Ming Dynasty: 100-year-old Heavenly Master, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Korean government.

Lu Ben, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came to visit the Korean Duke Li Shanchang.

During the last Beijing inspection, Lu Ben finally handed Zhu Yuanzhang the list of names. Although not all of them were provided by Li Shanchang, they also took care of the face of Li Shanchang, the eldest brother in Huaixi.

Although Li Shanchang had complaints about Lu Ben, he was now the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the prince’s father-in-law, and a relative of the state, so Li Shanchang warmly received Lu Ben.

Spring has begun, and flowers are blooming in the gardens of the Korean government.

Li Shanchang sat on a chair, basking in the sun and drinking tea contentedly.

“Old Xiangguo, you are living such a magical life.”Lu Ben bowed

“Hahaha, Mr. Lu, only after I became an official did I understand what it means to live a good life. Li Shanchang smiled and said,”In the past, we were arguing about this and that in the court. Why bother?””

“The old prime minister is very transparent.” Lu Ben smiled enthusiastically.

Li Shanchang made tea himself, and the two drank and chatted under the warm sunshine. After chatting for a while, Lu Ben finally got to the point:”The examination for local officials has begun. Come and ask the old Prime Minister for advice”

“Mr. Lu, I no longer care about court affairs.

Li Shanchang waved his hand and shook his head,”You are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so you must follow the rules.””

He cursed in his heart, you old fox, you came to ask me last time, but in the end you didn’t follow my instructions.

“Old Xiangguo, this is the list drawn up by my subordinates. I plan to transfer them to Beijing. Please take a look at it. Lu Ben smiled.

He handed the list in his hand to Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang took it over pretending not to care, and looked away hastily, secretly frightened, because most of the people on the list were from the Huaixi Party.

Even his younger brother Li Cunyi was transferred back.

Previously, his brother Li Cunyi was exiled because of his involvement in the Hu Weiyong case. He should have been executed, but the emperor did not kill Li Cunyi for Li Shanchang’s sake and just exiled him.

“this……”Li Shanchang frowned,”The emperor will not agree to recall Li Cunyi, right?”

“No, Mr. Li Cunyi has performed extremely well in the local area and is deeply loved by the local people. Lu Ben smiled and said,”He led the people to open up wasteland and manage rivers. His official reputation was very good.””

“Thank you, Mr. Lu.”Li Shanchang bowed

“Old Prime Minister, you’re welcome. Lu Ben smiled.

The two of them continued drinking tea and talking nonsense.

Lu Ben pretended to mention it unintentionally:”The position of the Crown Princess of the East Palace has been vacant for a long time, right?” Should we choose virtuous women from the prince’s family to enter the East Palace?”

Li Shanchang smiled at the corner of his mouth. He understood clearly that this was Lu Ben’s reason for coming. He just wanted his daughter to be the crown prince.

“Mr. Lu, in fact, there is no need to choose the crown princess again.”Li Shanchang smiled slightly and said,”The reason why the prince has not chosen a princess for so long is not only because he misses Concubine Chang, but also because he is used to being taken care of by his concubine.”

Lu Ben was secretly happy.

He came this time just to get the support of Li Shanchang. With his support, he also got the support of most of Huaixi.

It doesn’t need Li Shanchang to really do anything, as long as they don’t cause trouble, Lu Ben already had a plan.

After Lu Ben left, Li Shanchang looked at the pond and said to himself:”What a Lu Ben. There is also Zhu Huan, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, on the list. Isn’t that Zhu Liujiu’s only son? It seems that Lu Ben also fell in love with Zhu Liujiu”

……

The next day, morning.

Liu Sanwu, the Minister of Rites, reported that the position of Crown Princess of the East Palace was vacant and asked the Emperor to appoint the Crown Princess as soon as possible.

All the ministers agreed that it was indeed time to reestablish the crown princess.

Prince Zhu Biao lowered his head and remained silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat high on the throne and slowly glanced at the ministers. He did not expect that Liu Sanwu would bring this matter up.

Liu Sanwu is old and does not belong to the Huaixi Group or the Zhedong Group.

Moreover, Liu Sanwu was a generous man and did not set up a city government. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that he was sincerely serving the court.

After going to court, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Wenhua Hall and asked Zhu Biao what he meant.

“Biao’er, either choose another daughter from the Duke’s family, or… straighten the Lu family. Zhu Yuanzhang said simply,”Only these two methods, what do you think?””

Zhu Biao thought for a while and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang:”Just straighten the Lu family. I know her well and she is also suitable to be a crown princess. It may not be suitable to choose from the daughter of a duke. Besides, it may not be a good thing if the relative is too strong.”

The last words he said touched Zhu Yuanzhang’s heart.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to choose a prince’s daughter as the crown prince.

“Okay, then let’s make an order.”Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

……

“To be matched with a good and virtuous Yuanliang, one must first have a concubine, become the second wife, and be allowed to return to the Guan clan.

The eldest daughter of Lu Ben, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is the daughter of Xuan Mian, and has a family tradition of righteousness.

She has a gentle appearance, a quiet nature, and is praised by history and history.

In the Liubang Kingdom, the official position is Chuwei, and the minister is the court official.

However, the crown prince and concubine are responsible for preparing rituals and orders, and the master carries them out.

”

Mr. Lu was officially canonized as the Crown Princess.

Lu Ben was ecstatic, and his plan was being implemented step by step.

However, it was still far from what he wanted in the end, because Zhu Xiongying was still the eldest grandson of the emperor and the crown prince’s legitimate son.

“I hope that in my lifetime, I can pave the way for Yunwen.”Lu Ben said secretly.

At this time, in the East Palace,

Lu, who was already the princess, tried her best to suppress the ecstasy in her heart.

On the surface, she was still as calm as water.

“Then Zhu Xiongying had better go to practice and not come back. Lu thought to herself,”When Yun Wen’s position is confirmed, you will be a master of immortality, so what’s the use?” Still not allowed to listen to the emperor?”
