Xu Huizu was even more confused.
The man from the palace brought so many good things for no reason. It sounds like a reward, but he has not done anything special and has not made any achievements recently. Why would Your Majesty give himself a reward?
Various thoughts appeared in Xu Huizu's mind, which he couldn't understand at all and felt very baffled.
But soon, he decided to ignore it and call the people in to ask. Wouldn't everything be clear?
"Please!"
Xu Huizu said quickly.
After waiting for a while, the head eunuch of the Pingren Department came in with the imperial edict and the rewards. After reading them out, he moved directly into the Xu family's warehouse.
"Father-in-law."
Xu Huizu stuffed a piece of gold into the eunuch and asked, "Excuse me, father-in-law, why did your majesty give me a reward? This makes me... dare not accept it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict did not specify what it was about.
The chief eunuch quickly stuffed the gold back and said he couldn't ask for anything, but he also confessed: "Your Majesty is very happy because your Majesty is so happy. She specially rewards Wei Guogong. Wei Guogong can accept it with confidence. As for Wei Guogong's things, I don't dare to ask for them." "
"Is your Majesty unhappy?"
"Miaojin is so happy?"
Xu Huizu suddenly raised his head, finally understood what happened, and immediately laughed out loud.
Xu Yingxu and the others were overjoyed when they heard that Xu Miaojin was so happy. They all felt that this surprise came too suddenly!
"Thank you, father-in-law, for informing me!"
Xu Huizu took out an extra piece of gold, continued to stuff it into the eunuch's hand, and said with a smile: "There is a happy event in the family, father-in-law, please don't refuse, haha..."
The eunuch then put the gold away and said with a happy smile: "Wei Guogong, it would be better to go into the palace and see your majesty."
Xu Huizu said: "This is what should be done. I will enter the palace with my father-in-law. In addition... daughter-in-law, you also enter the palace and go to see Miao Jin on my behalf. This is a great event for our Xu family. Come out quickly!"
On such an ordinary morning, Xu's house, like the palace, was filled with a festive atmosphere.
It’s not the Chinese New Year yet, but the festive atmosphere is much stronger than during the Chinese New Year.
Xu Huizu left with the chief eunuch of the Pingren Department. After entering the palace, he saw Lao Zhu in Wenhua Pavilion who was preparing to process the memorial. He knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. At the same time, he also brought news to the officials of Wenhua Pavilion that Ming Dynasty would soon have another order. A great-grandson has been added to the family.
"Get up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Xu Huizu's attitude and said: "God's virtue is in the sky. I will be very happy to learn about this."
Xu Huizu said: "It's all thanks to His Majesty's blessing. I plan to go to worship my ancestors later and tell my father about this."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said with a smile: "What blessing can we have? You will be really blessed if you take charge of the Central Military Governor's Mansion. From now on, our good grandson will still depend on you."
When Xu Huizu heard this, he kowtowed again and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to my trust."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "You and Mu Sheng are both members of the Ming Dynasty. After a while, we will tell Mu Sheng to return to Beijing. You must get closer to each other."
Xu Huizu understood the meaning of this closeness.
Even if he continues to establish Mu Yuanjun's position, he also warns him not to let Xu Miaojin compete with Mu Yuanjun.
The position of the main palace is unshakable.
Unless Mu Yuanjun dies, Xu Miaojin will have a chance to take over.
The intrigues in the harem are something that every emperor does not want to see.
Zhu Yuanzhang had to settle this matter while he was still alive. Among the concubines around his good grandson, they were the most noble ones. The main reason for granting the marriage at that time was to find a support for his good grandson.
After all, the good grandson is just an illegitimate son of Biao'er.
There's just so much to consider.
"I understand."
Xu Huizu put his forehead on the ground and assured: "The relationship and friendship between the Xu family and the Mu family have always been very good."
Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction: "Okay, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only then did Xu Huizu dare to get up.
Zhu Yuanzhang left him in Wenhua Pavilion and chatted for a while before letting him leave.
Most of the things we talked about were related to Xu Da.
Xu Da died early, and Lao Zhu now misses the old man more and more as he gets older.
——
The news that Xu Miaojin was pregnant was officially spread to the outside world.
Now that more and more people know about it, the ministers in the DPRK will inevitably set off another wave of discussion. Some ministers who like to flatter themselves will once again send gifts to the East Palace.
Zhu Xuan acted as if he couldn't see this.
At this time, Zhu Ji and Zhu Zhen arrived at Zhu Di's house again.
They haven't figured out the other members of the vassal alliance yet. The other brothers are very tight-lipped and refuse to say anything. They don't take the initiative to look for Zhu Di. Recently, they can't find Yao Guangxiao.
At present, they only know the three of them.
"Fourth brother!"
After they entered, they first greeted them warmly.
Zhu Di said: "Why are you here again?"
Zhu Xi smiled and said: "When my younger brother comes back, of course he has to visit his fourth brother."
Among the princes of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di is the head of the princes, but he is just a commoner. As the head of the princes, he actually has no title or status.
Zhu Di said: "It's cold outside. Come in! Miaoyun, prepare the charcoal stove and bring some wine over to warm it up."
Zhu Gaochi heard the noise outside and walked out. When he saw the fifth uncle and sixth uncle coming again, he felt a little unhappy. Knowing that these two uncles were people with evil intentions, he took the initiative and said: "Dad, I Come on! Mom, go and take a rest."
Xu Miaoyun saw it and went to help Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Zhen said enviously: "Fourth brother, your Gao Chi is really filial, unlike those brats in my family who often make me unable to resist and want to hang them up and whip them."
Zhu Di shook his head and said: "It's only because you are here that the boss behaves so well. Do you believe that you will return to your original form immediately after you leave?"
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
Forget it, it's no secret that he doesn't like his father, and he won't force anything.
Zhu Di's favorite is Zhu Gaoxu.
"Of course I don't believe it!"
Zhu Zhen said.
They quickly arrived in the study.
When the charcoal stove came in, all the doors and windows in the study were closed except for a ventilation hole to prevent the charcoal from burning everyone.
I don't know if there are any Jin Yiwei eavesdropping outside, but for them, eavesdropping is just eavesdropping. It doesn't matter. We don't plan to talk about anything particularly sensitive today, so there is no need to write or draw.
"Fourth brother, let me toast you."
Zhu Xi raised his glass first.
"OK!"
Zhu Di responded.
After drinking a little wine, they actually wanted to ask about the feudal alliance, but they didn't dare to ask.
"I just heard that there will be another great-grandson of the emperor in the East Palace."
Zhu Ju laughed and continued: "We are preparing to have another grandnephew by our side."
Zhu Di shook his head and said: "I'm just a commoner. It's better to talk less about things in the palace. Let's not talk about this. You guys can talk about the interesting things that happened in the fief, and chat and drink at the same time. Wouldn't it be good to drink with it?" "
He did not dare to discuss any public opinion about the palace.
You must know that the previous few times, Zhu Xuan came to test him, which almost scared him out of his courage. He gradually realized that Jin Yiwei's monitoring of him was still very powerful.
