Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Yuan Hong thought about the appearance of Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun, and nodded secretly, guessing that Zhu Yuying's appearance must not be bad, and in this way, he also had more contacts with the Xu family, so the marriage is really good.

The more he thought about Yuan Hong, the more satisfied he was.

At this time, the servants came to report that the father-in-law from the palace had arrived. After a brief interview, he knew that the emperor had summoned him, so Yuan Hong hurriedly cleaned up and followed the father-in-law towards the palace.

On the way, Yuan Hong took out some broken silver and stuffed it in the father-in-law's hand.

The father-in-law took the money without any trace, and then smiled knowingly: "The emperor is in a good mood today, so maybe I have to congratulate my lord."

Congratulations?

Yuan Hong thought to himself, what else can his family congratulate now, but he figured it out in the next moment, the second son's marriage must be settled.

For a moment, there was a smile on Yuan Hong's eyebrows and eyes.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the memorial. Many days had passed since the last time Zhu Biao was reprimanded. Today, the memorial from the Chief Secretary of Beiping was delivered. Beiping is an important border defense town. Generally, he will check the memorial as soon as it comes.

But looking at it, he frowned.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial in his hand, searched on the case again, and found Zhu Di's memorial.

Open it up.

You read that right.

Zhu Di really proposed marriage to his daughter.

"what."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say, I just thought about my granddaughter's marriage a few days ago, and he thought about it in a blink of an eye, who gave him the courage, he is a vassal king, he doesn't do business, why do he think about it?Is it useful for him to use this marriage? !

Looking for a draw?

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to dismiss it, but his eyes fell on the word Zhenwu. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little familiar. He waved and ordered the left and right to call Jiang Xian over.

After a while, Jiang Xian came in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know the Qianhu Zhenwu in the King Yan's guard?"

Jiang Xian thought there was something important, and he was thinking about it, but he didn't expect that he was just asking someone. It happened that Zhen Wu was mentioned in the letter he received from Beiping's dark disk a few days ago, so he went to find out.

"Your Majesty, there is something about this Zhen Wu, and I plan to report it to Your Majesty. I was ordered to arrest some criminals in the Qin Palace. One of them fled to Beiping, but we haven't had time to arrest him, but we don't know why this person provoked this Zhen Wu has already been killed by this Zhen Wu, it is reported that this person should offer a reward to Zhen Wu in Jianghu, but there is no definite information yet."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "What about the others?"

others?

Jiang Xian thought briefly, then spoke.

"I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers what happened in Liaodong at the end of last year and the beginning of this year. This Zhen Wu was the one who killed the commander of Tieling Guard Zhang Quan and the son of Aza Shili in Taining Guard last year."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, suddenly realized, and murmured: "No wonder it sounds so familiar, it turned out to be him, but he is a courageous person."

He still remembers what happened last year.

Zhu Di had reported to him in detail, among which he praised Zhen Wu a lot.

Seeing this, Jiang Xian also said along the way: "It is indeed very courageous. Liu Yi, who is in charge of Beiping's secret disk, has also mentioned this person many times, saying that this person is not only loyal and brave, but also extremely intelligent."

As a close minister of Zhu Yuanzhang, he secretly probed, praised a person or slandered a person, and he had to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's will.

Just now when Zhu Yuanzhang talked about Zhen Wu, he was full of dissatisfaction when talking about it. He said that Liu Yi had sent letters many times, saying that Zhen Wu had many domineering actions.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in the mood to listen to Jiang Xian's words, so he waved his hand and let Jiang Xian back down.

He looked down at Zhu Di's memorial again.

He somewhat understood Zhu Di's thoughts, but after thinking quietly for a while, he still felt that there was no need for such a small family to win over.

Going back to get promoted and give some gifts, it is enough for Zhen Wu to be grateful.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to reject the memorial, but just as he picked up the pen, he heard a report from someone outside the door that Yuan Hong had come.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the pen he had just picked up again, intending to let Yuan Hong come in for a chat. An eunuch hurried over with a flustered expression on his face.

"His Royal Highness, Dong... East Palace has just received news that the prince... the prince is critically ill."

Zhu Yuanzhang was startled and shivered immediately, but the next moment, his cold eyes were fixed on the eunuch, making the eunuch feel like he was in an ice cave.

Zhu Yuanzhang stabilized his mind.

"Dog thing, dare to curse the prince, what is your intention, come and pull us down and beat us hard."

Left and right came out quickly, dragging the frightened eunuch down.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about other things any more, and got up from the chair directly, but he couldn't stand firmly for a while, and his body couldn't help shaking a little. He took a deep breath.

"Come here, drive the East Palace."

……

In the East Palace, in Zhu Biao's dormitory, Zhu Yunwen, who was only 14 years old, was waiting on the sidelines under the guidance of his mother, Lu Shi, with red eye circles, as if he was particularly sad because of Zhu Biao's illness.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came over, he was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, thinking that he had not helped the Lu family in vain, and then waved the two of them back.

He went straight to the bed and sat down, looking at the pale Zhu Biao, who was obviously seriously ill, surprised and distressed, he didn't understand why he suddenly became so seriously ill.

Thinking of the last quarrel, Zhu Yuanzhang felt mixed feelings for a while.

He still remembered that he was attacking Jiqing that year, and when the battle was in full swing, he heard the joy and excitement of having a son, but he didn't expect that so many years had passed in a blink of an eye.

Over the years, the two had different political opinions, and it was inevitable that they would argue, but only he knew how much he valued his son, and every time he argued, he just wanted to make this son better.

It's just that things backfired, and Zhu Biao, who was taught by the sour Confucianism, could no longer change his somewhat frail and charitable temperament.

"Father is not going to kill him." Zhu Yuanzhang said softly, "Let King Qin go back later."

He didn't know how to express his father's love, but Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Yuanzhang's actions contained a strong father-son affection for him.

Zhu Biao wanted to say something excitedly, but was stopped directly by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Biao still shook his head and said: "My son and minister are not filial, causing my father to worry, but the imperial physician has already said it's okay, but Mrs. Lu and the others make a fuss out of a molehill, and they are bothering my father."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

Zhu Biao smiled, and just about to say something else, he coughed again. Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and called the imperial doctor outside repeatedly.

The imperial physician who had been waiting outside heard this and hurried in for diagnosis and treatment.

It was busy again.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao's sleepiness, said a few words of relief, let him rest and then withdrew, and then summoned the imperial physician to inquire about his condition.

The imperial physician did not dare to say that he was dead, but only said that he had stabilized for the time being, but his condition was still dangerous. Zhu Yuanzhang was so irritable that he was not even in the mood to threaten, so he dismissed the imperial physician, and then he sat in the side room of Zhu Biao's dormitory for a long time, restless.

He blamed himself a little and wondered if it was because he forced Zhu Biao too hard last time.

At night, Zhu Biao's condition seemed to have really stabilized, and it was not as serious as it seemed during the day.

After a few more days like this, Zhu Biao was so good that he could work remotely.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang breathe a sigh of relief.

The Ming Empire he established.

He hoped that the eldest son would inherit it for a hundred generations, and if he couldn't do it for the second generation, something would go wrong.

All his life, he was a great talent, with countless merits and demerits, and now he is short of a qualified successor to inherit his legacy.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been busy, slowed down the pace of life for Zhu Biao, put down all the less important political affairs, and only waited for Zhu Biao's complete recovery.

……

Chapter 200 - Zhu Biao's death, storage position hanging

At the end of the 24th year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was ordered to lead the seven guards including Lanzhou and Zhuang Lang to pursue the grandson of the fleeing bandit Qi, and to capture the lands of Xifan and Handong.

Before the expedition, Lan Yu went to the East Palace to visit Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao leaned on the bed and told Lan Yu some precautions for this expedition, but while talking, he shook his head amusedly.

"Uncle has experienced many battles. This time, to my uncle, I'm afraid it's just some petty thieves. I'm so worried, but my uncle has always been aloof, and he needs to be humble after going out. Don't be too willful, so as not to cause trouble Come on, I just hope that my uncle will return safely as soon as possible, so I won't worry too much."

Zhu Biao's earliest concubine was Chang Yuchun's daughter, Chang Shi, and Chang Shi was also Lan Yu's niece. Naturally, Lan Yu was Zhu Biao's wife-in-law, and because of this relationship, the two had been in close contact for a long time. .

Lan Yu didn't care much about Zhu Biao's words, but he, who has always been rebellious, seemed very gentle in front of Zhu Biao. He wanted to chat with Zhu Biao for a while, but seeing that Zhu Biao's face was not very good, he nodded. The head smiled and said: "I know this, but Your Highness still needs to rest a lot and recuperate carefully. After I return from victory, I will come to the East Palace again and listen to His Highness's teachings."

Zhu Biao raised his hand and pointed at Lan Yu helplessly, but this action made him cough.

Lan Yu was worried when she saw this, and she didn't want to disturb Zhu Biao anymore, so she got up and said, "Your Highness, rest, I'll go and see that kid Yunxi."

Zhu Yunxue is Zhu Biao's third son, and the eldest son who died early was born to the Chang family. He and Lan Yu belong to the blood relatives.

Zhu Biao has a very good relationship with Chang's. Every time he sees Zhu Yunxie, he inevitably thinks of Chang's and feels sad for him. Therefore, he often avoids Zhu Yunxie.

This made Zhu Yunxi's temperament a little cautious.

Lan Yu also knew these things, and he didn't want to say more, so as not to mention Zhu Biao's sad things, so he got up and retreated, turned his head and walked towards Zhu Yunxi's yard.

Zhu Yunxie is only one year younger than Zhu Yunqiu, but he is much more cautious than Zhu Yunqiu. He always likes to play in the yard alone. Now when he was bored in the yard, he looked up and saw Lan Yu, and a smile burst out on his dull little face.

He likes Sapphire the most to come to him.

"Uncle and grandpa." Zhu Yunxi ran over excitedly, full of joy.

Sapphire stretched out her hand, caught Zhu Yunxi who was flying over, grabbed Zhu Yunxi's armpit, and took Zhu Yunxi into the air to spin twice.

In the courtyard, Zhu Yunxi's laughter immediately echoed.

As for the current Crown Princess Lu Shi next door, she was a little puzzled when she heard Zhu Yunxie's crisp laughter, which was rare in the quiet Zhu Yunxi courtyard in the past.

She raised her head and asked Zhu Yunqi, who had been sitting blankly reading a book.

"What's wrong with your third brother?"

Zhu Yunwen moved his eyes away from the book, and after a few floating lights flickered, he returned to calm, and said in a low voice, "It should be Duke Liang who came over."

Lu Shi was taken aback, his face shrugged, and he fell into deep thought.

Duke Lan Yu of Liang State is powerful and has countless generals in the military. With this person, even if her son has the status of a legitimate son, so what?

If she waited for the crown prince to slowly succeed to the throne, after both of them grew up, what leverage would her son have to fight for the throne.

If they can't compete for the big position, what should their mother and son do.

Mrs. Lu sighed faintly, which reflected Zhu Yunxie's joyful laughter.

Zhu Yunwen, who was reading, involuntarily clenched the book, he also wanted to sigh, but he didn't want to.

He stood up and said to Lu Shi, "I'm going to see my father."

……

Time flies, the new year comes and goes, everyone is living their own life, everyone is busy living, gathering into the circulation of the world, and in these ordinary days, if you don’t pay attention, time will enter April .

Spring willows are sprouting, fresh green, and some impatient flowers are already white, pink, and purple. This also adds a touch of warmth to Beiping City, an important border defense town.

During these days, a happy event happened in Zhen Wu's house.

Erxian and Zhang Wu finally got married a year ago.

Zhen Wu still remembered the night before Er Xian got married, Er Xian hid in his room, a little hesitant, a little helpless, his eyes full of anxiety.

Just like a fisherman who is about to go to sea late at night, he only knows that the journey is far away and it is still dark.

Zhen Wu stood outside the door for a long time, and left with a sigh until late at night.

Some ships have rarely returned since they left the port, like a daughter getting married at home.

This was the first time Zhen Wu encountered such a thing. His blood-related sister got married and became two families from then on. near.

As a person who has been here, Zhang Yuqing sees it very clearly. He stayed with Er Xian for several nights and told Er Xian some precautions for a new wife, which also made Er Xian feel a lot less anxious.

The fourth and fifth younger sisters had always been very happy about Er Xian's marriage, but when Er Xian got married, they probably thought of themselves, and secretly wiped their tears behind their backs. Zhen Wu didn't say anything after seeing it , He also felt uncomfortable, and really had no mood to comfort the two little girls.

At this time, Zhang Yuqing realized the benefits of being a monk and having an old man. She stood up again and angrily reprimanded everyone, telling no one to cry anymore, and they must happily marry the two sages out of the house.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi happily clapped their hands and applauded.

On the day of the wedding, it was very lively, even Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu came to join in the scene, plus many acquaintances in the army joined in, the wedding was held in a grand and dignified manner.

It's just that after Er Xian got married, Zhen Wu's mind would flash scene after scene of him and Er Xian when he was a child for many days.

For example, sharing a washbasin with two sages, sticking it in to hold your breath, or two people begging for a few pennies, happily buying some delicious food, you share the food with each other, or the parents throw it to him Both of them forgot to do their things, were criticized by their parents, and so on.

It wasn't until April that Zhen Wu came out of this emotion.
