Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 247 247 He was born to be a prince-in-law
It is the first time for men to get married, and for the first time women to get married.

According to the ritual books of the Zhou Dynasty, men marry at the age of thirty and women marry at the age of twenty. If they are older than this age, it will be regarded as against common sense.

Wang Buli's house got busy early in the morning, with a bunch of people coming in and out.

Two red lanterns hang at the door.

Several large pots were placed outside the door, and the cooks were invited to start preparing ingredients early in the morning.

Neighboring women also helped to collect vegetables and meat.

This started yesterday.

Some meat dishes cannot be cooked in one go and require time to stew.

Everyone was talking lively about how delicious Lao Wang's food was. The smell of meat had already spread, and people kept swallowing their saliva.

Some smart women took advantage of the opportunity to give their greedy children a bite, saving them from always wandering around the cauldron.

Only people with rank five and above can use imperial edicts.

Even the third brother Wang Guiding did not expect that he, a bastard, could be rewarded.

A gong was sounded in front to clear the way, and there was another Han general holding a flag, and the clatter of horse hooves stopped.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the setting for the prince-in-law was to have a military rank of the second rank, but following the first rank was a treatment.

He quickly said a few auspicious words.

Wang Guanzhong said yes, but his eyes still wanted to see the flowers in the imperial edict.

At this time, even the sister-in-law and aunt had a look of surprise on their faces.

Wang Buli, who was thinking divergently, quickly thanked him and accepted the order. He took out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to him: "I am very happy."

As a eunuch who delivers edicts, he has seen many imperial edicts. This is the first time he has seen someone so favored by the emperor.

Wang Buli stood up and walked to the front yard without talking about battlefield experience with Wu Da and others.

"Prince-in-law, hurry up and take the order."

The key point is that Wang Buli was granted the title of Zhuguo (from the first rank) and Prince Consort Duwei.

"Second brother, someone is coming from the palace and they want to read out the imperial edict. Come over quickly." Wang Xingying rushed over and greeted the second brother.

Kang Changmin closed his holy book and reminded him.

At this time, Wang Buli was leaning on the recliner doing nothing. He didn't have to worry about getting married. Someone took care of it, and it felt so good.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet decided on the rank of civil and military officials. Wang Kegong and Huang Chen, the two prince-in-law captains, were decided in the first year, so the honorary ranks were based on those of the Yuan Dynasty.

Kang Changmin also understood what Wang Buli said, that the prince-in-law was different from ordinary people and was not false.

Kang Changmin quickly thanked him: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations."

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's two nieces and nephews, as well as the eldest son of Korean Gong Li Shan, Li Qi, the titles are all one rank higher.

As the head of the old Wang family, Divine Doctor Wang coughed twice and said, "Put away the imperial edict first, and find a craftsman to frame it properly another day."

As for official positions, Zhu Yuanzhang did not give any hereditary commander like he appointed the previous prince-in-law.

Especially since they don't go to the Princess Mansion to eat, everyone feels more comfortable here.

So everyone knelt in front of the incense table.

Naturally, Divine Doctor Wang doesn't care about these things.

Generally, people who eat at a banquet care about whether your host's food is hard or not, and whether it tastes good or not. These are the only things that everyone cares about.

As for how your wedding went, most people won't care.

"Since the Prince Consort is very happy to reward the Zaijia, the Zaijia can't help but accept it."

Everyone was talking about it, and at this time, a group of people came out of the alley.

The eunuch Kang Changmin got off the carriage and entered the Wang family's courtyard with the imperial edict in his hand.

For now, it is no surprise that Wang Buli is Lao Zhu's favorite son-in-law, otherwise he would not have given them such a big deal.

Because I had been prepared for it, the incense table was already set up.

"Let's have dinner at the princess's mansion tomorrow. I won't keep you here today. Go back and recover."

Kang Changmin unfolded the imperial edict and began to read out. First, he ordered his father Wang Cun to be the successor (sixth grade), his mother Wei Yongmei to be an Anren (sixth grade), his eldest son Wang Guanzhong to be a hundred households, and his concubine Wang Guiding to be the general banner.

Of course, these people receive only a salary but no actual work as a reward.

In terms of status, the Prince Consort has the same status as the Duke and the Marquis, and his clothes are the same as the Marquis. The Earl belongs to the lower class in front of the three of them.

After Zhu Di came to power, it was stipulated that dukes, marquises, princes-in-law, and uncles were of the highest rank, ranking above court officials.

"Thank you very much, Prince Consort. The Za family will return to the palace first."

However, Wang Buli's honorary rank is one level higher than that of the Korean prince, which reveals a lot of things.

Today's banquet for the neighbors is originally to invite the big guys to taste the meat. What if the children eat early and late?

After everyone in the palace had left, the eldest brother Wang Guanzhong grabbed the imperial edict in Wang Buli's hand, looked at it carefully, and murmured to himself:

"Why do you still have my business?"

It is true that one person has attained the Tao of chicken and dog and ascended to heaven.

The smiles on the faces of several women could not be stopped. Even the miracle doctor Wang couldn't stand the compliments from the surrounding villagers. He repeatedly handed over his hands and said that he had nothing to do with eating and drinking today.

After returning to the house, Wang Buli opened the imperial edict and took a careful look at it. He raised his eyebrows slightly. Why did his "father-in-law" become so generous?
But think about it for a moment, I am from a commoner family, and according to Lao Zhu's good temperament towards his family, it makes sense to take more care of him.

In the evening, King Zhu Zhu of Wu came with twelve-year-old King Zhu Zhen of Chu.

"Fifth brother, I told you to come back after we finish our meal. Even if my brother-in-law's family has a little money, can it compare to the food in the palace?"

After listening to Zhu Zhen's words, Lao Wu snorted disdainfully and said slowly:
"My master has a lot of secret recipes. When we get to my brother-in-law's house, I'm afraid you'll eat all the food on the table and not have the majesty of a prince at all.

If my father hadn't asked me to take you, I wouldn't have brought you here. "

"Brag, that's all you have to do."

Zhu Zhen didn't quite believe what Fifth Brother said. How could the taste of folk food be as good as that of the palace!
Compared with Lao Wu who likes medicine, Lao Liu also likes fighting and has the same temperament as Zhu Di.

One was requested by his father, and the other was because he heard that Wang Buli designed a formation for fighting Japanese pirates specifically for his fourth brother, and he wanted to get close to him so that he could design one for himself.

After all, Wei Guogong Xu Dadu said that Wang Buli's formation was quite high-level and would definitely be learned by future military strategists.

What's more, he has become his brother-in-law, so it's okay to ask him to do something, right?

Zhu Zhen thought so, but he didn't express his thoughts immediately. He just patted his chest at the dinner table and said.

It's up to him to get married and break into the palace tomorrow. He can break through the obstruction of the palace ladies in one round.

Just as he was talking, the aroma of the food on the table hit his nostrils.

Then Zhu Zhen began to eat the meat and vegetables on the table, blending in well with the villagers eating and drinking around him.

To be honest, even if the palace cook is trusted by the emperor, his craftsmanship is mediocre and it is not unpalatable, but it is a bit embarrassing to praise the delicious food.

Adding thirteen spices to the stew is really something that he, a royal heir, has never tasted before. If he didn't shout out the real fragrance on the spot, he would be very sensible and save the royal face.

Lao Wu looked at Zhu Zhen's appearance of being reincarnated as a starving ghost and chuckled, not bothering to expose his previous remarks.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhu Zhen went to the toilet to urinate, his eyes widened. How could he look like the palace?

The stinking scene he expected did not appear.

After walking around for a while, Zhu Zhen was stunned.

No, what's going on?
Our brother-in-law was just a minor official before, and at most he was a historian. How could he enjoy it better than me, the prince?
Although Lao Zhu did not engage in any hardship education, in terms of enjoyment, he himself took the lead in not enjoying it, and his sons enjoyed much less life in the palace.

At most, he didn't have to worry about food, drink, and good clothes. As for Xia Tian, ​​Lao Zhu himself couldn't bear to use ice all the time. After working at the desk for a while, he would sweat profusely and he would always change clothes.

Not to mention everyone else.

This is also the way that many sons began to enjoy revenge after leaving the palace and joining the feudal clan.

After all, I haven’t eaten it since I was a kid.

Now that there is no pressure from Zhu Yuanzhang around him, how many people can hold back and not let themselves go, not to mention the power of the vassal king is so great.

Zhu Zhen thought that Wang Buli had no money or power, and he seemed to be someone who knew how to enjoy happiness.

He was born to be a consort!

How did the father choose him?

I don't understand.

When Zhu Zhen returned to the room, he looked surprised and couldn't help but sigh:
"When can I go to Wuchang to join Fan?"

Zhu Tie curled his lips, he didn't even submit to the throne, so how could it be the younger Lao Liu's turn.

"How many years will it take?"

But Wang Buli comforted him: "Don't worry."

"But I really want to grow up quickly."

Zhu Zhen's face dropped. He was at this age when he longed for freedom. But in the palace, you still have to be careful everywhere, and you always feel that life is uncomfortable.

As long as you reach the fiefdom, you will be the greatest in the world.

From now on, like a bird flying into the sky or a fish swimming into the sea, it will no longer be fettered!

"People look forward to growing up when they are young, but when they grow up, they hope to be young again."

Wang Buli smiled and poured a cup of tea for his two younger brothers to relieve their tiredness:
"People cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time."

Zhu Zhen:? ? ?
He is semi-literate and still cannot understand the meaning of Wang Buli's words.

Anyway, he is currently looking forward to growing up quickly and leaving the palace.

After all, not everyone can withstand Lao Zhu’s pressure!

Even for his most beloved son, Zhu Biao, father and son often quarreled because of different ideas. Sometimes Lao Zhu even wanted to hit Zhu Biao.

Because Lao Zhuzhen is not an emperor who talks about being frugal, he can really practice it.

Zhu Ju picked up the tea and took a sip. To be honest, he didn't understand what Wang Buli meant by youth.
But at the age of sixty, I also understand some truths, that is, don’t ask rash questions about things you don’t know, there will always be someone who can ask them for you.

Sure enough, Zhu Xi heard Lao Liu asking his brother-in-law what he meant?
Wang Buli thought for a while before turning to their daily theoretical study:

"The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night."

Before dawn the next day, Wang Buli got up, dressed up, put on his auspicious clothes, rode a tall horse, and rushed to the palace while playing music.

When they arrived at the door, Ping An and other gatekeepers quickly came up to say congratulations.

Wang Buli signaled the two princes to throw small bags containing nuts and candies to the soldiers, feeling happy.

They had never seen anything like this before. It was probably someone who was getting married to King Yan and others, and was throwing out copper coins.

When the time comes, the brothers will be able to grab as many as they want, and the focus will always be on one thing.

I didn't expect that the prince-in-law would be so honest in his work, throwing out small bags.

The two kings cleared the way for Wang Buli. This card really surprised many officials who came to the morning court.

Not even the eldest son of a Korean prince is treated like this. I don’t know whether His Majesty does this for the sake of his eldest daughter or for the sake of Wang Buli, his new consort.

Hu Weiyong stopped and looked at the wedding team passing by, holding his beard and raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Prime Minister Hu, yesterday someone from the Ministry of Rites sent word that His Majesty is very fond of this new consort."

I don’t know whether Hu Weiyong is.

In fact, he admired Wang Buli quite a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted Tu Jie to come forward to help Wang Buli and include him in the Huaixi Group's system.

I have to admit that the emperor has the ability to recognize people.

Let's not talk about solving the case, just say that killing the messenger in the street is not something ordinary people can do.

The envoy sent by the Ryukyu Kingdom to plead guilty just arrived two days ago, asking the Ming Dynasty to be more lenient. It was entirely because the wife's brother was ignorant that he dared to do evil in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that he was killed by the suzerain kingdom in accordance with the Ming Dynasty law, the Ryukyu kingdom leader did not dare to do anything wrong, and had to take the initiative to write a letter admitting that the killing was good.

All the mistakes were made because he was unclear about the choice of the leader of the country. I originally wanted him to go to the Ming Dynasty to see a thing and gain experience, but Ryukyu had no intention of going against the Ming Dynasty.

I hope the sovereign country will not be blamed.

After all, after the ships of the Ming Dynasty followed the envoys to Ryukyu, they went to Japan with people who were familiar with the waterways.

Just because the suzerain country sent an envoy to question him, the leader of the Ryukyu Kingdom was so frightened that he quickly got down from the throne to plead guilty.

You must know that Ryukyu's power is now divided into three, and it is not a complete country at all.

"That's what he deserves." Hu Weiyong pinched his beard and looked at Wang Buli riding a tall horse, and couldn't help laughing:

"If I could be appreciated by someone at my age, how happy would our life be?"

Hu Weiyong knew how he came to power, so he still gave gold to Li Shanchang, and then he had a chance to climb up for the sake of his fellow countrymen.

Of course, Hu Weiyong has now replaced Li Shanchang, and he has become the leader of the Huaixi Group.

"I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with me, but it turned out to be different. I was a young man traveling."

Chen Ning pinched his beard and sighed.

Wang Buli was able to gain the emperor's attention at such a young age, which really made them envious.

It’s great to be young!
A group of senior ministers in high positions were here talking about the proud things of young people.

The wedding team was chattering all the way.

Zhu Mingxiu got up early to wash up. At this time, he had finished dressing up. He was holding a fan in his hand. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.

She held the fan tightly with her fingers. After tonight, she would call the prince her husband.

"Princess, please be at ease, the consort is passing through the palace gate."

"Princess, the consort has arrived at the main entrance, but he was stopped by the ladies."

The maids have been giving orders to Zhu Mingxiu.

Relying on the power of the two princes, the maids of honor all dispersed, not daring to stop them, and retreated with the small packets given by the Prince Consort in their hands.

But a group of noble concubines stood at the entrance of the palace, looking at Wang Buli up and down.

On the day of Lao Zhu's birthday party, who attracted the most attention was naturally Wang Buli, who was sitting next to the emperor. They had already seen Wang Buli's appearance.

I have to say that Wang Buli, who was in Jifu on the ship at this time, looked passable.

Wang Buli looked at these carefully dressed concubines, and he was a little suspicious. These women were all quite beautiful.

How perseverant Lao Zhu is. He has no interest in indulging in women, but he should only have more children.

It can only be seen from the side that Lao Zhu's body is really strong.

After the abolition of the prime minister system, he carried the original errands of the prime minister on his shoulders for so many years, and he did not delay the birth of children with his concubines at all.

Concubine Hu Chong immediately called her son over, leaving Wang Buli alone.

At this time, Concubine Guo came forward with a smile on her face:

"Buli, we all like the mahjong you presented. Some of my sisters also read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that you recommended. I heard that you wrote a good poem that is famous all over the world.

You are getting married today, so it is not difficult to write a song, right? "

Wang Buli said, "I don't know how to write. I have to think carefully before copying."

"What's the problem, my dear? It's too difficult and I can't do it."

"Hahaha."

Wang Buli's words made many concubines burst into laughter. The young man was so smart.

Otherwise, how could he be so valued by the emperor?

"Princess, Princess Guo asked the prince-in-law to write a poem before letting him in."

"what?"

Zhu Mingxiu was a little worried, but when he thought that Wang Buli had written a world-famous poem for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he became vaguely looking forward to it.

"Princess, don't worry, I believe in the talent of the consort." Xiaohua encouraged her from the side.

Zhu Biao and his younger brothers stood aside and watched Wang Buli break through here.

The palace maids were just side dishes, this is the main event.

Concubine Guo Hui didn’t mean to make things difficult, she just said:

"It's natural for a man to be more domineering, not to mention that you are marrying a girl from the Tian family, so you can use this as your theme."

When Zhu Di heard this question, as a semi-literate person, he could only think of what a real man should be like.

If I ask him to write poems, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. If he wants to help Wang Bu plow, he is really powerless.

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he was looking forward to whether Wang Buli could write a domineering poem.

The second and third children all held their hands and watched the show. They didn't know why their father was so optimistic about Wang Buli, but now that they saw Wang Buli thinking deeply, they were even more interested in watching the show.

Although the ministers went to work when they should, Zhu Yuanzhang was also sitting in the main hall, waiting for Wang Buli to enter.

After all, marrying a daughter is a big deal.

Empress Ma smiled when she heard this question: "If Bu Li can't explain it, people will chatter about it for a lifetime."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said, "You don't have to worry about this. This kid still has some talent."

"But the poem that my son-in-law wrote for The Romance of the Three Kingdoms may have been brewing for a long time. How many people in the world can have Cao Zijian's talent of writing a poem in seven steps?"

Empress Ma wanted to help her son-in-law out of the siege, but Zhu Yuanzhang still held her hand. He also wanted to weigh in on his son-in-law.

"If Bu Li can't think of it in a short time, he can just say half of it."

Concubine Guo Huifei gave Wang Buli another step. As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wang Buli snap his fingers:

"Have it!"
