The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 351
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Grandson is familiar with her, I haven't seen it much before."

After exchanging pleasantries and memories, Xu Yihua finally stepped into the main topic of this time.

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Ning's cloudy eyes flashed a faint light, and she said to Xu Yihua with a half-smile: "It's the fourth brother who asked you to come to the palace, and wants to know something about it."

After Empress Ma died and Concubine Li Shu passed away, Concubine Ning was able to become the head of the harem, how could it be so simple.

Although he has never been involved in politics, he has a more or less understanding of political matters.

What's more, it was about His Royal Highness, when she just entered the palace a few months ago, Concubine Ning asked someone to investigate the situation, including looking through the files of Jin Yiwei.

Concubine Ning is very clear about the matter between Zhu Di and Zhu Ying.

She knew it, but she hadn't talked to Zhu Yuanzhang about it, and he believed that His Majesty must also know it well.

One is his son and the other is his grandson.

This kind of problem, after all, is left and right, and it is difficult to choose.

Now nothing is happening on the surface, so I just let it go.

When Xu Yihua asked, Concubine Ning naturally understood after thinking for a while.

She had heard a few days ago that an overseas recruiting center had been set up outside, and now the fiefdoms of the vassal kings would be taken back in the near future, and those who wanted to have fiefdoms could only expand their territory by themselves.

Otherwise, he would be a rich and idle prince.

With Zhu Di's temperament, it is naturally impossible to be an idle prince, and with the conquest of the Japanese kingdom, some things are not difficult to guess.

"I know I can't hide it from the empress."

Xu Yihua was not surprised or surprised, and said with a smile.

Such a generous response made Concubine Ning laugh too, and said: "You, you are still so straightforward. But let me explain to you first, the grandson is His Majesty's favorite, so don't make any wrong ideas. "

"In His Majesty's eyes, you can't rub the sand. Even if I go and say it, I have to be careful."

At the beginning, Concubine Ning proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang the method of blood recognition, although Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed on the surface, but until the Taisun canonization, this topic has not been brought up.

Concubine Ning didn't know if she forgot or was willing, but she knew very well that no matter if it was intentional or otherwise, it was impossible to remind His Majesty about the grandson's confession of blood.

In addition to the appearance of the grandson, it is said that it has nothing to do with the prince. No one would believe this. Later, Xiaoling was also dug up, and the coffin and body disappeared.

Basically, it can be explained clearly.

To mention this matter again, I am afraid that His Majesty will be furious and offend the grandson, but it will not be beneficial.

Concubine Ning also secretly observed the grandson's character and character.

In all aspects of ability, are very good.

In many places, there is a sense of familiarity with His Majesty.

Concubine Ning really felt at ease with the white belly pocket and the eyebrows similar to Empress Ma.

Hearing Concubine Ning's instructions, Xu Yihua immediately said, "Your Majesty, the grandson is the nephew of King Yan. They have known each other since they were in Beiping, and I was lucky enough to meet them once."

"Before this, there may have been some misunderstandings, and I can't explain too much. After all, we are a family, and I don't think some things are so serious."

"His Royal Highness Taisun hand-picked King Yan as the Great General to Conquer the Wo. It can be seen that he still trusts King Yan in his heart."

Listening to Xu Yihua's explanation, Concubine Ning nodded lightly, and then said with a smile: "That's the case, then why did you enter the palace this time?"

Xu Yihua's expression seemed resentful, and he said: "Your Majesty, could it be that Yihua can't come into the palace to see you and Your Majesty?"

Concubine Ning didn't like this, and said with a smile: "I don't know if you are so careful, tell me, what is going on, if you don't talk about it now, don't talk about it later."

Xu Yihua suddenly felt embarrassed.

The skill and rhythm of the speaking, as expected, Jiang is still old and spicy.

He could only bite the bullet and say: "Yihua just wants to invite His Royal Highness Taisun. If you have spare time, you can go to Prince Yan's Mansion to catch up on the old days."

Concubine Ning was silent for a while upon hearing this.

Naturally, she would not feel afraid that Zhu Di would treat His Royal Highness the Grandson badly. This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If there is any inappropriate behavior, then, among other things, King Yan will definitely be demoted to a commoner and stripped of his imperial status.

It's just that Concubine Ning is thinking in her heart whether she should help in this matter, or what will happen after helping.

He is Concubine Ning and Concubine Guo Ning at the same time.

Not only at Lao Zhu's house, but also at Lao Guo's house.

His own child, Zhu Tanxuan, passed away early, but his grandson is still there.

The eldest brother Guo Xing left early, the eldest son also died in the war, and there are still a few sons who need to be taken care of.

The second elder brother Guo Ying can be regarded as an extremely human minister now, he is the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards and has won His Majesty's trust.

But she is aware of His Majesty's temperament, the more she is trusted, the more cautious she has to be, if she is impeached by someone, it will arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

Once caught in suspicion, it is basically qualitative.

In normal times, no matter what it is, do not exceed half a step at all, and abide by etiquette.

Seeing Concubine Ning lost in thought, Xu Yihua's expression became a little anxious. Facing the lord of the harem, she had nothing to offer, the only thing she had was the emotion she had in the palace.

After many years, Xu Yihua has no idea what will happen now.

They had to wait quietly for Concubine Ning's final words.

After thinking about it, Concubine Ning looked at Xu Yihua, feeling a little embarrassed, but she really liked Xu Yihua a child, and the past came to her mind, Concubine Ning sighed softly: "Forget it, forget it, I will help you this time."

"The relationship between their uncle and nephew is also a matter of their own family, but the old man has no way to decide on this matter. What happens next depends on them themselves."

"If His Majesty the Grandson insists on not seeing him, there is nothing I can do about it. You also understand His Majesty's temper."

"In my opinion, there is no need to go to Yanwang's mansion. It will be the end of the year soon. This is the first year that the grandson came back, and His Majesty will definitely make a big deal. In addition, many princes have come over this year, so naturally Have a fun year."

"On that festive day, find an opportunity to let the uncle and nephew have a good chat. What do you think?"

After Xu Yihua listened, he hesitated for a while and said: "Everything is up to your mother's orders."

Concubine Ning smiled and said: "You, you, it's His Majesty's place, go to pay your respects too, but there is no need to say too much. If you talk too much, you will make a lot of mistakes. Now in this palace, the only thing that can make His Majesty bias If there is a grandson, including the old man, he must be in the lower row."

"Although the old man is old, he is still innocent in his heart."

This is Concubine Ning waking up Xu Yihua, almost directly telling him that the grandson is with His Majesty, don't even mention it.

With His Majesty's temperament, if you say a few more words, you may suspect that you have some bad intentions.

"Yihua understands."

Xu Yihua replied with flashing eyes.

She can be regarded as a real insight into what is going on with His Highness the Grandson at His Majesty's place.

This own King Yan is completely incomparable.

Concubine Ning was jealous of everything she said inside and outside. In my impression, even the crown prince was not so favored back then, right?

It is conceivable that the current grandson is almost no different from His Majesty.

This made Xu Yihua feel a lot of scruples and a little bit of grievance.

They are all princes and grandchildren, how can they be so biased.

After saluting, Xu Yihua stepped out of the gate of the harem and walked away in the wind and snow.

Concubine Ning stood in front of the door, looked at Xu Yihua's back, and sighed softly.

"Is it ripe? How long will it take? We can't wait any longer. This fragrance makes us feel so comfortable."

"Grandpa, it has to be baked, it's coming soon."

"Hurry up, hurry up, then who, Liu He, bring us the tongs quickly."

"Grandpa, be careful it burns."

"Hey, grandson, you don't know, we have such a mouth, how can we be afraid. Oops, we're scalded to death."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, quickly, send the imperial physician."

"Nonsense, can this burn us? Back then, we were never afraid of being scorched. In this weather, having a mouthful of hot food is something we never dreamed of."

"Grandpa, eat slowly, don't choke"

In the main hall of the Qianqing Palace of the Daming Palace, the doors and windows were closed tightly, and many piles of charcoal fires rose in the house.

In the center of the hall, on a few small stools, Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang sat facing each other, with a brazier in the middle.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was taking the freshly baked sweet potatoes and devouring them.

"Cool!!! Our bones are warmed up, comfortable, really comfortable, or you know, this sweet potato is roasted and eaten like this, in this severe winter season, it really warms your heart."

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped after eating most of it, and said to his grandson with a smile.

Holding the tongs, Zhu Ying picked up the bottom of the basin, arched the fire, and replied with a smile: "Grandpa, this way of eating is really a must for sweet potatoes. When my grandson was in the Western Regions, every winter, he loved it the most. This is the baked sweet potato."

"It's delicious and sweet, and it can also fill your stomach and keep you from the cold. With this baked sweet potato, my grandson has attracted many people in the Western Regions, and it can be regarded as a lot of people alive."

"In the years to come, I hope that the people of Daming can eat such a bite of roasted sweet potatoes every winter. Thinking about this day, I have more hope."

Listening to what the grandson said, Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed and said: "When we were begging on the streets, the most difficult thing was winter. If it was cold and snowy, someone would give us such a piece of roasted sweet potato, it would really take out our hearts. "

"However, I have been begging for many years, and I have not eaten the next meal. It is common for me to be hungry for several days. How can I get such alms."

Zhu Yuanzhang wandered for three years, went south from Haozhou to Hefei, then turned west and entered Henan, arrived at Gushi, Xinyang, went north to Ruzhou, Chenzhou and other places, passed through Luyi and Bozhou in the east, and finally returned to Huangzhou. Jue Temple.

Begging is not a simple matter, and being able to beg for a bite of food also requires skill.

Begging for three years, traveled all over Huaixi, the famous capital of Dayi, got in touch with the customs and customs of various places, saw the world, broadened his horizons, and accumulated social life experience.The hard wandering life created Zhu Yuanzhang's resolute and courageous character, but it also made him cruel and jealous.

Struggling to survive at the bottom, in troubled times, is like walking on the edge of purgatory.

Those who are not hard-hearted, not ruthless, too thin-skinned, and dull-minded, have already turned into dust and dispersed.

Go out, walk back, never save one.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not the lucky one, and perhaps only he himself knew some of the appalling experiences.

"Speaking of which, we still have to thank Tang He. If he hadn't written us a letter, we wouldn't have been able to join the Red Scarf Army until today."

Holding the hot sweet potato, Zhu Yuanzhang looked out the window and murmured, "It's been nearly fifty years since then."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said: "Liu He."

"The minister is here."

"Take some of these baked sweet potatoes and send them to Duke Xin, and let him warm up."

"The minister obeys the order."

Liu He quickly picked up the tongs, carefully pulled out a sweet potato, and glanced at His Majesty from the corner of his eye.

"One is enough, at least two. Just two, there are only a few in total. We and our grandson still have to eat."

"The minister obeys the order."

Liu Hepa pulled out two baked sweet potatoes, immediately summoned the little officials, covered them with silk scarves, and packed them in wooden boxes.

The little eunuch took the wooden box, bowed and retreated to the entrance of the main hall, carefully pushed a little gap, quickly slipped out and closed it tightly, for fear that the wind and snow outside would disturb His Majesty's pleasure.

There was still a bit of cold wind blowing, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was warm, didn't care.

Smiling and taking the tongs, Zhu Yuanzhang skillfully pulled out a large roasted sweet potato, took it from Liu He who had prepared a silk scarf, and handed the rear end to Dasun: "Come, Dasun, eat."

Zhu Ying took it with a smile: "Okay."

Old and young, they ate again in the cold and snow.

This winter, for all the people living at the bottom of the capital, that is, all kinds of workshops.

Truly the best winter ever.

"It's all thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness, that we can have such a peaceful life. I never imagined that the street would be so clean."

"Those beggars, helpers, all disappeared."

"In this world, there is really more and more hope."

"Yes, it was difficult to buy some firewood in previous years. At the end of the year, the price will inevitably increase. Thanks to His Royal Highness, those profiteers can't raise the price. Now the price is really unimaginable."

"Have you heard that at the Sanyuan Lane, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is selling charcoal. I heard that it is a good thing. It can burn for several hours when it is ignited. The price is not much more expensive than firewood."

"It's true, is charcoal something we ordinary people can buy?"

"Why are you lying to me? It's been spread all over the streets and alleys, and you're the only one who doesn't know about it because you lie at home all day long."

"Lie down more, won't this save some food, not much to say, there are still some for sale, I have to go buy some soon."

"Go together, go together."

Even the severe cold and snow cannot stop the enthusiasm of the common people living in the village.

There are more and more people on this street.

However, the closer you get to Sanyuan Lane, you can actually feel a little warmth in this severe cold.

Passers-by walked faster and faster.

Turning the corner of the alley, it suddenly became lively.

It is not surprising that the crowd is piled on top of each other. What is shocking and inexplicable is that in the upper corridor, there is a brazier standing every few meters.

The hot air in the brazier is so warm that it seems that you can let go of your hands and feet.

"Where is it, why can't I see the end?"

"In the front lobby, hey, the queue is really slow, and I don't know how long it will take to get to our side."

"Don't mention it, the lobby in front is very warm. It is said that the coat is a little hot, but there are government servants chasing people inside. When we get inside, it's enough to buy a few catties of charcoal. Don't wait too long."

"If it's our turn, we'll have to spend more time, hahaha."

Hearty laughter, one after another.

For many years, in this capital city, I have never heard such heartfelt cheers from the people.
