After discussing several other important military and state affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang asked everyone except Deng Yu to retreat.
Deng Yu was pounding in his heart, feeling that nothing good was going to happen.
"Bo Yan." Then Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I have something good to discuss with you."
Deng Yu raised his head after hearing this, and saw that as time passed, the morning light could no longer shine on the emperor's face.
Only then did he know why the superior had to open the window to light himself today, because there was a green patch on Boss Zhu's forehead.
Sensing Deng Yu's gaze, Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously touched his forehead and said with a smile: "We accidentally bumped into each other, it has nothing to do with anyone else. My mother-in-law also said that we, at our age, are still talking to Mao Xiaobo.
Like..."
"Oh, I also fell down a while ago." Deng Yu quickly lowered his head and said with a smile: "My eldest daughter also said that about me..."
"Haha, you see." Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he heard this. He simply stepped down from the throne and talked face to face with Deng Yu: "Your eldest daughter is already eighteen or nineteen, has she been married?"
"My daughter has just turned eighteen. Because her mother passed away two years ago, she insisted on marrying after the period of mourning, so she still has to wait in the boudoir." Deng Yu felt a drum in his heart. He had already heard what the emperor meant. Royal Family and Meritorious Officials
Marriage seems to be becoming a common practice.
"Are you full now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked kindly.
"Qiuli has already surrendered." Deng Yu responded. He said that at this time when Huaixi was in turmoil, it would be a good thing to marry the emperor and help his whole family to get through smoothly.
But he counted the emperor's sons, and no one was suitable...
The third child has become a father, the fourth child has already been engaged to the general's family, and the sixth child is still too young...
"Then you have to get married quickly. As a father, you have already been delayed by your daughter." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.
"Yes, yes." Deng Yu responded casually, thinking in his mind: "It can't be that the general doesn't want to marry his daughter to the fourth son, so he can use his own daughter as a spare tire?" Deng Yu secretly thought, I can't agree to that, either.
We are all dukes, so we cannot afford to lose our status for nothing.
But it seems that there is no harm in agreeing, she is the majestic Princess Yan! I can also get the father-in-law of Prince Yan, isn’t it wonderful?
"Then what do you think of our two families getting married?" At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"It is the honor of our family to be favored by the emperor and become the in-laws of the emperor." Deng Yu quickly expressed his attitude, and then asked: "It's just that the ages of your highnesses are not suitable, right?"
‘Oh, by the way, there is another fifth child, how could I have forgotten him?’ Deng Yu suddenly thought of another person, but then he thought, no, King Wu is still in mourning for Concubine Sun, it can’t be him...
"Yes, why not?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "My second child is twenty this year, isn't it suitable for your eldest daughter?"
"Uh..." Deng Yu was stunned immediately, and the little theater in his head also stopped playing. After a while, he swallowed and said: "The superior, don't talk too much, don't nag too little, the King of Qin has a wife.
"
"What's wrong with having a wife?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a nonchalant look: "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? Besides, the second son is the number one vassal king in the world. Is it enough to have two wives?"
"More... not much." An honest man like Deng Yu became anxious and blurted out: "It's just the eldest daughter of the Duke of the country, how can she not be the official wife?"
"That's easy. I'll demote you one level and it'll be no problem." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.
"Higher rank..." Deng Yu called out aggrievedly.
"Haha, I'm kidding you." Boss Zhu laughed again and said: "You said that the eldest daughter of the prince can only be the wife, but that is the case of marrying a minister. Our son is a prince, the head of a vassal.
Not to mention his concubines, even his concubines are not comparable to the official wives of his ministers, right?"
"Yes, that's true." Deng Yu nodded and said casually: "But my daughter is spoiled at home. I'm afraid she won't be able to do small things for others. It's better to marry a well-matched man...
…”
"You have the wrong idea!" Seeing that he still didn't agree, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and said, "Didn't you listen to what the common people said, you would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head?"
"I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail if you are in a superior position..." Deng Yu said speechlessly.
"Really? That means we are abusing idioms again." Boss Zhu rubbed the back of his head and chuckled, "Just understand the spirit."
As he spoke, he put his arms around Deng Yu's arms and said kindly: "And why do we let your daughter be a phoenix tail? I promise you that after she gets married, the queen and I will hold her as painfully as our own daughter."
Doing small things like that doesn't exist...
"Besides, it's not like you don't know about the affairs of Prince Qin's family. In order to recruit Wang Baobao to surrender, we asked the second son to marry his sister Guanyinnu. But the brat who grew up in the military camp said that 'Han and Hu are incompatible.'
, but he is determined not to touch his wife." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sad look on his face:
"We've been married for two years, and we haven't slept together yet. Do you think this princess is just a decoration? Oh my god, my mother and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep the whole night...
"The second brother has been holding back all day long and feels uncomfortable." Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes and said: "The other day I heard that his third brother also became a father. He was so anxious that he shed tears on the spot. You
As a father, do you feel even more uncomfortable?"
Qingdao pointed at his forehead as he spoke: "We were all in a daze because of the discomfort, and that's why we bumped into the lamp stand."
"Oh, that's it." Deng Yu suddenly realized, thinking, I thought it was the queen who beat me...
"So as a minister, do you have to share your worries for the king?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Deng Yu steadily and said in a rogue manner:
"Anyway, we are optimistic about your daughter. As long as she gets married, she will have what the principal concubine has, and the wedding will be as the principal concubine does. Besides, Wang Baobao's father died long ago, and you are the only father-in-law of King Qin!"
"Oh, okay..." Deng Yu sighed, finally realizing the suffering of General Xu.
Once the emperor opens his mouth, how can he allow you to refuse as a minister? Even if you have the courage to refuse, who would dare to marry your daughter?
So I could only hold my nose and agree.
"Haha, okay, then the matter is settled." Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Tomorrow your sister-in-law will cook in person, let's have a good drink, set the date, and let our daughter marry in style!"
"Yes." Deng Yu lowered his head and responded, almost crying but without tears.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing," Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said with deep meaning: "There is some unreliable news. It is said that Wang Baobao is dead..."
"Oh?" Deng Yu suddenly became energetic. "This is a great thing! Can you get the exact information from the general?"
When Yu Gong and Wang Baobao died, Beiyuan lost its last pillar and could hardly pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty again.
In private terms, as soon as Wang Baobao died, his sister would lose her united front value and sooner or later she would be deposed and his daughter would take over.
ps. I got up at six o'clock today, went to see my mother first, and then started writing as soon as I got back. I finished writing a chapter now, so I should be more optimistic today.
