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

He tried hard to stay the same as before.

Although I still can't accept it and feel a little uncomfortable.

But he needs to slowly digest and absorb these things when it is late at night and everyone is asleep.

in front of outsiders.

He still couldn't show any strange emotions.

But everyone has something different in mind.

From time to time, the officials would glance towards the main seat.

Because it was the emperor's family, grandfather and grandson, who were there, they could only glance over casually occasionally.

In fact, there is no need to speculate too much. The Ming Dynasty would not appoint a crown prince unless he was the legitimate heir. Although the old man has not yet decided on a crown prince, I believe it is only a matter of time.

After the sacrifice is completed, the old man will probably choose a better time to personally appoint the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty in front of thousands of people!
This eldest grandson is so lucky!
The crown prince hasn't even taken the throne yet, but he's already acting as regent!

Many people are born to be superior.

I just don't know whether the emperor's eldest grandson can convince all the officials.

Zhu Xiongying was drinking with the old man.

After thinking for a while, he whispered to the old man: "Grandpa, do you think it's in accordance with the rules for me to toast Lan Yu and the others now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "They are your elders. After your status has changed, you should get to know them again. Go."

Zhu Xiongying stood up.

of course.

He also had another purpose, he also wanted to let all the officials present see how strong he was.

Zhu Xiongying stood up with his wine glass.

Everyone's voices seemed to become quieter in tacit agreement.

Zhu Xiongying walked to the front of Lan Yu and other Huaixi assistants.

The few rough guys with loud voices have now become quiet.

Although Zhu Xiongying often called Lan Yu "grand uncle", both Lan Yu and Zhu Xiongying knew that it was only based on seniority.

But today, Zhu Xiongying, this uncle who has always been sincere and caring, is full of emotion!
Lan Yu stood up solemnly.

Considering that this kid lost his mother at a young age, he still doesn’t know.

The sadness of a son wanting to take care of his parents but they are no longer around arises naturally.

Although the boy has become successful now and is now elegant and handsome.

But how could these old-timers in the officialdom here know the experience of our nephew and grandson?

Lan Yu couldn't help but feel her eyes reddened for a moment, and said with emotion, "Hey."

This response, with great sadness and joy, "Granduncle is here."

Zhu Xiongying raised his wine glass and said, "Granduncle, I am an unfilial nephew. We are only now able to recognize each other. I wish you a long life."

"Okay, okay! Good kid! Your aunt misses you too. Come visit our Lan family more often. We have always been your home!"

"Granduncle has been lying to you. Don't blame him."

Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "No wonder."

Lan Yu's eyes were moist. She raised her head and drank the wine glass, as if swallowing the tears in her eyes.

Zhu Xiongying also tilted his head back and drank the wine.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch behind him poured wine for Zhu Xiongying, and Zhu Xiongying walked in front of the three brothers of the Chang family.

"First uncle, second uncle, third uncle."

The three Chang brothers had already stood up and grinned, "Good, good, good kids."

"I won't say anything more. You are a member of our Chang family. As long as our Chang family is here, we will love and care for you!"

Bang bang bang!
The three honest men raised their heads and drank the drinks in one gulp.

Chang Sen laughed out loud: "Good boy, just like me!"

The second son, Chang Sheng, shouted, "You are talking nonsense, aren't you? We are the bloodline of the Chang family, if it's not us, who else should we resemble?"

The old man heard it and shouted: "Your Chang family's ugly child looks nothing like yours, let alone us!"

The three men laughed, "Hehehe, yes, yes, like the emperor!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at the nobles from Huaixi and the other table of officials from the six ministries and said, "Everyone."

Everyone stood up suddenly.

A group of people raised their hands and drank the drinks in their hands!
Soon, Zhu Xiongying retreated back to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips with a gleam in his eyes and whispered, "You did a good job, little prince."

Zhu Xiongying scratched his head and smiled softly, "I didn't think too much about it. I just knew those few people. They were all introduced to me by you, Grandpa, so I just said hello."

"fart!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Well done, now that you have changed your status, there is no need to show favor to those small fish and shrimps."

"You offer them this glass of wine, which is the greatest honor for their ancestors."

"Huaixi Zhugui has taken care of you for a long time. If you don't respect them now, it will make them feel uncomfortable. Although they dare not say it, but you did it, this relationship will be more solid."

"There are also six ministries. They are the central axis of the operation of our Ming Dynasty. We can't do without them. As a leader, we should capture a few people and control the majority."

"You have learned a lot, and you are still so calm at this time. Good boy, I am proud of you!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "No, I am proud of my grandfather!"

A round of flattery.

The photo of Zhu Yuanzhang made me very happy.

Zhu Yunwen sat quietly by the side, watching Zhu Yuanzhang give all his love to Zhu Xiongying.

Jealousy, helplessness, loneliness….
A range of emotions came over me.

The drinks will disperse.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Xiongying: "Don't go back tonight. We often stay at your place. It's time for you to spend a night with us."

"Ling Wan will take you to pay respect to your mother's spirit tablet."

Just before the banquet in Wuying Hall was about to end, the old man stood up.

"We have one more thing to announce today."

Everyone was suddenly solemn.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked through the crowd and stared at Zhao Sili who was farthest away.

"Commander-in-chief of the Five Armies."

Zhao Sili's body stiffened and he stood up tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here."

Until now.

All the officials had just noticed the Wuying Palace and saw a sixth-rank commander sneaking in. They all looked at Zhao Sili with curiosity.

Zhao Sili was now extremely embarrassed.

In front of the Tianjin Bridge, he still remembered pulling Zhu Xiongying and telling him earnestly that the court had many dignitaries and many etiquettes.

Even just now, he was still pulling Zhu Xiongying, hoping that they could keep each other warm.

Now he suddenly realized that he was alone like a clown, a sixth-rank commander, yet he still dared to worry about the emperor's grandson.

think,

I wish I could find a hole to crawl into.

"Do you know me? Why did I call you here?"

Zhao Sili's brain was no longer able to think, and he blurted out, "Your humble servant is stupid."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Do you still remember who I am?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "That's not what you said at the beginning. You even made up a story that our grandson was a businessman. Have you forgotten all that?"

Zhao Sili was so frightened that he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my ignorance!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with amusement: "Then he came to argue with me, asking why we didn't hold the wedding quickly, and also said that my grandson was not disciplined?"

Zhao Sili was already trembling and could barely stand. The emperor was coming to settle the score!

Who knew you were the emperor?
Zhu Yuanzhang changed his tone and said, "Your ancestors have done good deeds, and your daughter is good. This marriage still counts. I promise to give that girl the most grand wedding. I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare a date."

boom!
With this remark,
Zhao Sili felt his mind go blank and completely confused!
It turns out that the old man asked me to come to Wuying Palace and it had nothing to do with me!
It turns out that I was able to have this honor because of my little girl!
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, all the officials looked at Zhao Sili again.

The banquet in Wuying Hall ended and Baiyi left one after another.

Zhao Sili felt a little dizzy and walked in the corridor with an umbrella. It was still raining heavily outside.

It made his heart a little confused.

Zhao Sili didn't know them.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao. Haha, I am the Left Doctor of the Ministry of Works, and I am also from Shouzhou Prefecture in Huaixi."

Zhao Sili hurriedly said, "So we are from the same hometown."

"I didn't know that. Lord Zhao is from Shouzhou Prefecture, so I know it's a happy event. I will host a banquet tomorrow. How about our fellow townsmen have a meal?"

The doctor from the Ministry of Works laughed heartily as he hadn't heard authentic Shouchun dialect for a long time.

Zhao Sili said casually: "Okay, okay!"

Out of the imperial city.

There were still many people who gathered around Zhao Sili to invite him.

This was in stark contrast to the lack of attention in the hall just now.

Zhao Sili returned home in a daze, his heart still feeling dizzy.

Zhao Tan'er hurried over to pick up Zhao Sili and said, "Dad! Aren't you holding an umbrella?"

Zhao Sili was suspicious: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Sili then noticed in a daze that his left arm was completely wet.

He laughed out loud: "Good, good! Daughter, good daughter!"

Zhao Tan'er looked at Zhao Sili with a question mark on her face: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Fools are blessed with good fortune!"

"Ah! What am I stupid about?"

Zhao Sili narrowed his eyes, smacked his lips and said, "Oh? Not stupid? Then let me ask you, do you know who Zhu Xiongying is?"

"Today, our Zhao family has truly ascended to heaven!"

……

This month, it rained in early June.

Huang Ming's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongyinghong was enshrined in the ancestral temple and included in the family tree.

He was awarded a jade crown and jade belt and all officials were invited to pay him an audience. The emperor personally bestowed them upon his grandson.

His name is Zhu Xionghuan in history?

The heavy rain was still falling on the earth. It was already evening and every household had lit up their lights in Yingtian City under the heavy rain.

Quiet, peaceful.

The crowning of the emperor's grandson was not a big deal for ordinary people. It was at most a topic of conversation after dinner.

But for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he meant that the Ming Dynasty would turn over the old chapter and enter a brand new era!
He meant that the situation in the court was gradually becoming clearer, and the hearts of the officials were gradually settling down!
Some are happy and some are sad.

Lights were lit in Zhao's mansion.

In the main hall, Zhao Tan'er was holding two pots of mutton, a plate of cumin, pepper, coriander, and garlic cloves.

I warmed up another pot of wine.

Bring it to Zhao Sili.

"Aren't you in the palace, attending a banquet? Doesn't the emperor give you enough to eat? This is too stingy."

Zhao Sili smiled and said, "You are so petty! What do you know? We are going to the banquet. It represents a supreme honor. Looking around, in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for your father, who else can enter the palace to pay homage to the emperor as a sixth-rank official?"

Zhao Sili took a sip of wine, picked up the chopsticks and started eating the mutton.

Dip it in some cumin and pepper powder and stuff it into the greasy mouth.

He smiled happily and even hummed a little tune.

"Dad, you just said that our Zhao family is going to ascend to heaven. What's the matter, Dad, do you want to cultivate immortality?"

puff……

Zhao Sili spit out a mouthful of wine and said, "Fang Jian, you are becoming more and more unruly. Your father can't afford to offend you!"

Zhao Sili suddenly felt bored and dared not scold his daughter loudly anymore.

Who says having a daughter is not as good as having a son? Isn't it that smoke is coming out of our Zhao family's ancestral grave?
"Girl, do you remember what your father said when your aunt was chosen as a concubine?"

Zhao Tan'er was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad, you were so envious that your mouth was almost watering, how could you even talk?"

Zhao Sili was slightly startled, "No, Dad, remember what I said about you, sooner or later this day will come."

Zhao Sili was serious.

Zhao Tan'er looked suspicious and stared with almond-shaped eyes: "Dad, what happened to you yesterday? What happy things happened to you?"

Zhao Sili looked around and asked mysteriously, "Girl, do you know where your future husband comes from?"

Mr. Zhu?
Zhao Sili bared his teeth and said, "Don't lose your composure after I tell you! Daddy is telling you, has the emperor's eldest grandson heard of him? He is the one!"

Zhao Tan'er was slightly stunned, staring at the wine glass in Zhao Sili's hand: "Dad, don't drink, this, hehe..."

"I'm going to sleep, drink less."

Zhao Sili was anxious, "Girl! Are you stupid? Would your father play this joke on you?"

Zhao Tan'er just turned her head and suddenly stopped. She felt a chill all over her body and her hair stood up.

"Dad? Dad!"

Zhao Tan'er's heart beat faster and her cheeks felt hot, even though she hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol.

But he seemed to feel drunk.

This……

Her mind went blank for a moment.

Cousin, I seem to see our father!

Cousin, Mr. Zhu’s grandfather looks like my father!
These ones.

These were the words Zhu Dong had said to her. At that time, she thought that the little brat was seeing things.

It turns out that everything has a traceable path!
This……

Zhao Sili looked at Zhao Tan who was standing there in a daze, and said with a smile: "Now you know why the emperor called you dad. I'm going to Wuying Palace?"

Zhao Tan'er exclaimed: "Dad, what about Mr. Zhu's grandfather?"

Zhao Sili took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right, he is the emperor of the dynasty."

hiss!
Zhao Tan'er's body stiffened. Things kept flooding into her mind, making it difficult for her to think.

Zhao Sili said, "Old man, you are so righteous. Lingtian has announced the marriage between Master Zhu and you in Wuying Palace. We just need to wait for the Ministry of Rites to choose an auspicious day, and then we can get married!"

"Daughter, you are going to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix!"

Zhao Tan'er looked at Zhao Sili in a daze.

Zhao Sili smacked his lips and said, "It's the old man who hasn't decided on Master Zhu as the crown prince yet."

"But, our old man said it himself that our dynasty will not appoint a crown prince unless he is the legitimate heir. It is only a matter of time before Master Zhu becomes the crown prince."

Zhao Sili looked around and asked mysteriously, "Girl, do you know who your future husband is?"

Mr. Zhu?
Zhao Sili bared his teeth and said, "Don't lose your composure after I tell you! Daddy is telling you, has the emperor's eldest grandson heard of him? He is the one!"

Zhao Tan'er was slightly stunned, staring at the wine glass in Zhao Sili's hand: "Dad, don't drink!"

"I'm going to sleep, drink less."

Zhao Sili was anxious, "Girl, are you stupid? Would your father play this joke on you?"
