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

Chapter 102 This is the eldest grandson of our Daming!
From Chunhe Palace to Fengtian Palace, it is only a thousand steps away.

Followed by a group of palace people, Zhu Xiongying walked slowly along the straight and wide palace road, aiming at Fengtian Palace...

Inside Fengtian Temple.

At this time, all the vassals, civil and military officials all had expressions of urgency, and couldn't help whispering.

Because it was the Longevity Banquet, apart from being more particular about etiquette, everyone was actually more relaxed.

There is no need to discuss political affairs, no need to worry about being impeached, just let go and drink. In the past, some military commanders even got drunk and would not be held accountable. The premise is that you don't talk nonsense while drunk.

Now that the wine has passed for several rounds, many people have already blushed and their necks are thick from drinking, and their spirits have become excited, especially what the old emperor said just now, which added fuel to the enthusiastic atmosphere in the venue.

Everyone wants to see who that person is!
The table of sapphire.

Those sitting were all the younger Huaixi military generals, including Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, Marquis of Heshou, Zhu Shou, Marquis of Cage, Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, He Rong, Dong Guanbo, and the two Chang brothers.

These people are either related to Lan Yu by marriage, or they have a very good personal relationship with Lan Yu, and their speech is much more casual.

What was discussed during the meeting was naturally the words of the old emperor just now.

However, to the surprise of others, Sapphire, who always talked the most after drinking, was surprisingly quiet today, just drinking to herself, and grinning from time to time listening to their discussions.

There was a bit of complacency in that laughter, but also a bit of disdain for the commentators.

Chang Sheng was very familiar with him as an uncle. Looking at Lan Yu's appearance, he knew something, so he couldn't help asking: "Old uncle, do you know something? Don't be amused by yourself. Tell us about it!"

"That's right! Brother Lan, I've been watching you for a long time. When the emperor mentioned that person just now, you almost grinned!" Jing Chuanhou Cao Zhen said holding a wine glass.

"That person can't be Big Brother Lan, right?" He Shouhou Zhang Yi said, "Could it be Big Brother Lan's godson?"

After the words fell, the generals at the wine table all laughed.

Snapped!
Sapphire suddenly slapped Zhang Yi on the head, knocking the wine glass Zhang Yi was holding to the ground.

Zhang Yi was taken aback for a moment, but when he looked at Lan Yu, he found that the latter had already put on a tiger's face, and shouted in a deep voice: "If you can't speak, don't say it!"

Everyone was secretly shocked when they saw this.

One must know that Sapphire has always been heroic, especially at the wine table, the emperor would dare to make arrangements after drinking crazy, but at this moment she is extremely serious.

Does that person really have that much energy?
Even Sapphire, who was always afraid of the old emperor, was so caring.

At this moment, a shrill eunuch sang in harmony from outside the hall: "His Royal Highness, grandson, here—!"

The originally noisy Fengtian Temple became quiet in an instant.

His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?
Everyone in the venue was startled when they heard the words.

Someone reacted, looking for the figure of Shou Wang Zhu Yunqi in the hall.

The crown princess died suddenly, but the funeral was very simple. She was transported back to her hometown of Shouzhou for burial, and Shouwang Zhu Yunwen also returned to the capital. After the Longevity Festival, she officially took over Shouzhou.

However, at this time, the longevity king Zhu Yunqi was sitting at the table in the farthest corner.

Although Zhu Yunqi is now the king of longevity, everyone in the palace knows his current situation. He has lost the favor of the old emperor, and his status has plummeted. Therefore, when arranging the banquet, he was specially arranged in a corner so that the old emperor would not see him. My heart is blocked.

Zhu Yunwen himself was also happy to avoid all kinds of eyes, so he ate quietly in the corner, as if everything around him was none of his business, the excitement belonged to them, and he had nothing.

But at this moment, more and more eyes fell on him.

This made Zhu Yunxuan couldn't hold back any longer.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at those gazes, and pretended to be eating rice in small bites, but it was tasteless, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

Zhu Yunqi exhausted all his strength to keep the tears from falling.

Because of too much force, my whole body couldn't help trembling slightly, and the hand holding the chopsticks had already been pressed with a red mark by the chopsticks...

Fortunately, this gaze didn't last too long, and they all turned to look outside the hall.

Outside Fengtian Hall, a figure slowly appeared.

The man was tall and straight, and the well-fitting gown made the originally slender figure look taller and taller. He was wearing a nine-pronged crown on his head, with nine prongs hanging on the front and back. Nine green, yellow and black jade beads hung down in front of the man's face.

Jiu Yan covered half of the man's face, making people feel mysterious and awe-inspiring at the same time.

Even though he couldn't see the man's face clearly, everyone present gasped in shock in this attire, as if roots had taken root on their feet, they stayed where they were, only their eyes followed the man's movement.

Zhu Xiongying walked steadily, one step at a time.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Zhu Xiongying walked forward slowly, with majestic eyes, neither humble nor overbearing, exuding a calm kingly aura.

At this moment, he is the great grandson of the Ming Emperor who was honored by the founder of the country, and whom all civil and military officials look up to!

Starting from the wide square outside Fengtian Temple, surrounded by more than 1000 civil and military officials with shining eyes, and under their feet is the bluestone passage engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns. order.

Outside the Fengtian Hall are civil and military officials below the third rank, while inside the Fengtian Hall are the officials above the third rank, as well as the princes and grandchildren, and the founders of the country.

This is the pinnacle of power in the world.

But at this moment, Zhu Xiongying walking in the middle of Fengtian Temple is the protagonist!

Stares of prying eyes and astonishment all fell on him, and all the spotlights were shining on him, including the stares of undisguised joy and relief on the dragon chair.

Zhu Xiongying walked at a leisurely pace.

Entering the Fengtian Hall, a warm breath rushed towards the face immediately, as if two seasons had passed between the inside and outside of the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also worried that Zhu Xiongying would be too nervous.

But at this moment, he found that his worries were unnecessary, because the calmness of his eldest grandson was like a born king.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was used to seeing big scenes, felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.

For Zhu Xiongying, today is the day when he officially stands in front of the world as the eldest grandson of Emperor Ming, and it is also the day when his life begins to change.

Facing the center of power in the entire Ming Dynasty, this stinky boy showed the air of a king.

Thinking about myself at this brat's age, I would only yell in the army squad I lead, but whenever there was a big scene, my feet would tremble with nervousness.

Not bad, this kid has given us a long face!
Zhu Yuanzhang felt both emotional and gratified...

And Zhu Yunqi in the corner, the chopsticks in his hand were almost broken by him without knowing it...

At this time, Zhu Xiongying had come to the front of the highest position in Fengtian Temple under the eyes of surprise, guess, excitement, or sadness, and then slowly bowed down.

"The grandson pays respects to the imperial grandfather, wishing the imperial grandfather good luck and longevity!"

As he spoke, Zhu Xiongying respectfully kowtowed three times to Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair.

"Good good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly waved his hands and said, "Get up, come, come to us!"

"Ah."

Zhu Xiongying stood up without any hesitation, and stepped on the steps leading to the supreme position.

At this moment, the Fengtian Hall is still silent.

Only the sound of Zhu Xiongying's footsteps remained.

The scene in front of them made almost everyone present have question marks on their faces, and felt that the speed of their brains had slowed down.

Lan Yu, on the other hand, glanced at King Yan, Zhu Di intentionally or unintentionally.

"Come on, stand by our side!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and pulled Zhu Xiongying to the side of the dragon chair.

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the dragon chair.

It was only then that Zhu Xiongying discovered that when fighting here, he could see the movements and expressions of everyone in the entire hall at a glance.

He saw the civil and military officials who were still in shock, Liu Sanwu who was relieved, Li Jinglong who was excited, Lan Yu who was excited, King Qi who was proud, and finally his eyes fell on a person beside King Qi.

It was the one who bought melons that day!
The man was also looking at him with a blank expression on his face.

"All ministers, all nephews!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, and said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, life is seventy since ancient times, and we are 64 this year. 64 years ago, our mother gave birth to us. Who would have thought that we could become a Ming Dynasty one day?" Where is the emperor of the dynasty? We are quite content, really!"

"But we also have regrets! Our sister is gone, and our son is gone. We are really going to be lonely!"

"Fortunately, God has treated us well. He took away our son and sent our grandson back!"

Hearing these words, all the civil and military people in the hall trembled in their hearts, subconsciously raised their heads to look at the person beside the old emperor.

Who is that person?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, with a smile in his eyes, and continued: "We just told you that we will soon tell you about the person who has made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty recently!"

"Now he is by our side!"

"he is the one……"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused slightly, raised his voice, and said loudly: "He is our eldest grandson, the prince's eldest son, our eldest son of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying!"

When the voice fell to the ground, almost everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

The eldest grandson of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying?
That child who has been dead for ten years is back now?

This……

Incredible!

Almost all the princes and grandchildren present, as well as civil and military officials stood there motionless like logs, staring at Zhu Xiongying beside the dragon chair with blank eyes.

If it wasn't from the mouth of the emperor, they wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.

But gradually, people began to react.

After the shock in the eyes of the Chang brothers and a group of Huaixi generals, they couldn't hide their ecstasy.

When the prince was still there, they surrounded him closely.

With the prince's departure, they lost their asylum all of a sudden. They felt depressed, but there was nothing they could do.

But now, the emperor told them that the prince's eldest son had returned, how could they be unhappy?Regardless of how the eldest son treats them in the future, they are sincerely happy for the prince!

Even Tang He, Lord Xinguo, couldn't help but burst into tears...

And those civil servants don't think as simple as these generals.

What they thought of was the position of the crown prince.

No wonder Zhu Yunxuan and Zhu Yunxie were crowned kings quickly, no wonder the crown princess died suddenly, no wonder the always frugal emperor asked all the vassals to return to Beijing to organize this grand longevity banquet.

It turned out that it was all because of the return of the eldest grandson of Daming!
No matter what happened, the person next to the dragon chair has obviously been approved by the old emperor, so the choice of the crown prince is almost ready.

And what the old emperor did just now, he almost couldn't say it out loud. The young man standing beside him on the dragon chair will be the future master of Daming.

The country cannot live without reserves.

The Great Ming reserve position is vacant, and the emperor is old. This has always been their worry.

It seems that they are just worrying about it.

It turns out that the old emperor has always had his own plans!
But that's fine, at least no matter what happens, Daming's future is assured.

As for the character and ability of this eldest grandson of Daming who suddenly reappeared in front of everyone, this can be observed slowly in the future.

Among the people present, of course, some of them knew the inside story.

Lan Yu Fu Youde and the others looked at each other.

Both could see relief and joy in each other's eyes, after nodding to each other, Sapphire's eyes turned to those tables of feudal lords.

The expressions of the vassal kings are more exciting than those of the civil and military officials.

But they are surprisingly unified, with their eyes and mouths wide open, like clay and wood sculptures.

Their eldest nephew is back?
Up to this moment, the princes of all walks of life still haven't come out of the shock. This time, the adult princes are more shocked than those young princes.

Those young feudal lords just watched obsessively.

But Sapphire's eyes glanced at them, because he was not interested in the surprised expressions of these feudal lords, he was only interested in one person.

King Yan, Zhu Di!
When Lan Yu's gaze fell on King Yan, a slight smile flashed across the corner of King Yan's mouth.

I can't tell if it's a wry smile or a sneer, maybe both.

Zhu Di, King of Yan, defended the northern border for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di had accompanied Lan Yu on two expeditions. To be honest, Lan Yu still admired the fourth prince very much.

Strong learning ability, brave and ruthless.

After leaving him, King Yan led his troops deep into Mobei alone several times, defeating the Meng Yuan thieves, but King Yan ruled the army well, and he also had several strong generals under his command, and the sergeants were equally brave.

But the more this happened, the more Lan Yu was wary of King Yan.

Before the prince was alive, Lan Yu had reminded the prince many times, but the prince was kind, and instead spoke for his brother several times.

At that time, Sapphire didn't care too much.

Because the position of the prince was unshakable at that time.

But now that the prince is gone, everything is different again.

Now that the position of crown prince is about to fall to the crown prince's eldest son, his nephew Zhu Xiongying, it is really hard to say what will happen in the future.

"Humph!"

Lan Yu snorted softly, and said in her heart: "It doesn't matter if you are rebellious or not, as long as you dare to come! I, Lan Yu, just want to try how much your King Yan weighs!"

Just as he was thinking, Li Jinglong took a step forward.

This time, Li Jinglong finally got ahead of Zhan Hui, cupped his hands and shouted: "My lord, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to Daming, you have a great grandson!"
