In the Fengtian Hall, a big banquet was held.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, and other princes sat at the same table.
Among them, Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the main table.
And sitting on the right hand seat of the main seat is the old Duke of Cao, Li Zhen.
This is the most noble seat in the entire banquet, second only to Zhu Yuanzhang.
He is sitting here and no one has any objections.
After all, this is the brother-in-law of the current emperor.
He is the emperor's only remaining relative of the same generation.
Not only that, Li Zhen’s biological son was Li Wenzhong, one of the founding fathers of the Six Kingdoms.
Li Wenzhong was awarded the title of Cao Guogong not only because he was Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew.
The credit is also real.
Otherwise, if you want to climb to such a position just relying on nepotism, you will really not be able to convince the public.
After Zhu Yuanzhang and these princes took their seats, the small firemen began to arrange the seats here.
Mei Yin was unexpectedly placed at the second table.
Before the banquet officially started, many people were busy looking for someone to talk to to build friendship.
Mei Yin sat here without moving, just waiting for the banquet to begin.
Anyway, he was forced to come here this time. He didn’t want to do anything else, he just wanted to wait for the meal.
Leave it to others to take advantage of the opportunity to make friends.
Anyway, he has no intention of attending court. He just wants to live his own life in Shuangshui Village, farming, feeding pigs, spending time with his wife, and raising children.
A few more things to guide Daming in a new direction, that's all.
As a person behind the scenes, I have no interest in standing in the front stage.
But just because Mei Yin doesn't go to other people to socialize, it doesn't mean that other people don't come to him.
Soon, several people came to him to talk one after another.
After all, now, except for some who are particularly resistant to Mei Yin or are idiots.
No one can underestimate Mei Yin anymore.
I feel that Mei Yin is just a little earl and consort, so there is no need to take him seriously.
Mei Yin is not the only emperor’s consort.
But now, the only one who can appear in this banquet is Mei Yin.
And even sat at the second table!
If nothing else, it can be seen from this alone that Mei Yin's status is not simple.
Besides, Mei Yin is not just a consort.
I still have a lot of business in my hands.
It seems that they are just farming and feeding pigs there, but in fact this is not the case.
As a prince-in-law, that is the real way to make money.
Many people can make a lot of money just by starting a lot of things.
In the future, a big industry will develop.
Although now, everyone knows that what he established has become the royal trading house of the Ming Dynasty.
However, if a little bit can leak out from between the fingers, it will be enough for them to eat.
Those who participated a little bit earned a lot of money.
Of course, at their level, making money is only the least important purpose.
More importantly, this method can be used to strengthen the relationship with the emperor.
All of a sudden, many people came to Mei Yin and talked with him.
Mei Yin did not keep a cold face or talk to others.
But not too enthusiastic.
Just a normal social interaction.
He is not afraid that anyone will be dissatisfied with him or offend others.
He doesn’t expect to have a relationship with them anyway.
Ask them.
Now, it is these people who are asking for help from him.
In this case, there is no need to be cautious everywhere.
After a while, the food started to be served.
These people also went back separately.
Mei Yin felt some peace in her ears.
This matter is really annoying.
Next time, I will discuss it with my father-in-law in advance to see if I can stop myself from participating in this matter.
In this situation, where can I be at home with my wife and children and have some food?
Plates of steaming meals were served by people from Guanglu Temple.
Zhu Yuanzhang was okay, he was a straightforward person, and he didn't say a few words like others before he started eating.
As a result, it took half an hour to start...
After serving two or three dishes, he said directly: "Everyone is hungry, right?
< br>
Don’t wait, just start eating! ”
After saying that, he asked everyone to use their chopsticks.
He took the lead in picking up the vegetables and put them into his mouth.
The emperor took the lead, and the people behind him started to use their chopsticks.< br>
Seeing this, Mei Yin could not help but secretly praise
This is truly my father-in-law, full of personality.
In this matter, just be straightforward.
At that moment, he started to use his chopsticks without any politeness.
Not to mention, the taste is pretty good.
I remembered some of the tea soups at Guanglu Temple that I had seen in later generations, and I used a jingle to describe how unpalatable the food at Guanglu Temple was.
Now that I have actually eaten it, I found that it is not that exaggerated.
The taste is pretty good.
It should be a grand occasion at this time, and Lao Zhu is still here.
The Ming Dynasty is still full of vitality in all aspects.
Many people dare not blatantly fish in troubled waters...
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, frequent toasts began.
Lao Zhu is also different from usual. Here he is happily chatting with the nobles and talking about many things.
Let’s get to know the past together.
It looks and the atmosphere is very good...
It was not until midnight that the banquet ended.
Many people drank too much.
Mei Yin is not bad.
Firstly, he has a heavy drinking capacity, and secondly, he is so indifferent as to dare to drink at him.
The new year has officially begun.
On the next day, Mei Yin brought them to the capital again. Princess Ningguo, who had stayed in the palace yesterday, began to pay New Year's greetings.
Needless to say, my natal family will definitely not be left behind.
Li Wenzhong’s house is also a must.
The Liu Bowen family will not be left behind either.
The other princes also paid their respects one by one.
He can really afford to go to the homes of these princes to pay New Year greetings.
Because Lao Zhu was too capable of giving birth to sons, his sons married all the daughters of the Duke's family except Li Shanchang and his nephew Li Wenzhong's family.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law, Mei Yin naturally has some kinship with these families.
You should take a walk.
At this time, Mei Yin had a house in the capital.
At first, Mei Yin planned to buy it by herself.
However, after Zhu Biao found out, he directly gave Mei Yin a house close to the palace for him to live in.
Of course it was nominally given by Zhu Biao, but Mei Yin later found out that it was Zhu Yuanzhang, his father-in-law, who had given the house to him in the name of Zhu Biao.
There are many rules in the palace, and it is really inconvenient for an adult man like Mei Yin to spend the night there.
Now I have a wife and children, a big family.
So, it is better to get a house in the city.
In this way, it will be much more convenient to have a place to stay when I go to the capital for business. In later generations, buying a house in the capital was unthinkable.
But now, it is completely different.
You can pick and buy.
He didn’t even need to pay, my father-in-law just gave it to me...
Don't mention this feeling, it's really good.
......
"The general has worked hard and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
However, the general please pay more attention to your health.
The body is the capital.
Only when your body is well, there will be more things to do next.
Only in this way can we better drive out the Tartars and restore China!
Drink the horse from the vast sea, seal the wolf to live in Xu!
The general is no better now than before.
As we get older, although we are at our peak in spring and autumn, we still need to pay attention to taking care of our body.
Especially when it comes to drinking, you need to pay more attention in the future.
Don’t drink if you can.
To be honest, wine is not a very good thing.
Drinking too much is harmful and useless..."
In the house of General Xu Da, Mei Yin looked at Xu Da and said loudly.
He came to Xu Da to pay New Year's greetings.
I met Xu Da and after saying some words, I looked at Xu Da and couldn't help but say a few more words.
He has also admired Xu Da for a long time.
It’s just that Xu Da has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years and rarely returns to the capital, so he doesn’t meet much.
In later generations, I heard a lot about him.
Now that we have arrived in Ming Dynasty, we know more about Xu Da.
This is a truly victorious general,
he only loses once in his life.
In expelling the Tartars, restoring China, and rebuilding the Han people, he made great military exploits.
If you were to rank the generals in ancient times, Xu Da would definitely be in the top ten.
But such a person died early due to an attack of back gangrene, and was unable to completely wipe out the Beiyuan Royal Court.
It is regrettable.
Not only Xu Da felt regretful, but he also felt regretful.
Xu Da is still the kind of person who is impeccable in terms of military achievements and personal character.
It is indeed a great pity that such a person dies so early.
It’s okay if he didn’t come to the Ming Dynasty. Now that he has arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he must do something.
It would be great if a huge tragedy could be avoided.
His advice to Xu Da to drink less was not without purpose.
At the Zhengdan dinner the day before yesterday, he saw with his own eyes how Xu Da, who looked elegant and like a Confucian general, drank.
It’s simply massive.
It's completely different from his appearance.
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Xu Da naturally nodded solemnly.
He said that he had also written it down and thanked Mei Yin for his kindness.
However, I didn’t take it seriously.
He is a person who has fought all the way.
He has been drinking for most of his life. How could he endure it if he was asked to drink less or not drink at all?
"Dad, did you hear that?
My second brother-in-law has said that you should not drink alcohol in the future."
A voice then sounded, with a hint of discipline. .
It was none other than Xu Miaoyun who returned to her mother's house today.
Xu Miaoyun's opening is much easier than Mei Yin's opening.
"Okay, okay, I will definitely keep these in my heart.
In the future, drink less, and if you can, don't drink!"
Xu Da drank it in one sip. This matter was agreed to,
He still listened to this big girl in his family.
This is one of the few people who can control Xu Da.
Mei Yin is here again. After talking to Xu Da, he left here with Princess Ningguo and went to another place...
While walking, Mei Yin was not there. Zhu Zhi was thinking about what kind of method should be adopted so that the Ming Dynasty could catch the Beiyuan Royal Court as early as possible.
Until now, the Ming Dynasty has not completely solved the problem of the Beiyuan Royal Court.
This means that the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty has not completely ended,
Although the Ming Dynasty had already conquered and occupied the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.
The end of this war has been announced.
Especially after the completion of the history of the Yuan Dynasty, it was even more conclusive.
But it is undeniable that as long as the Beiyuan Royal Court exists for one day, this matter will not be completely finished.
In history, it was not until the 20th year of Hongwu that the blue jade soldiers entered Yuerhai.
Breaking through the Beiyuan Royal Court can be considered as a complete end to this matter.
So now that he is here, can this be done in advance?
But how should we do it?
He didn't have a particularly good idea at the time.
From what he sees now, the most important thing about breaking the Beiyuan Royal Court is not that the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses are not strong enough or that the manpower is not enough.
But the Royal Court of Beiyuan is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is that it is very cunning and has been playing hide and seek on the grassland.
Their location is particularly secretive.
It’s hard to catch Daming here.
As long as their exact location can be found, it will show how elite the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses are now.
Breaking it is a matter of minutes!
It doesn’t take much effort!
After all, the current group are the ones who founded the country!
Those who emerged from the battle of blood and fire have been fully tempered.
The combat power is impressive.
So, there is only one thing that needs to be solved on his side now.
That is, in the next step, through some method, we can reasonably reach the exact location of the Beiyuan Royal Court.
As long as it can be found, the Beiyuan Royal Court can be declared destroyed.
While Mei Yin was thinking about this, Hu Weiyong had also begun to take action.
He dispatched his most capable confidants to secretly communicate with Japanese envoys.
I said a lot of things and fanned the flames.
"Have you seen His Majesty's attitude today?
The Emperor has always kept in mind the killing of the Ming envoy before you.
He said more than once that he must avenge himself!
Kill you all!
Male slaves, female servants, leave no one behind!”
Hu Weiyong's confidant spoke out to the leader of the Japanese envoy.
With some strong fascination.
In the past, the Japanese envoys might not have believed much in this.
But this time, after experiencing what happened, I believed it.
After all, this time, the courtesy they received was really not very good.
The distinction is too obvious.
It is difficult not to believe that what Hu Weiyong’s envoy said is true.
After some talk, I felt that Huo Gong was enough, and the people on Hu Weiyong's side left.
Up to this point, he had not directly stated his purpose.
Just one step at a time.
After all, this is a big deal and needs to be done slowly.
You can’t do it in one step...
...
Ten days later, some people from the Japanese country went to Shuangshui Village.
They heard that besides the capital, Shuangshui Village was the most worth seeing near the current capital.
A lot of new and good things flow out from there.
They are going to take a look...
