Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 6
On the other side, when Fu Youde returned to the mansion, he found someone at home waiting for him. .

It was none other than Duke Liang of the Ming Dynasty.

Sapphire, General Lan.

"General Lan, what's the point of coming to the mansion late at night?"

Fu Youde said to Lan Yu while sitting down.

The two are both veterans of the founding of the country, and they are both members of Zhu Yuanzhang's team that Zhu Yuanzhang planned to leave for Zhu Biao. They are in the same camp, and the relationship between them is naturally good.

Lan Yu smiled wryly, and said: "Old Fu, after the prince left, we couldn't sleep every night, so we came here to have a drink with you."

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean too!"

Fu Youde laughed.

This was the first private meeting between the prince's two important members after the prince left.

After a while, a table of dishes was served.

Fu Youde also happened to take out the jug of wine that Huang Xiongying gave him today, and after opening it, filled Lan Yu and himself.

"Hmm... good wine!"

Lan Yu smelled it, and grinned: "Old Fu, you are really a brother, entertain us with the good wine from your collection."

Fu Youde smiled: "General Lan, you are wrong this time, we are brothers, but this wine is not our treasure, it was given by a young man when we went out with the old man today."

"juvenile?"

Lan Yu frowned slightly: "Recently, I heard that the capital has produced a good wine. The quantity is not large and the price is quite expensive. Could it be this wine?"

"Oh?"

Fu Youde showed a suspicious look: "Is there such a thing?"

Sapphire nodded, picked up the wine glass, put it to the tip of her nose to smell it, and then poured it into her mouth.

The entrance is soft, mellow and thick.

"what--"

Sapphire frowned, then let out a sigh of relief: "It's really good wine!"

They were all born at the bottom, followed the old man on the battlefield, crawled out of the dead, and climbed all the way to where they are today.

As generals, wine can comfort their souls and comfort their bodies.

Meng Yuan's spirits are very rough, and can only quench their thirst, but today's wine is different, it really opened Lan Yu and Fu Youde's eyes, and it was satisfying to drink it down.

No wonder this wine is so expensive, no matter how expensive it is, the rich will buy it.

And it may be more expensive and tighter.

Putting down the wine glass, Lan Yu changed the subject and lowered her voice: "Let's not talk about that, now that the crown prince is gone, old Fu, who do you think will take his place?"

"General Lan, are you in a hurry to say this now?"

Fu Youde glanced at Lan Yu.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Lan Yu asked back, and then said: "The old man is old, the prince is new, and the crown prince is empty, so it is imperative to establish a crown prince."

Fu Youde took another sip of wine, and said: "The old man has his own decision on this matter, let's not speculate wildly, so as not to cause unwarranted disasters!"

"I know that!"

Lan Yu paused, and said: "But our heart...since the crown prince left, it's been on hold, and I can't sleep!"

Fu Youde nodded, expressing his understanding.

Why isn't he like this?
As the old prince's team, although they are in high positions, they are really a little embarrassed.

Once the newly established princes are not from the prince's lineage, they will definitely be purged. They are old and not afraid of these things, but what about the family members?

Therefore, who is the crown prince has a great relationship with them.

Lan Yu lowered her voice: "Anyway, although the prince is gone, we are deeply loved by the prince's kindness, and we only recognize people from the prince's line!"

This was arrogant, but Fu Youde still nodded.

Therefore, the prince Zhu Biao can be said to be the most stable and powerful prince in history.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang is alive around the founding ministers, all of them are used by Zhu Biao.

Li Shanchang was appointed as the prince's young teacher, Xu Da was appointed as the prince's young tutor, Chang Yuchun was appointed as the prince's Shaobao, and Feng Sheng was appointed as the right Zhan.Deng Yu, Tang He and Yude, Liu Bowen and Zhang Yi served as Zanshan doctors.In addition, Kang Maocai, Zhang Xingzu, Lan Yu, and Fu Youde were all used by him.

And all of this was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang, which can be seen from his strong team.

Regarding court affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang even made it clear that all affairs should be decided by Zhu Biao, and then he can just ask.

But when the prince passed away, everything changed.

He gave the East Palace "the strongest configuration in history", but in the end he fetched water from a bamboo basket, and Zhu Yuanzhang cried bitterly at Huang Xiongying's place. Fu Youde understood it too well.

But sadness is not Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest enemy, it is the team of the old princes around him.

Because there is no prince, only Zhu Yuanzhang himself can suppress them, just look at what Lan Yu said just now.

At present, the biggest problem facing Zhu Yuanzhang is...

Reserve!

Lan Yu understood, and so did Fu Youde.

So, Sapphire came to visit late at night...

Thinking of this, Fu Youde finally couldn't help but said: "General Lan, do you know who gave this wine today?"

"Didn't you mean a young man by the Qinhuai River?"

Sapphire showed a puzzled look: "Could it be that there is something special about this person?"

Fu Youde took a sip of his wine and said slowly: "The young man looks very similar to the prince, with the shadow of Yu Wang Zhu Xiongying in his brows faintly visible, and... and his name is Huang Xiongying, by accident, He also recognized the old man as his grandfather..."

"Bang!"

Before Fu Youde could finish speaking, the wine glass in Lan Yu's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"you say……"

Lan Yu still couldn't believe her ears, she stood up abruptly, staring at Fu Youde with her eyes like copper bells: "You said... that boy might be the grandson of the emperor who passed away ten years ago?"

Fu Youde nodded, then shook his head: "It's possible, but it's unlikely. How could a person who has been dead for ten years reappear again? It's weird!"

Sapphire's head was buzzing now, and she slumped back to her seat.

a long time.

Lan Yu just swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten her parched throat, and murmured in a hoarse voice: "If it is really the grandson of the emperor, we will give up this life to protect the blood of the prince!"

Fu Youde looked at Lan Yu, who still had a dull expression, and didn't know whether it was good or not to tell the latter about this matter.

But he could vaguely feel that if this young man was really the grandson of the emperor, then this would be a turning point for their group of former princes.

But Fu Youde calmly advised:

"Until the truth of the matter is clarified, the matter is serious and must not be made public."

Sapphire gradually recovered from the shock, and nodded slowly...

……

By the Qinhuai River,

People also came to Huang Xiongying's house.

"Brother Ying, this is the share for this time."

A middle-aged man in brocade clothes handed a bag of copper coins to Huang Xiongying, and said: "I heard that your father left a while ago, so give me some more, and treat it as my gift to your father."

"Thank you, Young Master Zhou."

Huang Xiongying took the money and thanked him without much expression.

Mr. Zhou smiled like a spring breeze: "Thank you, thank you. You are all on your own. By the way, if you have any difficulties in the future, let me tell Mr. Zhou. If anyone dares to bully you, report our name!"

Huang Xiongying nodded.

Young Master Zhou exchanged pleasantries with Huang Xiongying, and then left.

Looking at the rather smug back, Huang Xiongying chuckled: "I still give you Zhou Ji's name? Do I think I didn't die fast enough?"

Mr. Zhou's real name is Zhou Ji, and he is an unknown junior.

But his father is amazing.

His father is Zhou Dexing!

That was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, one of the 24 generals in Huaixi, who grew up wearing the same trousers as the current Emperor Hongwu.

It was rumored that this Zhou Dexing was a childhood buddy who played in mud, had a peeing competition with Emperor Hongwu, herded cattle for the landlord, played war games together, and even stole the landlord's calf.

Mr. Hongwu was squeezed out by Guo Zixing's two sons in his early years, so he had to leave Haozhou and start a new life.

At that time, there were only 24 people who followed Mr. Hong Wu to leave Haozhou.

Zhou Dexing is one of these 24 people.

Nowadays, Zhou Dexing can be described as extremely powerful.

And soon, this powerful master will be slaughtered by Emperor Hongwu.

Why?

It was because of Zhou Ji who had just left.

Zhou Ji is a very cheating master. Relying on his father's power and power, he behaved mischievously in the capital, and Emperor Hongwu turned a blind eye to him.

But this week Ji was so bold that he had an affair with a maid in the palace.

What is the identity of the maid?
That's the emperor's father's woman!

Dare to touch his own woman, can the emperor let him go?
After the incident, Zhou Ji was arrested, Zhou Dexing was also implicated, and the public land was confiscated. Even though he held the gold medal in his hand, his whole family was still killed.

But with such a cheating master, how could Huang Xiongying hook up with such a person?
All this is because of Huang Xiongying's household registration.

Huang Xiongying is a member of the military, so he can only serve in the army for generations, not farming, let alone doing business.

But he wants to make money again.

There is no way, he can only sell his products, wine and salt through the black market.

It is equivalent to being a black workshop, handing over the products produced by oneself to other qualified people for terminal sales.

And Huang Xiongying's products are good enough, there is no better product than his on the market.

Soon, his products attracted the attention of a firm, which was willing to help Huang Xiongying sell his products, but the income was [-]-[-]%.

This point is somewhat similar to the TV series Breaking Bad that Huang Xiongying later watched.

Huang Xiongying later found out that the boss behind the firm was none other than Mr. Zhou Ji.

After several contacts, Zhou Ji admired Huang Xiongying very much.

Huang Xiongying is completely different from his reckless subordinates.

Courageous, daring to fight, and willing to let go, these three qualities are already rare.

Not to mention, he is also very creative and talented.

Such a person, no matter which path he takes, will surely become a great weapon in the future, but he likes to do business, and he is a military member who cannot do business, which is exactly what Zhou Ji wants.

To know the recipes for making wine and salt in his hands is priceless!

Zhou Ji felt like he was going to an antique shop and accidentally picked up a treasure that no one knew but had great potential.

But the only problem is that Huang Xiongying's temper is a bit difficult to control. On the surface, he seems to be smiling at him, but in fact he is a difficult person to deal with.

It can be seen from the fact that I asked him for wine and salt recipes several times, and promised to do big things with him, but he politely refused.

Zhou Ji, who went out, was still thinking about it.

What I did this time can be regarded as a grass snake gray line, with a long way to go, but that kid still refused to enter the game.

He has no patience.

If it doesn't work, I can only do it myself...
