First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 83: Good brother-in-law

   The man yelled two vigorously, but he was dizzy. Fortunately for his son to hold him on, he didn't fall down.

   He looked up at the plaque of the government office, and suddenly trembled in panic...I was really confused. This is the prefect office, where can he come?

   I just wanted to focus on the heavy eight in it, but I forgot Wang Fa, besides whether there is heavy eight in it, it is not necessarily... Thinking of this, the man grabbed his son and turned his head to run.

   He staggered for a few steps, and a soldier came out and caught up with them.

   "Brother, something?"

   When Li Zhen saw the soldiers, her legs were soft, and she just screamed twice in the wild. Isn't that fatal!

   He can only lower his head and mutter: "No, no..."

The soldier looked at him and looked at the young man next to him. The soldier said, "Brother, don't be afraid. The superior has already ordered it. The yamen will tell you any wrongdoing. Just come and someone will call the shots. Even if there is no wrongdoing, It’s okay to come to the yamen for comments. The superiors will come to ask in person when they are free, and several gentlemen will come from time to time. You can go in with me, drink some water, rest your feet, and speak slowly."

  The soldier had a kind tone and smiled all over his face. Li Zhen really hesitated a bit. Is this still a Yamen soldier?

   Did you meet a Bodhisattva?

   Li Zhen and his son were led into the room next to the second hall by the soldiers and asked them to sit down. Then the soldiers brought tea and a small plate of jujube cakes.

   Seeing the food, Li Bao'er's saliva couldn't help but shed, and Li Zhen couldn't help swallowing, "This, this is for us?"

   The soldier smiled and nodded. Li Zhen summoned his courage and stretched out his hand to grab a piece. He wanted to deliver it to his mouth. Halfway through, his hand stopped and gave it to his son.

   "Eat, eat!"

Li Baoer took it in her hand. When the half-and-half child was most able to eat, he ate three bites in two, which was not enough to stuff his teeth... Li Zhen kept looking at the soldier and saw that he just laughed, and she didn’t mean anything else, hurriedly He grabbed another piece and handed it to his son. He also grabbed one piece and ate it.

   The jujube is fragrant, soft and sweet, so delicious!

   The two ate all the jujube cakes on the plate, drank the hot tea, and finally recovered a little energy. He curiously asked, "It weighs eight miles? Did he tell you to bring it to us?"

The soldier smiled, "I don't know who Chongba is. This is all ordered by the superior. At these times, to clear the wrong prison and divide the fields equally, there will be disputes. The superior allows the people to come to the yamen to redress their grievances. The husband asked us to prepare this house. , Tell us that you must be polite and kind to the villagers, listen carefully, write down any issues, or opinions, and then find a solution."

   The soldier smiled and said, "How about, do you father and son have grievances?"

   Li Zhen grinned. If he was wronged, of course he was wronged. The family has mixed up like this. Can he not be wronged? But the most urgent thing is to see Chongba... By the way, Li Zhen suddenly remembered that when she was in Xuyi, she heard that Chongba seemed to have changed her name... By the way, it's called Zhu Yuanzhang!

   Li Zhen patted his forehead and said hurriedly: "I, I want to see Zhu Yuanzhang! I am his brother-in-law! This, this is his nephew!"

   The soldiers were slightly startled, and they recognized their relatives. This is not uncommon. In the past, many folks from Haozhou came to seek refuge, but they didn't have any close relatives.

   But since it involves the upper ranks, you can't be reckless... The soldier nodded and agreed. Instead of looking for Zhu Yuanzhang, he went to the signing room next to the government office. By coincidence, Zhang Ximeng was here.

   He said something about it, and Zhang Ximeng couldn't help being surprised.

   Not long ago, he was still planning for Zhu Wenzheng, why did Li Wenzhong come first?

   Zhang Ximeng hurried over and saw the Li family father and son.

   As the saying goes, it's not true. After Li Zhen said a few words, Zhang Ximeng decisively asked Zhu Yuanzhang to invite him.

   Li Zhen only married Zhu Yuanzhang's second sister at the age of thirty-five, and had his son Li Wenzhong the following year.

   At this age, she can still get married and can afford to marry a young wife. Li Zhen's family is very good, at least above the well-off level.

  Zhu Yuanzhang had two older sisters. After the eldest sister got married, she was like a kite that was disconnected from the family, and over time, Zhu Yuanzhang died as her eldest sister.

   The so-called relationship between relatives, about this.

   does not take it for granted, only compares the heart to the heart.

   Li Zhen often helped his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, and Zhu Yuanzhang also got a lot of benefits by the way. He respected the second brother-in-law very much.

   It was only after a catastrophe that Li Zhen's hometown in Xuyi was also affected, and he was unable to take care of his father-in-law's family... That's why the old Zhu's family was destroyed and he had to go to become a monk.

   Almost ten years have passed since Zhu Yuanzhang has been sitting on tens of thousands of soldiers and has become a small prince, but Li Zhen is his wife who died, and all her family properties are ruined. She can only bring her son to beg all the way to ask for protection from Lao Zhu.

   Zhang Ximeng asked him to cook the lotus soup again, and let the two of you eat first. People who are hungry for a long time can't eat too much at once, so they have to recover slowly.

   "The superiors have never forgotten you. Some time ago, they sent people to look for them. It was just a mess. It's not that easy to find someone."

   Li Zhen nodded immediately, "Who said no! The unjust king surnamed Zhao looted all day long and did not do personnel affairs. The people hated him! I and Bao'er were almost arrested."

   The surnamed Zhao, the unjust king?

   Zhang Ximeng thought for a while, "Yongyi King Zhao Jun used it, right?"

   "Yes, this beast! He is too bad, bad smoke..." Li Zhen gritted his teeth.

   was talking like this, suddenly heard rapid footsteps, and then a tall figure came in.

   "Brother-in-law!"

   Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the person, and suddenly ran over in two steps and grabbed Li Zhen. Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment. After careful identification, he reached out and hugged Zhu Yuanzhang.

   Two men who were twice as old hugged each other.

   was crying and laughing again, which made Zhang Ximeng's eyes red.

   Old Zhu separated from his brother-in-law for a while, only then did he notice the boy next to him, and said in surprise: "This, this is Baoer? Is this big?"

   Li Zhen nodded, and hurriedly pulled Li Baoer over to salute her uncle.

   Zhu Yuanzhang took Li Baoer, looked and looked at it, like it very much.

Li Zhen gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Chongba, you are promising now. Listening to this gentleman, the elite soldiers alone are tens of thousands... My brother-in-law is old, I don’t know what. He died at that time, Baoer is helpless, you pity him, accept him as a righteous son, and help his brother-in-law raise him, even if I die, I am grateful for your great kindness!"

   said, Li Zhen fell to her knees.

   Zhu Yuanzhang immediately grabbed his brother-in-law.

   Speaking of it, Li Zhen’s idea is also common. If you change to the original old Zhu, you will definitely agree that if your nephew becomes a godson, the meat is rotten in the pot. What's wrong.

   But since Zhang Ximeng mentioned the history of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Lao Zhu couldn't help being more careful.

   Like Zhu Ying, Cun Cui has no blood relationship. It's easy to say that no one would think that Zhu Ying can inherit his foundation, but it is different if he is a nephew and a nephew.

   It's not that Lao Zhu doesn't like Li Baoer and doesn't respect her brother-in-law.

   It's just that it's a bit troublesome, it's better to prevent it early.

"Brother-in-law, get up, let's speak slowly..." After pulling up Li Zhen, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "As my brother-in-law said, you are too old, you may not be able to fill in another son. Baoer is the only seedling of your Li family. , Spreading branches and leaves, inheriting incense, all rely on him. Let’s put it this way, your son is our son, and we promise to kiss him better than our own son."

  Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said to Zhang Ximeng: "Sir, from now on, our nephew will be handed over to you. You must teach him how to read and write, and train him to become a talent."

   Zhang Ximeng was startled, how did you throw the burden on yourself because of this trouble?

   Before he could agree, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to blow up with Li Zhen.

   "Brother-in-law, don't look at Mr. Zhang's young age. He is a famous man and he is knowledgeable. If we can have today, he can contribute the most."

   In the conversation just now, Li Zhen had already seen Zhang Ximeng's unusualness, so he didn't dare to despise him.

   Now when he heard that his son should be allowed to study with someone else, he was immediately overjoyed, "Then the child will be entrusted to the husband, and regardless of the beating or scolding, the husband will be the master, but..."

   "It's just a little bit." Li Zhen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said, "I heard that many people have changed their names. I wonder if they should change one too?"

   "Change!" Zhu Yuanzhang said immediately: "Sir, what do you think our nephew is called?"

   "Lord, you let him study with me~www.novelmt.com~ Naturally, he wants to learn literature, so let's call Wenzhong!" Zhang Ximeng didn't bother too much.

   Zhu Yuanzhang touched, then looked at Li Zhen, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean?"

   "Li Wenzhong, Li Wenzhong! Good! I'll call it this name!"

   He hurriedly took his son and gave his husband a prayer.

   Zhang Ximeng can only accept it.

  Old Zhu Youzi carefully told her brother-in-law about Zhang Ximeng's birthplace and the strategies he had given him, which made Li Zhen stunned.

   My own son is fourteen this year, and he is two months older than Zhang Ximeng, but he is incomparable with others! My brother-in-law is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

"By the way, brother-in-law, since you are here, do you have any plans?" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We are not forcing you to work! If you don't want to do anything, we should support you, if you have something Ideas, speak out, and we will help you arrange them."

   Li Zhen thought for a long time, and then said: "You don't think brother-in-law is good... just to be a cook for a few days in the early years, so, can you let me take care of the cooking?"

   Old Zhu was slightly startled, "Brother-in-law, why do you want to do this?"

   Li Zhen grinned bitterly, he lifted up his torn clothes, revealing his shriveled abdomen, and smiled helplessly, "Nothing else, I'm so hungry!"

  Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, "Brother-in-law, do you manage the kitchen just to fill your stomach?"

   Li Zhen was a little dazed, and hurriedly explained: "Don't worry about it, I don't want to steal it, I, I just want to look at the food and vegetables, and I feel relieved when I look at..."

   Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Well, brother-in-law, let's take you to see our kitchen! I promise to scare you!"

   Li Zhen blinked his eyes. The kitchen is nothing but the kitchen. Who can scare him? I just don't believe it!
