After Zhu Shangbing set up the firewood pile, he began to hold the firewood in his hand, lay on the ground and stick out his buttocks, trying to light the fire.

Zhu Gaochi took a copper kettle and sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandpa, it's time to get some water."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the kettle, glanced at his fat grandson squatting aside, and clapped his hands at the tree stump next to him: "Sit here, you will either stand or squat all day long. Maybe your legs and feet can handle it?"

Only then did Zhu Gaochi respond, and he carefully distanced himself from the old man and sat down.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of water and said to his fat grandson: "What's going on? Ever since our grandson and grandson left Beijing, have you always been so embarrassed?"

Cough cough cough…

At the other end, Zhu Shangbing, who was lying on the ground, coughed several times, but he was still blowing the firewood, trying to light the firewood pile. However, because the firewood was damp during the Qingming Festival, all the firewood could produce was a thick cloud of smoke.

For a moment, Zhu Shangbing only felt a ball of "fairy energy" in front of his eyes, and his nose had an irritating and unpleasant smell.

Zhu Gaochi glanced helplessly at this silly brother, and then persuaded the old man: "Grandpa, although you left a handwritten letter in the palace, we didn't just leave the capital casually like this.

Even if grandpa wants to leave Beijing, he should inform the cabinet, and then the six ministries and the governor's office will discuss it and dispatch soldiers and horses to protect him. The local officials will be notified in advance along the way to prepare for the arrival.

Only in this way can it be considered appropriate.”

Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, just squinting at his fat grandson who was chattering away.

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If I put it aside, do you think they can let me leave the capital? Even if they let me leave the capital, I can take you two brothers to see our Ming Dynasty with your own eyes.

What’s the current situation?”

Zhu Gaochi was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Don't talk about your theories. Your grandpa is not an emperor who grew up in the palace. How can I not know the local thoughts and methods. If the news of grandpa's departure from Beijing spreads, the local officials will be able to tell everything.

A bouquet of whitewashed flowers.”

Zhu Gaochi was speechless.

How could he not know these things?

Even if nothing wrong is done in the local area, once they know that the emperor is coming, they will definitely start dressing up all the places under their jurisdiction early.

Even beggars on the road have to be sent away and hidden, or taken into local nursing homes.

Zhu Shangbing stood aside for a long time and couldn't get angry, but he heard the conversation between Zhu Gaochi and the old man clearly.

He stood up suddenly and stomped his feet: "Don't make Grandpa Huang angry. How long has it been since Grandpa left Beijing? Now that my uncle is presiding over the court in Beijing and assisting the cabinet, what big things can happen in our Ming Dynasty?"

At Grandpa's age, an ordinary family would have already indulged in having grandchildren. Now that there is nothing going on in the court, can't you take Grandpa out for a walk?"

After saying that, Zhu Shangbing sat down between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Yuanzhang, and slapped the fire seal on Zhu Gaochi's hand.

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes, but he also knew that his persuasion was useless, so he could only get up and walk to the firewood pile with the firewood.

That idiot Zhu Shangbing didn't even know how to make a fire with wet wood, but he still knew how to make the old man happy.

Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart, and he had already pulled out a handful of cotton from the bag beside him. He put the cotton in a handful of dry leaves, carefully blew the fire stick into it, and then blew slowly

.

Soon, a few streaks of white smoke floated out from the leaves and cotton balls, and then a bright fire appeared.

Zhu Gaochi carefully stuffed a few twigs under the pile of firewood, and then placed the igniting flame under the firewood.

And he lay on the ground and continued to blow into the pile of firewood.

After a while, thick smoke began to emit from the firewood pile, but the flames underneath grew bigger and bigger.

Soon, the thick smoke disappeared, and the fire completely enveloped the entire firewood pile.

Sun Gou'er, the chief steward of the inner court, carrying a copper pot, came over immediately and placed the copper pot on the fire.

Only then did Zhu Gaochi look at the old man who had been made happy by Zhu Shangbing, but he felt confused.

The old man left Beijing secretly this time, not to relax.

He clearly wanted to sneak out of Beijing quietly after Brother Heer, and follow Brother Heer to the southwest for a circle.

God knows what Brother Xiu's reaction will be when he finds out that the old man secretly ran to the southwest.

What's more important is if the chieftains in the southwest find out.

Once the war breaks out, I'm afraid those people will come to capture the old man so that the army on the front line can take advantage of him.

Zhu Gaochi quietly glanced around.

This time the old man slipped out. Apart from himself and Zhu Shangbing, there was only the group of forbidden officers and soldiers led by Sun Gou'er.

It would be troublesome for me to send the news to Brother Xi early.
