The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

In the 32st year of Hongwu, the first day of the first month.

The sound of crackling firecrackers made Zhu Ying feel a little dazed.

Speaking of which, this is already his seventh year in Beijing, and also his No. 17 year in Daming.

17 years, suddenly like a dream.

This has changed the course of history.

The Sapphire case that was supposed to appear disappeared, which also made the current Daming extremely diverse in terms of generals.

It can be said that almost all of the more than 5000 people involved in the Sapphire case survived.

However, the biggest change was still in Zhu Yuanzhang.

Originally, under the double blow of Empress Ma and Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang became crazy and brutal in his later years.

Whenever there is something he doesn't like, he kills people at every turn.

This is the key to the fact that the officials of Fengtian Palace always leave their last words when they go to court.

Then there is the accumulation of illness.

As far as model workers are concerned, there has never been Zhu Yuanzhang who worked so hard in all dynasties.

It is even fiercer than the 996 blessings of later generations.

It really means that as long as you can't die, you will die.

With such a method, let alone an elderly person, even a young person, the chance of sudden death will increase linearly.

I have to say that Lao Zhu's physical fitness is really tough.

Just doing that would make him the longest-lived emperor in history.

Hidden under this desperate work, there is also the deep pain in the early morning.

Empress Ma is the love of Lao Zhu's life, and this is already a very powerful blow.

Originally, Lao Zhu's future of Daming was entrusted to Prince Zhu Biao, but he just sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man.

Under such heartbreak, only by desperately dealing with government affairs can this kind of pain be forgotten for a short time.

Fortunately, Zhu Ying is here.

The appearance of Zhu Ying has undoubtedly become Zhu Yuanzhang's spiritual sustenance. As for Zhu Yunwen, although he is indeed his grandson in blood, it is completely different from his eldest grandson.

In fact, let alone Zhu Ying being canonized as the grandson of the emperor, even rectifying his name is extremely difficult.

Who would believe that the grandson of the emperor who had been dead for ten years suddenly came back to life?

Normally, even if there was only a [-]% chance that Zhu Ying was a fake, he would not be given the position of grandson.

Not to mention such an absurd appearance, most people feel that it is [-]% impossible.

What's the matter with looking alike, there are a lot of alikes in this world.

Theoretically speaking, even if Zhu Ying rectified her name, at most it would be a special gift to a vassal. After all, there is no paternity test these days.

But the timing of Zhu Ying's appearance was too correct.

During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang had already fallen into rage.

Not only in the court, but even in the palace, it can be said that there is a lot of jitters all day long.

Perhaps any eunuch who didn't do a little thing well would be executed directly by the furious Zhu Yuanzhang, even skinned and filled with grass, or beaten to death.

At this time, Lao Zhu was no longer different from the tyrant.

Suspicion, jealousy, and cruel temperament are undoubtedly manifested, and they are displayed vividly.

But who can do anything.

Under Jin Yiwei's supervision, any disturbances, as long as they make Lao Zhu suspect, will be wiped out.

Everyone is in danger is not enough to describe being in the imperial palace.

In such an environment, it can be said that they are all living in dire straits.

At this time, Zhu Ying appeared.

When Zhu Ying appeared, the change of Lao Zhu was very obvious.

The ministers suddenly discovered that His Majesty has not killed many people recently, and some colleagues who were bound to die have become normal punishments.

The eunuchs noticed that His Majesty, who had always been gloomy, began to smile.

The biggest change is in Jinyiwei.

After all, it is a directly affiliated organization, and Jiang Yu has always been under great pressure. You must know that if Jin Yiwei fails to fulfill His Majesty's orders, it will basically be dead.

But after Zhu Ying appeared, it was completely different.

Even if some small things are not done well, His Majesty will not care so much.

In this case, what else does Jiang Yu need to consider, he must protect his grandson, whether he is true or not, it is right to save his own life first.

After Zhu Ying's existence was exposed, the ministers didn't feel like confrontation at all.

Let alone questioning whether it will lead to being skinned and used as grass, the existence of the eldest grandson is completely a talisman for his own life.

Not to mention the eunuch.

So when the eldest grandson of the emperor, who seemed to have died strangely for ten years, appeared again, everyone seemed to have the same tacit understanding.

Not to mention a few princes.

For example, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fang, and Zhu Di, who are at the top of the ranking, are like obedient babies in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even if he had thoughts in his heart, at least he didn't dare to reveal half of it before Zhu Yuanzhang was alive.

I thought maybe after Zhu Yuanzhang died, he could question Zhu Ying's identity as the eldest grandson of the emperor.

But Zhu Ying grew up too fast.

In just three years, it has become a colossus, and the momentum behind it is overwhelming the entire Ming Dynasty.

Up to now, even if Zhu Yuanzhang really died, the vassal kings have no intention of rebelling.

They can no longer understand Daming now.

It is precisely because of Zhu Ying's handling of government affairs that he governs under the roof and decentralizes power, so that while Zhu Yuanzhang has spiritual sustenance, he does not need to work so hard.

Coupled with Zhu Ying's vigorous development of medicine and health care for Zhu Yuanzhang, his originally depleted body slowly recovered.

As far as Zhu Yuanzhang's physical condition is concerned, not to mention that he will definitely live to be a hundred years old, at least there is no possibility of accidents at present.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhu Ying was still very busy.

Worshiping ancestors, holding banquets, there are still many processes in the palace.

Xiao Wencheng will be four years old this year.

The chubby little face is really cute, imitating the adult appearance and begging Zhu Yuanzhang for Feng Hong.

Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't closed his mouth all day, and he has to smile a few more wrinkles.

The Spring Festival of Ming Dynasty became more and more lively with the development of economy.

Not only Ming Dynasty, but also Annan, Champa, Wa, Koryo, and even the Western Regions were greatly affected by the Spring Festival.

The imperial court has a seven-day holiday.

This is a new rule, specially proposed by Zhu Ying.

In the past few days, Zhu Ying has been playing with the concubines to relax.

Wa country, Kyushu island.

At present, this place has become the territory directly under the four vassal lords, and of course it must conform to the Ming Dynasty's Spring Festival.

It is rare that the four great feudal lords also gathered together.

Zhu Di and Zhu Yan are still at odds. Although they have joined forces in some business now, the gap in the past is not so easy to dissipate.

"Fourth, if I remember correctly, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, you are the major shareholder behind the scenes. I heard that the recent losses in the country are not small. Almost all the banks under your name went bankrupt and were bought by the Royal Bank, which also affected Other transactions."

Zhu Yan laughed loudly, teasing Zhu Di while drinking and eating meat.

Seeing Zhu Di lose money makes him happier than making a lot of money himself.

Zhu Di sullenly said, "I'm having a hard time, don't you think it's going to be easy for you? Your bank is also gone."

The four vassal kings have fished so many mineral deposits here in the country of Wa, and naturally their financial resources have soared, and all the vassal kings have business investing in banks.

Zhu Yan said indifferently: "My small business can't compare with your big business. If you lose money, you will lose money."

Obviously, Zhu Di's Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is much bigger than the other vassal kings in terms of the business of the bank.

As the seventh child, Zhu Mi saw the third brother and the fourth brother fighting each other, so he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and prepared to eat melons on the spot.

I was still wondering if I would fight if I got too anxious.

Hands-on scenes are not without it, and it is so refreshing to watch every time.

It was Zhu Xi who reprimanded: "For those who celebrate the New Year, don't spoil the joy."

It sounded like he was talking to the two of them, but Zhu Xi's eyes were on the third child, and it was obvious that the third child started this matter.

Zhu Xi is the leader of the kings, and he still has some deterrent power.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan smiled and no longer confronted Zhu Di, since his goal had already been achieved anyway.

"Okay, fourth brother, don't take it to heart. If you lose a little, you will lose a little. Everyone will lose a lot. It's not a big deal."

"Our key this year is still on Luzon's side."

The gathering of the four kings is naturally not just for celebrating the Spring Festival, it is also related to interests.

Zhu Xi went on to say: "The Lu family has already discovered a lot of gold mines, and they are currently arresting local aborigines for mining. I think we will be able to see the benefits in two months."

"I heard reports a few days ago that we have seen many merchant ships from Ming Dynasty outside Luzon. This is not a good thing."

"If the imperial court finds out about our stationing in Luzon, everyone should know what will happen."

When it came to business, the expressions of several people became serious.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "The reason for the emergence of merchant ships, in the final analysis, is because of the relationship with Hong Kong Island. I have confirmed that our good nephew established a chamber of commerce called Daming Ocean Trading and set up its headquarters on Hong Kong Island."

"There is a problem with the Hong Kong Dental Bank, and it has been implicated in my people. At present, it is no longer possible to control the adjacent waters."

"And Taisun arranged for the fleet to go to Malacca, presumably to defend the entrance to the West, but this is likely to affect Luzon."

"Our ships can no longer pretend to be pirates and drive away merchant ships approaching Luzon, otherwise they will definitely attract the attention of the Daming Navy."

Several people nodded, approving Zhu Di's statement.

Zhu Xing looked at Zhu Xun and asked, "How is the current situation in Lu Song?"

Zhu Yan was the first to send people to the island, so he naturally knew more about the situation in Luzon.

Zhu Bing frowned and said: "The natives of Luzon have little influence on us. The most troublesome thing is the Sulu Sultanate. They also have firearms in their hands. Although they don't have many, relying on the advantage of being familiar with the geographical location, it is very important for us to control the entire territory of Luzon. big impact."

"It is only a matter of time before they are defeated, but if they send someone to the capital for help, it will be difficult not to expose us."

"The Sulu Sultanate was newly established in the 23rd year of Hongwu. It is not a local aborigine, but a Minangkabau from Sumatra."

Hearing the name Sumatra, the complexions of the princes were not very good.

Sumatra is located near Malacca, and now the Daming Navy is heading to Malacca.

The establishment of the Sulu Sultanate less than ten years ago must have a very close relationship with Sumatra.

This means that in the face of threats, the Sulu Sultanate will definitely borrow troops from Sumatra, not to mention sending people to the Ming capital.

Sumatra's movements are hard to hide from the Daming Navy.

This will eventually expose the fact that the four major vassals stationed troops in Luzon.
