Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.
This was the day he had decided to marry Zhu Di and Zhu Wenzheng!
When it came to a wedding, one had to be bold and decisive.
And the wedding that was about to be held was naturally held in the palace!
Firstly, it was to express his interest in this wedding banquet.
Moreover, one had to know that the identity of the person who got married was not ordinary.
Zhu Di!
Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, the woman he wanted to marry, was the daughter of Xu Da, the general who had just reclaimed the northern territories!
The two lords were the current Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the Duke of Wei Xu Da!
This wedding naturally had to be grand!
The other couple was Zhu Wenzheng and Minmin Moore.
One was the famous War God from the Hongdu Battle!
The other was the princess of Yuan Ting who had been captured.
Their statuses were not as noble as the previous couple, but they were not much inferior.
Zhu Wenzheng was finally willing to leave the Red Chamber Flower Boat because of this trivial matter.
Arriving at the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma sat on the main seat, while Crown Prince Zhu Biao stood beside them.
Behind them, Zhu Di and Zhu Wenzheng sat down.
Although it was just a formality, one could still see the dignity of the royal family!
The auspicious time had arrived, and the firecrackers outside had already been lit up.
"Crackle!"
"Crackle!"
The firecrackers rang out one after another.
He slowly walked in with the officials.
He cupped his hands and said,"The emperor's fourth son, Zhu Di, and General Zhu, Zhu Wenzheng, are getting married today. It's a great joy for the court and a great fortune for the world!"”
"This official congratulates the emperor and empress for a long life!”
The ministers also shouted together,"Longevity for thousands of years, eternal glory!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,"Alright, alright!"
At this moment, Lee Shan Chang and the others took out a red packet from their pockets.
"Emperor, this minister knows that you are incorruptible, but this minister still prepared some small gifts to express my respect and congratulations!"”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the list of gifts in the hands of the ministers and said,"Return all the gifts in your hands! I've said it before. My son is getting married. Just congratulate him. Everything else is back!”
"This subject's intentions are not in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, but are completely in accordance with the rules of my hometown," Li Shan Chang hurriedly said.”
"In my hometown, when someone gets married, why don't the villagers prepare gifts when they come?”
"Emperor, you can treat this minister's intentions as five feet of cloth from your hometown!”
Zhu Yuanzhang still wanted to decline.
But Empress Ma knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.
"If the Emperor doesn't accept it, then I'll accept it."”
When the officials heard this, they all cheered and became lively for a moment.
Everyone rushed forward and desperately handed over the congratulatory gifts in their hands.
They were afraid of falling behind.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne and looked at the officials with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go to the Hall of Martial Valor, let's go drink!"”
A group of officials beside Zhu Di toasted him.
"The Fourth Prince's wedding today is truly worthy of celebration!”
"Yeah, marrying the daughter of the Duke of Wei is really a blessing!”
"Fourth Prince, come, cheers!"
This group of people gathered together to drink and make merry.
On the contrary, Zhu Wenzheng didn't have anyone to toast him.
Liu Bowen wanted to propose a toast, but he was stopped by Zhu Wenzheng's gaze.
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen needed to be a lone official!
However, he was also a lone official, or even a lone official who only knew how to eat, drink, and play!
Now, no one among the officials came to propose a toast.
What did this mean?
It wasn't a disrespect to him, but a warning to Zhu Yuanzhang.
I, Zhu Wenzheng, have no ambition. Look at the officials of the Imperial Court, I didn't rope anyone in.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also held his bowl.
He came to Zhu Wen Zheng's side and said,"Today is your big day. Don't go to any brothel."”
Hearing this, Zhu Wenzheng could not help but laugh."Uncle, don't worry. I won't go today.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,"Come, let's do it."”
Zhu Wenzheng hurriedly filled a bowl of wine. The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"Ever since your father left, I've been taking care of you.”
When he heard this, Zhu Wenzheng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise.
He knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang would not say anything in vain.
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang said,""After getting married today, you have also grown up. Logically speaking, you should be able to take charge of your own affairs.”
"But your aunt can't bear to part with you, so I want you to continue to accompany me in the capital. How about it?”
When Zhu Wenzheng saw this scene, he could not help but think to himself, Was he going to be conferred the title of king?
If not, why would Zhu Yuanzhang say such a thing to him?
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but smile.""What are you saying? How can I forget uncle's kindness to me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Wenzheng and smiled."You're really smart."
After saying that, he walked back to his dragon throne and said nothing.
With just this action, the originally lively banquet instantly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes instantly gathered on Zhu Yuanzhang.
They knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to announce something big.
As for what it was?
The ministers understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had already decided to awaken and become a vassal king!
After all, the Fourth Prince was already married.
That would be too inappropriate.
But you're not in the capital. Where are you going?
After getting married, there had to be a place to go, right?
After thinking about it, he could only enfeoffe them.
But everyone knew that this was a drawback!
Everyone was very clear about the situation of enfeoffing a vassal king.
A vassal king would always be a hidden danger for a dynasty!
Whether it was Li Shanzhang or Liu Bowen.
Although the two of them never got along, they were surprisingly consistent on this matter!
Since ancient times, no vassal king had been stable.
Look at the Rebellion of the Eight Princes in the Han Dynasty, and then look at the outstanding heroes in Zhuolu at the end of the Eastern Han!
Then, look at the later stages of the Tang Dynasty, where the military governors were separated.
No matter how one looked at it, the vassal king was the most unreliable!
However, since Zhu Yuanzhang had already made his decision, no one could persuade him.
Everyone knew what Zhu Yuanzhang's personality was like.
If someone tried to persuade him, that would be a dead end!
Moreover, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
His son would never be like those people in history.
Although in history, it could be seen that many vassal kings rebelled and caused the decline of the dynasty.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence was unquestionable!
Because he was confident that his Great Ming was different from the previous dynasty, and he was also glad that his Great Ming would definitely not walk down the old path described in history!
This was the confidence he had in his descendants!
