Classmate Xiao Zhu didn't care what they were thinking. How could they hide their ideas from Lao Zhu? Historically, it was rare for Zhu Yuanzhang's more than 20 adopted sons to live to the first year of Hongwu.
Even if they want to harm Xiao Zhu, they only dare to curse a few words in their hearts. Their power comes from Zhu Yuanzhang, and they dare not attack the people under them!
When classmate Xiao Zhu took turns greeting the foster brothers in baby talk, he also waved his fist to the little brother Mu Ying at the back. Mu Ying did not step forward, but looked at the one with the brightest smile with cold eyes.
How many.
There were two teenagers beside him, one was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other was already an adult. Instead of stepping forward, these two people walked to Ma's side and bowed and asked, "Mom, are you feeling well?"
Ma replied softly: "I'm fine. You two have been working hard these days following your father's expedition. It was your birthday Wen Zhong a few days ago. Have you received the clothes he sent?
The younger one quickly lowered his head and replied, "I got it, it's just the time when the weather feels cold."
Classmate Xiao Zhu only saw these two teenagers when he was carried back to his mother. He thought, who are these two fools? Why didn't they show their love for their adoptive father and son? Was it because they didn't want to die quickly enough?
Ma waved the other boys to go to the banquet, took Xiao Zhu and said: "Look, this is your cousin Wenzhong, this is your cousin Wenzheng, remember it.
Only then did Xiao Zhu remember who these two great figures were. The younger one was Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, one of the six founding dukes of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, he should have taken the surname of Lao Zhu and was the nephew of Comrade Lao Zhu.
Historical records record that he was a man of profound intelligence and unpredictable changes. He was high-spirited when facing battles and became more courageous when encountering powerful enemies. He was a loyal and upright person, and he was ordered to adopt abandoned children in the army, but his life was in vain.
He also advised Zhu Yuanzhang to kill less people because he had many guests at home. He tried to use guest words to persuade the emperor to kill less. He also admonished the emperor to conquer Japan, and said that officials who are too powerful are not the emperor and do not approach the punishment of people. Therefore, it is inevitable to disobey the decree.
condemn.
In the 16th year of Hongwu's reign, he fell ill in the winter. The emperor came to see him in person and asked the Marquis of Huai'an Huazhong to protect medicine. After his death in the 17th year of Hongwu's reign, he was posthumously named King of Qiyang and given the posthumous title of "Wu Jing".
Give burial to the shadow of Zhongshan.
As for this cousin Zhu Wen, he is the son of Zhu Xinglong, Comrade Lao Zhu's eldest brother. However, Zhu Xinglong died young and he grew up with Zhu Yuanzhang.
This cousin's merits are not as good as Li Wenzhong's, but he has also made extraordinary achievements for Zhu Yuanzhang! Zhu Wenzheng sat in an isolated city during the defense of Hongdu and resisted the attack of Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops. It can be called a miracle in military history and his military exploits are outstanding.
Historically, it is rumored that he was dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's reward after the war, so he sought refuge with Zhang Shicheng. Zhu Yuanzhang learned that he wanted to kill him directly. In the end, it was Empress Ma's persuasion that saved him from the death penalty. He was placed under house arrest in Tongcheng, and finally died in depression.
Objectively speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was quite good to Zhu Wenzheng. In the third year of Hongwu (1370), he made Zhu Wenzheng's eight-year-old son king, and established Guilin as a vassal, inheriting the title of king from generation to generation.
This is recorded in history, but no one with a brain can believe it. Zhu Wenzheng had a stupid brain to seek refuge with Zhang Shicheng.
It was just that Zhu Wenzheng, who had made extraordinary achievements, was so proud of himself that he was praised by others and peeked at Zhu Biao's status, thinking about the dream of his uncle's death and his nephew's successor. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang directly took action to avoid future troubles.
But these are all things that Lao Zhu should worry about. Xiao Zhu can just win. The two of them also praised Xiao Zhu a few times.
The group of people reached a corner and split into two teams. The men all went to the banquet area in the front hall, while Xiao Zhu followed his mother to the banquet area in the back courtyard.
After passing a few gates, we arrived at a wide hall, filled with the sounds of warblers and swallows. The future Queen Ma walked in slowly with a dignified smile on her face.
"The handsome lady and the young master have arrived."
"Hurry and hold the child, don't hit the madam."
"Sister is here!"
When Mr. Ma made his official appearance, he saw a group of women dressed in colorful clothes and neatly said: "I have met my wife! I have met the young master. I wish the young master good health and happiness."
Seeing the women in front of him who kept coming to say hello, Xiao Zhu felt extremely uncomfortable. His ears were full of all kinds of flattery, which made him upset. If only his two short legs could be used, he would have run away. If he had the time to fight with these women
Rather than wrangling, it is better to go to the vestibule to meet the big guys and get a good impression of them.
Now I can only hope that Comrade Lao Zhu can come over quickly to pick him up and take him to the vestibule, just waiting with his little face wrinkled.
About an hour later, Xiao Zhu had peed again and was about to fall asleep when he finally heard a middle-aged servant coming to take the young master to the vestibule.
Madam Ma did not give Xiao Zhu to him but to Ruyi, and told her to hand over the young master to the master with her own hands and ask the wet nurse to go with her.

There are excessive chapters at the end, because some historical summaries still need to be written (^_^*) Some students may not know the early Ming Dynasty, after all, he does not have wonderful folk romance novels like the Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties.
