Zhu Yunxi saw rare gaffes and anxiety in Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang does not look like an emperor, but more like an old man who cares about his nephew.
Muying is the first child adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.
Throughout the ages, military generals have had the tradition of adopting adopted sons and entrusting them with important responsibilities. They may be leading elite guards, charging into battle, or controlling soldiers.
But Muying is definitely more than that.
He was born in poverty, a child of a peasant family in Dingyuan. He fled with his mother when he was young. Her mother died of illness. The late Empress Ma saw that he was pitiful and took him in as a child.
From then on, Mu Ying changed her surname to Zhu and her given name to Ying.
At the age of twelve, Mu Yingjiu began to follow Zhu Yuanzhang into battle. Not only was he brave in battle, he was also filial, serving Ma Xiuying as if he were his own flesh and blood, and treating the children of the Zhu family like an eldest brother.
From the time he became the adopted son of the Zhu family to now, he has been a member of the Zhu family for decades. In the hearts of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying, he is no less important than their own flesh and blood.
Even the adult princes of Zhu Yuanzhang would respectfully call Mu Ying "brother" when they saw her.
The initial website address is https://m.
He is not Zhu Yuanzhang's only adopted son, but he is the one the Zhu family likes and trusts the most.
Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne as emperor. For the sake of royal blood and inheritance issues, these adopted sons could not be allowed to follow his own surnames, and they were allowed to restore their original surnames. Only Mu Ying begged her adopted father and adopted mother not to be an official or to seek a noble title.
I just want to continue to be the son of the Zhu family.
At that time, Ma Xiuying held Muying's hand and cried, no matter what your surname is, you are my son!
In order to repay the Zhu family's kindness, Mu Ying chose the surname Mu, who was bathed in Tian's grace.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Mu Ying did not want to be a virtuous lord of Yang. She first conquered Tubo, and then went to Mobei, and made great achievements. Finally, she took the initiative to guard the border areas of Yunnan, wipe out the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, eliminate the Duan family in Dali, and frighten the vassal state.
The Ming Dynasty protects the country.
In addition to his illustrious martial arts achievements, Mu Ying also implemented countless virtue policies in Yunnan, established water conservancy, opened transportation, and established schools.
He is not arrogant, arrogant, greedy, cruel, or violent.
Zhu Yuanzhang once said that if Ying'er is stationed in Yunnan, we should be at ease!
A few years ago, Empress Ma passed away, and Mu Ying, who was far away in Yunnan, cried until she vomited blood and fell ill.
Mu Ying's character "Mu" will be interpreted by the blood of countless men in her family in the next few hundred years.
The Mu family has guarded Yunnan for generations. With the Mu family here, the chieftains of Yunnan have not dared to rebel for hundreds of years. Generations of Mu family men have been at the border, silently guarding the territory for the Ming Dynasty.
Until the last head of the Mu family, Mu Tianbo, died in Myanmar.
Now, Yunnan Baili is expedited, is it possible?
"Bring it here!" Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed the memorial directly from Huang Gou'er's hand, and Zhu Yunxi found that his hands were shaking.
Then, the expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became ferocious, "Pass an order to the Taiyuan Hospital on the way to Yunnan. All medicinal materials available in Beijing, no matter what they are, as long as they are beneficial to Ying'er, will be sent!"
"See for yourself!" Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and sighed, "Muying, I'm going to die soon!"
Zhu Yunxi was shocked and opened the memorial.
"Your Majesty, Mu Chun is weeping and bleeding!"
Mu Chun was Mu Ying's eldest son, and he wrote the memorial.
"When my father heard that the prince had passed away, he cried loudly and vomited three liters of blood. He fell ill. I called in famous doctors, and they all said that he didn't have much time. My family was tired of the emperor's favor. My father once said that he would be buried outside Dongling after his death.
Accompanying the queen's mausoleum..."
Looking at the memorial in his hand, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of the past.
In the twentieth year of Hongwu, when he was still young, Mu Ying came to Beijing. Under the leadership of his father Zhu Biao, he met Mu Ying.
He was a tall, young man with a gentle smile on his face.
At that time, Zhu Biao called Mu Ying Brother Ying.
I used the junior gift to meet Mu Ying. The latter had a kind smile and a friendly look, and gave me a scimitar from the vassal state.
When Mu Ying left Beijing, Zhu Biao took several young vassal kings and sent them far, far away!
They were by the Xuanwu Lake and even said goodbye with a sigh of relief.
"First our eldest son is gone, and now it's Mu Ying's turn?" Zhu Yuanzhang said sadly, with a bitter look on his face, "What's going on? Why do we, an old man with gray hair, still have to go through the process of losing a son?"
pain!"
As he said that, he slid the food and wine off the table, "How can we live if everyone leaves us?"
"Grandpa!" Zhu Yunxi obediently knelt beside Zhu Yuanzhang and gently held his back.
Later generations will say that Zhu Yuanzhang was cruel, but in fact Zhu Yunxi's memory told him that Zhu Yuanzhang was the person who valued family ties the most. The orphans he and Ma Xiuying adopted were all raised in their own home and grew up with their sons.
Ma Xiuying personally taught these children reading and literacy, and Zhu Yuanzhang taught these children martial arts. Brothers and brothers fought in battles, father and son fought in the army, and these adopted sons headed by Mu Ying did not disappoint their adoptive father and adoptive mother. They were all good.
"Grandpa, don't worry! Mr. Mu is just sick. He is in his prime. He has been practicing martial arts all year round and is strong. He looks anxious now. He will be fine after a while." Zhu Yunxi said softly.
"Hey!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "When people get old, this is the most unsightly thing!"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting there, his gray hair and wrinkles showing his age. Emperors are also human beings, especially an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang who came from a rough background and valued his family. It was even harder for him to give up his feelings for his family.
He killed many ministers and heroes in his life, but he never killed any family member. Even his nephew who betrayed him at the beginning was not imprisoned. His nephew's descendants were all granted vassal status.
Those nephews were also raised by him as if they were his own children. Each of them was a hereditary prince, and he watched them get married, establish a business, and carry on the family line.
There are also the adopted sons of the generals. In the past, when Empress Ma was still alive, she would prepare new clothes for the children of the adopted sons' families every New Year.
"Grandpa!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "My grandson, I want to ask you something!"
"We, grandfather and grandson, don't ask for anything!" Zhu Yuanzhang seemed a little tired and said softly.
"Your birthday will be in a few months!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "If in the folk, the birthday of an old birthday star is a time for family reunion. My grandson thought, let's make it a lively event this year!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head in surprise, with joy in his eyes.
"Call all the uncles back and your adopted sons, let's have a good time together as a family for a few days!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "You can also take a look at your grandsons, godsons, and goddaughters.
, how good is it?”
The wrinkles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face bloomed with a smile, and his eyes were full of yearning.
Although the emperor is the supreme ruler, he is also a loner.
The ordinary family happiness that ordinary people have in their homes is a luxury item for the emperor.
The palace is very big, but it doesn't feel like home. There is only me as the emperor and a group of concubines. Meetings are complicated with various etiquette, and it doesn't feel like home at all.
But gradually, Zhu Yuanzhang's smile faded and turned bitter.
Waving his hands repeatedly, "No, no, we can't let them come!"
Sighing again, he continued, "It is a big event for the vassal king to come to the capital. Their family and bodyguards will number tens of thousands of people, and the government officials along the way will inevitably have to entertain them. Nowadays, the government officials everywhere are not rich. It is a good thing for them to come to the capital to pay their birthdays, but it will cause nuisance to the local area.
It is a bad thing to increase the burden on the people!"
"Although we are the emperor, we can't let the people suffer just for the sake of me. No, no, no!"
Zhu Yunxi felt a bit of admiration in his heart.
This is a good emperor who thinks about the people. He is afraid that his sons who come to Beijing will bring financial burdens and deficits to the local area.
If there are any future generations of perfect old men, this great emperor or that great emperor. They are happy for themselves, and they don’t care about the life and death of your people.
