Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said," Tell them to investigate thoroughly. Find out everything about this Zhu Wu. No matter what official business I'm handling, send me any news as soon as possible."”
"Yes, sir!"
The eunuch listened to the order and retreated silently.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pile of official business and frowned slightly. He put down his pen and a flame of fire ignited in his heart."If the cabinet system works…"
Just as he was thinking about this, a voice came from outside.
"Chongba, what time is it already?”
Outside the door, a woman with a few maids walked in without any notice.
She was Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, Guo Zixing's righteous daughter, Empress Ma.
The two of them had known each other since they were young and entrusted their lives to each other. Even after they became the empress, they still did not adhere to the conventional etiquette and still used the way they addressed each other in their early years.
Although she was the empress, she did not have any jewelry on her. Her brocade clothes were only in line with etiquette and did not have much decoration.
"Hehe, little sister."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he put down his pen with a smile."It's our own business. We have to take a look at it personally before we can be at ease. Why did you wait until now?”
"How can I sleep if you don't come back? This is your favorite donkey meat sesame seed cake. Hurry up and eat it.”
Empress Ma grumbled as she took the bowl from the maid.
He placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
As he spoke, he sat in front of Zhu Yuanzhang."I know you're unhappy and want to go out for a walk, but you have to tell me. I've waited for you for so long.”
"Hehe, I knew that little sister would care about us.”Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"But let me tell you, we didn't go out for nothing today. I found a great talent who can help us solve the big problem!"”
"I don't care what big deal you have. Eating is more important.”Empress Ma did not ask further.
This was something that the two of them had agreed upon when they first established the country.
The harem would never interfere in politics!
Empress Ma was adamant on this point. No one in the harem interfered with the affairs of the court, and the imperial relatives only gave them wealth.
Because of this, in the Ming Dynasty, there was no matter of relatives interfering in politics.
"Hehe, alright, let's eat.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile. However, this time, when he ate the donkey meat and the shaobing, he felt a little tasteless.
He didn't have the usual imposing manner of wolfing down food.
"Chongba, what happened to you?" Empress Ma asked curiously.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not a picky eater. He had been used to starving since he was young. When he was marching and fighting, it was fine as long as he had food to fill his stomach.
And now, the donkey meat was just a shaobing. To him, that was already the most delicious thing. In the past, he would eat it all. What was wrong with him today?
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Empress Ma asked worriedly. Before the world was pacified, Zhu Yuanzhang had been marching and fighting. Perhaps he had some hidden illness. Empress Ma could not help but think of this. This was not a joke.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the sole ruler of the world. If he was not comfortable, something big would happen.
"Hehe, sister, it's not that I'm not feeling well. It's just that I ate something good called hotpot at noon. Compared to that, my favorite donkey meat is shaobing.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a hint of unwillingness.
Speaking of which, he was also an emperor. Although his life was simple, the imperial chef still used his abilities to make all kinds of delicacies.
However, those delicacies were still far inferior to the meal at noon.
Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't forget about it.
"I was wondering what it was, but it turns out that you're greedy.”
Empress Ma smiled and asked curiously,""But what kind of dish is that hotpot? Why haven't I heard of it before? Just summon that chef into the palace and let him cook for you every day.”
"Hehe, this isn't an ordinary chef. He's our new son.”Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile. He still found today's incident very interesting.
"Son?"
However, Empress Ma's expression changed when she heard that.
"Chongba, your identity is now very different. You can't just casually acknowledge any foster son.”
During the war, Zhu Yuanzhang had adopted many sons.
Among them, Mu Ying, Li Wenzhong, He Wenhui, and Ping An were the most famous!
They had all made great contributions during the uprising. Because of the reputation of Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, no one dared to underestimate him.
In the past, it was fine when he was insignificant, but now Zhu Yuanzhang's identity was different from before.
As the emperor, how could he take in an adopted son?
That meant a huge distribution of benefits. Zhu Yuanzhang had always been clear-headed, so why did he do this today?
Although Empress Ma had never been involved in political affairs, she was a little anxious now.
"Hehe, look at you. We haven't finished talking yet.”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"We didn't take the initiative to acknowledge this son. Instead, he rushed over."”
"Oh?"
Empress Ma suddenly became curious, as if there was a story behind it."What happened?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and recounted everything that had happened today.
As if she was listening to a story, Empress Ma couldn't help but laugh.
"Zhu Zhongba, I see. Hehe, I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to ask you to be their father when you went out for a walk. This person is really lucky.”
"Sister, you're wrong about that. This isn't his fortune, but ours.”
"What do you mean?" Empress Ma was somewhat puzzled.
