There was a proud look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face. At this moment, he didn't look like Lord Hongwu who had restored the Han people and brought the world under his control.
On the contrary, like the village entrance and fellow villagers showing off as an ordinary grandfather who has returned from his studies, Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed Zhu Xiongying's hand and pushed Zhu Xiongying in front of him.
asked with a smile,
"Fathers and fellow villagers, tell me! Can we let our eldest grandson take over our class?"
"I think it will work!"
"It is most appropriate for Your Highness to come and take over from Master Hong Wu!"
"Our lives have been so good before His Highness takes the throne. Every family has enough to eat. But if His Highness takes the post, why don't we just take off?"
"Hahaha, that's for sure!"
"Anyway, I, Old Li, don't know anything else. I just believe in Master Hongwu. I will support whoever Master Hongwu asks to take over!"
"What you said makes sense, okay, Lao Li, you are not as stupid as usual!"
"Fart, I'm not stupid to begin with!"
The people around him burst out laughing at Old Li, and Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Old Li, I don't think he is stupid at all. He is so wise as to be foolish!"
Lao Li's face turned red with embarrassment, and he shouted to the people around him at the top of his lungs,
"Did you hear that? Lord Hongwu said I'm not stupid! If you talk nonsense again in the future, I'll beat you up!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lao Zhu held his stomach and laughed. It was rare to see Lao Zhu laughing so happily in the palace.
Zhu Xiongying looked at his grandfather's happy face and thought to himself,
Maybe grandpa really belongs not in the palace, but here.
But Lao Zhu was also real enough. It was too late to hide the matter of the emperor's succession. Lao Zhu took it all out without hesitation.
One person dares to ask, and a group of people dare to answer.
Civil and military officials, the army, the people,
Zhu Yuanzhang has already got the answer from everyone, that is, everyone recognizes the emperor's grandson's accession to the throne, at least on the surface.
"Since everyone has agreed, it's settled with us. On the first day of the first lunar month, our eldest grandson will succeed to the throne, and everyone who can come will be able to support me!"
There was a chorus of agreement among the people. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the half-blind old woman with a smile and said softly,
"Sister, on the first day of the first lunar month, I will call your Erdan and take you into the palace. We will arrange a seat for you!"
The people around him gasped when they heard the sound, but when they thought about it, the person in front of them was none other than Master Hong Wu, and they knew that His Majesty was definitely not joking.
As long as the old woman comes to the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year, His Majesty will definitely serve her in a private seat.
No one can doubt this.
No matter how unconscious the old woman was, she still realized that this was an absolute must, so she quickly waved her hand and said,
"Master Hongwu, this can't be done. I, how can I be qualified to sit in the palace? Look at me, I'm so dirty. I don't have the money to enter the palace."
Lao Li was so crowded next to him. It seemed that he and the old woman knew each other. They should be neighbors.
"Damn it, Mr. Hongwu said he would let you in, so what else can I do to save you? No money!"
The old woman hesitated,
"Then I can't go empty-handed. It's the birthday of such a good boy, and I want to get him something..."
The old woman didn't understand that Zhu Xiongying ascended the throne on the first day of the Lunar New Year. She just thought she was celebrating this good boy's birthday.
But even so, this sincerity is still the most shocking.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the old woman's hand passionately, took out the half-bitten hot potatoes that he had just put into his arms, raised them high and said,
"Sister, who said you were rude? Let's see, these two potatoes are more rare than any gold and silver jewelry! They deserve a seat!"
Zhu Yuanzhang softened his tone and amplified his voice in the old woman's ear, fearing that the old woman could not hear clearly.
"Sister! Don't forget the date! Just come! Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not forget this!"
"Master Hong Wu, I, I..."
Seeing that the old woman was still embarrassed, the neighbor next to him, Old Li, who was silly and bold, couldn't help it.
He took out a stack of large sesame cakes from the pole on the ground beside him. After wrapping them in paper, he strode forward and stuffed them into the old woman's arms.
"Damn it, Erdan, if you think the gift is not enough, here is a big pile of sesame seed cakes, take it!"
The old woman was holding sesame cakes in her arms, looking a little overwhelmed. She looked at Old Li and said,
"Xiao Li, you are baking sesame cakes before dawn, and you can't make much money in a day. What are you going to do if you give this to me?"
"Damn it, Erdan, don't even think about this! Just think that I will follow you into the palace! I will sell sesame cakes for the rest of my life and I won't be able to borrow this money!"
This sesame seed cake is worth it! "
Lao Zhu took the sesame seed cakes from the old woman's arms, squeezed them, and said with a big smile,
"Your sesame cakes are so skillfully made, so delicious and hot, they make us hungry!"
When Lao Li heard the praise from Master Hong Wu, no matter how proud he was, he did not dare to break his horse and make a move. He said respectfully,
"Master Hong Wu, I have been making sesame seed cakes all my life. If I take second place in this aspect, no one will dare to take first place!"
"Okay! You have to have this energy in whatever you do! Whether it's running the country or making sesame cakes, it all looks the same to us!"
Seeing Lao Li's move, other people also reacted. Those who had fruits took fruits, and those who had grains took grains.
"Auntie, I have some fruit here, take it!"
"Fuck you, I have one too!"
"I have one here too. Count me in when the time comes to enter the palace!"
"Hahahaha, I can't do errands either!"
"...."
In an instant, a hill piled up in front of the old woman.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes softened,
"Sister, your gift is enough. You must be there."
The old woman's cloudy eyes became clearer and she assured,
"I must go! I must go!"
Zhu Xiongying felt a sore nose when he saw this. What a good person he is.
They are simple, sincere, have the most vigorous vitality, and have the simplest moral values.
They will treat whoever is good to them. The big guys are not fools or blind people.
We all know that Zhu Yuanzhang is a good emperor to everyone, so everyone also loves Ming Dynasty and Lao Zhu from the bottom of their hearts.
On New Year's Day, with this old woman, the enthronement ceremony will definitely be exciting! Even Zhu Xiongying couldn’t help but look forward to it!
Of course, what is more important is that Lao Zhu practiced what he taught Zhu Xiongying.
Those who achieve great things benefit the world.
What on earth are you going to do when you carry the people of the country and hundreds of millions of living beings on your shoulders?
At the very least, this is definitely not a gift, but a responsibility.
After arriving at the scene for a long time, they still didn't come over. Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi, father and son, who were watching all this not far away, were also moved.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh, "The era of heroes... will be so heroic!"
Zhu Yunxi naturally responded, "Yes, daddy."
Zhu Biao slowly widened his eyes, thinking that he had heard wrongly. He turned to look at Zhu Yunxi in disbelief and asked,
"What did you call me?"
Zhu Yunxi rarely calls Zhu Biao daddy. Zhu Biao can be sure that he definitely heard it!
