"Imperial Grandfather!"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became agitated.
The entire Eastern Palace fell into a strange silence.
Zhu Yunhao lowered his head in fear and cowardice after being stared at by his grandfather.
He looked very thin and weak on the outside. His lack of confidence all year round made him droop his body.
The clothes he was wearing today were personally chosen by Madam Lu.
But…he couldn't support himself.
There was an inexplicable sense of weakness and sloppiness.
Moreover…
This was because he spent most of his time in the small courtyard and rarely went out.
Therefore, his face was abnormally pale.
Facing his own grandfather.
However, he only dared to take a glance. The second he took a look, he lowered his head in panic.
It was very imaginable…
This person was actually Da Ming's imperial grandson?
However…
Zhu Yuanzhang kept staring at him carefully, then looked around.
He looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Emperor, the food has just been prepared. The sun is bright outside.”
Seeing this, Madam Lu quickly reminded her and signaled Zhu Yunwen to bring the old man to the main seat.
Zhu Yunwen quickly supported him.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also recovered from his shock.
He followed Zhu Yunwen to the main seat.
The moment he sat down.
Lady Lu immediately stepped forward.
"Yun Wen said before that the Emperor will be coming to the Eastern Palace in the next two days, so my daughter-in-law wants to make some of the Emperor's favorite dishes."”
"Thus, there are only some vegetarian dishes on the table. Imperial Physician Liu said that it's lighter and good for the body.”
"I remember that the emperor likes this steamed fish too, so I steamed it simply. I didn't put too much seasoning. Eating fish can also relieve some fatigue.”
"And this ginseng soup, this…this was the crown prince's favorite drink.”
Madam Lu pointed at the dishes on the table and introduced them one by one.
When she pointed at the soup dish in the middle, she suddenly choked.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank as he glanced at the table.
Suddenly.
He looked around and saw a bowl beside him.
He saw this familiar location.
He instantly felt sorrow from the bottom of his heart.
"This is…"
"This is the position of the Crown Prince when he was alive!”"Although the Crown Prince has been gone for almost a year," Lady Lu said softly, choking with sobs.”
"But in the past year, I feel like the Crown Prince is right beside me.”
"Yun Wen also said that when we eat, we must put an extra bowl and chopsticks on the seat where the Crown Prince was when he was alive. Whatever we eat, the crown prince will eat. This way, it feels…it feels like the house is still the same as before, nothing has changed…"
"In this year, Yun Wen didn't let down the Crown Prince's request before he left, so she went out early and returned late every day, striving to not let down the Emperor's painstaking efforts.”
" If the crown prince knew…If he knew…Sob…"
At this point.
Lady Lu couldn't help but sob.
As Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he felt as if sand had entered his eyes.
He let out a long breath.
Looking at his son's familiar position, he muttered,""You're so thoughtful! Yun Wen is thoughtful, you are thoughtful too!”
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Sit down, Yunwen, and these two little guys, Yunchen, sit down too!”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and pointed at everyone to take their seats.
Then, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and placed it in the bowl beside him.
"Eat!"
Madam Lu did not cook any big fish or meat. They were all home-cooked dishes, but Zhu Yuanzhang ate them with relish.
"I heard from Yun Wen that there's a blind thing who wrote a grievance letter these days…disrespectful to the Emperor.”
While eating.
Madam Lu also casually chatted with them.
Zhu Yuanzhang finished eating a piece of fish meat, carefully tasting the tenderness of the fish meat, and then spat out the thorn.
"It seems that the news from the palace is also very fast. There is such a person, hmph! What an audacious and arrogant person!"
He thought of Su Huai.
Zhu Yuanzhang's anger rose again.
Lady Lu quickly smiled." How could it be that the news from the palace is fast? Who wouldn't be surprised to see that sudden snowfall?"”
"There are many discussions in and outside the palace!”
"Some news naturally came in.”
"There is also news from the people.”
These words obviously piqued Zhu Yuanzhang's interest.
"Oh? What do the people say?"
Lady Lu smiled calmly.
"What else can I say? My daughter-in-law only found out from the discussions of the people in the palace.”
"Most of them are divided into two factions."
"One faction, most of them said that this person was involved in a big case that he shouldn't be involved in. The final outcome will definitely not be good.”
"The other faction naturally thinks that the Imperial Court has a clear sky and that the Emperor can uphold justice.”
Madam Lu said.
He suddenly asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
She first casually fed a small piece of tofu to her youngest son.
"Speaking of which, I'm also very curious about some of the things they said…"
Zhu Yuanzhang drank a small bowl of ginseng soup." What are you curious about?”
"Of course, I'm curious about that person's identity and his bold actions.”
"How could an ordinary centurion be involved in that case?”
"Even if he was really involved, how could an ordinary son of a centurion write that…that kind of words!”
He said the last three words.
Madam Lu deliberately emphasized.
Her question seemed to be unintentional, but it had clearly reminded the old master.
The latter immediately stopped eating.
That's right!
How could a small son of a hundred households have such guts?
Even if there was, in the face of the threat of death, he would suddenly hold the Great Gao and come all the way to the Dengwen Drum to write the Blood Book of Wronging Injustice.
However!
To put it bluntly, he was still an ordinary person.
Where did he get so much knowledge? Not only did he mention the drawbacks of the royal family, but he also saw through the drawbacks after the abolition of the prime minister?
Furthermore!
He could still give a solution.
There was even the final policy of the four people, as well as the imperial examination!
Although he stopped midway, he continued.
But there was no doubt.
If the other party was given more time, the other party would definitely be able to say more!
Then!
He was just a small son of a hundred households, what right did he have?
He couldn't help it.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Lan Yu and that Baihu, who was also this bastard's father, Su Zhenan!
And those secret letters.
And the secret of his identity!
He had previously told Blue Jade that if Blue Jade really wanted to rebel!
He must have made a lot of preparations.
He had many options.
His son-in-law was also the eleventh prince of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Shu!
And sitting opposite him was his second grandson, Zhu Yunyan!
Amongst them.
The King of Shu, Zhu Chun, was capable enough!
However, his identity was not good enough!
If Lan Yu placed the treasure on him, there was no doubt that in the future, the officials and princes would not sit idly by!
So...
His most likely choice was actually still Zhu Yunchen from the palace.
As a direct descendant and also the blood of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
Zhu Yunxin and the nobles of Huaixi, everyone must and would recognize half of the bloodline of King Kaiping's Mansion!
Zhu Yunchen was timid and easy to control!
Of course…
There was one last possibility!
After all, Yun Ren grew up in the royal family, and it was said that he had some relationship with them and Kaiping King's Mansion, but he was still the grandson of the Zhu family.
It was also very uncontrollable!
Therefore…
There was one last possibility!
According to those 'secret letters'.
It was just like his previous " inconceivable, almost crazy idea."
Blue Jade, no!
To be more precise, Lan Yu had yet to grow into the current Duke of Liang in the 15th year of Hongwu's reign when his grandson died of illness!
And the Huaixi officials were not just distinguished. There were also some civil officials who began to entrust many trusted aides to find many children who were extremely similar to our eldest grandson.
After all!
In the 13th year of Hongwu, when Hu Weiyong was found guilty, the ones who were executed the most were not the civil officials of the southeastern faction.
Instead, they were officials of Huaixi.
Hu Weiyong was the representative of Huaixi's power in the current dynasty, and he was closely related to many of Huaixi's nobles.
Li Shan Chang was behind it!
He was also the mastermind behind Huaixi!
And one had to know.
Li Shan Chang was executed by him in the 23rd year of Hongwu, which was three years ago!
They had the time to plan a conspiracy that lasted for ten years!
They had trained him seriously for many years.
So...
That was why he had the knowledge and knowledge he had today, as well as the pros and cons of the national policy?
Their original plan was…
One day, when he was released, the Huaixi forces would completely seize the throne and occupy the magpie's nest?
And the Crown Prince's departure.
This was the chance?
However, they did not expect that he would mention the Blue Jade Case, which led to their plan being exposed!
If his guess was correct!
Then…
That Su Huai who gave him the 'Letter of Rectification' must be very similar to the eldest grandson of the Great Bright Emperor!
Even though ten years had passed.
However, if one looked closely, one would definitely be able to see the outline of its appearance.
And this…
This was also the real reason why Zhu Yuanzhang had never looked at Su Huai's appearance during this period of time!
Why?
Because the entire Da Ming…
She didn't even know how much that eldest grandson meant to her.
He was once the future that he had entrusted to Great Ming fifty years later!
He was the third generation of the Ming Dynasty, and he had experienced his own "martial arts" and the Crown Prince's "literature"…
From then on, he would lead Great Ming to become a powerful monarch far beyond Han and Tang!
He was afraid…
He was afraid that once he saw it, his heart would soften!
He didn't want to kill anymore!
But in this case…
Wouldn't he have fallen into the plot of those traitors from Huaixi?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a surge of emotions.
Previously!
He had indeed thought about it, but he was overthinking it.
Everything was just as Lan Yu had said.
He had wronged Lan Yu.
He had really placed the remaining letters there unintentionally.
And these few years, he had indeed helped many of the descendants of the soldiers who had died for Great Ming.
However!
Now, Lady Lu's question reminded him.
If…
Just as Lan Yu had said, these were the descendants of the soldiers he had helped in the past.
Would a child who grew up in the marketplace have so much knowledge?
King Tan? Talking about the power of civil officials? Tan Simin? Even the imperial examinations?
Huaixi's bandits had been massacred by him too many times over the years…
Therefore, she kept thinking about it.
I want to change my Big Ming!
At this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the thoughts in his mind were unprecedentedly sensitive.
His eyes flickered…
Waves surged in his heart!
If that was really the case!
If that was really the case…then he would definitely not let them succeed!
Absolutely not!
……
At this moment.
Lady Lu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly did not speak.
She wanted to ask again.
But suddenly…
"The meal is almost over, you guys can leave first…I came here today to ask Yunchen a few things.”
Hearing this!
The mother and son, who were still waiting for an answer, suddenly paused.
Zhu Yunhao's body trembled as he looked at the imperial grandfather in horror…
"Imperial Grandfather…"
Zhu Yunwen actually wanted to stay here.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang looked over with an unquestionable gaze.
Madam Lu immediately stood up and let Zhu Yunwen carry the youngest child.
He was holding the other older child.
He left quietly.
However…
When they arrived at the courtyard, Madam Lu and Zhu Yunwen slowed down.
After leaving the house, Lady Lu handed the child to the palace maids and asked them to take him far away.
He and Zhu Yunwen quietly looked into the room.
At the dining table.
Zhu Yunhao had already stood up helplessly.
He took a few steps back, looking a little uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
"Scared?"
"I'm your grandfather. Are you afraid of me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him.
Zhu Yunhao, who was already timid, immediately took a few steps back.
He raised both his hands and kept them in the air, but his eyes kept avoiding Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze.
"Imperial Grandfather, I'm not afraid…I'm just…just…"
Seeing this appearance.
Outside, Madam Lu and Zhu Yunwen relaxed.
As expected!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up angrily.
He looked at his grandson in disappointment!
Look!
Look!
This was the grandson of Da Ming?
We!
His uncle, our sons, which one of them isn't a tiger or wolf?
Even the King of Qin and the King of Jin were cruel and violent.
As the most powerful imperial grandson in the world!
How did it become like this?
He wanted to get angry, but he suddenly remembered what Su Huai had told him before.
One had no mother since he was young and was raised by his stepmother.
His father did not like him either.
The only thing that could give him a sense of security was his eldest brother and grandmother, who both passed away in the same year.
If there were any more gossips in the palace, such as jinxing his mother, jinxing his brother, jinxing his grandmother, jinxing his father…
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze slowly softened.
"You don't have to be nervous. I just want to ask you one thing!”
"What do you think of the Blue Jade Case?”
Zhu Yunhao's eyes avoided his gaze and he was suddenly at a loss." This is a major event of the country! I…I don't know…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious for no reason!
"Then tell us what you think!”
"Your biological uncle is among them!”
" You have your uncle, your mother, and all your elders…"
"Even…you should know how important Lan Yu and the Huaixi party are to you!”
As soon as he said this.
Zhu Yunhao retreated again.
However, his expression was one of fear and pity.
"I don't know…I don't know…"
"He's still shaking his head!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily,"I told you to say it!"”
He didn't know when.
Zhu Yun retreated further and further.
Facing Imperial Grandfather's continuous interrogation.
He was still shaking his head, and tears were already flowing down his face." Imperial Grandfather, I really don't know…Don't ask me, this is a matter of national importance. Ask the officials, ask Second Brother…I don't know…I really don't know!”
The more he was like this!
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more furious!
At this moment.
The latter couldn't hold it in any longer and strode forward!
He roared,
"We won't ask!"
"We won't ask anyone!"
"Let's ask you. Speak!"
Finally…
Zhu Yunhao, who had already collapsed from the interrogation, could no longer hold back his pale face that was filled with fear and terror...
"Pfft!" Snot flowed down his face!
"Plop!"
With a thud, he knelt on the ground.
The pain in his legs made his face contort, but he did not make a sound.
Instead, she was crying, as if she was trying to hide the words in her chest.
It instantly poured out!
"Imperial Grandfather…I know…I know…"
"I know…they died because of me!”
"But…I don't want that, I really don't want that…I don't want them to die because of me."
Zhu Yunhao looked up, her face wet with tears.
However, he raised his head and cried,
"Imperial Grandfather, this grandson swears, this grandson swears that I will never touch the throne of Great Ming!”
"Imperial Grandfather, please have mercy and spare Uncle and the others!”
The final scene!
Zhu Yunhao quickly climbed up and arrived in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
That face made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a sense of panic, and even a sense of familiarity.
Immediately after.
Zhu Yunhao roared in grief,"
"Imperial Grandfather…"
"Grandson…Grandson is begging you!"
