Chapter Thirty-ninth Heart Insufficiency

Zhu Biao led Zhu Di to sit on the carriage. Zhu Di opened the curtain and took a look at the Li Mansion behind him, which was hidden in the darkness.

Zhu Biao glanced at him: "What did you understand?"

Zhu Di shook his head blankly: "I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand!"

Zhu Biao smiled and touched Zhu Di's head, then leaned on the soft cushion and began to think quietly.

"Li Shanchang is now in a dilemma. I don't know what choice he will make!"

After a while, they arrived at Prince Wu's Mansion. Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to send Zhu Di back to rest, while he walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's study.

Along the way, Zhu Biao carefully compared Li's Mansion with his own Wang's Mansion, and found that it was indeed better than the Wang's Mansion.

No one was asked to go in to report. Since Zhu Yuanzhang had not returned to his room to rest, he was waiting for him.

Zhu Biao knocked on the door three times and then walked in calmly. Then he saw Lao Zhu with his legs on the desk and gnawing some fruit...

Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh: "Father, you are so laid-back and tight!"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly threw a fruit over. Zhu Biao took the fruit, found a stool and moved it to where Zhu Yuanzhang sat down.

After taking a light bite, I felt extremely sour, but Zhu Yuanzhang still looked satisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a curious tone: "I heard that Li Shanchang's mansion is very good?"

Zhu Biao couldn't bite anymore, and smelled the unique taste of the fruit and said: "It's very good. Although it's not as good as the New Palace, it's better than the Royal Palace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Li Shanchang, he is kind and gentle on the outside, but on the inside...it's just that! A mansion is nothing, he is not satisfied when you come to visit!"

Zhu Biao also smiled and said: "There is no dissatisfaction. He entertained me and the fourth child properly, and the situation forced him to have any dissatisfaction!

Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said: "In the next few days, we will be able to see the attitude of the ministers. My son cannot spy on the affairs of the court, so I will trouble my father to send someone to take a look!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up: "These are not big things! Li Shanchang is just a civil servant after all!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yushu Linfeng's son: "You are not young anymore, it's time to get a wife!"

Zhu Biao nodded as soon as he heard this: "When it comes to marriage, of course you have to obey your parents' orders!"

Zhu Biao doesn’t care who he marries, nor does he care about beauty, ugliness, or character!

He has a valuable status, and everyone who comes in must serve him!

What's more, if you like the person you marry, just like it. If you don't like it, just leave it as a decoration. If you really hate it, just let her die of illness.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Do you want to marry Xu Da's daughter or Chang Yuchun's daughter?"

Historically, Zhu Biao married Chang Yuchun's daughter, but this woman died early, and so did the eldest son he gave birth to!

Zhu Biao was not very satisfied, but when he thought about why Zhu Yuanzhang did not choose Xu Da's daughter in history...

Zhu Biao cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Xu's daughter is still young, even younger than his son. If the father wants his son to choose, it should be Uncle Chang's daughter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Okay, since it was your choice, let's make it this way. We will tell Chang Yuchun when he comes back!"

When Zhu Biao saw that he had finished talking, he left.

On the way back, Zhu Biao felt a little empty in his heart: "By not letting him marry Xu Da's daughter, we are also guarding against him, and especially Xu Da, the prince and the general who holds military power..."

Zhu Biao stopped and looked at the bright night sky, relaxing his mood.

"In fact, it is understandable that Zhu Yuanzhang will only be forty years old when he founded the country next year. This is when a man is in the prime of life and when his desire for power is greatest!"

And his father is already interesting enough! As the second person in the military, Chang Yuchun represents a terrifying force.

Zhu Biao thought silently: "That's fine, but we need to pay attention to Chang Yuchun's health in a few years."

Zhu Biao returned to his room, and Xiao Shuang'er gently helped him take off his somewhat complicated clothes. Then he looked at his young master with longing eyes, and Yun Jin brought a basin of hot water to wash his feet.

Zhu Biao touched the hair exposed from the quilt. Nuan Yu had already fallen asleep waiting for it. At this moment, Zhu Biao suddenly thought: "The human heart is really dissatisfied! I was born to be a noble nobleman in this life, and I have already been everything."

People are so envious of me, and now I’m still thinking about useless things!”

Zhu Biao calmed down his somewhat swollen heart and said, "I'm only in my early tenth year, what on earth am I so anxious about!"

Zhu Biao asked Yun Jin and the others to go down to rest. He lay down on the warm bed, turned over and hugged Nuan Yu, who was sleeping. He couldn't be anxious about anything. Just like Nuanyu and the others, since they were his own, why bother?

After a warm night's sleep, Zhu Biao woke up the next morning, had a meal, and took his brothers to study. In the afternoon, he took them to play and did not worry about other matters.

The outside world was turbulent, and Li Shanchang's momentum seemed to have reached a peak. Even the generals on the Northern Expedition sent letters of support.

But at this time, Li Shanchang actually took four concubines in one go and made a lot of money! Officials below reported to Zhu Yuanzhang that Li Shanchang had embezzled 10,000 taels of public funds without authorization!

Li Shanchang was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his limelight suddenly disappeared. Even though everyone knew that Li Shanchang was self-defeating, a stain is a stain!

Political things don’t need causes, only results!

Li Shanchang went into the mansion late at night and talked secretly with Zhu Yuanzhang all night long. No one knew what he said, but the entire Yingtian Mansion changed its impetuous attitude, and everyone calmed down and prepared for the founding ceremony of the country!

Xu Da Chang Yuchun's Northern Expedition army was overwhelming. As good news came frequently, the entire city was celebrating!

At the Spring Festival, Zhu Yuanzhang led his sons to pay homage to their ancestors' tablets. Ma led others to prepare the dinner. Tonight was not only a family banquet, but also all the ministers and servants were already waiting outside the palace.

In a solemn room, there were only a few tablets enshrined on it. Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the front and next to him was Zhu Biao a little behind. Everyone else was kneeling behind them!

Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his back and said slowly in a deep voice: "My ancestors are above me! My descendant Zhu Yuanzhang was fortunate enough to rise up in the troubled times, sweep across the Central Plains and drive the Tatars to the north to unify the world! Now we are about to establish the Yuan Dynasty and establish the Ming Dynasty! The family name is passed down to the country. I hereby express my gratitude.

Ming, I hope my ancestors have knowledge in the world and can protect me tomorrow!"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked at the memorial tablets of his parents, elder brother, and others. He didn't know what he was thinking. Naturally, Zhu Biao and others did not dare to get up. They knelt on the ground and looked at their own knees!

I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and said: "Get out!"

Zhu Biao's legs felt weak when he stood up, and he almost knelt down again. The legs and feet of the others behind him also felt weak!

Zhu Biao reluctantly stood up and did not dare to stamp his feet in front of the ancestral tablets. He said to his brothers: "Get up slowly, don't be anxious!"

Then he slowly walked out of the door and followed Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him. The two of them walked in silence without speaking.

After a while, the younger ones also followed. Seeing the atmosphere, they did not dare to speak and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the hall obediently.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat, and then a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face. After a while, the door of the palace opened, and the jubilant civil and military officials rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang impatiently and said auspicious words!

After they finished talking to Zhu Yuanzhang, they all gathered in front of Zhu Biao and praised him constantly. A warm smile appeared on Zhu Biao's face, and he also responded one by one.
