Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 3 is confirmed, but it seems that it is not confirmed
For today's scene, Zhu Yuanzhang prepared for more than two months.

After all, it was 19 years ago, and Yi Luan worked hard to find the clues of the disappearance case.

But it can only prove that Zhu Ji was indeed adopted back home in November 13.

The evidence that can really prove whether Zhu Ji is his child who has been missing for 19 years still falls on Zhu Ji.

Extreme, Dong also.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was impatient to name his first child like this was because Zhu Ji had two strange birthmarks on the soles of his feet.

He clearly remembered that his eldest son was born with a birthmark of stepping on the sun and the moon.

At that time, Han Shantong, the leader of Xiangjun, claimed that "Maitreya was born and King Ming was born." How could this child's strange vision not teach Zhu Yuanzhang to think more.

The birthmark on the sole of the left foot was red and round, like a bright sun.But the right foot needs to squeeze the sole of the foot hard to vaguely see the white crescent moon that is different from the normal skin color.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very sure that other things could be faked, except for things like birthmarks, especially the white crescent moon on his right foot, which was a secret that only he and Queen Ma knew.

The two maids answered in unison, affirming Zhu Yuanzhang's guess.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was the maidservant who washed the young master's right foot. There are many calluses on the soles of his feet, but after pressing hard, there is really a pale mark shaped like a new moon, which is really rare."

A sentence shaped like a new moon made Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing with satisfaction.

The original arrangement for the two maidservants suddenly changed at this moment.

"Give you two a choice. One, we will let you two leave the palace, but you can only go to Qiongzhou. The other, from now on, I will be this kid's personal maid, and we will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing."

The two maidservants suddenly breathed heavily.

But they didn't know that before they answered, Zhu Yuanzhang had seen a dead person who couldn't speak for countless moments.

They didn't know Zhu Ji's identity, although just now they were convinced that Zhu Ji was just a poor commoner for the time being.But those who can be brought by His Majesty's side today are much better than being exiled to Qiongzhou Mansion in disguise.

The eunuchs and maids who can survive in such a huge Forbidden City are not stupid characters.

"The servant is willing to serve this young master."

Hearing such an answer, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, but his face quickly restrained his smile:

"Look up and look at us, and remember it for us. Don't spread a word about what happened today. If I hear the secrets of this kid from other places, we will kill you nine clans."

Seeing the silence of the two maidservants, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, and then motioned for the two to retreat.

It is about the heirs of the ancestors, especially Zhu Yuanzhang's own heirs, so the emperor can't help but be careless.

Now that the crown prince has been established, once the officials in the court know that Zhu Yuanzhang still has a real eldest son alive, he will know exactly what huge waves will be caused in the court and the opposition.

He can see that Zhu Ji, who has been rolling in the mud for 19 years, has a deep fear of officialdom. This fear is not just because he, the emperor, is afraid of what happened to Chen Qiao in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Knocking on the old brocade and most of the rubbings on the stone table, Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, ready to have a good talk with Zhu Ji.

After scrubbing inside and out, Zhu Ji felt that his whole body became much clearer.

Putting on the brand-new sackcloth clothes that the old horse had prepared for him, Zhu Ji felt that if he were a little whiter, he might be able to be a good man in a troubled world with fluffy plain clothes.

However, such thoughts were quickly thrown out of Zhu Ji's mind. If he wanted to be the good son of Zhuoshi, he had to be rich.Nowadays, those who are rich in this world are either in business at home, or their father is a high-ranking official, one is of low status, and the other is precarious.

As soon as I thought of the old horse, the maid waiting outside the door came to greet me:
"The young master has finished washing, can the servant come in and change the clothes for the young master?"

Zhu Ji pushed open the door straight away, and asked under the strange eyes of the two maidservants: "There is no need to change clothes, old horse, uh, your master is so convenient now, I want to thank him."

As soon as Zhu Ji finished speaking, the two maidservants knelt down on the ground: "I hope you know, just now the master ordered me to wait. From now on, I will follow you. The old master is already waiting in the living room of the front yard." , and please come with me, my lord."

Zhu Ji was dumbfounded for a moment.

He doesn't even want the twenty acres of fertile land now, let alone the two young maidservants?

With a face full of embarrassment, he stepped into the living room in the front yard, and being close to the rising fire made Zhu Ji feel warm all over.Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang retreating from all the people serving in the living room, Zhu Ji let go of his cautious thoughts, and muttered to Zhu Yuanzhang in a low voice:
"Old Ma, although we have only known each other for only a year, as friends, I still want to advise you on some things. Our emperor came from a poor background, and he hated corrupt officials the most in his life."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood Zhu Ji's implication.

He froze for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Just now he was [-] to [-]% sure that the boy in front of him was really his own son.

In the future, he only needs to check the birthmark on the bottom of Zhu Ji's feet several times to see if there is any change, and then he is [-]% sure.

So when he heard his son evaluate him so directly and accurately, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a deep joy in his heart.

"What's the matter? Do you think our yard is not on the right track?"

The heart is joyful, but on the surface they have to pretend to be sullen.

Throwing the half-eaten snacks on the plate, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, our courtyard was built by the emperor. Although it is not as good as Wei Guogong's other courtyard, the layout of this courtyard is also from The same craftsmen."

Seeing Zhu Ji's surprised expression, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little more proud.

"It's you kid, why don't you care about where you come from?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said such a sentence, Zhu Ji was extremely surprised.If Lao Ma just asked about his place of origin, then he didn't need to answer at all.After all, it is because of the same Haozhou accent that the two have today's fate.

But what if the old horse asked about his own birth?

But he clearly remembered that when they met last time, he hadn't had time to tell Lao Ma that he was not born by his parents.

Zhu Ji couldn't help but blinked his eyes, coughed lightly, and then asked a little nervously:
"Old Ma, have you sent someone to check me? Let me tell you, although I am from Haozhou, I am definitely not a refugee. Also, my parents who died are ordinary people. The money from Jiangning, It’s enough to melt my mail lock.”

Zhu Ji didn't notice that when he mentioned the name lock, Zhu Yuanzhang's breathing became tighter suddenly.

"Sign lock? You bastard, it seems that you also know that you are adopted. You said such an important thing, why did you let him melt it?"

Yiluansi also reported to him about the name lock, but when Zhu Ji said it himself, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt a little angry.

The signature lock was made by the best silversmith in Haozhou City, and even the pattern was chosen by him.Even the word "extreme" was written by him himself.

Somewhat annoyed that this ignorant kid didn't cherish the only gift I gave him.

It's just that what he was facing was Zhu Ji who was already ready to let fate go.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's responsibilities, Zhu Ji just shrugged his shoulders, and then responded helplessly:

"At that time, I didn't know that my father was not my real father. What's more, my mother said that I was thrown outside the city by the Red Scarf Army. According to my judgment, my real father was probably a rich man in the city who offended the Red Scarf Army. As a householder, he may still have a certain prestige, so people can only use this method to retaliate against him."

"That's why my cowardly father is afraid that the name lock will cause disaster if it is too involved, so he would rather melt it down if he has a few taels of silver."

Hearing Zhu Ji's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang became even angrier.Simply asked in a muffled voice:
"Back then we were the Red Scarf Army in Haozhou City, aren't you afraid that your father's enemy is us?"

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's threats, Zhu Ji smiled indifferently, picked up the exquisite snacks on the plate, and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang furtively. Seeing that he didn't look like he would take him down immediately, he bit it with confidence. With a sip, he said vaguely:
"Just because you are a veteran who followed the emperor back then, I am not afraid. According to the details revealed by my mother, the person who threw me was wearing leather armor. The more than 700 people around the emperor back then were qualified to wear leather armor Only three."

Zhu Ji held the snacks in one hand and put them in his mouth, and held up three fingers in the other hand to count one by one:

"The first one is our emperor. The second one is Wei Guogong Xu Da. The third one is Zhongshan Hou Tanghe."

Swallowing the snack in his mouth, Zhu Ji grinned at Zhu Yuanzhang:
"It just so happens that my father has seen these three people from afar in Haozhou City, so I can be sure that they are not them."

Seeing Zhu Ji's thorough analysis, although Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

Although he was a little timid and afraid of death, he had to admit that among the princes he brought up with him, only Prince Zhu Biao was as flexible as the kid in front of him.

Even this kid is far away from the court, and he can very keenly feel the little-known little calculations in his heart as the emperor.Moreover, in the open and in the dark, he always reminded himself how to deal with it correctly as a courtier.

This plan, I am afraid that my prince who is stupid to study with the great Confucians is far behind.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little more regretful looking at Zhu Ji's sloppy look.

After all, I was born in a small village and haven't read many books.Although smart is smart, but a bit too bohemian.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang began to prepare, paving the way for his eldest son who was sure but seemed uncertain.
