"Third Master, are you okay?" Fu Youde and Feng Sheng both looked concerned.
Almost all of these veterans watched Zhu Yunxi's father, Zhu Biao, grow up, and in their hearts they regarded Zhu Biao as a junior.
He also regarded Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Biao's legitimate son, as a junior.
Zhu Yunxi raised his head and said, "Thank you, the two princes, I am thinking of you and you are all right!" Although there were no words of affection on his lips, the gratitude and gratitude in his eyes were beyond words.
These veterans watched his father grow up. In the years before the Ming Empire was established, Zhu Yunxi's father, Zhu Biao, sat on the horses of these people and witnessed the great martial arts of the Ming Dynasty. It was also under the care of these people. Gradually he grew into a qualified and unshakable prince.
These people loved Zhu Biao as much as they loved the house. This love naturally transferred to Zhu Biao's legitimate son Zhu Yunxi after Zhu Biao's death. As for Zhu Yunwen, he is probably just an ordinary bastard in their eyes at this moment. With Zhu Yunxi, the legitimate son of the Ming Dynasty royal family and the nobles of Huaixi, and Zhu Yunwen, a bastard with a low family background, can they like him?
Just after he said a few words, Zhu Yunxi saw from the corner of his eye that someone else was coming. They were all nobles walking in a hurry, and they were all generals of the Huaixi Group who founded the country. Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, He Rong, the Bo of Dongguan, and the Liao family of the Duke of Chu.
"No!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly woke up, "The tree is big and attracts the wind. It's okay for me to say a few words to my uncle, but these generals and descendants of the founding of the Ming Dynasty are all gathered around. If you are not careful, others will speak out!" 𝙈.𝕍𝕆𝓓𝙩𝓦. 𝘾🅾𝕄
Walking in the deep palace is difficult and frightening at every step, so don't be careless. So he apologized, hugged the two girls, and walked into Feng'an Hall.
"Hey, why is the third master gone! I haven't kowtowed to him yet?"
Several military generals hurriedly hurried away, but still only saw Zhu Yunxi's back. Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, said loudly.
"Keep your voice down!" Fu Youde said calmly, "Today, we all have to restrain our loud voices!"
General Lan Yu looked at the people crying in Feng'an Palace, frowned and said, "The third master has had no mother since he was a child, and now he has no father. He is still young, and there are countless people in the deep palace compound who are planning to plot against him!" He said, already gritting his teeth, "Although the Crown Prince is gone, we people, deeply owed by the Crown Prince, must take good care of the only bloodline he left behind!"
"You can say this as a general!" Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, choked up. "In the eighteenth and twentieth years of Hongwu, I broke the law twice. If the prince hadn't protected me, I would have been beheaded. The prince would have been beheaded." Now I listen to the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince is gone, I will listen to the Third Master."
Dongguan Bo He Rong also said, "Without the Crown Prince, how would I have the title on my head! The Crown Prince has left, and I will follow the Third Master with all my heart. If Long Live Lord has the grace, let the Third Master become a feudal lord. I'm such a bird. The earl doesn’t want to do anything anymore, and he will become a gatekeeper with the third master, as a way of repaying the prince’s kindness!”
Throughout the past five thousand years, Zhu Biao was not only the most stable prince, but also the most popular prince. Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad temper, and the people who followed him to conquer the country were all rough men, so they would inevitably offend him sometimes. Every time, it was Zhu Biao who resolved the situation and saved many people.
Especially those warriors. Warriors are not afraid of death when fighting, but they will inevitably cause trouble as long as they are idle.
Military generals like Dongguan Bo He Rong and others did not even look down upon Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong and others in the past. They often scolded their mothers, and when provoked, they rushed directly into other people's mansions with swords.
If Prince Zhu Biao hadn't favored them for their military exploits and begged for mercy many times, he would have been slaughtered by Emperor Hongwu to sacrifice the flag.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi only knew that he had a noble status, but he had not yet figured out how many valuable political legacies and connections his father, the prince, had left for him.
There was a lot of crying in Fengan Palace. As soon as they entered the main hall, a palace official came forward to pick up the two little girls. As soon as Zhu Yunxi came in, he became the focus of everyone in the palace.
Especially Mrs. Lu, Zhu Yunxi could clearly see that Mrs. Lu kept looking at him while wiping her tears, and the worry and alertness in her eyes were clear.
She walked past with Zhu Yunwen, and no one paid attention to their mother and son. Even if they did, it would still be a grand courtesy. When Zhu Yunxi passed by, the veterans who founded the country gathered around and asked about his welfare.
Zhu Yunxi turned back again and glanced outside the hall. The blue jade in the spring rain, his two uncles, and the founding military generals of Huaixi were all looking in the rain. As if aware of his gaze, several people waved their hands gently.
But at this moment, Zhu Yunxi remembered something.
It is now the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, General Lan Yu will be sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang. There were also many military commanders and heroes who founded the country. According to historical records, numerous Dukes and Princes were killed. According to statistics, the number of people was as high as 15,000.
This must include those outside the palace, including his uncle.
Why did Zhu Yuanzhang kill so many people?
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunwen who was kneeling there and crying.
In the final analysis, it was for the sake of his grandson's throne. Just now I heard that Lan Yu and others seemed to sneer at Zhu Yunwen. And with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, since these people can't help his grandson, he might as well kill them to the end to avoid future troubles.
Was it wrong to kill? With the mentality of an emperor, there is nothing wrong. Since these unruly warriors cannot be loyal to their grandson, keeping them will be a disaster. Who knows whether these people will bring chaos to the Ming Dynasty under the banner of being orthodox to the Ming Dynasty.
But it was definitely a pity to kill him, so that when Zhu Di rebelled later, Emperor Jianwen had no generals who could lead the army. There were no generals in the Ming Dynasty, so a idiot like Li Jinglong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army. As a result, Li Jinglong was beaten so badly by his cousin Zhu Di that he fled.
The most ridiculous thing is that Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen not only did not pursue Li Jinglong, but also protected him.
What did this support bring? When Zhu Di attacked Nanjing, Li Jinglong surrendered and opened the city gate.
The hereditary generals and nobles who had always been guarded by Emperor Jianwen died in countless battles for the sake of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty.
Throughout the history books, these Huaixi warriors from humble backgrounds have left their heroic deeds in history.
Let’s not mention it for the moment, Liang Guogong Lan Yu was so powerful that he almost captured the Mongol emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty alive. Captured the prince's concubines, princesses, and thousands of princes and ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
They captured 77,000 Meng Yuan soldiers, as well as precious seals, talismans, gold and silver seals and other items, and more than 150,000 horses, camels, cattle, and sheep. His illustrious military exploits were comparable to those of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and he wiped away the image of Han men who had been weak for hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty.
This even surpassed Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's achievements to some extent. The powerful Bei Yuan was defeated by Lan Yu and others' attacks. The last fig leaf of the Golden Family was lifted by the son of the Han family.
"If I take the position, these people may not have to die, and maybe they can shine even brighter!"
Zhu Yunxi thought to himself that these people did not die under the enemy's scimitar, but died in the internal fighting in the court, which can't help but make people sigh.
"Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
The heartbreaking cries in Fengan Hall interrupted Zhu Yunxi's contemplation. The huge coffin was placed in Fengan Hall. The heroic face in the coffin was his father in this life.
Looking at the body for a moment, suddenly, sadness came over Zhu Yunxi like a tide.
"Dad!" No need for ginger, tears burst out, and he knelt on his knees in pain.
It was not a show, but in an instant, Zhu Yunxi thought of his parents and himself.
The most painful thing in the world is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person away.
He was also an only child, and his parents worked hard to raise him to the age where he could start a family and start a business. However, a car accident destroyed the whole family.
Are your parents also crying in front of your soul at this moment?
Are your relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms, and classmates also grieving?
I think of my parents’ faintly white temples and their increasingly aging faces.
"father!"
"mother!"
"My son is unfilial!" Zhu Yunxi burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly.
What he was knocking was not the Ming Prince in the coffin, but his parents who were helpless after losing him in the future.
The more I thought about it, the sadder I became. In order to make a living, I went out early and came back late. I didn't have time to spend time with my parents, and I didn't even notice that they were already old. I always feel very tired, but I ignore their caring glances.
What they care about is not how much money they make! But I want to live a healthy and happy life.
What they picture is not their own bright future! Instead, I think about a happy family, full of children and grandchildren.
"Dad, Mom!" Zhu Yunxi kowtowed and cried in his heart, "I will live well, happily, and healthily in this world. Please bless me. If there is another life, I will be your son again. I will be filial to you!"
"Father, mother, farewell!"
Tears kept falling on Zhu Yunxi's face like a bursting flood, instantly wetting his clothes and sleeves.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Zhu Yuanzhang is here.
