"Why do you want to visit us when you've just recovered from a serious illness?”
"Grandson heard from those palace maids that when Grandson was seriously ill last night, grandfather was very concerned about Grandson.”Zhu Xiongying revealed an innocent smile and said,"
"I came to visit grandfather as soon as I recovered from my illness today.
Did your grandson delay your grandfather's handling of court affairs last night?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was a busy man.
Ever since the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong was killed, the Ming Dynasty had never appointed a Prime Minister again.
Zhu Yuanzhang was even busier.
To be able to take time out of his busy schedule to care about his sick grandson, it meant that Zhu Yuanzhang really cared about Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor.
"No, of course not."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect Zhu Xiongying to share his worries at such a young age.
His eyes immediately turned red as he sighed,
"Sigh, grandfather was also oppressed back then. He didn't even have food to eat and could only rebel.”
"Even after becoming the emperor, I can't stop and keep reminding myself.”
"There are still many people in the world who can't eat their fill like us back then. Zhen will definitely make sure that no one in the world will go hungry again.”
"In the future, if you take over your father's throne, you must also fulfill your duties and be a good emperor.”
It was obvious.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already regarded Zhu Xiongying as his successor.
What he didn't know was that if a miracle didn't happen last night, he would be in pain for the rest of his life.
In the 15th year of Hongwu's reign, the eldest grandson of the emperor died, a person whom he had identified as the third generation successor.
In the same year, Empress Ma, his first wife who had suffered with him, died.
Ten years later, in the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhu Biao, the second successor he had decided on, died again.
It could be said that these ten years were the most painful ten years of his life.
The few people closest to him died one after another, and the future of the Ming Dynasty was uncertain.
Fortunately, Zhu Xiongying was still alive.
It was even more impossible for him to die in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red as he hugged Zhu Xiongying on his thigh.
"You have to eat more. You're only about the same height as your brother when you're eight.”
"Grandfather, don't worry. In the future, your grandson will definitely eat two big bowls of rice every meal!”
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and opened the memorial on the table.
When he saw the contents, he sighed deeply.
"This tax…Why do I feel that it's strange?”
"The Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have had bumper harvests year after year, but the tax revenue is getting lesser and lesser…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was immersed in the memorial again.
He had a special hobby, and that was to read the contents of the memorials when he was correcting them.
She didn't know when she had developed this habit.
However, Zhu Xiong Ying was instantly energized after hearing this.
It was now the 15th year of Hongwu, and Old Zhu was still confused about the tax issue.
Could it be…
Kongyin Case?
Zhu Xiongying was not sure if this was the case, so he did not say anything.
Instead, he quietly watched Zhu Yuanzhang review the memorials.
After a while, the eunuch at the door came forward to report.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Imperial Sun requests an audience.”
The eunuch said in a sharp voice.
"Oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was a little strange.
In the past, these grandsons, whether it was Zhu Xiong Ying or Zhu Yun Wen, would not come to Fengtian Palace to look for him.
Even if she wanted to find him, she would have to go to the harem, to Empress Ma.
Why are all of you here today?
"Let him in!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said gently.
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, Zhu Xiongying, who was on Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh, knew that his chance had come.
The reason why Zhu Yunwen came to Fengtian Hall was naturally because Zhu Xiongying had asked the palace maid to call him.
Zhu Yunwen was afraid that Zhu Xiongying would report what happened last night, so she would definitely come to explain.
However!
Zhu Xiongying did not intend to give him this opportunity.
"Chongba, can you show me your jade seal?”
Zhu Xiongying raised his head and looked at the bearded Zhu Yuanzhang.
"What do you want our jade seal for?"”
"I've never seen the jade seal in detail!”
"I'm just a little curious," Zhu Xiongying said with a puzzled look.”
That was true.
Usually, the crown prince and the other princes would come to the Hall of Heaven's Tribute to attend court.
However, in the generation of the imperial grandchildren, the eldest Zhu Xiongying was only eight years old, and had come a few times.
He had never had the chance to see the jade seal.
Children were just curious. What bad intentions could they have?
At least, that was what Zhu Yuanzhang thought.
Without hesitation, he opened the box on the table and took out the jade seal.
"Come, my good grandson, as long as you don't take this jade seal away, you can look at it however you want.”
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that something was wrong. Zhu Xiongying's words didn't seem right.
However, he did not notice anything unusual as he was engrossed in correcting the memorials.
After Zhu Xiongying got the jade seal, he jumped down from Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh.
Walking to the entrance of the hall, he carefully examined the jade seal.
Of course, this was not the heirloom seal that the previous emperors had been fighting for.
The Imperial Jade Seal had already been lost.
The jade seal was carved from jade by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Xiong Ying held the jade seal and stood behind the gate of the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
The jade seal was tossed and caught in his hand, repeating this process.
He was waiting for someone!
The person who had spoken harshly at his bedside last night-Zhu Yunwen.
Not long after the eunuch left, he came in with Zhu Yunwen.
At this moment, the eunuch and Zhu Yunwen did not know what would happen next.
The eunuch reported to Zhu Yuanzhang after entering the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Imperial Sun has arrived.”
"Grandson Zhu Yunwen greets Imperial Grandfather.”
Zhu Yunwen looked at the table in front of her.
There was no Zhu Xiongying!
The only person sitting on it was his grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang.
Had he been tricked by Zhu Xiongying?
Last night, he had spoken harshly and was heard by the other party. Today, the other party had tricked him to come to Imperial Grandfather?
But the next second, Zhu Yunwen heard footsteps behind her.
He turned around and saw Zhu Xiongying's smiling face.
There was one more…
The jade seal that was raised above his head!
