Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 556
The brothers talked, laughed, and fought, as if they had returned to the past.

When they came to the gate of the palace, the eunuch of Kunning Palace delivered a decree saying that at noon, Empress Ma held a family banquet in Kunning Palace to greet her sons.The emperor will also go there and let them go directly to Kunning Palace.

When the Kunning Palace eunuch walked away, the youngest said sourly: "It's thanks to you two, otherwise the queen mother won't welcome us both."

In fact, he and the second child have been back to Beijing for some time, but the two of them had a lot of trouble in the fief, and they were reprimanded several times by their father.

When Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to return to Beijing for the new year, he also wanted to beat them and let them keep their place in the fiefdom.

"Humph..." Zhu Di sneered, he really wanted to say, "I don't see what good things you guys have done, the queen mother invited you to dinner, and the emperor didn't invite you to eat stir-fried meat with leather whips." '

But because the second brother was also on the spot, and he had done more homework than the third brother, he didn't say it.

But he was not in a hurry, since his father was also going to attend, he must scold the third child when he saw him.It's time to watch a good show.

~~
The elder brothers came to Kunning Palace to pay their respects to the queen mother.

Concubine Hu Xian was also there, and the brothers greeted her again.

As she grew older, Concubine Hu Xian became calmer, and talked to several His Highnesses kindly, but never took her eyes off her son.I thought in my heart:
'Oh, why is my baby so thin...'

"Zhu Chongba, you kill a thousand knives, let so many brothers do nothing, catch Lao Liu and a sheep all day long, look at him..."

'I'm not finished with you! '

"It's good to be thinner, so much more energetic." Empress Ma was very happy that Lao Liu had lost weight, and took him by the hand to look him up and down: "Your father was like this back then, except that your eyebrows were thicker than his. Just like him 30 years ago!"

"Ah?" Lao Liu opened his mouth wide, he always thought he was following his second uncle.Unexpectedly, there was the shadow of an old thief on his face.

"Ah what, are you unhappy with your father?" Zhu Yuanzhang came in from the outside with his hands behind his back, and said angrily.

All the people in the hall rushed to pay respects to the emperor.

"Get up, there are no outsiders today, so there is no need to be polite." Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, and with a smile, he pulled up the fourth child with one hand and the sixth child with the other, and said happily: "Today, you two sit next to us and have a good drink with me. "

Then he greeted everyone to sit down. "Sit down."

After the royal family thanked each other, they returned to their seats after the emperor and queen sat down.

The old Zhu's family banquet is not like the royal family in the previous dynasty, where each person has a small table, and the emperor and empress stand high above each other and share meals.

Boss Zhu felt that it was too alienated and there was no family atmosphere.So their family has always used round tables to eat, and if there are more people, they will set up more round tables.It means reunion and roundness, completeness and completeness.

Zhu Zhen usually sat at the children's table, but this time he sat between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, and became the focus of the audience, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Why, haven't enjoyed the love of parents for too long, are you not used to it?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him.

"How did the father see it?" Zhu Zhen felt strange.

"Isn't this nonsense, usually I move two chopsticks, you can move three chopsticks. Today I move three chopsticks, you only move two chopsticks." Zhu Yuanzhang moved his chopsticks like flying, and put a piece of meat into his mouth. One side proudly said:

"It's not too hot, boy."

"That's because I just came back to let you..." Zhu Zhen snorted, immediately shifted gears, and pulled the chopsticks out of the phantom.

"Fuck, slow down..." Zhu Yuanzhang was so anxious that he hurriedly cursed and competed with him for food.

"..." Sitting on Zhu Yuanzhang's right hand, the fourth child is actually a big eater, but he was stunned by the aura of the two men.Didn't stretch out a few chopsticks...

"Oh, as soon as Lao Liu came back, someone went crazy with the emperor again." Empress Ma sighed to Concubine Hu Xian.

"They never eat my cooking like this." Concubine Hu Xian said depressedly.

~~
After drinking and eating, Boss Zhu stroked his chubby belly, and then he said: "This year, we are really happy. The fourth and the sixth have made great achievements this time. In the future, I will be bright, and I can live forever without him." Today's work."

"..." Everyone present was secretly surprised when they heard the emperor's ridiculously high evaluation, especially the concubines and the young prince.

"It's too exaggerated," Concubine Dading murmured in a low voice, "Isn't it just going to grow a field? What's the big deal?"

"We know that most of you don't understand the meaning of the Yellow Book. Let's just put it this way, without this stuff, Daming would be a short-lived dynasty. With this stuff, we have the confidence to make Daming the longest-lived dynasty!" Then Zhu Yuanzhang went on to say:
"You people, as well as the descendants of our old Zhu family, will be able to sit back and enjoy wealth for hundreds of years."

But Zhu Zhen secretly slandered, and then the descendants became Daming's tumors...

"A few hundred years is not enough, at least a thousand years!" The third child over there hastily flattered him, so as not to be executed in public later.

Unexpectedly, the flattery hit the horse's hoof. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him, snorted coldly and said, "Thousands of years? With you good lords here, we dare not expect extravagant expectations."

"..." Zhu shrunk his neck, never expecting such a harmonious atmosphere to hide murderous intentions.

"Forget it, this is a family feast for the children, can't you just wait until the meal is over before training?" Empress Ma interceded for the third child.

"Okay, let's train another day for other things, but there is one thing, we have to train at this time!" Zhu Yuanzhang gave Empress Ma face, but it was as if he hadn't given the third son.

"Yes, please give me instructions." The third child had no choice but to leave the table dejectedly and knelt down to be scolded.

"Let's not talk about the absurd things you did in Taiyuan, just talk about the incident on the road. We kindly sent you Xu Xingzu, the cook who has been with me for 23 years, and specifically asked you to treat him kindly. But you are lucky. Hang him up and whip him on the way! Take our advice as nothing!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"My son treated him very kindly at first, and even called him Uncle Xu, but I didn't expect this guy to turn his nose up and dare to sing against my son." The third child muttered.

"Why did he sing against you?!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a raised voice.

"That morning, I remembered the sweet bean curd I ate in Suzhou, so I asked him to make it for him. When I tried it, it was salty." The third child said depressedly:
"My son was not happy at the time, so someone called him and asked him what was the matter, why the king wanted to eat sweet ones, and he insisted on making salty ones. Not only did he not think there was anything wrong, he even said plausibly that bean curd is It’s salty, he has been with his father for more than 20 years, and he has never made sweet bean curd.”

"I said that the king wants to eat sweets. You go and make them for me, but he doesn't want to. In front of so many palace people and magistrates, I can't hold back my face, so I threatened him, if you If you don’t make sweet bean curd, I’ll hang you up and beat you. He said that even if you burn me to death, bean curd can’t be sweet…”

"For that matter, it's really inappropriate not to beat him up." The youngest said, "Plus, I'm in a bad mood after leaving my parents. When the hot weather comes, I just beat him up." beated……"
