"Superior, my brother begs you."

Listening to Xu Da's words, Zhu Yuanzhang on the side also looked helpless.

This incident originally wanted to show his closeness to his brothers, and he sincerely wanted to lead Xu Da to a horse and a car.

But he never thought that Xu Da would refuse so firmly.

But it doesn't matter, since he doesn't want to, he doesn't have to force it.

He put one hand on his waist, and the other hand stopped Xu Da's words, and said: "Okay, good, that Cheng, that ......."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the princes on the side, suddenly thought of something, and said: "In this way, let's pick a prince to give you a whip." ”

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give Xu Da a chance to speak at all, and looked directly at the princes standing on the side.

But looking left and right, Zhu Biao is not suitable for the prince, and the rest of the princes are too young, and only Zhu Di is suitable to choose and choose, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Zhu Di!" ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's shout, Zhu Di on the side hurriedly shouted: "Erchen is here!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Come, give Uncle Xu a whip!" ”

After speaking, he pulled Xu Da and walked towards the dragon chariot.

And Zhu Di, who was on the side, also hurriedly walked over.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, the civil and military officials around here had different thoughts.

However, as soon as they got into the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly shouted to Qi Heng on the side: "Juntao, hurry, come, get in the car." ”

In this regard, Qi Heng did not hesitate at all, and stepped into the carriage with a brisk step and walked into the dragon chariot.

And Tang He, who was busy on the side, watched Qi Heng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Xu Da enter the dragon chariot, but they didn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to greet him.

Although there is a smile on his face, this heart is very unpleasant.

Inside the dragon chariot.

Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned Xu Da and Qi Heng to sit on both sides of him, ignoring the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and approached them with a smile on his face.

Then he knocked on the window of the carriage with a wooden awl, and Zhu Di, who was driving, immediately waved his horsewhip: "Drive!" ”

As Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon chariot began to act, the civil and military officials who followed also began to move around.

In that queue, Li Shanchang, who was vomited blood by Qi Hengqi that day, was also among them.

As he walked, he looked at Tang He, who was a little lonely beside him, and couldn't help asking, "Tang Shuai, why are you depressed, are you unhappy to see Xu Da?" ”

Tang He said: "Happy, how dare you not be happy." Mr. Li, did you hear what the emperor just said? ”

Li Shanchang immediately replied: "Call Xu Da the first father of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Tang He said: "What about you, what about me?" What should it be? ”

Li Shanchang suddenly laughed twice and said, "I'm nothing, it's mainly you." However, Tang Shuai, you have to think about everything, take a step back, the world is wide, don't you see that the general just now didn't care? ”

Listening to Li Shanchang's words, Tang He felt the same.

Qi Heng didn't speak, and he didn't feel angry.

Still, he let out a long sigh.

In fact, what he cared about was not the number of things at all, but just now Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Xu Da into Long Yuan to sit with him.

If it's just Xu Da alone, forget it.

After all, he has just come back and made great contributions, so it should be regarded as a reward.

But Zhu Yuanzhang just called Qi Heng up again.

This made his second brother feel uncomfortable.

Especially just now, in order to remind Zhu Yuanzhang of himself, he specially came in front of him, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even look at his second brother.

Think about when Zhu Yuanzhang was not the emperor, when several brothers did not sit together, and when did they pull down a brother.

But now, it's completely different.

Thinking of this, Tang He was also helpless in his heart, so he could only follow the team and return to Jinling City.

In the dragon chariot.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and chatted with Xu Dadong's western nonsense.

What kind of army is stationed, battle damage, etc.

Including the frequent occurrence of serious illness in spring, I also asked clearly.

It wasn't until Xu Da explained to him one by one and told Chang Yuchun that he had recovered now that Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Then he pulled Xu Da and asked kindly, "Third brother." ”

"What do you think of our fourth child?"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang ask Zhu Di, Xu Da immediately smiled and said: "I remember that when he was young, he spent all day in the barracks, practicing riding and archery with the soldiers day and night, we still remember tossing the fourth brother at the beginning." ”

As soon as Xu Da's words were finished, the three people in the dragon chariot suddenly burst out laughing.

However, after Xu Da laughed, he asked suspiciously: "Big brother, what are you asking us to do?" ”

Seeing the confusion on Xu Da's face, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little embarrassed, and was thinking about how to speak, when Qi Heng on the side spoke.

"Can't you see that? My eldest brother is saying goodbye to my nephew. ”

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Xu Da was stunned.

And Zhu Yuanzhang on the side saw that Qi Heng helped him say this, so he immediately continued the conversation and said: "Yes, how about marrying your eldest daughter to the fourth child of our family?" ”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang say it again, Xu Da couldn't help asking, "Really?" ”

Regarding Zhu Di's identity, Xu Da didn't think much about it.

However, when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to marry him, he couldn't help but be happy.

The reason is also very simple, Zhu Di likes this kid from the bottom of his heart.

There is quite a heroic spirit on his body, and he has a temper with him.

And Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind, but now when he heard Xu Da say this, he immediately said: "The Son of Heaven ..... a word."

But after the first half of the sentence was finished, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly couldn't remember what the second half of the sentence was about, and he suddenly got stuck.

And Xu Da doesn't care about these at all, all he wants is an attitude from Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing that he was determined, he immediately patted his thigh and said, "Great! ”

Then he sighed with emotion: "Our eldest girl is so blessed, even we have become royal relatives." ”

However, after thinking of something, Xu Da hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, have you discussed it with your sister-in-law?" ”

In order to take care of his face, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly tampered with the idea put forward by Ma Xiuying, and said, "I haven't had time to say it yet." ”

But Xu Da suddenly didn't agree: "How can this be done, can she agree?" ”

Seeing that Xu Da didn't trust himself as an emperor, his face suddenly couldn't help but say, "She dares to disagree!" Zhu Di is our son, she, that is, she has to prepare a dowry for her children. ”

Qi Heng on the side, listening to the conversation between the two of them, the whole person laughed on his back.

This scene reminded him of his time in Huaixi.

Inside the Royal Palace.

After learning that Xu Da was returning today and Zhu Yuanzhang was going to greet him in person, Ma Xiuying led the people in the palace to wait at the gate of the main hall early.

As Zhu Yuanzhang and others greeted the procession, they slowly entered the palace.

Beside Ma Xiuying, who was waiting, Yu'er saw the team coming in from the palace gate at a glance, and hurriedly said to Ma Xiuying beside her: "Niangniang, here!" ”

Ma Xiuying looked at the team walking opposite, and nodded with a smile.

The entrance to the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da walked side by side, and Qi Heng walked behind by himself, leaving the space to the two protagonists today.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked and looked left and right at Xu Da beside him.

When Xu Da left, the palace had not yet been built, so Zhu Yuanzhang pointed around and said, "Look, how is this palace built?" ”

Xu Da also saw Daming's own palace for the first time, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, good." ”

And after Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he continued to ask: "It's very magnificent, right?" Look, there's a mountain behind you, haha. ”

However, as everyone slowly came to the door of the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Look, look who is coming to greet you." ”

Xu Da looked at Ma Xiuying walking in front of him, and hurriedly walked up.

"Brother Xu Da." Ma Xiuying shouted affectionately.

And Xu Da also hurriedly came to Ma Xiuying's front and shouted at this extremely admired sister-in-law: "Meet the queen!" ”

Looking at Xu Da who was kneeling, Ma Xiuying hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Come up, get up, let's call my sister-in-law." ”

Listening to Ma Xiuying's words, Xu Da smiled happily: "Oh, my brother meets the imperial sister-in-law." ”

Looking at Xu Da, Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Last night, your eldest brother Le didn't sleep all night, and before dawn, he sent a few groups of people out to find out where you went, and said that he had to go out of the city for thirty miles to meet you, and it would not be possible to do it one mile less." ”

Listening to Ma Xiuying's good words in front of outsiders, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was also full of pride.

And Xu Da also said when he heard this: "The emperor and queen are gracious, and the ministers will never forget." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Look, our third brother is also learning literary crepe now." ”

After laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and shouted to the civil and military officials behind Xu Da: "Everyone listen, we have set up a banquet in the Wuying Palace, for our third brother to pick up the wind and wash the dust, everyone come!" ”

After speaking, he pulled Xu Da towards the hall.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were the first to enter the main hall, Ma Xiuying stayed where she was and continued to greet the rest of the people.

And Qi Heng on the side was not in a hurry to go in, so he stayed by Ma Xiuying's side.

Ma Xiuying looked at Qi Heng and asked, "Why don't you go in and drink with your eldest brother?" ”

Qi Heng smiled and said, "Big Brother and Big Brother Xu haven't seen each other for a long time, there must be a lot to say, just let them talk first, I'll stand with you for a while, sister." ”

Hearing Qi Heng's words, Ma Xiuying just laughed, but didn't say anything more.

However, when Qi Heng came to Ma Xiuying's side, Yu'er, who had been standing beside Ma Xiuying, turned red, lowered her head, and was full of shyness.

With the civil and military officials, they walked into the Wuying Hall one by one.

Ma Xiuying, who was standing at the entrance of the palace, saw Tang He who did not advance but retreated at a glance, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Seeing this, Ma Xiuying looked at Qi Heng beside her.

Seeing Qi Heng nodding, Ma Xiuying was even more sure of her guess, so she glanced at Yu'er beside her.

Yu'er, on the other hand, ran quickly towards Tanghe at the bottom of the steps.

Now as a female official, Yu'er is wearing an official uniform and hat, although she does not have the feminine and coquettish state of her daughter's family, she is also very cute when she runs.

When she ran to Tang He's side, Yu'er immediately said to Tang He: "Tang Shuai, the queen mother, please speak." ”

Although Tang He had the intention to leave, he heard that Ma Xiuying was looking for him, and after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but give this face.

After all, Ma Xiuying is not just Zhu Yuanzhang's wife for their brothers.

Whether it was in the past or now, Ma Xiuying takes great care of these brothers, and they know these things in their hearts.

When Tang He turned around and walked to the front of the steps, Ma Xiuying also walked down with Qi Heng.

"Meet the Queen."

Listening to Tang He's slightly raw tone, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but say, "Tang He, why don't you participate in the banquet?" ”

Tang He said: "The minister is sick." ”

Ma Xiuying said: "Is it heavy?" ”

Originally, Tang He, who just said this casually, suddenly didn't know what to say.

And Ma Xiuying said very face-savingly: "It's good if it's not heavy, everyone grew up eating whole grains, where can I not get sick, besides, the cold wind has turned around and the tide has come up in the past two days, if people are depressed again, they will be more likely to get sick." ”

Although Ma Xiuying's words were not very clear, the meaning of what should be said was also expressed.

Tang He smiled and said, "The minister understands what the queen mother means, and the minister can bear it." ”

Seeing this, Ma Xiuying smiled and said, "Come on, drink and go." ”

But Tang He still said firmly: "Don't go." ”

Seeing that Tang He still had such an attitude, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but make her words clear and persuaded: "Tang He, you know Chongba's personality, if you have any problems with him, you must not avoid him, the more you avoid him, the more angry he becomes." ”

But the more Ma Xiuying said this, the more uncomfortable Tang He felt in his heart.

After all, they used to be so close brothers that it would not be too much to say that they were on an equal footing.

But now, everything has to take into account the emperor's mood.

Others are okay, whether it is Xu Da or Chang Yuchun, these people can think openly and save face.

But among the brothers, only his character is not good.

Tang He's temperament is a little pretentious, and some can't put it down.

It has always been that way.

It's okay in the past, Zhu Yuanzhang is just a handsome man and a big brother.

A lot of things can be done.

But now it's different.

He was the emperor.

In addition to being his brother of Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He now has an extra layer of identity, a courtier.

couldn't help it, Tang He said coldly in official words: "Please forgive the emperor, the minister is indeed sick and can't go to the banquet." ”

When he said this, Tang He not only didn't give Ma Xiuying face, but even Qi Heng beside Ma Xiuying didn't give face, turned around and left.

Although Ma Xiuying is a woman, her heroic temperament is no less than that of a man.

For these brothers of Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Xiuying really regards them as younger brothers around her.

Now seeing that the contradictions between their brothers are getting bigger and bigger, their hearts are also uncomfortable.

At this moment, Qi Heng, who had been standing beside Ma Xiuying and had not spoken, spoke.

"Yuwa!"

As Qi Heng's solemn voice sounded, Tang He, who was walking outside, suddenly stopped.

This tone is something that Qi Heng has never said to these big brothers.

didn't say it, but it doesn't mean that Qi Heng doesn't have majesty.

Especially in the military.

Even if he was Tang He, he couldn't ignore Qi Heng's words.

When Qi Heng saw Tang He stop, he continued: "You are a marshal in the army, you have been born and died for more than ten years, what's the matter, are you going to be a deserter today?!" ”

Listening to Qi Heng's words and looking at his solemn face, Tang He stood in place and was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Okay!" I'm going to the feast! ”

After speaking, he put on his helmet and walked towards the Wuying Palace.

watched Tang He walk into the Wuying Palace.

Ma Xiuying, who was beside Qi Heng, couldn't help sighing, and didn't avoid Yu'er beside her, and said to Qi Heng: "I just became the emperor, and now there are so many things, I don't know what will happen in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xiuying suddenly looked at Qi Heng beside her and said, "Jun Tao, these brothers around your eldest brother have been born and died for more than ten years, and now that they have finally built the country, they must not be dispersed." ”

"I can't say the identity of my sister in the court, it's up to you."

Although Ma Xiuying doesn't know a lot of things, she doesn't know a lot of things that Zhu Yuanzhang does.

But if she is as smart as her, how can she not understand some truths and not see some signs.

In her thoughts, whether it is these former brothers or the civil and military officials in the court, they must work together and do well.

And I've been working hard for it.

Although this kind of thinking looks a little naïve, but when you think about it, you have to be moved by her sincerity.

Qi Heng sighed, but still comforted: "Don't worry, sister." ”
