Chapter 821 Descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang

Could it be that these down-and-out fishermen are descendants of the Ming Dynasty?

This idea existed in Chen Yi's mind for a moment, and then quickly dissipated.

That's ridiculous. The Ming Dynasty was hundreds of years ago. If they really migrated at that time, they would have been assimilated by the local aborigines long ago. Even if they could retain the former etiquette culture, it would not be so pure.

It has nothing to do with forgetting one's ancestors, but a natural fusion of each other!
Seeing that both Chen Yi and He Qingqing's eyes were burning, Zhu Jieshi sighed, the old wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened a bit, and he gave Chen Yi and He Qingqing a salute that was a hundred times more standard than in ancient TV dramas , walked outside the door, bowed deeply to the bright blue sky, and sighed deeply.

Chen Yi was confused by this scene. Could it be that this old guy is really the old Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty?

"Mr. Chen, Ms. He, this old man and his ancestors have lived here in seclusion for hundreds of years. It was originally peaceful and peaceful, and no one noticed. They were happy to hide their names here and live a happy life. However, this old man is unworthy. I was spotted by those greedy fools before, and now I meet Mr. Chen and Ms. He's piercing eyes again, so I don't want to hide any more..."

Zhu Jieshi walked over stooped, his back seemed to be bent a bit, and he spoke in a sad voice.

It turned out that his family was once the prince of Ming Dynasty, the descendants of Zhu Yunxi, the youngest son of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chen Yi had read the history in this area, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was forced to rebel, captured Jinling, forced Emperor Jianwen to leave, and demoted his brothers to ordinary people, the end was extremely miserable.

And because Zhu Yunxi was the youngest younger brother, he was only eleven or twelve years old when Ming Chengzu proclaimed himself emperor, so he made an exception and was demoted to the county king, and stayed at the tomb of Prince Yiwen, Ming Chengzu's father, to look at the mausoleum. But within a few years, this Zhu Yunxi died in a fire.

But according to Zhu Jieshi, that doesn't seem to be the case.

At that time, Zhu Yunxi did not die in the fire. He set the fire himself in order to make Ming Chengzu mistakenly think that he was dead. The anxious days when my elder brother was given a glass of poisoned wine to die.

With the help of his former cronies, Zhu Yunxi escaped from the sea, trying to find Emperor Jianwen who had been "usurped" by Ming Chengzu, but unfortunately encountered a storm, the ship drifted here, hit a rock, the ship was damaged, and had to go ashore to settle.

Originally, they thought that when they came here, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and the sea was wide enough for birds to fly, they could finally live a carefree life freely, but they didn't expect that Ming Chengzu didn't believe that Zhu Yunxi died in the fire.

So he sent Zheng He to lead the fleet across the oceans, in the name of promoting the great power of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact he was looking for news about Zhu Yunxi and Emperor Jianwen!
The emperor is also a human being, and he also has fears. After Ming Chengzu firmly grasped the army and officials, the only thing that could threaten his imperial power was this nephew and brother who were forced to leave.

If the two join forces to list their crimes and announce them to the world, although it may not be possible to regain the throne, it will also be a heavy blow to his authority!
Zhu Yunxi, who had just escaped from the prison, could only keep his name incognito and keep a low profile. Even if some local natives came to provoke him and ask for money, he would back down step by step based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Because of his low-key and forbearance, their branch has been retained until now, so this has become their family's ancestral motto!

As for those Indian groups who drove them here, when he once sold the paintings left by his ancestors, he knew that they were rich, so he always wanted to take them for himself with evil intentions.

This time they didn't deliberately forbear, but the difference in strength was too great. The other party had three masters who practiced yoga. They were not opponents. At night, I fled here.It is also a helpless move.

"Hey, Emperor Yongle has done a lot of good things to benefit the country and the people, but he is so cruel to his brothers and nephews. It seems that power is really a devil. It can send people to heaven or sink them Hell!" Chen Yi sighed.

He still admired Ming Chengzu very much. He compiled "Yongle Dadian" and made great contributions to the inheritance and inheritance of Chinese culture; he moved the capital to the capital and built the Forbidden City, which is still one of the symbols of China; In a stable environment, he even died on the way to the fifth Northern Expedition; all nations came to the court, North Korea paid tribute, Japan proclaimed its vassals, and Nanyang countries all worshiped, creating another prosperous world in China besides the prosperous Tang Dynasty...

No matter which one, it is enough to make his name go down in history.

"Hmph, you're just a hypocrite who deceives the world and steals his name!"

Zhu Jieshi snorted coldly, extremely disdainful, and said: "No matter how much he whitewashes, gathers literati and inkmen who have no character, no matter how many beautiful words he writes, it will not be able to cover up the hypocrisy and cruelty in his bones, and it will not be able to obliterate his disobedience. Ancestor's last wish, to drive away the evil deeds of killing nephews and brothers! He is a poisonous snake, ugly in appearance, sinister in heart, he can be called the most hypocritical person in all ages!"

Zhu Jieshi looked angry, his three-foot-long beard curled up and down, just like Ming Chengzu robbed his wife!
Chen Yi rolled his eyes, thinking that this old thing has lived a long time, how come he still looks like a cynical youth, hundreds of years of ups and downs, can't he still erase the grievances of their family?
When it comes to imperial power, it is not uncommon for the royal family to disown their relatives and kill each other. Is it necessary to arrange him after hundreds of years?
Besides, Ming Chengzu didn't do anything to his ancestors back then, even though he had no real power, he was still served with good food and drink, what more could he want?
Of course, Chen Yi just slandered a few words in his stomach and didn't say them out, otherwise Zhu Jieshi would be so angry that he would kick his legs and drive west!

You are so old, and you are so narrow-minded!
"Qingqing is taking the liberty. I don't know that Mr. Zhu is a descendant of my Chinese Ming Dynasty. I have offended you just now. I hope Mr. Zhu will not take it to heart." He Qingqing stood up and apologized.

"Miss He is too worried."

Zhu Jieshi got up to return the salute, waved his hands again and again, and said: "The Ming Dynasty collapsed due to the calamity of Zhu Di's descendants, and has long been silent in the mist of history. The old man is just a rotten tree with a dying age, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"

Even so, Zhu Jieshi still showed a hint of arrogance and self-satisfaction on his face. The identity of a distant ancestor still left an indelible mark in his heart.

The same goes for the other people. Chen Yi already knew that this group of guys were all surnamed Zhu, and presumably they were some kind of Zhu Yunxi's descendants. It's a pity that they have the blood of the emperor, but they can only live on this small island.

"Mr. Zhu, I admire your perseverance, and I feel sorry for your life experience." He Qingqing thought about her words, looking like a strong business woman, "However, we still have to separate these personal feelings from business. According to my What Mr. Chen meant was not to drive you away, but you need to sign a statement and an agreement."

Zhu Jieshi's smile didn't fully bloom, so he took it back instantly, looked at He Qingqing vigilantly, and said, "I don't know what the content of this statement agreement is?"

"We won't make things difficult for others, and we won't take advantage of our compatriots. We just want you to declare that this is Mr. Chen's private property. You are only renting land and living here temporarily. We can take it back at any time..."

Zhu Jieshi's old face changed, and the arrogance of the royal descendants just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gloomy and secretly hidden discontent.

"Okay, I'll sign the agreement!"

The Ming Dynasty has been dead for hundreds of years, and he certainly can't demand others with the old etiquette. He can't make sense, can't beat them, and wants to take advantage of them. Only a fool would think of such a good thing.

"Mr. Chen, the old man's family property is not rich. Although there are some belongings, they are left by the ancestors. Except for emergencies, I dare not resell them. I hope that Mr. Chen will be more considerate about the rent..."

Zhu Jieshi looked quite helpless, but Chen Yi didn't want to make things difficult. He wouldn't live here for a long time, and it would be a waste of land to be idle, so it's better to be a favor to him, not only to sell him face, but also to let them be guards of the island People, wait until I finish remodeling this place in the future, maintain the power and water conservancy equipment, and then spend my time hiring other people.

Moreover, Zhu Jieshi and his clansmen are also very skilled. They have no problem dealing with ordinary bandits and thieves, and they can be regarded as good bodyguards.

"The rent, how about this, I will charge you one dollar a year, and besides, after I complete the renovation, if you are willing, you can help me..." Chen Yi said his thoughts again, Zhu Jieshi was slightly excited, and thanked him again and again.

After they chatted for a while, Chen Yi wanted to go out and take a good look at his private island. Zhu Jieshi sent two people to lead the way, but Chen Yi didn't refuse.

Balu Island is in the shape of an ellipse, with a moderately tall hill in the middle, with springs on the hill, gurgling water, chirping seabirds of various colors, and full of business. Chen Yi, led by the two men named Zhu Tianlang and Zhu Tianqing, I went around all the places on the island, and I couldn't be more satisfied.

He Qingqing was extremely aggressive when discussing with Zhu Jieshi in the room, but beside Chen Yi, she was a well-behaved person, her coat was wrapped around her waist, covering her ivory white skin, a white shawl was draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing black sunglasses Yes, sticking close to Chen Yi's side, like a gentle bride following a man out for honeymoon.

Zhu Tianlang couldn't help but slander, and at the same time, he took a look at Chen Yigao. To make such a woman so well-behaved, it must be that this little Mr. Chen is not an ordinary person.

"Okay, it took a lot of time, two brothers, go back first, let's play in the water here!"

Looking at the blue water, Chen Yi felt itchy for a long time. Strictly speaking, since he didn't go to school and came out of the orphanage, he never really swam in the water for fun. A painful thing.

"Mr. Chen, why don't you go to another place, here, here..." Zhu Tianlang, who had always been respectful to Chen Yi, suddenly felt embarrassed.

"What's the matter, can't you go into the water here?" Chen Yi was a little surprised.

"No, it's not..." Zhu Tianlang's words flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Chen Yi.

Another man, Zhu Tianqing, said hastily: "Mr. Chen, there are sharks in this area. Last time we saw a big guy with a length of five or six meters..."

Chen Yi sneered, and said, "If there are sharks, I'll get them, and we'll make fish soup tonight!"

Without waiting for the two to say anything more, Chen Yi greeted He Qingqing, stepped on the beach, faced the white waves, and entered the water

The two of them stamped their feet on the shore, but couldn't stop, Zhu Tianqing said: "Brother, don't look, tell father immediately, if they see those things, we will be in danger!"
