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

Chapter 529 Oh, I can’t control this! (Subscribe please!!)

"Ouyang Lun, you are a bastard. You dare to tell me what to do just because you are a little smart. I think you don't want to live anymore!"

"Old Zhu, do you have any shame? Do you think I want to tell you so much? You begged me for it? Now that you have the solution, you immediately say that I like to give orders? Old Zhu, you change your face faster than you can turn the pages of a book!"

"Please? I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and I need to beg you? I was giving you a chance to show off, but you took advantage of me. I must teach you a lesson today!"

"It's still unclear who will get the better of whom today! If it weren't for the fact that you're an old man in your sixties, I would have already knocked you to the ground and given you a good beating!"

"You are so boastful, but you are still in your mother's belly when I was on the battlefield killing the enemy! Even if I am old, it is still easy for me to deal with you!"

"Old Zhu, I see that not only are you getting older and more irritable, but your ability to brag has also improved! You will die if you don't brag!"

"Asshole, Ouyang Lun, let go of me, you are pulling my beard!"

"Old Zhu, you are even more insidious. You even pinched me there! Then don't blame me!"

Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang both grabbed each other's hands with their own hands, as if they were wrestling.

"Father, brother-in-law, calm down! Don't get into trouble by fighting!"

Seeing this, Zhu Biao hurriedly stood at the edge and shouted.

"Brother-in-law, you saw what happened just now. It wasn't me, Ouyang Lun, who caused the trouble. It was your father who was holding on to it. So I'll give it my all!"

Ouyang Lun responded.

"Biao'er, don't worry about this. I have plenty of ways to deal with this guy Ouyang Lun!"

"Today I must let him know who is the master of this world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also spoke.

Wang Zhong also hurried forward to dissuade them, hoping to separate Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang. However, instead of separating the two, Wang Zhong was punched by Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun during the action.

Now Wang Zhong had panda eyes.

"Ouch!"

Wang Zhong covered his eyes and backed away repeatedly.

"Oh, I can't do anything about it!" Wang Zhong shook his head and ran out of the palace. "Hurry up, someone come! His Majesty and the Prince Consort are fighting!"

"Her Majesty the Queen, Princess Anqing, please go and have a look, or else something terrible will happen!"

Wang Zhong ran out and found Empress Ma, Princess Anqing and others who were playing in the garden.

"what!"

"My husband and father are fighting?!" Princess Anqing was shocked and immediately prepared to rush back.

But she was stopped by Empress Ma, "Why are you going? Let the men solve their problems. We women should not interfere."

"But behind the scenes, my father is the emperor after all. If my husband hurts my father, it would be a serious crime!"

"Why don't I go and take a look? My husband and father will probably not fight again for my sake."

Princess Anqing said this as she tried to walk out.

"Anqing, just stay here with your mother. I am familiar with the personalities of your father and Ouyang. Don't worry, they just want to fight and vent their anger. Once they have vented their anger, everything will be back to normal."

"Let's ignore them now and wait for them to stop on their own."

Empress Ma took Princess Anqing's hand, and with her other hand took Crown Princess Xu's hand, and sat down again.

"It's the Queen Mother."

Since Empress Ma did this, both Princess Anqing and Crown Princess Xu had no choice but to sit still.

"Wang Zhong."

"The minister is here."

"You should go back quickly. We won't go there. Remember to arrange for the imperial physician to arrive in advance. Also, take a look at yourself. You have been beaten into panda eyes and your nose is still bleeding!"

"Yes Yes."

Wang Zhong originally wanted to ask Empress Ma and others to go back and stop Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun from fighting, but he did not expect this result, so he could only pay his respects and leave.

When Wang Zhong rushed back to the palace with the imperial physician for the family banquet, he found that Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang had stopped fighting. Instead, both of them were slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Ouyang Lun, I have been tolerant and kind to you, haven't I? Please stop being ungrateful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Be good to me? If you really want to be good to me, then stop the morning court. Aren't you tired of having to act with an emperor like you so early in the morning?"

"This morning court is a bad habit that will cause harm for thousands of years. Old Zhu, if you stop attending the morning court now, thousands of years from now, countless people will definitely thank you."

Ouyang Lun waved his hand and said.

To be honest, Ouyang Lun was quite accustomed to the life in the Ming Dynasty. The only thing he found difficult to accept was the morning court sessions. He had to get up before dawn to attend the court sessions, which was simply inhuman torture!
Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's morning court, the morning meetings and early morning conferences in later generations are nothing.

Ouyang Lun once suspected that the predecessor of these morning meetings and early morning conferences was the early morning court!

No wonder so many leaders like to hold meetings. They are just standing from the emperor’s perspective.

If I were an emperor, I would also like to hold morning meetings!

Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, and then his head shook like a rattle, "Stop the morning court? How is that possible?!"

joke!

The morning court system has been used in almost every dynasty. The emperor and his ministers discuss state affairs and make many national policies. This is the core system for managing the country. If the morning court system is removed, how can the emperor communicate with the officials and how can he designate policies for governing the country? ?
Wouldn’t the world be in chaos then?
And based on Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Ouyang Lun, the reason why Ouyang Lun asked him to cancel the morning court was obviously that he wanted to sleep in with a clear excuse!
"Ouyang Lun, it seems that I have been too lenient with you. I have already allowed you not to come every time, but you actually want to stop the morning court. This is simply asking for trouble!!"

"If there is no morning court system, how can such a huge Ming Dynasty be managed?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly, his words full of dissatisfaction.

Ouyang Lun had anticipated Zhu Yuanzhang's opposition. Now that he had spoken, he would not give up so easily. He took a deep breath, and then - started to criticize!
"Old Zhu, I think you are the one who is talking nonsense!"

"It's not even daybreak yet, and you have to come to the palace to attend the morning court earlier than daybreak!" "The key is that even if you come so early, you will just be waiting in front of the palace gate. By the time the morning court is over, it will be almost noon. This is simply risking your life to be an official!"

"The morning court system is designed this way. In my opinion, it is just to satisfy your desire to be emperor!"

"Do you know that everyone won't live long? It's because of this!"

"Old Zhu, listen to me. Cancel the morning court session and let everyone rest well before going to work. I can guarantee that the officials of the Ming Dynasty will live at least ten years longer!"

"Old Zhu, you can live a few more years."

Ouyang Lun had already had objections to the morning court system. Since he was going to fight Zhu Yuanzhang anyway, he might as well take advantage of the alcohol to say everything he wanted to say!

"Father, brother-in-law, please stop arguing!"

Zhu Biao's face was also covered with bruises. This was because he had just tried to stop the fight after Wang Zhong left and was accidentally injured.

Seeing that Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang had finally stopped fighting, Zhu Biao was worried that they would fight again.

"If other people knew about this, it would be embarrassing!"

Zhu Biao continued to persuade.

Of course, Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Biao's persuasion.

"Old Zhu, just tell me the truth, are you going to cancel this morning court?" Ouyang Lun asked directly.

"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and chest, and said proudly: "Ouyang Lun, you are so good to me. As long as I am still alive, don't even think about canceling the morning court!"

"Humph, how could I not know you? You are just lazy!"

"It's okay if you're lazy, but don't expect everyone to be like you!"

"Yes, yes, I admit that I am quite lazy. I will never sit if I can sit, and I will never sit if I can lie down. It is precisely because of this that my mentality is good, and this is destined to make me live longer!" Ouyang Lun glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, everything your son-in-law does is for you!"

"For me? Ouyang Lun is really talking nonsense. It's obvious that you are doing this for yourself!" Zhu Yuanzhang has developed a strong immunity to Ouyang Lun's deception and will not be fooled easily.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce opposition, Ouyang Lun couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang was becoming more and more shrewd and harder to fool.

So, Ouyang Lun decided to change his trick. Oh, not to persuade!
"Your Majesty, I am really doing this for you. You are already over sixty, right?" Ouyang Lun continued, "In today's Ming Dynasty, this age is definitely a very long life!"

"But your majesty, are you sure you can do this for how long?"

"One year, five years, or ten years? Well, ten years is the maximum."

"But if Your Majesty does not attend the morning court, but combines work and rest to allow your body to get enough rest, you may be able to surpass ten years!"

"Surpass ten years? Do you think you are a miracle doctor? I don't believe it. Even if I have to attend the morning court every day, I believe I can live more than ten years!" Although Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little moved in his heart, he still showed an indifferent look on his face.

"Your Majesty, even if your physical fitness can support it, what about the civil and military officials who act with you? They get up earlier than you every day, and have to go through many tedious tasks such as going from the mansion to the palace, and then from the palace to the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

"I'll be exhausted sooner or later!"

"The purpose of selecting officials is to let them serve the Ming Dynasty and give full play to their abilities!"

"Instead of having the morning court, we might as well let them do more things. This way it will be more efficient!"

"Old Zhu, think about it carefully."

After Ouyang Lun finished speaking, Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said, "Father, I think your brother-in-law's idea is feasible."

"When I was inspecting the various government offices in the capital, I found that many officials were distracted by the early morning court and were unable to handle government affairs."

"And I often visit sick ministers on behalf of the emperor, many of whom are sick from overwork."

"Some officials are old and their bodies are not able to cope with the situation."

Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Ouyang Lun immediately gave a thumbs up, "My brother-in-law, the Crown Prince, is really conscious! Unlike Old Zhu, he always thinks of himself!"

"When governing a country, people should be the most important thing. We should not only treat the people well, but also treat the officials who work hard well. Giving them a full platform to perform will have a much faster effect than forcing them to find solutions to problems!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you will never know how happy it is to be a hands-off manager."

"Old Zhu, don't be so stubborn. This problem should have been taken seriously a long time ago. You are not as conscious as the prince's brother-in-law on this point!"

"And talking to you is really tiring."

Zhu Yuanzhang almost fainted when he heard this, "Ouyang Lun, you bastard, you are trying to sow discord between me and Biao'er!"

"Hey, stop talking nonsense! Be careful or I'll sue you for defamation!" Ouyang Lun immediately took a few steps back. Zhu Yuanzhang had drunk a lot today, and he was the type who would pounce on him if he said so.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry at first, but suddenly he calmed down and muttered, "I will soon be the emperor, and Biao'er will succeed him as the emperor. He will also attend the morning court in the future. In this case, Biao'er, you can decide on this matter!"

"Biao'er, father has to remind you not to be fooled by Ouyang Lun!"

"That's right! Only when you know how to delegate power can you live an easy life." Ouyang Lun said with relief.

Zhu Biao also quickly expressed his opinion, "Please rest assured, father, I will definitely handle this matter properly!"

"Brother-in-law, regarding the issue of whether to attend the morning court, I want to have a good talk with you after I go down. You must help me more!"

Looking at Zhu Biao's eager eyes, Ouyang Lun also understood that he got rid of Crown Prince Zhu Biao by pushing Zhu Biao to inherit the throne, but the next "Emperor" Zhu Biao would probably still harass him!
Somewhat unwise!
"Don't worry, Prince, I will help us if I can!"

Ouyang Lun replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Since you mentioned canceling the morning court session, have you already thought of a solution?"

"No! I just wanted to cancel the morning court." Ouyang Lun shook his head. "Hey, Lao Zhu, please don't look at me like that. I really didn't know!"

"If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. I don't want to hear it either!" Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the wine jar, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Drink, drink!"

Because of drinking, Ouyang Lun, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao drank until late at night, and all three of them fell to the ground.

Empress Ma and others came back from the garden and were speechless when they saw the three people lying on the ground. Empress Ma, Crown Princess Xu, and Princess Anqing looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Then let's each take our men away!"

Queen Ma spoke.

"Okay, mother!" Princess Anqing and Crown Princess Xu nodded.

Then Empress Ma left with Zhu Yuanzhang, Crown Princess Xu left with Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and Princess Anqing left with Ouyang Lun.
