The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 134 Zhu Di's Unfeeling Request

Hybrid rice is difficult to say, but easy to say.

The main thing is to see what kind of height can be achieved.

It is naturally impossible to dream of reaching the heights of later generations, but to a certain extent, it is still possible to improve rice.

It is very possible to improve rice with improved disease resistance and high yield.

Zhu Ying didn't explain the concept of hybrid rice to Zhu Wei right now.

Because if you really want to start research, this is a long-term process, not to say that you can achieve good results within a few years.

Even if later generations have so many cutting-edge technologies, it took decades to study hybrid rice.

Of course, there is no end in sight to the study of hybrid rice, but with the deepening of research, better rice breeding will gradually spread.

Such a big matter cannot be handled by Zhu Wei alone.

Zhu Ying is not impatient, he is talented, and he still has decades to go, so he will always produce results.

However, Zhu Wei still gave him an unexpected surprise, which basically possessed the characteristics of a scholar.

After all, now that Confucian culture is in power, most of them are studying poetry and poetry. Other basic subjects can only be regarded as small ways for poetry and poetry.

Seeing that it was already late, Feng Sheng and Zhu Xi also bid farewell and left.

At midnight, Daming Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just finished reviewing the memorial in his study, was about to rest.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jin Yiwei that King Jin personally invited His Royal Highness Changsun to the residence of King Qin for dinner today. He must have drunk a lot of wine."

"Song Guogong and King Zhou waited at Changsun Duanxia's mansion for an hour, and then chatted with His Highness Changsun until Haishi before leaving."

It is early eleven o'clock in the evening, that is to say, Feng Sheng and Zhu Xi left Zhu Ying's courtyard half an hour ago, and Jin Yiwei quickly reported the news to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said: "It seems that the second and third children should accept the eldest grandson. That's very good."

Jin Yiwei's monitoring of Zhu Ying is only on the outside, and they are more protective of the scope of some daily activities.

As for the specific content of the conversation, there will be no eavesdropping.

"By the way, what is Old Seventeen doing recently?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

The old seventeen in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth is Ning Wang Zhu Quan, one of the nine great Sai kings in the future.

Last year, that is, in April of the 24th year of Hongwu, Zhu Quan had already been named King Ning, but now King Ning is only 14 years old, so it is not appropriate to become a feudal vassal, and he is still staying in the palace.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness King Ning has been studying military books recently." Liu He replied immediately.It is Liu He's basic duty to have a clear understanding of the movements of the princes and grandchildren.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tell Yunxi and Mingyue that they are about the same age. When Ruuo goes out to play with their eldest brother, bring Quan'er with them."

"I obey the order." Liu He replied respectfully.

Ning Wang Zhu Quan, born to Concubine Yang, is just one of Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang attaches so much importance, having said that, is mainly because of his appearance.

When Zhu Quan was in his teens, Zhu Yuanzhang called all the princes and grandchildren to have a meal.

At that time, when he saw Zhu Quan, he was astonished.

Among the many princes and grandchildren, Zhu Quan really stands out from the crowd. Not to mention his delicate features, he has an indescribable royal air all over his body.

With such a look, Li Jinglong, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, can be compared with him.

At the banquet at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately asked Zhu Quan to sit beside him and chat with him.

Zhu Quan, who is only ten years old, speaks generously and behaves well, and it is rare that he has learned a lot of knowledge.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang love him even more.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the year when Zhu Di defeated Beiyuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Zhu Quan was too bookish. As his son, Zhu Yuanzhang, how could he not be good at leading troops to fight.

So Zhu Quan and several other brothers were asked to train in Linqing together.

In the process of military training, although Zhu Quan was not brave enough to fight the enemy himself, he was good at arranging troops, calm and calm, and he did not have the slightest timidity even in danger.

The demeanor of strategizing is quite a kind of Han Xin's temperament.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang even more happy. It must be known that blindly hacking and killing are at most generals and the like, and the commander who can sit in the middle army and command the entire army is the commander.

That's it, in the second year after Zhu Quan came back, Zhu Yuanzhang directly named Zhu Quan the King of Ning, the feudal land of Daning.

Daning is the frontier fortress of Ming Dynasty. It is located outside the mouth of Xifeng and borders Beiyuan.

Taking this place as Zhu Quan's vassal land shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has high expectations for it, even now Zhu Quan is only 14 years old.

Being able to use Zhu Quan so reassuringly, on the one hand, is because of love, and on the other hand, because Zhu Quan is not a legitimate son, and has no qualifications to inherit the throne.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Ning Wang Zhu Quan should spend his whole life resisting the invasion of Ming Dynasty by foreign tribes and guarding the frontier.

And its descendants will also thrive in Daning, guarding the frontiers for Ming Dynasty from generation to generation.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, Zhu Quan will be the head of the Nine Great Sailors.

The same is true.

Two years later, when Zhu Quan became a vassal, Zhu Yuanzhang gave [-] armored soldiers, [-] chariots, and the brave Duoyan Sanwei cavalry as Zhu Quan's direct subordinates.

Such a configuration is simply the best of the nine great kings.

So Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Quan to make friends with his grandson.

After all, one is the future emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the other is the future strongest feudal lord, so it is natural to have a harmonious relationship.

Of course, if there is no harmony, there may be a little change in Zhu Quan's place.

The next morning.

Zhu Ying didn't go to the teahouse much anymore. The cooks at the teahouse arranged for a few to live in the yard and only made meals for Zhu Ying.

Before dawn every day, Guo Zhong, the eunuch of Bingbi, would come to remind Zhu Ying to get up and review the memorial.

Fortunately, Zhu Ying didn't feel angry about getting up, otherwise Guo Zhongke would suffer.

However, it was also because of getting up too early that Zhu Ying now has the habit of taking a nap.

After all, staying in bed ruins the morning, and getting up early is a silly day.

If it weren't for Zhu Ying's good health and ability to carry it, her mentality would have collapsed in the past few days.

Guo Zhong will be in charge of the memorials he has reviewed and brought to the palace.

But obviously, with the acceleration of his reviewing speed, the number of memorials is also increasing rapidly.

From breakfast to nearly two o'clock in the afternoon.

A total of [-] memorials have been reviewed and reviewed.

Most of the content involved in these memorials is still related to people's livelihood, and the main source is the submission from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zhu Ying handled it with ease.

If you encounter an impeachment memorial, there is nothing you can do.

Not long after Guo Zhong, the eunuch of Bingbi, left with the memorial, Zhu Gaochi came to the door.

"Why, I didn't bring your aunt with me this time." Zhu Ying asked with a smile.He was still quite impressed with Xu Miaojin who came together last time.

Zhu Gaochi misunderstood such a simple sentence, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely bring my aunt over next time."

The matter of King Yu's Mausoleum in Xiaoling Mausoleum has already begun to ferment among the members of the royal family. Now Zhu Gaochi, of course, can't pretend to be confused.

Zhu Ying was not surprised when she heard the familiar voice of elder brother, but asked with a smile, "Come here this time, but what orders does His Royal Highness King Yan have?"

"Brother really understands. My father asked me to come here this time, just to invite him to a dinner at the mansion. I don't know if he will do me a favor." Zhu Gaochi said directly.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying narrowed her eyes slightly.

Thinking about coming to the Yan Wang Zhu Di's dinner this time, I'm afraid there is something.

Zhu Ying knew that this probably had something to do with the fact that he had dinner with Qin Wang Zhu Xi and Jin Wang Zhu Yu yesterday.

Thinking about it, it was already decided yesterday.

But it is already two o'clock in the afternoon, and normally it is dinner time after three o'clock.

Normally speaking, Zhu Di should have sent an invitation card in the morning, and then Zhu Gaochi would come to greet him.

But Zhu Ying didn't receive the invitation, so Zhu Gaochi came directly.

This shows that Zhu Di is bound to win his banquet this time.The key point, Zhu Ying, is also clear in her heart, she is just afraid that she will not be able to shirk it.

"Okay, even if His Royal Highness the King of Yan invites you, you definitely can't refuse. After I tidy up, let's go." Zhu Ying said straightforwardly.

"Then I'll wait for elder brother here." Zhu Gaochi said.

Zhu Ying nodded, then went directly to her room and began to change clothes.

After coming out again, Zhu Ying, who was originally dressed in sackcloth, had already changed into a new silk dress.

Neicun wears a black brocade robe and a scarlet robe on the outside.

Buddha depends on gold clothes, and people depend on clothes. Zhu Ying, who is dressed like this, is completely a first-class nobleman, full of aura.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and Zhu Ying finally came out.

When Zhu Gaochi saw it, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously bowed slightly.

At this moment, Zhu Ying already completely fits the image of the big brother in his mind.

"Let's go."

Zhu Ying said softly, and then took the lead to walk towards the gate, followed by Zhu Gaochi.

The official meeting with Zhu Di is also very important to Zhu Ying.

Although she didn't know what kind of medicine Zhu Di was currently selling in the gourd, Zhu Ying knew in her heart that her aura could not be overwhelmed.

Zhu Ying, who was dressed up to attend, was completely different from before.

"Why haven't you come here yet?"

Zhu Di looked at the sky, and it took at most a stick of incense to travel from Zhu Ying's courtyard to Yanwang's mansion.

"Your Highness, don't worry, no matter what else, even with the relationship between the eldest prince and Zhu Ying, Zhu Ying will definitely not refuse." Yao Guangxiao stood aside and said softly.

In front of them, more than a dozen servants were busy preparing everything.

Zhu Di attached great importance to this dinner party, and he knew clearly that if he could take charge of the war, there would be hope for all possible follow-ups.

Not long after, Zhu Ying appeared in front of Zhu Di in a vermilion satin robe.

"I met my fourth uncle."
