Chapter 452 My Emperor Father
Beggar's chicken is delicious.
While cursing a certain bastard in his heart, Emperor Zhu wolfed down various dishes.
We're his father-in-law, what's wrong with us eating some of his food?
This bastard has also screwed over many of our small dragon groups!
Zhu Laosi and Zhu Laowu clearly didn't care how their father was being talked about.
The little stories from Jiangnan are far more outrageous than this.
In comparison, the food at my brother-in-law's house is still the best.
Compared to the food at my brother-in-law's house, the stuff made by the Guanglu Temple was practically pig swill.
After the meal, Yu'er had water boiled and began to make tea for Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma.
Then, Zhu Chongba's face darkened.
What about Xiaolongtuan?
What about the Little Dragon Group we gave to that bastard?
What do you mean by taking out these loose tea leaves?
Emperor Zhu wanted to cry.
He wanted to hug Empress Ma, and the two of them would embrace and cry together.
This is the daughter I've raised for over ten years.
After getting married, all she thinks about is that bastard.
Where are your parents in your heart?
"These tea leaves were produced from tea trees that the Chang brothers helped to find."
Yu'er smiled and said, "My husband said that Xiaolongtuan is too rare. My godparents only think about giving it to him, but they can't bear to drink it themselves. So they thought of making their own tea so that they can offer it to my godparents later."
Upon hearing Yu'er's words, Zhu Chongba's old face immediately broke into a bright, sunny smile.
Look, look, he's Zhu Chongba's son-in-law, so filial.
Yu'er continued, "There are two kinds of tea in Ningyang County now. One is a clear, slightly yellow tea with a slightly astringent taste. It can refresh the mind and my husband says it is green tea."
"One type has a bright red color and a slightly sweet taste. My husband says it's black tea, which has the effect of nourishing the stomach and calming the nerves. He also said that adding some osmanthus flowers would make it taste even better."
"My husband said that my adoptive parents often couldn't eat on time when they were leading troops in battle, so they should drink some black tea to soothe their stomachs."
Zhu Chongba's old face was now beaming with a smile as bright as chrysanthemums in September.
Look at our good son-in-law!
Is there another one like this in the world?
Yu'er served the prepared tea to Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma.
Unlike Emperor Zhu, Empress Ma was not overjoyed. She simply picked up her teacup, smelled the aroma of the tea, and then took a small sip.
"My stomach feels really warm."
Empress Ma smiled and praised her, then looked at Yu'er and said, "Tell me honestly, what else did your husband say?"
"Are you planning to designate Ningyang County's black and green teas as tribute teas again?"
"You little brat, all you think about is your husband, and you're trying to fool your parents, aren't you?"
As soon as Empress Ma finished speaking, Emperor Zhu was furious.
Well, this bastard really is trying to scam us!
Thankfully, we brought him two jin of small dragon balls this time.
Let's see how this bastard suddenly changed his ways.
It turns out that even the daughter he had raised for seventeen years had betrayed him!
Beast!
That bastard is a living beast!
He was sent by God to torment us!
Just as Emperor Zhu was cursing inwardly, Erhu walked over, handed the emperor a small booklet, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the latest issue of the official gazette from the capital."
Official gazette?
Upon hearing the words "official gazette," Emperor Zhu felt even more distressed.
That bastard, he corrupted our Biao'er too!
Our Biao'er actually instructed others to slander us!
Emperor Zhu continued to curse wildly in his heart.
But I was also curious about what my "good son" could come up with this time.
Emperor Zhu slowly opened the official gazette, skipped over the preceding content, and turned his attention directly to the last section, the folk tales.
"My father, the Emperor."
Ok?
Did our Biao write this?
This title seems normal enough?
Emperor Zhu then flipped directly to the last few pages of the official gazette and found the article titled "My Lonely Emperor Father" to read.
"I am Zhu Biao, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. My father was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
"When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, he wasn't called Zhu Yuanzhang yet; back then, he was called Zhu Chongba."
"I was a cowherd and I was also a monk."
"My brother-in-law often says that he started with a bowl."
"..."
Emperor Zhu's face immediately darkened.
This piece of shit.
What the hell do you mean by starting with just a bowl?
Although the description is quite apt, I am, after all, an emperor. Don't I have any dignity?
Our Biao'er is the best; he knows how to care for us.
Look at this article, it describes all the hardships we experienced as children.
If it weren't for those hardships, how could I have become the emperor?
And the writing style is quite refreshing.
Looks like he learned it from that bastard again.
But that's good, this simple and straightforward writing style is just right for ordinary people to read.
While cursing his son-in-law in his heart, Emperor Zhu secretly praised his eldest son, and his hands were also busy turning to another page.
What is this painting?
"Ningyang County luncheon meat?"
"Mackerel from Dengzhou Prefecture?"
No, if I remember correctly, what we're holding is the Imperial Gazette, right?
You printed pictures of luncheon meat and mackerel in the official gazette, and even called it "Crown Prince's Choice"?
Aren't you going a bit too far in bullying me?
Emperor Zhu gave a slight snort and then turned his gaze to his eldest son's article.
Then, Emperor Zhu completely lost his temper.
"Pearl Jade White Jade Soup?"
No, it's one thing for ordinary people to spread rumors, but you little bastard actually wrote it into an article?
This is something that can't be cleared up at all!
That little beast!
They've completely gone astray, influenced by that bastard!
We should have sent someone to capture him when he ran off to Dengzhou!
Emperor Zhu couldn't help but rub his forehead, suppressing the urge to curse as he continued reading.
"Because of poverty in his childhood, he never went to school, was illiterate, and could not write."
"But after he joined the rebel army... he slowly began to read and write."
"..."
"He said he had many dreams."
"First, we must ensure that all people in the world are well-fed and clothed, can eat meat every few days, and can have new clothes to wear."
"Secondly, we hope for clean governance so that the people will no longer be oppressed by corrupt officials."
"Thirdly, we must ensure that all the children and grandchildren of the people can read and write. Whether they can become officials is another matter; the most important thing is that they can understand principles and be enlightened."
"..."
Upon seeing this, Emperor Zhu's anger gradually subsided.
Fine, let's make it Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.
They even made up stories about us stealing cattle, and some scoundrel even made up stories about us stealing chickens. Didn't we just put up with it?
As long as this issue of the official gazette is published and the people know what kind of person Zhu Chongba is, and the people are no longer afraid of officials, then no matter how he slanders us, we will accept it.
After reading Zhu Biao's article, Emperor Zhu returned to the table of contents and began reading from the beginning.
