The rice cooked by Lao Xu was delivered quickly. It was not very delicious, but it was quite filling.
Big meat, big oil, big cakes, etc., and a small jar of wine.
The two of them, grandfather and grandson, are here, eating and drinking, talking about things.
"Grandpa!" Zhu Xiongying looked at Lao Zhu and asked again.
"Huh? You tell me!" Lao Zhu said without stopping with his chopsticks.
"Why did grandpa just ask me to recognize my ancestor and return to the clan, and then directly said that he wanted me to inherit the throne or something like that!"
"You know, although I am indeed a bloodline of the Zhu family, I have been missing ten years."
"Let's not talk about outsiders. It's just me. Grandpa believes that I can run the Ming Dynasty well?" Zhu Xiongying asked.
After listening to Zhu Xiongying's words, Lao Zhu also put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass, and signaled to Zhu Xiongying.
The two drank it all in one gulp, and Zhu Xiongying also filled it up in time.
"Dasun!" Lao Zhu then said,
"Don't think that these ten years are your weakness and your shortcomings!"
"On the contrary, we feel that these ten years are your most precious!"
"Your ten years among the people will allow you to know the sufferings of the people and understand what the people need!"
"We ourselves come from among the people, so we naturally understand how the people should be treated."
"So is your father. He has followed us since he was a child, and even so, we often let him go among the people!"
"So, I won't hesitate when I choose you!" Lao Zhu said,
"There's another one, do you know what it is?"
Zhu Xiongying was curious, but he still kept smiling, making it difficult for people to see what this young man was thinking.
"There is another one, the eldest grandson yourself, the eldest grandson of our Zhu Yuanzhang, the eldest son of your father, our boss."
"The rules we have set ourselves will not be broken by ourselves!"
"It's not like we haven't thought about your uncles, but them!"
As he said this, Lao Zhu himself shook his head.
"Each of them has its own flaws!"
"Nothing compared to your father!"
As he said this, Lao Zhu sighed for a while.
"Second brother, your second uncle, Zhu Feng, is brave if he is brave, but he is cruel!"
"You wantonly persecute your own palace and people. It's ineffective!"
"Third brother, your third uncle, Zhu Fan, is smart, good at both civil and military affairs, and has good strategies."
"Over the years, I have worked hard to defend the north. I have controlled the area and am highly respected by my generals!"
"But this third child is also a violent person!"
"It's not okay to punch someone just because they don't agree with each other!"
"As for the fourth child, your fourth uncle Zhu Di!"
At this time, Lao Zhu sighed a little.
And Zhu Xiongying kept looking at Lao Zhu, smiled, and asked,
"Fourth Uncle, does he not have these flaws anymore?"
"But I haven't heard of anything cruel about my fourth uncle!"
"There are a lot of killings, but they are also justified and we will not kill people indiscriminately!"
"And he is brave in battle, so he is a good candidate, right?"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xiongying, but he met Zhu Xiongying's clear eyes.
At this time, even Lao Zhu could only make a rough guess about Zhu Xiongying's thoughts.
But Lao Zhu didn’t hide it, and still said,
"Yes, your fourth uncle is pretty good!"
"He is brave and courageous, and he does things cleanly and neatly!"
"Even if he is not as good as your father, he is still a talented person, similar to us!"
"But he still can't!"
"Not to mention anything else, just this ranking, we can't let him be on it!"
"So, all this has nothing to do with him!"
"We can only pass it on from generation to generation!"
"It just so happens that you, Dasun, showed up at this time. God has been so kind to us!"
"Your appearance is the most suitable successor!"
Listening to Lao Zhu's words, Zhu Xiongying kept nodding.
He himself understands these things.
Zhu Fan was a cruel man. Even after his death, Lao Zhu even said it was a good death.
He tortured and killed many of his subordinates, including the common people under his rule, including young children, eunuchs, and palace maids.
This time Zhu Biao went to Xi'an Mansion, one to inspect the capital, and the other to reprimand his second brother.
I just didn’t expect it...
The third child, Zhu Fan, really has no faults except being irritable.
In the north, they continued to attack, and the nomadic people in the north did not dare to invade the border easily.
The current third child is almost the most powerful among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.
Even Zhu Di can't compare to Zhu Fan's strength at this time.
Also, many of the powerful generals under Lan Yu's command, the generals who had followed Lan Yu in the battle at Yu'erhai, were all under Lao San's command.
Even when Lao Zhu was creating the Lan Yu case, Lao San even suppressed these elite soldiers and generals under Lan Yu.
It can be said that Lao San was inside and contributed a lot, allowing Lao Zhu to deal with Lan Yu without any distractions and deal with him.
If he hadn't died early, it would have been just a competition on the battlefield, taking advantage of his own family wealth and the generals under his command.
Zhu Di may not be Zhu Fan's opponent.
As for Zhu Di, needless to say, he is very capable and ambitious.
I can't see anything yet.
After all, Lao Zhu is still here, but in the future, Zhu Xiongying is not sure what his fourth uncle will do.
As for the latter ones, there is no need to say much.
At this time, Zhu Xiongying nodded and said,
"It's really my ten years of experience and my own identity that made Grandpa decide this way!"
"But isn't grandpa worried about my abilities?"
"Hahaha!" Lao Zhu laughed directly and said,
"What do we have to worry about!"
"Dasun, your city, your decisiveness, your intelligence, humility, and stability!"
"We've all seen our communication with you!"
"We still have a good life for a while now!"
"Of course I can train you well. With your ability, you can completely control the entire Ming Dynasty!"
"Speaking of which, if you don't show up, we really want to choose one of your brothers."
"You are much more suitable than your brothers, right?"
"Don't we still want to teach your brothers?"
"I almost always need to teach you, but you are the most suitable in every aspect!"
"And it must be you!" Lao Zhu said, his tone becoming more firm.
Good guy, in the past it was just because of Zhu Xiongying's identity, but the more you talk about it, the more you feel that this throne really belongs to your eldest grandson?
Is this God's will?
His eldest grandson really showed up at the right time.
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying with even more satisfaction.
Raising their wine glasses, the two clinked again.
However, they were talking happily and comforting each other in various ways.
But other people are not in such a good mood at this time...
