Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 416 I am also the father-in-law, why can’t I go? (Please subscribe!!)

Ji Gang just retreated.

A palace maid walked in, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Queen said that the banquet at Fengtian Hall has been prepared. Please come and see if there is anything that needs to be added or improved."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "It's okay for the queen to watch over the banquet. I'll go directly there when the time comes."

"This" the palace maid was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" The palace maid was so frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang that she knelt on the ground.

"Chongba, why are you angry with the palace maid? Come at me if you can!" Queen Ma's voice sounded.

"Sister!"

Seeing Queen Ma's figure appearing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened, "Aren't you in the Fengtian Hall preparing for today's dinner? Why are you here?"

After the maids and eunuchs got up, they got busy again.

Wang Zhong immediately understood what Queen Ma meant and immediately retreated with the others in the palace. Even the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground was pulled away by Wang Zhong.

Today's dinner is a family banquet that Zhu Yuanzhang is specially worried about for the children of the royal family, mainly the prince, prince, underage prince, and princess. He does not call the princess who is already a family member. After all, it must be considered that the princess needs to eat with her husband's family. If she is just called the princess, It would seem that the royal family is a bit overbearing. If the princess and her husband's family call them both, and there are too many people, it will not be a family banquet, but more like a state banquet. However, there will be a state banquet later, and the married princess will come with her. Attend a state banquet.

As Wang Zhong's voice sounded.

"It's not necessarily lively." Queen Ma muttered.

"I'm not worried." Queen Ma shook her head, and then said in a strange tone: "If I decide all this banquet without your confirmation, I'm worried that Your Majesty will accuse me of being an expert."

"." Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, we adults don't remember the faults of villains, and I won't argue with you on this matter."

"Don't you want us to go to Fengtian Temple to see it? Then let's go."

On both sides of the hall, concubines, princes, and princesses saluted.

As Queen Ma spoke, she motioned to Wang Zhong and the other eunuchs and maids in the palace to retreat.

Prince Zhu Biao's family arrived first, and their location was the closest to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma attended the ceremony holding hands and dressed up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"On the side of justice." Queen Ma said calmly.

Then came the prince and the underage princes and princesses, most of whom followed their respective mothers and concubines.

"." Zhu Yuanzhang said blankly: "Sister, where are you from?"

"Isn't it? Then that kid Ouyang did what he did, but you still doubt him?" Queen Ma asked back.

"Sister, your taste is as good as ever! It's so festive and grand, the banquet tonight will be very lively!"

"I have met Your Majesty and the Queen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and down, left and right, and said with a smile.

"." Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, "But Xu Da told Ouyang Lun to be careful of us. Sister, do you think they are plotting something?"

"No courtesy, the queen and I are just here to take a look, you just continue to do your work." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor and queen, the maids and eunuchs quickly saluted.

"Uh." Listening to Queen Ma's sinister tone, Zhu Yuanzhang looked helpless, "Sister, what do you mean? Are we that kind of person?"

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Sister, you should be happy about this. The blood of my old Zhu family has grown up one by one, and will support the entire Ming Dynasty in the future. Let's keep it quiet here."

"If I don't come, I won't be able to invite you over."

"Anyway, as long as you have no objection." After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Queen Ma said calmly.

Soon, Queen Ma took Zhu Yuanzhang to Fengtian Hall. The entire hall was decorated in a grand and festive manner, and palace maids and eunuchs were coming and going to set up the scene.

"Xu Da did nothing wrong! You have always wanted to get Ouyang, but I stopped you. Now Ouyang doesn't have to worry about anyone except you." Queen Ma said seriously.

"Well" Zhu Yuanzhang was ashamed, it turned out that he was waiting for him here!

"Your Majesty, the Queen is here!"

Inside Fengtian Hall.

"Sister, what do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously.

"All the adult princes have gone to their fiefdoms, there are not many underage princes left, and all the princesses are married, so how can it be so lively." Empress Ma said calmly.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was time for the dinner.

"Haha, we know that girls understand us best." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Isn't it normal for the father-in-law to go to his son-in-law's house to eat and drink?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that if he continued to talk to Queen Ma, he would be angry to death.

"Sister, we have a lot to do here. We have a lot of things to deal with. You can just arrange the banquet. Don't we worry about you doing the work?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

“I’ve met my father, the emperor, and my queen (your majesty and empress)!!”

"Sister, please listen to my explanation. Xu Da went to Ouyang Lun's place last night." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.

"No formalities, today is a family banquet, don't be too formal, just be casual." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

After Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma took their seats, the concubines, princes, and princesses slowly sat down.

"The party begins!"

"Everyone raises a toast!"

"The ritual music is up!"

After a tedious toasting process, the Fengtian Hall officially entered the rhythm of cooking, and there were non-stop singing and dancing performances in the middle of the hall.

"Father, I would like to give you a drink!"

Zhu Biao raised his wine glass.

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy, "Biao'er, you and I have drank this!"

"Yes, Father!" Zhu Biao raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Biao'er, what do you think of the development of Ming Dynasty this year?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

"This year, our Ming Dynasty can be said to have entered an era of great development and harvest! Especially since then, Ming Dynasty is now full of prosperity. This is inseparable from brother-in-law Ouyang!" Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly. Zhu Biao didn't notice it, but Lu, who was beside Zhu Biao, noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled Zhu Biao, which made Zhu Biao react.

"Of course, the Ming Dynasty can achieve today's results because of the wise leadership of the father. The people are also grateful to the father and all praise the father! It is said that it won't be long before the prosperous age of Hongwu is coming." Zhu Biao's reaction was also very good. Quick, he immediately said with admiration.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy when he heard his own son flattering him, with a smile on his face, "You are not bad either. I have entrusted you with many affairs this year, and you have done a good job. I am very pleased!"

"But you have to remember that the development of Ming Dynasty to what it is today will never be achieved simply by relying on one person."

"This is my father, please bear this in mind!"

Zhu Biao nodded obediently.

"Then what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"Erchen thinks that the first five-year plan of the Ming Dynasty designed by brother-in-law Ouyang is very good. It has made such great achievements in the first year of implementation. Next year, we only need to follow this plan and implement it unswervingly." Zhu Biao said truthfully.

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and the wine glass in his hand hovered in the air.

"Father, did my son say something wrong?" Zhu Biao asked quickly.

"Biao'er, the five-year plan designed by Ouyang Lun is indeed very good, but after all, it was Ouyang Lun who came up with it, not you. You must always remember that you will inherit my throne and govern in the future. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the biggest problem when being an emperor is that you cannot be led by your ministers, because once you do so, you will have no majesty as an emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"I understand, but I am not the monarch of the Ming Dynasty now, so there is no point in asking for the majesty of the emperor, right?" Zhu Biao replied.

"It is true that you are not a monarch now, but you are also the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you must cultivate the majesty of the emperor!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "You must also be stricter with yourself!"

"So I made a decision. In order for you to better protect yourself in the future, I plan to let you solve the problem with Ouyang Lun, which can be regarded as learning Ouyang Lun's method."

Zhu Biao was a little worried at first, but when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to study with Ouyang Lun, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. In fact, he had wanted to work with Ouyang Lun for a long time, but Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun had always wanted to work together. Due to the docking, he had no chance at all.

"Thank you very much, Father. Please rest assured, I will definitely study hard with my brother-in-law Ouyang!"

"Ah."

Seeing Zhu Biao so happy, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little resentful in his heart. Was he right or wrong to let Zhu Biao and Ouyang Lun be together? Could that boy Ouyang Lun have led Zhu Biao astray?

When Zhu Yuanzhang had such thoughts in his heart, he felt bad.

He suddenly remembered his two sons, Zhu Di and Zhu Bai. These two sons had indeed learned a lot from Ouyang Lun, but their thoughts had become strange and their actions were even more sinister. The Yuan Dynasty was in charge of Liaoning in Yunnan. Wang was killed by Zhu Di with a cannon.

Zhu Di and Zhu Bai are princes, so it is acceptable to use some insidious tricks, but Zhu Biao is the prince and the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. If he also learns Ouyang Lun's virtues, it is difficult to imagine what will happen in the future when Zhu Biao ascends the throne. Such a scene.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang already felt a little regretful, but he had already said these words and took them back in front of so many people. Wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face?

We can only find an opportunity to remind Ouyang Lun and ask him to teach Zhu Biao more serious methods, such as how to designate five-year plans, such as carrying out large-scale infrastructure construction, such as establishing state-owned enterprises, etc., as for collecting door fees, giving gift boxes, and issuing year-end bonuses, Forget it about bargain hunting in the stock market.

"Father, since today is a family banquet, why not call sister Anqing and brother-in-law Ouyang over? Anyway, there are no elders in brother-in-law Ouyang's family, and the clan residence is in the palace, so it only takes a stick of incense to come here."

Zhu Biao suggested.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang moved in his heart and nodded, "Biao'er, your suggestion is not bad. That guy Ouyang Lun is staying in the Zongren Mansion. Why don't you come over and have a drink with me? Besides, I still miss Xiaopingan." of!"

"Sister, you should call Ouyang Lun in advance!"

Empress Ma rolled her eyes, "Chongba, I showed you the family dinner list. At that time, I also asked you whether to invite Ouyang and Anqing. It was you who said you didn't want to see Ouyang Lun."

"Ahem." Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice in embarrassment, "Have we really said this? Why do we have no memory at all? Maybe we have said it, but it must be because what Ouyang Lun did made us so angry, so Such angry words!”

Queen Ma turned her head and ignored Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Biao quickly looked away and pretended not to see all this.

"Wang Zhong."

"I'm here." Wang Zhong came forward from behind.

"Go and call Ouyang Lun, An Qing, and Xiao Ping'an, and tell them that I want to drink Ouyang Lun's Maotai wine."

"Yes!"

Wang Zhong left after accepting the order.

After a while, Wang Zhong returned to Fengtian Hall.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that there was no one behind Wang Zhong, he immediately asked: "Where is Ouyang Lun?"

"Your Majesty, Ouyang's consort is not coming." Wang Zhong replied helplessly.

"Not coming? He is so brave, dares to disobey orders and be disrespectful?!" Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in a deep voice, and the entire Fengtian Palace suddenly fell silent.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang said that he would entertain his father-in-law at home today. Time is short and he has already drunk a lot of wine. If he comes here at this time, he is afraid that he will offend his holy face, so he refuses to come!" Wang Zhong said truthfully: "Although Prince Consort Ouyang is a human being, He didn’t come, but I asked him to bring two altars that had been stored for ten years!”

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Entertaining father-in-law? Didn't he drink with Xu Da yesterday? Why are he still drinking?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Your Majesty, this time Prince Consort Ouyang entertained not Duke Wei, but Duke Xin." Wang Zhong continued: "I saw with my own eyes that Prince Consort Ouyang and Duke Xin were very drunk, and they were holding each other's arms. call each other brothers."

"Tang He?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Ji Gang beside him.

"Your Majesty, it's true. Duke Xin went to the clan mansion very early today." Ji Gang confirmed.

"Father, why don't you go to the clan mansion to invite Ouyang's brother-in-law, and also invite Duke Xin to come with you? Duke Xin is your sworn brother, so it's no problem if this is a family banquet." Zhu Biao suggested.

"That's all. Since I've already drunk, don't bother me."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and then waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Zhu Biao nodded.

Just when everyone thought this episode was about to end, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again.

"Wang Zhong, go to the clan residence again and tell Ouyang Lun that I will go to his place tomorrow night and ask him to be prepared."

Ah!
Wang Zhong, Zhu Biao and others were stunned when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

They never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would come to visit him after being rejected.

"Father, are you really going to go!?"

"Of course, Tang He and Xu Da are Ouyang Lun's father-in-law. They have all gone. Why can't I go as well? Is it possible that you want your sister Anqing to be bullied?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Not only am I going, the queen and you are also going with me!"

"If I see An Qing being wronged, I will never forgive him!"

(ps: I will have a day off at the end of tomorrow. See you in April! I wish everyone the best!)
