Chapter 37: The Great Feast in the Palace

Zhu Yu sighed, walked to the hut with a confused face, and sat cross-legged on the futon at the door of the hut.

Liu Ji is like a chess player, living down, but his eyes are becoming more and more energetic.

Zhu Yu poured himself a glass of water: "Sir, Hu Weiyong came to fall into the well?" ”

Liu Ji tasted a bite of the baked cake: "No, under the eyes of the Son of Heaven, if Hu Weiyong only has this mind, he can't be called Hu Xiang...... Even if you show it to Your Majesty, you will be polite, what's the matter? ”

Zhu Yu asked: "I want to ask Mr. for a person, this person's name is Huashou, he is a doctor in the market, and he should be somewhat famous in the Jiangnan area." ”

I don't know if Liu Ji knows everything.

Liu Ji was not in a hurry to answer, slowly turned his head and looked at the carriage in the distance: "Who is sitting in the car?" ”

Ah, it's Miss Liu, I took your daughter out without your consent......

Of course, this can't be said, it is estimated that Liu Jiu did not get off the car, and both times he took the carriage, which made Liu Ji suspicious.

Whether civil or military officials in the DPRK and China, there are many people who ride horses, and horse-drawn carriages are not popular.

It was inconvenient for the female relatives of the scholar clan to show up, so they took the carriage.

"Should I be called Miss Liu, but I don't think Mr. cares about calling me at this time...... Miss Liu was worried about her husband's safety, so I brought her here. ”

Liu Ji let out a 'hmm', as if he had guessed:

"Hua Shou was a person raised by the Yuan court, I have a close personal relationship with him, in the past, His Majesty recruited talents from all over the world, and sent me to persuade him to join the office, and now, he should still be in Yuyao Mazhu, King Wu secretly asked me about his whereabouts, it was him, let you come, right?"

No wonder Liu Bowen knows about slippery longevity.

Heaven and earth are not very big, and talented people are acquainted.

Zhu Yu asked: "Does Mr. know the likes and dislikes of Huashou?" ”

Liu Ji thought for a while: "Tell him, it should be regarded as a kindness that was not called back then." ”

After the business was done, next, Zhu Yu ate the baked cakes and told Liu Ji what had happened in the court in the past few days, and only by mastering more information could he play the role of a strategist.

"The last time I listened to Mr.'s words, I had some understanding, and I also thought that the art of war and horse politics were insufficient, so I invited Cao Guogong to teach me the art ......of war, and I lectured in the main hall every day, and occasionally went to the southern border guard to practice riding and archery."

Liu Ji nodded and expressed his approval: "Cao Guogong is compared to Feng Sheng and Deng Yu and others...... You have a good eye. ”

The inspector came over to urge, and Zhu Yu stood up and said goodbye to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji instructed: "Don't take my daughter out next time, the little woman has not left the pavilion, how can she take a carriage with His Royal Highness." ”

Liu Ji will be beheaded at any time, what kind of system are you talking about? Zhu Yu didn't agree, definitely not because he wanted to take the little white goose out for a ride, but because the promised things were also in order.

This is his principle.

"The king persuaded her."

On the carriage, the same words were relayed to Liu Yun, as expected, the little white goose pouted, and felt even more sorry for her father.

Back at Liu's house, Liu Yun asked Zhu Yu to wait in the courtyard, and she handed over a basket of vegetables.

"Dad said that Queen Ma likes to eat, it is some cucumbers, beans and greens..."

Zhu Yu is not rare, Queen Ma is rare, in the early years when Jiqing was besieged, she took women to plant vegetables to feed the soldiers.

And Queen Ma knows that Liu Ji's family is poor, so sending these things is more friendly.

Back in the palace,

When Zhu Lu heard the news, he endured the pain and came down from the collapse, grinned, and took Zhu Yan's hand.

"Seventh brother! In the future, if I hang the pot to help the world, it must be your credit! ”

"That's what you said!"

Recuperating from his injuries for half a month, Zhu Hu couldn't wait to ask Zhu Yuanzhang to beg for a tour of the west, he found Huashou, and on the day of the trip, Zhu Yuanzhang did not send someone to see him off.

Usually, when the prince goes out on patrol, he will send a eunuch.

Outside the noon gate, the brothers looked at Zhu Hu in the distance, with different expressions.

Some of the princes looked happy and envious, and some were nervous and panicked.

Zhu Zhen said: "My father can be ruthless because he knows that he has folk experience, so that he can understand the suffering of the people and not be deceived by hundreds of officials." ”

Therefore, the vassal king's patrol of the border is what he is happy to see.

Zhu Biao was very emotional, shook his head and sighed: "The fifth brother has been punished, but my father still refuses to come to see him... Sixth brother and seventh brother, among the princes in the capital now, you are the oldest. ”

Standing side by side with Zhu Biao were Zhu Rong and Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Rong withdrew his gaze.

"Fourth brother is about to return to the capital, right?"

"It's time to come back and get married, the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian have already set an auspicious date, just waiting for the father and the queen mother to appoint two ministers, to act as the chief and deputy envoys, perform the gift of accepting and asking for names, and give the Wei Mansion a canon."

The fourth brother became the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei, and he would also become the most powerful vassal king among the kings, and the second and third brothers were already married.

In terms of background, it is not as good as Zhu Di.

Zhu Yu had no other thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang had already decided on this matter, besides, he recognized Brother Bao'er as his master, and let Wei Guogong be the old Taishan...... The tree is a big move.

Next, he still promoted his status in the imperial court.

Especially the status of the East Palace.

After the empty seal case, many officials were transferred to the household department to fill the vacancies, and the elder brother lacked assistance around him, which coincided with the beginning of the founding of the country, and good governance would definitely be reused.

As expected, a few days later, Zhu Di returned from Beiping Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Zhang Tiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the chief envoy, and Zeng Yu, the Qin Tianjian as the deputy envoy, to go to Xu Da Mansion to accept the lottery.

This is a happy event for the imperial court after the empty seal case.

Zhu Di's wedding is far less grand than that in the middle and late stages, the palace is full of lights, and Zhu Yuanzhang entertains hundreds of officials in the palace, in fact, it is only an official above the fifth grade, who can enjoy such honors.

After the hundred officials sat down, the noisy sound gradually sounded, and at a glance, there were cows, sheep, chickens and geese, but most of them were radish and greens, which was not as good as the Jiangdong Building on Chengxian Street.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed, bursting out with a sense of coldness, he reached out and grabbed it on the Xiangnanmu table, picked up the chopsticks and gently tapped the bowl.

"Let's set up a banquet for King Yan today, and the only thing we use is a few bowls of bad meat, and in the future, your wedding in the house will not exceed such specifications, we will write it in the collection of rites, go back and take a good look."

The ministers were silent and nodded their heads.

Queen Ma glared at Zhu Yuanzhang and said coldly: "Di'er's wedding, what are you talking about this!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Big sister, let's take our body as a model, come and come, let's have a banquet, what about our baked cakes?" ”

The imperial eunuch was stunned.

Your Majesty, this is the wedding day of King Yan, have you never eaten baked cakes, or are you on a par with baked cakes...... Frightened, he hurriedly answered, and ran to the dining room in a hurry.

Hu Weiyong stretched out his hand and pulled out his sleeve, opened the white wrap, and held three baked cakes in front of him: "The minister has the rest of today's breakfast, if Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, the minister will give it to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, but Yong, you still know us." ”

The little eunuch hurriedly presented it, and Zhu Yuanzhang picked one up and gnawed it.

Seeing this, the ministers dared to move their chopsticks, but they didn't hold the meat, as if they all only loved to eat vegetables.

My unjust father......

Zhu Yu glanced at Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong was not as restrained as a hundred officials, he put his first chopsticks into the meat bowl, and the beef was sent into his mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Wei Yong, do you like to eat beef?" ”
