"I am already sixty-eight years old, and I am twenty-eight years after my destiny!"
"I was a miserable young man, and in my prime years I joined the army to conquer the world. I have not dared to slack off in government affairs for decades. However, the sky does not holiday, the heaven and the earth will last forever, and the longevity and fortune of a person are determined!"
"Today, I am old and my energy is quite low. Huang Taisun has grown up, and he is strong and majestic, which is the sign of a wise king!"
"A special edict is issued to all ministers. From now on, the emperor's grandson will supervise the country and may use the jade seal to pass down the country. All major military and state affairs will be reported to the emperor's grandson for his decision!"
"All ministers, nobles, and even the Ming Dynasty vassal kings who dare to neglect their duties or harbor evil intentions will be punished by heaven and earth when they see the emperor's grandson as if they were seeing me!"
Outside the Fengtian Hall, densely packed people were kneeling, including the central officials of the Ming Dynasty, the founding generals, the vassal kings who had not yet been enfeoffed, and the grandsons of the emperors who were studying in Beijing.
Pu Bucheng stood outside the palace, holding the imperial edict in his hand and reading loudly.
The old man was leaning against the window on the second floor of the palace, squinting at the courtiers who were kneeling to listen to the order.
Although the ministers were kneeling, the expressions on their faces could be seen clearly by the old man.
The old man found that many of them had expressions of ecstasy.
Although the civil servants and bureaucrats pretended to be sad because of the emperor's illness, they could not hide the joy in their eyes.
"Yes, they have been looking forward to our eldest grandson's accession to the throne."
A smile appeared on the old man's pale face. The emperor's grandson was the one they had seen since childhood. He was the direct grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the most legitimate heir. More importantly, the emperor's grandson was also raised by them. He was the one in their hearts.
I believe that a monarch who will be kind will appear in the future.
There is another most important reason...
"We kill too many people, are too harsh on our ministers, and don't care about them. They may feel that they are much more relaxed under our eldest grandson than under me, and they won't put their lives in danger at every turn!"
The old man sneered in his heart, "But, you are wrong. Our eldest grandson has nothing to say about being virtuous and caring for the people, but when it comes to corrupt officials, he is the same as our old Zhu. He is decisive and decisive in his heart.
It’s exactly the same as us.”
"Besides, our eldest grandson is much more thoughtful than me. No one can fool him!"
Leaning against the window, the old man laughed silently.
Then, his eyes fell on the founding heroes, and suddenly became a little cold.
"Are you happy too?"
The emperor's grandson was particularly kind to the old officials, especially those who were the founders of the Ming Dynasty. He could tolerate even some minor mistakes, and he paid special attention to military affairs. He had no idea that the nobles and the military were inferior.
Although these veterans who founded the country fought with the old man to conquer the world, it is inevitable that they will have some resentment in their hearts because of the mass killing of heroes over the years.
"You killers!"
The old man said angrily in his heart, "Humph, you all know each other, you are all afraid of our eldest grandson, and you all respect our eldest grandson. Otherwise, how could you be here today?"
Then, I felt a little proud in my heart, "In this world, my late legitimate son can sit still and be stable. As for our grandson, he can sit still! The Ming Dynasty that we have worked so hard to build will last for thousands of generations and tens of thousands of years!"
At this time, the old man suddenly became furious.
He suddenly felt a bit sad, "We are sick, and these people are just pretending! They only care about themselves, no one cares about our life or death!"
"We haven't passed the throne to our eldest grandson yet, and these people have started to be happy. When I die, they may be so happy in their hearts! They only see the new king, not me!"
At this time, the attic door was pushed open silently.
Zhu Yunxi almost trotted in, holding a steaming blue and white bowl.
"Grandpa Huang, the medicine is ready!" Zhu Yunxi put the medicine bowl on the table, then quickly waved his hand and put it to his mouth while blowing.
The old man looked over and saw that Zhu Yunxi's fingers were slightly red from the heat from the medicine bowl.
"Hey, we have already said that these things are for the slaves to do, so you can do whatever you are supposed to do!" The old man glared and said, "You are in charge of the country now!" As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked like a child and blew air on his fingers.
, said distressedly, "But it's hot? You're such an adult and still so frizzy, why don't you wrap a towel around it and it won't be hot!"
"The imperial doctor said that this medicine must be served while it's hot!" Zhu Yunxi picked up a silver spoon and slowly stirred the thick soup.
The old man smiled and said, "I told you, I just need the servants to take care of you!"
"This is what you put in your mouth. Your grandson doesn't dare to hand it over to anyone else!" Zhu Yunxi took a spoonful of medicine and said with a smile, "Besides, if your grandson is here, he will naturally take care of you." As he said this, he slowly said to him.
He blew on the hot concoction and said, "It's a bit hot. My grandson will cool it down for you!"
Looking at this scene, the old man's face was full of love, joy and appropriateness.
After having children for decades, why?
Isn’t this what raising children means to prepare for old age?
There have been so many emperors throughout the ages, no matter what their great martial arts, but who has such good fortune!
"State affairs are important!" the old man said softly.
Zhu Yunxi puffed and said with a smile, "No state affairs are as important as you!"
"Nonsense, you are now a prisoner of the country!"
"I am your grandson first, and then the emperor's grandson! Not to mention supervising the country by decree, even if your grandson is the Jade Emperor, you are also his grandson's grandfather. When a grandson serves his grandfather, shouldn't he be treated accordingly?" Zhu Yunxi smiled,
He handed over the medicine spoon and said, "Grandpa, open your mouth, ah!"
"You are coaxing the child!" The old man grinned, then opened his mouth and drank the medicinal soup.
As soon as the medicinal soup entered my stomach, my old face suddenly wrinkled into orange peel, and I curled my lips and said, "Eh, it's bitter!"
"Good medicine tastes bitter. The imperial doctor said that you will be fine after drinking the medicine!" Zhu Yunxi continued to feed, "Here, drink more!"
The old man took another hesitant sip and kept waving his hands, "No, no, it's too bitter! It tastes like medicinal soup at best, and it makes us sick!"
"Grandpa Huang, just be patient and it will be fine. You have been a hero all your life, what does this bitter medicine soup mean?" Zhu Yunxi consoled him with a smile.
Glancing at the two kilogram medicine bowl, the old man frowned and said, "Drink all of it?" He said, shaking his head, "That's about right! Grandson, you can't believe everything the doctor says. What they say is weird, but it's actually practical.
Don’t drink so much!”
"We know our body, and minor illnesses and disasters will be over as soon as they last!"
Old children are old children, and old people are children when they are old.
"Grandpa Huang, please be obedient!" Zhu Yunxi sat on the bedside with a straight face, "This is not a minor illness of yours. You have been suffering from it all your life, and you are still afraid of this medicine?"
After being scolded by his grandson, the old man couldn't keep it off his face and muttered, "Damn it, are you in charge of us?"
Even so, he still took another sip obediently.
"Oh, I can't, the gallbladder is broken, it's too painful!" The old man turned slightly sideways on the bed and waved his hands, "We are not afraid of anything, we are just afraid of suffering!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly and shook his head, shouting outside the hall, "Ning'er, bring some frosting sugar from Ryukyu!"
Then he said to the old man, "This medicine was prepared by your granddaughter-in-law herself. She has been busy on the stove for more than an hour. If you don't drink it, wouldn't you be betraying your granddaughter-in-law's kindness? Everyone is looking forward to it."
Hope you get well soon!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxi gently squeezed the old man's hand and said, "Grandpa Huang, the Chinese New Year will be here in two months. The whole family is looking forward to you being strong and spending the New Year together with everyone!"
After saying these words, the old man's heart melted.
Lowered his head, "Yeah!"
At the door, Zhao Ning'er came in holding a porcelain jar, knelt beside the bed, and also used a small spoon to scoop out some frosting sugar.
The grandson brings medicine and the grandson's wife brings sweets, which makes the old man's heart feel as warm as a fire bed.
"Grandpa Huang, open your mouth!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Hey, it's bitter!"
"Well, this is too sweet!"
The old man took a sip of medicine first, then a sip of candy. He smacked his lips and twitched his eyebrows, "This candy is too sweet! Come on, go get us some tangerines!"
"Tangerines are not good!" Zhu Yunxi said seriously, "That thing is incompatible with this medicine and will dissolve the medicine's power!"
After saying that, he smiled again and said, "Grandpa Huang, whether it's bitter or sweet, isn't there always bitterness and sweetness in life? Drink it!"
"You're such a mouthful, you've already told me the truth!" the old man scolded, lowered his head and drank the soup one mouthful at a time.
Resisting the turmoil in his stomach, the old man raised his head and saw Concubine Guo Hui leaning against the door frame crying like rain.
"Why are you howling? I'm not dead yet!" the old man said angrily.
"Brother-in-law!" Guo Huifei suddenly cried and shouted, then walked in quickly, sat down next to the old man, and put the old man's head on her lap.
Oops, Zhu Yunxi blushed and didn't dare to look.
The old man struggled, "What are you doing? The junior is here to watch!" Although he was scolding, he seemed to feel very comfortable and moved up on his own initiative.
"We are all from our own family, who is laughing at us!" Guo Huifei wiped her tears, "You scared me to death! You are not allowed to get sick again in the future!"
The old man grinned and smiled, "A small illness! It's not like you don't know our body, it's as if it's made of iron!"
He was smiling, but suddenly he couldn't laugh anymore.
The eldest grandson and his wife both lowered their heads and grinned happily.
