As a result, Liu Sanwu, Zhan Hui, Zhao Mian, and Ru Ru didn't have time to react.
However, what the emperor said is so reasonable.
The food that the emperor's grandson presented today is a sign of filial piety for the emperor.
But if it can be enjoyed by officials of the third rank and above in the court every day from now on, it will be the contribution of the emperor and grandson to the court.
Contribution is credit.
The court follows rules and is fair and strict.
Merits will be rewarded.
But could it be that the sun is rising in the west today, and His Majesty has to go through such a big detour in order to facilitate such a small thing as rewarding the emperor's grandson?
When did Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty lay down so many tricks in advance when talking and doing things?
The four of them pondered subconsciously, wondering what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to reward the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi.
Liu Sanwu frowned, and he even suspected that Zhu Yunxi had taken advantage of the opportunity of himself and others to be present today to bring the food for cooling off, and it was all arranged by the emperor from beginning to end.
He immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, is so filial and benevolent, and all the ministers are so grateful that I wish to congratulate Your Majesty. Your Majesty, your Majesty, is kind and benevolent to your courtiers. Your Majesty should encourage you with the treasures hidden in the palace."
As soon as Liu Sanwu opened his mouth, he blocked Zhu Yuanzhang's path.
If the emperor wanted to reward him, he would not object, but he could only encourage him with treasures from various places in the palace and tribute from foreign countries.
He was really worried. If Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Yunxi some kind of Zhuguo, general or the like, it would be a joke to the court.
The arrogant Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even move his eyelids as he listened to Liu Sanwu's words.
The emperor really wants to give his grandson a big reward!
The few people present who had not spoken a word couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat when they saw Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction.
The emperor has already given a hint.
The reward from the palace alone cannot satisfy him.
Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, jumped at the corner of his eyes and looked at the silent Zhu Yuanzhang. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi who also closed his mouthpiece.
A bold idea emerged in his mind, and it lingered in his mind for a long time and could not be dissipated.
Could it be...
Your Majesty wants to...
No way!
Zhan Hui quietly looked at Prince Zhu Biao, who had his head lowered and was already eating his second bowl of ice cream.
There were some doubts and hesitations in his mind. The Crown Prince is now in his prime, and he has the spirit of a dragon and a horse. Your Majesty can't go against the rules set by Gu Huangming's ancestors, right?
Shaking his head, Zhan Hui saw Zhao Mian, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, moving his legs and feet slightly. He hurriedly stepped out of the queue, clasped his fists and bowed: "Your Majesty, I believe that the emperor's grandson is now ten to four, and the emperor of the Tian family has just grown up.
, In addition, the emperor’s grandson has been out of the palace to study military affairs recently. If you are brave enough to give advice, you can select a team from all the guards in the capital and let the emperor’s grandson lead them for training, so as to show the great power of our Ming Dynasty!”
After Zhan Hui finished speaking, he glanced at the young Hanlin bachelor Xie Dashen in the corner.
Flattery?
Young people have to learn more from the old people in court like me!
At this time, Zhan Hui felt that he had figured out Zhu Yuanzhang's true thoughts.
He thought of a few days ago, when His Majesty suddenly allowed the emperor's grandson to leave the palace to study military affairs with Cao Guogong Li Jiujiang, and even rumors about the Tian Family Qilin spread from the palace.
Your Majesty is about to start cultivating the brave talents of the emperor’s grandson!
At this time, it is naturally His Majesty's final plan to let the emperor and grandson lead the troops in person.
It's just that Zhu Yunxi has not been crowned at this time, and has not left the palace to live elsewhere. According to etiquette, he cannot have any official errands in the court.
Then he can only take advantage of today's pre-arranged situation to force himself and others to take the initiative to tell the old man's true intention!
After finishing speaking, Zhan Hui breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Rujun, the Minister of War, who had retracted his legs and feet.
The way to be an official is to seize opportunities.
Opportunities may appear at any time, but whether you can seize them depends on your fate.
Just when Zhan Hui looked at Zhu Yuanzhang expectantly, waiting for the other party to say a word of great kindness.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang was stretching his body, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his face.
Isn't it?
Frustration flashed through Zhan Hui's heart.
Just when Zhan Hui was anxious, Zhu Yuanzhang was already groaning, and his palms seemed to draw a circle unintentionally, then rose up and shook.
Your Majesty actually thinks so!
Zhan Hui could see it clearly, and his brows couldn't stop beating.
Just when he was about to speak again, Chang Ru, the Minister of War, who was standing beside him, was already ready to go and went straight out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, I believe that although the emperor's grandson is now at the highest level, he is still learning civil and military matters, so he should not leave the palace to lead troops. Military and state affairs depend on stability."
"However, the emperor's grandson is a model of pure filial piety and benevolence. He respects His Majesty and treats his ministers leniently. He is a role model for the royal family. We should look for another county to use a favorable land to encourage the emperor's grandson!"
Draw a circle as the ground to reach a higher level.
The meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's previous actions is already clear.
In the end, Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Service, who was overtaken first, was almost itching with hatred because he was only half a step behind!
Previously, he had just speculated whether His Majesty wanted to make the king a grandson.
However, the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty have long stipulated that the princes of the Ming Emperor will be crowned kings when they reach adulthood, and the grandsons will be crowned county princes.
This is an iron rule. The prince cannot be crowned king before his death.
But he never thought that His Majesty wanted to change the title of county to Zhu Yunxi!
Just like the kings of the Ming Dynasty, the king of the country is the top, and now Qin is respected.
Of course, outside of Qin, there is another prince that no one dares to replace, but that feudal country involves too many areas.
And just like kings and nobles, counties also have three, six or nine levels.
The more prominent the title, the more it reflects the emperor's favor and attention to a person.
Such a change is far more important than granting an official position.
In Zhan Hui's disappointed mood, Zhu Yuanzhang finally did what he thought and said with a chuckle: "That's a good thing to say!"
Until this moment, Prince Zhu Biao, who had been eating ice cream with his head down, seemed to have finally tasted the delicious food. He put down the bowl and spoon in his hand, raised his head, and scanned the courtiers present.
Zhan Hui, who was lagging behind Ru Yu, stepped forward and said: "I think that if you want to find another kingdom for Prince Yunxi, Kuaiji should be the leader!"
Most of the time, the princes of the Central Plains were named after ancient counties.
Kuaiji, which is today's Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, was the most important taxation place in the Ming Dynasty.
And Zhan Hui’s advice has another plan.
In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the ancient name of the county was Kuaiji.
However, if you go further up, it will be another account ban.
King Wu!
You know, this king title has been vacant now.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, who was still clueless.
"How can a boy like him take charge of the prosperous land of Jiangnan!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly and bowed.
He still hasn't figured it out yet. What exactly does the old man want to do by going through so much trouble today?
Zhan Hui once again failed to flatter him and almost went crazy on the spot.
Liu Sanwu, who had never spoken, had slightly closed his eyes.
As long as the emperor doesn't randomly appoint officials and grandsons, it's just about clan titles, he doesn't care.
And under the attention of Zhan Hui and others.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and spoke slowly.
"Let's think about it, we stand here between heaven and earth, we can't forget our roots."
"So, after much thought, for the sake of the clan and the world, we have found a good place for this kid."
