The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 257 Grandson, Are You Ready?

Hongwu 25 years, September [-]th.

In the original history, this day belonged to Zhu Yunqi.

Because it was on this day, based on the auspicious day provided by Qin Tianjian, Zhu Yunqi was officially canonized as grandson.

This was also decided by Zhu Yuanzhang himself in the early court two months ago, when many vassal kings were present.

"Mom, I'm not feeling well."

In the Palace of Spring Harmony, before dawn, Zhu Yunqi got up early and sat alone in the backyard of the Palace of Spring Harmony.

The little candles next to him brought light, he dispersed the maids and eunuchs, and just sat quietly by himself.

Now Zhu Yunqi has mixed feelings, no matter how he avoids it, time will always move forward.

In the past, he had been looking forward to this day.

Later, he always wanted to escape this day.

Last night, Zhu Yunwen tossed and turned and stayed up all night. No matter what, this day finally came.

This also means that starting from this morning, the position of Taisun will be completely far away from him.

not reconciled,
But so what, these two months, whether it's Huang Zicheng who has been his military advisor, Li Jinglong whom he admires, or his mother.

They kept telling him that with the appearance of his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying, he had no room to resist.

Everyone who knew about this matter was advising him not to confront the elder brother, because he was the grandpa's favorite grandson.

It's only been two months.

Ever since his father passed away, such a big brother suddenly appeared.

Just such an unidentified elder brother, everyone began to trust him, thinking that he was the elder brother who had passed away for ten years.

It's just ridiculous.

Just because they are about the same age and look alike, they can be identified so directly.

But I think of the face of the eldest brother, and the temperament similar to that of the father.

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and muttered: "It seems to be really similar."

"But, so what, it's civil and military officials, the emperor's grandfather, and the kings, who watched the burial with their own eyes."

"Crawling out of the grave, is it possible? Is it possible!"

"The humerus ministers knew about it. Under the awe of the emperor's grandfather, they didn't even dare to question it. Duke Liang even directly decided that he was the eldest brother. Why!"

"However, why does eldest brother still have such temperament and wisdom after living in exile for ten years?"

"It took an eight-year-old child ten years to establish such a large chamber of commerce in a cold place outside the border of Daming."

"Could it be that elder brother really inherited all the advantages of the emperor's grandfather and father's king?"

"Brother, are you sent by heaven to stop me on purpose?"

Zhu Yunqi just talked to himself like this, asking and answering himself for a full half an hour.

Until, footsteps came from behind.

Just by hearing the voice, he knew that it was his mother.

"Silly boy, it's already today, you still can't let it go." Mrs. Lu came over and gently stroked Zhu Yunqi's forehead, which was still slightly stained with water, which was the morning dew.

Zhu Yunwen heard the words, looked at the light gradually rising from the sky, and said slowly for a long time: "If I can't let go, what can I do, mother, do I have any other choices now?"

Lu's lips twitched for a while, and finally said nothing, sighed softly, and poured Zhu Yunqi into his arms.

Following the door left and right, the five princes also got up early.

"Today is a big day, all the brothers got up very early." The eighteenth prince Zhu Wei said with a smile.

The sixteenth prince Zhu Zhan said: "Nonsense, I don't even look at what's going on today. Today's morning court is probably going to be very lively."

"It's our nephew Yun Wen. I'm afraid I'm not very comfortable. I've been looking forward to this day. Today, I must be very uncomfortable."

"To be honest, it would be very uncomfortable to be replaced by me. I have already confirmed the position of grandson in the court meeting. Who would have thought of killing Cheng Yaojin halfway through. The position of grandson was cut off for no reason. gone."

"There's really nothing we can do. Take a look, after His Royal Highness Changsun entered the palace, did nephew Yun Wen make any movement?"

"But it's normal if there's no movement. It's strange if there is movement. With the emperor watching from above, who would dare to have any objections these days."

"By the way, have you noticed that His Royal Highness Changsun is in the court hall, and there are quite a few ministers who know about it. It can be seen that someone raised some objections."

"How can I say that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, was buried under the watchful eyes of many people, but now that he suddenly appeared, everyone should be suspicious for a while."

"Those censor officials are usually full of integrity, but at this juncture, they don't say anything at all. They are all as shrewd as old foxes."

"So, brothers, let's not underestimate those civil servants, they are smart."

When everyone heard these words, they nodded in agreement when they were thoughtful.

Although the princes are not very old, they look more than ten years old, but since they were born in the royal family, they are naturally very different in all aspects.

According to the usual practice, basically around the age of fifteen or sixteen, one will leave the capital and become a vassal king.

In terms of growth and wisdom, it is simply not comparable to ordinary people.

The teacher who taught them was the most outstanding literati in the entire Ming Dynasty.

You know, even those who can leave a simple mark in history are all great people.

Among the four princes who listened to the sixteenth prince, only Zhu Quan frowned slightly, and said: "Brother Sixteen, it's best not to say these things in front of others. It doesn't matter much to me, brothers."

"If someone listens to it and spreads it to His Royal Highness Changsun, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a good impression."

"Perhaps the emperor will personally punish him."

For Zhu Zhan, the sixteenth brother who speaks out loud and has no scruples or fears, after a little hesitation, he decided to persuade him.

After all, among the princes who are about the same age, Zhu Wei's personality is still very bold, which also makes him feel good in Zhu Quan's heart.

Maybe Zhu Wei thinks that he is the oldest among the five princes, and for the younger brothers, whenever there is anything, he will help them out.

It's just that in terms of speaking, some are too direct.

Hearing Zhu Quan's words, Zhu Wei waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, Brother Seventeen, I'll save these things. Besides, I'm just saying these things in front of all my younger brothers. They're all my brothers, so there's nothing to worry about."

Zhu Wei obviously didn't care about this, and seeing this, Zhu Quan didn't continue.

Maybe there are some things that can only be taken seriously after you have suffered a disadvantage.

"Okay, brothers, let's not talk too much. It will be extremely lively in the morning. I can't wait to see the majesty of His Highness the eldest grandson."

"Let's go."

Zhu Wei said with a smile.

He said so on the lips, but he still felt a little guilty in his heart. At this last moment, he hurriedly said a few good words about His Royal Highness the eldest grandson to make up for it.

Today's capital is extremely lively.

This excitement is in the most prosperous area of ​​the entire capital, the streets near the Qinhuai River.

Because since three days ago, there have been many high-end places, whether it is restaurants, tea houses, silk shops, jewelry shops, or rice shops and many other large places.

The publicity has started early in the entire capital, and there will be an activity with great discounts and big rewards.

The term "big discount and big reward" is a bit novel to the people of Daming today.

However, as the name suggests, the meaning can still be guessed somewhat.

Then there was a special person who explained that on September [-]th, anyone who bought anything in the store could enjoy a [-]% discount.

This kind of activity, Lungu so far, is completely the first time.

To use the simplest analogy, if you buy a product that originally required [-] bills, you only need [-] bills today.

A full [-]% less.

Such phenomena are enough to drive the people of the entire capital crazy.

Who knows, after this village, there can still be this shop?

This event includes all people's livelihood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, all of which are covered in it.

This also led to a situation where all the people started to mobilize.

The so-called empty street is nothing more than that.

There were people queuing up at the entrances of various stores in the early morning, because the merchants had already announced that this event was limited.

Not only the personal limit, but also the stock limit, if you wait too late, you won't be able to buy it.

In front of Ping An Tea House, Uncle Zhang stood at the door, looked at the empty tea house, and sighed a little: "This is the first time that our tea house business is so quiet."

The clever boy next to him replied: "My lord, if it weren't for the inseparable people in the teahouse, the little ones would like to queue up to buy some things. I have never heard of such things when the little ones grow up to be so big." .”

"In the past, it was fine if the store didn't raise the price. This [-]% discount is too shocking."

The boy was talking, but he couldn't stop looking at the street.

It can be seen that all stores with red cloth hanging on them are stores with discounts this time.

And in front of these stores, there is really a long queue, and you can't see the end at a glance.

On the street, the patrols of the Wucheng Bingma Division were all dispatched, as if they had been instructed long ago, and there were patrols guarding every intersection.

Next to the store with the red cloth hanging, there are also patrols watching. Anyone who wants to jump in the line will just go up and beat the line with two sticks, without showing any mercy.

Even some big families, even the stewards and compradors of Xungui's family, don't give face.

The patrolmen of the Wucheng Bingma Division are very shrewd. The real big families don't care about such petty profits.

And facing such a fair queue, the common people living in the capital are really not used to it.

Among the team, it was rare to see scholars, farmers, businessmen, and all standing together.

These literati lords on weekdays, how could they be ranked behind the ordinary people? This is not nonsense.

But for those stores that don't hang red cloths.

This is a kind of torture.

For example, the two adjacent wine shops have roughly the same wine business on weekdays, but today.

The shop with the red cloth hanging on it hasn't opened yet, and there are hundreds or thousands of people queuing up.

And those who did not hang the red cloth, even if the door has been opened, there is no one.

Who can bear this difference.

But when you think of the [-]% discount, who is willing to, it's not a loss of your own money.

If you can't bear it, you have to bear it.

These shops with red cloths have also explained before that they will open for business at the end of the day and the beginning of the day, that is, at nine o'clock.

So even if the sky is slightly bright now, you still have to wait for an hour.

Even so, none of the people in line complained.

If you are unhappy, just leave, there will be many people who want to buy it.

Outside the Fengtian Gate, civil and military officials were already waiting here.

"Today's grand event in the capital is really rare to see. It's [-]% discounted. This old man wants to be a part of it."

"My lord is just joking. Is it possible that there is no one at your lord's house to go and line up early?"

"Haha, the wife, the housekeeper, and the servants, except for one or two people staying at home, have basically gone. How can you miss such a good thing, let alone me, is it possible that your family didn't go?"

"Hehe, I have to go, I have to go, this is such a good thing, don't miss it, my wife has been clamoring for a gold bracelet, and this time the Jinyu Building in the capital actually has a [-]% discount."

"Don't tell me, since the day before yesterday, the mother-in-law at home has been talking about it every day, and she is almost out of her ears. She can't read the book. At least she has survived until today."

"My lords, I almost missed the time when I came here from home today. The street is really too crowded."

"After so many years in the capital, this is the first time I have encountered such a scene. It turns out that there are so many people in our capital city. When I went out, it scared me."

Even with the discipline, the civil servants couldn't help whispering, basically outside the Fengtian Gate, and the guards didn't take it too seriously.

Obviously, when many officials went out before dawn, they were affected by the crowd on the streets of the capital.

It's just that it is a big event for officials to go to court, and the five city soldiers and horses on duty on the street will open special roads for them.

Otherwise, when the time comes, I am afraid that more than half of the officials will not be able to catch up.

This is the case for civil servants, and basically the same for military officials.

The export of goods with [-]% discount involved the entire capital.

Only some honorable ministers at the top will not be affected.

Lan Yu and other noble generals gathered together.

Compared with the civil servants' team, it was much more casual, with Sapphire as the center, gathering together to chat.

The guards on the city wall also turned a blind eye to this.

After all, the most unruly people are all their own superiors, if they really want to act according to the law, they will feel uncomfortable afterwards.

"Duke Liang, His Highness the eldest grandson should officially participate in the court meeting today. I have been looking forward to today for a long time."

Lan Yu laughed, and said, "Don't worry, you'll understand later, there's no need to say anything now, nothing to say."

Many nobles from Huaixi understood and had smiles all over their faces.

At this moment, in front of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Ying's hand and asked, "Grandson, are you ready?"
