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

Chapter 452 Princess and Consort and other follow-up arrangements
Only later did Zhu Ming explain clearly.

He didn't want the princesses to be wronged, and he didn't need to marry them as princesses.

Mei Yin was speechless. This was the eldest daughter of Emperor Hongwu. She was a princess. Was she wronged? Are you kidding me?
"But I have always heard that my second brother-in-law is quite talented, and he is excellent in both literature, Taoism and military strategy. If the court entrusts him with important responsibilities in the future, I wonder if my second brother-in-law can be of great use?" Zhu Ming asked thoughtfully.

Mei Yin's heart moved, and she understood that this was a temptation, or that this was a clear indication that I want to use you, and are you willing to be used by me?

Mei Yin quickly bowed his head and said, "I will do my best to the death, and I dare not disgrace the sacred mandate."

Princess Ningguo also looked at Zhu Zhen with a pleased expression.

It is now being said that Emperor Yongchang attaches great importance to the royal family lineage, and now it seems that what he said is indeed true.

This is to reuse Mei Yin's rhythm.

It's just that this guy wanted to beat them up and break up their relationship as a couple. It's really abominable.

However, seeing that he still said a few human words, Princess Ningguo hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, you need to pay attention to your fourth sister's consort."

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately furious: "I am an emperor and I am a human being, and ordinary people are also human beings. Why don't you kowtow to your parents-in-law first on New Year's Eve, and why do you go all the way to the palace to pay homage to us first? Go ahead, go and pay New Year greetings to your parents-in-law first, honestly. Just stay at home for a day to serve them, and come back to pay us New Year greetings tomorrow."

And from now on, even if the daughter of a wealthy family gets married, she will have to wait until the second day of the Lunar New Year before returning home.

But Princess Anqing didn't speak.

Ouyang Lun was startled and quickly knelt down.

Like Princess Ningguo, Princess Anqing is also the daughter of Empress Ma and is the legitimate second daughter.

Then came the fourth sister, Princess Anqing, and the consort Ouyang Lun.

It is said that during the Chinese New Year, all the married princesses naturally celebrated the New Year at their husband's house. Only the newly married Princess Anqing felt that her husband's family was shabby and refused to go back to her husband's house because she was the youngest daughter of Queen Ma. Instead, she insisted on staying with her husband in the palace. Parents celebrate the New Year together.

In fact, he already knew.

Because in the early years of Hongwu, almost all the kings, princesses, and princes-in-law came from the families of the founding heroes.

Princess Anqing gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, "You are now the boss."

Zhu Ming nodded and sent his second sister and brother-in-law away.

"Ouyang Lun, do you know your guilt?" After seeing Ouyang Lun, Zhu Zhen shouted loudly.

"And this Ouyang Lun, is he a normal person? Is he Liangxu? Do you think I don't know the 'good things' you have done?" Zhu Zhen turned to Ouyang Lun again and angrily said: "You are the son-in-law of the royal family. You don’t dare to seek personal gain even if others don’t treat you well.”

Later, this incident spread, and it was widely spread that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Princess Anqing to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Lunar New Year. People in later generations also designated this day as a custom for their daughters to return to their parents' homes to visit relatives, and it has slowly been passed down to this day.

Looking at it this way, who would have thought that this guy is a complete idiot?
It turns out that Princess Anqing is a beauty addict.

Moreover, in history, Ouyang Lun not only had a poor reputation, but was also extremely stupid and greedy. In the end, he was convicted and sentenced to death.

You know clearly that Zhu Xi is the new king, but you still dare to make such a fuss?
Zhu Ming laughed angrily: "Fourth sister, you are too old to know any rules? Now that I am the emperor, even when I go to the court, my father has to give me some thin noodles. Do you understand? ah?"

However, Zhu Yuanzhang doted on his daughter too much and let her come back for the second grade of junior high school.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, he ordered Niuchengqi to be sent directly to the Golden Tooth Guard for execution.

It's a pity that for Lao Shiba, her fourth sister is really quite old.

Empress Ma, who has always been very strict with her children, persuaded Princess Anqing: "You are now a wife, so you should be filial to your parents-in-law and considerate of your husband. How they want to have a lively reunion with their new daughter-in-law."

Let’s talk about Princess Anqing.

At this time, Princess Anqing showed her perverse side.

Princess Anqing was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise how could she have decided on her own marriage. When she chose to marry Ouyang Lun, it shocked the government and the public.

As a result, the third princess died on the road, and the cause of death was unknown.

At the same time, Princess Anqing is also Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite daughter.

Seeing that her daughter was silent, Empress Ma enlightened her and said, "You won't go back to your husband's family just because you are the emperor's daughter. Although they can't say anything, will they be happy in their hearts? If you want to be fair, turn it upside down and you will be treated as such in the future. Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law is a princess, will you be happy if she doesn’t reunite with you during the Chinese New Year?”

Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart: I just sent you away last night, and you came again this morning. Then he asked her: "Have you paid New Year's greetings to your parents-in-law?"

It is even said that the custom of returning to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year is all because of her.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he went back to the study, wrote a couplet and handed it to his daughters, asking them to go back and think about it, and then kicked them out.

In fact, I didn’t go into detail before. The third princess Chongning was originally going to be banished to the Yunnan Golden Tooth Guard because her consort Niucheng was convicted, so the princess volunteered to accompany her.

Princess Anqing laughed and shook her head like a rattle.

As a result, the next day, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the palace courtyard when he saw Princess Anqing and his consort Ouyang Lun coming to pay them New Year greetings.

Zhu Chu was puzzled, how did such a person become the consort and win the favor of the princess?
When he really saw Ouyang Lun, Zhu Chu understood.

Zhu Chu's heart moved, Ouyang Lun?

Princess Anqing, on the other hand, frowned and shouted: "Old Shiba, don't think that just because you become emperor, you can dominate and dominate. Our father is still here."

Princess Anqing went back and opened the couplet, which read: "The sheep kneel down to breastfeed, and the daughter-in-law respects the mother-in-law. It is only natural to criticize them."

But only Princess Anqing's consort, Ouyang Lun, was born a commoner.

I saw that Ouyang Lun was handsome, slender, and quite elegant.

hateful.

All in all, Princess Anqing has finally returned to her husband's family.

"Let me ask you, have you sent people to sell tea privately and smuggled it out of the country? Think about it. Now the Mongolian grassland and even the entire Western Region were conquered by me."

Ouyang Lun lowered his head and said nothing, with cold sweat covering his forehead.

Princess Anqing looked at Ouyang Lun in surprise. She didn't know anything about these things?
And in today's era, the status of businessmen is very humble.

She never expected that her majestic princess's consort would actually start a business?

But Princess Anqing curled her lips again and said, "Isn't it just selling some tea? So what should I do?"

Zhu Ming was speechless: "My sister, do you know that tea, salt and iron horses are run by the government, and selling them privately is tantamount to treason, beheading, and even a serious crime that brings harm to the nine tribes. What's more, he was smuggled out of the country. Do you know that Mongolia used to What is lacking in the grassland? They are short of tea, salt and even iron. Isn’t this an advantage to the enemy?”

Princess Anqing never expected that things would be so serious.

Just kidding, when Zhu was engaged in development in Yunnan, why did he do his own scientific research?
Why does he want to make sugar, glass, soap and perfume instead of directly developing Yunnan's rich mineral resources?

Just because this is something that touches the bottom line.

Zhu Yuanzhang could ignore him if he sold other things.

Are you trying to sell those?

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's son is like this, you are Ouyang Lun, why do you?
"Moreover, relying on his status as a prince-in-law, he threatened many local officials who did not dare to report to the court, and did not even pay the capital. It can be said that he made huge profits."

"If you are just doing business and want your wife to eat well, dress well, and live a prosperous life. Not only will I not despise you, but I will think that you are a man and a man."

"But a gentleman loves money and gets it in the right way. Ouyang Lun, do you know your sin?"

Zhu Zhen furrowed his brows and shouted angrily again.

Ouyang Lun lowered his head tremblingly, how could he dare to quibble: "I know that I am guilty, please forgive me this time for the sake of your fourth sister. Ouyang Lun will never dare to do it again."

Princess Anqing was so angry that she thought of me at this time. What did I do before? When you violate laws and disciplines, why don't you think about the consequences?

Not to mention that Lao Shiba was as shrewd as a ghost, even their father, Emperor Hongwu, had no regard for them.

This is simply a capital crime.

Princess Anqing had to kneel down together and said to Zhu Xi with a serious face: "Old Eighteen. No, Your Majesty, Ouyang Lun's crime is my negligence as a wife and I did not notice it, otherwise I would never let him He did this. How about you give him a break? Even if the property is confiscated, we will admit it."

"What do I want from your little family property?" Zhu Ming rolled his eyes. The whole world belongs to him. Is he short of money?
But for Ouyang Lun, Zhu Zhen tentatively said to Princess Anqing: "Why don't you make peace? I will choose another hundred handsome men for you and let you choose the one you like? You are still young, how about it?"

Princess Anqing almost lost her breath and vomited blood. Who do you think I am?
In fact, she didn't just like Ouyang Lun, the pretty girl.

She not only likes Ouyang Lun's appearance, but Ouyang Lun is also a talented person from the beginning. But for some reason, Ouyang Lun gradually became less outstanding.

In fact, it may be because he has too low self-esteem. Compared to other princes-in-law, who are all from famous families, he is from an ordinary family.

Even if no one compares, he himself will still fall behind.

Perhaps among ordinary people, Ouyang Lun can be considered a talent.

But compared with others, it is not necessarily the case.

The double blow and gap in identity and psychology made Ouyang Lun feel inferior and even give up on himself.

But how could a man who could attract the attention of a dignified princess and the beloved princess of Emperor Hongwu really be a fool?

At the same time, Zhu Ming also understood that even Princess Anqing had begged her, and she was Ouyang Lun's talisman.

If someone else had killed him, he would have been killed. Now, unless the old man (Zhu Yuanzhang) is willing to step in and take the blame for this villain, Ouyang Lun really will not die.

There is no way, Zhu Zhen doesn't want to be this evil person.

What's more, Ouyang Lun harmed the interests of the country, but he was not considered a treacherous villain, nor did he harm the interests of the people.

So Zhu Xi thought for a while and said: "Fourth sister, please get up. Even for your sake, I will spare him once. But Ouyang Lun, please remember, today your life belongs to my fourth sister." My sister saved me, otherwise you will definitely die. If you dare to bully my fourth sister in the future, I will definitely kill you."

Ouyang Lun quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

Princess Anqing glanced at Zhu Xi with her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "No wonder dad chose you to be the emperor. Only if you become the emperor, we brothers and sisters will be really lucky. Otherwise, the eldest nephew will not take care of relatives like this. . He doesn’t think of us as a family. Brother 18, the fourth sister was rude just now.”

Princess Anqing also made a blessing for Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Ming smiled and continued: "But the fourth brother-in-law should also find something to do. Since you want to do business, why not let me give you an errand. In the future, I plan to open the border and set up a market on Jining Road so that people can The Central Plains are connected with the grassland. Now that the Mongolian grassland is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I also plan to add the Mongolian people as one of the ethnic groups of the Ming Dynasty, so it should be facilitated. "

"Ouyang Lun listens to the announcement."

Ouyang Lun looked at Zhu Xi excitedly.

Zhu Ming continued: "I want you to be responsible for opening the Jining market, presiding over trade between the two sides, and at the same time maintaining the harmonious coexistence of the Han and Mongolian people. Is it possible for you to do it?"

"I will live up to the sacred mandate, the emperor's grace is so great," Ouyang Lun was extremely excited. He didn't expect that this time it would be a blessing in disguise.

What he was most unwilling to accept was that he once had a talent, and he once wanted to enter an official career through the imperial examination and show off his talents.

In the end, he was favored by the princess, and then he became the prince-consort.

The consort can succeed or fail.

I don't know since when, when others mentioned Ouyang Lun, he was only the consort.

Maybe he even forgot his name and his former talents, and only knew that he was the consort.

Now that Zhu Zhen has given him a job, he must try his best to do his best and not dare to lose this opportunity.

Princess Anqing looked at Ouyang Lun with tender eyes, and she was also grateful to Zhu Chu in her heart.

After that, Zhu Chu continued to summon and arrange for the princesses and their princes-in-law.

Except for a few princesses who died young, everything went well.

Among them, there are three princesses who are rarer than Zhu Chu.

For example, Princess Hanshan and Princess Ruyang were one year younger than Zhu Chu. In the 27th year of Hongwu last year, they got married at the same time when Zhu Chu was fighting abroad.

Zhu Chu also made up for them with congratulatory gifts.

The two younger sisters were naturally overjoyed and thanked the emperor's brother.

Especially the little princess Baoqing, who is only a little over one year old now, but the little girl can already recognize people.

And I don’t know why, except for her biological mother Zhang Meiren (Zhu Yuanzhang’s beauty), and her father Hongwu, the little girl’s favorites are the emperor’s brother and the queen’s sister-in-law, as well as two noble concubines and sisters-in-law.

So in Kunning Palace, you can always see the three girls holding the little girl and teasing her.

Maybe it’s because Zhu and his wife are monks? Zhu Ming is even more blessed and highly favored by the great Tao, and the child's aura is still intact. Don't they say that children have clairvoyance and can see things that adults cannot see?

Is that why she likes her brother and sister-in-law’s family?
Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly relieved after seeing it, and he had the intention of entrusting his youngest daughter to his son.

Zhu Xinxin said, if you learn Zhang Sanfeng's experience, you can live for a long time. Don't worry, maybe I will abdicate and return power to you in the future. This is all uncertain.

Speaking of Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng brought a piece of news before.

Shen Wansan was already dead. After all, he was so old. He had lived and slept in the open all the way to Yunnan, and was treated harshly by Hu Yuan at the Golden Tooth Guard. Even if he lived in seclusion with Zhang Sanfeng later, he would not have lived for a few more years.

Zhu Ming had someone send the news to Shen Wang. Because the Shen family didn't know where the old immortal master Zhang Sanfeng buried their father, they had to build a tomb.

Later, someone spread the news that Shen Wansan was so rich because he had a cornucopia of treasures.

It caused a sensation for a while, and there was a craze to find Shen Wansan's burial place.

The descendants of the Shen family are quite speechless. Even we don't know what the cornucopia is, and even they don't know where Shen Wansan is buried. You can go find it.

The next day, Zhu Zhen summoned a person alone in the palace.

The commander of Jin Yiwei was Jiang Wei.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty," Jiang Wei knelt in front of Zhu Chu, lowering his head and not daring to look up, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.

When I first met His Majesty, who was still the King of Dian, I was astonished, mainly because of His Highness's methods at that time, which were really unforgettable.

I have never seen anyone injure an enemy eight hundred and lose a thousand to himself. At that time, in order to kill himself, His Highness even wanted to call himself his father.

Jiang Wei didn't dare to say it out loud, but it didn't stop him from feeling proud.

Zhu Ming looked sideways at Jiang Wei and muttered: "I always feel that you are thinking about something very rude? Why don't I chop you up and feed you to the dogs?"

As Zhu Zhen continued to improve his cultivation, even if he did not have the ability to read minds, he began to accept some extraordinary methods.

Jiang Wei quickly eliminated his inner thoughts and said respectfully: "I dare not think nonsense, let alone slander Your Majesty. But if you want me to die, I have to die. I will crash and die in the hall."

"Don't, it's going to be troublesome to clean up my hall if it's dirty," Zhu Zhen stopped Jiang Yu.

Jiang Wei was speechless. You don't care about my loyalty or my life or death, but you care about whether the hall is dirty?

In fact, Zhu Ming likes to tease him very much, such as, "Xiao Jiang, if you like to kneel, then kneel."

Even now, Zhu Zhen had no intention of asking him to get up and speak. Instead, he continued to make Jiang Gu kneel and said: "Jiang Gu, have you ever heard of the saying that once the emperor is the emperor, there are always ministers?"

Jiang Wei's heart moved, and he already understood the intention of summoning him today, so he said: "I already know what to do."

As he spoke, he took out the Xiuchun knife from his waist and put it on his neck to commit suicide.

As the commander of the Imperial Guards and the most trusted guard during the Hongwu period, he was naturally allowed to carry a sword in the palace.

But Zhu Zhen quickly stopped him: "Stop, don't dirty my hall."

Jiang Wei is about to cry. Your Majesty, I am about to die. Do you really not care?
"Then Wei Chen went out to die?" Jiang Wei asked tentatively.

Zhu Ming finally smiled and said: "Who told you to die? Xiao Jiang, you are very capable, we still know it. You are a talent. But we also have our own confidants. Give up your position as commander. , Li Gui will take over all affairs of Jinyiwei, but you don’t have to die.”

"It's better to say that you are of great use. I want you to go to sea after a little preparation. First go to Xiaoliuqiu from the East China Sea and see how Xie Yu is doing above."

Zhu Chu did not forget Xie Yu.

"Then we will start from Xiaoliuqiu and continue to the South China Sea. After passing through Luzon and other islands, we should be able to reach a continent, which is the Australian continent. Go and find out the situation for me."

Jiang Wei almost stopped crying.

Your Majesty, otherwise I'd better die.

What era is it now? Even the Age of Discovery did not become popular until two centuries later.

Do you want me to die outside?
