Lan Yu didn't react, so she pulled her face out of the rice bowl with great effort, and looked at Lao Zhu with an aggrieved look.
"Your Majesty, me, what's wrong with me?"
Lao Zhu, you hesitated for a moment before asking, and then you said firmly,
"Look at what you're eating. You can eat all the food on the table. Should we eat it or not?"
Lan Yu held the bowl in her hand, looking pitiful. She didn't know whether she should eat it or not.
He whispered softly,
"Didn't you just tell me to eat more?"
"you!"
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang, then looked at Lan Yu with a smile on her face,
greeted,
"Eat! Eat more!
I asked the imperial kitchen to do it again. I must be full today. "
After Lan Yu heard what Empress Ma said, she ignored Zhu Yuanzhang, wiped the rice from her face, stuffed it into her mouth, and began to eat again.
Even Lan Yu knows that the person who really has the final say in the Ming Dynasty, besides Zhu Xiongying, is Queen Ma.
As for Your Majesty?
He's just an emperor on the bright side.
People at the table ate in a hurry and cleaned up the food.
"belch!"
Lan Yu slumped on the chair holding her stomach and burped loudly. Zhu Yuanzhang sat next to Lan Yu, frowning and covering his nose.
I couldn’t help but complain,
"There's no garlic in today's food. What does it taste like in your mouth?"
Lan Yu said,
"Your Majesty, I had green onions rolled with garlic this morning."
"Huh? Green onions rolled in garlic?!"
Lao Zhu was stunned. It was the first time he heard that there was such a way to eat it.
Lan Yu nodded, as if it was a matter of course,
"Yes, Changfu eats this way, it's delicious.
Your Majesty, please give it a try when you have time. "
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his face,
Changfu, that's okay.
Zhu Yuanzhang is now extremely speechless towards Lan Yu, but there is nothing he can do to deal with him. Lan Yu is now backed by his sister and eldest grandson. These two people can completely crush Lao Zhu.
Muchun was so frightened that he put his hands on his knees and did not dare to move.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Muchun, and the stiff lines on his face softened a lot.
asked with a smile,
"Is your dad okay?"
Muchun then remembered that he had not reported the situation in Yunnan yet, and quickly replied,
"Grandpa Huang, everything is fine.
The reform of the land-returning system has also gone smoothly. Now all the people in Yunnan have registered as household registrations, and the government has begun to allocate farmland for farming. "
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard with satisfaction. As old Zhu's family got older, they all had a common feature. They had thick and beautiful beards. Zhu Yuanzhang now also grew a beard and looked more heroic.
It's not easy to do the job of changing one's native land to return to being a local, but Lao Zhu is still very relieved when Mu Ying works. Just because it's hard doesn't mean that he can't do it.
As a leader, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care how difficult it is for you to do it. As long as he sees the final result, if the result is good, the whole process will be insignificant.
And if the result is not good, no matter how good you are in the process, it will be wiped out.
Lao Zhu's eyes flashed slightly and he asked,
"Is it still safe over there in Annan?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, the atmosphere in the East Palace became quiet.
Lan Yu raised her eyes to look at Muchun, while Queen Ma on the other side didn't look at her, but she couldn't help but tremble.
Annan was a serious border problem for the Central Plains dynasties. In the past dynasties, rebellions and rebellions in this place were suppressed, and there was no way to cure the root cause.
Moreover, the former Yuan forces openly rebelled with the Duan family in Dali. Zhu Yuanzhang sent Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Mu Ying to pacify Yunnan, but the former Yuan forces were not completely wiped out.
Instead, they withdrew into the Annan region and supported a Luchuan regime in the surrounding areas.
The power of the Yuan Dynasty was not deadlocked. Lao Zhu established the Ming Dynasty and drove out the Yuan people in the Central Plains. However, the Yuan people spread like a plague in the surrounding areas.
The Yuan people couldn't defeat the Ming Dynasty, so they couldn't take care of the countries around you? As long as it disperses around, it will basically be a sweep.
What Lao Zhu is worried about is that the surrounding ethnic minorities will be incited by the Yuan people and directly rebel.
Now is the time when the Ming Dynasty is at its weakest. All the troops are in the north. It is also the time when the old and new emperors are handing over power. Lao Zhu does not want his eldest grandson to be in any hidden danger.
Muchun's expression was calm, and his words were somewhat relaxed.
said,
"Grandpa Huang, dad has been paying attention to the situation in Annan. They have not made any changes in recent years.
Two years after the reform began, they wanted to incite the local ethnic minorities to rebel, but their father quickly suppressed them, and then they stopped.
Now, the people of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan have benefited. No matter how interested people want to stir up trouble, it will be difficult to gather people. "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression softened a lot.
Nodding and saying,
"Yes, then you should pay more attention to Annan's movements. Those monkeys are very clever."
Having said that, Lao Zhu was mostly relieved.
Muying's main thing is to be stable. I guess there must be some evil wind on Annan's side, and he should not dare to provoke Daming.
Queen Ma nodded slightly, and Lan Yu also relaxed a lot.
After Zhu Yuanzhang put down his affairs in Yunnan, he turned to look at Lan Yu with an expression that showed Lan Yu was not bothered by others.
He frowned and asked,
"What are you doing here in broad daylight?"
Lan Yu was also thick-skinned, and directly filtered out Zhu Yuanzhang's disgusted eyes.
He opened his mouth and said,
"Your Majesty, I am here to propose a marriage to Chang Mao."
"What the hell?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he was told this, and turned to look at Queen Ma subconsciously. Queen Ma frowned when she heard this, and she instantly figured out the connection.
Queen Ma explained,
"Chongba, Chang Mao is not young anymore. There is no suitable child here. We can't let Chang Mao be a bachelor for the rest of his life."
The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the less he understood.
asked,
"Why is there no one who matches me..."
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, his words stopped suddenly, his eyes slowly widened, and then he glanced at Queen Ma secretly, and happened to catch Queen Ma's meaningful eyes.
yes! There is indeed no match!
There is such a good noble girl, no matter her age, she must keep it for her eldest grandson!
How can anyone with enough spare time marry Chang Mao?
How old are you already booked for?
Xu Dashan's daughter was still in her infancy, and Lao Zhu had reserved it for her eldest grandson in advance. It was like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, leaving nothing for others.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lan Yu with complicated eyes, while Lan Yu looked at Lao Zhu with bright eyes.
"Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"
"Um...um..."
Lao Zhu hesitated for a long time, looked at Lan Yu, then at Muchun, and finally at Queen Ma.
It is impossible for Lao Zhu to ignore Chang Mao's matter. Not to mention how much contribution Chang Yuchun made to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu didn't even reward him, so he died young.
Lao Zhu has always been in debt to the Chang family, otherwise he would not be able to strongly support the prince in making Chang his concubine.
In addition, Chang Mansion is the eldest grandson's natal family, and Chang Mao cannot marry a wife, so Lao Zhu will definitely be embarrassed as well.
