Next to the pond near the Imperial Garden, the Six Palaces in the East of Forbidden City is a delicate and beautiful water pavilion called Wanqingwu, which seems to be a special and noble person, and is leaping on the clear blue waves; you can see the tall and beautiful purple gold mountain, also known as Fugui Mountain, in the distance.

Xu Hao followed the eunuchs all the way and passed through the halls along the alleys. He couldn't help but think about it. Because there were about 4,000 palace maids on both sides, it seemed that even the air was left with a faint fragrance of powder, and the sweet fragrance was mixed with a bit of sorrow and despair. In addition, thousands of eunuchs were just to serve the emperor! This is the world's top, and the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang was the worst.

Feudal society harms people! Xu Hao, who was enjoying the aristocratic life, sighed quietly, and then waved his sleeves gently without taking away any sympathy.

As I walked, I felt that the terrain of the palace went from high to short, giving people the feeling of going down. Although it was not very obvious, you could see some extremely strong stone slabs with invisible cracks.

It is said that the palace was built on the beautiful Yanque Lake. Comrade Zhu, who loves cows chewing peonies, waved his hand and hundreds of thousands of people landed a lake. In order to prevent the foundation from sinking, many methods were used at that time.

Unfortunately, the ground gradually sinks, and Lord Liu Ji, who is good at building, also passed away. Whenever it rains heavily, the inner palace is like it is flooded with water, and the water flows surging.

Xu Hao reminded himself not to talk too much as he was ordered by Comrade Zhu to inspect the foundation by himself. Forget small projects, just forget about how to repair such a large palace? We are not a professional civil engineering project.

Looking at the Wanqingwu, which was poking out of the water in the distance, the eaves were covered with tiles and painted with paint. This was Xu Hao's first time here, and he used to guard the emperor to the famous Kunning Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang sat inside for two hours to commemorate the deceased Queen Ma.

I also went to the Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager lived in the Qing Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was usually the bedroom of the imperial concubine, and the highest-ranking Concubine Li Shu lived in it. Once, I even went to the Chuxiu Palace, where there were a lot of beautiful women. Yingying guarded a terrible old man and had to stay in the lonely deep palace for most of my life. It was really inhumane.

Well, there are so many palaces in the East and West Palaces where the "little masters" live, no less than a hundred, and there are more than twenty concubines who gave birth to a son and a half daughter. Other beauties often choose attendants, etc. There are 180 people. Apart from the palace people, who remembers clearly?

The most annoying thing is that this year Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to publish the world's thoroughfare and the Hongwu capital city map. These two geographical works that highlight the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the capital city. The map of the Forbidden City drawn on it is simply a mess. The East and West Palaces are two low palaces and a forest, the exquisite imperial garden and a large inner lake have all disappeared.

It's really a secret bell. I really think that the people don't know how wasteful Comrade Zhu is? It's like a dedicated husband, shameless! Xu Hao, who was envious and jealous, kept complaining in his heart.

Because the architectural structure of Wanqingwu is very different from other palaces, Xu Hao speculated that there was a beautiful woman Zhang who was loved by Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years. A person who was nearly 70 years old could give birth to a daughter. As expected, it was very good at being a very good person.

The greatest helplessness of being a minister is that he is often punished to stand up. The older ministers will have a seat to ask for a cup of tea to drink. Xu Hao naturally has no qualifications and can only pass the time by thinking about it.

I didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood today. When teasing his daughter, he asked casually: "Have Xu Hao arrived?"

"It has arrived." Confident eunuch Li replied with a smile.

"Xuan him comes in and let him see my Princess Baoqing." After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, he looked happy, and said, "This son is the grandson of Duke Wei, and he is deeply favored by the King of Yan and his wife. He is distracted from treating me. If you think of him as his young and ignorant, you should treat him as your nephew."

Meiren Zhang was surprised and couldn't appreciate the emperor's intention, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty is trying to fulfill my concubine and let me get a nephew?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that a casual word caused a misunderstanding from his beloved concubine, but then he moved his heart and nodded and smiled: "Yes, this child has a benefit, he values ​​love and friendship. I will feel at ease if he helps you in the future."

Meiren Zhang hurriedly said, "Long live your majesty, I'm still waiting for Your Majesty to choose a prince consort for Baoqing."

"It's hard!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, his expression was a little meaningful, "It seems that it is God's will. I want Xu Hao to do something. He came here by chance. God's will cannot be violated! In the future, you often treat him and comfort him with the affection of an elder. If this son is extremely affectionate, he will be grateful. After a long time, it will not be difficult to regard you as his elder. With his current status, official position and lawless nature, you will be blessed in the future."

Meiren Zhang said in confusion: "I don't understand."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his young girl kindly and said slowly: "One day you will understand, remember my words and don't neglect him."

"Abide by the order." Meiren Zhang's heart trembled, and she stood up with a complicated expression and greeted her.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in praise, reached out and picked up the good baby girl, closed his eyes and pressed his face against his daughter's delicate cheek.

Xu Hao, who had just walked in along the Jiuqu Bridge, was stunned and saw a charming beauty in palace clothes slowly walking towards him.

Xu Hao immediately looked at him without squinting, held his breath and clasped his fists and said, "Xu Hao, the governor of the Jinyiwei, paid homage to the Empress."

"Emperor of the Jinyiwei?"

The beauty Zhang who walked out was surprised by the high-spirited young man in front of her who was particularly elegant than others. She turned out to be a majestic official of the Jinyiwei. Even though the Jinyiwei is no longer valued, she is still the emperor's three personal guards.

From the confidant of the fourth-rank emperor, he walked into and out of the palace like a flat ground. With the support of this young man, he wouldn’t have an important aid in this huge and cold palace in an instant?

Because of the emperor's instructions, Meiren Zhang looked up and down at Xu Hao with a cold attitude when she saw a man, and said with a smile: "What an extraordinary child, I feel very friendly at first sight. Come with me, I will take you to see Your Majesty."

Xu Hao was not as free and easy as the other party, and was frightened. He thought to himself, Comrade Zhu wanted to play a beauty trick? It was impossible! Such a despicable method was not done by the king?

Damn! If you really dare to kill me, I have to force your concubine first!

The furious Xu Hao suddenly seemed to be fearless and dared to pull the emperor off. Anyway, what else is there to be scary about death? He followed Zhang Meiren with his chest raised and his head raised.

When he raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, who was deeply in love with him, was sitting sideways in front of the bed with his baby in his arms, and his hanging heart was instantly put down.

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled out one hand and waved his hand and smiled, "You are going to the palace outside, you are too close to each other. Come and see my daughter, and tell me if it looks good?"

Xu Hao hurriedly stopped. How could I see from such a distance? Liangliang said: "I have a bad look and can't see clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "You are still a military position and your eyes are not as good as me. Then you can take a few more steps and take a look."

Xu Hao didn't move, and glanced at him on tiptoe, saying, "It's not good-looking. What can a baby who has just been a hundred days old? I'll have a good look after a few days. Most of the time, there's nothing unpleasant for the children. Anyway, just don't look like you, you have to be like the empress."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his beard raised up, and he smiled bitterly at the smiling beauty Zhang, who was trembling with flowers and branches, and said, "Look at his mouth? I am surrounded by him, no big or small, no high or low, so I will regard him as a child's words."

"He is still a child!" Zhang Meiren stepped forward and took her daughter carefully, and smiled: "It's rare that there is someone around the Lord who dares to speak."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Now I allow him to be rude. After three years and the age of twenty, I will dare to speak nonsense again and I will be killed by a stick."

Xu Hao suddenly said helplessly: "Bullying the king is a death sentence. Why is it a death sentence for me to tell the truth? My daughter can't look like her father."

"Do you think I can't hear what you mean? I mocked me for being ugly?" Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes.

Xu Hao said frankly: "There is no such intention. The appearance of the emperor is the appearance of a real dragon, and he is also the unique founding king since ancient times. How can he be like an ordinary person?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Since ancient times, there have been many founding kings, why are I unique?"

Xu Hao replied silly: "Your Majesty is not afraid to speak in your life. I only know that your Majesty's achievements are trembling in the past and present, especially when expelling the Tartars and restoring the Han Dynasty, the great contributions are only to heaven! I am not flattering Your Majesty, but to tell the truth. If a word goes against your will, the sky will be struck by thunder."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved, stood up with confidence, raised his head and smiled, "I have long comments on my life. There are many people who flatter me on weekdays, and I don't care about you."

Tsk! Xu Hao despised himself, don’t care what shape you are posing? He smiled at Beauty Zhang and walked out with the emperor.

He walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang with all his steps and heard the emperor say carelessly: "Tomorrow's winter banquet, can you find a way to anger Fu Rang, right?"

Xu Hao sighed and thought that what should come finally came. He did not feel too sad about national heroes such as Fu Youde who were about to die. After all, several famous generals have fulfilled their long-cherished wishes and made their mark in history.

At the age of fifty, he was considered a long life in ancient times. Even if he escaped a disaster because of himself, he would die in bed sooner or later, let alone he didn't have the ability. The most important thing now is to protect their family, otherwise he would be really uneasy.

Thinking of this, Xu Hao suddenly knelt in the snow on both knees and whispered: "I dare to kill your majesty only and not implicate his innocent family."

It was snowing at some point, and snowflakes fell down. Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Xu Hao quietly, the eunuchs and guards, and others hurriedly hid far away.

After a long time there was no movement, Xu Hao felt cold and simply gave in and said: "I dare to guarantee that his family will not be resentful. I will monitor them all the time. Once I find malicious intentions, I will kill them myself and then commit suicide to thank you for your kindness."

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a strange look: "Xu Hao, can you guarantee that your conscience will be like this for the rest of your life?"
