Zhu Biao had mobilized 1,000 condemned prisoners, and such a huge commotion could not be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could ask, Zhu Biao went to explain to him.
Zhu Biao didn't tell Zhu Yuanzhang what it was for.
He only told Zhu Yuanzhang that when the time was right, he would definitely give Zhu Yuanzhang a surprise.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked a few more times, but Zhu Biao refused to give in.
She could only complain to Ma Xiuying that the child was getting older and had his own secrets.
If Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to know, he could send someone to Zhu Biao's residence to take a look.
Zhu Biao couldn't stop him.
However, this was not something that Zhu Yuanzhang could do. Zhu Yuanzhang could only wait expectantly for the opportunity that Zhu Biao had mentioned.
As they waited, Zhu Biao's sixth birthday came.
Eleven days after Zhu Biao's birthday.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang's 33rd birthday.
All the officials gathered at the Duke Wu Residence. For a moment, the Duke Wu Residence was bustling with noise and excitement.
In the prince's manor.
"Is everything ready?"
Hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhou Zong hurriedly bowed.
"Replying to the prince, I have already prepared everything according to your instructions.”
"Alright."
Zhu Biao nodded and led Zhou Zong out of the Prince's Mansion. They circled around and arrived at Duke Wu's Mansion.
Although he usually went directly to Ma Xiuying's place from the back door of the Crown Prince's residence, he was still a little worried.
However, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday, so it was better for him to go back from the front.
"Prince."
"Prince."
Everyone bowed when they saw Zhu Biao.
"Greetings, my lords."
Zhu Biao returned the greeting politely.
Zhu Biao walked to Song Lian's side and bowed respectfully.
"Teacher."
"The prince is here."
When Song Lian saw Zhu Biao bow to him, a proud expression appeared on his face.
This disciple of his was smart, studious, and humble.
It made him extremely proud.
Zhu Biao also liked Song Lian very much. In the past year and a half, he had gotten along well with Song Lian and learned a lot from him.
"Big brother!"
Zhu Biao and Song Lian were talking about what they had learned yesterday when Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di rushed to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Di rushed forward and hugged Zhu Biao's thigh.
Zhu Xiong then hugged Zhu Biao's other leg.
Seeing that Zhu Xiong and the others had arrived, everyone also bowed to the three of them.
Facing Zhu Biao's apologetic gaze, Song Lian only smiled magnanimously.
Seeing the four brothers being so intimate, the people waiting in Duke Wu's Mansion to congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang also had a kind look on their faces.
Among the five sons of the Duke of Wu, except for Zhu Biao who was very mysterious, the fifth son Zhu Xi was born less than two months ago.
Five-year-old Zhu Xi.
Three-year-old Zhu Xi.
Even Zhu Di, who was just over a year old.
They were all good children who listened to Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang had many sons. With a fairy like Zhu Biao, the other sons also trusted Zhu Biao.
Why would they worry that Zhu Yuanzhang would not succeed?
If Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded, wouldn't they also ascend to heaven?
Therefore, the smiles on everyone's faces were extremely sincere.
"Big brother, what gift did you prepare for father?”
Zhu Xi was envious when he saw Zhu Di and Zhu Xi hanging on Zhu Biao's legs.
However, he had already started studying and was a big child. It was not appropriate to do so.
He could only ask questions to attract Zhu Biao's attention.
"It's a secret."
"Big brother, big brother, I want to play with you tomorrow. I want to play on the slide.”
"Big brother, I still want to hear your story.”
"Big Brother, I really don't want to study. It's so boring.”
For a moment, the three of them surrounded Zhu Biao and chattered non-stop.
Zhu Biao stood where he was, listening to his three brothers talking to him.
He would smile and reply from time to time.
"Duke Wu has arrived."
Not long after, the guard reported, and everyone quieted down. They bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying who were slowly walking over.
"Greetings, Duke Wu and his wife.”
Everyone's voices were in unison.
Zhu Biao and the other two bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.
"Greetings, Father and Mother."
"Yes, get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the seat of honor and waved at Zhu Biao.
"Biao Er, come and sit beside us.”
"Yes."
Zhu Biao heard this and walked forward to sit beside Zhu Yuanzhang.
Everyone was also not surprised.
At all banquets, as long as Zhu Biao appeared, he would sit on Zhu Yuanzhang's right.
As for Zhu Yuanzhang's left, it was Ma Xiuying.
Zhu Xi, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Di sat in the front seats.
As for the one-year-old Zhu Xi, she was in Ma Xiuying's arms, smiling foolishly at Zhu Biao.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. It's my birthday today, so I invite everyone to drink this cup!”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his cup to the ministers below and drank a cup of wine.
Everyone hurriedly raised their glasses and drank the wine.
Zhu Yuanzhang banned alcohol. Usually, people would at most use tea instead of wine. However, today was Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday, so of course, there was real wine at the birthday banquet.
"Today is your birthday. Everything I, Xu Da, have was given by you. I, Xu Da, wish you success today.”
Xu Da was the first to stand up and toast.
Hearing Xu Da's words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely comfortable. He smiled and drank Xu Da's wine.
After Xu Da sat down, everyone began to toast Zhu Yuanzhang and offer their gifts.
Of course, the gifts they gave to Zhu Yuanzhang were not something that would waste money and manpower.
All the officials under Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he hated corrupt officials the most. If anyone gave him any precious treasures, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably cut off his head on the spot.
Zhu Biao saw that everyone was almost done with their gifts, so he left his seat and walked to Zhu Yuanzhang to bow.
"Your son, Zhu Biao, has a gift today to wish father a happy birthday.”
Zhu Yuanzhang and the other ministers turned to look at Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were especially bright.
Zhu Yuanzhang already knew that Zhu Biao had been very busy in the prince's manor for nearly a year.
With Zhu Biao's personality, he was probably a great thing.
He had asked Zhu Biao more than ten times, but Zhu Biao kept saying that the time was not ripe.
Now it seemed like the time was ripe?
"What is it? Biao Er, quickly bring it up for us to take a good look.”
"Yes." Zhu Biao turned around and nodded at Zhou Zong.
Zhou Zong walked forward and handed a small jade test tube to Zhu Biao.
As for why the test tube was made of jade and not glass.
Of course, it was because Zhu Biao could not make glass now.
"Father, please take a look. This is it."
Zhu Biao raised the test tube high up in the air. Everyone stared at the odd-shaped jade that they couldn't see clearly.
"What is this thing and what is its use?”
"This item is nameless. Father, please give it a name.”
"As for its use…"
Zhu Yuanzhang received the booklet handed over by Zhou Zong and replied loudly.
"This item can prevent smalllessness, and can also be used to treat those infected with it. Your son has already injected nearly 2,000 death row prisoners within half a year, and only three people have died from smalllessness.”
