The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

In the 29th year of Hongwu, the eighth day of February.

Zhu Yunqi and the Lu family left the capital with [-] soldiers, of course Huang Zicheng and other civil servants followed.

Speaking of it, among the many overseas vassals, Zhu Yunqi's treatment is undoubtedly the best.

Like Zhu Di, Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yu, they all have to conquer the city by themselves, and then get canonized.

The same is true for Zhu Xi, who also went to the country of Wa not long ago.

Zhu Yu, as the leader of the kings, only has a guard size of [-] soldiers, but his [-] soldiers are all veterans of the battlefield. They have fought with Zhu Yu for many years and have rich experience. They are much stronger than ordinary soldiers. .

On the other hand, for Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Ying, as the elder brother, had already found the feudal land for him. He not only arranged for generals and civil servants, but also helped him afford the military salary of [-] soldiers.

The most important thing is that Champa is a prosperous place for Chinese and foreign commerce and foreign trade. It is close to the slightly dangerous Annan, and it has now been completely pacified.

There is also a Ming navy stationed in Champa, and Annan is also guarded by a large number of Ming troops. Zhu Yunqi, as a vassal king, is also the younger brother of His Royal Highness Taisun. If there is any trouble, whether it is Annan’s Ming army or Champa There is no possibility for the stationed navy to stand idly by.

So safe, yet so prosperous, the past of Zhu Yunqi and the Lu family was almost like enjoying a blessing.

This made other princes and grandchildren very envious, including Zhu Ying's younger brother Zhu Yunxi.

At this time, Zhu Yunqi's fleet had already left.

The [-] soldiers were already waiting on the banks of the Yangtze River. The river here was too small. Although the lucky boats could barely get in, it would have a great impact on water traffic.

When Zhu Yunwen and the others reach the edge of the Yangtze River, they will transfer to a lucky boat and enter the sea, and then sail all the way to Champa.

Standing on the tower, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed softly.

For this grandson, before Zhu Ying appeared, it was also Zhu Yuanzhang's everything, and it was also the hope placed in the future.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to know that after his death, this hope will eventually be shattered, and the fourth child Zhu Di will take the lead.

Of course, no matter how you say it, the meat still rotted in the pot after all.

Just as far as the current emotion is concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that he is a little sorry for this grandson.

Fortunately, Dasun arranged it properly and gave such a good place.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Zhu Ying helped Zhu Yunqi to pay the military salary, and he was very pleased, which made him feel a lot better.

"Big grandson, do you think we will see Yun Wen again in this life?"

There was a little sadness in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone.

In the 29th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was already 69 years old.

In a blink of an eye, next year will be the year of the seventies.

It is rare to live in the [-]s. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang's health is still good now, he still feels that there has been a significant decline in all aspects.

It is already impossible to refuse to obey the old.

At this age, it can be said that half of the body is buried in the soil, far exceeding the average life expectancy of the emperors of the Central Plains.

"Grandpa, are you kidding? Given Grandpa's physical condition, it won't be a problem for grandson to see him turn [-]."

"There are still more than 30 years left. Grandpa, look at Liu Sanwu, who became an official at the age of 73. Now he is 83 years old. He is not living well. The days to come will be long."

Zhu Ying immediately smiled and said that a hundred years old is a little imaginary, so she took Liu Sanwu as an example.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he felt much better immediately.

A hundred years old is a bit far away, but Liu Sanwu is still alive and kicking at the age of 83, and Zhu Yuanzhang feels that he has no problem.

"Now we don't have too many thoughts about political affairs. With the grandson here, this Ming Dynasty will definitely become more prosperous and powerful in the future."

"We just want to live a little longer, to watch Xiao Wencheng grow up, and to see how the great grandson makes our Daming country more vast."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was serene, and his eyes were even more peaceful. At this point, he already felt very satisfied.

Previously, the biggest concern was the succession of the throne. Now that the old Zhu's family has his grandson in his pocket, there is nothing to worry about.

In all aspects, Zhu Yuanzhang also had to admit that in all aspects of development, Sun Zhiguo was much better than himself.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying's eyes moved slightly, and she hurriedly said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? If grandson didn't have Grandpa's checking and filling in the gaps, how could the grandson be as effective as he is now?"

"Grandpa is a giant, and I stand on the shoulders of giants to see this great Ming, and that's why I have today."

"The matter in the court can only be controlled by grandpa, and only grandpa can suppress those civil servants. If grandpa is not behind to give my grandson the truth, maybe they will bully me."

"Grandpa, my grandson is only 23 this year. How could he be the opponent of those old foxes? Now they are tucking their tails because they are afraid of grandpa, not grandson."

What people are most afraid of is lack of fighting spirit. Once the spirit breaks down, the body will also break down.

If a person with a heart ponders the secret of a long life, in addition to the necessary living conditions, he will also find that all people with a long life must have enough hope in their hearts.

There are small and big hopes for this hope, but it cannot be absent, especially for the elderly.

So Zhu Ying hurriedly said these words to stimulate the old man.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately changed.

"Let's see who dares to bully our eldest grandson. If anyone bullies our eldest grandson, we will take whose head."

The fierce aura was accompanied by an uplifting spirit, which finally made Zhu Ying feel relieved.

Recently, Zhu Ying has been devoting herself to the cultivation of medicine, and has invested a lot of money to help her development, with the emphasis on health care.

For example, the most authentic Wu Qin Xi has come to the palace now. If nothing happens, Zhu Ying will usually get up early and go to Qianqing Palace to practice Wu Qin Xi with the old man.

The first day of March.

Zhu Yuanzhang is taking Xiao Wencheng to enjoy the flowers in the back garden.

It is spring, and the flowers are in full bloom.

Xiao Wencheng, who was born in October of the 28th year of Hongwu, is now half a year old.

I haven't learned to crawl yet, so I babble and want to stand up and run.

"This little guy is young and ambitious, hahahaha."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily.

By Zhu Yuanzhang's side was Concubine Guo Ning, and Ye Yueqing also followed, other concubines were not qualified to come here at this time.

Concubine Guo Ning said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at Xiao Wencheng's eyebrows, he looks more and more like Yueqing. When he was just born, he was very similar to his grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it carefully, and said in surprise, "Oh, it's really true."

On the ground, Xiao Wencheng's body was covered with a thick cotton mattress and covered with silk and satin, allowing him to play freely on it.

As for Xiao Wencheng, as if smelling it, he persistently crawled towards Ye Yueqing.

Ye Yueqing smiled and changed direction to tease Xiao Wencheng, Xiao Wencheng stopped on the spot, changed direction, and crawled towards Ye Yueqing again.

"This little guy looks just like his grandson back then. When he was young, he was most attached to his mother."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Wencheng, and his eyes suddenly appeared when he and Empress Ma were leading Xiongying.

When she was not yet one year old, Xiao Xiongying was also like this, she was very attached to Chang Shi, and she had to be hugged by Chang Shi.

It's just that when Xiao Xiongying was four years old, Chang died of dystocia in giving birth to Zhu Yunxi, and Xiao Xiongying cried out for his mother all day long.

During that time, the hearts of Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma really melted into tears.

With today's Xiao Wencheng, Zhu Yuanzhang feels as if he has returned to the days when he and Empress Ma took care of Xiao Xiongying more than 20 years ago.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but took two steps forward, and gently hugged Xiao Wencheng.

"We also took care of children. When Xiongying was a child, we were the ones who brought him up."

There was a bit of pride in Zhu Yuanzhang's tone. He had been working hard as an emperor, but he never relaxed when it came to taking care of the little hero.

Ye Yueqing watched nervously, and didn't feel relieved until seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's posture of holding the child was very correct.

The child's body is weak, so he has to put his arms around his back to hold him up.

Zhu Yuanzhang's movements are obviously extremely skilled.

Although Xiao Wencheng wanted to run to Ye Yueqing all the time, when Zhu Yuanzhang hugged him, except for the feeling of crying at the beginning, he turned around and played with Zhu Yuanzhang's beard.

There was obvious curiosity in the eyes, and the little pink hands were pulling on Zhu Yuanzhang's white hair and beard. Xu was a little happy to play, and let out a hahaha laugh.

Concubine Guo Ning next to her said with envy in her tone: "Little Wencheng, His Majesty is only allowed to get close to Concubine Taisun, and no one else can hug her. Even a nurse will not be hugged after breastfeeding."

"This is Your Majesty. The last time the concubine saw the grandson wanting to hug him, but when he got it, Xiao Wencheng started crying. It was useless after coaxing him for a long time. Xiao Wencheng was very stubborn. It was only in Concubine Taisun's arms that she settled down."

No wonder Concubine Guo Ning was not envious.

Xiao Wencheng is very serious about life, he is not good at anyone, and his temper is extremely stubborn. Once he starts to cry, it does not meet his wishes, but he will not stop no matter what.

Especially when it comes to hugging, no one is good at it except Ye Yueqing.

Even if it's Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Ying, they can't hold each other for a long time, and they have to hold Xiao Wencheng's mind tightly. Once they are sleepy or hungry, they have to be held by Ye Yueqing.

For her own child, Ye Yueqing is also very concerned. Although she has a nanny, in most cases, she feeds Xiao Wencheng by herself during the day, that is, the nanny takes care of her at night.

Xiao Wencheng especially looks for the smell on Ye Yueqing's body, and others are not good at it.

But when they came out, Ye Yueqing had to be by the side, otherwise they would start crying soon.

The crying was completely endless.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Xiao Wencheng was pulling his white beard, and said with a smile: "Your grandpa doesn't have much beard, if you didn't pull it, you would have to pull it all off. .”

After finishing speaking, she turned to Concubine Guo Ning and said, "Xiao Xiongying was like this back then. At that time, we and the elder sister wanted to sleep with Xiao Xiongying, but Xiao Xiongying refused."

"In the end, I had no choice but to wait for Xiao Xiongying to fall asleep, and then sneakily hug Xiao Xiongying over."

"This night, it's the most annoying. It's always in the middle of the night before you can fall asleep."

Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about the past, but he didn't notice that Xiao Wencheng lost his beard when he turned his head to play.

I couldn't reach it with my hand, so I burst into tears with a "wow".

Zhu Yuanzhang hurried over to coax him, lowered his head and put the beard into Xiao Wencheng's hands, but once Xiao Wencheng started crying, he had no intention of stopping at all, and he stopped playing with the beard.

With no other choice, Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to hand over Xiaowen to Ye Yueqing.

Even Ye Yueqing coaxed him for a while before he stopped, but when the voice stopped, Xiao Wencheng also fell asleep.

When the crying stopped, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Xiao Wencheng is really not as good as Xiao Xiongying. Back then, Xiao Xiongying was in our arms, but he could play for half a day. If he was sleepy, he would just sleep in our arms."

Compared with Xiao Wencheng, Zhu Yuanzhang now misses the former Xiao Xiongying more.

After all, it was Xiao Xiongying who followed him for many years at that time, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself grew up by his side. Of course, the emotions are completely different.

The most important thing is that when Xiao Xiongying was with him, there were two big sisters together. This beautiful memory can be said to be the past that Zhu Yuanzhang misses the most.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is getting older, he doesn't have the energy to play with Xiao Wencheng as he did 20 years ago. Even if he hugs him, his arms will start to ache after a long time.

Therefore, the love for Xiao Xiongying is truly unique.

It seemed that God didn't want to see Zhu Yuanzhang so happy, just when Xiao Wencheng was falling asleep, an official hurried over.

"His Majesty, there is a letter from Xin Guogong's mansion. Xin Guogong's condition is getting worse, and I'm afraid he will die."

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Prepare the car, we have to go to Xin Guogong's mansion immediately."

After Jiang Yu heard the order, he immediately arranged for Jin Yiwei to clear the road.

The current capital is overcrowded, even on the road leading to the inner city, there are too many pedestrians.

The current situation is urgent, and the road must be blocked in advance.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the carriage with obvious anxiety on his face.

He kept urging the coachman to speed up, for fear that if he was late, he would not be able to catch up with the last moment.

In fact, as early as last year, Tang He's condition had already worsened once, and under the rescue of many imperial physicians, this was the only way to survive.

Tang He in history died of illness on August 28th, [-]th year of Hongwu. Now with Zhu Ying's support for medicine, he was able to survive the last time.

It's just that the imperial physician at the time also said that Tang He was already terminally ill, and it would be a miracle if he could be saved.

So after hearing the news that Tang He was critically ill, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Tang He was about to leave, and now he hurried over, just wanting to say a few more words to the old brother, and finally send the old brother off.

"Old brother, you have to wait for us, we are only an old brother like you."
