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

Chapter 92 The Crown Princess, Die!
He stared straight at the old man outside the door.

For a moment, Mrs. Lu showed a look of being unable to grasp the essentials.

Really old man?
Why is the old man here?

Did the old man hear all the words just now?

After reacting, Lu's panicked for a while, his hair stood up coldly as if possessed by a demon, his bewildered mind was like a blank sheet of paper.

This time, Zhu Yunzheng was the first to react, and quickly went up to him, pretending to be calm and saying:

"Huang... Grandpa Huang, you are here!"

The voice trembled slightly, but the hand under the armhole could no longer control it, shaking as if suffering from a disease.

Mrs. Lu also woke up suddenly, and quickly climbed down from the sick bed.

"The concubine greets His Majesty!"

As if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see the two of them, he snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

"Grandfather!"

Zhu Yunwen rushed forward and grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes.

He knew that if his grandpa left like this, then his mother would definitely die, so he had to keep his grandpa no matter what, so as to have a chance of survival.

"Grandpa, grandson, I haven't seen you for a long time, grandson... grandson misses you so much!"

Zhu Yunwen raised his teary eyes and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in a daze.

It would be a lie to say that Zhu Yuanzhang has no feelings for Zhu Yunqi.

After Zhu Xiongying left at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang also taught Zhu Yunqi carefully, and Zhu Yunqi liked to read books, which was very much in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. Even after the prince left, Zhu Yuanzhang once wanted to train Zhu Yunqi.

But after the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying returned, he gradually discovered that this child who was originally simple-minded seemed to have become complicated.

But he also understands that after all, he did give most of his love to his eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying who has returned, and it is right for the child to feel unbalanced.

Since Zhu Xiongying is settled in his heart, then don't give Zhu Yunqi hope.

So Zhu Yuanzhang is deliberately avoiding Zhu Yunqi during this period of time, so that he can understand what he should do and how he should do it.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was full of deep love for each of his descendants. He killed many people in his life, but he did not do anything to his own descendants.

"child."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunqi for a while, and finally said: "You are also a good boy, but unfortunately, some people want to teach you badly!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly looked at Mrs. Lu who was lying on the ground with a pair of tiger eyes.

"Grandpa Huang, it's not like this. My mother loves her son so much, that's why she said some nonsense. Please don't blame Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yunwen quickly explained with tears in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to him, but said leisurely: "We thought that we could see through all the good and evil, that no one in this world could fool us, but just now we found out that we were wrong!"

"Over the years, so many heroes and traitors have been defeated at our feet, and they all went to the grave one by one, but I didn't expect that we were deceived by a woman!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu who was lying on her stomach couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zhu Yunwen wanted to speak, but was blocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand, and he continued: "After we take down this country, we will be on guard day and night, in case someone wants to destroy our country, but we never imagined that it was our own. There is a ghost in the house!"

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"In our life, we have come across mountains of corpses and seas of blood. We have never been afraid of enemies with open swords and guns. We are only afraid of those who hide in the dark and stab the knife. I didn't expect that the stabbers were actually our own family members! You should die! !"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu kowtowed again and again: "The concubine deserves to die! The concubine is ignorant, the concubine is ignorant, the concubine deserves to die!"

Lu didn't make any excuses at all, she knew that there was no possibility of her surviving, she just wanted not to let her implicate her son, so if she died, she would die.

"You deserve to die! You deserve death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, like an angry lion, and said bitterly: "We Zhu Yuanzhang is really blind! Fortunately, our eldest grandson has a big life, otherwise you won't be able to pay for a hundred lives!"

"Big grandson...fate?"

Mrs. Lu murmured in confusion, raised her head in a daze, only to find that the old man was followed by someone.

Take a closer look.

Lu's two thin eyebrows jumped up in surprise, his face became pale due to the convulsion of his heart, and his shrill voice was full of fear: "How is it possible? How is it possible?!"

Zhu Yunwen also looked suddenly, and when he saw the face of that person clearly, he was struck by lightning, his mouth opened as wide as the mouth of a box, and he froze for a moment, then he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if a twitch came from his throat. Like dry.

"It's you!!"

Zhu Yunwen screamed out in shock, and the melody suddenly sounded in his ears...

"Humph!"

Looking at the stunned mother and son, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted heavily, and said lightly: "Give the princess a face!"

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left with Zhu Xiongying, without the slightest procrastination.

He didn't want to pursue what happened back then, because those were all in the past, unchangeable and unimportant.

Now that his grandson is back, he won't let anyone hurt him anymore, that's the most important thing.

"Grandpa Emperor..."

After Zhu Yunwen was stunned, he shouted and wanted to catch up, but was held back by Mrs. Lu.

"Yu'er, don't! Don't..."

Mrs. Lu held Zhu Yunwen's hand tightly, shook her head constantly, and said, "Don't go, mother is doing it on her own, everything has nothing to do with you, if you go to beg your grandpa and get involved with you, mother will die. I will not rest in peace!"

"mother!"

Zhu Yunwen yelled, and the tears kept falling like pearls with a broken string.

"Good son!"

Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand tremblingly, and helped Zhu Yunwen wipe away the tears on his face, his eyes were full of love, and he managed to squeeze out a smile, and said: "Mother is wrong, it is mother who hurt you, what Wen'er said is quite right, It's actually pretty good to be a wealthy and idle king in peace..."

"mother!"

Zhu Yunwen choked up and said, "Shall we go back to the fief together?"

Lu shook her head with a smile: "Mother also wants to, but Mother has no chance, because Mother made a mistake, and people must be responsible for their own mistakes."

"Your mother should never, never should have forced you to try to get your hands on that position because of your own selfish desires. That position should not have belonged to you. It was my mother's wishful thinking. You are a good boy. All of this It's all mother's fault, let mother bear it all!"

"No, no..."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head like a rattle, and sobbed, "I'll beg Grandpa Huang again, what kind of vassal king, what kind of royal children, I don't want all the children, I just ask Grandpa Emperor to let mother stay with me..."

Suddenly, Mrs. Lu grabbed Zhu Yunqi's arm and shouted: "Yuaner, listen to your mother, don't go!"

Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something else, but the eunuch behind him had already stepped forward with a three-foot white silk, and said, "His Royal Highness, please stay away!"

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yunqi turned his head suddenly, his eyes were red, like a wounded beast, he roared: "Get lost!"

However, the eunuch was not relentless, and continued: "His Royal Highness, please stay away!"

"roll!"

Zhu Yunwen roared: "You damned eunuchs, don't you understand what this king is saying?"

The eunuch didn't bother Zhu Yunwen anymore, but handed the white silk to Lu's body, and said without emotion: "Your Majesty, please."

Zhu Yunxuan rushed over suddenly, threw the eunuch to the ground, smashed his fist down hard, and instantly beat the eunuch until his mouth and nose were bleeding.

"Yu'er, stop!"

Lu yelled, took a hairpin from her head and held it against her throat: "If you don't stop, mother will die right now!"

"do not want!"

Only then did Zhu Yunqi let go of the eunuch under him bitterly.

Lu looked at the eunuch, and pleaded in his tone: "Eunuch, can you give me a little more time, I will say a few more words to my son, just a few words, and after I finish, I will never embarrass Eunuch."

The eunuch got up from the ground and nodded helplessly.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly pulled Zhu Yunxuan to her side, and said in a low voice, "Xuan'er, you must firmly remember every word your mother tells you now, understand?"

Zhu Yunwen stared at Mrs. Lu with teary eyes, and nodded slowly.

Mrs. Lu said in a low voice: "First of all, after mother is gone, you must not resent. This is what mother deserves. You must not resent your grandpa, nor anyone else. You must promise mother!"

Seeing that Zhu Yunqi didn't answer, Mrs. Lu sternly said again: "Promise mother, otherwise mother will not rest in peace under Jiuquan!"

Zhu Yunwen nodded with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Lu knew that she didn't have much time, so she hurriedly said: "Second point, after mother left, you should immediately ask your grandpa to leave the capital and go to the fiefdom to be a wealthy and idle king, so that you can live your life well, don't Take care of the affairs of the capital, remember?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded again with tears in his eyes.

Mrs. Lu continued: "The third point, mother asks you, do you know the person your grandpa brought just now?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "He...he is that Huang Xiongying!"

"So it was really him!"

Lu's suddenly came to a sudden understanding, she thought of everything in an instant, stared at Zhu Yunwen and said quietly: "Wen'er, that person is your elder brother, the eldest grandson of the emperor Zhu Xiongying who died ten years ago!"

Swish!
Zhu Yunwen's eyes rounded all of a sudden.

Mrs. Lu didn't care too much, and hurriedly said: "Although mother doesn't know what's going on, you must promise mother that you must not provoke him. If anything happens in the future, you must stand by his side." , remember?"

Zhu Yunwen looked at Mrs. Lu in a daze.

At this time, the eunuch stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it's almost time, don't make things difficult for the servants."

"Quickly promise mother!"

Lu clasped her hands tightly, and her nails had dug into Zhu Yunqi's flesh: "Quick! Don't let mother leave uneasy!"

The eunuch behaved well this time, several people stepped forward together, held Zhu Yunwen firmly, and dragged him out of the door.

Zhu Yunwen panicked and wanted to struggle.

But how could his frail body be the opponent of several eunuchs who were still boys, which made him hurriedly shout: "Mother, I agree! I promise you all!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled lovingly and gratifiedly at Zhu Yunqi.

"My lady, please."

It was only after Lu accepted Bai Ling that she suddenly felt the fear of death.

In the face of death, few people can be calm.

Obviously, Mrs. Lu is not one of the rare people, just for a moment, she seems to have aged ten years.

She tried to stand up, but her legs were as limp as noodles.

Fortunately, Wen'er is not here...

At this moment, apart from the fear of death, Lu's heart is full of her precious son Zhu Yunqi. For her son, she must die, and she must die quickly and thoroughly.

Heart is crossed.

Mrs. Lu got up and threw Bai Ling to the door beam with all her strength.

The white silk fell down, like pear blossoms blooming in my hometown.

Mrs. Lu tied a knot slowly, then climbed up the stool tremblingly, and hung her neck on the white silk.

Wen'er, mother is gone, mother is sorry for you...

pat!

The stool was kicked over.

Lu's body was covered with white silk...

I don't know how long it took.

The eunuchs had all left, and the East Palace fell into silence.

Under the swaying palace lantern, Zhu Yunwen staggered and scrambled to the princess' bedroom.

suddenly.

"mother!"

A heart-piercing cry echoed in the princess' bedroom.

Immediately afterwards, depressive and painful cries seemed to be pulled out with difficulty from the depths of the soul, scattered in the room, weaving a dark blue sorrow, and the palace lanterns became hazy and pale .

In the end, crying, crying all over the room.

The sharp and hoarse cry was so bitter, as if it had been soaked in coptis water.

Zhu Yunwen was howling loudly, only heard a cry of mother, but nothing else...

……

In the 25th year of Hongwu, the third day of August.

The crown prince passed away, and she was sent back to her hometown of Shouzhou for burial, claiming she died of illness.

This sudden news surprised everyone in the ruling and opposition parties.

Almost everyone knew in their hearts that the princess did not die of illness. Not long ago, Zhu Yunqi was named the King of Shou, but now the princess passed away suddenly and was sent back to Shouzhou for burial.

Originally, most of the civil servants in the court thought that the emperor would choose Zhu Yunqi, but now, no matter how the crown princess died, all this has already shown that Zhu Yunqi has lost the chance to become the crown prince.

If it wasn't Zhu Yunqi, who would the emperor choose?

King Qin?King Jin?King Yan?Or the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi?

Except for a few people who knew the inside story, everyone else had a question mark in their hearts...

……

Zhuangzi under Jubao Mountain is sunny.

"Master Huang, what is this?" A pleasant voice sounded.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Li Ren beside him, "This is the glass greenhouse I made."

"Glass shed?"

Xu Miaojin showed a curious look and asked, "What's the use of this thing?"

"Planting!"

"Cultivation?"

"Yes, it looks useless now, but once winter comes, it will be of great use. Look at this transparent glass, the sunlight can shine into the greenhouse through the glass, making the indoor environment temperature continue to rise, and the glass can make the room already heated up." The air does not radiate outside, and it can also isolate the cold air from outside, so that in the cold winter, the indoor temperature can be kept higher than that of the outside world, so as to provide conditions conducive to the rapid growth of crops..."

Zhu Xiongying used the knowledge he knew as much as possible to introduce to Xu Miaojin in an easy-to-understand manner.

Xu Miaojin half understood, but the more he didn't understand, the more he admired Zhu Xiongying's profound knowledge, and couldn't help admiring: "Mr. Huang knows so much!"

Xiaobao on the side raised his face and said: "My father still knows a lot, but he is busy all day and doesn't know how to find a mother for Xiaobao!"

Snapped!
Zhu Xiongying gave Xiaobao a brainstorm, which made Xiaobao look resentful.

Xu Miaojin couldn't help smiling.

Stepping into the glass greenhouse, Zhu Xiongying pointed to the melon seedlings that had already bloomed and said: "This is the watermelon that Xiaobao wants to grow, and it should be ready to eat when winter comes, but in the winter, only a freak like Xiaobao can eat it." I want to eat watermelon!"

"Humph!"

Xiaobao snorted: "Then don't eat it then, I'll treat my sister to eat!"

"Okay! Then sister, thank Xiaobao first!" Xu Miaojin supported Xiaobao with a smile.

Zhu Xiongying was speechless, because this stinky little treasure had already turned his elbow outward.

"What is this?"

Xu Miaojin pointed to the lavender buds growing out of the ground.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "This is sweet potato. I have already planted a piece of the first batch before. These are the second batch I just cultivated."

"Sweet potatoes?"

Xu Miaojin was startled when he heard the words: "I don't seem to have heard of such a thing."

"Of course you haven't heard of it."

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "This is a new crop I found. Don't underestimate this sweet potato. Its yield per mu can reach 25 shi!"

"25 stone?"

Xu Miaojin couldn't believe her ears. After a while, she was surprised and said, "Is it really so productive?"

Zhu Xiongying was not surprised by Xu Miaojin's doubts. After all, in this era, no one would believe this statistic.

"If you don't believe me, you can come back and see when the harvest is over two months later."

"Do not."

Xu Miaojin shook her head and said seriously, "I believe it."

Zhu Xiongying was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xu Miaojin showing a nice smile, but Xu Miaojin lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Sister, don't look at these boring things, it's not fun at all, go fish with me!"

Xiaobao's coquettish voice broke the slightly awkward atmosphere at the right time.

"Okay!"

Xu Miaojin showed a sweet smile.

Zhu Xiongying no longer cared about the two girls, the older one and the younger one, it was rare that he had free time today, so he just enjoyed the free time.

Once I return, everything will be different...

After more than an hour, when Xu Miaojin and Xiaobao came back, Zhu Xiongying was dumbfounded.

This Xu Miaojin doesn't look like a young lady, she looks like a wild girl who just crawled out of a mud pit.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's surprised eyes, Xu Miaojin smiled instead of being annoyed, and said with some pride: "What? Is it strange? Don't underestimate me, I can go up to the elegant hall, and down to the ground to fish!"

It seems that along with Xu Miaojin's ladylike appearance, her reserved and cold temperament faded away.

In fact, no woman is lonely, it's just that they haven't met a man who can let them get rid of everything. Once the coldness fades, they may become more enthusiastic.

Just like the saying goes, the goddess that cannot be profaned in your mind may be...

"But……"

Zhu Xiongying gave a dry laugh and said, "I'm afraid I don't have any clothes here for you to wash and change."

"what?"

Xu Miaojin was dumbfounded all of a sudden.

She didn't think about this, she was soaked all over, and her clothes were covered with mud, how could she put them back on?

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Xu Miaojin who was upset, and said with a smile: "How about I ask Lao Xu to bring me a set of clothes and change them for you?"

"what?"

"don't want?"

"want!"

Xu Miaojin blurted out, and then felt that she answered too quickly, her pretty face blushed slightly...

The setting sun rose from the sky, and the golden afterglow sprinkled the earth, and the whole Zhuangzi seemed to be dyed with a layer of golden yellow.

The golden light penetrated through the trees in the village and fell onto the dining table in the room.

On a wooden table, there are a few simple meals.

Xu Miaojin has already changed into Zhu Xiongying's clothes. Although they are too big and don't fit well, they are still pretty, but when she thinks that she is wearing the clothes of the man opposite, Xu Miaojin's heart feels like a deer...

She was used to staying in the room during the day, and she was already tired and hungry after touching the fish with Xiaobao for a long time, and she no longer had the image of the old lady, so she picked up the rice and started eating.

After one bite, the flavors of the half-fat and thin fried meat and rice were perfectly integrated in her mouth, making her face full of satisfaction.

"It's so fragrant!"

"Eat more if it is fragrant!"

As Zhu Xiongying said, he put another piece of stir-fried pork in Xu Miaojin's bowl.

"I want it too! I want it too!"

Seeing this, Xiao Bao hurriedly yelled...

Seeing from a distance, Lao Xu unconsciously showed a loving smile.

His real name is Xu Guangzu.

He worked as Zhu Yuanzhang's cook for 23 years, and later he was promoted to Guanglu Siqing, from the third rank. In contrast, the famous Liu Ji was only the envoy of the Taishi Academy, the third rank, and his status was only a little higher than Xu Guangzu's cooking. little bit.

However, he is just a cook, how could he know anything about court affairs!
After doing it for a few years, he retired from the court, and Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for him to live in this Zhuangzi, which made him very fond of it.

Xu Guangzu feels honored to serve the old emperor for more than 20 years, and now to serve his grandson...

……

In Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, and a group of civil and military ministers below stood respectfully holding wat boards.

After discussing the political affairs of the day, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "Ministers and workers, there are still two months before the Longevity Festival will come, and the 25th anniversary of the founding of the country will be celebrated again, which means that there will be another There is a lot of excitement, and you can drink to your heart's content again!"

"Ha ha--"

All the civil and military officials in His Royal Highness laughed loudly.

At this time, the emperor on the dragon chair was happy, and he was talking about the Longevity Festival, so the atmosphere in the court was relatively relaxed.

The so-called Longevity Festival is the emperor's birthday, which means longevity without boundaries.

This is a national festival. It is a very important etiquette for the entire court to celebrate the emperor's birthday. The whole country celebrates it very grandly, similar to today's National Day.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said with emotion: "Last night, we were thinking, why are we 65? These 65 years have passed in the blink of an eye, but we still feel that we haven't lived much!"

"Hahaha--"

All the ministers of His Royal Highness laughed again, dutifully playing the role of amused.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to sigh with emotion: "Time flies like an arrow! The older this person is, the faster life passes. You shout Long Live every day, but we don't know how many years we can live. In the blink of an eye, 65 years have passed again. I'm afraid I won't be able to blink!"

"So this time, we decided to let our sons come back on the day of our longevity. We haven't seen them for many years, and we want to see our sons too!"

His Highness, all civil and military officials nodded one after another.

Some exaggerated, and even wiped the corners of their eyes with their hands.

Liu Sanwu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, stood up and said: "The reunion of flesh and blood is a great gift for human relations. Your Majesty's move is very in line with the principles of the law!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Other ministers also stood up one after another.

After the princes are entrusted, if there is no important matter, they cannot return to Beijing.

Now, the emperor wants to see his sons, how can they obstruct it?
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Preach the decree!"

As soon as the words fell, a newly appointed personal eunuch handed over Huang Cancan's imperial edict to Li Yuanming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Li Yuanming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, received the imperial edict respectfully, faced all the ministers, and read out:
"Imperial decree! This Wanshou Festival, I call all the vassal kings back to Beijing. Everything should be kept simple and extravagant is strictly prohibited. When the vassal kings return to Beijing, they must not make a big fuss or harass the local area. They are only allowed to bring a team of 50 people to Beijing. The process must not be expensive. More than 100 taels of silver!"

"For ministers and workers at all levels inside and outside the capital, whoever presents a birthday gift, the value should not exceed ten taels of silver. Officials below the seventh rank do not need to present gifts, just present a congratulatory message and a congratulatory curtain!"

"Civil and military officials of the third rank and above need to submit another memorial, reviewing their own self-examination, such as whether they are loyal and brave as a general, whether they are honest and honest as a minister, whether they obey the law as an official, etc. Is it in line with the way of a sage!"

"In this way, we can show the virtuousness of my emperor, sages and ministers. It is not only in line with the celebration of longevity, but also in line with the image of a prosperous age. This is my admiration!"

After the imperial decree was read, all the ministers bowed down one after another and shouted in unison.

"Come on, follow your orders!"
