The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 125 Grandpa, I Had a Dream
"Grandpa, last night I had a dream, a very long dream."

After chatting for a while, Zhu Ying thought about it in her heart and said.

The carriage was moving forward steadily. Obviously, there was no shock absorber at this time. Being able to be so stable showed that the groom who drove the carriage was definitely a master.

Of course, he is not a master, and he is not qualified to be a coachman for the old man.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became interested, and when he saw Dasun's expression, he suddenly became serious.

Asked: "What dream did Da Sun have yesterday?"

Zhu Ying didn't answer immediately, but looked forward slightly, looking a little empty, as if recalling the plot of the dream.

After a while, he said leisurely: "I dreamed of many soldiers wearing the costumes of Ming soldiers, crying to me. At a glance, there are as many as a thousand of them."

"Their bodies are covered with dirt and dirt. It seems that they are enduring boundless pain and torture, as if there is a lingering resentment, full of grievances."

Speaking of this, Zhu Ying's eyes even showed very obvious horror.

He said with a trembling tone: "The gray sky has no moonlight or starlight, and the soil on the ground is somewhat black. Except for those soldiers, there is no living thing."

"They told me that there is no reincarnation, no life and death in the place where it is located, only pain and torture exist all the time."

"The piercing cold wind howled, like a hidden blade cutting, even in the dream, I felt unparalleled pain."

"Those soldiers formed a human wall to help me block the cold wind, and at the same time shouted for me to leave and never go there again."

"At this moment, I really want to fly, farther and farther away. The whole land is more and more clear before my eyes."

"There are countless people there. Around the officers and soldiers, there are also those wearing the costumes of court ladies and eunuchs. Their figures are strange. Farther away, there are countless vague figures, but the grandson can no longer see clearly."

"I woke up from the bed, thinking it was just a rather weird dream."

"However, my right arm was so sore that I rolled up my sleeve and couldn't see any scars."

"The grandson remembers clearly that the pain in his right arm was the one he injured in his dream."

Zhu Ying finished speaking in one breath, and the more she spoke, the more frightened she became, and even her whole body trembled.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly held Zhu Ying's hand.

Feeling the warmth brought by the old man's rough and big hands, Zhu Ying seemed to feel better.

"Grandson, it's because of this dream that you asked Jin Yiwei for Xiaoling's dossier."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was a little heavy.

From his point of view, this kind of nagging was obviously a warning, even a sign.

Da Sun spoke in such detail, obviously the memory is very deep, he must have seen it with his own eyes.

When Dasun talked about thousands of soldiers covered in mud, Zhu Yuanzhang also noticed who Dasun was talking about.

"Yes, the clothes in the grandson's dream are very familiar, and they obviously belong to the Xiaoling Guard, so that's why I feel strange." Zhu Ying's mood seemed to have stabilized a lot, and she replied in a clear tone.

"Could it be that the place you went to, grandson, is where the underworld is?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking.

Zhu Ying shook her head and said, "At first my grandson thought so, but those soldiers told me that it's not an underworld, but a gap between heaven and earth."

"It's called the place of burial, and all those who died because of burial will go there, and they will never be reborn." Zhu Ying recalled and explained.

"The place of burial." Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but read a sentence, and then said: "That is to say, the person who was buried will not go to the underworld, but will leave and go to this place of burial."

Zhu Ying nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, not only that, their resentment will consume the sinful virtue of the martyr."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Did the eldest grandson also hurt his virtue by them?"

Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, don't worry, with the protection of those soldiers, my grandson has not been harmed, it's just that."

"Just what." Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.

"It's just that grandson wants to ask grandpa to take out their bones and bury them, so that they can escape eternal torture and enter reincarnation." Zhu Ying said solemnly.

"It should be so. We will arrange people to take out their bones." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

Then he said with some doubts: "The sacrificial burial does not enter reincarnation, why did the previous court so respectful of sacrificial burial?"

Zhu Ying pondered slightly, and said: "Grandpa, when my grandson left, I looked at the place where I was buried, and all I saw were people wearing my Central Plains costumes, and I have never seen people in foreign costumes."

"Perhaps, this is because we, the descendants of Shenzhou, only worship heaven and earth, ancestors, and sages. Unlike other races, it is related to our belief in ghosts and gods."

Zhu Ying expressed her guess.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being a little angry when he heard the words, and said: "It's so, Meng Yuan misunderstood me. If the grandson didn't see it, we would still be kept in the dark by the previous court."

"This may have something to do with my death once. If not, I'm afraid I wouldn't know it. It's not too late now."

Seeing that the old man had obviously believed the white lie he had woven, Zhu Ying felt relieved, and then asked with some concern, "I don't know grandma."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew what the grandson meant, and said: "There is no need to worry about it. Your grandma is kind-hearted, but no one died."

Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said: "Grandpa, my grandson is bold. This kind of people's martyrdom was initiated in ancient times, and after many years, it was gradually abolished. Obviously, there are people who have attained the Tao and are aware of this martyrdom just like my grandson. land."

"Since Tang and Song Dynasties, foreign tribes invaded our Central Plains and brought this kind of human sacrifice tradition. Therefore, Sun Er believes that this kind of human sacrifice system should be abolished, so as not to waste morality for nothing."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded seriously. He obviously believed in Dasun's words.

Besides, the grandsons are all people who have died once, so there will be some special things in the future.

He just didn't expect that the Meng Yuan dynasty was so vicious that they used sacrifices to deceive the Central Plains.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this is the Mongolian Yuan and other foreign races who want to consume the Yin virtues of the Central Plains with burial, so as to occupy the land of China for a long time.

Seeing that the old man approved of this statement, Zhu Ying couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Don't blame me for lying to you, old man, it's just that this sacrificial burial system is too cruel and inhumane.It should have been abolished long ago.

In fact, it is difficult for Zhu Ying to accept many systems in Ming Dynasty today.

It's just that food needs to be eaten at a bite, and Lu has to walk step by step.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. Some things are useless to be rushed, and need to be resolved slowly.

At this time, the carriage gradually stopped, and it was obvious that the gunpowder department had arrived.

Coming here with the old man this time, it feels completely different.

After getting off the carriage, there were already more than a dozen eunuchs and dozens of soldiers waiting outside.

Seeing the old man, Shan shouted long live.

Good guy, this is the first time Zhu Ying has seen such a scene, it really is majestic.

He followed the old man into the room until he reached the lobby of the Gunpowder Department, and then he sat down.

"The gunpowder granules we asked you to make have already been done. Bring them here and show us." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't talk nonsense, and ordered directly.

"The minister obeys the order."

A eunuch had obviously prepared it long ago, holding it on a wooden tray with a red cloth on it, and a tray full of black powder particles on it.

"Da Sun, let's see if this is the gunpowder particles you mentioned." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang's big grandson immediately stunned all the eunuchs.

Including the commander of the Guarding Gunpowder Department, the commander was shocked.

Although the Gunpowder Department is isolated from the outside world, it does not mean that it cannot reach the palace.

Especially the eunuchs, I am afraid that they are much clearer than Zhu Yuanzhang about the princes and grandchildren in the palace, and the concubines in the harem.

This is what they have to learn on the first day they enter the palace.

The prince who came with His Majesty today felt a little familiar, but they couldn't grasp it.

Hearing His Majesty's grand grandson, everyone quickly recalled in their minds, but they couldn't remember Zhu Ying's identity.

Zhu Ying stepped forward, touched the granulated black powder with her hands, and even pinched it hard, feeling the general force before pinching it loose, which was relatively firm.

Many eunuchs did not dare to vent their anger, waiting for Zhu Ying to check.

This is an errand ordered by His Majesty himself, if it is done well, if it goes wrong, it is estimated that a bunch of people will suffer.

Watching Zhu Ying crush a small particle all at once, their hearts immediately rose to their throats.

Zhu Ying didn't think much about it, it was the first time he had seen this granulated gunpowder in his past and present lives.

Looking at it now is a little curious.

"Has the power been tested before, how much stronger than ordinary gunpowder?" After reading it, Zhu Ying asked casually.

These granulated black gunpowder are like sesame mung beans, there is no reason for it, and we have to experiment to know.

"This"

Several eunuchs from the Gunpowder Department looked at each other, and one of them clasped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, this granule of gunpowder has not been tried since it was made, and I don't know the power of it."

Zhu Ying was not surprised, and said directly: "Then find some gunners, come over and try to see how it works."

Hearing this, the eunuch subconsciously turned his gaze to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Look at what we are doing. In the future, our grandson will have the final say in the gunpowder department." Zhu Yuanzhang scolded.

"I obey the order." The eunuch was terrified by Zhu Yuanzhang's body, and hurriedly replied.

Then quickly arrange for the gunners to come over.

"Grandpa, let's go and have a look together."

"Okay, let's see if this grain of gunpowder is as magical as Da Sun said."

Under the leadership of the eunuch of the Gunpowder Department, the grandfather and grandson walked towards the open space dedicated to firearms testing.

When you come to this large open space.

The eunuchs had already arranged ten gunners, and ten gunners were ready.

"Let's try the firecracker first."

Zhu Ying said.

Ten gunmen held guns with one hand, and there was a stand in front of them, and a leather pouch for gunpowder was placed at their waists to attract incense.

After getting Zhu Ying's order, he quickly began to pour granules of black gunpowder into the firecracker, and then set it up and fixed it.

Then he took out the fire pocket, lit the incense, and prepared to light the fire.
