"Your Majesty—?" Liu Bowen quickly stood up and was about to salute.

But Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Sir, don't be polite, sit down and reply, right?"

Liu Bowen responded and sat down again.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who took off his yellow robe, looked less majestic than the morning court, but the tiger was a tiger. Even if he had his minions, his kingly demeanor was still revealed at all times.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just sat down, glanced at Liu Bowen, reached out and lifted the teapot without saying a word, poured the boiling water into the teacup. The tea water rolled, and the tea leaves were soaked in a moment, and a fragrant tea fragrance slowly spread.

Zhu Yuanzhang pushed one of the cups to Liu Bowen, reached out and picked up the teacup, plastered a sip of the tea, and said in a lukewarm tone: "Sir, are you better?"

Liu Bowen bowed and said, "Thank Emperor Hong Fu, I am already in good health, is it much better?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "That's good, that's good. Now the Tartars still have strength, and Wang Baobao still has 100,000 elite troops to defend the north. Is there a sir left by my side for a moment?"

"Your Majesty is over the award!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, his eyes flashed, and said, "Sir, are you dissatisfied with me for my reward yesterday?"

Liu Bowen's heart beat, and his face changed rapidly, but he was a person who had been through the wind and waves. In that moment, he sighed and smiled indifferently, and said, "I dare not hide it. I did have some complaints at first, but I believe in the emperor. The emperor must have your reasons for doing this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen with satisfaction, nodded and said, "After Emperor Gaozu of Han became emperor, he feasted the ministers in the Nangong of Luoyang. During the banquet, he chants and monarchs and ministers drank together. Liu Bang seemed particularly happy. He said, "You are all telling the truth, why can I seize the world? Why did Xiang Yu lose the world?" The ministers were different. Emperor Gaozu of Han finally said, "You only know one thing, not the other. You plan to win the tent and win thousands of miles away. I am not as good as Zifang (Zhang Liang); I am not as good as Xiao He; I am not as good as Xiao He, commanding a million troops, winning the battle, and conquering the attack, and I am not as good as Han Xin. These three people are heroes among the people. I can use them, so I can win the world. Xiang Yu has only one Fan Zeng but cannot be reused, so he was defeated in my hands."

Yashe was silent for a while. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a few sips of tea, spoke again, "I am the same. I will pacify the world by relying on the prime minister, governing the country, pacifying the people, supplying military supplies, providing food and wages, and stabilizing the rear. The gentleman planned the tent and winning thousands of miles away. As well as Xu Dachang Yuchun and his two men commanded a million troops, and they would win the battle and conquer the attack. I had four people in the world.

In the Battle of Longwan, in the Battle of Poyang Lake, in the Battle of Anfeng, in the Battle of Pingjiang, and today's Northern Expedition, if it weren't for the planning and winning thousands of miles away, I would have lost my imperial career today?"

Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty has been awarded too much. All of this is the result of Your Majesty knowing people and servicing their leadership well. We are just an assistant. Everything is your Majesty's contribution."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled indifferently and said, "How can I not know about Mr. Mr.'s achievements? I awarded Mr. Mr. Earl, not Duke, and even the salary is the lowest. It is not that I think Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Xu, General Chang, is he of other intentions?"

Liu Bowen's heart skipped and said, "Your Majesty——?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, stopped Liu Bowen's words, and continued to say to himself: "In the world today, the Tartars still have strength, and I dare not take it lightly. In addition to the gentleman, the rest of the civil and military officials in the court are a group of soldiers in Huaixi. My country also needs them to make achievements for me. As the leader of the Huaixi soldiers, Li Shanchang dispatched all the generals for me, stabilized the rear, and worked hard and complained. I cannot let him down. Therefore, I rewarded him the most, hoping that he could understand my intentions, better lead the Huaixi soldiers, help me drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains, and completely photovolve the country of our Han people!"

"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and I am deeply impressed by the humble position?" Liu Bowen said with sincerity.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Although I did this, I have not forgotten the gentleman. He is honest and talented, and does not form cliques or favoritism. He is the person I trust the most. I am afraid that the reward to the gentleman will be too high and will be very detrimental to what he is about to do, so he decided to give such a reward?"

Liu Bowen glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang quickly, and his heart suddenly accelerated a few times, and said to himself: "Can't it be that as Yang Xian said, the emperor had already become suspicious of Li Shanchang. Henggu's only reward was to remove him from his position as prime minister. Among the people, the emperor chose himself to reduce his reward to me?"

"I wonder what Your Majesty asked Bei Yi to do?" Liu Bowen suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Sir, don't worry, I have a few questions to ask. When I ask, I will tell you what I will do for me?"

Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, please ask? I will know everything and say everything!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and did not immediately ask, lifted the teapot again, stored a cup of water for himself, then injected tea into Liu Bowen's cup, put down the teapot, picked up the teacups again, and said, "I wonder if sir, can you drink this Fengyang tea?"

Liu Bowen slowly lowered his heart. After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he quickly lowered his eyes and glanced at the cup of tea that had been soaked, which emitted a faint fragrance. He took a deep breath, and the fragrance was heart-wrenching.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said with a smile: "This is Fengyang's old tea, sir, why not have a drink?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Bowen picked up the cup and drank it all.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How does it taste?"

Liu Bowen said: "The taste is sweet and has a terrifying fragrance. Is it a top-notch tea?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and did not continue to say anything. He reached out and picked up the teacup, and delivered it to his mouth with grace. He blew it gently, then put it into his lips, and slowly urged it. After squirting twice, he put down the teacup. He heard it, "The Prime Minister is lenient on the outside but private on the inside, and is in favor of the law. With his current national power, it is difficult to take the position of Prime Minister. According to Mr., if I dismiss the Prime Minister, who is suitable?"
