It is a great honor for the country to receive envoys from the Goryeo vassal state.
Zhu Yunxi entered the Forbidden City and returned to Jingren Palace to bathe and change clothes. At the same time, he asked the palace officials to send the Korean envoy Pu Bancheng to see him.
Pu Bucheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch, waited for Zhu Yunxi to return to the palace and then went straight back to Fengtian Palace to resume his duties.
In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just received his ministers, was holding a cup of strong tea in his hand and drinking it slowly. It was getting cold, and the old emperor was a little depressed and always felt sleepy.
Your Majesty, the thousand-year-old King Wu has returned to the palace and is bathing and changing clothes! Pu Bucheng entered the palace and said softly.
Got it! Zhu Yuanzhang put down his tea cup, rubbed his shoulders and asked casually, what did a group of uncles and nephews say in the school grounds today?
The slave asked, it was just some martial arts on horseback and archery! As he said that, Pu Bucheng looked at the old emperor's face and said with a smile, but there is something interesting!
Zhu Yuanzhang turned over the memorial and said, "Let's talk and listen!"
His Highness Prince Ning was beaten by King Wu Qiansui!
Huh? Zhu Yuanzhang paused while holding the memorial and raised his head in confusion. What did you say?
Pu Bucheng smiled and said, His Highness Prince Ning was beaten by King Wu Qiansui!
At that moment, Pu Bucheng told the story of the imperial guards reporting on the campus.
When it was said that King Ning Zhu Quan was defeated in a competition with his men and was so angry that he whipped his soldiers, the old emperor's face was obviously unhappy.
And he snorted calmly and said two words, arrogant!
When it was said that King Wu and King Ning were going to compete in public, a smile appeared on the old emperor's face and he said, King Wu is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and there is no sand in his eyes!
When Pu Bucheng finished speaking, Zhu Yunxi threw Prince Ning upside down, grabbed his wrist and asked Uncle Seventeen if he would accept it, the old emperor's face was full of smiles.
At that time, the slaves didn’t dare to believe it. King Wu Qiansui had been weak since he was a child, but His Highness Prince Ning immediately became very good at martial arts. Who would have thought that Wu King Qiansui won in the end! Pu Bucheng said with a smile.
He also attacked the old seventeenth one by surprise! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, but our eldest grandson is a newbie. Since his father left, he has been polishing his body every day, no matter the wind or rain, he has a tough mind.
!
As he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed again. Lao Shiqi has always had a show-off temperament since he was a child. He has a bit of talent and wishes the whole world would know about it. As for our eldest grandson, he doesn't show off his abilities, or he doesn't take action.
It makes it impossible for people to run away. Haha, let’s follow this kid’s temperament!
Then, he asked again, he beat Lao Qiu and Lao Qiu was not angry?
So Pu Bucheng told how Zhu Yunxi showed his favor to Prince Ning and even coaxed and deceived him to turn his anger into joy.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then smiled and said, if in an ordinary family, his nephew beat his uncle, it would be okay! As he said that, he also laughed.
At this time, a palace man came in from outside, the Emperor and Concubine Hui asked to see him!
Legend! Zhu Yuanzhang drank all the water in the teacup, put the teacup aside, and added water for us! As he said that, he added, don’t throw away the tea leaves inside, they still have flavor!
Later, Concubine Guo Hui came in with a smile, and this concubine came to see Your Majesty!
What kind of happy event do you have? After the trial, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile, "I see you are carrying wind when you walk!"
Concubine Guo Hui stood up, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile, "Of course there is a happy event. Your Majesty, have you forgotten? In the past two months, you said that you would let your concubine find a beautiful girl for the King of Wu. Why don't you come to congratulate you!"
Someone has chosen? Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial with a smile, sat down on the soft couch next to Guo Huifei, and continued to ask with a smile, whose girl is it?
There are so many candidates, and it is ultimately up to His Majesty to decide! One is the daughter of the Ma family, the young minister of Dali Temple. The young minister of Dali Temple was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongwu. She comes from a scholarly family. The daughter of the family has a virtuous character and is a lady!
Second, I am the cousin of Prince Consort Mei Yin. I have seen that girl before, and she looks like a flower.
The other one is the daughter of military commander Zhao Sili. She was born in the same year as King Wu, but her birthday is three months older!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, just these three?
There are many people of marriageable age, but I inquired about many people privately, and found that these three are the ones with the best temperament. Concubine Guo Hui said with a smile, didn't you say you should marry a virtuous wife? These three girls are both virtuous and kind, and
Able to run a household and live a good life.
As she said this, Concubine Guo Hui laughed. The daughter of the Zhao Sili family, who commanded troops and horses, had become the head of the family when she was only ten years old. She was a good hand at everything. However, her family background was a bit low.
There is no word "marshal" after the "army and horse commander", which is very different. If it is the "army and horse commander", it is a fourth-grade military attache. The higher the rank, the higher the rank is the staff general, and the higher rank is the chief military officer.
Without the word "envoy", this official is only of the sixth rank. The military command belongs to Yingtian Mansion in the capital, and is responsible for arresting thieves and maintaining public order. If placed in later generations, he would be the police chief of the first district and the armed police captain.
What should you be afraid of if you have a low family background? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, marry a girl from a high family, and marry a woman from a low family! Saying that, think about it for a moment, just like this, in the next few days, you can find a reason to call these girls into the palace. When the time comes, I will take them with you.
Da Sun went to have a look.
Your Majesty, you are worried because you have not seen the real person! Guo Huifei said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also grinning widely. He was choosing a wife for his eldest grandson. How could he rest assured if he didn't see it with his own eyes?
Smiling, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, please take the trouble to find more girls of marriageable age! The family background should not be too low, it is best to be from a scholarly family!
Do you want to designate two concubines to King Wu at once? Concubine Guo Hui asked.
King Huai has also reached the age to get married. After all, he is older than King Wu, so it is difficult to leave him behind! Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
Concubine, I know! Concubine Guo Hui replied.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Guo Huifei resigned.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been sitting on the soft couch and watched her leave.
In fact, the old man has his own calculations in his heart.
When his birthday is over, Zhu Yunxi will be the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince, and in a few years he will be the future emperor. His wife's family background cannot be too high, she cannot be a minister in the court, and she cannot be from a family of distinguished military generals who founded the country, otherwise the relatives will do something wrong.
The blessing of the country.
But Zhu Yunwen was different. After getting married, he immediately went to the fiefdom to become a vassal. He had been studying since he was a child, so his wife should also find someone who came from a scholarly family, and whose status should not be too low. First, the young couple could talk to each other in the future.
Secondly, the Huai Wang Yue family has a higher family status and has a good reputation.
Even though the old emperor had the Lu family executed, he still felt a little jealous of the eldest grandson who had been under his nose since he was a child.
By settling you down well, you will be worthy of your father!
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and returned to the imperial desk again. But this time he did not take the memorial, but pulled out a scroll from the mezzanine of the desk.
The scroll is very large. When it is spread out on the ground, it is almost more than one foot long and half a foot wide. It has four large characters written on it, "Map of the Emperor Ming".
Zhu Yuanzhang took off his cloth shoes, stepped on the map of mountains and rivers with his feet in cotton socks, and squatted down to look at it carefully.
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's old finger fell on a city.
That's it! The land of the canal is enough to make his descendants rich and prosperous for a lifetime!
On the Huangming map, that city was marked with two big characters, Huai'an.
Zhu Yuanzhang had two wishes in his life. One was to stabilize the country and make the people peaceful and peaceful. The other was to inherit the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation, so that his descendants would enjoy wealth forever.
These two wishes are contradictory, but it is understandable to separate his identity and see that he is an old man with many children on one side and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty on the other.
But nothing in this world is static. He wants his descendants to enjoy wealth forever. But his chosen successor, Zhu Yunxi, has already made a vow in his heart.
Cut off the vassal!

There will be more later. I went back to work today and was a little busy.
