Chapter 76
76: Zhu Yuanzhang: Do you like the Western Regions so much? We will make you King Yong in advance!
Zhu Li led a group of generals to eat happily. Zhou Shuyi asked the two maids to continue helping with the barbecue and served on the side, while she went back to her room to rest early.
There was no way, it was already time to give birth, and it had already been more than nine months.
Looking back on everything that happened after she traveled to the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Shuyi still had an unreal feeling.
She traveled through time inexplicably, and then married the King of Han Zhu Yue and became the Princess of Han.
Moreover, this King of Han will become a rebellious vassal king in the future, and she will also become a rebel!
If it succeeds, the mother will be the best in the world. If it fails, no one knows what will happen.
Now, she actually wants to be a mother!
No one was married in modern society, but within a year of traveling to the Ming Dynasty, a child was about to be born!
"How is my concubine feeling?"
After having enough wine and food, Zhu Yue returned to the house after sending Qin Han and others back. Looking at Zhou Shuyi who was lying on the bed and looking at him with open eyes, he couldn't help asking with a smile.
"Isn’t that what it is? The person in my belly must be as restless as you, always having to step in for me from time to time!"
Zhou Shuyi pouted her little mouth and hummed dissatisfiedly.
"Is it? The king’s seed must follow my king!"
Zhu Li laughed loudly when he heard the words, and then he bowed his head and listened to Zhou Shuyi's big belly for a while. This feeling was actually the first time in Zhu Li's life... No, it should be the first time in two lifetimes!
He just Going to be a dad!
"Have you ever thought about what to name your child?"
Zhou Shuyi asked curiously at this time
"I’ve thought about it a long time ago! If it’s a girl, she’ll be called Zhu Hui! Zhu
Yue said casually. In fact, this is not what he thought. This is how history has arranged it. Just use it!
"What if it's a boy? Zhou
Shuyi asked curiously after hearing this.
"It is not the king's turn to name the one with the handle. According to royal rules, the first son of the vassal king must be named by the old man himself!"
"Moreover, the names of our descendants of the Zhu family are all very particular, and they are not chosen randomly!"
Zhu Yue explained with a smile.
But in fact, she had already asked Wu Chengfeng and others about the Han prince's heirs, and she had already been prepared in her heart.
Her daughter is fine. If she feels dissatisfied, she can choose another one that sounds better.
But To put it bluntly, it was not up to Zhu Yue to decide the name of the boy.
When the child was born, he had to report it to Zhu Yuanzhang for the grandfather to personally approve and give the name!
This was the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already arranged it for his sons. The names of future generations were also named after the interaction of the five elements. There were many rules!
As expected, her and Zhu Li’s first son was named Zhu Xiqiu.
Early the next morning, Zhu Li’s name was Just after having breakfast at 587 with Zhou Shuyi, I got the news that Yang Hui had returned.
"Let him go directly to the study!"
Zhu Li gave the order and went directly into his study.
Due to Yang Hui's inspections in recent months, most merchants did not dare to conduct silk transactions in private anymore, because this matter was really going to fall apart. Damn it! Of course, Yang Hui followed Zhu Li's orders to the letter. During the inspection of the northern border, anyone who found local businessmen colluding with foreign businessmen to sell silk would be punished with death!
When they entered the country, they could see heads hanging in the Gobi desert outside Tianshui Pass and many corpses that had been eaten up by crows!
Zhu Yue used this extreme method to tell them to bypass him and trade silk privately! How serious the consequences are!
Not to mention, the effect of this trick is immediate!
There is no way, Hanwang Querk really dares to kill people! No matter how much money he has, Yang Hui will have a few lives to spend! After clearing the customs
, the merchants and people of the Ming Dynasty must have a road guide from the government to explain where they are coming from and where they are going.
If there is no road guide, they will be treated as refugees. You can't even enter an ordinary city, let alone pass through it!
But the directions in Yang Hui's hands are a bit interesting.
Previously, Yang Hui personally led a team to find a group of 15 people. The caravan found that their silk could not produce proof of purchase at the Han Palace. According to Zhu Yue's order, they were all beheaded on the spot!
These road guides were found from these people!
"Did you kill everyone in Lan Yu?"
After Zhu Li saw the road guide handed over by Yang Hui, a strange look appeared on his face.
Good guy, even he didn't expect that the caravan arranged by Lan Yu would fall into Yang Hui's hands!
This Yang Hui He is really fierce. Knowing that it is Lan Yu, he still kills everyone first!
"Your Highness, anyone who smuggles silk will be beheaded on the spot without reporting it. This is your personal order! The last general is just executing military orders!"
Yang Hui replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Zhu Li immediately laughed when he heard this!
This is the attitude he wanted!
He is really more and more satisfied with this Yang Hui!
Isn't it because he chose him to patrol the border? This stubborn and loyal character?
In this Hanzhong Mansion, only Zhu Yue's words are the most effective. No matter who it is, even if you, General Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, come in person, it won't work! He Zhu Li!
This is the effect Zhu Li wants!
"The inspection matter (bgdb) is almost over. You don’t need to keep an eye on it in person anymore. Just arrange for reliable subordinates to carry out daily inspections. I will report to you if there is any situation."
"After being busy for so long, I give you two days off. Go home and spend time with your wife and children!"
Zhu Yue thought for a moment, then smiled at Yang Hui and ordered.
Yang Hui originally thought that Zhu Yue would scold him, but she didn't expect that Zhu Yue actually gave him two days off, which actually made Yang Hui a little bit I'm sorry
"Your Highness, if the general kills Lan Yu's caravan, will he be angry with you?
Yang Hui asked hesitantly.
"Haha...now you know what to worry about?"
"Don’t worry, I haven’t paid any attention to a blue jade king. Besides, you are right about this. If you let them go, I will be really angry!"
"Don't think too much, go back and rest quickly! After a while, there will be other tasks for you to take care of!"
Zhu Li rarely saw that Yang Hui was so shy, so he couldn't help but said with a smile.
Lan Yu knew that his caravan was killed by Zhu Li's people, so he was definitely angry, but Zhu Li was really Don't be afraid.
This guy often speaks ill of himself in the court. He is the one responsible for the affair. Zhu Yue has a clear conscience! So what if he, Lan Yu, dares to take this ? Is it possible for Zhu Yuanzhang to cut off his head first if he wants to publicize this matter ?
Zhu Yue is confident about this! He can only eat it if he doesn’t want to! Did Lan Yu have the guts to bring his army to Hanzhong to start a war? A few days later, Zhu Biao came to Zhu Yuanzhang at noon with the same transparent glass bottles, but the contents were different. The chili sauce was replaced with something called fermented bean curd!
"Is this from Lao Jiu again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the five bottles of fermented bean curd on the table and immediately understood.
"That's right, Lao Jiu specially sent someone to give you a try!"
"This thing is called fermented bean curd! Erchen just opened the lid and smelled the smell. It was really strange, but he didn't even have time to taste it, so he immediately sent it to his father!
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded.
"fermented bean curd? Made with tofu?"
"What could be so strange about that?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't take it seriously. He immediately picked up a bottle and opened the cap. Immediately, a strange smell entered Zhu Yuanzhang's nasal cavity.
With a hint of spiciness and a slight smell of alcohol, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that It's a smell I've never smelled before!
The smell alone is quite strange!
"The son specially asked the imperial dining room to send some meat buns over so that my father could have a taste first!"
At this moment, several young eunuchs had already brought the prepared lunch. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't waste any time. He picked up the chopsticks and ate the bean curd like The previous chili sauce was usually put in the meat buns, so he tried to take a bite.
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang thought the taste was a bit salty, but soon it turned into a salty and spicy feeling. It has a different feeling from the chili sauce he made late before!
Not to mention, the taste is really unique, and it has an indescribable novelty than the previous chili sauce!
"Don't be stunned, start eating together!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a few bites, and when he saw that Zhu Biao hadn't moved his chopsticks, he couldn't help but urge him. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang eating more and more enthusiastically, Zhu Biao immediately started eating.
Not to mention, the fermented bean curd felt like it just entered his mouth. It is indeed a bit salty, but as I eat it, I feel addicted. Compared with the previous chili sauce, this old man is really able to tinker with these novel things! The two of them each ate two meat buns and then stopped.
"By the way, did Lao Jiu say where this fermented bean curd came from? Zhu
Yuanzhang suddenly asked at this time
"It is said to be a formula recently developed by Hanzhong, fermented with tofu!"
"Lao Jiu also sent someone the formula!"
Zhu Biao said, and directly handed a piece of paper with the formula of fermented bean curd to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the formula and looked at it twice, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.
The ingredients and combination methods in this formula, Zhu Yuanzhang This is the first time I have seen it.
Especially there is something called chili pepper.
Is it the kind of chili pepper that is used to make chili sauce?
"Lao Jiu also asked people to spread the word, saying that he had introduced this kind of pepper from the Western Regions. It has been planted in Hanzhong Mansion, and he will send a batch of fresh pepper when it matures!"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face and added tentatively.
"Western Region!!!"
"It’s the Western Region again!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted angrily when he heard this!
This is the first time that Lao Jiu has used the Western Region as a shield!
"This bastard likes the Western Regions so much, doesn’t he?"
"Let’s simply make him King Yong in advance and let him go directly to the Western Regions!!!"
"Doesn't he like to use the Western Region as a shield? Let’s let him go to the Western Regions to expand our territory for us!"
"If we don’t have enough manpower, let’s give it to him!"
Just a few days ago, Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry because of things in the Western Regions. This time
, Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry! Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao was dumbfounded!
Several groups directly asked Lao Jiu to move to the same title as Lao Er. The title has been changed?
Isn’t this just a random act?
Besides, why should the son lead the troops to conquer it himself? After all, the second son’s Huai’an Mansion is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty. You want to seal the ninth son directly? Going outside the territory?
"Father, please calm down!"
"Actually, have you ever thought about it, if Lao Jiu didn't talk about the Western Regions, could he still tell you the truth about this matter?"
"Just think about it, when you tell your son that you have such a thing as a system, he won’t believe it at all!"
"If you didn't have a system in your body, would you believe that there is such a thing as a system?"
"And would you easily speak of this existence?"
Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry again and hurriedly spoke to persuade him.
Not to mention, Zhu Biao's words immediately stunned Zhu Yuanzhang! Yes
, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was most angry was not that Lao Jiu had a system, but that Lao Jiu lied to him!
But he never considered whether Lao Jiu could tell the truth before!
If he didn't have a system, even if Lao Jiu told the truth, he probably wouldn't believe it, and he might have to deal with his deception. What about Jun's crime?
In other words, from Lao Jiu's point of view, no matter how you explain this matter, it is a sin!
On the contrary, he is too embarrassed as a father!
"Father, even though Lao Jiu has something to hide, he still has to hide it. After all, if he is willing to say something like this, someone must be willing to believe it!"
"It’s not like you don’t know how much effort you have put into trying to convince your son!"
"What's more, Lao Jiu is still far away in Hanzhong, which makes it even more troublesome to explain!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression gradually calm down, Zhu Biao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that his father would get mad and send Lao Jiufa to the Western Regions!
In his opinion, as long as there is no The evidence proves that Lao Jiu has alien intentions, and his close relatives cannot be easily touched!
As the eldest brother, he can't just watch his father attack his brother directly because of some unfounded speculations!
Of course, Zhu Biao also did this during this time! He asked himself countless times, what would he do if Lao Jiu really wanted to rebel? Zhu Biao felt that even if Lao Jiu really wanted to rebel, he would be able to solve it!
King Lu, as long as he is the eldest brother, there are many brothers who can deal with Lao Jiu! No matter how powerful Lao Jiu is, can he still stop the alliance of all the vassal kings?
This is the confidence of Prince Zhu Biao!
He really has the intention to rebel, otherwise he, as the eldest brother, must protect his younger brother!
If Zhu Yuanzhang knows Zhu Biao's thoughts, he may be so angry that he vomits blood!
Zhu Biao does have confidence, but it depends on the situation! Ah!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, even Zhu Biao may not be able to suppress him with the system. This is why he is so worried!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Zhu Biao was thinking. After my persuasion, the anger in my heart has calmed down!
"Biao'er, don't you think you're not worried at all?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao with complicated eyes and asked.
"I will tell you something from the bottom of my heart today. It would be a lie to say you are not worried. But whether it’s you or Erchen, who is the eldest brother, you can’t just convict Lao Jiu just for the reasons you see in front of you, right? This is so unfair to him!"
"What's more, although Lao Jiu kept it secret from you, weren't the chili sauce, potatoes, and today's bean curd he sent to make you happy and to honor you?"
"This is also Lao Jiu’s filial piety!"
"If he really tried every means to hide it, there would be no need to send these things to you in Hanzhong, right?"
Zhu Biao explained with a serious face.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was speechless again!
Yes, it seems to be true!
He was also confused before, and he never thought about why he wanted to do this from Lao Jiu's point of view Do this!
His concealment seems to be explained by helplessness.
No one will believe it!
And he sent so many things out of filial piety. At least he didn't hide anything, and he knew that he had good things. Share it with him, the father and the prince!
Thinking this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's original depressed mood feels much better!
But this does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang still has to investigate!
In the past, if Zhu Yuanzhang did not have a system, , and didn’t know that Lao Jiu had a system. Every time Hanzhong Mansion offered something to the court, he would definitely think of Lao Jiu!
But now, he is more suspicious and suspicious of Lao Jiu who has a system! Don’t be afraid! Please vote!!
