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

Chapter 304 Lao Zhu, you can’t afford it?

In the yard of the Xu family, as soon as Zhu Ming came in, he saw people all over the yard looking at him.

"Hey, are you all there?" Zhu Zhen greeted guiltily.

"This is our Xu family. If we are not in our own home, where else could we be?" Xu Huizu complained angrily behind him.

Is this His Highness stupid?

Zhu Ming knew that Xu Huizu was quite hostile to him, mainly because he had strong opinions. Why did he dislike other girls so much in the first place?

This is what he deserves.

"What were you shouting outside before?" Xu Da looked at Zhu Ming and twitched at the corner of his eyes. This guy is really stupid. When did he become his father-in-law?

No, have you passed your father's test?

You have the final say in your marriage, right? That doesn't count.

Even if the daughter of his Xu family has to be given to Lao Zhu's family, she must be his legitimate wife. It's not okay for you to kidnap her without any reason.

"Hey, isn't this just a shout out? Not to mention the friendship between our two families, and my sister and I are childhood sweethearts. Isn't it a matter of time, sooner or later?" Zhu Ming said while calling Xu Miaojin who was hiding in the corner. He winked.

The three brothers of the Xu family are quitting.

"This is my sister, the daughter of our Xu family, the sister of our three brothers. Didn't you just kidnap the person and take her name away?" Xu Yingxu was the most impulsive and had a quick temper. Just say whatever you want, just your opinion on Boss Zhu.

Xu Zengshou couldn't help but complain: "When did you two become childhood sweethearts?"

As for the twelve years Zhu Chu was in the palace, he was completely transparent. He didn't even kiss his own brothers. When did he become childhood sweethearts with the youngest daughter of their old Xu family?

No, if you two knew each other before, you wouldn't have been unable to recognize each other on the streets of Hongdu, right?

Zhu Ming simply opened his mouth and came.

"Okay, brother, what are you doing? He is also a prince after all, not to mention our father's savior, so you have to be polite." Xu Miaozhen saw that her sister was anxious all the time and was embarrassed to speak to her husband, so she smiled Stand up for her.

Zhu Xinxin said, if you don't say that I am the prince, I will forget it myself.

Can't you see such a conspicuous python robe?

It's a pity that the Xu family really doesn't care about this. What is the relationship between the old Xu family and the old Zhu family? I don’t respect you anymore, what can you do?

"Our eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, and third sister's fiancé, aren't they all princes?" Xu Yingxu curled his lips, what is a prince? They have four daughters, all of them are princesses, prince? Seen too many.

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes, what else could he say.

Just when the Xu family was joking and teasing Zhu Xi, there was a knock on the door of the mansion, and a hurried voice was heard outside the door: "Is His Royal Highness the King of Dian at the mansion?"

"Could it be that Fang Xiaoru was mad at me?" Zhu Ming was startled. If Fang Xiaoru died like this, it would still be a bit troublesome.

If he wanted to kill Fang Xiaoru again, he would have to do it for the sake of his teacher.

Fortunately, a voice came from outside again: "There is a decree in the palace, and it is said that the Dian King will come to the palace to meet the saint. The carriage is waiting outside."

Zhu Yuanzhang’s summons? They even sent a carriage?

"Why are you letting me into the palace in the middle of the night?" Zhu Zhen complained.

As a result, a lot of eyes were staring at him. Emperor Hongwu asked you to go see him. How dare you complain?

"But I still have to check Uncle Xu's condition here," Zhu Zhen said and was about to walk towards Xu Da.

Xu Dazhi waved his hand: "Send me back to the house, I don't have to call him over. Don't use me to make excuses, just go to the palace and wait to be scolded."

Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang must have received the news when he was so anxious to call Zhu Zhen into the palace.

You Zhu Ming shouted so loudly outside before, and you have scolded and said your words. It is time for Emperor Hongwu to scold you.

You said you were fine, why did you use your father to complain about it?

Xu Dacai didn't want to get involved, so he waved and took away the whole family, leaving Xu Miaojin alone. Zhu Ming was worried and came over and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't really want to teach you a lesson, does he?"

"How could that be?" Zhu Xi comforted with a smile: "After all, we are father and son. Good girl, I really want to take you home, and I don't want to be separated from you for a moment."

Xu Miaojin's eyes turned red, and she was suddenly so sad that she almost shed tears.

Obviously Xu Mansion is her home, but looking at the husband in front of her, her heart drifts away with him. The only place where he is is home.

"It's really better to stay in the grassland," Xu Miaojin lowered his head and whispered.

There, they didn't have to worry about worldly opinions, and no one dared to question their relationship. They simply lived a married life in the tent.

Xu Miaojin even learned how to roast a whole lamb for Zhu Chu. Originally, she wanted to try roasting a whole cow or even a horse.

I heard that Mongolia used to have a way to get camels for a try, but it was only later that the Mongol Empire fell apart and the way was lost.

Looking back now, even if the environment was really bad at the time, happiness was really happiness.

If Zhu Chun hadn't used the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic to control them, they might have had children this year.

"Don't worry, I will try to get my father to issue an imperial edict as soon as possible and help us arrange the marriage," Zhu Ming comforted.

Only then did Xu Miaojin turn from worry to joy, and then thought of something and said: "But you can't favor one against the other. It is only fair to ask for an imperial edict for Sister Mu. What's more, you didn't want me for her sake at the beginning. She will enter first, and we will meet later. I have to call her sister."

Xu Miaojin was taking the initiative to show her kindness.

Zhu Ming was immediately moved. He took his beloved wife's little hand with his left hand and raised his right hand to caress her cheek.

But suddenly, a light cough came: "Ahem, it's almost done, the palace people outside the door are still waiting."

The young couple quickly separated.

Xu Miaojin turned around with a flushed face, stamped her feet, and said coquettishly: "Mother."

Jia rolled her eyes, do you still know my mother? I've been standing here for so long, do you really think I'm not here?

Also, does this boy really dare to show off His Majesty’s people? You are really not afraid of death, but we are.

"Auntie, then I will go to the palace first, and then I will show Uncle Xu the situation when I come back," Zhu Ming said.

Jia Shi smiled, thinking you meant it, but said: "Don't bother, he didn't dare to go to the ground all day today, so it should be fine. At most, you can come back after tomorrow morning."

"Do you still want to go to the morning court?" Zhu Zhen sighed.

Jia laughed and scolded: "You child, others want to go to the morning court and you are not qualified, but you are full of complaints. What's more, I heard that you started quarreling with others again this morning, and you didn't even have the chance to let His Majesty discuss your merits. Reward. You don’t care, but where are the soldiers under your command? There are also."

She wanted to continue teaching.

Zhu Chu, who was already two years old, quickly apologized: "I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll say goodbye."

He turned and ran away.

"This kid," Mrs. Jia suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and rolled her eyes at Xu Miaojin: "Don't look at it, everyone is gone."

Xu Miaojin still stared blankly in the direction Zhu Chu left for a long time without regaining consciousness.

After they spent so long together day and night on the grassland, they became increasingly inseparable from each other.

Let’s not mention the Xu Mansion, let’s look at Zhu Ming’s side.

As soon as he came out, several young eunuchs hurriedly stuffed him into the carriage.

"Wait a minute, I will get in on my own. Do you treat me as cargo?" Zhu Zhen cursed and got into the carriage indiscriminately.

Before he could sit firmly, the carriage quickly ran towards the palace.

Because of the sudden start, Zhu Zhen almost fell down.

But he was pretty good. Except for a young eunuch who was responsible for driving the carriage, the other eunuchs were running behind him.

The carriage quickly arrived in front of the palace gate. Before Zhu Chu could get off the carriage, he saw the Huangmen servant guarding the palace gate in person. He stepped forward and asked, "But has His Royal Highness the King of Dian been found?"

"Yes."

"Quick, quick, send it directly to the palace."

In the carriage, what did Zhu Xinxin think of me? A gift for Lao Zhu? Or are you afraid that you will run away?

Wait, something doesn’t seem right, why are you so anxious?

"Wait, what's going on?" Zhu Zhen reluctantly opened the curtain of the car window and asked outside: "What happened?"

He was really worried. Could there be some sudden change? Could it be that something happened to Lao Zhu's health? Or is it a palace incident plot?

The Huangmen servant was already old, and he had to follow the carriage at this time. When he heard Zhu Chu's question, he had to answer him breathlessly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that your Majesty suddenly felt itchy. Get ready." A few shoe soles, please be patient, Your Highness, and it will be over soon."

"What the hell? You're sending me home and you want to whip me? There's no way." Zhu Zhen was 'shocked'. So he was so eager to get him into the palace, but he was planning to whip him?

But seeing the familiar side hall right in front of him, it was too late for Zhu Chu to run away. Even Zhu Yuanzhang was so impatient that he was waiting outside the palace gate with a shoe sole in each hand.

When he saw the carriage approaching, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately showed a satisfied smile and waved his hands in the air to simulate a pumping motion.

The carriage stopped outside the courtyard gate of the side hall. Zhu Zhen was forced to get out because of the urging of Huangmen Shilang and several young eunuchs, otherwise they would all pull him away.

"My son, I see my father," Zhu Zhen held his fists in his hands and was about to salute Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him standing outside the courtyard gate and said with a smile: "My son is here, why are you standing so far away? Come closer and let us take a look."

Zhu Xinxin said, I'm not stupid, I won't go.

He shook his head and said: "If you have any instructions from your father, just say it, so that I can hear you."

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes twitched, he suppressed his laughter and pretended to be angry: "Come here, I'll offend you. What were you yelling about on the street before? Are you scared now? I'm going to beat you tonight." There’s no way to avoid it.”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even try to hide it, Zhu Zhen could only grit his teeth and walked into the courtyard gate.

As soon as he came in, the people outside even sealed the courtyard door. At this time, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Chu's father and son were left in the courtyard.

Huangmen Shilang also said to the left and right: "No matter how miserable His Highness screams, you are not allowed to go in. Do you hear me?"

Zhu Ming wanted to say, I heard you clearly, did you do it on purpose?

"Your Majesty, my dear father," Zhu Ming racked his brains to find something nice to say as soon as he came in.

But Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "You have already said it for me, and you still ask me?"

"Ah?" Zhu Zhen was stunned. Isn't this how TV dramas are played?

There is indeed such a saying, but he should say "Blessings to the Emperor", which means to pray for the emperor's good health, or "Blessings to the Emperor", which also means blessings.

If a minister said this to the emperor, the emperor would also politely say "I'm in peace" or "I'm in peace".

The bow here refers to the body.

If it is an imperial envoy from the imperial censor, because of the blessing of "I am here in person", the minister is equivalent to praying for the emperor.

At this time, the Imperial Envoy would say "Sheng Gong'an" on behalf of the emperor, which meant that the emperor was in good health.

You said the emperor is healthy, but you still ask?

It's like there is no mystery, the answer has been revealed.

Let's just say that Zhu Chu usually hated those annoying rites and rituals. As his memory got better and better, he had the blessing of a photographic memory and began to make up many historical documents and allusions.

He even talked about the allusions of Cheng Tang and Yao, Shun, and Yu in a clear and logical manner, which shows that he has indeed grown up in recent years.

Otherwise, how could Fang Xiaoru be rendered speechless? Almost choked to death?

It also shows that he still knows some Confucian allusions, otherwise he would not know that Confucius and Mencius admired Yao, Shun, and Yu the most among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Far away.

Zhu Yuanzhang held up the soles of his shoes and waved to Zhu Chu: "Come here, why are you standing so far away? We, father and son, have a good time making out."

Zhu Zhen smiled, do you think I am a three-year-old child? Instead of moving forward, I want to go back.

But behind him was the courtyard gate, and he had no way to retreat.

So Zhu Yuanzhang rushed over.

Zhu Zhen was not stupid, he turned around and ran to the other side.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look, good boy, do you still dare to run?

I saw the father and son starting to circle around the yard, like a loving father and a filial son.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was old after all, began to pant and cursed: "Your wings are so hard that I can't even hit you, right? Are you just looking forward to my death?"

"No, you still bring someone who can't afford it?" Zhu Zhen was speechless. The great Emperor Hongwu, can't you afford it?

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

"Okay, okay, you go ahead and beat me to death," Zhu Zhen held his head, turned around and squatted there, and finally stopped walking his father.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him as if he was rebellious, but even though he was full of resentment, he still obeyed and walked over with smiles in his eyes.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really get angry at first glance, otherwise why would he use shoe soles? Still playing hide-and-seek with him in the yard? How old is Emperor Hongwu?

So Zhu Yuanzhang just symbolically patted Zhu Chu's back with the soft sole of his shoe, and then threw away the sole. He turned to press Zhu Chu's head with his hand, rubbed it, and said warmly: "Prince General Xiang Ning is kind, right? My dear, anyone can say this slogan, why did it come from your mouth? Can you describe it to us, what are you thinking in your mind? You are not afraid of the people in the world. Are you going to rise up?"

God knows, when Zhu Yuanzhang got the news from the secret whistle of Jin Yiwei, he almost ran out of breath and vomited blood.

Do you have the guts to call me Prince, General, Xiang Ning for the country that I worked so hard to conquer? Doesn’t this encourage people all over the world to rebel like me?

If it really gets out of hand, will there be peace in this world?

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang himself started out as a rebel, and he was not very aboveboard along the way, otherwise the affairs of King Xiao Ming would not be explained clearly.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the importance of national stability.

Today he can overthrow others, but others may not be able to overthrow him in the future.

What a simple and honest truth.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly called Zhu Chu in. He was not really angry that Zhu Chu used himself as an example, but he was worried that he had to be prepared on both sides, and even asked Zhu Chu to patrol the world to test the attitude of the people in the world.

If you are made emperor, it will not work if you imitate Qin II and destroy all the power of the old Zhu family within two generations.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer ready to take action, Zhu Xi stood up and patted the dust-free hem.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with black eyes, ignoring him and thinking about himself, and wanted to slap him, but at some point, this kid was taller than him, and even so strong.

"I didn't shout this sentence," Zhu Zhen finally spoke.

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was distracted and did not react.

Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang speechlessly, and had to say again: "I said this sentence about princes, generals and ministers. It was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang who first shouted it out. But did Chen Sheng and Wu Guang finally become the emperor? No, it was Xiang Yu who destroyed the Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty. Xiang Yu is considered to be from a noble family, right? Liu Bang’s natal family and his subordinates were all helped by noble families."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Actually, that slogan is there. Anyone who has read the book doesn't know it?" Zhu Ming shrugged, looking unconcerned.

"But the people don't know," Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his eyes. He himself was born among the people. How could he not know that the policies implemented by all dynasties since ancient times were actually policies that obscured the people.

To educate the world? Education without distinction?

Those are just slogans and things done by saints. The reason why saints are saints is because they are holy acts that others cannot achieve.

In reality? Since ancient times, no matter at home or abroad, feudal society has always pursued a policy of obscuring the people.

Ordinary people don't even have the opportunity to read and write, not to mention that many books are secretly collected by aristocratic families, making it difficult for others to access them.

Why is the Yongle Dadian said to be a very important document or even a treasure?

It is because the Yongle Dadian is an encyclopedia, which compiles many documents that were previously exclusive to aristocratic families and makes them available for the world to read.

So the people really don’t know this slogan, and they don’t even understand its meaning.

Zhu Ming smiled: "But dad, since ancient times, how many people have been as wise and powerful as you, who were really born as farmers, and finally sat on the throne and established a dynasty that belongs to you?"

Emperor Hongwu was the first peasant emperor since ancient times. Liu Bang also had an official position, and at least he was literate, not to mention the emperors of other dynasties.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. Does this guy know how to flatter himself to make him happy? I thought he would only make himself angry, and he would definitely make himself angry to death.

"Actually, what we should really worry about is never the people. All the people need is food and clothing. They are the ones who want peace and prosperity most. As for the peasant uprisings and rebellions in the past, they are not always deceived and instigated by people. Of?"

"Not to mention the so-called Taiping Dao behind the Yellow Turban Uprising, the phrase 'Heaven is dead, Huang Tian should stand, and the world will be prosperous at the age of sixty years', which suddenly broke out the turmoil in the late Eastern Han Dynasty."

"Dad, we, father and son, don't talk to outsiders. Wasn't the Red Scarf Army you joined originally also bewitched by the White Lotus Sect?"

"Actually, sometimes, those cults are the ones that need to be focused on."

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved when he heard Zhu Ming's words: "You seem to have something in your words?"
