"Mom, Grandpa Huang asked me to study." Zhu Yunzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This can be considered a relief.
Mrs. Lu glanced outside and whispered: "Xi'er, please don't tell your grandpa the emperor what my mother said to you just now, do you understand?"
Zhu Yunwen also said: "Fourth brother, remember to help the second brother and have a good talk with Grandpa Huang. Don't contradict him."
Zhu Yunzhen said vaguely: "I will not contradict Grandpa Huang."
Then he packed up and went into the palace with the eunuch who came.
"Mom, can fourth brother do it?" Zhu Yunwen asked, looking at Zhu Yunwen's back.
Lu sighed and said nothing, her eyes a little complicated.
…
When Zhu Yunxuan came to the palace, Lao Zhu was sitting in the study in a daze.
He looked very bad, his face was tired, as if he had aged many years.
The white-haired man gives the black-haired man a gift.
Zhu Biao's death was a huge blow to him.
"Grandpa Huang, Er'er is here." Seeing Lao Zhu like this, Zhu Yunzhen took the initiative to say hello.
Seeing Zhu Yunxuan coming, Zhu Yuanzhang had a rare smile on his face.
"Xi'er, have you missed Grandpa Huang?"
Zhu Yunxuan secretly sighed, maybe this can be regarded as "seeing things and thinking about people"?
After adjusting his mentality, Zhu Yunxi took a step forward and took Lao Zhu's hand, saying: "Of course I want to! Grandpa Huang, don't be in a bad mood. From today on, Xu'er will be here to accompany you."
"Hahaha..." Lao Zhu laughed out loud, but there was a bit of sadness in his voice.
"Okay! Okay! My dear grandson!" He came over and took Zhu Yunzhen's hand and said, "Don't rush to study now. Let's go. Grandpa Huang will take you to eat delicious food!"
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"
Following Lao Zhu all the way to the garden, the stone table in the pavilion was already filled with delicacies.
Zhu Yunzhen was already prepared, and his eyes lit up.
Roast pig, squab, roast chicken, clear soup...
There are so many delicious foods, everything is appetizing, and the fragrance is even more mouth-watering.
"How is it, do you like it?" Lao Zhu's voice sounded like an old child.
"I...I like it." Zhu Yunzhen whispered, pretending to be timid.
Lao Zhu boldly took Zhu Yunxuan's hand and said loudly: "Eat as much as you like, come here, Grandpa Huang will accompany you!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yunzhen was not polite.
It’s extremely cold at high places.
The higher the position and the more powerful they are, the more they yearn for the fireworks of ordinary people.
Zhu Yunzhen was no longer reserved, sat on the stone bench and started eating happily.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the edge, but didn't move his chopsticks much.
"Xi'er, is it delicious?"
"Yes." Zhu Yunxi's mouth was full of oil after eating: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, looked deeply into the distance, and murmured: "When Grandpa Huang was young, he never dreamed of having such a meal."
"At that time, the people were in dire straits and it was miserable. It would be good if they didn't starve to death."
"I still remember that year, Grandpa Huang dreamed of eating roast chicken, and his face was drooling, hahaha..."
Having said this, he sighed again and said:
"If Grandpa Huang had food to eat back then, he wouldn't have raised an army to rebel..."
Zhu Yunxuan put down his chopsticks and said, "Grandpa Huang..."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll eat what you have." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "As soon as this person gets older, he always likes to recall things from the past."
"Grandpa Huang," Zhu Yunxuan raised his head and looked at the tall Zhu Yuanzhang, and asked, "Do you have anything to say to Xu'er?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "As expected of our old Zhu's grandson! He is so smart!"
"Ah!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "What Grandpa Huang wants to tell you is that if you don't want to starve like Grandpa Huang did back then, and if you want to have these good things, you must protect the country."
"Only with the country can we have these things. It is the responsibility of my descendants of the Zhu family to protect the country of the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked over.
Zhu Yunzhen said hurriedly: "Grandpa Emperor, don't worry. When I grow up, I will definitely be a good minister, provide advice and suggestions to the emperor, and protect the Ming Dynasty for generations to come."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "Be a good minister?"
"Yes!"
"Why don't you want to sit on your own?" After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Yunxuan.
Zhu Yunzhen's heart "thumped" again.
He met Lao Zhu's gaze and said loudly: "Zhen'er doesn't dare to have any wrong thoughts, and this is not his ambition."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Even if you have no wrong ideas, you can't just offer suggestions, right?"
"Are you going to be on an errand? My Zhu family's world was conquered from horseback!"
"Although the Meng Yuan has driven away, the world has not yet been cleared up, and the Bei Yuan is still watching with eager eyes. How can you have such an idea?"
"Even if you don't become the emperor, wouldn't it be nice to lead troops to fight, conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and establish an immortal reputation?"
Zhu Yunxuan met Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze and said, "That's not possible either."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why not?"
Zhu Yunzhen said: "I am a member of the royal family and am not suitable to hold military power. I can only offer suggestions."
"Grandpa Huang, have you forgotten that in all dynasties, all clan members who were in charge of military affairs would..."
In fact, all the members of the Ming Dynasty clan at this time were in charge of military affairs.
Nine Kings fortify the border!
But having said that, the actual number of troops commanded by the Nine Kings was not very large.
The imperial court also had various restrictions.
There is a huge difference from generals like Xu Da and Chang Yuchun who command the army.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and interrupted impatiently: "You kid, why are you so hopeless? How can you be like us?"
He said angrily: "You said you are so old, why don't you have any ambition?"
"Grandpa Huang, I..."
"Stop talking!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Let me show you someone."
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang winked at the guard next to him and said, "Bring him up!"
Not long after, a trembling eunuch with a pale face was pressed up.
Zhu Yunzhen felt that this eunuch looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Grandpa Huang, he is..."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said: "That day, when your father passed away, Grandpa Huang was talking to you in the room, and he was eavesdropping outside the door."
Zhu Yunzhen was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu directly caught the eunuch who was eavesdropping.
"Zhen'er, what do you think should be done with this person?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked meaningfully.
Zhu Yunzhen knew that he could not answer randomly at this time, so he said: "It all depends on the imperial decree."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded casually and said: "Drag him out and beat him to death with sticks to show the public."
His voice was understated, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
But the eunuch was so frightened that he felt like he had lost his soul. He couldn't say a word and was dragged off.
Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but shudder.
After traveling through time, he has always been a child and has not been exposed to many things.
Only then did I think of the cruelty and ruthlessness of feudal society.
Human life is like grass and worthless.
After the eunuch was dragged away, two more people were left in the pavilion.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the chair and asked: "Xi'er, the emperor has been thinking recently about who should be established as the crown prince?"
"Can you answer Grandpa Huang's question again?"
"You must speak your mind!"
Zhu Yunxuan smiled secretly.
Lao Zhu is indeed a human spirit. The reason why he ordered the eunuch to be killed just now was probably to scare him.
Its purpose is to raise this question?
Zhu Yunwen thought again about what Lu and Zhu Yunwen had just said to him.
He shook his head secretly.
no!
Zhu Yunwen must not be the prince.
Zhu Yunxuan looked at Lao Zhu with a firm gaze and said, "Grandpa Huang, didn't Zhen'er say before, I think the fourth uncle is the most suitable."
"Oh?" Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, "You still think your fourth uncle should be the prince?"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, without explaining the reason, and said firmly: "Anyway, Xuer feels that no one is more suitable to be the prince than his fourth uncle."
Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing more, but took out a painting from his arms.
Zhu Yunxuan asked: "Grandpa Huang, what is this?"
"Come and see." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
Zhu Yunxuan came forward and took one look. He immediately felt his scalp numb and his hairs standing on end.
I saw that in the painting, it was the scene where he was talking to Lu Shi Zhu Yunwen in the room not long ago!
The painter is very good, and with just a few strokes, the painting is already lifelike.
Even Zhu Yunzhen's eating expression was drawn.
Zhu Yunzhen was extremely shocked.
really!
Nothing can be hidden from Lao Zhu!
