Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 156 My lord, there seems to be something in this porcelain pillow!

When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yunxie's complaint, he giggled strangely.

"Whoever told you to take it foolishly copied it, you should take a look at the back!"

"I……"

Zhu Yunxi felt even more depressed when he heard Lao Zhu's ridicule, and threw the brush on the table angrily, then hid aside and sulked secretly.

Lao Zhu happily picked up the memorial that Dasun had copied, and seeing Dasun's handwriting getting better and better, his heart immediately burst into joy.

"This is a good word, a bit of progress, and I have to continue to work hard in the future!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, seeing that Dasun ignored him, he couldn't help but kicked him.

"We're talking to you, you squeak when you hear it!"

"Squeak... squeak..."

Seeing that the grandson really "squeaked", Lao Zhu immediately put together the memorial and slapped Ni Sun's head.

"Talk to us one more time, and see if we don't spank your ass!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he hurriedly replied respectfully.

"heard it!"

Seeing Dasun's expression of reluctance, Lao Zhu sat down on his small table and told him the memorial of Ru Taisu.

"Let me tell you, when we received this memorial, we were so angry that we scolded our mother several times, but in the end we listened patiently."

"Do you know why this is?"

Zhu Yunxi asked with a puzzled face when he heard the words.

"Why?"

"This is not your old style, is it? You are so impatient, how could you really listen to it?"

Lao Zhu patted his hands with the memorial and explained meaningfully.

"Because this is governing the country!"

"Governing the country is no small matter, even if it is such a long-winded memorial, we dare not miss a single word."

"Who knows that part is the important thing. If you miss it, wouldn't it delay the big thing?"

"However, Naru Taisu didn't end well. In the end, we were overwhelmed and beat dozens of boards to vent our anger!"

"puff……"

Zhu Yunxi burst into laughter when he heard the last sentence.

This is the old Zhu he knew, whoever dares to make him angry will have to get it back.

"Then why did Grandpa Huang ask me to copy this? Do you want me to learn how to be too vegetarian?"

"Don't worry about it. Whatever we tell you to do, just do it honestly. If you dare to talk too much, let's see if we don't greet you with a whip!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he immediately got up from the small table and stretched comfortably.

"It's getting late, pack up and go to bed, let's go to the harem to find your little grandmas!"

"I'm not ashamed to be old!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked to the door, and when he heard this suddenly, he turned his head and glared viciously.

"What did you just say?"

"I said you always walk slowly!"

"Humph!"

Seeing that Xiao Nisun was quite clever, Lao Zhu snorted coldly and walked away, heading straight to Concubine Guo Hui's palace.

Guo Hui knew that the emperor would come today, so he made preparations long ago.Now seeing the emperor coming over, I immediately wait for him to change his clothes and wash his hands.

"My lord, your patience is too poor. The concubine thought that you could recruit Xiao Xunxiu to sleep with you today. How could you hide here with the concubine just after bullying Xiaoxue!"

Old Zhu laughed when he heard the words.

"If you are not curious, then let's go to someone else's palace!"

Concubine Guo Hui immediately covered Lao Zhu's mouth with a wet handkerchief.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have all entered the palace of the concubine, how could the concubine let you out!"

"But having said that, when are you going to give Xiao Xie a title?"

"If you keep procrastinating like this, the concubine is afraid that something unexpected will happen..."

Old Zhu sighed secretly when he heard the words. In fact, he was very jealous of harem meddling in politics. This was what Concubine Guo Hui asked. If it was someone else, he would have ordered someone to kill her long ago.

"Don't say such things in front of us in the future!"

"Although we dote on you, you can't do anything reckless!"

Concubine Guo Hui hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"The concubine is guilty, please punish the emperor!"

"But the concubine still wants to say a few words. You always hear things that you don't like. You can send the concubine to guard the spirit of the eldest sister!"

Seeing Concubine Guo Hui's behavior, Lao Zhu also looked helpless.

"Speak!"

"It's not an example!"

"promise!"

Concubine Guo Hui hurriedly agreed with a smile when she heard the words, and then asked curiously.

"You obviously like that child very much, why have you been refusing to express your opinion publicly!"

"While conferring the title of King Xiaoxiu Wu, and at the same time letting him copy the memorial, I am afraid that if you continue to do this, you will lose the little spirit of Xiaoxiu."

"The concubine has suffered. I know how sensitive and inferior a child who has no mother since childhood is. If you really like this child, you should confirm his righteous name as soon as possible, so as to save the child from thinking about it!"

"Are you finished?"

Concubine Guo Hui nodded.

"It's over!"

Lao Zhu stretched out his hand to pull him up, and sat on his lap directly, while hugging Concubine Guo Hui, he spoke lightly.

"We also want to give this child a name earlier, but we still have a very big worry in our hearts..."

"What worries?"

"Think about it, at what age did Chang Yuchun die, at what age did Chang Wanying's child die, at what age did Zhu Xiongying's child die..."

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

Chang Yuchun lived to be 39 years old, the Crown Princess Chang's lived to be in her early twenties, and Zhu Xiongying was even shorter, dying at the age of eight.

Seeing that Concubine Guo Hui was silent, Lao Zhu added another sentence.

"And Chang Mao, this kid is also in his 30s..."

Concubine Guo Hui's heart sank even more when she heard this. Is this what the emperor is worried about?

But looking at it this way, the emperor's worry is really not unreasonable.

The Chang family lineage was almost all short-lived people, and Zhu Xiongying died before him, so it is understandable for the emperor to be worried about Zhu Yunxie's life expectancy.

"My lord, you are afraid of Xiaoxiu..."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu hugged Concubine Guo Hui tightly, tears slipped down his cheeks uncontrollably, and fell on Concubine Guo Hui's face.

"We are really scared!"

"We have lost too much in this life, I don't want to send away another grandson before dying, woo woo woo..."

Concubine Guo Hui felt Lao Zhu's sadness, and started to cry too.

"My lord!"

"The concubine knows it's wrong, the concubine won't ask any more questions, everything depends on the emperor, beep..."

The two hugged each other and cried for a while, Concubine Guo Hui muttered unwillingly.

"It's a pity that I'm so smart, such a smart child, and filial and sensible, so I don't have the chance to be a big person..."

"It would be great if I could find an expert to help me look at the child's lifespan, and save us from worrying here..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he pushed Concubine Guo Hui away, pushing Concubine Guo Hui into confusion.

"My lord, did the concubine say something wrong?"

Lao Zhu stared at his two long eyes and asked.

"What did you just say?"

"I said Xiao Xun is filial, sensible, smart..."

"Not this sentence!"

Concubine Guo Hui thought for a while when she heard the words.

"The concubine said to find someone to take a look at and measure the lifespan of Xiao Xie?"

"But it's taboo to say that?"

"That's not politics, is it?"

When Lao Zhu heard Concubine Guo Hui's words, he was so excited that he hugged her up.

"Yeah, why did we forget about this!"

"You bastard, you can be considered to have solved our big problem, hahaha!"

"Come on, come on, today we must give you a good meal!"

Concubine Guo Hui was held in the air by Lao Zhu, and asked with a puzzled face.

"My lord, what did my concubine solve for you?"

Lao Zhu excitedly kissed Concubine Guo Hui on the face.

"Didn't you just say to find someone to see?"

"We immediately thought of a person. If we can find that person, we will be able to measure the lifespan of Xiaoxiu!"

"Who?"

"Zhang sloppy!"

After Lao Zhu said the name of this person, he hugged Concubine Guo Hui and went to bed, and then...then...then...then an hour later...

The next day, Lao Zhu went back to Qianqing Palace to accompany his eldest grandson to have a meal with a listless spirit.

Zhu Yunxi saw that old Zhu had two dark circles under his eyes, so he knew that the old man must have done nothing good last night.

Ever since, he pushed the stir-fried kidneys towards Lao Zhu.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu glared at Nisun angrily, then picked up the plate and poured half a bowl into the bowl, and began to eat.

Lao Zhu sighed as he ate, he couldn't accept it.

If it was a few years ago, I wouldn't even have a back pain when I broke into the doors of several concubines.

However, it was just to punish Guo Hui yesterday, and almost broke his old waist!
After eating for a long time, Lao Zhu suddenly saw Ni Sun looking at him with a smile, and his face turned red.

"Eat quickly!"

"Get out of here after eating!"

"At the time of homework exam at the end of the month, if you don't give us the first place in the exam, let's see if we don't beat your ass!"

"Oh!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately turned bitter when he heard this, and lamented his life.They are all the grandsons of the emperor, and they still cannot avoid the troubles of being a primary school monk.

Just as Zhu Yunxi was cooking with a depressed face, Lao Zhu suddenly asked a question without beginning or end.

"Did you run this morning?"

"Ran!"

"How many laps can you run now?"

"I can run two and a half laps, but I have to walk for a while in between, or my body won't be able to take it..."

"oh oh!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he silently calculated that when he was this age...

Hi!
When I was my age, I couldn't even eat enough to eat, so I definitely couldn't outrun my grandson.

But even if you are an adult, if you can run ten miles at a stretch, your body is not considered weak, right?
"Grandfather, why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"

Old Zhu glared at Zhu Yunxi displeasedly.

"No rules!"

"Don't you know how to eat without talking and sleep without talking?"

"I……"

Zhu Yunxi was so depressed, it was obviously the old man who spoke first, so how could he have the face to teach me a lesson?
But he is the emperor and he is the biggest, we don't have the same knowledge as him!
After the two of them had breakfast, Lao Zhu sent his grandson away, and when he was about to go to court, he suddenly saw a figure walking quickly.

"But Erhu is back?"

The two tigers quickly stepped forward and bowed their knees to salute.

"See the emperor for a humble position!"

"But what did you find out?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I tortured the owner of the kiln factory responsible for firing porcelain pillows and the craftsmen who made the embryos in Jingdezhen. Most of the craftsmen who were responsible for firing these porcelain pillows have fled. There is only one kiln worker who is responsible for firing the fire and watching the kiln. It's still there, but the person says he doesn't know about it..."

"escape?"

Since the Ming Dynasty established the household registration system of military households, artisan households, and merchant households, many people fled.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered strict investigation several times, but it was nothing when it got to the local area.

Because the fleeing military households and artisan households are generally registered as civilian households in other places, which can be regarded as the achievements of the local government. How could anyone seriously investigate?

Zhu Yuanzhang knew this well, but the system of Ming Dynasty was established in this way, and he had nothing to do with the low-level officials.

"Where did you escape to, can this be found out?"

Erhu shook his head when he heard that.

"If it is a general escape, it can still be investigated. No matter how you say, the original kinship and clan relationship will not be broken. As long as you find a few close relatives, you can always find clues."

"However, this group of potters fled after being bewitched by the White Lotus Sect, and no one knows where they are going now!"

"White Lotus Sect?"

When Lao Zhu heard the words "Bailianjiao", his face immediately became serious.

He has a deep relationship with the White Lotus Sect, and the Red Scarf Army that started in the early years was a branch of the White Lotus Sect.

However, he got rid of the control of the White Lotus Sect very early, and in the end he held the leader of the White Lotus Sect, King Xiao Ming, in his hands, playing the game of coercing the emperor to make the princes.

When he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he ruthlessly attacked the White Lotus Sect.

It's just that this thing's ability to confuse people's hearts is too strong. It has been 25 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but the White Lotus Sect can't be wiped out no matter what.

"If this matter involves Teacher Bailian, then this matter will be troublesome!"

"There are more important things. I consulted the list of porcelain pillows that were tributed back then, and found that a total of twelve were donated at that time."

"Now there are still some in the palace, and some princes still sleep on those porcelain pillows from back then!"

"That's why the humble official is in a hurry to enter the palace, just wanting to report this matter to the emperor, so that the emperor will quickly confiscate all the porcelain pillows, so as not to poison the other emperor's heirs!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, his face changed color suddenly, and he cursed at Qin Deshun who was beside him.

"Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and get all the porcelain pillows of the princes in the palace!"

Just as Qin Deshun was going to do it, he heard the emperor call him back.

"and many more!"

"Send someone to look through the treasury in the palace to see if there are similar porcelain pillows, and bring them all for us!"

"promise!"

Not long after, Qin Deshun returned to Qianqing Palace with a batch of porcelain pillows.

"Reporting to the emperor, all the porcelain pillows in the palace are here."

"There are two of them in the Prince's Mansion, but one of them was broken ten years ago and was destroyed by the palace. The other one belongs to His Highness the Third Emperor's Sun, the one that was transferred in the pawn shop a few days ago. ..."

"In addition to these three, two in Concubine Guo Hui's palace have also been damaged, one in Concubine Yang's palace has also been damaged, and the one in Concubine Han's palace was destroyed last year, and then handed over to the palace for unified destruction."

"Only those in the palaces of Concubine Zhou, Concubine Li, and Concubine Liu are intact, and they are all brought here by slaves, Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Lao Zhu went to the bamboo basket, casually picked up a porcelain pillow and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see anything wrong with it.

"Er Hu, take a look, is there anything wrong with this porcelain pillow?"

Erhu picked up one and weighed it in his hand, then shook it again.

"My lord, there seems to be something in this porcelain pillow!"

Seeing that there were two more in the bamboo basket, Lao Zhu immediately said in a low voice.

"fall!"

"promise!"
