In the eleventh year of Hongwu, the first lunar month, New Year's Day.
In this new year's grand meeting, in addition to the traditional congratulations ceremony, a number of decrees for kings and nobles were also announced.
Among them, the emperor's eleventh son Chun was canonized as the King of Shu; the emperor's twelfth son Bai was canonized as the King of Xiang; the emperor's thirteenth son Gui was canonized as the King of Yu; the emperor's fourteenth son Mei was named the King of Han; and the emperor's fifteenth son Zhi was named the King of Wei.
He also made Tanghe, Hou of Zhongshan, the Duke of Xinguo.
In addition, Mu Ying was granted the title of Marquis of Xiping for his contribution to conquering the West; Liao Dingguo was granted the title of Lord of Zhoushan for his contribution to pacifying the pirates at sea.
All the generals under him also received rewards, and it can be said that they were all very happy.
The only one who was unhappy was Lan Yu. He had always thought that he could be granted the title of Marquis, but unexpectedly, when the decree came down, there was nothing...
However, he was not stupid enough to cause trouble at the New Year's Eve meeting, and he held on to his resentment until the next court meeting.
~~
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the prince held a banquet in Chunhe Palace. He only invited a group of brothers and relatives to drink his second son's full moon wine. Fortunately, he only invited his own family members, so outsiders were not allowed to witness the family scandal...
But he said that the brothers were drinking in the palace, and they heard noises outside, and some people yelled and cursed.
The prince frowned slightly, and a eunuch quickly came in to report that Lan Yu was drunk and crazy.
"Why is he so drunk?" The prince stood up and asked as he walked out.
"He complained...that the emperor was unfair, scolding Marquis Xiping for stabbing him in the back, and accusing him of a crime." The eunuch followed the prince and reported in a low voice.
"..." The prince came to the entrance of the palace with a dark face, and saw Lan Yu fighting with Mu Ying in the corridor of the west wing, cursing and swearing.
"Mu, you dare not be a coward," Lan Yu grabbed Mu Ying's collar and scolded: "You dare to say it's not because I contradicted you in order to save a few brothers in Huda Longwa.
reason?"
"Let go, I told you, this matter has nothing to do with me!" Mu Ying grabbed Lan Yu's hand and said angrily: "If you don't let go, I won't be polite!"
"I don't intend to be polite to you!" Lan Yu suddenly punched with her other hand, a black tiger ripped out the heart and hit Mu Ying's chest.
Mu Ying was already on guard and hurriedly used her other hand to block. Both of them had drunk a lot of wine, and their movements were somewhat deformed. They were fighting on the porch like villagers in the countryside.
The two men's subordinates also gathered around, cheering and cheering for their respective commanders.
"Stop!" The prince's angry voice sounded: "Tie Lan Yu to me!"
Then a group of men with knives came forward, separated the two of them with hands and feet, then cut Lan Yu's hands behind her back and tied them with ropes.
When Lan Yu saw the prince, she lost her temper and only had a look of grievance: "Prince, I..."
"What are you doing? Just wait and eat!" The prince gave him a stern look and waved his hand: "Take him to the stable to sober up and take care of him later!"
Lan Yu was dejected and escorted to the back by the guards. The prince once again put his arms around Mu Ying's shoulders, pulling his godbrother who had grown up together, and said apologetically: "Brother Wenying, don't take it seriously, this guy is
Like this, if you pour some horse urine, you will go crazy."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have been working with him for many years, but I still don't know what his temper is like. If you are in a bad mood, you must vent it out." Mu Ying said magnanimously.
"Oh, he is acting wild here because he is the uncle of the Crown Princess, but he forgets that we are still brothers who grew up wearing crotchless pants. We can't tell the difference between the close ones. What a fool!" The Crown Prince said with a face full of hatred.
"Brother, don't worry, I will explain to him. I suppressed his Marquis this time, and it has nothing to do with you!"
He deliberately said this to everyone to help Mu Ying eliminate the rumors. "It's just to temper his temper... If morality is not matched, there will be disaster!"
"Actually, General Lan loves his soldiers like his own son and is loyal, so he is worthy of a high position." Mu Ying said hurriedly and softly.
"Oh, compared with a kind and generous gentleman like Brother Wenying, he is really unbearable!" The prince shook his head and sighed: "That's all, let's not talk about him. It's rare for us brothers to meet each other. Let's go and talk alone in the back."
After saying that, he said to the third child: "Give everyone a greeting for me." Then he confessed his crime and went to the back hall with Mu Ying arm in arm.
~~
Chunhe Palace, in the main hall, the banquet continues.
The prince is not here, and the brothers have also shown their true colors.
The third child and the fourth child began to quarrel, and the sixth child was not idle and found his own little magic tool to relieve stress.
"Lao Qi, sit down, why are you standing all the time?" Lao Liu smiled and suddenly slapped Lao Qi's butt from behind, which made Lao Qi say "Ah" in pain.
"What are you doing!" Lao Qi turned around fiercely. After seeing clearly that it was Lao Liu, his fierce expression turned into anger.
"What? Did you get spanked by your mother and concubine again?" Lao Liu said sympathetically: "I won't let your butt rest even if you are celebrating the New Year."
"I want you to take care of it!" Lao Qi's face turned red. Knowing that if he stayed any longer, Lao Liu, a bastard who didn't know how to amuse himself, stormed away.
"Don't leave!" Lao Liu shouted at his back: "This person always runs away before he can say more than two words... Lao Ba, do you want to leave too?"
"No, Brother Six, I won't leave." Lao Ba shook his head timidly.
"Just don't leave." Lao Liu sat down next to Lao Ba, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't get involved with Lao Seven in the future. He is a pervert. I'm worried that I will lead you as well."
"Hey, I remember Brother Six." Lao Ba nodded.
What Lao Liu said was not a joke. Last year, his two brothers also went to Fengyang to train, but within a few months they were called back and beaten up by their father because they made too much trouble.
After the beating, they were detained until the end of the new year, and then released after the Chinese New Year.
Concubine Da Ding originally thought that her son would start to take the leading role and everything would be fine. Maybe she could catch up from behind and become a concubine before the Hu family.
After all, I have two sons, and only one is named Hu. How come he can't surpass her even if he has twice the merit, but he didn't expect that the trouble will also be double.
So when the two brothers came out of confinement, they had to bear double the wrath of their mother and concubine, and they didn't let their cocks rest during the Chinese New Year...
~~
The brothers were drinking and talking when the curtain over there was opened and the Crown Princess came out with her second son Yun Wen in her arms to meet her family.
Zhu Yunwen was not the Crown Princess's biological child, but Mrs. Chang was kind and generous and treated her as her own, holding her in her arms and teasing her sisters-in-law.
A group of brothers-in-law couldn't come forward, so they watched from a distance from their seats.
In order not to continue arguing with the third child, Zhu Di sat down next to the sixth child. While looking at Zhu Yunwen, he whispered: "I think this child is much worse than Xiongying. No matter how you look at it, you don't like it. Look at that head.
It's like the moon, not round at all."
"I think it's okay, it has a kind of beauty that is missing the brain stem." Lao Liu also whispered.
"Look, heroes think alike." The fourth child was happy to see that he was not the only one with prejudice. But if he knew what was going on in the sixth child's mind, he would definitely be shocked.
'I don't know what kind of disease Xiongying will get in the future. Can Fifth Brother cure him?'
'If Xiongying can't be saved, we have to find a way to kill Zhu Yunwen...'
‘Holy shit, he’s also the eldest brother’s son, how could I have such thoughts.’ Zhu Zhen sighed secretly, but he really hated this kid.
There is no way, who can let the boy in the crown prince's arms conflict with the feudal king...
ps. I’m going to Sichuan to participate in a salon, and I haven’t been out for several years. The good news is that I’ve saved a few manuscripts. If I work harder at coding, there should be no interruptions... It’s so easy for an old comrade in his forties to travel.
I still have to code the door, is it easy for me? Please give me a monthly pass~~~~
