Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 89 Rubbing rice?don't even think about it

The Jinshen Temple at noon is always full of the taste of home.

As soon as Zhu Jifu stepped into the hall, he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's vague greeting:

"What's the matter, let's talk about it after dinner with your mother. Come here and fill him with a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Beside the dining table, Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a bowl and pulling the crystal tribute rice into his mouth, while Empress Ma looked at Zhu Ji with a smile, and the hand holding the chopsticks naturally picked up a piece of roast goose from the table and put it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in the dish.

Facing Empress Ma's smile, Zhu Ji, who hadn't entered the palace to greet him for several days, immediately grinned and greeted:
"It seems that I will pick my time. I haven't entered the palace for several days. How is your mother?"

While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang had already swallowed the sweet food in his mouth, and when he heard Zhu Ji's intimate greetings to Empress Ma, he immediately snorted a little unhappily:
"You haven't greeted us for quite a while, so why didn't you ask us if we were okay? Besides, if you have time to sleep in the old room, why don't you have time to go to the palace to spend more time with your mother?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's dissatisfaction successfully made Zhu Ji deflated.

Speaking of this matter, Zhu Ji really felt guilty.

Ever since the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Zhu Ji finally seized the opportunity to sleep in. He didn't want to get up before dawn like his younger brothers to form a group to greet him. Empress Shangma was considerate, Zhu Ji simply made the decision to enter the palace once every seven days.

Now being questioned by Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Zhu Ji could only scratch his head in embarrassment.

"It's not that you set too many rules. Every time you enter the palace, you have to be searched inside and out. Not to mention, a group of eunuchs are watching by you, as if you are afraid that I will do something."

He pulled the chair and sat next to Queen Ma, took the rice bowl presented by the servant, picked up a piece of fat mutton and devoured the gongmi, but in the blink of an eye, his hungry stomach was filled, so he retorted with some dissatisfaction.

"In the future, if Mother Noon is here, I'll come here every day, and I can afford such a sumptuous meal."

Hearing what Zhu Ji said, Empress Ma smiled, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not so happy.

This bastard is only thinking of good things.

With so many concubines in the harem, wouldn't Lord Rui of his country want them to be exposed to both rain and dew?

Furthermore, according to the meaning of these words, why does this bastard regard his Jinshen Palace as the dining hall of his Prince Yong's Mansion?
With respect to the reincarnation of the starved ghost just now, Zhu Yuanzhang only has two words to answer Zhu Ji's question - no way.If you have to argue that there is still a window, then Zhu's eight vows plus four words - don't even think about it.

"Speak the truth!"

This bastard son of his own couldn't find any sense of accomplishment as a father at all, so Zhu Yuanzhang simply knocked on the table with the back end of his white chopsticks, taking the opportunity to vent his depression.

Zhu Ji was picking up food for Empress Ma with chopsticks. Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's urging, he looked up at the many people waiting outside the dining table, thought for a while, but did not directly express his intention for this trip.

"Zhou Dexing was so overjoyed that he missed the opportunity of the war. I will ask someone to replace him. He will be imprisoned for three months and fined for two years."

"It's lighter."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stop at all when he was eating, he just put the exquisite dishes into his mouth casually.Hearing Zhu Ji's disposition, he just shook his head slightly, but his voice was a bit heavier.

After all, it is a matter of war. Even if Zhou Dexing has already won the most critical target, delaying the opportunity of battle is a crime. This is an indisputable fact.Zhu Yuanzhang didn't quite know whether Zhu Ji was inexperienced or kind-hearted, but he didn't agree with this punishment.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's slightly changed expression, Zhu Ji nodded in agreement.

The act of picking up food for Empress Ma did not stop, but he said to Zhu Yuanzhang seriously:
"Nowadays, civil and military affairs are not a system. I want to re-establish the ranks and honors of military officers. At the same time, re-establish the laws of rewards and punishments in the army. On the one hand, let the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty know the greatness of the emperor's grace, and on the other hand, let those military officers recognize it. The Qing military law is majestic."

Regarding the centralization of power, Zhu Yuanzhang never refused reasonable suggestions.

After the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the titles of generals really need to be re-established.Taking this opportunity, Zhu Yuanzhang even wanted to beat those martial arts who acted out of line again.

Knowing that his eldest son was thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally picked up the shrimp that Empress Ma had chosen for him from the plate:

"You go and ask Liu Ji to go over it together, and then write a charter. After we read it, we will agree on the titles of everyone in the Governor's Mansion, and then send it to each guard."

After giving these instructions, seeing the gilded doucai porcelain plate in front of Empress Ma full of dishes, Zhu Yuanzhang felt jealous, and at the same time swallowed the goose meat in his mouth, and prepared to drive Zhu Ji away angrily:

"Go away after you finish talking. After lunch, we have to accompany your mother to the Imperial Garden for a walk. You don't have to follow me, you bastard."

Knowing that Master Guorui with big eyebrows and big eyes in front of him wanted to chase him away, Zhu Ji had no choice but to sit on the chair cheekily:
"I'm afraid I'm going to wrong my mother today, why don't I let Zhu Xi's bridesmaids go over later. I still have some things here, I need to talk to my father alone."

Zhu Ji originally wanted to name Zhu Biao, but since the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the prince's younger brother has never sent half of his footprints to Yongwang's Mansion.

As the eldest brother, Zhu Ji felt that it was necessary for this little brother to show his face in front of many nobles from time to time.Otherwise, all those nobles will be won over by him in the future. If there is another scene of yellow robes in Daming, then he will really become a dutiful son.

But thinking about the situation of the princess these days, Zhu Ji's heart softened a little after all.

Directly interfering with Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements, the seemingly disrespectful words did not make the officials serving in the Jinshen Palace much surprised.

They were already used to His Royal Highness Yong's unique way of getting along with the emperor.

Even the daily life note, which was unsightly earlier, showed no strange expression now.

However, these people were still a little curious about what it was that made Zhu Ji, His Royal Highness King Yong, who didn't like to take the initiative, take the initiative to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang in secret.

Empress Ma froze for a moment, then nodded with a smile.Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, still had a calm expression, but the speed at which he was pulling the food into his mouth suddenly became a little faster.

Two quarters later, Empress Ma left Jinshen Palace with the maids who cleaned up the cups and trays.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of tea and food, waved away all the people serving in the hall, and when the wide door was closed by the guards, and when there was no longer a ray of bright sunshine in the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing in the innermost part of the hall, walked slowly step, looking at Zhu Ji with a serious expression:

"Tell me, what is it that requires you to be so cautious?"
