No one is willing to be ordinary, no one is willing to be someone else's supporting role all his life, and the same is true for He Xi.
"Who are you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
The tone was calm and not aggressive, but it struck a deep chord in He Xi's heart.
He Xi said hesitantly: "I don't know."
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "I tell you, you can be Jiang Ziya who was born 800 years ago, and Zhang Zifang who was born 400 years ago."
He Xi's blood rushed to his head for a moment, whether he was angry or not. He Xi didn't feel it. He only felt that his whole body was on fire, and it seemed that a breath of air directly pushed open the eardrums. He could clearly hear his pulse from his ears.
Voices.
Like a heavy drum on the battlefield.
"Boom, boom, boom."
It is his passion and courage that echoes.
He Xi felt her mouth was dry, her chest was stuffy, and she was a little out of breath. He Xi tried to calm her mind and said, "Can I do it?"
"Why can't you do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
He Xi said: "I don't have enough experience and I can't do many things well."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Where does experience come from? It comes from doing things. If you don't do one thing well, there will be another thing. In the thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, there is always room for trial and error. Are you still afraid of not having experience? You
As I said before, you have read books for nearly twenty years. In today's world, there are very few people who have the ability to calm down and read books for twenty years. Even if you have read four books and five classics, you are already a talent. Not to mention
, you have the wisdom of six hundred years of people. You have technology that no one has ever valued in this era. These alone are infinitely better than Zhang Liang’s Yellowstone Heavenly Book. More importantly, you are my son-in-law, and you have my support.
, tomorrow, you can walk sideways."
"You are only in your early twenties now. When you are seven or eight years old, why can't you be compared with Jiang Ziya and Zhang Liang?"
He Xi suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. It seemed that within a short time, He Xi's eyeballs were already covered with bloodshot eyes.
He Xi said: "Can I do it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament had calmed down at this moment, and he did not have the heroic spirit that had just filled the universe. Instead, he was like a teacher or elder. He stepped forward, patted He Xi on the shoulder, and said, "Don't you think you can do it?" Then he said, "You yourself.
Think about it here."
Then he strode away, saying as he walked: "Have you figured it out and come find me?"
He Xi did not return the gift at all. At this moment, he stood on the top of the city, watching the sunset. Watching the stars rising into the sky, watching the country gradually darken. Watching the lights of thousands of houses rising little by little, although it is not as good as the urban night scene in later generations.
But Nanjing has a different flavor.
He Xi's warm blood was frozen by the cold of winter.
He also gradually calmed down.
However, He Xi found that he could not go back.
He Xi was not a fool. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that He Xi was worthy of his education. It was not without reason. Although He Xi had just been beaten with blood by Zhu Yuanzhang, he wanted to rush forward and stand side by side with Zhu Yuanzhang. He really felt that he could start the Ming Dynasty for a thousand years.
.Compared with Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang.
What? You mean Liu Bowen.
I, He Xi, Liu Bowen, and Li Shanchang, who are they? Get out of here. Either they are dead or they are old and immortal.
When the body temperature dropped, rationality returned. He Xi breathed a sigh of relief and understood that Zhu Yuanzhang's words may not be false. But some things may not be guaranteed. For example, whether his future Ming Dynasty Jiang Ziya or Ming Dynasty Zhang Zifang will die.
In the hands of the Ming Emperor.
But once ambition is aroused, there is no going back.
Human desires are easy to ignite but difficult to extinguish.
When he thought that he would have the opportunity to become the prime minister of a country in the future, become a star in the history of the world, become a character that primary school students would be admired for, and become a necessary material for high school students to write essays, He Xi suddenly blushed again.
Very excited.
As for the issue of his own personal safety, He Xi has long forgotten it. Because, even in modern times, people are not absolutely safe. Let alone normal accidents such as car accidents and diseases, as well as disappearances at school and disappearances while taking out the garbage. My husband said
Disappearance, such an abnormal accident.
And if he makes his own preparations, he may not be cleared in the future.
Some of the worries are unfounded.
More importantly, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang both said that if a husband is not dead, he will be well-known, but if he dies, he will be famous. The same is true for He Xi. Danger is the danger in the future. There is no danger in anything you do. Say it rudely. He Xi even has a kind of
Feel.
If he can really get to that point, he will be in power and his name will go down in history. Can you give this great head to you?
Since ancient times, I don’t know how many people have paid a huge price for a chance to get ahead in the future. Not to mention the danger in the future, even if the present is a pit of fire, I don’t know how many people have jumped into it without hesitation.
It's just that although He Xi has graduated and suffered some setbacks, she still has the mindset of a student inside. These changes come relatively slowly.
However, this may be a blessing rather than a curse.
Because of He Xi's thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang had already figured it out. If He Xi was really that kind of shrewd and capable person with a lot of central intentions in his heart, he would have been able to get along well in society. Faced with his situation, He Xi might not be able to control it.
In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang personally ignited the fire of desire.
But no one knows where they are anymore.
It was at this moment that He Xi truly realized what he wanted.
For a moment I felt like I had a lot to do.
After all, if he just wanted to live in the Ming Dynasty and wait to die, that would be enough for him now. He would be the consort of Princess Anqing, which would be enough for him to live a lifetime of glory and wealth. But if he really becomes a giant in the imperial court, he will become a great contributor to the thousand-year-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
There is much more that needs to be done.
As Zhu Yuanzhang expected, the estrangement between them was no longer a problem at this moment. He Xi began to work hard spontaneously.
------
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Qianqing Palace.
His face was as calm as water, no different from when he left. It seemed that all his impassioned remarks at the Treasure Collection Gate had never happened. In fact, this was just like the difficulty of capturing He Xi. For Zhu Yuanzhang,
, it’s as easy as eating and drinking.
But as soon as he returned to Qianqing Palace, he felt very uncomfortable.
Without him, Empress Ma was eating fruit and watching the Qing Dynasty drama on the computer. The yin and yang head made Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead buzzing and uncomfortable. Zhu Yuanzhang could do great things outside. At this moment, in front of Empress Ma, he was the remote control.
The little old man who failed in the battle.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sister, can you stop watching this?"
Queen Ma said: "I have just started. You don't know how to charge it. That solar box charges very slowly every day. It was fully charged just now."
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while and said: "You can take it back to Qianqing Palace to see it."
Queen Ma suddenly raised her head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Really?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Really."
Queen Ma immediately stood up and said, "Did you tell me earlier?" As she spoke, she put the laptop, solar charger, and connecting cables in a mahogany box. After they were packed, she asked a eunuch to hold them. About to leave.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Remember this, don't let others see it."
Queen Ma said: "I understand. I understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang drove Queen Ma away. Part of it was because the TV series was too tempting. Queen Ma had been watching it here. He was afraid that he could not bear it. The other reason was that he had learned a lot from computers, and The government affairs have also been delayed for a long time.
What Zhu Yuanzhang needs now is to digest these thoughts and deal with court affairs.
After Queen Ma left.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial and read it carefully. After a quick glance, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He found that the prince's handling of Guo Huan's case was almost exactly the same as his previous opinions. The only difference was that some extrajudicial The additional penalty was deleted.
Not much.
Mostly all executions are just beheading.
Don’t think that the death penalty means beheading, it can be cut in half, quartered on five horses, or executed at an early age. Not to mention stuffing daylilies into skin and so on.
Zhu Yuanzhang still has to give this little benefit.
He is no longer thinking about this matter at the moment. Because there will be a big change in the Ming Dynasty soon. But how to change, he still doesn’t know. He is still waiting for He Xi’s feedback. It is precisely because of this big change. soon.
Nowadays, many major events in the court have become less important. After all, many arrangements are temporary.
The most important thing is nothing more than the Northern Expedition starting next spring.
Apart from this, Zhu Yuanzhang believed in maintaining relationships first and put other things aside.
The Guo Huan case was about letting it go.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised that the prince was unwilling to let go. He thought about it for a moment, and he understood in his heart, and said secretly: "The prince has many thoughts and knows how to measure." Just thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little sad in his heart: " Historically, he died young. Maybe it was because he was too thoughtful."
Zhu Yuanzhang loves the prince, his ministers love the prince, and all brothers love the prince.
Is this kind of love as simple as the prince's benevolence and filial piety? In fact, it is not difficult to maintain a relationship with one person, but almost everyone praises it. It is more difficult to maintain a relationship of this level.
Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed this thought and thought to himself: "This should be Song Lian's idea."
He thought of Song Lian, so he looked at it, pulled out Song Lian's memorial, flipped it through, and was slightly startled. What was written above was Song Lian's petition to reopen the imperial examination.
In fact, if He Xi did not appear, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to restart the imperial examination. This is because the Ming Dynasty requires a large number of talents to maintain its existence. There is a huge talent gap in the imperial court today. This also means that Zhu Yuanzhang abandoned the school talent training system headed by the Imperial College and returned to the original imperial examination within the system.
There is no way around this either.
But now with He Xi, Zhu Yuanzhang had a new choice. But he was not sure what good ideas He Xi would have. After thinking about it, he put Song Lian's memorial aside.
