Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass and narrowed his eyes with laughter.
"Grandpa, don't just drink wine, eat some food." Zhu Ying said with a smile.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he went to pick up the vegetables without listening to Zhu Ying's words. He looked at the two grandchildren in front of him who were feasting and reprimanded softly:
"I'm going to eat later. It's like I've never seen food before. I'm so out of manner."
Hearing this, the two people who were eating rice at high speed suddenly froze. Zhu Yunxi defended in a low voice: "Grandpa Huang, I have never eaten such delicious food."
Zhu Mingyue stuck out her tongue cutely and put down her chopsticks.
"Big grandson, these two little bastards are your biological brothers and sisters. Why are you so stunned, calling me brother?"
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reprimanding him, he said to Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue.
As he finished speaking, he looked closely at Dasun's face.
In his heart, he naturally hoped that his eldest grandson would accept his younger siblings, because he knew that his eldest grandson had been too lonely and had been working hard alone.
"Brother, I am Yunxi, and I would like to give you a drink."
"Brother, I am Mingyue."
The two people quickly picked up their wine glasses, stood up respectfully, and bowed to toast at the same time.
Seeing this, Zhu Ying stood up with a smile, picked up the cup and said: "Time flies, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Seeing you, there is no impression in my memory, but it gives me a very familiar feeling."
"Especially you, Mingyue."
"Drink together."
Zhu Ying saw the strong expectation in Mingyue's eyes and said.
Okay, he admitted, he lied.
There is no sense of familiarity at all, it is completely strange.
It's just the timid looks of these two children and the hope in the eyes of the old man next to them.
In order to avoid embarrassment to everyone, he thought about it slightly and said it like this.
Sure enough, after Zhu Ying finished speaking, Mingyue drank the wine in one gulp, and a blush appeared on her cheeks. With the strength of the wine, Mingyue became much bolder and said:
"I knew that my eldest brother must have some impression of me. When I was a child, I always followed him."
As she spoke, Zhu Mingyue burst into tears and continued with a hint of crying: "Brother, you are finally back. Mingyue misses you so much."
Seeing his sister crying next to him, Zhu Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable because he was different from Zhu Mingyue.
I have no impression of my elder brother at all, and I have never played with him.
I only vaguely knew that such a big brother existed.
Zhu Mingyue is different. When Zhu Xiongying was here, her life was very happy, and her eldest brother was always taking care of her.
They lived with Zhu Yunwen's biological mother in Chunhe Palace and were taken care of by Mrs. Lu.
When Zhu Xiongying was here, Mrs. Lu was very kind to Yunxi Mingyue.
Zhu Mingyue was also five years old at the time, and the change in Lu's attitude was very obvious. Coupled with the early maturity of girls, her feelings were even more relevant.
"Brother, when will you enter the palace? Without you, no one will protect us."
Zhu Mingyue hesitated for a moment, glanced at Grandpa Huang, and asked boldly.
In fact, Zhu Mingyue's status is not low. She is the eldest granddaughter. In a sense, she is the eldest princess of the entire Ming Dynasty.
As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, although Queen Ma has improved the status of women to a certain extent.
However, due to the influence of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the status of women is still much lower than that of the Song Dynasty.
Zhu Mingyue's status as the eldest princess did not bring her any special treatment.
Hearing Zhu Mingyue's words, Zhu Ying didn't know how to answer for the time being.
Zhu Yuanzhang next to him heard this and explained: "It won't be long. Your eldest brother's identity has just been confirmed. We still have to make arrangements to prevent your eldest brother from suffering too much when he enters the palace."
Zhu Mingyue nodded. She understood what Grandpa Huang meant. After all, she was already sixteen years old and was considered a tall and graceful girl.
We were all enjoying ourselves, and dinner passed quickly.
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue also ate very happily.
"You two are just playing in the yard, and your eldest brother and I will go to the back room to talk about something."
"Yes, Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Yuanzhang got up, went to the study with Zhu Ying and left.
"How about the eldest grandson? Suddenly there are two more younger brothers and sisters. Are you very happy?"
After entering the room, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
"More than that, I'm afraid there are still a bunch of uncles and aunts waiting for me." Zhu Ying said jokingly.
The old man has more than twenty sons and a dozen daughters.
Many of these princes and princesses are younger than Zhu Ying.
Hearing Zhu Ying's joke, Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, and then educated him: "It's good to know. You are so old, how can you still be single? You are also of age to get married."
"We are still waiting to have our great-grandson, so you have to give us some credit. We have already arranged for someone to find a good daughter for you. Get married as soon as possible and don't delay."
Zhu Ying was helpless after hearing this.
Unexpectedly, the fate of being forced to get married in my previous life would come again in this life.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ying's somewhat reluctant expression and couldn't help but emphasize again: "There are three types of unfilial piety, the biggest is not having children. Why, do you still want us to not even have the chance to have a great-grandchild?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ying knew that the old man was on the line, so he explained: "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, I have no intention of not getting married."
"After all, I am also a flesh-and-blood man, and it is not that I am not sexually attracted to women. It's just that I was wandering around in the early years, so I couldn't think of settling down."
"If you really want to marry a girl at will, wouldn't that be harmful to others?"
After hearing Zhu Ying's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are already over 18 years old. You haven't touched a woman in so many years. You must be very energetic."
"I'm afraid one is not enough, so I have to look for a few more for you. It's best to give us a few more great-grandchildren so that we can also enjoy happiness."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying was obviously a little embarrassed.
However, for the sake of his own life-long event, he still said: "Grandpa, when you are looking for a wife for me, you can't just look for her. Let me take a look at her first and let me know if you like her or not."
Zhu Yuanzhang also did not expect Zhu Ying to make such a request, and reprimanded: "Marry a virtuous wife, and take concubines for sex. We will help you find a virtuous and virtuous wife. As for the concubine, you can find it yourself when the time comes."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying suddenly remembered what happened with Annan.
So he told the old man his idea of arranging Annan, but he did not mention the founding of Annan.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so smart that he immediately understood Zhu Ying's core thoughts.
"What a great grandson, let me tell you why you always want to run away. It turns out you are trying to get Annan."
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was a little shocked when he heard these words.
From the intelligence information collected by Jin Yiwei about Da Sun, Zhu Yuanzhang only had a vague feeling that Da Sun should be similar to the merchants on the frontier.
But when I heard about Zhu Ying's familiarity with the Annan affairs, his arrangements for the troops, and his thoughts, I immediately understood.
This eldest grandson, I'm afraid, really went beyond my own thoughts.
What kind of businessman dares to put his idea into a country?
Annan is not a small country, and it is considered powerful among many tributary countries. Even if the Ming Dynasty wanted to fight, it would have to be planned and arranged.
In Da Sun's narration, he had already laid deep nails into Annan's arrangements, and even talked about some things in Annan's court.
It is enough to show that Da Sun's secret agent has penetrated into Annan's court.
As for Princess Anxiu, there is no need to pay too much attention to it.
"I can't help it. I've been wandering around for these years, and I have to find a place to stay. Annan is in a good location, especially with sea routes extending in all directions. I think it's a good place to stay."
Zhu Ying explained.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless. Your goal is to conquer the entire Annan Kingdom?
Moreover, according to what Da Sun said, it seems that an Annan is not his ultimate goal. When it comes to the small countries around Annan.
It's like talking about the back garden of your own home.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang understood why Da Sun always talked about the maritime ban earlier.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Dasun suspiciously and asked:
"You kept encouraging us to attack the Japanese country at that time. Did you want to take advantage of the time when we were attacking the Japanese country? We, the Ming Dynasty, were unable to take care of Annan affairs and take this opportunity to plan Annan."
"Whether we can defeat Japan or not, by the time it's all over, Annan will already be in your hands."
"Even if we don't want to in our hearts, we can only make you King Annan."
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the clearer he became. In a circle, he didn't expect that before his identity was revealed, he would inadvertently become the knife in Da Sun's hand.
Zhu Ying heard this and didn't know how to answer.
He had no way to deny that he had actually had this plan in mind when he heard the old man say that he was a Grand Scholar.
Of course, it didn't make much difference to him whether the Ming Dynasty attacked the Japanese country or not. Even if he didn't fight, he would not say give up Annan.
Just using the Japanese country to involve the Ming Dynasty's energy, there won't be too many unexpected factors in planning Annan.
He looked at Da Sun who didn't answer for a long time and looked a little embarrassed at the same time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately delighted.
He wants to proudly tell everyone that this is our biological eldest grandson, so what if he lives in the wild.
It is undeniable that he was able to conquer the Ming Dynasty back then because the times made him a hero.
But his eldest grandson was a hero who created the situation.
Even if there are no opportunities, you have to create opportunities.
What a great grandson, really good.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a sense of being surpassed at this moment, which made him feel very comfortable.
The so-called hope that your son will become a dragon.
It is something to be happy about when your grandson surpasses you.
With such a great grandson, why worry about the Ming Empire having no successors?
Zhu Yuanzhang himself was actually a very egoistic and proud person.
The emperor has been a lonely man since ancient times, but today, Zhu Yuanzhang has met a like-minded person, and this person is also his eldest grandson.
