The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 152 Let's feel comfortable! (Ask for a monthly pass at the end of the year)

Undoubtedly, when Zhu Ying just crossed over, the original Zhu Xiongying was already dead.

According to later generations, it is already brain-dead, and perhaps the only thing that can move is the zombie cells in the brain.

But as time goes by, after the first seven, it is basically useless.

People's memories are stored in the brain, which is why Zhu Ying didn't get any memories about her predecessor when she crossed over.

If he had acquired this memory, Zhu Ying would not have to run around to survive, fight wild dogs for food, and complete the feat of clearing hell.

As the eldest grandson, he directly returned to the capital to inherit the throne, he is not good.

But obviously, the memory is not completely dissipated, and there will still be faint images after receiving relevant stimuli.

At the moment when Zhu Ying saw Qianqingmen, a vague scene appeared in her mind.

"Dasun, do you remember something?" Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked anxiously.

Of course he hoped that Dasun's memory would be fully restored, because only in this way, Dasun would remember his grandma's appearance and every bit of his life.

There was a trace of doubt on Zhu Ying's face, she didn't answer, but followed the scene in her memory, thinking about walking up the steps.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little excited and wanted to say something, but Liu He beside him hurriedly reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, His Highness Changsun is in a very strange state right now, please don't be disturbed."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately suppressed his agitated mood, and followed Zhu Ying gently.

At this moment, Zhu Ying had a very strange feeling, as if she was very familiar with this place, but Zhu Ying fully knew that she must have never been to the Daming Palace.

Not to mention this life, even when he visited Nanjing in his previous life, he only went to the memorial hall, but never to the ruins of the Ming Palace.

After all, the ruins of the Ming Palace Museum in later generations have long been in ruins.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Dasun up, only to see Dasun hesitated in front of the door, then walked behind the door on the left and squatted down.

Hands stroked it, as if feeling something.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became more and more excited, and he took the lantern in Liu He's hand, and then walked to the side of Dasun.

When the candlelight came, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Ying's hand, stroking a pattern that seemed to be carved by a knife.

"This turtle seems to be drawn by me." After touching the pattern, Zhu Ying said hesitantly.

Liu He was also at the side, looking at the pattern, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that it was a pattern of a turtle.

"It's Xiao Hei, Da Sun, you think of Xiao Hei."

Facing Zhu Ying, he seemed to be talking nonsense, but Zhu Yuanzhang's tone trembled a little.

Xiao Hei, a little long-lived tortoise sent by a tributary country, was seen by Zhu Xiongying who had just turned three years old at the time, and she wanted to ask for it.

If Dasun wanted it, it would naturally belong to Dasun. Because the turtle shell is pitch black, it is obviously a rare species, so it was named Xiao Hei.

Since then, this little longevity turtle has been kept in Kunning Palace. Zhu Xiongying likes it very much. He will play with it every day, and even let Xiao Hei fall asleep together in Kunning Palace many times.

If you can't see Xiao Hei, you will make noise.

And the pattern behind the Qianqing Gate was carved by Zhu Xiongying himself with a knife when he was seven years old.

Most people can't understand it, because what Zhu Xiongying carved is not a turtle, but the lines on the shell of a small black turtle.

Zhu Ying asked smoothly, "Grandpa, is this turtle still there?"

Turtles have a very long lifespan. Although I don’t know the size of the turtle species, but only ten years, any turtle is still alive.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the eldest grandson's question, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and then he said: "It's gone. At first we thought that the eldest grandson was going, and Xiao Hei liked it so much, so he let him go with you."

When the eldest grandson passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally distraught, not only the court ladies and eunuchs, but the tortoise that the eldest grandson loved was also buried together.

When Zhu Ying heard this, she didn't feel much. After all, she was just a pet of her predecessor.

"Grandpa, my grandson was a little dazed just now."

Thinking of the behavior just now, Zhu Ying got up and said apologetically.

"Don't worry, grandson, there will be plenty of time in the future, let's take you to familiarize yourself first, maybe you can think of some other things."

The excitement in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is simply indescribable.

The pattern on the corner behind the left door of Qianqing Gate is only known by Zhu Yuanzhang in the world today as the turtle painted by Dasun.

The other insiders were basically buried with the death of the grandson.

When Empress Ma was about to die, she asked Zhu Yuanzhang not to bury others for her sake.

But when the grandson Zhu Xiongying passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang proposed to be buried. Although Empress Ma couldn't bear it, she didn't object in the end, which shows how much she loves.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the grandson's hand and walked slowly into the Qianqing Palace.

There is still a big difference between the Daming Palace and the Beiping Palace cast by the later Zhu Di.

Unlike the Peking Imperial Palace, like the Qianqing Palace, there are many green plants and trees.

As Zhu Yuanzhang walked, he told his grandson interesting stories about his childhood.

Zhu Ying listened quietly, there was nothing unusual this time, nor did it bring back any memories.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been observing the grandson's demeanor, and he is inevitably a little disappointed seeing this.

"This is where we appraised the memorials at night. We still remember that every night, we are here to review the chapters. And you just sit there and draw on it with a pen."

"Many times we didn't pay attention, and the grandson took the memorial to paint, but it hurt the minister who wrote the memorial."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Although she knew that she didn't do it herself, Zhu Ying was somewhat embarrassed, which made Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing.

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled for a moment, and carefully pulled out a box from the bookshelf behind the desk.

"These are the paintings you left for us, grandson, and the enlightenment poems your grandma once wrote."

Zhu Yuanzhang held it carefully like a baby, and then handed it to Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying took the wooden box and opened it on the desk.

I saw that there were pieces of 'paintings' like graffiti.There are more than ten chapters, first-hand the first-hand enlightenment poems in beautiful fonts.

These poems were written by Empress Ma to Zhu Xiongying at that time.

When Zhu Ying flipped through the papers, she could clearly see that there seemed to be traces of water droplets on each piece of paper.

It is not difficult to imagine how many nights after Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma left, Zhu Yuanzhang cried bitterly while holding these leftover papers late at night.

On these papers, where is the water drop, it is clearly Zhu Yuanzhang's longing for countless nights.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but feel a little moved. This level of missing made him feel ashamed to accept it.

Because only he himself understood that these thoughts did not belong to him, but belonged to the real Zhu Xiongying at that time.

However, seeing the doting eyes of the old man, Zhu Ying couldn't help but shake slightly in her heart.

Whether it is Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, these are not important anymore.

"grandfather!"

At this time, Zhu Ying was filled with emotions, and couldn't help saying to the old man.

"What a big grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help hugging Zhu Ying tightly when he heard the sound of grandpa.

He could feel that grandson's voice of grandpa was completely different from the previous ones, full of real emotion, which meant that Zhu Ying had completely agreed with him.

Being hugged by the old man, Zhu Ying didn't resist, but also hugged the old man, and said softly: "Grandpa, grandson is back, from now on, grandson will always be by grandpa's side."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said three good words in a row, and then reluctantly let go of his grandson.

Then close the wooden box and put it back in place.

"In addition to the study room, my grandson didn't come here much when he was a child. We went to your grandma's. That's where my grandson grew up, and it's also the place where I stayed the most when I was young."

"Perhaps when we get there, Dasun can recall some past events."

Speaking of the eldest sister, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood obviously became a little uncomfortable. After all, the eldest sister was the one who accompanied him for most of his life.

From having nothing to now in charge of the world, the two supported each other and walked along the way.

The deep feelings in it can no longer be explained clearly in a few words.

Zhu Ying nodded lightly, supported the old man, and walked towards Kunning Palace.

The Kunning Palace is very different from the Qianqing Palace. The layout here is somewhat similar to the back garden.

There are not only gazebos, swings, but also pools, all kinds of flowers and green plants.

There are many kinds of flowers and plants, from which it can be seen that Empress Ma is also quite fond of flowers and plants.

Zhu Ying took a closer look and found that the pool was not stagnant water, but was obviously connected to other water streams. It would cost a lot of manpower and material resources to introduce a living pool here in Kunning Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the pool and said: "We repaired this in the eighth year of Hongwu. We originally built a new imperial capital in Fengyang, but after thinking about it, we gave up. It's a pity."

Fengyang Huangdu began to break ground in the third year of Hongwu, and three years later, the city wall and foundation were basically completed.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown and the new imperial capital, it naturally attaches great importance to it. It covers an area of ​​more than 50 square kilometers, which is eight times the size of the current Daming Palace.

The wood used is the best in the world, and even a lot of extremely precious wood is still transported from the tributary country.The production of the wall is also very particular. The foundation stone is white jade xumizuo or strip stone, and the big city bricks are built on it, and patterns are carved.

Its layout is strictly symmetrical along the central axis.From Fengyang Bridge in the south to Zhengbei Gate, on both sides of the nearly seven-kilometer axis, many buildings are arranged in strict symmetry, reflecting the supremacy of imperial power.

At the same time, between the outer city and the forbidden wall, there are various buildings in sequence. The Temple of the City God, Guozixue, Gongchen Temple, etc. are nearby, and the Drum Tower and Bell Tower are far away, reflecting the magnificence of the capital.

The moat is more than [-] meters wide.Looking at the bell tower alone, the regulation adopts "nine-five bays", which are only used in important royal buildings, and there is no bell tower in the capital city of the world.

Even the bronze bell hanging in the middle is much larger than the big bell cast in the Yongle period. Even in later generations, it belongs to the largest bell tower in the capital.

In addition, the Drum Tower also adopts the same specifications, and its flower decoration design combines Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, which not only inherits the traditions of Song and Yuan, but also has a new style of Ming Dynasty.

From the layout, to the scale, to the craftsmanship, all of them have condensed the essence of the capital architecture of China for thousands of years. It is well deserved to say that it is the most luxurious capital in the history of China.

But such a capital was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang in the eighth year of Hongwu.

"Grandpa, why did you stop back then." Zhu Ying asked a little puzzled.

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang explained helplessly: "Our hometown is too barren. In the third year of Hongwu, we transferred 14 wealthy households from Jiangnan to make our hometown Fengyang more lively."

"It's a pity that these wealthy households would rather flee to the south of the Yangtze River with the name of refugees on their backs."

"There are too many wastelands in the surrounding area, and there are few fertile fields. The most important thing is that the national treasury was wiped out at that time. We didn't expect that the labor cost would be so huge, so we temporarily stopped."

In his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very satisfied with the imperial capital of Fengyang. The distance from Nanjing to Fengyang is only more than 400 miles, which is not too far.

Moreover, Fengyang's geographical location is also very good, but it is a bit poor in terms of economy.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the foundation of Ming Dynasty was not solid enough. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that the people would complain too much, so he stopped.

"The matter of moving the capital will be left to the eldest grandson in the future. If there is a place we like, we two will think about it and see if it can be done." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Ying nodded.

Although the current imperial palace paid attention to the problem of Fengshui when it was built, and used the Fugui Mountain of Zijin Mountain as the backing, due to the limitation of site selection, the inner court was built on the filled Yanque Lake.

Although the foundation was reinforced by driving wooden piles, paving the bottom with boulders, and ramming lime-composite soil, the problem of foundation subsidence still occurred after a long time.

Waterlogging is easy to form in the palace, and drainage is not easy. At the same time, the palace city is too close to the outer city, and it is not easy to defend during war.

The terrain of the Nanjing Palace is not good!If you move to Fengyang, you can sit on Fenghuang Mountain as a palace.

In fact, in Zhu Ying's heart, she is quite satisfied with Fengyang's palace.

The reason why Fengyang did not develop has little to do with geography, but mainly human factors, but in Zhu Ying's view, these are not too much trouble.

After the productivity of the Ming Empire began to take off, it would not be a big problem to shift the economic center to Fengyang.

It's still too early to talk about this.

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Ying's hand, walked to the swing and sat down, shaking it slowly.

"When you were young, if you were tired and tired, your grandma would hold you and shake you on this swing, slowly coaxing you to sleep."

"At that time, we also wanted to try holding you. You baby, the most important thing is to kiss your grandma. We cried as soon as we hugged you. When we were in your grandma's arms, we immediately became quiet."

There was a hint of jealousy in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone, as if he was upset that his grandson was getting closer to his eldest sister.

"At that time, we could only watch from the sidelines. If it was broad daylight, we would have to block the sun for you, even if the eunuchs could not do it. We had to block it ourselves, so that we could fall asleep soundly."

"One time we had something to deal with, and you opened your eyes before you took a few steps away. We saw that the situation was not good, so we quickly hid behind the tree."

"Guess what, you were just over three years old at the time. When you woke up, you saw grandma, looked around, and then asked the older sister, "Grandma, where did grandpa go? Why can't you see grandpa?"

"Hey, at that time, our hearts were really like drinking a big mouthful of cold water in the scorching sun, so comfortable!"
