Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 298 We all have to prepare for the worst
The Mochou Lake Palace rarely encountered a warm winter sun, and Lao Zhu was lying leisurely on a deck chair enjoying the sun.

The old face is full of relaxation and freehand brushwork.

Since his retirement, Zhu Yuanzhang has gotten better and better both physically and mentally.

In the first few months before the abdication, Lao Zhu might still be a little bit worried about whether Zhu Biao could act like an emperor, but now, Zhu Yuanzhang feels at ease.

Zhu Biao was born a gentleman.

Didn't you see that the arrogant Sapphire is still ordered to stay at home?

Enough benevolence, enough prestige!
Holding the divine weapon in one hand to grant favor, and holding the killing in the other hand to move like thunder.

Can control the court, can control the prince, can control Wu Xun.

Thinking about how many new policies and moths the cabinet tossed out last year, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled like a child in his 60s.

Which of these things seems to be difficult to do in the eyes of outsiders, so it's old Zhu and his father who don't take it seriously.

"As long as Biao'er wants to do it, and he can't hold back, I will come forward."

Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind last year, if the trouble cannot be solved, then solve the person who caused the trouble.

Daming is very big, with one hundred and eighty thousand people missing, you can't tell.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, exchanging one hundred and eighty thousand heads for the resplendent imperial power is worth it!
It has to be said that the Huaixi case, the Guo Huan case, and the Kongyin case have too much influence. Even if the cabinet's new policy has seriously endangered the interests of many people, no one dares to stand up and resist at this time.

Being alive is better than being dead, right?

"Your Majesty." Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was closing his eyes with a smile on his face, Bao Xiang knelt down on one knee and whispered in the former's ear: "Xining Marquis entered Beijing on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Hall, His Majesty, he gave a banquet, together with the young master."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, but just said "Ying'er" silently.

"Is Yinger okay?"

"The Marquis of Xining is in good health."

Zhu Yuanzhang eased a lot of brows visible to the naked eye, nodded and said: "Continue talking."

"Your Majesty, he intends to give the Hou Jiaen of Xining, and on the second day of the junior division, in the name of the cabinet, he drew up a letter of merit for the Hou of Xining."

"Well, Ying'er has indeed contributed a lot in the past few years, it's the Duke of Jin."

"In addition." Baoxiang hesitated for a moment, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at him, he quickly bit the bullet and continued: "In addition, His Majesty, he, the young master and the Marquis of Xining got drunk and worshiped the master."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed suddenly, and he sat up.

At this moment, Baoxiang was so frightened that he changed from half-kneeling to prostration, and said repeatedly: "The emperor calms down."

"Who proposed such a presumptuous and rude thing?"

"It was proposed by His Majesty on his own initiative, and the young master was very happy. Only the Marquis of Xining kept dissuading him, but he couldn't stop it in the end."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask with a sullen face: "After sworn in, what did you say?"

"The young master said in a daze, saying, 'Second brother is particular, in the future we have to devote ourselves to the second brother'."

Zhu Yuanzhang lay down again, and asked a question inexplicably.

"That little guy Yanqing, is he still close to you now?"

Baoxiang wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said respectfully and confidently: "Although those little guys are not up to date, they still have slaves in their eyes, and they have always been respectful."

"Chen Yunfu came back from Shandong, did Yun Wen pick him up?"

"Yes, that's what happened that day"

Listening to the conversation between Baoxiang and Zhu Yunxuan in the carriage after Baoxiang greeted Chen Yunfu that day, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Yunwen is still too young, but he is quite courageous enough to threaten the imperial power." Chen Yunfu also had the domineering air of an emperor.

By doing this, Biaoer seems to want to tie Chen Yunfu and Yinger to death. How is Biaoer's health recently? "

"The imperial doctor said, it's not very good." Speaking of this, Baoxiang was a little terrified: "Your Majesty, he hasn't had a lucky concubine for seven months."

Abstinence, that is to lock the vitality, try to prolong life.

Zhu Yuanzhang's originally good mood suddenly became much worse.

"It's all my fault."

Think about before the empty printing case, because of the hard work of the secretary Chen Yunfu, Zhu Biao's body finally recovered after several years of recuperation, but because of his own anger, Zhu Biao forced himself to kneel at the gate of Qianqing in the winter After a few hours, he finally coughed up blood and passed out. Since then, his health has deteriorated further, and Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is bleeding now.

The price I paid for my irrational behavior was too great.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked something irrelevant to Feng Shui.

"Has Chu Chu's Princess Mansion been built yet?"

Baoxiang's heart skipped a beat.

Chu Chu in Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth is Princess Hanshan, whose biological mother is Concubine Han of Gaoli. She was the most famous beauty in Goryeo at that time, and was given to Zhu Yuanzhang as a tribute gift.

Although she is only 13 years old this year, she already has the charm of her mother and is quite beautiful.

"Go back to the emperor, next year will be almost the same."

"After the princess mansion is built, it's time to leave the cabinet. Has the Imperial Secretary considered any suitable consorts?"

In normal times, Baoxiang might open his mouth to reveal a list of family backgrounds of young talents, but now, combined with what Zhu Yuanzhang said before, Baoxiang knows that this question cannot be answered sequentially.

"Going back to the emperor, Yuqiansi has not yet considered a suitable candidate for the son-in-law, and many talents are already married."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

"In this case, then I will promise her a husband's family."

"Respectfully listen to the emperor's instructions."

"Chen Yunfu!"

Baoxiang lay on the ground, and said in his heart that it was indeed so.

"My lord, young master, he already has a regular wife and four concubines. He married Princess Hanshan to young master, did he offend the princess?"

"Give him a marriage first. As for when to get married, wait until I die." Zhu Yuanzhang gave a precise date: "After I die, whether Chu Chu becomes big or small, it has nothing to do with me. She can't be hurt." My face."

For an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, daughters are far less important than sons.

To be precise, the daughter is just a tool used by Zhu Yuanzhang to weigh politics.

Since the eldest daughter, Princess Lin'an, married the son of Li Shanchang, most of his daughters were married to honorable families.

Marriage between emperors and ministers has long been common in dynastic history, and Zhu Yuanzhang's practice is also very common.

It's just that Lao Zhu has a little bit of scruples about face.

Although they are married, the wedding date has to be delayed.

Marrying my daughter to Chen Yunfu now, is it bigger or smaller?

What if Chen Yunfu doesn't want to make it bigger.

Not to mention Zhu Biao's protection, even Zhu Yuanzhang himself is not willing to touch Chen Yunfu now.

This is the cornerstone of the future three generations of his old Zhu family.

Wouldn't decades of training be in vain.

Can be small, Zhu Yuanzhang loses face.

Simply, just wait until you die and then pass through the door, anyone will look good.

"Then the emperor, young master and his majesty, should the servants keep silent about the matter of sworn brothers with His Majesty?"

"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "It's okay to let this rumor spread, let the world know that Chen Yunfu is Biao'er's brother, and will be my son-in-law in the future.

My old Zhu family's kindness to him, he will never end in this life and even in the next life! "

Tian Gang and Human Relations will forever restrain Chen Yunfu, preventing him from having any thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Baoxiang understood.

What Zhu Yuanzhang is doing now is the same as Zhu Biao.

Everyone is planning for the worst!
