Daming heir

Chapter 179
"The imperial court has already rewarded a lot. All five of their families have been granted by the government. The compensation is sufficient and there is no shortage. Everyone is thinking of His Majesty's goodness in their hearts and knows that it is all because of His Majesty."

The old man probably felt a little emotional in his heart, and waved his finger to the door.

There were two young men who were guarding the old village chief when Zhu Yunxi led his troops to hunt down Ashikaga Meidie last night.

At this moment, the two boys hid outside the door, turned their heads into the room from time to time, and looked curiously at what their old emperor looked like.

It's no different from the old man in Zhuangzi next door.

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help thinking in their hearts, thinking that their own emperor seems to be very approachable.

But as the old village chief waved his finger over, the emperor's father also looked over.

The two boys suddenly panicked for no reason, and hurriedly retracted their heads outside.

The old village chief was already rambling on: "These two boys also said that when they grow up, they will also join our Daming guard, and guard our Daming for His Majesty."

At this time, the household registration system was strictly enforced.

But if ordinary people want to join the army, it is not forbidden.

Listening to the old village chief's introduction, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and waved to his grandson.

"This kid, after the Chinese New Year, he will be supervising the affairs of the new army. Let the two of them find this kid. He will train in the army for a few years, and then go to the battle to fight the enemy for our Daming!"

The old village chief's face suddenly brightened.

This is a promise made by the emperor himself, and it is worth ten thousand gold!
The old village chief immediately shouted to the outside: "Hurry up and come in and thank His Majesty for His grace!"

The two boys had heard the words of the old man of the emperor a long time ago, and their hearts were already full of joy. When they heard the old village chief's call, they hurried in and knelt on the ground to thank them.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with a smile, and started chatting with the old village head.

Before I knew it, I started talking about things like how to farm.

Zhu Yunxi took a look at the snow outside that didn't seem to be stopping, and gestured to the two girls with his eyes. He took advantage of the fact that the old man was chatting with the old village head, and hugged the confused little 23 who had been roasted Uncle came aside.

He didn't dare to let the little uncle 23, who was still warming up just now, run outside immediately.

"Move around, rub your hands and feet, pat your body, and I'll take you out to make a snowman later, and then ask Yutian to come and catch the snowball."

Tang Queqing looked at the man tenderly, and stepped forward to help the little Uncle 23, who was still drowsy and drowsy, stretch his muscles and bones.

Mu Caiyun was in high spirits. For a person who grew up in Yunnan and had never seen snow, the heavy snowfall in Yingtian City was the first time she had ever seen it in her life.

It's a pity, big brother, ever since the old man of the emperor nodded and allowed him to stay in the East Palace, and later marry the grandson of the emperor as a side concubine, he hurried back to Yunnan with the New Year gift that the old man bestowed on the Xiping Hou Mansion, and never had a chance to see him Snow at first sight.

At the scene, only the little eunuch Yu Tian who was waiting on the side, his face was full of bitterness.

His Highness led people to build snowmen, have snowball fights, and throw snowballs, but he was the only one who was hurt and caught the snowballs.

Do you pick it up with your hands, or with your face?
After a while, there was a burst of lively cheers from the yard outside the house.

It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang had lunch at Laoshan Huangzhuang, which he didn't have at the Zhuangzi, and saw the wind and snow outside that it was getting smaller, that he ended his chat with the old village chief.

"That old guy thinks we don't know how to farm, it's really abominable!"

Leaving Laoshan Huangzhuang, Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the official road with his hands on his hips, looking at the snow-covered Huangzhuang in the distance, shouting with righteous indignation.

Zhu Yunxi accompanied him and said in a low voice: "Old people are stubborn..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around abruptly, and said quietly with dissatisfied eyes: "Do you think we are stubborn too?"

"..." Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "The grandson didn't mention you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very upset, and muttered: "Before we left, that old man wanted to make a bet with us that Huangzhuang's harvest would be better next year. We refused to accept it and bet with him."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned immediately.

I bet I didn't see it just now.

He hurriedly asked, "What did you bet with him?"

After asking, Zhu Yunxi quietly swept to the several earthen kilns outside Huangzhuang, which were covered by snow.

Sun Cheng on the side also showed embarrassment.

The emperor's father didn't know about this.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang said confidently: "Let's make a bet with that old man. If he wins, we will be exempted from the five-year land tax of Laoshan Huangzhuang. If we win, he will go to the old man every ten days for us in the coming year." Fish white strips from the river and send them to the palace to be steamed."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, as if he was already wondering whether the white stripes in the river would be cleaned up.

Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to smile wryly, shrunk his head and murmured cautiously: "You're definitely going to lose..."

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, showing suspicion.

Zhu Yunxi laughed dryly, helped the old man and walked to the carriage parked beside the official road: "You are old and let your grandson be a fool, and when the summer harvest comes next year, Laoshan Huangzhuang must have a bigger harvest year."

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his palm on the carriage, hearing that there will be a bigger harvest next year, how can he hide in the carriage and go back to the city.

He frowned and stared at Zhu Yunxi: "You boy, tell me, is there something behind your back? Are we following the boy's way?"

Zhu Yunxi chuckled, as if coaxing a child, he carried the old man to the carriage to send him off, and then put the little 23rd uncle Zhu Wei under his arm, and threw him onto the carriage.

He said softly: "You are always ready to decree to waive the land tax of Laoshan Huangzhuang for five years."

After coaxing the old and the young into the carriage, Zhu Yunxi ordered to return to the city.

……

"What the hell did you do at Laoshan Huangzhuang?"

On the 24nd of the twelfth lunar month in the 22th year of Hongwu, the day before the first year of the year, in the Zhongji Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the fire with his hands, frowned and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was reviewing the memorial.

The girls Tang Queqing and Mu Caiyun have also been serving here for the past few days.

There was no sun under Prince Zhu's eyes, so he could only wrap a sheepskin blanket on his legs and read a book in his hand.

After Zhu Yunxi finished approving a memorial, he was so obsessed with the old man for several days, so he could only smile and say, "I don't know how the effect will be. Your boss has to wait for your grandson to verify the effect, and then come to receive the reward. If it doesn't work, grandson Not to lose face..."

"You don't even have full hair, how can you save face!" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily, then raised his eyes and looked at the two girls standing aside.

I don't know when this Zhongji Hall suddenly felt a little empty.

I always feel like something is missing.

He said quietly: "In a few days, my grandson will be one year older."

Zhu Yunxi replied: "No matter how old you are, your grandchildren are all your grandchildren, and they are all father's children."

Children are always children in front of their parents.

It is to start a family and start a career, and the reactions that one should have when facing parents as a teenager are all indispensable.

When you go out, you are talked about, but when you go home, you are disgusted.

Even playing and being lazy for a while, I am afraid of being scolded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said more and more quietly: "How about, we will crown you next year."

Crowned.

It represents the maturity of teenagers.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a clear and clear boundary between juveniles and adults.

But the coronation can be advanced or postponed.

After performing the ceremony of crowning the crown, it also means that the juvenile has become an adult in name and should assume the responsibilities and obligations of an adult.

For example, passing on the family line.

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his heart suddenly jumped.

A few days ago, the old man had only privately warned himself that young people should refrain from sex, and even revealed in a twist and turns that the old man seemed to have the idea of ​​holding a great-grandson.

Tang Queqing's face also blushed quietly, but Mu Caiyun at the side listened to these words in a daze, with a bewildered expression.

Just when Zhu Yunxi didn't know how to answer.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

This is the footsteps of Jiang Yu, the commander of Jin Yiwei.

After a long time, Zhu Yunxi can now distinguish the movement of a few very distinctive people.

He couldn't help following the old man who also heard it, and turned his head to look outside the side hall.

It turned out to be Jiang Yu who was covered in snow, and walked quickly to the door of the side hall.

He stretched out his hand to untie the belt on his chest, and handed the cloak on his body to the eunuch waiting at the entrance of the hall.

"The Commander of Chen Jinyiwei, Jiang Yu, has something important to report."

something.

There is something important.

There are military matters.

Above the court, different words often represent very different importance.

Zhu Yunxi frowned suddenly.

Now that the new year is approaching, and the end of the new year is approaching, what else can happen to the court at this time.

He couldn't help looking at the silent old man, turned his head and shouted outside: "Commander Jiang, come in."

"The minister takes orders."

Jiang Yu clasped his fists and stepped quickly into the side hall.

Tang Queqing, who was serving in the side hall, immediately pulled Mu Caiyun beside him, and other palace eunuchs in the hall passed by Jiang Yu quietly, and retreated to wait outside the side hall.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, "What happened?"

Jiang Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a solemn voice: "My Majesty, it is snowing heavily in Zhejiang Province, the roads are blocked by snow, the houses in the countryside are destroyed, and the delivery of food is blocked. Now the government is unable to relieve the disaster, and there are thieves among the people who are colluding with each other and want to rebel. There are even more Japanese invasions in Ningbo Prefecture and other places, internal and external troubles, Zhejiang Road is now completely chaotic."

"They are so brave!"

Before the old man could open his mouth, Zhu Yunxie immediately scolded him, and there was a murderous look between his eyebrows besides anxiety.

Something big is going to happen in Zhejiang Road!

Snow disasters, civil uprisings, Japanese plagues.

Adding the three together, coupled with the incompetence of the government's relief, it is impossible for Zhejiang Province to have a good New Year this year.

Zhu Yuanzhang even said directly: "The Japanese invasion? My army of Japanese in the Daming Town has probably set foot in the Japanese country by now, and it is the cold winter months at this time. Where did the Japanese invasion come from?"

In an instant, the majesty of the emperor dissipated.

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and stood up, his hands clenched into fists.

"Are they cheating my ignorance!"
