Li Shanchang was speechless, Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang, father and son, were also thinking about what was deep in their hearts. The atmosphere in the East Pavilion suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, Lao Zhu's decisive voice came:
"Change! We must try our best to let the Ming Dynasty survive this hundred-year disaster safely and spread it throughout the ages!"
"I asked you two to come here today because I want to ask you two to help me look into the details. Is there any way to produce more food to prepare for the future?"
"Also, Mr. Liu, the 'military household system' we drafted in the early years of Hongwu is probably not going to work."
"We still need to discuss and try to come up with a perfect solution!"
Liu Bowen was stunned when he heard this. Didn't you praise the military household system as a good governance that "raises millions of soldiers without costing the people a grain of rice"? Why is it being changed now?
But it suddenly dawned on me. I was afraid that it was the expert who pointed out the shortcomings of the military household system in the future.
"What a powerful master." Liu Bowen marveled in his heart. Before submitting the military household system, he and a group of officials discussed and revised it again and again, thinking that it was a good law that could be passed down to all generations.
Unexpectedly, within a few days, the master made His Majesty decide to change the military household system.
This must be because he saw the harm of the military household system, explained the disadvantages of the military household system to His Majesty, and even calculated the chaos that the military household system would cause in the future. Only then did the extremely conceited Majesty change his order overnight.
Make up your mind to plan ahead.
The conversation is divided into two parts. Not to mention that the four monarchs and ministers were in the East Pavilion and had a heated discussion about the future of the Ming Dynasty. Let’s talk about Zhu Su’s side first.
He couldn't tell whether it was a seizure or a awakening of memories. The memories of the two lives were so intertwined in his mind that it was difficult to distinguish the priority. Sometimes he couldn't tell whether he was currently dreaming or not.
Or is the future world filled with steel and concrete a dream?
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterflies, and butterflies dreamed of Zhuang Zhou. Is Zhuang Zhou a butterfly, or is the butterfly Zhuang Zhou?
"No." Zhu Su smiled and waved his hand. "My son, Jue Qian, will be quarreling with you later."
Your Majesty is not in a good mood and it is not appropriate to ask questions at this time.
After being kept by Empress Ma, Empress Ma personally cooked for the first time and prepared some food for Zhu Su. In the past few days, there were sacrifices in the palace, and Zhu Laowu's mouth was about to fade away. Naturally, he was overjoyed.
He squatted next to Queen Ma, eagerly waiting for the food to come out of the pot.
These things must not be forgotten...Zhu Su secretly thought about whether he should find some time to record down what he could remember.
It wouldn't be wrong to say it was irrelevant. When he was asked about his past life today, he suddenly realized that the memories of his past life were so vague. If it was about something specific, even if he concentrated on it, he couldn't remember it.
"Your second brother and fourth brother complained that they were hungry at night. Mom took you to get up and steamed buns for you to eat in the middle of the night."
"I accidentally slipped down from the tree, and my fourth brother was beaten hard by you!" Zhu Su also laughed. "I still remember that time, you pushed my fourth brother under the bed, and you couldn't reach him.
I was so angry that I didn’t give him anything to eat that night!”
Zhu Su said with a smile. His tone seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
As if remembering Zhu Su's crying appearance, Queen Ma nodded Zhu Su's forehead and laughed again.
"I'm really tired! Day and night, day and night. I work so hard and I don't know why."
"At that time, while my mother was holding you, she went to get steamed buns for your second brother from the steamer. Who would have thought that you, a glutton, would actually reach out to grab them, and the steamed buns would make you cry!"
Liu Bowen became more and more interested in the expert. He secretly checked Zhu Yuanzhang's face and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang did not take the initiative to explain, so he reluctantly suppressed his curiosity.
"I studied in a daze and muddle-headed way for more than ten years. Then I left school and started working for people."
"In my previous life..." Zhu Su's expression became nostalgic. "In my previous life... I was just an ordinary person."
And on weekdays, his filial piety to himself and concern for his brothers are not hypocritical at all.
"I still remember that day, when my second brother saw Baozi accidentally dropped to the ground, he cried louder than me! No matter how much he was coaxed, he couldn't be coaxed!"
"And that time during the Lantern Festival..."
It wasn't until Zhu Su yawned that she woke up from her thoughts: "Su'er is sleepy? It's already noon."
"You two brothers are not easy to get along with!" Empress Ma said with a smile.
She stroked her hair that was wet with water vapor. "Su'er, what kind of person were you in your previous life?"
"After some time, mom will call you over for dinner."
"That time when you and I were on the street, a group of people suddenly rushed out and wanted to kowtow to you. It actually scared me to tears..."
"...Later". Gradually, Queen Ma's voice became dim. "Later, you became ill, and you were ill for half a month. You didn't know about the personnel, and you never got better."
Empress Ma kept asking him to talk about his childhood. After all, he had lived in two lives, so how could he not guess that his mother was wondering if he was an evil spirit who took advantage of his illness to take away his child's body?
"Alas." Zhu Su sighed silently. This was something he had neglected.
"Slow down! You kid!" Seeing Zhu Su eagerly snatching a bun out of the steamer and throwing it around because it was too hot to hold, Empress Ma laughed and said, "You little bastard, sooner or later you will
It's yours, why are you in a hurry? Baozi won't run away."
"It must be that life is too boring, day after day, with no changes, so the memory is blurred." Zhu Su thought. But now that he is in the Ming Dynasty, the knowledge he learned because of his hobbies in his previous life will be put to use in the future.
"Mom, I prayed to God and Buddha, and finally God and Buddha blessed me, and you finally... woke up safely."
"When I woke up from the dream, I was lying in your arms, but suddenly those things appeared in my head..."
In the kitchen, Zhu Su was eating hot steamed buns by the stove while reminiscing about the past with Empress Ma. The scene was very enjoyable.
Lest they be slowly forgotten by me like the experiences in my previous life...
Should I feel relieved?
On the other side, Zhu Su said goodbye to Queen Ma, and his face gradually darkened.
"Oh." Queen Ma replied. She stared at Zhu Su's face, seemingly thoughtful. But Zhu Su was thinking about recording the knowledge and didn't notice it.
Wait until later, and slowly make innuendoes, that's all...
With that said, he called a chamberlain and asked him to escort His Highness King Wu back to the courtyard.
"Then you still remember, when you were seven years old, your fourth brother insisted on taking you to climb a tree..."
From this point of view, it is not that the body is possessed by any evil spirit, but more like that when crossing the Naihe Bridge, I did not drink enough Meng Po soup...
"Later, I slowly remembered the events of my previous life, and remembered that I was a time traveler from more than 650 years in the future..."
"You." Empress Ma, dressed in common clothes and Jingchai, looked like an ordinary folk woman in the steamy kitchen. Seeing Zhu Su enjoying his meal, she couldn't help but show a nostalgic smile on her face and said: "
I wonder if you still remember, when you were only six years old, your father led an army on an expedition and brought with him all the food in the city that could be used as food."
…
"If you don't smile, don't smile." Queen Ma looked at him kindly. "Since you don't want to go to your mother's place, then go back to your place."
When Zhu Su turned around, she showed hesitation on her face. This child still remembered things from her childhood, and even the details were accurate.
Zhu Su had no time to answer. He pinched both sides of the bun with his fingertips and took a quick bite. His handsome face was instantly flushed red. After a while, he exhaled a breath of hot air and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've eaten buns made by my mother. Hehe,
Aren’t you anxious to try it?”
"Why don't I remember..." Zhu Su blushed a little. "I was six years old at that time, but I still cried every day and asked you to hold me all day long."
"Then one day, he suddenly died. It was like a dream."
"Go to mother's Kunning Palace and take a nap. Mother will wake you up soon."
"It turns out that was then..." Queen Ma suddenly realized.
Seeing her fifth son turning back and waving to her from afar, Queen Ma smiled tenderly and waved him away.
"...Yeah." Zhu Su nodded. "At that time, I just felt groggy and confused. But my mind fell into a strange situation. It seemed that something sealed in the dust was gradually awakening."
"I'd better go back to my yard. I'm tired after eating, so don't laugh at me."
"That's it. Life is all about the heart." Shaking his head, Zhu Su stopped thinking about these things. The development of the situation in the past few years has proved that the things in his mind are generally correct.
This is enough. You can use that knowledge to exchange for a life that is more comfortable and carefree than your previous life.
By the way, let the family members you care about in this life have a smooth life.
Let this Ming Dynasty, which is full of regrets, be proud of the world!
