In Chunhe Palace, everyone is enjoying themselves.
In fact, today is neither Zhu Biao's third son's full moon banquet nor his centenary banquet. It is a banquet hosted by the prince to thank his mother and son for being their lifesaver.
In fact, if it were only the fifth and sixth child, the boss would have no need to be polite. So it was mainly to thank Zhang Xunzhen who delivered the baby himself.
Everyone knew that the Crown Princess was very lively, so after lunch, they went back to Dongnuang Pavilion and chatted with her while drinking tea.
The prince and his wife were grateful to Zhang Xunzhen from the bottom of their hearts, and because of Lao Liu, they really treated her as a family member.
Moreover, Zhang Xunzhen was so good at it. In front of the prince and the king of Zhou and his wife, she spoke elegantly and behaved well, which made people like her instantly, but she never took the spotlight.
As a result, both the Crown Princess and Princess Zhou liked her very much, and no longer called her 'Taoist Master' or 'Zhenren', but instead called her the affectionate sister one by one.
Seeing that Zhang Xunzhen became best friends with his two sisters-in-law in a blink of an eye, Lao Liu was dumbfounded. Is this the top-quality green tea? Does it look like this if it is disguised as green tea?
But think about it again, isn’t green tea just made from green leaves, so there’s nothing wrong with it.
~~
Women talk about women's topics, so naturally the three men also have things to talk about.
"Guozi University, are everything ready over there?" the prince asked the sixth child while playing chess with the two of them.
"You will never be ready if you rely on preparation." Lao Liu gnawed at the apple and said vaguely: "Anyway, school will start on February 2nd."
"Father is going to attend the opening ceremony in person, so you can't do anything too outrageous." The prince jumped a citrine marble forward several spaces.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. Once those decrees are announced, it will definitely explode. Who will care about how many cannons were fired and how many pots of flowers were placed during my ceremony?" Lao Liu moved his blue crystal indifferently.
marbles,
"Indeed, those reform plans are too shocking." Even Lao Wu, who doesn't care about worldly affairs, felt dizzy after seeing it. He used the green crystal marble to jump several steps with Lao Liu's chess piece:
"I really didn't expect that my eldest brother would agree."
"Lao Liu has convinced my father, what can I do?" Even though the prince said this, he had a relaxed smile on his face and did not feel helpless at all.
"Now the two of us vent our anger through the same nose, and I, the eldest, am pitifully isolated."
"Is that true? Is that true? I will put this aside for other dynasties, and I will have to commit suicide when I go back." Lao Liu said, dumbfounded: "I will be the eldest brother in everything from now on. Is that okay now?"
"Hahaha, you kid, don't follow me and do the trick of retreating in order to advance." The prince reached out and patted Lao Liu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If I don't agree with your trick, why would you let me teach Xiongying?"
"Hehe, eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother." Lao Liu said half jokingly and half seriously: "Actually, sometimes I am still a little worried. Will eldest brother have opinions about me?"
This is indeed not just a joke. Not only this time, when father and son discuss politics in the past two years, it is often the sixth son and the old thief who are more in tune. They are both radical, full of anger against the old order, and both want to push everything.
Again.
As for the prince, compared with these two super radicals, his views are always relatively moderate, relatively conservative, and relatively considerate of the overall situation, so every argument always ends with the prince's reservations...
If things go on like this, no one can stand it, right?
However, Lao Liu was only a little worried, because his confidence in his elder brother even exceeded his confidence in himself.
"Ah? Do you still have such worries?" Sure enough, the prince's eyes widened, he looked at the younger brother he had seen since he was a child and said: "If the eldest brother had a problem with you, he would have called you over to whip you. It's no use.
Do you have to keep it in your heart?"
"Yes, you can beat me up if you want." Lao Wu nodded, not knowing who he was talking to.
"That's true." Lao Liu scratched his head and said, "It's all because of what eldest brother said just now. That's why I'm a little worried."
"Don't listen to the wind or the rain, think about these things, put your heart firmly back in your stomach. When I want to beat you, I will be the first to let you know." The prince said, taking a checker and borrowing it.
The marbles holding the two bratty brothers jumped to the bottom.
"Brother, if you say this, you won't have any worries at all. If you want to beat me, just say it, no matter the wind or rain, I will come to see you with my buttocks raised." Lao Liu chuckled and gave the eldest brother another ride.
A bridge. Playing chess with my elder brother, he has always been like this...
"Hahaha, big brother, there is nothing else. There is still a pattern, and it is big." The boss was very useful. While enjoying the pleasure of jumping in succession, he said with a smile:
"What is the atmosphere of founding a country? It means that there are no taboos! We should refer to the past regulations, but we cannot adhere to them. Otherwise, we will create another Song and Yuan Dynasty. What's the point? How can the Ming Dynasty surpass the previous dynasty?"
"If you want the Ming Dynasty to surpass the previous dynasties, you have to do something new that no one has done before. In this case, if you don't do it while your father is around, when will you do it? When my father is gone in the future, he will set the rules
, it becomes an ancestral law. Who dares to say that he is better than his father? So if you want to move, it will be ten times and a hundred times more difficult than now!"
The prince's voice was calm and surging, and he said: "It's a pity that the education I received since childhood has restricted me, preventing me from being as unconstrained as you two. I dare to think and do anything."
He looked at Lao Liu with candid eyes and said:
"This is my problem, not yours. So I support you and your father in your struggle. The most I can do is pour cold water on you and help you calm down when your minds are overheated. To prevent you from taking too big a step and going too far."
"Yes, that will hurt the eggs." Lao Liu nodded.
"Hahaha!" The three brothers burst out laughing.
"Brother, aren't you afraid that my father and I will be too radical?" After laughing, Lao Liu asked seriously: "What if we go the wrong way?"
"Don't be afraid." Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a smile: "If you take the wrong path, just change it. Reform has always been a matter of 'depending on what is above, what is within; what is within, what is below; what is below, what is achieved'
Then there is nothing gained.
"If you find that you have gone too far, just go back and change it. Do you think that if you don't take radical steps, no one will hold you back?"
"There must be some. As long as you do something, there will be people who will object. Unless you don't move." Lao Liu said solemnly: "But if you don't move, you are a bastard!"
"Hahaha." The prince laughed so hard that his stomach ached and said, "You old man, every time I finish talking to you, I can't stand straight up."
"Is it my fault?" Lao Liu blinked innocently.
"No blame, no blame, I blame the low point of laughter." Zhu Biao waved his hands and wiped his tears and said: "With my father and me here, there are opportunities for trial and error. Don't have any worries, just go ahead and do it. Everything will be done."
Big brother is carrying me!"
"Yeah." Lao Liu nodded heavily, feeling like he was on fire. He couldn't help but sigh secretly. It's true that the strongest has his own way. Usually he brainwashes others, but he didn't expect that one day it would be the other way around.
