First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang chatted a lot until Mrs. Ma came to remind them. The two of them were stunned for a moment, then they looked at each other and smiled.

Meaningful.

In a daze, it seemed that they had returned to the beginning, Zhang Ximeng taught Zhu Yuanzhang to read, and the two of them forgot to eat and sleep. It was Ma Shi who often came to remind them to remember to eat.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly, "This time we figured it out. Ascension to the throne and proclaiming the emperor is nothing more than multiple titles, but we are still us! We should eat three bowls of rice, and we won't eat five bowls more...You say yes no?"

Ma Shi pursed his lips and smiled, "It's not like I'm getting carried away, that's the best."

Zhang Ximeng also immediately said: "If you don't forget your original intention, you will always be there!"

This trip to Zhang's mansion can be regarded as establishing the overall style.

Then Zhang Ximeng took the lead, Li Xi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Song Lian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, Zhu Sheng, a political adviser, and Liu Ji who had just returned, plus Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law Li Zhen, a total of less than ten people got together and led the establishment The preparatory team for the enthronement ceremony.

To be honest, no one thought that Li Zhen could participate, but after thinking about it, as Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, he has been in charge of logistics for many years and has rich experience.

It really shouldn't be excluded.

Zhang Ximeng said to the big guy: "What I mean is, no matter what, this enthronement ceremony is a happy event, just like doing business in the village. It is lively and earth-shattering. This is the best."

As a long-time Confucian, Li Xi didn't like to hear Zhang Ximeng compare the grand ceremony to a happy event. This is a major national event, and the new emperor's ascension to the throne is different from marrying a wife in the countryside!

He secretly slandered, but he didn't dare to say much, he could only say that he had a good opinion.

When Li Zhen heard this, she couldn't help grinning.

"That's right! Xiang Zhang made it clear that it's like having a wedding at home. I'm thinking, when a village marry a daughter-in-law and put on a banquet, first of all, there must be a list of guests, and second, there must be someone to accept gifts... It's lively Noisy, blowing and blowing is good..."

Li Xi's face turned dark, and he still treats guests and accepts gifts?

It's really a marriage and a daughter-in-law!

"The new emperor ascends the throne, and rewards the world. He should give generously to the soldiers. How can he set up a name and collect gifts? What has happened?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the superior? "

Li Zhen blinked her eyelids, she didn't say anything after all, I don't read much, so I can't shut up!

But he didn't know that this sentence actually woke up Zhang Ximeng.

In fact, holding the Enthronement Ceremony doesn't necessarily mean losing money, but you can find a way to earn a little... Although it won't be too much, it's not without small benefits.

Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang is very concerned about money, as long as he can save some money, he promises to be happy.As long as it doesn't affect the overall atmosphere, it doesn't matter.

"Li Shangshu, there is no precedent for this enthronement ceremony. If there are people who bathe in Qinghua and are willing to contribute filial piety and participate in the grand event, they can't stop their enthusiasm... I think we should set up a special place to collect The money...Of course, the money must be used for the grand ceremony, and not a single bit of it is allowed to be abused, otherwise it will be deceiving the emperor!"

Li Xi was stunned, and looked at Zhang Ximeng foolishly, what a fantasy!

Collecting money through the enthronement ceremony, you really, really have nothing to say...

He was speechless, but Zhang Ximeng handed over the matter to Li Zhen, and then discussed about issuing invitations.

Sure enough, according to the number of ways to get married in the village, after the preliminary talk, Li Xi shook his exhausted body and went to Zhongshu Province to meet Li Shanchang.

Li Xiang, you better think of a way!

Otherwise, our superiors will be ridiculous.

Li Shanchang was also stunned when he heard it at first, he had to call all the ministers together, and had a good discussion, while Li Zhen's side had already started to act.

The first invitation was bustling, and it was sent to Timur's firm first.

As the most successful Mongolian aristocrat who underwent transformation, Yexian’s business flourished and he accumulated a lot of money, and he was also considered generous. He gave a lot of care to the rest of the Mongolians. Give clothes, want to do something,

He will help arrange it.

All in all, he did his best to resolve worries and problems, Jinling rained in time, and he answered the call of heaven to protect righteousness.

But in any case, this group of reformed Mongolians is still very special.

For example, Wanhu Nahachu came to meet Yexian Timur today. The two of them drank and chatted, and gradually became drunk. Nahachu couldn't control his mouth. He wiped tears on his sleeves, and wept heavily. He pointed to his face and said bitterly: "Look! That woman, she, she dared to hit me! And she told me, how decent! A You have been shameless for a long time, how dare you pretend to be a master with her? If you have the ability, go back to Dadu and assist your emperor!

In Jinling, just listen to my old lady... Listen, what is this called! "

Naha let out snot and tears, telling his grievances.Not long ago, Naha was introduced by someone and married a daughter of a wealthy family.

This wealthy family has been deprived of a lot of land, and it belongs to the down-and-out kind.

The daughter was engaged earlier, but her husband died later, and she never got married.

Naha felt that it was not bad at all. He was alone, and sooner or later he would start a family and take care of each other, so he agreed.

But after getting married, he discovered that this daughter-in-law was down and out, and she was very particular about poverty, and she couldn't satisfy herself, so she started arguing.

From the initial bickering, it gradually developed to poking at the weak point, exposing the old man, what Mongolian tartars, what dog captives, who stinking surrender... what is so hard to hear, it drove Nahachu crazy!

"I, I just don't have the right now, otherwise I, I will kill her and twist her head off! This is too bullying!"

Timur opened his mouth first, but he didn't know what to say!

No matter how much you talk about it, in the eyes of some people, they are still Mongolian captives.

"Naha, you also want to open a little bit. There are still many people who can't even marry a wife. Now that you have a family, you should learn to be patient... Turn around, I will give you two hundred coins, and you take it back , seeing the money, I guess it will be more stable."

When Naha heard this, he was not happy at all. Instead, he looked up to the sky and smiled wryly, full of sad tears, and a stream of Coptis chinensis poured on his heart!

"Yeah, after all, it's not the Yuan Dynasty anymore! You and I can't be confident anymore! Otherwise, why would you give me money? You give me a machete and let me cut that woman's head Cut it off! This is us Mongolian men,

Happy Enmity! "

"shut up!"

Also first Timur interrupted him, "You...you are talking nonsense, King Wu gave us a way to survive, we should be grateful to Dade.

The people who have subjugated the country in the past dynasties, how can they compare with us?Think about it, how did Emperor Shizu treat the Great Song clan, you,

What are you not satisfied with? "

Naha was startled, and suddenly grinned wryly, "A subjugated person, really a subjugated person! When the country is subjugated, even a dog is inferior."

He lay on the table, howling and crying.

Faced with this situation, he knew better than anyone else the reason why Timur fell into silence again first, but, like Nahachu, it was really hard to bear a stomach full of grievances and being bullied every day!

"How about, why don't you divorce that woman? I, I will find a way to help you file a lawsuit!"

Naha's crying paused slightly, and then she cried even worse.

"It's better not to worry about yourself. People should say that we don't know what's good or bad, and think it's the Yuan Dynasty, which can be domineering!"

Also first Timur sighed repeatedly, grabbed the jug, but it was empty, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Don't cry, I'll get some of the best kumiss, let's rest as soon as we're drunk, and when we're drunk, we'll drink it." Don't worry about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang's alcohol prohibition still exists, but this alcohol prohibition is aimed at grain wine, and fruit wine can still be bought and sold. As for kumiss, no one cares.

Yexian Timur was about to go to get the wine, when suddenly his staff came, flustered, seeing Yexian, he said: "

Boss, someone from Yamen is here! "

"Anyone here?"

First of all, Timur was shocked, and his heart became inexplicably panicked. Could it be that something bad happened again?

Nahachu, who was still crying, even raised his head and stared blankly. Could it be that the woman made trouble in the Yamen and wanted to sue herself?

If this is the case, I, I will fight!

The big deal is death, there is nothing to be afraid of!

Yexian Timur was still calm, he pressed Naha out, and went by himself, for about a quarter of an hour, Yexian Timur was full of spring breeze, holding a red and gold-plated invitation card in his hand, grinning to his cheek .

"Look! Just look!"

Naha was taken aback by his roar, "What? Who's married? Let you eat?"

First, Timur slapped the invitation on the table, unfolded it gently, and then laughed loudly, "It's not a wedding, it's an enthronement ceremony!"

"The Enthronement Ceremony? Is it King Wu's?" Naha said from Gu Zi: "King Wu defeated Chen Youliang at Hukou, and took over the land of Lingnan. It is also right, right, and worthy of congratulations!"

He said it on his lips, but there was a look of disappointment between his brows, and he couldn't hide it... The Yuan Dynasty may still be lingering, but the country's subjugation is inevitable.

What should they do with these Mongolians?

When he was feeling lost, Yexian Timur suddenly punched him heavily.

"Why are you in a daze? The King of Wu sent me an invitation card, let us participate in the enthronement ceremony and watch the ceremony with King Wu!"

"What?" Naha was taken aback, not daring to say anything: "King Wu, please, please let us watch the ceremony? Then, what are we?"

"Naturally, they are the people under the rule of King Wu!" Yexian Timur smiled and said, "I asked, and what King Wu has always said is to restore China, not only us Mongolians, but also the Miao people, and the people of other tribes. They are all citizens of the new dynasty, there is no distinction between high and low!"

Naha was stunned for a long time, and then cried again, but this time it was tears of joy.

"King Wu, King Wu still remembers us! King Wu regards us as his subjects!"

He suddenly reached out, grabbed the invitation, and ran outside.

"What are you doing?" Yexian Timur yelled anxiously, "Don't break it!"

"It can't be broken!" Naha yelled loudly, "I, I'm going to show that woman! Stop pretending to me! Her father is a rich man, and when he gets to the Yamen, he doesn't know who will suffer!"

First of all, Timur could only yell at Naha's back, "Be careful, don't damage the invitation card, and, you guys, are you husband and wife after all!"

After yelling, Yexian Timur's eye circles turned red, Wu Wang ascended the throne, he should also do his part

Chapter 397 Daming

Also saw Nahachu again first, this man was smiling, his whole body was full of joy, and the first thing he said when they met was, "I'm convinced!"

Really convinced, from the inside out, from head to toe, from the prostate to the tonsils... completely convinced.

Once upon a time in the prisoner-of-war camp, I learned so much and talked so much, but after all, there was still little meaning.

Just like between the classes at school and the needs of the society, there is always a big gap.

No matter how nice the words are, in the face of day and night complaints, ubiquitous white eyes, and occasional offensive words, people will have other thoughts, feel that they have been cheated, and then complain, feel sad and disappointed.

But after this invitation was sent, Nahachu no longer felt depressed and wronged. Despite all kinds of criticisms, he still could not be eliminated. He would still be regarded as a Mongol Tartar, a shameless traitor... But these are not important anymore. He could have laughed it off.

What's the use of saying this?

King Wu recognized us and invited us to the enthronement ceremony.

The national decrees are there, and the king of Wu Zhang Xiang, they leveled the water, and we were convinced.

The one surnamed Zhu is better than the one in Dadu!

For people like us, even if he is benevolent and caring, the one in Dadu will kill even Tuotuo, even if he is a Mongolian, I have to say, Zhu Yuanzhang, the real son of heaven!

"Where's your mother-in-law? You didn't hit anyone, did you?"

Naha grinned, "What are you fighting for? I am an honored guest of the King of Wu, and I can be as knowledgeable as a woman like her? You didn't see that when I waved the invitation in front of her, she was dumbfounded, wilted, and honest. …That night, I prepared hot water and washed my feet. My father-in-law and several brothers-in-law all came, bent over like a student, and asked me how I could please King Wu.”

He couldn't help laughing and said, "What did you say?"

"What else can I say! We learned it in the prisoner-of-war camp a long time ago. I reprimanded them and told them, don't ask how to please the King of Wu, but ask yourself what you can do for the country! They are all honest and keep going. Nod your head and be taught with humility"

Mentioning this, Nahachu simply grinned, releasing all the grievances in his stomach, which was really refreshing.

Yexian Timur's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but said: "You are right, we should do something, otherwise we are ashamed of showing love to King Wu!"

"Success!" Nahachu readily agreed, "Anyway, I don't have as much money as you. What do you want to do? I'll listen to you. If you have the money, you can contribute the money, and if you have the strength, you can contribute! This new country also has us, but we can't. Let others compare..."

Timur also patted his thigh first, and said excitedly: "I like to hear what you said the most. This country does have our share. We should work hard, we should work hard!"

First, Timur didn't sleep all night. He first took stock of his family's wealth, and initially estimated that he could take out [-] guan of treasure notes, and there were quite a lot of other cattle, horses, carts and boats. As long as he needed it, he was willing to donate it free of charge.

With this list, Timur also came to Zhang Ximeng first. On the way, he saw someone planning the Royal Street, planning to build a wide and straight avenue for the enthronement ceremony.

Also, Timur immediately had an idea. After seeing Zhang Ximeng, he took the initiative to say: "Mr. Zhang, I plan to donate these family properties. In addition, there are tens of thousands of Mongolians in Yingtian. We have all been transformed. Let’s start a new life. I plan to call the big guys and come over to build roads when I have time, and I hope that Zhang Xiang can help us and fulfill our hearts.”

Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, and then Timur became anxious, "Zhang Xiang, I don't mean anything else, the King of Wu regards us as human beings, and we are willing to do things for the King of Wu, it's a matter of course!"

Zhang Ximeng grinned, maybe he was thinking too much.

An invitation card, change someone to do their best, I'm afraid I can't say who is taking advantage, for these Mongolians, they need a new life, they need to prove themselves, and they need to find their own position in the new country...

"Okay, I agree, but you have to tell the big guys that you must come in your free time, you must not delay the serious business, and you have to live. Besides, after this grand ceremony, there will be some programs. You don't have a business company Well, make a more stylish sign, and when the time comes, follow the crowd and lift it up for everyone to see."

He also froze for the first time, and quickly waved his hands, "Master Zhang, this is not allowed! The enthronement ceremony is so important, how can my firm come out and be ashamed? You can't, you can't!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "You can't say that. All kinds of industries support the new monarch, which is also in line with the people's principles... Don't worry, I will put the people parading behind the enthronement ceremony, performing arts from all walks of life. Wu Datou and the others will perform on stage no matter what. What else is there to excuse?"

"Oh!" Yexian Timur understood instantly, and then couldn't help saying: "Master Zhang, I'm taking advantage of this now,

I'm afraid that after the grand ceremony, my business will prosper tenfold. "
