Chapter 382: Gift!
The next day, the birthday festival came as promised.
Zhu Yuanzhang got up early in the morning, bathed in incense, and went to the Taimiao early in the morning.
On this day, the national holiday is also one of the few holidays in the Daye Dynasty.
Immediately after, Zhu Yuanzhang began to meet with his courtiers.
It's just that this time, in addition to the courtiers and princes, there are also envoys from some small countries in Nanyang.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very good.
Ten years after the establishment of the country, Gaoli, Wazhou, and Nanyang countries never came to congratulate.
The only state is the Ryukyus.
Unexpectedly, this time he was fiftieth birthday, and there were actually envoys from these small countries to present gifts.
Although there are less than five countries in Hega, it is a good start.
All the courtiers kept patting Zhu Yuanzhang's ass.
And this time, there was another surprise, that is, Colliers also came.
Moreover, this person was brought by Zhu Di.
This person's surname is Li, his name is Cheng Gui, and he is from Gaoli.
Born in Gaoli and Hezhou, this place originally fell to Mengyuan, but as Mengyuan became smaller, Li Chenggui took back this piece of land and reincorporated it into Gaoli.
Because of this, Li Chenggui became famous.
Li Chenggui looked at Zhu Yuanzhang above and knelt on the ground, "Li Chenggui, the minister of high power, knock on the Emperor of the Great Cause, today I have to see the face of the Emperor of the Great Cause, and I am fortunate to have three lives!" ”
Gao Li is a thorn in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
As a vassal state of Meng Yuan, Colliers has always been Meng Yuan's intimate horse boy, how could he come here to congratulate him?
He couldn't help but look at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di also hurriedly said: "Father, Li Zichun, the father of General Li, is the second son of the military and civilian Dalu Huachi Li Chun (Xiaoyan Timur) in Shuangcheng and other places in the Mengyuan Dynasty.
The father and son are brave and good at fighting, resisting the Japanese and the Jurchens, and on the surface they submit to Meng Yuan, but in fact, they have always been in Meng Yuan's heart and industry.
If it weren't for his father and son, Gao Li would have been completely annexed by Meng Yuan.
This time, I also hope to get the support of our great cause! ”
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Colliers still has such a second or fifth boy?
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes, it was good to be in that place in Hezhou, and it just cut off the way of Meng Yuan and Gao Li.
It can be said that it is a very critical position.
The current King of Gaoli, called King Gongrang, is clearly Wang Yao, and he is a person who is not very capable.
Since Li Chenggui came to find him, he has an idea.
If you rely on Meng Yuan, Gao Li will always only be able to be from the Wang family, and this Li family father and son clearly want to establish themselves as kings.
If he can use it for himself and contain Meng Yuan, he will definitely not be stingy.
Arriving here first, he was happy in his heart, but he just nodded on his face, and said: "Okay, General Xiao Li abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, he is a hero, what is the matter, let's talk about it later, take a seat first!" ”
"Yes!" Li Chenggui hurriedly responded, he knew that this matter was done.
When he stepped back, he glanced at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di also smiled slightly, these days, although he didn't get Wang Baobao, he caught Li Chenggui's line through sea trade.
The Li family's father and son are ambitious, and Zhu Di feels that he can help.
Once Gao Li and Meng Yuan are torn apart and become independent, then it will be good for the great cause.
Not only can it clamp down on the remnants of Meng Yuan, but it can also deter the dogs.
Kill two birds with one stone.
In this way, his credit is great.
Zhu Jun glanced at Zhu Di, he was really able to drill the cause, and he couldn't get Wang Baobao, so he went to get Meng Yuan's allies.
I have to say, this method is very good.
After the ministers of various countries saw the gifts, the princes from all walks of life offered gifts one after another.
Whether you are an adult or a minor, you are filial enough.
And the first one to present was Zhu Yingying, who was the grandson of the emperor, but he was above all the uncles.
It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to him.
His gift was a pair of glass horses, which Zhu Jun gave him.
The glass horse was presented, and everyone exclaimed in amazement.
Although glass is rare in the great cause, it is not nothing, and it has been spread overseas.
Even in Lingnan, there were missionaries who opened a glaze factory, and Chen Han relied on this glaze to open trade and loot gold and silver from various countries.
But this thing is deeply loved by the nobles, and they either put it out to save face, or they die and be buried together.
This glass horse is pure and thorough, without a trace of impurities, and in terms of current technology, it is all first-class.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shuangma and was pleasantly surprised, "Okay, we like this gift!" ”
He hurriedly pulled up Zhu Yingying, who was kneeling below, and even picked him up, and said to everyone: "Our eldest grandson is filial!" ”
Everyone praised Zhu Yingying, and the happy old Zhu grinned again and again.
Zhu Di pouted, and then Xiaopandun and Zhu Gaoxu also took out their gifts, trotted up to the Jinluan Palace, and presented the gifts.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, he was not like Zhu Yingying.
Zhu Yingying happily ran to Zhu Jun's side, "Sixth uncle, what are you going to give to Grandpa Huang?" ”
"You'll find out in a moment!" Zhu Jun said.
"Isn't it fun?"
"It's fun and exciting, your imperial grandfather promises to like it!" Zhu Jun said with a smile.
"What?" Zhu Yingying's eyes were full of expectation, and he held Zhu Jun's hand and shook it uncontrollably, "Tell me......"
Zhu Yu above saw his son pestering Zhu Jun, and he also smiled dotingly, this uncle and nephew have a good relationship like father and son.
He doesn't taste it, and he even likes to see it.
A group of emperors and grandchildren gave gifts one after another, such as Zhu Gang, although he did not come back, but his children came back to give gifts instead of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very satisfied in his heart.
Zhu Di's gift was a red coral, which was also very popular with Zhu Yuanzhang.
With Li Chenggui and a coral, this time Zhu Di is enough to attract people's attention.
Zhu Yu doesn't need to give gifts, the reason is very simple, the prince and the emperor are one family, and if there is a gift from the emperor's grandson, there is no need to give it again.
Besides, that pair of glass horses is not cheaper than coral.
Zhu Jun didn't rush up, but waited for Zhu Zinc and the others to finish offering gifts before stepping forward and said, "Erchen congratulates my father on a long life!" ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun has not appeared in the court for a long time, but the news of Fengyang has indeed come back one after another.
made it impossible for everyone to ignore Zhu Jun.
Zhu Di also looked at him, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and this younger brother seemed to have matured a lot.
He also wanted to know what gifts Zhu Jun would give.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him, "Just a word of congratulations, gone?" ”
Ordinary prince, Zhu Yuanzhang would never say such a thing, and fell into the ears of others, but it seemed that the emperor was asking his son for a gift.
This is not the treatment that ordinary princes can have.
It can be seen how high the status of this little son is in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
Zhu Jun said: "Father, my gift is ready, but it's inconvenient to carry it with me, why don't we go out and have a look?" ”
"Your gift is huge?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"It's not big, but it's exciting!" Zhu Jun squeezed his eyebrows at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "You like it!" ”
