Fortunately, the fifth brother told him that it was their uncle, Li Zhen, the Duke of Cao Guo, who was also the only surviving relative of his father. His Royal Highness the King of Chu was a little more comfortable at this time.

Who makes the family the only elder relative? Hey, if you don't fix it, you can't help it. Our prince is so open-minded......

Behind Cao Guogong was another Cao Guogong, his cousin Li Wenzhong.

That's right, there are two Cao Guogongs right now. At the beginning of the country, Boss Zhu has no culture, and he can give the old five the title of King Wu, so what's so strange about sealing the two Cao Guogong?

And it was Li Wenzhong's first title of Cao Guogong, and in the turn of the year, Lao Zhu felt that Lao Tzu was lower than his son's title, so he also gave Li Zhen the title of Cao Guogong, and this kind of strange scene of father and son having the same lord appeared.

Zhu Zhen didn't care about his uncle, mostly because of this dignified-looking and yellow-skinned cousin. Bao'er's cousin became the number two person in the Ming Army after Chang Yuchun's death.

In the early years of Hongwu, where there were many proud soldiers and fierce generals, he did not have a solid record and superhuman ability, even if he relied on nepotism, he could not sit firmly in the position of deputy general.

The young man who followed his cousin was even more powerful - his name was the first handsome guy in the main hall, the next Cao Guogong, the founder of the Yongle prosperous era who turned the tide for the Yan army, and Li Jinglong, the 'generation of war gods'!

Li Jinglong is tall and has long legs, ape arms and bee waist, and is heroic, even if it is a straw bag, it is an embroidered straw bag that can bluff people.

To His Royal Highness the King of Chu's surprise, this 'Ming God of War' actually had an excellent relationship with the fourth brother.

"Oh, cousin, why are you here?" As soon as the two met, they hooked shoulders and talked and laughed.

"It's the New Year, I'm busy socializing. Unlike the fourth uncle, he can't even get out of the door. Li Jinglong also laughed and teased: "Catch Ming'er and take you out to Qinhuai River for a long time?" ”

"you, I know I can't get out......"

Looking at the greasy energy of the two, Zhu Zhen somewhat understood why many people said that Li Jinglong was the first contributor to the Jingjing.

This distraction, many princes he didn't have time to recognize, but he saw the Marquis of Deqing, who had a relationship.

Because everyone else is in groups of three or five, talking and laughing. Only Liao Yongzhong had a black face, looking like no one was close to him, as if anyone owed him 800 yuan.

Liao Yongzhong didn't even look at their brothers, and went straight into the main hall.

Zhu Zhen remembered that two months ago, this guy was still in high spirits and was very respectful to their brothers.

Why haven't you seen each other for two months, so unlucky?

~~

At four o'clock, the sound of Shao music sounded, and His Majesty Emperor Hongwu arrived.

The chaotic Fengtian Hall immediately restored order, and the ministers knelt down to greet the ascendant.

"Hahaha, everyone come to our house for dinner, don't be polite. Get up, it's time to pull it, it's time to ha, it's time to get it. Zhu Yuanzhang was full of spring breeze and a mouthful of Fengyang words.

"Obey, superior!" The ministers responded loudly.

The upper position is the person who sits in the first place at a table of meals. This is the Huaixi brothers' unique name for Zhu Yuanzhang, which is closer than calling 'emperor', and it also shows their superior status.

"Sit down." Zhu Yuanzhang sat down at the top of the main table, and then beckoned everyone to sit down as well.

"Thank you, your superior." All the ministers sat down one after another, Li Zhen sat on Zhu Yuanzhang's left hand, and Xu Da sat on Zhu Yuanzhang's right hand. In descending order, Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Wei Guogong Deng Yu, Zheng Guogong Changmao, and the prince accompanied him.

The rest of the marquis and earls also sat under the guidance of the little fireman, and the kings of Qin, Jin, Yan, and Wu accompanied them respectively.

After sitting down, the marquis and earls, as well as those Huaixi civil officials, began to look around, to see how many tables they were, and who was sitting there?

From ancient times to the present, seating has never been as simple as where people sit. The heroes of Liangshan have to be ranked, and the rebel army of King Wu back then must also be ranked, and now he is the same as a lord.

Zhu Zhen followed the fifth brother to sit at a table in the corner of the second row, and coincidentally, he sat at a table with Deqinghou.

Looking at Liao Yongzhong's face, which was darker than just now, he knew that Deqinghou was not satisfied with his seat.

"I'm not satisfied with the table with the children, it's really ......" His Royal Highness the King of Chu secretly complained, and began to wait for the banquet to begin.

At this time, Guanglu Temple invited the banquet.

"Everyone is here, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked loudly.

"Back to the top, everything is here, and those who didn't come have taken leave." Hu Weiyong, the right prime minister sitting at the adjacent table, quickly got up to report.

"Who didn't come?"

"Uncle Sincerity, I said that I made the old mistake again."

"Oh." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded expressionlessly, and ordered, "Let's start the table." ”

"Open the table!" Guanglu Siqing sang loudly.

The sound of Zhonghe Shao music started, and the palace people in costume rushed in with gold lacquer trays.

As plates of dishes were placed on the table, the ministers were dumbfounded.

I saw that in the exquisite porcelain plates, there were fried leeks, fried spinach, fried shredded lettuce, fried shredded white radish, and a large bowl of vegetable leaf tofu soup.

In the end, I didn't see any meat.

Good guys, a table of green, green people panic.

It's not Boss Cao, it's Boss Zhu's treat, otherwise a group of martial artists would have to draw their swords.

Of course, complaining is inevitable.

"Why are you so vegan?" Zhu Zhen heard someone muttering quietly.

"Hey rabbits, is this?"

"My dogs eat better than this......"

"Shhhh

Even the fifth brother couldn't help but smile at Zhu Zhen: "You don't have to be sad, my father wants everyone to accompany you to lose weight." ”

"Yes, your diet pills are not sold." Zhu Zhen pursed his lips, then folded his hands and lay on the table, ready to watch a good show.

Sure enough, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang laugh and say, "Why don't you move your chopsticks?" Isn't our dish to our liking? ”

"Hehehe......" The nobles sneered, but it also sounded like 'hehehe'.

"These four dishes and one soup are the menus we set ourselves, and they all took a lot of thought." Zhu Yuanzhang took a chopstick and shredded radish and smiled at everyone:

"For example, this dish of 'often eat radish vegetables, and it is not harmful to any disease'."

"Hahaha......" Zhonggui laughed awkwardly.

"Let's talk about this again," Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed another chopstick vinegar cabbage stalk and said: "A hundred vegetables are not as good as cabbage, there are cabbages at home, and a hundred noodles come to wealth." ”

While cheering, the nobles secretly complained: 'Full of mouths, this is to test people? ’

"And this green onion tofu ......" Seeing that the atmosphere was not active, Zhu Yuanzhang simply asked: "Who knows, what does it mean?" ”

"Back to the top, this is the top position teaching us to be clear and innocent as officials." Seeing that no one was silent, Hu Weiyong had no choice but to go up and say.

"That's good, Hu Xiang understands people." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly, and beckoned everyone to move their chopsticks while eating vegetables.

The nobles had no choice but to reluctantly clamp two chopsticks, but they had long been accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and their mouths were very picky, how could they eat this kind of coarse tea and light rice?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about them, he ate it with relish for a while, picked up the spoon again, scooped out a bowl of vegetable leaf tofu soup from the soup bowl, and said to everyone:

"This bowl of soup, even more amazing, is the most delicious soup we have ever tasted in our lives! Let's call him pearl jade white jade soup. ”

"Hahaha!" The nobles laughed: "The superior is really good at telling jokes!" ”

"Yes, pearl jade white jade soup, it's so good at naming!" A bunch of old people slapped the table and coaxed. "Isn't it just leftover soup with cabbage and tofu and some broken rice grains?"

"If the upper position is doing business, how can Shen Wansan have anything to do......"

However, soon, the laughter became quieter, because they found that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy.
