Everyone was stunned on the spot.
However, unlike what they had imagined, not only did Empress Ma not die of illness, but she also looked quite good!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw a bunch of people squeezing in and couldn't help but frown.
These people were becoming more and more unruly. They actually dared to barge into the Empress's bedroom like this?
"What do you want to do?" he shouted angrily. Rebellion?"
This angry rebuke directly shocked everyone who rushed into the hall!
"Your Majesty, please punish us for our recklessness!”
Hu Weiyong was the first to kneel down and sincerely apologized.
With him leading the way, the other ministers also knelt down. Even Zhu Di, Zhu Rong, and the other princes also knelt down.
In front of the furious Zhu Yuanzhang, no one dared to be impudent!
Zhu Biao didn't kneel down. He and Old Zhu didn't interact like the emperor and the crown prince. Instead, they were more like father and son in an ordinary family. Their relationship was extremely deep.
Seeing that his mother was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief!
However, looking at the cute little loli in front of him and the harmonious scene of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, he felt that they were a happy family, and he felt like an outsider!
This feeling made his heart ache.
However, Zhu Biao soon found his emotions funny and asked,""Your son greets Imperial Father and Imperial Mother. What is her identity?"
Halfway through his question, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately glared at him with eyes full of disdain!
How could he have such a silly son?
Granddaughter!
He had a mysterious background and held great power!
In addition to this iconic dragon horn!
Was there a need to state it clearly?
Zhu Biao was stunned at first, but then he noticed the little loli's appearance and quickly reacted!
This was his second brother's child!
Could it be that his second brother had returned?
Thinking of this, Zhu Biao looked around happily. He wanted to find this brother who had run away from home without saying a word and force him to drink!
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but he was happy in his heart. Looking at the princes and ministers in front of him, he calculated in his heart that all the important figures of the Great Ming Dynasty had arrived.
Since they were all here, then he was also preparing to announce a big event, which was to confer this little girl in front of him as the princess of Great Ming!
Let Zhu Heng's child take back the glory he deserved!
However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that he did not even know his eldest granddaughter's name.
Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head and asked awkwardly,""My precious granddaughter, what's your name?”
The little loli blinked and raised her cute little head, saying proudly,""Father called me Nan Nan."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he rolled his eyes!
This little bastard, not only did he not take care of his precious granddaughter, he did not even give her a name!
No, if he was a bastard, wouldn't I be a bastard?
Pei, pei, pei, then call him a little bastard!
"Ahem." Zhu Yuanzhang coughed a few times and stood in front of the ministers with the little loli in his arms. Then, he said,"Today, we are here to announce something.”
"From today onwards, I will confer her the title of Princess Baoqing of the Great Ming Dynasty. I will reward her with one thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, a princess mansion, and two thousand bolts of silk and satin."
"Fengyang will be Princess Baoqing's fief, with five thousand households, a yearly salary of three thousand stones, and five thousand strings of cash!”
As soon as he said that, everyone present was stunned!
According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, those who were not conferred the title of princess would only be given 200 pieces of silk and 200 taels of silver. The princess who had been granted the title was also given a farm, with an annual income of 1,500 stones of grain and 2,000 strings of money.
However, Princess Bao Qing had received so many rewards, far more than the other princesses!
This exaggerated reward could completely show Zhu Yuanzhang's love and affection for her!
Such an action would naturally attract the dissatisfaction of the crowd. The censor's group of rabid dogs immediately wanted to jump out and stop them!
For the sake of his precious granddaughter, Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to go beyond the law and etiquette. In their eyes, this was simply nonsense. Even as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, he could not be so reckless!
After all, as a censor, his salary was not high and he did not have much money. His only goal was to contradict the emperor and leave his name in history!
However, just as they were about to take action, they were stopped by Hu Weiyong's eyes!
Hu Weiyong shook his head. His meaning was clearly not to cause trouble today. Everything that happened today could be discussed in the future.
He naturally had his own plans. Today, Empress Ma had just recovered from a serious illness, and with this granddaughter who had popped out of nowhere, Old Zhu was in high spirits!
Anyone who dared to touch his brows at this time would be asking for a beating!
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally saw this scene and could not help but sneer in his heart.
This Hu Weiyong was really good. He even had his influence among this group of stinking censors!
The next step, was he going to give orders on behalf of the Emperor?
However, Old Zhu's expression did not change at all. Instead, he said coldly,"Get lost!"
"We will take our leave!"
Hu Weiyong was the first to bow, and the ministers behind him followed suit. Then, a group of civil officials followed Hu Weiyong out of the Empress's Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and the other generals also saw Hu Weiyong's actions and couldn't help but frown.
"Then we'll leave first.”
Xu Da nodded slightly at Zhu Yuanzhang, greeted him, and left.
Lan Yu was also not as arrogant as before. She was unusually silent and left in a hurry.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, your son will take his leave!”
Then, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, and the other princes obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang and left the hall.
As the crowd retreated, the chaotic and noisy hall instantly returned to its usual tranquility.
At this moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the side of the bed and sat down. He sighed,"Sister, this Hu Weiyong is getting more and more powerful. Now, he's even crossing the line and touching the Imperial Censorate!”
He was also extremely vexed about the Prime Minister system.
However, this Prime Minister system had existed since ancient times and had been passed down for thousands of years. If he rashly abolished it, it would inevitably lead to fierce opposition and even lead to internal chaos in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he needed a suitable opportunity and reason!
When Empress Ma heard this, she nodded slightly.
As the Empress of Ming Dynasty, how could Hu Weiyong's actions escape her eyes!
Empress Ma was not only in charge of the harem, but she was also one of the few powerful women who dared to participate in politics. She was also very clear about the huge drawbacks of the Prime Minister system!
The power of the Prime Minister was simply too great. Not only was the imperial power divided, but even the daily actions of the Imperial Family would be restricted and affected by the Prime Minister's official group. Moreover, they would form cliques for personal gain, greatly affecting the stability of the Imperial Court!
All these reasons were disadvantageous to Da Ming!
Just as the two old men who were over fifty years old were troubled by the Prime Minister system,
The little loli, on the other hand, felt a little bored listening to it. She yawned, tears glistening in her eyes.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and could not help but mutter,
"Since Grandpa and Grandma think that the Prime Minister is too annoying, why don't we just cripple him?”
