Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1017: The curtain rises and falls (1)

"Hey~"

"Snapped!"

Dazzling fireworks bloom in the sky, the sun sets, the clouds in the sky look like fire, and the setting sun seems to be lingering on the world and is reluctant to fall.

Xiyuan.

In front of Yuxi Palace.

"Father! Look, the fireworks are so beautiful!"

A childish voice sounded, adding a different atmosphere to the place. Zhu Youxiao, standing with his hands behind his back, looked at the children in the open space, who raised their heads excitedly to watch the fireworks. Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly.

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Next to the child, there was a little boy who said, "Don't fall."

"will not."

Zhu Ciran smiled and pointed at a child of similar age beside him, "Unless Guoge falls first, I will not fall, hehe."

"Your Highness, look!"

The child that Zhu Ciran was pointing at suddenly raised his hand to the sky and said, "These fireworks and the sunset clouds match so well!"

"right."

Zhu Ciran looked up, then raised his chin and said, "I said that setting off fireworks at dusk is better than setting them off at night, right? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Li Guo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Fuchen who were standing behind him all showed helpless smiles, and then looked at Li Dingguo, Yuan Zongde and others. If it weren't for their instigation, how could their prince take out the reward given by the emperor and use it only now?

But this disturbed the emperor.

"Ran Ge'er, have you forgotten all the palace rules?"

While the group was thinking, Zhu Youxiao, surrounded by a group of people, walked towards Zhu Ciran and asked, "It's not a festival, why are you setting off fireworks?"

"Greetings to Your Majesty!!"

Li Guo, Sun Kewang and his entourage hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"I have seen that Father is too tired recently, so I want to find some fun for him."

Zhu Ciran raised his little head and said to Zhu Youxiao with a smile: "Look, father is smiling. Father, you should smile more when you have nothing to do. Mother has said more than once that father has seldom smiled in the past two years."

"Have it?"

Zhu Youxiao stroked his chin and pretended to be thoughtful: "Do I really seldom smile?"

"Have!"

Zhu Ciran said very seriously.

"You must have remembered it wrongly."

While saying this, Zhu Youxiao bent down, picked up Zhu Ciran, and then threw Zhu Ciran into the air. This scene scared many people, and Liu Ruoyu, Wei Liangqing and his party all reached out subconsciously.

"Haha~"

But Zhu Ciran, who was thrown into the air, did not show any fear. Instead, he laughed. Soon, he was steadily caught by Zhu Youxiao.

Call ~
Li Guo, Sun Kewang and others all breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"If I remember correctly, this is the last reward you have saved up, right?" Zhu Youxiao hugged Zhu Ciran and said with a faint smile.

"You used the reward I gave you to exchange for a bunch of fireworks to make me laugh, Ran Ge'er, don't you feel sorry at all?"

"How can I not feel bad?"

Zhu Ciran pouted, his brows slightly furrowed, "But I feel more sorry for Father, especially these few times, Guo Ge'er has quietly told me that Father seems to be upset about something, and I have also discovered it, so I have been discussing with Guo Ge'er and Di Ge'er behind their backs how to make Father happy."

"Haha~"

Zhu Youxiao laughed and then looked at Li Dingguo and Yuan Zongde who were pretending to be calm. The two men, who seemed guilty, grinned at this moment.

Li Guo, Sun Kewang and their gang all glared at Li Dingguo and Yuan Zongde, wondering how could they do such a thing.

But when Zhu Youxiao saw this scene, he felt particularly gratified and moved.

Before he knew it, his eldest son had grown up, and the little ones gathered around him began to consider things for their eldest son one by one.

"After being tormented by you like this, I feel much better."

Zhu Youxiao sighed and said with a smile: "Since the fireworks have been set off, how about holding a bonfire dinner in Yuxi Palace tonight?"

"Really?" Zhu Ciran opened his eyes slightly and looked at Zhu Youxiao in surprise, "Father, I want to eat roasted whole lamb!"

"it is good."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "If Ran wants to eat it, then grill it. What about you guys?"

Having said this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Li Dingguo and his party.

"Your Majesty, I want to eat noodles!"

"Your Majesty, I want to eat kebabs!"

Li Dingguo and Yuan Zongde were also somewhat excited.

"what about you?"

Seeing Zhu Ciran struggling to get down, Zhu Youxiao put him down with a smile, then looked at Li Guo, Sun Kewang and the others, "I'm in a good mood so rarely, don't tell me it's okay."

This statement made Li Guo, Sun Kewang and others laugh awkwardly.

"Brother Guo, it's a rare occasion that our father is going to hold a bonfire dinner, why did you say you wanted to eat noodles?" At this time, Zhu Ciran ran up to Li Dingguo and frowned.

"Your Highness, I want to eat."

Li Dingguo said, "I still remember that last year, Your Majesty ordered people to make noodles with oil and add chili peppers. The taste was so delicious."

"Yes, I don't know who it was, but it made him cry."

Zhu Ciran deliberately exposed the shortcomings.

"I didn't cry!"

Li Dingguo said stubbornly.

"Ha ha!"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao could not help but burst into laughter, and Liu Ruoyu, Wei Liangqing and his party who were standing behind him, seeing their Majesty laughing so happily, they also laughed.

The emperor has rarely laughed so happily in recent years.

"Liu Ruoyu!"

"The servant is here."

Liu Ruoyu, who was full of thoughts, immediately stepped forward and bowed when he heard the emperor calling him.

"Go get ready."

Zhu Youxiao said, and then pointed at Li Guo and his party, "Prepare more. These guys are more greedy than each other. If you prepare less, I won't be able to eat."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Liu Ruoyu suppressed his smile and bowed quickly.

On the other hand, although Li Guo, Sun Kewang and others showed some embarrassment on their faces, they all felt a warm current in their hearts, as if His Majesty always remembered them.

"Wei Liangqing."

"Chen is here!"

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at Wei Liangqing.

"Come for a walk with me."

"Here!"

Wei Liangqing agreed verbally, but he knew in his heart that the emperor was concerned about the affairs of Southeast Asia.

"Has Wei Banban submitted any secret reports recently?"

Zhu Youxiao walked with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face gone, and said to Wei Liangqing who was following him with his head lowered.

"Your Majesty, no secret memorials have been submitted recently."

Wei Liangqing said truthfully: "But according to the information we have gathered, the situation in Nanyang will surely become stable by the second half of this year at the latest."

"It's been six years since the Apocalypse."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "Time flies. So much time has passed in the blink of an eye. Those Western barbarians who wanted to plot against Southeast Asia have been tossed around one by one and no longer have the courage to confront the Ming Dynasty."

Having said this, Zhu Youxiao stopped and looked up at the setting sun.

This scene is so similar to the present-day Nanyang.
