In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, died and Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, succeeded him.
Before his death, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about the threat of the vassal kings, so he added a sentence in his edict: "When the kings are in the country, do not go to the capital."
His father was dead, but he didn't allow his son to attend the funeral?
The vassal kings instantly understood.
This was because Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the vassal king's power would pose a threat to Zhu Yunwen's succession.
However, it was against filial piety for the descendants not to attend the funeral for their father.
After he succeeded to the throne, Zhu Yunwen issued a decree,"When the kings are in the country, their descendants can take their place in the funeral.”
All the kings knew that this action would definitely make their descendants become hostages!
Although he understood, he had no choice but to comply.
After all, when a new ruler took over, the form was better than the person!
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, sent all three of his sons to the capital, along with his favorite eldest grandson, the son of the Crown Prince, Zhu Gaochi…
Zhu Le, who was only two years old!
Zhu Di thought.
The new ruler ascended the throne, and it was time to show his benevolence. He shouldn't have attacked a child, let alone his nephew.
Who knew.
After the funeral, all three of his sons returned successfully, except for the two-year-old Zhu Le, who was detained in the capital.
In the same year.
Zhu Di, who was far away in Beiping, learned that his eldest grandson, Zhu Le, had disappeared without a trace.
From then on…the sky above the King Yan Residence was shrouded in a haze.
……
Not long after.
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, raised an army in the name of "Fengtian Jingnan". A few years later, he broke through Nanjing and took over the throne. He changed his dynasty to Yongle.
"Yongle? It seemed that his father had not forgotten about Le 'er.”On the day Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Gaochi muttered.
Time flew by.
Ten years of Yongle.
At this time, Shuntian Prefecture was still under construction. Zhu Di was still in Nanjing, and the original Yingtian Prefecture was in charge of government affairs.
In a small house on the outskirts of Nanjing.
This place was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with peach red and willow green.
Not far away from the small house, Zhu Le was dressed in white and was fishing by the shore.
Sensing that the sun was getting hotter, the maid behind him hurriedly covered him with an umbrella.
He smacked his lips and a peeled, sparkling grape was brought to his mouth.
He only moved his neck slightly.
The other two graceful maids understood and quickly went forward.
Such a life was really enjoyable.
Fifteen years had passed since he transmigrated.
When he first transmigrated, Zhu Le was only two years old. Not only was he covered in injuries, but he was also abandoned in the forest outside the city.
If not for the fact that he was saved by a rich landlord who had no children, he would have become food for wild beasts even if he did not starve to death.
He did not know if it was heaven's will.
This rich landlord also had the surname Zhu.
Seeing that this two-year-old child carried a jade pendant with the word "Le" on it, he also named it Zhu Le.
The reason why Zhu Le's days were so comfortable.
After his adoptive parents passed away, he inherited all the wealth and land. More importantly, he had the system!
There was nothing strange about having a system.
As a transmigrator, it would be weird if he didn't have a system!
The system that Zhu Le possessed was the check-in system.
After signing in every day, you can obtain random rewards, most of which are items from the future.
These items were either priceless or of little use.
Even so, the years of signing in still greatly improved Zhu Le's quality of life.
Sometimes, Zhu Le couldn't help but think.
Perhaps it was not bad to live like this for the rest of his life? What was the point of living?
Wasn't it just for enjoyment?
There was food and drink here, and there were people waiting on them. Before he transmigrated, he would not even dare to think about such a life.
"Kid, do you have nothing else to do other than eating, drinking, and having fun every day?”A voice full of vigor came from behind, coming from afar.
Zhu Le said without turning his head,
"You old man, do you have nothing else to do besides freeloading on my food and drink?”
"Nonsense!" A voice appeared beside him.
It was a man in his fifties with graying sideburns. However, he walked with dignity and stood proudly like a pine tree.
If there were any officials present, they would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance.
This person was His Majesty!
Zhu Di ascended the throne at the age of 42.
Although he looked old, his years of military life still made him feel refreshed.
A year ago.
Zhu Di, who was dressed incognito, patrolled this place.
They were attracted by the fragrance of Zhu Le's hotpot that was derived from the hotpot base in the future.
At that time, Zhu Le had not interacted with outsiders for a long time, so he invited them to eat together.
It was so delicious that Zhu Di couldn't stop.
Especially when he discovered that Zhu Le had other delicacies called "Zhu Le", he would come over every few days to freeload.
"I'm tasting it for you! No matter how good your craftsmanship is, if no one helps you taste it, wouldn't it be a waste?”Zhu Di said matter-of-factly.
Zhu Le shook his head helplessly.
He had never seen such a shameless person!
"Old Man Ma, you haven't been here for half a year. I thought you wouldn't come.”Zhu Le said as he looked at the lake.
At the mention of this, Zhu Di felt helpless.
If it wasn't for the sake of conquering Arutai himself, he really wouldn't be willing to part with the delicacies here.
Need to know.
In this half a year, every time he ate in the army, he would feel like he was chewing wax!
Fortunately, the result was not bad. He returned triumphantly in the end, and the first moment he returned, he rushed here.
"It's normal for businessmen to travel around.”Zhu Di explained vaguely.
Without waiting for Zhu Le to reply, he continued to ask,"Today's delicacy is? Is there any good wine? For example, what was the name of the last one…Yes, Maotai! Is there more?"
"You really know how to drink!"
Zhu Le curled his lips and pointed at the lake. Can't you see that I'm fishing?"
"Fishing every day, fishing every day. I've never seen you fish.”Zhu Di whispered.
"What did you say?" Zhu Le raised his eyebrows.
"Haha…it's nothing." Zhu Di laughed dryly.
Who asked him to ask for help?
So what if he was the emperor…
You can't eat those delicacies anywhere else.
Moreover, he had endured for more than half a year, so there was no difference.
The two of them fell silent.
Zhu Di sized up Zhu Le's side profile without leaving a trace, and his eyes gradually softened.
Yes!
So similar!
It was too similar!
Zhu Le's facial features were 30% similar to his own, and 70% to 80% similar to his eldest son, Zhu Gaochi!
Thus, Zhu Le's name was added.
Every time Zhu Di saw Zhu Le, he would think of his eldest grandson who had long gone missing.
Perhaps this was the main reason why he did not have the air of an emperor.
Thinking of his eldest grandson, Zhu Di's heart ached.
After Zhangsun disappeared, he sent people to investigate many times and finally concluded that he had been killed by Zhu Yunwen.
After he ascended the throne, he wanted to know the reason, so he conducted a second investigation.
Unfortunately, that incident happened during the Jianwen Era.
Moreover, the moment he ascended the throne, he had eliminated a large number of people, which made it difficult to investigate the matter.
In his thoughts.
Waves appeared on the surface of the lake, and the fishing rod gradually bent.
Zhu Di saw this and shouted,"He took the bait!" Quickly pull!"
The sudden voice startled Zhu Le.
When he came back to his senses, he immediately chose to raise the pole, but he was still half a beat too slow.
The hook was empty, and even the bait had disappeared.
"…It's all your fault!" Zhu Le glared at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di laughed dryly again.
Perhaps he had realized that he was the emperor and was not sticky.
Gently stroking his sleeves, he placed his hands behind his back and said arrogantly,""When things happen, it's futile to fight for merit and shift the blame. You should turn to yourself and change!”
"So you're not eating?" Zhu Le rolled his eyes.
"Uh…eat, of course I have to eat."
