After escaping from the Eastern Palace, a scream rang out in the darkness.
Zhu Xiongying rushed straight to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
She prayed in her heart, Old Master, don't be so lecherous and go to the harem so early!”
Fortunately, when Zhu Xiongying rushed into the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Yuanzhang had already heard the commotion outside. He put down the memorial and called the young eunuch to question him.
Zhu Xiongying rushed to the old man's side and hugged him.""Royal grandfather, father wants to kill me.”
Zhu Biao caught up to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and gradually slowed down. Looking at Zhu Xiongying who was hiding behind Zhu Yuanzhang, he threw the cotton in his hand to the ground.
"Father, your son is disciplining your grandson, so don't be protective of him.”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao and said,""If you discipline him like this, won't you beat him to death?”
"What is this? When I was young, I didn't experience much more than him. I've never seen grandfather care about you.”The angry Zhu Biao made a slip of the tongue. It seemed that in his heart, he was still very envious of his son.
He was intelligent since young, rarely read, could ride a horse, knew politics, knew military affairs, and understood the concept of governing the country. He was born to inherit the Ming Empire.
However, this was not what Zhu Biao envied the most. What he envied the most was that when he was disciplining his child, the child had a grandfather by his side.
Thinking back to when he was young, he could only run to his mother's side when he was beaten. However, his mother was tough, which was different from the old man stopping his son.
"Imperial Father has also heard of the rumors in the palace. From today onwards, he will take Xiong Ying's waist token and not allow him to enter the rear palace.”
"Now, you should be satisfied!”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him. Zhu Biao was deep in thought. Zhu Xiongying, on the other hand, moved very quickly. He took off the gold medal from his waist and placed it on the old man's table.
"You've already taken the gold medal. What else do you want? Get lost!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily. Zhu Biao flung his sleeves and turned to leave the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Xiongying leaned on the old man's shoulder and smiled as he reached out to take the gold medal. With a clatter, the old man directly hit the back of Zhu Xiongying's hand.
She said," What's there to go to the harem? Your aunts and grandmothers are all women. It's better to learn how to govern the country from your father than to be with them."”
Seeing this, Zhu Xiongying did not dare to stretch out his hand. He stretched out his hand and started to massage the old man's shoulder. He smiled and said,"Grandfather, just approve it directly. Grandson will go out to sea earlier and bring the things back earlier!”
"I can also benefit grandfather's people one day earlier.”
Zhu Xiongying sighed.
Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Xiongying's neck and pulled him into his arms. He smiled and said,""Little kid, that place you mentioned is still in the slash-and-burn era.”
"How did you know about that place?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like torches as he stared at Zhu Xiongying and questioned.
"This, this, this…" Zhu Xiongying was speechless. He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,"How did you know?？”
"Of course it's important. How did you know?”Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and slapped Zhu Xiongying's butt.
Zhu Xiongying, who was pretending to be in pain, grimaced and said,"Grandpa, stop hitting me. I was dreaming, okay?。。”
"Bullshit!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and pushed Zhu Xiongying away. As a pragmatic person, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not believe in nonsense like dreaming.
How could a little kid dream of such a thing?
Zhu Xiong Ying sighed." Grandfather, this matter isn't considered a waste of manpower and money. It's not like we're going to war. I guarantee that I'll do my best to bring back the people I brought out."”
"As long as we bring back corn cobs, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, it will be the blessing of the people of Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Xiong Ying couldn't explain how he knew. The most important thing now was to go out to sea as soon as possible and bring back the three things.
Otherwise, things would change if he delayed.
If Zhu Biao died before he went out to sea, then Zhu Xiongying could foresee that even if he broke the sky, broke the earth, dried up the Yellow River, and toppled the Great Wall.
Zhu Yuanzhang would not allow Zhu Xiongying to step out of Yingtian Prefecture even if he allowed anyone to go out to sea.
This was the concept of the country and the world.
But now that Zhu Biao was still alive, there would not be so much resistance when Zhu Xiongying went out to sea.
"How long will it take for you to come back?" The old man sighed.”
"Three years. By the end of Hongwu's twenty-fourth year at the latest, I will definitely return.”Zhu Xiongying looked very confident. If everything went smoothly, he wouldn't be going to war.
Walking along the shore was the safest, most convenient, and most feasible way.
According to Zhu Xiong Ying's thoughts, within two hundred years, this safe sea route would be the only passage between Great Ming and the New World.
As for crossing the Pacific Ocean, it would be difficult to do so in at least two hundred years.
"The end of Hongwu's twenty-fourth year?" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. I don't know if your grandfather will live to the 24th year of Hongwu.”
"Grandpa is old and weak, but he is strong and healthy. It is not a problem for him to live for another twenty years. Moreover, Grandpa still has to persevere and see the crops that grandson brought back bloom all over Great Ming.”
"Grandpa will definitely see it!"
Zhu Xiongying lay in the old man's arms. Ever since he came to this world, the old man had been really good to him.
Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said," Alright, don't be so wishy-washy. Go to the Five Armies Governor's Office and take the Tiger Tally to mobilize the troops. 50,000 troops and 600 warships. Set off as soon as possible and return to the capital as soon as possible!"”
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'll be back as soon as possible!" Zhu Xiong Ying said confidently.”
