Chapter 10 Birthday Banquet

Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday came soon, and a birthday banquet was specially held in the palace. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's 66th birthday. In addition to the attendance of civil and military officials, foreign envoys even attended. The princes and ministers competed to offer treasures to win Zhu Yuanzhang's joy. However, among the princes, this became a comparison. After all, these gifts not only represent their filial piety, but also their economic strength. This means that the gifts prepared were too shabby and would be looked down upon.

"Second brother, is your gift a colorful glass pagoda? It is said that it is one of the three sacred objects in the Buddha's Kingdom?"

"Third brother, you have really good eyesight. I am indeed a colorful glass pagoda. According to legend, this pagoda can protect the owner's longevity and health."

"Second brother, you are really filial."

"Third brother, your gift is also good."

"My gift is the Longquan Sword made by Ou Yezi. My father has become a civil and military virtue, and only he deserves the Emperor's Sword here."

Although the princes prepared very good gifts, they were really far from what these two wealthy princes prepared, and they didn't even dare to approach them.

"Isn't this the fourth brother?"

"That's right!"

The King of Qin and King of Jin stopped King Yan. It seemed that they must have come to cause trouble for him or ridicule him. Because they thought that King of Yan would definitely not find a better gift than them.

"King Yan, I wonder what gifts you have prepared?"

"Two brothers, I did prepare a gift, but this gift can only be presented in front of my father."

As soon as King Yan Zhu Di's words fell, a loud voice rang behind him. Zhu Yuanzhang actually appeared in front of everyone at this time and he actually asked King Yan Zhu Di what gift he had given him.

"King Yan, what gift do you give me?"

"Father, my gift is wheat ears."

King Yan Zhu Di took out the gift he had already prepared in front of everyone, but when he took out the gift, the King of Qin and King of Jin beside him couldn't help laughing.

"Ears of wheat? Can this be used as a gift?"

"Fourth brother, if you really have difficulties, you can still help."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the King of Qin and King of Jin ridicule the King of Yan and couldn't help but cough a few times, and soon they also closed their mouths with a eye-catching look.

"King Yan, can you tell me what this gift means?"

"Father, look at how full the ears of wheat are, these are a great harvest."

The King of Yan told Zhu Yuanzhang that the harvest was coming across the country, and the fief of the King of Yan was even more so. Finally, the King of Yan told him that all the grains in his fief were transported here. In fact, these millions of dans of grain were the gifts he gave to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Okay! OK! Very good! I like the gift from King Yan..."

"Father, just be happy!"

"Of course I'm happy."

The generous gift from the King of Yan really made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy, because the war in the northwest was tight, Zhu Yuanzhang's most shortage was food. The food sent by the King of Yan was simply a timely help. With these foods, Zhu Yuanzhang was very sure to win the war.

The birthday party began soon, and everyone was very happy, but the King of Qin and King of Jin looked unlucky. After all, they were so embarrassed just now. The King of Yan could be said to be the leader, but he did not expect that his limelight would be blocked by others at once, and this person was actually Zhu Yunwen.

"Yunwen, what gift did you prepare for Grandpa Emperor?"

"Grandpa Emperor, I have prepared two gifts for Grandpa Emperor, but I only brought one today and this gift will be delivered until dark."

"It's not delivered until dark."

Zhu Yunwen was mysterious and made everyone unable to figure out what he was doing. However, only the Crown Princess around him knew which he was singing, and it soon became dark. Zhu Yuanzhang took his ministers to the back garden according to Zhu Yunwen's arrangement. After waiting for a long time, he had not waited for the gift, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a little anxious because he was worried that Zhu Yunwen would make a fool of himself.

"Yunwen, is your gift not ready yet?"

"Grandpa Emperor, just enjoy it under the pavilion, and my gift will be delivered soon."

Zhu Yunwen left with a dozen guards, and they lit torches at the same time. Then a wonder appeared in front of everyone. The fireworks in the sky illuminated the entire sky, and the colorful fireworks like starlight, attracting everyone like dreams. It can be said that Zhu Yunwen brought everyone a miracle. Zhu Yuanzhang was also very excited to see these fireworks. Although his subordinates had told him about the fireworks, they were still very shocked when they saw them today.

"Yunwen, what is this?"

"Grandpa Emperor, this thing is fireworks, learned from a Gentile."

"I see."

"Grandpa Emperor, in addition to this gift, I have a big surprise for you."

"A big surprise?" Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious. After all, this gift is not bad, and the next gift is even more amazing.

"Grandpa Emperor, if you have time that day, come here with your confidants, I will show you this big surprise."

Zhu Yuanzhang is an extremely smart person. From Zhu Yunwen's tone, he knew that his gift was not simple and that Zhu Yunwen didn't want to know it for outsiders, which also shows the importance of this gift. Zhu Yuanzhang is increasingly unable to understand his precious grandson. From the magical weapons he invented at the beginning, he knew that his grandson was hidden.

"Yunwen, then I'll go see that big surprise when I have time."

"Okay, Grandpa Emperor."

This time it was King Yan's turn to be a shady face, but he was unhappy but made King Qin and King Jin very happy. They even compared Zhu Yunwen with King Yan.

"Second brother, you said that no matter how smart some people are, they can only be on the ground, and the ones in the sky are invisible."

"Third brother, how can you say that? It's called "down to earth."

"Down to earth? Isn't this something that civilians do every day?"

The words of these two brothers were heartbroken and hurt the heart of the King of Yan. In the end, the King of Yan really couldn't help it and had to leave first because he was sick. Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to keep him, but he just thought about it and let the King of Yan stayed hard and couldn't save anything at all. Maybe it would intensify the conflict.

"Okay, you'll go back first."

"Thank you, Father."

The King of Yan left with hatred. Although he hated King Qin and King Jin very much, he wrote all his resentment on Zhu Yunwen. This is the fact that everyone often says that since Yu is born, he is born in the world, and the King of Yan and Zhu Yunwen are destined to be mortal enemies. No one can change it. Even Zhu Yuanzhang could clearly feel the hatred of King Yan towards Zhu Yunwen, but facing such an excellent son, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer kill him.
