The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 89 That's Xiaoling

That was the only thing about Zhu Ying's life experience in Daming.

Judging by the fineness of the cloth, it can be regarded as a wealthy family.

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang became a little excited when he heard this.

"What kind of cloth is it, show it to us quickly." Zhu Yuanzhang said hastily.

"I can't do it now. I put the cloth in the Western Regions, but a few days ago, I arranged for someone to bring the cloth over. Then the old man will look at it for me."

Zhu Ying said that he didn't care too much about his own life experience.Bringing it over like this is just a matter of convenience.

After finishing speaking, Zhu Ying added with a smile: "At that time, I have prepared a surprise for the old man."

The surprise Zhu Ying mentioned is naturally sweet potatoes and potatoes, including corn.

Even if production is reduced, it is still very important to Daming today, and it can save a large number of victims.

"Tell us, what does that piece of cloth look like? Is it the clothes you wear on your body?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked impatiently after hearing the words.

Zhu Ying nodded: "When I was caught by my father from the river, my clothes were all in tatters. My father left me the embroidered piece."

"The cloth strips should be made of Shu brocade, with gold silk embroidered characters."

After hesitating for a while, Zhu Ying instructed: "The old man needs to be more careful. I should have been drowned in the river back then. I also asked someone to inquire about it in the capital."

"However, in the 15th year of Hongwu, especially in the summer, too many ministers were beheaded in the court. Maybe I was sunk because of that."

After the Western Regions, deserts, and grasslands gained certain power.

Zhu Ying sent people to the capital to inquire about his life experience.

But in the 15 years of Hongwu, especially during the summer period.

At about the same time as when Zhu Ying was sunk, Empress Ma was seriously ill and died.

His Majesty Longyan was furious, a large number of courtiers were beheaded, the families of countless ministers were broken, and too many families were copied and beheaded.

At Zhu Ying's age, too many died due to various reasons.

Zhu Ying, who got the news, speculated that she might be a child of a minister's family.

In ancient times, in order to avoid tragic consequences, it was not uncommon to drown one's own children.

So from then on, Zhu Ying also faded away from the idea of ​​finding her life experience.

If you are the heir of a criminal minister, or even the one who was condemned by the nine clans, wouldn't it be a trick to drill into the sea arrest document?

"Is there only one word?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

His eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying, was brought up by Empress Ma, and all of his underclothes were cut by Empress Ma herself.

Zhu Yuanzhang clearly remembered that when the grandson was buried, in the underwear he wore, there was a name embroidered by the eldest sister for the grandson: Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Ying explained: "That's not true. At that time, the clothes were torn, and there were not many English characters left. We can only vaguely distinguish it as an English character. As for how many characters there are, I don't know."

It is a very common phenomenon to embroider words, flowers, and poetry patterns on underwear.

Especially women, like it the most.

For example, many women's bellybands are embroidered with mandarin ducks and poems by women themselves.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his excitement. He had a premonition that this piece of cloth was the ironclad proof of his grandson's identity.

As long as the grandson's identity is unmistakable, then Zhu Yuanzhang can bring the grandson back to the palace.

At that time, let's see if you, a little bastard, dare to be lazy with us.

"Okay, it's getting late today, there are still a lot of things waiting for us in the palace, let's go first, and come to see you another day." Zhu Yuanzhang got up and said.

As Zhu Yuanzhang got up, Zhu Ying also got up to see him off.

When she got downstairs, Zhu Ying unexpectedly found that the minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, was still waiting downstairs.

"Okay, don't send it away, let's go back with Ru Shangshu."

After Zhu Yuanzhang explained, he left.

Zhu Ying looked at the old man's back, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Ru Xun's identity, that is six books, although it is said to be the second grade, but there is no such thing as a prime minister in the current Ming Dynasty.

He can be regarded as a top minister and a pillar of the imperial court.

The old man is only a Diange Grand Scholars, and the current Diange Grand Scholars have not yet developed into the cabinet after Yongle.

In addition to assisting His Majesty, making suggestions and reviewing memorials, he has no other powers.

Even the memorials reviewed by the Grand Scholars of the Diange have to go through the review of six ministers, and if there are no other problems, the review by His Majesty will be considered a pass.

He just exists as His Majesty's secretary. Although his official position is only the fifth rank, his status is respected.

But it is a bit unusual for a six-part minister to wait.

The old man's name is Zhu Guorui.

In Zhu Ying's opinion, this name is relatively common.But the old man's surname is Zhu, and he also holds such an important position as a bachelor, which shows that he has a very close relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Having known the old man for such a long time, Zhu Ying can also feel the majesty of the old man.

And judging by his figure, he must have been a good fighter when he was young.

How could such a character not be recorded in Daming.

Although Zhu Ying had never studied Ming history in her previous life, she shouldn't have the slightest impression of such a character.

pseudonym?

Zhu Ying frowned slightly, and said to Uncle Zhang next to him, "Send an invitation to the eldest prince of Yan Palace, and I will visit tomorrow."

After moving out from King Yan's Mansion, the gate of King Yan's Mansion is not just to enter. Under normal circumstances, greeting cards will be delivered in advance, which is a courtesy.

Zhu Gaochi often goes in and out of the palace, so he must be familiar with the Grand Master of the Diange University. If you ask him, you will probably know the identity of the old man.

After leaving the teahouse, Zhu Ying walked towards the courtyard on the streets of the capital, followed by Uncle Zhang.

Today's capital can be regarded as the most prosperous area in the entire Ming Dynasty, and even in the whole world.

The current Qinhuai River is much wider than later generations, and the two sides of the Qinhuai River are densely populated, with tall buildings and grain ships.

There are officials on horseback, peddlers, family members in sedan chairs, tourists asking for directions, old people begging, monks with baskets on their backs, etc. It can be said that there are men, women, old and young, officials, businessmen and gentry.

The wealthy nobles in the sedan chair are arrogant and self-confident, the dandies in the restaurant are reveling wantonly, the hawkers on the street are constantly hawking things, and the disabled old people on the side of the alley are quietly waiting for other people's charity.

Zhu Ying took out a few copper coins, put them in the broken bowl of the disabled old man, and left with a voice of thanks.

Begging in the capital is more civilized than in other places.

After leaving the capital, Zhu Ying would not dare to give alms to other beggars.

Once you give alms, it will not take long before you will be surrounded by a group of beggars.

"Grandpa, I want to eat candied haws."

"Okay, good grandson, grandpa will buy it for you."

Not far away, a bunch of conversations between grandparents and grandchildren caught Zhu Ying's attention.

After listening, Zhu Ying suddenly thought of the old man.

For the old man, Zhu Ying always feels a little guilty. At such an advanced age, she always puts her mind on herself, which puts a lot of pressure on Zhu Ying.

He was afraid that the old man would fall into too deep.

Thinking of the majesty of the old man just now, even the Minister of the Ministry of War had to accompany him, Zhu Ying couldn't help but feel a little pity.

From the looks of it now, the old man lacks nothing, except for family affection.

"I don't know how many people there are in the old man's family. He always comes out alone like this, without any children to accompany him."

Zhu Ying sighed slightly.

The old man who is more powerful than the six ministers can be regarded as an extremely human minister.

At this age, when the old man should be enjoying family happiness, he always looks lonely and helpless, which is really a pity.

I can't pretend to be his grandson by myself, and I don't know if the old man has Alzheimer's.

He himself was fished out of the water, and his eldest grandson was obviously buried in.
suddenly,

Zhu Ying froze.

He recalled carefully, and remembered that the old man once said that his eldest grandson was buried near Zhongshan.

Zhong Shan, that's where Xiaoling is.
