Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 13
The aftertaste of Chinese New Year has long dissipated like smoke in Shuofang, but the bone-chilling cold still rages in the camps of the military towns of all parties.

When Xu Da received the imperial edict sent by Kuaima, he couldn't help frowning.

The Northern Expedition three years ago ended disastrously, and the remnants of the Mongol Yuan not only gained the most precious respite, but even became more arrogant because of it.

In October last year, Wang Baobao led his soldiers and horses to plunder and plunder Shanxi.

In the same month, soldiers and horses of Emperor Yuan Shun's direct line slaughtered thousands of people at the border.

These aliens who have ruled the Central Plains for more than 100 years only care about eating, drinking and enjoying themselves, but they have not learned the best farming civilization in China.Now that the spring snow is about to melt, those Tartars who sit and eat the mountains and empty mountains will inevitably be in short supply of food and supplies after a winter of consumption.The next period of time will undoubtedly be the most severe time for the border situation.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted to call himself and Feng Sheng back.

He, the commander of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north.Feng Sheng, the commander-in-chief of the Linqing army.

From the overall strategy of resisting Meng Yuan's joining the army, he and Feng Sheng are absolutely indispensable two links.

This overall strategy was determined by Zhu Yuanzhang himself after the failure of the Northern Expedition in the fifth year of Hongwu.But now knowing that they are so important, but still ordering them to be recalled, Xu Da felt a little worried for no reason.

With his hypocrisy with Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da is not afraid that this elder brother will deal with him at this time.Excluding this consideration, there may be only one answer—the situation in Ying Tianfu has changed, and Zhu Yuanzhang urgently needs them to return to Beijing to sit in charge.

But, with that city and wrist, do they really need them?

Like Xu Da, Feng Sheng had the same concerns.

But in the end they chose to answer the call.

In February, Yimao Day.

It is advisable to travel, sacrifice, and recognize relatives.

It is the most suitable nest when it is warm and cold.So Zhu Ji was woken up in his sleep, and then got into the carriage with a dazed mind, and stepped into the courtyard house by Mochou Lake again.

Zhu Ji, who had not washed or bathed, and who already had a slight odor, was sent directly to the backyard.

Looking at the elegant table in the courtyard, and the exquisitely carved spirit tablets on the table.Zhu Ji saw the serious faces of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma in the clouds of agarwood curling up from the luxurious copper furnace in front of the spirit tablet.

"Kneel down."

Under the serious atmosphere, Zhu Ji obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's order in a low voice inexplicably.

Kneeling on the ground, he suddenly remembered that this kneeling was really unreasonable. He was about to get up, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang again:
"do not move."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely serious.

The spirit tablet in front of Zhu Ji is exactly his dead parents and brothers that he has been enshrining in this yard.

The purpose of calling Zhu Ji here is to let the dead of the old Zhu family see him, the eldest son who has been lost for many years, recognize his ancestor and return to the clan in advance.

Inserting three high-quality agarwoods into the copper furnace on the case table, Zhu Yuanzhang held Empress Ma's hand and stood in front of Zhu Ji, looking into Zhu Ji's somewhat confused eyes, and said very seriously:
"Bastard boy, I called you here today to tell you something. Next, I say, listen. After I finish speaking, you will interrupt again. Do you understand?"

To be honest, Zhu Ji has never seen such a serious Zhu Yuanzhang.

Based on the minimum trust in Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ji did not object.Nodding calmly, he looked at the couple in front of him in confusion and surprise.

He murmured in his heart, the old horse is such a big dog that he doesn't even let the aunt pinch his feet. Is this the mistress who is on the top or breaks through the world to achieve love?
Zhu Yuanzhang, completely unaware that Zhu Ji was complaining about him in his heart, saw that Zhu Ji was so cooperative, and his serious expression relaxed a little.

Nodding his head, Zhu Yuanzhang recounted what he had discussed with Empress Ma earlier.

"Son, haven't you always wanted to know who your biological parents are? Today I will tell you that I, and her, are your biological parents."

"At the beginning, I didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world. The young man I met while hunting was actually my own son. Since you told me your name is Zhu Ji, I asked Yiluan The staff went to investigate. Later, I asked your mother to pretend to be a maid to inspect it herself."

"The signature lock pattern left by your adoptive parents, and the piece of brocade that was ripped off from the swaddle, and most importantly, the birthmark on the sole of your foot that was born different from ordinary people, and the traces that Yiluansi raised you from childhood to adulthood. I checked everything, and now I am absolutely sure that you are the lost child in the winter of 13."

The more Zhu Ji listened, the more surprised he became, and finally he opened his mouth.

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he felt a little unbelievable.

Is there really such a coincidence in this world?
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned the name lock pattern and the brocade on the swaddle. He never mentioned these things to Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's secret investigation, it would indeed not be as conclusive as it is now.

What's more, in Zhu Ji's concept, Zhu Yuanzhang is at least the third rank of the dynasty. If there is no reason for the incident, why should he wrong his wife to wash his feet for the sake of a poor boy?
However, Zhu Ji always felt that this was like a pie falling from the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel that Zhu Ji didn't believe it, and continued to explain: "There were too many intrigues in Haozhou City back then, and we are very important people to His Majesty. Marshal Guo's opponent deliberately stole you away in order to stir up trouble. It's just to let His Majesty stand out for us, so that we can take advantage of the opportunity."

"You send your name on the lock with the extreme character, it is His Majesty's handwriting."

Now the cause and effect are completely correct, Zhu Ji was a little confused for a while, but suddenly realized.

Now everything makes sense.

This old horse is giving himself a maid and looking for a teacher for himself.I help myself every two days, and take myself over to take a bath from time to time to improve my life.

There are quite a few fellow villagers from Haozhou in Ying Tianfu, so why is Lao Ma the only one who fell in love with him.

Co-author, this guy has long planned to be his own father.

No, it seems that it should be said now that he seems to be his father.

It's just that finding her biological parents so suddenly seems a little too easy to accept.

"So, now, should I call you father?"

Zhu Ji looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with confused and flustered eyes, and asked abruptly in a hoarse and low voice.

As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang began to tell Zhu Ji the ins and outs of the matter, he and Queen Ma were looking forward to this matter.However, when he was about to nod, Zhu Ji suddenly shook his head:

"No, even if you are really my own father, I can't accept this fact now. Old... well,"

Zhu Ji originally wanted to call Zhu Yuanzhang an old horse habitually, but the possibility of him being his own father was in front of him, so he still didn't say such a casual address.In the end, Zhu Ji simply said nothing, but bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma:
"You two, no matter what, you are all my elders. I think I should go back and calm down about this matter. After a while, maybe I will accept this fact, maybe I will choose to avoid it, but I will definitely give it to you An affirmative answer. Now, may I go back first?"

"you?"

Zhu Ji was a little calm and rational, which made Zhu Yuanzhang a little anxious.

When he was about to reprimand the bastard in front of him as a father, the cuff was gently pulled by Queen Ma.

He quickly realized that this method didn't seem to have any effect on the extremely stubborn bastard in front of him, and it might even have the opposite effect.In the end, the emperor who kept his word in the court put away his domineering words, but also let out a cold snort and stopped talking to Zhu Ji.

At the same time, Empress Ma stepped forward a little, getting closer to Zhu Ji.

Her gentle and virtuous motherhood keeps her quite cordial.

Seeing that Zhu Ji didn't deliberately keep a distance from her, Empress Ma was satisfied, and at the same time she began to say gently:

"Son, I know this is a bit sudden to you. If you want to go back and think about it, then go back first. No matter what, it can't change the fact that you are the flesh that fell from me. No matter what you decide in the future, I will I won't force you. But I hope you don't refuse our kindness."

However, Zhu Ji couldn't refuse this woman who condescended to wash his feet. ,

In the end, after some hesitation, he nodded and agreed.

Ps: It was time to discuss marriage, and it was only at [-] o'clock that I found out that the QQ reading terminal came up with a recommendation.Sorry for only one update today.Thank you for your support and encouragement. When I return home the day after tomorrow, I will definitely make up for today and tomorrow.
