Chapter 164 The Cow Walking in Front of the Emperor
"I think so." Zhu Zhen nodded without thinking.
"Then you promise dad that you won't be angry with us." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "And you have to help persuade your brothers to stop being angry, okay?"
"Let's see." Zhu Zhen curled his lips, his father was really shameless. He took out a coin and wanted to sleep with the oiran...
Hey, what kind of metaphor is this? I am still a fledgling! Alas, this is all to make my father angry...
In fact, he didn't let go because his eldest brother wouldn't let him. He said that his father must be cured this time, so he didn't dare to think about it again.
The younger brothers naturally listen to their elder brother. Besides, they are also frightened by this experience and really don't want to do it again. Without the protagonist's life, it will be easy to die.
"What are you looking at? Otherwise, we are not allowed to raise these cows. How can we raise cows in the palace? How decent is it?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately made a donkey face.
"Elephants can be raised in the palace, but why can't cows be raised?" Lao Liu refused.
"That's a guard of honor." Zhu Yuanzhang glared.
"I beg my mother to come back." We, the sixth child, are not easy to control, and we can even do the opposite.
"Look, you are still angry." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned into a round face again, and said with a smile: "Lao Liu, how about the cow your father gives you is given a royal title and walks in front of the emperor?"
"Dad is here to coax the child." Zhu Zhen hit the nail on the head. "You want to masturbate, right?"
"Okay, let me give you something practical. How about we set up three guards for you? Then every time you go out, you will have more than 10,000 people cheering and supporting you. Who would dare to bully you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said generously:
"We can also ask your uncle to be your commander, and you will no longer be afraid of living on the streets begging for food."
"Father is playing the trick of wandering around again." Zhu Zhen explained the mystery again. "The vassal king has to have three guards, so you can't let me go to the vassal just to beg for food."
"How can we not mention our old skills? How come you, the sixth child, understand everything?" Zhu Yuanzhang completely lost his temper and said helplessly: "Then you can make your own conditions and see if we can agree?"
"I only have one condition." Zhu Zhen leaned on the back of the cow, his eyes as pure as the Great Sage Pingtian and said: "Father, let those poor people go home."
"Tsk..." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly softened. Unexpectedly, this stubborn evildoer also had a benevolent heart. "My father has his own arrangements. You can make another request."
"Then let's give those immigrants personal freedom and let them go back to their hometowns." Zhu Zhen then carefully analyzed: "In fact, when they go back, they just visit their graves and visit relatives. They have sold their houses and properties, and it is not that easy to buy them again.
It’s easy, so you have to come back when you’re done.”
"Did you think of this yourself?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him noncommittally.
"Listen to what brothers Lagua said." Lao Liu once again hid his clumsiness out of habit.
"It seems that this experience is still useful." Zhu Yuanzhang touched Zhu Zhen's head and exhaled a long breath: "It's not only useful, it's simply too useful."
"Then Father agreed..." Zhu Zhen raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's chin.
"Of course." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "How can my father be worse than a child?"
"Great, then I and the 'Walking Ox in front of the Imperial Palace' will kowtow to the father." Zhu Zhen then pressed the cow's head and knelt down to kowtow to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Let's make it clear, brat. We are your father, not his father!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and kicked him in the butt.
"My dear, please retire." Zhu Zhen quickly dodged, mounted the bull and ran away.
"Wait a minute, why do we think we have lost money?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded the street from behind: "You brat is playing tricks on me, don't you care about raising cattle in the palace and walking in front of the emperor?"
One person and one cow have already disappeared.
~~
Zhu Yuanzhang settled down with Lao Taishan and rode a cow. Although he was teased by his son, he was in a good mood overall.
Returning to the palace, Eunuch Wu reported that both the Duke of Korea and the Marquis of Jiangyin came to ask for a visit, but they were all rejected by him according to the emperor's orders.
"What have they been doing so long ago?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked down again. "They came with the knife on their necks? It's too late!"
Then he told Eunuch Wu: "We are going to take our son away for a few days. If anyone else has been here, please write it down for us and settle the accounts with them later."
"Yes." Eunuch Wu responded hurriedly and respectfully.
~~
Boss Zhu didn't lie, he was indeed leaving for a few days.
Han Yike worked all night long to accept the case, but within ten days and eight days, he couldn't even hope to figure it out.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally planned to use this time to carefully study the layout plan of Zhongdu and make final adjustments before moving the capital.
Let’s reminisce about old times with fellow villagers, have a good chat with old brothers, and listen to their opinions and prospects for the future of Zhongdu.
But now, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to do any of these things. So early the next morning, he took his sons out of Xingfu Palace and left Zhongdu City, which made him increasingly uncomfortable...
He did not bring the extremely dazzling set of ceremonial books, but under the protection of the escorting bodyguards, he quietly returned to Linhuai County with his sons, back to Jinqiaokan where he was born and raised...
The army was stationed five miles outside the village for defense. Zhu Yuanzhang and his sons changed into common people's clothes and walked back to the village on foot.
It's August, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the rice fields are golden. The autumn wind blows, and the heavy ears of rice lower their heads, transforming into a sea of harvest.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince came back to help the five brothers harvest rice.
When their father and dearest eldest brother came to see the fruits of their labor, Zhu Feng, Zhu Zhu Di, Zhu Zhu and Zhu Zhen were naturally very excited.
In the excitement, I forgot about my eldest brother's "three noes" policy. The other brothers chattered around them, introducing every plant and tree in Jinqiaokan.
"The changes are indeed so great that we can hardly recognize them anymore." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the strange and familiar village in front of him, and said with emotion: "When the young man left home and his elder brother returned, the local pronunciation has not changed, and the hair on the temples has faded. The children do not recognize each other.
, laughing and asking where the guest comes from?”
"It's okay. All the kids in our village know you. Aren't you Hong Hao's father?" An old man's voice sounded from the crop field beside the road.
"Hong Hao..." Boss Zhu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this was the pseudonym he had given his second son. He quickly smiled and said, "Yes, we are their father."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands with the old man and said, "Isn't my father-in-law Tang Jia Zhang?"
"It's our old Tang." Tang Jia Chang pulled his foot out of the ground, and Zhu Fang hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"I've heard about it a long time ago, my father-in-law. Quanzi has been taking care of you during this period." Zhu Yuanzhang imitated the politeness of civil servants and said politely.
"Oh, good boys, you are back, but you have worried me so much." Tang Jia Chang didn't bother to talk to him. He walked straight to the five brothers, looked at them carefully, and said in a trembling voice: "Okay, okay, everything is fine."
Just be fine."
"Uncle, we miss you too!"
Zhu Zhen and others were also very excited when they saw Uncle Tang. They remembered that they were suddenly taken away by Mingjiao people that night. Although it had only been half a month, they felt as if they were in another world.
