"Zeng Butang? That couldn't be better. Listening to the prince's choice for sacrificial wine, Song Pu breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, it was a little lost. He always thought that the candidate that the prince was interested in was himself, but he didn't expect it to be self-inflicted.

But more than that, he was relieved, he was really afraid of messing up this hard-won good situation.

And Zeng Tai is indeed not comparable to him. This Tie Xianggong, who even the emperor dares to contradict, is not only a friend of the prince, but also a prince of the prince, and has also served as a provincial envoy in the local government, and has been a Zhongshu Youcheng in Beijing!

During his period in Zhongshu, he was honest and upright, and did not collude with Hu Weiyong and his party, so he was not affected by Hu Weiyong's case at all.

In fact, he was still affected, because the Chinese book was withdrawn, and he was no longer a prime minister. He was reappointed as the secretary of the ministry and became the head of the civil service.

It's a pity that the six Shangshu in the Hongwu period are not long, and the average tenure is not more than one year, and it is very rare to do it for several years like Kaiji.

It is said that the secret of Kaiji is to guess the meaning of the degree, and when he faces the saint, he will carry two books with opposite meanings in his sleeve, and then observe the words and colors, and see which side the emperor leans towards, and take out which one to play. So every time he can cater to his wishes, Boss Zhu feels that he can always think of going with him.

And the ability to open up money is really strong, not only the work of the criminal department is in good order, he is also the best economist and management scientist in the Ming Dynasty. All matters concerning the state economy, land endowments, prison lawsuits, labor services, and canals cannot be adjudicated. He is also very good at assessing officials and helping Boss Zhu squeeze employees, so he has won the trust of Boss Zhu, and has become a consultant several times, and is also in charge of the affairs of his department, so he is naturally reluctant to replace him.

Zeng Tai is different, he does not have such outstanding ability as Kaiji, his biggest strength is uprightness, iron-faced selflessness, ruthless speech, and dare to criticize Boss Zhu's mistakes face to face.

Boss Zhu often said that he was his own Wei Zheng, but unfortunately Boss Zhu himself did not have the elegance of Erfeng, and once he couldn't bear it, so he beat up his Wei Zheng and drove him home.

Fortunately, Zeng Tai is now at home, otherwise it would be really difficult for the official to give up the position of sacrificing wine.

~~

Zhu Zhen found such a great god to come to Jimingshan Town, and then asked Song Pu to assist him, so naturally he didn't have to worry about those who didn't have it.

However, Zhu Zhen couldn't wait for Zeng Tai to come back from his hometown, because he was about to leave for the north.

Originally, he was going to leave in June, but Zhu Zhen didn't want to catch the old ten off guard, otherwise if he really found out something, would he have to kill a younger brother with his own hands? has abolished an eighth, and the seventh is also a dry bone in the grave, and if you bring the old ten to it, won't you become a younger brother's killer?

So he deliberately left some time for Lao Shi to wipe his buttocks clean, so he used the reason that the weather was too hot and his wife was about to give birth, so he stayed in the Qingliangshan villa and dragged it without moving.

Boss Zhu is very depressed, your wife gave birth in Yunnan, and you are giving birth remotely in Nanjing? Zhu Zhen said that my wife is not born, I am restless, and I really don't feel at ease going north.

As a result, at the end of the month, Yunnan 800 miles rushed to report, Princess Chu and Princess Hai gave birth on the same day, and both mother and child were safe!

Zhu Zhen finally breathed a long sigh of relief, this year a woman gave birth to a child, especially the first child, it was really a ghost gate. Although Zhang Xunzhen's stinky mother-in-law personally went to Yunnan to deliver the baby, he was still worried about his sleep and food for a few days before the due date. You can only eat five bowls of rice per meal......

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy, not only did he have two more eldest grandsons, but Xu Da's daughter and Liu Bowen's granddaughter were safe and sound.

On the same day, he named his two children, Xu Miaoqing was born two hours earlier, and he was the second child, named Zhu Mengxuan.

Liu Lisheng's one is the third child, named Zhu Mengcan.

And Boss Zhu announced on the spot that these three grandsons are all grandchildren, and when they become adults, Meng Xuan will be the king of Yunnan, Meng Xuan will be the king of Chu, and Meng Can will be the king of the sea, all of whom will be princes!

Before, Zhu Zhen's title of King Chu Haidian was too unique, and there was not much difference between the treatment and his brothers in all aspects, and it seemed a little nondescript, and even some civil officials who promoted narrowness said privately that there were two words for prince, three words for the county king, and four words for the king of Chu Haidian, which shows that his status is still below the county king, in fact, he is a little king.

Now, after Zhu Zhen has three sons, his position as the king of Chuhaidian finally reflects the real value - the three princes are really equal to the three princes, and they can be divided into three parts and passed on to the three sons, all three of whom are princes!

It's really envious of others......

Zhu Zhen is also very happy, otherwise he will have a headache with which son the throne will be passed on to in the future. Now Daddy is directly given, so don't worry.

So he accepted his father's love, and naturally he honestly prepared to set off north.

~~

The day before Zhu Zhen set off, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the prince to bring the eleventh and twelfth to see him.

"The son visits his father." Two young voices sounded at the bottom of the stairs, and Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head from the document and looked at his two sons.

The eleventh Zhu Chun, born in March of the fourth year of Hongwu, was born to Concubine Guo Hui, the daughter of Guo Zixing, the king of Chuyang.

The twelfth Zhu Bai, born in September of the fourth year of Hongwu, his biological mother Hu Chongfei, is the daughter of Hu Mei, Marquis of Linchuan.

The two boys were named princes in the eleventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Chun was named the king of Shu, and Zhu Bai was named the king of Xiang. They are all fifteen years old this year, and although they are still childish, their bodies have opened up and they have the appearance of adults.

Born tall and big, the eyebrows are handsome is the old twelve, the eleven is not tall, and the people are also gentle, standing with the old twelve, like a younger brother.

"It's really fast, in a blink of an eye, you have grown up and are going to become adults...... Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with relief, if you have more sons, you will have this benefit, and there will be a batch of abolition.

"Like your brothers, you have to start training for the feudal domain."

"Yes, Father." The two of them replied in a deep voice, the excitement on their young faces that could not be hidden.

After saying ......, Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a long time before sighing: "Originally, I think I am very good at teaching my son, after all, your eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth brother are all good." ”

"Although there is a bastard of the second child in the middle, it does not affect our confidence, this teaching a son is the same as teaching a student, how can we be successful? One and a half are not taught well and do not matter. ”

Saying that, he sighed depressedly and said: "But the old seven, the eight, the old and the ten are all fucking waste balls, and we don't have a score now." I don't know if our method is not working, or are you younger sons thinking differently from your brothers? ”

How dare the two boys interject on the topic of "......", they can only listen obediently.

"Let's think about it, it's probably the latter." How could Zhu Yuanzhang's strong self-confidence be wiped out by these little things? Sure enough, I don't think I have a problem.

"So let's sum up with your eldest brother and decide to hand over the two of you to your sixth brother to bring, he is closer to you after all, and he also grew up in the palace. You should know better what you think. ”

"Okay!" The two brothers couldn't help but cheer, obviously very satisfied with their father's arrangement.
