Chapter 570

"My servant pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's peace!"

Outside the Dashan Hall, the eunuch and Nie, the supervisor of Shangshan, was about to enter the hall with a dish. When he saw Zhu Yunxie coming, he hurriedly saluted.

"Excuse me, how's the emperor's appetite recently?"

It was not yet noon, but Zhu Yuanzhang had lunch early, so he ate at this time.

"Returning to His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has a good appetite. He can eat two bowls of rice every time, but he eats less meat and vegetables, especially pork. Sometimes he eats one or two slices, and sometimes he doesn't touch his chopsticks..."

"The servant thinks that the emperor thinks the fat is greasy, so he wants to remove the pork and replace it with other meat, but each meal is a meat dish that the emperor decides, and the servant also..."

"I understand."

Zhu Yunxi said: "It's not that you can change it if you say it, even I have to follow him, as long as you make other dishes richer and let him eat more, that's all.

As long as the elderly are old and have a good appetite, it means that they are in good health, so I can rest assured. This is also a credit to your attentive service. "

And Nie bowed and said, "It's all the duty of a servant girl, I dare not take credit for it."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Come on, I'll send it over, and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks." As he spoke, he took the dish from Nie's hand.

"Yes, slaves will prepare now."

Entering the side hall, I saw Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on a chair, with several dishes on the table in front of him, preparing to eat.

Zhu Yunxi imitated his humility, "The food is here, please use it, the Supreme Emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw that it was his grandson, and a smile appeared on his face, "Why are you here, and you even stole Ernie's job."

"Grandson misses Grandpa Huang, so he came here to see him. Seeing that Grandpa Huang is in good health, grandson is relieved." He put the dishes on the table and sat down,
He also urged: "And Nie, where are the bowls and chopsticks? Why haven't they been brought up yet!"

At this time, Nie just came in, holding a tray with both hands, on which was a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks, "The servant girl is here, please use it, Your Majesty." Then he put the chopsticks and rice in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the previous court will definitely be very busy. If you don't stare at this time, you have time to run here to enjoy the autumn wind."

Zhu Yunxi took a mouthful of rice, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and said while eating: "It's just a meal, what's the matter, I really want to talk about the autumn wind... Hehe, bring some good things when my grandson leaves..."

He raised his head and said to Qingtong who was standing beside him: "Qingtong, take a look at the precious treasures in Grandpa's palace, and when I leave later, you can quietly bring them to me..."

Qingtong knew that the grandfather and grandson were joking, so he said, "The treasures of the Supreme Emperor's old man are well hidden. Even if the slaves are interested, they can't find them..."

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "You old man, you dare to think about our things. Whenever you lose something, it must be you who stole it. Hit your board first! I promise you will not be wronged!"

After a few people laughed, the atmosphere in the hall became extraordinarily warm.

Zhu Yunxi picked up a piece of pork belly. Seeing that there were beans under it, he tasted it and thought it tasted good. "This steamed meat is good. It's fat but not greasy. The dried beans are also steamed thoroughly and delicious. It's a good dish! Grandpa, please try it." ..."

Zhu Yuanzhang watched him pick up a few more chopsticks and put them in his bowl, and half of the steamed meat went down immediately.
I couldn't help staring at him: "Eat slowly! There's only this meat dish on our table, and you've picked up more than half of it for a few yuan. You don't know how to eat it! You're trying to prevent us from eating it!"

"No no……"

Zhu Yunxie chewed on the vegetables and said, "Grandpa Huang's food is delicious. Doesn't this whet the appetite of grandson? Whether you eat it or not, Grandpa Huang, grandson will eat it all if you don't..."

As he said, he was about to pick up the plate and put it in his own bowl. Zhu Yuanzhang became anxious when he saw it.

Naturally, the level of food protection cannot be underestimated!
I saw a big hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the plate, and with a whoosh, the pork belly and beans disappeared!
When Zhu Yunxi reacted, the remaining pieces of meat had already entered Zhu Yuanzhang's bowl...

Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled wryly, "Grandfather, why did you fight with your grandson? Shouldn't you love the younger generation? Of course, if there are good things, you should give your grandson to eat..."

"shit!"

Zhu Yuanzhang proudly picked up his own bowl, and said proudly: "No matter which theory it is, it says to honor the elders, so what do you mean by caring for the younger?"

"Grandfather, you are making too much sense, the Tao of Confucius and Mencius is very clear..."

"Then tell me, let's eat first..."

"Ahem... Grandpa Huang, please slow down, this man is not full yet..."

"Save some for us!"

"Eat slowly!"

What kind of food is the most delicious?
Of course it's grabbing food!

And Nie and Qingtong, who were standing by the side, were stunned, how much the Supreme Emperor ate!
Such a good appetite can only be had when His Majesty comes down...

"Uh……"

Zhu Yunxi put down the bowl and chopsticks, burped, and couldn't help touching his round belly.

At this time, the table was already in a mess, and all that was left was some soup and water. Several dishes were swept away, and what was eaten was called a clean one!

And Nie brought tea, but Zhu Yunxi had no appetite to drink, so he had to hold it in his hand for a show.

"We father and son are playing chess?" Zhu Yuanzhang suggested.

"Okay, then the grandson will accompany Grandpa Huang!"

Qingtong hastily set up the chessboard on the desk, and the two moved over to start the game.

Zhu Yuanzhang likes to play chess, and Zhu Yunxi will naturally follow him to play a lot. Although a game of chess can be entangled for a long time, after all, the level is limited and most of them lose.

Today's game of chess also ended with his veteran being eaten.

Even though he lost, it didn't prevent him from sending Rainbow Fart, "Grandpa Huang's chess skills are getting better and better, my grandson admires it!"

"It's not that our chess skills are superb, it's that your mind is not on the chessboard at all, otherwise we won't be as easy as today even if we want to win,
Come on, what are you thinking? "

Zhu Yunxie laughed and said: "Grandpa Huang, it's nothing serious. My grandson was overwhelmed by Grandpa Huang's majesty, and lost his mind for a while. Let's play another game. This time, grandson will definitely regain his glory!"

"Forget it, let's see that Xiongfeng will not be able to cheer up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at him and said: "Don't hide it, let it go!"

"Ahem, there really is such a thing..."

Zhu Yunxi then talked about the establishment of the Penghu Inspection Department, and also said that Zhang Fu encountered Japanese pirates and Ryukyu tribes in the Penghu Islands and kidnapped the people of Ming Dynasty as slaves.
Zhang Fu's soldiers chased them, fought with them, and later fought with a dozen tribes in a row, basically talking about the pacification of Xiaoliuqiu.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised after hearing this, although this is also an achievement of destroying a country.

But everyone knows that in some Western countries, some lands are pitifully small, some have pitifully small populations, and some are pitifully poor...

If you want to kill them, it's like cuddling grass and beating rabbits, just like playing!
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty's well-trained navy soldiers and horses, even some pirates can dominate those countries!
Didn't Chen Zuyi of Old Port gather thousands of mobs to occupy a country and call himself king?

Not to mention Xiaoliuqiu, an island that has no political power and no king, and is just an island where various tribes live.

Daming called it a country, but in fact it was nothing more than a land without an owner!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his own son and said, "Do you want to bring Little Liuqiu into the territory of Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to see through his mind immediately!
He widened his eyes, opened his mouth, made an exaggerated expression on his face, and said with a look of shock: "Grandfather, you really can pinch and count! Grandson just has an idea, and you have seen through it." Already!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "What's so hard to guess?

The pirates and the tribes of Xiaoliuqiu colluded to plunder the people of Ming Dynasty, even if they hit their home island, they had to snatch them back!Not only is there no fault, but it has merit! "

"If you don't want to include them in the territory of Ming Dynasty, you can just order Xiaoliuqiu to do it, and that's justified! What's the embarrassment?"

"Since it's difficult, it must be because Xiaoliuqiu is included in the list of countries that will not be conquered before, so it's difficult for you."

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yunxi looked up to the sky and sighed, "The one who knows my heart is none other than Grandpa Huang..."

"Stop flattering!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Although we listed Xiaoliuqiu as a country that will not be conquered, it is because it did not hinder Ming Dynasty, and it is not a good place because of the high mountains and forests, but I did not expect them to be so bold that they dared to fight with Japanese pirates." Collusion!"

"Setting up prefectures and counties in Xiaoliuqiu, what are the benefits to Daming?"

Zhu Yunxi replied, "Grandpa, the Song Dynasty was rich because of sea trade, so even though the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively peaceful, it had more money, grain and taxes than Ming Dynasty, and to carry out sea trade, the location of Xiaoliuqiu is the key..."

……

Coming out of the Dashan Hall, Wang Zhong prepared a sedan chair and invited him to take it.

But Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, "Let's go, I'm a little full." As he spoke, he walked forward and gently rubbed his stomach.

Wang Zhong hurriedly followed behind, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty does eat a lot. Normally, this is almost twice the amount. Your Majesty should not overeat, it is not good for your health..."

"What do you know!"

Zhu Yunxi said: "I don't want to eat more, how can Grandpa Huang be so happy!"

"Oh oh oh... this servant understands..."

Wang Zhongdao: "Your Majesty, this is a colorful dress for entertaining relatives, hehe..."

"What are you laughing at, you idiot!"

As elders, I usually like to see juniors have a good appetite, the more they eat, the happier they are.

In addition, there was a good show of "competing for food" with Zhu Yuanzhang, and I ate too much without knowing it.

But it is worth it to make the elderly happy.

In the Dashan Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang also stood up, "Go, let's go to the yard for some activities, I'm too full to eat."

Qingtong said: "It's cold outside, the emperor should put on a cloak."

"It's not the coldest time yet, no need." He patted his stomach, "Make us some hawthorn tea, otherwise we won't be able to eat dinner."

"Yes, the servant obeys." Nie replied.

While walking with Zhu Yuanzhang, Qingtong said: "The emperor has a really good appetite today, and so does Your Majesty, he ate more than the emperor..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "You didn't see it, he was trying to make us happy! You really think he has such a big appetite!"

"Uh, ahem...Your Majesty is so filial!" Qing Tong quickly took care of her and came back!

"idiot!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed, and continued to move forward, but there was always a warm smile on his face, which lasted for a long time.

There is also family affection in the heavenly family.

……

In Benren Hall, the assistant minister of the six ministers finally checked the accounts that had problems.

It was already noon at this time, and all the ministers were sorting out the booklets, pens and ink on the table, preparing to leave on duty.

At this time Li Fu entered the hall and said to several people: "Everyone, the palace has prepared meals, please wait a moment, my lords."

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu said, "I won't stay when I've finished my errands."

But Li Fu said: "Don't worry, my lords, be safe and don't be impatient." After speaking, he stepped aside, lowered his head, and said nothing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Several people looked at each other for a few times, but they didn't know what was going on, but since the meal was prepared, it must be His Majesty's intention, so thank you quickly.

Trade Secretary Tiexuan and Hubu Langzhong Baozhao hurriedly attacked and ran into him at the palace gate.

They all received a message from the palace when they were about to go off duty, asking them to enter the palace immediately, so they didn't dare to delay and came immediately.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, the two stepped into the palace gate.

Bao Zhao asked in a low voice: "Could it be something important? Do you know?"

Tie Xuan shook his head, "I also just received the edict, and I am still confused, but since we are allowed to enter the palace at this time, there must be something wrong!"

When they entered the Benren Hall, they saw that the six ministers were all there, so they hurriedly greeted them.

Tie Xuan quietly pulled Qi Tai to ask, but he didn't ask anything.

Looking at the other side, Qu Tao and Zhang Fu were standing there, Qu Tao was calm, no different from usual.

But Zhang Fu beside him lowered his head, looking guilty.

Knowing that he was ordered to set up the Penghu Guard, Tie Xuan wanted to go up to say hello, but they ignored him, so how could he make trouble for himself.

After a while, Sheng Yong and Geng Rui came together.

Civilian and military generals seem to have a natural estrangement. Although they often meet, they just bow their hands and greet each other politely. Besides, they have no deep friendship.

When they came to Qu Tao and Zhang Fu, they seemed much more affectionate.

After saying hello to Qu Tao, Geng Rui patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why don't you say anything when you come back! Brothers can help you clean up the dust! I forgot, you haven't held the crown ceremony yet, you are still a As for the children, you can't drink..."

Sheng Yong also said: "Next time I see Commander Zhang, I'll tell him that when the child grows up, he can't be so strict! Hehehe..."

Among the few of them, Zhang Fu was the youngest, so he was used to making jokes about him.

Zhang Fu was so embarrassed that he could dig out a city tower!
A forced smile appeared on his face, and he only hoped that they would stop paying attention to him...

But in fact, things always backfired.

Geng Rui saw his strangeness and asked, "Why, the errand is not going well?"
