Chapter 39 Insufficient hearts
Zhu Biao led Zhu Di to sit in the carriage, Zhu Di opened the curtain and glanced at the Li Mansion hidden in the darkness behind him.
Zhu Biao glanced at him: "What do you understand?"
Zhu Di shook his head blankly: "I seem to understand but I don't seem to understand."
Zhu Biao smiled and touched Zhu Di's head, then leaned on the soft cushion and began to think quietly.
"Li Shanchang is in a dilemma now, I don't know how to choose."
After a while, he arrived at Wu Wangfu. Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to take Zhu Di back to rest, while he went to Zhu Yuanzhang's study.
Along the way, Zhu Biao carefully compared the Li Mansion with his own Wang Mansion, and it was indeed better than the Wang Mansion.
No one went in to report. Since Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't returned to his room to rest, he was waiting for him specially.
...
Zhu Biao couldn't help laughing: "Father, you are so leisurely."
Zhu Yuanzhang threw a fruit directly, Zhu Biao took the fruit, found a stool and moved it to Zhu Yuanzhang's lower hand and sat down.
After taking a light bite, I felt sour, but Zhu Yuanzhang still looked satisfied.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a curious tone: "I heard that Li Shanchang's mansion is very good?"
Zhu Biao couldn't bite anymore, smelled the unique taste of the fruit and said, "It's very good. Although it's not as good as Xingong, it's better than Wangfu."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Li Shanchang, he looks kind and gentle on the outside, but on the inside... that's all! A mansion is nothing, and he will be dissatisfied when you come to the door."
Zhu Biao also said with a smile: "There is no dissatisfaction. He entertained me and the fourth child in a proper manner, and the situation forced him to have any dissatisfaction."
Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said: "In the next few days, you will be able to see the attitude of the officials, and the son will not be able to spy on the affairs of the court, so I will trouble the father to send someone to take a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up: "These are not big things! Li Shanchang is just a civil servant after all."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yushu Linfeng's son: "You are not young anymore, it's time to get married."
Zhu Biao nodded as soon as he heard it: "Marriage is a major matter, and it is natural to obey the orders of your parents."
Zhu Biao doesn't care who he marries, nor does he care about beauty, ugliness, or good or bad personality.
He has a high status, and anyone who comes in will serve him.
What's more, if the married person likes it, she likes it, and if she doesn't like it, just put it there as a decoration. If she really hates it, just let her die of illness.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "You want to marry Xu Da's daughter, or Chang Yuchun's daughter."
In history, Zhu Biao married Chang Yuchun's daughter, but this woman died early, and the same is true for her eldest son.
Zhu Biao is not very satisfied, but thinking about why Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose Xu Da's daughter in history...
Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Xu's daughter is still young, even younger than his son. If the father and the king let the son choose, then it will be Uncle Chang's daughter."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile: "Okay, since you chose it, let's make it like this. We will tell Chang Yuchun when he comes back."
Zhu Biao saw that what he said was almost done, so he resigned.
Zhu Biao stopped and looked at the bright night sky, soothing his mood.
"Actually, it's understandable. Zhu Yuanzhang will only be forty years old when he founds the country next year. It's the time when a man is in the prime of his life, and it's also the time when a man's desire for power is greatest."
And my dad is already interesting enough! As the second person in the military, Chang Yuchun represented a terrifying force.
Zhu Biao silently thought: "This is fine, but we must pay attention to Chang Yuchun's body in a few years."
Zhu Biao returned to his room, and the big and small Shuang'er gently helped him take off some complicated clothes, and then looked at his son with attachment, and Yunjin brought a basin of hot water to wash his feet.
Zhu Biao touched the hair protruding from the quilt, Nuan Yu had already fallen asleep waiting, Zhu Biao suddenly thought: "It's really not enough! I was born to be the life of Tianhuang nobles in this life, and I have already become all of you. People are envious of not coming, and now they are still thinking about those useless things."
Zhu Biao calmed down his swollen heart, "I'm only in my early ten years old, what are you so anxious about?"
Zhu Biao asked Yunjin and the others to go down to rest, lay down on the warm bed by himself, turned over and hugged the sleeping Nuanyu, there was nothing to be anxious about, just like Nuanyu and the others, since they were theirs, why bother?
He fell asleep so warmly all night, and the next morning Zhu Biao woke up and had his meal, then took his younger brothers to study, and in the afternoon he led them to play, without asking about other matters.
The outside world is full of wind and clouds, and Li Shanchang's momentum seems to have reached a peak. Even the generals on the way to the Northern Expedition have letters to cheer them on.
But at this time, Li Shanchang actually accepted four concubines in one go and amassed a lot of money! The officials below reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that Li Shanchang had embezzled 10,000 taels of public funds without authorization.
Li Shanchang was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the limelight suddenly went down. Even everyone knew that Li Shanchang was self-defiled, but a stain is a stain.
Political matters don’t need a cause but only a result.
Li Shanchang entered the mansion late at night and had a secret talk with Zhu Yuanzhang all night. No one knew what was said, but the whole Yingtian Mansion changed its impetuous spirit, and everyone calmed down and prepared for the founding ceremony.
Xu Da, Chang Yuchun's Northern Expedition army was in full swing, and with the news of success, the entire city was celebrating.
When it came to the Spring Festival, Zhu Yuanzhang led his sons to worship the ancestral tablet first, and Mrs. Ma led the others to prepare the dinner. Tonight was not only a family banquet, but all the ministers and workers were already waiting outside the palace.
In a solemn house with a few tablets enshrined on it, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the front and a little behind was Zhu Biao, and the others knelt behind them.
Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his back, and said in a deep voice: "The ancestors are above! The descendants Zhu Yuanzhang was fortunate to rise in the troubled times, sweeping the Central Plains and driving the Tartars to dominate the world! Now the Yuan Dynasty will be established and the country will be established! Tomorrow, I hope that the ancestors have knowledge underground and can bless me tomorrow!"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked at the tablets of his parents, elder brother and others, wondering what he was thinking. Naturally, Zhu Biao and others did not dare to get up, and obediently knelt on the ground and looked at their knees.
I don't know how long it took, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said, "Get out!"
Zhu Biao got up but his legs were weak, and he almost knelt back again, and the legs and feet behind him were also weak.
Zhu Biao stood up reluctantly, not daring to stomp his feet in front of the ancestral tablet and said to his younger brothers: "Get up slowly, don't worry."
Then he went out slowly and followed Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him. The two of them walked silently without speaking.
After a while, the younger ones also followed up. They didn't dare to speak after seeing the atmosphere, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the hall obediently.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat, and then a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face. After a while, the gate of the palace opened, and the jubilant civil and military officials rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang impatiently and said auspicious words.
After they finished talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, they all leaned in front of Zhu Biao and kept praising him. A warm smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face, and they also dealt with it one by one.
