Father can be an enemy to the country

According to tradition, the party that captures the flag must present the flag to the emperor, who then declares victory.

Xie Yan was a good man, so he asked the fourth child to hold the flag, while the second child and another small flag officer protected the flag and went up to the general point.

Seeing his two sons, Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he pressed his chin with his hand and pretended to be reserved: "Let the general accept the flag on my behalf."

"Yes." After hearing this, Xu Da stood up with his fists clasped and faced the two His Highnesses.

The two of them knelt on one knee. Zhu Di raised the battle flag in his hand and said excitedly: "Present the flag to the general!"

"Well done." Xu Da took the battle flag with both hands with a solemn expression, then waved it a few times towards the Yulin Guards in the audience, announcing that victory belonged to the Yulin Guards!

The cheers of Habayashi Wei resounded throughout the school grounds.

Zhu took the opportunity to walk to Zhu Di, patted his shoulder with a smile and said: "I remember you, your name is Hong Ji, right?"

"..." Zhu Di glared at Lao San, but in front of his father and the general, how could he dare to make a mistake? He could only say in a muffled voice: "Yes."

"Sure enough, I got the right person." Zhu Xiaohe said, "Young man, please keep up your efforts."

"Yes..." Zhu Di gritted his teeth.

On the way back, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Xu Da to ride in the same carriage with him.

He sat on the soft couch without formality and asked Xu Da proudly: "Tiande, do you see that the fourth child has made progress?"

"His Royal Highness King Yan has indeed grown a lot and become more stable. It's really a three-day separation and I'm so impressed." Xu Da praised.

"The fourth father-in-law has passed this test?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Didn't I agree with what the emperor said from the beginning?" Xu Da said with a bitter smile.

"You are so unwilling that you shed tears." Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to rub his eyes and curled his lips and said: "Our general is a tough man. How wronged must he be before he sheds tears?"

"Your Majesty has misunderstood. When a father thinks about his daughter getting married, it is like a knife cutting into his heart." Xu Da explained helplessly: "This has nothing to do with being dissatisfied with the son-in-law."

"Yes, we did misunderstood at that time. We thought you were so dissatisfied with our fourth child." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said with a sad expression: "Now we know, because we are also going to marry our daughter, and this feeling is really uncomfortable. how."

"Oh?" Xu Daxin said, fortunately my son is still young. Then he reassured and said, "I wonder which family the consort is from?"

"..." Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and then Fang slowly said: "I haven't found someone yet."

"Haha, I wonder which family has the blessing of Princess Shang." Xu Da responded smoothly, but from the emperor's moment of silence, he noticed something strange.

It's like I'm a little embarrassed to say it...

"It's a pity that your son is still young, otherwise it would be great if we could kiss each other." Zhu Yuanzhang quickly returned to normal and teased Xu Da.

"But it's not a big problem. Our daughter has many children. We will continue to get married in a few years."

"It's better to settle Prince Yan's marriage first..." Xu Da is so sweaty that he can't just catch the wool from a sheep.

"Well, take advantage of your coming back this time and seize the time to do it." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "In the twelfth lunar month, there are three matchmakers and six appointments. How about a big wedding in the first month?"

"It all depends on the emperor's arrangements." When Xu Da came back this time, he originally wanted to send his daughter off to get married.

"We are not only your future in-laws, we are also your eldest brother. We have to worry about you." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Last time you said that after the death of your younger siblings, your eldest daughter would take care of the whole family. We were very upset after hearing this. What a taste.

"After your eldest daughter got married, the first family of the great hero still didn't have a woman in charge?" Boss Zhu said, winking at Xu Da:

"As a brother, I have to worry about you and rewind your string."

"Your Majesty, that's not necessary." Xu Da waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "I have been in the army for most of the year, and it doesn't make much difference whether I have a woman or not."

"Don't refuse in a hurry. Let's listen to who we choose for you." Zhu Yuanzhang said with an expression that every man understands:

"She is Xie Zaixing's little daughter. She is eighteen years old and as beautiful as a flower."

"Niece Cui'e..." Xu Da's throat trembled and he seemed to have swallowed his saliva. Then he said with a blush on his face because of his own thoughts:

"I am already forty-five, how can I marry a girl the same size as my daughter? Besides, I am still a junior."

"You are not her relative, so what kind of junior and elder are you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a nonchalant smile: "The dignified Duke of Wei can't find a widow for his marriage, right? Aren't all the unmarried eldest girls the same age as Cui'e? And marrying If she says it, we have the final say, so you don’t need a lot of Lao Taishan.”

~~

Xie Zaixing was also Zhu Yuanzhang's old brother. At first, he was only ranked below Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Hu Dahai. Zhu Yuanzhang also asked his nephew Zhu Wenzheng to marry his eldest daughter, so he was as close as a family.

But later Xie Zaixing surrendered to Zhang Shicheng. After being defeated and captured by Li Wenzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang chopped off his head, but did not embarrass his family and raised his children.

I just didn't expect that the little girl I raised would be put to such a use...

Xu Da naturally refused at first, but he had seen Cui'e before, and she was so pretty. Therefore, the general has been arrogant for a while, but in the end it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order and he has to do it reluctantly.

"Hahaha, okay." Seeing that he agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

"Your Majesty, you are such a mandarin duck. Where can I put my old face..." Xu Da blushed and said, "I am so embarrassed."

"What's there to be shy about? Let me ask you, which woman in the world doesn't want to be the wife of Duke Wei? This is Cui'e's great blessing." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile:

"Li Shanchang even took in a concubine with a room of sixteen people this year. You are just too honest."

"My lord, I'm not a womanizer..." Xu Dagang wanted to say that he was a womanizer, but when the words came to his lips, he really had no shame to continue.

"Nonsense, how can a real man not be lewd?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "When we become in-laws, we will drink your wedding wine later."

As he spoke, the chariot stopped steadily. Boss Zhu said to Xu Da: "Brother Xian, you are home."

"This..." Xu Da's intuition was that something was not right. His home was near the Confucius Temple, and the royal chariot should be south of the inner bridge now.

When I got down to the royal chariot and took a look, I saw a plaque saying 'Given to the State of Wei' hanging on the red lacquer door of the magnificent mansion in front of me.

"This, isn't this the original Prince Wu's Mansion?" Xu Da was stunned.

"That's right, this is our old house." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a grin: "Tiande has worked hard and made great achievements, but there is not a decent mansion in Beijing. The old house you live in now is old and small, and it is not as good as the Ming Dynasty's first hero. It's disproportionate.

"Originally, we were supposed to build a new big house for you. But the court didn't have the money. Then we thought about it. After we moved into the palace, this palace has been idle. It would be better to give it to you directly, which would also save us the trouble. An expense.”
