Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City
Zhu Yuanzhang heaved a sigh of relief after reading the memorial.
Just as he stood up and stretched, the old eunuch Hou Ying beside him whispered,
"Emperor, the Crown Prince has arrived in Yangzhou. He sent someone to bring a message back.”
Zhu Yuanzhang did not read Zhu Biao's memorial because he could imagine what Zhu Biao said in the memorial with his toes.
It was because he couldn't spoil Zhu Xiongying.
"Leave it there."
"Emperor, do you want to have lunch? Even if the Emperor's body was made of iron, it would not be able to withstand it.”
The old eunuch Hou Ying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang worriedly. When Zhu Yuanzhang read the memorial, he automatically entered a state where he forgot to eat and sleep.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was now an old man over fifty years old.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,
"No need. We can't eat now. Let's go out for a walk and take a breather.”
Hou Ying sighed and could only reply,
"Yes."
Ever since Zhu Xiongying fell ill, Zhu Biao had to take care of Zhu Xiongying while handling the government affairs.
Zhu Biao was weak to begin with, and in the past month, he had lost a lot of weight.
After all, it was his son, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not feel heartache?
It was fake to go to Yangzhou to control the flood. Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted Zhu Biao to rest.
It was a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, keeping Zhu Xiongying by his side.
Walking out of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, one could see the Meridian Gate in the distance on the wide square. The blue sky was clear in the distance, and the clouds were moving. It made one feel relaxed and happy, and Zhu Yuanzhang's mood could not help but improve.
At this moment, a white horse suddenly appeared not far away, and a youth sat steadily on it.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, then he smiled and said,
"Looks like I'm really old. After reading the memorial for a while, I'm hallucinating. I thought Ying 'er already knew how to ride a horse.”
"Hou Ying, look at the way Ying 'er rides a horse. Doesn't it look like when I was young?”
Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.
"Look at my brain. I forgot that this is my illusion.”
"I really don't know if I can live to see Ying 'er grow up…"
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was feeling lost.
Hou Ying reminded with a trembling voice.
" Emperor, it's not an illusion. This servant saw it too…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was petrified on the spot.
Hou Ying had just finished speaking.
Not far behind him, Xiao Hu led a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards and ran out from the Imperial Horse Bureau.
This was really Zhu Xiongying!
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang come back to his senses. When he looked at Zhu Xiongying again, he was only left with fear.
He shouted at Xiao Hu in the distance.
"Erhu, are you really stupid? Your grandson is riding a horse, and you're still running? Why don't you ride a horse and chase after him!"
Erhu was completely dumbfounded. He had never heard of Zhu Xiongying riding a horse before.
Who would have thought that he would only need to bow.
Zhu Xiongying rode his horse and ran away.
Zhu Yuanzhang's shout woke Erhu up.
Erhu immediately brought the two of them back to the Imperial Horse Bureau to ride horses.
The guards at the Meridian Gate were in a mess.
The Imperial Army soldiers guarding the Imperial City instinctively nocked their bows and arrows. Cold sweat broke out on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead when he saw this scene.
He immediately shouted as he ran towards the Meridian Gate.
"Don't shoot arrows. It's going to be your great-grandson. If you hurt your great-grandson, we won't let you off.”
The Imperial Army soldiers at the Meridian Gate were stunned.
Zhu Xiongying seized the opportunity and whipped the horse's butt.
After the white horse neighed, it rushed out of the Meridian Gate.
He left the people behind him far behind.
At this time, Erhu rode his horse to the Meridian Gate. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he explained breathlessly,
"Your Majesty, Your Highness said that you wanted to see the horse, but I was careless. I didn't expect Your Highness to climb onto the horse and run away.”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Erhu in shock and said,
"Ying 'er went up by herself? He can reach the stirrups?"
"I don't know either. This is also the first time Your Highness is riding a horse, but this movement doesn't seem like it's the first time. The lecherous people from the Imperial Horse Supervisor were all stunned. Your Highness is talented and will definitely become great in the future!”
"Then why are you still standing there? If Taisun is injured, I won't let you off. Quickly go out of the palace to look for him.”
"Sigh!"
Xiao Hu mounted his horse and chased out of the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiao Hu's flustered appearance.
A mere eight-year-old child was able to say that every man had a responsibility for the rise and fall of the world.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang only thought that Zhu Xiong was talented in literature.
Now that he looked at it…
Zhu Xiongying was a talented man in both literature and martial arts!
The most gratifying thing for an old man was the success of his children and grandchildren.
Although Zhu Xiongying had caused a ruckus at the Meridian Gate today.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, it was as if he saw Zhu Xiongying's invincible appearance on the battlefield more than ten years later.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became even better.
"Forget it, let's not bother about Ying 'er. The children will come back after they've had enough fun. Hou Ying, let's go back and eat.”
Hou Ying was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.
"Ai, this servant will get the imperial kitchen to heat it up for the emperor.”
"No need, no need to wait. We ran two steps just now and we're hungry. Hahaha, our Great Ming Dynasty has three generations of heroes to look forward to.”
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt that Zhu Biao was good in every aspect.
He was just too weak.
If this continued, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the Ming Dynasty would follow the old path of the Song Dynasty.
But now, he looked at Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Yuanzhang's worries were instantly swept away. Thinking of this, he looked at the memorial lying quietly on the imperial table and couldn't help but think, Biao 'er, you should rest in Yangzhou for a while. I can't let you lead Ying' er astray.
……
……
Yangzhou "disaster area"
Accompanied by the Yangzhou magistrate and other officials, Zhu Biao quietly appeared in a village by the river.
An old farmer laughed so hard that the wrinkles on his face appeared.
"Your Highness, this old man is 63 years old this year. I never thought that such a small matter in my fields would alarm His Majesty! Your Majesty is too polite. Actually, this year's harvest is good, and I can handle it myself. I'm sorry that Your Highness the Crown Prince has put in so much effort.”
"Your Majesty's grace is vast and mighty. This is the good emperor who remembers us in his heart!”
"Long live my emperor!”
“……”
In the mountain's cry of long live.
Zhu Biao looked at the 18 acres of flooded melon fields in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
