Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 22

The spring breeze was blowing, and the water was rippling, just as Zhu Yuanzhang's mood at this time was as carefree and broad.

Walking on the stone path beside Mochou Lake, the emperor, who was enjoying the scenery comfortably, suddenly turned his back to Xu Da and Feng Sheng, who followed carefully along the way, and said:

"Man, you have seen it, tell me, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to ask the two to express their views.

He knew, and Xu Da and Feng Sheng also knew that what Zhu Ji said in the living room today, if they can't tie them to a warship, then in the not-too-distant future they will become their death talisman.

Because Zhu Ji seems to be analyzing Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and even Huaixi nobles, but he is actually analyzing Zhu Yuanzhang's inner worries and taboos.

Companion is like a tiger.

In the past, they might have hidden this sentence in their hearts, but when Zhu Ji said it, the matter was directly brought to light.

From then on, they either obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement obediently, or put down the power in their hands and lived a life that Zhu Yuanzhang suspected at any time.

Both Xu Da and Feng Sheng are smart people who understand the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils.

What's more, when I met Zhu Ji today, especially when I learned that Zhu Ji had been living among the people, and the situation in the court was obtained through folk rumors, such a keen observation and judgment may not be tied to him. is a bad thing.

What's more, just now Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and turned his back to them with a very proud tone of emotion. Liu Ji said that his eldest son was born holy.

Xu Da and Feng Sheng didn't know that there was another leader in the literary world who was tied to the same boat as them.

Combined with what Zhu Yuanzhang told them yesterday, this world belongs to the people of the world, and the court is the court of the people in the world.

In the future, there will inevitably be a large number of non-Huaixi officials entering the power center of Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the rights of these so-called nobles in Huaixi will be greatly weakened, and the person standing in front of him looking at the scenery will have an unprecedented control over the court.

But more importantly, Xu Da and Feng Sheng can clearly feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's hope in Zhu Ji has completely exceeded the attitude that a father should have towards his children.

Born divine!
Even Xu Da, a reckless man, knows that there are only a few people in history who have received such evaluation after death.And they are either the founders of the school or the founders of the dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang called himself Huaiyou commoner, but now he said that his own son was born holy.

If he really didn't have any special thoughts, why did he mention these four words repeatedly in front of the two of them.

After all, Feng Sheng is a well-educated person. Although he spared his life, his mind is more flexible.Without waiting for Xu Da to make a statement, Feng Sheng took the lead in bowing down and saying:
"My humble minister thanked His Majesty Long En, but the little girl is only eleven years old, and she is too young to serve the prince."

A woman can only marry at fourteen, which is a rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.Feng Sheng no longer harbored any intention of procrastinating. He wished that his daughter would marry earlier and have two children in one year.

With Feng Sheng's reminder, Xu Da suddenly became happy.

In this matter requested by Zhu Yuanzhang, he has a natural advantage over Feng Sheng.

"The eldest daughter of Weichen is twelve years old this year, and it will take two years to get married. However, His Majesty can give her a marriage title first, so that it will be convenient for the younger daughter to accompany the prince in the future."

Seeing that the attitudes of the two were very different from yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely happy.Xu Da's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, so he agreed directly, even Feng Sheng's daughter was not left behind.

"Then it's settled. Let's talk about the marriage with you two first. After a while, when this bastard recognizes his ancestors, we will give you a formal marriage certificate."

"Also, that bastard has a stubborn temper. He may not agree to what we arranged at that time. You also need to communicate with him often, so that he can't save face and refuse. Don't be afraid of us, as long as you go in and out more secretively so that no one will know. That's fine."

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang is not the tyrant who was furious when the prince and his father-in-law met privately.

In order to appease Xu Da and Feng Sheng, they let go of their contact with Zhu Ji.

If the courtiers knew about this, it would inevitably cause a huge storm in the court meeting.

Letting Xu Da and Feng Sheng leave on their own, Zhu Yuanzhang walked slowly to the grave of Zhu Jishouxiao under the guard of Yi Luansi.

He hadn't been to this place for about four months.

Irrigated by Zhu Ji's hard work and sweat in the past few days, what looked like a barren wasteland at the end of last year is now scattered with green rice in an orderly manner.The momentum of thriving made Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help admiring that his son had put his heart into it.

When he walked into the cemetery, Zhu Ji was scratching his head with a book.

Seeing that there was no righteous Zhu Ji, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see those princes in the palace who were sued by Song Lian and other scholars every three days.Thinking that if this guy was sent in, he might not be able to live without the nagging of those literati every day, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark immediately.

"You bastard, you don't work hard at reading, you look like a monkey. You don't want to recognize your ancestors, what's the matter, are you really going to spend your whole life in this crop field?"

The angry voice fell into Zhu Ji's ears, and he was immediately frightened to put away his book and take a step back.

When he found out that it was Zhu Yuanzhang, he muttered in a low voice: "If you resign and return to your hometown now, we will immediately recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors."

"Excuse me, I need you to teach me whether I should be an official or not. Today we are here to tell you that we have made an agreement with Xu Da and Feng Sheng. We will give you an engagement with their girls tomorrow, and wait for those two When the girl reaches the age, she will get married."

Seemingly realizing that Zhu Ji's eyes were flickering, with the intention of refusing, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his nose, half scolding and half threatening:

"Don't even think about objecting. I promised to marry you two wives at the beginning, but now I have done what I said. If you dare to run away, I will ask the emperor to send soldiers and horses from the Jingwei Commander to find you."

"When the time comes, tie you up in front of us, don't say we embarrass you as a father."

After getting along with each other these days, Zhu Yuanzhang also gradually discovered that Zhu Ji and that guy Liu Ji are almost the same guy.

That's really a donkey's temper, partiality, fear of death and love of face.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still using both soft and hard tactics against Zhu Ji, but Zhu Ji was a little dazed at this moment.

If his memory is correct, the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da seems to have been given a marriage to the fourth child of Lord Guorui's family, that is, Chengzu who later pretended to be a fool and was forced to take the lead in rebelling against his nephew.

It seems that Feng Sheng's daughter married the eldest son of Chang Yuchun, king of Kaiping, and there was a quarrel with her husband and son-in-law afterwards.

What is the background of this old Zhutou in front of me?
How dare master Guorui, his son and his nephew's beards be cut off?

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's face that was flushed from talking, Zhu Ji thought, this old man's life is becoming more and more difficult.
