Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

At this time, Zhu Di came in front of Zhu Tao wearing a suit of armor, and said to him with a smile.

"Brother Tao, now you know who the fourth brother is. On your wedding day, I gave you an ingenious gift."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several soldiers came up carrying a plaque. It was a plaque made of pure gold, and there were four characters written on it: Give birth to a precious son early.

Not to mention that Zhu Tao thought this gift was a bit vulgar, even Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little depressed watching it from the side.

"Fourth, it's too embarrassing for you to do this. After all, it's the royal atmosphere. On the day of Tao'er's wedding, you made such a plaque. Is it because our family can't afford gold or what? This is so ingenious! "

Zhu Tao also felt the same way. He didn't pick gifts, but he also felt that these things were quite tacky, so he said.

"Fourth brother, I don't lack gold and silver here. Why do you want me to get a gold plaque? The auspicious words of having a baby early can be said in person. I will definitely work hard and give you a big fat nephew sooner."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di ignored Zhu Tao's words and said to himself.

"Brother, you don't know that this gold is different from other gold. For my brother, the Northern Expedition drove Emperor Yuanshun to the vast desert, captured his prince and queen, and took their golden crowns to make it. Pointless?"

With such an explanation, all the people present understood that this congratulatory gift was the good news of the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little awkward just now, but now he is secretly happy, saying that the fourth child is really thoughtful.

After the marriage ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma returned to the palace, leaving Prince Zhu Biao and several princes who were familiar with Zhu Tao here to support Zhu Tao.

Zhu Tao was also secretly happy, toasting everywhere, and soon drank a little too much.

The King of Jin, Zhu Yan, who was watching him from the side, felt that the kid was shaking a little, so he quickly grabbed him and said.

"Brother Tao, you already have wine, you can't drink any more, and you'll have to spend some time in the bridal chamber, and you'll be so drunk later on, wouldn't you be ignoring Wan'er."

For this third brother, Zhu Tao still respected him, so he stopped drinking and chatted with everyone.

The bustling wedding was about to end, when a dusty military general broke in from the outside.

Zhu Tao raised his eyes and saw that this person was none other than Xu Zengshou, who had just been appointed as the deputy pioneer of the Japanese conquest a few months ago.

Old friends are naturally happy to meet each other. Seeing Xu Zengshou coming, Zhu Tao quickly pulled him to sit down and said.

"Zengshou, you are not on the front line of conquest of the Japanese. How did you come here? Have you already succeeded? Has the colonization been completed?"

Hearing Zhu Tao's question, Xu Zengshou quickly replied.

"Everything went well on the front line. We led [-] soldiers across the sea and beat up the Japanese pirates who came to meet the enemy. Those so-called warriors were all leeks in front of us. They cut them at will. I received a letter from my father, knowing that your wedding has been decided , so I hurried to hurry up and run two thousand miles in three days, come back to say hello to you, ask for a glass of wine by the way, and then go back to the front line."

Zhu Tao was a little moved. After all, it was very rare to be able to travel two thousand miles to congratulate him.

"Look at your dusty appearance, your face is dark and thin, and you have suffered in front of you, come and sit down and have a drink."

Xu Zengshou was very excited, looked at Zhu Tao and said.

"His Royal Highness King Yan sent a special congratulatory gift just now. We have nothing to give, and we have made some preparations. Don't be disgusted when Shaodong sees his family."

Zhu Tao didn't care about gifts or not at all, and said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, if you can travel so far and come back just to have a glass of wedding wine for me, then we are brothers who are hard-working. You don't have to be polite. Gifts or gifts are just clouds."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di next to him glared at Xu Zengshou. His gift was ingenious, but he didn't know what Xu Zengshou could prepare.

So, he stepped forward and patted Xu Zengshou on the shoulder, and said.

"Zengshou, since you have made preparations, the gift must not be bad, so let's talk about it, and see if it can make our eyes shine."

Xu Zengshou, on the other hand, smiled, and purposely sold off, and said to Zhu Di.

"Your Highness, please guess what gift I brought back this time."

Zhu Di went straight up and gave him a kick before speaking.

"Stop teasing me, kid. I don't have the patience to guess and say it quickly, or I'll kick you."

Xu Zengshou looked at Zhu Di helplessly, and said to himself why this guy had a worse temper than Zhu Yan. When he played with them when he was a child, he was always beaten up by Zhu Di for no reason.

At this time, of course he couldn't keep it up and said directly.

"Relying on the mandarin duck tactics of Shaodong's family, I captured two thousand Japanese pirates in the first battle on the battlefield in Dongpu. I made them wear their heads, ordered five hundred soldiers to escort them back, and sent them to Shaodong's family to do coolies. It is estimated that there will be more The day is coming, these Japanese pirates are natural slaves, let them do the dirty work, just give them a bite to eat, even if they eat swill, there is no problem."

Zhu Tao burst into laughter, he said to Xu Zengshou.

"Zengshou, you guys have really grown up. I gave His Majesty an idea to let the Ming Dynasty colonize Dongying and capture all the Japanese slaves as slaves. Unexpectedly, you gave me a copy of the Japanese slaves first. It is a great gift. Tell me, what kind of gift should I return to you?"

Xu Zengshou, on the other hand, smiled and said in embarrassment.

"The battle ahead is urgent, so I really can't delay here. After drinking a glass of wedding wine at the Young Master's house, I have to rush back to the front line. After triumphant return, you can cook some delicious dishes for me yourself."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it in one gulp, then turned around and galloped away.

All the people present were amazed. It was precisely because of Zhu Tao's training that Xu Zengshou, who was so stubborn, became a useful talent for the country.

At this moment, the head of the inner court came to deliver the decree.

"Zhu Tao's meritorious service is in Sheji. From now on, we will officially accept him as a adopted son, give him three thousand dragon and tiger guards to accompany him, and formally confer the title of Lord Protector. He will be ranked above Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, and his parents are also in Sheji. Great merit, posthumous titles of three generations of grand masters and grand masters, building an ancestral hall, and assigning five hundred families of soldiers and civilians to guard their tombs and offer sacrifices!"

When all the officials present heard such a decree, their envious eyes almost turned green, but this kind of grace is probably only worthy of someone like Zhu Tao.

Say nothing else.These three thousand dragon and tiger guards are the treatment that no vassal king can enjoy in the capital.

These people are naturally Zhu Tao's personal armed forces, not to mention that there are [-] resident priests' ancestral halls, and those people only belong to Zhu Tao himself.
