Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

"you……"

Zhu Xiongying had just said one word when he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Three years later, I returned to the temple again, and then something happened that completely changed my mind!"

"At that time, Liu Futong and Han Shantong opened the wave of uprisings, and various places rose up to fight against the Yuan army."

"What's more hateful than the Yuan court is those officials who are just sitting there doing nothing but eating and drinking. They asked them to suppress the rebels, but they didn't dare to."

"So, what should the officials do? They did something worse than animals. They captured countless civilians and told the court that they were the rebels, and then they killed them all!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, "The Yuan court is so corrupt and dark that the officials are so wicked. We can't hide anymore. If this continues, sooner or later, we will be caught and killed as righteous soldiers."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he shouted loudly: "Fuck the rebellion!"

"So that year, someone sent us a letter."

"Invite us to join the Huaixi Redwood Army."

"The man who wrote to us is called Tang He!"

Zhu Xiongying's eyes were no longer wide open at this time, but his mouth was also open as big as an egg, staring blankly at the old man in front of him.

My heart is beating like thunder!
"This road is not easy to walk. We cannot control the success or failure of the future, but we are young and crazy."

"Anyway, I'm all alone, so why bother rebelling?"

The old man spoke eloquently about the turbulent history one after another. Zhu Xiongying began to get goose bumps all over his body. He clenched his fists tightly, listening to the long-forgotten history!
"We will pack our bags again, carry our hopes on our shoulders, and march toward the Huaixi Red Army."

"At that time, the Huaixi Army was besieged by the Yuan Army, and we once again faced major difficulties!"

"Under such difficult conditions, it was unthinkable that I would join the army, so the Red Turban Army thought I was a spy and brought me before the commander-in-chief Guo Zixing."

"Guo Zixing asked me if I was pregnant."

"We say no."

"We keep talking."

After going through the transformation through fire and fire, Zhu Yuanzhang already had the momentum to overcome all obstacles and move forward. How could death possibly scare him?
"Guo Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, so he found Tang He. After the two of them confirmed it, we became Guo Ziyi's personal soldiers!"

"It was my first time to fight a war. I was not afraid of life and death and was very loyal. I was the first to go when there was danger. I never coveted money and property. Whenever I got spoils of war, I presented them to Guo Zixing. If I got rewards, I shared them with the soldiers. During this period, I worked hard every day and learned to read at night. All these things gradually gave me a high prestige."

"It will be very soon. I will be promoted as an exception."

"At this time, I also changed my name."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the trembling Zhu Xiongying and said, "From that day on, my surname is Zhu, and my name is Zhu Chongba."

at this time

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and then the old man said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Change it to - Zhu, Yuan, Zhang!"

"It's explained that the so-called zhang is a sharp jade weapon that can break and kill enemies!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang is actually Zhu Yuanzhang. We are going to be the weapon to kill and destroy the Yuan Dynasty. And this weapon is the ruler of the Yuan Dynasty, who forged the characters himself!"

"For the next twenty years, they will be afraid of this name all the time!"

At this moment, the old man suddenly transformed himself, and an unprecedented domineering aura emerged spontaneously, instantly raising his figure to a height that could not be looked up at!
Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth wide and looked at the old man tremblingly: "Grandpa..."

Boom!
A huge burst of lightning suddenly exploded in the sky outside the palace!
There was total silence inside the palace!
Boom!
There was a roar of thunder outside.

The drizzle gradually turned into a heavier drizzle, and in an instant, a rainstorm arrived.

The rainstorm in June came suddenly and unexpectedly.

The view outside the house gradually became blurred.

Gusts of wind made the door of the palace creak.

Zhu Xiongying stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, his mouth as big as an egg in surprise, but he couldn't say a word.

What Zhu Yuanzhang said today was very big.

Zhu Xiongying had imagined this day and also learned a lot of etiquette for meeting officials.

But not as shocking as Zhu Yuanzhang's.

When the three words "Zhu Yuanzhang" came out of the old man's mouth, Zhu Xiongying felt dry mouth and numbness all over.

Goose bumps kept bursting out from his hands, face, and head.

Zhu Xiongying's expression was dull.

I have reviewed a lot of the imperial Ming ancestral teachings in the past few days, and I am familiar with many rules. But now I really see such an old man sitting next to me, and all the etiquette has become a bubble.
Everything was such a surprise.

Everything was so unexpected, but when you think about it carefully, everything is so reasonable!
Zhu Xiongying wanted to slap himself?

As long as he was more careful, paid a little attention to the old man and investigated a little, he should be able to easily guess how much hardship the old man in front of him had experienced in the past.

No wonder the old man started asking himself so many questions.

Sapphire,

The imperial city, Wen Boqi, Xie Jin and Tie Xuan, everything was explained.

Because the old man wants him to take the position!

Everything is explained!
Zhu Xiongying suddenly understood.

His heartbeat quickened. Seeing the old man like this, Zhu Xiongying felt mixed emotions. He didn't know what to say or how to express his emotions.

He could only stare at the old man, his restless heart unable to calm down for a long time!
He taught me so many skills, including how to rule my subordinates, manage my family and country, and even the concept of love, as well as how to open my eyes and look at this feudal society and integrate into this feudal society. All the basics were taught by the old man step by step.

Zhu Xiongying's trust in the old man is engraved in his bones!
Zhu Xiongying doesn't think that he is a kind person. In fact, there is a trace of selfishness and revenge in his character.

But Zhu Xiongying restrained all his temper towards the old man!
If the old man could help me to stand tall and self-reliant, it would be like a rebirth for me in this feudal society.

It is just like when Liu Jizu gave the young Zhu Yuanzhang a few straw mats, so that Zhu Yuanzhang was qualified to bury his parents!
This is grace.

It is a favor that allows people like them who are about to lose their self-esteem to live uprightly in this society!
This kind of kindness is difficult to describe in words.

All in all, it is not easy to live in such a feudal society.

This is a great favor!
So Zhu Xiongying restrained all his temper, devoted himself to the old man, repaid him, and never asked for any feedback from him.

In the pitch-black darkness, the old man was the weak light that illuminated Zhu Xiongying's hope.

This light may go out at any time.

So Zhu Xiongying is trying his best and giving his all to protect this light.

Let him shine longer.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying's complexion and said softly, "Grandpa is sorry for hiding this from you. Today is very important to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang's body froze and he looked at Zhu Xiongying, then he spoke again, "Don't hate me."

Zhu Huai swallowed and wanted to say no, but he couldn't say it.

Mainly this matter,

It was really hard for him to accept it for a while. It was really hard for him to digest it for a while.

Zhu Xiongying shook his head slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"Even though I have done my best to prepare you, you are still scared."

"We said we would crown you today, and then tell you this. We said we would give you a surprise, but hopefully it won't be a shock.

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said with difficulty: "Grandpa won't."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Good boy, it's good that you don't know. I haven't finished what I want to say."

Not finished yet?
Zhu Xiongying's thoughts, which had just calmed down, were once again raised high!
Is there anything else shocking that hasn't been said?
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Xiongying and poured him a pot of tea.

Let Zhu Xiongying drink. This time, Zhu Xiongying was not polite.

I grabbed it and took a gulp, but suddenly felt that this was impolite.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, "If we are to settle this little bit of etiquette, I should have told you a long time ago. How many times? Every time you made up stories about me, I wanted to come over and beat you up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang patted the soft couch beside him domineeringly and said, "Sit next to me."

Zhu Xiongying was a little frightened, "Grandpa, this..."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "You are our grandson! I told you, you were and will be in the future."

"I have kept the fact of my supervision a secret from you, but I have never concealed my love for you. Do you want to be estranged from your grandfather now?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth, walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and sat down again.

After seeing the old man's gentle gaze, Zhu Xiongying felt a little relieved.

The old man at this time.

He does not have the aura of an emperor at all, and is still the old man who dotes on his grandson.

Zhu Xiongying was somewhat touched.

The old man was afraid that his behavior today would scare himself, so he tried hard to stay calm.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying was not afraid at all, but when he saw the old man's little thoughts, he was still deeply moved.

The old man was very thoughtful and cautious, so much so that he was afraid that any sign of his authority would scare his little grandson, who was like a frightened bird.

"I just said that I haven't finished speaking yet."

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and continued, "After I joined the Red Turban Army, I met Ma Xiuying. Yes, that is your grandmother, Empress Xiaocigao of the Ming Dynasty."

"She is Guo Zixing's adopted daughter. In the fifteenth year of Zhizheng, she gave birth to our first son, Zhu Biao, our Crown Prince Taimingyi."

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

When Zhu Xiongying recalled everything about his grandmother and father, it all seemed to make sense and he remembered it clearly.

“They are the most important people to us.”

"Now that your father is gone, we want you to be regent."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xiongying in silence.

Zhu Xiongying's heart was already trembling, with deep shock and astonishment in his eyes.

The palace fell into deathly silence again, and the sound of heavy rain outside could be heard.

I am the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty! I will be the regent!
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up silently.

With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the door of the palace.

Zhu Xiongying stood up consciously and followed the old man to the door.

The palace was empty.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Xiongying, "After Hu Huaiyong and Che Shanchang were killed by us, there will be no more prime ministers in Dapeng."

"I reviewed all the memorials myself, but when I think of my childhood experiences, what does this little bit of hard work mean?"

"There are several scholars in the palace, but they don't have the authority to review memorials. They just categorize the memorials for us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the heavy rain outside the door and smiled.

Close your eyes slightly.

Thinking of Xu Miaojin and everything she said to me yesterday.

His eyes shot open.

No wonder she said that.

If she lied to me...

Without allowing Zhu Xiongying to reminisce too much, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Remember the old farmer at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain?"

Zhu Xiongying was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky in the distance and said, "That mountain, it was night, and there was heavy rain and wind, um, similar to today's heavy rain."

"A very strange incident occurred in the Mausoleum of the God Mountain. You disappeared there."

"The imperial guards and eunuchs came back and told us that our eldest grandson ran away on his own."

"What do you mean by not catching up? I'm afraid they didn't dare to chase them too far, fearing that our grandson is a ghost and wants to eat them."

"Since they are not fulfilling their duties, we will kill them all and bury them all in the Emperor's Mausoleum at Zhongshan."

Zhu Xiongying stared at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly again, and suddenly felt his heartbeat quicken again.

Every keyword.

When this information reached Zhu Xiongying's mind, he began to feel extremely suffocated!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying sideways and asked, "Do you know anything now?"

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth: "I..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said softly, "Well, you are the eldest grandson of our Ming emperor, named Zhu Xionghuan. Now you are the eldest grandson of the Ming emperor, the son of Zhu Biao, the grandson of our Zhu Yuanzhang, and the new temporary master of the Ming emperor."

"Grandpa, I... this..."

Zhu Xiongying was silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Don't be too stressed, this is a serious matter..."

"Now you might as well think about it again. Think about it carefully. Why is Lan Yu so close to you recently? Why is Chang Mao closer to you than Lan Yu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying.

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying fell into deep thought, still accepting the fact that he was about to step into the spotlight and become regent.

At this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang did not disturb Zhu Xiongying, allowing Zhu Xiongying to silently absorb all the information at this moment.

....................................

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the sky.

It’s still early, no rush.

"My dear grandson, please don't blame me for not being able to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with you, not being able to spend the New Year with you, and not being able to reunite with your family last year."

Zhu Xiongying looked up at the old man and stammered, "Why, now, are you saying it again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I wanted to talk about it when I was infected with malaria that day."

"I'm afraid that I'll suddenly pass away one day, and I'm afraid that you're still out there and others don't know you, so I have to find a chance to push you out and let you supervise the country."

"We must find an opportunity to let all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty know where you are."

"So I thought about it for a long time, and I took the opportunity of the coming-of-age ceremony to explain all this."

"Liu Sanwu, Xie Jin, Tie Xuan, Lan Yu, Chang Mao, and even the officials of the six ministries, they all know that you are about to become regent."

Zhu Xiongying's cheek twitched slightly.
