First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 176 Jade Seal
Zhu Biao smiled and walked to his father's side, the two of them walked towards the inner palace, and the eunuchs and court ladies behind them followed from a distance, which is also a habit for many years.

The father and son talked about the wedding with a smile for a while, and then Zhu Biao said slowly: "Yan Shenggong doesn't know what he is preparing for."

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile remained unchanged: "We know this, it's really exciting."

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. If he could know what it was in advance, then he could make some preparations in advance: "What is it that can make the emperor tempted."

Although he was asking, Zhu Biao probably guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang is now the lord of the world, and all rare treasures are just playthings, not worthy of an emperor's heart.

Unless that thing is of great benefit to consolidating his rule, and there are only a few things that can play this role, especially the Jiuding and Chuanguo Yuxi, which are extremely important to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his son, knowing that he probably guessed it, and said with his hands behind his back, "Chuan Guo Yuxi, I didn't expect this thing to end up in the Kong family. We only found out a few days ago."

When Zhu Biao heard that it was really the Chuanguo Jade Seal, he was excited for a while, and then calmed down. His father had already conquered the world, and the Chuanguo Jade Seal had long been lost. The symbolic meaning of his compliance with the destiny has also been reduced after so many dynasties. Not a lot.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, it is icing on the cake that this thing can be taken back, and it doesn't hinder anything if it can't be taken back, but tomorrow is Zhu Biao's big wedding, if he can receive the Chuanguo Yuxi tomorrow, it will have great significance for consolidating Zhu Biao's position , after all, there were many superstitious people in ancient times.

The Chuan Guo Yuxi last appeared in the Five Dynasties Later Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Congke of the Later Tang Dynasty went up to the building and set himself on fire when foreigners invaded. The Chuan Guo Yuxi disappeared in this fire. Later, there were various news about the Chuan Guo Yuxi, but Neither can prove its authenticity.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold voice: "Even the descendants of the Confucian family don't know about the fact that the Confucian family passed on the imperial jade seal. Before Kong Xixue took out the jade seal from the secret room before leaving, only the people in the Confucian mansion knew about it. It seems that generations of Confucian patriarchs The word of mouth is passed on in exchange for shelter when the Confucian government is in danger."

Zhu Biao glanced at his father and emperor. The Confucian family had a jade seal of the state but did not present it when the country was founded. This violated Zhu Yuanzhang's taboo. I am afraid that the Confucian family made a mistake.

In fact, the most critical issue is that there is an inner ghost with a very high status in the Confucian mansion. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang should not know about passing on the jade seal of the country. Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to react when it is suddenly presented tomorrow. the Kongs.

But now that Zhu Yuanzhang had carefully considered the pros and cons, Zhu Biao asked, "Then Father is planning to accept this treasure, or does he have other plans?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer but asked his son, "If it were you, what would you do with it?"

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Send someone to find a way to take away the Chuan Guo Yuxi, otherwise there will be disadvantages no matter how you deal with it."

The Confucius family will definitely say that the auspiciousness came from heaven, which made Chongbao come into the world, and congratulate the Great Heaven’s destiny, but the emperor accepted the auspiciousness, and then he would have to admit that he did not do well when God was angry, and the royal family had to accept Kong Family affection, after all, this can be regarded as the manifestation of Kong Sheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction, and the two of them returned to the Imperial Study Room. The rest of the people did not dare to follow. Zhu Biao was a little excited. After all, the Chuanguo Yuxi was still very attractive to him. Of course, most of them were curious. The jade seals that have been used.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair and looked at his son's expectant expression for a while. His son has been mature and prudent since he was a child, and he can treat everything calmly and indifferently. This is a rare appearance.

Zhu Biao also felt his father's bad taste, and looked at him helplessly. Zhu Yuanzhang cheerfully took out a delicate wooden box carved with dragon patterns from behind, and put it on the table.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "The jade seal was delivered to the palace last night, and we have been excited for a long time. Come and take a look, Biaoer."

Zhu Biao stepped forward to open the wooden box, and inside was a simple and elegant seal, four inches in diameter, with five dragons in Shanghai, which looked very attractive.

Zhu Biao glanced at his father, saw his smiling face, and stretched out his hand to hold out the Chuan Guo Yuxi. The first thing he saw was the inscription "Dawei Shou Han Chuan Guoxie" on the shoulder of the Chuan Guoxi, and then Looking at it from the bottom, it is a corner filled with gold. If it is slightly reversed, it is the eight seal characters of "Ordered by the sky, long life and eternal prosperity".

Zhu Biao looked at it for a while and put the Chuanguo jade seal back into the wooden box. His biggest impression was that Cao Pi, a sand sculpture, had something wrong and actually carved words on the jade seal to prove that he was not "usurping the Han". His behavior really embarrassed his father Cao Cao.

These words are really annoying. The Sima family also usurped the world of the Cao family. They didn't write such unassuming words on it as "Da Jin accepts Wei Chuan Guoxie". can either...

The father and son looked at each other and said in unison: "It's right that the Cao family's family is not long."

Zhu Yuanzhang put the box away and said: "There are too many Kong family members, each with their own thoughts, as long as I find out their veins, all of them can be used by me, just like this Fang Yuxi, which Kong Xixue kept close to me, but it is still in our hands. .”

Zhu Biao nodded. Foreign enemies are easy to block and family thieves are difficult to defend against. The Kong family suffered a dumb loss this time. This was the big killer that was going to be sacrificed on the day of Zhu Biao's wedding, so the Kong family did not advertise that they had obtained the Chuanguo Yuxi .

But now that it is lost, the Kong family can't say anything. Could it be that they have privately kept the imperial jade seal for hundreds of years?

Kong Xixue has already gone outside the city, and it is too late to make any auspiciousness, and he should be terrified now, after all, only his uncles and brothers in his direct line know about passing on the jade seal of the country.

Now Yan Shenggong's situation is that there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back, and both sides are waiting to chew him up, but this has nothing to do with Zhu Biao, and now he can prepare for the wedding with peace of mind.

Zhu Biao came out of the imperial study, and on the way back to the East Palace, he saw Xu Da leading a large group of people out of the palace. Zhu Biao asked someone to ask and found out that he was going to the princess's house.

Xu Da is the officiant of this big wedding, and he is also the most suitable person. He should be Li Shanchang, but thinking that his youngest daughter is a side concubine, it is not appropriate for him to be the officiant of the main concubine, so he declined.

Among the rest of the people, except for Xu Da's status and status, he was not qualified, so this job fell on him. Of course, Xu Da didn't have any dissatisfaction, and it was also a face to be able to preside over the prince's wedding.

What's more, when Zhu Yuanzhang had a drink with him last time, he said that in the future, the concubine will come from the Xu family. No one can say what will happen in the future, but Xu Da is still very happy.

In fact, he was also very disappointed that his daughter didn't become the crown princess, after all, he was the number one in military exploits, and he was a little bit upset to let that fellow Chang Yuchun pick the peaches.

However, he also understands that his military achievements are outstanding and there are no stains, unlike Chang Yuchun who often kills prisoners indiscriminately, which makes people panic, so he is the commander of Chang Yuchun in most battles.
