Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 12 Arrangement
Unaware that what he said made Yiluan Si bear a greater burden, Zhu Ji Youzai returned to Jiqing Gate.

And the maids in the Forbidden City were pleasantly surprised to find that today's emperor finally had an earth-shaking change in mood, and he no longer had to wait in the palace in fear like a few days ago.

When Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Forbidden City, he went straight to Kunning Palace.

The husband and wife sat on the warm couch, shut everyone behind and closed the palace door, Zhu Yuanzhang's excitement still couldn't stop.

"Liu Bowen, this old guy, has a very vicious vision. Sister, did you hear that today, it is worth the silver mine that our Ming Dynasty has paid taxes for several years. He said it without blinking an eye. .”

"No, we can't wait more and more now. Sister, otherwise, let's recognize him now."

"Have you seen his indifference? We're sure he knows more than these two mines. We, we really gave birth to a natural god."

In Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's chatter echoed everywhere.

Empress Ma looked at the arrogant emperor beside her with a smile, who looked like he had never seen the world, but she didn't mean to ridicule at all.

Although she hid behind the screen and never saw Zhu Ji's face today, all the conversations they had in the living room fell into her ears.At this moment, what she was thinking was exactly the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's, but it was not as obvious as Zhu Yuanzhang's.

However, compared with Zhu Yuanzhang who had no worries, Empress Ma still kept a trace of sobriety.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how to reward Ji'er after he returns?"

"After all, he is the real boss. He is more qualified to be the crown prince than Biao'er in terms of succession. If we don't handle it well, we will harm him by doing this. Why don't we find more excuses to reward him in the future? , let him live a safe life as a rich man."

Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously refuted.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't open his mouth immediately.

After keeping Kunning Palace quiet for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head very seriously:

"No."

Before today, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Zhu Ji was still at the level of being a father.Although he has some concerns about Zhu Ji's identity, on the whole he still prefers to keep the current court structure unchanged.

But after being reminded by Empress Ma just now, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately began to think carefully.

Although the time is very short, it is completely enough for a qualified emperor.

Seeing Empress Ma hesitated to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang held her hand tightly, but did not give her a chance to interject.

"Sister, there is no need to tell lies between us. If he hadn't been our own son, he would have died on the street for the sake of the Ming Dynasty."

"We are going to not reveal our identity for the time being, but we must recognize him as soon as possible, and then take him out of the grave. From now on, we will ask Yi Luan to strengthen his defenses against the house outside Mochou Lake."

Before that, although Zhu Yuanzhang also sent people to secretly protect Zhu Ji, the weight of the eldest son did not overwhelm the pressure brought by his influence.

But what Zhu Ji showed today is so important that to some extent, it can be compared with the great Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang regards as his life.This made Zhu Yuanzhang not in a hurry.

Now he can no longer guarantee that the patience of a dozen or so Yiluan divisions can guarantee Zhu Ji's safety in the open environment outside the city.

Hidden in his heart was a more cold-blooded thought, this son can die, but he must not fall into the hands of others.

"Besides, before welcoming him back to the court, we must first make an appointment with him."

Empress Ma could feel the urgency in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart from the hand holding her.

She knew very well what the person next to her was anxious about now, it was the double oppression of the inseparable family affection and the threat of the country and the country, this man, now he was panicking.

"Has Your Majesty found a suitable family?"

When it came to Zhu Ji's marriage, Empress Ma also felt that there was no delay.

For the past three years or so, Zhu Ji has been in a state of filial piety.The age at which she should have been married was dragged down by filial piety and family circumstances until now.

Although it is indeed a good thing for them, but at the age of Zhu Ji who is about to reach the crown, once they recognize each other, they must first talk about marriage for Zhu Ji.

Moreover, Zhu Ji's foundation in the court was weak, so just before welcoming him back, he found a good marriage for him, firstly to consolidate the status of the prince, and secondly to win over the founding heroes, the best of both worlds.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded very naturally.

"Xu Da's family originally wanted to give the fourth child a marriage, but now it's cheaper for him. There is also Feng Sheng's family, who will also be given a marriage. I will issue an edict to let them return to Beijing in a few days. The identity of that bastard can be Let them know first."

"As for the future arrangements for him, if he knows his identity as the eldest son of the emperor and really has the ambition to take that position, we won't stop him. But if he doesn't have the intention, we won't let him out of the capital either."

Zhu Yuanzhang's older sons have been forcibly sealed by him over the years against the opposition of his ministers to open the mansion and build teeth to guard various places.

Now explain to Empress Ma that Zhu Ji will be kept, and Zhu Ji's future path has obviously been arranged.

Or, he replaced Zhu Biao as the prince to inherit the throne.

Or, live in Yingtian Mansion carefree and be a prince of peace.

Zhu Yuanzhang will not let his country become chaotic because of the struggle between his sons and heirs.

Such an arrangement has ensured Zhu Ji's safety to the greatest extent, and Zhu Yuanzhang even considered the possibility of Zhu Ji inheriting the throne.

When Queen Ma heard this answer, she couldn't help but nodded.

Although he was full of guilt towards Zhu Ji, Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, whether as a king or as a father, was tolerant enough.But thinking about the way Zhu Ji even lightly handed over the silver mine to Zhu Yuanzhang today, Empress Ma felt that this son might definitely save her worry in the future.

Seeing the person next to the pillow nodding in agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of Zhu Ji's arrangement, except that he was afraid of making trouble on Queen Ma's side.

He knew very well how much guilt and longing Empress Ma had for Zhu Ji, a child who had been lost from infancy.

Now that they met twice, resisting the urge to hide behind the screen was enough to wrong her.If Zhu Ji's arrangements are accompanied by strong court considerations, I'm afraid his life in the harem will be enough for him to worry about.

He patted Empress Ma's back involuntarily, as if wanting to heal the pain in this loving mother's heart.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, just continued to shoot like this.

Kunning Palace fell into silence again.On the warm couch, apart from the temperature of the fire, it seemed to be a little more homely.
