Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 441 Brothers and Sisters
  evening.

After Zhu Yuanzhang read the memorial in the cabinet, he immediately returned to Qianqing Palace, wanting to experience the filial piety given to him by his good grandson and how comfortable the floor heating was.

When Zhu Yuanzhang entered the main hall of Qianqing Palace, he could feel a warmth coming towards him.

The coldness that returned from outside disappeared in an instant, replaced by comfort and warmth. This warmth still radiated from the ground. Old Han's legs felt much better. The floor heating was indeed very good.

"Grandpa Huang, what do you think?"

Zhu Xuan ran over and asked expectantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily and said: "It's comfortable. My dear grandson is so good. I can't even think of this."

Zhu Xuan said reassuringly: "As long as Grandpa Huang likes it, it's very warm in the palace. From now on, you don't have to worry about getting cold or feeling uncomfortable."

"Okay, okay, but..."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said: "This is the kind of comfortable and comfortable thing that Guaisun can only do. No more. We are worried that if we are too comfortable, we will forget about the government. In the past, Zhou was like a chopstick and the dustpan was terrible. Guaisun Sun must remember this truth."

Of course, Zhu Xuan had read the allusion about the ivory chopsticks of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty and remembered the content of the story.

After hearing Lao Zhu's teachings, Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "My grandson understands. My grandson is not greedy for pleasure. He just wants to make Grandpa Huang more comfortable at night. Grandpa Huang is old and needs to pay attention to his health."

"We can all see the filial piety of our good grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said: "We have accepted this floor heating, but this is the first and will be the last floor heating. We can't do it again in the future."

Lao Zhu's requirements for himself are just too strict.

But it makes sense to be strict. After all, an emperor who only knows how to enjoy himself cannot govern the country.

It was not easy for Lao Zhu's family to build this empire. We don't want those who come after us to just enjoy it, and in the end they won't even be able to hold on to their empire.

"My grandson knows."

Zhu Xuan said with a learned expression.

"Okay, my dear grandson is here with us. Enjoy it. By the way, remember to come to court tomorrow and formally report your political achievements tomorrow. We have already asked someone to inform Yunwen." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Zhu Xuan nodded gently.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Today, according to the people in the Ministry of Rites, Ashikaga Yoshimichi of the Japanese Kingdom came to pay tribute and also wanted to ask for our forgiveness. According to his statement, he got the order from the good grandson. Is it true?"

Unexpectedly, it took until now for him to come to Ming Dynasty to admit his mistake.

However, Xiaoli's sailing skills are really good. Without Zhu Xuan's maritime technical support, he dared to sail to Daming in winter with an ordinary wooden boat. Xiaoli was quite capable.

"Yes!"

Zhu Xuan nodded slightly and said: "The Japanese people also wanted to trade in the trading port of Panyu. Sun'er took the opportunity to extort a large sum of money from them, including two million taels of silver. However, the money has not been delivered yet. When it is delivered, When the grandson comes, he will send part of the response to the emperor. This time the Japanese came to pay tribute to beg for mercy from the emperor and send money to the emperor."

"Two million taels?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this amount, he was startled.

My dear grandson really dares to blackmail!

"well done."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry and acted like this.

In the past, he thought it was detrimental to the image of a great country, but now he feels that those Japanese deserve it.

"Then we will let Ashikaga Yoshimachi go to court tomorrow."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Japanese a chance, but he had to get the two million taels first.

Those were all the money that Guaishun extorted for Daming based on his ability.

After their grandfather and grandson discussed the affairs of Japan for a while, they continued to read the memorial, still reading very late before resting.

-

morning.

Zhu Xuan put on his court clothes and came to the court early in the morning.

At this time, many ministers came. Zhu Xuan said hello to Yang Rong, whom he was familiar with, and then went to meet Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu, among the few generals who were willing to support him.

There were also some civil servants who had experienced the smallpox incident at the beginning of the year and thought that there was no hope in Zhu Yunwen, so they wanted to show their favor to Zhu Xuan and prepared to find someone else to join the team.

"Little brother!" At this time, Zhu Yunxi walked into the hall.

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "Second brother is finally here. Are you feeling better?"

Zhu Yunxi said loudly: "It's much better. Congratulations, little brother, for coming back with great achievements."

Zhu Xuan said: "The second brother's contribution in Yingtian is better."

"Second brother, youngest brother."

At this time, Zhu Yunwen also came.

Before he came in, his expression was a little gloomy, but after crossing the threshold of the hall, his expression changed visibly. He was smiling, and he was a bit elegant and personable.

If they hadn't known what kind of person Zhu Yunwen was, they would have thought that Zhu Yunwen was a charitable and friendly elder brother.

"Big brother!"

Zhu Xuan and Zhu Yunxi said at the same time.

Zhu Yunxi asked: "Brother, are you okay in Fengyang?"

Zhu Yunwen said politely: "Barely..."

The three brothers were hypocritically polite to each other, and had to give the illusion of brotherly harmony in front of the ministers. It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang came that they put aside their hypocrisy and saluted together.

"Free gift!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was loud and echoed slowly in the hall.

The shock also caused the snow hanging outside the hall to tremble slightly, and then fell one after another, with snowflakes flying.

The ministers all knew that today was another day for the emperor's grandsons to gather together, but the generals and civil servants looked at Zhu Xuan helplessly at this time. If nothing unexpected happened, it was Zhu Xuan who had the most credit. It seemed that who your majesty wanted to choose, the answer was ready to come out. , the minister who originally suggested testing several emperors' grandchildren now regrets it.

Civil servants and military generals were all thinking of ways to remedy the situation.

But there is absolutely no way.

"Yunwen, you come first!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"Back to Grandpa Huang, my grandson didn't do much in Fengyang. He built some water conservancy projects and paid homage to the ancestors of the Zhu family..."

Zhu Yunwen reported the matter completely.

Because he had no hope, he was not very enthusiastic when submitting the report. In addition, Fengyang was in good weather and lacked everything, so he still could not achieve particularly good political results in the second year.

It had prompted Zhu Yunwen to choose the minister of Fengyang, but he regretted it now.

Fengyang is so stable and cannot achieve political achievements, so it should choose some places with more turmoil to better demonstrate its strength.

But at this point, it's too late to regret.

When Zhu Yunwen finished his report, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yunwen did a great job!"

It's mediocre and only has good reviews.

No civil servant in the DPRK could refute anything.

"Yunxi, where's yours?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Back to Grandpa Huang, my grandson didn't do much. He just dealt with some very ordinary daily affairs in Liuhe County and arrested a few people who did evil. The details are like this..."

His report was even more unremarkable.

The noble generals from Huaixi who were still in the court could not help but cover their foreheads at this time.

They are too weak.

In front of Zhu Xuan's political achievements, they can't even compare to a fraction.

There is no doubt that he will be defeated by Zhu Xuan again.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished listening to Zhu Yunxi's report, he sighed with emotion: "We can understand that Yunxi did this, but what about your dear grandson?"
