The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 161 The Taste of Grandma's Cuisine
"Your Majesty, Duke Liang and His Royal Highness Changsun met at the Jinyiwei Yamen, and they should have gone to the Changfu now."

In the Daming Palace, Jiang Yu reported to Zhu Yuanzhang who was eating, and then explained the details clearly.

There are many rules for dining, but after Jiang Yu came over, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the people in Shangshi Bureau to step down.

Zhu Yuanzhang ate while listening, Jiang Yu controlled the speed of speaking, and he finished speaking almost when Zhu Yuanzhang finished eating.

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, and asked: "Jiang Yu, you said our grandson, why didn't you come back to live? It was only for one night, and he went back."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask about Lan Yu's situation. The point of concern was that the grandson returned the dragon and went back to live in the house himself.

"I think His Highness must have his own ideas. Now, living in the palace is too ostentatious for His Highness, and it is easy to be unable to use it." Jiang Yu heard the words, and carefully expressed his thoughts.

If it was changed before, or someone else, Jiang Yu would usually keep silent, but when it comes to His Highness the eldest grandson, he must help explain a few words.

"We know in our hearts that we just can't bear it. The return of our grandson is a gift from God to us. We really want to have our grandson by our side all the time. We are older and our body is still weak." We also know the situation."

"After this day, I don't know how long I can see my grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some regret.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health, strong and strong, and can still eat three bowls of rice. After the minister came back from His Royal Highness, His Majesty's spirit has become more energetic, and the minister is also extremely happy."

Jiang Yu replied respectfully.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he laughed and said to Jiang Yu: "You, you, when did you learn to flatter like those civil servants."

"Your Majesty clearly sees that every sentence I say is true, and it all comes from the bottom of my heart." Jiang Yu hurriedly bowed his head and said.

"Okay, we know you are loyal, so I told you to let Chang Sen go. After all, he is also our grandson's uncle. After being locked up for these days, his memory has improved."

"Mr. Liang is slippery. I really thought he came here on purpose at this time. We don't know what he's thinking, and we don't even think about it. If we have thoughts about him, what can he do?" Zhu Yuanzhang explained first. About Chang Sen, and then said to Jiang Yu.

At this time, Jiang Yu just chose to remain silent.

Whether it will make State Duke Lan Yu cool, others don't know, how can he not know, he has collected a lot of criminal evidence related to Lan Yu, and most of the personnel are also listed.

If it weren't for the appearance of His Highness the eldest grandson, it is unknown how many people would have died.

It was at this time that Liu He, the eunuch with the palm seal of the Supervisor of Rites, came in and reported, "Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from the Gunpowder Department, saying that the matchlock gun arranged by His Royal Highness Changsun has been manufactured."

Hearing this news, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart moved, but then he frowned slightly.

He wanted to see how powerful the matchlock gun was, but today's regulations related to the separation of military and government have not yet been settled. Even today's dinner was postponed for an hour.

Not only will I continue to discuss with the ministers later, I won't have much time in the next few days.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that the reform of military power was more important than the matchlock gun.

The separation of the military array cannot be done with a few words, and the arrangement of personnel is particularly important.

If a civil servant is randomly arranged to follow, it is impossible for the general to form a constraint, and it does not have much meaning.

For example, the dukedom of a country such as Lanyu, ordinary civil servants can't resist, and for Lanyu in the past, it is just one more logistics subordinate, which is meaningless.

"Let Dasun go over and have a look. This is what he made, and it's the most clear whether it's what he wants." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and then said to Liu He.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed to himself.

It feels good to have a grandson. Anyway, if there is anything, just let grandson do it. The most important thing is that grandson is still so outstanding.

"The minister obeys the order."

"My grandson of Xiongying! My grandson of Xiongying!"

When she first arrived in Changfu, Lan's gaze was filled with shock and surprise. During Lan Yu's explanation, after learning that Zhu Ying was Zhu Xiongying, she immediately got up, hugged Zhu Ying, and burst into tears. down.

Zhu Ying was a little embarrassed, but she didn't break free, but let Lan Shi hold her.

He could feel that the grandmother in front of him treated him with unreserved love just like the old man.

Chang Sheng and Lan Yu looked at each other, and they only smiled wryly.

Just now he briefly mentioned Zhu Ying's identity, and Lan seems to have already decided that this is his grandson.

After a long time, Lan finally let go, and then held Zhu Ying tightly with both hands, looked carefully at Zhu Ying's face, and said in his mouth:
"Let grandma take a good look. It's been so many years, and he's still so handsome, almost the same as when he was a child. It's so good, so good!"

Chang Sheng, who was narrating, was a little helpless. Seeing that his second uncle, Lan Yu, was silent, he had no choice but to say, "Mother, why don't we sit and talk."

When Lan heard this, his complexion changed suddenly, and he scolded: "You are the only one who has too many things."

After finishing speaking, he took Zhu Ying's hand again and sat down next to his own seat.

"How did you lose weight like this? You must have suffered a lot outside these years." Lan asked in a rambling manner.

After a little hesitation, Zhu Ying said, "Except for the fact that it was a little difficult at the beginning, it was pretty good later on. It's just that I don't have any memories of my childhood, and I don't know who I am."

"I have been running around all these years, and I couldn't visit my grandma in the capital earlier. I ask grandma to forgive me."

Hearing this, Lan said with tears in her eyes: "What a filial child, grandma is living a good life here, but she often thinks of you, God opened his eyes, let the old man who has half of his body buried in the soil, still see you The grandson is back."

"Thank God, thank Bodhisattva, thank Buddha."

As Lan said, he folded his hands together and began to mutter.From the rosary on Lan's wrist, it can be seen that Lan prefers to worship Buddha.

The Lan family is very important to the entire Changfu, and even to Lan Yu, Duke of Liang.

Although Lan is an old lady in her 50s, in a sense, Lan and Zhu Yuanzhang belong to the "direct line" relatives, and this concept is completely different.

For Zhu Xiongying's current situation, when the Crown Princess Chang was pregnant, Lan had been helping to take care of her in the palace. After Zhu Xiongying was born, although Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had always brought her up.

But apart from the two, the one who brought the most was Lan Shi.

Even Lan's concern for Zhu Xiongying's grandson is far more than his three biological sons.

If there is something fun and delicious, the first thought is to bring it to the palace, or keep it for the grandchildren.

Of course, there may be some other ideas in it.

After all, from the day Zhu Xiongying was born, everyone knew that this would be the third emperor of the Ming Empire in the future.

The eldest grandson brought up by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma himself, if he had not died young, might be much stronger than the prince Zhu Biao.

This will be related to the Changfu, Lanfu, and the long-term rise and fall of the two relative families. Whether it is from a personal perspective or a family perspective, the importance of Zhu Xiongying is self-evident.

"Xiongying, you haven't had dinner yet, wait a minute, grandma will make you your favorite steamed pork ribs."

"That was your favorite food when you were a child."

Lan suddenly got up and said to Zhu Ying that she wanted to go to the kitchen to cook for Zhu Ying herself.

"Mother, how can I let you do it by yourself, just let the cook do it." Seeing this, Chang Sheng said quickly.

"You know what, this is my best dish. When I was a child, Xiongying only liked my steamed pork ribs. He didn't even need to taste the ones made by others, he could smell them."

Lan Shi chased away Chang Sheng and stubbornly wanted to go to the kitchen.

"Sister, stay here with Xiongying more, we just met." Lan Yu also persuaded quickly.

Hearing what his younger brother Lan Yu said, Lan Shi explained: "Xiaoyu, you don't know much about fighting outside all year round. When Xiongying was young, he pestered me to cook this dish for him every day. It was the empress who used to ask me for advice. on."

"Even the empress can't taste old. Although Xiongying doesn't remember the past, people's tastes are hard to change, and they will definitely like it."

Speaking of this, Lan Shi also seemed a little unconfident, and couldn't help looking at Xiongying, with some expectation in his eyes.

"Grandma is right, I want to eat grandma's steamed pork ribs again."

Zhu Ying nodded seriously and spoke.

He also had a deep memory of the taste of grandma's dishes in his previous life. He spent his childhood at his grandma's house in his previous life.

At this moment, the eyes of the grandmother in the previous life seemed to overlap with Lan's.

He will not stop Lan's idea of ​​cooking in person, which may be the most precious memory for Lan.

"Xiaoyu, look, Xiongying has said so, and wait, I will do it now, and now it's time for dinner."

With her grandson's affirmation, Lan smiled happily, and the wrinkles on her face overflowed.

"Sister, the juniors are all here, so why not call them differently." Sapphire said with some embarrassment.

For a tall and mighty man like Lan Yu, it was extremely awkward to be called Xiao Yu.

This kind of private address made Lan Yu feel a little ashamed in front of the juniors.

"I'm not called Xiaoyu, so why don't I call you Duke Liang? Alright, I won't talk too much to you, I'll cook for our hero." Lan Shi gave Lan Yu a glare, and then said.

Lan Yu was speechless, he had nothing to do with this sister who was like a mother.

"Yueqing, go with grandma."

Zhu Ying gave instructions to Ye Yueqing beside her.

"well."

Ye Yueqing got up and went to Lan's side to help her. Lan took a careful look at Ye Yueqing, smiled and said good words twice, which had a very obvious meaning.

Ye Yueqing couldn't help but lower her head in shame.

After Lan Shi left, Lan Yu asked Zhu Ying, "Your Highness, so."

"Uncle treats me like an outsider. In this permanent mansion, just call me Xiongying." Zhu Ying interrupted and said with a smile.

Just this sentence made Sapphire feel a lot closer.

Regarding Lan Yu, although Zhu Ying has opinions on many aspects, but no matter what, it is her natal family's influence, except for the old man and younger siblings, there is no one who is closer.

Now is the key point. If Lan Yu can listen to her nephew, then it will be easy to arrange later.

If not, it just depends on the situation.

Of course, Zhu Ying, who is well versed in the way of being a human being, couldn't have made a show of power over Lan Yu from the very beginning. That was an attitude towards outsiders, not her own family.

The stone in Lan Yu's heart fell to the ground, and she said decisively: "Xiongying, I won't talk too much, if there is anything that needs to be done by my uncle, whether it can be done or not, I will do it. "

Lan Yu's words made Chang Sheng, who had been sitting beside him, tremble with the hand holding the teacup, almost falling to the ground.

These words are quite a bit, outrageous.

However, when Zhu Ying heard the words, she became silent all of a sudden, and did not answer immediately.

Sapphire's straightforwardness caught Zhu Ying by surprise.

He had to admit that from the very beginning when he saw Lan Yu, and even came to Lan Yu, except for Lan's side, his heart was a little turbulent, in fact, in his heart, he didn't really regard Lan Yu and others as his relatives.

For Zhu Ying, whether it is Lan Yu or Chang Sheng, it is only the first time they have met. The nominal natal family, the most important consideration in their hearts is still the balance of interests.

Talking about emotions and the like is pure nonsense.

It's just Lan Yu's words that moved Zhu Ying a little.

Zhu Ying, who has fairly broad knowledge, can clearly understand that Lan Yu's sentence is the real truth.

Zhu Ying is somewhat unaccustomed to the feeling of relying on blood relationship in ancient times to maintain such a relationship just after meeting.

The warmth and coldness of the previous life still has a certain influence on Zhu Ying.

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Sometimes only when you experience it yourself, you will understand.

Zhu Ying remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy. Lan Yu didn't get a reply after she finished speaking, and she also remained silent.

After a long time, Zhu Ying finally said slowly: "Maybe Duke Liang doesn't know that I ran a chamber of commerce during the years I was wandering in the wild. It was just a month ago that a caravan under my command came to the capital and passed by a certain village. Block, loot."

"Fortunately, those under my command are not easy to provoke. They directly beat and killed them. Among them, the leader is the self-proclaimed righteous son of Liang Guo."

"I don't know how Duke Liang should treat this matter."

Zhu Ying's voice was very calm. The incident at the beginning was still defined as a crime committed by Mongolians fleeing, and the Yamen couldn't spend a lot of energy to find it, so it was nothing.

But Zhu Ying knew that Lan Yu's other adoptive sons never gave up on tracking down the murderer.

It's just that the people under his command have already gone back to the desert, so there is no follow-up.

At this moment, Zhu Ying's voice, Duke Liang, also told Lan Yu what he thought of this matter and what he planned to do.
