Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 236 The Ambition of the Kings

Compared with the hustle and bustle in Fengtian Hall, Wenhua Hall seemed too deserted.

Old Zhu sat in the place where Prince Zhu Biao of the Wenhua Palace used to sit, seeing all the furnishings in the main hall remained the same, the longing in his heart could no longer be restrained, and tears rolled down his face.

Because according to the system of the Ming Dynasty, for all banquets in the palace, the emperor entertained his officials in the Fengtian Hall, and the crown prince received congratulations from the courtiers in the Wenhua Hall.

However, the palace remains the same, but Da'er has been buried in Zhongshan forever.

Lao Zhu felt deeply for a while, then slumped to his chair and stood up, pulled himself together and walked out of Wenhua Hall, heading towards Fengtian Hall.

Although he likes this kind of excitement, as the emperor, he must give his subjects a chance to show off.

This is the emperor's duty, but not Lao Zhu's original intention.

Lao Zhu had just walked a few steps, when he suddenly heard a melodious music coming from the direction of Dahondo in the south.

"Qin Deshun, is there any movement at the Dahon Hall?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the grandson of the Three Emperors entertained the princes in the palace and the sons of the princes in Beijing at the Daben Hall."

"Oh?"

When Lao Zhu heard these words, he immediately regained his spirits. Not only did he dissipate the nostalgia that had just been brewing at the Wenhua Palace, but he even faintly felt a sense of anticipation.

"Quick!"

"Take us over there to see!"

"Leave the guard of honor here, don't disturb that little grandson!"

"promise!"

Qin Deshun smiled and agreed, and then ordered someone to sneak over to inquire, and greet the eunuchs at the Daben Hall in advance, lest they spoil the emperor's "big plan" by bragging.

In the main hall, Zhu Yunxi sat in the seat where the master taught, and the other princes and grandchildren followed the appearance of Fengtian Hall and rearranged the tables and chairs into two rows.

In the open space in the middle, there is a square wooden box that can make music.

Everyone was staring at the box that could make music, and a few people even walked up to it and rubbed it back and forth, wanting to open the box to see how a musical team was hidden inside.

Holding a wine cup filled with rock sugar pears, Zhu Yunxi yelled at the quasi-vassal kings of Ming Dynasty.

"quiet!"

"Sit back for me!"

"Don't look at that broken music box, it's just a paperback version, just listen to it, the one I gave to the emperor is more fun!"

Under Zhu Yunxi's repeated urging, everyone reluctantly returned to their seats, but each and every one of them kept looking at the so-called music box, and their faces were full of curiosity.

Seeing everyone's behavior, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to use today's trump card.

"A lottery will be drawn later, this music box is also one of the prizes!"

"From now on, if anyone ignores me again, I won't let him draw a lottery!"

When everyone heard Zhu Yunxi say this, they immediately sat upright, looking like a good baby.Even Zhu Gui, the oldest, sat upright, thinking how to get this music box and give it to the second wife of the Xu family to please his fiancée.

Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, Zhu Yunxi immediately raised his wine cup and said loudly.

"Today is Grandpa Huang's grand birthday, let's respect Grandpa Huang for the first drink, and wish Grandpa Huang a long life of 150 years, breaking the limit of human longevity!"

Zhu Xi frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling that this was unreasonable.

"Eldest nephew, shouldn't it be wishing grandpa the emperor long live long live?"

Zhu Gui rushed back without waiting for Zhu Yunxi's rebuttal.

"Long live and not long live, do you think which emperor has lived to be over a hundred years old?"

"Our eldest nephew said that he is 150 years old. This is a down-to-earth statement!"

"We are all sons and grandsons of the dragon. If we flatter those officials again, wouldn't we be living up to the love and love of the emperor?"

Lao Zhu hid outside the door, and nodded in satisfaction when he heard Zhu Gui's words.

For the first time, he discovered that Zhu Gui had grown up and was no longer the furry boy he remembered.

It's just that the bastard is still the same, calling the etiquette of the courtiers into flattery, it's really unreasonable!

However, after Lao Zhu secretly scolded Zhu Gui, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the music box in the open space, wondering how it made sound.

Thinking of what the grandson said just now that he had given him something better, he wished he could fly to Jinshen Hall immediately and take out the birthday gift of the grandson to see if it was as fun as the grandson said.

"The second cup, toast to our Great Ming National Games Yongchang!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, there was another burst of strange words from below.

"Nephew, I haven't finished that glass just now, I can't swallow this pear without chewing!"

"Me too, I'm chewing pears too, you'll mention the second cup later!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately looked at Wang De angrily when he heard their strange words.

"Re-pour the wine for everyone, remove the rock sugar pear from Tai Hospital, and replace it with the secret sour plum soup from the Imperial Dining Room!"

"okay!"

After a lot of tossing, everyone put sour plum soup in the wine cups, and it dried much smoother.

"The second cup, toast to our Great Ming National Games Yongchang!"

"Everyone wins by drinking!"

"Drink wins!"

"The third cup... the third cup, we don't respect anyone anymore. Let's each make a wish. It is right to borrow the glory of the emperor and make a wish for our future."

"Starting from Yiwang Zhu on the far left, everyone will talk about their ideals and wishes in turn."

Zhu was only four years old, and he was just a makeshift in the Dabentang. A child who read a few words with his husband every day, how could he have any decent wishes.

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, he immediately stood up and pointed to the music box.

"My biggest wish is to have this box!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard that sweat, he thought that it was unnecessary for him to wake up this guy.

"Don't worry, there will be!"

"Even if you don't draw today, I'll give you one on your birthday!"

Zhu Wenyan immediately revealed a surprised expression.

"really?"

"If I can receive this kind of box on my birthday, you can let me call you Uncle!"

Seeing what he said, Zhu Yunxi was very happy and slapped the table excitedly.

"A word is settled!"

After Zhu sat down, other young princes followed. Their reasons were similar. Some said they wanted a big bird from King Zhou’s family, and some said they wanted a music box. Only the king of Tang, Zhu Chen, had a special wish. It caused a burst of sadness to everyone.

"My greatest wish is to stay with my concubine mother, and never leave..."

Zhu Gong's words aroused everyone's sadness. If they were given a choice, none of the princes here would want to leave their mothers and concubines and go to a remote and wild place where they are not familiar with to be some kind of prince.

Even Zhu Gui, the oldest, would feel infinitely melancholy at the thought of becoming a feudal clan in the future.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhu Yunxi immediately stood up to ease the atmosphere.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. When the railway is built in the future, it will only be a few days away from the border to the capital. You can come back after sleeping on the train for a few days. You don't have to worry about the long distance at all..."

"What is a railway, and what is a train?"

"Railways are..."

"Forget it, just remember that the railway is a special kind of road, which is specially used for running trains. And the train is a special kind of car, which is faster than all the horse-drawn carriages you have seen, can travel thousands of miles a day, and is very It's so stable that people won't even feel the bumps when sitting on it!"

Zhu Yunxi's words successfully diverted the sentimental princes and grandchildren, and even Zhu Yunqi showed yearning.

While lamenting the unconstrained style of the third brother, he wondered whether there is such a magical train in this world?
"Then how can such a railway be built?"

"When I become...that or something in the future, I will write a letter to Grandpa Emperor, and do my best to build such railways in Daming!"

When everyone heard this, they all rejoiced.A few older princes even wondered in their hearts whether the eldest nephew "spotted" them?

Zhu Zhi stood up awkwardly and said.

"Nephew, do you want us to help?"

"If you have any difficulties, just tell us directly. Anyway, I, Zhu Zhi, have left my words here today. From now on, I will be in charge of the three guards of King Liao. I will fight whoever you say!"

"Whoever dares to stop you from ascending the throne, I, Zhu Zhi, will bite him to death, woof!"

Seeing Zhu Zhi's statement, the other princes stood up one by one to express their loyalty.

"The three guards and horses of Prince Qing's Mansion are also dispatched by the eldest nephew!"

"The army of my Prince Ning's Mansion also belongs to my eldest nephew..."

"And I, King Gu!"

"As long as my nephew can change me to a fief closer to the capital, I will do whatever you want me to do!"

After all, Zhu Gui was older and not as outspoken as his younger brothers, but he still raised his glass and toasted his eldest nephew.

"Nephew, there is no need to talk about our relationship, everything is in the wine... sour plum soup!"

Seeing that all the princes had expressed their views, Zhu Xi also stood up shyly.

"Nephew, as long as there is no such thing as treason, I will dispatch the army of Su Wangfu at your disposal!"

Lao Zhu, who was standing at the door and eavesdropped, heard that the rebels in the room had formed a rebel group headed by Zhu Yunxi, and he was so angry that he cursed his mother.

If he didn't want to hear the response from Ni Sun, he would have rushed in and kicked over the tables of these guys!

Qin Deshun was sweating all over his face when he heard it. He thought that the princes and grandsons were just eating and drinking, and then said a few auspicious words, but he never thought that they would talk about rebellion!
Zhu Yunxi was very moved when he heard a group of uncles confide in their hearts.He got up and picked up a cup full of sour plum soup, respected everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"My eldest nephew appreciates the love and care of all the uncles!"

"However, we can't do things that are rebellious and immoral. We will be the virtuous king of Ming Dynasty and contribute to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty!"

When Lao Zhu heard Ni Sun's words, his anger immediately subsided a lot. He felt that the kid was just messing around, but he still had a heart of loyalty and respect.

However, what Zhu Yunxi said next directly ignited the anger in his heart.

"Furthermore, even if we have any thoughts, we can't express them now. At least we have to wait until Grandpa Huang is gone. Otherwise, as soon as there is some movement on our side, the old man will come up with a whip. Who can stand it?" Hold on, hahaha..."

Zhu Gui also laughed when he heard the words, and joked while pointing at Zhu Yunxi.

"I don't know about others, but you must be able to withstand it. You have an iron ass, and even the imperial doctors praised your talent, hahaha..."

"Brother Thirteen is right, the eldest nephew is the most vulnerable, and in a few years, Grandpa Huang will not be able to touch him!"

Zhu Yunxie said modestly after listening to the praises from all the princes.

"Where is it? In fact, this king also hurts a lot after being whipped. It's just that my body is stronger and my perseverance is stronger. I can hold back crying..."

"Come on, let's continue."

"Whose turn is it to talk about ideals?"

"I!"

Zhu Zhi immediately raised his hand and said.

"My biggest ideal is to eat, drink and have fun, and be a happy prince!"

Hearing the words, Zhu Yunxi gave him a blank look and said.

"Change your ideal, your ideal collided with me!"

"Uncle Fourteen, what do you think?"

Zhu Yu smiled shyly when he heard the words.

"Uncle Fourteen doesn't have any hobbies. He usually just likes to read story books. If one day he has the power in his hands, he would most like to kill those broken dogs, hahaha!"

Zhu Yunxie coughed in embarrassment when he heard the words. He was the one who introduced Daming to "broken chapters". Now it has been vigorously promoted by Sanwei Bookstore, and all the scriptures are sold in separate volumes.

It is said that this move is very popular among scholars, and every day when Sanwei Bookstore opens, a basket of blades can be removed from the door panel.

"Where's Uncle Thirteen?"

Zhu Gui shrugged helplessly when he heard the words, with an indifferent expression on his face.

"I don't have any ideals. I just want to get married as soon as possible, and then lead my wife to a fief to build a beautiful palace, and live my own life well, hehehe..."

Zhu Gui's ideal immediately aroused booing, and everyone laughed at this guy's love brain.

When Lao Zhu heard this, he finally showed a relieved expression on his face.

The princes and grandchildren of Daming finally maintained a sense of simplicity, everyone's ideals were not too much, and some were even more remarkable.

Only Xiao Nisun is a bit too much, dare to say that he will rebel when we are gone, it is really a shame!
Originally Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to leave quietly when he heard this, but Zhu Gui's next words hooked him all of a sudden.

"Nephew, we all talked about our ideals, but you haven't said what ideals you have?"

When the other princes and grandchildren heard this, they booed one after another.

"Yes!"

"All of us have said that you, a junior, can't take advantage of us!"

"Say it!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the noise of the crowd, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"its me……"
