Chapter 24 Engagement? Hongmen Banquet

Inside the Linde Hall.

Looking at the little eunuch in front of him, Zhu Shangbing turned around and left. Nothing good would happen every time he came.

Unexpectedly, before he could escape, he was caught by Zhu Ping, who carried him to his seat and sat down before speaking to the little eunuch.

"Say it."

Upon hearing this, the young eunuch nodded and informed the father and son of Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop.

Zhu Shangbing sighed. He didn't expect that Li Shanchang would go crazy before he started going crazy.

The cheap dad even showed a gloating smile. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Dad, what are you laughing at? Are you thinking of the princess of the fief?"

Zhu Ping, who was originally smiling, had a frozen expression. He slowly approached Zhu Shangbing and wanted to sharpen his knife.

If a eunuch hadn't stopped him, he would have been beaten again.

Zhu Shangbing, who had escaped the disaster, had just returned to the yard. Before he could take a breath, several big guys in his mind started teasing him.

"Xiao Zhu has reached the age of marriage in a blink of an eye, and he still doesn't know what his wife looks like."

"I don't know why Li Er's words remind me of an old friend, his surname is Cao."

Li Shimin smiled and spoke, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liang's voice was heard.

During the Three Kingdoms period, an old friend named Cao.

Who else is there besides Cao Cao?

Zhu Shangbing couldn't help laughing. If he could see Li Shimin's face, he would probably be angry now. What Zhang Liang said does make sense.

Thinking of Zhang Wanzhi, whom I have never met.

He really didn't have any good feelings in his heart. Perhaps he was aware of Zhu Shangbing's mood at this time. The people in his mind stopped making noise and consciously entered the small dark room.

"Zhu Lang, if you really don't like it, why don't you ask me to go to the battlefield to fight. The outside of the Great Wall is naturally not as good as the palace, but freedom is hard to redeem."

General Huo comforted him softly. After hearing this, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but nodded and made a decision in his heart.



Stay in the palace.

All civil and military officials arrived one after another and greeted each other with smiles.

The center of focus was naturally King Qin and Zhu Shangbing, who were being chatted with by several officials.

Fortunately, Deng Zhen arrived at the scene in time and found a reason to take the two away.

Before Zhu Shangbing could say anything, the people in front of him were smiling and congratulating him.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness, the daughter of Marquis Zhang Yi of Heqing is rumored to be good-looking and a beautiful person. This is a little bit of kindness from being an uncle. Please accept it."

After saying that, a bag was handed over, and Zhu Shangbing opened it without saying a word and took out the fifty taels of silver inside.

Old Deng Zhen, who didn't expect him to open it directly, blushed, and Zhu Ping next to him had a joking look in his eyes. The usually steady Duke Wei didn't expect to be so private...

But Zhu Shangbing saw the ulterior motive and said to him with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle."

Deng Zhen was really a good person. He gave gifts so perfunctorily, which made it clear that he felt that he could not be with the Zhang family daughter. No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang found a chance to get rid of him. If he had been in the army for a few more years, his prestige would easily surpass that of Deng Yu.

Like a time bomb.

Suddenly, a group of people came from a distance, led by Zhu Yunxi. Behind him stood a good-looking woman, and He Qinghou was also there.

The identity of this woman is self-evident.

People around him looked at Zhu Shangbing with teasing eyes and laughed secretly.

Zhu Yunwen came over with worry in his eyes. He wanted to step forward but was held back by Fang Xiaoru.

He couldn't let others ruin the current Holy Emperor's plan. He thought silently in his heart that it would be better for both sides to suffer losses.

"Oh it's you."

When the woman saw Zhu Shangbing, her face was cold and she didn't want to take another look.

She and Zhu Yunxi were childhood sweethearts, but their grandson was not decided yet. The latter was highly valued by the nobles of Huaixi, and his status as a legitimate son was unusual. The chance of getting a grandson was much higher than that of Zhu Yunwen, a guy who talked about benevolence, justice and morality.

And Zhu Yunxi was also interested in her. Originally, she would become the empress if everything fell into place.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway.

Zhang Wanzhi followed her father Zhang Yi to the table, without even opening her eyes to look at Zhu Shangbing.

There was a lot of discussion in the main hall, everyone was ready to watch the show of Prince Qin's family.

At this moment, Lan Yu arrived late. Hearing the gossip around him, he laughed loudly and walked up to Zhu Ping and patted his shoulder.

"Congratulations, King Qin, on this marriage..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a voice. He saw a cup at Zhu Shangbing's feet, looking at Lan Yu with a gloomy face, with warning in his eyes, and a vague sense of oppression.

Before Lan Yu could say anything, the cheap dad came up to him, picked up his collar and sat down without saying a word.

Their position was next to Zhu Yunwen. Seeing the concern in the latter's eyes, Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but sigh, why would such a person be so unscrupulous in reducing the vassal in the future.

Before the buttocks were warm from sitting, laughter came from not far away. The nobles of Huaixi, headed by Lan Yu, looked at Zhu Shangbing and King Qin.

His patience was reaching its limit.

At this moment, Du Andao's high-pitched voice came from the palace gate.

"Your Majesty is here!"

All the officials knelt down and worshiped, and the mountains shouted long live.

Zhu Shangbing watched the boots embroidered with dragon patterns walking past him. After waiting for the man above to speak, he stood up with the officials and listened to his polite words for a long time.

Not without benefits.

The rampant Huaixi nobleman became silent and stopped mentioning Zhang Wanzhi's incident.

But as the banquet was getting better, there was a man who was drunk and couldn't control his voice. Even though he was close to the people around him, his voice spread throughout the Jinshen Palace, and only what he said was heard.

"Is the Prince of Qin not attracted by Zhang Wanzhi?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. The man was so drunk that he had no idea what he had just done and was still talking out loud.

Zhu Shangbing was demoted to be useless, and the parties involved laughed angrily.

Engagement? Hongmen Banquet.

Is this to make him look foolish?

Thinking of this, he stood up, walked up to the drunkard, and punched him without saying a word, breaking the bridge of his nose and causing blood to flow downwards uncontrollably.

Everyone present was stunned, not expecting Zhu Shangbing to take action in front of so many people.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, showing anger.

Before the person above could deal with it, Zhu Shangbing spoke first.

"My grandson knows that he is guilty, and he still asks the emperor to send me to the fiefdom. This is a situation that cannot be tolerated by my grandson."

If he misbehaves in front of the palace, he will be punished to some extent.

In this case, why not take advantage of the situation and return to the fiefdom to live a happy life?

But how could Zhu Yuanzhang let him have his way? He called Zhu Shangbing over with a smile and slapped him on the back of the head to relieve his anger.

The other princes of the feudal lords had no chance to come, but this brat wanted to go back.

This matter is rather strange.

Zhu Yuanzhang almost concluded in his heart that Zhu Shangbing must have secretly hidden Jin Yiwei.

In this case...

"Today is your special day, so I don't blame you, but I won't do it next time."

After this statement, all the civil and military officials looked at each other, puzzled by Zhu Yuanzhang's actions but shocked.

Zhu Fang looked at Zhang Wanzhi below and frowned.

She is just the daughter of a noble family, and she only needs to be ranked higher than the eldest son of his family.

Now he actually doesn't know what's good and what's good, and shows his unwillingness.

If this marriage was not an imperial gift and could not be violated, it would not have been the turn of He Qinghou's daughter, whose heart is as high as the sky.

He could only suppress his emotions and tolerate Lan Yu's side, but they actually got worse.
