The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 23 Zhu Yuanzhang's Wisdom
Zhu Yuanzhang believed in his intuition.

From a bowl at the beginning, he grew up to be the emperor of the Ming Empire today.

Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp intuition is quite important.

From the first queen, looking at more than 500 emperors in ancient and modern times, the only one who can compare with Zhu Yuanzhang is Han Gaozu Liu Bang.

If you have to dig deeper, Liu Bang was still the pavilion chief of Daqin at that time.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was the head of Guizhou who would starve to death even his parents.

It is said in later generations that he has been the most upright emperor since ancient times.

Even though he is over 60 years old, Zhu Yuanzhang does not have the slightest stupefaction of an old man, and his thinking is still quick.

Just thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately discovered something wrong with Zhu Ying's question just now.

"Junior Zhu Ying, dare to ask the old man what to call him."

While Zhu Yuanzhang was in deep thought, Zhu Ying's voice sounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then smiled calmly: "Our surname is also Zhu, Zhu Guorui."

Not many people know the name Zhu Guorui, but it is really Zhu Yuanzhang's former name.

It's just that compared with the two names Zhu Chongba and Zhu Yuanzhang, they are only spread in a small range.

Zhu Chongba is not a big name, but a nickname.

When Zhu Yuanzhang made some achievements, he gave himself the name Zhu Xingzong, named Guorui.

But the name didn't last long, and not many people knew about it.

Especially some of Zhu Yuanzhang's old friends, or they called him by his job title at that time.

Those who are close are also called the eighth brothers.

It didn't take long for Zhu Xingzong to be called Guorui.He is useless.

It was directly named Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the current Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guorui's name is used even by Zhu Yuanzhang's princes and ministers.

They are also very strange.

Only old brothers like Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Zhou Dexing, Liu Bowen, Tang He, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, etc. have heard of it.

But most of them died, and there are not many left.

What's more, it is also a disrespectful act to call His Majesty by the name he once used.

The reason why this former name has been passed down to later generations is because it is recorded in some documents compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

This is passed down.

But even so, in later generations Zhu Xingzong, Zhu Guorui and other titles.

After hearing it, it is naturally impossible to contact Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for the self-proclaimed 'We'.

Not to mention that.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born in Fengyang, Anhui, and "Zan" belongs to the Huaixi dialect.

The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

In the current city of Nanjing, many wealthy households are fellow villagers of Zhu Yuanzhang who immigrated from Huaixi.

Even the entire Huaixi military generals group is here with their families.

If you hear a 60-year-old man who calls himself "We", you will think it is Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Then go for a walk on the streets of Nanjing City during the day.

That is, five hundred Zhu Yuanzhang can be recognized.

A large number of Huaixi people are in Nanjing, and they are still of noble status, either noble or rich.

Even people in many other places subconsciously imitate the Huaixi dialect.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, even in the early dynasty, spoke a strong Huaixi dialect.

The Huaixi officials below also communicated with His Majesty in Huaixi dialect.

This has led to the fact that for Daming now, Huaixi dialect is, in a sense, official dialect.

It's okay if you don't know a few words of Mandarin, so call yourself "We" always.

More than ten days ago, when Zhu Ying first arrived in Nanjing, she naturally discovered this matter.

We come and go on the way, and there are various Huaixi dialects.

Therefore, the old man on the opposite side called us, and it was impossible for Zhu Ying to have rich associations.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, for now, he is still very good to the fellow villagers.

That is, the surname is Zhu, and he calls himself we.

Zhu Ying naturally guessed that the status of the old man in front of her might not be too low in terms of the entire city of Nanjing.

"Old man, it seems that we are also a family."

Zhu Ying said politely, not talking about clinging to the powerful.

If he really wanted to climb the line of the old man, he still had many ways to think about.

Even if I don't know my identity clearly, I'm afraid I can get a lot of benefits.

But as far as it is now, it is not necessary for Zhu Ying.

His own foundation is already considered a colossus, although it is not very good in the Ming Dynasty.

But outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local emperor.

At that time, we will carry out technological reforms and build a country overseas.

To improve commerce with the eyes of future generations.

In the future, his country will never be worse than this Nanjing city, and it can only be more prosperous.

"It's a family, it's a family." Zhu Yuanzhang said affirmatively.

After some deep thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang was [-]% sure that the Zhu Ying in front of him belonged to his great-grandson.

As for why it can reach [-]%.

This is what Zhu Ying's own questioning told him.

In Zhu Ying's questioning, she did not strongly emphasize that she is not the eldest grandson.

Instead, he was carefully asking about the situation of the eldest grandson.

For example, I asked at the beginning if Dasun disappeared.

And the follow-up question was when it disappeared.

It seems normal, but it is not.

Of course, this alone is not enough.

After hearing about the premature death later, the first reaction was that the body was missing.

Then I asked about the specific location of the burial.

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with it.

But after thinking about it, I found something was wrong.

Because from one point of view, except for Zhu Ying saying that she was wrong at the beginning.

In the subsequent inquiries, it was curiosity about Dasun's situation, rather than a confident and strong refutation.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has some presbyopia, he can still see clearly at such a close distance.

When he heard the location of the burial, Zhu Yuanzhang caught the faint disappointment in Dasun's eyes.

Intuition told Zhu Yuanzhang that there was definitely something wrong with Zhu Ying's background.

And Zhu Yuanzhang never doubted his intuition.

The victory of too many battles is Zhu Yuanzhang's intuition.

It sounds a bit illusory to intuit this kind of thing, but Zhu Yuanzhang firmly believes in it and never doubts it.

Plus Zhu Ying's looks and temperament.

It is not something that an ordinary businessman can have at all.

It can only show that at the age of eight, the temperament has already been finalized.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is skipping the process and directly setting the result.

Zhu Ying is his grandson.

Although this process must be very bizarre, Zhu Yuanzhang has plenty of time to conduct detailed investigations.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's mood stabilized.

Zhu Ying also began to tell her life experience.

What mother died of dystocia, father took him to be a businessman since childhood, and so on.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, but his face was a little sad.

My grandson, who is a nobleman of the royal family, is having such a difficult time.

Zhu Ying's narration sounds like his personal experience.

But Zhu Yuanzhang soon discovered that the experiences Zhu Ying described seemed to be after the age of ten.

As for before the age of ten, especially childhood playmates, they kept silent.

Are you really not saying it, or are you saying you don’t know?

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep look at Zhu Ying, and didn't care about it critically.

As the emperor of the Ming Empire, he will conduct a detailed investigation.

"Old man, if you are bored, come and sit down more. Unfortunately, today is a bit late. When you come next time, you can send someone to inform you first. I will prepare a special breakfast for the old man."

Zhu Ying said politely.

In Zhu Ying's eyes, the old man in front of him might be his second or third uncle or something like that.

It also has enough status.

There is no harm in making friends.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded his head and said in affirmation: "Of course I will come here often."

If it weren't for the many state affairs in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang even wanted to stay in this teahouse every day and be with his grandson.

After leaving the teahouse, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to Jiang Yu who was next to him: "Tell the fourth brother to come over and ask him to meet us in the palace immediately."

"The minister obeys the order!"
