The main hall of Chunhe Palace is wide and huge, with a table for two people, which can accommodate more than 600 people at the same time, and the sons and daughters of the powerful above the fourth rank are qualified to sit.

Xu Mingwu's seat is in the middle of the front position, Zhu Daneng is at the same table with him, and the two have nothing else to do, just chat.

Xu Mingwu has known him for a long time and has benefited a lot, and has learned a lot about the private affairs of the royal family and nobles of the Tianwu Dynasty from his mouth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Xu Mingwu followed the sound and saw four people walking towards the curtain behind the hall, all of them heroic young people.

The middle one has a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, wearing a brocade robe, and a purple and gold crown, which is Zhu Fan, who reprimanded him at the Huangming Military Academy, that is, the current crown prince Zhu He.

Everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted and sent blessings.

Prince Zhu and His Majesty quoted scriptures and said a few words, and greeted everyone to eat and drink with a smile and let go of the fun.

After the prince sat down, a person beside him stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "The banquet begins, play music!" ”

In the middle of the main hall, there is a Ningxia blanket with fine workmanship and uniform and bright colors, and dozens of dancers are dancing in the melodious music.

The musicians of the Bell and Drum Division plucked the bell, chime, sheng, zheng, and wo gong hou and mixed them with the Western Regions musical instruments vertical gong hou and quxiang pipa, which was heroic and majestic, and the dance was sonorous and powerful.

During the banquet, the guests were in high spirits, laughing and laughing, and a team of palace ladies held food plates and shuttled between the banquets, presenting pieces of delicious fat sheep cooked and the imperial wine of the palace.

On each table, there are luxurious and exquisite utensils in the palace, drinking utensils inlaid with gold and jade, plates are white jade double lotus, and bowls are paid tribute by Jingdezhen.

Xu Mingwu looked at it and smacked his lips, eager to take one or two pieces away, and then wear them back and sell them for a good price!

During the banquet, the sauce was overflowing, the aroma was tangy, and Xu Er, who was in high spirits, drank three glasses of wine in a row, which was sweet and mellow, and he drank it happily.

"Brother Xu, what a good amount of wine! Come, brother, toast you! ”

Zhu Daneng, who was sitting next to him, smiled and held the wine glass, "Brother, Your Majesty values you very much, don't let go of the Holy Grace." ”

Xu Mingwu didn't refuse, and touched two glasses with him.

Xuan Ye on the side was not willing to be lonely, licking his pockmarked face and coming up to toast.

Xu Mingwu looked at him, and laughed in his heart, how did he become such a forced appearance?

"Brother Xuanye, it can be seen that you are a person with great ambitions, what are your plans for the future?"

Xuan Ye heard the words, if he meets a confidant? Three more drinks in a row? A slight flush on a numb face? said: "Brother Xu is a concubine, and he can be summoned by His Majesty to entrust him with an important task, he is really a model for my generation, Xuan Ye is willing to learn from Brother Xu?" Serve the country in the army! ”

Xu Mingwu nodded slightly? Xuan Ye is only thirteen years old this year? According to the admission conditions of the Huangming Military Academy? Outstanding secondary school students who are at least 15 years old are eligible to apply.

But the noble children of the Ming Dynasty have priority in education? They have a great advantage in entering the Huangming Military Academy, and although Xuan Ye is considered to be the concubine of the Anliao Mansion, he is also qualified.

It's just that Xu Mingwu is hard to imagine? The dignified Kang Mazi actually wants to make contributions to the Ming Dynasty......

Aren't you quite awesome in history, killing the Zhu Ming royal family? Huh? There's a ready-made prince up there, go him!

Xu Mingwu set his eyes on the crown prince Zhu and His Majesty? I saw that the prince actually stepped down from the throne, sat down and sat down with a young man, and said something with his eyebrows.

The young man was not much different in age from the prince, he was more mature and rigid, exuding a different kind of masculinity.

Xu Mingwu put down the crystal cup and asked in a low voice: "Brother Almighty, I don't know who is sitting with the prince?" ”

Zhu Daneng pondered for a while and said: "His name is Sun Zhiyuan, he is the son-in-law of Sun Yingyuan, the prince of Qin, who grew up with the prince since he was a child, and is the most trusted person of His Royal Highness. ”

Zhu Daneng said again: "When Sun Zhiyuan was sixteen years old, he followed the Qin State to determine the Tusi Rebellion in the southwest, and he asked for the vanguard, and even broke the five walled cities of Tusi, and he was the most famous among our noble children, and even Zhu Jing's thing in front of him had to salute three points!" ”

Xu Mingwu saw awe and a hint of envy in Zhu Daneng's gaze.

In the second generation of Da Ming Xun, almost all of them have gone to the Huangming Military Academy, but there are very few who have really been on the battlefield.

Xu Mingwu had probably learned about the Ming army's war to pacify the southwest Tusi in the military academy, which happened in the fifteenth year of Tianwu.

In order to curb the power of Tusi in the southwest, Emperor Tianwu issued an order to reform the land and return to the stream, abolishing the Tusi system in the ethnic minority areas in the southwest, and replacing it with the direct rule of the officials appointed by the imperial court, and implementing the same local administrative system as in the interior.

Southwest Tusi, for three hundred years has been the heart of the Ming Dynasty, every once in a while to do things, support the army and self-respect, to coerce the imperial court to obtain the greatest benefits, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, almost will send troops to beat up.

After the will to change the land and return to the stream was issued to Yungui, Guangshun Changzhai Tusi first stood up to provoke the imperial court, and then Sicheng Tufu Cen's, Donglan Tuzhou Wei's, Guishun Tuzhou Cen Clan, Xialong Changguan Zhao's Clan, Encheng Tuzhou Zhao Clan, etc., successively stood up to raise troops against the imperial court, made a huge momentum, and soon impacted the Guangxi region.

At the beginning of the sixteenth year of Tianwu, Emperor Tianwu ordered Sun Yingyuan, the prince of Qin, to be the marshal, sent troops to quell the rebellion, and destroyed the Tusi of Guangshun Changzhai with the momentum of destroying the withering and pulling Qiao, and hung the heads of the Tusi family on the walled city.

In one month, the Ming army pulled out the forces of the rebellious Wumengtu prefect Lu Wanzhong and the Zhenxiongtu prefect Longqinghou, dismissed all the posts of several major Tusi with deterrent power, reestablished Zhaotong Mansion, and dispatched central officials.

The collapse of several major Tusi regimes shook other large and small Tusi in western Guangxi, and the Tusi handed over their seals and weapons to the imperial court, and were dismissed from their posts and sent to other places for resettlement.

Since then, all the Tusi regimes in the southwest have been replaced by the liuguan system, so that the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Xiangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces has been epicly strengthened, and it is an unfinished work of the previous generations!

However, after that war, Yingyuan, the prince of Qin, contracted a vicious illness and resigned from all his positions in the Southern Military Governor's Office, and concentrated on returning to Beijing to raise troops.

The First War in the Southwest made the pioneer officer Sun Zhiyuan famous, and because his father and grandson Yingyuan resigned and retired, Emperor Tianwu vigorously promoted him to be the head of the Wupin Regiment of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army.

Xu Mingwu set his eyes on the few people around the prince again, and inquired about their identities one by one.

"That big man who looks stupid, his name is Xu Zhanpeng, he is the son of Xu Sheng, the Duke of Wu'an, and he is now washing horses for the Zhan Mansion from the Wupin Prince, and he is the personal guard commander of His Royal Highness."

"That lean guy, named Li Zheng, is the son of Li Tingbiao, the prince of Zhongwu, and acts as the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, this kid was born in the Jinyi Wei family, has a bad stomach, and is very ...... yin."

Zhu Daneng beeped quietly, and it could be seen that he was very jealous of Jinyiwei.

"The relationship between the royal family and the nobles of the Tianwu Dynasty is really extraordinary!"

Xu Mingwu sighed, they were like relatives, no wonder some nobles wanted to desperately marry the imperial family and wanted to go further.

This crown prince is very comfortable, with a strong foundation of civil and military generals, a general who can fight, an intelligence player born in Jinyiwei, and a professional guard.

With such a lineup, how can the second prince fight with the crown prince?

To put it mildly, in case Emperor Tianwu, who is in charge of all opportunities, returns to heaven one day, the crown prince will easily ascend to the throne!

But then again, the emperor cultivated the prince like this, if he lived too long, would the fledgling prince be in a hurry?

After all, in all dynasties, the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince was very sensitive......

......

The banquet in the Chunhe Palace continued, and after the wine was thirty years, a team of palace ladies came again with wine vessels.

Along the way, they danced with wide sleeves, fluttering silk scarves, swaying long skirts, and then had a professional status on each table.

Prince Zhu and His Majesty stood up with the golden cup, and said: "This wine is the favorite wine of my father, and this palace is fortunate to be given it, and I share it with you today!" ”

There was an immediate burst of applause in the main hall, praising the prince.

Xu Mingwu looked at the wine in his cup, and as soon as he smelled the taste, he knew that this thing was wine, and he just wanted to move his mouth to taste it, but he heard the prince speak again.

"Everyone, if you have a good wine, you might as well come out and comment on one or two."

Xu Mingwu put down the cup, a little speechless, drank when he drank, and also made comments, and it was not a live broadcast to bring goods, is it necessary?

As soon as the prince's words fell, one person jumped up, and Xu Mingwu raised his eyes to see that it was the licking dog Zhu Jing who had warned him.

Zhu Daneng snorted coldly: "This guy likes to show himself in the limelight!" ”

"I see." Xu Mingwu responded.

I saw Zhu Jing raise his glass, first sniffed it, then took a sip, and then made an exaggerated lip smacking sound.

"The color of this wine is clear and translucent, the smell is fragrant like orchid, the taste is full and pure, the fragrance is refreshing, soft and lasting, the aftertaste is endless, the charm is full, and the taste is a bite, as if you are in heaven and earth, and you can't extricate yourself!"

Xu Mingwu rolled his eyes, if an elegant person tastes wine like this, he can still have a sense of substitution, this guy is strong, and when he said this with a wine glass, it feels obviously wrong!

What is full, long-lasting, heavenly and earthly, and cannot extricate itself......

Xu Mingwu suddenly thought crookedly.

Zhu Jing smiled faintly, continued to shake his head and said: "This wine is the best in the wine, if you guess it is right, this wine is an authentic wine from Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi!" ”

The prince stroked his palms and smiled: "Yuan Zhi's good knowledge, this wine is from Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi!" ”

Wine culture, in China has a history of more than 2,000 years, since the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor Zhang Qian sent to the Western Regions, brought back the method of brewing, during the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing destroyed the Gaochang Kingdom, also obtained the mare's milk grape varieties and wine brewing method, Li Shimin is in the palace garden to plant grapes, personally participate in the wine production.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the ancient Chinese wine culture reached its heyday, the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were very fond of Portugal, the Yuan Shizu built a wine room in the palace, and stipulated that the wine must be used for the worship of the temple, and opened up vineyards in Taiyuan, Shanxi and Nanjing, Jiangsu.

Since then, Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi Province has become a wine making base, and it is also sold to the outside world, and the supply exceeds demand.

According to irregular statistics, in all dynasties, all emperors who can fight are good at this, and even Kang Mazi has developed the habit of drinking a glass of wine every day until he dies.

Praised by the prince, Zhu Jing looked excited, quite complacent, he looked at the first Zhaoyang princess opposite, raised his glass and smiled: "This cup of wine, I respect Your Highness's eternal youth, infinite age!" ”

Zhu Zhiwei smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

“he tui！”

Xu Mingwu spat at the spittoon beside him and muttered, "Lick the dog!" ”

Zhu Jing swept through everyone and found Xu Ershao who didn't care, so he said, "Xu Ershao, why don't you also come and evaluate one or two?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Mingwu smiled, glanced at him, and took a sip of the wine glass.

Many noble ministers in the hall looked at him, wanting to see how Xu Ershao, who has been in the limelight recently, commented on whether there was anything outstanding, especially a woman wearing a veil during the banquet, who showed great concern.

Zhu Daneng, who was beside him, looked at Brother Xu and didn't speak for a long time, so he asked, "How?" ”

Xu Mingwu smacked his lips, blurted out, and praised: ", it's so delicious!" ”

The air in the hall seemed to freeze, and there was a brief silence, and then there was a whisper, and many people began to point fingers at Xu Mingwu, saying insulting words in their mouths.

Princess Zhu Zhiwei of Zhaoyang was directly amused, and the unhappiness just now was swept away, and the smile on her cheeks was rippling.

Xu Mingwu didn't care about this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he took his shamelessness to the extreme.

What bells and whistles have to be evaluated, a sentence is enough to walk the world, this is a must-have skill at home!

"Bold! Today is the birth of His Royal Highness the Prince, you are disrespectful, come to someone, blast him out! Zhu Jing took advantage of the question and pointed at Xu Mingwu and shouted.

Xu Mingwu stood up and waved his hand and said: "Everyone is a civilized person, with a very high level of moral character and cultural accomplishment, what can't be discussed well, right, His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

The prince glanced at him seriously, sighed and said, "Xu Mingwu, if you have time, you should read more, only brilliant writing is more useful." ”

Xu Mingwu listened to his tone of respecting Wen and belittling Wu, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, so he said: "Although Wen can be Anbang, but Wu can also set the country, if everyone in the Ming Dynasty blindly goes to study, then who will protect the family and defend the country and expand the territory?" ”

"You are bold, dare to question Your Highness!" Zhu Jing jumped out again.

The prince waved his hand, smiled lightly, and did not refute Xu Mingwu, he looked gentle and elegant, and there was a sense of grace and nobility in his gestures, but no one knew his true side.

The prince spoke, and the matter turned over, and ordered someone to continue the next part of the banquet: throwing pots.

The pot throwing ceremony originated from the shooting ceremony, and has been a traditional Chinese etiquette and banquet game from the pre-Qin to the end of the Qing Dynasty.

At the banquet, there are many guests, and they can't prepare a bow to compare couples, let alone shoot targets to help the fun, and some guests, especially female guests, can't shoot arrows, so they use pitching pots instead of bending bows, so as to entertain guests and learn etiquette.

In the main hall of this matter, there are two exquisite gold pitching pots on the Ningxia blanket in the middle, and Gong'e pours red beans into them so that the arrows will not pop out after being thrown.

Xu Mingwu suddenly realized that this was the prince's dismount for him, and he had just slapped the prince by himself, saying that he was not good at writing and capable of martial arts, and now that people were in a position, they were clearly going to slap their faces.

Xu Mingwu's head was as big as a fight, and he secretly said that this prince is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is kind and okay on the surface, and the result is revenge from morning to night, unambiguously!
