Chapter 105 Wine and Gifts!
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair twitched his eyes slightly.

It seems that there is a story between this uncle and nephew!
Well, you fourth child, you have only been back to the capital for a few days, and you went to find your eldest nephew?

The others also looked at the two of them strangely, which made Zhu Di a little bit embarrassed. If the news of that day got out, wouldn't he, Zhu Di, become the laughing stock of others after dinner?

Who would have thought that he wanted to see Zhu Xiongying out of curiosity that day, but in the end he made himself a laughing stock because of a melon.

Zhu Di felt bitter in his heart, he raised his wine bowl and wanted to drink it all in one gulp.

"Fourth uncle, wait."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying called out to Zhu Di at this time, which made Zhu Di's already ugly face darken slightly.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle is so proud, how can my nephew let Fourth Uncle down? Come here, bring Gu a bowl of wine!"

Consciously or unintentionally, Zhu Xiongying's self-proclaimed name has changed, from the previous me to Gu.

Since ancient times, emperors have called themselves widows, solitary or Zhen, and later basically called themselves Zhen, but Zhu Yuanzhang is different. Except for extremely important occasions, he prefers to use the self-proclaimed name of his hometown, we.

And Gu is the self-proclaimed prince, and in this age, it is not something that can be used casually, and Zhu Xiongying is now the grandson of the emperor, so of course he deserves this self-proclaimed title.

After Zhu Xiongying's words fell, a palace servant serving at the side filled a bowl of wine and handed it over respectfully.

After receiving the wine, Zhu Xiongying picked it up and said with a smile: "Fourth Uncle, you have worked hard to defend the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty. Grandpa Huang often praises you. You are a general with a good command of troops. Find a time later. My nephew will show you to Fourth Uncle." Ask the imperial soldiers how to kill the enemy! My nephew respects you!"

Zhu Di smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness, the grandson, I respect you, my lord!"

From this moment on, he had to re-examine the elder nephew in front of him.

In the two confrontations, he was the one who suffered the dark loss.

If it was the first time, he was careless, and he didn't expect that there would be ripe watermelons in this season, so he accidentally got himself into it.

So this time, when his nephew had the upper hand in the language confrontation, he gave him a step down, and even praised him high, which can be described as giving a candy with a stick.

This gentle method is somewhat similar to that of the prince back then.

If it was someone else, he would definitely be secretly grateful, but he, Zhu Di, was not reconciled for some reason.

He Zhu Di asked himself that he was competent in all aspects to be the heir of Daming, but his only shortcoming was his identity, he was the fourth child, and there were rumors that he was not born to Empress Ma.

So even though he knew that he had little hope, at the moment when he actually announced it, he was still resentful and unwilling, and the fire in his heart was not extinguished because of this.

Although he didn't have much contact with him, he knew that his nephew was a scheming and resourceful master.

With complicated emotions, Zhu Di smiled and touched Zhu Xiongying, picked up a bowl full of wine, and poured it into his mouth.

Of course Zhu Xiongying would not be shy, and would just throw up a bowl and finish it all.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair nodded secretly...

Next it was the turn of the old fifth king of Zhou, Zhu Huan. Although Zhu Huan had no military exploits, and it could even be said that he was not very good at fighting, he was the most famous among Zhu Yuanzhang's many sons.

Because he is a healer, a great botanist.

The "Materia Medica for Relief of Famines" edited by him later has become a masterpiece spread all over the world, and it can be regarded as one of the most outstanding herbal scripts in the Middle Ages.

For the emperor, this is the perfect template for a prince.

He has no ambitions and doesn't work hard, but works hard to study his own things, and manages the fief in an orderly manner, so that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and are deeply loved by the people.

"My nephew has heard people say that my fifth uncle is generous, benevolent, and sympathetic to nature and man. This time I compiled the book "Pocket Prescriptions" that is beneficial to the world, and my nephew admires it very much. Nephew, I respect my fifth uncle!" Zhu Xiongying looked respectful. Said.

"Sir, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xi was not very popular with the old man, so seeing Zhu Xiongying being so respectful, he was a little flattered and raised his glass quickly.

Next is Zhu Zhen, the sixth king of Chu...

When it was King Qi's turn, King Qi had already lost the arrogance he had before.

King Qi said with a smile: "I congratulate Your Highness Taisun. Last time, I offended you a lot. I hope Your Highness will not take it to heart. I will do it first to respect you!"

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "Where is Uncle Qi, we are a family, and this time Uncle Qi wiped out the Japanese pirates and restored peace to the people along the coast, which is really a great achievement. My nephew congratulates Uncle Qi!"

King Qi laughed, raised his glass to drink with Zhu Xiongying...

One after another, the vassal kings came forward to toast, and Zhu Xiongying would not refuse anyone who came, and each vassal king could deal with it calmly and spoke appropriately.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched with a smile while sipping wine.

After all the vassal kings paid their respects, Liu Sanwu, Qian Tang, and six ministers came up with a group of civil servants.

"Minister and so on, pay homage to His Royal Highness Grandson!"

All civil servants bowed down in unison.

"All ministers, hurry up!"

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and said: "Everyone is my Daming's humerus, I will rely on you all alone in the future, come, drink this cup to the brim, congratulations to Daming for eternity and prosperity, and congratulations to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

"Congratulations to Daming Wanshi Yongchang, congratulations to His Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

All the civil servants raised their glasses one after another.

Zhu Xiongying smiled slightly, picked up the wine cup and drank it down in one gulp.

Followed by.

Tang He, Duke of Xin who had retired to Fengyang, Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, Duke of Ying, came forward with a group of generals.

These generals served bowls, the same bowls as Yan Wang Zhu Di just now.

"Minister and so on, pay homage to His Royal Highness Grandson!"

A series of resounding voices suddenly resounded, converging together, resounding through the entire Fengtian Hall.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Zhu Xiongying helped Tang He up with his own hands, and said loudly to the generals.

Almost all of these warriors came from Huaixi, so people also call them Huaixi nobles, because almost all of them or their parents followed Zhu Yuanzhang in righteousness.

This group of people, originally Zhu Yuanzhang planned to leave his son Zhu Biao's military team, can be called princelings.

What Zhu Yuanzhang hates the most is forming a party, but he has no objection to Zhu Biao. There are even jokes among the people that Zhu Yuanzhang is eager for Zhu Biao to rebel and take his throne away.

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, Zhu Biao left suddenly, which also made the original princeling become Zhu Yuanzhang's heart disease.

But now that Zhu Xiongying appeared, the situation began to change again.

From the moment Tang He saw Zhu Xiongying, he knew that their group of generals would have a way out.

"His Royal Highness, I am really... so happy to see you again!"

Tang He was getting old, and he fought all the time when he was young, and he had a lot of hidden wounds on his body, so at this time he already looked old, and according to the trend of history, he could only live for another three years.

At this time, Tang He was tearful, and said in a voice that was no longer very clear: "Your Highness, I still remember how sad the emperor, queen, and prince were when you left, so why not? I can see you now." When you come back healthy and healthy, even if I die now, I will have no regrets!"

Zhu Xiongying's heart was warm, and he smiled and said, "Grandpa Tang, my grandnephew hasn't had a chance to listen to your teachings yet, how can you die? Besides, my grandnephew still has a lot of good things that I want to show you, how can you be willing?" Die!"

After Tang He heard this, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he nodded again and again: "Okay, I will obey His Highness's order!"

At this time, Lan Yu's loud voice sounded: "Come on, let's congratulate the emperor's grandson of Ming Dynasty for a thousand years!"

"Congratulations to the grandson of the emperor for a thousand years!"

The loud roar made everyone in Fengtian Hall look sideways.

Huaixi military generals raised their wine bowls one by one, with undisguised smiles on their faces. They were happy from the bottom of their hearts that the eldest grandson of the emperor returned and became the grandson of the Ming emperor.

Because this shows that they have roots again from now on!

"Come here, bring Gu a bowl of wine!"

Following Zhu Xiongying's words, the servants quickly brought a bowl of wine respectfully.

Zhu Xiongying took the wine bowl and said with a smile: "You are all the meritorious generals of the Ming Dynasty. You have played the iron bones of the Ming Dynasty, and the iron-blooded military might. Today's glass of wine is just to respect the generals!"

"Come, drink this bowl to the brim!"

Zhu Xiongying raised his wine bowl and shouted loudly.

"Drink this bowl full!"

These warriors like to be lively and drink, especially the gang of Lan Yu, who are heroic at best, and rude at worst.

Zhu Xiongying's quick words made them very useful.

"happy!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Zhu Xiongying wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "When there is a chance, Gu will ride horses outside the pass with you guys, kill the enemy on the battlefield, and see my great Ming army!"

"it is good!"

Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, laughed and shouted: "At that time, my minister Wang Bi will lead the horse for Your Highness!"

At this time, they are no longer tight.

When Wang Bi said this, the other generals also grinned. Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen said: "When the time comes, the minister will fight wherever your Highness points, haha!"

"Ha ha--"

All the generals laughed.

However, the two looked at Zhu Xiongying with red eyes from beginning to end, with excited expressions.

Of course Zhu Xiongying saw it, stepped forward and said, "The two are Uncle Chang Sheng and Chang Sen, right? My nephew has met the two uncles!"

"Can't, can't!"

Chang Sheng and Chang Sen waved their hands again and again.

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "There's nothing you can't do. The two are my own uncles. They are a family. I have been in the civil society for ten years. Now I don't know many of my cousins. The two uncles have time to take them around. move!"

"As ordered!"

Chang Sheng and Chang Sen bowed their hands respectfully...

There are still many generals among the generals, but Zhu Xiongying is not in a hurry to get to know them one by one, because the future is long and he will use them frequently in the future.

One day in the future, when they get together again, they will recall this day with tears.

Because on this day, they witnessed the moment when the eldest grandson of Huang Ming, who founded the prosperous Ming Dynasty, began to step on the stage of history...

After a long circle, Zhu Xiongying's face flushed slightly, but he was not drunk.

During the whole process, Zhu Yuanzhang watched quietly.

Today is Longevity Day, originally he was supposed to be the protagonist, but he made his eldest grandson the protagonist.

"Okay, drink well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile.

However, Zhu Xiongying came forward with a glass of wine, and knelt down in front of the old man, "Today is the Longevity Day. My grandson pays respects to my grandfather, wishing my grandfather good luck and longevity!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, he didn't expect that his eldest grandson still remembered that he didn't pay birthday respects at this time, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, he quickly reached out to help Zhu Xiongying up: "Get up, come, we two have a drink!"

With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang also picked up the wine glass and drank with Zhu Xiongying.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhu Xiongying took out a beautiful box from his bosom, and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandfather, this is a birthday present from my grandson!"

At this time, everyone who was eating stopped, and their eyes fell on Zhu Xiongying.

Especially Yan Wang Zhu Di.

He was very curious, what kind of birthday gift would he prepare for the emperor's most beloved eldest grandson who had just returned to the throne?
