Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 1 Two Dead Men
"Xiongying, your grandpa...grandpa is a...remarkable...person..."

With his eyes wide open, Huang Tieniu struggled to utter the last word, as if he had something on his mind, he straightened up all of a sudden, and closed his eyes in relief.

Before the bed.

Huang Xiongying wept sadly.

He is not from this world, like most protagonists, he is a time traveler.

And obviously, he also drew the protagonist template.

A father died at the beginning...

Speaking of this father, Huang Xiongying is still grateful.

Since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, his father has been really kind to him.

The family background is not very rich, but Huang Xiongying did not let Huang Xiongying do a day's work.

Not to mention rich clothes and fine food, but also food and clothing.

Moreover, this old man simply regarded his son as an uncle and offered it to him, holding it in his palm for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.

Total doting.

Huang Xiongying understands why there are so many unfilial children in this world. Parents should bear the main responsibility.

Huang Xiongying said exactly what happened at home.

But, except for one thing.

That is, Huang Xiongying wanted to change his military status to a craftsman status.

In the history of China, starting from the Warring States period, the system of "scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants" known as the four peoples was gradually established.

"Scholar" is the head of the four peoples, while "workers" and "business" are regarded as the last ones, with the lowest status.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang rectified the household registration and strengthened the management of taxation and labor.

Household registration is divided into four major household registrations: army, civilian, craftsman, and stove.

The reason why Huang Xiongying wanted to change his status as a general to a craftsman was because he wanted to go into business.

The thinking of people in later generations is to make money.

Then, if you are successful, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be good for yourself.

Based on his two lifetimes of experience, coupled with the help of the system, he believed that since he could not be a nobleman, he could also be a wealthy businessman like Shen Wansan, so as to contribute to this era.

And there is another point, he doesn't want to join the army for the time being.

In this era of strict household registration, military registration means joining the army for generations.

It's not that he's afraid of joining the army, he even wants to experience the blood of fighting on the battlefield, it's just that he, who died suddenly from exhaustion in his previous life, wants to live a leisurely life for a while.

Since the father refused to die, Huang Xiongying had no choice but to give up.

However, Huang Xiongying still made a lot of money secretly, and his life is rich and carefree.

However, it is different now.

The father's passing away like this meant that Huang Xiongying's protective umbrella was gone all of a sudden.

Everything is up to him.

"Hey--"

Huang Xiongying sighed lightly, and bowed deeply to her father...

Next, is the funeral.

Huang Tieniu was very popular during his lifetime, and a few of his old comrades came here to help Huang Xiongying with his funeral.

With a pull of the white cloth, the suona rattled.

Huang Xiongying decided to arrange his father's funeral in a good way, and ordered a red coffin for him. He worked hard all his life, and he was not willing to spend his money. After death, he should lie down comfortably and walk happily. The scenery is bright.

After a while, there were people crying in the courtyard.

"It's time to eat!"

A cry pulled the relatives and friends who came to see them off from their grief.

The children were jumping up and down, very unhappy, they didn't know what happened, they only knew that they could have a good meal, and they could follow the adults up the mountain to play later.

Relatives and friends were very satisfied, crying and laughing, and sent Huang Tieniu away.

Huang Tieniu left, what was really left to Huang Xiongying was a mansion by the Qinhuai River. The mansion was not considered a mansion, but Huang Xiongying was very satisfied. One must know this location, with a yard, what is the concept?
In future generations, it will be over [-] million.

Of course, Huang Xiongying was left with his last words before his death.

His grandpa was an amazing man...

……

Hongwu 25 years, April.

As in previous years, the Yingtian Mansion in the capital began to rain continuously in spring, covering the entire capital in gray weather.

Although the weather is not comfortable, it is what the common people look forward to, because the arrival of the spring rain means the beginning of spring plowing, which is also a good start. Everyone is looking forward to a good year this year.

But this year's spring rain has cast a shadow over many people's hearts.

Because Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the current crown prince, passed away soon after returning from his inspection tour in Shaanxi.

Yingtian Mansion, the Forbidden City.

This is a place beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is also the power center of the entire Ming Dynasty.

now.

The East Palace is full of plain onyx, solemn and solemn.

The old Zhu's family, big and small, knelt in front of the mourning hall, and the sound of wailing resounded throughout the palace.

"The Emperor is here!"

With a shrill voice, a gray-haired old man appeared at the door.

The old man was tall, but the clothes on his body fluttered in the slightly cool spring breeze, making him look very thin, but his bloodshot eyes were so deep that people dare not look at him.

It was as if he could be seen through by these eyes at once.

However, at this moment, apart from being deep, these eyes are still full of sadness.

No tears, just staring blankly.

It's just that his wrinkled face couldn't help but twitch slightly, revealing a little bit of the endless sadness in his heart.

The steps are steady and slow.

The gray-haired old man, but with a straight waist, stepped forward slowly, step by step, and the powerful aura made everyone lower their heads and dare not look directly.

The old man is naturally the master of the world today.

Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang!

"See the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the crowd who were kneeling in front of him together, and let out a cold snort in his nose.

"Long live? Humph, what is long live? Our son is dead, but you are still called long live here, do you want us to be completely lonely?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice fell to the ground, and needles could be heard in the audience.

No one dared to make a sound, and they all knelt extremely firmly, for fear that if they moved a little, the real dragon in front of them would notice it.

"call--"

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the red coffin in the center of the mourning hall.

The thick palm rested on the coffin.

Looking at the person in the coffin who seemed to have fallen asleep.

Zhu Yuanzhang's body trembled slightly, his breathing became rapid, and his eye sockets became blood red unknowingly.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man.

And he is his beloved son.

This feeling of desolation is only understood by oneself.

Sometimes, being too sad is not crying, but being unable to cry.

Exhausted.

Zhu Yuanzhang's feet suddenly softened.

But his hands firmly grasped the coffin, and with the support of his son's coffin, he prevented himself from falling down.

Because he knew that at this time, he couldn't fall down.

Daming needs him, and the people of Daming need him...

Today is the day of the prince's funeral.

When the time came, when the suona sounded in the palace, the coffin was lifted up by the guards in white and sent to Xiaoling for burial.

The funeral procession was long.

Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Yunxie, Zhu Yunxie, Zhu Yunxi, four sons, and daughters all followed the coffin to send their father off for the last time...

The crown prince Zhu Biao, who was so popular and highly expected by Zhu Yuanzhang, was sent away in this way, and he was given the posthumous title of "Prince Yiwen".

……

After the rain in late spring, the sun became bright and warm.

The crown prince's national funeral has passed, and Yingtian City has become lively again.

Those who do business have opened their doors, those who are looking for work have gone to the streets, and the girls from the Jiaofang Division have also started shouting upstairs...

Here, it can be said to be the most prosperous place in the whole world.

Especially on the banks of the Qinhuai River, it was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Among the crowd, dozens of brocade guards in plain clothes never dared to take their eyes off the two people in front of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Fu Youde.

After a long period of digestion, Zhu Yuanzhang finally walked out of the room and called Fu Youde, the only remaining veteran of the founding of the country, to take a walk outside the palace to relax.

"Um……"

Zhu Yuanzhang's nose moved slightly: "It smells so strong."

Fu Youde nodded, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go on the hour?"

"go!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little bit of interest, and strode forward...
