"Yes, grandpa," Zhu Xiongying stroked the side edge of the loom with his hand and said, "otherwise, where did this loom come from?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said,
"Hahahaha, that's right!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson, the admiration in his eyes overflowing.
In the eyes of others, although Lao Zhu is not considered to be in his prime, there is absolutely no problem in remaining in power for more than ten years.
But Lao Zhu chose to abdicate early and gave the country to his underage grandson.
Most people certainly don't understand in their hearts, why did Lord Hong Wu do this?
However, Lao Zhu himself knew it well.
Why should we give way? The answer couldn't be clearer!
Our eldest grandson is much more capable than me!
If the government is in chaos and the world is constantly in turmoil, in such an environment, there is no doubt that the iron-blooded Hongwu Ye is the best candidate for emperor.
However, that era of chaos has passed, and the world cannot remain in a reign of terror for a long time.
It can be said that Lao Zhu passed the baton in his hand at the most appropriate time, and he passed it to his most trusted eldest grandson.
"Xia Qing, Yang Qing, you two just go down and do it. It's best to present the general idea to me in the morning tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xia Yuanji and Yang Rong happily accepted the order. It was already afternoon. His Majesty's meaning could not be more obvious. He wanted them to stay up late tonight and work overtime to complete this matter.
Naturally, these two people had no objections. Even if His Majesty did not order them to come down, they would do this themselves.
In a benign social environment, everyone among officials has self-motivation.
"Your Majesty, that humble minister must retire."
After watching Xia Yuanji and Yang Rong leave, Zhu Xiongying felt a fanatical gaze looking at him,
"Grandpa, why are you looking at your grandson like this?"
Seeing that there was no one in the hall, Lao Zhu was finally able to express his feelings. Without saying a word, he stepped forward, picked up Zhu Xiongying and spun him around twice.
Then he rubbed his stubbled face hard against his eldest grandson's tender face.
"Hahahaha, eldest grandson, we really have smoke rising from the graves of our ancestors! We have given birth to such a wonderful eldest grandson!"
"Grandpa, you'd better take someone with you to deliver this new textile machine to Xianshu Palace."
Zhu Yuanzhang moved his face away from Zhu Xiongying's face and said doubtfully,
"Why don't we just find a few people to handle this matter? Why don't we personally send her back to the girl? We want to stay with you for a while!"
Zhu Xiongying suppressed his laughter, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang seriously, and said,
"Grandpa, if you still want to go to bed tonight, you have to do what your grandson says."
Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils trembled when he heard this, and he subconsciously asked, "Is the matter so big?"
But before his eldest grandson nodded in reply, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted again,
"Eldest grandson, I think you are thinking too much.
You can’t get used to women! Even our girls are the same! Whatever you want is up to her, and she will take control of you from now on! "
Zhu Xiongying now smiles and doesn't speak, just watching his grandfather's performance quietly,
Lao Zhu was so angry that his chest heaved violently, he stood up suddenly and shouted angrily,
“Before our girl left, she stared at us inexplicably, and we didn’t know where we offended her!
No, I can't coddle her like this anymore! Let’s go back to the palace now and take good care of her! "
Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of Tianyu Palace angrily.
Zhu Xiongying counted three times on the spot.
"three...."
"two...."
"one....."
As soon as Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, his grandfather turned back again.
Zhu Yuanzhang avoided the sight of his eldest grandson, called the guards behind him and said,
"Come! Take this big guy to the harem for us!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Four guards came forward and began to move the new textile machine.
Zhu Xiongying asked doubtfully,
"Grandpa, if you want to take care of grandma, you don't need to bring this thing with you, right?"
"Cough cough cough cough cough!" Lao Zhu coughed to cover up his embarrassment and said harshly, "By the way, take it with you."
"Oh~~~~" Zhu Xiongying said oh, but did not expose his grandfather.
Lao Zhu's thick skin was turned black and red.
"Your Majesty! Are you leaving?"
"Let's go! Go back to the palace!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and left in a hurry. Zhu Xiongying stuck out his tongue. He seemed to have seen the miserable state of grandpa kneeling in front of grandma.
Grandpa can now pretend to be in front of himself.
No matter how cruel Grandpa is talking now, if he really wants to go to Grandma, it will be basically the same as seeing a cat and a mouse.
.........
Outside Tianyu Palace
"Master Xia, please stay!"
Yang Rong quickly caught up with Xia Yuanji, and Xia Yuanji turned around.
"Master Yang, are you okay?"
Yang Rong quickly waved his hands and said shyly, "Your Majesty, your words are serious! How can this official be worthy of being called Your Majesty?"
Xia Yuanji stood still and said meaningfully,
"Your Majesty thinks highly of Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang does not need to belittle himself. He will serve your Majesty more in the future."
Yang Rong nodded and looked at Xia Yuanji with admiration.
Now among all the scholars in the world, who doesn’t know that great story?
The grandson who had not yet succeeded to the throne, while boating on the lake, promoted Xia Yuanji, who had just entered the capital in white, to the position of the household department.
This story has become the Ming Dynasty version of Qianli Ma meets Bole. The book is sung everywhere.
"Master Xia is right, I will do the work of dogs and horses for Your Majesty!"
Xia Yuanji had a smile in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction. Although he had no real contact with Yang Rong, it did not mean that Xia Yuanji did not understand Yang Rong.
Yang Rong is very talented, but his character needs more polishing.
It was with this intention that Lord Hong Wu arranged for Yang Rong to go to the most basic level of the Ministry of Industry to train before he abdicated.
"Master Xia, I saw Master Xia today, and he is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
"Well-deserved?" Xia Yuanji stretched out his hand and made a gesture of companionship. Yang Rong nodded and followed, but deliberately lagged half a step behind Xia Yuanji.
Although Xia Yuanji is not very old, he shows his maturity in every move he makes. When you get along with him, you subconsciously feel that Mr. Xia is an elder.
"I'm curious as to what my reputation is."
When Yang Rong heard this, the admiration in his eyes became even greater. If someone else said this, Yang Rong would make a judgment without hesitation.
This person is showing off here!
But Mr. Xia is completely different. As Mr. Xia said, he really doesn't know what his reputation is.
"Master Xia, you are a role model for the world's scholars!"
"Oh?" Xia Yuanji's eyes flashed, and he naturally knew why. This was really a story of his reaching the sky in one step.
Let me ask everyone in the world, who doesn’t want to reach the sky in one step? Who doesn’t want to be noticed by His Majesty at first sight?
Xia Yuanji, for scholars all over the world, is really a template for cool writing.
