Chapter 51 Xu Tiande, let's become relatives (seeking follow-up reading, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets)

Mu Ying, the future Marquis of Xiping, Duke of Qian, and King of Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to this identity, Mu Ying is also the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma, and has been raised by them since childhood.

Therefore, the three Zhu Gang brothers called Mu Ying "big brother" since childhood.

"Brother will be back soon, right?"

As he spoke, a smile flashed across Zhu Biao's face again.

"Well, it's coming back soon."

When talking about Mu Ying, a smile appeared on Old Zhu's face.

"Brother is about to return to the court?"

As for Zhu Gang's eyes, a hint of contemplation flashed across them.

According to historical developments, Mu Ying should still be training troops in Guanshan at this time.

Subsequently, the remnants of the Tibetans robbed the tribute envoys from U-Tsang, which angered Zhu Yuanzhang, who prepared to send troops to attack the Tibetans.

Mu Ying served as the deputy general of the Western Expedition and followed Weiguo Duke Deng Yu to the expedition against Tubo.

In particular, Mu Ying was granted the title of Marquis of Xiping because of this battle.

However, it was also a battle in which a star general fell, because on the way back to the capital, Duke Deng Yu of Weiguo died of illness.

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into tears and suspended court for three days. He even personally welcomed the coffin and held a memorial ceremony for Deng Yu. He also posthumously conferred the title of King of Ninghe on Deng Yu, with the posthumous name of Wushun, and allowed him to be enshrined in the Taimiao.

"Then Deng Zhen and Tang Ding are indeed not suitable for being conferred titles now."

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Gang turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and said thoughtfully: "Let's wait a little longer."

If the person that Old Zhu brought up today was not Mu Ying, Zhu Gang could still argue with reason.

But once Old Zhu moved Mu Ying out, Zhu Gang really had to consider his brother's face.

But there is still room for buffering this matter. After all, Mu Ying is about to return to the court. So this time, it is better not to let Deng Yu go to the expedition against Tubo.

He appointed Mu Ying as the main general, Deng Zhen and Tang Ding as deputy generals, and sent troops to attack Tubo.

In this way, not only his brother could be granted the title of nobility, but even Deng Zhen and Tang Ding could also be granted titles for their merits.

After all, at the beginning, what Zhu Gang wanted to ask for for his brother was not the title of marquis, but the title of earl.

"Yes, but we will not treat the Deng family boy and the Tang family boy unfairly. When they return to the court, we will also entrust them with important tasks."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Gang's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "As for their contributions in the grassland conquest, remember them for now."

"it is good."

Zhu Gang nodded slightly.

"It seems that the second generation of generals of our Ming Dynasty will be able to take charge in the future."

After Zhu Gang finished speaking, Xu Da picked up the wine cup, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said with a smile: "This is a blessing for our Ming Dynasty."

"It would have been better if I had sent those two brats of mine to Taiyuan. Now thinking about them gives me a headache."

Chang Yuchun also picked up the wine cup, but spoke in a bad mood.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. It's also a matter of time and fate. After all, think about it, weren't Deng Yu and Tang He mad at the time?"

"But what about now? I guess those two would wake up laughing in their dreams."

Xu Da also said with some emotion.

When Zhu Gang left Beijing in the past, he did not take Tang Ding and Deng Zhen with him, but the two brothers were stubborn and followed him all the way to Taiyuan.

At that time, Deng Yu and Tang He were so angry that they almost severed their father-son relationship with them.

But no one would have expected that today's Deng Zhen and Tang Ding would be the first among the second generation of Huaixi to become famous on the grassland.

"As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son. In a few years, I will send them to the army to gain some experience."

"One day, I will become the backbone of our Ming Dynasty."

Seeing his old brother sighing like this, Zhu Yuanzhang also picked up the wine cup and said with a smile.

Afterwards, after Lao Zhu and the other two drank it all, they all looked at Zhu Gang at the same time.

"Master, Uncle Xu, don't worry."

"After I finish dealing with the government affairs of the court, I will take them to the military camp for training." Zhu Gang immediately understood what they meant, and he patted his chest and said with a smile.

Zhu Gang knew Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's thoughts very well.

Isn't it just that you want Zhu Gang to teach the two brothers Xu Yungong and Chang Mao and Chang Sheng a lesson? Isn't that an easy task?
"Then I will hand our eldest son over to your hands."

Before Zhu Gang finished speaking, Xu Da looked directly at him, as if he was afraid that Zhu Gang would go back on his word.

"We don't expect them to become famous generals, but they can't be weaker than Deng Zhen and Tang Ding."

"After all, I have never been defeated by Tang He and Deng Yu in my life, so how can I lose face in front of my son?"

Chang Yuchun even put his arm around Zhu Gang's shoulders before speaking.

The Huaixi nobles were brothers in life and death on the battlefield, so naturally their feelings were extremely deep.

Therefore, it is normal to act like a spoiled brat from time to time, and even Zhu Yuanzhang has become accustomed to it.

But once they are on the battlefield, they are still good brothers who can protect each other.

"You are such killers."

"When I was young, I loved to compare myself with others. Now I am comparing myself with my sons."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, then looked at Chang Yuchun and Xu Da and scolded with a smile: "Damn it, can't you just be quiet?"

"Haha, old brother, you really are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man."

In response to this, Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with some dissatisfaction.

"That's it."

Xu Da also looked at Old Zhu with great dissatisfaction and echoed: "You think everyone is like your sons, each one is better than the other, especially the eldest and the third son."

Zhu Xi: "?"

"Hahaha."

When these words were spoken, coupled with Zhu Chong's resentful expression, Zhu Gang and Zhu Biao actually laughed out loud.

"Our second child is also very good."

Empress Ma reached out her hand and gently pinched Zhu Chong's cheek, then smiled softly and said, "You are all excellent, and you are all good children of your mother."

When Zhu Chong heard this, the resentment on his face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a look of pride.

“It’s really excellent.”

Zhu Gang was also slightly stunned, then nodded.

Compared to the Qin King Zhu Chong in history, the current Zhu Chong is a thousand times better, so how can he not be excellent?

"Alright, alright, they are all our good sons."

"As for Tiande and Boren's sons, we have watched them grow up, and we are also familiar with their virtues."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the warm scene in front of him, and a smile flashed across his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "So even if there is no third child in our family, there will definitely be great achievements in the future."

"That's true. I will always be my big brother's right-hand man in the future."

In response, Zhu Gang put his arm around Zhu Biao's shoulders again and then smiled.

Hearing this, Zhu Biao just nodded and didn't say anything more.

But everyone present understood what Zhu Gang meant, and a hint of relief flashed in their eyes.

"It's time to talk business."

Zhu Yuanzhang then cleared his throat twice, and while Xu Da was puzzled, he took Xu Da's hand and said, "Tian De, let's get married."

“Hmm?? Ah!”

Xu Da's face immediately turned green!

Coincidentally, at this moment, the roast goose that Queen Ma specially prepared for Xu Da was also brought to the table by Taoer.

Suddenly, Xu Da's face turned even greener!
