Chapter 462
After Xu Huizu was busy with his official duties, he came out of the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, and as soon as he returned home in a carriage, someone sent a post.

It was said that he was Chen Di's housekeeper, and he invited Xu Huizu to Chen's mansion for a drink under the order of the master of the family.

The relationship between Chen Di and Zhu Yuanzhang is very close. In addition, he is a low-key person, and he does not usually walk around with officials and honorable officials.

Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's affairs were handled by Chen Di, so it can be said that they are very important.

Chen Di invited himself, definitely not out of his own will, it must have been ordered by the palace, I have never heard of him making friends with ministers in the past.

But what's the matter with him in the palace?

According to the agreed time, Xu Huizu came to visit the Chen residence. After the concierge informed, Chen Di came to the door to greet him in person.

He said very enthusiastically: "Duke Wei is here, please come inside quickly, I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

Xu Huizu said politely: "Master Chen, you don't have to be so polite..."

Chen Di greeted the butler to bring up good wine and good food, and the two chatted while eating and drinking.

It was said to be a banquet, but Chen Di didn't persuade them to drink. The two of them stopped drinking after a few drinks.

There is an important matter to discuss today, how could Chen Di drink by mistake!

The two were chatting, and Chen Di said very naturally: "The king of Zhongshan really deserves to be the hero who has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. He is handsome and extraordinary. Working with him is often refreshing. He is really a rare hero ..."

Everyone loves to hear good words, especially when it concerns the elders in the family. Naturally, Xu Huizu couldn't refuse, "When my father mentioned Mr. Chen, he was full of praise, saying that Mr. Chen was open-minded and indifferent to fame and fortune. Few people can compare with him... "

"Old, old, useless..."

Chen Di said with a smile: "The king of Zhongshan is a hero among the people, and your brothers are all first-class heroes, and even the family members of the king of Zhongshan are all noble...Wei Guogong, I heard that the third daughter of the king of Zhongshan in your mansion is beautiful and intelligent, I wonder if they are as good as Ji? "

Xu Huizu was startled, and immediately turned his eyes to Chen Di, trying to see some clues from his face, but it was just a kindly smiling face, and there was nothing to gain.

"My sister hasn't performed the ceremony yet..." Xu Huizu replied truthfully.

"Oh, I see……"

Chen Di vaguely conveyed to him that the position of concubine in the Eastern Palace is empty, so what should be done when the concubine is formally selected...

Although he didn't say that this was what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, but as a sensible person, Xu Huizu certainly knew that he followed His Majesty's will!

But he was still a little worried: "Lord Chen, to tell the truth, Duke Wei's mansion has been greatly loved by His Majesty over the years, and both of His Majesty's sisters have married into the royal family. His Majesty's favor is too generous, and I am afraid that I will fail to live up to the holy grace." , disappoints His Majesty..."

But Chen Di said: "Duke Wei doesn't have to worry about this, Xu Jiajian is in the emperor's heart, and His Majesty's gift is the king's favor..."

Xu Huizu knew that he had nothing to say about this matter, so he said: "My ministers and the old and young in the family are loyal to Daming and His Majesty, and all the orders of the emperor will naturally be obeyed..."

"Hehehe, no matter how reasonable Wei Guogong said, come, drink and drink..."

After the test was over, the next thing was easy to talk about. Chen Di felt relieved and tried to persuade him to drink again.

Xu Huizu returned home reeking of alcohol. He drank a lot tonight, but he was not drunk and his mind was clear.

He hasn't woken up from the surprise yet, now that there is no interruption, he can take a good look at his thoughts...

According to the ancestral precepts promulgated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the candidate for the grandson concubine would not be selected from the noble family, but this happened clearly!
There seems to be some contradictions in this...

Could it be that the grandson of the emperor insisted on...

Did they say they haven't met a few times?How many times have you come?

Xu Huizu thumped his head angrily, and began to blame himself for not caring enough about his sister. He was busy all day, always thinking that his sister was well-educated and reasonable, so he didn't have to worry about it.

So much so that I don't even know about her now...

What does His Majesty mean by this matter?
Although His Majesty asked Chen Di to invite him and asked about his tone, it meant that His Majesty agreed to this matter.

But does His Majesty sincerely think that it is feasible and is willing to fulfill it, or is it just to make the emperor happy, so he has no choice but to do it?

After drinking a cup of herbal tea, Xu Huizu put down the cup and sighed again...

Well, so what if I know?Nothing will change, it will only increase troubles in vain.

Tonight he had been greatly impacted, and his thoughts were also very complicated. Before he knew it, his mind was a little dizzy, so he leaned back on the chair and fell asleep...

With the promulgation of the law on foot binding, and the news spread to every corner of Ming Dynasty, the common people understood what foot binding was all about.

For those gentry, not only had to endure humiliation, but also faced blows, many of them were imprisoned and ransacked their homes.

"My minister greets His Highness, Your Highness Wanan!"

The Commander of Jin Yiwei came to the Wenhua Hall to meet him, got up and handed over the brochure in his hand.

"Your Highness, this is the seized property and the property list, please have a look at it, Your Highness."

Zhu Yunxi took it from Wang Zhong, opened it and glanced at it, and saw that the number on it was very large, and he was very satisfied.

As expected of a thousand-year-old family, the accumulation of wealth is far beyond that of a newly emerging big family.

In addition to a lot of gold, silver, and money, there are also a lot of land.

For some families, death is not a crime. Of course, Zhu Yunxi will not be too cruel, and will leave some land and houses for them, so that they can farm and live, so that they will not starve to death on the street.

Sometimes you can't be too ruthless, just teach them a lesson so that they don't have the strength to fight against themselves, why bother to kill them all.

You have to leave a way for others to survive, right?
"You Jinyiwei did a good job in this matter. You didn't bring any private goods, and you didn't frame them, and you wantonly framed them. I hope you can do the same in the future."

Jiang Yu was overjoyed, saluted and said, "Thank you for your praise! Jin Yiwei must work hard and never let His Highness down!"

Zhu Yunxi hummed, and said: "Send money and other valuables to the capital, and the rest of the houses, fields and shops, Wang Zhong, you take over."

"Yes, the servant obeys!"

Wang Zhong took the order, knowing that in his own hands, he must make Huangzhuang and Huangdian, which is equivalent to falling into His Highness's pocket!

"Your Highness..."

Jiang Yu said with some hesitation: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Punishment seems a little displeased with Jin Yiwei's taking over..."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at him, and said: "If the Ministry of Punishment has something to say, it's natural to come back and ask. Don't worry about this, just do your job well!"

"Yes, I obey!"

Jiang Yu was taken aback, and quickly stopped talking, because a word accidentally crossed the line!
When noon was approaching, the eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang came to report that he would invite the grandson of the emperor to Jinshen Hall for dinner.

After Zhu Yunxi finished his official duties in the morning, he went to have dinner with Zhu Yuanzhang.

The two chatted while eating.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in Zhu Yunxi's bowl, "I'm growing up, eat more meat to make up for it!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, what do you think of the chili peppers I sent someone a few days ago? Is the taste right?"

"It tastes good, there are no other miscellaneous smells, it's rare that you have the heart, but just stay in the East Palace, don't have to send it to me."

Zhu Yunxi greeted him with a smile and said: "I have harvested a lot this year. Although it cannot be used on a large scale, our family still has enough to eat.
When there is a good harvest next year and they can be sold on a large scale, I will give some to Uncle Wang, and I can't let them pay for it..."

"Then why don't you give it away this year? It's kind of a wish."

Sometimes the amount of things sent by the palace is not as many people imagined by car and ship. The quantity is huge. In fact, many times there are not so many, and a gift box can hold it, so Zhu Yuanzhang said so.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head solemnly, and said: "Grandpa, it's not that my grandson is stingy, I have already ordered it to be kept secret for the time being, and must not be leaked.
Otherwise, if other people know about it, wouldn't this way of making money be cut off?So for the sake of the country and country of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Er had no choice but to hold back his concern for the princes and uncles..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, "You say the same thing, we think you are stingy, you just took advantage of the money! Tell me, why do you want so much money? You don't have to be so stingy when you marry a wife." ?”

"I'm wronged, Grandpa Emperor..."

The two teased for a while before Zhu Yuanzhang got down to business.

"Speaking of marrying a daughter-in-law, what do you think, which one are you going to choose? Didn't you go and see those beautiful girls?"

"Oh, Grandpa Huang, with so many government affairs, how can grandson be so leisurely? If you don't remind grandson, grandson won't be able to remember this matter. You have said to let Grandpa Huang decide, you can choose whichever you choose!"

"really?"

"really!"

"That's good! Let's call the shots and rescue the third daughter of Zhongshan King Xu Da's family. What's her name?"

"Xu Miaojin?!" Zhu Yunxi said in surprise!
"That's right! That's the name! Do you like it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"Of course...Of course Grandpa Huang said yes, that's fine! Grandson has no other opinions!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately put on a very well-behaved appearance, and seemed very obedient!
