Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Zhu Liangzu scoffed at this matter.

I don't believe it from the bottom of my heart.

I think Zhu Yuanzhang is just talking nonsense.

There must be a lot of twists and turns in it.

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately exaggerated here in order to pave the way for Mei Yin.

This made him feel angry and unfair.

I feel that Zhu Yuanzhang is unfair.

It was extremely difficult for people like them to get a title at the beginning.

Who doesn't tie his head to his belt and fight hard?

But now, when it comes to Mei Yin, everything has changed.

Because of a sweet potato, he was suddenly made earl.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang even exaggerated the sweet potato production to an outrageous level.

In order to get this guy Mei Yin conferred a title, he even lost his dignity!
Not only did he distrust Zhu Yuanzhang, he also disliked Mei Yin very much.

Of course, there was another reason why he disliked Mei Yin.

That is, ever since the incident at the Lantern Festival dinner came to light.

He always thought Mei Yin was a complete joke.

He has seen Mei Yin make fun of him quite a lot these days.

He felt that Mei Yin was far inferior to his son.

Who could have thought that such news would come out suddenly.

He was stunned and greatly shocked.

It turns out that Mei Yin is not a joke, his son is the biggest joke!

Many people can't stand seeing others do better than they do.

What he couldn't bear to see in particular was that someone who he originally regarded as a joke suddenly became very successful.

This kind of thing makes people feel even more uncomfortable.

That's why Zhu Liangzu treated Mei Yin in this way.

"Dad... isn't that a bit too much?
Your Majesty is not a person who likes to brag.

Since His Majesty has said so, I am afraid there is a great possibility that this is really the case..."

Zhu Liangzu's son Zhu Xian couldn't help but look at his father and speak, wanting to give him a reminder.

So that his father won’t suffer a great loss in the future.

His father would say he eats cow dung!

Zhu Liangzu snorted when he heard this and said, "What are you dissatisfied with?
That's how it is.

Don't think that being in a high position is so good and fair. He is shady in many things!
I'm not surprised at all that he did such a thing.

That's what I said.

Just wait and see if this is the case!"

Zhu Liangzu spoke with absolute certainty.

Zhu Xian thought about his father's status and position, and gradually believed what his father said.

After all, no matter what, my father has been doing things in a high position for a long time.

When it comes to getting to the top, my father definitely knows much more about it than I do.

My father must be absolutely sure about this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing as eating cow dung.
……

"Very good!

We can go out and have fun this time!"

A boy of about eleven or twelve years old in the palace spoke excitedly.

This person was Zhu Yuanzhang's seventh son, Zhu Gui, who was named King of Qi.

“Brother, it’s so much fun to harvest crops in the fields.

This time when we go out, I will take you to have fun!"

Zhu Yu patted his chest and said to his younger brother beside him.

Next to Zhu Yu was his younger brother, Zhu Zi, the eighth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was five years younger than him.

They are siblings.

They were all born to Concubine Da Ding.

This Concubine Dading was originally a concubine of Chen Youliang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang, he saw that Concubine Da Ding was very good-looking, so he kept her by his side.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang treated Empress Ma very well.

But he is also very honest.

Know who is beautiful.

In this process, you will also find some other people around you.

"Okay, okay!"

Lao Ba was full of cheers.

I am particularly looking forward to the next trip outside the palace.

Both of them think that their second brother-in-law is a very good person.

Fortunately, my second brother-in-law planted sweet potatoes.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to get such an opportunity to leave the palace.

"You two, don't be happy too soon.

When you really start working in the fields, you will suffer.

Do you really think working in the fields is that fun?
Very tiring! "

At this moment, a woman's voice rang out.

A woman dressed in palace makeup looked at the two of them and spoke in a doting tone.

This woman has a perfect appearance and figure.

Very charming.

Especially that big butt, like a big peach.

She deserves this title.

It is easy to wonder whether Zhu Yuanzhang named her the Concubine Da Ding because she had this characteristic...

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a special feeling here.

"Mom, I'm not afraid! I'm already a man.

What are those sufferings?"

Lao Qi raised his face and said, full of confidence.

"Mother, I'm not afraid either."

Lao Ba also patted his chest and started talking.

It's like a small repeater.

When Concubine Dading heard her two sons say this, she couldn't help but smile.

This is her son.

“Then when you go this time, perform well.

Don't be afraid of hardship or fatigue, just work hard.

Let your father and the others see how good you are!"

Concubine Da Ding spoke up, stroking their two little heads.

He seemed to be in a very good mood.

There were some things that Concubine Dading did not tell them.

That is to let them perform well and strive to surpass their older brothers!
This is about what the second, third, fourth and fifth brothers experienced when they were brought to Fengyang.

She had also heard of it.

I am still quite envious of this.

I think the sons born to Empress Ma are all pretty good.

I also want my son to do something outstanding.

Moreover, she felt that her son would definitely be exceptionally outstanding.

The reason why he was not well-known before was because his son was too young.

The trip to Fengyang did not yield any reward.

Otherwise, with her son's excellence, he would have also shined in that operation.

Her son is no worse than the son born to Queen Ma!
Fortunately, this time, I got a good opportunity.

Then she must want her own son. Show it well.

Mother is more valuable than her son.

If her son does well, his performance will be eye-catching.

Then, as a mother, she will also feel proud.

From now on, you will have confidence in what you say and do.

The idea of ​​replacing Queen Ma and becoming the master of the harem.

She was just thinking this in her heart.

She will immediately put it behind her and give up this unrealistic fantasy.

She knew too well how powerful Queen Ma was.

It is also clear how deep the relationship between him and Zhu Yuanzhang is.

As long as Empress Ma is alive, her position as the master of the harem cannot be shaken by anyone.

But...some things are still worth thinking about.

For example, what happened after Empress Ma died.

Empress Ma was more than ten years older than her.

Normally speaking, it’s up to you whether you live or not.

Now that Empress Ma is gone, someone will be needed to take charge of the harem.

It's impossible to make a mess of the harem.

So in this situation, if you usually perform well, your son will also perform well.

Then... isn't this my chance?
Now, there was only one concubine, Hu Chong, left in the palace, ranking ahead of her.

This guy is Lao Liu’s mother.

However...she has never taken Concubine Hu Chong seriously.

In her opinion, Concubine Hu Chong was a fool.

Not good in every aspect.

It's far worse than myself.

Her son, Laoliu, is also no match for her own son!

Besides, Concubine Hu Chong only gave birth to one son, but she gave birth to two.

If we just compare them individually, none of the six children of Concubine Hu Chong can compare to his own son.

Not to mention that his two sons are better than him.

Concubine Hu Chong is such a fool. She is far inferior to me in both intelligence and beauty!

I still can't compare to my son.

Then under this situation, when I face her in the future, won’t I be sure to win?
Especially at this time, after seeing the performance of his two precious sons, he became even happier.

Feeling sure of victory.

My own son, he really makes me proud!
"Okay, then you should behave well this time.

If you perform well, I will give you a big reward when you come back!"

Hearing what their mother said, the seventh and eighth brothers were very excited.

I think they really made a fortune this time!

My second brother-in-law is such a good man!
If it weren’t for the second brother-in-law who made this sweet potato, they really wouldn’t have been able to get such a good opportunity!
Not only can he go out of the palace to play, but he can also receive such praise from his mother.

After they come back, they can be rewarded.

It’s just great!
My second brother-in-law is such a good man!
The seven and eight brothers were so excited!

He immediately assured his mother that they would not do anything rash next time.

I will definitely do things well.
Princess Da Ding's face was all smiles.

Steady!

This time, things are completely settled!

I have two such good sons. What can Hu Chongfei's idiot use to fight for me in the future?
From now on, if Queen Ma is gone, I will definitely be the one with the final say in the harem, and no one else will have the final say!

As long as you perform well, it doesn't matter even if Queen Ma is still around.

I can also become the second most important person in the palace!

Just thinking about this kind of thing made her feel excited.

At the same time, I also feel that Mei Yin is a pretty good farmer and pig farmer.

Although it's a bit cheap.

But it gave his two sons such a good opportunity.

She had no doubts about whether her son would be able to behave well outside.

After all, these are her two sons, and she teaches them a lot on a daily basis, so they must be good!
Besides, Your Majesty said that we need to go there to dig sweet potatoes and do physical work.

But the seventh and eighth brothers are, after all, just children.

Even if they are asked to do some heavy work, they will definitely not be too tired.

Moreover, this time, His Majesty said that he would let all the ministers go to Shuangshui Village to harvest sweet potatoes.

With so many people going there, how can we really let these princes work?
Even if the princes were really asked to work, there would definitely be some ministers who would be smart enough to help their sons with the work.

Don't let them get too tired.

So no matter how you look at it, this time, we’re sure to win!
Now, she just waits for her son to become more and more outstanding so that she can successfully surpass Concubine Hu Chong and become the second most important person in the harem.

Then, he would wait quietly for Empress Ma to die, so that he could dominate the harem alone!
Even if there was no way for Zhu Yuanzhang to make her the queen, she could still become the number one person in the harem after the death of Emperor Ma!
The seventh and eighth brothers, as well as their mother, Concubine Da Ding, were all very happy and satisfied about this event.

I think this is a stage for them...

……

No... so many people came?!
In Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin started building a greenhouse.

At this time, part of the greenhouse frame has been set up.

And some of the glass he needed was also fired.

So at this time, he was installing glass on it.

It was also under such circumstances that he received the news from Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

After receiving this news, Mei Yin was a little confused.

What's going on?
I just called my brother-in-law Zhu Biao to come and harvest the sweet potatoes.

Then he called his father-in-law, Lao Zhu, to come and help with the work.

Caught two free laborers.

After harvesting the sweet potatoes, he also gave a last-ditch appeal to his father-in-law, Lao Zhu, and talked about the treasure banknotes.

Let him correct the treasure notes quickly to avoid causing a greater disaster.

Who would have thought that the message Zhu Biao sent was this!
Not only my brother-in-law, but also Lao Zhu and the other two came.

Old Zhu, the father-in-law, even directly ordered all the civil and military officials in the court, including his children, to come to his side to harvest sweet potatoes...

No...what is the father-in-law Lao Zhu doing?
How could he do that?
Is he bringing people here directly to do team building?
While doing team building, he also asked his sons to come to his place to reminisce about the good old days?

Mei Yin seemed somewhat confused.

Especially when he remembered that he was going to die to remonstrate with Old Zhu, he became even more confused.

I'm a little unsure.

With Old Zhu acting like this, how can I continue to make a last-ditch appeal to him?

Originally, I was going to take on this mission of dying for advice.

I thought that the next time I saw Lao Zhu, I would continue to make a last-ditch appeal to him and get the job done.

Even if you fail, it's not bad to just get some rewards for failure.

But who could have imagined that this time, Zhu Yuanzhang would bring all the civil and military officials in the court with him!

Then...under this circumstance, should I still make a death-defying appeal to Zhu Yuanzhang?
If I were to die, this scene would be a bit too grand...

It was even more exciting than his last protest to Zhu Yuanzhang at the Lantern Festival dinner.

Can Lao Zhu bear it?

If Lao Zhu really couldn't stand it and killed himself in a rage, that would be the best thing to do.

One hundred.

What Mei Yin is worried about now is that Old Zhu can't stand it anymore and is mad at him, but he just doesn't want to kill him.

Being stuck in this state of being neither up nor down is what makes people feel the most uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, he silently opened the Death Advice System and started watching.

I want to see if there is any room for change in this matter.

For example, the next time you meet Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be a good idea to give him a death-defying remonstrance.

But after opening it and studying it carefully, I found that things were not the case at all.

The system shows that the mission will be completed only if you meet Zhu Yuanzhang this time and make a death-defying remonstrance to him.

If you miss it, then the mission of making a desperate remonstrance against the treasure banknotes will disappear.

It will never appear again.

If you continue to make a death-defying remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang on this matter, you will not receive any mission rewards. In other words, if you fail, you will get nothing.

This really angered Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so angry that he couldn't help but kill himself.

That would be a waste of life.

After some research and seeing these.

For a moment, Mei Yin didn't know what to say.

This system... is it so tricky?

How can you cheat someone to death like this!
Can't you be flexible?

You can't play it like this!

After some thought, Mei Yin finally decided to continue to make a last-ditch appeal to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because if I really think about it carefully, it seems that there is a great possibility that I will be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang this time!

Originally, after my previous death admonition against this guy Lao Zhu, I could basically say that I had become immune to these things.

As long as there is a staircase, Zhu Yuanzhang will go down.

When there is no stair, he will even create one himself.

But when he was making the death appeal, there were many people present besides those present at the first Lantern Festival dinner.

On the other occasions, there were only a few familiar people present.

But this time, if he were to make a death remonstrance against him again, it would be the entire court of civil and military officials who would come to protest!
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely exciting to give him a life-threatening advice.

There is a high probability that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to bear it and would kill himself in public.

In this way, the matter is complete.

When that time comes, whether I choose to return to the afterlife or stay in the Ming Dynasty, it will be a wonderful thing.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't kill me under such circumstances, I would still be able to get the reward for failure.

It's also very good.

After some psychological preparation, Mei Yin immediately made up his mind and did it! !

Originally, he thought that as he made more and more death-defying remonstrations and lived longer and longer in the Ming Dynasty.

The possibility of giving advice to Zhu Yuanzhang and being killed by him is really too small.

Who would have thought that, without making any noise, the system would actually cause such a big problem for itself!

This is really unexpected!

'Old Zhu, father-in-law...Originally, I didn't want to do this.

But who could have thought that you would suddenly bring all the civil and military officials in the court to my place for team building.

This is your own idea, you can't blame yourself...

After making this decision, Mei Yin muttered to himself.

At the same time, he couldn't help but start to imagine whether he would choose to return to the afterlife after death, or continue to stay in the Ming Dynasty and wait for resurrection one day.

From then on, I reached the peak of my life...

After some general thought, Mei Yin quickly stopped the work of building the greenhouse.

Ordered the taverns and teahouses in the village to purchase more food and other items.

To prepare for Zhu Yuanzhang and many others to come to Shuangshui Village...

After making these arrangements, Mei Yin called Princess Ningguo into the house.

"Yourong, let me tell you something."

Mei Yin looked at Princess Ningguo and spoke, his expression seeming somewhat serious.

There was also some hesitation.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Princess Ningguo looked at him and said, "My husband, do you want to make a death-defying remonstrance to our father again?"

Princess Ningguo looked at Mei Yin and spoke.

"Yourong, you know everything?"

Princess Ningguo smiled and said, "How could I not know? Father will be here again soon.

According to convention, how could you, my husband, not give a life-threatening remonstrance to your father?
If you don't tell me, I can't help but want to ask you. "

After hearing what his young wife said, Mei Yin didn't know what to say for a moment.

It turns out that my wife already knows all of this...

"My husband, what are you going to do to your father this time?"

Princess Ningguo looked at Mei Yin and asked.

Mei Yin said: "It's about the treasure notes.

I have already told my elder brother a lot about this matter before.

Let my eldest brother talk to our father about this matter. This matter is very serious.

If we do not take it seriously, it will inevitably cause endless disasters in the future.

After all, this money affects thousands of households.

Which household across the country doesn’t need money?

Originally, I didn't want to make a death-defying appeal to my father about this matter.

But judging from the current situation, if I don't make a life-threatening remonstration, my father will not listen at all.

So I can only make a death-defying remonstrance to my father..."

"My husband, this... the treasure notes promoted by my father, are they really so harmful?"

Princess Ningguo asked.

Mei Yin nodded and said, "The harm is simply too great.

It won’t be long before the treasure notes will become less and less valuable.

By then, it will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences.”

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Princess Ningguo, who originally wanted to persuade Mei Yin to make a death-defying remonstration to her father at another time, gave up the idea.

Since this matter is so serious, if my husband wants to make a death-defying appeal, then let him do it.

It seemed that these things were really just as her husband said.

For many things, if the husband does not give his father a life-long remonstrance, the father really will not listen.

Just like the current situation, that's the case.

And what my husband said is also very right. The matter of Baochao is really different from other things.

Although other things may have a great impact, they only affect people in a certain area.

Even if the area is large, it usually does not rise to a national issue.

But the matter of Baochao is completely different.

Money is needed in every aspect.

Through the issuance of these treasure notes, thousands of households were truly included.

This is something extremely important that concerns every household and even every individual. If something really goes wrong with it.

That would be truly catastrophic!

The consequences are simply unimaginable!
Princess Ningguo is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong.

Of course, the key is that after living together for so long, she already knows what kind of person her husband is.

Since this matter is so important, she will definitely support her husband.

Mei Yin embraced Princess Ningguo in his arms and smelled the fragrance of her hair.

I just felt an unusual peace in my heart.

And full of emotion.

At the same time, he was constantly thinking about how to make a last-ditch appeal to his father-in-law, Lao Zhu, this time.

Since I have decided to die for my advice, I must find ways to do this as well as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so furious that he killed himself.

In this way, there is a great possibility that I will be able to stay with my young wife for a longer period of time in the future.

The kind without disease or disaster.

It’s so comfortable!

……

In Shuangshui Village, things quickly became busy following Mei Yin's order.

Shuangshui Village at this time is very different from before.

Mei Yin's arrival brought too many changes to Shuangshui Village.

Not only Mei Yin built a big house, but now there are four families who have also started to build big houses!

One of them was the Zhao Jiachang family.

From this we can see how much wealth Mei Yin has brought here.

It has reached this level in less than a year.

It can be predicted that as time goes on, in three to five years, every household here will be able to renovate their houses.

Now, there are more places to stay and eat in Shuangshui Village.

It's not just the family at the entrance of the village, the ones guarding the intersection.

In addition to their family, several other families came out to do this.

Nowadays, Shuangshui Village is becoming more and more prosperous, with more and more people coming and going.

It's almost like a small market is forming here.

In addition to these people from the village, there are also some small vendors and peddlers who spontaneously gather in Shuangshui Village to sell their goods.

It seems very lively.

Originally, Shuangshui Village was not a place with a good geographical location.

The transportation is not convenient either.

But now, with the arrival of Mei Yin, this place has been changed abruptly.

This is what is called making the whole place prosperous with the power of one person.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang will lead all the civil and military officials here.

Then, the people doing business in Shuangshui Village will definitely make more money.

Mei Yin is definitely in charge of Lao Zhu's family's meals.

But it is impossible to ask him to manage the food of all the civil and military officials in the court.

We can only let them go to the restaurant in Shuangshui Village and solve the problem on their own.

Of course, if it was Zhu Yuanzhang who took the initiative to arrange food and lodging for these officials, that would be another story.

However, according to Mei Yin's understanding of Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu's stingy personality.

I'm afraid these officials will still have to find their own food and lodging...

"Second uncle, this is a great opportunity! I can make friends with all the civil and military officials in the court at once.

On our side, we need to arrange some people to take care of things next.

At least get the accommodation ready.

Also arrange the food.

It is a rare opportunity to make friends with all the civil and military officials in the court at once."

Li Jinglong quickly came to Mei Yin's side, looked at Mei Yin and said these words.

The whole person seemed a little excited.

In persuading Mei Yin to behave well
Hearing this, Mei Yin shook his head and said, "Jinglong, I don't want this opportunity.

These guys want to come over here and eat and drink for free, but how can it be so easy?
Let them take care of their own food and accommodation.

They come here to peel sweet potatoes, and we don't charge them any experience fee, which is already very good.

Still want to get free food and drinks?

No way! "

After hearing Mei Yin say this, Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment.

No...why is my second uncle's idea so strange?

Now, is it the time to be precious about that little bit of money?

Now is the best time to build good relations with civil and military officials!

If the food and accommodation are well arranged, there is no telling how many benefits it will bring in the future.

Now, my second uncle said such words?

What does my second uncle think?

In the past, my second uncle was not like this!

"Second uncle, free food and free drinks are not the point. The point is that this is a good opportunity to make friends with all the civil and military officials in the court."

Li Jinglong seemed a little anxious and spoke to Mei Yin.

He felt that his second uncle had not grasped the point this time.

Besides, my second uncle is very rich.

I don’t know how much I earn every day.

Now, taking care of the food and lodging of all officials is just a piece of cake.

A drop in the bucket.

Why not do it when you can get such great benefits at such a low cost?

Why can’t my second uncle figure out the accounts this time?

Mei Yin smiled and said, “Jinglong, I understand what you mean.

However, I don’t want to make friends with these officials.

I don’t want to pay too much attention to the ups and downs in the court.”

Li Jinglong was stunned again when he heard this.

“I just want to live a peaceful and stable life here in Shuangshui Village.

Ask nothing of them.

In this case, what's the point of me making friends with those officials?
Besides, I am the prince consort.

As a son-in-law, going to make friends with officials is not a good idea. "

Hearing Mei Yin say this, many thoughts quickly came to Li Jinglong's mind?
I think what my second uncle said is very right.

Yes!

How could I have forgotten about this?
Seeing that His Majesty was about to lead all the officials here, he thought this was a great opportunity.

But he forgot about his identity as his second uncle.

“Dealing with people is the most tiring thing.

Especially when dealing with those officials.

Many people's hair is empty, and I don't know how many twists and turns are contained in one sentence.

It’s better to have less contact with them.

To avoid intrigue and all that.

It’s a headache just thinking about it.

How can it be more comfortable than farming and feeding pigs here? "

Of course, there is one thing Mei Yin didn’t say.

That is the officials of the Hongwu Dynasty, many of whom died young.

If you interact with them, you may easily get implicated in the future if you are not careful.

For example, the famous cases such as the Hu Weiyong case, the Guo Huan case, and the Lan Yu case.

That would really implicate countless people.

Countless people were implicated.

If you interact with them, who knows if you might get dragged into it without realizing it?

If this were to happen, it would be too unfair!
Therefore, it is better for all officials to ignore it if possible.

Anyway, Mei Yin and they are not on the same track at all.

He is quite satisfied with his current life.

Since you don't have any demands on them, why should you flatter them?

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong was completely convinced.

It turns out that I was thinking too superficially!
It is far less thorough than what my second uncle thought.

Indeed, when it comes to these important matters, we should listen more to my second uncle.

“Second uncle is right, we should let them solve their own food and accommodation problems.

They come to our place, and they must contribute a little income to the people of Shuangshui Village."

After saying this, Mei Yin and the others looked at each other and laughed...

……

"Is everyone here?
Let’s go! Go to Shuangshui Village!”

At the city gate, Zhu Yuanzhang was in very high spirits.

After greeting his ministers, he mounted his horse and headed towards the city gate.

After leaving the city gate, head straight to Shuangshui Village.

He was in a particularly good mood.

This time, he wanted to open the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court.

Let them see what auspiciousness is.

And let all these people shut up.

Take a good look at what Mei Yin, the son-in-law, is doing.

I gave him the title of Earl myself, is that too high? (End of this chapter)
