Er Hu led the way while Zhu Wen rode behind him.
Rich playboys naturally loved to ride tall horses.
Along the way, Zhu Wenzheng was in a good mood.
However, he had been thinking about how Zhu Yuanzhang would make things difficult for him when he saw him!
Even though they were uncle and nephew, to Zhu Yuanzhang.
As long as there was an unstable factor, it had to be put on the list.
Zhu Wenzheng knew Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts very well, so he acted more and more like a silkpants.
Zhu Yuanzhang found him more pleasing to the eye.
As long as he was pleasing to the eye, Zhu Wenzheng's situation would be much safer.
It might be useless for others to be arrogant, but arrogant silkpants could save their lives.
When they arrived at the palace, Er Hu stopped leading the way and followed behind Zhu Wenzheng.
After all, Zhu Wenzheng was the emperor's relative, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor, so Zhu Wenzheng was the emperor's nephew.
Erhu was still very strict with the rules.
Zhu Wenzheng arrived at the entrance of the palace and casually glanced inside. He saw Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.
Both of them were here?
Could it be a family banquet?
That was not right. This was not the time to eat.
Moreover, the two of them seemed to be discussing something.
Did they call him here to discuss something?
Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but be cautious.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were both here, and it was related to him.
It seemed that the matter was not small. He had to deal with it carefully.
Zhu Wenzheng understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was probably going to tell him something important.
Moreover, Empress Ma was also present. This meant that the two of them had discussed this together.
Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but sigh.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had changed their attitude towards him.
After Zhu Wenzheng entered the palace, he walked straight to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Naturally, he had to bow to his elders.
Zhu Wenzheng bowed. Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly walked over and said,"Don't be so polite. We're all family. There's no need for so many rules.”
Zhu Wenzheng saw Zhu Yuanzhang smiling at him.
This smile was very friendly and gave Zhu Wenzheng a warm feeling.
But the more this was the case, the more shocked Zhu Wenzheng was.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a very suspicious person.
Zhu Wenzheng knew very well that his performance in the Battle of Hongdu would definitely make Zhu Yuanzhang wary.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's warm attitude towards him was even more suspicious.
What they were most afraid of was killing people with a soft knife!
Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was too abnormal for Zhu Wenzheng.
Zhu Wenzheng didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't play dumb. Instead, he went straight to the point."Seeing that you're about to be conferred a title of nobility, your aunt asked me to ask you what kind of title you want.”
"You've made too much of a contribution. We'll give you whatever title you want!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was sincere, as if he was talking to Zhu Wenzheng from the bottom of his heart.
This made Zhu Wenzheng heave a sigh of relief.
Great, so it was a title of nobility!
Empress Ma also echoed,"Wen Zheng, you've contributed so much this time. I can't let you down, right?”
If it was someone who didn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang, they would believe that this was Zhu Yuanzhang's idea.
Moreover, I'll be honest with you and let you choose.
However, Zhu Wenzheng knew Zhu Yuanzhang too well.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not asking him to choose a title. This was probably related to his future life.
If Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to give him a title, he would have to take credit for it.
Wouldn't he just casually become a Duke?
Was there a need to do this?
Zhu Yuanzhang was never someone who would take off his pants and fart.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was still afraid of him, and he was very afraid.
Zhu Wenzheng was even more aware of the situation.
No matter what Zhu Yuanzhang says, don't believe it.
No matter what, he could not ask for a title.
To others, the title of nobility was an honor.
However, to Zhu Wenzheng, the title of a person that Zhu Yuanzhang feared was a death sentence.
Was Zhu Yuanzhang's title so easy to obtain?
If he wanted the title, he would definitely be on Zhu Yuanzhang's list of names.
Perhaps, they would not be punished yet.
However, Zhu Wenzheng was clear.
As long as his cousin Zhu Biao died, wouldn't the settlement come directly?
Wasn't the title of nobility a death warrant?
Zhu Wenzheng didn't want the title even if he was beaten to death. Who would like to choose a dead end?
But if he didn't want a title, he had to have a set of excuses.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not an existence that could be easily fooled.
Look at Liu Bowen. He had wanted to resign many times, but what was the result?
Liu Bowen was also someone who wanted to be rewarded. Would he dare to accept it?
He didn't dare to take it, but what could he say?
He couldn't possibly say that he wanted to retire and return to his hometown, right?
Liu Bowen had resigned for many years. He had not succeeded for so many years. Could it be because of the founding of the country?
Would Zhu Yuanzhang agree?
Stop dreaming!
If Liu Bowen insisted on retiring, he would leave his head behind.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a nostalgic person. He would talk about Liu Bowen every day when he did not see him.
In order to alleviate the pain of longing, he would leave something behind as a memento.
At that time, he might not have any memories after thinking about it.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had the final say on what to keep, and Liu Bowen could not say anything.
If Zhu Yuanzhang had directly said that he would leave his head behind, it would have been just a thought.
What else could Liu Bowen do?
In order to survive, Liu Bowen had no choice but to accept this title.
On the other hand, Zhu Wenzheng.
He was obsessed with the red pavilion and the flower boats all day long, and he was accompanied by wine and women every day.
In the beginning, he had to rely on Zhu Yuanzhang to eat and drink.
His daily schedule was also at Zhu Yuanzhang. No, the entire Jinling City knew that he had been staying at the Red Pavilion Flower Boat day and night recently.
He had always presented himself as a hedonistic son.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, a person's image was very difficult to change.
Even after Zhu Wenzheng became famous in one battle and became the God of War.
The reason why they were involved in the Battle of Hongdu was because Old Zhu had forced them to do so.
However, before and after he made his move, he would always be a regular customer of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'.
She was also forced to leave her home of tenderness and go to the front line to fight for Hongdu.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not deny this.
Rather than saying that he was an ambitious tiger leopard who hid his strength.
It would be better to say that Zhu Wenzheng was an existence that was addicted to the beauty of Dream of the Red Chamber.
Therefore, he had a sufficient excuse to not want the title, and Zhu Yuanzhang would not have any doubts.
Zhu Wenzheng waved his hand and said,"Uncle, if you really want to reward me, don't say that you want to give me an official position."”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Empress Ma.
"I don't have any interest in being an official. I have to manage everything and worry about everything.”
"Uncle, just reward me with beautiful women and money. This way, I'll have money to go to the brothel in the future.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You're really something, kid. Other people beg us to give them a title of nobility, but when it comes to you, you're inferior to a few beauties and a few money.”
When Empress Ma heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Wen Zheng doesn't want the title, how can this be? Wouldn't this make your uncle be called unjust by outsiders?"”
Zhu Wenzheng hurriedly said,"Who dares to gossip about our uncle? They're rebelling!"”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to walk out.
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly grabbed Zhu Wenzheng's shoulder and said,""How old are you?"
In fact, Zhu Wenzheng's words were too much in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
But Zhu Wenzheng said he didn't want it, so how could he not give it to him?
It didn't matter whether others gossiped or not, but why would Zhu Yuanzhang care about those rumors?
The main reason was that he didn't have any disloyal family members.
Zhu Yuanzhang arrived very late.
Zhu Wenzheng didn't have a title, so Old Zhu naturally couldn't stand it.
Therefore, whether or not he wanted a title did not depend on Zhu Wenzheng.
However, how he would obtain the title would depend on Zhu Wenzheng.
Taking the initiative to ask for it was a path of being cleared.
If you don't take the initiative, it's just a false reputation. You can still have fun in Jinling.
Zhu Yuanzhang said,"If you don't want it, we can't refuse. When the time comes, we'll make you an uncle."
"It's just that your aunt is a nostalgic person. She misses you very much.”
"If you go to the fief, your aunt will be sad if she doesn't see you.”
Hearing this, Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but think to himself," I'm afraid you'll feel uneasy if you don't see me.
She thought so, but she couldn't say it like that.
Zhu Wenzheng waved his hand." Uncle, what are you talking about? There are so many beauties in Jinling City. Why should I go to the fief?"”
"If I go to that place where my feet poop, where can I play? There's not even a hook. What's the point?”
"Aunt, if you miss me, tell me. I'll just come and see you.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but pat Zhu Wenzheng's shoulder.
This was the answer he wanted!
He was very happy now. As long as Zhu Wenzheng stayed in Jinling, under his nose.
Zhu Yuanzhang could rest assured.
Who would worry about those people who did everything every day and worked for a long time before putting them on their own tables?
His nephew was too smart!
Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Wenzheng's hand and said,""Wen Zheng, don't go out empty-handed.”
So he ordered,"Men, send all the money to my nephew's residence."”
When Zhu Wenzheng heard this, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning was obvious.
Zhu Wenzheng knew that he should have passed this stage.
"Thank you, Uncle."”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but pull Zhu Wenzheng back when he saw how reluctant he was to leave.
"Little lover, are you so reluctant to part with that courtesan?"”
Zhu Wenzheng chuckled." Uncle, what are you talking about? I'm going to enjoy myself."”
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at him and said," Don't even think about leaving since you're already here. Just accompany your aunt and have a chat. You can leave after eating."”
Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but be stunned. Was she asking him to stay for a meal?
Thinking about it, Zhu Wenzheng also felt that he should have passed.
"How can I disobey Uncle's words?"”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and walked out.
Empress Ma smiled." Oh, you. If it weren't for your uncle calling you, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to bear to come out of the Red Chamber."”
Zhu Wenzheng chuckled." Auntie, you must be joking. When you have no money, you still have to come out."”
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Wenzheng meaningfully and then said nothing more.
