The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 151 Grandpa, I'm Sorry (Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the year)

Daming is currently the largest and most powerful country in the world, and its capital palace is not only grand in scale, but also a master of palace architecture.

The Jingshi Imperial Palace has created a model in which the central axis from south to north coincides with the axis of the whole city. This model of the integration of the palace and the city axis is not only the result of Nanjing's special geographical conditions, but also a masterpiece that follows the etiquette system, echoes the sky, and conforms to the natural construction. .

For most tributary states, it also has a great influence.

For example, the layout and shape of palace buildings such as the Gyeongbokgung Palace to be built behind Goryeo, the Forbidden City in Hue, Annan, and Shuri Castle in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, took Yingtianfu as his capital, and built Zhongdu City in Fengyang the following year.

Since all manpower and material resources were concentrated on the construction of the city and palace of the central capital, the expansion of the Nanjing Palace was once again terminated.Only necessary repairs were made to the existing palace in the following years.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up his plan to build the central capital and concentrated his efforts on building Nanjing.

In this construction, two gates on the left and right of Meridian Gate were added, east and west corner gates were added on the left and right of Fengtian Gate, and buildings such as Wenhua Hall and Wuying Hall were added.

This year, in the 25th year of Hongwu, another addition was made. A palace wall was added outside the imperial city, and the inner part of the new wall was called the imperial city. The original imperial city was renamed Miyagi.

In front of Miyagi, Duanmen, Chengtianmen and Jinshui Bridge were built, forming a T-shaped square and reaching Hongwumen in the south.

There are five departments on the east side of the square, the Ministry of Punishment is outside the Taiping Gate in the north of the imperial city, and the governor's office of the five armies is on the west side.

This is not the first time Zhu Ying has been here, but the last time she just passed through Chengtian Gate and went to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

"Where is this?"

Zhu Ying lifted the curtain on the carriage, glanced outside and asked.

"Your Highness, the Fengtian Gate is in front of you. After passing through the Fengtian Gate, you will be a grand nephew." Liu He replied softly.

Zhu Ying nodded, and just watched the Fengtian Gate open in front of him, and then the carriage drove directly in.

After entering the Fengtian Gate, it was Fengtian Square, and the carriage stopped before driving very far.

Liu He stepped out of the carriage first, and then stood aside respectfully, while Zhu Ying stepped down from the carriage.

The first thing that catches the eye is the little lights, the candles in the stone pillars are all lit, and the vastness of Fengtian Square can be vaguely seen in the dark night.

Zhu Ying turned around, and there was a relatively long step ahead, and the path was clear under the lights.

Looking up, there are three gates.

Here is the place where civil and military officials meet.

Zhu Ying did not expect that the first stop he came to the Daming Palace was Fengtian Hall.

I thought I would go to the Hall of Renzhi first to see my father's coffin.

"Your Highness." Liu He next to him called softly, bringing Zhu Ying back from her reverie.

Looking at the steps in front of her, Zhu Ying took a deep breath.

This place is the most powerful place in Ming Dynasty today, and even in the whole world. Even a person like Zhu Ying, against the backdrop of the majestic buildings around here, can't help feeling a little jealous.

Zhu Ying raised her foot and walked up the steps step by step.

In his previous life, he had never been to the Forbidden City, although the blueprint of the Forbidden City was the Nanjing Forbidden City.

Such a wonderful feeling can only be experienced when you really walk on it.

Soon, Zhu Ying walked to the gate of the main hall.

Now the three gates are closed tightly, and at the gate in the middle, there are two eunuchs waiting respectfully. Seeing Zhu Ying, he prostrated himself to the ground immediately and called him His Highness.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After the two eunuchs got up, they took small steps to the middle gate and opened it together.

Of the three gates of Fengtian Temple, the middle gate can only be entered by members of the royal family with sufficient weight, such as vassal kings, or civil servants and military generals who have made great achievements.

Zhu Ying, the eldest grandson of Huang Ming, naturally walked in through this door.

After entering the door, the scene in Fengtian Hall was reflected in Zhu Ying's eyes.

Because of the brightness of the candles, even if all of them were lit, there were still some dark corners around, and with the solemn and solemn decorations around, it made people feel a sense of splendor.

At the forefront, Zhu Yuanzhang is wearing a uniform with his back to Zhu Ying.

In the entire Fengtian Temple, there are only Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Grandpa, what are you doing, you are still so formal."

Zhu Ying was quite speechless. What does the old man intend to do with this gesture of turning his back on all living beings.

Zhu Yuanzhang's body trembled slightly, and he turned around helplessly. The majesty on his face disappeared immediately the moment he turned around.

"We just want you to feel the feeling of being in the palace. How about it? Does it have a particularly majestic feeling?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang faces his eldest grandson, his face will always be that of an amiable grandfather.

Let the grandson attack today. After finishing the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang changed from the normal uniform he was wearing to the Dagon uniform, just to give the grandson a different self.

Let you take a good look at the majesty and arrogance of our Ming emperor.

Young and old, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is about to turn 65 years old, put aside the aura of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, deep down in his heart, he is no different from the grandfather of ordinary people.

At such an age, it is quite normal for a child-like teasing mentality to appear in his personality.

Of course, in Zhu Yuanzhang's case, only Zhu Ying can understand such a gesture at present.

Only in front of Zhu Ying can he open his heart, let go of everything, and be the Zhu Chongba he once was.

"Very majestic, very domineering, very good-looking."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying agreed with the old man and said with a smile.

When Zhu Yuanzhang came over, he saw the white plain clothes worn by the grandson, and his eyes flashed with relief.

At the same time, he pointed to the dragon chair on the Golden Luan Hall and said to the grandson, "Would you like to go up and sit for a while?"

Zhu Ying looked up at the dragon chair, without any nostalgia in her eyes, and replied: "The future is still very long."

He didn't know if the old man was taking the school exam or what.

But with such a black lamp, how does it feel to sit on it? Besides, the real representative of power itself is not this dragon chair, but the emperor himself.

Can't really control the civil and military ministers, or even the military power, even if they sit on it, it's no different from a puppet.

"Yes, the grandson will sit on this dragon chair for a long time in the future, let's go, let's take you to meet your father first."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Dasun's attitude towards the dragon chair makes him feel very gratified. Only when he truly recognizes power can he grasp it.

Rather than relying on ostentatious majesty.

Zhu Ying nodded, and followed the old man towards the apse.

When he was walking to the door, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped, turned his head and pointed to the dragon chair and said, "We wrote a posthumous edict on the back of the dragon chair."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and said with some emotion: "After all, we are old, and we can't refuse to accept our old age. If there is any accident, Dasun can use the will to rectify his name."

"Grandpa, what did you say? With your current body, you must have started at the age of a hundred, and there are still many decades left." Zhu Yingying said angrily.

"Our eldest grandson is right, we have to live to be a hundred years old, not only to hold our great-grandson, but also to see our great-grandson grow up."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered, and said to his grandson in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "You know, at your age, other people's children can run around all over the place, and you don't even have a daughter-in-law now. What a system."

Zhu Ying was speechless, unexpectedly being urged to marry again.

However, facing the old man's words, Zhu Ying turned around and said: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, I still count on my grandfather for this marriage. How can I blame me for this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss for words, hesitated for a long time and finally found himself powerless to refute, and dropped a sentence: "We will find you a daughter-in-law tomorrow."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a lantern next to him, and walked straight forward without looking back.

The corners of Zhu Ying's mouth turned up, she smiled triumphantly, and followed closely behind.

The Hall of Renzhi passes through the middle right gate of Fengtian Hall, and is located to the north of Wuying Hall, adjacent to Fengxian Hall.

Even when the emperor passed away, the coffin was also parked here, so it is relatively close to the Fengtian Hall, which is convenient for the officials to express their condolences.

On this short road, Zhu Yuanzhang was like a guide, and there were no eunuchs around him. He introduced every detail of the palace to his grandson, and even the patrolling guards would say a few words.

While chatting, they soon arrived at the gate of the Hall of Renzhi.

At the gate of the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice lowered and then fell silent.

Zhu Ying didn't speak either, and followed silently into the hall.

The hall is brightly lit, more than a dozen eunuchs are waiting, and several eminent monks are chanting scriptures. After entering, there is a strong Zen fragrance.

"Let's all go back."

"According to the order."

Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly after entering, and everyone retreated one by one.

Zhu Ying walked slowly to the coffin, knelt down and kowtowed.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was already in tears and his voice was choked up.

"Biao'er, have you seen it, your hero, he is back, open your eyes and have a look! We didn't lie to you, he is really back."

"Why did you go so early, you can't stay longer, look at Xiongying, the eldest sister left, you left us alone, if the eldest grandson hadn't returned, we wouldn't know how to survive. "

"Your Xiongying was only eight years old when he left. For ten years, he has suffered so much at such a young age!"

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned against the coffin, with his hands empty-handed, depicting the size of Zhu Xiongying when he was eight years old.

"Biao'er, do you know that this child Xiongying really looks too much like you, so much like you!!!"

"You look like your mother, and Xiongying even more so. Back then, your mother loved Xiongying as much as she looked at her own child."

"We still remember, you said that your parents doted on Xiongying too much, but your mother looked at Xiongying, as if she was born by herself, how could she not dote on Xiongying?"

"Especially the eyebrows, it looks almost the same as your mother when she was young."

Zhu Yuanzhang chattered, crying for a while and laughing for a while.

After Zhu Ying kowtowed, he just stayed quietly and didn't get up to comfort the old man. He knew that what the old man needed at this time was to vent his emotions.

This kind of venting is worse than being blocked, and venting can also relieve the depression in the heart.

"It's all right now. The eldest grandson is back. There are successors to the Ming Empire. We feel that we have settled down here. Just now, the eldest grandson was still blaming us for not arranging a wife for him."

"Tomorrow, let's go find a wife for our great-grandson, and give birth to our great-grandson as soon as possible, so that we can enjoy the happiness again."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a tearful smile.

However, just after I finished speaking, I started to feel sad again. Thinking of the joy of raising the baby with the eldest sister, I said sadly: "It would be great if the eldest sister was still there. We don't know if we can take care of the baby alone."

"You don't know, at that time we and the eldest sister were taking Xiongying."

Zhu Yuanzhang narrated alone, the tears gradually dried up, and the corners of his eyes were smiling.

His eyes were a little empty, as if he saw all the joy that happened ten years ago.

After half an hour, it stopped.

But when Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and looked at Zhu Ying about to say something, he suddenly stopped when he saw Zhu Ying's calm face.

Zhu Ying also felt the old man's gaze, and after a little silence, she said softly, "Grandpa, I'm sorry."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this sorry, a look of loneliness appeared on his face, and he replied after a while: "We understand, we understand."

An apology flashed across Zhu Ying's face, he really couldn't empathize.

For Zhu Ying, although the person lying in the coffin in front of him is his biological father, when it comes to feelings, he really has nothing.

Prince Zhu Biao is just a name and a title to Zhu Ying.

He can pretend to be sad, wail loudly, and cry bitterly, but such behavior is too fake.

Maybe the old man will be a little relieved now, but Zhu Ying doesn't like this kind of affectation.

Even emotionally, it was a kind of deception to the old man.

Even if it is like the old man, after getting along for a long time and gradually recognizing it, the relationship gradually deepens.

"You are a good boy, but no matter what, this is your biological father. Give your father a stick of incense." Zhu Yuanzhang took the bamboo incense from the side and handed it to Zhu Ying and said.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew in his heart that the eldest grandson grew up with him and the eldest sister since childhood, and was taken away almost immediately after birth.

In the days that followed, there were not too many interactions with Zhu Biao and even the Chang family.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the eldest sister are already fully performing the role of parents.

Even if the eldest grandson really recovered his memory, I am afraid that he would not have many memories of his father, because there were few in the first place.

Zhu Ying took the bamboo incense and kowtowed again after offering the incense.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly and didn't say much. After Zhu Ying kowtowed his head, he said, "Let's go, let's take you to the place where you grew up when you were a child. Maybe you can think of something."

Zhu Ying got up, nodded slightly, and walked out of the hall with the old man, towards Kunning Palace.

When he reached the gate of the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and soon Liu He came out from the corner with a lantern to guide Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying forward.

After passing through the rear right door, you will find the Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace behind the Jinshen Hall.

There are two options to reach Kunning Palace, one is to go through the corridor next to the palace, bypass Qianqing Palace and go directly through the side door of Kunning Palace.

Also, go through the Qianqing Palace first, and the back door is the Kunning Palace.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang would not take his eldest grandson through the corridor, he would naturally go through the main entrance of Qianqing Palace.

As the main palace gate of the inner court, Qianqing Gate also has three gates.

Different from ordinary people, sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang would call ministers to hold meetings here, and most of them were the princes and grandchildren.

When Zhu Ying was standing under the steps of Qianqing Gate, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her mind, as if being pricked by a needle.

"Dasun, what's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with concern when he saw Dasun suddenly frowning and frowning, who had been beside Zhu Ying.

"Grandson, it seems that I thought of something just now."
