On Fengtianmen Square.

In the sound of worship in the mountains and tsunamis, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that at this time thirty years ago, the palace of Yuan Dadu must have staged the same grand ceremony, right?

Meng Yuan's monarchs and ministers definitely don't know, and they won't care about the tragedy of this peasant family surnamed Zhu.

And now, will the same tragedy be unfolding?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like he was on pins and needles, and even had a slight disgust for this kind of grand ceremony that cost a lot of money.

'Knock knock, knock knock', it wasn't until the familiar sound of the flower drum sounded that the gloom in his heart was dispelled.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked for the sound, and saw that in the square in front of him, there was an additional Fengyang flower drum team wearing red and green.

This is the reserved program of the Hongwu Dynasty, every year the villagers come to Beijing to celebrate his New Year, and they will give the emperor a piece of his favorite Fengyang flower drum at the court meeting.

After the prelude, the Flower Drum Corps began to sing and dance. The flower drummers are all golden voices picked out by Quan Fengyang, and they grabbed everyone's ears as soon as they opened their mouths:

"Say Fengyang, say Fengyang, and play the flower drum with your hand. Fengyang is really a good place, the red dragon ascends to heaven and the golden phoenix soars. Count how many stars in the sky, and how many Fengyang will be.

Said Fengyang, said Fengyang, and played the flower drum with his hand. Fengyang is really a good place, and the emperor's grace is vast all year round. If you don't accept conscription and don't pay for food, both sides of the Huai River are beaming! ”

"Good, good, good!" The newly arranged flower drum opera is singing in the itchy place of the noble Huaixi, and they cheered again and again when they listened,

Even Zhu Yuanzhang smiled again and ordered these old folks to stay and accompany him for lunch.

~~

After the morning was dispersed, it was almost noon, and a group of Fengyang villagers were led into the Huagai Palace.

In the canopy hall, several long tables were full of chickens, ducks, fish, meat, all kinds of wine, and the emperor arrived before the villagers sat down.

panicked so much that the villagers quickly knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned out of the apse with a smile and helped the old folks with his own hands.

"Get up, you don't have to be formal, anyway, you don't understand those rules, just like in your hometown, you can do whatever you want."

After Boss Zhu finished speaking, he didn't go back to his dragon chair, took the hands of the two old men, sat down directly among the villagers, and drank with them.

The villagers were a little restrained at first, but after three glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became warmer. began to toast Zhu Yuanzhang one after another. Lao Zhu has trained a lot in the army, and naturally those who come do not refuse, and when the wine is hot, he has a family routine with them.

"How's your life going now?"

"Thanks to the emperor's Hongfu, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, our Fengyang has been in good weather year after year." An old man said with gratitude on his face: "The emperor has exempted us from taxes and forced labor, and it didn't fall into the honey pot that day!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The villagers also hurriedly agreed.

"Hahaha, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled happily. "When we become emperors, we have to let the old folks get a glimpse of it. Otherwise, this emperor is not fucking in vain? ”

"Hahaha! The emperor is really nostalgic! The villagers laughed and patted the old Zhu horses. Don't look at them all from the countryside, there are endless words to sing praises of virtue.

"I heard before that our old Huaixi brothers sent their families back to enclose land to build a manor, which was very disturbing to the people, we have already rectified them, and also set up an iron list on Fengtianmen Square, warning them to restrain their families and not disturb the place." Zhu Yuanzhang asked again:

"It's been a few years, I wonder if they have done it again?"

"No, no, absolutely nothing!" The villagers shook their heads together, and an old man smiled:

"Who dares not to listen to the emperor? Besides, isn't there still an old man watching from South Korea? Who dares to mess around and lose the emperor's face, without the government, the Han Gong will break his legs! ”

"Oh, hehe, good." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with his beard, and the prince who accompanied the wine on the side felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his father's laughter.

But Zhu Yuanzhang would not show his face to the villagers, and asked them how the construction progress was, and did it disturb the people?

The villagers all said that the progress was very fast, one day at a time, the Korean public administration was very good, and the people and the people did not disturb each other.

"Well, okay, when the Imperial City of Zhongdu is repaired, let's go back to see you." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "And those rich immigrants who moved from Jiangnan, how do you get along with you?" Did you run away? ”

"Being able to settle in Zhongdu is a blessing that they have cultivated for eight lifetimes, and they can't get rid of it!" The villagers smiled and wiped their sweat, and all the wine woke up.

The emperor also asked a lot of questions, and their pants were wet when they asked.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't break the casserole to ask to the end, and asked a few more questions, so he only drank with them and had a good time, and the atmosphere quickly became relaxed again.

drank until the sun set in the west, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked the prince to send the old villagers out of the palace for him. Before leaving, I didn't forget to let people pack the remaining dishes and take them to the villagers for dinner.

By the time the prince came back, Zhu Yuanzhang had already drunk a pot of strong tea and basically sobered up.

"What do you think?" As he spoke, he pointed to his back and asked the prince to scratch it. "I itched a lot when I drank just now, but it made us itch."

"It's hard to say." Zhu Biao shook his head while being scratched by his father. "It feels a little unreal."

"Yes, they have been acting every year, and they have learned all of them, and they have learned to report good news and not bad news." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "It seems that you have to change people every year to hear something useful." ”

"But the life of the villagers is definitely getting better and better every year." Zhu Biao smiled: "I see that they only drink, and they don't use chopsticks much. ”

"Haha, yes. Do you think of the first year of Hongwu, when they ate us all the pots and bowls, right? Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "That's right, the villagers just live a good life, and they shouldn't worry about other things." ”

"Dad, you stare at it for a while, there will be another one in the evening." Zhu Biao said softly.

"It's fine." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, tossing is still a little tired. got up with the support of his son and said, "Raise your spirits and sing the highlight of the night." ”

~~

The Fengtian Hall was decorated with lanterns and feasts, and the scale was much larger than the lunch one!

Zhu Yuanzhang is going to hold a banquet to celebrate the New Year with his old brothers.

Spending Chinese New Year's Eve with his family and his brothers on New Year's Eve is what Zhu Yuanzhang has been accustomed to for many years. It has been exactly twenty years since the first piece of land was laid down and the state was laid, and it has been like this for twenty years.

As soon as the time came, the nobles in Beijing came to the banquet one after another.

Because of the nature of a family banquet, the people who greeted the guests at the gate of Fengtian Hall were all Zhu Yuanzhang's sons.

Zhu Zhen also took the initiative to ask Ying and stood at the door with his brothers. Not for anything else, mainly to take the opportunity to meet those celebrities who have only been seen in TV series.

The most famous is naturally the general of the conquest and the Duke of Wei, Xu Da, I saw that he had a clear face, a burly figure, three long beards fluttering, his eyes were introverted, and his demeanor was calm and moderate, and he looked like a scholar.

From the second and fourth brothers' fanatical eyes, circling around him like dogs, you can know that General Xu no longer needs any external proof.

He is one of the top ten and even the top five famous generals in history.

But Xu Da is just an example, most of the nobles look very casual, and their demeanor is even more unrestrained. There was even a kiss on his face......

Damn, the innocent body of this king...... Zhu Zhen regretted his death and came to be this welcome.
