The gentle spring breeze seems to express concern, the continuous spring rain seems to convey longing, and the bright spring scenery expresses infinite hope.

Thousands of pear trees are blooming, and suddenly the spring breeze comes overnight.

With such a beautiful scenery, Zhu Yi fell asleep in bed. In the afternoon of the second day, Zhu Yi woke up from hunger.

After sleeping for so long, I feel full of energy.

The first thing he does when he wakes up is not eat.

Instead, he went to Chen Ying to ask about Xiao Taohong and others.

But he was told that Ning Guogong accompanied his Majesty to the Drum Tower and the residence of Emperor Taizu Gao, which was not in the temporary official residence of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

Hearing that Ning Guogong was not here, Zhu Yi wanted to find Xiao Taohong and others in the small courtyard where Chen Ying lived, and take a few away first.

In fact, Zhu Yi was very angry. This was all the family wealth left by his father. Let alone an uncle who was not related by blood, even if he was a biological uncle, he couldn't take all of it.

However, Chen Ying had already made arrangements.

Zhu Yi searched for half an hour in the yard, but couldn't find a female. She knew in her heart that Uncle Chen probably hid them all.

At the moment, I had no choice but to return to my residence and have something to eat.

Although he didn't say anything unpleasant with his mouth, Chen Ying's arrangement had already been changed beyond recognition in his heart.

"Hmph, after meeting Mr. Ning Guo, I will definitely let him know why the flowers are so red. If you take them without complaining, you are a thief. What happened to the elders and what happened to Mr. Ning Guo? You can't do things like this. Look how miserable you are. , when I came back from a trip to the sea, not only was my father gone, but so many beautiful women were also gone. The "little mother" I had missed for many years was all played by Ning Guogong. "

"This old man is dishonest. He acts aloof every day, and his writings are all fake. Why should he take possession of our old Zhu family's things? If my father knew about this, the coffin board would definitely not be able to cover it."

"No, I can't suffer the consequences of being dumb. As a son, I must get back all the "property" that my father left to his children and grandchildren. This lawsuit will be fought even if it comes to His Majesty."

Of course, this was what Zhu Yi was thinking. He would never dare to say anything unpleasant in front of Chen Ying.

Zhu Yi went to the kitchen, ate something, and then fell asleep again, thinking that after dark, she would go to her uncle to "visit" and "settle accounts."

Although Chen Ying did not resist the temptation, he had strong self-control. After so many years, he was as proficient as ever in bowing, horse riding, and shooting, and his body and bones were also very strong. If Zhu Yi had taken over so many tasks as soon as he came back, Woman, I guess the grass on the grave is now as tall as a person.

During the few days the emperor was in Fengyang, his schedule was very full.

Because this is Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, the place where the poor cowherd boy lived many years ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang had been herding cattle for the rich man's family since he was a child, and there were many thieves wherever he went.

The emperor wanted to revisit the places where his ancestors had been.

He first went to the home of Taizu Emperor Gao.

The dilapidated little courtyard many years ago is now surrounded by a huge royal forest.

In the middle of the luxurious and majestic forest garden, the dilapidated ruins still exist.

Zhu Jianshen stayed alone in the small courtyard where Zhu Yuanzhang lived for half an hour.

The old tree in the yard has long since died and has been artificially fixed to the ground with ropes... It seems that only by this method can the old tree in Taizu Emperor Gao's heart exist forever...

Then Zhu Jianshen went to the hillside of Beidi again.

The grass there is still green, but the carefree cowherd holding a bullwhip is missing...

Zhu Jianshen enjoyed this kind of pilgrimage very much.

Blow the wind he blew, walk the road he walked, is this a different kind of encounter...

Because these places were confirmed by Emperor Taizu Gao, there is almost no error.

The edge of the hillside was full of guards and soldiers, and officials watched from a distance as His Majesty the Emperor walked deeper into the grass.

On the grass, Zhu Jianshen saw a bumpy stone, which was extremely smooth. He walked up to it with a smile, then put away his smile and sat on it with a solemn expression.

Zhu Yuanzhang might have been sitting on this stone when he was a child, watching the two cow heads he put away from a distance.

The cow eats grass and he sleeps. Maybe in his dream, he also encountered beautiful things...

Zhu Jianshen sat on the stone and looked around, feeling a different kind of emotion in his heart.

Although Zhu Jianshen thought about bits and pieces of his previous life from time to time, deep down in his heart, he had long regarded himself as a descendant of the Zhu family, because his face looked more and more like his father's face...

After a while, Zhu Jianshen closed his eyes, feeling the boundless spring breeze, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "I hope that Grandpa Taizu will bless me for an easier journey, and bless my Ming Dynasty, peace and prosperity, and that my descendants will have changes. If the great changes that have not happened in a century are successful, it will keep China strong for five hundred years and make our nation stand out from the rest..."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen paused, and then continued: "Whether the Ming Dynasty can survive for five hundred years, it all depends on God's will."

The three-hundred-year dynasty is a strange circle in history.

What Zhu Jianshen has to do now is to change his thinking and make arrangements in advance. He will make the entire nation full of fighting power, and after paying a certain price, he will harvest the wealth of the entire world.

But he was not sure whether the three-hundred-year curse could be broken. Now that he had come to the place where Zhu Yuanzhang lived, as a descendant of the Zhu family, he had to tell the truth at this time.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jianshen opened his eyes, then looked to the horizon and smiled...

After leaving the hillside, Zhu Jianshen went to the Drum Tower again, followed by Chen Ying, Duke of Ning, Shi Jing who stayed behind in Fengyang, and Zhan Yang, deputy envoy of the Southern Inspection, and several others.

Since it is the central capital, of course it has something to offer. This Drum Tower has the inscription "the foundation of all ages". These four words already represent what Fengyang means to the Ming Dynasty.

The scale of this Drum Tower was unmatched by the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Because it is so huge and spectacular, with a platform base of 72 meters long, 35 meters wide and 15 meters high, the Drum Tower can fully bear the four characters "Eternal Fund".

Because such a huge foundation is not easy to demolish, even if the Drum Tower was destroyed several times, it could still be repaired and rebuilt. In Fengyang Imperial City, when the imperial mausoleum was burned to the ground, the Drum Tower still existed, allowing it to be remembered for hundreds of years in later generations. The tenacious survival of the vicissitudes of the years has become the greatest legacy left by Ming Taizu to the people of his hometown.

"The foundation of all times, Minister Zhan..."

"I'm here..."

"Among us, you are the most famous and the most educated. Tell me about these four words."

After hearing this, Zhan Yang nodded in agreement, and then looked at the four characters "Eternal Life" on the Drum Tower.

"Your Majesty, these four words were written by Emperor Taizu Gao himself in the first year of Hongwu and handed over to craftsmen for completion. Fengyang is the place where Emperor Taizu Gao prospered, such as Qi and Bin of Zhou Dynasty, and the prosperity of Han Dynasty. In the third year of Hongwu In the year, it was built as the central capital... It has been the foundation of the country for thousands of generations. The hometown of Taizu Longfei, the foundation of the holy dynasty, the foundation of the country's spirit for hundreds of millions of years, is an extraordinary city comparable to Longxing. This place is also where the imperial mausoleum is located, and is the foundation of the clan for thousands of years. Therefore, it is the foundation of the country for all generations. It is the same as the eternal, but more magnificent than the eternal." Zhan Yang said eloquently.

Chen Ying and Shi Jing both looked at Zhan Yang, their eyes full of envy. If the emperor asked them both, just one sentence, because our great ancestor was born here, he is the foundation of all generations. There is no way he can talk about so many things. The words of tiger and wolf.

After Zhu Jianshen listened, he nodded with satisfaction: "When my princes grow up, I will also send them here to guard the imperial mausoleum for three months, and warn them not to forget the hard-won inheritance of our ancestors..."

"Your Majesty is wise..."
