From the beginning of a bowl, he grew up to be the emperor of the Ming Empire today.
Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp intuition is quite important.
From the beginning of the empress, looking at the more than 500 emperors in ancient and modern times, the only one who can rival Zhu Yuanzhang is Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
If you have to dig deeper, Liu Bang was still the pavilion chief of Da Qin at that time.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was a Guizhou leader whose parents would starve to death and not have enough to eat.
Later generations will be known as: the most righteous emperor since ancient times.
Even though he is over sixty years old, Zhu Yuanzhang does not have the dullness of an old man at all, and his thinking is still quick.
After just thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately discovered something was wrong with Zhu Ying's question just now.
"Junior Zhu Ying, may I ask the old man how he is called."
While Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought, Zhu Ying's voice sounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then smiled calmly and said: "Our surname is also Zhu, Zhu Guorui."
Not many people know the name Zhu Guorui, but it is really Zhu Yuanzhang's former name.
But compared to the two names Zhu Chongba and Zhu Yuanzhang, they are only spread within a small area.
Zhu Chongba is not a famous name, just a nickname.
When Zhu Yuanzhang achieved some success, he named himself Zhu Xingzong, whose courtesy name was Guorui.
However, this name did not last long and not many people knew it.
In particular, some of Zhu Yuanzhang's old friends either called him by the title of his position at that time.
Those close to him also call him Brother Zhongba.
Zhu Xingzong, also known as Guorui, soon became useless.
He was named Zhu Yuanzhang directly.
In today's Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guorui is called Zhu Guorui, even by Zhu Yuanzhang's princes and ministers.
They are all very strange.
Only older brothers such as Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Zhou Dexing, Liu Bowen, Tang He, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, etc. have heard of it.
But most of them have passed away, and not many are left.
What's more, addressing His Majesty by his first name is also an act of great disrespect.
The reason why this former name was passed down to later generations is because it was recorded in some documents compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
This was passed down.
But even so, in later generations, he was called Zhu Xingzong and Zhu Guorui.
After hearing this, it was natural that he could not contact Zhu Yuanzhang.
As for the self-proclaimed ‘we’.
Not to mention that.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang, Anhui Province, and "Zan" belongs to the Huaixi dialect.
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
In today's Nanjing city, many wealthy households are Zhu Yuanzhang's fellow villagers who immigrated from Huaixi.
Even the entire Huaixi generals group is here with their families.
If you hear an old man in his sixties calling himself "We", you will think it is Zhu Yuanzhang.
Then go for a walk on the streets of Nanjing City during the day.
That is, being able to recognize five hundred Zhu Yuanzhangs.
A large number of people from Huaixi have high status in Nanjing, either from noble families or from wealthy families.
Even people from many other places subconsciously imitate the Huaixi dialect when speaking.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, even in the morning court, spoke a strong Huaixi dialect.
The Huaixi officials below also communicated with His Majesty in Huaixi dialect.
This leads to the fact that for the Ming Dynasty, Huaixi dialect is, in a sense, the official dialect.
It’s okay if you don’t understand a few words of Mandarin, just call yourself ‘we’.
More than ten days ago, when Zhu Ying arrived in Nanjing, he naturally discovered this matter.
On the way, people came and went in various Huaixi dialects.
Therefore, when the old man opposite calls himself "we", it is impossible for Zhu Ying to have rich associations with him.
After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, for now, he is still very good to fellow villagers.
Even if his surname is Zhu, he also calls himself Zan.
Zhu Ying naturally guessed that the status of the old man in front of him was probably not too low in terms of the entire city of Nanjing.
"Old man, it seems that we can be considered a family."
Zhu Ying said politely, not that he was trying to cling to the powerful.
If he really wanted to get on the old man's path, he still had many ways to think of.
Even if your identity is unclear, you can probably get a lot of benefits.
But for now, it is not necessary for Zhu Ying.
His own foundation is already considered a behemoth, although it is not very good in the Ming Dynasty.
But outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor.
At that time, we will carry out technological reforms and build our country overseas.
Improve commerce with the perspective of future generations.
In the future, his country will never be worse than the city of Nanjing, it can only be more prosperous.
"We are a family, we are a family originally." Zhu Yuanzhang said with certainty.
After some deep thought, Zhu Yuanzhang was 90% sure that the Zhu Ying in front of him was his eldest grandson.
As for why it can reach 90%.
This is what Zhu Ying told him through his own questioning.
In Zhu Ying's question, he did not strongly emphasize that he was not the eldest grandson.
Instead, he was carefully asking about Da Sun's situation.
For example, we asked at the beginning if the eldest grandson was missing.
Then he asked when he disappeared.
It seems normal, but it is not.
Of course, this alone is not enough.
Later, when I heard that he had died young, his first reaction was that the body was missing.
Then he asked about the specific location of the burial.
It sounds like there is no problem.
But after thinking about it deeply, I realized something was wrong.
Because from one perspective, Zhu Ying admitted her mistake at the beginning.
When asked later, it was curiosity about Da Sun's situation rather than a confident and strong rebuttal.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a little presbyopic, he could still see clearly at such a close distance.
When he heard about the burial location, Zhu Yuanzhang caught the hint of disappointment in Da Sun's eyes.
Intuition told Zhu Yuanzhang that there was definitely something wrong with Zhu Ying's life experience.
And Zhu Yuanzhang never doubted his intuition.
The victory of too many battles was Zhu Yuanzhang's intuition.
Things like intuition may sound a bit illusory, but Zhu Yuanzhang firmly believed in it and never doubted it.
Plus Zhu Ying's appearance and temperament.
It is simply not something that an ordinary businessman can have.
It can only mean that at the age of eight, his temperament has already been finalized.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang just skips the process and directly decides on the result.
Zhu Ying is his eldest grandson.
Although this process must be very bizarre, Zhu Yuanzhang has plenty of time to conduct detailed investigations.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's mood stabilized.
Zhu Ying also began to tell her life experience.
My mother died in childbirth, my father took me into business since I was a child, and what happened next?
Zhu Yuanzhang listened, but his face was a little sad.
My eldest grandson is a member of the royal family, but his life is not easy.
Zhu Ying's narration sounds like his personal experience.
But Zhu Yuanzhang soon discovered that the experiences Zhu Ying recounted seemed to have happened after he was ten years old.
As for those before the age of ten, especially those who were childhood playmates, they kept silent about them.
Are you really not telling me, or are you saying you don’t know?
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Zhu Ying and did not care about it.
As the emperor of the Ming Empire, he will conduct a detailed investigation.
"Old man, if you're bored, I'll come and sit here more often. Unfortunately, it's a little late today. When will you come over next time, please let me know first. I'll prepare the tea house's specialty breakfast for you."
Zhu Ying said politely.
In Zhu Ying's eyes, the old man in front of him might be his second uncle or third uncle or something like that.
His status is sufficient.
There is no harm in making many friends.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded and affirmed: "Of course I will come here often."
If there were not many state affairs in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang would even want to stay in this teahouse every day and be with his eldest grandson.
After leaving the teahouse, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Jiang Yu next to him: "Send the Fourth Brother over and ask him to come to the palace to see us immediately."
