The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 115 The eldest brother is like a father
Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't been to Dasun's place these days, not because he doesn't miss him.

Instead, he was given so much information on the deployment of Daming's military force, and it would take a lot of time to read it.

It is currently late June, and the entire Ming Empire will face another test.

The current situation in Daming is the end of each year, which is very difficult for many people.

Affected by the small glacier, the weather has gradually turned colder now. One can imagine how cold it will be at the end of the year.

In the first half of the year, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the flood caused a wave of severe famine.

Droughts and locust plagues in many places are even more numerous.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the overall situation was generally stable, local turmoil continued, and small-scale uprisings were very frequent.

What has been recorded, what has not been recorded, what has been suppressed, and what is being suppressed, these are mainly concentrated in the fringes.

The other small countries are also having a hard time. Many small countries have sent tribute requests to Ming Dynasty, hoping to rely on the tribute to live a little better at the end of the year.

It's going to be hard if you can't get by.

Threats on the grasslands, riots by Japanese pirates on the southeast coast.

This is also why the standing army of the Ming Dynasty is more than one million, and a large number of generals and nobles train troops and suppress bandits all year round.

"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

In Huagai Palace, after discussing government affairs with several ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to take a break, Liu He reminded him in a low voice.

It's about two o'clock in the afternoon now, and dinner will be around three or four o'clock.

Liu He just wanted to ask His Majesty if there was any dish he wanted to eat today.

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his temples when he heard the words. Hearing this, he couldn't help saying: "We don't like the food cooked by those cooks. Compared with the food cooked by the grandson, it is very different."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang paused, and then said: "Liu He, prepare the car, let's go to Dasun's place today."

"I obey the order." After Liu He finished speaking, he was ready to make arrangements.

"Wait a minute, pass on our oral order and call Yunxi and Mingyue together." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Just for a moment, he suddenly remembered this matter.

Regarding Zhu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't worry much about anything else. What worried him most was that after he entered the palace, he would have no affection for his brothers and sisters.

Zhu Yuanzhang's family concept is very strong, and it can be seen from the imperial seal that even if it is a little farther away, it is well taken care of.

Thinking about children and grandchildren, among other things, at least you can eat and drink without worrying.Many royal heirs can receive a salary from birth.

Dasun is a ruthless person, as can be seen from the numerous scars on his body.

He was really afraid that when the eldest grandson came to the throne and rumors were flying, the butcher's knife would be swung at many uncles.

Since ancient times, the royal family has been ruthless, but what Zhu Yuanzhang cares most about is family affection.

So Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue are still very important, after all, they are the eldest grandson's younger brother and younger sister.

This is all blood dissolved in water.

"Arrange Jin Yiwei to notify Dasun, we will arrive later, and ask him to prepare a few more dishes."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Grandpa Huang, is he really the big brother? Is the big brother really still alive?"

In the carriage, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help asking Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yunxi was only four years old, Zhu Xiongying died young. He had only vaguely heard of this elder brother.

After all, Zhu Xiongying's presence in the palace was considered a taboo topic, even if the prince Zhu Biao was still alive, he wouldn't bring it up.

Zhu Xiongying's involvement with Zhu Yuanzhang is also related to Empress Ma. Every time he mentions it, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood will be irritable, and even a small matter will be directly punished to death.

Zhu Mingyue, who was sitting next to her, was much more sensible than Zhu Yunxie. When she heard her brother say this, she quickly tugged at her brother's sleeve with her small hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Of course it's your elder brother, it's your dear elder brother. A few days ago, we sent someone to dig up the grandson's mausoleum, and the inner and outer coffins are gone."

"Your eldest brother, Jiren, has his own appearance, and was blessed by God. He survived the disaster ten years ago, and now he is finally back."

Hearing Grandpa Huang's explanation, Zhu Mingyue's heart was a little shaken, and she couldn't help asking:
"Grandfather, these days I heard that there are legends about Xiaoling circulating in the outside world, is it related to the elder brother?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his eyes lit up.

Regarding the rumors about Xiaoling, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't feel it, but among the court ladies and eunuchs, it was all crazy.

What His Royal Highness Yu Wang ascended into a messy pile of immortals is what he said.

Normally, some big eunuchs would come forward to stop such rumors, but this time, even the eunuchs and other supervisors of the palm prints came out to participate in the talk.

In the past two days of going to school, what Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue heard the most was the legend about the tomb of King Yu in Xiaoling Mausoleum.

There have been people who eat melons since ancient times, especially those who want such a big melon, not to mention keeping it ripe, there is still a vague official propaganda.

Even the eunuchs in the cold palace may be able to tell several versions.

"That's right, this is Xiaoling's mausoleum. It's your elder brother's tomb. Don't be afraid, your elder brother is a living person with flesh and blood. He is living well. Don't believe any nonsense."

"Also, your eldest brother experienced the catastrophe ten years ago, and now he can't remember the past."

Zhu Yuanzhang explained that in charge of the eyes and ears of the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly knew how outrageous the rumors were.

Seeing that Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue were a little scared, they comforted them.

Hearing what Grandpa Huang said, the two of them lost all fear and looked forward to meeting them later.

"You guys are lucky today. We have already sent someone to inform your eldest brother to ask him to prepare a few more dishes."

"That taste, tsk tsk, after we ate the grandson's meal, we really can't get used to the meal made by the cook in the palace."

"It's the first meeting between you brothers. In the future, we will give you a sign that we want to get closer to your elder brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally asked.Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue nodded heavily when they heard the words, and they became more and more looking forward to the big brother they were about to meet.

In the yard, Zhu Ying received a notice from Jin Yiwei, saying that the old man would come over later and asked him to prepare more dishes.

"Good guy, this is addictive."

Zhu Ying smiled, and ordered the cooks to prepare.

For the old man's meeting this time, his thoughts are a bit complicated.

Of course he had heard about the rumors about Xiaoling, and now the entire capital is in a time of uproar.

When I arrived at the teahouse, I heard that almost all the guests were talking about this matter.

It is not difficult to guess that this is the handwriting of the old man, using this to stir up the situation and pave the way for his own superiority, or for his own identity to be announced.

"The old man is really knowledgeable. As expected, he is from the White Lotus Sect. He has arranged these nagging things properly."

Zhu Ying is here in the backyard. The old man will come over today during lunch, so he has to make a pot of good wine.

These days, the chamber of commerce under Zhu Ying's command has also begun to take root in the capital and its surrounding areas. In the cellar in the backyard, there are several barrels of fruit wine brought by the chamber of commerce.

Of course Zhu Ying also has strong alcohol like baijiu, but it is not suitable for the current old man. After all, he is too old to get on top of him.

Half an hour later, Jin Yiwei came to report, saying that the old man would be here soon.

After Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, she finally came to her senses.

Good guy, old man, you have changed.

I was the one who waited in the yard before, but now the person has not arrived yet, so I have to greet him.

But think of the identity of the old man.

Well, this score is really good.

Following Jin Yiwei, they all walked to the gate and waited. Fortunately, they didn't wait long when the sound of horseshoes came.

Zhu Ying turned her head to look, and saw more than a dozen Tiqi riding in front of her.

A four-horse carriage followed behind, and all the surrounding pedestrians gave way one after another.

Fortunately, this is also considered a wealthy area, and the streets are not too crowded.

The carriage stopped directly in front of Zhu Ying, Shi Duoti got off his horse and put his surroundings on alert.

Jin Yiwei at the door bowed his head and knelt on one knee.

What a big stage.

As the coachman, Jiang Yu got down and opened the curtain for the carriage after stopping.

The first person to come down was not the old man, but a teenager in his teens.

After the boy got out of the car, he looked at Zhu Ying, and was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shouting: "Father."

Zhu Yunxi was completely dumbfounded.

The carriage was about seven or eight meters away from the gate. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Zhu Ying. His appearance and temperament, which resembled his father Zhu Biao, made him stupefied for a moment and couldn't help but blurt out.

"What are you doing."

Zhu Mingyue, who was behind, had just emerged from the carriage when she heard her younger brother calling her father, so she couldn't help asking.

Then the next moment, there was a hint of fear in the sharp voice: "Father!!!"

Good guy, call dad a duet.

The reason why the reaction was so intense was that recently Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue had been guarding Zhu Biao's spirit every day.

It is said to comfort each other, but in fact, the two children kept watch until late at night in the cold hall, how could they not be afraid.

Now suddenly I saw my father standing in front of me, Zhu Ying under the setting sun, the original position was a bit backlit, plus this figure and temperament.

What was supposed to be the anticipation of finding a big brother suddenly turned into horror.

"What are you shouting for? Open your eyes and look carefully. This is your elder brother."

When Zhu Yuanzhang came down, he was reprimanded.

Hearing Zhu Mingyue's scream, he immediately got out of the carriage.After getting along with grandson for a long time, he almost forgot about it.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, it was supposed to be the joy of the younger siblings seeing the eldest brother, but he did not expect such a joke to come out.

Hearing Grandpa Huang's scolding, Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Ying finally came to their senses.

However, the timid Zhu Yunxi still hid behind her sister, showing half of her head, and quietly looked at Zhu Ying.

Zhu Mingyue, on the other hand, pretended to be calm, watching the 'Father King' walking towards her step by step, her calves couldn't help trembling a little.

Zhu Ying smiled helplessly.

Walking down the steps from the gate, seeing the helplessness in the old man's eyes, I suddenly felt a little warm.

And as Zhu Ying walked in, Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunxi gradually calmed down.

After all, as long as you look closely, the difference between Zhu Ying and Zhu Biao is still relatively large, especially for those who are close to them.

It's just that under the light and shadow just now, his face was a little blurry, so that's why.

Glancing at Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue, Zhu Ying didn't speak, but said to the old man:

"grandfather!"
