"Good grandson!"
Early the next morning, the genius was bright, and Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang at Zhu Ming's door.
Zhu Ming rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the guy who woke him up from his sweet dream.
After seeing clearly that it was Zhu Yuanzhang, the anger in his heart subsided.
"Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Ming shouted with a hoarse voice and slowly got up from the bed.
"It's not time for class yet."
Zhu Ming complained dissatisfiedly that it was still early to leave the main hall.
This Lao Zhu, why did he wake himself up so early in the morning? Doesn’t he need to go to court today?
"I'm not going to the main hall today. I'll take you for a walk."
Zhu Yuanzhang just laughed a few times, walked over and took Zhu Ming out of bed.
"Grandpa Huang wants to take me out?"
Zhu Ming glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang with some confusion, and really couldn't understand what he was thinking.
"Yes, yes, let me introduce you to the new teacher we found for you."
Zhu Yuanzhang said and waved towards the door again.
Only then did Zhu Ming realize that there was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties standing outside the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, he just stood there upright, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, looking meticulous.
"New teacher?"
Zhu Ming only glanced at the man and frowned.
This teacher gives people a very strict feeling.
I'm afraid I won't have a good life in his hands.
"Xiao Ru, why don't you come and meet our good grandson?"
Seeing that Fang Xiaoru was still standing there, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly urged him.
The man then walked into Zhu Ming's room, saluted Zhu Ming and Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Fang Xiaoru, I have met the little emperor's grandson."
"Fang Xiaoru?"
Zhu Ming was also shocked when he heard the name.
The Fang Xiaoru who taught Zhu Yun to cut down the vassal clan and forced Zhu Laosi to rebel?
He looks like the kind of person who accepts death.
But looking at the way Fang Xiaoru looked at him, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to think highly of this scholar.
After all, although Fang Xiaoru was not good at politics, he was the first scholar of this generation in terms of knowledge.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to arrange him for himself, which shows that he really wanted to cultivate himself.
"From now on, he will be your teacher."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Ming on the back and motioned Zhu Ming to stand up.
"Hello teacher."
Only then did Zhu Ming react, stood up, straightened his clothes, and gave a big salute to Fang Xiaoru.
"Um."
Fang Xiaoru also nodded in approval, and it was obvious that he had a very good impression of Zhu Ming.
"Grandpa Huang, are you just here to introduce me to the teacher?"
After bowing to Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Ming looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's personality, this early morning should be more than just for such a simple thing.
"Of course, we want our dear grandson to go out with us for a walk today."
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Ming saw his purpose and admitted it openly. He was even a little happy that Zhu Ming could think of this.
"In this case, you wash up first and change your clothes. Grandpa Huang is waiting for you outside."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming's still somewhat messy clothes and hair, smiled, and walked out with Fang Xiaoru.
Zhu Ming looked at the backs of Zhu Yuanzhang and Fang Xiaoru and was stunned for a moment.
This Lao Zhu doesn’t value himself in an ordinary way.
"Xiaoru, what do you think of our good grandson?"
After leading Fang Xiaoru out of the side courtyard, Zhu Yuanzhang turned back to look at Fang Xiaoru and asked aloud.
There was uncontrollable expectation in his words.
What he likes to hear most is when others praise his good grandson.
"The little emperor's grandson is talented and intelligent. With a little training, he will definitely become a wise king."
Fang Xiaoru bowed again and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Okay, okay, then I'll leave this good grandson to you."
Sure enough, when he heard Fang Xiaoru say that Zhu Ming was Mingjun's son, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was visibly happy.
"You are responsible for training him to become a wise king of this generation."
If what Fang Xiaoru said was true and Zhu Ming could really become a wise king, he would not mind handing over the country to Zhu Ming.
And he didn't think that Fang Xiaoru would deliberately flatter him in order to please him.
"According to the order."
Fang Xiaoru responded firmly.
"Okay, go back and get ready."
He had to take Zhu Ming out today, so Zhu Yuanzhang no longer wasted Fang Xiaoru's time and waved his hand to let him leave: "When our dear grandson comes back, you can teach him again."
"My lord, please retire."
Fang Xiaoru bowed uprightly and saluted again, and then retreated. Every move he made was just like what a Confucian scholar wrote in his book.
No wonder scholars all over the world recognize Fang Xiaoru.
"Students are just different."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Xiaoru's figure and shook his head, unable to help but sigh.
After waiting in this side courtyard for a while, Zhu Ming changed into a set of beautiful clothes and walked out.
"Grandpa Huang."
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang waiting at the door, Zhu Ming also shouted obediently.
"Our sweet grandson is getting prettier and prettier."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, looked at Zhu Ming, and picked him up again.
Zhu Ming was already used to Zhu Yuanzhang's unexpected intimate behavior, and just looked at him doubtfully: "Grandpa Huang, where are we going?"
"My dear grandson will know then."
Hearing Zhu Ming's question, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to answer, but instead kept it secret.
"Uncle Yunqi, won't you follow?"
Zhu Ming looked around Zhu Yuanzhang and then noticed that the eunuch Yun Qi who had been following Zhu Yuanzhang surprisingly did not show up today.
"If he doesn't go, it will be just us and my grandson today."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, hugged Zhu Ming and walked out of the palace gate.
Zhu Ming was in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang carrying him out of the imperial city, the doubts in his heart became more and more serious.
This Lao Zhu doesn't want to throw himself away.
It shouldn't be, he just introduced Fang Xiaoru to him as his teacher, that's not allowed.
"Come on, dear grandson, come down."
Zhu Yuanzhang led Zhu Ming to a downtown entrance at the foot of the capital, then put Zhu Ming down, held his hand and walked in.
In order to bring Zhu Ming out, he specially prepared casual clothes.
Coupled with the temperament of a peasant background, it really doesn't feel out of place to be mixed in the bustling city.
Zhu Ming just followed Zhu Yuanzhang and walked in the busy city.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang constantly picking up things and asking prices, his brows would wrinkle slightly from time to time, and he would put them down again with a sigh.
Zhu Yuanzhang today is so abnormal.
However, Zhu Ming did not ask out loud. Anyway, when it was time to let him know, Zhu Yuanzhang would tell him himself.
"Yesterday, the Tohoku department came with a discount."
After walking several stalls, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his voice and explained quietly in Zhu Ming's ear.
His voice was very low, and in this noisy downtown, only Zhu Ming could hear him clearly.
