Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Bing followed Old Tang in the yard, and the other attendants were entertained by other village guests.

At this moment, Zhu Tao was sipping tea and reading a book, when he saw Zhu Yan coming, he quickly got up to say hello.

After Zhu Yan finished introducing himself, Zhu Tao's attitude naturally became more cordial.

"It turned out to be the third cousin. You are doing business outside. We brothers have always lost closeness. Since I came here this time, I must treat you well."

As he spoke, he ordered Old Tang to prepare all the Yuanyang hot pot and red willow barbecue, and then prepare a small bucket of fresh beer.

Regarding Zhu Tao's performance, although Zhu Yan had a bad temper and was full of thoughts of incriminating the teacher, it was difficult to punch a smiling person, so he said with a smile.

"I have long heard that my cousin has done a lot of research in the kitchen. This time I came to the village, so naturally I want to have a good tooth-beating ceremony."

After all the barbecue and hot pot were served, Zhu Yan began to eat big pieces. I have to say that this kind of delicious food is much better than the ones in his palace.

While eating, Zhu Yan said.

"Cousin, I'm doing business in Shanxi. I heard that Jin Wang Zhu Yan was severely punished by His Majesty some time ago. Do you think there will be turmoil in Shanxi? If so, I won't go back. Withdrew the business there."

In fact, Zhu Yan just wanted to test how knowledgeable Zhu Tao was and whether he was as amazing as Xu Zengshou said.

Unexpectedly, after listening to this question, Zhu Tao replied nonchalantly.

"Third cousin, you can just do your business with peace of mind. Naturally, the emperor won't do anything to King Jin. For a long time, nothing will happen in Shanxi."

After hearing this, Zhu Yan seemed a little skeptical. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was his own father, and he didn't even know if he would lose his temper. How could you, an adopted son, know?
King Zhu of Jin put away his arrogance in the past, and began to break the casserole and ask the end.

"Since this is the case, please ask my cousin to explain it for me, so that I can also understand that he can know it when he returns to Shanxi."

It was obvious that Zhu Tao was a little impatient, he was just a dandy, and this third cousin was also in business, so it had nothing to do with him whether the prince changed people or whether Shanxi was chaotic or not.

But at any rate, he was a member of his family, so Zhu Tao couldn't just refuse, so he took a sip of wine and started talking.

"Third cousin, you actually don't know Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he has won the world, he still can't get rid of his nature of peasant background. Don't say that King Jin just has a bad temper and likes to treat his servants harshly. I am afraid that the rebellious heart will only imprison Duojue, and will not really kill him."

For this analysis, Zhu Yan couldn't understand that the emperor was the emperor, and the time when he was a monk or an old farmer had long passed.

But he still wanted to know what Zhu Tao was thinking, so he said it very modestly.

"I would like to hear the details, please enlighten my cousin!"

Zhu Tao chuckled, and replied: "I can't give you any advice, it's just a very simple truth. If an old farmer's family has a few mu of Susukida, and his son wants to take it over, you think the old farmer will take it away?" Beat the son, or kill the son directly."

If you put it this way, of course it is a tiger that does not eat its sons, and the old farmer will just beat his son up, but Zhu Yuanzhang is not an old farmer, and he has thousands of miles of land, so how can he use this as an example.

Zhu Wei raised his doubts, and Zhu Tao explained: "Perhaps this is the limitation of his peasant background, but the more so, the more humane the emperor appears."

Regarding this point, Zhu Biao agrees, he was directly captured by Zhu Biao back to the capital in the name of inspection last time.

But Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of thunder and little rain, and after seemingly reprimanding him violently, he also put him back in the fief. Thinking about it now, it was also the emperor's love for his son.

However, the last time I was in Shanxi was indeed a little too much, I treated those servants and subordinates very harshly, so I don't know who was gossiping in front of the emperor, saying that he was going to rebel.

Even though he was released, he still had lingering fears for more than a year, and he couldn't even get a good night's sleep.

Since Zhu Tao can think of this level, he must not be an ordinary person. He might as well try it out and ask him to give him a way to truly ask for forgiveness in front of his father.

If his idea is really useful, then I will really treat him as my younger brother from now on, and will help him with anything.

"Cousin, if according to you, His Royal Highness King Jin really wants to ask His Majesty's forgiveness, what good idea do you have?"

Zhu Tao was happily chewing on the skewers, and almost choked when he heard Zhu Bian's words. He still didn't understand why his family couldn't do a good job and cared about so many sons and grandchildren.

"Third cousin, it doesn't matter whether His Royal Highness Jin is good or bad. What do we think about it so much? You just do your business well. Today, when you come to the little brother's village, you will not only eat but also drink. Let's talk about it." Brotherly love, Old Tang, and serve the third young master some popcorn."

Zhu Yan also knew that these delicacies were enough to grab his stomach, but his current mood was not on these foods.

"Cousin, to tell you the truth, my brother does a lot of business in Shanxi, and I'm an acquaintance with His Royal Highness King Jin. If you have a good idea, I will mention it in front of him. If it really works, he will You will also take care of my business, which is considered a favor to me."

Since this is the case, Zhu Tao has to say it. After all, it is a matter of little effort, and he is willing to help this third cousin get a good relationship in front of Zhu Yan.

"Since this is the case, the third cousin will tell His Royal Highness King Jin that whether he can ask His Majesty's forgiveness depends entirely on one person."

Zhu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered many people, such as the founding heroes Xu Da and Tang He, who were considered the emperor's old brothers.

Then there are the ministers of various countries with outstanding merits, such as Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Song Lian and other three cabinet ministers.

"Cousin, who is an important official of the court or a leader in the literary world, a contemporary leader?"

After hearing what Zhu Yan said, Zhu Tao shook his head, and said lightly: "It's not that this person is called Xu Xingzu, to be precise, he is the cook next to Jin Wang Zhu Yan."

After listening to Zhu Tao's words, Zhu Yan was completely stunned. What's going on? Can a cook solve any problems?
He looked at Zhu Tao with puzzled eyes, and knew that this cousin was not joking with him, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

Seeing Zhu Yan like this, Zhu Tao smiled slightly and explained.

"Third cousin, this Xu Xingzu was originally a cook by His Majesty's side and has been with the emperor for decades, and was later rewarded by the emperor to His Highness Prince Jin, but I heard that His Royal Highness Jin usually treats his servants harshly, and he is not good to this Xu Xingzu. "

After this reminder, Zhu Yan remembered it all at once, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat.
