Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Finally when it was time to go to court, the commander of Jin Yiwei came out to greet everyone, and everyone came to the court together.

However, Zhu Tao soon discovered something was wrong. According to the arrangement, he was now on top of Wei Guogong Xu Da, and Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others were far behind him.

It doesn't matter what he thinks, as long as he can stand here, Zhu Yan will complete the task, at least his leg will be saved.

Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the court slowly and sat down on the throne behind the dragon case. All the officials hurriedly paid homage and shouted long live.

Normally, before the new minister goes to the palace, there will be a special mission from the Ministry of Rites to teach etiquette, so as to avoid the fault of the emperor's disrespect.

Zhu Tao had not been drilled by the Ministry of Etiquette, so he could only pay homage with the crowd. His mistakes were so obvious that the ministers wanted to laugh but they didn't dare.

Even those supervisory officials who usually like to watch others make mistakes, turn a blind eye.

Just kidding, these censors are not short-hearted, who would go to Zhu Tao for trouble.

If he was really that upright, he probably wouldn't be able to live to this day.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already seen Zhu Tao's appearance, but he didn't care about it at all.

It was enough to get this lazy son out of bed and let him come to court, nothing else was important at all.

So, he glanced at the monarchs and ministers in the hall, and finally looked at Zhu Yan, and said.

"Zhu Yan has always been diligent and capable in handling errands. Since this is the case, then we will be extra kind and reward the prince with three years' salary and eight thousand treasures."

The ministers were stunned. This not only represented their trust in King Jin, but also because it was a great credit for Zhu Yan to pull Zhu Tao over to court.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang's emphasis on Zhu Tao is far higher than that of Jin Wang Zhu Yan.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing government affairs with the six ministries and nine ministers, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen hurriedly taught Zhu Tao etiquette and informed him of the handling process of political affairs.

Zhu Tao didn't wake up much at first, and what he heard was in the clouds, but because he was in the court, he wanted to save face for his father, so he refrained from yawning.

After all these things were finished, Liu Bowen asked a question.

"Young master, if there is anything you don't understand, just tell me, and I will explain it to you in detail."

Seeing Liu Bowen's serious face, Zhu Tao was very helpless, he said in a low voice.

"Mr. Liu, I really have something to ask you. When will this morning meeting end? I have to go back to sleep."

Liu Bowen looked helpless. He didn't expect that after talking for a long time, he would come to such a result, so he could only reply.

"It is estimated that it will be around noon, maybe a little earlier."

After hearing this, Zhu Tao began to think for a while with black lines on his face, and then he said to Liu Bowen.

"Mr. Liu, you haven't eaten my fish-flavored shredded pork once or twice. Our relationship is pretty good. If I have something to ask for your help, you won't refuse, right?"

Liu Bowen said in his heart, I refuse a hammer. With your current power and favor, I think it's too late to cling to you.

So he answered right away.

"Young master, if you have anything to do, just say it. I will do what I can, and I will try my best to do what I can't."

Zhu Tao quickly waved his hand and said in a low voice.

"It's not that complicated, I just want you to do me a favor and get out of my way, and then I want to stand and stare for a while."

After hearing this, Liu Bowen almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, but looking at Zhu Tao, standing there staggering, he almost fell asleep.

Zhu Tao squinted his eyes, and when he was about to see Duke Zhou, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped down from the throne at some point, turned to him, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Stinky boy, you don't even look at this place, you dare to sleep openly in the court hall."

Zhu Tao, who was soundly asleep, was slapped awake, and suddenly saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing in front of him.

"Dad, I just took a nap for a while, I'm not used to it..."

The ministers next to him didn't dare to laugh even if they wanted to. This is not a dialogue between the emperor and his ministers. Even ordinary princes would not dare to say this, which shows how much Zhu Tao has been favored by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"We must punish you for sleeping above the court. If we don't punish you, we won't let the ministers take it as a warning. Everyone started to sleep."

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Tao felt that what his father said made sense, so he said it helplessly.

"Well, since this is the case, then I will accept the punishment, please take away my title of Lord Protector, so that I don't need to come to court."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't vomit this old blood. He said in his heart that you, a bastard, wanted to put down the pick, but we couldn't let you do so.

"We punish you to go to six departments to serve as the acting servant. You have to stay in each department for a full month, half a year, to familiarize yourself with all the affairs of the six departments."

Zhu Tao sighed, he still wanted to give Zhu Yuanzhang some face in the court, but in the face of this request, his face was still covered with black lines.

The ministers above the imperial court have long been used to the unbelievability of these two men, but this time they were still a little surprised.

The acting assistant minister is temporarily serving as the second in command in the ministry, but with Zhu Tao's status, no minister dares to really issue orders to him.

What's more, each department stays for a full month, and all six departments are rotated in half a year. What is this for?Obviously it is to train a cabinet chief assistant.

No other minister could find such a good thing, even if they were playing lanterns. Such a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity turned out to be a punishment for Zhu Tao.

Zhu Tao couldn't agree to such an errand. If he really went to be a servant, let alone sleep, he would be entangled in mundane affairs every day in the future.

Therefore, at this time, he no longer cared about Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and directly retorted.

"I can't be an official. You can be anyone you want. Anyway, I can't do it. Oh, Dad, my stomach hurts. I have to go back and rest."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very depressed watching him perform here. When will this bastard understand something and share it with his father and brother.

"Why do you hurt? Even if it hurts, you have to treat it here. If you don't want to be the servant, then go to court and we won't make things difficult for you."

When Zhu Tao was rejoicing that he didn't have to go to Liubu, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked him.

"The Ministry of War mentioned just now that Zhengdongpu lacks accurate maps. If you have nothing to do now, you should think of a way. I remember that the sand table you made last time was good. How about making it as it is?"

After Zhu Tao heard it, he became even more depressed. That thing came with a sign, and it is not impossible for him to do it if he wants to do it. It is not enough to not sleep for ten and a half months.

For Zhu Tao, not eating is still a trivial matter, and not sleeping, it is like the sky is falling.
