Yin Fan III chose the city to welcome the people of the Ming Dynasty, saying that it was a city, but in the eyes of Zhu Zhangui and others, it was at most a small town with a little more population and a little richer.

Low city walls, dirt streets, and messy buildings are piled up on top of each other, making it as uncomfortable to look at.

"This West is nothing more than that!"

The old man sitting in the middle of the three collapses, looking at the messy buildings around him, and the people who had no energy and were dressed in gray and dirty clothes, his eyes were disdainful and contemptuous.

Although the people of Daming are poor, they are very energetic, and they are full of energy and vitality.

But look at the people here, lifeless, numb eyes, say it is a town, but in the eyes of the old man, it is more like a living grave.

"Your Excellency the Imperial Grandson, what do you think of my town, in your Daming, is it also a very wealthy town."

Entering the city, Yin Fan III noticed Zhu Zhangui and the others, all looking at the surrounding buildings and people. Thinking that Daming and the others were shocked by the richness and prosperity of this city, they felt slightly complacent in their hearts, and deliberately asked Zhu Zhangui who was next to him.

Looking at the surrounding architectural scenes, thinking of the rural areas of Lao Maozi in later generations, Zhu Zhangui, who was also similar to this scene, heard the translator's translation, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Where does this product come from with confidence?

Is there anything comparable to this, the pig farms in Daming Town are clean.

Although there was some slander in his heart, Zhu Zhangui recognized with a smile.

"Yes, the city in front of me is indeed very prosperous, and it is only a little worse than the area around our Jingshi."

What is diplomacy? As long as it is not the emperor of life and death, ordinary diplomacy is just commercial touting.

Besides, if you praise the other party, you don't lose any meat, and you are telling the truth.

The city in front of me is indeed a little better than some poor villages around Jingshi.

Hearing Zhu Zhangui's praise, Yin Fan III laughed out loud.

"Your Excellency the Imperial Grandson has praised us, we have developed into such a state, and it is also our own efforts, I believe that the Ming Dynasty will catch up as soon as possible."

Zhu Zhangui glanced at him in astonishment, is this guy so thick-skinned, does he really not understand the true and false, or is there a problem with the translation.

But then Zhu Zhangui reacted, Westerners are different from Easterners, and there is no such euphemism in language.

The modest words spoken by Easterners are told to Westerners by telling the truth, because they don't know what euphemism is, and what they say is straightforward.

Zhu Zhangui touched his chin, smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Soon, a huge procession entered the castle in the center of the city under the watchful eyes of the people of this small city.

"Brother!"

As soon as the procession stopped, a young girl dressed in a Western aristocratic group walked out of the castle with a skirt.

The girl was blonde and blue-eyed, tall, convex and backward, especially the white milk-like skin, which radiated a white glow in the sunlight.

And the most eye-catching thing is the white searchlight that is half exposed under the collar.

"Immoral!"

The old man who got out of the car frowned slightly when he saw the girl who ran over without rudeness, and the revealing dress.

"Yulina, come and meet the guests from Daming."

Yin Fan III, who got off the horse, stepped forward and hugged his sister, then took his hand and walked to Zhu Zhangui to introduce the two to each other.

"Dear Royal Highness, this is my sister Yulina, and she is also the closest person to me in this world."

Then he introduced Zhu Zhangui to his sister, "Yu Lina, this is His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun from the Eastern Ming Empire, and this time I came to our Ryazan Kingdom to promote friendly exchanges between the two sides. ”

In fact, when Yin Fan III introduced, Yu Lina's beautiful eyes looked directly at Zhu Zhangui.

Accustomed to seeing the rough skin and bearded face of Western men, the first time she saw Zhu Zhangui's oriental neat dress, as well as Zhu Zhangui's aristocratic temperament, Yu Lina was deeply attracted by Zhu Zhangui.

This man is so handsome, is this the prince from the East?

Looking at Zhu Zhangui's face, which was not handsome, but very intimidating, Yu Lina's face was slightly red, and she stretched out her white jade hand slightly.

Although Zhu Zhangui had no contact with foreigners in his previous life, he had watched TV dramas and movies, and knew that the other party's outstretched hand was a Western kiss gift.

Without stretching out his hand, Zhu Zhangui smiled and bowed.

"Beautiful Miss Yulina, it's a great honor to meet you."

Yin Fan III, who was on the side, thought that Zhu Zhangui didn't understand Western etiquette, so he hurriedly explained the reason to the translator.

But before the translator could translate it to Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Zhangui smiled at the translator and said: "I know their etiquette, but as the grandson of Emperor Daming, kissing a woman's hand is insulting to my identity, let alone a Western woman." ”

Zhu Zhangui won't kiss this girl's hand, he has a habit of cleanliness, and the devil knows how many men have gnawed this girl's hand.

Moreover, Zhu Zhangui also heard that the private life of the Western aristocracy during this period was very chaotic, the men had countless mistresses, and those aristocratic ladies had countless male favorites, and even heard that they often held some wild uncovered meetings, which can be said to be very chaotic.

The girl in front of you doesn't look innocent and lovely, maybe she is playing with a lot of tweed behind her back.

Naturally, it is impossible for the translator to translate Zhu Zhangui's original words, and expressed it euphemistically, this is the etiquette of the East, and briefly describes the importance of the Oriental women's festival.

It also shows that in the East, a woman's body is not allowed to be touched by other men except her husband, or even more intimate.

After listening to the translation, Yulina was not only not disappointed, but was more deeply attracted by Zhu Zhangui's gentlemanly behavior, and then moved away from her brother.

The prince in front of him doesn't like to have too much contact with other men, so even if he is his own brother, he must keep a certain distance.

After briefly introducing each other at the door, Yin Fan III and Yu Lina invited Zhu Zhangui and his party of important people to enter the castle.

When entering the castle, Yin Fan III also briefly described the town.

After his narration, Zhu Zhangui knew that the town in front of him was Yulina's fiefdom, and he also understood why Yin Fan III did not return to Ryazan Castle, but came to this small town in the east.

In a brief exchange just now, Yin Fan III asked about Zhu Zhangui's marital status more than once, and it was seen that his posture was to marry his sister Yulina Xu to Zhu Zhangui to promote the development of a better friendship between the two parties.

It's a pity that Zhu Zhangui vaguely refused this, Yu Lina is indeed very beautiful, but there is no shortage of beauties around Zhu Zhangui, and a girl like Yu Lina is at most rare, and more importantly, Zhu Zhangui doesn't want to marry a Westerner with a very chaotic private life.

After all, no man wants to be unmarried and have countless hats on his head.

Yin Fan III saw that he had expressed his meaning vaguely many times, but Zhu Zhangui had rejected it, and he was a little inexplicably disappointed in his heart.

During the conversation on the way here, he already knew that the imperial grandson in front of him was the future heir of the Ming Empire, and his father, the crown prince, would inherit the throne at the end of this year.

And this imperial grandson is very powerful in the Ming Dynasty, a lot of commerce and armies, as well as a powerful navy, are in his hands, and it can be said that his position is unshakable.

At that time, Yin Fan III thought that if the two parties could promote the marriage relationship, then the Ming Dynasty's funding for Ryazan might be greater in the future.

But he expressed his thoughts vaguely many times, but Zhu Zhangui rejected with a smile.

Yin Fan III couldn't figure it out.

Could it be that his sister is too ugly and does not conform to the aesthetics of the East.

He also inquired about the interpreter, and the answer he received was very beautiful, and he saw that it was not a compliment that had no conscience.

Then this is strange, his sister's appearance is in line with the aesthetics of the East, and she is also very beautiful in the eyes of the Orientals, why is His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun not moved.

Although he already knew that Zhu Zhangui already had several wives, he didn't care.

Didn't the translator say that marrying a chicken is a chicken, marrying a dog is a dog, and marrying to the Ming Dynasty must follow the rules of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Da Ming can support him and make Ryazan strong, whether his sister is happy or not when she is tossed, in fact, Yin Fan III doesn't care at all.

He has protected his sister for so many years, strictly guarding against letting his sister have too close contact with any man, and spending countless money on his sister, what is the purpose? It's not for the so-called family affection, but I want to raise my sister as an adult, so that I can sell it for a good price in the future.

It's a pity, now that a big customer finally came, the other party just can't look down on his sister, what is the problem, why can't Yin Fan III figure it out?

In order to promote a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, he has the opportunity to become the dog leg of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and then rampant throughout the West, Yin Fan III's dinner party can be said to be very sufficient.

All kinds of meat are piled up on the table, and fruit drinks can be placed as much as they want, showing a rich and arrogant posture.

In addition to these, Yin Fan III also prepared some dancers very intimately, ready to perform dances during the meal.

He had already inquired about it at the translator's side, and there was no habit of eating and dancing in the East, only the custom of sitting and eating and watching singing and dancing.

The banquet began at dusk, and Zhu Zhangui and the old man entered the living room with a group of generals at the warm invitation of Yin Fan III.

When it came to arranging the seats, something went wrong.

Originally, Yin Fan III arranged Zhu Zhangui in the first place, but when he sat down, Zhu Zhangui let an old man sit in the first place.

Yin Fan III asked vaguely, worried that he had missed something big.

Later, Zhu Zhangui explained that he was relieved.

Zhu Zhangui explained to him that this was his housekeeper, although he was a housekeeper, but because his parents were busy with government affairs since he was a child, it was the housekeeper who brought him up.

Although the housekeeper is a subordinate, in Zhu Zhangui's eyes, he is like a grandfather.

Knowing the reason, Yin Fan III praised again and again, appreciating Zhu Zhangui for knowing how to be grateful and other sycophants.

As the banquet began, when the hot Western dance was performing, Yin Fan III held a wine glass and toasted Zhu Zhangui.

"His Royal Highness, my sister is very curious about the Ming Dynasty, can I have the honor to explain the mysterious East to her."

A glass of wine poured into his stomach, Yin Fan III smiled and pointed to Yulina, who was following him and changed into a conservative dress.

He had already inquired clearly, Zhu Zhangui rejected his sister because his sister's dress did not conform to the conservative ideas of the Orientals.

So just before the banquet, he asked his sister to go back and change into clothes that he could not show.

After speaking, Yin Fan III also added jokingly.

"Actually, I'm curious too!"

Zhu Zhangui and the old man glanced at each other slightly, knowing that it was time to show off their strength.

Zhu Zhangui coughed lightly, and said with a calm expression: "Actually, I don't have anything in Daming, it's just that the territory is a little wider, there are more soldiers, there are more people, and there is more money." ”

Yin Fan III, who looked forward to it, and You Lina were stunned for a moment after hearing this, this answer is too simple.

Giving her sister a look, Yulina stepped forward with a smile and looked at Zhu Zhangui with adoring eyes.

"In this way, there are a lot of troops in the East, are there tens of thousands of people?"

Zhu Zhangui glanced at Yu Lina, knowing that this girl was sent by Yin Fan III to find out the bottom with a beauty trick.

Although Yin Fan III already had plans to form an alliance with Da Ming, before that, he still wanted to know how strong Da Ming's strength was.

But what Zhu Zhangui said just now was too general, and he really couldn't judge how strong Da Ming's strength was.

He couldn't judge how strong Da Ming's strength was, which made him unable to decide whether to become an ally or be a dog leg for the other party.

These two choices, each of which is related to the future fate of Ryazan State, must be inquired about.

"Tens of thousands, hehe, little girl, do you have any misunderstanding about my Ming army."

Before Zhu Zhangui could speak, the old man who was cutting high-quality beef with a knife on the side replied with a smile in Mongolian.

The old man can speak Mongolian, after all, he is a general in the north, if he doesn't understand the right words, he catches the tongue and relies on the translator to translate, which is a very troublesome thing, and if the translator dies or doesn't bring it one day, it will be troublesome.

Hearing the words of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson's housekeeper, Yulina looked at the old man innocently.

"Mr. Butler, do you mean to say that your Ming army is more than tens of thousands."

For this old housekeeper, Yulina, who is inexplicably cautious, is naturally polite.

Isn't there a saying that is good?

If you want to impress a man, take down the other person's heart and body, and if the man is indifferent, then attack the people around him.

When the man is surrounded by people who say that you are good, the man's inner thoughts will be shaken, and he will wonder if he has neglected your beauty.

The old man, who was eating roast beef, picked up the towel prepared by the guards next to him, wiped his hands and mouth, and prepared to tell these two Western barbarians about the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Yin Fan III wanted to make friends with the Ming Dynasty, and the old man also wanted to install a nail in the West, to be precise, by the side of the Golden Horde.

A peaceful West is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and only a war-torn West is what the Ming wants.

Now the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not enough to reach out to the West, and if you want to enter the West and take this land, it will take at least several decades of preparation.

But in the past few decades, the old man didn't want the West to develop peacefully, so he wanted to tie up a vicious dog here, muddy the waters of the entire West, and let them fight to the death in the war.

When the two sides are exhausted, it is the time for the Ming fisherman to profit.

Yin Fan III, this guy, the old man looks at him very pleasing to the eye, and the hospitality is so good, the old man has the idea of accepting the other party and making him the spokesperson of the Ming Dynasty in the West, to be precise, a vicious dog that muddies the waters of the West.

Seeing that the old housekeeper had a plan to talk about it in detail, Zhu Zhangui on the side did not stop it, and the smart Yu Lina intimately poured wine for the old man to moisten his throat.

After taking a sip of fruit wine, the old man coughed clearly, looked at You Lina and Yin Fan III, who were looking forward to it, and said slowly: "Little girl, let me tell you this, tens of thousands of soldiers are just a garrison of a city in our Daming. ”

Stretching out two fingers, the old man said proudly: "According to last year's statistics, there are a total of 2.2 million soldiers in my Ming Dynasty!" (Including various health offices, government service, county soldiers, brocade and clothing departments, etc.)

"Shhh

Hearing this number, Yin Fan III and Yu Lina were stunned, and Yin Fan III's number one subordinate on the side gasped.

God, 2.2 million, that's more than the people of Ryazan.

"How can it be that in the world, how can there be a country with so many armies, when the Golden Horde was the most powerful, it only had 200,000 troops, are you stronger than the Golden Horde."

Yulina, who was shocked by this number, her first reaction was not to believe it, and she habitually used the Golden Horde, the most powerful in her memory, as an analogy.

After all, in her cognition since she was a child, a country with a few million people is already a big country, how can there be a country with millions of troops.

If there were millions of troops, how many people would there be in the country?

The old man laughed and pointed to the surprised Yulina and the others.

"Little girl, do you know that the Golden Horde in your mouth is actually just one of the four parts of a powerful country divided into four parts?"

Yulina hesitated for a moment, remembering what she knew about the history of the Golden Horde, and nodded slightly.

"I know this, I heard that they all belong to a country called Yuan, as if they are all Mongols."

The old man nodded, "That's right, they all belong to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, this country called the Yuan Dynasty, used to be our northern nomads, who invaded us when our Central Plains Dynasty was lonely, and then my father, Eh, our former emperor, that is, the father of His Majesty today, led the people who were unwilling to be oppressed to drive out the Mongols and re-establish our country." ”

"When the Ming Dynasty was just founded, I had more than 800,000 troops in the Ming Dynasty, and now after decades of development, my Ming Dynasty is countless times stronger than before."

"Little girl, let me tell you this, it takes at least half a year for my Ming territory to go from south to north, and it is the kind of fast horse galloping."

The old man stretched out his hand and gestured as several people were stunned, "To the east, we are adjacent to the sea, and to the west, we border the territory of the Golden Horde, and it will take more than half a year to gallop on horseback. ”

"Think about how many people we will have in such a large territory!"

"How much?"

Yin Fan III, who was already stunned, subconsciously asked.

The old man smiled and knocked on the empty wine glass next to him, Yin Fan III hurriedly stepped forward to pour wine for the old man, and then looked at him expectantly.

Mei Zizi took a sip of wine, and the old man looked at a few people with a breezy look: "I have more than 50 million people in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, and now with the people of different races in various territories, the population of my Ming Dynasty has exceeded 10,000, that is, 100 million people." ”

"100 million people!"

Yin Fan III sat on the chair and looked at the old man with a blank expression.

He couldn't think of how many 100 million people there were.

If the old man in front of him really didn't brag, Daming has a population of 100 million, and the 2.2 million army doesn't seem to be much.

Looking at the stunned, uninformed Western barbarians, the old man's heart was relieved.

Boasting is still cool to outsiders, and I don't feel much when I blow it myself.

Oh no, I'm not bragging, I'm just telling the truth.

After taking a sip of wine, the old man decided to make up for it.

"In fact, these 2.2 million troops are only counted by the army, and I have an endless sea area and an invincible navy."

"Navy?"

Several people were in high spirits, and Yin Fan III looked at the old man expectantly.

If the Ming Dynasty has a strong navy, then after taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to be afraid of those hooligans.

The old man nodded slightly, pinched a grape and threw it into his mouth, chewing it while saying, "My Daming has nearly 1,000 warships of various types and 150,000 naval soldiers. ”

"Although these 150,000 people are much smaller than the army, these people are all seafaring experts, and in the future, once there is a war with a certain maritime country, I will quickly build all kinds of warships, and they can also serve as any ship at any time."

"Let me tell you this, as long as our Ming court is willing, we can form a huge navy with thousands of warships and hundreds of thousands of people at any time."

"Goodong!"

Several people swallowed hard.

Dear mother, thousands of warships, this warship is more than the army of their country.

If this is a bad relationship with the Ming Dynasty, what is the use of fighting, the army on the opposite side will come directly, and one person can drown them with a mouthful of spit.

After showing off to these barbarians, the old man reached out and patted Yin Fan III on the shoulder.

"Young man, you are very good, if it is possible, you can go back to Daming with us, at the end of this year, our old emperor will pass the throne to the crown prince, and then a grand military parade and celebration ceremony will be held."

"As far as I know, with one million troops and 50,000 navies participating, this is a rare event for thousands of years, and if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next time you can see it."

After smiling and sending out the invitation, the old man gave Zhu Zhangui next to him a look, and accompanied by the guards, he went to the rest place to rest.

"His Royal Highness, what Mr. Butler said is true."

It was a long time after the old man left, Yin Fan III gradually came back to his senses.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly, hoping that everything the old butler said just now was true, not that the other party was bragging.

Zhu Zhangui shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "Actually, what he said is not accurate. ”

Yin Fan III breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little lost in his heart.

It seems that the old man is bragging, alas, it would be nice if Da Ming was really so powerful.

Before Yin Fan III sighed in his heart, Zhu Zhangui's next words made him stunned.

"At the beginning of this year, my country changed the conscription system, and at the beginning of February this year, my country added 600,000 troops, which means that my Ming Dynasty now has 2.8 million troops."

"Plop!"

Yin Fan III sat on the ground with a butt and looked at Zhu Zhangui with a resentful expression.

The lively banquet did not end until midnight, and the lively town fell silent.

In the master bedroom of the castle, Zhu Zhangui looked at the bright moon with the east with his hands behind his back, thinking about going back.

Originally, according to their plan, they were going to go to Muscovy, but according to the inquiry, it was found that Muscovy seemed to have a very good relationship with the Golden Horde.

The old man, who had always hated the steppe barbarians, learned the news and directly canceled his plan to go to Muscovy.

Although the Principality of Ryazan is small, its lord is really good, and he is a dogleg worthy of training.

The old man thought that this one would be enough, and if he didn't fight back, he would consider changing it.

There is nothing lacking in this world, that is, there is no shortage of small countries that want to be dogs and legs for big countries.

"Dong Dong Dong Dong..."

There was a knock on the closed door, and a guard battalion soldier walked in.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? ”

Looking back at the strange expression of the soldier, Zhu Zhangui asked suspiciously.

"The king's sister came and said she couldn't sleep at night and wanted to talk to you."

The corners of Zhu Zhangui's mouth twitched.

He wanted to know if this girl named Yulina wanted to talk to him seriously?

On the morning of the second day, Zhu Zhangui looked at the beautiful blood plum blossoms on the sunlit sheets and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Zhangui and his entourage stayed in Ryazan for five days, and finally returned to Daming with the new concubine Yulina allowed by the old man, and his new eldest brother, Yin Fan III and others.

After these five days of in-depth exchanges, through Yu Lina's matchmaking, Yin Fan III was willing to take the Ryazan Principality into the name of the Ming Dynasty and become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in the West.

In order to ensure the safety of Yin Fan III and the country during the period when he left Liang Warring States, the old man waved his hand and gave all the 2,000 flintlock pistols carried by the Shenji Battalion as a dowry gift.

Seeing that his sister had just started and brought such a big return gift to herself, Yin Fan III was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Even when the old man promised that when he returned from Daming, he would give him a hundred powerful siege cannons, Yin Fan III was so happy that he almost drew it.

After briefly training the army of the Principality of Ryazan and teaching them how to use flintlock pistols and line infantry formations, the Ming army crossed the territory of the Golden Horde and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Golden Horde: Is there any end to it? In and out several times in the past few days, even if you go out to sell, there is time to rest.

When the army reached the battlefield where the battle was fought on the border of Sarai, the old man did not rush to leave, but set up camp in the same place, and ordered his men to erect a huge stone monument here.

The stele is 5 meters high and 2 meters wide, and a sentence is written on it in Da Ming script and Mongolian characters.

"Daming territory, trespassers exterminate the clan!"

That's right, the old man arrogantly set a boundary monument directly from here, and assigned all the land in the east to Beiju Luzhou and the Mongolian steppe to the name of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the red blood words on the stone tablet, Yin Fan III's eyes showed a deep envy.

What kind of arrogant country should this be to be able to say such difficult words, when will he Ryazan develop into a Ming dynasty, fearless of any enemy, dare to say no to any country.

The first snow of the year in Peking came later, and it snowed heavily in mid-November.

Zhu Chubby, who had been busy in the study for a day, hummed a little song in his mouth, and returned to the East Palace with his eldest grandson who had been busy in the study room for a day.

Since drinking the medicinal wine brought back by Zhu Zhangui, Zhu Chubby's body is better than before, I don't know how many times.

In the past, if I had a busy day, I would look tired when I went back.

But since he finished drinking the medicinal wine, Zhu Fatpang felt that he had endless energy in his body, no, after his efforts in the past few months, Zhang's became pregnant again.

That is, Zhu Zhangui is not at home, if he knows that his wife has a child again, he doesn't know how complicated his expression should be.

Back in the East Palace, Zhu Fatpang found that it was deserted inside, and his daughter-in-law and several children at home were not there.

"What is this girl running around when she is pregnant!"

Zhu Chupang shook his head helplessly, and was just about to take his eldest grandson to the study to study, when there was a sound of footsteps at the door behind him.

Zhu Fat and Fat Grandfather and Sun looked back, and saw Zhao Ling'er with a big belly, helping Zhang, who was also holding a stomach, and walked in with a group of people.

"You said you were really, you have a big belly, what are you running around in the snow? What to do if you fall. ”

Zhu Fatpang and Zhu Qirui hurriedly greeted him, and one of them supported the other, still babbling and not listening.

"What can I do, it's almost the end of the year, I'm going to the castle tower to see if your son has come back."

"You stinky boy, don't hurt your mother!"

Zhang glanced at her husband, then turned her head to remind Zhu Qirui, who was lying on her mother's stomach and listening to her younger brother's movements.

Zhu Chupang shook his head amusedly.

My daughter-in-law is waiting for her son, obviously looking forward to the old man's return soon.

As the time for the abdication said by the old man gradually arrived, the center of the imperial court moved to Beiping has begun to prepare for the abdication of the old emperor and the accession of the new emperor to the throne.

But it's going to be December, and the old man who came out of Xida hasn't come back yet.

This made the entire court uncomfortable.

What to do?

The old man has not returned, whether he will retreat from the throne or not, and whether the prince will ascend the throne or not.

"You, don't think about it, Dad is not a person who doesn't talk much, he said that he will come back at the end of the year, and he will definitely come back, you go to the city tower this day, if you let the old man know, he should think about it again."

waved away the palace people around him, Zhu Chupang was afraid that his wife would hurt her body because she was thinking about her own affairs, so she hurriedly whispered to comfort her.

"Your father is what he says, and you will believe it yourself."

Walking into the house, Zhang took the ginseng tea handed over by his daughter-in-law Ji Yun, took a sip, and glanced at her husband angrily.

casually threw the finished tea bowl on the table, and while helping the eldest grandson clean up the snowflakes on his head, Zhang complained in a low voice: "If he had spoken the word, the second child would not have been so miserable." ”

"Do your own calculations, do you three brothers have a head to be pitted by the old man's words, that is, your son is angry, and he has created a chance for you, the father, otherwise, it is not certain whether you can keep the crown prince."

"Gotta gotcha, it's my wrong job!"

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was speechless, Zhu Fatpang, who didn't want a few daughters-in-law to laugh at him, hurriedly stopped.

In fact, not only Zhang's, Zhu Chupang also had some entanglements in his heart, his father and his son had already arranged it when they left at the beginning of the year, saying that when they abdicated at the end of the year, a grand military parade and enthronement event would be held.

In other aspects, the imperial court is slowly preparing, but the army is not easy to do.

Without the old man's order, and at this special time, Zhu Fatpang did not dare to transfer troops into Beijing.

The time is approaching, and the troops preparing for the parade have not yet been in place, and if they abdicate and the army has not arrived, it will be a joke.

After all, the representatives of the vassal states and the vassal kings of the various states will come at that time, and if they make a mess, they will definitely lose face and lose their hair.

Zhang snorted lightly and didn't say much about it.

Looking left and right and seeing that the room was full of his own family, Zhang moved his body and looked at Zhu Chubby, who was sitting next to the stove and watching the recital.

"It's almost time, why don't you try on your clothes first, it's been a long time, you don't even wear it to try, if it doesn't fit on the day you use it, then it's going to be a joke."

"What clothes!"

Zhu Fatpang, who was looking at the recital and pondering, subconsciously replied.

Seeing that her husband was still pretending to be a lake, Zhang got up and stepped forward, leaned into Zhu Fatpang's ear and whispered: "Of course it's a crown suit!" ”

"Plop!"

Zhu Chupang was so frightened that he slipped off the chair, sat on the ground, wiped the sweat oozing from his head, pointed at Zhang, and said tremblingly:

"You, I'll be scared to death by you sooner or later!"

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Before the two mouths could mix, the eunuch's shout suddenly sounded outside the door.

Zhu Fatpang, who was sitting on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, when he heard that it was the old man's holy decree, he glanced at his wife, his heart was pounding nervously, and he quickly got up.

"Son, listen to the holy word!"

As the door opened, Zhu Chupang helped his wife, let the other daughters-in-law support the eldest daughter-in-law, and slowly knelt on the ground to listen to the holy decree.

Xiao Snot, who had just rushed back from the north, couldn't care about the cold, and quickly unfolded the holy decree and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, the abdication and enthronement ceremony will be held as planned, and I will return in the north, and all things will be handled by the prince before I come back, and all officials and departments of the court must not violate it, Qin this!" ”
