"Imperial Grandfather, you haven't had your meal yet, Sun'er specially had someone cook a bowl of hot noodle soup!"
Zhu Yunzhi carefully held the hot soup noodles and slowly came in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Under the candlelight, the latter hid his face in the darkness and wiped it twice with his large hands that were pale with old man spots.
"How do you know we haven't eaten?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bowl of noodles and said quietly.
"Grandson thought that you definitely can't eat today!"
Zhu Yunzhang used his chopsticks to turn over the noodles, the heat and aroma suddenly hit his nose, "In the morning you came for a visit, and then you have to go back to deal with the political affairs, the mess that our Ming Dynasty has taken over from the hands of the Mongol Yuan is pressed on the Royal Grandfather." Saying this, Zhu Yunzhang pushed down the bowl, "When father was alive, he would sigh every night, saying that Imperial Grandfather worked too hard!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes soured, almost shedding tears again.
Good child! What a good boy! Among these grandchildren of his own, there has not been a child with such a clear mind!
This day, what can I eat?
The Ming Dynasty is still in the process of development, they dare to have a hint of slackness?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang revealed some smiles, "Serve it down, we're not hungry!"
"Eat some even if you're not hungry!" Zhu Yunzhang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said sincerely, "In the morning, you and my grandson said that it is true filial piety to love and cherish yourself and live well! Your loving your body and living well is also the greatest favor to our children and grandchildren!"
Saying this, Zhu Yunyun took out another pair of chopsticks and choked, "Father's casket is here, his spirit is still alive, seeing that our masters and grandfathers can eat and drink, I think it will also be comforted!"
"son!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion, "You have really grown up!"
He said, rolled up his sleeves and smiled forcibly, "Zhong, let's eat this bowl of noodles together, let's both take care of our bodies and live well!"
This bowl of noodles is really Zhu Yunzhang let people do, Zhu Yuanzhang came from a poor background, eat like to eat ginger and garlic such a flavorful things, said it is under the rice.
The heat of the hot noodle soup enveloped the faces of the grandfather and grandson.
Eating, both feel eyes a little hot, can not wipe their eyes.
The deceased has gone, but the living still have to live. Grief can only make the souls in the sky go unsettled, etiquette is for the living, but sincerity and heart, is for the deceased to see.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Zhu Yun Yun picked up the bowl and gulped down the hot soup, then used his chopsticks to rattle a few times, taking the dregs of ginger and garlic inside, and sending them to his mouth as well.
"Why did you eat all the dregs?" Zhu Yuanzhang casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Not full? Not full go down and eat!"
Zhu Yunzhang put down his bowl and followed his grandfather's example, also wiping his mouth with his sleeve, "A porridge and a meal, when thinking about the hard work. Half a thread and a half a wisp, always remember that things are difficult!" Saying this, he started to clean up the dishes, "Father used to always teach my grandson that it is not easy for the people of the world to feed us, so we should cherish the food and cherish the people's energy."
Picking up the bowl, Zhu Yun Yun smiled bitterly, "But Sun's stubbornness, every meal requires six dishes and one soup, so extravagant and wasteful, Sun's son is really the Zhu family's number one asshole!"
"Wait!" Just as Zhu Yunzhang turned around, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly called him back thoughtfully, "A porridge and a meal is not easy to come by, half a thread and half a strand, always remembering that things are hard to come by!" After reading a sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up, "Where did you learn this?"
At this time, there is no Zhu Zi family training?
Zhu Yunzhang's words really spoke to Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.
He was born in a poor family, his grandparents are honest farmers, but diligently planted a year, but even a decent meal can not eat, if there are natural disasters but also the whole family starvation, go out to escape from all the stares.
From the peasant boy to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the people hard Zhu Yuanzhang never forget. And as an emperor, under the etiquette is inevitable waste, but there is nothing to be done.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
This simple sentence, said all the human king, should have the integrity and this.
Zhu Yunyun's mind turned, and said with a straight face, "Sun's son is feeling it!"
"You .... Come here, come to us!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say so, Zhu Yunzhang put down his bowls and chopsticks and squatted in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's body to look up.
"Son, you tell us, that stupid and stubborn look in the past, was it a fake?" In the dimly lit hall, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were frighteningly bright, as if looking into Zhu Yunzhang's heart.
Zhu Yunzhang lowered his head and whispered, "Yes!"
"For what?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly increased his voice.
"Grandson!" Zhu Yunzhang raised his head once again, tears once again flashing in his eyes, "Sun'er is afraid!"
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked loudly.
Subsequently, there was no need for Zhu Yunzhang to answer, he already understood.
What can you be afraid of? Hiding!
A first son, a motherless first son, in the deep palace without brothers, without mother care, how to live this life?
Bad in he is a first son on, bad in his identity on the bad, the deep palace do not know how many pairs of eyes in the dark look at him, waiting to count him, he is a teenager if not careful, all the sharpness are hidden, is bound to become a thorn in the side of other people's eyes.
He is the first son of the crown prince, the emperor's first grandson!
However, immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart gave birth to a slight annoyance.
"You bastard, you deserve to be beaten!" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his palm, but held it back, pointing at Zhu Yunzhang, "Your old man is the crown prince, your grandfather is the emperor, who do you have to be afraid of? You don't need to be afraid of anyone, do you have any grievances that you won't talk to us about? Are you not afraid now?"
"Grandson deserves a beating!" Zhu Yunyun suddenly gave himself a slap, extremely loud, "Sun'er is the biggest fool under this heaven! Sun'er has failed his father, and he has also failed his Imperial Grandfather. As a son of man, not being able to be sincere is the greatest unfiliality. As the grandson of the Emperor, it is unfaithful to fail to share his father's worries with the Emperor's grandfather! Grandson, for the sake of his own little ridiculous small mind, even did not loyal and filial person!"
Seeing Zhu Yunzhang in front of him speaking clearly and quoting scriptures, the irritation in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart turned into pity and remorse again.
I should have seen this child earlier, only fourteen years old, there is such patience, such a plan. So knowledgeable, so intelligent. He said these words, even if it is a well-read person, may not be able to say.
What a good seedling! Just based on the saying that a porridge and a meal should be thought of as hard to come by, this child is my Zhu family's thousand mile colt!
Only to see Zhu Yunzhang wipe his eyes and look at Zhu Yuanzhang with a resolute face, he opened his mouth and said, "Imperial Grandfather, Sun's son is not afraid now!
"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"There are two mountains behind Sun'er, one is father and one is you!" Zhu Yunzhang slowly said, "Father is gone, only you are left, Sun'er has already failed father, he cannot fail you again!" Saying that, a never before seen fortitude blossomed on his face.
For a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see himself who had just ascended the throne as emperor.
"I am your first grandson, the first son of the Crown Prince of Daming, if I am to remain muddled, if I am to be afraid of even these little tricks in the deep palace. If I were to be a stubborn and stupid male child again, if I were to be too timid to show myself."
"I, then, would not be worthy of being your Emperor Ming's first grandson, much less worthy of this Zhu character!"
"Good boy!" Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand pressed on Zhu Yunzhang's shoulder, his face finally reveals a trace of real smile, "A good man should be spirited, you are now like our good grandson!" Said, looking back at the coffin lying quietly in the middle of the hall, "Only your father's good son!"
Outside Feng An Hall, Lu looked inside anxiously, but did not dare to go forward.
Just now, the Sister came to report that Zhu Yun Yun went in with a bowl of noodles.
The emperor was in a time of grief and did not want to be disturbed. Wouldn't he be making a fool of himself by going in?
Who knows, he didn't come out after he went in, while there had been faint sounds of talking coming out of the hall.
What was he saying to the emperor? What was the emperor saying to him? Why had they been talking for so long?
It was as if there was a stone pressed in Lu's heart, blocking her breath.
"The emperor's love for that kid today, the first of all the princes' royal sons and grandsons. What's wrong with this kid that he can make the emperor treat him so well?"
Thinking of this, Lu looked at Zhu Yunzhu beside her who was also looking into the hall.
"Son, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Yunzhu still looked over there, "Son is thinking, was Lao San pretending before?"
A single word woke up the dreamer! Lu was suddenly somewhat awakened and immediately somewhat wary.
Lao San, in the past, must have been pretending, otherwise how would he suddenly change like a different person!
Why did he pretend?
Could it be that he has been guarding against us?
If that's the case, I'm afraid that we will fall into the reputation of a jealous woman with the Emperor!
Thinking about the Emperor's nature, if he really recognized him as a jealous woman, then the son's future?
"Son, your royal grandfather stayed inside for so long, maybe he's thirsty!" Lu tensed her face and said, "Bring a cup of hot tea in, please warm up your Imperial Grandfather!" Saying that, Lu moved closer and lowered her voice, "Go in and you'll cry ......"
She was talking, Zhu Yunzhu was listening carefully.
But as she was speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was already being assisted by Zhu Yunzhu, slowly coming out.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Imperial Grandfather!"
The people outside the hall hurriedly saluted, and when Lu looked down, she saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's face was surprisingly much less sad, while Zhu Yunzhi was still expressionless, unable to see the color of his face.
"Hmph!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to the kneeling people and turned back to Zhu Yunzhang, "Your body is weak, you should know how to love it! It's good to do filial piety for your father, but to really make yourself sick is also unfilial!"
"Grandson honors the teachings of Imperial Grandfather!"
"After the funeral, go to the university hall to study, we will find you some good masters!" Zhu Yuanzhang had a stern look on his face, "Strict masters produce good students, let's see if you still pretend in the future!"
"My grandson will not fail my grandfather again!"
In the early Ming Dynasty, the University Hall, equal to the Qing Dynasty's Shangshu Room, was a place for the royal children and grandchildren to study.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang is not of high birth, but attaches great importance to the education of his children and grandchildren, when Zhu Biao was the crown prince, he invited the famous great scholars, such as Song Lian, to be his teacher.
"Go back, let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang commanded, striding forward.
Somehow, when passing by Lu's side, Lu felt that the emperor's gaze was a bit grim, and immediately chilled her heart.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
However, amidst the bowing of the crowd, Zhu Yuanzhang's figure suddenly stopped.
Turning back, he solemnly looked at Zhu Yunzhang and spoke, "Pass the decree!"
As soon as his words fell, the personal scribe in the emperor's retinue, bowed over and listened to the holy orders carefully recorded.
"Zhu Yun, the crown prince's first son, my first grandson. Character noble, deeply like my bow, talented, erudite, sincere and filial, strong and resolute."
Said Zhu Yuanzhang paused, "Seal, Zhu Yunzhang as King of Wu!"
"I thank the Lord for his great honor!"
When the crowd secretly exclaimed in their hearts, Zhu Yunzhang had already knelt down and thanked him with the courtesy of a ruler and a courtier.
Looking at his unassuming, mature and steady appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded once again.
At a young age, he does not take things for granted, he is able to keep his composure and has great potential!
He is unaware that at this moment, Zhu Yunzhang's heart is already boiling.
If not for his best efforts to control, the muscles in his body may be trembling.
Wu, the state number of the Ming Dynasty before Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne. For the Ming dynasty, Zhu family, has great meaning.
Among the kings of Daming, the most distinguished.
Now, this crown that countless people covet, fell on Zhu Yun Yun's head.
"King Wu, just the beginning!"
Zhu Yunyun said to himself in his heart.
