In the early morning of the next day, Xu Da, who had sobered up, just wanted to find trouble with Zhao Changge, but found that Zhao Changge had been summoned to the palace early. This made Xu Da helpless and could only hold it in his heart.

While eating breakfast, Xu Da glanced at Xu Miaojin, Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou who were sitting at the same table, and then lowered his head to eat in silence.

Xu Miaojin put her chopsticks in her mouth with some guilt, glanced secretly at Xu Da with a straight face, and then diligently pushed the side dishes on the table in front of Xu Da.

"Dad, this tastes so good, try it."

Xu Da took a deep breath, then put down the chopsticks in his hand and stared at Xu Miaojin, making Xu Miaojin's heart skip a beat.

"Girl, I heard from Uncle Fu that during the period when Dad was not at home, did you and that boy go to the next life?"

Xu Miaojin lowered her head and nodded gently.

Xu Da's anger rose sharply.

"Do you still know that you are from a girl's family? If you follow him without any name or status, do you still want the face of the Duke of Wei?"

Xu Miaojin was so frightened that she dared not speak. Normally, Xu Da was not too harsh on his family members, especially his daughter, whom he doted on. However, Xu Da still cared about some things.

Seeing that Xu Miaojin was silent, Xu Da looked at Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou who were standing aside.

"I asked you to take good care of the house before I left. Is this how you look at it? Don't you know how to stop your sister from eating and living with a man?"

Xu Zengshou raised his head cautiously: "But when Changge lived in our house, didn't you also acquiesce?"

"Can it be the same? There are people watching in our house, and they can't do anything extraordinary!" After saying that, Xu Da looked at Xu Miaojin in a panic: "You and that kid will be in the future, but... Did you do anything out of the ordinary?"

Xu Miaojin's face turned extremely red: "Dad, what are you talking about? My daughter is not such a shameless person."

After hearing this answer, Xu Da felt slightly relieved.

Seeing that his daughter was a little unhappy, Xu Da touched the beard on his face and said in a gentle tone: "Dad knows that your heart has been set on that boy for a long time, and dad also knows that that boy deserves it." Fuck you. But after all, you have no name or status now, and this kid has no explanation for this for so long. Dad is just worried that that guy will be sorry for you in the future. Dad is a man and knows what men are thinking. "

"Dad, Changge knows it well. In the future, he will not force me to do things I don't like. As for my status, my daughter never cares about that."

Xu Da slammed the table hard: "You are my Xu Da's daughter, how can you have no name or status! Does that kid have other ideas? Tell dad, don't look at this kid now as a national master, but Dad will not spoil him, even if the Supreme Emperor likes him, Dad will not give in."

Xu Miaojin hurriedly took Xu Da's hand: "Dad, it's not what you think. Chang Ge has already said that I am still too young now and will not be old enough to get married in future generations. As long as you wait until I am older, When the time comes, he will definitely marry me."

With such a promise, Xu Da's angry heart was slightly appeased.

"Those are the rules of future generations, the rules of our Ming Dynasty. You can get married long ago at your age."

Xu Zengshou timidly said from the side: "Dad, you have forgotten that Changge said before that a woman getting married too early and having children is a burden on her body. My sister getting married later shows that Changge attaches great importance to her sister."

Xu Da glanced at Xu Zengshou dissatisfied: "Do you have the right to speak here?"

Xu Zengshou shrank his neck angrily and did not dare to talk any more.

Xu Da rubbed it gently with his hands: "It's okay if we don't get married. Then you get engaged first."

"Date... get engaged?" Xu Miaojin looked at Xu Da shyly: "Dad, don't worry, it's not like your daughter can't get married."

"Hmph, your heart has long been tied to that kid. Dad is doing this for your own good. Let's settle the status first. When you reach the age of getting married in the future, I'll see what excuses the kid has. When the time comes, If I continue to shirk it, I will sacrifice my body to make that guy look good."

Xu Miaojin didn't dare to say anything when she saw Xu Da's persistence. After all, at this time, her parents' attitude towards marriage still prevailed.

At this time, Zhao Changge, who was talked about by Xu Da, was in the palace. Also present were Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Zhu Biao, Prince Zhu Xiongying, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan, and South Korean Duke Li Shanchang and the six ministers.

The people present were all very important people in Hongwu. This time it was considered a small court meeting, but the protagonist was not these ministers, but the prince Zhu Xiongying.

Everyone knows that Zhu Xiongying went to study with the national master Zhao Changge in later generations. As long as he learned something, no one knew whether it would have any effect. This time, it was also at Zhu Xiongying's own request. He wanted to have a formal contest with Zhu Biao. It’s true, the identities of both parties are not father and son, but monarch and minister.

In order to show that he attached great importance to this performance, Zhu Biao was not only accompanied by historians to record the performance, but also invited important ministers of the court. Zhu Biao also hoped to see what this son who had always made him worry-free would do to him when he returned from later generations. What a surprise.

"Prince, tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhu Xiongying stood up and saluted Zhu Biao, and then said seriously: "Back to Your Majesty, I read the memorial sent by Your Majesty last night and got a general understanding of the current trends in the court. Combined with what I have seen and heard in later generations, I have A few ideas.”

Zhu Biao sat up straight, nodded and said, "Let's talk about it."

"First of all, it is about Hongwu College. Your Majesty has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to establish Hongwu College in the suburbs of Beijing. It has officially started enrolling students. Your Majesty wants to regard Hongwu College as a benchmark for the Ming Dynasty and the first institution of higher learning in the Ming Dynasty. The content inside Most of them are the essence of the knowledge of later generations. Your Majesty wants the students of Ming Dynasty to learn the knowledge of later generations as soon as possible, but the span of hundreds of years cannot be easily caught up in one generation. Besides, the books in the academy are too complicated. It is too complicated for me, Hongwu, to understand so much knowledge, so I suggest that we select what Ming Dynasty needs most at present and then specialize in this aspect. This is the most beneficial to the development of Ming Dynasty."

After Zhu Biao heard this, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he thought for a long time before asking: "Then what do you think we, Ming, need to specialize in most now?"

Although Zhu Xiongying is young, he doesn't act like a child at all. When faced with Zhu Biao's question, he confidently said: "Electricity."

"Electricity?" Zhu Biao tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and then asked: "Tell me why you chose electricity."

"Because in future generations, everyone's life will be inseparable from electricity, so once the power generation problem is solved, the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes."

After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, the scene was silent for a long time. After a while, Zhu Biao raised his head and said: "I don't know as much about future generations as you do. You are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future heir to the Ming Dynasty. I am willing to believe in your choice. Although you are still young, this country will be handed over to you sooner or later. Since this is your answer, I will do my best to support you. From now on, you must remember that you are the prince, and your words One line represents many people, and you are not allowed to try and make mistakes, so you must think twice before making any decision.”

Zhu Xiongying suddenly felt that he had a lot of inexplicable responsibilities on his shoulders, but he was not afraid at all. The eyes he looked at Zhu Biao were full of motivation and confidence.
