The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 197

At night, the night after the rainstorm is clearer, the sky is full of stars and the moon is bright.

"Your Majesty, Xiongying is currently in Kunning Palace." Concubine Ning asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard the words, and said: "I think Dasun is either reviewing the memorials or planning the training of the imperial guards."

Speaking of grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly on his slightly tired face.

Seeing this, Concubine Ning became more and more worried.

She had never seen Zhu Ying before, so she was wary of Zhu Ying's sudden appearance. His Majesty seemed to have forgotten about the bloody confession she told His Majesty last time, and did not mention it.

Instead, he directly handed over all the palace guards to his command. He still heard about this from his younger brother Guo Ying.

Just looking at Concubine Ning's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't guess what Concubine Ning was thinking.

Of course he didn't forget the matter of confessing relatives by dripping blood.

But doing a paternity test, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, is equivalent to distrusting the eldest grandson.

It's like someone's father in the future who suddenly proposes to do a paternity test with him, which will make him very uncomfortable.

This matter cannot be rushed.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well in his heart that the relationship between himself and his eldest grandson had finally been established. If there was a gap because of this drop of blood, it would be too much for the loss.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, confessing relatives by dripping blood is like digging the tomb of King Yu in Xiaoling. It is not to prove to himself, but to prove to others.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot of contact with Zhu Ying. It was impossible for a person like Dasun to be manipulated by others. For example, the fourth child was directly suppressed before he started fighting with Dasun.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang could see all the rules and regulations here, and it was precisely because of his understanding that Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him so much.

Not to mention anything else, just a few pieces of help from the older grandson.

'Relief with work', 'separation of government and military', 'spread into mu', 'matches', 'high-yield crops', 'drilling sergeants'.

Like the reform of the imperial examination system, let’s not talk about those things that haven’t been seen yet, but just talk about these six items, can ordinary people think of them? One can be said to be luck, and if six items come out in a row, it will be completely different, and it can even be described as a monster. .

These aspects involve military power, people's livelihood, internal affairs, and weapons, which can make the entire Ming Dynasty take off.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang vaguely felt that the knowledge controlled by the grandson may be more than that.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not surprised by Dasun's understanding of these aspects. After all, Dasun's original idea was to seal the country with Annan, so it is normal to think about the overall situation from the level of an emperor.

But when a person is so good that he surpasses all others, even if it is difficult to match in ancient and modern times, then there is no need to question his identity.

This is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care too much about confessing relatives by dripping blood, or that as soon as the eldest grandson entered the palace, there would be a confession by dripping blood immediately.

"It's still early, why don't you come with us to Kunning Palace to meet the great grandson. You haven't met him before, so there are some things you don't understand, and you'll know when you meet him," Zhu Yuanzhang explained.

He wouldn't care if it was someone else, Concubine Ning was different.Emotionally, of course, she can't be compared with a big girl, but she is also a woman who is currently walking hand in hand.

It can be said that by Zhu Yuanzhang's side now, the only person who can have a few words of heart-to-heart talk is Concubine Ning.

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

Concubine Ning Wanfu replied.

She really wanted to see what the person whom His Majesty recognized as her grandson at a glance looked like.

Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace are two adjacent palaces, very close to each other. From the back door of Qianqing Palace, there is a small square in front of Kunning Palace.

At this moment, Zhu Ying did not review the memorial, but wrote some of her own thoughts on the white paper.

Over the past few days, through constant reading of the memorials, the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty has gradually become known to him.

To be honest, Zhu Ying was still very surprised by Daming's current situation.

Not too strong, but too weak.

Weak enough to be completely different from the Daming in Zhu Ying's consciousness.

In history, the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period was all praised. From the perspective of political clarity, this is indeed the case.

But in fact, in the 25th year of Hongwu, according to Zhu Ying's estimation, at least [-]% of the people in the entire Ming Dynasty are still hovering between having enough to eat and not having enough to eat.

This is only a conservative estimate, which means that a small amount of disaster will cause a large number of people to embark on a journey of fleeing famine.

In fact, most of the millions of lions in Ming Dynasty were farming soldiers, which means that the main work of all military households is still farming, which is not much different from farmers.

In most memorials, there are countless military households fleeing famine.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, this is not just the case in Daming, it is the case in most of the world.

Like the current Timur Empire, it just transferred the internal contradictions to the outside, and plundered money and food to support itself through continuous battles.

Once the conquest is stopped and you fall into internal strife, you will not have a good life.

After learning about these specific situations, Zhu Ying's next step was to plan the first five-year plan concerning the entire Ming Dynasty.

In five years, let Daming make a huge change from top to bottom.

This sounds like a fantasy, but after Zhu Ying thought about it carefully, it can be achieved theoretically.

This is premised on the old man's absolute support for him.

While thinking, the door of the study was pushed open, interrupting Zhu Ying's train of thought.

Looking up, it was the old man. Beside the old man, there was a gorgeously dressed woman.

Although Concubine Ning is old, she is well maintained, and she can vaguely see her youthful beauty.

When Zhu Ying raised her head and looked at Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning's eyes trembled all of a sudden.

In just a moment, she fully understood why His Majesty made such a decision.

Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Concubine Ning had already followed Zhu Yuanzhang.

At that time, the person in charge of the family was naturally Empress Ma, concubines like Concubine Ning, lived with Empress Ma every day.

Empress Ma, Concubine Ning and the others have all been together since they were young and beautiful, and they are like sisters.

In Zhu Ying's body, Concubine Ning saw the shadow of Empress Ma when she was young.

"Xiongying, is it really you?" Concubine Ning's tone trembled, she spoke in disbelief.

Zhu Xiongying and Concubine Ning were always by their side when they were young.

Zhu Ying didn't speak, but looked at the old man with some doubts.

Zhu Yuanzhang introduced: "This is Concubine Ning, who took care of you with your grandma when you were young."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Concubine Ning: "Although the eldest grandson escaped by chance, he lost his memory, and he can't remember what happened in the past."

"Concubine Ning." Zhu Ying saluted.

Concubine Ning is getting old, her eyesight is much worse, especially at night, she can't see clearly.

I couldn't help but take a few steps forward, walked up to Zhu Ying and looked at it carefully.

Seeing clearly like this, the more I look at it, the more shocked I am.

The outline of this face is the same as when I was a child, anyone who looks at it will be fake.

The older people are, the more they trust their intuition, especially Concubine Ning, who also took Zhu Xiongying with her when she was a child, so she knows what Zhu Xiongying looked like back then.

Zhu Xiongying, who is eight years old, can be considered to have grown up, so it is not difficult to identify it.

"It's really Xiongying, Your Majesty, it's really Xiongying, sister, you can see that, he is really Xiongying."

In an instant, Concubine Ning's tears began to fall, and she repeated three paragraphs in a row.

To myself, to Your Majesty, to the late Queen Ma.

Concubine Ning and other concubines and Empress Ma lived together every day, and they were more sisters than sisters. Empress Ma was too sad because of Zhu Xiongying's death, so she also let go.

Concubine Ning was also weeping uncontrollably.

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying's return made Empress Ma's death suddenly a great regret.

If Queen Ma survives, she will be able to see Zhu Xiongying again.

Empress Ma died at the age of 51, and she did not suffer from major illnesses. It is possible to live to the age of 61 today.

It is true that I loved Zhu Xiongying too much, so I couldn't bear that kind of blow at that time.

Seeing Concubine Ning's pain, Zhu Ying was a little at a loss.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a few steps forward, hugged Concubine Ning lightly and comforted him: "The matter is over, now that grandson can come back, it is a gift from God, maybe this is also the spirit of elder sister in heaven, protecting grandson."

It's hard to imagine that the old man can comfort others. This is the first time Zhu Ying has seen him.

In fact, this is why Zhu Ying doesn't understand.

Being able to be the founding emperor, how can IQ and EQ be low? Empress Ma and the early concubines can be said to be Zhu Yuanzhang's help, and they have made great contributions in logistics.

Under the jurisdiction of Empress Ma, they are all brothers and sisters in the true sense, united as one.

This has a lot to do with Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

Concubine Ning cried for a long time in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms, and then slowly recovered.

"We told you earlier, but once you see the eldest grandson yourself, everything will be clear, how, we are right." Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was a little complacent.

Concubine Ning wiped away her tears, and laughed when she heard His Majesty's words: "Your Majesty is right, the concubine thought too much, it looks like it used to, and it really looks like my sister when she was young."

Hearing Concubine Ning talk about the eldest sister, even though it has been ten years, and she has been accompanied by her eldest grandson recently, Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't help but a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

Seeing that His Majesty's smile was a little stiff, Concubine Ning knew she had said something wrong, so she quickly changed the subject and said to Zhu Ying, "Xiongying has been doing well all these years."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's emotions were transferred, and before Zhu Ying could answer, he said:
"Our eldest grandson's life is much better than ours. He sleeps until the sun rises every day, and he has built a huge chamber of commerce, with a lot of money and food in his pocket."

"If we hadn't found out, maybe he would have gone to Annan."

Concubine Ning asked with some doubts: "Why did Xiongying go to Annan and other small countries? I heard that there are mountains everywhere, very poor, and barbarians everywhere."

Zhu Yuanzhang became extremely proud when he heard the words, and explained: "Our eldest grandson looks like his grandma, but his temperament is similar to ours."

"We founded the Great Ming, so it is naturally impossible for the great grandson to make trouble here. But he is not to be outdone, so he secretly planned to bring down the Annan Kingdom and become the great king himself."

Concubine Ning smiled slightly when she heard this, "It seems that Xiongying and His Majesty have great ambitions just like they did back then."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Concubine Ning's praise, he knew that Concubine Ning did not believe these words.

I thought it was just an ambition, but I didn't think it could be achieved.

Relying on one's own efforts alone, in today's world, it is not bad to not starve to death. It is unreliable to think about it alone, without the help of clan relatives, and to plan a kingdom.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also annoyed, and instead asked with a smile: "We don't believe Concubine Ning, but Concubine Ning Gaoli knows."

"The concubines don't study much, but Goryeo knows about it." Concubine Ning replied, she didn't understand why she changed from Annan to Goryeo all of a sudden.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a mysterious smile on his face, and said, "We only recently found out that the current Goryeo, from the ministers of the court, to the commander of soldiers and horses, and even the commander of the imperial guards, are all under the command of our eldest grandson."

"If Dasun didn't look down on Goryeo, maybe Dasun is now king in Goryeo."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became excited, turned his head to look at Zhu Ying and said, "It would be very interesting if Dasun directly seized Korea and became king, and then met us."

The more Zhu Yuanzhang noticed it, the more interesting he found it. Of course, this can only be thought about.

Even if Zhu Ying really became the king of Goryeo, it would be impossible to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

In this era of Ming Dynasty, the emperor was the ruler of a country, so he didn't want to run around. He was in charge of the central government to coordinate the whole country. The communication with Daming could only be through envoys, and it was impossible to come here in person.

After hearing this, Concubine Ning couldn't help opening her eyes wide and her mouth slightly opened.

This was shocked.

It's not that Concubine Ning doesn't understand everything, and she is not uncommon to fight with the army. Of course, what Zhu Yuanzhang said can be understood.

It was because she could understand that Concubine Ning was so shocked.

If His Majesty hadn't said it himself, she would not have believed it if it were someone else.

From this point of view, Annan's founding of the country is really not a joke.

"My grandson, there must be something that shocks you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, because the harem does not interfere in politics, so there is no need to talk about other aspects, but he explained to the eldest grandson:
"The cooks of yours are all brought to the palace. Hurry up and ask them to prepare some food. It's a good night for us to have a drink. Even if you want your grandma Ning to taste those desserts."

Zhu Ying nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it happens that my grandson has some ideas in his mind and wants to have a good chat with grandpa."

"By the way, there is one more thing that I want Grandpa to agree to."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a big way: "If you have any problems, you can handle them yourself. If there are any problems, we will help you solve them."

Zhu Ying replied: "It's not a big deal, not long ago, Yun Wen visited his grandson."

"Grandson saw that Yun Wen was too thin and weak, like a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, so he thought, let Yun Wen exercise while the soldiers are practicing this time."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered slightly after hearing this, and didn't answer immediately, but he still said later: "Of course we support Dasun's idea, but let's talk to Dasun."

"Yun Wen and grandson are also close brothers. The so-called elder brother is like a father. In some respects, grandson doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Zhu Yunqi had been here before, and Zhu Yunqi entered the Kunning Palace directly through the side door.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's point of view, if Dasun wants to practice him like a soldier, it may be because Yun Wen hated Dasun during the communication, so he retaliated like this.

But after weighing again and again, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not reject the eldest grandson. In his opinion, it is better for the current practice to calm the eldest grandson than to turn against each other in the future.

He wasn't worried about his eldest grandson, but he was afraid that his eldest grandson would be too ruthless. After all, Yun Yun was also a grandson he once loved very much.
