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

Chapter 116 Are you teaching me to do things?

The wind howled all night.

On the second day, there was still heavy snow falling, dyeing the world into a silver world.

Because the old man drank too much last night, it was rare for him to sleep late.

And Zhu Xiongying went out of the palace alone with an umbrella, saying that he was alone, but in fact the guards hidden in the dark did not know how many.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying had already walked to the gate of Xu's residence.

"Go and report to Xu Huizu, and say that the grandson of the emperor wants to see him."

The grandson of the emperor?
Menzi was startled when he heard the words, saluted quickly, and then ran to inform their master.

Zhu Xiongying collected all the umbrellas, put them in front of the door, and looked out with his hands behind his back.

The heavy snow has not stopped for several days in a row, and the snow in this year's cold winter seems to be more fierce than in previous years.

Such a big snowstorm, I don't know what kind of disaster it will cause.

Just when Zhu Xiongying was staring at Blizzard outside the door in a daze.

A group of people in the courtyard of the Xu Mansion had already hurried over.

The three Xu family brothers and Xu Miaojin came out one after another.

"Minister Xu Huizu, bring your brother and sister to pay homage to His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Xiongying turned her head with her hands behind her back, looked at the three Xu family brothers and Xu Miaojin, and said, "Get up, go in and talk."

Xu Huizu thought for a while, and said: "I hold an umbrella for His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Zhu Xiongying did not refuse, and walked towards the central hall, while Xu Huizu held an umbrella for Zhu Xiongying.

Xu Huizu had been vigilant since he saw Zhu Xiongying, but he didn't expect all of this to be true. Until now, he still feels a little unbelievable.

That boy back then is now an existence that they have to be cautious about!
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Xiongying's back, and felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Sure enough, he has changed.

Become solemn, become people look up to.

Hey!
Without thinking too much, a group of people have arrived at the central hall.

Xu Huizu hurriedly asked someone to pour tea.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying was already sitting on the main seat, and the brothers and sisters from the Xu family were sitting on the second seats.

Zhu Xiongying took a sip of tea, glanced at the three brothers of the Xu family, and said indifferently: "Gu came here this time mainly to see you three brothers. I know that you three brothers are capable people."

The Xu family and the Huangming Zhu family are inextricably linked.

Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was the first hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty and ranked first among the "six kings" of the founding of the country.

The Xu family is also a relative of the emperor, and the eldest daughter is Princess Yan.

So this time the grandson of the emperor came, which made the three Xu family brothers feel a little uneasy.

The crown prince has been appointed, which means that King Yan no longer has a chance, and there are some people in their Zhongshan Palace whose relationship with King Yan is unclear.

When Zhu Xiongying said this, Xu Huizu didn't know what it meant, so he could only say cautiously: "His Highness Taisun has promoted the three brothers, and the ministers are just under the protection of their father, so there is no such thing as ability."

"Ah--"

Zhu Xiongying chuckled, and said like a treasure: "In the 21st year of Hongwu, you took two brothers to Shanxi and Beiping to train troops and suppress bandits. The bandits in the north fled in a hurry after hearing about your Xu family army."

"In the 22nd year of Hongwu, you were also ordered to garrison Changde Mansion, to inspect sergeants in various guards in Huguang, and to train troops and prepare for the frontier."

"In the 24th year of Hongwu, you went to Shaanxi to train troops and defend the border."

"I know that you brothers are capable of training soldiers. If there is a chance, I will let you resume the right to train soldiers. You can't keep fighting. You are young and strong, and you can't rest. The country still needs you."

Xu Huizu's three brothers were taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at Zhu Xiongying in a daze.

"Minister and so on, thank His Highness Grandson for your appreciation!"

The three brothers of the Xu family got up quickly and bowed their hands.

Xu Huizu was a little excited, he knew how correct his original choice was.

As the old emperor said, the best thing about Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, is his vision, and Xu Huizu can be regarded as a person with vision.

Zhu Xiongying waved his hands to get them up, and said with a smile, "I'm here this time, and there's one more thing, that is, I want to meet my sister-in-law."

Xu Miaojin, who was a little absent-minded at the side, was slightly startled, and subconsciously looked at Zhu Xiongying.

She obviously didn't expect Zhu Xiongying to be so direct.

Zhu Xiongying also looked at Xu Miaojin, and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, shall we go for a walk?"

Xu Miaojin was startled, her rare pretty face blushed slightly, and she nodded immediately.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, the three brothers of the Xu family stood together and watched quietly.

In the end, it was Xu Yingxu who spoke first: "It turns out that the person Guo Huifei came to kiss is actually His Highness the Grandson!"

Xu Huizu nodded and smiled: "Yes, who said that having a daughter is inferior to a man? Our Xu family is really blessed by the father!"

Xu Zengshou just smiled and said nothing.

Because he supported King Yan at the beginning, thinking that both sisters would marry King Yan, and the Xu family was the closest to King Yan.

Xu Huizu glanced at Xu Zengshou, and said with a smile: "Fourth, catch up with Minger, our old sister is our Daming's... Empress! Why, are you unhappy?"

Xu Zengshou smiled wryly: "How can it be? What an honor it is for my younger sister to be the mother of the world! We, the older brothers, will all follow suit!"

"It's good to know, it's good to know!"

Xu Huizu patted Xu Zengshou's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's have a drink?"

"Okay!"

Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou replied in unison.

The three brothers looked at each other and smiled at last, as if one of them attained the Tao, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven...

In this world, some people are happy and some are sad, and it will always be like this.

The side hall of Chunhe Palace.

Zhu Yunwen went up to the west building alone, leaning on the railing to look at it, but the sight of the second floor attic was too short, and he could only see the busy eunuchs and maids in the courtyard of Duanjing Hall.

It used to be the place where he and the Lu family lived, but now it has changed hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Spring Palace last night.

The Spring Harmony Palace and the Imperial Palace are not far away, so the old man would not have trouble coming here.

But even though it was so easy, Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't been here for a long time, and he could vaguely hear the commotion in Chunhe Palace last night.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang's coming to the Spring Harmony Palace was an exciting event in the past, but now Zhu Yunwen is unable to restrain his resentment and jealousy, his eyes are blurred, and he looks at the Duanjing Palace obsessively.

"You're here, grandpa is here, hehe, haha!"

"Do you know that during the nine years you were away, I served my father and honored your father."

"Hehe, hehe—"

"Back then, grandpa loved me so much."

"But since you appeared, everything has changed, everything about me has been taken away by you!"

"Including... my mother!"

"The person I love the most..."

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and poured wine hard, the tears in his eyes flowed down like a dike.

Endless grievances, endless resentment...

Zhu Yunqi wanted to look up to the sky and yell no no no three times, but he didn't dare, so he could only hold back in his heart and let the tears wash down his face.

"coward!"

Suddenly, a coquettish reprimand sounded from behind Zhu Yunqi.

Zhu Yunwen was startled suddenly, as if awakened from a dream, he turned his head quickly, only to see his mother, Mrs. Lu, dressed in white, standing faintly behind him, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother..."

The Lu family said quietly: "Xian'er, cheer up, how can a man be so depressed, if he can't encounter setbacks, he will only blame others, only drink, who can go smoothly in his life?"

Zhu Yunwen quickly crawled over, and growled in a suppressed voice: "Mother, I know my mistake!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunqi subconsciously wanted to catch Lu Shi, but he was in vain.

"mother……"

Zhu Yunwen cried and wanted to hug him, but it was still empty.

The Lu family in front of him looked at Zhu Yunqi with a smile, and at the same time his figure was gradually fading away...

"mother……"

Zhu Yunwen shouted: "Mom! Don't go, don't go..."

When Lu's figure dissipated, Zhu Yunwen had already cried into a puddle of mud, crying and crying, his face gradually distorted, and a thick resentment and ruthlessness gradually condensed from his tearful eyes...

……

On the streets of Yingtianfu.

Although it was snowing heavily, the people did not dare to be idle.

There are still vendors doing business on the side of the road, and there are also people who are huddled in a fixed corner waiting for work to come to their door.

The population of the capital city has always been the densest in the world. Among the bustling street scenes, Datong Street is undoubtedly the busiest.

Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaojin walked silently on the street.

"Your Highness, let me hold an umbrella for you."

After being silent for a long time, Xu Miaojin finally spoke.

Zhu Xiongying turned his head and said with a straight face: "Are you teaching Gu how to do things?"

???

Xu Miaojin was startled, the embarrassment on his face flashed, and he wanted to bow down immediately: "The girl knows I'm wrong..."

Zhu Xiongying supported Xu Miaojin, and suddenly smiled: "You have changed!"

???

Xu Miaojin was startled again, not knowing how to answer for a while, she stared at Zhu Xiongying blankly, she really wanted to say, you have changed, but she dared not say so.

Because the person in front of him is the grandson of the emperor, the most powerful man in Ming Dynasty in the future.

One word can determine the life and death of everyone, including their Xu family.

Looking at Xu Miaojin who was stunned, Zhu Xiongying seemed to answer her, and said with a smile: "Actually, I haven't changed, what has changed is your state of mind."

"I know that my identity will bring about many changes, but I hope that we will not be affected by those things, just like when you already knew my identity and still pretended not to know when you got along with me, now you just pretend that you I don't know, do you understand what I mean?"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xu Miaojin glanced at Zhu Xiongying lightly.

This made Zhu Xiongying almost go crazy.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's appearance, Xu Miaojin couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling slightly, which made Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but give Xu Miaojin a blank look.

Xu Miaojin smiled slyly and said, "Even!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled, took out a token from his bosom, and handed it to Xu Miaojin.

"I ordered people to build this in the East Palace. You can come in and out of the East Palace at any time if you hold it. If you miss me, go to the East Palace to find me."

"Sometimes I have too many things to do, so I may not be able to think of you. Take the initiative yourself, understand?"

Xu Miaojin: "..."

These words exuded the unique straight male atmosphere belonging to the old Zhu family.

But Xu Miaojin's cheeks turned red immediately after hearing this, as sweet as eating honey, happily took the token, nodded and said: "Understood..."

……

Be careful.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sobered up, he asked someone to bring up some memorials that had been half-processed earlier.

Most of them are trivial things, such as memorials of greetings, memorials of local anecdotes, memorials of missing the emperor, etc.

In the past, he glanced at it all.

But today, Zhu Yuanzhang took it very seriously.

The maids and eunuchs next to him were watching secretly, very curious.

There are many memorials here, the old man has already asked them to take them down, why do you still take them so seriously?
Moreover, there was a long-lost smile on his face.

This is the first time in the world!

In the past, the old man had never laughed so happily unless he encountered some happy event.

Naturally, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed not because of the memorial, but because of the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the glasses up to his forehead with one hand for a while, and hung them down for a while, repeating this without any annoyance.

The words on the memorial are clearly visible!

In the past, he had to lie on top of the memorial, but this time his body was straight and upright. Even though the distance was so far, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't squint his eyes.

"Good guy! Really good guy! This thing is amazing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled knowingly.

Not long after, Liu Bao came over and said cautiously: "My lord, the three kings of Qin, Jin and Yan are already outside the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed: "Go and call them in."

a while.

The three kings of Qin, Jin and Yan came walking with tiger strides and knelt down on the knees together: "Son, send your greetings to father."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Get up, everyone."

The three stood up, seeing the glasses on Zhu Yuanzhang's nose bridge, they were a little dazed for a while.

Naturally, they all knew how to observe words and expressions. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang fiddling with his glasses, they knew that the old man was very happy with this thing.

Zhu Di looked at it, and said calmly: "Father, this is a gift from the emperor's grandson? I think Dad is very satisfied!"

Don't look at Zhu Di with a beard, a rough appearance, and a hearty approach to things, but he really belongs to the kind of person who has a heart like a tiger sniffing a rose.

He knew when and what to say would make Zhu Yuanzhang happy.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang waved: "Come in front of us, stand up straight!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Di walked over obediently and stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

The two kings of Qin and Jin curled their lips speechlessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the densely packed words on the memorial: "Can you see clearly?"

Zhu Di squinted his eyes hard: "This... I can't see clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded pretendingly: "Well, can't you see clearly? We can see clearly."

amount.

Zhu Di was speechless. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang leaning against the grand master's chair with a smug smile on his face, Zhu Di knew that the old man was showing off.

Zhu Di pretended to be puzzled, and said, "Father... this? Could it be that your old eyesight has healed? Congratulations, congratulations! My son blesses you!"

What is the art of speaking?
Sometimes the so-called "stupid" is not wise and stupid?
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Hey! This is the wisdom of our Daming, the wisdom of our old Zhu family!"

Zhu Di: "..."

This old man's love for the emperor's grandson is really enviable!
Zhu Yuanzhang carefully put his glasses away, looked at the three kings of Qin, Jin and Yan again, and said slowly: "The domains you three belong to, Taiyuan, Xi'an, and Beiping, are all important towns in China for thousands of years, and they are also the frontier fortresses of our Ming Dynasty. The safety and prosperity of the three cities will directly affect the safety and prosperity of the imperial court, so the burden on your shoulders is heavy!"

"Don't let us hear about your messing around in the feudal land, understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Qin Wang Zhu Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Xing was so frightened that he quickly took the lead and knelt down: "I would like to obey my father's instruction!"

Zhu Yan and Zhu Di had no choice but to kneel down as well: "I would like to obey my father's instruction!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "We are also getting old day by day. If suddenly one day, we die of a sudden illness or die without a disease, what should you do?"

Zhu Wei replied: "If there is such a day, I will definitely do my best to help the prince and protect my great Ming Dynasty forever!"

Zhu Xi and Zhu Di also nodded and said: "The same is true for my son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three of them with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "What if there are unworthy descendants who kill each other?"

The three of them replied almost at the same time: "My son will serve as the king's escort!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, looked at the three of them, and said calmly: "What if it's yourselves who are killing each other?!"

"..."

The three of them were all covered in cold sweat by Zhu Yuanzhang's indifferent gaze.

"My son, don't dare!"

All three of them bowed down.

Jinshen Hall fell into a long silence, and the silent coercion, like mountains and rivers pouring down, pressed on the heads of the three kings of Qin, Jin and Yan.

For many years, they have never felt this kind of coercion since they became a feudal clan!
A tiger will always be a tiger. Even though he is old, the murderous aura emanating from his body is still like the shadow of a sword.

After an unknown amount of time, the Three Kings felt their backs were wet with cold sweat, and only then heard Zhu Yuanzhang say indifferently: "Get up, let's just ask casually, don't panic!"

"Yes!"

Only then did the three kings dare to stand up.

Zhu Di wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "Father, your joke scares my son enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, and continued: "We let you stay away from the court to better protect the court. You should be lonely, but you must concentrate on leading the army and guarding the border. Children, you must respect yourself!"

"Yes!"

The three kings quickly bowed their hands and said yes.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "It's not easy for our old Zhu family's ancestral foundation to be established. We are a Tian family, and the Tian family must have deeper rules. What we have said is a promise!"

"We said what are the conditions for becoming a crown prince?"

Zhu Yan hurriedly said: "The one who is the crown prince must be the emperor's bloodline."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Seniors and youngsters are orderly, high and low are normal, you are right, but Biao'er is gone, but there are still people in Zhengyi's line."

"It's yours. Father has never been stingy, but it's not yours. We hope you don't think too much about it."

"We are the emperor first, and then your father. The things of our Tian family are not shared by ordinary people."

"If it's an ordinary family, you can share the rain and dew evenly, and distribute the things in the house to brothers and sisters, but the world of the Tian family, fourth child, do you think it can be divided?"

Hearing that his name was being called, Zhu Di hurriedly said, "Of course I can't!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "It's good that you understand, and I feel at ease. We are a king first, and then a father. As a king, we hope that the world will be peaceful. As a father, we hope that your family will be peaceful."

"If there are unfilial sons who try to obliterate this peace, don't blame the father for being ruthless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang yelled loudly, and the three kings stood where they were, afraid to move because of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrogance.

This is an old man who is educating his son from ear to ear. This coercion, this disdain, is like a violent storm!
The three kings are all daring and bold, and they are not afraid of anyone in their lives, but seeing Zhu Yuanzhang is like a mouse meeting a cat.

"Your servant will always remember the teachings of the emperor."

The three kings bowed down again.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Okay, I called you here today because you finally went back to Beijing together. Soon you children will return to the feudal land. When the weather is fine in a few days, we want to take you to winter hunting. Let's get together again, let us see if you have made progress over the years!"
