Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 45 Pearl Jade White Jade Soup

There was silence in Fengtian Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not reprimand these yin and yang and strange nobles, he scooped a spoonful of pearl, emerald and white jade soup, and served it to his mouth.

It's really like tasting some peerless delicacies.

It took him a long time before he was willing to swallow it.

Then there was a look of reminiscence on his face, and he slowly said:

"In the spring 30 years ago, there was a famine in our hometown. We remember clearly that on the sixth day of April that year, my father starved to death... three days later, my elder brother died of starvation... three days later, My eldest nephew died of starvation...on April 22, my mother was gone."

"In less than a month, four members of our family starved to death!" Zhu Yuanzhang choked up, tears welling up in his eyes; the faces of all the Huaixi civil and military personnel also looked sad, and many of them began to wipe their tears, obviously thinking of their own family members.

"What's even more sad is that we and our second brother couldn't find a place to bury them, because every piece of land has its own owner! Later, the neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and gave us a cemetery. We used straw mats to bury the bodies of our relatives. Once wrapped, it was buried hastily."

"After the funeral, we knew we couldn't survive at home, so we had to go our separate ways and flee separately. I begged for food all the way, but famine was raging everywhere, how could I get food?"

"Within a few days, I became dizzy from hunger, developed a fever, and finally passed out on the side of the road. At that time, not too many people starved to death on the side of the road. Seeing that we could not escape, fortunately, we were killed by a walking monk. Save me and take me to a ruined temple."

"The kind monk threw the vegetable leaves, glutinous rice, and half a piece of rotten tofu from various begging families into the broken pot. After a while, the aroma rose, making us greedy and drooling. It's all down to the navel."

"The monk gave it to me to eat, oh, it's really delicious in the world! Gudu Gudu swallowed all this pot of soup by myself, we felt comfortable all over and sweated profusely! As a result, the disease was cured, and people Only after you survived can you go to Huangjue Temple with that monk, and you can live to this day."

"Our second brother was not so lucky. He didn't drink this bowl of pearl, emerald, and white jade soup, so he died on the way to escape." Zhu Yuanzhang said, wiping his old tears, sobbing:

"We always think about it, if there was such a pot of soup in my family at that time, maybe my parents would be able to survive and see his son become the emperor one day..."

There was a whimpering cry, and Li Zhen, who was sitting beside her, was already crying.Xu Da also wiped his tears while comforting Zhu Yuanzhang.

"It is destiny for the superior to drink this bowl of pearl, emerald and white jade soup."

"Yes, without this bowl of soup, there would be no Ming Dynasty today. This is the most expensive bowl of soup in the world, pearl jade white jade soup, worthy of the name!" Hu Weiyong also said loudly.

"In this case, why don't you drink?" Zhu Yuanzhang stopped crying and asked.

"Hey, drink." All the nobles hurriedly scooped up a bowl each, and drank in big gulps.

Unexpectedly, it hit the head with one bite.Nima, why does it smell like swill?Still rotten...

"How is it, how does it taste?" Zhu Yuanzhang was still asking.

All the nobles swallowed but couldn't swallow, vomited but didn't dare to vomit, they all blushed with anxiety, so they had to raise their thumbs one after another, enduring their nausea and nodding their praises to support them.

"Can't swallow it?" Zhu Yuanzhang mercilessly exposed them.

Everyone shook their heads quickly, and then swallowed forcefully, but some people still couldn't help it, and vomited loudly...

Like an infection, another dozen or so who vomited on the spot hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, explaining that they drank too much at noon and their stomach was uncomfortable...

"You eat too much delicacies from mountains and seas, can't you eat the home-cooked meals of the common people?" Zhu Yuanzhang sarcastically said:
"If you don't believe me, you can call any ordinary person to ask, how many families can eat four dishes and one soup for a meal? Think about it, when you were eating chaff and swallowing vegetables at home, you can eat such a meal, how can you be thankful? "

"Yes, yes..." All the ministers hurriedly nodded and said yes, knowing that Boss Zhu was going to make another excuse.

"It turned out that it's only been a few years of good life? I completely forgot about Ben! Everyone spends their days drinking and drinking, extravagant and wasteful, and they talk about ostentation compared to the competition."

"I heard that years ago, two hundred sheep, one hundred pigs, thousands of chickens, ducks and geese were brought into Deqinghou's mansion, and there were dozens of carts of delicacies from mountains and seas. How many people in your mansion are there for the New Year? Can you eat all of them? ?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liao Yongzhong with a half-smile.

"Return, return to the upper position, all the old brothers under his subordinates are filial, give a little to this, give a little to that," Liao Yongzhong hurriedly got up, and said in embarrassment: "And there are also gifts in return, so there are not so many in the end."

"Oh, so we wronged you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said blankly.

"No, no." Liao Yongzhong quickly shook his head, his face was black and red, and he said with shame: "It is true that a lot wasted, and I will definitely change it in the future."

"Yes, it needs to be changed, it must be changed!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, motioned him to sit down, and said to everyone: "Not only Deqinghou, but also everyone, think about it carefully. Why did we rebel back then? Corrupt officials who help to search for the fat and anointing of the people, are they forced to die?"

"Why do corrupt officials search for the people's fat and anointing! Because they can't satisfy their desires, and they can't maintain the extravagant ostentation without searching!" Zhu Yuanzhang patted the table and said loudly:
"We all came from poor backgrounds, so we have to learn from the princes, nobles, and corrupt officials in Meng Yuan, who were extravagant? In a few years, Daming will go back to the old way of the Yuan Dynasty!"

"Can't learn." All the ministers hurriedly expressed their views.

"So, let's make a rule today. From now on, regardless of public or private banquets, no more than four dishes and one soup will be allowed. Just enough to eat is enough. If there are too many, we will feed the pigs." Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly:
"This can also remind everyone from time to time that we must restrain ourselves in all aspects, and don't let selfish desires destroy us, let alone our Ming Dynasty!"

"Your servants, please follow the instructions of the superior!" All the ministers complained incessantly in their hearts, and they had to honestly kneel down and say yes.

"Okay, let's all get up. Let's order as soon as we can for the New Year's Eve." Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his temper, raised his glass and said, "Come, drink!"

"Do it!" Zhong Xungui hurriedly picked up the wine glass and poured it with his head up. Fortunately, the wine is fine...

Then drink more and eat less food.

Xu Da and the others tried to propose a toast to their superiors. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang would not refuse anyone who came, and even took the initiative to chat with them, they knew that the storm had passed.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to normal.

The nobles exchanged glasses and toasted each other, talking in low voices.

Watching them take one cup after another, just like drinking water, Zhu Zhen couldn't help saying, "You can drink like this."

"Of course, it doesn't matter what they do. Besides, they have just been trained, and they are very restrained." Brother Wu said in a low voice: "Usually they drink from big bowls, and when they get excited, they hug Fill the jar..."

"Did Marquis Deqing drink to his heart's content?" Zhu Zhen looked at Liao Yongzhong who was opposite him.

Zhu Wei looked up and saw that Liao Yongzhong was already filling the jar with his arms...

"It's broken," he said immediately, "This guy is drunk, he's going to be crazy!"
