Great Ming National Teacher

Seeing that the sun was starting to set to the west, and the two sons hadn't returned yet, Zhu Youjian was so angry that he kicked down a chair, except for the Forbidden City, and came straight to Xishan Fengyuan Villa with a fierce spirit.

Zhu Cixuan was playing chess with Li Yunya, Zhu Cixuan was watching from the side, and the guard called and said that the emperor was coming, Zhu Cixuan stood up and was about to go out to greet him, Zhu Cixuan grabbed him, and first used the fastest speed to move the chess Pulled it into the flag box and put it back on the Duobao Pavilion, and then pulled Zhu Cihong to kneel beside the bed. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, he immediately begged Li Yunya with a mournful face: "Good father, please feel sorry for your son. If you don't follow When we enter the palace, the father will beat us to death. Do you still remember the last time the father was angry, and when he hit the board, the son almost lost his breath, good father, you love the child the most..." Holding Li Yunya The calf begged coquettishly.

Zhu Youjian knew his youngest son's temper, and seeing him pretending to be so cold that ice scum fell from his face, Li Yunya was about to get angry when Li Yunya pulled his hands over and held them together: "Why did you come out with so little clothes on?" , I don’t even bring the hand stove, my hands are cold, I’ll cover them for you.” Then he cupped his hands and kissed each other.

Zhu Youjian sat on the kang, and the anger that had been brewing for several days could not explode instantly, so he asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you go?"

"Don't you know the reason why I didn't go? It's meaningless to talk about it. I'm just waiting for you to come. The two children and I jointly cooked a table of dishes. We will have a reunion dinner with me today." He handed Zhu Youjian's hand to Zhu Cihong, "Give it to your father, and Xuan'er will serve the dishes with me."

Zhu Cihong obediently stretched out his hand to cover Zhu Youjian's hand. He was only 14 years old, and Zhu Youjian was 32 years old. Seeing that his son really came to cover his hand, the fire couldn't get out anyway, so he pulled Zhu Cihong up with his backhand , Let him sit on the small stool: "What have you been doing here this afternoon?"

Zhu Cihong sat upright on the small stool, with his back straight: "When we came, master was frying meatballs. My brother and I ate some, and then master watched me practice swords, shoot guns, and finally play chess..." He poured beans out of a bamboo tube Said, so anxious that Zhu Cixuan stomped his feet in the back room.

After listening to the elder son finished speaking, Zhu Youjian sighed slightly in his heart. Zhu Cihong was named the prince since he was born, and he has been trained as the future emperor since he was a child. Mr. Youjian felt that the elder son was very pitiful. He was very afraid of himself. Every time he saw himself, he trembled like a mouse seeing a cat. He was far less lively, cheerful and more energetic than the younger son. He often asked himself, is it right? Is there really something wrong with your own education?Maybe he should have adopted Yunya's suggestion and sent him to study in an outside school... Maybe he could set up a royal school and find some children of important officials in the court to study in, so that he could choose more companions for the prince.

In fact, deep in Zhu Youjian's heart, among the two sons, Zhu Cihong has higher expectations and has poured more new learning into Zhu Cihong. Alienated, which hurt him a little bit.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Li Yunya set up a table in the outer room, put the dishes on it, and came in to pull Zhu Youjian: "Come out, my lord emperor, and see how the three of us are skilled."

Zhu Youjian came out and saw a set of bowls and dishes with a hundred flowers blooming on the table of huanghuali. The four large plates were peony, camellia, rose, and peony, each with a main dish, and a large bowl with lotus leaves holding flowers. There are four small plates of plum blossom, orchid, sweet-scented osmanthus, and chrysanthemum, and four snacks of mille-feuille cake, pea yellow, red bean paste, and peony roll.

Li Yunya pointed to the four main dishes and said, "The two children and I made these separately. You can try it and see which one was made by me and which one was made by the two of them?"

Zhu Youjian picked up the chopsticks, and first picked up a roll of shredded pork with Beijing sauce on the peony plate: "The method of tying the coriander on this dried tofu roll is not the usual way, the two sets are interlaced, I am afraid that only Xuan'er can do this." tie."

Zhu Cixuan exclaimed in amazement: "Father! You can tell that I did it just by looking at the binding method! Ah, great father, you are so amazing and proud of your son. After studying for so many years, he can't find it. A suitable word can express one ten-thousandth of your wisdom!"

"Stop flattering!" Zhu Youjian was amused by him, put the shredded pork roll into his mouth, took a bite, chewed carefully, and commented after eating, "The shredded pork is cut in different thicknesses, and the gorgon is too thick, which is thicker than yours." Dad's skills are too bad."

Zhu Cixuan pursed his lips: "That's right, how can I compare with my father." As he spoke, he rolled his big eyes and looked at Li Yunya full of grievances.

Zhu Youjian picked up another piece of mutton, trimmed it a bit, and said with certainty: "This is what your father made." Without comment, he picked up another piece of soft fried chicken fillet, dipped it in some jam and ate it, "This taste is delicious. This taste is also made by Yunya." At the end, he picked up a Kung Pao shrimp ball, and seeing Zhu Cihong's nervous expression, it was not only funny, "Just by your expression, I know you made this dish." Darkly Sighing that the emperor's mentality that I usually taught him was useless, I put the shrimp balls into my mouth, and it was unexpectedly delicious, "You shrimp balls...have you ever done it before?"

"No." Zhu Cihong shook his head, "But I was in the military academy, and I often went camping, catching snakes and fish to eat in the wild, and I could master the cooking process. Just now, Master taught me how to do it, and I made it. I hope my father... "

"It's delicious." Zhu Youjian interrupted him and praised, "I'll make two dishes for you guys to try some other day!" He became interested and had the urge to roll up his arms and sleeves and go into the kitchen immediately. But four dishes, one soup and four snacks are enough. After thinking about it, I suddenly said, "On New Year's Eve this year, the four of us will cook a dish each, Yun Ya, no matter what this year, you will come into the palace with me. "

"Aren't you afraid that people will say that I'm a mess in the harem?" Li Yunya picked up a bamboo cup and poured wine and juice.

As soon as Zhu Youjian mentioned this, he became angry: "What harem do I still have now? The east six palaces and west six palaces are all empty! Isn't my harem just you? You stay outside all day, how can you be decent?"

It was the first time for Zhu Youjian to say such words in front of a third person. Li Yunya was deeply aware of the depth of resentment accumulated over the years, so he quickly put vegetables in his bowl. Holding the small bowl of Clivia and concentrating on eating, Zhu Cixuan murmured and turned his big eyes to look left and right, but Li Yunya gave him a stare before he stopped looking.

Li Yunya fed Zhu Youjian a chicken tenderloin, and said earnestly: "I understand what you mean, but there are still two princesses in the harem. When Emperor Qi was born the day before yesterday, because the wet nurse Hakka stayed in the palace for a long time, they were killed. There are a lot of bad rumors outside, I am not afraid of anything, but the princess is still young, in case something bad is spread..."

"Who dares!" Zhu Youjian slapped the table, causing the dishes to jump together. This is what Li Yunya said. Anyone else would be dragged out immediately and beaten to death with sticks. Li Yunya is his lover. The two little princesses are his daughters, and they are only in their early ten years this year. Someone would say that they are getting along together. Don't say such things, even thinking about them is a crime.

Li Yunya patted the back of his hand to reassure him: "Anyway, I won't live in the Forbidden City anyway."

Zhu Youjian stared at him, huffing and puffing, although Li Yunya's eyes were calm, but he was firm, and he didn't mean to compromise at all, Zhu Youjian finally said ruthlessly: "Then I will spend the New Year with you, and I won't go to the palace. Already!"

"That's not OK……"

"Why not? I'm the emperor! I've done so much for this country with you these years, don't those people even care about spending a year with you? I want to see who is so free Let's take care of these things!" After a pause, he continued, "Let's leave after the Chinese New Year. It is said that the emperor is rich in the world and owns all over the world. I have hundreds of millions of acres of land, but I can only live in the city of Beijing. For the rest of my life, if I don’t go out with you, even if I die, I won’t be reconciled.” He took a piece of mutton and threw it into Zhu Cihong’s bowl, “After the Chinese New Year is over, you start to learn how to deal with government affairs. The throne is passed on to you..."

For an emperor's family, such words may not necessarily mean good intentions. Zhu Cihong shuddered, dropped his chopsticks in fright, and quickly left his seat and knelt down: "Father, my son..."

"Okay!" Zhu Youjian interrupted Zhu Cihong, looked at his trembling son, frowned and sighed, "You are indeed too young, I was a few years older than you when I became the throne, thanks to Yunya Now, otherwise, this country might be in chaos." Suddenly, I remembered Li Yunya's original prophecy, "Your master predicted that my imperial mandate would only last for 17 years, and when the time comes, the country will perish and my family will perish, and I will even hang myself On top of Jingshan Mountain, I didn’t believe it at the beginning, but in the next few years, your master’s big and small prophecies came true one by one, and I was afraid. I thought, now that the fate of the country has changed, my fate of the empire does not need to be changed, and I still follow the days. In 17 years, the emperor will pass on the throne to you, and you will be 16 years old by then, just like me at the time. The difference is that when I ascended the throne, the eunuch was in power. Burning, killing and looting, you will ascend the throne in the future, the country will prosper and your army will be strong, I only hope that you will work hard and make my Ming a step forward, and your master and I can rest assured."

Zhu Cihong said: "When the father is in the prime of life, the sons and ministers are young and ignorant, I am afraid..."

"Needless to say! Let's get up and eat." Zhu Youjian only occasionally showed his little boyfriend's mentality in front of Li Yunya. When facing others, he has always been an extremely majestic emperor, especially as the Ming Empire became stronger and stronger. , his arrogance is getting stronger and stronger. Except for Li Yunya, even many important ministers of the court, even soldiers like Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng, are restrained in front of Zhu Youjian. Like Little Chick, Zhu Youjian set the tone, he could only sit back on the chair and continue eating.
