Not to mention, in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong was killed and Prime Minister was dismissed. Zhu Yuanzhang's government affairs increased exponentially. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang did not review the memorials last night, so many things were left in the morning meeting today, so that the morning and afternoon meetings were directly related
Connected.
He was busy until after the evening dynasty and when the lanterns were first lit, Zhu Yuanzhang had time. He summoned He Xi again.
He Xi did not dare to neglect to tidy up his clothes and come to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still sitting in the empty hall, with the table covered with memorials. After seeing He Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang said to He Xi: "Zen Master Dazhi is no longer here. I am your elder. You are my nephew. From now on you will
Just listen to it and use it here."
He Xi immediately said: "The common people understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Are you still called a grassroots citizen?"
He Xi was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You can call me uncle."
He Xi immediately said: "My nephew pays homage to my uncle." He paused slightly and said: "Your Majesty, my nephew dare not say how talented he is, but he has been studying for twenty years. I also ask my uncle to give my nephew a job to serve the imperial court.
Chance."
The reason why He Xi said this was because he felt insecure in his heart.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention a man-eating tiger like Zhu Yuanzhang.
He Xi did not dare to think that he could sit back and relax because of his special status. He decided to be a useful person to Zhu Yuanzhang. Only in this way could Zhu Yuanzhang be merciful.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment. In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the most important thing about He Xi was the information he brought from later generations. As for He Xi's own abilities, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care too much. Zhu Yuanzhang called him uncle and nephew because he wanted to draw closer to each other.
Regarding He Xi's desire to prove himself, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Since you have this intention, just sort out the documents for me."
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of staying up late tonight.
After all, he is already in his fifties. He didn't sleep a wink last night. If he doesn't sleep today, he won't reach the age of seventy.
He Xi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Xu Zheng." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
A middle-aged eunuch immediately came in from outside, saluted and said, "My slave is here."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This is my nephew. He will sort out the documents for me today. You can take care of the arrangements."
Xu Zheng immediately said: "I understand." Then he saluted He Xi and said, "I have met my nephew."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and yawned. At this moment, He Xi realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was actually very tall. He just sat there and was not conspicuous. Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked to the harem.
After He Xi watched Zhu Yuanzhang leave, He Xi looked at Xu Zheng and found that this was no longer the eunuch from yesterday. But she didn't think much about it and said, "Eunuch Xu, please give me some advice."
Xu Zheng said with a smile: "The young nephew is joking. What is the identity of the young nephew? If you need anything, just give me a few instructions and I will definitely take care of it for you."
He Xi said: "Look, Your Majesty asked me to sort out the documents. Where are the memorials below?"
Xu Zheng said: "Master nephew, come this way." Then Xu Zheng led He Xi to a side where there were numerous memorials piled on top. He Xi opened them and looked at them.
Although the traditional Chinese characters are written in calligraphy, it gives He Xi a headache. But after thinking about it for a while, he can still understand it. After all, the memorials sent up from below are determined not to engage in the art of calligraphy with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Regular script, no reading difficulties.
Just He Xi felt a little confused.
I found that these memorials are not classified. They are only divided into two categories, one is those that Zhu Yuanzhang has reviewed, and the other is those that Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet reviewed. As for the six volumes and nine ministers, there is no subdivision.
He Xi said: "Why is there some chaos here? The memorials from various departments are not separated."
Xu Zheng felt a little ashamed and said, "I am illiterate."
He Xi was stunned and suddenly understood.
Nowadays, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are not at all the internal ministers of the Ming Dynasty in later generations. They don't even know the words, how can they take on these common affairs.
He Xi said: "Please bring me a low table, and by the way, get me some more lamps, and get me some pencils."
"Pencil?" Xu Zheng said.
He Xi frowned slightly. He was not used to writing brushes. Although he brought one or two gel pens, he was reluctant to use them now. He could only use pencils. It seems that Xu Zheng didn't know about pencils. He Xi secretly said: "
These days, you should have a pencil." He suddenly felt something in his heart and said, "It's the eyebrow pencil used by ladies."
Xu Zheng said: "This slave will know."
He Xi said: "Please hurry up."
Xu Zheng agreed, and after a moment, the eyebrow pencil, desk, and lights were all delivered.
Xu Zheng selected all the oil lamps and turned on all the lights. Then he took the memorial and started working.
Classify various memorials according to six parts and nine ministers. In fact, this classification has already existed. Then read the memorials one by one, write out the abbreviations, and then separate them by priority. It is easy to say, but not easy to do. Because He Xi discovered that Zhu Yuanzhang
There are about a thousand volumes of unprocessed memorials. If He Xi wanted to process them all, it would probably take him all night.
Let's say that He Xi was in the Palace of Qianqing, burning the midnight oil and fighting at night. In the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang also rested with the queen.
The surrounding curtains hung down, covering the crib firmly. It seemed like there was an independent space between heaven and earth.
In the darkness, Emperor Ma moved Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "What happened? I didn't sleep last night. Why can't I fall asleep now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a dull tone: "Actually, it's nothing."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had a deep love for each other, and Empress Ma had been Zhu Yuanzhang's virtuous wife for many years. But Zhu Yuanzhang still did not want to tell Empress Ma about this matter. On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood the principle that if you keep secrets, you will lose your virginity.
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.
Queen Ma said: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. We have been husband and wife for many years. Nothing is wrong with you like this. In my mind, this situation with you has only happened three or five times. The first time was
When you were preparing to leave Haozhou City and lead twenty-eight brothers to explore, even I stayed in Haozhou City. One of the disadvantages was that we were separated forever. That was how you were at that time. Also, when you decided to cross
When Jiang conquered peace, the Tatar navy was strong at that time. We didn't have many ships in hand, so we sent people to appease the Chaohu navy, but there was no news for a long time, and you were the same. Then there was the time when Chen Youliang besieged Nanchang---

Zhu Yuanzhang broke out in the Lihuai dialect and said: "What's wrong with you bitch? Once you open up the old accounts, there will be no end."
