Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 17

As night fell, darkness enveloped the earth, and evil and shady things began to grow slowly.

It was raining again in the sky.

This year's rain seems to be particularly abundant.

In the Forbidden City, the Huanyi Bureau is located in an inconspicuous corner.

At this time, the Huanyi Bureau has finished its day's work, it is empty, and there is no one there.

Only one small room is still lit with a little spark
Zhou Ji's eyes showed a fierce look: "I was outside today and was beaten by a crazy old man."

"Who is so bold, dare to hit Jiang Xiahou's precious son?"

The woman's hand brushed Zhou Ji's face, and she spoke frivolously.

"Humph!"

Zhou Ji snorted coldly: "I don't care who he is, if he dares to hit Zhou Ji, I will let him die!"

"Father-"

The owner of those eyes held a picture book in his arms, and recorded everything that happened in the house, every drop...

……

Inside the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still lighting up the lamp and flipping through the memorial.

Since the prince Zhu Biao left, all major matters have been placed on this gray-haired old man.

He thought about taking Huang Xiongying to a place tomorrow, so he had to deal with all these matters tonight, so he could let go.

At this time, Jiang Yu came in.

Without raising his eyelids, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Did you find out?"

"Check it out!"

Jiang Yu bowed and replied respectfully.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang put down the notebook, and looked at Jiang Yu: "Speak."

Jiang Yu raised his head slightly, and replied respectfully: "Zhou Ji did have contacts with the female officials of the Huanyi Bureau. This is just recorded by the humble official. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the picture book, looked at it twice, and threw the picture book on the ground.

"Zhou Dexing, Zhou Dexing, you have raised a good son!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was expressionless, but his eyes were terrifying. A big hand subconsciously touched his waist, which was where the old man used to wear his sword.

Jiang Yu knew that the old man was going to kill someone.

When he was still following Mao Xiang (the first Jinyiwei commander), when the old man was killing Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, it was this action.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Yu, this matter must not be leaked, understand?"

"Understandable!"

Jiang Yu hurriedly replied.

How could he not understand that palace matters have always been taboo in the royal family.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and continued: "Let that dog live for another two days. No one is allowed to move without our order. Let's go down."

"Retire from humble position!"

Jiang Yu was startled for a moment, then hurriedly withdrew.

According to the old man's previous character, it's time to arrest Zhou Ji and send him to prison for strict interrogation.

Leave him alive for two days?

It seems that it has something to do with the boy outside the palace...

Jiang Yu was thinking in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word, dare not ask a word...

……

At this time, the lights in the East Palace were still on.

"Mother, Grandpa Huang said that he is not free..."

Zhu Yunwen came back with a bowl of noodles, and carefully looked at his displeased mother Lu Shi.

"you……"

Mrs. Lu just wanted to curse a few words, but looking at Zhu Yunqi's face that was about to turn cold, she couldn't help talking: "Let's put it down first, come here, mother wants to tell you something."

"Ah."

Zhu Yunqi nodded obediently, then put down the noodles in his hands.

Lu Shi looked at his son who had grown up, sighed again, and pulled Zhu Yunxuan to sit beside him.

"Do you think it's annoying for us to ask you to send noodles to your grandpa every day?"

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

"If you don't tell me, we will know."

Mrs. Lu said to herself: "We know you are a good boy. Since you were young, you only know how to treat people sincerely, and you don't know how to flatter anyone, including your grandpa, but do you know?"

"After your father left, our mother and I are the only ones who can rely on each other in this world. From now on, we can only rely on you. You have to be your mother's backer like your father, understand?"

Zhu Yunwen secretly clenched his fists and nodded.

The Lu family said quietly: "Son, since ancient times, it has been the most ruthless emperor's family. If you don't win us over, there will be no place for us and my mother to stand in this palace!"

"Your father is the crown prince, and you are the eldest son of the crown prince. According to Huang Ming's ancestor's instruction, you are the most legal heir of the Ming Dynasty!"

"That position is yours. If you lose it, your father will not rest in peace under the Nine Springs! Do you understand?"

Zhu Yunwen raised his head, with tears in his eyes: "Mother, you know what you said, but..."

Zhu Yunwen wiped away his tears.

"But, I don't know what's wrong with Grandpa Huang recently, my child always feels that Grandpa Huang has changed, he's different from before..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen sobbed slightly.

Before these few days, he had always been the old man's favorite.

Almost every day, Grandpa Huang summoned him once, asked him about his homework, and taught him how to behave in the world.

but now……

Not only did Grandpa Huang not summon him, he sent him over and over again and again, but was rejected.

It was as if those favors disappeared overnight.

How can this not make him feel wronged?

Coupled with Lu's words, Zhu Yunqi's grievances turned into tears and flowed down.

"Mother, it's so difficult, the child doesn't know what to do..."

The more Zhu Yunwen said, the more aggrieved he became, tears streaming down his face.

However, Mrs. Lu straightened Zhu Yunqi's slightly bent body, and said sharply: "What do you look like crying? You are a man now, and your mother's only support. You must cheer up!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen wiped away his tears with his sleeve, trying hard not to let himself cry.

But the physical reaction still made him twitch.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu felt a sharp pain in her heart, and sighed, "Son, you can't lose your temper after a little setback. You know we are not idle these days."

"Mother, you..."

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and looked at Mrs. Lu.

Lu's voice was lowered, and said: "We got the news that your grandpa, these days, whenever he has time, he runs to a mansion by the Qinhuai River, presumably, your grandpa's changes are related to the people in that mansion. "

"Who would that be?"

Zhu Yunwen showed a puzzled look.

Mrs. Lu shook her head slightly: "Mother doesn't know for the time being. Mother has been thinking about it for the past two days, but she still can't figure it out. We have to find a chance to take a look."

Zhu Yunwen nodded silently.

Lu patted Zhu Yunqi's head lovingly, and finally smiled:

"Son, just go ahead and do what you should do boldly and fight for what belongs to you. Don't worry about the rest. Mother will always support you behind your back!"

"mother……"

Zhu Yunwen yelled and threw himself into Lu's arms...

……

Early the next morning, the sky cleared.

In the morning after the rain, the air is always extraordinarily fresh.

No matter how late he slept last night, Zhu Yuanzhang always got up on time.

After dealing with the memorial all night last night, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, which had become a little cloudy at the moment, were covered with thin lines of blood.

Take a few deep breaths of air.

Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit appeared to be very good.

After getting into the carriage prepared in the palace, he headed for the Qinhuai River.

When he used to go, he liked to walk.

In his whole life, he did not know how many roads he had walked, the roads he had walked to herd cattle, the road to begging, the road to begging for money, the road to war...

Countless.

He likes to walk, but today he unexpectedly got into a carriage.

Because he wants to take his grandson to a place...
