Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

In Chunhe Palace, Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at Chang and said with a smile.

Looks like you're in a good mood.

Because of the impact of the sins committed by Lu and a series of events such as Lu's punishment, by this time, all had basically disappeared.

Others may not be able to feel this, but Chang, his wife, can sense it.

Although Chang's personality is generally carefree.

But for the people and things she really cares about, sometimes she is still pretty good.

"Okay, husband, let's go together."

It's been a while since I last visited my second sister and her husband.

I really miss them.”

Chang agreed to this matter immediately.

Firstly, this is my husband, who invited me personally, and my husband is usually busy with government affairs.

There are so many things to deal with that we rarely have time to spend with each other.

We are going to my second brother-in-law's house together today, so we can spend more time together.

It's a very good opportunity.

Secondly, she really wanted to meet her second sister and her husband.

She always had great enthusiasm for going there.

I feel particularly comfortable getting along with my second sister and her husband.

There is no need to think too much, just do what you should do.

This is a kind of comfort that cannot be experienced in the palace.

Now Zhu Xiongying is not young anymore, almost one year old, and can be taken out.

Unlike before when she was too young and had to stay in the palace with someone to accompany her.

After Chang agreed immediately, he quickly went to pack up.

He immediately came out holding Zhu Xiongying.

It was very fast and it didn't even take a quarter of an hour.

She didn't try to dress herself up too elaborately.

Just a little dressing up.

From this we can see the difference between Chang's personality and Lu's personality.

Lu always dresses herself very exquisitely on weekdays.

If you go out, you will dress more carefully.

But Chang didn't pay much attention to these things, thinking it was unnecessary.

Soon, the group left Chunhe Palace and headed towards Shuangshui Village...

This news soon reached Zhu Yuanzhang.

After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

He knew his family's whereabouts and would definitely go to Shuangshui Village.

You don't have to worry too much about this matter.

What's going on now? Biao'er is gone!
It seems that this bastard Mei Yin is going to be named Shuangshui Earl this time.

He is worthy of the title of Shuangshui Earl!
In fact, to be honest, it would be okay to give Mei Yin the title of Shuangshui Hou.

But he is still too young after all.

If he was given the title of Shuangshui Hou, it would be a bit too ostentatious.

As the saying goes, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

It is certainly gratifying to become famous at a young age, but it is not good to be too much in the spotlight, as it will easily make people hate you.

Of course, in addition to this, there is one most important aspect, that is, Mei Yin, this bastard, although he has made great contributions.

However, many of them cannot be brought out at all.

I can't say that he died admonishing me and that he did a great job, right?
Doesn’t he, as an emperor, have any respect?

So some things can only be arranged this way.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang looked calm and composed at this time.

But in reality, after waiting for such a long time, Zhu Biao did not take any action.

He couldn't help it and wanted to call Biaoer to urge him.
Fortunately, I managed to hold back in the end.

Otherwise, if you don't keep your cool.

I can’t maintain my dignity as an old father anymore…

……

In Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin is feeding pigs.

He has a passion for feeding pigs that is hard for most people to imagine.

After all, in his opinion, this is the most valuable reward given to him by the Death Remonstrance System from the beginning to now.

Most other rewards are one-time.

But this can only be made stronger by feeding pigs, and it is permanent.

As long as you feed the pigs yourself, there is a certain chance that you will trigger the function of feeding the pigs and become stronger, thus getting some rewards.

This thing couldn't be better.

And now, the Rongchang pig has grown into a full grown size.

Mei Yin has fifteen Rongchang pigs.

The reason for this was that another old sow also gave birth to piglets.

The piglets it gave birth to were also bred using the seeds of Rongchang pigs.

The first batch of piglets were only about two months old, but now they are as big as piglets born by ordinary pigs and are half a year old.

From this we can see how great the advantages of Rongchang pigs are.

While feeding the pigs, Mei Yin was constantly thinking about things in his mind.

What he was thinking about was how to make Zhu Yuanzhang listen to his advice, and after his death, make him face up to the problem of Baochao, and come up with a suitable way to solve the problem of Baochao.

It is easy to raise questions, but it is a little difficult to propose solutions to problems.

He needed to come up with a feasible way to replace the treasure notes in today's Ming Dynasty.

In this way, after he made his death-defying remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang would listen to his death-defying remonstrance and start to deal with the issue of Baochao.

If no corresponding solution can be thought of, even if I talk a lot, Zhu Yuanzhang will deeply realize the harm of Baochao.

However, until a suitable solution is found, the Ming Dynasty still needs to continue using Baochao.

Even if it means drinking poison to quench thirst, we must continue.

After some thought and failing to come up with any good ideas, his thoughts turned to the brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang.

He has now received the news that both the brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang have been captured.

The whole family was beheaded.

Mei Yin was not surprised by the news.

After all, he had known long before that Wu Liang and the others would not live long.

The only thing that surprised him was that Zhu Yuanzhang acted so quickly.

And it's so neat and clean.

Not only were Wu Zhen and Wu Liang killed, but their entire families were also sent away.

I can only say that this is worthy of being Boss Zhu!

He is really skillful when he starts working.

Originally, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would give Wu Zhen and Wu Liang some dignity because of their status, and only kill them and leave their families behind.

However, he didn't expect that Lao Zhu's attack would be more fierce than he expected.

In addition, there was another thing that made Mei Yin feel particularly shocked and curious.

The thing is, how did the fourth brother Zhu Di, with only such a small number of people, come to Wu Zhen’s base camp and capture Wu Zhen and many naval forces preparing for the Japanese invasion?

This is really not something that ordinary people can do.

He really deserves to be called the Fourth Brother, the Great General who conquered the North in history!
Every move is extraordinary!
While he was thinking about these things, Dahuang, who had already grown to half-grown, barked twice.

Then it ran out in a flash, wagging its tail, jumping and capering.

It was obvious that someone familiar had come.

Mei Yin turned around and saw that Crown Prince Zhu Biao had already appeared at the door.

She was holding a chubby baby in her arms.

Standing beside him was the Crown Princess Chang.

"Brother, sister-in-law!"

When Mei Yin saw them show up, he immediately shouted with joy.

Come with a surprise.

Mei Yin had a really good impression of Zhu Biao.

I was particularly happy to see him coming.

This is not just because the prince has a special status. He is the current prince and also his elder brother-in-law.

More importantly, after spending all this time together, he has determined that Zhu Biao, his brother-in-law, is particularly qualified and a person worthy of respect.

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Princess Ningguo had also heard the noise by now and came over with a smile.

He also seemed very happy.

Mei Yin took the fat baby Zhu Xiongying from his elder brother Zhu Biao.

You know what, it’s quite substantial.

"Xiong Ying has grown up very fast. I haven't seen him for just over a month, but now he feels heavy again when I hold him in my arms!"

Mei Yin said with a chuckle, reaching out and gently touching Xiongying's little face.

"Xiongying, call me uncle. If you call me uncle, I will make delicious food for you and make candy figures for you!"

Mei Yin felt close to the little child in her arms.

This chubby and tiger-like appearance is very popular.

Mei Yin also knew that he had a special identity as he was the eldest grandson of the Ming emperor.

If in the original history, he could survive and become the emperor.

It is very likely that history will take a big turn there.

So many things that happened later wouldn’t have happened.

There will also be no more incidents like Zhu Yunwen with a flat head.

Now that Lu is dead, the person who posed the greatest threat to Zhu Xiongying is gone.

In this way, Zhu Xiongying should be able to grow up healthily.

Mei Yin felt very close to Zhu Xiongying in his arms.

It's not just that he looks cute and chubby.

Also because he is the son of my eldest brother and his wife.

At the same time, he also shoulders some of Mei Yin's expectations.

After Zhu Xiongying grows up for another two years, he will be able to have more contact with Zhu Xiongying.

Perhaps, we can teach Zhu Xiongying some things so that he can be exposed to new things and corresponding new concepts from an early age.

In this way, it can be ensured that the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty will not resist this new thing.

It is conducive to the promotion of various things.

Thanks to the efforts of three generations of people, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Xiongying, many of the things they created can be continued after I came to this era.

After several decades of development, many things have already been determined and it is difficult to go back.

Will keep going.

Besides, I am very young now, not even twenty years old.

Even if Zhu Xiongying got married and had children at the age of 20, he was only in his 40s at that time.

If possible, I can teach Zhu Xiongying's son in the future.

If possible, wouldn't it be possible to teach Zhu Xiongying's grandson, or even great-grandson in the future?

After several generations, there were emperors who had a special liking for these new things.

It would be hard for the Ming Dynasty not to prosper!

The Ming Dynasty will inevitably embark on the path of industrial Ming Dynasty.

There won't be any recurrence.

Under such circumstances, how could Mei Yin not treat this little person in his arms well?

Zhu Xiongying was not at all shy towards Mei Yin.

Although he had only met Mei Yin twice in total, now, after Mei Yin took him and held him in his arms, he did not struggle at all.

After Mei Yin teased him, he soon grinned and started to giggle.

With a few white little milk teeth showing, it is particularly attractive.

But my uncle didn't shout, he was really too young...

"This child is close to you."

Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin and said with a smile, with some joy.

He was also very happy to see that his second brother-in-law and Xiongying got along well.

A few people walked into the courtyard while chatting and laughing.

By this time, the new home of Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo had been completely built.

It is actually available for move-in now.

But to be on the safe side, Mei Yin decided to wait for some time and move into the newly built villa at the end of the year.

In this way, the air can be thoroughly ventilated.

Try to avoid harmful things.

He and Yourong have been married for some time.

The two have a very good relationship and live a sweet life.

I have never taken any proactive measures.

Everything is natural.

In other words, Princess Ningguo could become pregnant at any time.

Maybe now, there is already a little life in the making.

It just hasn't appeared yet.

Under such circumstances, Mei Yin must be extremely cautious and try his best to minimize all risks.

Zhu Xiongying is curious about everything happening here.

Especially after seeing a batch of new furry chicks hatching from their shells, I was so happy.

He struggled to get out of Mei Yin's arms.

Stood there and watched.

After a while, he staggered forward and stretched out his hand to catch one to play with.

"Don't worry, let's let your uncle catch it for you."

Mei Yin said with a smile.

“Second brother-in-law, don’t pamper him so much, this little chicken is not easy to catch.

Besides, the old hen is also protective of her chicks, so she won’t peck you.”

As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, Mei Yin had already made a move and caught a little chick in his hand.

The other hand was even quicker and covered the old hen and some other chicks in the chicken coop.

Now the old hen can't get out.

Mei Yin brought the little chick to Zhu Xiongying, who laughed with joy.

And reached out to touch the chick.

Looks particularly happy.

However, Mei Yin did not let Zhu Xiongying play for long.

He was only allowed to play with the chick for a while, and then the chick was let go.

Let it reunite with the old hen and the rest of the chicks.

Otherwise the little chicken will keep calling there.

Zhu Biao saw all of Mei Yin's actions and was shocked.

My second brother-in-law is really good at this, and his moves are quick and neat. Although he only caught a little chicken, he can see a lot from it.

But if it were on the battlefield, or if he were fighting against others, his second brother-in-law was not someone that ordinary people could deal with.

It seems that my second brother-in-law has been farming and feeding pigs here and has not done anything else.

In fact, he did not neglect his martial arts skills.

It even seems to be stronger than before.

"Brother, let's go inside and have some tea."

Putting the chick on the ground, Mei Yin looked at Zhu Biao and said with a smile.

Zhu Biao said, "Don't worry, there is something important to do.

It’s not too late to drink tea after finishing your work.”

Mei Yin didn't find it strange to hear Zhu Biao say this.

After all, Zhu Biao was a very busy man, and he was not called the executive vice emperor for nothing.

There are many things to do every day.

Generally speaking, if there is nothing else, he seldom comes to Shuangshui Village.

It is normal to have some serious business to do now that you are here.

He was just a little curious and wondered what the big brother was here for this time.
While thinking this, Zhu Biao had already asked someone to bring the things over.

He took out an imperial edict from it and opened it.

Seeing this, Princess Ningguo, who was standing nearby, immediately pulled Mei Yin together to bow and receive the imperial edict.

Although we are all family, we still have to distinguish between different occasions.

Sometimes when we encounter formal occasions, we must observe all the necessary etiquette.

After Zhu Biao saw that they were ready, he said:

The emperor was sent to heaven to carry the order, and the edict said:
The son-in-law Mei Yin has made many great contributions, cultivated good breeds, and nurtured our people... I specially confer the title of Shuangshui Earl on him!

Admire this! "

After Zhu Biao finished reading, he closed the edict and looked at Mei Yin with a smiling face.

After hearing the contents of the edict, Mei Yin seemed a little dazed.

What a surprise!
The content of this edict was something he had never expected.

Before this, no matter what he thought, he had never imagined that the so-called business of Crown Prince Zhu Biao's visit was to reward him and make him an earl.

From now on... I will also be a person with a title?
Mei Yin also has some understanding of this title.

At that time in the Ming Dynasty, there were three levels of nobility, namely duke, marquis, and earl.

Although earl is the lowest rank, it is extremely difficult to be conferred an earl title.

Among those who hold titles today, except for some who have a particularly close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, which one has not made many contributions?
This was during the founding period when large numbers of fiefs were distributed.

After the founding of the country, there were not many major wars to fight after rewards were given according to merit.

It would be even more difficult to obtain a title.

Zhu Yuanzhang exercised strict control in this regard.

As a result, now, he was unexpectedly conferred the title of Shuangshui Earl.

Of course, what surprised Mei Yin even more was that in his imagination, Zhu Yuanzhang should have hated him to death a long time ago.

Although he knew his own value, he really didn't like me because he had repeatedly made desperate appeals to him.

In this situation, it's already pretty good if you can avoid doing anything excessive to yourself.

How could he possibly confer a title on himself?

This was something he had never thought of before.

As a result, now, the reward has arrived.

Princess Ningguo was surprised and happy, her nose felt sore and her eye sockets felt hot!
With her status, she naturally wouldn't think that a small earldom title was so precious.

After all, she is the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty.

Her father and mother are both people of the highest status in the Ming Dynasty.

But now she was just excited.

Because this title means a lot to her.

Because this is not just a count, it also represents the recognition of her father and her husband.

This significance is the most important.

She was very clear about how much her husband had done for the Ming Dynasty over these years.

And in order to do these things, my husband has made so many sacrifices.

It is no exaggeration to say that her husband devoted his entire life to the Ming Dynasty and worked until his death.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, my husband really dared to make desperate appeals to our father again and again, even risking his life.

Although her father had never really done anything to her husband.

However, Princess Ningguo was also a little worried, fearing that her father would dislike her husband because of this.

Now, with the arrival of her elder brother, who read out the imperial edict conferring the title of Marquis of Shuangshui on her husband, all the worries in her heart disappeared at once!
My father did not hate my husband!

Although the husband was often furious because of his husband's death advice.

She seemed to dislike her husband and kept swearing at him.

But in fact, I also have a scale in my heart, thinking about the good things about my husband.

He remembers all these contributions of his husband.

This is the most important thing to her!

There is a special feeling of finally seeing the full moon after the clouds have cleared.

I feel that all the hard work my husband has put in these days has not been in vain.

Chang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao looked at this scene and smiled.

I feel happy and cheerful for my second brother-in-law from the bottom of my heart.

"Second brother-in-law, come and take this imperial edict."

Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Handed the edict to Mei Yin.

Mei Yin was somewhat stunned.

Under Zhu Biao's repeated urging, he reached out and took it.

It just feels a bit dreamy and unreal.

Old Zhu's move was really beyond his expectations!
It was completely beyond his expectation.

"Congratulations, second brother-in-law, congratulations, second brother-in-law!"

Zhu Biao and Chang congratulated Mei Yin.

Then he took out another bag beside him and took out a set of clothes from it.

It is the special clothing and seal of the Earl.

All of these were replaced by Mei Yin.

After changing, Zhu Biao personally tidied up Mei Yin's clothes.

This treatment is unlike anything else that a knight can experience.

“Clothes like this look best on a young man like my second brother-in-law.

As expected, it’s better to become famous early! "

After Zhu Biao helped Mei Yin put on her clothes, he looked her up and down and couldn't help but praise her.

Mei Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Brother, I haven't accomplished anything.

What's the reason for being conferred a title?

This...isn't the reward a bit too big?"

Zhu Biao heard this and said, “Don’t be modest, my second brother-in-law.

We all know how great the contribution you have made is.

The emperor also knows everything.

The emperor particularly values ​​you, his second brother-in-law.

In fact, there is no need to say anything else. Just a sweet potato is enough to confer a title of nobility on you, my second brother-in-law!
Now I am only giving you, my second brother-in-law, the title of earl, which is really too low.

This is also because my father took into consideration that my second brother-in-law is still young, and it would be a bit eye-catching to confer a title of nobility at such a young age.

That's why my second brother-in-law was given the title of earl.

But rest assured, second brother-in-law, based on your contributions, you will definitely be granted a title of nobility when you get older!"

Zhu Biao is here to explain to Mei Yin.

He was afraid that Mei Yin would feel aggrieved because his father only conferred him the title of earl.

Mei Yin waved his hand and said, "Brother, I just did some things that I should do.

I don't deserve such praise from you, my father and elder brother.

Moreover, I also think that my father’s consideration is particularly good and makes a lot of sense.

I am indeed too young. Let alone being granted a title of nobility, I think even being granted a title of earl would be too conspicuous.

I don’t have any other ideals. I just want to farm and raise pigs here, and live my own life with Yourong.

The title of earl is really too great.

Otherwise... Big Brother, you should take it back.

After returning, I will have a good talk with my father and there will be no need for this title.

I’m not one to care about that.”

Mei Yin said this sincerely.

He really doesn't care much about these things.

He also felt that having the title might bring him some unnecessary troubles in the future, which would prevent him from farming and raising pigs here peacefully.

Although he is not afraid of trouble, he can solve it when he encounters it.

But it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble if possible.

Those things are upsetting.

How can it be better than doing whatever you want here?
Zhu Biao was somewhat confused by Mei Yin's attitude and the words he said.

My second brother-in-law is really unique.

If other people knew that they had received such a reward, they would be so happy that they would not know what to do.

As a result, my second brother-in-law actually complained that the title he was given was too high.

I also want to discuss whether we can get rid of this earl.

This... he really is worthy of being my second brother-in-law, he is just different.

While feeling a little confused, she also became more fond of her second brother-in-law.

What does it mean to be indifferent to fame and wealth, and to be calm and far-sighted?

What does it mean to be wholeheartedly devoted to the Ming Dynasty but not to yourself?

This is the kind of person my second brother-in-law is!

How lucky the Ming Dynasty is to have met someone like my second brother-in-law!
But the more this is the case, the more I cannot let my second brother-in-law suffer any loss!
Good people should be rewarded!
The greatest injustice is that good people do not get rewarded!

Zhu Biao then spoke again: "Second brother-in-law, just bear with this.

It is only natural that you, my second brother-in-law, be conferred the title of Earl.

My second brother-in-law doesn't have to worry about this matter being too publicized and what others will do to him.

Anyone who wants to do this needs to ask me first for my permission!"

Zhu Biao was a man who kept his promises. It was precisely because of this and his special status that he would not make promises easily.

Just like now, this is the first time that I have directly promised to help someone overcome all difficulties.

Only Mei Yin has this treatment.

I was so happy to hear my eldest brother-in-law say such things.

What else can Mei Yin do?
I can only accept all of these.

Thanks were expressed to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others.

"Brother, if that's the case, I'll keep the earldom.

Big Brother, you guys gave me too much!"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao smiled again and said, "That's right!

All you have to do is to take this earl down with peace of mind.

With your status and achievements, it is only natural for you to be made an earl, and no one can say no to that."

After settling this matter, Zhu Biao and Mei Yin went into the house to drink tea.

At this time, Princess Ningguo brought out a thick box of treasure banknotes from the house.

He walked out with a smile on his face, and distributed wedding money to the guards who had come with Zhu Biao, the villagers of Shuangshui Village, the prince's personal army of a hundred households, the old soldiers of Li Jinglong's family, and many other people.

My husband has become an earl, which is the recognition of my father.

It is also a recognition of the contributions made by her husband.

She was really happy.

Therefore, he is particularly generous!
Each person received a banknote with a face value of one tael, which made everyone extremely happy.

Congratulations here.

Originally, these people here had great respect for Mei Yin.

After learning that Mei Yin was conferred the title of Earl, everyone was happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.

At this time, he was even more delighted by Princess Ningguo's generosity.

Congratulations are endless!
Originally according to Mei Yin's idea, he was somewhat resistant to these things and didn't really want them.

At this time, even though he became an earl, he felt that there was nothing to be happy about.

But at this moment, I heard the noise outside.
I am so happy to see my young wife so happy again.

So he didn't say much.

After he finished drinking most of the tea in the cup in two or three gulps, he said something to Zhu Biao.

He got up and went outside to meet and greet everyone.

My young wife is happy and I want to share the joy with everyone.

Then, as a husband, he must also give his young wife some face.

Zhu Biao took all of this into consideration and could understand why Mei Yin, his second brother-in-law, did this.

A broad smile appeared on his face.

The relationship between my second brother-in-law and my second sister is really good.

As the eldest brother, he was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.

Turning around to see Chang Fei, who was holding the sleeping Zhu Xiongying beside him, the smile on his face became even more intense.

He is not bad either, and he is also accompanied by his childhood sweetheart...

At this moment, a group of people came to Shuangshui Village.

The leader had a dark face and was riding on a horse, looking very majestic.

This person is none other than Prince of Yan Zhu Di!
After seeing the commotion here, Zhu Di seemed a little curious.

Why does it look so lively here at the second brother-in-law's place in Shuangshui Village this time?
He rode forward immediately and soon found out the reason.

I was suddenly surprised and happy.

Very good!
It turned out that it was the eldest brother who came here!

If I had known that big brother would come today, I would have come with him!

The most important thing is that my brother actually did such a big thing when he came here this time!

The second brother-in-law was named the Earl of Shuangshui!

This is a great thing.
He was sincerely happy that his second brother-in-law was conferred the title of earl.

He also felt that his second brother-in-law deserved to be made a marquis, let alone an earl, given his contributions!

"Hahaha, second brother-in-law! Congratulations!"

Zhu Di came to the front and congratulated Mei Yin after seeing her. He even asked Princess Ningguo for money as a gift, looking very happy...

After the hustle and bustle, the place finally seemed quiet.

Mei Yin took a sip of tea, looked at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth brother, how did you manage to take down Wu Zhen and the others with just such a small number of people?"

Hearing Mei Yin ask this question, Chang and the others also looked over, looking very curious...
