The soft soil covers shallowly in the center of the imperial tomb's top.

In the gaps of the brick wall surrounding the treasure roof, three or five wild grasses grew tenaciously. They had just passed the withered and yellow in winter and were emitting a little spring color, and they were about to be pulled out by Zhu Yun's own hands.

When doing all this, he needed to kneel down and do it carefully in the most pious posture. His pampered body was exhausted under the torture of almost tormented physical work. But he could not slacken at all, except that Zhu Yun's identity as the grandson of the Zhu family was not discussed.

Under the Vajra Wall, there were two historians with escorts, silently recording. Today, any actions of Zhu Yunyu will be written into daily life notes, and may even be written into Ming history in the future.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu's trembling hand stopped. In the gap between the brick wall, he found two wild flowers that had just bloomed, and the petals still had the wind and frost of last night. They were not delicate, beautiful, colorful, and fragrant. But they still tried hard to straighten their branches and stems to face the sun.

It is like many people in this world who are numb by life. Although life is dull, they are still strong, stubborn, and even tenacious. Moreover, they try their best to face the rising sun.

They live hard for the hope that will bloom in the future, perhaps the traces of hope that will eventually bloom.

Stay alive! Work hard!

A smile bloomed on Zhu Yun's sweaty face.

This is an era when the word "filial piety is bigger than that. After two hours, it seemed that the muscles and bones in the body were not my own, so it was only completed.

Zhu Yunyu held the stone steps and moved slowly down.

Below the treasure head, the turtle who had been unable to bear it for a long time quickly stepped forward, supported Zhu Yunxiu, and cried, "Oh, your highness, take a break soon and let me serve you!"

Let go! Before Zhu Yunxiu could speak, the old eunuch Gou Ren had already shouted at the turtle's shame. The imperial tomb is of great importance, how can you speak!

The turtle did not dare to argue, and hid aside with tears in his eyes.

Lao Gou, he was unintentional! Zhu Yunxiu said with a forced smile.

Gou Ren frowned and advised that the eunuchs had no complete six senses and were vicious and vicious, and they were the best at looking at people's faces. If they had power, they would pretend to be powerful and humiliate the country. Your Highness was burdened with the country and the country, and should not be too close to them!

It would be fine if the Grand Secretary said this. It would be a bit ironic.

Your Highness asks you to go to the hall to rest, and the old slave asks someone to prepare meals!

The tired Zhu Yunxiu, wearing a plain dress full of sweat and mud, entered the Golden Palace to rest. It was said that he was resting, but in fact he was sitting on a straw mat.

The palace servants around him were busy, and the old eunuch Gou Ren, who couldn't even stand up, carefully helped Zhu Yunxuan get a gentle wet towel.

After wiping his head and face, he felt much more comfortable. Zhu Yunxi asked, "Old Gou, why have you never seen you before, and you have never heard of you!"

It's really strange that the only eunuch of grade in the imperial palace in the capital was Pu Bucheng. On the side of Zhongdu Imperial City, this unknown old eunuch had a slightly higher clothing than Pu Bucheng, and he was wearing jade ornaments around his waist.

Your Highness is here for the first time. He has never seen Lao Nu. Gou Ren puts bowls and chopsticks on the straw mat with his own hands and said, "It's like, Lao Nu and the Emperor are fellow villagers!"

Since he was a fellow villager, why didn’t he raise an army with the emperor’s grandfather back then? Zhu Yunfeng was a little puzzled.

It should be noted that when the old man set up a new branch at Guo Zixing, the first thing he did was to return to his hometown to recruit soldiers. Xu Da, Geng Junyong and others were the old man who defected to him at that time, and there were seven hundred children around Gujiazhuang, Fengyang.

When the old slave was young, his family was poor and was sent by his parents to the Huaiyang Palace in Yangzhou! Gou Ren continued, and later he was occupied by the thief in the blue-clothed state of Yangzhou. The old slave ran out and went to Chuzhou to join the emperor. The old slave was incomplete, not a man, and could not serve in the army. The emperor remembered his hometown feelings back then, so he would return to his hometown and guard the imperial tomb!

He said it was easy, but Zhu Yunxiu knew that where was it for gifts back then? Instead, he was sold to the King of the Mengyuan Sect as a eunuch by his parents!

At this time, Zhu Yunxiu's meal was presented.

A bowl of water, two coarse yellowed salt, and two light black cakes.

Zhu Yunxiu picked up the pancake, looked at it for a moment, and took a bite. He felt that many barbs appeared in his mouth, which made his lips and tongue hurt and he couldn't swallow it at all.

But there was no expression on his face, and he was still eating in small mouthfuls.

Remember the bitterness and think about the sweetness! Cherish today, everything is hard to come by.

That year, when the old prince came to worship the tomb for the first time, this was the same food!

Gou Ren said from the side that year, the queen was also there. The prince looked embarrassed at that time, and the queen told him that when the emperor was in a difficult position to raise an army, all the soldiers of the three armies ate this. Ordinary soldiers did not even have salt, and this salt was eaten by the generals who led the troops!

Zhu Yunxiu swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and said, "The Emperor's ancestor was difficult to start a business, but today he realized that it was one-sided. Everything is easy to do, but the way to become a human must be tempered by thousands of times. Just as heaven is about to give great responsibilities to this person, enduring hardships is a blessing!

Gou Ren's old face showed a smile. Your Highness is smart and blessed with the country! The spirit of ancestors in heaven can also be relieved!

As he said that, he smiled and said, "There is another interesting thing when talking about this cake." He was conquered General Chang in He County, but later there was no food in the army, so the general shouted that he would eat human flesh. He set up a pot and prepared to cook the captured prisoners!

The lonely grandfather is really... Zhu Yunxiu laughed in silence and was even a little embarrassed.

Gou Ren continued, but the general led a group of heroes and looked at him for a long time. The chef said that he couldn't make it because there was no salt. The general said that it was bad luck. The human flesh without salt was chewy without leaves!

Zhu Yunxiu was interested and forgot how difficult it was to swallow the food in his hand. He asked while eating, what happened later!

The entire army was short of food and had no food for three days. The emperor said that if this continues, he would not need to kill the Tartars, and he would be so hungry that he would eat the birds. If there were no birds, a good man would become a man or a woman like Lao Gou. He ordered the entire army to follow him on the boat and cross the river to find the Tartars to fight desperately.

Why can't we eat white flour buns for generations? Those birds and tatars hide in the big city, with steamed buns and meat every meal, and the little lady sings songs. What they eat and use are worshipped by our fathers, parents, sisters and sisters. Let's go now and grab our man's things back!

Gu knew about that battle. Grandpa Chang was the vanguard and was the first to climb Caishiji. He was like a tiger entering the flock of sheep. Zhu Yunxiu smiled and then said, "But Gu heard that after the army entered the city, Grandpa Huang banned robbery and did not violate the people!"

As he said that, he paused. Grandpa Huang was really a great man of his generation. The whole army was so hungry that he could hold back!

Gou Rendao, before Yingtian Prefecture broke the city, the emperor summoned all the generals. He said that Jinling was the foundation of the king. Before he obtained this important town in the southeast, we were just a thief who robbed the imperial throne!

To obtain this foundation, we want to pay tribute to the new dynasty of the Empress a few days ago. Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world. After entering the city, the granary of the government opened to eat. However, if anyone who does not obey the orders of plundering the people will be killed without mercy!

The emperor cut his finger with a knife and wrote five military orders, handed them to the black-faced ghost vanguard official Hua Yun, and Xiaosheer Wen Xun!

(Xiaosheer, a respected title in the old days, has the meaning of a young master! For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Wenzheng was called Zhu Xiaoshe. After Zhu Yuanzhang married Empress Ma, Guo Zixing also respected him as Zhu Xiaoshe in his army!)

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said that he was Zhu Wenxun, the adopted son of the Marquis of Dongqiu County and the Emperor's Grandfather!

Your Highness is very good at memory! Gou Ren praised and said, but after entering the city, the emperor adopted seven adopted sons in Huaixi, who disrespected the orders and insulted the women. Wen Xun Xiaoshe couldn't bear to kill them, so several people ran to Queen Ma to beg for mercy.

Isolated to know about this! Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, and several people asked for protection from his grandmother. It was his grandmother who cried and sent them to the army. Grandpa, the emperor, was at the Meridian Gate to rectify the Dharma in front of the people of the whole city! However, he still remembered the father-son relationship and left them with all the corpses!

Gou Ren helped Zhu Yunxiu to crush the last piece of salt and sprinkle it on the cake. The forest in the distance was where they buried their bones!

Zhu Yunxiu was eating the cake and thoughtfully said that Grandpa Huang always said that those who accomplish great things must have great kindness in their hearts! Killing adopted sons to appease the people means having great kindness in their hearts.

At the same time, he also understood the old man's thoughts better. Saying tombs is not only about remembering the bitterness and sweetness, but also about helping future generations to sharpen their minds and minds. These past events that have gone far away and the sufferings that have gone far away are not the past events that cannot be looked back on. However, for children and grandchildren, they are the most precious wealth and the most precious teaching by words and deeds.

I endured the last bite and drank the bitter water in the bowl in one breath.

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the old eunuch beside him and said softly, "You are old, so why don't you go back when you return to Beijing. You can find a secluded courtyard for you to take care of your old age in the palace. If you have nothing to do, talk to the emperor and talk about the customs and customs of your hometown back then!"

This is a great gift!

But the old eunuch shook his head firmly and looked at the hills in the distance. The old slave is old and most wishing to die in his hometown in his life. There is the grave of the old slave’s parents. After the old slave dies, he will be buried beside them!

You... Zhu Yunyu hesitated, Lao Gou, don't you blame them? Back then, they sent you to the Yangzhou Palace...

Gou Ren smiled slightly and looked open-minded.

I have to sell my old slaves for two buckets of coarse rice, and my relatives at home will live for half a year!

~~~

Note, (Someone said in the book review that Zhu Wenzheng was the son of Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest brother and the eldest son and grandson of the Zhu family. Zhu Yuanzhang loved him very much.

After Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Chuzhou, his brother-in-law Li Zhen brought his nephew and nephew to the army to join him. He treated this nephew as his own.

And later he deliberately promoted him to make meritorious contributions in the army, and his subordinates also had their own team and had a high prestige. But such a person was stripped of military power and imprisoned for the crime of affair with the enemy. In fact, in my opinion, there is another meaning.
