132 On the Mind

PreviousBack to directoryNext
In the palace, the old man and Zhu Yunxi were also having breakfast.

Putting aside the complicated and complicated things in the Tian family, in fact, over the years, the life of the old man in the palace and Zhu Yunxi has been like that of ordinary people. Having said that, it seems that there has never been any talk of complicated things in the old man's house.

Suck!

The old man was holding the hot two-meter porridge, putting his lips on the blue and white bowl and sipping it.

Then he picked up a steamed pork and green onion bun that Zhao Ning'er had just steamed in the morning, and took a bite without it being too hot.

Bah chirp, bah chirp.

The old man took two bites and rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi, "It's bland!"

Zhu Yunxi quickly pushed the sweet garlic and sweet and sour cucumber in front of the old man, "Grandpa Huang, if it's light, just order this!"

"This damn thing is sour and sweet, not salty. Didn't you understand when I said it was salty, or were you just pretending to be stupid?" The old man took another bite of the bun and said angrily, "We are getting older, and you are starting to care less about it.

Are you trying to fool us with sweet and sour side dishes?"

Zhu Yunxi, "............"

At this time, Zhao Ning'er brought up a plate of pickled radish with a smile and said with a smile, "Grandfather, please try it. It was just pickled yesterday. I don't know if it tastes good!"

Click!

The old man bit off half of the radish strips as long as his fingers. His nose looked like it was not a nose or an eye, and he suddenly became beaming, "Hey, this is just right. If you eat steamed buns and porridge, you have to eat pickles with it!"

Then he thought for a moment, "Do you have any pickled prunes in the palace? Get some for us tomorrow and mix them in the porridge. That would be great!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yunxi felt enlightened.

The old man has never been picky about his diet. The reason why he often talks about certain things now is because the things he talks about are all things that Queen Ma often cooked for him when she was here.

"Don't worry, my wife will take care of things for you right now!" Zhao Ning'er smiled, turned around and went back to her work.

"If it weren't for the fact that you married a good wife and gave us a great-grandson, huh!" The old man rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi again.

The old man also said this to Zhu Biao back then.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, peeled an egg for the old man, and put it in the old man's porridge bowl, "Grandpa, eat an egg!"

The old man opened his mouth, threw it directly into his mouth, bit off half of it, and drank the porridge smoothly.

"We heard someone say that you are determined to restore your official title to Lan Xiao'er's murderous talent?" the old man asked, wiping his mouth with his big hand.

Although the old man doesn't pay much attention to the big and small affairs of the country now, it doesn't mean that the old man doesn't care about anything. The ministers, and some old ministers, like to talk to the old man when they have nothing to do.

"It's nothing!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Who did you listen to?"

"Don't worry about who said it!" the old man continued, "Huh, we took him down, and we are still alive. What do you think if you bring him up again? Rehabilitate him? You care about him and want to give him an official position.

Then wait until we die!" He said, sighing, "We don't have a damn few days left in this body!"

"Grandpa Huang, you have a strong body!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Don't talk about dying all the time. My grandson will be frightened to hear it!"

"If we don't talk about it now, where will we talk about it after we die!" The old man rolled his eyes at Zhu Xiongying again, "If you don't say anything else, let's just talk about Lan Xiaoer's other crimes. Which of them should he not deserve to die?" After saying that, he paused again.

, "If you are soft-hearted and let him go, what will you do if others make mistakes in the future? National affairs depend on one step and three steps."

"Being an emperor is not about talking about favors!" the old man continued, "nor is it about being flattering."

"Grandson, remember!" Zhu Yunxi responded with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, there is still half an egg left, please eat it quickly!"

"I don't like this stuff, it's tasteless!" The old man ate the pickled radish.

At this time, the old man caught a glimpse of Wang Shai and several eunuchs standing outside the palace.

He waved his chopsticks impatiently and said, "Go on, you are responsible for so many military and national affairs, so don't waste your time on an old man like us!"

"See what you said, I'll have a meal with you..."

"Go away!" the old man scolded, "I'll get angry when I see you!"

Zhu Yunxi also knew something about the old man's temper. When people grow old, they become very stubborn. At the same time, he clearly wants his children and grandchildren to accompany him, but he refuses to show weakness, let alone let his children and grandchildren see his attachment.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi bowing and walking out of the palace, surrounded by eunuchs and guards, the old man sighed slightly.

Then, he took the remaining half egg and ate it in small bites.

Then he pushed away the pickled radish in front of him and used two rice porridge to accompany the sweet, garlic, sweet and sour cucumber and other side dishes.

"I was hoping that you would grow up, but when you grow up, we are about to die!" The old man sighed and said to himself, "When you grow up, we become alone!"

~~

Le Zhizhai, Li Jinglong, Ping'an, Fu Rang, Sheng Yong, Wang De and other generals who participated in the Liaodong War are waiting to be summoned.

Zhu Yunxi came in from outside, and several people stood up and saluted, "I'm waiting..."

"Hey, it's not a court meeting, don't make these false etiquettes!" Zhu Yunxi smiled and refused to let them salute. He took off his big cloak and glanced at him, "Why didn't Duke Ying come?"

Fu Rang quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness, as soon as my father returned to Beijing, he... fell ill!"

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, "Isn't it fine when I entered the city yesterday?" After saying that, he paused and said, "What did the people from Taiyuan Hospital say?"

"My father couldn't take it anymore after he returned home last night. The people at the hospital said that all personnel matters..." Fu Rang's eyes were filled with tears.

"Your Highness, in fact, the old prince has been seriously ill for a long time!" Li Jinglong said in a low voice, "During the war in Liaodong, I just gritted my teeth and held on. After returning to Beijing, I breathed a sigh of relief, and I am not in good condition anymore!"

Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the throne, slightly lost in thought.

Although Fu Youde did not directly support him as other nobles stood beside him before he became the crown prince of the East Palace. But secretly letting his son Fu Rang become Zhu Yunxi's personal guard can explain a lot.

Later, Zhu Yunxi took charge of state affairs, and it was this veteran who handled a lot of matters. He was in charge of several campaigns. When he was stationed in Goryeo, he made sure that no mistakes were made under his rule.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were so many fierce generals that they were indeed several times as powerful as Yuntai and Lingyan Pavilion in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The most brave among them was Chang Yuchun, followed by the Duke of Ying.

It's just that famous generals also wither away. People's birth, old age, illness and death are really unpredictable, and they are often so sudden, without any warning.

Thinking about Lan Yu, who is now hard-boned and still erect, and the old man who is aging in the palace, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.

"Commander Fu has the ability to have an overview of the overall situation in this battle!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the generals in front of him, "I wanted to wait a few more days, when everyone has had enough rest, and then give the reward at the court meeting, but now the old Duke is not in good health.

, please tell me in advance!"

Hearing this, all the generals knelt down. Fu Rang burst into tears. He knew that this should be his father's last honor in this life.

"Grandpa Huang once said that when it comes to the merits of generals, friendship and virtue come first."

Zhu Yunxi said slowly, "In this Liaodong war, Ying Guogong ignored his illness and fought for the country, and his hard work and merits are great. I specially give Ying Guogong a hereditary iron coupon."
