It is said that in 1368 AD, Comrade Zhu Chongba was proclaimed emperor in Nanjing, the country name was Daming, after the construction of Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang once went to the street to pay a private visit, during which he met a big fairy on the street.

This big immortal's business is quite good, many people surround him and let him measure words and hexagrams or something, it seems that this big fairy is quite smart.

Comrade Zhu Chongba pondered whether he should also find Daxian'er to calculate the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty? Thinking of this, Zhu Chongba also walked up.

Zhu Chongba: "Daxian, you can test a word for me." ”

Daisen: "What word?" ”

Zhu Chongba: "Ming." ”

Daisen: "What to measure?" ”

Zhu Chongba: "Fortune." ”

After hearing this, Da Xian'er hurriedly pulled Zhu Chongba and whispered to him: "Brother, do you want to test our Ming Dynasty's national fortune!" ”

"That's all we're going to tell you!" Seeing that Comrade Zhu Chongba looked like this, Da Xian'er stroked his beard and pretended to be profound.

Zhu Chongba: "Okay, Daxian, you come and listen." ”

Daxian put his mouth to Zhu Chongba's ear, lowered his voice and said slowly: "Daming prospered in the southeast, and will eventually die in the northwest!" ”

Zhu Chongba was very unhappy when he heard this, but he still held back his anger, and after paying the money for the word test, he turned around and left. ———— excerpt from "Ming Taizu Record Vernacular Edition"

"Virtuous nephew, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense above the court!" Meng Zhaoxiang saw that Liu Hong was getting more and more boundless, so he couldn't help but secretly move behind Liu Hongjian and whispered a few words, but Wei Zaode listened to it just right.

"Hahaha! I also said that I was a person who sold fame and reputation, but I didn't expect to be a crazy talker! If there is really a demon, it is also you, the one who has been struck by lightning, and you are not afraid to blow the cowhide open! Playing the emperor, this person is disrespectful, untrustworthy, and asks the emperor to cure this person for the crime of bullying the king! ”

Kicking his nose and face has always been Wei Zaode's forte, and he also saw Meng Zhaoxiang's anxious face, thinking that if even Old Meng didn't know about such a big thing, it must be this kid who was blind.

But what Wei Zaode didn't expect was that Chongzhen, who shouldn't have believed it the most, was convinced of it, for a very simple reason, just as the true portrait of Zhu Chongba was unknown to outsiders, the record of this story did not appear in the Taizu Records of the Hanlin Academy, but was specially excerpted in a secret book that only the emperor was qualified to read.

In fact, although Zhu Chongba felt that the great fairy was probably talking nonsense, in view of the fact that the first half of the prophecy barely made sense, he still felt that he should be on guard, so he later divided his son to all parts of the country.

Deliberately singled out a few who could fight, and set up nine great kings, who were specifically responsible for guarding the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty, so that when Chengzu Zhu Di cut the domain, he only cut off the military power of some vassal kings in the interior, and did not easily move the vassal kings of the nine sides.

"How do you know if I brag about it, if I don't say anything else, if my fire gun can really hit 300 zhang, dare to ask if it will also cure you for the crime of bullying the king?"

Hearing that this uncle surnamed Wei was making noise again, Liu Honggradually became unhappy, thinking that I didn't provoke you, why can't I get along with me, the so-called coming and not being rude, since you want to toss me and make me unhappy, then I naturally can't make you comfortable.

"Your Majesty, this surnamed Wei slandered the little one, the little one felt very wronged in his heart, and the little one hoped that the emperor could give him a chance to prove himself! If my firearm can't hit that far, the little one is willing to admit that he is bragging, and eat the cowhide, and then obey the emperor's disposal! ”

Although Liu Hongjian despised Wei Zaode very much in his heart, he still pretended to be bullied by the ministers on his face.

Chongzhen didn't expect a good court to be like this, now he feels a little difficult to ride a tiger, if he doesn't agree, he will become not a person inside and out, just let them toss, anyway, he himself wants to see if this kid is lying, if there is really such a powerful fire gun in the world, it is also the blessing of the Ming Dynasty.

"Exactly! Retreat! Chongzhen's heart was a little confused, but he still said lightly, and after speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

"Your Majesty, the little one hasn't finished yet!" Seeing that Chongzhen was about to run away after saying two words, Liu Hong gradually shouted.

"Shaft, what else do you have to say!" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned by Liu Hong's half-sentence anger, but he still stood still.

"The little one was first suspected of receiving the reward by this Lord Wei, and because of his slander, he had to bear the charge of defrauding the king, and if he couldn't hit that far with the small firecracker, not only would all the rewards be gone, but he would also have to eat cowhides, and there was also the danger of losing his head."

Liu Hong paused slightly, brewed his emotions by the way, and continued.

"But if the little one proves that what he said is true, the little one thinks that this Lord Wei should also be punished in the same way, otherwise who else in our Ming Dynasty would dare to take the lead for my Ming Dynasty, without these soldiers being born and dying, can some people still stand here and enjoy it safely?"

"The little heart is really crying more than that huanglian, and more wronged than that Dou E, the emperor!" After speaking, Liu Hong gradually knelt down with grief and indignation.

If you want to say that Liu Hong's words are reasonable, it seems that people are telling the truth, and what the soldiers who fought and killed the enemy on the front line hated the most, that is, the officials in the rear lightly erased their achievements in the bloody battlefield.

"Your Majesty, the last general also thinks that what this kid said is reasonable." Zuodu Governor Wen Yao picked up the roe deer and knelt down, as a military general, he was born to deal with these civil officials who are also close to each other, although he usually doesn't provoke him, and he doesn't bother to deal with it, but today is different, everyone is bullied to the head.

"The last general seconded it!"

"The last general also thinks that what this kid said is true!" A man who looked five big and three thick knelt down and said.

After a while, the generals knelt on the ground, not so much that they believed that Liu Hongji's fire gun could fight three hundred zhang, but rather to fight for the generals, for more than 100 years, Wenchen has been pressing the generals, and the credit they earned by throwing their heads and spilling their blood was wiped out by these trembling old men in a few words.

If he really told the truth, the fire gun could hit three hundred zhang, which is incredible!

The court suddenly fell into a cold field,

"Humph! If his fire gun can really hit that far, Weichen will get rid of this Wusha and return to his hometown! ”

Wei Zaode stood up, ashamed that he was supposed to be treated the same as a punk as the first assistant, but he was great and proud of his magnanimity in accepting provocations.

But before his self-satisfaction lasted for a moment, he was almost outended by anger.

"If you lose, you have to eat cowhide!" Seeing that Old Man Wei stood up and looked righteous and awe-inspiring, Liu Hong gradually became unhappy.

"You ......"
