Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Mr. Hu is living happily here.

But in the Hu Mansion, the brother and sister Hu Renbin and Hu Xinyue could only copy the Analects of Confucius, stroke by stroke.

But what no one in the Hu family, big or small, old or young, could have imagined is that at this moment in the palace, the most powerful people in the entire Ming Dynasty were thinking about this matter in the Hu family.

"Biao'er, we have chosen a princess for you, what do you think?"

Zhu Biao suddenly heard the news and was really confused for a while.

But in an instant, he no longer cared, and bowed directly: "My son, I have no objection, it is only up to my father to make the decision!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had long known that his son would not refuse, he still felt quite happy after hearing Zhu Biao's answer.

He immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, we won't randomly stuff people into your east palace."

"What's more, your crown princess in the East Palace will be the queen in the future, how can we mess around?"

"This time, your mother was interested in it and discussed it with us. We both thought it was good, so we pointed it out to you!"

Zhu Biao actually understood very early that his marriage could only be designated by his father and mother.

He didn't feel anything was wrong.

He, who abides by etiquette and law, certainly understands what "the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words" mean.

What's more, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, his marriage has long been no longer a matter of bringing the case together and carrying on the family line.

Therefore, he really had no objection at all to Zhu Yuanzhang appointing a princess for himself.

Moreover, the East Palace now indeed lacks a mistress.

Although there were concubines, chambermaids, and maids in the palace, there was no woman in charge, so it still mattered after all.

Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement saved him a lot of effort, which was good!

Zhu Biao had it done, and Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied and started to think about another thing.

That was the reputation issue of Hu Xinyue's annulment.

In the past, Hu Xinyue's decision to break off the engagement or not had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even bother to look at it.

Even though in the final analysis, it was him who hinted Li Shanchang to do it.

Hu Weiyong was also a close and loyal minister whom he relied on.

This quarrel directly caused Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, two important ministers in Huaixi, to become estranged from each other for the rest of their lives.

But...so what?

It can even be said that this is his purpose!

He is happy to see it come to fruition!

But not anymore!

Hu Xinyue will become his daughter-in-law, the successor and crown princess of Prince Zhu Biao, and in the future she will become the mother and queen of a country.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang tolerate Hu Xinyue bearing such a stain?

Hu Xinyue's appearance, figure, character, temperament, and knowledge now satisfy him and Queen Ma, so the remaining small problems must also be solved.

If his fat son wants to marry a wife, there must be no problem.

As for how to solve this problem?

Haha, Zhu Yuanzhang has a skill.

That is, he is extremely good at solving people who create problems!

To put it bluntly, he must do this and do it well, but he is too lazy to do it himself, so he might as well find the source.

Once the source is solved, the problem will no longer exist.

simple!

rough!

But it works!

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Song Li to call Li Shanchang.

Yes, this is the method that Zhu Yuanzhang figured out.

You caused this by breaking off the engagement, so you can solve it for us.

Very unreasonable!

But...does Li Shanchang have the right to refuse?

As for the other side, it’s Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to pay attention at this moment.

In his opinion, if we choose your niece to be the crown princess, can you still refuse?

This special girl is a confirmed queen and will become the mother of a country in the future.

Only a fool would disagree.

Therefore, Li Shanchang is the only one left.

When Li Shanchang came at a quick trot, he was faced with Zhu Yuanzhang's stern words.

"Shanchang, what was the secret behind your nephew's breakup of the engagement? Tell us!"

Hearing this, Li Shanchang was completely confused.

No!

Although you are the emperor, you came here in such a hurry just to ask my nephew about breaking off the engagement?

And, the inside story?

What could be the inside story here?

Didn't you suggest that I break off the engagement and fall out with Hu Weiyong?

Seeing Li Shanchang's confused look, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very calm.

As a minister, don't you have to take the blame and wipe your butt for us? Otherwise, wouldn't the salary I gave you be in vain?

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang cleared his throat and said softly: "Didn't the Queen hold a banquet recently?"

"At this banquet, she was searching around and accidentally discovered that the niece of Hu Weiyong's family has quite good character, knowledge, and appearance."

"She told us that this girl would be a good match for Biao'er and become our Crown Princess of the East Palace."

"After much thought, we think it's pretty good."

"If this is not the case, let me ask you."

"Your nephew and the niece of the Weiyong family were engaged at first, but then they broke off the engagement in a confused way. What happened inside?"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's "shameless" words, Li Shanchang's face turned green.

No!

According to your instructions, I broke off the engagement and severed diplomatic relations with Hu Weiyong, which has already made me notorious among Yingtian Mansion and Huaixi nobles.

What do you mean now, are you asking me to think of another way to take the blame for breaking off the engagement away from Hu Xinyue and put it on myself?

If that's the case, didn't I break off the engagement for nothing?

They are cooperating and working together, but you have done nothing. Hu Weiyong’s niece is going to be the crown princess. My nephew doesn’t even have a daughter-in-law, and he is about to be infamy?

Inside and out, is it just my old Li family that has suffered a loss?

Li Shanchang is really getting angrier the more he thinks about it.

But when he looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang's expressive old face and his indifferent and ruthless eyes, the anger that had just risen in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

I almost forgot, this is Zhu Chongba!

Zhu Chongba, who never spared anyone under the sword and dared to bury anyone he dared to kill.

If this evil star is really offended, the old Li family may not have a future.

People had to lower their heads under the eaves. Li Shanchang swallowed and stammered in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, there were some rumors in the city. It was said that my nephew Li You came to ask Hu Weiyong's niece to break off the engagement. In fact, the rumor was wrong."

"The truth of the matter is that my nephew was naughty and naughty, so Hu Weiyong brought his niece to my house to break off the engagement."

"This is the inside story of my nephew's marriage!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, there was a smile on his face and he nodded.

"That's right! Then we can't hide this matter!"

"We can't delay the marriage of that girl from Hu Weiyong's family!"

"You know what you are good at!"

Li Shanchang looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and nodded bitterly.

"I understand!"
