Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 71 Who is Cao Wei?

In full view of everyone, Zhu Di stood up, raised his wine glass and said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"My son is here to wish my father the sun and the moon to be bright, and the blessings are as deep as the sea."

After speaking, Zhu Di took out a jade wishful handle.

"My son thought about it and didn't know what to offer to my father to celebrate his birthday, so I chose a piece of good Dushan jade and made it into a wish-fulfilling offering to my father. I wish my father everything goes well."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes.

Zhu Di's gift was simpler and less utilitarian than that of Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan.

Dushan Jade is one of the four famous jades, and it can be said that one jade is hard to find.

But that is for ordinary people, but it is common for the royal family.

On the contrary, Zhu Yu's Liulizhan and Zhu Fang's Ye Mingzhu took up a strange word, which shows that they have put a lot of thought into it.

This also allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to see from the side that Zhu Di's attitude at this time was completely different from when he first came to Yingtian, and it seemed that he had really let go of his attachment to the throne.

According to common sense, as King Zhu Di Yan, there must be no shortage of weird treasures in his hands, but he only took out a mediocre jade Ruyi.

The meaning of this, only three or two people can understand...

This is a good thing for Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Di is undisputed at this time, so he can worry less. In the future, he will only focus on Cao Ying and let him take over the Ming Dynasty.

However, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, others did not know the inside story.

"Fourth brother, it's not the second brother who said you, how can you be so stingy on the father's birthday?" Zhu Xi said in a tone that seemed to be joking, but was actually a little serious.

If he didn't say this, no one would think anything of it, but if he said it like this, it really seemed that Zhu Di didn't care enough.

Zhu Xi was a little cautious. In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, the gap between himself and Zhu Di became apparent between the holding and pulling.

Zhu Di looked at him and said, "Compared to my second brother, I am naturally far behind. I can only hope that my father will not take offense."

Zhu Xiang grinned again, "What did the fourth brother say? What kind of treasure does the father have in his hand? Today we are just adding a little bit of luck. I just said what I said casually. How can the father blame you?"

Without leaving a trace, Zhu Xi rounded off his words again, making it impossible to find any fault. However, with the previous two sentences, everyone would still feel that Zhu Di did not do a good job this time.

Zhu Di didn't speak this time, just smiled and said nothing.

"Okay, we are not short of food or clothing. If we collect these things from you, we will just put them aside to eat dust. Why bother about these?" Zhu Yuanzhang finally spoke and ended the topic.

After Zhu Di took his seat, the other vassal kings, ministers, and Zhu Yunwen's imperial grandsons presented gifts to Zhu Yuanzhang one by one.

Most of the gifts sent by officials were not as valuable as those of the vassals. The officials of the Ming Dynasty... knew all about it, and they were all very poor.

The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi saw that he had been prepared for a long time, and he took out a hand-copied "Amitabha Sutra".

"Grandfather, this is the "Amitabha Sutra" transcribed by my grandson. I want to use this to pray for the blessing and disaster relief of my grandpa."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

It took a lot of effort to copy this scripture, and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel moved.

Whether it's Zhu Xi, Zhu Yunqi, or maybe others, their actions are purposeful, and Zhu Yuanzhang also knows what they are thinking.

But today is Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday, and he doesn't want to think about those messy things that will ruin his mood.

After a round, only Yan Zhenzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was left who hadn't offered a gift yet.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a high-ranking official in the court, so he shouldn't have waited until now. At this time, someone has noticed him, secretly thinking that there is some serious work hidden in the bottom of the box.

Yan Zhenzhi knew that he couldn't avoid what was coming. After gritting his teeth, he stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I have something to offer to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not be surprised."

Yan Zhen didn't know whether Cao Wei's presbyopic glasses were reliable or not, so he simply said ugly things first.

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him, a little confused.

"What is it? Bring it up and let's have a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang still knew Yan Zhenzhi's character and would not make any mistakes without aim. Hearing what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang did feel a little curious.

"promise!"

Yan Zhenzhi responded, took out a wrapped brocade handkerchief from his arms, and walked slowly to the center of the hall.

Upon seeing this, the chief eunuch stepped forward to take the brocade handkerchief and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the brocade handkerchief, and the objects inside were exposed.

"Yan Aiqing, what is this?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked while holding his glasses.

"Return to Your Majesty, this item is called glasses, and after wearing it, people can see more clearly." Yan Zhen responded with cupped hands.

"How... do you use this?" Zhu Yuanzhang had never seen reading glasses before, and he turned over and over again, not knowing how to wear them as Yan Zhenzhi said.

Yan Zhen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please let me come forward."

Cao Wei once taught him how to use this pair of glasses.

After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, Yan Zhen went straight up the steps and came to Zhu Yuanzhang, took the glasses from his hand, put them on for him, and then took two steps back.

"Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Yan Zhenzhi asked cautiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang blinked and looked at him through the lenses. He was surprised to find that his vision had become extremely clear, and even the goatee on Yan Zhenzhi's face was clearly visible!
This wonderful feeling was like being rejuvenated, making Zhu Yuanzhang feel as if he was ten years younger all of a sudden!
Looking at the other people in the hall, the many faces that were originally blurry became clearer.

It's been a long time since he saw it so clearly...

"We can see clearly!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little excited, and he kept rolling his eyes to look around, "These glasses are really a good thing! Yan Aiqing, where did you get these glasses?"

Yan Zhenzhi breathed a sigh of relief, finally Cao Wei was reliable at the critical moment.

Everyone in the audience was shocked and unbelievable when they saw this scene!

So many princes gave away a lot of treasures, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not so excited. Are these little glasses really so magical?

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen got these glasses from Cao Wei. He has always remembered His Majesty's birthday, so he specially made these glasses as a gift to His Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally remembered that Cao Wei asked him for two glazed lamps.

Most of these glasses are polished with glass cups.

Nodding, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "He is serious."

As soon as Cao Wei's name came out, it immediately attracted the attention of some people.

Needless to say, the officials who have been in Yingtian have heard the name Cao Wei more or less. After all, the huge Kongming lantern of the Ministry of Industry is really eye-catching!

however,
Except for some of the vassal princes and princes with different surnames who came to Yingtian specially to celebrate Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday, most of them had heard of Cao Wei for the first time.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang could smile and say something like "He's serious about it", everyone immediately became curious about the Cao Wei that Yan Zhenzhi said.

Who is this Cao Wei...?
