demise.
This is an ancient and fine tradition in the Central Plains. It can be traced back to the ancient period before Shuo and Xia, which has not many records.
At that time, the world had not yet become a family, and the kings of the world had virtue and talent as their primary criterion.
After Xia, it became a family and a world.
However, the king abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, but it still existed. The most famous among them is that after the Xuanwu Gate Revolution during the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuanchan abdicated the throne to the then King of Qin Li Shimin.
In this way, the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the rule of Zhenguan were achieved. The emperor of the Central Plains was called the Khan of Heaven by all the nations in the outside world.
The only one from all eternity!
It's just that at this time, His Highness King Qin of the Ming Dynasty was far away in Zhejiang Province, taking the blame, and the prince had no evil deeds. He was even respected and followed by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
The increasingly calm emperor's grandson became the emperor's grandson who was the supervisor of the country. Whenever someone thought alone under the moonlight, they would suddenly wake up. The Ming Dynasty now had three generations and two supervisors of the country.
Looking through the history books, I can no longer find any dynasty that can have such a solid national heritage.
Among the dozens of sons and daughters of the old Zhu family present, what everyone thought before tonight was that the Ming Dynasty would be passed down stably for three generations.
However, no one expected that the old man would reveal such a heavy and even shocking intention tonight.
The emperor is the emperor, and he will not have a different identity just because of the different people he faces.
Even though the old man is now the father, grandfather, father-in-law and husband of everyone present.
His most important identity is still the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, every word he said is worthy of everyone's pondering and speculation.
Zhu Biao took a deep look at the old man, then silently lowered his head, looking down at his two younger brothers lying on the ground, snoring wantonly.
The twenty-third prince Zhu Huang, who was still holding the roasted leg of lamb, quietly passed between his brothers and arrived in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Huang raised his head, leaving a glistening line of grease at the corner of his mouth.
He frowned and said in a sweet voice: "Is my father no longer the emperor? Does that mean I have to supervise Guan'er's studies every day?"
Zhu Huang spoke out with such childish worries.
The originally solemn atmosphere at the scene was broken by these childish words.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to laugh, and then a group of princes and princes who gathered around echoed in laughter.
Zhu Huang raised his head and looked at the laughter of his father and brothers, with suspicion on his face. He quietly threw away the gnawed mutton leg and already hugged Zhu Yuanzhang's thigh with his greasy hands.
Before the old man could cast a look of disdain and disdain on him, Zhu Huang had already said, "Father, I will study hard in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared, raised his hand and slapped the youngest son on the forehead. With a little force, Zhu Huang's hands left his thighs.
"If you don't study hard, you won't even be able to enter the East Palace!"
These words were extremely lethal to Zhu Huang.
To others, the East Palace may have countless political meanings, but to the twenty-third prince of the Ming Dynasty, it means countless food, countless fun, and endless soup that is good to him. Sister, Sister Mu.
Pushing his younger son away, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at his older sons, chuckled and waved his hands and said, "We are really old now..."
While talking, Zhu Yuanzhang was about to sit down on the stool next to him.
Standing next to him, King Zhu Zhu of Zhou and King Zhu Zhen of Chu stepped forward at the same time and carefully helped the old man sit down.
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted his two sons' arms, and said with a smile: "We, now we are thinking that we can see these little boys early and add groups of great-grandchildren to our family!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the grandsons of the Ming emperors present.
Because there were so many emperors and grandchildren, Zhu Yuanzhang reached the end with a smile and pride that could not be contained on his face.
Spreading branches and leaves is also a great honor for the emperor.
The fifth-oldest King of Zhou, Zhu Zhu, smiled silently, bent down and said, "Just relax, you will have countless great-grandchildren born in a few years."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "I can't wait. How many more years can we wait at our age? Yunxi is fifteen this year, and he got married when he was sixteen, and the same is true for you people. Wait until next year. I want him to get married to a girl from the Tang family, so that we can have a big, fat grandson the year after next!"
Zhu Yunxi, who had drunk three full jars of wine, felt that there was a whirlpool in his head, which was constantly accelerating. If it were not for Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi supporting him on the left and right, I am afraid that he would have to fight with the three of them this time. My uncle and my fourth uncle were lying on the ground together.
Hearing that the old man hoped that he would get married next year, he couldn't help but burp.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked over with disgust on his face, pointed at Zhu Yunxi, and said to Zhu Xi and others: "You see, you are so old, but you are still not formal. Only when you get married can you grow up and be stable. "
King Zhu Zhen of Chu glanced at his eldest nephew who was dizzy, and said with a smile: "Brother He is already very good now, but my boy can't compare with him at all. What Brother He can do now, he is already capable." Please help me with the affairs of the Ming Dynasty."
As Zhu Zhen spoke, all the princes and princes present nodded in agreement.
Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu, who was standing next to the old man, silently glanced at Zhu Biao who was sitting in the wheelchair. Seeing that the boss kept his head lowered, as if he was trying to count the pieces of the wine jars on the ground, he immediately coughed lightly.
Zhu Biao raised his head with confusion, looked at Lao Wu who was winking at him, and frowned slightly.
Zhu Rui was already smiling and said: "The eldest brother has given birth to a good son! In a few years, the eldest brother will also be a grandfather."
Zhu Biao just shook his head silently and chuckled twice.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Very good, very good. I have been doing random things all day long and cleaning up useless things. You are all this boy's uncles and elders. If you hadn't been helping me, you had given this boy the confidence." , can he do this?"
The old man was probably a little drunk, and his eyes were starting to become blurry.
However, after being told something, Zhu Ru silently laughed a few times.
Zhu Zhen was already nodding his head and said: "Brother Xi is the son of the eldest brother and your eldest grandson. But he is also our eldest nephew. If we uncles don't help our own nephews, how can we help outsiders? ?”
"That is absolutely impossible!" Zhu Zhu also echoed and said.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes suddenly widened, and when he was about to raise his head, Zhu Gaochi beside him reached out from behind and pushed him down.
Then, Zhu Gaochi's voice came from his ears: "You are still drunk!"
Zhu Shangbing on the other side looked up at Zhu Gaochi.
Seeing Zhu Gaochi nod and wink at him, Zhu Shangbing opened his mouth silently, and the shape of his mouth made it clear.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already put his hands on the table, holding his cheeks with his palms: "We are very happy that you are back in Beijing now. How many years has it been since our family has been so lively?"
Zhu Zhu and Zhu Zhen nodded immediately: "My sons are even more happy to be able to gather at your knees with their brothers and show their filial piety."
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his other hand and patted Zhu Xi's arm: "You guys, I really want to thank this bastard Yunxi. It was he who patted his chest in front of us to guarantee that he made it possible for you to go home. Something.”
Everyone could not help but look at Zhu Yunxi who had his head lowered, but they did not expect that it was this nephew who could return to Beijing at the same time this year.
The smile on Zhu Xi's face became even brighter: "So my son also said that Brother Xi is becoming more and more capable now, and he looks more and more like you and the eldest brother."
Zhu Yuanzhang was completely drunk at this time.
The outstretched hand began to waver, as if he wanted to pat the son beside him, but failed to do so.
Just listen to him muttering: "I still need you uncles to help me more... I need to help you more..."
The night was slightly cool, and a gust of night wind blew.
Zhu Yuanzhang's words spread throughout the palace.
Zhu Biao finally waved to the outside and said softly: "The old man was drunk today. He should be sent back to bed."
Everyone gave up their seats, and Sun Gouer, who was waiting outside, led someone to carry the old man to the palace.
Zhu Biao said again: "For those of you who haven't drunk much, go over and wait for your father to go to bed."
He called out the names of a few younger princes who had not yet ascended the throne, and immediately nodded and followed them.
At this time, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yunxi who was being held by Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi.
He frowned slightly, then glanced at his two nephews gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work, please send him back to the East Palace."
Zhu Shangbing and Zhu Gaochi nodded silently, and did not want to be served by the palace attendants who came over. They carried Zhu Yunxi all the way out of the palace garden.
After waiting for the concubines, princesses, and little girls in the palace to disperse.
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Ku and Zhu Di who were lying on the ground and snoring loudly. His legs, which had gradually gained some strength, kicked them gently.
"We're all gone, how long can we keep pretending?"
There was a sound of rubble, and Zhu Ku and Zhu Di got up numbly. Probably because they got up too hard, their heads felt dizzy, and they each put their hands on the shoulders of the brothers next to them.
Only then did Zhu Biao look at the brothers beside him. He chuckled and shook his head: "The old man drank too much, so some words cannot be taken seriously."
Everyone nodded.
Zhu Ku burped: "That boy Yunxi is really good at drinking!"
Zhu Biao immediately looked over calmly and cast a look.
Zhu Ku, who had just burped, immediately shook his head and let out another long burp, then silently lowered his head.
Zhu Di said with some big tongue: "Whether the old man drinks too much or not, things in our family should be like this. It's just a matter of time. We are all brothers here. Everyone knows it and they never say anything about it."
This is almost a public expression of his feelings.
Whether the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty abdicates or waits until the day when Yuji dies, the candidate for the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty will never change.
Zhu Biao still smiled and shook his head, and then sighed softly: "The old man has something he said rightly..."
As he said that, he patted his legs and looked at the brothers present: "Our legs will never be as good as before. If the heel is no longer good, it will probably be like a tree that has lost its roots. In the long run, No. So in the future, if...Yunxi, that child, really wants your help, it can be regarded as an excuse for me to ask you now."
As soon as Zhu Biao said this, the eyes of everyone present turned red.
Zhu Ku, who was originally glared at, raised his head directly, his eyes filled with crystal clear eyes, and shouted: "Brother Shoubinanshan! We were brought up by you and taught by you. We will do whatever you ask us to do." What!"
Zhu Di said calmly: "If someone says something bad in the future, my brother will go back to Beijing in person to ask who said it!"
Zhu Biao's eyes were also a little red, but he was able to control them very well. After taking a deep breath, he said: "This time when you return to the capital, you can follow Yunxi's ideas and combine the food and food that the father has given you over the years. When you take out the fiefdom, you have this brother in your heart."
Chu King Zhu Zhen immediately waved his hand and said: "It's just a tax on a few acres of land. If it's a little less, it's not like we can't make a living at home. The court always needs money. The more land it rewards, the less money the court will have. We You can see it clearly, and you can see it clearly. You can't ask me, brother, to ask those officials for money in the future. That's not something we, the Zhu family, can do."
Zhu Biao sighed quietly: "I only hope that future generations will not blame us for treating them harshly."
There has never been a time when the clan of any dynasty had to pay taxes to the court.
The Ming Dynasty is now considered to have launched its first innovation.
As soon as Zhu Biao said this, everyone shook their heads.
He just smiled, then put away his worries, smiled and said: "You haven't drunk too much, have you?"
"This is some wine? How many more bottles can we drink!"
"Brother really looks down on us as younger brothers!"
"The third brother and the fourth brother may be guilty, but we will definitely not be guilty."
"Hahaha, third brother and fourth brother will have to bear the reputation of being no match for Brother Hei from now on!"
"Presumptuous! Do you deserve a beating?"
"Boy, are you itchy?"
For a time, the palace was very lively.
Zhu Biao quietly felt the long-lost brotherhood, and suddenly said: "Since you are not drunk, will you accompany us to stroll around the palace?"
Zhu Di was the first to raise his eyebrows: "I'm going to see if the things hidden under the palace wall are still there!"
"Let's go! I wonder what the tree I planted back then will look like now."
"Bring the wine!"
"No one can run away tonight!"
"Brother needs to drink less now, so I will take care of your share!"
"How brave. Let's get on the roof of Huangji Palace later and try again!"
A group of people gathered around a wheelchair.
Under the wild moonlight, long shadows were drawn.
The palace ladies everywhere were holding lanterns, emitting little bits of light like stars.
The light gathers and disperses in the northeast corner of Yingtian City, constantly flowing like water, but always indivisible.
