"These grandsons know very well, so just go ahead and do it."

"Come here today and see how the review of the memorials on the work-for-relief program is going."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was smiling, his tone seemed a bit grim.

Of course Zhu Ying understood what the old man was thinking. He took out three memorials from the desk and handed them to the old man, and then said:

"It's not good to involve too many people. It's just these three that are the most outrageous. Let's see if we can make others restrain themselves after dealing with them."

Zhu Ying said helplessly. He knew that the list in the old man's hand probably did not cover most of the memorial, but judging from the content of the memorial, there was no need to rush to execute some of them.

"There are only three copies." Zhu Yuanzhang said, then took the memorial and looked through it...

After reading these three memorials to the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly became a little strange.

"Grandpa, why are you looking at me like this?"

When Zhu Ying caught the old man's gaze, she glanced at him subconsciously and then asked.

"Do you know these three people?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked playfully.

Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know him."

Zhu Yuanzhang grinned and said: "These three people are all the adopted sons of the uncle Liang Guo."

Zhu Ying suddenly understood why the old man's eyes were so strange just now. In a sense, these three people could be considered half of her mother's family.

However, Zhu Ying did not hesitate. He just pondered for a moment and said: "I'll say hello to Duke Liang tomorrow. I won't let him go. Let's see what his attitude is."

"Okay, we won't care about this matter. Anyway, it's you who came up with this idea. It's up to you to deal with it." Zhu Yuanzhang said directly.

Zhu Ying nodded seriously.

Lan Yu has too many adopted sons under his command, and he has already been vaccinated. I think Lan Yu himself should understand.

After dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, but Zhu Ying did not follow him.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to sleep in the palace for a night, Zhu Ying refused.

Today, he and the old man talked a lot about everything from people's livelihood to the military.

The reason why we talked so much is that Zhu Ying understood that her position was unbreakable since she met Lan Yu.

Now Zhu Ying can completely carry out drastic reforms on the overall level of the Ming Dynasty.

These reforms will involve the interests of many people and will also create a number of new interest groups. Under such circumstances, he must first convince the old man and support him unswervingly before the thorough reforms can be successful.

Especially on the economic front, it can be said to be completely contrary to the old man’s policies in the past.

Only by convincing the old man first will everything proceed smoothly.

"They say grandpa is very irritable, but I think he is also very talkative. The rumors are really not believable."

As the sun set, Zhu Ying stretched out in the yard and thought to herself.

I don’t know if those ministers who were executed by Zhu Yuanzhang would crawl out of the ground to confront Zhu Ying if they heard his thoughts.

"Auntie, if you want to see eldest brother, just go directly. It's not an unfamiliar place, so why bother dragging me with you."

In Prince Yan's palace, Zhu Gaochi looked at Xu Miaojin in front of him and said helplessly.

With Zhu Gaochi's stature, he could naturally go out with the army, so he had to stay in the capital first.

It's just that the current relationship between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Ying has become a little subtle.

Ever since he found out that Zhu Ying was his eldest brother, Zhu Gaochi didn't have many thoughts. It's just that his father, Zhu Gaochi, had a clear understanding of some things.

Until recently, when Zhu Gaochi found out about Yao Guangxiao, this concept was completely different.

As if there was a sudden barrier, Zhu Gaochi didn't look for Zhu Ying again during this period.

I just didn't expect that after dinner, my aunt Xu Miaojin would come by herself.

"Humph, if I can go by myself, why should I ask you to do it? Just tell me if you want to take me there tomorrow." Xu Miaojin said coldly.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi looked a little careless and added: "If you don't take me with you, I will write a letter to my eldest sister in your house tomorrow, saying that you bullied me and let her teach you a lesson."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi immediately knew that he could not escape. If this matter came to his mother and concubine, Zhu Gaochi would be really worried.

When he was living in Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking, his mother and concubine were always protecting him. If Xu Miaojin really started to cause trouble, he would only be the one to suffer.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Gaochi could only say helplessly: "Okay, I will take my aunt over to find my eldest brother tomorrow."

"Brother?"

Xu Miaojin was very happy when he heard this, but then he was a little confused about Zhu Gaochi's title of "big brother" just now.

No matter how unbearable Zhu Gaochi is in the circle of royal grandsons, he should be able to understand the concept of the word 'eldest brother', and it is not something that can be called casually.

When we went on a cruise on the Qinhuai River last time, we were also called ‘Brother Ying’, so why did he become the eldest brother?

"Yes, he is my eldest brother. His Majesty Prince Yu's aunt in Xiaoling must have heard of it. Grandpa Huang has confirmed his identity. I think it won't be long before he enters the palace."

Zhu Gaochi explained.

When Xu Miaojin heard this, her pink mouth grew bigger and her eyes were full of shock.

A businessman, a very handsome and talented businessman, suddenly transformed into the emperor's grandson?

Xu Miaojin was completely shocked.

This is the excuse my nephew made because he didn't want to take him there.

However, the clever Xu Miaojin quickly realized that this kind of joke was definitely not allowed.

She had heard about the rumors about Xiaoling before, even in her boudoir. It had been talked about for a long time, and everyone in the house was talking about it non-stop. It was difficult not to know.

At this moment, Xu Miaojin had no other thoughts in her heart, she was only happy for Zhu Ying.

"I'm just telling you, how can a person like that be just a businessman?"

Xu Miaojin recalled Zhu Ying's face and temperament and thought to herself.

But then, her little face became a little sad.

"The grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this is completely different."

Xu Miaojin, who had a bitter face, suddenly sat down quietly and stopped talking, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Xu Miaojin strangely and asked, "Auntie, don't you fall in love with your elder brother?"

"What are you talking about? I've only met him once and we like him, so don't talk nonsense."

After hearing this, Xu Miaojin immediately stood up like a cat with fried fur and yelled at Zhu Gaochi.

Seeing his aunt reacting so fiercely, Zhu Gaochi looked strangely in his eyes and said tentatively: "Then should we go to see big brother tomorrow?"

"Of course I want to go. Why not? We have agreed."

Xu Miaojin hesitated for a moment, then said it directly.

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi had no other thoughts. Although he had never been in contact with girls, he could still see some simple human sophistication.

"A few days ago, my eldest brother came over and said that there was a new development in firearms, but that day happened to be when my father was going on an expedition, so he didn't have time to go there."

"Brother is a little busy later, so I won't make any trouble. We just happen to go there together tomorrow."

Zhu Gaochi said frankly that when he saw his aunt like this, his curiosity obviously outweighed his subtle embarrassment.

"Okay, it's settled."

Xu Miaojin said seriously

Nanjing Outer Station.

"We will arrive in the capital tomorrow. Hurry and hurry and we will catch up. If we miss the Chinese Valentine's Day, it will be a big sin for me to wait."

Zhao Fei, the commander Zhu Ying sent to Annan, just arrived at the inn, looked at the sky and said.

After more than half a month, they finally arrived.

Hearing this, a cavalryman next to him got off his horse and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhao, we have never met Dongjia. I heard that Brother Shen Kuo and Zhao have been with Dongjia for a long time, but it's true."

Upon hearing this, all the surrounding cavalrymen immediately turned their attention. Even Chen Muyue and the maid Xiaoqing slowed down their movements.

Chen Muyue wanted to know more about who the boss who tied her up as Mrs. Yazhai was and what she looked like.

Along the way, she used her identity as Xiaoqing's maidservant and wanted to inquire about it for future planning.

After all, he is from the Annan royal family, so he can guess that this family is probably very powerful. From the casual conversation of the cavalry, it seems that his powerful subordinates are just the tip of the iceberg.

"Of course, I think that when my boss went to the desert to open a trade route, I was one of the people who accompanied him. Not only did he have dinner with his boss, but he also drank wine with him."

Zhao Fei said proudly after hearing this.

These words made everyone even more curious about the owner whom they had never seen before but admired very much.

Li Laosi walked over in a few steps and said quickly: "Brother Zhao is great, let's talk about the boss. We have never seen the boss before. This is the first time we meet, and we don't know what the boss looks like."

.”

"Well, Li Laosi, you have a lot of things to do. Ask me what these are for. When you enter the capital tomorrow, you will naturally have a chance to meet your boss. There is no need for me to tell you." Zhao Fei scolded with a smile.

"Brother Zhao, just talk to the brothers. The food at this inn will not come for a while. Brother Zhao is so hungry that the food will not taste good later."
