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

Chapter 9

Huang Tieniu's tomb.

An old man and a young man stood side by side, behind them were the Liao brothers in plain clothes.

Huang Xiongying lit three incense sticks and bowed:
"Father, we're here to see you. Look who's here. The old man you admire the most is also here."

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly to pay respects to the deceased.

The Liao brothers clicked their tongues secretly, this yellow iron cow could really smoke, the emperor himself came to pay homage to him.

"Father, you have worked hard and worked hard all your life, but in the end you haven't enjoyed a few years of blessings. I hope you can enjoy the blessings in heaven and find a good family in your next life. It's best to be a noble person in heaven, so you don't have to work so hard..."

Huang Xiongying was talking while burning the paper.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the side, listened, and there was inevitably a burst of sadness in his heart.

Although his son is a nobleman, he is also conscientious and has worked hard all his life.

From the age of 13, Zhu Biao was established as the prince.

From then on, the 25-year road to the prince began.

The old prince has always been the hardest thing to be. He has to face the emperor, he has to take care of his brothers and courtiers, and he has to shoulder the expectations of everyone. If he makes a mistake, it will cause rumors.

However, Zhu Biao did a good job, which can be called perfection.

He didn't let the emperor down, didn't let down Ming's courtiers, didn't let down his younger brothers.

He is the greatest pride of the old man in his life.

He was supposed to open up the Ming Dynasty with unparalleled beauty and eternal prosperity.

But now it's all gone...

After burning the paper, Huang Xiongying turned back to look at the sad old man, and comforted him: "Old man, don't be sad, he is a person, he must die, he is the most honorable prince of the Ming Dynasty, he passed away not long ago Is it?"

"If you die, everything will cease, but if you are alive, you must live well."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, those who are alive must live well!"

Time can't smooth out sadness, it can only hide it deeply.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has been relieved a lot. What he needs now is to look forward, to find an excellent successor for the Great Ming Dynasty he founded, and then use the rest of his life to clear away all obstacles for this successor.

Looking at Huang Xiongying, Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly:
"Son, can you tell us about you and... your father?"

"Grandpa, let me tell you something, don't get excited, actually..."

Huang Xiongying thought for a while, and finally said: "Actually, I was not born to my father!"

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened all of a sudden.

"Master, don't get excited."

Huang Xiongying quickly comforted Zhu Yuanzhang: "Although I am not my own, I treat my father just like my own father, and I will treat you as my own grandfather in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang stared blankly at this familiar yet unfamiliar face.

picture!
So much like his grandson!

And he can see that the child's feelings for him cannot be faked.

What the old man values ​​most in his life is his family.

This child didn't even know that he was Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He really regarded himself as a family member.

But when it comes to the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he has to be ten thousand times more cautious.

"Good boy."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with kindness on his face: "We understand your intentions, whether it is your own or not, we will treat you as our own grandson in the future!"

Regardless of whether this child is his grandson or not, Zhu Yuanzhang will love this child in the future and will not let this child be wronged.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something and asked, "Then where did your father pick you up?"

"Father didn't say anything."

Huang Xiongying shook his head: "I just remember that when I woke up, I was at Dad's house."

"Then... how old are you then?"

"Eight years old."

eight years old?

This word made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart skip a beat.

His grandson Zhu Xiongying also died ten years ago when he was eight years old.

"You came to your father's house ten years ago?"

"Yes."

"When will that be?"

"About winter."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart rose in his throat.

Right.

It's all right!

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to ask: "Then do you still remember where you lived before you were eight years old?"

Huang Xiongying shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I don't have any memory of what happened before I was eight years old."

He can't always say that he has traveled through time, but he lived in a good era before.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little anxious when he heard the words, but he still said patiently:

"Son, think about it again, what do you remember? For example, who are your parents? Did you leave any tokens for you?"

Huang Xiongying still shook his head: "No."

"Hey--"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly.

"The sun is going down, let's go."

The disappointment on Zhu Yuanzhang's face could not be concealed.

Almost.

He was almost there, and he could confirm Huang Xiongying's identity.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that he was getting old, and today's Ming Dynasty needed a legal and excellent heir.

Huang Xiongying didn't know why, so he helped the old man and walked home...

……

Back to the small courtyard by the Qinhuai River, Zhu Yuanzhang did not stay long.

Because at this moment, he was in a state of disarray.

When he returned to the palace, the sky was just like his state of mind, with thunder and lightning, and a storm was coming.

When he came to Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang finally saw the figure he had been thinking about for the past two days.

Jin Yiwei Commander, Jiang Yu.

Seeing Jiang Yu who hurried forward, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:
"Trash! We asked you to investigate someone, and you have been investigating for two whole fucking days? Did you find out?"

Jiang Yu bent down, and replied with a slightly trembling voice: "Go back to the emperor, check...it's found out."

"Come in and talk."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked into his own imperial study while talking.

Jiang Yu hurriedly followed...

After Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, he completely changed his appearance, his eyes were frighteningly sharp.

"Tell me, what have you found?"

Jiang Yu controlled it as much as possible, not letting himself tremble, and replied: "Go back to the emperor, I have found out that Mr. Huang Xiaolang is not Huang Tieniu's own son!"

"We know that!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Jiang Yu coldly: "What else?"

Jiang Yu's back was already wet with cold sweat. He knew that if he couldn't say anything that the old man was interested in, he, the commander of Jinyiwei, would throw it away.

Jiang Yu hurriedly said: "Also, Huang Tieniu was originally a frontier soldier. After retiring, he served as a guard in the palace. When King Huai passed away, he served as a funeral guard and sent King Huai to Zhongshan!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Continue talking."

Jiang Yu knew that his position as commander should be kept, so he relaxed a lot, and continued:

"I also found out that there was a lot of wind and rain on the day of the funeral, so the whole team had no choice but to spend the night in the Town God's Temple at the foot of the mountain. That night, there were lightning and thunder, and heavy rain. This night, it was Huang Tieniu's team leader."

"After the burial of King Huai, Huang Tieniu resigned from his position as a guard in the palace and worked odd jobs in the capital to make a living."

"that's it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the results of this investigation.

Because these alone are not enough to prove that Huang Xiongying is the dead emperor's grandson, Zhu Xiongying.

Jiang Yu hurriedly said: "The humble job has also found a person!"

"Who?"

"The doctor who Huang Tieniu sent Mr. Huang Xiaolang to ask for treatment!"

"What about people?"

"It's been taken to the palace to wait."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Didn't you scare me?"

"Back to the emperor, this time I acted extremely carefully, and didn't alarm anyone, nor did I frighten anyone!"

Jiang Yu imperceptibly defended himself, why it took two days.

He also knew that the matter was serious, and he must not leak the slightest bit of news.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction:

"lead the way!"
