Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Chapter 1289

Of course, this is a story for later.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was still clouded with worry, Lu Wei could only try to distract him by saying, "These are all still unseen matters. We don't know the whole picture here, so no matter how much we think about it, it's just wishful thinking. Why don't you look at something else, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang understood this principle as well.

He could only temporarily pull himself together and flip through the intelligence in his hand to continue reading. As it turned out, Lu Wei's attempt to distract him was quite effective.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have temporarily put aside his worries, and a smile appeared in his eyes and between his brows: "The third daughter of the Xu family, I remember her. She once came to the palace banquet with her family. She was exceptionally clever and witty even at a young age, and very likable. Look at this portrait... she has grown into an even more beautiful and charming young woman!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the portrait tucked inside the intelligence report with a smile and praised it highly.

Zhu Yunwen brought back a teenage girl from outside the palace alone, and even brought her to the Qianqing Palace, where she stayed until evening, and then had a meal together before being sent home... Of course, this matter could not be suppressed.

Of course, Zhu Yunwen didn't intend to suppress it.

Xu Miaojin will be frequently entering and leaving the palace in the future, and she will take the opportunity to teach that group of mathematics PhDs. She will have to make her appearance sooner or later.

As people grow old, they long for a house full of children and grandchildren, let alone those who are royalty.

Seeing their grandson blossom.

Zhu Yuanzhang was genuinely delighted.

After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, his expression becoming increasingly satisfied. He narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Although I feel that marrying the daughters of noble families does indeed pose a great risk, and I have mentioned this matter in the Imperial Ancestral Instructions, in this extraordinary period, it is more appropriate to have daughters from noble families. At least in the future... Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, who has a certain influence in the army, will surely be loyal to the death."

Zhu Yuanzhang was happy that his eldest grandson finally had a suitable concubine.

On the other hand, he was also considering the political implications—why did he feel so worried when he saw Zhu Yunwen about to do something big? Wasn't it because he was afraid that his eldest grandson wasn't quite up to the task?

Seeing that Zhu Yunwen had won over Xu Da's faction, he naturally felt much more at ease.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said with satisfaction, "It's fortunate that this child has always liked to be unconventional. If he had followed our 'Imperial Ancestral Instructions of the Ming Dynasty' in everything, I'm afraid he wouldn't have dared to marry the daughter of a noble family in order to win over the power and influence behind them."

"Often, we can't just blindly follow the old ways when doing things."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang put Xu Miaojin's portrait aside and continued reading, a faint smile on his face, clearly in a good mood.

However, the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.

He even twitched his lips, his expression full of helplessness: "That's it? You brought them to the Qianqing Palace just to chat? After dinner, it was barely dark when you sent Xu Da's third daughter back to the Duke of Wei's mansion?"

Regarding Zhu Yunwen's actions.

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his utter incomprehension: Even if you were to be a little more refined and not immediately take the wife into your household, you should at least start making arrangements for Xu Da's three daughters, whether to make them empresses or concubines... the procedures should be about right by now!

Zhu Yuanzhang read on and on.

His brows furrowed even more deeply: "Ha! That brat! And then he just disappeared without a trace! Ugh... He even made that girl... teach some kind of mathematics PhD... What the hell is all this nonsense?"

"How old is this little girl? How old and experienced are those mathematics PhDs? It's more appropriate for the little girl to learn from them. This brat doesn't do anything serious, but instead he's making the third daughter of the Xu family teach them? Can he even teach them properly?"
