Chapter 119: How could my eldest brother still be alive?
In the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace with his two children.
"In the future, I need to get closer to your eldest brother. Do you understand? Your eldest brother lost a hundred million and has not had any relatives for ten years. You are his younger brothers and sisters. Don't let your eldest brother feel lonely."
In the car, Zhu Yuanzhang said somewhat sadly.
The eldest grandson and these two children were both born to Biao'er and Chang. Now both parents are kings, especially the eldest grandson. He has even forgotten their parents' appearance.
Biao'er's coffin is still in the Renzhi Hall. Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang is planning to find a time for his eldest grandson to see his father.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang, can I tell my father about my elder brother?"
Zhu Mingyue said first.
Girls' minds are always more delicate. Seeing Grandpa Huang's expression, Zhu Mingyue had some vague guesses.
"Good boy, of course you can."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but touched Zhu Mingyue's head, with a hint of doting in his tone.
This made Zhu Mingyue feel very heart-warming, although she knew that this kind of kindness from Grandpa Huang basically belonged to her eldest brother.
After arriving at the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the two children to go to Renzhi Palace, while he went in the direction of Kunning Palace.
Accompanied by Liu He, Zhu Yuanzhang once again walked into this unforgettable place.
"Sister, you have seen it in the sky. Our eldest grandson is very good, but he has a very stubborn temper. He is just like us."
"It's just that this is our eldest grandson after all. We can't bear to beat him or scold him. We can only coax him. What should we do if he starts crying?"
"With you gone, we don't know how to coax him."
"My grandson wants to attack Japan, and it looks like we can't stop him. Now he wants to attack Annan, and we can't stop him. It's really giving us a headache."
"The key words of the great grandson are repeated one after another. We don't even know how to refute them."
"The last time we asked Rujun, Minister of the Ministry of War, to go there, we wanted to persuade the grandson to give up the idea of fighting the Japanese country and just run his own family well."
"Guess what, Na Rujun was persuaded by Da Sun."
"This eldest grandson is really worrying. We guess that sister, you may have to wait for us for a while. With things like this, how can we leave with peace of mind."
"Sister, it would be great if you were here. My eldest grandson has listened to you since he was a child."
Zhu Yuanzhang retreated to the left and right, and was alone in the palace, chanting.
There were some things in his heart that he could only come here to talk to his eldest sister. Except for his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and saw that there was no one with whom he could talk personally.
In the Hall of Renzhi.
The two children were in a completely different state today. Not only did they not feel the slightest fear next to their father's coffin.
They even kept talking to their father about how they felt when they saw their eldest brother today.
"Father, you don't know that my brother actually called me daddy when he saw me for the first time."
"Isn't it the same for my sister? She even talked about me and screamed louder than me."
"I wasn't scared by you, but my eldest brother does look similar to my father. No wonder Grandpa Huang can recognize him at a glance."
"Huh, as the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, so it's not wrong for me to call him daddy."
"What are you talking about? It makes sense, right? But now I miss my brother's monkey wine, it's so sweet."
"Me too, sister, tell me when can we see eldest brother next time."
"You are silly. Didn't Grandpa Huang say that he would give us a license to leave the palace? Then we can go to see Big Brother every day."
"Sister, we went over today and had a meal together, but we didn't get to have a good chat with my eldest brother. I have a lot of things to say to my eldest brother."
"Grandpa Huang is here, so how can it be our turn? Grandpa Huang is so busy every day, so it's not easy to go there. We always have a lot of time."
"Sister is right."
The two younger children were obviously very interested in this eldest brother who had come back from the dead, and the rumors that Xiaoling was magical.
And unforgettable food.
"Sister." Zhu Yunxi looked around, shouted softly, and then carefully took out a palm-sized delicate wooden box from his sleeve.
Before leaving, this was the meeting gift specially given to them by the eldest brother.
There is one box for each of the two children, and there are fruity sugar cubes inside.
The lethality of this thing to children can be imagined.
"Save your food. Brother must have put a lot of effort into getting these two boxes. We have never heard of them in the palace. I think they must be extremely precious."
Zhu Mingyue licked her lips subconsciously, touched the same wooden box in her arms, and then explained to her younger brother Zhu Yunxi.
"Okay, listen to my sister, can I take one pill every day from now on?" Zhu Yunxi reluctantly took the wooden box back and asked.
After Zhu Mingyue thought about it seriously, she replied: "Okay, then we will eat one every day from now on."
Then he added: "Hide it well and don't let others know it. This little bit is not enough."
There are not only two younger brothers who live together in Chunhe Hall. In addition to Zhu Yunwen, there are also two other younger brothers.
There were originally three of them, but one of them died young before he was three years old.
In the Spring Harmony Hall.
Zhu Yunwen and Huang Zicheng had just had dinner together.
Huang Zicheng looked at Zhu Yunwen with a loyal look on the left and a loyal look on the right.
After the incident in Jinyiwei, Huang Zicheng was completely resigned.
Even if he were asked to die for Zhu Yunwen, he would be willing to do so.
At this time, a young eunuch sneaked in quietly and whispered something to Zhu Yunwen.
After saying that, he bowed and left quickly.
After the little eunuch left, Zhu Yunwen was so angry that he threw all the books in his hands on the ground.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Seeing this, Huang Zicheng asked anxiously.
"Grandpa Huang took Yunxi and Mingyue out of the palace in the afternoon and came back at this time." Zhu Yunwen said with a gloomy expression.
Huang Zicheng frowned when he heard this.
This situation is very abnormal.
It's not that the second son, Zhu Yunxi, is a threat to His Highness Taisun, but the significance of this move, without His Highness Taisun, is too far-reaching.
"Mr. Huang, who do you think Grandpa Huang is looking for? Why did he take them with him but not me? Is there someone else who I can't see?"
Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth, his tone full of grievances, and he suddenly felt that Grandpa Huang seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
He had been comforting himself before, thinking that Grandpa Huang must be too busy with government affairs and came to take care of himself.
But now this self-comfort has been completely broken.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue, these two were the former legitimate sons and daughters. Even they were brought along, but they were not even brought along as their great-grandson.
This shows that he no longer has much place in Grandpa Huang's heart.
How could Grandpa Huang forget me? How could he forget me?
Confucian etiquette restricts him, otherwise Zhu Yunwen would want to roar and roar without restraint.
After Huang Zicheng heard this, he did not reply immediately, but began to think deeply.
He always felt as if something terrible was happening.
If you think about it carefully, there haven't been any major events in the capital recently.
No, Xiaoling.
The name Xiaoling suddenly appeared in Huang Zicheng's mind.
Especially in the past few days, the rumors about Xiaoling have become more and more crazy. When Huang Zicheng heard it for the first time, he told his servants not to talk too much and talk nonsense.
But within two days, the news began to spread throughout the capital, and it seemed that even many ministers were talking about it.
When it comes to matters such as the Royal Xiaoling Mausoleum, His Majesty is unusual in not prohibiting speech.
Huang Zicheng even heard that even His Majesty's personal eunuch, Liu He, the Chief of Ceremony, was talking about this matter.
At that time, Huang Zicheng felt a little incredible.
Thinking of this, Huang Zicheng asked Zhu Yunwen: "Your Highness, has your Highness heard about the recent incident at Xiaoling?"
Zhu Yunwen, who was full of grievances and had no place to vent his grievances, said angrily: "Of course I heard it, it has been spread throughout the palace recently."
"I really don't know what these eunuchs and maids ate. They are so courageous that they even dare to spread rumors about Xiaoling."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunwen smiled coldly and said: "Look, sooner or later this matter will reach the ears of Grandpa Huang, and by then I estimate that many people in the entire palace will die."
Upon hearing this, Huang Zicheng said hesitantly: "Perhaps, your Majesty secretly allowed this matter to spread."
"Impossible, this is the Xiaoling Mausoleum, where the ancestral mausoleum is located. How could the emperor allow it to be spread? What's the point of it?" Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said in disbelief.
"But I heard that even Liu He, who is next to Your Majesty, is also recounting this matter." Huang Zicheng said.
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was shocked and shouted: "What, Liu He'an dares to do this. He is Grandpa Huang's personal eunuch. Who gave him the courage to do this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed with horror.
Who else could give Liu He the courage except Grandpa Huang?
"So, is this matter really arranged secretly by the emperor? The rumors are so widespread, even in the palace, it must have spread throughout the capital." Zhu Yunwen still had some disbelief in his tone.
But judging from the current situation, it is most likely that this matter is really Grandpa Huang.:.
Huang Zicheng nodded and said: "Yes, the news about Xiaoling has been spread in all the teahouses and taverns in the entire capital, and no one has stopped it. It seems that it is even spread among the army."
Zhu Yunwen said with some confusion: "I know about the Xiaoling Mausoleum. It is about the tomb of my eldest brother King Yu. It is said that when my eldest brother was buried ten years ago, an earth dragon rolled over, causing the tomb to collapse."
"I dug once ten years ago but failed to find it. I dug again this time. It seems that I still haven't found the coffin."
Putting aside those nagging things, Zhu Yunwen, who lives in the palace, obviously understands such things relatively clearly.
It's just that when he heard the rumors about Xiaoling, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, his eldest brother had died young and had been dead for ten years, so he didn't have much to say.
Even Zhu Yunwen didn't really want to talk about his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying, and subconsciously avoided talking about his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying.
When he was young, the shadow left by his elder brother always existed in his heart.
When the eldest brother Zhu Xiongying passed away, he was already six years old, and he still had memories of many things.
It’s not that I was bullied by my eldest brother, it’s just that the eldest brother at that time was the darling of the entire Ming Dynasty Palace. Even my father, grandpa and grandma had to rely on my eldest brother.
The feeling of being dominated by his elder brother really makes Zhu Yunwen feel a little breathless when he thinks about it.
Even though his mother and concubine were strengthened and became a step-wife, and he became a legitimate son from a concubine, these things were not enough to see in front of the eldest brother, and there was no difference.
"How did His Highness say that His Highness King Yu is His Highness's eldest brother?"
Huang Zicheng asked a little strangely. He thought it was Zhu Yunwen who made a slip of the tongue.
Except for some top-level nobles, many people don't know much about royal matters. Even if there are rumors from the outside world, it is said that it is His Royal Highness.
Hearing Huang Zicheng's question, Zhu Yunwen didn't think much and explained: "My eldest brother died young at the age of eight. According to the rules, he cannot be a Xiaoling, so the emperor regarded his eldest grandson as a prince and named his eldest brother King Yu."
"After he came down like this, he was buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum."
After Huang Zicheng heard this, he thought subconsciously, his eyes suddenly showed horror, and asked: "In other words, King Yu is actually the eldest son of His Highness the Crown Prince, the eldest grandson of His Majesty, and the eldest brother of His Highness?"
"Yes." Zhu Yunwen saw Huang Zicheng's shocked expression and replied feeling a little strange.
Huang Zicheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to ask: "In other words, His Royal Highness Prince Yu must be the son of the former Crown Princess."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "He was born to my eldest mother."
The horror on Huang Zicheng's face became more and more obvious, as if he had discovered something shocking, and he asked with a trembling tone: "Your Highness Yunxi, Princess Mingyue, and His Highness Prince Yu are born from the same mother."
"That's right."
Zhu Yunwen frowned. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he saw Huang Zicheng's expression, he seemed to notice an unusual charm.
For just a moment, he didn't react.
After all, his eldest brother, who had been dead for ten years, had begun to fade away in his memory.
If it weren't for the Xiaoling incident, no one in the palace would have mentioned it over the years, and no one would have dared to mention it.
After all, this also involves the death of the Queen’s grandmother.
"If, what I'm saying is, if His Royal Highness King Yu is still here, will His Majesty be extremely fond of him, and even the position of the great grandson belongs to him?"
Huang Zicheng said cautiously, he was worried that His Highness Taisun would be unhappy because of this.
But it was obvious that Zhu Yunwen was very self-aware and replied directly: "Of course, the eldest brother was brought up by Grandpa Huang himself. He never even lived in the East Palace. He lived in Kunning Palace since he was born and was taken care of by Grandma Huang.
"
"At that time, even my father could only see me every day. If my eldest brother was here, the position of grandson would naturally have little to do with me, and it would not have anything to do with me."
Zhu Yunwen said frankly that he might have been a little jealous when he was a child, but now, it is impossible for him to argue with a dead man.
Huang Zicheng hesitated for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "Your Highness, do you think it is possible that His Highness King Yu is still alive?"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how can my eldest brother still be alive." Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
