Chapter 1173 This is the consequence of provoking the Ming Dynasty!
Ever since Yang Baobei came into the family, Yang Shaofeng now looks at everyone as if they were Huang Mao's father.
The black sesame glutinous rice ball looks like Huang Mao's father.
The second, third, and fifth brothers of Zhu family also resembled him.
The Chang brothers also look alike.
Li Qi and Liu Lian are similar.
The most crucial one is still Old Deng.
Old Deng is certainly not like Huang Mao's father, but Old Deng is very much like Huang Mao's grandfather!
Every day, someone from the palace would send over something, and Yang Shaofeng suspected that Lao Deng was after his daughter.
Of course, Old Deng did think about Yang Baobei every day.
"Why isn't the baby a month old yet?"
Emperor Zhu gazed longingly at Yang Jinyu, who was being held in Empress Ma's arms, and kept muttering, "Once the baby is a month old, we'll bring her into the palace to stay for a few days."
“Staying here in the Prince Consort’s mansion every day, my darling will definitely get bored.”
"Besides, we don't get to visit our baby very often, so our baby will definitely miss Grandpa and Grandma."
"..."
Empress Ma ignored Emperor Zhu and simply held Yang Baobei and gently rocked her.
Black Sesame Dumpling jumped in to chime in, "Baby will definitely miss Uncle too!"
Zhu Lao Er, Zhu Lao San, and Zhu Lao Wu surrounded Empress Ma, nodding in unison.
What's so good about the Prince Consort's residence?
Are there so many uncles in the Prince Consort's mansion who dote on their precious child?
Look at our baby's big eyes, and look at our baby's little mouth. The whole little one is so sweet and soft, so adorable!
Yang Shaofeng was almost driven mad by Lao Deng and the Zhu brothers.
You're all thinking about a baby who's only a few days old, not even a month old yet?
You guys are so annoying to look at!
Yang Shaofeng was displeased, but Empress Ma herself was holding Yang Baobei and gently rocking and teasing him. Even the notorious "Ghost-Frightening Yang" could only lash out in anger.
Zhu Biao felt a little guilty. He chuckled dryly and then pulled out a stack of papers from his pocket, stuffing them into Yang Shaofeng's hand: "Brother-in-law, these are the land deeds for several imperial estates in Ningyang, Fengyang, and the capital. They have been changed to Bao’s name and will be used as bathing places for Bao in the future."
Black Sesame Dumplings had already discussed it with Ms. Chang. They figured that giving Yang Baobei any amount of royal estate now wouldn't be a loss, and they could make back their investment with interest as soon as their son was born.
Even if my brother-in-law is petty and couldn't bear to give a big gift when his nephew was born, what about when his daughter is made the Crown Prince's consort?
Given how doting he is on his daughter, no matter how petty he is, would he ever wrong his daughter?
The imperial estate meticulously managed by my brother-in-law is a completely different concept from those managed by other officials.
While calculating, Hei Sesame Tangyuan gave Zhu Lao Er a wink.
Unlike the generous Black Sesame Dumplings, Zhu Lao Er, Zhu Lao San, and Zhu Lao Wu were not stingy either.
Zhu Lao Er pulled out a square jade piece, on which was carved a phoenix with outstretched wings, ready to take flight.
"I had the baby's scientific name engraved on this. It will be a little toy to hold in my hand from now on."
Zhu Laosan took out a small wooden box and said with a smile, "These are just some cheap little earrings and necklaces for the little ones to wear and play with."
Zhu Laowu took out a jade pendant and a purse. "This jade pendant was specially made. There is a small box inside that is used to store spices."
"The recipe for the spices is in your sachet; it can calm the mind, soothe the spleen, and nourish the body."
After the Zhu brothers finished presenting their gifts, the Empress looked at Yang Shaofeng and asked, "Have the baby's full moon celebration and 100-day banquet been arranged?"
As Empress Ma finished speaking, Yang Shaofeng immediately felt a headache coming on.
A banquet is held for the full moon celebration, and another banquet is held for the 100th day celebration.
Good heavens, I served the Zhu family like a beast of burden for several years, and even brought back a gold mine and a silver mine for the Ming Dynasty from that short, ugly man. Only then did I accumulate merit and receive the title of Duke of Ying.
My own daughter is quite something. She was only a few days old when she was born, and they were already preparing to bestow upon her the title of Princess of Ningyang County. They even planned to hold two separate celebrations for her one-month and one-hundred-day celebrations!
I, the dignified Duke of Ying, am actually less honored than the birth of my own daughter…
Is it true that some people are born to be beasts of burden, while others are born to possess Rome?
……
Yang Baobei is the little lucky star personally recognized by Empress Ma.
He was also recognized as a lucky charm by the officials in the Ming Dynasty court.
Since Yang Baobei was born, Emperor Zhu has smiled more, his temper has improved, and even Yang the madman has become much more restrained and no longer causes trouble to the point of death.
The entire capital was filled with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
In contrast, the distant kingdom of Pegu was rife with bloodshed.
The entire Bubei Qiang were slaughtered. Emperor Zhu and Li Shanchang originally said that the barbarians within a ten-mile radius of Hong Yingtai's house would be wiped out. However, Zhu Laosi, Xu Yungong, Liao Yongzhong, and Yu Tongyuan selectively misunderstood the order and interpreted it as "building a Jingguan (a mound of corpses) for all barbarians within a ten-mile radius of Bubei Qiang."
To have a deterrent effect, Zhu Laosi even led some men straight to Pegu City. Right there in the Pegu court, in front of all the Pegu officials, he tied up the Pegu king, Pinye Yuwu, like a rice dumpling.
“The name of the Pegu Kingdom was changed to the Pegu Pacification Commissioner’s Office, and Luosuo Tuoli was appointed as the Pegu Pacification Commissioner. The title of Pegu King of Pinye Yuwu was abolished, and he was brought back to the court for questioning.”
"Anyone who disagrees can stand up now."
"Or you may gather your troops. I and the Ming fleet are waiting for you to come to battle at the port of Bubeiqiang."
Holding his still-dripping sword, Zhu Laosi coldly surveyed the assembled officials of Beggars, and said with a forced smile, "This is the consequence of provoking the Ming Dynasty!"
In the court of Pegu Kingdom, all the civil and military officials fell into a deathly silence.
To be honest, I'm definitely dissatisfied.
Imagine being stormed into the court, having your king bound like a mummy, and then being brazenly declared the destruction of Pegu. It would be utterly humiliating.
But what else can you do if you don't play dead?
The so-called royal city and city walls were as fragile as paper under the iron hooves of the Ming army.
The army guarding the capital city collapsed at the first contact with the Ming army's muskets and cannons.
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Pegu should have sent troops to deal with the Ming army when it rushed to the city and carried out a massacre. Why did the Ming army manage to drive straight into the capital?
Seeing that all the civil and military officials of the Kingdom of Pegu were bowing their heads and pretending to be dead, Zhu Laosi grinned sinisterly and said, "Wait for Rashadoli to return. You all need to obey his orders and cooperate with him to carry out the reform of the chieftain system. You may still receive preferential treatment. If you have any improper thoughts..."
Zhu Laosi glanced around, then suddenly slashed his sword at the so-called throne, cutting off a corner of the armrest. "You can all try it and see if my sword is sharp!"
The court of Pegu was even more deathly silent.
Zhu Laosi grinned maliciously again, then ordered his guards to pick up Pin Yeyuwu and swagger away.
