The Chunhe Palace Hall is wide and huge. Two people have a table that can accommodate more than 600 people at the same time. Children of powerful people of fourth rank and above are qualified to sit in.

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

Xu Mingwu met him for half a day and benefited a lot from him. He learned a lot about the private affairs of the royal family and nobles of the Tianwu Dynasty from him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

Xu Mingwu looked in the voice and saw four people walking from the curtain behind the hall, all of whom were full of heroic young people.

The middle one has a face as jade as a crown, a starry sky, a brocade robe and a purple gold crown. It is Zhu Fan, who once scolded him at the Imperial Ming Military Academy, that is, the current crown prince Zhu Hebi.

Everyone quickly got up and bowed and sent blessings.

Prince Zhu Hebi quoted the scriptures and said a few scenes, and then smiled and asked everyone to eat and drink, and let go of the fun.

After the prince sat down, one of his side took a step forward and said loudly: "The banquet begins, play music!"

In the middle of the hall, there is a Ningxia blanket with fine workmanship and bright colors. Dozens of dancers are dancing amid the melodious music.

The musicians of the Bell and Drums Department played the bells, chimes, shengs, zhengs, lying qins, and Western musical instruments vertical qins and pipas. The momentum was vigorous and powerful, and the dance was sonorous and powerful.

During the meal, the guests were in high spirits and laughter kept coming. Teams of palace maids carried food plates to shuttle between the banquets, presenting delicious fat sheep and imperial wine from the palace.

On each table are decorated with exquisite and exquisite utensils from the palace, with drinkware inlaid with gold and jade, plates with white jade and double lotus, and bowls with tribute from Jingdezhen.

Xu Mingwu looked at him and smacked his lips, hoping to let one or two pieces go and wear them back and sell them for a good price!

The sauce was filled with the sauce and the aroma was scent. Xu Er, who was very excited, drank three glasses of wine in one breath, which was sweet and mellow, making him feel happy.

"Brother Xu, I'm so happy and so drunk! Come on, brother, I'll give you a drink!"

Zhu Daneng, who was sitting beside him, smiled and held the wine glass, "Brother, Your Majesty attaches great importance to you, don't lose your holy grace."

Xu Mingwu didn't refuse either and had a two-drawn cup with him.

Xuanye, who was beside him, was not willing to be lonely, and came to toast on his face.

Xu Mingwu looked at him and felt funny. How could he be so arrogant as a "Eternal Emperor"?

"Brother Xuanye, you can see that you are a person with ambitions. What are your plans for the future?"

When Xuanye heard this, he felt like he met a confidant? He had another three cups of tea. His face turned slightly red. He said, "Brother Xu was born in a villain and could be summoned by His Majesty to be a model for us. Xuanye is willing to learn from Brother Xu? Join the army and serve the country!"

Xu Mingwu nodded slightly? Xuanye is only thirteen years old this year? According to the enrollment conditions of the Huangming Military Academy, outstanding middle school students who are over 15 years old are eligible to register.

But the nobles of the Ming Dynasty enjoyed the priority of education? They had a great advantage in entering the Imperial Ming Military Academy. Although Xuanye was considered a concubine of the Anliao Duke's Mansion, he was also qualified.

But it is hard for Xu Mingwu to imagine that Kang Mazi actually wants to make achievements for the Ming Dynasty...

Haven’t you been quite awesome in history, and you killed all the Zhu Ming royal family? Now? There is a ready-made prince above, go and fuck him!

Xu Mingwu looked at the crown prince Zhu Hebi, who was the leader? The crown prince actually walked off the imperial throne, sat down at the lower throne and sat in the same seat with a young man, and was talking with a dancer.

The young man was not much different from the prince's age, and he looked more mature and hard, exuding a unique macho atmosphere.

Xu Mingwu put down the crystal cup and asked in a low voice: "Brother Da Ren, who is the one who is on the same table with the prince?"

Zhu Daneng pondered for a moment and said, "His name is Sun Zhiyuan, he is the legitimate son of Qin Gongsun Yingyuan. He grew up with the prince since childhood and is the person his highness trusts the most."

Zhu Daneng said again: "When Sun Zhiyuan was 16 years old, he followed the Qin State to pursuant to the southwest chieftains. He asked himself to lead the vanguard and even broke the five cities of the chieftains. He was the most famous of our noble children. Even Zhu Jing's thing should be respected in front of him!"

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

Among the second generation of the Ming Dynasty, almost all attended the Imperial Ming Military Academy, but very few of them actually attended the battlefield. Those who made achievements like Sun Zhiyuan were even more outstanding.

Xu Mingwu roughly learned about the war in the Ming army to pacify the southwest chieftains in the military academy, which happened in the fifteenth year of Tianwu.

In order to curb the power of the southwestern chieftains, Emperor Tianwu issued an order to change the land and return to the current, abolish the chieftain system in various ethnic minority areas in the southwest, and change the imperial court to directly rule the government, and implement the same local administrative system as the mainland.

The southwestern chieftain has been a trouble for the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years. He has caused trouble every now and then, held troops to respect the court, and threatened the court to obtain the greatest benefits. Almost all emperors of the Ming Dynasty sent troops to beat him up.

After the order to change the land and return to the flow was issued to Yunnan and Guizhou, the chieftains of Guangshun Changzhai first stood up and provoked the court. Then the Cen family of Tufu in Sicheng, Wei family of Donglan Tuzhou, Cen family of Suzhou in Tuzhou, Zhao family of Xialong, Zhao family of Tuzhou in Encheng, etc. successively stood up to raise troops to fight against the court, creating a huge momentum and quickly attacked the Guangxi area.

At the beginning of the 16th year of Tianwu, Emperor Tianwu ordered the Qin State Gongsun Yingyuan to be the commander and sent troops to quell the rebellion. He destroyed the chieftains of Guangshun Changzhai with a skillful force, and hung the heads of the chieftains' family on the city wall.

The Ming army made a concerted effort, and in one month, the rebellious Wumengtu prefect Lu Wanzhong, and the Zhenxiong prefect Longqinghou, used its deterrent force to remove all positions of several major chieftains, and changed them to Zhaotong Prefecture, and sent central officials.

The collapse of several major chieftain regimes shocked other large and small chieftains in western Guizhou. The chieftains handed over their seals and weapons to the court, and were dismissed from the local office and sent to the place to be resettled.

Since then, all the southwestern chieftain regimes have been replaced by the liberated official system, which has enabled the Ming Dynasty to strengthen its rule in western Hunan, Yun, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces to be epicly strengthened, and it has achieved unprecedented achievements in previous generations!

However, after that war, Qin Gongsun Yingyuan suffered from a serious illness and resigned from all positions in the Southern Army Governor's Office, and focused on returning to Beijing to raise soldiers. The Southern Army Governor's Office was newly appointed as the Grand Governor's Office.

The battle in the southwest made the vanguard Sun Zhiyuan famous. Because his father Sun Yingyuan resigned and retired, Emperor Tianwu promoted him to the fifth-rank regiment commander of the Central Army Governor's Office.

Xu Mingwu looked at the people around the prince again and asked about their identities one by one.

"That big man who looks stupid, named Xu Zhanpeng, is the son of Wu'an Gong Xu Sheng. He is now the fifth-rank prince of Zhan Shifu. He is the personal guard of His Highness."

"That lean guy, named Li Zheng, is the son of Duke Li Tingbiao of Zhongwu, and serves as the eyes of His Royal Highness. This kid was born in the Jinyiwei family, and was full of bad water and was very silly..."

Zhu Daneng beeped in a low voice, and it can be seen that he was very afraid of the Jinyiwei.

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

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

This term of prince is comfortable to be a prince. He has a strong foundation as a civil servant and military general, a general who can fight, an intelligence player from the Jinyiwei, and a professional guard.

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

To be honest, if the Emperor Tianwu who is responsible for a lot of troubles a day will return to heaven, the prince will easily take office!

But then again, if the emperor trained the prince in this way, if he lived too long, would the prince who was gradually becoming more and more prosperous would be in a hurry?

After all, the relationship between the emperor and the prince has been very sensitive in all dynasties...

......

The banquet in Chunhe Palace continued. After thirty years of drinking, teams of palace maids came again with wine vessels.

They walked along the way, with wide sleeves, silk towels fluttering, long skirts swaying, and then professionally standing on each table.

Prince Zhu Hebi stood up with a golden cup and said, "This wine is the wine that the father loves. I am lucky to be given to you. I will share it with you today!"

The hall immediately gave a burst of cheers and praised the prince.

Xu Mingwu looked at the wine in his glass and smelled it, and knew that the thing was wine. He was about to touch his mouth and taste it, but he heard the prince speak again.

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

Xu Mingwu put down his cup and was speechless. He drank just by drinking, and even made comments. It wasn’t live streaming to sell goods. Is it necessary?

As soon as the prince finished speaking, he jumped up. Xu Mingwu looked up and saw that it was the dog-licking Zhu Jing who had warned him.

Zhu Daneng snorted coldly: "This guy likes to show off and show himself!"

"I can see it." Xu Mingwu responded.

Zhu Jing raised his glass, sniffed it first, then took a sip, and then made a smacking sound of his lips.

"This wine has a clear and transparent color, a faint smell like orchid, a full and pure taste, refreshing fragrance, soft and lasting, endless aftertaste and full of charm. Just a bite of it, it seems like you are in heaven and earth, and you can't extricate yourself!"

Xu Mingwu rolled his eyes. If a gentleman tasted wine like this, he would feel a little immersive. This guy was so tough that he said this with a wine glass, and it felt obviously something was wrong!

What is full and lasting, and it cannot extricate itself from heaven and earth...

Xu Mingwu suddenly thought wrongly.

Zhu Jing smiled faintly and continued to shake his head and said, "This wine is the best among the wines. If you guessed it well, this wine is an authentic wine from Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province!"

The prince smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi has a good understanding. This wine comes from Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi!"

Wine culture has a history of more than two thousand years in China. Since Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, he brought back the brewing method. During the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Jing destroyed Gaochang Kingdom and obtained the horse milk grape varieties and wine making method. Li Shimin even planted grapes in the imperial palace and personally participated in the wine making.

During the Yuan Dynasty, ancient Chinese wine culture reached its peak. The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty loved Portugal very much. The Yuan Dynasty Emperors built wine rooms in the palace and stipulated that wine must be used to worship the Taimiao. Vines were also opened in Taiyuan, Shanxi and Nanjing, Jiangsu.

Since then, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province has become a wine brewing base, and it is also responsible for external sales, and the supply is in short supply.

According to irregular statistics, all emperors who can beat him in all dynasties have enjoyed this. Even Kang Mazi has developed the habit of drinking a glass of wine every day and has been drinking until he dies.

After being praised by the prince, Zhu Jing looked excited and quite contented. He looked at Princess Zhaoyang, the head of the opposite side, raised his glass and smiled, "I wish you this glass of wine forever, and you will be in a long life!"

Zhu Zhiwei smiled faintly and nodded slightly to indicate.

“he tui!”

Xu Mingwu spat at the spittoon beside him and muttered: "Listen Dog!"

Zhu Jing swept through everyone and found Xu Ershao who was indifferent, so he said, "Young Master Xu Ershao, why not give me some comments?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingwu smiled, glanced at him, picked up the wine glass and whispered.

Many nobles in the hall looked at him, wanting to see how Xu Ershen, who was in the limelight recently, commented on whether there was any outstanding performance, especially a woman wearing a veil during the meal, who was very concerned about it.

Zhu Daneng beside him looked at Brother Xu for a long time and asked, "How?"

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

The air in the hall seemed to solidify, and a brief silence appeared, followed by a whisper. Many people began to point fingers at Xu Mingwu, saying words such as insulting and politeness.

Princess Zhaoyang Zhu Zhiwei was actually amused. The unhappiness just now was wiped out, and the smile on her cheeks was rippling with radiant glow.
