Spring, five years.
The Great Ming Dynasty's second northern expedition was imminent.
However, the problem of leading the army gave Zhu Yuanzhang a headache!
150,000 elite cavalrymen and 300,000 warhorses were ready to go.
However, due to the Grand Marshal's problem, they could not set off.
Because, other than the number one general of Great Ming, Xu Da,
Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about handing over these 150,000 elites to others.
This was also Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest headache!
Xu Da was already an extremely powerful official.
The title has reached the Duke of Wei, and the official position has reached the right minister of the book.
His salary was as high as 5,000 stone, and he did not lack any books or iron coupons.
If he went one step further, he would have crossed Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line and become a "King with a Different Surname".
It wasn't that the Ming Dynasty couldn't have a king with a different surname, but that it couldn't have a living king with a different surname.
This was Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line!
And this Northern Expedition was extremely important, it concerned the stability of the border in the next few decades.
This was also an important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to choose Xu Da.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was having a headache,
Empress Ma gave Zhu Yuanzhang a suggestion.
Get married to the Xu family!
Not only could marriage improve the relationship between the two families, but it could also be considered a disguised reward!
Wouldn't this solve the problem of Zhu Yuanzhang not being able to reward him?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he felt that it made sense!
Therefore,
On a sunny day, Zhu Yuanzhang brought the Crown Prince Zhu Biao to the main hall to visit his princes.
Let's see who is more suitable to marry into the Xu family!
After watching for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang and Crown Prince Zhu Biao left!
……
Feng An Hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just returned from the main hall, was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
His beard trembled as he looked at Zhu Biao and said,"
"Boss, your mother is right."
"Since there's nothing to be rewarded,"
"Then we can only get married!"
Crown Prince Zhu Biao smiled gently.
"So, this is the reason why Imperial Father went to the main hall to see all the younger brothers today!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Biao and recalled what had happened in the main hall.
He immediately snorted.
"Humph! This little brat, Fourth Brother, actually dared to skip class. Sooner or later, he would break his legs!”
As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and continued,
"And that Sixth Brother too. He actually dared to sleep in class. Sooner or later, I'll let him taste the taste of the board!”
Zhu Biao thought of his fourth and sixth brothers and laughed.
"Imperial Father can't bear to!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's glare, Zhu Biao hurriedly said,
"Imperial Father always said that Fourth and Sixth are the most like you when you were young. They are a little naughty, but Imperial Father loves Fourth and Sixth the most in his heart!”
"Moreover, Fourth Brother and Sixth Brother have completed their homework today, although they didn't complete it in the main hall."
"But Imperial Father, you are not joking!"
Zhu Yuanzhang also thought of something and immediately smiled!
He waved his hand." You can continue to protect these two brats! I'll make you pay sooner or later!"
Zhu Biao smiled but didn't say anything!
As the elder brother, he naturally had to protect his younger brother!
Zhu Yuanzhang said,
"Boss! Tell me, among your younger brothers, which one of them is suitable to marry into the Xu family?？”
Zhu Biao thought for a moment, waved his sleeve, and analyzed,
"The Xu family has three daughters. The second and third daughters are still young.”
"Only the eldest daughter has reached the age of marriage.”
"Among my sons 'younger brothers, only the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers are about the same age as the eldest daughter of the Xu family!”
"But your son feels that the most suitable ones are still fourth and sixth brother!”
Zhu Yuan listened to Zhu Biao's analysis and asked,
"Why?"
Zhu Biao said loudly,
"Fourth brother's character is mischievous and doesn't listen to anyone. Even father and mother can't do anything to him.”
"But if you marry into the Xu family, Uncle Xu is a veteran who has been through hundreds of battles.”
"Fourth Brother has always been interested in the military.”
"Hehe! Who knows, Ling might be the next Great General!”
"So this deal is worth it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked,
"What did Sixth Brother say?"
"Although Sixth Brother's personality is somewhat similar to Fourth Brother's, it's also different!”
"Fourth brother is mischievous, sixth brother is arrogant!”
"Sixth Brother usually doesn't show his strength, but he knows everything in his heart. He just doesn't care to say it!”
"When he encounters something he doesn't like, he will interfere, and he will interfere until the end!”
"I'd rather deal with refugees and beggars than talk to a hypocritical gentleman!”
"Therefore, Sixth Brother's personality will be taught by Uncle Xu. He will also be the future pillar of my Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, his fingers tapping on the table.
After listening to Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have made a decision in his heart!
He waved his hand." Then let's give that bastard Fourth Brother to your Uncle Xu as a son-in-law!”
Zhu Biao was a little surprised, but he didn't say much. He nodded and said,
"Yes, Imperial Father!"
……
The palace's main hall,
At this moment, Zhu Di was like a cat with its fur standing on end. He roared,
"What is it? Father wants me to marry Uncle Xu's eldest daughter?”
The King of Qin, the King of Jin, the King of Zhou, and the King of Chu, Zhu Zhen, sat around Zhu Di.
Hearing Zhu Di's exclamation,
Everyone nodded in unison.
Zhu Di's expression suddenly turned ugly. He said angrily,
"Why should I marry the eldest daughter of the Xu family? I can decide my own marriage.”
"Whoever wants to marry me can marry me. I'm not marrying anyone!”
The King of Qin Zhu Xi, the King of Jin Zhu Xi, and the King of Zhou Zhu Xi all hurriedly persuaded Zhu Di!
King Chu Zhu Zhen chuckled as he watched this scene.
He sighed in his heart. This future Emperor Yong Le was really untamed!
Even he, who had transmigrated, had to admit defeat!
Zhu Zhen was watching a good show when he heard the King of Qin, Zhu Xi, say,
"That won't do. This is what Father has decided. You have no choice but to marry him!”
Then, he turned to look at Zhu Zhen, who was smiling evilly, and said,
"Sixth brother, don't laugh. You're lucky this time, you weren't chosen.”
"I heard from Big Brother that you were originally on this list of choices, but Imperial Father still chose Fourth Brother in the end!”
Zhu Zhen was taken aback. He laughed and shook his head.
"Didn't you choose me? I'm happy for Fourth Brother!”
However, Zhu Zhen thought to himself,
"Impossible, he knows that Xu Miaoyun will become Zhu Di's princess consort, the future queen who will be the mother of the world.
"It seems that even if I transmigrated here, I didn't change the direction of history!”
When Zhu Di heard this, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw.
He pointed at Zhu Zhen and said," Yes, yes! Sixth Brother is also suitable. Why are you looking for me? I'm not marrying you anyway!”
Zhu Zhen glanced at Zhu Di." Fourth Brother, just accept your fate! Imperial Father has already made his decision, so don't drag it into me!”
Everyone nodded and continued to persuade Zhu Di!
Zhu Zhen also stood up.
Stretching his back, he walked out of the main hall.
He wanted to see how his newly planted potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, yacon, peanuts, and tomatoes were growing!
The King of Qin, the King of Jin, and the King of Zhou also left after persuading Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was left to doubt his life!
Zhu Zhen hadn't walked far when the Twelfth Prince Zhu Bai jumped onto his back.
"Sixth Brother, Sixth Brother! Are there any more tomatoes? I still want to eat!"
Zhu Zhen hurriedly held onto Zhu Bai, who was moving about on his back, and smiled slightly.
He took out a bright red fruit from his bosom and handed it to Zhu Bai.
"There's one last one, there won't be more after you finish it."
"If you want to eat it again next time, you'll have to wait for a while!”
"Yay! Yay!"
Zhu Bai immediately laid on Zhu Zhen's back excitedly and waved the tomatoes in his hand.
Then, he took a big bite.
It was so delicious that he narrowed his eyes!
Just like that, Zhu Zhen carried Zhu Bai back to his own bedroom!
