Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 28
The morning light leaked from the gaps in the clouds, fell on the golden glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, and then reflected the red walls and blue bricks, making the entire imperial city colorful.

The bells of the Forbidden City also sounded leisurely.Countless servants and servants got up and started their busy day.

In the aisle of the deep palace, the emperor's guard of honor marched forward magnificently.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't sit in a sedan chair, nor did he wear a dragon robe. He just wore a commoner clothes, pulled his cloth shoes, and walked with his hands behind his back.His steps were so fast that Zhu Xiongying, who was following behind him, could not catch up no matter how hard he tried.

"Grandfather, please slow down!" Zhu Xiongying said, wearing a red tuanlong costume embroidered with gold.

"Manly man, walking slowly, what do you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, and then said to the people next to him, "The grandson is tired from walking, you carry it on your back!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Jinglong quickly squatted down in front of Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, please get on my back!"

"No, I'll follow Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Xiongying smiled and walked over to Li Jinglong, taking Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and slowed down a bit, "Why don't people carry you? How comfortable!"

"Grandpa Huang walks, and grandson walks too!" Zhu Xiongying laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Then what if one day Grandpa Huang is too old to walk?"

Zhu Xiongying tilted his head, "When the time comes, the grandson will carry the grandpa on his back!"

"Grow up quickly, Grandpa Huang is waiting for the day when you carry us on your back!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Rely on to move forward and stop at Jinshen Hall.

The Jinshen Hall is one of the three main halls in the imperial city, where the emperor changed his clothes before going to court, and the place where the empress and prince were registered and received congratulations from his courtiers.

Prince Zhu Biao has long changed his uniform and is waiting here.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang leading Zhu Xiongying in, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and said, "Father, why did you bring brother Ying?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Xiongying smiled and said, "Father, my son will follow the emperor and you to attend the court meeting!"

"Nonsense! How old are you?" Zhu Biao frowned.

"What nonsense?" Zhu Yuanzhang said while wearing a dragon robe under the service of his personal eunuch Pu Guochang, "He was the grandson of the emperor when we were here. In the future, he will be the prince when we are gone. To attend the court meeting, one day sooner or later How can it be nonsense for a day?"

Zhu Biao saw that Zhu Yuanzhang began to protect his shortcomings again, so he stopped talking.

But then he was a little bit surprised, Zhu Yuanzhang was most impatient to wear these dragon robes on weekdays, even in the grand court meeting, they were all just commoner clothes, why was it so grand today.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang put on the dragon robe.At the same time, in front of the Fengtian Hall of the court meeting, the sound of bells and whips for the audience of the ministers rose at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and stretched out his big hand to Zhu Xiongying, "Grandson, come, let's go up to court with grandpa!"

~~~~
clap clap!

The eunuch wearing a red dress, outside Fengtian Hall, beside the white marble imperial steps, vigorously waved the whip in his hand.

At the same time, the gate of the palace opened wide, and countless civil and military ministers of the Ming and Ming Dynasties entered slowly.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of pearls and purples. These ministers are arranged according to the size of their official positions. The long line has been lined up from the inside of Fengtian Hall to the square outside.Before the emperor arrived, they all stood silently.

"The Emperor is here!"

Following the eunuch's loud shout, all the officials kowtowed, "Your servants will kowtow to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Xiongying and the crown prince Zhu Biao. Amidst the sound of prostration by the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked towards the palace. The unique Golden Dragon Throne, which was located on a high place, represented the supreme imperial power.

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying heard his own heartbeat, feeling nervous and excited.

He grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand and stepped on the imperial steps that only the emperor could walk. Looking back halfway, there were kneeling figures in front of him.

"Wake up and control the power of the world, and lie drunk on the lap of a beauty, a man should be like this!"

When his heart was full of excitement, the eyes of the officials in the palace were also deeply surprised.

It is a national ceremony for the emperor to bring the prince to court.But it was the first time for the emperor to bring the emperor's grandson to court.

And even the prince can only stand under the imperial steps with his head bowed, without the right to climb the steps and ascend to the throne.The emperor's grandson was led by the emperor and walked straight towards the dragon chair.

Among the ministers, the founding father Chang Mao was stunned, and his eyes were filled with surprise.So he quickly lowered his head, fearing that others would see his joy.

Although the name has been determined early, seeing the emperor's preference for the emperor's grandson so much, how can he not be happy in his heart!

The grandson of the emperor is also the direct grandson of his Chang family.

After calming down a little, he found that the founding nobles of Huaixi around him were all smiling at him.Especially Chang Yuchun's family in the early days of the army, the joy in their eyes was not concealed at all.

"Come on, grandson, sit beside us!"

The dragon chair is bigger than expected, like a huge bed.After Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, he patted the cushion beside him and said with a smile.

Zhu Xiongying didn't even refuse. After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he climbed up directly and sat next to him.This scene made the courtiers below even more moved.Even Zhu Biao's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He is the crown prince with the most stable position throughout the ages, but he has never been treated like this.

"This brat!" Zhu Biao said in his heart.

The heights are extremely cold, but you can also see all the small mountains.Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhu Xiongying looked at the courtiers below, feeling a little high above, but also a little helpless at the same time.

"Today's court meeting, don't talk about other things!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly, and his voice echoed in the hall, "Just talk about what happened yesterday. I think you all know it. It's just that some people came to Beijing to complain!"

"We have already said that officials are not allowed to intercept people's complaints, but some people take our words as a deaf ear! If it is a remote state capital, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is in the capital, right under our noses, and there are people So, is this taking our words as a deaf ear, or taking our emperor seriously? Huh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang made a long, doubtful voice.

There was no sound in the hall, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "We know that there is no reason for the people to sue the officials in the past dynasties, but why do we allow the people to sue the officials?"

"It's because of the officials, no one can control it. It's because of the officials that they don't take the people seriously, thinking that what they say, the people will listen to what they want, and they can come as they want!"

"Some people think that suing an official is to make the official lose face. But they don't think about how much wronged the common people will be caused by a corrupt official who accepts bribes and neglects his duties. Oh, for the sake of some people's face, just Let the people be wronged?"

"For the honor of officials, let the people suffer all kinds of humiliation?"

"For the sake of the official's reputation, the people are not allowed to speak?"

"For the dignity of the officials, let the common people be dumb?"

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for this golden palace, we would all want to scold our mothers now?"

"If it weren't for a huge grievance, who would dare to sue if there is no way to sue? After forcing people into such a state, they are still not allowed to sue. What about conscience? The dog ate it, or the wolf took it away?"

"Besides, if all the officials in the world are diligent and caring for the people, there are no unjust, false or wrongful convictions, no corruption and bribery, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Who is willing to sue? Which people are hysterical and dare to offend the officials?"

"Do the math, since the founding of the country, how many corrupt officials, mediocre officials, and bad officials have we killed? But we can't stop killing them. Since we can't control it alone, let the people of the world control it together!"

"We are not afraid of being scolded behind our backs, and we are not afraid of being called a tyrant. Let's take it for granted that officials who bully the people should be sued and investigated!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and said loudly.

"Where is Mao Xiang, Commander of Jinyiwei?"

Among the ministers, a tall man with a hideous scar on his face came out and shouted, "The minister is here!"

"Go!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Go and tell the state officials who sued the peasants and Han Han, what to do after these complainants go back, and officials at all levels should not embarrass them. If you let us know, these complaints If you suffer any grievances, let's peel off the skins of those officials!"

"These people who complained, if there is any accident, we will count it on their local parents and officials!"

Mao Xiang said loudly, "Your servant, obey the order!"

At this time, among the civil servants, Li Shanchang, the Duke of South Korea, came out, "Your Majesty, I apologize!"
