Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 80 These children have attracted the attention of the emperor! (First order required)

"Just make a scene and you'll be fine. |!¤*'~``~'*¤!||!¤*'~``~'*¤!|"

In the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the angry Ma Xiuying from the corner of his eye.

Hearing the sound, Ma Xiuying ignored it, turned her head to one side, lifted the curtain, and looked at the Zhuzi Gaomen outside.

It's not completely dark yet.

Every house has its lanterns lit.

Two lanterns are not enough.

Some houses have four hanging on their doors.

Some mansion doors are wider, with six or eight hanging on them, which not only shows the layout, but also has good meaning.

At this time, it is strictly forbidden to light lanterns outside the palace, except in the rooms.

Nine years after the founding of the country, although Chongba repeatedly warned the courtiers not to engage in extravagant comparisons.

But obviously, the effect is minimal.

The wealth of a dynasty is limited.

The main source is the output of farmers who work hard to cultivate the land.

It is inevitable that wealth will flow to these people.

This is true for any dynasty.

No dynasty can stop them. These people will always occupy the most wealth.

But there should be no extravagance.

The trend of extravagance corrodes people's will and the foundation of society. Comparative extravagance will waste a lot of wealth on meaningless enjoyment.

The imperial court never thought of asking them to use their wealth to serve the country.

This obviously goes against human nature.

Opposing the trend of extravagance, I just hope that they will use their wealth and resources in more meaningful ways.

For example, the training of future generations.

They have power and title. The title will be passed down, and the power will actually be passed down through blood.

Therefore, their descendants will inevitably fill all aspects of the huge power system of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

How could the Ming Dynasty be better off if it was filled with a group of people who only wanted to enjoy themselves?

If all resources are spent on training, great talents such as Xin Qiji, Wen Tianxiang, and Lu Xiufu will emerge.

One person can stabilize the country for decades!

Unfortunately, no one is willing to do this.

Maybe they don't have a long-term view.

Maybe there is something wrong with the court's system?

Ma Xiuying's mind wandered and she was thinking about other things.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was still angry.

The dark face softened, full of helplessness. ░▒▓██▓▒░

I know very well in my heart that at this moment, what can I say to ease the atmosphere, "Okay, I promise you, I will never torment the fourth child for no reason just because he is doing well!"

"In the children's examination, we will also strictly abide by the three chapters of the previous agreement, not to block, not to interfere, and not to set up obstacles!"

Her thoughts were interrupted, Ma Xiuying listened with a smile on her lips.

A couple for half their lives.

She knew Zhu Chongba's character very well.

Bad tempered, stubborn, and strongly patriarchal.

His original intention was to make the fourth child a negative example and a target. Now, the life of the fourth child is about to get better and better.

He must be feeling itchy!

Treating this kind of man is like flying a kite, tugging at the string from time to time.

He suppressed his smile, turned his head, and said coldly: "Remember what you said."

"Remember!" Zhu Yuanzhang replied angrily, and added a reminder: "We promise not to torment the fourth child, and when we get to the Xu Mansion, you must give us enough face!"

Ma Xiuying's lips twitched and she turned her head to look aside.

call!

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the matter was done.

I won’t lose face because of a meal.

"Dad, this wreath of mine looks good, isn't it? These are the children..."

"Master...Master, Your Majesty and the Queen have arrived outside the mansion!"

In the living room, when Xu Miaoyin was talking happily, officials from the Xu family came running in panic.

Everyone stood up in surprise.

Xu Miaoyin smiled and said: "Dad, Your Majesty definitely wants to try my brother-in-law's grilled fish..."

Xu Da glared at Xu Miaoyin angrily, "I shouldn't have let you go to Tuqiao Village. You are becoming less and less like a lady. Come with me to greet His Majesty and the Empress."

After saying that, he walked out quickly, but he couldn't help but laugh.

That's what he guessed too.

After a while.

Xu Da accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying in.

After sitting down, Xu Da suppressed a smile and was very considerate of the holy intention, and asked: "Your Majesty, at this time, you haven't eaten yet, right?"

"Not hungry, not hungry..." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands repeatedly and pretended to say: "Your sister-in-law said that it has been a long time since I came to sit with you."

"If you insist on dragging us here, actually, we still have a lot of things that we haven't given you yet. I'll just sit down for a while and then leave."

Ahem...

Ma Xiuying's face felt hot and she couldn't help coughing to remind Zhu Yuanzhang that he was too high-minded.

Xu Miaoyin and other juniors stood aside, looking at this scene, they all lowered their heads and tried their best to hold back laughter.

"The garland in Miaoyin's hand is so beautiful." Ma Xiuying looked at Xu Miaoyin and praised Xu Miaoyin's garland with a smile, "Did you make it up yourself?"

"Can I show it to my aunt?"

Xu Miaoyin's pretty face turned slightly red and she raised her head. She took the opportunity to come over with a smile, "Auntie, the children in the village made this up for me."

Mentioning Tuqiao Village, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked...

Ma Xiuying took the garland and looked at it carefully, "It's very beautiful. You can see that they have put so much care into picking so many different flowers and weaving them."

He raised his head, took Xu Miaoyin's hand, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, tell me, what did you do in the village to make the children weave this wreath with such care?"

"Although the gift is light, the thought is not light!"

"Actually, I didn't do anything. I just taught the children with my sister, supervising and tutoring the children to complete their homework..."

Xu Miaoyin narrated her experience in Tuqiao Village.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully.

"Auntie, you don't know how simple the people and children in the village are."

"When I left, the aunts brought a bunch of things and asked me to bring them back. I have never seen such a scene in my life..."

"When we leave the village, the children are waiting by the roadside at the entrance of the village."

"When he saw me, he neatly held the apprentice ceremony and gave me and my sister this carefully woven garland."

"These kids are very grateful."

‘These children, if they are so devoted to Miaoyin, they are probably even more devoted to the fourth child! ’

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered secretly.

After Xu Miaoyin finished speaking, she immediately asked: "Girl, how are the studies of these children? Do they have any outstanding talents?"

"Your Majesty, the children are very serious and hard-working. According to the progress of only half a year of study, I think they are all excellent." Xu Miaoyin was still immersed in the same emotion as when she left. Without thinking much, she blurted out: "They have finished studying. The Analects of Confucius.”

"Sister A has already started preparing to teach "University"!"

‘If what girl Miaoyin said is true, aren’t these children all plastic talents? ! ’ Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly subconsciously.

Before that.

He paid attention to the matter, but didn't take it too seriously.

It’s not easy to study, but it’s even harder to take the exam for fame!

Only a few children from official and scholarly families can step up one step at a time and finally get involved in officialdom.

A group of farm kids, resources and environment are so poor!

The main force in the imperial examination was from a family of officials and scholars, and from a poor family with a family of farmers and scholars.

Since the beginning of the imperial examination, the probability of being a real peasant boy has actually been very low, pitifully low.

Someone with a mud-legged background like him.

It is easier to rebel and become emperor than to take the imperial examination.

Xu Da realized that Xu Miaoyin had talked too much and stood up quickly, "Huizu, your uncle and aunt haven't eaten yet, go give instructions to the kitchen."

"Preparing chicken, duck and fish, all the original preparations have been withdrawn!"

"Those are not suitable for entertaining your uncle and aunt."

They are all old brothers, and he also has a temper.

When Shiro was demoted to a commoner, he was against the eldest girl getting married.

But now it seems that the eldest girl is living a very happy life.

He also likes this son-in-law who can shoulder his responsibilities.

Emperor Zhu is the emperor and a minister, so he can't say anything.

But he could make Emperor Zhu unable to eat the food sent by his son!

His thoughts were interrupted, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily and looked at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying didn't want to save face for Zhu Yuanzhang this time. She had warned him not to hold it back or to make trouble!

A father doesn't care for his son, Xu Da loves his daughter, loves his house, and loves his son-in-law!

He glared, then smiled and said to Xu Da: "Xu Da, please ignore him. My sister-in-law left the palace just to taste Shiro's grilled fish."

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly, and then winked at Xu Huizu.

Soon, the meal was served.

A group of people gathered around the table.

Xu Da first gave Zhu Yuanzhang a piece of fish belly meat and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, have a taste."

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and snorted, "You Xu Manzi, don't think that this is the end of it. I'll keep this account in mind for you!"

As he said that, he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put the fish belly in the bowl into his mouth.

Chewing it carefully, he thought to himself: It tastes really good. I didn’t expect that this bastard, the Fourth, has such skills. If I want to eat some of the food he sent back in the future, will I have to come to Xu Mansion?

The group of people all stopped moving their chopsticks and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ma Xiuying was not angry and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

"It's okay." Zhu Yuanzhang said casually, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up another piece of fish belly, and then realized that the others hadn't moved their chopsticks yet, and then urged: "My family is having a meal together, don't be restrained, move." Chopsticks, move chopsticks.”

Only then did everyone move their chopsticks.

Eating cold dishes made from wild vegetables and grilled fish.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Girl Miaoyin, tell us more about the new things you saw and heard in Tuqiao Village."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying came to Xu Mansion.

Although he was low-key, he was still noticed.

It was time to eat at Xu Mansion.

Throughout the streets and all the gates of the houses, people were coming in and out.

Three, three, five, five, they gathered in the house of their close colleagues.

"Your Majesty and the Queen went to Xu Mansion!"

"Are wild vegetables so delicious?"

"No one from the Xu family went to give gifts this time, but His Majesty and the Queen came to the Xu family in person to eat wild vegetables!"

"Don't forget the origin of our Majesty!"

"Be careful with your words. Your Majesty may like to eat wild vegetables, but the purpose of this trip is not just to eat wild vegetables. He probably wants to know more about Zhu Silang."

The meal is over.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace.

He immediately summoned Mao Xiang into the palace in the middle of the night.

Royal study room.

Mao Xiang knelt down and worshiped.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang and said, "A magical plant grows in the wheat fields of Tuqiao Village. How come we don't know about this?"

ah?

Mao Xiang looked up in confusion.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not let go of any subtle expression on Mao Xiang's face... Gradually his complexion improved.

Through observation, it can be judged that Mao Xiang does not know.

It's not that I sided with the fourth child and deliberately concealed it.

"This is what Miaoyin said, a plant that is taller than her..."

"From now on, the Jinyi Guards of Tuqiao Village will record every move related to Zhu Silang!"

"In addition, more attention should be paid to that group of children."

"We need to know each child's age, personality, learning progress, and their feelings for Zhu Silang and his wife."

These children finally attracted the attention of the emperor!

It’s time to pay close attention to the development of these children!

Mao Xiang immediately understood the point of being called into the palace late at night. He felt aggrieved for Zhu Di and hurriedly replied: "I will immediately tell someone to investigate these children."

I saw everyone asking about the number of updates and update time. Let me tell you here that the most punctual time every day is at night, because there is no work and no interference. There will definitely be one chapter at ten o'clock in the evening. I will publish the other two chapters on time as much as possible. Starting tomorrow Start with Chapter 1 at 12:00pm and Chapter 1 at 6:00pm. I will also report the results to everyone. I think the current results are already very good. I will also try my best to write as much as possible. On the basis of the guaranteed 10,000 words per day, I will try to write another 3,000 words, but the first thing is to ensure the quality.

I will work hard and write this book with the utmost seriousness.
