Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 55 The Banquet ([-])
After drinking with Wuchen Xungui, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the side of the princes and grandchildren.

A bunch of little kids, the prince had already knelt down with his buttocks pouted, saying that his father and emperor would live forever.Don't look at them as demon kings in the school, but in front of the old man, they are all very well-behaved.

The old man looked at these sons and was also happy in his heart.Back then, he left home alone, drifting in troubled times, separated from his flesh and blood.When he was reuniting with his relatives, there was only one brother-in-law, one nephew and one nephew by his side.In the past few years, the Zhu family has flourished again.

His greatest regret is that he failed to let his parents live a good life, and his greatest pride is that the Zhu family will flourish again, with endless descendants.

"Okay, okay, get up!" The old man smiled and said to the kowtowing sons, "You have no bounds, as long as you all study hard and don't forget your roots, we will be happy!"

"Father, my son and I have prepared gifts for you!" King Ning Zhu Quan said with a smile. Among the princes, he is the best looking, handsome, and talented, which makes the old man like him very much.

"What have you prepared for us?" The old man asked with a smile.

"Bring it up!" King Ning Zhu Quan shouted to the outside of the hall.

After waiting for a while, several eunuchs carried a huge tray, which was filled with carefully crafted, fake ones, glowing red birthday peaches.

"I read the book and said that the Queen Mother of the West once gave Emperor Wu of the Han five longevity peaches, and told him that they were fairy fruits that only bear fruit once every 3000 years. The minister knew that it was a fairy tale and could not be taken as true. But he knew that the meaning of longevity peaches longevity!"

"There are nine hundred and ninety-nine birthday peaches here, implying longevity. Although I didn't make the noodles myself, when I made the dough, I and my brothers and brothers worked together to watch it be done!"

As she said that, she smiled obediently, "I have nothing to ask for, my sons and servants, but I only hope that my father will be healthy and live a long life!"

"My sons and ministers wish my father a long life!" All the little princes kowtowed again.

The old man looked at those longevity peaches and then at his sons, his face was full of tenderness, "Okay!" He said, smiling, "We, it's not so easy to die. We haven't chosen wives for you little monkeys yet. I haven't watched you get married yet!"

The father is kind and the son is filial, which naturally attracts the praise of the courtiers.

Then, the old man's eyes fell on the little emperors and grandchildren. Zhu Yunwen and his two younger brothers knelt down in front of the old man and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Half!" The old man called Zhu Yunqi by his baby name, and said with a smile, "What gift did you prepare for the emperor's grandfather?"

Zhu Yunwen raised his head, smiled a little shyly, and took out a list from his arms, "This is the grandson's birthday gift to the emperor's grandfather!"

The old man was a little surprised, reached out to take it, opened it, and was even more puzzled.It turned out that the list in his hand turned out to be a receipt for hiring a craftsman.

Zhu Biao also came over to take a look, and then looked at Zhu Yunqi, puzzled.

"Grandson has been worrying about the birthday gift of the imperial grandfather these days. You are so rich that the emperor has everything in the world! But as the grandson of the emperor, grandson should express his filial piety. Ordinary things are not enough to express. Precious things, the emperor Grandpa doesn't like extravagance!"

"Grandson thought about it, and suddenly he had a flash of light. The wish of the imperial grandfather in his life is to let everyone in the world live a good life without worrying about food and clothing. Everyone has land, everyone has clothes, and every family is happy and reunited!"

"A few days ago, my grandson accidentally saw his father worrying, so he boldly asked. The father said that there was a severe drought in Fengyang this spring, and the people's harvest this year was not good!"

"Fengyang is the hometown of my Zhu family, where the ancestor's mausoleum is located, so my grandson came up with such a solution!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunwen paused, "My grandson has a thousand personal money every year, and my grandson can't spend this money in the palace. So my grandson invited the elders of my mother's clan to run around and invite them to live in Fengyang. Dozens of wells have been drilled in mountainous areas where water is scarce!"

"Bless the ancestors, there is water at the mouth of those wells!"

In Zhu Yunwen's words, the smile on the old man's face became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help nodding.

There are many mountains in Fengyang, and the land in many places is barren. It is purely dependent on the sky for food.Moreover, the places near the mountains are dry in summer and flood in autumn, and the people have no money to divert water or dig wells.

"Although the water is bitter, it can be used by livestock, and who can be drawn to irrigate crops in a drought year! The useless money around my grandson can make people's families earn three or five buckets more. Moreover, it is still in The hometown of our Zhu family!"

"Grandson uses these wells dug for the common people as a birthday gift for you. Above, you can comfort the ancestors of the Emperor Ming, and the children of the Zhu family have not forgotten their hometown. Middle, let the elders in your hometown bathe in the emperor's grace. Below, the grandson is meager. With the power to share the worries of Grandpa Huang!"

"The virtuous king!" Among the civil servants, some could not help but praise.

"This birthday gift is great!" The old man pulled Zhu Yunqi up with his own hands, and the old man was so comforted that he was even moved, "It's rare that you know that you have the people in your heart and you don't forget your roots at such a young age!" As he said, he stroked the top of Zhu Yunqi's head, "Okay Boy, good boy!"

This gift was really sent to the old man's heart, and it was so ingenious that it compared other people's birthday gifts in one fell swoop.

Being praised by the old man, Zhu Yunwen's face flushed red, and he couldn't help but look towards the concubine.

I saw Mrs. Lu, sitting there, also smiling at her son, nodding slowly, her eyes full of pride.

"The princess is good at teaching her children!" The old man said with a smile, "Ten pairs of dragon, phoenix, gold and silver jewellery!"

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty!" The Lu family was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed.

Gold and silver jewelry are not rare in the palace, but this kind of great grace is the first one.In these years, except for the empress, the emperor has never personally rewarded any female family members in the palace.

This reward is the best affirmation for her, the princess.

The old man looked at Zhu Yunwen again, and thought for a moment, "The emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunwen, is talented and intelligent, and he is benevolent and filial."

After hearing the old man's words, the Lu family over there suddenly became nervous. Hearing these words, the old man seemed to be canonizing Zhu Yunqi.

But then she felt a little lonely again, no matter how much she was appointed, she was only a prince, and she would not enter the East Palace as the crown prince.

However, her eyes immediately became hot again.

Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as my son is up to the challenge, everything is possible if I plan in secret.Even if you want to risk the dissatisfaction of the world, or even go against the law, you can do it.

At this time, the old man suddenly became entangled.

He really wanted to give Zhu Yunqi, a good emperor and grandson, a different and extraordinarily honorable prince title.

But, what kind of king title?

If it is said that the most honorable vassal king in the Ming Dynasty is the king of Wu.The King of Wu was his title before he became the emperor, and the land of Wu was an important source of wealth for Ming Dynasty, the most affluent place in the world.

However, this king is not good!

Because in his heart, he had already given the royal title to Zhu Xiongying's brother-in-law, Zhu Yunxie, the grandson of the former concubine.

For a while, the old man was in a difficult situation.

"Hey, where's our eldest grandson?" I felt troubled, and suddenly realized that Zhu Xiongying was no longer by his side.

Suddenly, Li Jinglong, who was wearing a python robe, stood outside the hall and shouted loudly.

"His Royal Highness, congratulations on the birthday of the Long Live Lord!"
