The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 92 White Dudou (for subscription, monthly pass)

The back garden of the Daming Palace, the Palace Backyard, and the Qianqiu Pavilion.

This is where the back door of Kunning Palace is located.

The Qianqiu Pavilion is a multi-cornered pavilion with a circle above and below, surrounded by buildings, forming a cross-shaped plane.

In the garden, there are strange stones, beautiful trees and verdant trees, and colorful stones pave the road.

The corridors in the park are carefully paved with pebbles of different colors, forming more than 900 different patterns, including figures, flowers, scenery, dramas, allusions, etc.

This used to be Zhu Xiongying's favorite place to play.

However, since Zhu Xiongying's early death and Empress Ma's death, Zhu Yuanzhang seldom came here.

Calling Tang He here to meet this time, it is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang has untied his knot.

After waiting for a long time, Tang He's sedan chair was carried over.

Looking at Tang He who came down from the sedan chair, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little emotional.

It's really aging.

Back then, Tang He was a top-notch fierce general who often took the lead in the charge. He was also extremely burly and sturdy.

He is completely incompatible with the skinny old man in front of Zhu Yuanzhang now.

Tang He fought all his life, leaving behind many unmentionable illnesses.

In the 21st year of Hongwu, when Japanese pirates often harassed the coastal area, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Tang He and said to him:
"Although you are old, we don't worry about other people passing by, and we can only work hard on you."

Tang He asked to go with Fang Mingqian, who is familiar with maritime affairs.After inspecting the site, he decided to set up 59 guards along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and selected 5000 strong men to build the city.

Because of staying at the beach for a long time and being eroded by the sea wind, Tang He already had rheumatism at that time.

The winter in Daming was extremely cold, and it was during the worship on the first day of the first lunar month that he suffered from apoplexy.

Stroke is very painful for the elderly, and Tang He became thinner and thinner until he became the skinny old man he is today.

"My minister has seen His Majesty."

After being supported by the eunuch from the sedan chair, Tang He bowed and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Old man, let's not pay attention to these formalities, come and take a seat." Zhu Yuanzhang said gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Tang He insisted on saluting before entering the Qianqiu Pavilion and sitting opposite Zhu Yuanzhang.

The current Tanghe doesn't have the unruliness of the past.

"We called you here this time to tell you a happy event."

After Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to make all the court ladies and eunuchs around retreat, only Jiang Yuhouli said to Tang He with a smile.

Feeling that His Majesty's mood seemed to be very good, Tang He also felt relieved and asked:
"I don't know what your majesty's happy event is."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled mysteriously and said, "I still remember our grandson Xiongying. You hugged him when you were young."

Tang He was at a loss, a little unclear, so he replied cautiously: "Of course I remember."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Let me tell you, don't be scared, our grandson, he is back!"

Tang He was dumbfounded.

What kind of thing is this? In broad daylight, the palace is still haunted.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's ruddy complexion and radiant appearance, Tang He asked, although confused, "I don't understand the meaning of what Your Majesty said."

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that this matter was a bit shocking, so he explained: "My grandson of Xiongying, he is not dead, we saw him again, he wandered away for ten years, and now he is back in the capital, running a tea house by the Qinhuai River."

Tang He was shocked when he heard this.

He didn't believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said at the moment.

When Zhu Xiongying died, he was in the capital, and he was also in the funeral of Zhong Shan.

It was the one who watched the burial.

How could a person who had been dead for ten years come back to life?

After slightly hesitating, Tang He still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, don't want to be deceived by a villain. The veteran has never heard of such a bizarre thing."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, and said: "Old man, when we first found out about this, we didn't believe it, so we went to the teahouse and saw it for real."

"You also know that our eldest grandson was brought up by us and our eldest sister, and we accompanied him day and night. Others can't recognize him, but we can't recognize him."

"We know this matter, but everyone who hears it thinks we are old and confused, but although we are old, we are not so confused that even our grandson admits it."

Tang He frowned upon hearing this.

Zhu Yuanzhang's remarks sounded extremely clear, well-organized, and clear-minded.

It's not like he was confused.

But this person has been dead for ten years, so how can he say that he will be resurrected when he is resurrected.

Seeing that Tang He didn't speak, he didn't object.

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "We have arranged for people to dig out the grandson's mausoleum. You must know about the earth dragon rolling ten years ago."

"At that time, we also looked at the coffin of the great grandson. Now we only need to dig out the mausoleum and open the autopsy."

Hearing this, Tang He tentatively said, "Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness King Yu's body is still in the coffin, what about King Yu who is outside?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible. We thought about it with you earlier, and until today, we found out from my eldest grandson."

"When our eldest grandson was picked up by someone, there was a piece of broken cloth next to his body. According to his description, the piece of cloth is the eldest sister, who embroidered the belly for the eldest grandson with her own hands."

Speaking of the pocket belly, Zhu Yuanzhang was very sure in his heart.

Doudu is a bellyband worn by children. The material of children's bellyband is mostly red cloth, that is, red bellyband.

But the piece of apron that Zhu Ying told Zhu Yuanzhang was white.

This is the key to Zhu Yuanzhang's confirmation.

Because Zhu Xiongying died young.

According to the custom, people who die early cannot enter the imperial mausoleum, which will affect the feng shui of the imperial mausoleum.

Because Zhu Xiongying was favored too much, Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum as the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Originally, children would only wear red bellybands, but they were replaced with white bellybands for adults.

Moreover, this and the bellyband were embroidered by Empress Ma who was sick in bed.

Because of Empress Ma's body, this white bellyband is extremely simple, and it doesn't have any auspicious patterns embroidered on it like other children's bellybands.

Just embroidered Zhu Xiongying's name.

Not many people knew about this matter, and the eunuchs who changed Zhu Xiongying's clothes were also directly buried by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At present, Zhu Yuanzhang is the only one who knows about this matter.

This is the case, after hearing Zhu Ying's description, Zhu Yuanzhang was so convinced that the current mausoleum of King Yu is definitely an empty coffin.

Tang He heard that although he still remained skeptical about it, he saw that His Majesty had obviously done a lot of investigation, and even dug up the mausoleum and opened a museum for autopsy.

I also feel relieved in my heart.

Tang He was cautious and didn't want to talk too much about whether Zhu Xiongying's identity was true.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, he knew that if he questioned him too much, it might arouse His Majesty's disgust.

Instead, he asked, "I don't know how His Majesty plans to arrange it."
