Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 295 These three rebellious women are not rushing to the funeral

Old Zhu put down these words, hummed a ditty and slipped away, leaving only Zhu Yunxi with a bewildered expression.

"Grandfather!"

"You are too mean!"

When Lao Zhu heard the complaints from behind, he burst into a burst of happy laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"You little rebellious grandson, you have finally encountered difficulties!"

Concubine Guo Hui was about to go to bed, when suddenly she saw the emperor walking in humming a tune, with surprise and joy written all over her face.

"My lord, are you alright?"

"Of course we're fine!"

"Then you have been in a coma for the past few days, and you still haven't let your concubine enter the Qianqing Palace to serve..."

Old Zhu pinched Concubine Guo Hui's face in an unscrupulous way, and said with a smile.

"We pretended to be sick on purpose to scare that Ni Sun."

"As for not letting you go, the main reason is that you can't hide things on your face, and it's easy to leak our truth!"

"That hozen has hair on it, and you're a smart monkey. If you were in our Qianqing Palace, he would have seen your flaws long ago!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he lay down on Concubine Guo Hui's bed, and then yelled for food.

Concubine Guo Hui has a son and a daughter in the palace, so all kinds of preserved fruits and snacks are always on hand.

Now that the emperor has orders, he immediately ordered people to get some dried meat, preserved fruits and the like.

Lao Zhu ate a few mouthfuls and then threw it aside. Seeing this, Concubine Guo Hui could only ask the imperial dining room to make him a bowl of noodles and stir-fry a few side dishes.

"My lord, what kind of happy things have you encountered?"

Old Zhu laughed even happier when he heard this.

"Then Ni Sun is in trouble, hahaha!"

When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she immediately gave Lao Zhu an annoyed look.

"How can you be such a grandfather that your grandson gloats when he encounters trouble?"

Seeing Concubine Guo Hui complaining, Lao Zhu quickly explained.

"You don't know, this grandson was too smooth a while ago. We are afraid that he will think that governing the country is so simple, and he will do it willfully in the future."

"It's better to let him encounter some setbacks now than to encounter them after we close our eyes."

"At least, now we can help him and give him some advice. If we really close our eyes, our eldest grandson can only rely on himself!"

"Like This……"

After listening to Lao Zhu's explanation, Concubine Guo Hui bent down to take off his shoes and socks for him, and ordered someone to bring hot water to gently soak Lao Zhu's feet.

"Then, is the problem encountered by Xiaoxiu serious?"

Old Zhu said confidently.

"good!"

"It's all under our control, there can be no big trouble!"

Although Lao Zhu said it easily, he actually had a different idea in his heart.

During this period of time, Zhu Yunxi has achieved remarkable results in supervising the country, which made him both happy and disappointed.

I am happy that my grandson has the ability to govern the country, but I am disappointed that I have nothing to do, and I don't even have a chance to mention my grandson.

What's more, this child is too independent, no matter how difficult things are, he can solve them, which makes him feel that he is useless as a grandfather.

For example, put the vaccinia vaccine in three kinds of utensils of gold, silver and copper, and sell it at three prices.

Even he, the old emperor, was full of praise for the grandson when he heard it.

This kind of method is really unimaginable. It not only got enough money for the court, but also did not cause nuisance to the people.

Fortunately, this grandson finally has some problems that cannot be solved, otherwise, once the epidemic is over, he, the old emperor, will have to abdicate to make way for the virtuous!

When Lao Zhu thought of abdicating, he felt very irritable.

Even if it was his favorite grandson who succeeded him, he still had some resistance in his heart.

Because once he abdicates, it means that he has given up his rights, and he will lose his autonomy in everything in the future.

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

However, he also hopes that Dasun will take over his position as soon as possible, and wants to see with his own eyes that Dasun governs the country with success.

In short, this is a question that Lao Zhu himself feels contradictory.

"It's fine to just make some bubbles, and we have to make up for it later!"

"You don't know, we've been pretending to be sick for the past few days, but the Nisun gave us millet porridge every day, almost made us vomit."

Concubine Guo Hui couldn't help giggling when she saw the emperor complaining so much.

"When did the emperor learn to be picky eaters like a child?"

"whee……"

Old Zhu heard that his big hand dishonestly reached into the place where it should not be reached, and grabbed the place where it should not be touched.

"You little goblin, we just haven't had enough of you, hahaha..."

Seeing that Lao Zhu was so happy, Concubine Guo Hui struggled a bit, then spoke slowly.

"My lord, have you heard about the Prince's Mansion?"

"what's up?"

"Yunxi is gone..."

"what?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu stood up from the bed with a "shua".

"When did this happen?"

"Why has no one ever told us!"

Concubine Guo Hui cried secretly when she heard the words.

"It's been three days, and the Ministry of Rites is already making arrangements..."

"Oh……"

Old Zhu fell heavily on the bed when he heard the words, and it took a while before he opened his mouth with a depressed face.

"It's a pity!"

"Although we haven't seen this child a few times, I vaguely remember that he looks cute..."

"Pursue the king of interest, and bury Zhong Shan with him..."

"Ok!"

"With such a reward from the emperor, it is not in vain for the child to come to our royal family and go through this experience."

When Lao Zhu heard the news that Zhu Yunxi was gone, his whole body was no longer as excited as before, and he even ate dinner listlessly.

After dinner, Lao Zhu lay dead on the bed, didn't sleep and didn't speak, just stared at the roof in a daze.

Seeing Lao Zhu's state, Concubine Guo Hui felt a little regretful in her heart, regretting that she told him about Zhu Yunxi's death.

But this matter is too big, and she has to say it.

Because once the emperor finds out about this from others, the emperor is afraid that he will hate himself.

Concubine Guo Hui gently slid her palm onto Lao Zhu's chest, and comforted her softly.

"My lord, do you still feel sorry for that child?"

"Ugh!"

"What's the use of being distressed..."

"We are more worried about grandson..."

"I only hope that our great grandson is really protected by the emperor, the gods bless..."

Zhu Yunxi's death touched Lao Zhu quite a bit, and made him worry about his grandson's lifespan again.

Although he knows that such things are illusory, there is no certainty at all.But he still couldn't help worrying, always afraid that the child would die young like his father.

Lao Zhu tossed and turned for most of the night before falling asleep, but woke up very early the next day.

After waking up, Lao Zhu washed up in the Changning Palace and went to the Prince's Mansion. He went to the small mourning hall of the Prince's Mansion, offered incense to the grandson whom he hadn't seen much, burned a few pieces of paper, chatted and sent his condolences .

When Mrs. Lu heard that Lao Zhu was coming, she hurriedly led the two emperors and grandsons out to greet him.

Old Zhu saw that both Zhu Yunqi and Zhu Yunxuan were safe and sound, but Zhu Yunxuan's face had a few more pockmarks, and the big stone in his heart was finally let go.

"Daughter-in-law pays homage to Father, congratulate Father..."

"no!"

"You have worked hard, and you have to take care of the three emperors and grandchildren when you are sick."

Lao Zhu glanced at the small coffin in Lingtang, and a strong melancholy flashed across his face.

"Although Zhu Yunxi didn't keep it, we heard that you and the imperial physician have tried your best..."

Lu Shi squeezed out a few tears at the right time and cried.

"Father..."

"My daughter-in-law's life is so miserable, woo woo woo..."

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was crying so miserably, Lao Zhu could only look behind him as if asking for help. Concubine Guo Hui immediately stepped forward and dragged Mrs. Lu into the inner room to comfort her, leaving Lao Zhu and her two grandsons standing outside.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the back of his mother and concubine leaving, and then looked at the coffin in Lingtang, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

He is different from Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi was knocked unconscious, and he doesn't remember anything after waking up.

However, he was always sober!
Zhu Yunqi couldn't figure out why the concubine mother could bring a stranger into the palace, and she could predict the smallpox epidemic in the capital in advance, and ordered people to prepare the human vaccine for prevention in advance!

Is the throne so important that she can even have her own son in it?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes in pain, letting the tears fall from his eyes.

He has only one thought now, that is to escape from this palace, escape from this Prince's Mansion, and immediately return to his fiefdom.

Then he didn't want to see his concubine mother, the executioner who killed his own brother, for the rest of his life!
Seeing Zhu Yunwen crying so sadly, Lao Zhu thought that he cared about brotherhood and felt sorry for his younger brother Zhu Yunxi's death.

"Good boy!"

"Come to Grandpa, let Grandpa see what is going on with the pockmark on your face..."

"Grandfather, grandson's face is not in the way, it's from the acne when he was sick."

"It's all right now."

"Oh oh oh..."

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunxi again, seeing that Zhu Yunxi was peeking at him, he hurriedly waved to him.

"Yunxi also came to Grandpa's side, let Grandpa take a good look."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxuan hurriedly walked over, and then looked nervously at Grandpa Huang.

"Grandfather, hello!"

"install!"

"We're safe!"

"Come on, let's hug!"

Old Zhu leaned down and picked up Zhu Yunxi, seeing Zhu Yunxi's thin face felt distressed for a while.

These are also his own grandsons, the flesh and blood left by his eldest son in this world!

When Lao Zhu hugged his grandson and felt sad, Qin Deshun quietly walked over.

"My lord, Princess Lin'an, Princess Ningguo, Princess Anqing and others are waiting outside the palace..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, a trace of fear flashed across his face.

Although the matter of exchanging shares for food was a strategy set by his grandson, he still broods on it, feeling that his daughters are ignorant and even take advantage of his nephew.

"What are they doing here?"

"Reporting to the emperor, saying that I came to mourn my little nephew..."

"Oh!"

"They still have a bit of conscience!"

"Show them in!"

Not long after, Princess Lin'an, Princess Ningguo, and Princess Anqing each brought their sons and daughters to the Prince's Mansion. Seeing that their father was also there, they hurriedly greeted their father first.

Lao Zhu waved his hands impatiently and said to his daughters.

"First offer incense to your little nephew before we talk!"

"promise!"

After the three princesses burned incense and worshiped Zhu Yunxi respectively, they came to the emperor's father to greet him step by step.

"My daughter learned outside the palace that the emperor was in a coma after being vaccinated with vaccinia. These days, she is very worried. She has always wanted to enter the palace to visit the emperor..."

When Lao Zhu heard the eldest princess Lin'an say this, a sneer flashed across his face.

"Are you going to come over and cry poorly with us again?"

When Lao Zhu was born in Lin'an, he was attacking cities everywhere, and his life was extremely difficult.

Therefore, Princess Lin'an wandered with him and suffered a lot since childhood.

So much so that Lin'an, even if he is married, takes money very seriously, and always pulls money from his mother's house like a rake holding money.

Lin'an didn't feel annoyed when he heard his father say that about her, he just cried poorly out of habit.

"Daughter can't help it either!"

"Orphans and widows who support their two sons, if they don't take advantage of the emperor's favor, they can save more money for the two sons. When the new emperor changes in the future, who will recognize me as an aunt!"

Old Zhu's eyelids drooped when he heard this, and he deliberately pretended not to hear to tease Zhu Yunxi.

It's just that Zhu Yunxi's grandson is far less fun than the other little Ni grandson. No matter how much he teases, this grandson always has a serious smile on his face.

"Big girl, don't cry poor with us!"

"Haven't your father-in-law's family property been collected by you, but we haven't touched a single one!"

Princess Lin'an's father-in-law is the number one hero in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang, who ranks at the top of the list of princes.

Li Shanchang was also a miser, and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he did not lose the wool of the Ming Dynasty.

It's nothing more than occupying the people's fields. To repair their own houses, they have to transfer [-] soldiers from the barracks to help them lay bricks and mud.

Even so, Lao Zhu is still very tolerant to Li Shanchang.It wasn't until it was revealed that he conspired with Hu Weiyong and knew that Hu Weiyong was going to rebel, but he didn't tell him the emperor at all, which aroused Lao Zhu's murderous intentions.

I feel that I have spent half my life, but I have not been able to warm up this old guy's heart, so that he is still so unfaithful to me.

Therefore, under the joint letter of all the ministers, Lao Zhu killed Li Shanchang logically.

But after Lao Zhu killed Li Shanchang, he was not happy. Instead, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, and even faintly regretted it.

I feel that I am still too irritable, and I should delay it for a few years.

Li Shanchang was already quite old, instead of cutting him off with a single knife and getting a bad name for being mean and unkind, it is better to keep him alive for a few more years and let him slowly die of old age.

Because of this guilt, he was extremely tolerant towards his eldest daughter, Princess Lin'an. Not only did he not confiscate the Li family's property, but he often rewarded his eldest daughter.

Lin'an heard his father's run on him, and turned back without giving in.

"The daughter thanked the emperor for his kindness on behalf of the dead father-in-law!"

This is a typical example of which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, and Lao Zhu is so angry that he almost rolls his eyes.

Seeing that her father was about to get angry, Princess Ningguo quickly pushed her eldest sister, and then signaled her fourth sister, Princess Anqing, to take her to sit on the sidelines.

However, Princess Anqing just stood there straight as if she didn't see it.

Because speaking of it, she also had a grudge against her father, and it was a grudge against her husband.

Ouyang Lun, Princess Anqing's son-in-law, was slaughtered by Lao Zhu as a model, to warn those lawless nobles, to let them know that they have become ruthless, and even killed their own son-in-law, you can decide for yourself.

Seeing that Princess Ningguo couldn't do anything about Anqing, she had to come forward and drag her eldest sister to the inner room, and handed her elder sister Princess Lin'an to Concubine Guo Hui, and let Concubine Guo Hui drag her to chat.

When only Lao Zhu and Princess Anqing were left outside, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Lao Zhu's face.

He dared to say that he had a clear conscience towards his sons in his life, but when he treated his own daughters, Lao Zhu's back could not stand up straight.

"Is Anqing doing well these days?"

An Qing resentfully blessed his father, and said angrily.

"good!"

"Thanks to my father's blessing, our mothers didn't go to the street to beg for food..."

"Ugh!"

Old Zhu sighed when he heard the words.

"Let's let the past matter pass. That matter is what the father did wrong. Didn't the father pay you for it? Don't you get angry with the father..."

When Princess Anqing saw what Lao Zhu said, she couldn't help but wiped away her tears aggrieved.

"Daughter... dare not blame the emperor..."

"But father... can't let others bully... bully my daughter..."

"My daughter has worked so hard to raise a few children, and her life is already tight, and your grand... grandson cheated you out of tens of thousands of taels of silver... silver... woo woo woo..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, his embarrassing old face flushed again.

"How can you cheat so much?"

"It's not that golden...golden pox vaccine..."

"There is no one like that grandson who cheated his family. He planted a golden pox vaccine and blackmailed his daughter for 1000 taels of silver..."

"My daughter's family has a large population, and all the children in the family have used the golden pox vaccine. Can you still favor the nephews and nieces of the deceased husband?"

"These ten or so children are counted together, so it's only 1 taels of silver that went out, woo woo woo..."

Seeing that Princess Anqing was crying like pear blossoms and rain, Lao Zhu hurriedly put down Zhu Yunxi, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.

"do not Cry!"

"Father will return to the palace in a while to beat up that grandson to vent your anger on you, and then ask him to return the money to you!"

When Princess Anqing heard this, she stopped crying immediately, wiped away her tears, and said coyly.

"Actually, there is no need to withdraw, you can ask your eldest nephew to give up the shares of the Jinling Coal Industry Chamber of Commerce to your daughter..."

"Uh uh?"

Old Zhu was stunned when he heard this, he felt as if he had been fooled!
These three rebellious girls are not here to attend the funeral, but to continue to take advantage of his grandson!
