Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 272 Zhu Gaochi is born! Fourth Master Zhu: Another person with great luck
Prince Yan's Mansion.

Fourth Master Zhu was depressed, so Zhu Di took him back to the palace, where he and his grandson drank. Xu Miaoyun, who was already pregnant, personally cooked several dishes for the two of them.

"Miaoyun, are you feeling okay?" Fourth Master Zhu asked.

"Everything is fine. My child and I are both healthy." Xu Miaoyun smiled.

She has been practicing martial arts for a long time. Although she is pregnant with a child, her hands are still very strong. If Zhu Di hadn't kept her busy, she would have continued to practice swordplay every day. Fourth Master Zhu took a sip of wine and asked, "Where is your father-in-law? I haven't seen him in the past few days."

"I'm going back to the capital." Zhu Di sighed.

"What? How come I don't know?" Fourth Master Zhu was surprised. "This Xu Da didn't even come to say hello to me? Besides, this Miaoyun was about to give birth. He didn't wait to see his grandson. He was in a hurry. Why are you going back to the capital?"

"It's His Majesty's will." Helplessness flashed in Xu Miaoyun's eyes.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned. He understood. Is Zhu Yuanzhang worried about Xu Da and Zhu Di being together? This one is the strongest general in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the strongest prince.

"Hmph, I am in charge of Northern Xinjiang, and Zhu Chongba has an imperial decree." Fourth Master Zhu snorted coldly.

Fourth Master Zhu staggered and his face turned red.

"My father-in-law and my father have been good brothers ever since we wore crotchless pants. He will definitely not embarrass a good brother." Zhu Di spread his hands, "That's why he didn't say goodbye to you for fear that you would think too much. ah."

After leaving the palace and walking on the bustling streets, Fourth Master Zhu's depressed mood improved a lot. It was dusk at this moment, and people coming and going were all hurrying home.

They asked Xu Miaoyun to sit cross-legged on the mat, and then they released their true energy and continued to compress it to the extreme, turning it into a small ball. Finally, transfer the small ball into Xu Miaoyun's body. Xu Miaoyun immediately used her skills to guide the small ball into the fetus, and finally sank into the fetus' Dantian.

I need to go to Feiyan Tower? There is a beautiful great shaman in the mansion, so get her first.

"Hey!" Suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, "Lao Si, use your and my skills to join forces and inject a ball of true energy into the child in Miaoyun's belly. This is like innate true energy. Not only will it protect him Being healthy after birth may bring out unexpected talents.”

……

"Haha, it's done!" Zhu Di was overjoyed.

"It's time to speed up the pace." Fourth Master Zhu nodded slowly.

Just do it!

"I hope there will be an innate master in the Zhu family." Fourth Master Zhu laughed loudly.

Suddenly, Fourth Master Zhu noticed a palm wind approaching from behind. He turned around quickly and punched without hesitation. There was a muffled bang, and a black shadow quickly disappeared, as if blending into the void.

"It won't hurt the fetus, right?" Xu Miaoyun was a little worried.

"That's good to pay attention to!" Zhu Di was overjoyed.

"Grandpa, eat some vegetables." Xu Miaoyun picked up vegetables for Fourth Master Zhu.

Fourth Master Zhu took a sip of wine. He was thinking in his heart, is the person who sat on the throne just like what he said in the TV series he watched in his previous life, so he wouldn't trust anyone? Can the Zhu family escape this cliche?
"Grandpa, let's develop vigorously while there is no war at present." Zhu Di smiled, "Anyway, I listen to you."

……

Fourth Master Zhu looked at her big belly, which contained the future Hongxi fat Zhu Gaochi. According to historical records, Zhu Gaochi was so frail and obese that he died less than a year after taking the throne.

"Yes!" Zhu Di nodded, "Empress Qi is gone, so grandpa won't go to Feiyan Tower as much."

He carefully checked Xu Miaoyun's body again, and after making sure that everything was fine, he left Prince Yan's Mansion and said before leaving: "Fourth, you should stay with Miaoyun during this time, and you don't have to worry about military affairs."

"Definitely not." Zhu Di waved his hand, "Don't you know the strength of grandpa and I?"

"It's a ninja." Fourth Master Zhu smiled contemptuously, with a chill flashing in his eyes.

He clenched his fist and suddenly swung it towards the void on the right. There was a muffled groan, and a man in black was shot down from his hiding place and fell heavily to the ground. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and stared at Fourth Master Zhu in disbelief: "How could you find me?"

"You Japanese people are so naive." Fourth Master Zhu said with a mocking smile, "You ninjas may be able to hide your bodies, but you have forgotten that your breath cannot be concealed."

"Can you detect even weak breathing?" the man in black asked in shock.

"Tell me, why do you want to assassinate me?" Fourth Master Zhu asked coldly.

"For Japan!" The man in black replied through gritted teeth, "Because you are the manipulator behind the Ming Trading Company."

"So, you are from the Southern Dynasty of Japan?" Fourth Master Zhu chuckled, "Isn't this inappropriate? I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court supports you in the Southern Dynasty, but you come to assassinate the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Hmph, do you think we don't know about your vicious plan?" the man shouted angrily.

"I know, so what! Shouldn't you go according to my plan?" A cold light flashed in Mr. Zhu's eyes. He raised his hand and slapped the man's head. The man instantly collapsed and died.

He took back his hand and looked coldly.

It seems that the Japanese are not stupid. They saw their plan and sent someone to assassinate them? …

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Wenhua Hall of the Imperial Palace.

There is a basket of corn in the hall. It was sent by the Ministry of Revenue. They said that corn was planted last year and there was a bumper harvest. They sent a basket to the emperor to taste it. The Ministry of Revenue is planning to vigorously promote it in the Ming Dynasty next year.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the basket of golden corn and couldn't help frowning and thinking: "How should this be eaten?"

Zhu Biao smiled and replied: "Father, I have already asked my grandfather for advice. Corn can be roasted, steamed, and even used to make soup."

"Oh? Let's try it." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the eunuch to prepare the oven with great interest.

An hour later, the aroma of roasted corn filled the entire hall. Zhu Yuanzhang tasted the roasted corn and praised it: "It's really delicious, sweet and delicious."

Zhu Biao also picked up a piece of steamed corn and said while chewing: "Father, this steamed corn tastes more fresh and tender."

After the father and son finished eating a few corns, Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his belly with satisfaction and said with emotion: "By promoting corn cultivation, the people will have an additional source of food. Moreover, this crop can be grown in the mountains and will not take up our valuable resources." of plain fertile land.”

"Father, in addition to corn, we also have high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes." Zhu Biao added, "If these can be widely promoted, people will no longer have to worry about famine."

"These things are more important than those gold and silver mines." Zhu Yuanzhang sat up, "By the way, hasn't the fleet of the Daming Trading Company returned yet? Didn't they say they were transporting gold?"

"..." Zhu Biao held up his forehead, "Father, that fleet belongs to grandpa, not yours, and I won't give it to you when it comes back."

"Hehe, what's father's is ours!" Zhu Yuanjiao said with a smile, "We have also exempted people from taxes in some areas. We are just waiting for Daming Trading Company to give us money."

The father and son chatted for a while, then summoned officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to discuss promoting the planting of corn, potatoes, potatoes, etc.

……

Peking City.

The cultivation of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes is also promoted here, but Fourth Master Zhu's attention is on another plant, tobacco.

He has not smoked cigarettes for decades since he came to this world. Now that he has tobacco, why don't he get better? He has already figured out how to make cigarettes and is preparing to meet a cigarette factory. If you promote this thing, aren’t all the big guys in the West and Southeast Asia customers?

"Grandpa, what are you messing with?" Zhu Di came over curiously.

He saw Fourth Master Zhu chopping up some dried leaves and rolling them up with a piece of paper. Fourth Master Zhu lit this homemade cigarette and took a deep breath with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Grandpa, are you okay? Are you out of your mind?" Zhu Di felt speechless.

"Fourth, you don't understand." Fourth Master Zhu took another puff, "This is a man's treasure. Come and try it. A cigarette after a meal will make you feel as happy as a god."

With the encouragement of Fourth Master Zhu, Zhu Di half-heartedly followed the example of Fourth Master Zhu and rolled a cigarette and tried to take a puff. Although the first puff almost made him choke, after a few more puffs, he gradually felt a sense of ecstasy.

"Grandpa, what on earth is this?" Zhu Di asked curiously.

"This is a cigarette." Mr. Zhu replied, "This is just a preliminary version now. When I officially produce it, it will definitely become popular all over the world."

"This is really a good thing!" Zhu Di praised sincerely.

The two smoked for a while, but Fourth Master Zhu told Zhu Di not to smoke in front of Xu Miaoyun, as it would affect the children. Smoking is harmful to health.

……

In the blink of an eye, two months flew by.

On this day, Xu Miaoyun finally gave birth, and the midwife carefully carried the newborn out of the delivery room. Zhu Di was excited and excited. He cautiously took the child from the midwife's hands and laughed loudly: "I am now a father, hahaha, I finally have a son!"

"Hurry up and give the child a name." Fourth Master Zhu on the side suggested with a smile.

Zhu Di gently shook the baby in his arms, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "According to the genealogy set by our father for our lineage, this child belongs to the 'high' generation. Then, let's call him Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi, Gaochi... …”

"Okay, now you can go see your wife. Let me hug this great-grandson." Mr. Zhu said and took the child from Zhu Di's hand.

Zhu Di turned around and hurried into the house to visit Xu Miaoyun, who had just experienced the pain of childbirth. Fourth Master Zhu was holding Zhu Gaochi. Suddenly, the child waved his fist and hit Master Zhu's arm, causing pain. Fourth Master Zhu was shocked: "Oh, you boy is born with supernatural powers."

At this time, Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes and made a few childish sounds. Fourth Master Zhu shook him gently and teased: "Zhu Gaochi, fat Hong Xi, you must grow up healthily."

"Bah, bah, bah." Zhu Gaochi seemed to understand and actually smiled.

"Hahaha, good, good, good, I have been gifted since I was a child." Fourth Master Zhu laughed. However, he was even more worried. Over the years, he had gained a stronger grasp of the elusive fate. Zhu Gaochi was obviously carrying a huge fortune.

Zhu family, another person with great luck appears.
