The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 185
The title of grandfather or maternal grandfather, in today's Ming Dynasty, is more official.

Because of Zhu Yuanzhang himself, in the palace, they are all called daddy and grandpa, which are relatively folk names.

Father, grandfather, etc., are generally the customary names of traditional literati.

Zhu Yunqi's grandfather also represented his attitude towards this grandfather.

Seeing his grandfather, Zhu Yunwen's complexion was not very good, but according to the habit, he bowed to Father Lu and said, "Grandfather."

"Yun Wen is back, so I'll go first."

Father Lu smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had a bad impression on his grandson Zhu Yunqi, so he left in a hurry.

After Father Lu left, Zhu Yunwen frowned and said, "Mother, why did you ask him to come over?"

In front of his own mother, Zhu Yunwen didn't even call his grandfather, and called him directly.

"He is my father, and also your grandfather. No matter what happened in the past, he has reformed himself now, and you don't have to be too like this." Lu said flatly.

Earlier, Lu's family was also considered a scholarly family. When his grandfather was still there, there was no trouble in the family.

Lu's ability to become a crown princess is mainly due to his deceased grandfather.

However, after the grandfather passed away, Lu's father became more and more reckless, and became addicted to gambling, and the family lost everything.

It was still useless to dissuade him many times. During that time, Mrs. Lu washed her face with tears.

After Zhu Biao learned about it, he also went to dissuade him. Facing Zhu Biao, Lu's father, of course, promised to never go to the casino again, but it was revealed in three days.

In the end, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who took action and directly sent people to wipe out the casino that Father Lu had contacted and owed gambling debts.

And it was passed down that if any casino dared to receive Father Lu, it would be executed immediately.

Just like that, Father Lu had no place to gamble, even his friends dared not gamble with him, so he gradually got rid of his gambling addiction.

It is already a great favor to be able to get the official position of head of the Ministry of Rites of the sixth rank.

Zhu Yunwen didn't intend to talk about his grandfather, and when he entered the apse, he hurriedly told Mrs. Lu the news he had just heard from the emperor's grandfather.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu sighed slightly and said, "Although I have some guesses, it seems that your elder brother has inherited your grandpa's talent in many aspects."

For Zhu Yunqi, the news revealed in Zhu Yuanzhang's words only shocked him.

But in Lu's analysis, he quickly understood the connotation, and even deduced the current situation of Zhu Ying.

The more so, the more tired Lu felt.

Now that Zhu Xiongying has started to touch the military power, His Majesty obviously wants him to control the army first and rise to the top, so that all rumors and rumors will be as ridiculous as an egg hitting a rock.

"Mother, what should I do?" Zhu Yunqi asked melancholy.

On the road from Huagai Hall to Chunhe Hall, he had been thinking about this question, the more he thought about it, the more hopeless he felt.

Although Grandpa Huang didn't explicitly say that he would remove his grandson, no matter how stupid Zhu Yunqi was, he could understand it clearly.

"No problem, after Yunxi and Mingyue come back, you can have a chat with them, and go see your elder brother first, as for the rest of the matter, let's put it aside for now." Lu said slowly.

He didn't tell his son about what he told his father, nor did he mention Zhu Xiongying's congenital heart disease.

She knows best what kind of virtue her son is. Telling him this is equivalent to giving him a lot of hope. At that time, his son will inevitably shift his focus to the authenticity of Zhu Xiongying's identity.

This kind of behavior is meaningless. According to the current situation, even the Lu family will only listen in on the sidelines, and use the hands of Concubine Ning to pass on these possible doubts to His Majesty.

Confronting His Majesty directly is tantamount to the most stupid act.

Concubine Ning is the only one in the entire harem who can have a few words with His Majesty.

Lai'an County, belonging to Nanzhili, borders on the northwest of Nanjing, is the nearest county to the capital, and is an important gateway to Nanjing Jiangbei.

At present, it is also the key implementation point of work-for-relief.

Even today, dozens of Jinyi guards surrounded the county government of Lai'an County, and many patrolling arresters were trembling.

In front of Jin Yiwei, it is impossible for them to have the intention of resisting.

Jin Yiwei Qianhu, who was the leader, led a few people to enter directly.

The county magistrate who received the news came out immediately, frowned and said in a low voice when he saw the situation: "My lords, I don't know why you came to the magistrate's office."

Jin Yiwei Qianhu sneered and said: "Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Jin Yiwei's work is naturally based on solid evidence. How can I put it this way, should I personally have someone put you in shackles, or you should go with me yourself."

The magistrate's face was gloomy, and he scolded: "I am an official ordered by the imperial court. From the sixth rank to the county magistrate, if you think that this official is guilty, you should issue a driving sticker through the Ministry of Punishment to remove the black sand on my head."

"Just let someone come to your door, don't be an official to bully me."

Speaking of this, the county magistrate warned in a cold voice: "If I can be the county magistrate in Lai'an County, there must be someone in the court. If you act in private, don't regret it."

Not only did the county magistrate not have the slightest fear of Jin Yiwei, but he began to threaten and intimidate him.

However, he himself does have this qualification. As the righteous son of Liang Guogong Lan Yu and the backbone of the Huaixi noble group, it is impossible to hide any troubles from him.

Even in the Ministry of Punishment, he has had a number of people in the past. If something big happens, someone will definitely report it.

Only Jin Yiwei, who is notorious, acts directly.

Looking at the dozen or so Jin Yiwei around him, the county magistrate had already planned in his mind how to escape first, and then summon his men to fight back.

The catcher must not be counted on, but he still has some former subordinates following him.

Even if there are dozens of Jinyiwei, they are not without the power to fight.

Seeing Zhixian looking around, his eyes flickering, Jin Yiwei Qianhu couldn't understand what he was thinking.

With a cold snort, he said to his subordinates: "I really don't shed tears when I see the coffin, please come over, Duke Liang."

The three words Liang Guogong, like a thunderbolt, hit the magistrate's forehead directly, and he froze instantly.

Liang Guogong followed, what does this mean, his heart suddenly cleared up, his originally confident expression suddenly became panicked.

He was still thinking in his mind, maybe he obeyed, or Jin Yiwei was scaring him.

But Jin Yiwei, who received the order, came back soon after going out, and the magistrate took a look at the person he brought over, and was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.

"Father." Without the slightest hesitation, Zhixian knelt down on one knee, saluting Lan Yu as if he were in the army.

Seeing this, Lan Yu originally wanted to reprimand her severely, but thinking of the end of her name, she could only sigh and said: "Go with Jin Yiwei, even if you dare to intervene with work in lieu of relief, this matter is my responsibility." I can't save you either."

"I have already interceded. You are the only one to blame for this matter. My wife and children are still safe. Return all the money you got. Let's go on the road with peace of mind."

When Zhixian heard this, he couldn't believe it. He used to go through life and death for Lan Yu.

"Father, help me, I don't dare anymore, help me, give me another chance, I don't want to be an official, I just want a way to survive, even if it's demoted to a commoner."

"No, exile, foster father, for the sake of the past, help me one more time, just to have a way to survive, even exile is fine, foster father begs you."

The magistrate didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting, even Lan Yu came, and he immediately understood that everything was irreversible.

Now I don't want anything else, I just want to save my own life.

Sapphire shook her head slightly, and said: "It's useless, don't act like a little girl like these. Being able to save your wife and children is already the best I can do."

"It's just a blame. You shouldn't have done anything about it. This matter is too involved, and no one can keep it."

"You have also made a lot of contributions in the past. I know it, but you are already the magistrate of the county. The previous contributions have been used up, and this time they can no longer be offset."

Hearing the foster father's words, Zhixian's face turned ashamed, and at this moment he had comprehended it.

He didn't ask for mercy again, because he knew that when his adoptive father arrived here, the seriousness of the matter was already beyond his imagination.

He didn't try to refute, or complain, just like Lan Yu said, before dying, don't act like a little girl.

Only die generously.

He turned around and walked back to the lobby, took off the black gauze on his head and put it down, then stretched out his hands to Jin Yiwei Qianhu, and then two Jin Yiwei came over and put the shackles on him.

Seeing his once brave subordinates fall into such a situation, Sapphire felt extremely uncomfortable, but he was more aware of one problem.

His Highness Changsun is different from His Majesty, apart from being a relative, he has no interaction with His Highness Changsun. When he was in the study, Lan Yu also wanted to say something to save the lives of his subordinates.

However, after thinking for a long time, he found that he had nothing to say to the eldest grandson.

If it was His Majesty, he could say that he was fighting bloody battles for him, hoping to save some sympathy, but to His Highness Changsun, these were meaningless at all.

He didn't know these subordinates, he didn't know their past, and he didn't even know some of the original friendship.

In the eyes of His Highness Changsun, in his name, he was a corrupt official who broke the law, not a soldier who had fought for Ming Dynasty.

It was because of knowing this that Lan Yu came here to accompany Jin Yiwei.

However, what the magistrate said to Jin Yiwei is not unreasonable. In theory, Jin Yiwei needs a driving sticker from the Ministry of Punishment, or an oral order from His Majesty to arrest the magistrate.

Zhu Ying does not have a formal official status yet, so the memorials he handled do not conform to the legal procedures of Ming Dynasty.

But are these important?
"Mr. Liang, do you have two more people who need to go with you?" Jin Yiwei Qianhu asked Lan Yu after seeing the magistrate being taken out.

There are three people who need to be arrested today, basically all county officials, and all three of them have a close relationship with Lan Yu.

The reason why Jin Yiwei Qianhu asked this question was also because Liang Guogong and His Highness the eldest grandson had a relationship with relatives, so they should not be treated equally.

"No, you guys go, I'm just here to take a look." Sapphire said lightly.

There was no hint of expression on her complexion, the current Sapphire had a lot to think about.

Beijing camp on the outskirts of the city.

For the past three days, Zhu Ying has been living in the barracks, drinking and eating with five thousand soldiers.

These soldiers are all strong soldiers in the true sense. Whether it is personal combat experience or years of service, they are far beyond the ranks of new recruits.

Under the pressure of Zhu Yinghuangming's eldest grandson status, even veterans dare not go beyond the rules, honestly.

But in Zhu Ying's view, these are not enough. What he wants to build is not a combat team of 5000 people, but [-] officers who are very knowledgeable in military operations.

These [-] officers will serve as his core, and will gradually enter the Ming system, driving the upgrade of the entire army.

There is no need to worry about military discipline, but the ideological purpose of the military is what Zhu Ying cares about most now.

Even on the second day, Zhu Ying had already recruited many scholars who were not famous scholars.

Zhu Ying didn't need literati who were influenced by Confucianism to teach. The people he recruited were basically ordinary people with basic teaching ability, and they just needed to be able to read.

You can't blindly pursue a soldier to become an officer-level talent all at once, everything can only start with literacy.

The time for teaching literacy is after dinner, during which time Zhu Ying will also start reviewing memorials.

More often, Zhu Ying will still directly participate in the training of soldiers.

The content of the training, of course, is not to bring matchlocks or firecrackers, but to start from the line up.

Of course, ancient soldiers would be neat and tidy when they lined up, but once they moved, they were completely messed up.

During the Three Kingdoms period, they paid more attention to military formations, but in today's Daming, they don't pay so much attention. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was not from a military household.

At present, Zhu Ying's requirements are higher than those of the previous military formation, referring to some formation standards of later generations.

In fact, it's not too high of a requirement. To Zhu Ying, it's almost enough to reach the level of military training in his later generations.

Routine military training, usually about half a month to a month, can basically reach a very good level.

The next day, the first thing Zhu Ying did was to stand in a military posture.

Standing in the military posture is the beginning of everything. Standing in the military posture is to temper the tenacious will of the soldiers, hone the unyielding perseverance of the soldiers, and cultivate steel-like discipline.

"Look straight ahead, don't look left and right, keep your eyes sharp. Keep your head straight, don't shrink your neck. Don't move your nose and mouth."

"Shoulders should be relaxed, don't go up and down, legs straight, don't wait to bend."

Under the scorching sun, Zhu Ying walked in the queue of soldiers, loudly explaining the requirements for military posture.

Although many soldiers did not understand the meaning of standing like this, they did not complain and chose to obey.

But soon, as an hour passed, there were soldiers who couldn't hold on anymore.

Soon some soldiers fell to the ground.

"The soldiers who fell on the ground lie on the ground and are not allowed to stand up. They can only get up after everyone is over."

Zhu Ying didn't reprimand or reprimand, or put on military sticks, but let the fallen soldiers continue to lie there.

However, such an order made the soldiers who fell on the ground feel very ashamed.

These soldiers are the elite among the elite, completely different from ordinary soldiers. Some disturbances in Zhu Ying's imagination, or unbearable complaints, even those whispering behaviors, have not been discovered.

These are all veterans, there are no new recruits, and some soldiers have even participated in Sapphire's battle of fame and the Battle of Yuerhai.

Having survived such a harsh environment, the will has already been sublimated on a large scale.

Two hours later, Zhu Ying saw that there were still a large number of soldiers standing, and couldn't help being shocked by the fighting power of the Ming army today.

Two hours is equivalent to future generations, that is, there was no movement for a full four hours, and it could be clearly seen that all the soldiers were soaked in sweat.

On their bodies, they are all covered with armor.

The armor in the early Ming Dynasty was still relatively heavy, which could not be compared with the more than 60 catties in the Song Dynasty, but it also weighed about [-] catties.

These soldiers have very good endurance training, and they can be called elites in Daming, among which endurance training is essential, and most of the marches are long-distance raids.

It is normal for a battle that can be completed in two or three days to run for a month or two. Under such circumstances, the elites left behind have endurance beyond the imagination of future generations.

After seeing the endurance of the soldiers, Zhu Ying also started strength training.

For the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty today, strength training is greatly constrained, and the main aspect is nutrition.

Zhu Ying has ordered Uncle Zhang to purchase a large amount of meat to ensure the strength training of the soldiers.

The most troublesome thing about walking in line is that there is no distinction between left and right. For the time being, you can only slowly form a habit.

A square team of one hundred people, five thousand soldiers were divided into fifty square teams and began to practice.

Standing on the platform and watching this scene, Zhu Ying felt very shocked, although there will always be some confusion at the moment.

There are standing postures and sitting postures, not only in practice, but Zhu Ying also personally inspects the housekeeping.

The filth and mess of the ancient soldiers' barracks was simply beyond Zhu Ying's imagination, and there was a particularly strong smell almost entering it.

"My palace said it, and Zhang Bo recorded it."

Zhu Ying began to talk about the requirements of being a soldier's internal affairs to Zhang Bo next to him.

Including how to fold the bedding, how to arrange the items, where the weapons should be placed, and the maintenance of hygiene in the house, everything that can be thought of, Zhu Ying said.

"I will continue to order that housekeeping must be carried out every day. Those who fail to pass will be notified and criticized when they line up in the morning, and the three who are the best each day will be notified and rewarded."

This time, Zhu Ying didn't offer military pay or other rewards in kind, and started directly from the spirit. He didn't want the soldiers he created to be all about money.

The current remuneration is high enough, and more is still instilled in ideological education.

Each of these elite soldiers is very proud, and when they are criticized in front of the whole army, they will naturally change.

Zhu Ying has never ordered the use of military sticks, and even if he sees someone who wants to be lazy, he only criticizes education.

It is such a simple behavior, but it is considered by all soldiers to love the people like children.

You must know that under other generals, beatings, scolding and even beheading are common, and twenty military sticks are more common. Compared with them, the feeling is completely different.

For three consecutive days, Zhu Ying has been maintaining basic training, and has not even done a weight-bearing run. Every day, she is full of rice and meat.

The soldiers, who were originally elite soldiers, improved their overall spirit to a higher level in just three days.

It is worth mentioning five thousand households.

The performance of these five thousand households was better than that of ordinary soldiers, and almost all of their physical training was considered complete.

Even Cao Bing, the second generation of the army, has never complained once, and he gritted his teeth and persisted when he was the most tired.

After questioning, Zhu Ying realized that all the thousands of households, including most of the hundred households, had practiced martial arts themselves.

Like Cao Bing, he was trained by his father Cao Zhen since he was a child. In his opinion, standing in a military posture is much easier than standing in martial arts. There is no need to raise any objections to this kind of training.

The smoothness of the drill is inseparable from the factors of these thousands of households and hundreds of households taking the lead.

This really made Zhu Ying very worry-free.

"Da Sun is in the barracks, how many days is it today?"

After dinner, before Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed the memorial, he asked Liu He on the side.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, counting today, it has been four days." Liu He bowed and said.

"We already know that our eldest grandson is more interested in military affairs than dealing with political affairs. When reviewing memorials on weekdays, he always thinks of ways to avoid laziness."

"Now I go to the barracks, and I go to do drills every day, but after reading the memorial sent yesterday, I am more and more familiar with Dasun's handling of political affairs."

Zhu Yuanzhang complained a few words at first, and then couldn't help but praise.

"His Highness Changsun became a martial artist in his humble beginnings. This is because he inherited His Majesty's talent. In my opinion, he must be wise and powerful in the future." Liu He said flatteringly.

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang liked the way of praising the great grandson very much, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were piled up with laughter.

After chatting a few words, Zhu Yuanzhang began to review the memorial.

It wasn't long before Jiang Yu came over.

"I would like to inform Your Majesty that the three officials involved in the work-for-relief incident have all been arrested. Please show Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows and said, "What else do you want to say? After the interrogation, he will be executed directly, and then his crimes will be reported to all counties."

"If it wasn't for our great grandson's benevolence, all these officials would deserve to die. Let's listen to grandson's wishes and give them another chance. After this time, if there are still people who embezzle money and food from them."

"No matter how many, they will all be executed."

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily, in fact, as early as when Jinyiwei reported the situation of officials in local counties and counties with work relief, Zhu Yuanzhang's first reaction was to kill them.

But after seeing the content of those performances, I decided to test the school's grandson, and was persuaded by the grandson. At present, only a few greedy ones will be punished, and the rest will be released first.

"Our eldest grandson will be disappointed this time, and we have to let him know that once these corrupt officials are corrupted for the first time, there will be a second, third or even more times."

"Sometimes, pure kindness can only help the evildoers."

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently, the reason why he didn't kill him was of course not that Zhu Yuanzhang changed his mind, but he just took this opportunity to let Dasun understand how to deal with corrupt officials.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "As for the money and food that was embezzled by ink, they have all been recovered."

Jiang Yu said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, all the money and food that the three of them were greedy for was recovered, even more than what my minister and other Jin Yiwei recorded. It may be because of Duke Liang's presence."

"Forget them to be acquainted." Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words and said: "According to the amount they are so greedy for ink, it is not an exaggeration to copy and kill the whole family. Our grandson is good at everything. In this respect, he is like his grandma and father, too kind. Some."

According to the original law, the wives and children of these corrupt officials would be imprisoned, their wives, concubines and daughters would be directly sent to the Jiaofang Division, and their sons and others would be exiled to the frontier.

But during the discussion, Dasun insisted that all the crimes should be attributed to the officials themselves, which made Zhu Yuanzhang retreat.

As a descendant, I can't accept the law of continuous sitting system in my heart.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to completely let corrupt officials go, at least most of the family wealth of corrupt officials will be confiscated.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is here to report that His Royal Highness Changsun previously ordered to go to the Western Regions to pick up the items through the post station documents, and now they have arrived in the capital."

Jiang Yu complained again.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up, send someone to pick it up immediately, and bring it to us immediately."

"The minister complies with the decree." Hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately went out and left in a hurry.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang knew what the object was sent this time, which was the broken strip of cloth that Dasun mentioned when he was rescued.

You must know that it is the ironclad evidence that can confirm Zhu Ying's identity.

Although it doesn't matter much if Zhu Ying is directly appointed as the grandson and canonized as grandson, but if the evidence is solid, those who are convinced will naturally be thankful.

These evidences are not what Zhu Yuanzhang wants to show to the ministers, and those civil servants have no qualifications to deny it.

The main thing is to show it to his princes and grandsons, as well as many vassal kings.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he still hopes that the whole old Zhu family will be harmonious.

Zhu Ying's appearance had the biggest impact on these princes. Maybe they didn't say it on the surface, but they probably didn't agree in their hearts.

When there is a cloth strip as ironclad evidence, then everyone has nothing to say.

The waiting time always passes slowly, and Zhu Yuanzhang has no mood to review the memorials anymore.

He always looked at the door subconsciously, and took a sip from his teacup, even if he knew that Jiang Yu only took a dozen or so breaths to go out.

Looking left and right for a long time, Jiang Yu finally came with a wooden box wrapped in linen. Even Jiang Yu, who is like a martial artist, couldn't help panting at this moment, obviously he was running the whole time.

Looking at the wooden box in Jiang Yu's hand, Zhu Yuanzhang got up directly, walked over uncontrollably without waiting for Jiang Yu's reply, and took the wooden box in Jiang Yu's hand.

Looking at the wooden box in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became a little turbulent.

Zhu Yuanzhang's character is jealous and suspicious.

It's just that the love for Dasun suppressed all these things, and at the same time, he also controlled bad thoughts in his heart, and even hypnotized himself. Dasun is the real Dasun, and it can never be fake.

The excavation of the Xiaoling Mausoleum inspired Zhu Yuanzhang to a large extent, and made him more and more convinced of the true identity of the great grandson.

Now with the corroboration of cloth strips, it is a certain fact.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's hand holding the wooden box couldn't help trembling slightly.

After opening the cloth strip, an exquisite wooden box appeared inside. The engravings on it indicated its extraordinaryness, and it was considered a rare and precious thing among the people, at least it would cost two silver to buy it.

From this, Zhu Yuanzhang can see how much Dasun attaches importance to the cloth strips.

Like holding porcelain, Zhu Yuanzhang opened it gently, for fear that his improper actions would cause the contents inside to shatter.

In fact, even if it falls directly on the ground, how much damage can a piece of cloth do.

There is no lock on the wooden box, and it can be opened directly. After opening, a piece of old silk appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.

"That's right, that's right, that's it, that's it."

The moment Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the cloth strip, his whole body began to tremble, and his emotions became very agitated.

In the eyes of others, this is just a piece of rag, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the embroidered words with gold thread on it, and knew that it was his big sister, who embroidered it stitch by stitch.

At that time, when the eldest sister was embroidering, because of illness, there were no other patterns except for the simple three names.

You must know that most of the bellybands of many children have a lot of embroidered patterns, but this white bellyband is completely different.

Rough big hands stroked the gold embroidery on the cloth strips, feeling the gold threads on the silky satin. In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the appearance of the former big girl seemed to emerge in front of his eyes.

Some fragmentary memories kept flashing in my mind, everything seemed to have happened yesterday.

Just like the current Zhu Yuanzhang, when he went to Kunning Palace, the eldest sister was waiting for him to go to bed together.

When he came back to his senses after a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang's cheeks were already full of tears.

Jiang Yu next to him controlled his breathing, and Liu He was also quiet.

As His Majesty's personal bodyguards and personal eunuchs, they understand His Majesty's current situation very well and have seen him too many times.

After the Queen passed away, His Majesty would often cry and cry in the middle of the night, feeling very sad.

After the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he suddenly became extremely indifferent again, and any time was like an eternal winter.

It wasn't until the appearance of His Highness the eldest grandson that His Majesty regained his smile.

"Quickly, call Concubine Ning over here. Concubine Ning and the eldest sister are most familiar with each other. Concubine Ning must know the embroidery technique." Zhu Yuanzhang said suddenly.

Liu He, who received the order, hurriedly arranged for the eunuch to summon Concubine Ning.

"A few days ago, Concubine Ning was still a little suspicious of grandson, after seeing the embroidery, she can directly identify it when she thinks about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered in his mouth.At the same time, he touched the embroidery in his hand, which made him feel the presence of the big girl.

In the harem at this time, Concubine Ning was in the bedroom, looking at some relevant records of the imperial hospital.

The yellowed paper expresses the years and months that have been experienced. These records are all the stubs of the Imperial Hospital ten years ago, and they are related to Zhu Xiongying at that time.

Concubine Ning arranged for someone to take it out from the Imperial Hospital.

Concubine Ning was very thoughtful. After learning about Zhu Xiongying's existence, she felt a little skeptical but didn't think too much about it. She intended to follow His Majesty's instructions and talk about it after seeing Zhu Xiongying.

But under Lu's reminder, something was wrong.

Of course, Concubine Ning did not dare to speak directly to His Majesty about these speculations, so she had to retrieve the previous records about Zhu Xiongying's illness from the Imperial Hospital.

These more than ten pieces of paper are the results of Zhu Xiongying's diagnosis by more than ten imperial physicians at that time.

Without exception, the diagnosis results were congenital heart disease in the eyes.

Opening the medical book on the side, Concubine Ning studied it carefully by candlelight, it was the description of congenital heart disease.

"Congenital heart disease, once it develops, it will die soon, and it will die soon after it develops. It can be nourished and cannot be stopped."

It means that once it occurs, it will be gone in the same day, and it can only be recuperated but there is no way to cure it.

Once suffering from such diseases, it will be like this for a lifetime, and if you are not careful, you will die.

Seeing this, Concubine Ning's eyes became a little darker.

At this moment, a eunuch reported outside the house, and His Majesty called urgently.

Concubine Ning got up immediately when she heard the words, and accompanied by the maids and eunuchs, she walked towards Qianqing Palace.

It was not too far from the harem to Qianqing Palace, and Concubine Ning came over not long after.

When he entered the door, he saw that His Majesty was holding a broken piece of cloth in his hand, and a wooden box was placed on the desk.

"Concubine Ning, come here quickly, show us if this thing is embroidered by a big sister herself." Zhu Yuanzhang greeted eagerly.

In terms of embroidery, Concubine Ning can be regarded as a master, very knowledgeable.

Although Concubine Ning didn't understand what His Majesty meant, she still stepped forward to take the cloth strip and examined it carefully.

"This, how is this possible."

Just seeing it, Concubine Ning immediately exclaimed, her tone full of disbelief.

"How, how, is it the one embroidered by the eldest sister?" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked after seeing Concubine Ning's exclaimed a little out of control.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, and wait for the concubine to observe it." Concubine Ning recovered from the shock when she heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice.

With the light of the candlelight, I looked carefully at the needlework of the embroidery.

The reason why she was shocked just now is entirely because this piece of broken cloth is extremely familiar to Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning was very familiar with that white bellyband when she changed clothes for Zhu Xiongying's corpse.

At that time, Empress Ma fell ill in bed and insisted on embroidering for her grandson by herself. Concubine Ning was by her side and offered to help her many times, but Empress Ma refused.

Concubine Ning is far more familiar with this white bellyband than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Especially the formations involved in embroidery, according to each person's difference, the form of expression is completely different.

Embroidery is a craft that all ladies must learn, especially in the harem.

Embroidery needles are extremely complicated, including velvet needles, straight needles, trocar needles, piercing needles, long and short needles, beating needles, flat gold, and poking sand.

It is divided into four famous embroideries: Su embroidery, Yue embroidery, Hunan embroidery and Shu embroidery. In addition, there are Gu embroidery, Beijing embroidery, Ou embroidery, Lu embroidery, Fujian embroidery, Bian embroidery, Han embroidery and Miao embroidery, etc.

In other words, each person's embroidery stitch habits will be completely different due to their own preferences and habits, and the expression of embroidery will be completely different.

In the eyes of everyone who is advanced in embroidery, they can even identify the inheritance they belong to through the embroidery technique.

Embroidery masters like Concubine Ning and Empress Ma are very familiar with each other.

Now what Concubine Ning is looking at is the stitching, stitching, stitching and other aspects of the gold silk embroidery.

Just this somewhat damaged "English" character made Concubine Ning check the time for half a cup of tea. This is because of Concubine Ning's repeated scrutiny, and it is also related to not being bright enough and her eyes are short-sighted.

When Concubine Ning put down the strip of cloth, she solemnly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the embroidery on this strip of cloth is embroidered by my sister. This piece of cloth was replaced by my concubine when the hero passed away. , there will never be a fake."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking: "Concubine Ning may be sure."

"It's absolutely certain, there will be no mistakes. Except for my sister, no other concubine has ever seen such a skill in this world, and it is also embroidered with white belly pockets, which is unique in the world."

Concubine Ning said with a firm tone.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help smiling, with tears on his face, but he was as happy as a child.

Then he said to Concubine Ning: "Do you know where we got this cloth from?"

Concubine Ning just pondered for a while, and asked, "Could it be Xiongying's place?"

"Yes."

Hearing Concubine Ning's doubts, Zhu Yuanzhang directly replied affirmatively, and then said with a sigh:

"When we first met Dasun, we were shocked when we saw his face, and immediately asked how Dasun was doing."

"At that time, the eldest grandson was cautious. He pretended to tell us that we had parents, and said that he was already twenty, which did not match the age of the eldest grandson. Naturally, we couldn't believe it, so we arranged for Jin Yiwei to investigate in detail."

"Sure enough, we found out that the eldest grandson is just the adopted son of that family, and he was picked up outside Nanjing, by the Yangtze River."

"At that time, the eldest grandson was still arguing with us, saying that our eldest grandson was buried in the soil, and he was drowned by others, which is different."

"No, after the Xiaoling Mausoleum was excavated, our grandson has nothing to say, hehehe."

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be speaking to Concubine Ning, but also to himself, with a very proud tone.

Seeing His Majesty was surprised and excited, as if the evidence was solid, Concubine Ning, who had never seen Zhu Ying, had a slight suspicion flashing in her eyes.

Because she had never seen Zhu Ying's appearance, and she was very similar to what His Majesty said, Concubine Ning didn't understand what it was like, especially just now.

Concubine Ning happened to be reading the records about congenital heart disease, and the seeds of doubt had already been planted.

It's just that the current Concubine Ning doesn't know how to tell her majesty.

If the cloth is a real cloth, must Xiongying be a real hero?

At this time, Concubine Ning used her rich imagination, if someone found Xiongying by the river, and also discovered the identity of Xiongying, and this person was also Daming's enemy.

Then find a child who is about the same age and looks like the prince, and finally create such a shocking conspiracy.

The reason why it took ten years to come here after the prince passed away, in Concubine Ning's opinion, was because she had been looking for people in the vast sea of ​​people, and after finding them, she would definitely train them secretly.

But no matter how it is replaced, the congenital heart disease cannot be replaced.

"Concubine Ning, what are you thinking about so preoccupied? Do you want to see this kid Xiongying right now? Don't worry, we wanted him to come here soon, but before we gave Dasun 5000 troops, Dasun is now In the barracks."

"After he finishes handling the affairs of the military camp, we will let him come to see you immediately." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Concubine Ning was about to speak, when a spiritual pass flashed through her mind, and she said instead:
"Since Your Majesty already knew where Xiongying is, why didn't you confess your relationship with blood? If we can get along, who would dare to gossip."
