"Grandpa Huang, you haven't eaten yet, and my grandson specially asked someone to cook a bowl of hot noodle soup!"
Zhu Yunxi carefully held the hot soup noodles and slowly came to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Under the candlelight, the latter hid his face in the darkness and wiped it twice with his big old hands with age spots.
"How do you know we haven't eaten?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bowl of noodles and said quietly.
"My grandson thinks, you will definitely not be able to eat today!"
Zhu Yunxi turned over the noodles with chopsticks, and the aroma of hot air suddenly hit his nostrils, "You came here this morning, and you have to go back to deal with political affairs. The mess that our Ming Dynasty inherited from Meng Yuan is all on Grandpa Huang." As he said that, Zhu Yunxi turned over the noodles with chopsticks.
Pushing the bowl, he said, "When my father was alive, he would sigh every night and say that Grandpa Huang worked too hard!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were sore and he almost cried again.
What a good boy! What a good boy! None of my grandchildren has such a thoughtful child!
What can I eat today?
The Ming Dynasty is full of waste and is waiting to be revived. How dare you slack off even a little bit?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said, "Take it down, we are not hungry!"
Remember the URL m.wxsy．
"Eat something even if you're not hungry!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said sincerely, "In the morning, you told your grandson that you should cherish yourself and live well. This is true filial piety! You cherish your body and live well, which is also for our children and grandchildren.
The greatest favor!”
As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi took out another pair of chopsticks and said, "My father's coffin is here, and his spirit is still alive. I'm sure he will be happy to see us two eating and drinking!"
"Xie'er!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion, "You have really grown up!"
As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and forced a smile, "We and I ate this bowl of noodles together. We both cherish our bodies and live well!"
This bowl of noodles was really made by Zhu Yunxi. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor family and liked to eat flavorful things like ginger and garlic when he was eating. He said it was good with rice.
The heat of the hot noodle soup enveloped the faces of the grandfather and grandson.
As they ate, both of them felt their eyes getting a little hot and kept wiping their eye sockets.
The deceased are gone, but the living are still alive. Sadness can only make the soul in heaven unsteady. Etiquette is for the living, but sincerity and sincerity are for the deceased.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Zhu Yunxi picked up the bowl, drank the hot soup in big gulps, and then used chopsticks to stir it a few times to bring the ginger and garlic residue inside to his mouth.
"Why did you eat all the scum?" Zhu Yuanzhang casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Aren't you full? Go ahead and eat if you're not full!"
Zhu Yunxi put down the bowl, followed his grandfather's example, and wiped his mouth with his sleeves, "One porridge and one meal, think of it as hard-earned. Half a thread, half a thread, constant thoughts of financial difficulties!" He started to put away the bowls and chopsticks, "Father,
I used to teach my grandson that it is not easy for the people in the world to support us, so we must cherish food and cherish the people's power."
Picking up the bowl, Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "But my grandson is naughty and has to cook soup for every meal. He is so extravagant and wasteful. He is really the biggest bastard in the Zhu family!"
"Wait!" Just when Zhu Yunxi turned around, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped him thoughtfully, "One porridge and one meal should be remembered as hard-earned, half a thread, half a thread, constant thoughts and material resources are difficult!" After reciting,
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said, "Where did you learn this?"
Is there no Zhu Xi family instruction at this time?
Zhu Yunxi's words really spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
He was born in a poor family, and his ancestors have been honest farmers for generations. However, he has been working diligently for a year, but he can't even get a decent meal. If there is a natural disaster, the whole family will starve, and they will be looked down upon when they go out to escape famine.
.
From a peasant boy to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang never forgot the hardships of the people. As an emperor, extravagance and waste were inevitable due to etiquette, but there was nothing he could do about it.
This simple sentence exemplifies the ethics and duties a man should have.
Zhu Yunxi's thoughts turned around and he said seriously, "My grandson is inspired by this!"
"You...come here, come to us!"
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Yunxi put down his bowls and chopsticks, squatted in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and looked up.
"Xie'er, tell us, was that stupid and naughty look in the past just a pretense?" In the dimly lit hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were frighteningly bright, as if he had looked into Zhu Yunxi's heart.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and whispered, "Yes!"
"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice.
"Grandson!" Zhu Yunxi looked up again, his eyes flashing with tears again, "Grandson is scared!"
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked loudly.
Then, Zhu Yunxi didn't need to answer, he already understood.
What can you be afraid of? Just hide your clumsiness!
A legitimate son, a legitimate son who has lost his mother, how can he live this life without any brothers or mother in the deep palace?
The bad thing is that he is a legitimate son, the bad thing is that he has a noble status. There are countless pairs of eyes in the palace secretly watching him, waiting to plot against him. If he is not careful as a young man, he will lose all his sharpness.
Hiding it will inevitably become a thorn in others' eyes.
He is the crown prince's legitimate son and the emperor's legitimate grandson!
But immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little angry again.
"You bastard, you should be beaten!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his palm, held back, and pointed at Zhu Yunxi, "Your father is the prince and your grandfather is the emperor. Who are you afraid of? If you have any grievances, won't you tell me?"
Are you not afraid now?"
"My grandson deserves a slap!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly slapped himself, very loudly, "My grandson is the biggest fool in the world! My grandson has failed his father, and he has also failed his grandfather. As a son of man, he cannot be sincere.
, is the greatest form of unfilial piety. As an emperor’s grandson, it is disloyal to not be able to share the worries of your father and ancestors! My grandson, for your ridiculous little thoughts, you have become an unfaithful and unfilial person!”
Seeing Zhu Yunxi in front of him speaking clearly and quoting scriptures, the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart turned into pity and regret.
You should take a closer look at this kid earlier. He is only fourteen years old. He has such forbearance and scheming. He is so knowledgeable and intelligent. Even a person who has read poetry and books may not be able to say these things.
come out.
What a good seedling! Based on the saying that a porridge and a meal were hard-won at that time, this child is the thousand-mile horse of my Zhu family!
Zhu Yunxi wiped his eyes, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely, and said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson is not afraid now!"
"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"There are two mountains behind my grandson, one is my father and the other is you!" Zhu Yunxi said slowly, "My father has left, and you are the only one left. My grandson has already failed his father, and he can no longer fail you!" As he said this, a kind of
An unprecedented fortitude bloomed on his face.
In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see himself who had just ascended the throne as emperor.
"I am your legitimate grandson, the legitimate son of the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince. If I continue to be ignorant, I will be afraid of even the tricks of the deep palace. If I continue to be a naughty and stupid man, if I continue to be timid and afraid to show myself
.”
"Then I am not worthy to be your direct grandson, let alone the surname Zhu!"
"Good boy!" Zhu Yuanzhang put his big hand on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, and finally showed a real smile on his face, "A good man should be high-spirited, and now you are like our good grandson!" After saying that, he looked back and lay quietly.
In the coffin in the main hall, "He is your father's good son!"
Outside Fengan Hall, Mrs. Lu looked inside anxiously, but did not dare to step forward.
When grandma came to report just now, Zhu Yunxi came in holding a bowl of noodles.
The emperor was sad and didn't want to be disturbed. Wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he went in?
Who would have known that after he entered, he never came out, and there were still faint voices coming from the hall.
What did he say to the emperor? What was the emperor saying to him? Why did they talk for so long?
Lu's heart felt as if there was a stone pressing down on her, making her unable to breathe.
"The emperor's love for that boy today is the first among all princes, princes, and grandsons. What happened to this boy that made the emperor treat him so well?"
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu looked at Zhu Yunwen beside her, who was also looking at the hall.
"Son, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Yunwen still looked over there, "My son is wondering, did the third child pretend to be stupid before?"
A word to wake up the dreamer! Lu suddenly became a little awakened and immediately became wary.
Third child, I must have been pretending before, otherwise how could I suddenly have changed as a different person!
Why is he pretending?
Could it be that he has been guarding against us?
If this is really the case, I am afraid that I will be known as a jealous woman to the emperor!
Think about the emperor's temperament again. If he is really regarded as a jealous wife, what will be the future of his son?
"Son, your imperial grandfather may be thirsty after staying in there for so long!" Lu said with a sullen face, "Bring a cup of hot tea in and ask your imperial grandfather to warm himself up!" As he said that, Lu came closer and said,
Lowering his voice, "You will cry when you go in..."
She was talking, and Zhu Yunwen was listening carefully.
But just as he was talking, Zhu Yuanzhang came out slowly with the support of Zhu Yunxi.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Grandfather!"
Everyone outside the hall hurriedly saluted. When Mrs. Lu lowered her head, she saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was much less sad, while Zhu Yunxi's face was still expressionless and his expression could not be seen.
"Well!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to the people who were kneeling, and turned back to Zhu Yunxi and said, "You are weak, you must know how to cherish it! It is a good thing to be filial to your father, but it is also unfilial to make yourself sick!"
"My grandson, please remember the teachings of Grandpa Huang!"
"After finishing the funeral, go to the university to study. I'll find you some good masters!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face, "Strict masters produce good disciples. Let's see if you can still pretend in the future!"
"My grandson will never let down the kindness of the emperor again!"
The Great University Hall in the early Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the study room of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, where the princes and grandsons studied.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not of high origin, he attached great importance to the education of his children and grandchildren. When Zhu Biao became the crown prince, he invited the world-famous Confucian scholars Song Lian and others as his teachers.
"Come back, let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered and strode forward.
Somehow, when passing by Lu, Lu felt that the emperor's eyes were a little cold, and her heart suddenly became cold.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
However, as everyone kowtowed, Zhu Yuanzhang's figure suddenly stopped.
Turning back, he looked at Zhu Yunxi solemnly and said, "Pass the message!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's personal secretary came over and listened to the sacred orders and recorded them carefully.
"Zhu Yunxi, the crown prince's legitimate son and my legitimate grandson. He has a noble character and is deeply loved by me. He is quick-thinking, knowledgeable, sincere and filial, strong and perseverant."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said, "Confer Zhu Yunxi the title of King of Wu!"
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"
While everyone was secretly exclaiming, Zhu Yunxi had already knelt down and thanked him with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.
Seeing his mature and steady appearance, which was neither humble nor arrogant, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again.
At a young age, if you don’t take joy in things and don’t take sorrow in yourself, if you can keep calm, you can do a lot!
He didn't know that Zhu Yunxi's heart was already boiling at this moment.
If he hadn't tried his best to control it, all the muscles in his body might have trembled.
Wu, the name of the country before Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne. It has great meaning for the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family.
Among the kings of the Ming Dynasty, he was the most noble.
Now, this crown that countless people covet has fallen on Zhu Yunxi's head.
"King Wu, this is just the beginning!"
Zhu Yunxi said to himself in his heart.
