Chapter 30 complete the sacrifice
A large group of folks and elders came early the next day, and Zhu Biao hurriedly invited them into the tent.
Listen to them talking about how close they are to Zhu Biao's grandfather, how they took care of Zhu Yuanzhang when he was a child, and so on.
Zhu Biao didn't bother arguing with them whether they ever took care of his father.
Keep a polite manner throughout the whole process, no matter who talks to him, just looking at the age of fifty, he will bend down respectfully and listen, nodding from time to time.
He doesn't care about these things, but if he wants to achieve great things, he won't easily stain himself.
These old guys are elders after all, even if Zhu Yuanzhang came, he would not be so stern, let alone him.
The higher the status, the more close you are to the people at the bottom, so that the reputation will spread.
You can still be considered majestic if you flirt with high-status people, but it would be too boring if you flirt with these people.
Among them was Liu Yuanwai Liu De who was kicked out when Zhu Yuanzhang went to ask for a piece to bury his parents.
Zhu Biao was the same to him. Hearing what he said with tears, thank you Wu Wang Kuanren, Zhu Biao also said a few words of relief.
Even if I wanted to kill him, I couldn't!
Zhu Yuanzhang came to his hometown last year to rebuild the mausoleum of his parents and eldest brother. Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned all the surviving people in his hometown, and then had a banquet with them and talked about the past.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang also appointed Liu Ying, the son of his benefactor Liu Jizu, as the mausoleum guard, fully responsible for guarding the mausoleum, and this Liu Yuanwai was also specially recruited by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Biao still doesn't know who his father is?
Peerless ruthless man, if he didn't kill all of Liu De's family, it would be a rare day for him to soften his heart.
But Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not kill him, but also rewarded him with 30 hectares of land.
If Zhu Yuanzhang only wanted to be king of Wu, then Liu De’s entire family would have to die, but since he wanted to be emperor, he couldn’t easily kill these elders in his hometown.
Liu Bang, a scoundrel who became the emperor, knew how to exempt his hometown from corvee and taxes, let alone their father and son!
The township party is a very important force in this era!
Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals are from the township party, including Xu Datanghe and others, and most of his pro-army are selected from here.
After talking for about an hour before setting out to sacrifice, the local officials had already started preparations. Zhu Biao first went in by himself and knelt down to tell his grandparents and uncle about the situation at home.
This is not a formal sacrificial ceremony, and the ceremony will not start until a while later. There are strict regulations on what to say and what to do.
Zhu Biao didn't believe in these things at first, but he has since he traveled through time.
Zhu Biao babbled on for a long time, and the mausoleum guard Liu Yinglai called him before it was over.
After going out, he changed into white clothes and began the formal sacrificial ceremony. From noon to night, Zhu Biao was almost too tired to walk, and his face turned pale.
Seriously suspect that Comrade Zhu got scared after being tortured like this last year, so he let his son suffer for him!
But of course it’s not over yet, can these folks spend a day with you in vain?
In the evening, Zhu Biao returned to his hometown village under the guard of a hundred soldiers led by Quan Xu and Lan Yu, and invited all the elders of the village to hold a banquet!
The next day was also the same process. After finally finishing the work, and pushed a few concubines who were brought in, Zhu Biao finally fell asleep with peace of mind.
On the morning of the third day, Zhu Biao led people from door to door to send warmth to the elderly, and he was able to leave in the afternoon, which was considered to have completely completed the task given by his father this time.
And made up his mind to let his son come later! Even if I'm killed, I won't come!
On the way back, Zhu Biao passed by big towns and did not stop, nor did he leave the team to see and see, even if he really wanted to.
Instead, he ordered Lan Yu to send someone to buy some things for children, and bought more, after all, there were more and more children in the palace.
And I also have a little ancestor. The year before last, Mrs. Ma gave birth to his own sister, who has not yet been named.
But Zhu Biao still likes his younger sister very much. No matter how busy she is with her studies, she always goes to see her and give her a hug every two days. After all, she is her real sister!
After another five days of raiding, he returned to Yingtian Wu Wangfu. Lan Yu sent him into the mansion and returned to the barracks to report. He was not qualified to meet Zhu Yuanzhang directly.
As soon as Zhu Biao entered the gate of the palace, he saw Liu Jin rushing over. He looked worse than Zhu Biao, and Liu Jin burst into tears instantly: "Master! You have been here for so many days, but you are worried about the death of slaves, aren't you? Are you exhausted? This servant is going to prepare hot water and your favorite meals!"
Zhu Biao also couldn't see any hypocrisy, so he nodded and let Liu Jin prepare!
Seeing Liu Jin who hurried to prepare for himself, even Zhu Biao was a little moved.
This is how eunuchs survive! He devoted himself wholeheartedly to his master.
Zhu Biao shook his head and straightened his clothes, then walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang's study. Along the way, many servants saw him and hurriedly saluted to welcome him back.
When we arrived at the door of the study, the guards moved out of the way, and there were no eunuchs waiting inside.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like or trust eunuchs, so there were no big eunuchs around him, they were just those who were in charge of delivering tea and pouring water, and places like the study were even forbidden to enter.
