The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 367 Zhu Yuanzhang's Thoughts
In Kunning Palace, there are many people today.

Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Mingyue, Zhu Quan, Zhu Yunqi, all came here.

Naturally, many emperors and grandchildren came to pay New Year's greetings to Zhu Ying, but after the New Year's greetings, they left wisely.

Zhu Quan is an exception.

According to court etiquette, the emperor's uncles will come here tomorrow, including New Year greetings to their father, also in the second day of Zhengdan.

Because today's Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, has to accept congratulations from all officials, foreign ministers, and common people.

It's because there is not much difference in age, so Zhu Ying specially asked Zhu Quan to be called.

A little snow has not yet melted. Judging by the weather, it is estimated that it will snow again in a few days.

On the side of the Daming imperial family, there is also a weather forecast, which is the Qin Tianjian. Although it is not very accurate, it is probably not very different.

The letter that was reported meant that there would be snow in the next few days.

That's all.

Being able to observe the sky at night with the naked eye, Zhu Ying still felt a little amazing, some metaphysics always seemed to have such truths that outsiders could hardly understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the stone pavilion in the courtyard, with a brazier next to it.

Looking at the children and grandchildren playing in the yard.

His eyes suddenly became moist.

He thought of his favorite big sister.

Here, once upon a time, was the place where the big sister lived, every corner and every place, there was a big sister.

Once upon a time, in such a snowy day, the eldest sister was sitting next to her, watching her sons play.

"Be careful, don't fall."

There seemed to be a voice coming from the confusion, and Zhu Yuanzhang vaguely saw that it was the elder sister sitting beside him.

She was still so young and so beautiful.

Watching children playing in the yard.

Zhu Yuanzhang choked up, wanting to say something.

Where have you been for so many years, do you know how I survived alone.

Can you stay and stay with me.

Even though there were thousands of words in his throat, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't speak.

Watching quietly, greedily, he wanted to engrave the big girl's face deeply in his mind.

"What's wrong with grandpa, is the wind too strong?"

The familiar voice brought Zhu Yuanzhang's mind back to reality, and when he turned around, it was the eldest grandson.

Suddenly Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, and without answering, he quickly turned back and looked at the stone bench next to him.

It was so clean there, there was nothing there.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly, feeling like the cold wind, a little sad, and said: "The wind is a bit strong, and it has blinded us. Help us go back first."

Zhu Ying seemed to have noticed something, and instead of continuing to ask, she stepped forward to help the old man get up.

Sitting for a long time in this weather, even with a brazier to keep warm, I still feel a little numb.

If it is supported by others, no matter who it is, it will only be reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, because he cannot accept his own aging.

Only the eldest grandson is different.

"Father."

"Grandpa Emperor."

"His Majesty."

When Zhu Yuanzhang got up, the people who were having fun stopped immediately, and the eunuchs also hurried over.

No matter at any time, Zhu Yuanzhang is the focus of everyone's eyes, and his every move will always be subconsciously watched.

"We're a little tired, let's play first."

Zhu Yuanzhang explained something casually, and with Zhu Ying's support, he walked through the front yard and went to the Qianqing Palace.

Behind him is Liu He closely following.

Inside the hall, Zhu Ying said with concern: "Grandson stay here with grandpa."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment at first, and then said firmly: "You go with them, we want to be alone."

The present time is reserved for big girls.

Listening to the tone of voice, Zhu Ying knew that the old man didn't want to be disturbed, and she probably understood the old man's mood in her heart, so she nodded slightly.

After going out, tell Liu He that he must listen carefully to the old man at the door, but if there is anything to do, he must check the situation as soon as possible.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up after seeing the eldest grandson leave.

Go to the bookcase and take out a box from above.

Open the box, it is the jade pendant.

The jade pendant that was broken by Qin Wang Zhu Xi.

Now it has been restored by court craftsmen, at least on the bright side, it is the same as before.

Holding the jade pendant, Zhu Yuanzhang gently stroked it. It felt warm, as if the big girl had just returned.

"Rebel!"

Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang scolded.

It is difficult to make a broken mirror, even if the court craftsmen are too skilled, there will always be a trace of flaws.

This flaw is very obvious in Zhu Yuanzhang's touch. After all, since the eldest sister passed away, he has been carrying it with him, playing with it all the time, and thinking about others when he sees things.

That is, since the eldest grandson entered the palace, he put it in the bookcase and kept it away.

But that familiar touch has long been engraved in his bones after ten years.

In the empty hall, Zhu Yuanzhang just sat there blankly holding the jade pendant.

Once Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to stop, he was dealing with a lot of government affairs all the time, even Zhengdan who was going forward, after accepting the congratulations of hundreds of officials, he also reviewed the memorials.

He seldom has leisure time, because he doesn't want to, and dare not let his leisure down.

Just like now, remembering alone.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer Emperor Hongwu, but just an ordinary old man, thinking about his dead wife.

In the courtyard of Kunning Palace, Zhu Ying frowned slightly.

"Brother, what's the matter with Grandpa Huang?"

As a girl, Zhu Mingyue had a much more delicate mind, so she asked boldly.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Grandpa, what's the matter? Naturally, I can't stand the cold weather. You think you are as energetic as you."

Hearing this, Zhu Mingyue and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

But after such a release, the mood of having fun has faded a lot.

"Brother, can you tell us the story of the monkey? Last time it was said that the monkey was suppressed for 500 years, and what happened later."

Zhu Yunxi had an idea and asked.

Zhu Mingyue also became a little excited when she heard this.

The eldest brother told them this story before, but it was just a beginning, and there was not much to say later.

Novels are popular in Daming nowadays.

Like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Gods, they are extremely popular.

But no matter how good the story is, if you listen to it dozens of times, it will naturally lose its originality.

Journey to the West was completed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Although there are "Da Tang Sanzang Qujing Shihua", Jin Dynasty Academy's "Tang Sanzang", "Peach Fair", etc., Yuan Zaju includes Wu Changling's "Tang Sanzang Xitian Qujing", Anonymous's " "Erlang God Locks the Great Sage of Qi" and so on.

But the overall storyline is not as complete as Journey to the West.

So from Zhu Ying's narration, it is very attractive.

Zhu Yunqi also approached curiously, including Zhu Quan's eyes full of anticipation.

Who can refuse His Royal Highness to tell a novel in person, especially this novel, which seems to be very good.

Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Mingyue, as descendants of the royal family, although they felt that their status was a bit inferior before, but now the Ming royal family naturally has everything, and Zhu Yuanzhang sits in the palace.

There are no officials who are not open-eyed, and concubines dare to make things difficult, even if it is the Lu family, at least there is nothing wrong with it on the bright side.

As for novels, in the Imperial Palace Academy, even the coaches would occasionally tell about them.

The novels of this period are not considered difficult to be refined, on the contrary, it can be said that they are both refined and popular.

A novel that can make Zhu Mingyue and Zhu Yunxi eager to read is definitely not bad.

Looking at the expectant gazes of all the little ones, including Zhu Quan, Zhu Ying smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk in the house, it's cold outside, don't listen to a novel, it will freeze to death instead."

Zhu Ying himself is naturally not afraid of the cold. With his physique, even wearing unlined clothes, he can't feel any cold.

In the house, there is a fire.

Because Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Quan hadn't heard of it, they told it from the sky.

"The chaos is undivided, the sky and the earth are chaotic, the vastness is indistinct and no one sees it. Ever since Pangu broke the majesty, he has opened up the distinction between clear and turbid.."

The Journey to the West narrated by Zhu Ying is actually quite different from the original version, with a lot of private goods mixed in.

Including some conspiracies of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, as well as the forests of the Great Desolate Continent, there are a lot of narrations.

Such a complete immortal system, no one has heard of it before, and they are addicted to it all at once.

Even the little officials responsible for lighting the fire, as well as Guo Zhong, were all addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves.

Following the words of His Royal Highness Taisun, I was immersed in the dreamy and colorful story.

Different from the idleness of the court, the current Qunying Chamber of Commerce is extremely lively.

Especially the backbone of the chamber of commerce, it can be said that they are busy from morning till night.

Zhu Ying ordered many things, whether it was the construction of the five factories, the construction of the prison, and the preparations for the Lantern Festival, including the arrangement of the programs behind the palace.

Or the transformation of Zhengyang Avenue, the formula of cement, etc., are almost all in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

The Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the capital has already mobilized the backbone of the Western Regions, grasslands, and deserts. Even so, it still feels like there are not enough people.

Besides, everything here is extremely important to Daming, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

No part can go wrong.

In such a cold weather, Uncle Zhang was sweating slightly on his forehead, and one could imagine how busy the business was.

Ye Yueqing went to the palace in the morning to meet His Majesty, Concubine Ning, and Zhu Ying after paying New Year's greetings, and rushed out without stopping.

Ye Yueqing's responsibilities are no less than Zhang Bo's.

Like information security, Ye Yueqing is not only responsible for the Chamber of Commerce, but also checks the files sent by Jin Yiwei.

About the current investigation of dangerous people in the capital.

Behind all the tranquility is the silent efforts of countless people.

Moreover, Ye Yueqing took a few eunuchs and brought a lot of gifts to the courtyard by the Qinhuai River, where there was also the Gunpowder Department.

Went to visit Annan Princess Chen Muyue and Goryeo Princess Zhao Xiangxi.

Although His Highness Taisun didn't say anything, but to Ye Yueqing, he was already treated as a younger sister.

Everyone has feelings, grandson may have forgotten, or may not take it to heart, but Ye Yueqing must remember.

From the point of view of etiquette, Zhao Xiangxi and Chen Muyue should be paying New Year's greetings to Ye Yueqing, but their current situation is a bit special.

Even on New Year's Eve, she stayed alone, because there was no order from His Royal Highness, so she couldn't go to the palace.

"Sister, did His Royal Highness mention me recently?"

Chen Muyue asked a little shyly.

Now, she no longer had the self-confidence she had at the beginning, thinking that His Highness the Grandson must like her very much.

However, it turned out that since the [-] troops left the capital, His Royal Highness Taisun seemed to have forgotten her, and no more news came.

She stays alone in the boudoir every night, and she can't even go out.

I can only look forward to it, hoping that one day, His Royal Highness Taisun will be able to accept him into the palace.

"Your Highness naturally remembers it, but you also know that there are many affairs in the palace now, and His Highness has a special status, so it is impossible to spend day and night on this affair between men and women."

"This is the gift His Royal Highness specially asked me to bring to you."

Ye Yueqing said with a smile.

There were two big boxes outside, Chen Muyue wanted to see what they were, but since Ye Yueqing was here, she couldn't open her mouth.

"Open it and see."

Ye Yueqing smiled.

The officials immediately opened it, and one box was full of silk and satin, and the other box was all kinds of food boxes, with a strong aroma, obviously court food.

Chen Muyue didn't focus on eating, but picked up the fine silk and satin and felt it for a while, then asked Ye Yueqing, "Sister, would you like me to embroider a cloak for Your Highness?"

Ye Yueqing was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect Chen Muyue to have such an idea, but she didn't think too much, but encouraged her: "Of course it's possible, but you need to hurry up, if you can embroider it before the Lantern Festival, I would like to come to your Highness to embroider it." would be happy."

"Hmm." Chen Muyue nodded heavily.

Compared to Chen Muyue, Zhao Xiangxi is completely different.

Perhaps in terms of personality, Zhao Xiangxi has experienced more, has more burdens, and is more stable in mind.

Facing the gift from Ye Yueqing, he guessed in his heart that it must have nothing to do with His Highness.

"During this period of time, you have worked hard, but here in the spring we will conquer the Japanese kingdom, and the output of gunpowder cannot stop, and it needs to be in large quantities."

"At that time, His Highness's Xuanjiawei will follow him to Shaanxi to rehabilitate him, and he will also need a lot of matchlock guns."

After some simple greetings, Ye Yueqing said in a deep voice.

It has to be said that Zhao Xiangxi really helped a lot in the Gunpowder Department and played a great role.

Ye Yueqing felt that even if he did it by himself, it would be like this at most.

Management talents are sometimes more difficult to find than professional talents. Things like overall planning do not mean that talent and learning are enough.

Although Zhao Xiangxi is a woman, she has an unattainable talent in gunpowder, and because she is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Fengyang, Goryeo, she has a lot of management experience.

In addition, people in the Gunpowder Department generally thought that Zhao Xiangxi was the concubine of His Royal Highness, so no one dared to be a stabbing head.

The operation of the entire gunpowder department is very smooth.

"Sister, there is any news from my house."

This is the first time she has passed Zhengdan in Daming, and she is alone, so she will inevitably miss her hometown.

Ye Yueqing said: "After Master Daoyan went to Koryo, he was regarded as a national teacher, and now he is hoarding troops in Busan, and the former army has occupied Tsushima Island."

"Fengyang Zhao's family also follow the left and right."

What Ye Yueqing said was simple, and Zhao Xiangxi understood it clearly.

This has already shown that the family has now been tied to the big ship of His Highness the Grandson.

The implication of this is to make a good contribution to Daming. If the Wa country can be brought down, it will naturally benefit from the Zhao family's prosperity.

If not, no one knows what will happen then.

"Sister, don't worry, Xiangxi will not slack off, and will definitely go all out." Zhao Xiangxi said seriously.

Ye Yueqing nodded lightly, and then comforted: "Your Highness will remember all your achievements. Regarding your family, I have also sent a letter to Master Daoyan to take care of you, so you can rest assured."

Ye Yueqing did write to Yao Guangxiao.

However, what Ye Yueqing didn't know was that when her letter arrived in Koryo, the clansmen of Fengyang Zhao's army who joined the army had already been arranged as the vanguard and went to Tsushima Island.
