Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 207 Conversation with Emperor Hongwu Again
In front of the gate of Wei Guogong Xu's mansion, Zhu Zhen looked at Xu Da helplessly.

Xu Da also looked at Zhu Zhen with a gloomy face.

"What's going on with you kid? You said you won't marry my daughter, and you came to find her again. What do you want to do?" Xu Da endured his anger. If the man in front of him hadn't been Zhu Yuanzhang's son, he would have beaten him out with a stick. .

Good boy, just steal the house, right?

He actually took advantage of his opportunity to go to court and ran to find Miaojin.

Huizu was also a bastard, and he actually let them chat in the yard alone?
So what if there are maids and guards?

If this spreads out, will Miaojin's reputation be lost?
He doesn’t want to marry yet, why would he still flirt with her?This bastard.

"So I don't want to come here to discuss with Sister Xu how to make my father give up his thoughts," Zhu Ming said.

He finally remembered that he had originally planned this.

In the end, he ended up telling Xu Miaojin the eight martial arts novels of Tianlong and roasting sweet potatoes and corn for her.

Xu Da sneered: "Do you think I am so virtuous and capable that I dare to go to His Majesty to break the contract?"

"Uncle Xu, the marriage hasn't been decided yet," Zhu Ming reminded Xu Da, don't talk nonsense. What's breaking the contract? Where is the marriage contract?

Xu Da flicked his sleeves: "Gungungun, don't be an eyesore here. Also, don't come here from the gate of Xu Mansion. You are not welcome in my home."

"Hey," Zhu Zhen was so angry. He is a noble vassal king, but he is so unpopular in your Xu family?

As a result, Lao Xu turned around and went in more simply, and even asked someone to close the door tightly.

Xu Da's voice came from the door, saying: "Listen, everyone. From now on, when the King of Dian comes to visit, you are not allowed to open the door to him. He is the vassal king and I am the Duke of the country. We should avoid each other. How can we? Walking around in private? It would be bad if His Majesty misunderstood something."

He had already said so, what else could Zhu Ming say.

Helpless Zhu Xi could only turn around and leave.

As a result, as soon as he came out of Xu Mansion, he saw a group of young eunuchs coming straight towards him.

"Hey, my lord, your majesty is waiting for you in the palace," the young eunuchs immediately rushed over.

Zhu Chu has already gone to the morning court today and entered the palace yesterday, so many eunuchs have already seen him and know him.

Zhu Zhen was shocked. Was he robbing someone on the street?He quickly warned: "Don't touch me. I will leave on my own. What else is my father waiting for me to do?"

He wanted to say, Lao Zhu is definitely not doing anything good for him, why should he fuck with me when he has nothing to do?Want to whip me again?

But what can he do?He didn't just have to follow me obediently to the palace.

In the Xu Mansion, Xu Da was still angry after driving away Zhu Zhen.

How dare that boy dislike such a precious daughter?

He even despised his own daughter for the sake of a Tujia daughter. What the hell.

If he is not His Majesty's child, then you are not worthy even if your ancestors have been doing good deeds for eighteen generations.

Xu Da was thinking as he came to Xu Miaojin's courtyard.

But as soon as he came in, he saw Xu Miaojin sitting there, gritting his teeth, his face full of resentment and anger.

Xu Miaojin's skin was originally fair, but now it was even more pale, with a vein jumping on her forehead.

"He doesn't plan to marry me? He actually looks down on me? Then what is he doing here today?" Xu Miaojin snorted angrily.

Xu Da nodded secretly, she was indeed his daughter, her character was exactly the same as his.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Xu Da stepped in and said to Xu Miaojin: "Daughter, don't worry, we are already old and we are not afraid of death. Since the Zhu family kid has treated you so badly, I will go to see your majesty in the future, even if I risk my life I don’t want this old life anymore, and I will definitely help you deny this marriage.”

"He still doesn't want you? Who is not worthy of my daughter?"

Xu Da gets very angry whenever he thinks of Zhu Ming.

What's more, Xu Miaojin has a lot of resistance to this marriage, so she might as well take this opportunity to talk to His Majesty and not delay the two young people.

Without thinking, Xu Miaojin sneered: "Dad, don't worry about it. This is between him and me. Even if we reject this marriage, it will be up to me, Xu Miaojin, not him to dislike me."

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was strange.

"You mean to agree to the marriage contract first, and then break it?" Xu Da hesitated. He could ask His Majesty to withdraw the marriage offer, but if you had already accepted the marriage offer and then broke the contract, that would be the crime of deceiving the emperor. ah.

Good guy, did you bully Zhu Yuanzhang and Hongwu the Great?Is it okay?
Do you think there are too many people in your family and want to reduce the number?
That's not how it was reduced. Everyone was killed.

"Dad, please tell me why he doesn't want to marry me. I want to know the reason," Xu Miaojin looked at her father seriously.

Xu Da sighed and slowly told the reason he knew.

Nothing more than Zhu Ming met a Tujia woman named Mu Qiu in Yunnan, and wanted to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for a decree to get them married.

"I'm not angry for anything else. The main thing is that this boy wanted to reject His Majesty's decree of marriage in the morning court in front of all the civil and military officials. He completely ignored your face. He wanted you to be the leader of the whole city. , and even the laughingstock of the whole world."

When Xu Da talked about this, his anger level rose: "Why is my daughter not worthy of him? Why should she be so disliked by him? If he dares to come again, I will beat him out."

Xu Miaojin bit her lip, and for some reason, her eyes became hot, and a teardrop rolled down without warning.

And there was only one drop, slipping from the corner of the right eye.

Xu Da was dumbfounded. No matter how rough he was, he still had three wives. He couldn't help but said: "My child, what are you doing?"

Xu Miaojin did not panic, wiped away her tears, and said openly: "I escaped from marriage before and almost starved to death on the streets of Hongdu, and then I met him by chance. At that time, my daughter didn't have a penny in her hands, and it was difficult to move. Not only did he lend me money, he also took care of me all the way back home.”

"I don't know why, but I started to have random thoughts along the way, thinking that it would be great if he was my fiancé. At that time, he also changed his name and surname, saying that his name was Wooden Whip. It turned out that his name was already hidden in his name. I didn’t guess that.”

"Later, when we entered the city, we encountered Li Jinglong's group of bad boys who were acting arrogant. In order to teach Li Jinglong a lesson, he revealed his identity. At that time, my daughter's mind was completely confused."

"I know it's not a liking, it's just some good feelings, plus I unconsciously thought about it along the way, thinking that if he was Zhu Chu, he might really be my daughter's ideal husband. But after knowing that he was really Zhu Chu, my daughter began to feel, That’s really good.”

"Being your daughter, others think it is very beautiful. But my daughter knows that you are the Duke of Wei, and now you are regarded as the first meritorious figure in the founding of the country. But the more you are like this, the more miserable you are. We sisters, we can't even think about it. You can’t even choose your ideal husband.”

"Girls from ordinary families still need to be ordered by their parents to find a matchmaker. Don't we have to think about our own identity? My daughter just thinks that at least this is not a compromise."

Xu Miaojin is actually very smart. She is as smart as ice and snow. She knew from the beginning that although she was born into a noble family, she was also shackled by it.

It is this kind of background that limits her freedom and even her happiness.

Her father was the Duke of Wei, the first hero of the founding of the country, and he and Zhu Yuanzhang were good brothers.

The problem is, his father has already been granted no title, should he give it to a king with a different surname?
That is absolutely impossible. In the Ming Dynasty, there were only kings with different surnames who were granted titles after death, and there would never be any living kings with different surnames.

So what to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang's method is simple and crude. If this is the case, then I will give you my four sons.

It is said that the son of the old Zhu family married the daughter of the old Xu family, but in fact?It is Xu Da's honor to be married to His Majesty.

Moreover, these are all high-ranking princes, not the kind of princes who ascended the throne and were demoted in the Qing Dynasty. These are all kings with iron hats.

On the premise of not considering Jianwen and cutting down the vassal vassal, as long as they make no mistakes, the princes of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons will all be hereditary and replaceable.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang could not give Xu Da the title of king during his lifetime, as long as all four of his daughters became princesses, it would be equivalent to giving away four royal titles for free.

What's more, given the status of their Xu family, Xu Miaojin knew very well who they could marry with?

The four sisters can really only marry the princes of the old Zhu family.

Xu Miaojin saw the problem very clearly, but when he thought that even the word 'general' was said by that bastard, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said harshly: "But if he thinks that I, Xu Miaojin, is easy to bully, then he is totally wrong. Wrong. Who doesn’t know His Majesty’s temper today? He can ruin the marriage if he wants to regret it?”

"She's just a Tujia woman, but my daughter doesn't take her seriously. But she has remembered this grudge."

Xu Da secretly wiped cold sweat.This little daughter is the most like him. She is just as stubborn and can go all the way to the dark side.

Ever since Xu Da followed Zhu Yuanzhang, he had never hesitated or had second thoughts. Even when Zhu Yuanzhang was in trouble, Xu Da never did what he wanted, only determined to die without regrets.

Xu Da understood that Xu Miaojin was completely at odds with Zhu Zhen, especially when he felt that Zhu Zhen despised him for a Tujia woman, which ignited Xu Miaojin's inner desire.

And this desire is Xu Miaojin's desire to win and lose to men.

I still remember that when Xu Miaojin was a child, her brothers laughed at her for accidentally falling off her first horse riding. As a result, she gritted her teeth and managed to pull off a fierce horse without complaining of pain even after being thrown countless times in one day. Conquered.

She is only 15 years old now, but in terms of marksmanship and martial arts, she is already invincible in the Xu family.

"Brother Zhu? Next time I want you to call me sister," Xu Miaojin clenched her fists, then slammed the table and got up angrily and went back to the house.

"Miss, there are also sweet potatoes and corn."

"If you don't want to eat, how can you have any appetite now," Xu Miaojin angrily yelled without looking back. She was almost mad, so she couldn't even think about eating.

But remembering that Zhu Zhen brought it to him from Yunnan, he couldn't help but pause and said, "Let the kitchen heat up in the evening before eating."

But she seemed to have misunderstood. Zhu Min didn't know who she was when he was in Yunnan. Of course, this was not brought to her specially.

But one thing that can be confirmed is that Xu Miaojin knows that their marriage is not theirs to decide.

And Xu Miaojin suddenly realized that she already had a crush on Zhu Zhen, the 'eldest brother'.

In this case, she will never give up easily, that is not her character.

Isn’t she just a mere native woman?

the other side.

Zhu Chu came to the palace again and went straight to the side hall yesterday.

Entering the hall, Zhu Min immediately saw Zhu Yuanzhang who was watching the memorial there. He couldn't help but sigh. As soon as he entered the door, he had to lift the hem of his robe and kneel down to say goodbye.

"Okay, hypocritical, since you are so reluctant, don't kneel down," Zhu Yuanzhang said without raising his head.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang's hearing is still so good despite his age.

Zhu Ming obeyed and straightened his legs immediately, stood there and said, "See my father."

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand and turned to look at Zhu Ming.

Although Zhu Yu had already taken off the obstructive python robe, he still stood there with a look of talent, which made Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod his head, he liked it very much.

"He is indeed our son," Zhu Yuanzhang even praised him bluntly. Especially when he thought of Zhu Ming's almost unachievable achievements, he felt that this boy was as heroic as himself.

Zhu Ming looked confused. Why did he call him here?Just to praise yourself?
Can he go back?
"How come you, Zi Wu Chao, were innocently absent?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Chu spread his hands and said: "Father, I am the vassal king. I have finished all my duties, so it has nothing to do with me."

"Bullshit," Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the bag and angrily said, "You can fool others, how can you fool me? Let me ask you, who else did you see in the Golden Tooth Guard, which is now Yongchang Mansion?"

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his mind suddenly changed and he thought of two people.

Fortunately, he has a photographic memory now, otherwise he would not know what Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about. He immediately said: "Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan. And Shen Rong, that guy is a business wizard and is now being used by me to help me handle many business matters." Business."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Zhang Sanfeng is also a strange man. We have been trying to recruit him into the palace for the past few years for my use. Unfortunately, he is hiding in Tibet without a trace. Instead, he ran to meet you. What's wrong? You are the one who is like this Ming Dynasty’s True Dragon Emperor?”

Zhu Chu was shocked. Did Lao Zhu know about the comments about five dragons sharing the same dynasty and two dragons sharing the same pearl?

Were there Jin Yiwei listening to Qiang Gen at that time?

No, no one should have heard this at the time.

So Zhu Ming said neither humble nor arrogantly: "It is true that Zhang Sanfeng wanted to accept Er Chen as his disciple, but Er Chen rejected him."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed noncommittally, and then said: "What about Shen Wansan? That guy worked hard for Zhang Shicheng. We didn't kill him. It's already good. You let him go freely?"

Look, Lao Zhu is so petty and all he does is settle scores.

Zhu Ming also began to frown, and gradually became impatient: "You either killed him, or he was already exiled. He deserves to be punished, so why do you care so much?"

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he sneered: "Good boy, your wings are so stiff that you actually contradicted me?"

Zhu Chu frowned and said without flinching: "You are the Hongwu Emperor. You can kill whoever you want. Why do you have to worry so much? Since you have not killed Shen Wansan before and have been exiled and punished, you still care about someone. What does a dying person do?"

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched and he suppressed a smile. Does this kid know how to be submissive?
"Are you really not afraid that I will slap you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ming said without any fear: "If you want to smoke, just smoke. It's like you didn't smoke yesterday."

Zhu Yuanzhang even twitched the corners of his eyes. This brat thought that he was old and frail, so it wouldn't hurt him if he even twitched, right?

He pointed at Zhu Li with his finger: "When you really annoy us one day, let's see how we deal with you. Instead of using the soles of our shoes, Jin Yiwei will whip you with a whip."

Zhu Zhen sneered secretly, if it really made a big fuss, he would have run away a long time ago. Are he really waiting for you to slap him?

I'm not stupid.

"There are still a lot of things. I'm just too lazy to argue with you. But don't think you can fool everyone. Zhu Ming, I asked you to come to the capital to report on your work this time. In addition to helping you get engaged with the daughter of the Xu family, I also I want to ask you face to face whether you can sincerely serve Zhu Yunwen." Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yun, watching the changes in his face, not wanting to miss the slightest movement of his expression.

Zhu Ming was stunned. He originally wanted to refuse his marriage to Xu Miaojin, but he was stunned at this time.

Work for Zhu Yunwen?

"No, father, what do you think?" Zhu Ming couldn't help but shouted subconsciously: "It's not whether I want to serve my eldest nephew, but whether my eldest nephew wants me to live is the real thing, right? What's your posture today? Can't you see? They are trying to kill me."

After saying this, Zhu Xi regretted it.

Isn't he a spoiler?After all, after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he began to reduce the vassal status during the Jianwen period.

But he didn't think so, but Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Are you going to cut down the vassal state? Alas."

"You know?" This time it was Zhu Zhen's turn to be surprised. Dad, tell the truth, are you also a time traveler?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Zhu Ming was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Why do you think Lan Yu died?"

The Sapphire case is now so talked about, who dares to mention it?

But Zhu Ming said indifferently: "Because he deserves to die."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed a smile and continued to ask: "Continue. Why should he die?"

Zhu Xinxin said, is this a test of himself?But what does this have to do with myself?But he still said: "His existence has threatened the stability of the country. Especially you."

Zhu Ming's heart moved and he raised his head to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change, he nodded and said: "Once I die, who can control him? And Biao'er also has Yun Wen, and the existence of that child has become Yun Wen's threat and weakness. Once Lan Yu Support Yunxi and drive Yunwen out of office. At that time, he can hold the emperor hostage and order the princes. My old Zhu family has become his puppets."

"Does he think he is Cao Cao? Or does he think our old Zhu family is as weak as Cao Wei?"

It was exactly what Cao Cao did to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes.

In the later period of Cao Wei, due to the decline in power, the Sima family became the dominant one. In the end, Sima usurped power and stole the final victory.

The heroes of the Three Kingdoms all came together to compete in the Central Plains. Who would have thought that in the end, it was the Sima family who was not prominent at first and established the Jin Dynasty.

And that Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, wasn't it because his relatives were too powerful and overpowered the imperial power?

Don't think that Zhu Yuanzhang started out as a farmer, and think that he will always be a farmer.

In fact, his vision is very long-term.

He is the Hongwu Emperor.
