Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 228 Iron Pillar
As expected by the old man, when the two of them harvested the wheat in the field, water droplets fell from the sky and landed on their necks, making it chilly.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Park Guochang commanded the little eunuchs to quickly move the bundled wheat into the warehouse.

The old man was still squatting on the ground, rummaging through the field for the leftover ears of wheat.

"Grandpa, it's raining!" Zhu Xiongying said, "Don't pick it up, the rain is getting heavier!"

"Hurry up and go to your grandmother's place, the autumn rain is no joke!" The old man suddenly had no intention of getting up, "Pu Guochang, what are you doing, old dog?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Xiongying only felt his body lighten, and he had already been hugged.

Then I saw Pu Guochang striding like flying, carrying Zhu Xiongying into the rain-backed gazebo.

Empress Ma took the towel and said with a smile, "Wipe it quickly, the autumn rain is cool!"

Zhu Xiongying looked at the old man in the drizzle, "Grandpa Huang is still over there!"

"Don't worry, he's just like that!" Empress Ma brought Zhu Xiongying some dry clothes and said with a smile, "Food is his life!"

Then, he said to Zhu Xiongying, "Grand grandson, don't underestimate the grain that falls on the ground, it can survive!" Having said this, he sighed, "That year when your grandpa was fighting outside, I brought people to fight. Harvest at home!"

"Your grandpa specially sent a letter to ask that even a single grain of rice should not be ruined on the ground. The autumn harvest was also against the wind and rain. Xu Da's mother-in-law and I, Tang He's mother-in-law, lived beside the field, watching They do it!"

When Queen Ma was talking about the past, the rain suddenly picked up.

From the vagueness at the beginning to the gurgling, and from the gurgling to the rustling.

Then from the sound, it turned into a rain curtain.

"Oh!' In the heavy rain, the old man laughed and rushed into the gazebo, wiping the rainwater from his head with one big hand, and holding a few ears of wheat in the other.

Empress Ma stepped forward to change his clothes, Zhu Xiongying took the ears of wheat, shook them a few times to shed the rainwater on them, and put them aside.

"Has the field been cleaned up?" Queen Ma asked with a smile.

The old man rubbed his head and face with a towel, and said loudly, "It's cleaner than a dog's bone!" As he spoke, he looked at the ears of wheat that Zhu Xiongying put aside, and taught, "Dasun, don't underestimate these grains. !"

"Back then, if you had boiled this small handful of wheat into rice soup, your grandpa and grandma wouldn't have starved to death! Don't forget your roots, you know?"

"Grandson will always remember the teachings of Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Xiongying said solemnly, "Grandpa Huang, this year we will pay homage to the ancestral mausoleum and bring grandson with us!"

"Okay!" The old man thought about it, and looked at Zhu Xiongying after sitting down, "Years ago, we, your father, your boy, we three returned to Fengyang. Firstly, it was to add new soil to the ancestor's grave, and secondly, Let me show you the land of our hometown!"

With that said, the old man took a big sip from the tea bowl and ate another sesame snack.

When he eats the snack, he uses one hand to cover it, and when the snack goes into his stomach, he also throws the residue on his hand into his mouth.

"When the time comes, let Bao'er go too!" Empress Ma laughed while pouring hot tea.

The Bao'er she was talking about was the old man's nephew, now Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong.

"Of course he wants to go back, it's his grandfather's grave, so of course he's going to kowtow!" The old man laughed, but suddenly frowned, "Oh, no, we are the emperor now, so we will go back suddenly, although the road is not very far, But the officials and people along the way have to receive them. There must be a lot of fighting in Fengyang, and they have to spend more money!"

"How about this, Grandpa Huang, you leave your father in charge of the country, we two and Uncle Wen Zhong ride horses, go straight to Fengyang, isn't it good to visit privately in micro-services?"

Zhu Xiongying originally said it as a joke, but the old man thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Okay!"

At this time, Empress Ma hesitated and said suddenly, "Chongba, if you go back to your hometown Fengyang, go and see Tie Zhu! See if he has changed!"

Suddenly, the smile on the old man's face disappeared.

Even Zhu Xiongying sighed unconsciously.

The Tie Zhu mentioned by Empress Ma was named Zhu Shouqian, and he was the nephew of the old man and Empress Ma.His biological father is famous in history, the creator of Hongdu's miracle, the old man's nephew, Zhu Wenzheng.

When the old man rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, all the elder brothers had no descendants. Only the elder brother Zhu Xinglong, the king of Nanchang, had a son, Zhu Wenzheng.In the troubled times, Wen Zheng and Bao'er came together with the old man's brother-in-law.

If the old man regarded Li Wenzhong as his son, then he regarded Zhu Wenzheng as his son.Empress Ma loves her even more, and takes care of food and daily life with her own hands.

After Zhu Wenzheng grew up, he lived up to the upbringing of the two. He became famous in the first battle, and his prestige in the army grew day by day.

According to historical records, it was precisely because of the unfair rewards and punishments of the old man that Zhu Wen wanted to join Zhang Shicheng.But as the grandson of Huang Ming, Zhu Xiongying knew the inside story.

At that time, there were three pillars in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Youliang, the old man, and Zhang Shicheng.

Zhu Wenzheng defended Hongdu to defeat Chen Youliang's 60 troops. He didn't even pay attention to Chen Youliang.

Besides, he is the old man's nephew, if he went to Zhang Shicheng's side, how could he surpass this side?

The truth is, the bad thing is that he has military achievements, has prestige in the army, has the support of the generals, and has crooked thoughts.

This crooked thinking is not a betrayal of Zhang Shicheng.

Rather, Zhu Biao was young at the time, and Zhu Wenzheng had the idea of ​​replacing him.His surname is also Zhu, he has already proved his talent, why can't he inherit his uncle's inheritance?

That's why the old man killed him.

But even though he got rid of him, the old man treated Zhu Wenzheng's son, Zhu Shouqian, very kindly.It may be because the guilt and love for his nephew have been transferred to this grandnephew named Tie Zhu.

When Zhu Wenzheng was deposed, Tie Zhu was already sensible. The old man hugged him and told him with tears in his eyes, don't be afraid, your father is not sensible and has forgotten his roots.When you grow up in the future, don't be like your father, I will give you a title, and you must be a virtuous and kind person.

She was raised in the palace and asked to be taught by a master. Empress Ma felt that she did not teach Zhu Wenzheng well in her early years, which led to this.Therefore, he is even more concerned about this nephew.From my experience, when Zhu Shouqian, his grandnephew, was in the palace, the other vassal kings would give him three points.

In the third year of Hongwu's reign as King of Jingjiang, he should have become a vassal early, but he was reluctant to part with Empress Ma, so he insisted on staying until the ninth year of Hongwu.

He walked to Changsha on the way to Fanfan, and wrote letters to the old man and the old lady, which caused the two old men to burst into tears.

The old man personally decreed, "Shouqian is not yet strong, but he still has a childlike innocence. Since he left the southwest of the town, the only minister of civil and military affairs is Lai.

If you and others say that keeping modesty is what you can do, and you don't plan with others, and you don't guide them with reason, you are not a sage or gentleman.

It is advisable to learn from him and lure him to do good.If there is any disobedience, you must calmly open up the metaphor and strive to achieve your virtue.Keep modest and young, and those who I ordered them to do, because those who are protected are Erwen and military officials.You wait for it to honor my order and not neglect it.

Who would have thought that Zhu Shouqian would change completely once he arrived in the fiefdom.

It was said earlier that the second king of Qin and Jin made the old man furious, so what he did is simply beyond description.

His fiefdom is in Guilin, which is a heavy formation in the southwest.He started as a feudal clan at the age of ten, and in the past few years in the fiefdom, the troubles have reached the point where the Cantonese want to rebel.

The crimes are too numerous to describe, such as extravagant indulgence, plundering and killing innocent people, being silent on property, plundering and extorting money, ordering harshly, and the army and the people complaining.

Therefore, the old man was furious and banned him in Fengyang Central Capital.

At this moment today, Empress Ma brought it up again, and the old man's expression became complicated.

They are all old, and what they value most is nothing more than blood and family.

"Okay, let's see if that bastard has changed it!"
