Night fell.
Zhu Yuanzhang was still reading through the countless memorials. Two memorials from the Ministry of Revenue were singled out by Zhu Yuanzhang.
His brows were furrowed very high.
One was a memorial from Chang 'an, the capital of Guanzhong, regarding the drought, asking the imperial court to send 50,000 stones of grain.
The other was a memorial from Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, asking the court to allocate 30,000 taels of silver to comb the mud and sand in Xin 'an River.
Zhu Yuanzhang copied the memorial onto a piece of paper and then continued to read it.
He wanted to read more memorials, but when he saw the golden imperial edict under the dragon table, he took it out and smiled. It was the imperial edict given by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Huai as King of Wu.
"Wu Wang, hehe, what a pity. Right now, this old man can't give it to you. But don't worry, it will happen sooner or later.”
The old man smiled knowingly when he thought about how that kid kept reminding him to sleep early like a fly.
"It's too late for us to approve it today."
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Chen Hong and went to sleep.
It didn't take long.
Outside the door.
Zhu Yunwen carried a bowl of hot noodles to Fengtian Palace.
"Second Young Master, Old Master is asleep." Chen Hong said carefully to Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen was a bit strange. Today, the imperial grandfather seemed to go to bed a little early.
He didn't say much and nodded." Thank you. I'll come again tomorrow."”
The next morning, Zhu Yunwen got up early and came to Fengtian Hall again with noodles.
The Hall of Heaven's Tribute was open.
Zhu Yunwen thought that the old man was waiting for him, so she walked in respectfully.
"Imperial Grandfather."
Zhu Yunwen called out twice and looked at the memorials scattered on the table. She shook her head and said,"I'm afraid Grandfather hasn't woken up yet."
As usual, he carefully walked to the front of the case, put the steaming noodles aside, and then began to clean up the scattered memorials for Zhu Yuanzhang.
He was stunned!
There was a memorial on the table that had not been given out. It clearly stated that Zhu Xiong was conferred the title of King Wu of Ming Dynasty…
Zhu Yunwen's white face instantly turned red. Her hands gradually clenched and her teeth bit her lips. She couldn't stop trembling and almost bit her red lips.
He was stunned for a long time before he slowly lowered his head. His eyes were filled with hatred.
He knew what King Wu represented.
Back when Zhu Yuanzhang was still in the Red Turban Army, he had crowned himself as the King of Wu. Everyone knew very well how deep the meaning of the King of Wu was to the Zhu family!
But now, Imperial Grandfather had already made up his mind!
Why?
Zhu Yunwen looked at the imperial edict in a daze.
For the past nine years, I have accompanied you day and night.
For the past nine years, I've done my best as a filial grandson.
I accompanied you for nine years, took care of you for nine years, and was filial to you for nine years.
What about him?
He has only appeared for less than a year. Why are you so biased?
He was unwilling.
I'm the eldest grandson of Ming Dynasty! I am!
How many books have I read all these years? Those scholar-bureaucrats in the Imperial Academy all boast about me, and no one doesn't praise me!
All these years, I have always abided by the etiquette of a minister and grandson. I am steady and humble. Even the important ministers in the court praise me.
But now, the one who obtained the title of King Wu was actually Big Brother!
Zhu Yunwen clenched her fists tightly, trembling as she picked up the bowl of steaming noodles and left the Fengtian Hall step by step.
When he returned to the Eastern Palace, he smashed the bowl of noodles on the ground and smashed it into pieces!
"Son, what's wrong? Didn't you go to see the old master?"
Madam Lu hurried over and asked in distress when she saw Zhu Yunwen sweating profusely.
"Mother!"
Zhu Yunwen's eyes were filled with tears.”
"What?" Lady Lu was shocked.
"Great Ming Wu Wang, Imperial Grandfather has conferred it to Eldest Brother, but he has yet to issue a decree.”
Zhu Yunwen trembled.
Lady Lu was also stunned. She gritted her teeth and said,"Son, don't be discouraged. As long as it hasn't been announced, it means that the old master hasn't made up his mind yet. At this time, you can't lose your will.”
……
In the courtyard by the Qinhuai River.
The Liao brothers had told Zhu Huai early in the morning that they were going back to pack some luggage and move it over.
Zhu Yunwen naturally didn't know that they were returning to the Eastern Palace to hand over the goods, so she nodded in agreement.
With more people, the small courtyard was naturally not big enough. He was thinking if it was time to buy a new house.
"What are you thinking about?"
The door was ajar, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked in. Seeing Zhu Huai who was deep in thought, he asked with a smile.
Zhu Huai heard the familiar voice and retracted his thoughts."Old Master, why are you so early today?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"Yes, I'm greedy. I want to eat noodles. The kind with spicy oil!"”
Zhu Huai smiled knowingly.”
Not long after, a bowl of warm wide noodles was served. It was covered with pepper. At this time, the pepper had not yet been introduced to Da Ming, so it could only be replaced with red pepper.
Then, a large spoonful of hot oil was poured on the noodles and pepper, making a sizzling sound.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked on like a child waiting for a child. He skillfully picked up the raw garlic cloves, carried the large basin of noodles to the courtyard, and began to chew.
"Smells good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his oily mouth and sucked the last bit of soup clean.
"That's what I like. It's a pity that you don't allow me to drink in the morning.”
Zhu Huai rolled his eyes at him.”
He wasn't pretending. He would eat the same way he ate at Zhu Huai's place when he returned to the palace.
"I know, I know you're worried about me."”
Wiping his oily mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang said casually,""I asked someone to get two guards for you. I'm afraid that you'll be bullied, so there's someone to take care of you.”
It was indeed Old Yellow Head.
Zhu Huai was grateful, but they both had a tacit understanding, so there was no need to say words of gratitude.
Looking at Zhu Huai, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said meaningfully,"I'll accompany the old man to study today.”
"Ah?"
Zhu Huai scratched his head in confusion." Study?”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, his eyes filled with vigor."Grandpa will teach you how to look at national affairs!"
The memorial that Zhu Yuanzhang had copied last night was already in his hands.
