Chapter 21 Memories of Zhu Yuanzhang and his son!

Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace!

Today, this palace is sealed.

Except for some palace maids who come in to clean the palace on a daily basis, no one is allowed to approach the palace.

Because this palace is a taboo place for the current emperor.

"I see His Highness the Crown Prince."

The general who led the imperial guards on duty outside the palace and the imperial guards bowed immediately.

"Father must be inside." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"inside."

The commander of the Imperial Guard, Guo Ying, replied respectfully.

"kindness."

Zhu Biao nodded, looked up at the palace, and his face was full of thoughts.

Then he stepped into it.

In the palace!

Zhu Yuanzhang had changed out of his court robes, and a look of compassion hung on his face.

As far as his eyes could see, three spirit tablets were placed on the table in front of the main hall, and there were many burnt incense sticks in the incense burner on the table.

For so many years.

The incense in this incense burner has never been extinguished.

"father."

Zhu Biao walked in and called out in a gentle voice.

This sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was staring at the spirit tablet, was startled for a moment, then came to his senses.

"The boss is here."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and smiled slightly: "Pray to your mother and the others."

"Yes."

Zhu Biao didn't hesitate at all.

He walked straight to the table, picked up the incense, lit it, and placed it in the incense burner.

And when Zhu Biao was burning incense.

Three spirit tablets also appeared before his eyes.

The highest spiritual seat.

The spirit tablet of his wife, Ma Xiuying.

The identity of Queen Ma is not written on this memorial tablet, and she does not have any royal identity.

Because this memorial tablet was not erected by Zhu Yuanzhang, but by Zhu Chongba.

The word written on the spirit tablet at this moment is wife, Zhu Yuanzhang’s wife.

Two spirit tablets on the lower side.

The spirit tablet of daughter-in-law, Chang Wan'er.

The spirit tablet of the eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying.

no doubt.

Those enshrined in this Kunning Palace are Zhu Yuanzhang's closest relatives, who are also his real family. No, strictly speaking, they are Zhu Chongba's closest relatives.

"How many years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang gazed at the spirit tablet of Empress Ma, with a look of sadness on his old face.

"father."

"Mother and Xiongying have been gone for six years."

"Sister Chang has been away from me for ten years."

Zhu Biao stared at the three spirit tablets in front of him and spoke slowly.

"Time!"

"It's really a sharp knife."

“So many years have passed without me noticing.”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"The dead are gone."

"Dad, you should take care of your health first." Zhu Biao said in a gentle voice.

"Today in the court, it happened to remind me of some things that happened in the past."

"I still remember when we defeated Chen Youliang, your father-in-law was right in front of us. He said he would butcher Chen Youliang and present his head to me. In that battle, your father-in-law was incredibly brave. He single-handedly killed 78 enemies and beheaded Chen Youliang's son, making him a household name."

"After so many years, I can still recall your father-in-law's heroic figure."

"It's a pity... time has passed, and old friends are gradually gone. Your father-in-law, your Uncle Xu, alas..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, with a sadness that he only showed in front of Zhu Biao.

"father."

"It's passed."

Zhu Biao spoke gently, he didn't know how to comfort his father.

After all, my father is at this age and is very sentimental.

of course.

Even Zhu Biao often missed his son, his wife, and his mother.

It's human nature, who can say it's wrong?

"If our Xiongying were still alive, he would probably be fourteen years old now." Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly as he looked at his grandson's spirit tablet.

At this moment, Zhu Biao was also stunned.

He couldn't help but recall the scene when his mother, wife and children were still alive.

It is also the Kunning Palace.

A little boy of a few years old was running in a panic, surrounded by guards, as well as serving palace maids and eunuchs.

And at the back was a young man, Zhu Biao, who was holding a rattan stick and chasing after them.

"You little brat, you skipped class again?"

"And you took your twelfth and seventeenth uncles to rob bird nests?"

"Today your father will definitely beat your ass."

"You bastard..."

Zhu Biao held a cane and chased the little guy in front of him while cursing.

The palace maids and eunuchs around were serving respectfully, watching this scene in surprise.

The little guy rushed directly into Kunning Palace.

Obviously, he is the young Zhu Xiongying.

When he saw Empress Ma at the palace gate, Zhu Xiongying ran over quickly and rushed into his grandmother's arms.

"Grandma."

"My father has gone crazy. He wants to beat me again. He wants to beat me to death and force me to memorize my lessons. I'm only a few years old and he only knows how to bully me." Zhu Xiongying said very aggrievedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, grandma is here."

Empress Ma first patted Zhu Xiongying's back kindly, then looked at Zhu Biao with a stern face.

"Boss."

"what are you doing?"

"Xiong Ying is still so young, is it necessary for you to chase him like this?"

"What if he falls later?" Queen Ma said lovingly.

"mother."

"This brat loves to play and doesn't study, and he even brings his uncle to mess around." Zhu Biao stared at Zhu Xiongying with gritted teeth.

But now that he had a backer, Zhu Xiongying hid directly behind Queen Ma and was very proud of himself.

"Boss."

This time!

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the hall.

"Dad, why are you here too?"

When Zhu Biao saw it, he immediately felt helpless.

With my parents around, I definitely won’t be able to beat this brat today.

"What's the matter? Can't we have lunch with your mother?" Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

But when he saw Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately smiled kindly and squatted down: "Xiongying, come here, old man."

"Aweng."

Zhu Xiongying immediately ran towards Zhu Yuanzhang, calling out sweetly.

"Haha."

"Our eldest grandson has grown taller and heavier."

Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Xiongying in his arms with a kind face. He had none of the arrogance of a founding emperor, but only the doting love of an old man for his grandson.

The closeness between generations is fully presented.

Thoughts turn.

Zhu Biao sighed in his heart: "Mother, Xiongying, Sister Chang, are you all okay over there?"

……

The area north of Ming Dynasty's Daning Prefecture, the northern border, and the territory of Jianzhou Tatars.

Hundreds of cavalry surrounded a group of fleeing Tatar soldiers and the Tatar civilians they were protecting.

now.

Many of these Tatars looked at the Ming cavalry surrounding them with hatred.

"Those who surrender will be spared death, those who refuse to surrender will be killed."

Zhu Ying held a long sword in his hand and shouted softly.

"Damn Ming dog."

"My men would rather die than surrender."

"My men, fight them."

"The leader will avenge us..."

The leading Tatar soldier shouted and rushed towards the Ming cavalry in front with a knife in hand.

See this.

Zhu Ying didn't hesitate at all: "Kill!"

A low drink.

A horse draw.

The warhorse galloped out.
