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

When Huang Zicheng came out of the Duke of Korea's mansion, he was in high spirits!

At this moment, Huang Zicheng did not feel any pain about going to a difficult area for internship. On the contrary, his heart was full of expectations for the future.

With the appreciation of Emperor Zhu Biao and the support of the old Prime Minister Li Shanchang, Huang Zicheng felt that he was not much inferior to Ouyang Lun, and he would definitely be able to keep pace with Ouyang Lun in the future!
Li Shanchang in the Duke of Korea's mansion also had a smile on his face at this moment.

After fooling Huang Zicheng and pushing the most difficult task to Huang Zicheng, Li Shanchang suddenly felt relieved.

"Haha, it was the right decision for me to train capable newcomers."

"If I only rely on Lan Yu and his group of warriors, I will be exhausted to death!"

"Qi Tai is watching over the outside affairs, and Huang Zicheng is taking care of the internal affairs. I am not at all weak and can sit on the Diaoyutai!"

Although it was somewhat unethical to deceive Huang Zicheng, this was indeed a good opportunity for training. As long as Huang Zicheng could do a good job, Li Shanchang would naturally do his best to help Huang Zicheng get promoted. After all, Huang Zicheng was his right-hand man!

Moreover, seeing Huang Zicheng's face full of fighting spirit when he left, Li Shanchang became more confident about this internship competition.

In the internship competition, Li Shanchang was most afraid of Ouyang Lun, but unfortunately, as the chief minister of the cabinet, Ouyang Lun naturally could not lead the team himself, while he had Huang Zicheng leading the team himself. Apart from Ouyang Lun, Li Shanchang really couldn't think of anyone else in the prince consort's party who could deal with Huang Zicheng.

As long as Huang Zicheng leads the team and achieves good results this time, the Huaixi Party will surely be able to suppress the Prince Consort Party again!

"Come here, arrange two maids for me today. I want to enjoy myself today!"

"Okay sir."

In the past, most of the Ming army was controlled by Huaixi Party generals. It can be said that the Huaixi Party had absolute say in military matters.

However, because of what Lan Yu and his adopted sons did, it can be said that the hearts of the lower-level soldiers were deeply broken. If the Huaixi Party generals had not controlled the high-level positions in the army, the Huaixi Party would never have been able to maintain such a great voice.

After the incident with Lan Yu's adopted son, the influence of the Huaixi Party on the army was significantly weakened.

Many lower-level military officers who had previously been unwilling to go along with the Huaixi Party were promoted, which also weakened the influence of the Huaixi Party.

Of course, even so, the Huaixi Party is still the largest force in the Ming army.

However, as the court took the initiative to distribute year-end bonuses to the soldiers this time, the hearts of the middle and lower-level soldiers became closer to the court, and they were not so afraid of the Huaixi Party, because they all knew that they were not loyal to the Huaixi Party, but to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Suburban military camp.

A bonfire was burning at this moment, and the atmosphere in the military camp was quite warm.

Wang Qiang, who has been promoted to the rank of a thousand-man commander, is now also the commander-in-chief of this military camp.

"Brothers, today's barbecue was sent to us by His Majesty the Emperor himself!"

"We are on duty so we can't drink, but we can have as much meat as we want today!"

Wang Qiang said loudly.

"Long live your majesty!"

The soldiers in the entire camp were shouting wildly.

"His Majesty not only rewarded us with barbecue, but also said that the court would prepare a year-end gift for us soldiers who participated in the conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

"You've all heard about the year-end gifts, right? In previous years, they were only given to civil and military officials and outstanding citizens!"

"This year, His Majesty has prepared one for us as well! What does this mean? It means that His Majesty has never forgotten us from the beginning to the end!"

"Remember, we are loyal to the Crown Prince of Ming!"

Wang Qiang had already seen through the true face of the Huaixi Party. Now as the military management becomes more transparent, junior officers like them are not so afraid of the Huaixi Party. Besides, this is his military camp and he is the real military supervisor. The soldiers on the scene are all brothers who have followed him through life and death!

"Your Majesty is so wise!"

"Before, all our military achievements were taken away and given to the generals of the Huaixi Party. Not only did we not get any credit, we didn't even get any reward money!"

"That's right. If something goes wrong and it's obviously not our fault, we have to take the blame!"

"It's all good now. Lan Yu's adopted sons have been beheaded, and our military merits have been returned."

"In addition to His Majesty, we should also be grateful to Prince Consort Ouyang. If Prince Consort Ouyang hadn't spoken for us, we might not have gotten back our credit!"

"That's right, the Prince Consort has been very kind to us!"

"Haha, no matter what, the credit has been paid off, and there are prizes. These days are really getting more and more promising."

"That's right. Now everyone is saying that since Prince Consort Ouyang became the Prime Minister, everyone's life has become better. I really hope that Prince Consort Ouyang can continue to be the Prime Minister!"

These voices in the military camp would naturally reach the ears of the Huaixi Party generals, and finally reach the ears of Li Shanchang and Lan Yu.

However, even if Lan Yu, Li Shanchang and others knew about this, there would be nothing they could do. After all, this was an order from the emperor. In addition, it was said that even the emperor praised it when he knew about it.

This made the Huaixi Party even more reluctant to act rashly.

And just like that, time finally came to the end of the year.

In the capital city alone, although there was heavy snow, it did not stop people's enthusiasm for the New Year. Every household hung up red lanterns and red couplets, and spontaneously cleared the snow in front of their doors, and even the snow on the streets was cleared!

Firecrackers also go off from time to time!

The people's faces were filled with happy smiles.

The same was true in the military camp. In addition to the soldiers who were assigned to patrol duty, other soldiers were also actively preparing. The wine and food awarded by the emperor were also delivered to the military camp in carts. It was said that at the suggestion of Prince Consort Ouyang, the court also invited many recent opera troupes and female dancers! !
The soldiers' eyes were filled with anticipation.

Of course, the most grand and luxurious one must be in the palace!
This year can be said to be the first full year of Zhu Biao's reign as emperor, and he accomplished several major events. Good news of bumper harvests also came from all over the country, which made everyone spontaneously want to celebrate.

The palace was laid with red carpets, and there were every Chinese New Year element, including red lanterns, red silk, etc.!
Not only that, the palace is also preparing a banquet. Banquets will be arranged in the palace every day these days.

And in the Taile Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat quietly in the pavilion with Empress Ma, watching the snow.

"Girl, look how nice the snow is this year!"

“Next year will definitely be a good harvest.”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Empress Ma with great pity because of her weak health. As she had been lying down for a long time, her legs were swollen and she could not walk normally. She could only sit in a chair.

"Sister, such a beautiful snow scene, it would be nice if you could walk with us." "Zhongba, isn't it nice to sit like this? At least I can accompany you." Queen Ma's face was pale and she forced a smile.

Just at this moment, Wang Zhong walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Consort has sent someone over."

"Why did that kid Ouyang Lun send someone here at this time? We didn't call him?" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"Your Majesty, the person sent by the Prince Consort said that he does not want to see you, but the Empress Dowager." Wang Zhong said cautiously.

"See the girl? What is this guy doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang was even more confused. "Huh, if he wants to see the girl, why doesn't he come here himself? What does he want to do by sending someone here?"

"Go! Tell Ouyang Lun to send someone to get out of here!"

"Yes." Wang Zhong did not dare to disobey, so he agreed and planned to turn around and leave.

"Jungpachi."

Just at this moment, Queen Ma spoke.

"Sister?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned around quickly.

"Let the person sent by Ouyang come in." Queen Ma said weakly.

"Since the sister has spoken, Wang Zhong, go and bring the person in." Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

"Yes." Wang Zhong nodded and immediately turned around to go out and lead people.

Soon Zhou Bao followed Wang Zhong in.

"Your servant Zhou Bao greets the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager." When Zhou Bao saw Zhu Yuanzhang, his legs went weak and he knelt down.

"Zhou Bao, why did Ouyang Lun call you here?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"In reply to the Emperor, my Prince Consort knows that the Empress Dowager is not feeling well and cannot walk normally for the time being, so he stayed up late these two days to make a wheelchair and asked the servants to deliver it to you."

Zhou Bao replied quickly.

"Wheelchair?" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression eased a little after hearing this, but he still asked in a deep voice, "Where is the wheelchair?"

"Just outside."

Zhou Bao clapped his hands, and soon two servants came in carrying a wooden wheelchair. "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, this wheelchair will allow you to sit on it and move freely on a flat road. It has eight wheels with independent suspension and has a strong shock absorption capacity. It will not vibrate too much even on bumpy roads. It also has a labor-saving device, so you can move forward with just a light push."

“As long as the stairs are not too high, you can climb them.”

After listening to Zhou Bao's introduction, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, but his face was still quite serious, "Okay, I know, leave the things behind, and you can go back!"

"Yes."

Zhou Bao stood up, saluted, and then hurried away.

After Zhou Bao left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stepped forward to examine it carefully. In addition to what Zhou Bao said, the wheelchair also paid great attention to details. It was equipped with the best cushions, and the armrests and backrests were wrapped with fine fur, making it very comfortable to sit on.

"Ouyang Lun is not only good at speaking, but also has excellent cooking skills!"

"Girl, try it quickly, it's very comfortable to sit on."

Zhu Yuanzhang tried it himself and made sure there was no problem, then he decided to let Empress Ma try it as well.

"it is good!"

Queen Ma smiled and nodded, "Ouyang is a good child. I have told you many times, but you still don't listen. You always think that Ouyang has other ideas."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes and muttered, "That kid doesn't have enough ideas? Look for yourself, sister, the Ming Dynasty today is very different from the Ming Dynasty a few years ago. This is all thanks to Ouyang Lun!"

"If we don't take precautions, the Ming Dynasty might be ruled by the Ouyang family someday!"

Empress Ma was sitting in a wheelchair with a smile on her face. When she heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, she immediately said, "Chongba, are you worried that Ouyang will become Zhao Kuangyin? Are you worried that after you leave, there will be another Chenqiao mutiny?"

"I do have this concern." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded honestly.

"But don't forget that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to be the emperor. But I think that kid Ouyang might not want the throne even if you really give it to him! He doesn't even think highly of your Zhu family's throne!" Empress Ma said slowly, "With his ability, he can definitely build a dynasty outside the Ming Dynasty that is more powerful than the Ming Dynasty!"

"You are the only one who thinks that your Ming Dynasty is a hot commodity. Even though everyone is eyeing the Ming Dynasty, Ouyang Lun is definitely not one of the coveters!"

"Just relax."

After hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very complicated.

He didn't think that what Queen Ma said was completely wrong. On the contrary, he felt that Queen Ma's analysis was correct. Ouyang Lun might really look down on the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

No, our Emperor Zhu worked very hard to sit on the throne of the emperor, and you, Ouyang Lun, don’t covet it at all?
This makes us so stupid!
These are what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking in his heart. Of course, he would not say all these words out loud. After all, if he really said them out loud, he would appear to be particularly petty.

"Humph, if Ouyang Lun knew that you were so protective of him, I'm sure his tail would be up to the sky!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Sister, we also know that Ouyang Lun has no intention of becoming an emperor or a powerful official, but people will change, and no one can predict the future. We have to do our own things well. If we really die, we don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Sister, let me push you around in this garden!"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. As a woman, I will not get involved in matters between you men." Empress Ma gently pushed the wheels with both hands, and the whole wheelchair moved immediately. It was very agile and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to push it at all.

"Don't mention it, what Ouyang Lun does is really amazing!" Zhu Yuanzhang praised sincerely.

"Ouyang is a clever child. He can even make a train. Isn't it normal that he can make this?" The smile on Queen Ma's face became even brighter. Due to her poor health, she had been staying in her room all this time. Now with this wheelchair, it is very convenient.

Zhu Yuanzhang accompanied Empress Ma for several walks in the garden. Both of them were very happy and even had a snowball fight.

Empress Ma's complexion also looked much better. Seeing that the snow was getting heavier, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Empress Ma back to the room. The wheelchair that Ouyang Lun had made was equipped with a hot water bottle and a stove device, making the wheelchair quite warm.

After settling Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang came into the study.

"General Ji Gang pays homage to the Emperor!"

Ji Gang walked in and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, obviously having something to report. (End of this chapter)
