"Empress, you are polite." Chen Feng half-kneeled in front of a table. This was also the etiquette of high-end banquet occasions in this era. Seeing Empress Ma come to toast him in person, he couldn't help but say.

It would be fine if he went to the harem to accompany the emperor to have dinner, but Chen Feng did not expect that it was the emperor and his wife who accompanied him to have dinner. In addition to the emperor, there was also Queen Ma.

This place of food has also become Kunning Palace.

Chen Feng felt a little unnatural. Empress Ma was already in her forties at this time. As a person who suffered from childhood, she had already shown some old attitude at this time. The palace maids used by Empress Ma were almost the same. Needless to say, they were pleasing to the eye, at most they would not be unable to eat.

Now that Empress Ma came to pour wine for him in person, Chen Feng couldn't bear it even more at ease.

"This is all right. Since you and Chongba got married for brothers, you have been helping Chongba. In order to drive away the Tartars, and to make great contributions to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. I, Ma Xiuying, although a woman, always admires you very much. Besides, with Huihui's relationship, we are all real in-laws. Unfortunately, you have been guarding the border and rarely gather with Chongba's brothers." Ma Xiuying said: "Today, I finally got together, and I wish you a cup."

Seeing Ma Xiuying being so polite, Chen Feng was helpless. Seeing her filling the wine bottle, Chen Feng was so happy that he raised the wine bottle to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, since that's the case, then Brother Feng will do it first."

I tilted my head and a glass of wine, and I drank it into my stomach.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a donkey face full of pockmarks, and he was also a little blushed at this time. Queen Ma understood what he meant very much. This time he came to ask Chen Feng to have dinner together, which was actually to enhance their feelings for each other.

Chen Feng has been fighting abroad, and has made more and more achievements. At the same time, there are more and more rumors. After all, the great achievements are shocking to the master, which is a terrible thing in any era.

Because of these, the two sides seemed to have some diametrical silences, although they were still intimate on the surface.

And now, this dinner in the palace has a lot of meaning.

"Brother Emperor, the country of the Ming Dynasty is our brothers. We must work together to protect the world of our Han people."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Chen Feng immediately bowed down: "Your Majesty, I am very pleased that I am grateful to have received the favor of the emperor. As for the world, it belongs to the emperor. I cannot be arrogant, nor can I be on an equal footing with the emperor. Please take back what I just said."

Chen Feng naturally knew that those words were just Zhu Yuanzhang said casually. If he really believed them, he would be a fool. Power has always been disoriented and obsessed. For power, brothers can turn against each other. At the beginning, did Li Shimin kill his brother who conquers the world together in order to be the emperor? What's more, he was a charity and was not a brother at all.

"It's just how old I am older than you, and I've become my elder brother, so I've only sat in this position. Originally, with your talents, it's actually appropriate for you to sit in this position." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know if he was drinking too much and his words became more and more endless.

"I am afraid. Please take back what the emperor said just now. The emperor also knows that what I like most is to be a wealthy businessman and do business all over the world. When we are in great harmony and peace, I will resign from all positions and become my own wealthy businessman. I also want to go to Great Britain to take a look and go to Nanyang for a walk." Chen Feng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied when he heard Chen Feng's words. He just said that, he just took advantage of Chen Feng's drinking too much and tested him. If he showed even a sense of righteousness, Zhu Yuanzhang would be suspicious.

Now, Chen Feng’s answer is very appropriate and reasonable. Judging from Chen Feng’s pursuit, he really likes doing business.

Great Britain is also very interesting. A businesswoman who pesters Chen Feng all day long came from Great Britain.

"I have reported to the emperor that since ancient times, we have always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. Only the emperor, you have changed this measure. Now, in our Ming Dynasty, the people's taxes are very small. It is precisely because of this that our agriculture can develop as soon as possible. Taxation of merchants has greatly increased our taxes. As long as we keep this policy, in another five years, our Ming Dynasty will definitely become the most powerful." Chen Feng seemed to have drunk too much and began to make demands on Zhu Yuanzhang: "I am here to dare to ask the emperor to include the words "never add the quota" in the Ming Dynasty's governance strategy."

Never add taxes! When he heard these four words, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be shocked. He remembered his childhood. The reason why he was so miserable was because of the heavy taxes and corvee. All the harvests from his family were taken away by taxes. As a result, the brothers starved to death.

Now, with light taxation, the people have lived a good life. If this state is to continue, then this tax must be maintained.

Not only myself, but my future emperors must not add taxes! Although Chen Feng seemed to be a little more responsible, in fact, these were indeed for the sake of the ever-lasting foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

"The emperor said it very well, never add taxes!" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I will announce it in the morning court tomorrow that this is a national law of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Empress of Concubine Wang has arrived." At this moment, suddenly, a eunuch's notice came from outside.

Hearing this, Chen Feng was stunned for a moment. What's going on with this woman? Are you blatantly coming to find me in front of the emperor?

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang is depressed about whether the boss is a bastard. If Zhu Yuanzhang sees some clues, that would be bad!

Thinking of this, Chen Feng was unhappy, but nothing could be expressed on his face.

"I'm here to see the emperor, Empress, Prince Chen has been esteemed for a long time." Concubine Wang came in and said.

"I met my father, queen, and Prince Chen." A child next to Concubine Wang said.

At this time, this child was nearly four feet tall. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a five or six-year-old child.

"It made Prince Chen laugh. Di'er talked about Prince Chen's war all day long. Today I heard that Prince Chen stayed in the palace for dinner, so I insisted on pestering me and coming over. I couldn't stop me, so I brought Di'er over." Concubine Wang said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Concubine Wang say this, his eyes lit up: "Di'er, come to the father's place."

Zhu Di was not afraid at all, so he walked over with great strides.

"Di'er, do you admire Prince Chen very much?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Of course, Prince Chen is one of the top generals in our Ming Dynasty. He has never lost his life in war. His father, Di'er, wants to follow Prince Chen and learn the skills of marching and fighting." Zhu Di said.

Although Zhu Di is still a child in terms of age, now speaking like this, he feels full of a general spirit, just like Xiang Yu, who has to learn to marching and fight!

Hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes were a little twitching. What was Zhu Di thinking?

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed: "Di'er, why don't you want to learn the art of governing the country?"

"Those are all the sayings of Zhihu. Father, did you rely on those techniques of governing the country when you conquer the world? It depends on fists and swords! In the future, even if the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and the people are safe, you will still be wary of the turmoil on the border. My sons will learn to fight and fight. At that time, you can protect the stability of my Ming Dynasty."

"Okay, I am worthy of being my son of Zhu Yuanzhang!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

The question just now was actually very dangerous. Chen Feng saw it through it at a glance. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Di if he was willing to learn the art of governing the country. In fact, he was asking him whether he wanted to be the emperor.

Even if the eldest is not his biological son, there is still a second son. If Zhu Di directly said that he wanted to be the emperor, it would undoubtedly arouse Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion. The child's words are the most unrestrained and the most realistic.

Now, Zhu Di said that he wanted to learn the art of fighting to protect the stability of the Ming Dynasty. This statement naturally made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied.

Even Queen Ma, who was standing beside her, was nodding frequently.

Once, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to mention Zhu Di as the crown prince, but later, Zhu Yuanzhang finally gave up because the rules that have been passed down for thousands of years were orderly in the old and young.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought, "But, if you go to learn the art of war with Prince Chen, you can't stay in Yingtian and go to most of the north. There is very cold winter, biting cold wind and yellow sand everywhere. Can you suffer?"

Zhu Di nodded: "Father, Di'er can endure all kinds of hardships in order to learn the art of war."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had intentionally sent Zhu Di to him, Chen Feng suddenly had some bad premonition in his heart. Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang had a premeditation!

"Brother Emperor, look, Di'er is very close to you. Are you willing to teach Di'er the art of fighting?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The third prince is kind-hearted, talented and well-developed. If he learns the art of fighting, he is probably the most suitable among the princes. If he can teach the art of fighting, it is also an honor for the minister." Chen Feng said.

Chen Feng didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, so he could only tell the truth.

"Okay, then I will appoint Di'er as King of Yan, follow you to Dadu and learn the art of fighting!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Concubine Wang shook her body. She didn't expect that the emperor would agree so easily, agree to his child, and follow Chen Feng to Dadu!

From then on, you no longer have to worry about Di'er's safety. Prince Chen will protect Di'er. "Okay, OK, Prince Chen, Di'er will always follow you from now on. Di'er will become a great hero!" Zhu Di clapped his hands happily. King Yan! Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's lips trembled and said these two words, Chen Feng's heart was also bright. At first, he didn't know, but now, he finally understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had this idea!
