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

Chapter 83 Entering the palace!

how……

Become king yourself?

Zhu Yunwen was struck by five thunderbolts, his face was stunned, and the surprise on his face could not be hidden even if he wanted to hide it.

and……

Shou Wang?

what is this? !!

King Huai is honorable, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that, but King Shou has nothing to say!

It was true that he was born as a concubine, but his mother is now the crown prince, which means that his status should also change accordingly, and he is also qualified to become the crown prince.

But now Grandpa Huang first named Zhu Yunxi Huaiwang, and then named himself King of Shou?

why?
why?
Even if he wasn't crown prince, how could he be worse than Zhu Yunxie?

How could a stinky younger brother who he didn't have to look at before suddenly crawled on top of him?
Zhu Yunwen couldn't figure it out, and couldn't be reconciled.

In terms of knowledge, appearance, and filial piety, he beat Zhu Yunxi a few blocks in everything.

but……

Grandpa Huang, what did your grandson do wrong?You want to do this to your grandson!
The grandson is just the King of Shou, but he, he is the honorable King Huai!
Could it be that grandson's hard work and filial piety for so many years are still no match for the word "di" after all?

Just when Zhu Yunwen was at war between heaven and man in his mind, Huang Zicheng couldn't help it, and quickly reminded softly: "Your Highness, don't you want to thank you?"

Only then did Zhu Yunqi come back to his senses, and quickly fell to the ground.

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded expressionlessly, and Zhu Yunqi's expression just now naturally couldn't escape his eyes.

Before the big Sun Xiongying appeared, he did consider Zhu Yunqi.

First of all, Zhu Yunqi's character is somewhat like that of the late prince. He was smart since childhood and extremely filial, especially filial piety, which was deeply appreciated by him.

Secondly, the third child Zhu Yunxi's natal family is really too powerful. His mother is Chang Yuchun's daughter and Lanyu's niece. If Zhu Yunxi is in power, it is very likely that the Chang family and Lanyu will control the government. Yunxi is young. By then It's really hard to say what Jiang Shan's surname is.

But now it's different, his great grandson Xiongying is back, everything has become logical and justifiable.

Moreover, as his mind changed, he also gradually discovered that Zhu Yunxuan's filial piety had deteriorated...

……

The news that the two emperors' grandsons became kings quickly spread throughout the court and the opposition.

All the ministers were shocked.

Only a few people who knew the inside story knew that the old emperor didn't come on a whim, but that he already had a clear candidate for the crown prince in his heart, so he distributed the entrustment.

Duke Ying's mansion.

Fu Youde, who got the news, was very happy, and couldn't help taking out the good wine he bought from Datong Street, and had a drink with Feng Sheng who came to visit.

If it was a few months ago, Feng Sheng would not have dared to visit the door rashly.

Because not long after the crown prince passed away, his son-in-law Zhou Wang Zhu Wei had secretly visited him, the old father-in-law, but the emperor knew about it, and was called to the palace by the emperor to have a good recounting of the old days.

After reminiscing about the past, Feng Sheng's clothes were all soaked.

How could he not know that the prince was new and the emperor's grandson was young, the emperor was afraid that there was a dangerous military alliance between himself and the king of Zhou.

From then on, Feng Sheng began to behave with his tail between his legs, staying in Fengyang's mansion all the time, never going out of the gate, and only going to Beijing to see him regularly.

Not long ago, the emperor took him to meet the grandson of the emperor.

Everything seems to be slowly developing in a good direction again...

"Good wine! I drank this wine to my heart's content, too much!" Feng Sheng couldn't help but slapped the table to applaud after he drank it all.

Fu Youde said with a smile: "Old Feng, it's been a long time since we two have had such a good drink, right?"

Feng Sheng nodded: "Yes, since I went to Jubao Mountain with the emperor that day, we feel more at ease, haha!"

"Just to be at ease here, we have to drink him three cups in a row!"

"Come, come, drink!"

The two drank heavily, feeling very happy...

But at the same time, someone is not happy.

East Palace.

Lu's face was gloomy, he almost bit his lip, and spit out two words from between his teeth: "Shouwang?"

Zhu Yunxuan on the side lowered his head silently, like a wounded kitten, secretly soothing the wound in his heart.

Seeing it in Lu's eyes, her heart hurts as if being pricked by a needle.

Like Zhu Yunqi, she couldn't figure out why things had developed to this point.

She didn't know what she did wrong, which caused the emperor to hate their mother and son, and actually put Zhu Yunxie, who was pinned down by her before, in front of her son.

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility.

That is Zhu Yunxi!

Since he was beaten in the university hall last time, the emperor called him out, and when he came back, he was completely changed.

He must have said something to the emperor.

It must have been bad things about their mother and son, making the emperor think that their mother and son have been planning all these years to deliberately suppress Zhu Yunxi and covet the position of the crown prince.

Can't be wrong, it must be like this!
"Third brother, third child, you are really a poisonous snake!"

Lu's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

Her previous worry was indeed right, Zhu Yunxi jumped out and bit her back, making the emperor think that his previous cowardly appearance was because he was afraid of her, making the emperor think that she was a jealous woman, a poisonous woman!
In turn, the emperor will transfer his resentment towards her to her son.

So ruthless, so poisonous!
Lu's heart gradually turned into a piece of ice.

Zhu Yunxi, you forced me!
But at this time, Zhu Yunqi on the side seemed to have lost his soul, muttering to himself: "Why? Why..."

"Zu'er, are you alright?"

Lu yelled in heartache, but Zhu Yunqi didn't seem to hear it, and was still muttering: "Why? Why is it the King of Shou?"

"Steam!"

Mrs. Lu grabbed Zhu Yunqi's arm at once, pushed him over, stared at him and said, "You haven't lost yet, you have to cheer up. Now that you and the third child are both crowned kings, I can only say that you are evenly matched. Everyone has a chance!"

"But……"

Zhu Yunwen looked up at Lu Shi with teary eyes: "But the boy is just a longevity king, and he is the Huai king!"

"Yu'er, you are wrong!"

Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "It's not groundless for your grandpa to confer you the King of Shou, have you forgotten? Your mother's hometown is Shouzhou, so your grandpa didn't confer the reward indiscriminately, and there are deep meanings in it."

"Duke Huai may not be very good, do you know? The word your grandpa hates the most is Huaixi Nobility. If the third child is tied to Huaidi, it may not necessarily be a good thing!"

After Zhu Yunwen heard this, his emotions, which had already fallen to the bottom, eased a lot.

The Lu family looked at Zhu Yunqi, and said quietly: "Yuan'er, don't worry, before you let a person be destroyed, you must first let him inflate!"

……

Huang Xiongying, who returned to the capital, was not idle.

What he cares most about is the sweet potatoes he planted.

Fortunately, the sweet potato seedlings developed very normally, so there should be no problems.

After that, Huang Xiongying planted some fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse. After all, his original intention was to test whether the greenhouse could play a huge role in the Little Ice Age.

On the other hand, going to Zhuqiao Town to acquire land almost spent all the money he had accumulated during this period, but fortunately, his wine and salt still brought him a steady stream of income.

Especially the salt area, under the operation of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, has formed a certain scale.

A large amount of fine salt is produced every day, and turned into dozens of precious banknotes.

Under the strong control of Emperor Hongwu, although the treasure banknotes have depreciated to a certain extent, they still have a high circulation value.

In fact, once the imperial court has enough reserve silver, it can be exchanged by the common people anytime and anywhere, and it is not impossible for the precious banknotes to be used as currency in circulation.

But with so much silver, it is impossible for the imperial court to get it all at once. You must know that there is even a shortage of copper in the market today, unless the imperial court can grab silver from other places, such as the country of Wa.

He has explained to the old man that the Wa country not only condoned the Japanese pirates invading the coast of Daming, but also stored a huge amount of silver mines in the country.

I just don't know if Emperor Hongwu will send troops to Japan.

But this is not something he can worry about.

It was Li Jinglong who brought him a shocking news.

According to Li Jinglong, the reason why his younger brother Li Zengzhi came to him suddenly was because someone in the imperial city instigated him, and he was also from the East Palace.

Huang Xiongying was very puzzled, why did he provoke the East Palace?

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility.

because of one person.

Xu Miaojin.

It seems that the youth in Chinese clothes that I met at Xu Miaojin's shop that day is very likely to be the future Emperor Jianwen, Zhu Yunqi.

"Oh, it seems that I have offended the future emperor!"

Huang Xiongying didn't care too much, in short, the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover.

On this day, Zhao Mian, Minister of the Household Department, found Huang Xiongying's small courtyard by the Qinhuai River.

To Huang Xiongying, this was neither unexpected nor unexpected.

He told the old man last time that he wanted to cooperate with the court to develop the salt mine in Zhuqiao Town, but he didn't expect the old man to move so fast.

What's more, it was Shangshu Hubu who came to visit him in person.

What surprised Huang Xiongying even more was that Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, put his attitude extremely low, even worse than Cao Guogong Li Jinglong before.

He even prepared a generous gift for himself.

However, this guy's gift-giving method was not as clever as Li Jinglong's, and Huang Xiongying ruthlessly rejected him.

When discussing specific development matters, Zhao Mian also followed Huang Xiongying's lead. He did what Huang Xiongying said, and he didn't refute it. He even offered to give Huang Xiongying a pump.

Of course, this was once again rejected by Huang Xiongying.

At the same time, Huang Xiongying was also shocked by the identity of the old man, what kind of existence could make the second-rank ministers of the imperial court bow down.

But this doubt did not bother Huang Xiongying for long.

Because that evening, the old man came to the door.

After a few simple chats, the old man said that he wanted to take Huang Xiongying to a place.

With doubts, Huang Xiongying got into the old man's carriage.

The carriage went all the way, heading straight for the imperial city.

After passing Hongwumen, it is the imperial city.

In the imperial city, there are five mansions and six ministries. It is already night, the lights here have been turned off, and all the ministers of the imperial court have also returned to the mansion.

The old man's carriage did not stop here, but continued to move forward smoothly.

Cross the Waiwulong Bridge and pass through the Chengtian Gate.

On both sides from Chengtianmen to Wumen are Taimiao and Sheji Altar.

And after entering the Meridian Gate, it is the imperial palace.

The old man didn't speak all the way, but thoughtful, looking at Huang Xiongying from time to time.

Looking at the majestic Meridian Gate, Huang Xiongying couldn't help being in awe while his heart was surging.

His heart beat a little faster, because after passing through the Meridian Gate, there is the most powerful, noble, and glorious place in the world, the palace city of the Ming Empire, the Forbidden City of Yingtian.

Huang Xiongying looked at the calm old man beside him in surprise, swallowed hard, and asked:

"Grandpa, are we going to enter the palace?"
