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

Chapter 426: I am the emperor, who is in favor and who is against?
Near noon, the Huangmen Shilang who was serving Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to Concubine Zhou and invited brothers Zhu Chu and Zhu Song away.

It seems that the family dinner is about to begin.

This is a royal family banquet, so there is no doubt about its scale.

The imperial dining room has been prepared since the morning, and there are countless delicacies from all kinds of mountains and seas.

And this was only at noon. Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the kings. One of them had a family gathering, and the other one had something to talk about.

Therefore, except for the kings, neither the harem concubines nor Zhu Yuanzhang's daughters, that is, the Ming princesses, were invited by the imperial edict.

Anyway, today is a royal gathering all day long. It won’t be too late to summon them again in the evening, and the scale will be even bigger.

On the New Year's Day, since we have to entertain hundreds of officials, we probably won't be able to take care of the people in the harem, so we have to hold a family banquet in advance.

When Zhu Chu and Zhu Song arrived, they saw that the former court hall had been transformed into a huge restaurant.

What is even more surprising is that there is a huge long table instead of small tables for eating according to status.

No wonder Xu Da has always been full of resentment. All four of his precious daughters were taken over by these little Zhu Zizi, and none of them were left behind. They were all captured in one fell swoop.

Zhu Gui nodded with a smile and said: "Old Shiba, you have given face to our Mr. Zhu. It's just that you only seemed to remember to write a letter to the third brother, but you forgot that our fiefdom is also in Datong."

Even Zhu Gui came over.

"Well done."

Zhu Zhen was speechless. Is this guy his brother-in-law?

With Zhu Chu's current five senses, he naturally heard it. When he subconsciously looked up, he was stunned.

Zhu Di came this way, stood in front of Zhu Ji, looked at the eighteenth brother up and down, stretched out his hands to pat Zhu Ji's arms, and praised excitedly: "You are worthy of being a descendant of our Zhu family. Old Shi Eight, this battle was well fought. From now on, the grassland outside the pass will also belong to our Zhu family."

Everyone is looking at Zhu Zhen.

Such a casual look, if it were normal, would definitely be punished.

"Is this our eighteenth-year-old who is famous all over the world, whose military strength is unparalleled in ancient and modern times, and who has made contributions for generations to come?" Someone sneered, and there seemed to be a lot of disdain in his words.

Zhu Ying shook his head and shook off Zhu Ying's hand, put it on his waist, and said in an old-fashioned way: "Brother Shiba, don't forget that you were also a feudal lord when you were twelve years old. You are only four years older than me. Not to mention me. My fiancée is the third daughter of the Duke of Wei, and your fiancée is the fourth daughter. If we were in the palace of the Duke of Wei, you would still have to call me brother-in-law."

Especially the younger brothers at the bottom of the ranking looked at Zhu Ming with excitement and admiration.

Zhu Ming turned around to look, his eyes suddenly lit up, he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands and said, "Fourth brother, are you here too? When did you arrive?"

It's so embarrassing. We are obviously brothers, but we don't know each other?

It turns out that Zhu Ying is the fiancé of Xu Miaozhen, the third sister of the Xu family.

At this level, even if they were lying on the ground and wanted to take a nap, the eunuchs would not dare to talk too much.

Whether it is the oldest group of princes, the group in the middle, or the brothers of Zhu Zhen's group.

At this time, he also ran to his brother and shouted: "Brother 18, when you are free in the future, you can also teach me to lead troops in war. I also want to go into battle to kill the enemy like you and show off the prestige of our Ming Dynasty."

For example, King Zhu Ying of Na'an, as the twenty-second old man, was four years younger than Zhu Ying, only twelve years old.

Zhu Ming shrugged: "He is envious and jealous."

"Good boy, at such a young age, you want to go into battle and kill the enemy?" Zhu Zhen smiled and touched his little head with his hand.

Someone next to me laughed.

Only then did Zhu Ming feel relieved. He was not surprised.

A total of twenty-three princes of the Ming Dynasty were gathered together at this time.

Zhu Ming smiled bitterly, quickly clasped his fists and said, "Brother Thirteen."

"puff."

It is none other than Zhu Laosi, King of Yan, Zhu Di.

Except for the third brother, the other brothers praised Zhu Ming one after another.

"Brother 18, good job."

When Zhu Chu came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Good guy.

But these people are not ordinary, because everyone is special like the prince.

Uh, I don’t know.

"Yes, since ancient times, the feat that even the strong men in the prosperous Tang Dynasty failed to accomplish has now been accomplished by Lao Ba. Brothers, this is an eternal achievement."

Xu Da has four daughters. The eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun is married to Zhu Di, the second daughter Xu Miaoqing is married to Zhu Gui, the third daughter Xu Miaozhen is Zhu Ying's fiancée, and the fourth daughter Xu Miaojin is naturally Zhu Ying's wife.

Zhu Chu and Zhu Song were the last to come in. The hall was already full of people, gathering in twos and threes, either in the east or in the west. There were also people leaning against the pillars with their arms folded, some whispering, and some Close your eyes and relax.

"This is your thirteenth brother, the acting king Zhu Gui." Zhu Di guessed that Zhu Chu might not know this brother, so he introduced him to Zhu Chu first: "He is also your second brother-in-law."

At the same time, because of such a relationship, Zhu Di, Zhu Ying and this Zhu Ying seemed particularly close.

"Brother, that's our third brother. Why did you offend him?" It was Zhu Song who whispered the identity of the man to Zhu Ming.

It turned out to be Zhu Fan, the third oldest king of Jin.

Zhu Xi was stunned.

This happened last year. In order to pursue and stop Guilichi from continuing to flee, he entered Datong Town from Yanmen Pass and wanted to write to his third brother in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to borrow troops.

Naturally, he was rejected by Zhu Fan and was ridiculed.

But what Zhu Zhen didn't expect was that the fiefdom of King Co-author Dai was in Datong.

But instead of building a palace at the border, the palace was built in Datong Mansion.

"It's my fault. My brother wants to apologize to my brother. I really didn't know you were in Datong," Zhu Ming explained quickly.

(PS: It has absolutely nothing to do with the author.)
Zhu Gui smiled and said: "Why do brothers from the same family talk to each other? My brother just wants to tell you that if you are useful in the future, just say hello to us. We are brothers, and we will never talk to each other when we are brothers. "

"Old Thirteen, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression a little gloomy.

Zhu Gui turned his head and looked at the third brother.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was granted the title of king, he was divided into three batches.

The first batch was in the third year of Hongwu. In addition to Zhu Biao as the crown prince, a total of nine princes, including the king of Qin, the king of Jin, the king of Yan, the king of Wu, the king of Chu, the king of Qi, the king of Tan, the king of Zhao and the king of Lu, were granted the title. One of his descendants, Zhu Shouqian, became the King of Jingjiang.

The second batch of canonizations was in the eleventh year of Hongwu. A total of five vassal kings were canonized, including the King of Shu, the King of Xiang, the King of Yu, the King of Han, and the King of Wei, and the King of Wu was changed to the King of Zhou.

The third batch is naturally Zhu Zhen's batch.

That's why it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang's sons were divided into three batches.

Zhu Gui was the King of Yu. In the 25th year of Hongwu, he was granted the title of King of Dai. In the same year, he was granted the title of Datong Prefecture.

Datong Town is one of the important towns on the nine sides, and the importance of Zhu Gui is naturally self-evident.

It's just that Zhu Gui and Zhu Fan's fiefdoms are both in Shanxi. At this time, it seems that there may have been discord in the past?
For example, Zhu Gui pouted his lips at this time, not paying attention to Zhu Fan at all, and was about to refute.

But suddenly, the Huangmen Minister came out from the inner hall and shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived, all the kings will welcome you."

Even if you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, you still have to stand aside in front of the true emperor.

What's more, don't you know how they got their throne?

If they were not Zhu Yuanzhang's sons, how could they have such an honorable identity and status?

So, whether it was Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, Zhu Lun, Zhu Gui and others, more than 20 feudal princes stood up or turned around and knelt down facing the direction of the dragon chair.

When Zhu Yuanzhang came out wearing a red dragon robe, all the kings shouted: "I respectfully wish to bow to you and give you a golden peace."

Zhu Yuanzhang said casually: "I'm in peace. Everyone, please get up."

The kings then stood up.

Zhu Ming looked up and found that Zhu Yuanzhang was followed by three young children.

They are respectively the 23rd old Tang Wang Zhu Huan; the 24th old Ying Wang Zhu Dong; and the 25th old Yi Wang Zhu.

These boys are younger than Zhu Ying. Among them, Zhu Dong and Zhu were both born in the 21st year of Hongwu. They were only three years old when they were crowned king in the 24th year.

By the time the New Year is over, they will only be seven years old.

Now following my father, I am full of freshness and curiosity about everything around me.

In addition to the three little guys, behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen also appeared.

The incident at the Xuanwu Gate yesterday had not spread yet, so not many people noticed that the eyes of Zhu Zhen and Zhu Yunwen met in mid-air, and there was an invisible collision.

However, some people have noticed that although all the kings present are all princes, there are differences among the same princes.

Among the princes, some wore red python robes, and some wore blue python robes, but only Zhu Zhen and Zhu Yunwen wore bright yellow dragon-patterned python robes.

Today, even Zhu Yuanzhang specially put on a red dragon robe, which was quite festive. Among the entire crowd, there were only two pairs of bright yellow clothes, which were very eye-catching.

Some feudal kings seemed to have noticed something, and their eyes flashed with strange luster.

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the three little guys around him: "Old Twenty-three, Old Twenty-four, Old Twenty-five, why don't you go pay your respects to your Eighteenth Brother?"

Special greetings to Lao Shiba? What's the purpose of this?

Zhu Fan clenched his fists, squinted his eyes slightly, and his whole face became gloomy.

Now that the eldest and second child are dead, he has become the head of the kings.

Even if my brothers want to say hello, they should see me first, right?
Where do you put yourself?
"Dad, isn't this inappropriate?" Zhu Fan couldn't help but said.

He is the third child, so what if he faces Emperor Hongwu? He is the son of Queen Ma and his legitimate son.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced over and said: "We are not dead yet, what? Now we want to kick in the nest?"

Zhu Fan was shocked and quickly lowered his head.

"Why, Third Brother, we heard that you are stationing troops in Taiyuan? Is this happening?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

Zhu Fan quickly knelt down and said, "Dad, my son doesn't dare."

It’s because I don’t dare, not because I don’t have it.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered. It seemed that he, the third child, was also waiting for his death.

Are you afraid that if you die, the world will be in chaos?
As cold air emanated from Zhu Yuanzhang's body, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became depressing.

Don't look at the five or six of these vassal princes, all of whom are wearing python robes. If they go out, even the princes and ministers will have to salute.

But under the suppression of Zhu Yuanzhang's bloodline, who is not afraid?
Even Zhu Di could see cold sweat on his forehead, and he quietly winked at Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xin stood up and said, "Dad, please sit down and talk first."

He also personally stepped forward to open the top and most honorable position for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi, then breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhu Fan and said, "Get up. I'm not very capable, but my temper is not bad."

As Zhu Fan stood up, he muttered in a low voice, still unconvinced: "I'm just following my roots."

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to curse, this bastard.

But I can't even think about it.

Otherwise, are you scolding your own sister, Queen Ma? Are you still scolding yourself?

For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

Then, the three little guys came to Zhu Ming and said obediently: "Happy New Year, Brother 18."

Hey, really good at talking.

Zhu Ming was so happy that he knelt down and looked at his brothers who were more than ten years younger than him. He flipped his hands and took out a handful of candies like a magic trick.

This is candy produced by the system store, and the craftsmanship is not comparable to this era.

The three little guys took the candy from Zhu Xi's big hand, put it in their mouths and ate it, and they were all stunned with laughter.

"Brother, I want it too," Zhu Song's eyes lit up, and even Zhu Ying looked over.

Forgot that they are actually young boys too.

Zhu Ming said angrily: "On this point, you still want to fight with the child?"

"What children? Those are your brothers," Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling. This was the result of his hard work, and the old man was the most favored.

Zhu Ming sighed helplessly. These three children were not old, but their status was not low, and they were also senior.

In fact, he has reaped the dividends of his seniority and taken advantage of everything.

Except for the veterans, they are basically all juniors.

Including Wang Fu, if we really want to count, we have to start from Wang Fu's ancestors, that is, Wang Fu's grandfather's generation who followed Zhu Yuanzhang.

Logically speaking, Wang Fu is considered to be Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, one generation younger than Zhu Chu.

Not to mention the Mu brothers.

This is true even within one's own family.

As mentioned before, Zhu Zhen has several eldest nephews who are older than him, such as Zhu Yunwen, the eldest brother of the fourth brother's family, Zhu Gaochi, and so on.

They just call them Uncle Eighteen. I really don’t know how they will feel when they face the old Uncle Twenty-fifth.

I really agree with that sentence. If you are senior, you are a cow. If you have nothing to do, I will give birth to an ancestor for you.

"Yunwen, haven't I seen your eighteenth uncle yet?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said.

Zhu Yunwen was the grandson of the emperor. Although he was the youngest in the hierarchy, his status was more noble than that of other vassal kings.

Therefore, Zhu Yunwen originally did not bow to other vassal kings. He was the crown prince. In the future, after he ascended the throne as the new king, other vassal princes and uncles would have to bow to him as courtiers.

But at this time, Zhu Yunwen bravely walked up to Zhu Chu, lowered his head and said, "Yunwen meets the eighteenth uncle. Good luck to Uncle Wang."

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yunwen. He lost the smile he had when he was teasing the children. He stood there with his head held high. He was 1.9 meters tall and very oppressive.

"Yunwen, do you know you were wrong?" Zhu Zhen asked directly.

As soon as this sentence came out, except for a few people, everyone else was confused.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head, his eyes flashed with coldness, and said: "I don't know. Since ancient times, the winners and losers, the so-called right and wrong are just written by the victors."

"Oh, you are right to say that. You are worthy of the blood of our old Zhu family," Zhu Ming smiled instead.

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, what do you mean?
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yunwen, and instead of tit-for-tat at the beginning, he said with seriousness and sincerity: "After all, your surname is Zhu. Although your father died of illness, he is my eldest brother after all. I still remember that when we first became vassal, even myself None of my brothers came to see me off. It was my eldest brother who reluctantly held my hand and told me that it was a long way to go and asked me to take care of myself. He also said that if I encountered any grievances, I would definitely write him a letter. If I wanted to come back, He will also help me plead with our father."

When Zhu Biao was mentioned, even Zhu Cun's eyes turned red.

The eldest brother is like father, which means that his eldest brother is so responsible.

Even the other brothers, many emotional people, couldn't help crying silently.

After all, it is only three years since Zhu Biao passed away.

Zhu Yuanzhang was in tears.

Everyone who hears this is sighing.

"If your grandpa hadn't asked Jiang Wei to come forward yesterday, even if I could kill all those people, could I still kill you? But Yunwen, you are too anxious. Since you chose to hold back from the beginning, why not Are you going to endure it to the end? When your grandpa, a hundred years later, as long as you are not wrong and have the support of the entire court and scholars all over the world, I am afraid you will still have a chance to ascend the throne," Zhu Zhen shook his head.

If it were him, if he were Zhu Yunwen, he would never take action at this time.

Zhu Yunwen regarded Zhu Ming's fame this time as a huge pressure. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't hold it in any longer, so he chose to take the risk.

But doesn’t he know how to make progress by retreating?

At this time, the more important it is to stay away from the edge.

Even when Lan Yu's momentum was at its peak, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to punish him. He just made the original King of Liang King of Liang as a warning.

Zhu Yunwen made a mistake.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

"You lost," Zhu Ming said to Zhu Yunwen calmly, without the condescension of a winner, just telling Zhu Yunwen's defeat very plainly.

"But not completely defeated."

Before Zhu Yunwen could speak, Zhu Zhen continued: "You have to pay for your mistakes. I think you are also aware of it. I will resign from the position of grandson after the year. But you are still the third generation prince of the Ming Dynasty. Sun. There will still be opportunities and qualifications to be emperor in the future."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was shocked.

All the vassal kings were dumbfounded. They looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Zhu Zhen.

Old Eighteen, who gave you the courage?

Our father is still alive, and Emperor Hongwu is still alive and watching you.

Are you allowed to talk nonsense there?
Still an emperor?

who do you think You Are? You decide?

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, as if he acquiesced to Zhu Xi's behavior.

Zhu Ming turned around, looked at all the brothers, and suddenly made an astonishing move and said loudly: "To be honest with you brothers, I want my father's throne. I, Zhu Shiba, want to be the second in the Ming Dynasty." Acting emperor, named Ming Taizong. Who is in favor and who is against?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up immediately and was about to take off his shoes.

Zhu Ming was stunned and asked, "What's wrong, dad?"

"What's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark: "Ming Taizong is a posthumous title. Before you ascended the throne, you were already thinking about things after death, right? Come on, come on, I, a white-haired man, will do the same. You dark-haired man.”
