Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

"Haha, second brother-in-law, come here, step over this brazier.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao greeted Mei Yin with a smile.

A pot of fire was lit in front of Mei Yin.

This is to get rid of the bad luck for Mei Yin.

Mei Yin readily followed suit and after he stepped out of the fire, he was followed by Zhu Chong, the Prince of Qin, Zhu Gang, the Prince of Jin, Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, the fifth brother, the sixth brother, Princess Ningguo and many others.

He took a branch, dipped it in water, and sprinkled it on Mei Yin.

This has the same meaning.

They are all auspicious and can ward off bad luck.

Although Mei Yin didn't care much about these things and felt that it was nothing unlucky.

He felt that this trip to jail was just a change to a different lifestyle, and the food he ate was better than when he was in Shuangshui Village.

But since there are so many people like my brother-in-law and my wife, I care a lot about it.

Then he naturally wouldn't say anything else.

So as not to spoil everyone's mood.

After some rather complicated but solemn ceremonies, everyone surrounded Mei Yin, got in the car and left from the main road.

At this time, some people who had received the news had gathered on both sides of the road and saluted Mei Yin and his group.

Most people focused their eyes on Mei Yin, calling him Mr. Mei.

At this time, Mei Yin's reputation in the eyes of those who came to greet him was even higher than that of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Because in this short period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued an order and made clear regulations to abolish the handling fees for the exchange of treasure notes.

From now on, if the banknotes in the hands of the people are damaged, they can be replaced with new ones free of charge by the government.

It was also strictly stipulated that no one would be allowed to make things difficult for the people who were exchanging their banknotes in any way in the future.

Or what fees are charged.

When this news was announced, countless people were excited.

Although when the order was issued, it was not explicitly stated that this was Mei Yin's idea.

But the people are not stupid.

Why was Mr. Mei sent to jail so soon after he invented the sweet potato?

One of the important reasons was that Mr. Mei made a death-defying remonstrance to the emperor in front of all civil and military officials.

Talked about the various bad things about Baochao.

The emperor was so angry that he put him in jail.

As a result, Mr. Mei was released in such a short time.

And before he was released, the emperor issued such an order.

You can understand what is going on here at a glance.

This must have been the result of a great deal of effort on the part of Mr. Mei.

It was Mr. Mei's great efforts that brought them these benefits.

After all, before Mr. Mei made a death appeal to His Majesty about the Baochao issue, Baochao had been in use for nearly a year.

These regulations have always been in place.

Now, after Mr. Mei made a death-defying remonstrance to Your Majesty, some changes have been made in such a short time.

From here, it is easy to see how great a contribution Mr. Mei has made in this regard.

Not to mention, in addition to Baochao, Mr. Mei also invented sweet potatoes, an extremely high-yield crop.

Some people have even built shrines for Mei Yin at home.

Not only the people, but also many officials were equally excited and in a particularly good mood.

They know more than the common people.

Through the announcement issued by the prince, we have learned about some of the methods proposed by Mei Yin to curb the depreciation of the treasure notes.

This is the best thing for them.

Not every official is so rich.

Of course, even if you are rich, you will still feel sad about the reduction in salary.

Now, after receiving my salary, I don’t have to be so anxious to spend my treasured money on buying things for my home.

In the future, you can also save some treasure banknotes.

Just these things were enough to make them feel somewhat favorable towards the prince consort Mei Yin.

Although Prince Consort Mei did not have a very good reputation in the past.

But he really does it!
He is really good when encountering problems.

To this day, many officials still feel frightened when they recall the scene of Mei Yin's death in admonishing Zhu Yuanzhang in Shuangshui Village.

I couldn't help but admire Mei Yin's abilities.

This is really not something that ordinary people can do!

This time, Prince Consort Mei really opened their eyes!
If nothing else, just this point must be enough!

In the crowd, Mei Yi was completely stunned.

Looking at Mei Yin, who was sitting in the carriage and heading to the palace with Crown Prince Zhu Biao and many others, he was like the moon surrounded by stars.

His fists were clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound.

My heart is filled with deep disbelief!
This bastard...why isn't he dead?

Why didn't he die? !
It shouldn’t be!

Absolutely not!
He has already insulted Zhu Liangzu like that!
He also knew very well what kind of temper Zhu Liangzu had.

He immediately passed the news of Mei Yin's imprisonment to Zhu Liangzu.

And gave Zhu Liangzu some tips.

Although Zhu Liangzu had been trying his best to refuse.

He said he would never attack Mei Yin.

But based on his understanding of Zhu Liangzu, he felt that Zhu Liangzu would definitely not let Mei Yin go.

I won’t let Mei Yin walk out of prison alive!
As long as Mei Yin walks out of prison, it will mean that Zhu Liangzu's face will be completely lost.

He was very confident that Zhu Liangzu would definitely do so!
But who could have thought that things would end up like this.

That bastard Mei Yin actually walked out of the prison alive!

Not only did he make it out alive, but he also did it with such glory!
How does this feel like being in jail?
It's like a hero returning triumphantly.

It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to greet him personally, and there were so many princes as well!

Is it so great to be the emperor's son-in-law?

At this moment, countless thoughts were surging wildly in my chest.

It made him feel particularly uncomfortable and unwilling.

It shouldn’t be!

Absolutely not!
How come Mei Yin, that bastard, is still alive?

Why is he still alive?!
Where is Zhu Liangzu?

What is he doing for food?
How could he be such a waste!

Can't even handle a Mei Yin? !
Moreover, there has been no news during this period of time that Mei Yin was assassinated.

Could it be that Zhu Liangzu really hasn't taken any action yet?
When did Zhu Liangzu change his personality?
The scene before him excited Mei Yin to no end.

Originally, he always felt that he was superior.

Mei Yin is no match for him.

Especially this time, this bastard Mei Yin made such a big mistake and was thrown into the cell.

He felt that Mei Yin could no longer be so superior!
Will die completely.

You will have a bright future.

Who would have thought that the final result would be like this!

The emperor was obviously so angry, but Mei Yin, that bastard, made the emperor completely lose face in front of all the civil and military officials.

In the end, he was released after only staying in the building for thirteen days?

Not only did he not lose his life, but after experiencing this incident, many people knew that there was such a person in the Ming Dynasty.

It was simply a stunning success that soared into the sky!

The feeling this made him feel was indescribable.

Emotions such as jealousy and unwillingness surged wildly in my chest.

For a moment, he felt like his chest was about to explode!
Why!

Mei Yin, that bastard, what right does he have? !

Once again he felt like a clown!
Originally, he was planning to take a good look here and then pass on the good news of Mei Yin's death.

Show off in front of his father and let him know that he is still very capable.

But now, this is what happened.

It makes it difficult for him to go home.

The whole person was in a state of disorientation, as if he had lost his parents.

Mei Yin and his group headed towards the imperial palace.

I didn't even notice a lost person like Mei Yi...

……

In Kunning Palace, Empress Ma had already cooked a table full of dishes herself.

"Haha, kid, you finally came out. Come sit down and wash your face. Dinner will be served soon."

Queen Ma, who was wearing an apron around her waist, greeted them with a smile.

"Mother, this is more than enough. There is no need to spend more."

Mei Yin looked at the table of dishes and said to Queen Ma.

Queen Ma waved her hand: "Where is the expense?

We eat all of it ourselves, and if we can’t finish the leftovers this time, we can have them at the next meal as well.”

"Mother, where is Father? Hasn't he finished dealing with the memorials yet?"

Queen Ma said, “You know your father is very busy.

In recent days, news about things happening all over the country has been coming in continuously.

There are so many that there is no limit.

Don't worry about him, we can eat it ourselves later.

After he eats, I'll send him some food and let him have a bite in Wuying Hall."

After hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Biao also lamented how busy his father was.

When Prince of Qin Zhu Chong wanted to say something, he was stopped by the quick-witted Zhu Gang and Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

Don't let him speak.

In fact, they all knew that it was not because their father had too many government affairs to handle.

The main reason is that I don’t want to come and meet my second brother-in-law at this time!
Mei Yin could understand very well that Zhu Yuanzhang had many government affairs to attend to and could not come here for meals.

No matter what, I have been making a mortal remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Old Zhu is a very face-conscious person, and I am his son-in-law.

As a result, under such circumstances, Lao Zhu was released after only being imprisoned for a dozen days.

Although he didn't hold much hatred against himself, he would definitely curse at me.

It is understandable that one cannot save face for a moment.

It would be better if Lao Zhu didn't come at this time.

If we come, both of us will feel a little awkward.

However, since his mother-in-law, his brother-in-law and others had said so, Mei Yin was naturally not the kind of person who would not act in a timely manner. He would definitely not sabotage them.

He also smiled and agreed, saying that his father worked too hard.

The meal prepared by Queen Ma was truly sumptuous, with all sorts of chicken, duck, fish and meat available.

He even steamed a big goose specially for Mei Yin.

The geese that Mei Yin had eaten in the past were mostly stewed in an iron pot.

However, after eating the steamed goose made by my mother-in-law, I felt that it was also delicious.

It is truly unique.

It’s no wonder that later on, there were some haters with ulterior motives who spread rumors.

It is said that Empress Ma used steamed goose to cause a relapse of Xu Da's back carbuncle.

Thus, he lost his life...

Although Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang were the emperor and empress, at this time they could eat any kind of delicacies as long as they wanted.

But I am still quite frugal when it comes to eating on weekdays.

However, the table prepared at this time is really rich.

The Crown Princess Chang, the Princess of Qin, the Princess of Jin, the Princess of Yan...all of them came over to help.

Mei Yin's meal was completely grand!

After eating and drinking and talking for a while, Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo said goodbye to their mother-in-law, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

Return to Shuangshui Village from here.

Zhu Biao and others told him not to worry and to stay for two more days, or it would not be too late to go back tomorrow.

But Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo insisted on going back.

After all, no matter how good a place is, it’s not as good as your own doghouse.

When I was in prison before, I didn't have any special feelings.

Now that I was released from prison, I didn't want to wait any longer and just wanted to rush home.

However, despite thinking so, Mei Yin and his companions did not return to Shuangshui Village that day.

This is because there is still some work to be done.

He brought gifts and went to Duke Cao's mansion with Princess Ningguo to pay a visit to the old Duke Cao, Li Zhen.

He was quite grateful to his uncle Li Zhen.

When Yourong married him, it was this uncle who personally sent her to Shuangshui Village and handed her over to him.

When faced with Mei Sizu who wanted to cause trouble, it was this old uncle who stood up.

He directly blocked Mei Sizu, the Marquis of Runan, from causing trouble there.

Correspondingly, he completely offended Mei Sizu.

This time, even at his old age, he knelt on the ground and begged Zhu Yuanzhang to release him.

Although Mei Yin really wanted Lao Zhu to kill him.

The favor he asked for was somewhat counterproductive.

However, only he knew that he was killed by Lao Zhu and could gain many benefits.

So, I owe him a favor as a boss in this matter.

Now that I'm out of prison, I must go and see him.

Otherwise, it would be really outrageous.

Uncle Li Zhen was very happy to see Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo coming.

There was a smile in the turbid eyes.

A mouth with a few missing teeth makes people feel particularly friendly when smiling.

Kind-hearted.

I talked a lot with my old uncle, Duke Cao, here.

Among them, Li Jinglong will inevitably be mentioned.

Mei Yin said a lot of good things about Li Jinglong here.

"Xiao Yin, don't just say good things about him. I know this grandson well, and he is not like that at all.

I have never suffered since I was a child.

Those who have never suffered don’t understand the hardships of life and don’t know how life is.

Everything came too easily.

It is difficult to calm down, endure hardships, and learn skills.

Get something done.

This grandson has changed a lot only after he came to Shuangshui Village and stayed with you, Xiao Yin.

From now on, let him stay with you more and learn how to behave from you."

Hearing this, Mei Yin smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Uncle, I dare not learn this.

Are you asking Jinglong to die in order to advise His Majesty?"

"Hahaha……"

After Mei Yin said this joking remark, the people in Ling's room couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Mei Yin regained his composure and said solemnly, "Uncle, don't worry, Jinglong is not a bad person, and he is also smart.

I think he works very hard and will surely have smooth sailing in the future and make great achievements in his career.

Jinglong and I, although there is a generation difference.

But in fact the age difference is not that big.

They are called uncle and nephew, but in fact they get along like brothers.

We will definitely continue to support each other in the future."

"With your words, I feel relieved, old man!"

Old Duke Cao heaved a sigh of relief and said so.

He was obviously in a very good mood.

Mei Yin is a truly capable kid.

Moreover, as long as he does not die in order to remonstrate with His Majesty, he is definitely a person who understands the situation and human nature.

With a good relationship with Jinglong, his future prospects are naturally limitless.

If his grandson Jinglong follows him, at least he won't end up in a particularly bad situation.

And from what Mei Yin said, it was also clear that Mei Yin knew his intentions.

Otherwise, I wouldn't say such things.

This Mei Yin is a truly smart man...

……

"Mr. Qingtian, thank you very much this time."

At Liu Bowen's house, Mei Yin looked at Liu Bowen and said with some gratitude on his face.

By the way, this was the closest he had ever been to death.

But the result was ruined by these people's pleas.

This time, I suffered a huge loss.

But I can’t say it yet.

After I get out of prison, I will express my most sincere gratitude to these people.

This feeling is simply unmentionable!

Liu Bowen smiled and waved his hands when he heard this, "Why thank you? Isn't it my duty to do this?
You are my grandson-in-law.

From now on, Qiuyan, everything will depend on you!

You can't let Qiuyan become a widow before she even leaves, right?"

Liu Bowen always acts mysterious in front of others and likes to speak in a vague way, making people feel that he is quite profound.

Here with Mei Yin, I put down all my burdens.

He is very casual in speaking and doing things.

It was obvious that he treated Mei Yin as his real son or nephew...

By the way, Mei Yin still feels somewhat caught off guard by the marriage between Liu Qiuyan and himself.

This happened so suddenly!
No matter how I think about it, I feel like someone has been plotting against me.

He forced Liu Qiuyan to his side.

During this time in prison, Liu Qiuyan also brought some things and went to visit himself in the prison twice.

In this era, it takes a lot of courage for a woman to do such a thing before getting married.

It's easy to be gossiped about.

After Liu Qiuyan made such a move, Mei Yin had absolutely no choice but to marry Liu Qiuyan.

I can only keep her by my side...

Every step I took was calculated to the letter.

Don't try to get rid of...

But Liu Bowen's methods leave people speechless.

However, looking at Princess Ningguo and Liu Qiuyan, they were talking in the distance at this time and seemed to be getting along very happily.

Mei Yin put aside some of the worries in his heart.

As long as the two of them can get along well, they won't make the house a mess in the future.

Then everything is easy.

At the moment, it seems that there shouldn't be any major problems.

After this visit, it was getting dark very quickly.

Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo could only stay in Yingtianfu City for another night.

I went back the next day.

Zhu Biao prepared his prince's ceremonial equipment and sent Mei Yin back.

Just like when Mei Yin was taken over.

Mei Yin persuaded him with all his might.

This thing is too high-profile!

It doesn't fit his character.

He and Princess Ningguo, along with a few followers, returned in a very low-key manner.

But even though he was very low-key, he was still warmly welcomed after returning to Shuangshui Village.

Many people shed tears of joy after seeing Mei Yin.

I just felt that their backbone was back.

They can finally breathe a sigh of relief and live their lives in peace!
Li Jinglong also greeted him with a smile...

……

When Mei Yin returned to Shuangshui Village, Concubine Da Ding, the mother of the seventh and eighth sons, gave herself a good beating.

very serious.

Be prepared because news has already arrived today.

It is said that His Majesty will come to her place to rest tonight.

This is a rare opportunity!

Need to grasp it well!
This is not only to please the emperor, but also to satisfy one's own cravings.

At the same time, some things regarding Mei Yin can also be done at this time... (End of this chapter)
