(It’s slightly watery, so you can take a bath!)
Although the wind and rain stopped, the sky was still a bit hazy.
In the imperial garden, those flowers and plants that were so colorful in the spring were dilapidated after the wind and rain.
In Fengtian Hall, only the grandfather and grandson were chatting.
"Grandpa Huang, how come you suddenly thought of sending your grandson back to his hometown to worship his ancestors?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.
"You are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the eldest son and grandson of our Zhu family. You have never been back to Fengyang since you were born. Now that you are married, you naturally have to go back to pay homage!" The old man was leaning on the recliner with his eyes closed and seemed to be taking a nap.
Same, he said with a smile, "Go see your ancestors and let them see you. Say a few words in front of the ancestors' graves and see the hometown of our Zhu family. People, you have to know where you come from and what your background is, so that you can't help yourself."
Forgot your roots!”
"It's just!" Zhu Yunxi said tentatively, "This is too urgent. You suddenly issued an order, and my grandson is not ready yet!"
"What are you ready for? Li Jinglong will lead the military guards in front of the palace, and your East Palace officers will accompany him. You can just follow. What are you preparing for?" The old man said with a smile, "Don't you always think about leaving the palace? Go ahead, just play it.
!" As he said that, he suddenly opened his eyes, "But when you worship the mountain, you must be sincere!"
Seeing that the tea cup next to the old man was empty, Zhu Yunxi filled it up and said with a smile, "Grandpa, are you doing something? You think your grandson is an eyesore and you want to get rid of him?"
The old man turned his head, looked at Zhu Yunxi for a moment, and then laughed, "You are so clever, I can't hide it from you!" As he said that, he pulled the blanket on his knees, "It's not that you are an eyesore, but I don't want you to pay for unnecessary things.
Heart!"
Meaningless things?
The initial website address is https://m.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Then, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxi again and said softly, "Go, grandpa is doing this for your own good! Be obedient!"
Although he was suspicious, the old man had already reached this point, and Zhu Yunxi couldn't break the pot and ask the truth.
The next day, the emperor's grandson drove out of the capital. Cao Guogong Li Jinglong led 3,000 palace front troops, and Fu asked Zhang Fu to lead 1,500 East Palace guards. There were also ten East Palace officials, 300 palace residents, and 50 Jinyi school captains.
The mighty procession slowly left the city, with soldiers and civilians bowing to pay their respects along the way.
In Zhu Yunxi's huge carriage, he was giving instructions to He Guangyi.
"I left the capital this time and left the Liao brothers in the capital. If something happens in Jing, go tell the two brothers and they will report it to Yu Gu immediately!"
He Guangyi sat on the horse, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will repay you truthfully no matter how big or small the matter is!"
"Last time you said that Jiang Yu was doing something behind his back, what has he done recently?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask.
He Guangyi thought for a while, "Jiang Zhenfu has been very busy recently, and he has become more and more cautious in his actions. I am incompetent and couldn't find out anything!" He said with some shame, "Your Highness, Jin Yiwei is not of the same mind, and their factions are not the same.
Lin Li......"
"Jiang Gu is a scumbag, what kind of good soldiers can he bring out?" Zhu Yunxi sneered, "Where is Zhan Hui?"
"In addition to going to court, Zhan Butang also goes home. He is very peaceful! A few days ago, the son of the Zhan family participated in a poetry meeting, and Zhan Butang had some family troubles!"
Zhu Yunxi frowned and thought, Zhan Hui's matter must not be that simple. The more honest he is, the more it proves that there is something wrong in his heart.
"Keep staring!" Zhu Yunxi whispered, "See if you can go to his house... and check his dealings with foreign officials!"
"I'll do it now!" He Guangyi did not hesitate.
Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction. What he liked best was He Guangyi who didn't talk much and did whatever he was asked to do immediately, and he also had the attitude and ability to do it well.
"I heard that you have a legitimate son?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.
A smile suddenly appeared on He Guangyi's face. He had a few wives and concubines, but he didn't know if he killed too many people to commit evil, and all of them were daughters. He had thought of taking in a few more concubines, but who thought about his own wife?
Shengwei got pregnant and gave birth to a fat, white son.
"My nickname is Gou Shengzi!" He Guangyi said with a smile, "My mother gave it to me because she said it's easy to make a living with a low life!"
Zhu Yunxi casually took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it over, "A meeting gift for the child!"
"I don't dare accept this, it's too precious!" He Guangyi quickly knelt down. The jade pendants on Zhu Yunxi's body were all dragon-patterned pendants. How dare he accept them!
"Keep it and leave it at home. If the child has trouble in the future, take this jade pendant to find an orphan and ask him to help him!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Your Highness!" He Guangyi choked out in an instant.
When the emperor's grandson said this, it was like giving his son a gold medal to avoid death. Not to mention glory and wealth, as long as his son did not commit extremely evil crimes in the future, no one could touch him.
"Both your father and brother died for the country. Your father is still the adopted son of the old man. Although your surname is He, you and the orphan are one family. You serve the orphan. In the future, your son can serve the orphan. We, the king and the ministers,
, Every generation has a beginning and an end!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Dong Dong, He Guangyi kowtowed, then raised his head with tears streaming down his face, "My lord, how lucky you are! Your Highness's kindness is so great that I can't repay it!"
"Doing things well is a reward for the orphan!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
At this time, Wang Shai said softly outside the carriage, "Your Highness, we are about to cross the river!"
"Go and do your work!" Zhu Yunxi said to He Guangyi in the carriage, "Do your business well!"
"My lord, please remember this!"
The capital of Fengyang is in Huaixi. After crossing the river, we first went to Chuzhou and went up the road to Dingyuan and other places. In the original Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, Fengyang was named Haozhou, and there was Zhongli City Gujiazhuang in Haozhou, which was the hometown of the old Zhu family.
Haozhou was also the place where the war broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the world followed Liu Futong and Xu Shouhui and raised the flag of righteousness. Guo Zixing, a native of Dingyuan, led thousands of people to capture Haozhou and became the leader of the army.
When he was young, Zhu Yuanzhang was invited by Guo Zixing's young companion Tang He from the cavalry team Qianhu to go down the mountain from Huangjue Temple to participate in the rebel army's southern and northern campaigns.
Although Haozhou can be regarded as the hometown of the Zhu family, Chuzhou is the most special to the Zhu family. This is because it was the first state city that Zhu Yuanzhang built when he left Guo Zixing to stand on his own. The troops quickly expanded to tens of thousands, and heroes from all walks of life joined them.
Come and vote.
Chuzhou was the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang’s fame!
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the old man often lamented that it was not easy to start a business. He also lamented that his hometown elders lost too much money when they rebelled. At the beginning of the rebellion, they were all bandits, and the people of Huaixi were ruined.
Therefore, after the founding of the country, no matter how difficult it was for the court, places such as Haozhou, Dingyuan, Chuzhou, and Hezhou reduced taxes almost every year, just to make up for the deficit of the year.
However, because the heroes who started the business with the old man were all from this area, their public lands and fiefdoms were all nearby. In the early years of the dynasty, many people were killed, and later the old man ruthlessly killed several groups.
Only then did these people restrain themselves.
The city wall was right in front of us. The prefect of Chuzhou Prefecture, together with all the city officials and the famous gentry and noble families, came out of the city to kneel down to greet us.
"Your Highness!" Wang Shai said outside Zhu Yunxi's carriage, "Marquis Fengxiang and his children and grandchildren are here to welcome you!"
Zhang Long, the Marquis of Fengxiang, was a native of Haozhou, Huaixi Province. He joined the army for the first time and served under the old man. He was the leader of thousands of families. Huaqiang was not just a trickster, but a spearman with a long spear, a warrior on the front line of the army.
He followed the old man in battles all his life and was highly regarded. His son was the consort of Princess Fuqing, Zhu Yunxi's aunt.
Zhang Long is also a rare smart man in the army. After he became famous, he put down his power and took the initiative to retire and return to his hometown. Moreover, when the meritorious servicemen gathered in Fengyang's hometown to select public land, he settled in Chuzhou, not far from his hometown. He won the respect of the old man.
Happy.
"Stop!" Zhu Yunxi ordered in the carriage, "I want to go and see the old Marquis!"
"I see His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, Your Highness is a thousand years old!"
The carriage of the advancing Emperor Taisun suddenly stopped, and then several palace officials set up stairs beside the carriage. Zhu Yunxi, wearing a golden dragon robe, walked down slowly with a smile.
In front of the city gate of Chuzhou, hundreds of officials and gentry all kowtowed and called him a thousand years old.
"Old Marquis, please get up quickly!"
At the front of the group of people picking up the driver was an old man with gray hair, a cane in hand, and a man's uniform. It looked like he was Zhang Long. Zhu Yunxi strode forward with a smile and helped him up.
However, Zhang Long did not get up. Instead, he grinned, showing his almost fallen teeth, and said, "Your Highness is considerate of the old minister, but the old minister cannot be disrespectful!" After saying that, he kowtowed respectfully before being supported by his children and grandchildren.
Get up.
Zhang Long is several years older than the old man and is already very old.
"Old Marquis, your body and bones are fine!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Okay!" Zhang Long's voice was loud and he said with a smile, "How can it be bad to live a life of glory and wealth? I am not afraid of His Highness's jokes. I am now afraid of death and just want to live a beautiful life for a few more years! Drink and eat meat. Look.
Look at Belle, haha!"
As people grow older, the shrewdness of this old marquis makes people not feel disgusted, but makes them feel more close to him.
"Old Marquis, I'm going to bother you tonight, how about I live in your house?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile. Zhang Long's son, Prince Consort Zhang Lin, is the treasurer of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and controls the military supplies of the Beijing camp.
"Good boy!" Zhang Long grinned, "This is a good thing that I can't even ask for!" As he said that, he suddenly picked up his crutch and gave the children and grandchildren next to him a few violent swats, "Deaf man? Why don't you go back and take care of yourself?
At home, ah! Those vixens and vixens are all hiding in the house, don’t taint His Highness’s eyes! Prepare good wine and delicious food!”
The children and grandchildren of the Zhang family were beaten so hard that they ran away with their heads in their hands. The old Marquis turned his head again and said with a smile, "Your Highness, are you doing well?"
"Everything is going well with Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Sometimes, he really misses you old buddies!"
"I also miss the emperor, but my legs are really not up to par!" Zhang Long said with a bitter face, "Look, I also lost several of my teeth last year!"
This old man is really interesting!
Zhu Yunxi smiled in his heart, and then he slowly entered the city surrounded by everyone.
Chuzhou is a mountain city, and its city walls are made of bluestone, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"I heard that Grandpa Huang personally attacked and conquered this city back then!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the city wall and spoke slowly.
"That's right!" Zhang Long, the old marquis, followed Zhu Yunxi with a loud voice, "When the emperor stopped messing with his Guo family, he took his ministers and twenty other people with him when he left Haozhou...
...!”
The twenty-four generals of Huaixi are all from Huaixi!
"I conquered 20,000 Tsing Yi troops in Dingyuan, and destroyed the Donkey Village. There were too many people, there was no food to eat, and there wasn't even enough sleeping space. I had no choice but to slap Chuzhou on the thigh!"
Speaking of the past, Zhang Long's eyebrows were filled with excitement, "The defenders of Chuzhou were so powerful that more than a thousand people died before they could capture it. Seeing that the morale of the troops was gone, your grandfather... the emperor directly took the first place with a knife."
Come on, the ministers and others are not hesitant, they scream and go up!"
It is sometimes a pleasure to listen to old people telling stories about the past.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Were you not afraid of death at that time?"
"You don't have time to think about that! The other side will kill you with a fucking knife! It's all for fear later!" Old Marquis laughed, "Besides, it's okay to be afraid of death! Old Emperor and we are fellow villagers! He is our eldest brother.
! We are the leader! Grandma, I will be scared by then, and my spine will be poked crooked! "
