Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 150
At the end of the mausoleum sacrifice ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang cordially received the [-] mausoleum households who kept vigil for his parents, and had breakfast with them.

There are three circles of the imperial mausoleum, and the surrounding earth city is 28 miles away. Of course, it is impossible to have only such a few mausoleum households.

These [-] households were dedicated to guarding the spirit of Boss Zhu's parents in the innermost imperial city, and they were all old folks from Jinqiaokan.

It was their ranks that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu De to join.

"You all have to be good, just like what we told Liu De yesterday, don't waste the offerings after the offerings, eat them all." After the meal, he took the old fellow's hand full of emotion and said: "In the future From generation to generation, you don’t need to do anything else, just collect rent, eat wine and meat, and live happily.”

Lao Zhu's shrewdness is always revealed inadvertently.He arranged this so that these mausoleum households would devote themselves to supporting his parents.If they were not allowed to eat sacrifices... Hehe, as they get older, just think about how they will perfunctory his parents.

It's so good, they will try their best to buy it, and they are also grateful, everyone is happy.

"Okay, we are old with the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Oh, it's a pity that Ganniang Wang can't enjoy the same happiness as you." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed.

Everyone's expression darkened immediately, and they became sad.

Wang Ganniang is the old mother of the Wang family in Zhu Yuanzhang's sacrificial rites, who "raised money for me, sent my son off, prepared sweet incense, and worshiped Buddha in Buddhism".

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang almost starved to death on the way to beg for food, and was taken back to Huangjue Temple by a monk.But in the year of great famine, there was no surplus food in the monk's temple.So the host refused to accept him at first, but later Aunt Wang found out and asked her son to send the shaving fee to the temple, and Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk as he wished.

Although less than two months later, Huangjue Temple stopped eating and asked the monks to go out to become wandering monks.As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang became a Buddhist version of a beggar again...

But Boss Zhu has always been very grateful to those who helped him in the most difficult days.It's a pity that after he made his fortune, Mrs. Wang had already died in the chaos.

Zhu Yuanzhang took her son Cao Xiu to his side and cultivated him carefully. He is currently his pro-army captain, Youduwei.

Cao Xiu was also on the side, hearing the emperor suddenly mention his old lady, tears streaming down his face.

"Cao Xiu, there are three brothers, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suddenly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Xiu hurriedly wiped away her tears and replied, "My three older brothers, I am the second child."

"How is your brother?"

"Okay." Cao Xiu nodded hurriedly and said, "Thanks to the blessing of the emperor, life is going well."

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, closed his eyes slightly, seemed to think for a moment, and said, "My godmother's Wang family seems to be deserted."

"Yes, they all died in the chaos." Cao Xiu nodded and wiped away tears.

"That can't be done, how can my godmother's family lose the incense?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Cao Xiu calmly and said, "From today on, change your surname to Wang... Maybe even change your name, let's call it Wang Wen .”

"Ah, it's..." Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, why did she change her name and surname without paying attention?

But the bigger blow was yet to come, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "You don't need to go back to Nanjing anymore, just stay here as a mausoleum household and take care of the sacrifices."

"Ah..." Cao Xiu was stunned, and didn't know how she knelt down to thank her.

From the deputy commander of the emperor's personal army to the mausoleum for the emperor's father, the gap is simply heaven and earth.Demotion is not so harsh...

The reason for being born the emperor was so high-sounding that he couldn't open his mouth to intercede.

"Let's live and enjoy life here." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he stopped looking at him and went straight to the imperial chariot.

When the emperor's chariot left the imperial mausoleum, Cao Xiu... oh, now called Wang Wen, still kneeling there, unable to get up for a long time.

The old folks whispered in the distance, thinking that he must have annoyed the emperor, otherwise how could he be sent to guard the spirit?

Wang Wen knew in his heart that they guessed right, the emperor was punishing himself...

It turned out that when the Marquis Deqing's mansion was raided in the first month, the emperor had seen through his petty thoughts.

~~
On the way back, the six brothers squeezed into the prince's chariot.It was inconvenient to talk in the imperial mausoleum just now, but now I can finally chat.

Zhu Biao held the fifth child with his left hand, and the sixth child with his right hand, facing the second child, the third child, and the fourth child, looking at each other carefully.

"Oh, it's all dark, thin, and rough skin, but the spirit is not bad."

"Ah, why did Lao Liu lose so much weight? Where's your chin? Where's your cheek? Where's your big belly? Why is it gone..."

"Hey, I gained a little weight a while ago, but in the end, hey, let's not mention it..." Zhu Zhen didn't want to talk about his tragic experience yet.

"It's okay, big brother will make you fat again!" Zhu Biao comforted him and said, "Whoever says you are fat in the future, I will help you!"

"Hey, okay." Zhu Zhen nodded happily. "You just need to help me beat one person, and I'll do the rest myself."

"Haha, no problem." The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, Zhu Biao looked at the third and fourth child again, and said distressedly: "You two have bruised noses and swollen faces, it seems that you have also suffered a serious crime."

"Hey, hey..." The third and fourth children smiled awkwardly, bowed their heads and did not dare to answer, obviously they did not want to mention their tragic experiences.

But the second brother wouldn't help them hide it, so he said angrily: "No, it wasn't someone else who did it. Yes, I beat it!"

"Ah, why did you beat them?" the prince asked strangely.

"I'll hit, but it's light." Zhu Xi said angrily, "He, they lied to me that the sixth child is dead."

"Ah?" The prince suddenly raised his voice.

"Brother, don't listen to the nonsense of the second brother." The third child hurriedly explained.

"That's right! How could we lie to the second brother? He is so nice!" The fourth child also hurriedly said, "It's because he sleeps every time we have a meeting! He didn't hear about our plan to escape the golden cicada, so he blames us?"

"Yes, it's you who need me to snore!" The second elder brother said with a thick neck, "Even if I did, I didn't know at the time, why did you keep hiding it from me?"

"Who told you that 'one intestine goes through the asshole—it's a straight tube'? Tell you, what should you do if you reveal your stuff?" Lao Sanzhen said plausibly.

"That's right." It was rare for the fourth child to side with the third child.

"You, you did it on purpose!" Zhu Xi said angrily, "As a result, yesterday, last night, I saw Lao Liu boarding the sandboat, and I was so scared that I called my mother!"

"He not only called Mom, but also hid behind Prince Ming..." The fourth child couldn't help laughing.

"I'm so scared that I can't stutter anymore. Say 'Don't come, don't come, I'm afraid of ghosts...'" The third child also laughed.

"I, I will beat you to death!" The second child was so angry that he wanted to punch again.

"Brother, help!" The third and fourth hurriedly hid behind the prince.

"Help?" The prince held them down and said, "I want to beat someone up after hearing that!"

As he spoke, he gave Zhu Xi an order: "Second brother, go!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Xi finally had a helper, and rushed forward excitedly.

The brothers laughed together.The third child and the fourth child screamed for mercy, while the fifth child and the sixth child were brought to the pond...

Thanks to the crown prince's chariot being extremely strong, otherwise it would have fallen apart!
