Chapter 239 I have something to say
"You look more and more like your father."
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched Zhu Yunwen's head.
Zhu Yunwen now looks more and more like the dead Zhu Biao.
After all, this child is his favorite child and has always been obedient.
Even if the Lu family is domineering, it is not the child's fault.
I have neglected him a little these days.
Mrs. Lu, who was standing by, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled secretly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's affection for Zhu Yunwen as grandfather-grandson was finally aroused by Zhu Biao's old things.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang getting sad, the ministers present also lowered their heads.
Among those who hold high positions today, how many are not disciples of Crown Prince Zhu Biao?
The position of Crown Prince Zhu Biao was recognized by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, his brothers and princes, and the ministers in the court.
This is the most stable crown prince in thousands of years.
"Grandpa Huang."
All the ministers were silent, only Zhu Ming raised his head and called out softly to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Ming.
Only by looking at that well-behaved face did I come back to my senses from the sadness of losing my son.
"Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Ming reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
Among all the people present, he was the only one who had no feelings for Zhu Biao, who had died before he arrived.
But he also felt sorry for what Zhu Yuanzhang had to go through at such an old age.
He lost his father in his childhood, his wife in his middle age, and his son in his old age.
This arrogant emperor was just a pitiful man under these sufferings.
"Grandpa Huang is fine, Grandpa Huang is fine."
Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Ming's hand and felt the warmth brought to him by his grandson.
Although Biao'er has passed away, he left behind such an obedient grandson, which is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.
He stood up, as if to prove that he had come out of his previous sadness, and said in a stern voice: "Today's celebration banquet is for our fourth son Zhu Di and the great general Lan Yu who defeated the eighteen tribes of the grassland in the north."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the ministers who were ready to listen to his lecture and shouted.
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and Yun Qi beside him immediately poured him a glass of wine.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He took the wine glass and drank it all in front of all the ministers.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, Yunqi took the initiative to pour a second glass of wine.
"Secondly, for our good grandson, we successfully quelled the Shanxi mutiny and returned to provide disaster relief."
Zhu Yuanzhang held up the wine glass that was filled again, tilted his head back, and drank it all.
"With such a talented person, our Ming Dynasty will surely be passed down for generations."
He shouted loudly, and when he was excited, he snatched the wine jug from Yun Qi's hand and poured himself a glass.
"The prince and the little prince are both talented and rely on your majesty's great blessing."
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang just coming up, he drank three cups in a row. The ministers bowed in unison, raised their glasses and cheered, then drank the wine in their glasses.
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing the officials praising his beloved son and grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed even louder.
"Grandpa Emperor, you can't drink any more."
Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Yuanzhang drinking so recklessly, but felt a little worried. He wondered if his old body could sustain such drinking, so he reminded him in a low voice.
"My dear grandson, I am really happy today."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ming's voice, he felt drunk, though not drunk at all. He held his hand and patted it.
He is really happy today.
His sons and grandsons have all grown up, and he can safely hand over the Ming Dynasty to them.
Today might be the happiest day of his life.
He had forgotten when was the last time he had so much fun.
Was it decades ago, when Chen Youliang was defeated in Poyang Lake?
Or when the young Ming King died and he took control of the Ming Dynasty.
Biaoer's spirit in heaven must also feel relieved.
"Zhu Ming, just let Uncle Zhu drink it."
Xu Miaojin sat opposite Zhu Ming, looked at the grandfather and grandson, chuckled, and began to persuade them.
Zhu Yuanzhang is so old and it’s rare for him to be happy, so just let him be.
"You see, Jin'er is still caring."
Seeing Xu Miaojin speaking for him, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed even more wildly.
This girl is more caring than boys.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so happy, Zhu Ming, who originally wanted to speak out to dissuade him, could only shake his head helplessly.
What Xu Miaojin said makes some sense. The old man is so old, he can do whatever makes him happy.
"Just this once."
Seeing Zhu Ming relax, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled a few times.
As the gifts sent by princes and ministers from all over the country were served one by one, the atmosphere of the celebration banquet became more and more enthusiastic.
Zhu Ming and Lu became more and more nervous.
They came to this celebration banquet with things on their mind.
But seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, none of them wanted to be the one to break the atmosphere and bring bad luck to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Ming and Lu looked at each other, trying their best to make faces, but still refused to stand up first.
"Princess!"
Zhu Ming suddenly stood up from his seat and toasted the Crown Princess with a glass of wine.
The sudden voice made Lu stand up as well.
"Crown Princess, do you have anything to say to Grandpa Huang?"
Zhu Ming looked at Lu, blinked, and reminded loudly.
You agreed to mention Zhu Yunhuan at the banquet, you can't go back on your word.
I have prepared Zhu Yunhuan’s letter of apology!
"This one……"
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment in embarrassment and glared at Zhu Ming fiercely.
It's not me who needs to save people. If you want to bring it up, you should bring it up. Do you have to make me bring it up?
I'm not the one the old man cares about the most.
"What do you have to say?"
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Lu and asked with a smile.
"that……"
Lu hesitated for a moment, raised her glass, and pulled Zhu Yunwen up beside her: "Yunwen and I wish your majesty good fortune as vast as the East Sea and longevity as great as the South Mountain."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to follow suit and toast Zhu Yuanzhang.
After giving the toast and drinking some wine, Lu finally found a way out.
Then he gave Zhu Ming a wicked smile and said, "Ming'er, I remember that you are looking for His Majesty again."
Zhu Ming didn't expect that Lu could turn the tables at this time. He was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"OK OK."
Just when Zhu Ming was thinking whether he should do the same as Lu and say a few words of blessing to fool the crowd.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already stood up and interrupted Zhu Ming.
Obviously he was getting a little impatient with the situation.
As soon as he stood up, all the civil and military officials and Zhu Ming and his men had no choice but to stand up as well.
Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled, took Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin's hands, and walked out from his seat.
Zhu Ming and Xu Miaojin suddenly became the center of attention at the banquet.
