Hall of Heaven.
It was late at night. The night of summer was really difficult to endure. It was already midnight, and the sixty-three-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished reading the memorial.
He walked to Zhu Biao's memorial tablet in a daze, his eyes unfocused.
It was only at this time that he could mourn for his dead son, because at other times, he did not have the right to do so. He needed to put all his thoughts on the country's affairs!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the coffin with a choked voice. He slowly stretched out his hand and suspended it in mid-air. In the end, it fell weakly, and tears could not be held back.
"Son, I…I've let you down. You're my most outstanding son. If you leave, what will we do? What will we do in the future?”
During the day, he was the merciless and unyielding Great Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty.
At night, he was just a lonely old man.
No one could understand his loneliness!
Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his arm and muttered to himself sadly. He was extremely annoyed and blamed himself." We were wrong! We shouldn't have let you go to Shaanxi to investigate the matter of moving the capital! He was fine when he went there…but he just f * cking left when he came back! Your father has nurtured you for half a lifetime. My destiny is about to arrive. I'm going to hand over the Ming Dynasty to you!!”
Tears fell from the corners of his old eyes, and his clothes were wet with tears.
"Your mother left us behind! Your eldest son left us behind, and now you're leaving us behind again! How am I supposed to live on alone!”
Zhu Yuanzhang beat his chest weakly and wailed,""You're unfilial, unfilial! Do you know that I dream of you every day?”
"You left on your two legs, leaving your father alone in this world.”
In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang sobbed sadly, tears slowly trickling down his cheeks.
"Come back! I've found your eldest son, our grandson, Zhu Xiong! The eldest grandson of our Zhu family, he's not dead, he's not dead!”
"Let's confirm it again and investigate! He must be our eldest grandson! She's too similar to you. She's just as filial, just as wise, and even has the same face!”
The night before, he had sent the Jinyiwei to Dezhou, Shandong.
There was an old imperial guard there. He was also the guard who had guarded the burial of Zhu Xiong Xi in the Zhong Mountain mausoleum, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to kill him.
That old Imperial Guard had been following Zhu Yuanzhang since the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
He had already asked the Jinyiwei to inquire about the situation. The Jinyiwei should be back in two days!
"Imperial Grandfather."
A soft shout came from outside the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his tears and said expressionlessly,""Come in."
After a while.
A gentle and refined Young Master Yu walked in.
Looking at Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed."What's wrong?"
"Imperial Grandfather, your grandson knows that you're busy with government affairs, so I brought you a bowl of ginseng soup.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned sharp.""Our son and your father are gone! You still want to eat! What soup can we eat!"
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden anger, Zhu Yunwen was at a loss.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was angry was not because Zhu Yunwen had brought him a bowl of ginseng soup, but because the first thing he said at this time was not because he was concerned about his father, Zhu Biao, or whether Zhu Yuanzhang missed his son, but because he was concerned that he would not overwork himself!
Why should I work on government affairs! I'm so tired that I can only take a look after my son leaves!
Seeing Zhu Yunwen standing there without saying a word, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little distressed. His words were a little harsh. He waved his hand and said,"Put it down. We'll eat later.”
"Imperial Grandfather, please take care of your health. Grandson will go down.”
When they left Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yunwen let out a long sigh of relief.
……
He returned to the Eastern Palace.
Zhu Yunwen found her mother and complained,"Mother!"
"Why do I have to deliver noodles to Imperial Grandfather?”
"You don't know how terrifying Imperial Grandfather's gaze was just now!”
Zhu Yunwen shuddered when she thought about it.
Madam Lu sighed." Sigh, child. You can't slack off as long as you're not the Crown Prince. As long as the old master doesn't die, you can't slack off!"”
"You have to know that you still have Zhu Yunhao under you. He is also the legitimate son. Moreover, he has the support of the Huaixi martial arts people. It's hard to say whether this position is yours or not.”
Zhu Yunwen was puzzled." If big brother was still alive, I might have to be more careful. But now big brother is gone, and third brother is clumsy and not good with words. How could royal grandfather like third brother?"”
Madam Lu looked at her silly son and revealed a kind smile. She pinched Zhu Yunwen's face,"Child, you are too naive."
"However, the old master has been very strange recently. He often goes out of the palace. You have to find an opportunity to ask the old master what he's going out for.”
"Why, mother?" Zhu Yunwen asked, puzzled.”
"You're really stupid!" Madam Lu said angrily. If you go out with the old man, it doesn't matter what you do, but if you fall into the eyes of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the signal given is different, understand?”
Zhu Yunwen nodded.”
……
Hall of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed as he looked at his grandson Zhu Yunwen's back. He felt even more conflicted.
He was also a filial grandson, a filial grandson!
He shook his head and took a big mouthful of noodles.
Hmm?
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed.
There was something wrong with the taste of salt!
Zhu Yuanzhang grew up in the farmland and was more sensitive to the daily necessities of the common people than anyone else.
This salt seemed to have a lot less impurities and tasted smoother!
"Men!"
"What's with the salt?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.”
"Replying to the Emperor, this is the new salt that the Capital Transportation Salt Commissioner purchased from a merchant.”
The one who spoke was Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch, Chen Hong.
Chen Hong had served Zhu Yuanzhang for ten years and understood his thoughts better than anyone else. At this time, he had already consciously placed a pinch of salt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's case.
Zhu Yuanzhang pinched it with his hand and put it in his mouth. His eyes gradually became unfocused.
"Good salt!"
"This salt smelting process, let the salt transportation company buy it back for us! Any amount is fine!"
"This old servant obeys the decree!"
