Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Chapter 24: We are all descendants of the Zhu family, so try to keep a bowl of water as flat as possible!

And ability….
Except for a few extremely powerful people, most people have similar abilities.

Even if you start low, you can get up with a little training.

Just like Liu Bang, a whole county of talents accompanied him to create the Han Empire.

His Zhu Yuanzhang team is similar.

So loyalty is first and foremost.

now.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's hesitation, Yang Ruchang boldly said: "Your Majesty, that is an immortal!"

"If you don't give Immortal Prison his correct position, what will the other officials of Qin Tian Prison think? If Immortal's official position is lower than a certain official, what will that official think? This... cannot convince the public."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his frown relaxed slightly.

He was convinced by Yang Ruchang.

Yes!

Qin Tian Jian is in communication with heaven. Immortals are closest to heaven. He is not the leader. What will the people below think?
It’s easy for people to gossip when they get together. When this news reaches the people, what will they think?
"Yang Jianzheng, you are right."

"This immortal... you will visit us later with our imperial edict. We are blind and cannot see. Please help us see if he is suitable for Qin Tian Jian Zheng. If he is suitable, we will read the imperial edict appointing him Qin Tian Jian Zheng." .”

Yang Ruchang was excited and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

Seeing how excited he was, Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly.

After thinking for a while, he reminded: "Yang Jianzheng, remember, you are the Qintian Jianzheng of the Ming Dynasty, and then you are a fool who has been looking for immortals all your life."

"The Qintian Supervisor is very important to the entire Ming Dynasty. Do you understand that I am seeking a position in his position?"

Yang Ruchang was slightly startled.

Then the hair on his head stood up, his voice became frightened, and he cupped his hands and said: "Old minister, I understand..."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Well, wait."

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked to the case, holding a wolf hair in his hand, and began to write in burnt ink: The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says... Yang Ruchang, the former eunuch of the Qin Tianjian, abdicated... Now he is bestowed with a title...
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped writing, thought for a while, and started to use his pen.

The master of Tianyun Temple is now granted the title of Imperial Heavenly Supervisor... He can enjoy freedom and the various ministries of the imperial court have no right to make transfers...
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished affixing the seal, he said: "Yang Jianzheng, please keep the imperial edict in hand and make sure that this immortal son has no problem reading it."

"He is at Tianyun Temple. As for who he is and how to find him, there will be Jin Yiwei to take you there."

Yang Ruchang's eyes were hesitant and he took the imperial edict with both hands.

"Old minister, take your orders."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Go ahead. You are the first official in the imperial court to come into contact with him after our eldest grandson. Remember to speak with propriety."

Yang Ruchang took the order and left.

After he left, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the eunuch to call over Wang Jinghong, the chief eunuch.

"His Majesty."

After Wang Jinghong came in, he bowed his hands and saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said bluntly: "What's going on with Yunwen these two days? You still haven't gone to class?"

Zhu Yuanzhang valued his family very much and was also very considerate.

A few days ago, after the death of the eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, many officials went to visit Zhu Yunwen.

This is what Jin Yiwei told him, and what he acquiesced to.

The eldest grandson is dead, and the Ming Dynasty will have to have an eldest grandson in the future.

If it is delayed for too long, all officials will take sides, and party disputes will arise, which will prevent the court from concentrating its power and lead to wasteful and meaningless fighting with each other.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish the emperor's eldest grandson as soon as possible to eliminate the ideas of some officials.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi are choices consistent with common sense and ethics.

Zhu Yunxi, the second son of the Chang family, was cowardly by nature. Sometimes when Zhu Yuanzhang went to see him, Zhu Yunxi would not dare to look up at him.

How to take on such a big responsibility?
In comparison, Zhu Yunwen is much better. Although he is much worse than his elder brother Zhu Xiongying, he has no shortcomings in all aspects.

His son Zhu Biao also said he was suitable.

The officials make their own decisions according to the prevailing situation, and each has his or her own skills. They often stand up in several teams and hold their own opinions when encountering any issue. But regarding this matter, they all went to visit Zhu Yunwen's mansion, which explained everything.

Not surprisingly, he was the next emperor's eldest grandson, and Zhu Yuanzhang thought so too.

I plan to start preparations after finishing the matter of Xiongying Sanqi and the girl.

Sanqi, in folklore, the first seven souls are there, the second seven souls are there, and the Sanqi souls are in the crane.

As expected, Zhu Yunwen will be the emperor's eldest grandson a month later.

But never expected that the hero would be resurrected.

The matter of the new emperor's eldest grandson was forgotten by everyone without any need for ventilation.

It doesn't matter if they forget, after all, no matter how the emperor's eldest grandson changes, he will still be a member of the Zhu family, and it's just a matter of another person to assist him.

but….
What a bolt from the blue was this for Zhu Yunwen?
How heartbreaking would it be to lose the once coveted position of the eldest grandson?

Zhu Yuanzhang understood this feeling.

He prefers Xiongying, but he will not forget Yunwen. These are his grandchildren, and the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness Yunwen still hasn't gone."

Wang Jinghonghui reported: "I have asked Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, and they said that His Highness Yunwen has not been here for two days."

"His Highness Yunwen's residence, I also asked him in his humble position. Your Highness has been locked in his room for almost a day."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered: "Have you eaten?"

Wang Jinghong shook his head: "No, it has been almost eight hours [sixteen hours] since the last time we had dinner."

"Nonsense!" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little angry: "We know that the eldest grandson will be sad if his position is gone, but he can't not even eat."

"Go, take the food, drag him out of the house, and look at him personally..."

Halfway through his words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered something.

These were the words that the girl who was still recuperating in Kunning Palace had never said to him once.

"Chongba, I know you favor heroes, but the other grandchildren are also members of our Zhu family, so we should try our best to keep the bowl of water as even as possible."

Queen Ma always urged him like this.

Zhu Yuanzhang also listened. If Xiongying hadn't eaten at this time, would he have done it so roughly?

will not.

"This Yunwen, eh..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then took a deep breath: "You have forgotten what we just said. Go to his house and say...just come to our place. I will take him out in the afternoon to get some fresh air."

"Of course, you have to tell him that it doesn't matter if he comes or not."

Zhu Yuanzhang was accustomed to using an attitude of non-rejection when talking to officials. It was an order.

But with his family, he will give him a choice.

Wang Jinghong accepted the order and slowly retreated.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang began to find other people to do other things, and kept busy.

The three things he just did took up only a quarter of an hour.

And he still needs an hour, or even several hours, to deal with more things.

This is also the busyness he has had to go through since the prime minister was abolished.
.
….…….….….….
East Palace.

Madam Lu had already summoned several burly eunuchs, preparing to knock Zhu Yunwen's study away.

She panicked.

She knew her son was feeling very uncomfortable, but he just didn't go to class yesterday, and today he closed the study room, which made it obviously more serious.

Fortunately, her husband Zhu Biao went to court. Otherwise, if he saw this scene, his disappointment in Yun Wen would... get bigger, right?
Therefore, Mrs. Lu made up her mind to let her son recover before Zhu Biao came back. At least he would not close the study and be able to communicate normally.

Just when the eunuch was about to knock on the door.

There was a creaking sound, and it was Zhu Yunwen who walked out of the study.
