farmers who were still busy farming, and their faces were full of joy.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Do you really support the current emperor like this? Why do we hear that this emperor has so many bad things?"
The man smiled and said: "We definitely support him. Ah.”
"It was Mr. Hongwu who allowed us to live a stable life, and it was Mr. Hongwu who gave us the land. If it hadn't been for Mr. Hongwu, many of the people in our village wouldn't know where to make a living?"
"Hongwu Good old man.”
“A good man, a good emperor, and he loves the people.”
The man spoke for Zhu Yuanzhang and tried his best to protect him.
Zhu Biao on the side listened to people praising his father, and his face was filled with a smile, feeling proud.
He could feel that these people sincerely supported his father, and he was proud of this.
This is my father.
And my father deserves all this.
Zhu Biao really wanted to call Xia Zhibai at this moment, so that Xia Zhibai could see with his own eyes how his father had won the hearts of the people.
People have a steelyard in their hearts.
Whether it is good or bad for the people, the people will express it intuitively.
His father was not as miserable as Xia Zhibai said.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already smiling from ear to ear, and continued: "Do you really agree with Mr. Hongwu so much? Why do we hear that Mr. Hongwu is not so good?"
"Quite a few. People say that he is a tyrant because he is aggressive and aggressive."
As soon as he said these words, the people on the side fell silent.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly sank. Seeing the people around him looking at him warily, he guessed something and quickly explained: "We are from Huaixi, and we are from the same place as His Majesty."
"We are watching and listening. We came all the way with Emperor Hongwu, but we really felt that Emperor Hongwu was not that good. When he built Zhongdu in Fengyang, the people complained so much that we were sent away for several years."
"Half of our lives were lost. It's there."
"Oh." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, his expression full of depression.
The old man looked at Zhu Yuanzhang for a few times, and listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's accent, and he believed most of it.
He said: "Brother, you, you can't say these things, you are losing your mind. Mr. Hongwu is the emperor, he is different from us." What are you asking for? As long as we don’t increase taxes in the future, don’t collect those exorbitant taxes every now and then, and don’t ask people to serve every now and then, we’ll be considered a saint.”
“It’s good to be alive these days.”< br>
"Be self-sufficient."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. Just as he was about to continue asking more questions, he heard the cry of 'grandpa, grandpa' coming from far away.
The old man also stood up directly, smiling and holding the child in his arms who was running not far away. He would rub the child's face with his beard from time to time, making the child shake his head.
Seeing this sturdy fat boy, Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and said: "This is your grandson. He is really strong. He has a tiger head and a tiger head. What is his name?"
"Bao'er." "Bao" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face stopped for a moment, and then he said: "We also had a nephew before, also named Bao'er. He was very smart. He learned things as if he had learned them before. He was familiar with the classics and was very good at it. Fighting.”
“He was the only educated person in our family at that time.”
"Sometimes he likes to contradict me, and he always provokes me. But a few years ago... he died of illness." Zhu Yuanzhang became depressed.
He used to raise Bao'er as his son.
Baoer is indeed up to date.
He knows how to fight, govern the place, and loves the people. Many people say he has the style of a Confucian general. Sometimes he can't help but ridicule, our old Zhu family has been farmers for generations, how come a scholar general appears.
Just...
When he executed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong on charges of abuse of power, perversion of law and conspiracy, everyone inside and outside the court was in danger and their lives were in danger.
No one dares to advise.
But my nephew Li Wenzhong dared.
Li Wenzhong not only dared, but also dared to persuade him again and again after knowing that he was angry. He could no longer remember what Li Wenzhong wrote in his memorial.
Anyway, it is said that he slandered officials.
He also questioned himself about killing all the heroes and generals. Once there is police on the border or there is a rebellion in the country, who will serve the country on the battlefield?
He was so angry that he wanted to kill Baoer.
What happened to Li Wenzhong in the end? Wen Zhong’s death is not a pity, I hope your majesty will think more about the country and the people
He was very angry at the time, but under the persuasion of his sister, he still pardoned Baoer He was sentenced to death, but his official position was removed and he was kept in confinement at home.
He didn’t want Baoer to die.
It's just that Bao'er didn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and saw himself killing again and again, and finally died in depression.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked gloomy.
The old man hugged his grandson and said with a smile: "Baoer is a good name. Mr. Hongwu had a nephew, also named Baoer."
"Why was Mr. Hongwu's army called Baoer at that time? There is a reason why he is the king's army, because General Bao'er really doesn't commit plunder. "
"He also really knows how to kill those soldiers who have no discipline. I didn't believe this back then. Who in this world can resist robbery? ”
"It turned out that Mr. Hongwu really didn't have any."
"It was also from that time that we, the people, believed that the current emperor's army was the king's division!"
"It's a pity that General Bao'er was He died a few years ago. What a good person you say, why did he die at such a young age?"
"Yes, why did he die?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a low expression. That's the emperor's nephew."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak anymore.
My heart is heavy.
He thought of every detail of his relationship with Bao'er, and regretted that he had acted impulsively, so he had no bad intentions towards Bao'er.
Why couldn’t I hold it back?
When Zhu Biao heard the conversation here, his eyes were a little sad, and he also thought of his brother.
To a certain extent, he had actually always had the idea of competing with this eldest brother in his early years, because his eldest brother was so prestigious.
Not only in the military but also among the people.
In his early years, he actually imitated his elder brother, but as he grew older and his position became more stable, he no longer had such thoughts.
In fact, he has always respected this brother. Li Wenzhong devoted a lot of effort and effort to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been sincerely safeguarding the Ming Dynasty.
He really worked hard for the Ming Dynasty.
It’s just that this person has passed away.
