Daming heir

Chapter 168 Who gave you courage

A wave of jealousy spread in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice, and stared dissatisfiedly at the good grandson who took advantage of everything but still showed hesitation.

He waved his hands: "Brother Chun, get up quickly, and there is Caiyun, this girl. It seems that this is the first time we have seen each other. She is really generous. Fortunately, she is not like your father who is a brash army man with a savage face. If it weren't for The eldest sister of our family was in charge back then, and your father specified that she would not be able to marry your mother."

This is all a joke.

But Mu Caiyun's original timidity and nervousness because of returning to Beijing and entering the palace for the first time disappeared in a flash, and a faint expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh appeared on Mu Caiyun's face.

Mu Chun couldn't afford it, and looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Old man, if you don't agree, I won't be able to go back to Yunnan this time, and I won't be able to kill the enemy for you in the south..."

Zhu Yunxi was still confused, seeing that Mu Chun didn't want to get up, he had no choice but to go forward and pull Mu Chun: "Brother Chun, I just came back and traveled all the way, go in quickly and sit down to rest, I have time to talk about things later. "

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Yunxi silently again.

Then he pretended to stare and said: "If Brother Chun doesn't get up again, we'll leave you to stay in Yingtian when we turn around."

"and also……?"

Mu Chun frowned, his heart finally relaxed, and his face was even more joyful, and without Zhu Yunxi's tugging, he stood up straight away.

This sudden blow almost brought Zhu Yunxi down.

Mu Chun reached out to pull his younger sister Mu Caiyun up.

The two brothers and sisters bowed and bowed again.

Mu Chun said: "I thank you, my sister is in the eyes of the old man and stays in the East Palace to work."

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, but he hadn't agreed to this matter yet.

Zhu Biao on the side couldn't laugh or cry, and waved his hands: "Go and sit down, Brother Chun must be in a hurry this way, take a break quickly. The old man has just asked the imperial chef to cook the soup, and it won't be long. It can be delivered."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in agreement.

Only then did Mu Chun completely relax.

Mu Caiyun, who was following him, was exceptionally discerning, and took small steps forward to hold the armrest of the wheelchair under the crown prince's seat.

This time, Zhu Biao was also slightly taken aback, and then nodded with a chuckle.

After several people did this, they all entered the side hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang poured a cup of tea into his stomach, and then looked at Mu Caiyun who pushed the prince into the side hall and returned to behind his eldest brother.

"Your father really wants to keep Caiyun girl in Yingtian?"

Speaking of this matter, Zhu Yunxi, who was obviously an insider but seemed like an outsider, looked quietly at Mu Caiyun who had lowered her head, her face flushed and shy.

Mu Chun nodded, and glanced at Zhu Yunxi who was the same age as his younger sister.

Mu Chun and Mu Caiyun knelt down again.

Afterwards, Mu Chun looked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Returning to the old man, my father said that he has not been able to be filial by your side these years, and he cannot be by the prince's side to assist the country. The ministers and others are also leaders in the army. Daming sits in the southwest.

But you have always been kind to your father in nurturing him. He couldn't fulfill his filial piety, so he had to send his sister to Yingtian, which can be regarded as a little filial piety.

If the old man is in the eye, the crown prince agrees, and the emperor's grandson does not give up, it would be the best if my sister can be by the emperor's side in the future and add a few great emperors and grandsons to the old man. "

Zhu Yunxi stared intently at Mu Caiyun, whose cheeks were flushed to the base of her ears.

The little girl's face was blushing, and under the light, it was crystal clear, and her powder was like a peach in spring, and sweet water would drip out with a light pinch.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart when he heard this.

After all, Ying'er never forgot himself as an old man. For this old man in the southwest, he sat on the frontier all year round, led the troops to kill the enemy, and guarded the stability of the southwest corner, but it was difficult for him to be filial by his side.

In this way, it was possible to let his daughter go to the palace to perform filial piety for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed for a while.

The crown prince Zhu Biao was on the sidelines, watching constantly, and then looked at Mu Chun with some apology: "Brother Chun."

"Hey." Mu Chun responded immediately: "What is the crown prince's order?"

Zhu Biao waved his hands, shook his head and said, "Brother may not know it yet, but not long ago, the old man just married Yunxi, the eldest granddaughter of Tang's family in Xinguo Duke's Mansion."

While speaking, Zhu Biao shook his head and sighed again.

From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that this bastard boy of his family could be engaged to the daughter of Brother Mu's family.

It's just that the Mu family wants to guard the southwest, and if the DPRK and China balance the military, they can only use the Tang family.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a burst of regret at this time.

He is the emperor, there is no chance, he wants to get married to a courtier's family, but later he said that this marriage is not counted.

Moreover, getting married with the Tang family, and the boy of the Tang family returning to Beijing to act as the governor's mansion, and serving as the personal guard of the imperial army, these are all arrangements he has made long ago.

He can't let Ying'er's daughter grow up, can he?
"Old man, before I arrived in Zhili, I heard that the emperor's grandson was engaged to the Duke of Xinguo's mansion. At that time, I hurried to send someone back to Yunnan to deliver the letter. My father wrote back and said that as long as the old man nodded and agreed, he would let my sister go back. It's okay to be a side concubine next to the emperor's grandson."

Having said that, Mu Chun puffed up his chest.

"Father said that the Mu family is not the kind of family that clings to others. Although the Mu family can no longer be brazen about the Tian family's surname, the Mu family will always remember that it was the old man's kindness in nurturing them back then. It will always remember that the Mu family had the Zhu surname first and then the Mu surname. .”

"My sister entered the palace just for the filial piety of Quan Mu's family, there is no other way!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was already moved.

My good Yinger!

And at this time.

Mu Caiyun, who had never spoken all this time, was as startled as a fluttering bird, and her lips parted lightly like a yellow warbler.

"Your Majesty, my father's health has been getting worse recently. This time I heard that His Majesty is ill, and the Crown Prince is seriously ill, and he has been bedridden for many days. Fortunately, knowing that His Majesty and the Crown Prince are fine, I gradually regained some energy.

My father can't serve His Majesty, and my daughter-in-law is willing to be filial to the palace on behalf of her father. "

Zhu Biao's eyes widened immediately, and he said urgently, "Brother is sick?"

Zhu Yuanzhang even stepped forward to Mu Chun, and said in shock: "What happened to Yinger? He was a general in the battle at that time, and the enemy's swords could not hurt him at all. Why did he get sick? How is he now? The imperial physician! The imperial physician! Hurry up and call someone from Tai Hospital!"

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was already shouting loudly to the outside.

Mu Chun was very excited, and hurriedly said: "Thanks to the old man's protection, before the subject came to Beijing, the family sent someone to pass the word that my father can already walk around in Beijing."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved, but his expression was still tense.

Wait until the imperial physicians who take turns serving in the palace every day rush over.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips and waved: "Go! Tell the envoy that the Imperial Hospital has sent people to Yunnan today, to Xipinghou's mansion, and will stay by Xipinghou's side in the future. Don't let him have any more health problems! "

The imperial physicians didn't know what happened to Xipinghou who was far away in Yunnan, but they all knew that Xipinghou was the adopted son of the emperor, and he followed His Majesty's surname back then, and he was also the elder brother whom the crown prince respected very much.

Several people hurriedly dispatched their hands to leave the palace, and went to the Tai Hospital to report the matter.

After such an arrangement, Zhu Yuanzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yunxi, who had been standing by the side all the time, stepped forward cautiously and supported Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandfather, don't worry. Uncle has also experienced countless storms and waves in these years. My ancestors of the Ming Dynasty will definitely protect him from accidents. Thinking about it this time, uncle will also I fell ill only when I heard that you and your father were in good health. Now that you two are in good health, uncle is also in good health."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, and gave Zhu Yunxi a sideways glance.

It wasn't until she was supported by Zhu Yunxie to sit down that she looked at the obedient Mu Caiyun again.

"She's a good girl. Ying'er has managed the family well all these years."

"Father, did you agree to elder brother's request?" Zhu Biao asked, then looked at Mu Chun and Mu Caiyun, and said with a smile: "The old man agreed, you don't have to get up quickly."

Mu Chun got Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, and supported Mu Caiyun to stand up again with a smile on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pair of Mu family brothers and sisters in front of him, he suddenly got angry, turned his head and gave Zhu Yunxi another look.

Zhu Yunxi, who had been stared at inexplicably, was bewildered.

I didn't do anything myself.

Zhu Yuanzhang said indignantly: "It's you who is picking up cheap things everywhere! Let Caiyun girl go to the East Palace later. If you wait a little longer, we will tell you to look good!"

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to agree with a wry smile and nod.

Afterwards, the imperial chef also brought up soup and other food.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept smiling as if he was looking at Mu Caiyun, who had become his own granddaughter-in-law, and pulled Mu Chun to talk about Mu Ying's affairs in Yunnan.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi, father and son, could only be by the side, echoing from time to time.

It wasn't until the sky darkened that Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for Mu Chun and Mu Caiyun to live in the East Palace together.

……

Over a few days.

Yingtian City became more and more lively.

One day.

As soon as the sky dawned, the city was already full of firecrackers.

The people with new clothes at the bottom of the box with slow voices poured out of their homes and merged into the streets full of stalls and jugglers.

A scene of prosperity.

And inside the imperial city, there are even more lights and festoons, creating a festive atmosphere.

Today is the Longevity Day of Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty.

Although it was clearly ordered by the court that only officials in Beijing were allowed to participate in this year's Longevity Festival, the clan and vassals were not allowed to return to Beijing, and even officials from Zhili were not allowed to leave the state capital to go to Beijing to celebrate.

But the palace is still overcrowded today.

The banquet started at noon, and the banquet between the monarch and his ministers probably lasted until the evening.

Afterwards, there were opera troupes waiting for congratulatory programs in the palace.

Later, there was news from the emperor's grandson that a unique congratulatory gift was about to be presented.

For a time, the audience was full of harmony.

However, at the front of the three main halls in the palace is also the most magnificent Huangji Hall.

The atmosphere is not as lively as outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting high on the throne, looked cold at the moment.

The prince and the grandson of the emperor, one on the left and the other on the right, served on the steps below him.

In the hall, the ministers of the yamen halls of various ministries, and officials of the third rank and above of the capital, are divided into civil and military affairs on both sides of the hall.

And on the golden brick in the middle of the hall, groups of envoys from various countries came forward to congratulate in turn.

Until now, two groups of Japanese envoys came out to congratulate at the same time.

"Bold!"

"It's for you to dare to bother me, Daming, kill my people, and take away my money and food!"

"I really thought that my army of millions in the Ming Dynasty would not be able to cross the sea, and you will be defeated!"

In the court hall, the faces of the three members of the Tian family were all icy.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi stood upright, with angry eyes, waving angrily at the Japanese envoys Yoshino Temple Asa and Ashikaga Umecho in front of him.

The Crown Prince sat in a wheelchair, his face frosty, and swept across the civil and military officials present.

The emperor sitting high on the throne had strict eyes, like a heavenly dragon filled with endless anger, ready to tilt down the boundless anger at any time.
