Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 39 Positioning
A light rain came grandly at the end of spring.

The pattering rainwater formed a curtain on the carved blue-tiled eaves, blurring the scattered vision of the four people in the house, forcing them to accept each other's existence.

As early as half an hour ago, after Xu Da and Feng Sheng escorted Zhu Ji here, the four people in the main room have been in such a quiet and awkward atmosphere.

No one wants to be the first person to break the peace, so this responsibility can only fall on God.

A dull rumble of thunder illuminated the dimly lit house for an instant.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was getting a little impatient, so he pushed the teacup that he had already drank to the side with a little displeasure, coughed while the thunder echoed, and attracted the attention of the other three people to himself.

"Now that you know our identities, tell me, what are your plans?"

Without naming names, Zhu Ji also knew that he was talking to himself.

First, he glanced at Empress Ma, and then met Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. With a serious and serious expression, Zhu Ji asked back:
"Are you so sure that I am your long-lost son?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma could answer, Zhu Ji said all the factors he had considered.

"First, I don't have a reliable token, second, I don't have a complete witness, and third, I haven't been married to you. If it's an ordinary family, it's fine. After all, I have no idea of ​​fighting for family property."

"But you are the emperor and empress, and the impact of having an extra eldest son will be great. Are you sure you won't check in detail?"

To combine blood means to admit relatives by dripping blood.

Although Zhu Ji scoffed at this kind of thing that has no scientific basis at all, people in this era still regard it as a standard.

If he opened his mouth and closed his mouth and blood was not enough evidence, I'm afraid it would cause misunderstandings with Master Guorui's family.Simply mention this possibility in advance, what if such a place will come later, and the result just happens to be blood incompatibility?
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little taken aback by the series of questions that did not follow the routine.

He didn't expect Zhu Ji to care about this when he knew his true identity.

This eldest son of himself has really applied self-preservation to the extreme, and he can even withstand the temptation of being a prince. Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but wonder whether his own throne is not very attractive to Zhu Ji.

However, Zhu Ji's inquiry still needs to be made clear first, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that the prince will misunderstand him.

"I've seen the fragments of swaddling clothes in your shack and the rubbings of the name lock, and Yi Luansi has also investigated the matter of your adoption back then, basically ruling out the possibility that you were adopted and then swapped.

As for the things that can really determine your identity, let your mother explain it. "

It was boring for half an hour, and then he talked so many words again and again, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little dry.

Returning the words that should have been finished by himself to Empress Ma, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and picked up the official porcelain teapot from the table next to him, poured himself tea, and then waited for leisure.

If Queen Ma hadn't said it, Zhu Ji really didn't know that he still had such a strange birthmark on the sole of his foot.

Regardless of the presence of the elders, he immediately took off the shoe that was still emitting a sour smell, and Zhu Ji pinched the sole of his left foot vigorously. Seeing that the trace that really looked like a crescent moon, Zhu Ji was stunned.

Never thought that there was such a strange thing on him.

The sour smell made Zhu Biao, who was sitting next to him, weep silently, but his unabashed behavior angered Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just wet his throat:
"What do you look at? Your mother verified it herself. I haven't asked your mother to wash my feet for many years, you bastard."

Zhu Ji also felt that his behavior seemed to be a bit rude, so he smiled at Empress Ma embarrassedly, then put on his shoes to improve the dirty air a little, and then continued to look at Zhu Yuanzhang:
"So, my eldest son, do you agree?"

Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that his mood today was affected by the weather outside, after all, the Son of Heaven, the son of God.The sky was gloomy, how could the emperor be in a good mood.

Facing Zhu Ji's relentless questioning, he really wanted to scold him head and face.

The old Zhu’s family was originally scarce. You, I, and I have been tired all these years. Counting the one in Concubine Guo Hui’s belly, it was only a few acres of land in the harem that grew 25 trees of men and women.

"Confirmed!"

With a cold snort, and repeating Zhu Ji's words as an answer, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Ji angrily, and picked up the tea bowl again to drink.

Without the nourishment of tea, Master Guorui felt like his chest would be blown up by the little bastard in front of him.

"Are you sure? Why don't you come and try to recognize your relatives with blood? If you agree, we will recognize you. If you don't agree, let me go. I will go to Fengyang Mansion to guard the ancestral mausoleum for you, shall we?"

You have to be clear that if I make a mistake in the future and you turn your back on me, you will lose the face of the old Zhu family. "

Zhu Ji persevered in talking about the doubts in his identity. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so disturbed, the veins in the hand holding the tea bowl were exposed, and Empress Ma had to come forward to make amends.

"Ji'er, regarding your identity, whether it's the token in your hand, the birthmark on the sole of your foot, or Yiluansi's investigation, there is no other person in the world who can completely match these three things."

"So you don't have to suspect that we have any plans."

"After you officially recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, father and mother will treat you just like Biaoer and the others. As long as you don't act recklessly, your father will not criticize you, and don't say anything about turning your face against others in the future." Nonsense."

With Empress Ma guaranteeing it, Zhu Ji also felt a little more at ease.

After there was no question about his own identity, Zhu Ji looked back at Zhu Biao.

"Last time you asked me if you were the emperor, would I still want to be the crown prince? I thought about it all night last night, and now that you are all here, I want to make this question clear."

It was about his own status, Zhu Biao, who had been silent just now, cheered up and looked at Zhu Ji's eloquent face with burning eyes.

"In the past 19 years, to put it bluntly, I have been a mud-legged person. I have been mourning since I started school for two years. I haven't studied well, and I haven't practiced martial arts. In short, I have achieved nothing.

As much as I have the ability to do great things, I don't have the ability to be a prince, so you can rest assured that I will not take the initiative to do anything. "

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been sulking all the time, couldn't help but glance at his son Gao Gao.

Yesterday, when I discovered my identity, I thought about my own position so clearly overnight, and said it so openly. I have to say that in terms of courage, I am worthy of my kind.

And Zhu Biao couldn't hide his inner joy.

Ever since I learned that I still have a big brother, I have been secretly poking and worrying about falling into a power struggle. I don't want my big brother to give up so easily.

Of course, when Zhu Ji looked at him, he still tried his best to hide this joy, but how could this level of face-changing escape Zhu Ji's eyes.

　Pack your things today, get on the high-speed rail tomorrow, and hold a wedding ceremony the next day. There is a high probability that there will be a change every day for these three days. Please forgive me
