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

Chapter 73 Zhu Yuanzhang: The emperor is a bereaved dog

Royal Garden.

Under the scorching sun, the air in the garden seemed to be distorted by evaporation, and it was steaming as far as the eye could see. A looming heat rises from the stone floor of the courtyard, like light smoke.

In the pavilion, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting upright, his face shrouded in shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Wang Jinghong, the chief eunuch, walked over in a hurry. Although his steps were brisk, he could not hide the anxious look on his face.

He was still three feet away from the pavilion, but he could already feel the overwhelming cold air emanating from Zhu Yuanzhang's body. This cold air was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart, making him shiver involuntarily.

"Your Majesty." He knelt outside the pavilion, his voice revealing deep respect and fear, "Concubine Weng hanged herself after receiving the order."

In the pavilion, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly opened, shooting out a cold light. He snorted coldly, his voice like ice in the cold winter, bone-chilling cold: "In consideration of my service to her these past few years, I will leave her body intact."

Wang Jinghong buried his head even lower. He had served Zhu Yuanzhang for many years and was well aware of the emperor's thunderous wrath. At this moment, he only felt that his heart was beating wildly, as if it would jump out of his chest at any time.

However, he still mustered up the courage and took a step forward: "Your Majesty, please have a meal. You haven't eaten for a day, and your dragon body is in a hurry."

"I won't die of hunger!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly waved his sleeves, stood up, and walked towards the depths of the garden with his back to Wang Jinghong. "We are very annoyed now, so don't bother us with these trivial matters."

Wang Jinghong's heart tightened, but he still did not dare to neglect at all, and followed Zhu Yuanzhang cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is better to go back to the palace. The poisonous sun outside may damage the dragon's body."

"Poison? Where's the poison?" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands irritably, "Why don't we feel hot? Stop blabbering here and stay where it's cool."

Wang Jinghong had no choice but to follow Zhu Yuanzhang from a distance, keeping a distance.

……

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a loud shout broke the silence of the Royal Garden.

Chang Yuchun ran over in stride, and his arrival seemed to inject a bit of vitality into the dull air.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed the news and when he saw Chang Yuchun, he suddenly became happy and said, "Bo Ren? Hahaha, Boren, you came at the right time. We are feeling bored. Come on, let's go have a drink."

Chang Yuchun looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's happy look and couldn't help but spread his hands and smiled: "Huh? The emperor will also feel lonely and bored?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, he looked around, with a trace of embarrassment flashing across his face: "Once the emperor becomes lonely, it will be uncomfortable. He is like a bereaved dog, with his head drooped, tail between his legs, hiding in the corners of the corner. , not to mention how uncomfortable it is.”

After Chang Yuchun heard this, he laughed loudly without any scruples: "Hahaha, the emperor has such a difficult time."

Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed: "You know how to make fun of us. Let's go have a drink. We won't come back until we're drunk today!"

"necessary."

Chang Yuchun laughed boldly, "Tang He and Li Wenzhong are here too and are waiting outside."

"Great." Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, "Oh, even Xu Da is still out."

"Wouldn't he also come back during the New Year?" Chang Yuchun said, "Let's discuss the Northern Expedition next year."

"Let's go, let's ask the Imperial Garden to prepare some more dishes to go with the wine." Zhu Yuanzhang waved.

Not long after, in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, and Li Wenzhong were drinking, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Wang Jinghong, the chief eunuch standing outside, breathed a sigh of relief.

Your Majesty has finally finished his meal and is no longer bothered.

……

"Your Majesty, I was almost beaten by the fourth prince when I went shopping yesterday."

Tang He's face was already red, but he laughed heartily, "Hey, the fourth prince has become successful. He is the leader of the Zhaotian Gang, and he has made the streets along the Qinhuai River very clean."

"Our fourth child can't get into the school at Dabentang, so we found him a great master." Zhu Yuanzhang looked proud. "The fourth prince has the same demeanor as your Majesty when you were young." Tang He raised his head and said, "He challenged me yesterday."

"He beat you?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a hint of joking flashed in his eyes, but he pretended to be surprised on his face.

"That's not true. How could I fight with a child?" Tang He waved his hands and said angrily, "The fourth prince's arrogance is really unbearable. Otherwise, let the princes and the sons of the generals have a fight. How about the martial arts competition? I promise to let my son teach him a good lesson."

"Hahaha, I think it will work!" Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and applauded.

"Your Majesty, if the princes lose then, don't get angry." Chang Yuchun interrupted.

"If they lose, they lose. That's because they don't have the ability." Zhu Yuanzhang was very excited. "Not only will we not get angry, but we will also give a big reward to the winner."

"That's fine." Li Wenzhong smiled bitterly, "My little bastard contradicts me every day, so he has to suffer a lot."

The four of them talked more and more enthusiastically, talking about how to take care of their sons.

It was finally decided that three days later, the princes and the sons of the generals would compete in martial arts, and anyone over the age of eight could participate.

……

The next day, the main hall of the palace.

Zhu Di was summoned back. He was completely tanned, but his eyes were bright and full of energy, exuding a fierce aura.

"Brother Prince, what's going on?" As soon as he entered the hall, he couldn't help but complain, "I still have a lot of things to do in my gang."

"Fourth, aren't you just a little gang leader? You're still out of breath while you're playing house?" Zhu Fan raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Third brother, you are jealous."

Zhu Di was immediately furious. He held his head high, shook his legs, and said provocatively, "Don't accept it? Come on, let's fight."

"Who's afraid of whom?" Zhu Fan rolled up his sleeves and was about to wear them.

Zhu Biao quickly stood between them.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang came over and shouted: "Why are you arguing? You want to fight, right? Very good, I have found a chance for you. Three days later, the princes will compete with the sons of the generals."

"What?" Zhu Biao and Zhu Chong were all shocked.

"Really?" Zhu Di was overjoyed.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a black line on his head and glanced over: "I'm telling you, don't embarrass me."

"Father, is this not good?"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly and stepped forward and said, "Uncle Tang, Uncle Chang's son is much older than us. How can we compare?"

"Yes." Zhu Xi agreed.

Instead, Zhu Di looked excited, shaking his legs and waving his fists: "My master said, it's not shameful to lose, it's shameful to be afraid!"

"well said!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes were full of approval, "Old Fourth, your master finally said something serious."

Zhu Di clenched his fists: "Young Master, I have long been dissatisfied with Chang Mao and Chang Sheng. This time, Young Master, I will push them to the ground and rub them."

Zhu Yuanzhang covered his face.

This kid is so arrogant that even outsiders want to beat him up.
