Zhu Xi lay on the ground. When he was being beaten with random sticks, he did not dare to dodge and endured it forcefully.
Not to mention beating him half to death, the internal injuries were definitely beaten out.
He still didn't dare to say anything.
In fact, as far as Zhu Xi is concerned now, being beaten up is already a lot better.
This is how people are, when facing the unknown, they become even more fearful.
But when fear comes, it's not so scary anymore.
Feeling that his father had stopped to rest, he quietly turned his head to watch.
My father was leaning on the desk, obviously a little tired.
Zhu Xi wanted to say a few words, but hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything. He knew the important point about the jade pendant and hadn't come yet.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stop crying after he finished spanking his dick.
The killing stick was thrown aside, the jade pendant was broken, and his heart broke.
"We had nothing at that time, but Mengtang and his brothers remembered us and sent us a letter asking us to join Duke Guo's Red Scarf Army."
"We are neither greedy for credit nor money. We share our profits with many brothers. After gaining a good reputation, Mr. Guo refused to give up and betrothed his eldest sister to us."
"Being able to marry a big girl is the greatest pride in our lives. You don't know how beautiful the big girl was at that time. We fell in love with her at first sight."
"For a country guy like us, it's true that we are trying to reach a higher level."
"The name Zhu Guorui was given to me by my eldest sister after I got married."
"For many years, the eldest sister has never left us, sharing weal and woe. The children are all taken by the eldest sister. We are fighting in the front, and the eldest sister is in charge of the rear, making suggestions."
"Without a big girl, how could we have such a great Ming Dynasty?"
"The happiest time of our Sonar life is when our eldest grandson is born and he and his eldest sister bring him up together."
"It's God's punishment for us. The eldest grandson died young, and the eldest sister also followed him."
Zhu Yuanzhang said nonchalantly, as if he was talking to Zhu Ping, more like he was talking to himself.
Zhu Ping was lying on his knees, listening to his father talking about the past, and the fear in his heart gradually deepened.
He understood that all this was just the calm before the storm.
Zhu Ping was also very close and dependent on his mother.
At this time, his heart was also full of regret and guilt.
When Zhu Xi was young, Empress Ma took care of her.
He also felt very uncomfortable after breaking the jade pendant that his father loved and missed so much.
"Fortunately, my eldest grandson is back again. We finally have new hope in our hearts. These days are becoming more and more promising."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed and said.
When Zhu Xi heard this, he was confused.
But I quickly realized that maybe I missed my father too much and was a little confused.
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he thought of his second son again.
He turned around and scolded: "You bastard, you are so majestic, and you want your eldest nephew to make cakes for your concubine. Can she afford it?"
"That is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Who is she? She can let our eldest grandson make cakes for him."
Zhu Xi lay on the ground in a daze.
He couldn't help but ask: "Father, that teahouse was opened by Yunwen. I asked about it and found that the teahouse is the property of my fourth brother. How could Yunwen go there?"
Zhu Xi was somewhat aware of the minor conflicts between his fourth brother Zhu Di and his nephew Zhu Yunzhen.
Besides, with the character of his nephew Zhu Yunwen, how could he go to the teahouse to make breakfast?
This is absolutely impossible.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and scolded: "That is our eldest grandson, Xiongying. Your eldest brother's eldest son, our eldest grandson. The eldest grandson that your mother and I raised ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi's eyes suddenly widened, he forgot the current situation, and retorted:
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. I saw it with my own eyes when my eldest nephew was buried."
"After staying in the funeral palace for nearly ten days, even if it is a real fake death, it has become a real death."
"Even if we hadn't discovered it at the time, the coffin was so thick. Not to mention that my eldest nephew was only that young back then. Even a strong general wouldn't have been able to get out of it."
"Even if I could get out, I remember that the day after the burial, the earth dragon rolled in Zhongshan, and my eldest nephew's tomb collapsed."
"If we take another 10,000 steps back, our eldest nephew will be lucky enough to come out of the mausoleum, and he won't be able to live outside."
"The Xiaoling Guards are so guarded that even an eight-year-old child or a military scout cannot sneak in."
"Besides, even if he really comes out of Xiaoling, even the eldest nephew has lost his memory. He is wearing the clothes of the Ming Dynasty royal family."
"Who wouldn't recognize it after seeing it? How could there not be any news about it?"
Having said this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Zhu Xi suddenly became excited, although he still did not dare to get up.
His tone lost the trembling and timid tone before, and contained a vague hint of enlightenment:
"Father, this is definitely a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy."
After saying these words, Zhu Xiang's mind suddenly opened up.
"So many coincidences, so many impossibilities add up to an absolute impossibility."
"Father, please think about it, why has it been ten years since my eldest nephew disappeared? There has been no news for ten whole years. This is absolutely impossible."
"The timing of his appearance was such a coincidence. My eldest brother had just passed away from illness, and he appeared right now. Why is it such a coincidence? There is definitely a conspiracy, a big conspiracy."
"This person can't be the eldest nephew. It's possible that he was created by the remnants of the Meng Yuan Dynasty. Those shamans and priests used some hidden and secret methods."
"They must have done it. They are trying to destroy our country!"
"Father, you must not be deceived."
Zhu Ping's tone revealed firmness, and his doubts and thoughts were logical and without any flaws.
Because he was watching, he could see very clearly and was not influenced by his emotions.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that he has never met or contacted Zhu Ying.
But from this perspective, it's full of suspense.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's intelligence, how could he not know this?
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang did not announce Zhu Ying's identity for a long time and directly summoned him to the palace.
He knew very well that before there was any absolute evidence, he rashly summoned the eldest grandson into the palace and even named him the grandson of the emperor.
It will definitely be opposed by the civil and military ministers, including the noble royal family.
Once this kind of turmoil spreads, it will be very detrimental to the succession of the great grandson.
When he was there, he could still forcefully suppress it.
But he is not young anymore, and Zhu Yuanzhang also knows his physical condition and life expectancy.
After his death and his eldest grandson succeeding to the throne, the Ming Empire would easily fall into turmoil.
If one thing is bad, it may fall apart.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not and could not accept such a price.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel angry after hearing the second son's impassioned objection.
He shouted loudly: "Come here, drag this traitor out and behead him."
Zhu Xiang shuddered when he heard this, and immediately said solemnly: "Father, I am wrong. He is my eldest nephew. He is absolutely so. There is no way anyone can pretend to be him."
