Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was laughing loudly holding a letter sent back through a special channel in the harem.

There was no one else beside him, only Empress Ma sat across from him and looked at him with a smirk. The other attendants had already been sent away.

Looking at the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself that Zhu Tao was really capable. Not long after he sent an ordinary old monk there, he was named a national teacher.

And once this caste system is really promoted, I am afraid that within a year or so, the only remaining territory of the Yuan Dynasty will be completely destroyed.

"The old monk really has some skills. Our Tao'er has a really good vision. If Da Yuan is really destroyed, it will be considered a great achievement."

Empress Ma also said dotingly.

"Tao'er made such a great contribution, but he must be rewarded properly. Now this reward really can't reward him."

Now Zhu Tao has long been the chief assistant of the cabinet, and was also named the king of Dingyuan County. Such a kindness, even those founding fathers, can not be achieved by anyone.

Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded slightly and said.

"Sister, you just need to rest assured, Tao'er's matter, we have our own plans in mind, and sooner or later we won't wrong him."

Empress Ma said at this time more like a mother who thinks about her children.

"That's good. We have always regarded Zhu Tao as our own son. This child is also filial. We must not wrong him. Sooner or later we must make him a prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded, but he was even more depressed, so he said.

"Xu Da is the number one hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and he only made a Duke of Wei. Tao'er is now the chief assistant of the cabinet, and has been named the king of Dingyuan. He has long been above Xu Da. He wants to be named prince. He must be made It is better to do more work, but with the laziness of this kid, letting him do things is more uncomfortable than killing him."

Empress Ma naturally knew Zhu Tao's character very well, so she persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang to say so.

"Okay, the child is actually quite reliable, how many things he has done for you, the big and small things in your court, how many national policies are all thought out for you by Tao'er, and what do you want him to ask him to do."

At this moment, Li Shanchang was also thinking about a question, how to get in touch with Zhu Tao.

Although he was once the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the current cabinet is actually the head of the family, he, like Liu Bowen and Song Lian, had the opportunity to get acquainted with Zhu Tao in Zhujiazhuang.

But if it's a deep friendship, it doesn't count.

But now Zhu Tao has been named the county king, and now he has the right to mint coins and the right to operate iron mines.

What's more, both His Majesty and Empress Dowager treat him as if they were her own, even more so than the other princes.

Such a person, if he can't make friends as soon as possible, I'm afraid he will have regrets, and if he is made friends with a political opponent, he will have a tragic end.

He asked his son Li Qi.

"How much silver do we still have at home, or what rare antiques we can get out, I want to go to Dingyuan Palace."

Li Qi said helplessly.

"Father, in fact, there are quite a few rare treasures that our family can really get their hands on, but these things are just ordinary things in the hands of King Dingyuan. Besides, he has the right to mint coins in the imperial court. As much as you want, is it still short of our three walnuts and two dates?"

Li Shanchang was indeed a little troubled, his son's words made him thoughtful, and after thinking about it, it might not be appropriate to spend money, so the only thing left is to give it to a woman.

According to Zhu Tao's current status, even if many daughters of high-ranking officials and noble families want to give him a concubine, they may not have a chance.

Although this guy doesn't have a concubine, only Shen Wan'er is his main wife, but if he wants it, he probably doesn't lack women.

It can't be done, so Li Shanchang is really helpless. He directly thought of the most shameless way, which is to kowtow to Zhu Tao and make a brother with Zhu Tao.

Speaking of this, Li Shanchang felt sad. After so many years, he was the one with the highest salary among the founding dukes and the one with the most seniority in the cabinet, yet he got to this point.

But when you think about it, compared with Zhu Tao, I am not a big man, and none of the current national policies in the imperial court was formulated by Zhu Tao!
Zhu Tao alone can stand up to the entire court. Compared with such people, he is nothing more than the light of fireflies competing with the bright moon.

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang didn't hesitate any longer, and came to Zhu Tao's mansion with his horse and whip.

Although Zhu Tao has been named the county king, he did not live in the Dingyuan Palace that Zhu Yuanzhang gave him, but still lives in his own Zhujiazhuang.

And the dealers here also know that Zhu Tao has been made a prince, but they still habitually call him the young master, after all, it seems more friendly this way.

Old Tang opened the door, saw Li Shanchang standing at the door, and greeted him.

"Isn't this Li Xiangguo? Why are you here so late, come in and sit down, the young master is reading a book inside."

Li Shanchang was also very polite to Old Tang, after all, the prime minister was a seventh-rank official, let alone Zhu Tao's confidant.

He immediately said with a smile on his face.

"Don't be so polite to me. Apart from the cabinet members, all the people who come and go at this door are the six ministers and nine ministers. If you are really polite, just call me brother."

Old Tang was no longer polite, and directly led Li Shanchang into the yard.

But I didn't expect that Zhu Tao still had guests here. There were several people sitting in the hall, discussing something fiercely, but Zhu Tao was frowning and reading a book without speaking.

this matter.It made Li Shanchang startled, after all, with Zhu Tao's strength, who said what could make him so difficult to make a decision, so worried.

He hurriedly stepped forward to give a deep salute, and then said.

"Meet King Dingyuan."

Zhu Tao looked at him with a smile and said.

"Li Xiangguo is really too polite. A small county king is caught in our Daming, but you are a real cabinet minister. You should not be so polite to me."

Li Shanchang knew in his heart that Zhu Tao was being polite to him. It is true that county kings are not uncommon in Daming, but a county king like Zhu Tao is just a starting price.

But Li Shanchang didn't say anything else, he found a seat next to him and sat down, wanting to hear what these people were talking about with Zhu Tao.

But as the second assistant of the cabinet, he is the person who actually controls the cabinet, why don't I know these people.

Presumably, he shouldn't be an important official. If so, it should be promoted by His Majesty. It seems that His Majesty is too unpredictable.

Unexpectedly, after listening to it for a long time, it turns out that these few are Zhujiazhuang farmers, and they are talking about such trivial matters as the pickles in the cafeteria are salty again, and someone's land has been stepped on again.
