Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 64 It’s a matter of course (additional update during Spring Festival)
In the outer court, it is actually almost the same.

In fact, this kind of banquet given by the palace is generally ceremonial and does not really involve eating and drinking, just like the Liangshan heroes.

Congratulations to King Yan, congratulations to Zhu Yuanzhang for your flattery. After saying a lot of flattery, it’s actually almost the same.

At this time, Li Shanchang glanced at his son next to him, and then at his younger brother Li Cunyi, the Prime Minister of Taipu Temple.Li Cunyi happened to look at him, and the two looked at each other, understanding each other.

Therefore, Li Cunyi reported to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Now that King Yan is getting married, a good story has been achieved; and the eldest princess is about to get married. I believe there will be another happy event soon. Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"

Generally speaking, these words are part of celebrations and are not unexpected. They are a sign of good things.

Therefore, when other civil servants and generals heard this, they congratulated Emperor Hongwu one after another, and the atmosphere became lively again.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, how could he not know what drama he was going to play next?
If there was no such thing as Ye Boju, after hearing this, he would usually smile and ask Li Shanchang directly, I heard that your son is short of a daughter-in-law, shall we become in-laws?After Li Shanchang heard this, he immediately stepped forward to thank him. After the process was completed, the marriage was decided.

However, Ye Boju's memorial made Zhu Yuanzhang very dissatisfied with Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others. Coupled with Zhu Jingjing's objections, he wanted to disgust Li Shanchang. Although the marriage would eventually be consummated, he still had to beat him. Give him a try.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that he sent someone to tell the country boy in the name of King Yan to disgust Li Shanchang.

When he thought about this, he noticed that his son was here, so why did that country boy get here?
This was because Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to be shameless. He did not directly convey the order to Zhang Yifan, but used Zhu Di's name. He just didn't want Li Shanchang to know that he did this on purpose.

Of course, the most important factor is still on Zhu Yuanzhang's side. After all, politics is the most important thing. It disgusts Li Shanchang, and he gave the order in anger.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Di. After realizing that there was something wrong, he didn't care anymore. After all, he was in a good mood at this time.

However, he didn't ask Li Shanchang as a matter of course. He just laughed and enjoyed the flattery, waiting for Li Shanchang to come out and propose marriage.

Yang Wenyu of Yushitai is Li Shanchang's good friend for many years. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't follow the routine, after waiting for a while, he couldn't help but said: "The prince of Korea is young and talented, and now he is even more unmarried. . I recommend him to Your Majesty as a good son-in-law!"

Although Li Qi, who is already in his forties, is already a county official, the term "young and promising" cannot be used about him. Anyway, ordinary thin-skinned people cannot say it.

No, Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and looked at Li Qi, who was sitting next to Li Shanchang. He was only seven or eight years younger than him, and he felt a little annoyed: Is this considered young?She is more than twice as old as my daughter!
I felt a little disgusted in my heart, but since the atmosphere had reached a certain point, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a man who could take things and let them go, so he was ready to go with the flow.

As a result, at this time, the eunuch sent by Queen Ma from the harem arrived, approached Zhu Yuanzhang and whispered what happened in the harem.

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang had a headache!
This daughter is really worried!
After making such a fuss in the harem, if she decides on this marriage, will she admit that the Zhu family has been bullied?
Although Zhu Jingjing said in the harem that she would marry whatever could best help her father, Zhu Yuanzhang knew with his toes that the person his daughter was talking about would definitely not be Li Shanchang's son Li Qi. , but that country boy!

So the question is, how capable is that country boy that he can actually win in a competition between Ming Dynasty talents?

My daughter is so sure, so how can a country boy be so powerful?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had an idea in his mind, maybe he should meet this country boy who fascinated his daughter?Thinking of this, he looked at his eldest son, then at his fourth son, and then thought: If the country boy can finally get the support of his son, shouldn't he really despise him before?
Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it, and Li Shanchang was waiting for him to ask for the marriage. After waiting for a long time, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a daze, and he was a little dissatisfied: he said it all, To still act like this is obviously a loss of face for him!

Li Qi also waited happily, but the result was that before the emperor nodded, he suddenly became a little anxious and quickly looked at his father to see what his father's opinion was. Don't let the country boy steal his love and kill the princess. Taken away?

Li Shanchang naturally saw his son's expression, but he could bear it and did nothing.

When Li Qi saw that he was not as rich as his father, he couldn't help it and immediately told Emperor Hongwu: "Your Majesty, I have admired the eldest princess for a long time. Please grant me your permission!"

Once you say this, it is very straightforward!

In fact, everyone knows this matter.Therefore, after Li Qi said this, the others stopped talking and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting for him to nod in agreement.

King Yan Zhu Di, who was one of the parties involved in the banquet, couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this scene: That Zhang Yifan didn't dare to come after all. Since the Li family has already spoken, according to the father's temper, shouldn't he? There might be another surprise.

As for the prince Zhu Biao, it was even more calm, because Zhu Yuanzhang had explained to him in detail Zhu Jingjing's marriage. It would be best for the royal family to marry into the Li family.

At this time, everyone's eyes in the hall were focused on Emperor Hongwu, waiting for him to nod in agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang had also come back to his senses. He looked at Li Qi who looked expectant, and after glancing at Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, he was ready to nod in agreement.

Although Zhu Jingjing was making trouble in the harem, once the outer court made a decision, no one else could change it.

This marriage really made Jing Jing feel wronged, but she had to do this for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

After making a decision in his heart, he said: "I..."

As a result, what Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect was that at this moment, there was movement outside, interrupting his speech.

"Dong dong dong..."

The rapid sound of drums entered the hall. Although it sounded far away, you could definitely hear the sound of drums.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Who is beating the drum?"

It's definitely not a good thing to beat the drum, but today is his fourth son's big day. As a father, of course he is not happy.
