Chapter 65: Childhood
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was changing clothes and traveling casually, the eunuch Liu He, the chief eunuch in charge of the Sili, came to report.
"Your Majesty, Jiangxiahou has arrived, I specially asked you to see you."
Hearing this name, a trace of coldness flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
He originally felt a little sorry for this old brother, after all, his eldest grandson killed his son.
At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Zhou Dexing as Jiangxiahou, suppressed Fujian, trained more than 100,000 militiamen, built sixteen cities to fight against Japanese pirates.
Now, the news from Dasun has been gaining, the sixteen coastal cities that are as solid as Zhu Yuanzhang's heart have actually become a paradise for Japanese pirates and smugglers.
If this old man was not involved, who would believe it?
"We have been old brothers for many years. Your son made a mistake and you made a mistake. Let's give you decent credit for your contribution."
"I passed on our order, the son of Jiangxiahou Zhou Dexing, was in trouble in the palace. Jiangxiahou had no choice but to educate his son. The so-called "to raise a man but not to teach him" was the fault of his father. The title of Jiangxiahou was taken back and his fief was given to death."
"As for his family, let's go with him. As Dasun said, the family must be neatly arranged to be decent."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, he always attached great importance to this brother who was with him to conquer the world.
Zhou Dexing was also happy for his son when he was old.
But unexpectedly, the world was defeated, but my mind changed.
"We believe you so much, but you are secretly hiding the same interests as the Japanese pirates. What a huge benefit, you are so confused by the old man. It really disappoints us."
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he didn't want to see Zhou Dexing again, so he left directly with Jiang Yan.
In fact, even without the matter of Dasun and Zhou Ji, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely afraid of Zhou Dexing.
As of now, Zhou Dexing is the one with the most contributions among all the generals.
Moreover, Zhou Dexing and Zhu Yuanzhang knew each other since childhood and were villagers from the same village. They had a good relationship when they were young. When Zhu Yuanzhang rebelled, Zhou Dexing followed immediately.
The key problem is that Zhou Dexing is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's body, and he is very tough and has been fighting in the south and north for many years, but he is still in good spirits.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been worried that he would not survive him. Now that he is better, there is no need to think too much. As for the secret communication with Japanese pirates, there is no need to care too much, it is considered to be a decent person.
Zhou Dexing, who was still waiting for the news of His Majesty's summoning, never expected that he would be the Imperial Guard in the Palace.
Even he was thinking that when he arrived in the capital, he heard that his son was missing. He was planning to report this matter to His Majesty.
He knew that there was nothing in the capital that could be hidden from His Majesty, so he wanted to use the power of the Jinyiwei to investigate the situation of his son.
Zhou Ji's name is the old horse who is in the stable. Zhou Dexing, who has a son in his old age, is extremely doting on his son.
Now that he is missing, he is particularly nervous.
But when he heard the footsteps of the gathering of the guards outside the hall, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
.........
When Zhu Yuanzhang came to the yard, Zhu An was in the teahouse.
Mr. Zhang came to inform him before returning.
"Old man, why is it so time now? I'm still here." Zhu An was a little surprised. This was the first time that the old man came to him at about dinner.
I always came here in the morning before.
Even though the coastal period is a bit tricky, it is not something that can be handled in one day.
"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days. We miss you, Dasun, can't you come to see you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
At the moment when I saw the eldest grandson, all my fatigue seemed to have disappeared. This feeling can only be understood when I am a father or a grandfather.
It seems that all hard work has the goal of striving for it.
"How could it be? I just feel a little strange. I haven't had supper yet, so I just ate it together."
"I happened to brew some fruit wine recently. Our master brewed a glass of wine. Speaking of which, I haven't even drunk wine with the old man." Zhu An said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
In the drinking regulations, including the Guanglu Temple's meals, wine is not allowed to appear.
Zhu Yuanzhang also strictly took the lead in implementing this regulation.
It's dinner now, so of course it's possible. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he could drink with his grandson, he was very happy.
"Okay, okay, our grandfather and grandson, we will definitely drink him tonight before we can stop drunk." Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.
"What are you talking about? Although fruit wine is good, you can't drink it. That thing has a strong potential. It's good to drink occasionally. If you drink too much, it will affect your health."
After saying that, he said to the old man: "It's a bit cold this time. Please ask Brother Jiang to come in and eat together. What can happen in the yard?"
On this side of the yard, when there were no outsiders, Jiang Yan usually guarded the outside of the yard.
This is to facilitate the happy and detailed discussion between Your Majesty and Dasun, and it also means avoiding suspicion.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
He is more optimistic about Dasun's character.
It is natural that Jiang Yan can be Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard, in terms of loyalty and trust.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, it was also an excellent thing for Dasun to be close to his personal guard leader.
"Okay, then follow the eldest grandson and let this kid come in and have a hot meal." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
The weather in July feels like the New Year. Although it has not reached the level of burning fire, the wind has become a little cold.
After Jiang Yan got the news, he looked at Zhu An with joy.
He knew that he had been accepted by Zhu An.
This made him realize that his destination in the future should be good.
Even if Zhu An asked him to take a seat, only half of Jiang Yan's butt fell on the seat to show respect.
He knew in his heart that the old and the young sitting in front of him.
One is the master of the Ming Dynasty today, and the other is the future master of the Ming Dynasty.
Being able to eat together is a supreme honor for Jiang Yan.
"Old man, the first time I have dinner, we have a good meal. It just so happened that a lamb came over me. The weather is very cold today."
"We are going to have a hot pot of mutton hotpot today." Zhu An said with a smile.
This mutton hotpot originated in the previous dynasty and was extremely popular in the north.
However, the hot pot nowadays lacks a lot of seasonings, and the taste can be imagined.
Zhuan is delicious and has a lot of seasonings in his hand. Some of them are not available, so he also gets them from the Western Regions to grow them.
After some research, the hot pot base of later generations was found to be roughly found.
Zhu An can guarantee that the taste of this hot pot is something the old man has never tried.
Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't think much about it. He who owned the world had never eaten anything.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely economical, there was no such thing as "four dishes and one soup" for meals.
Traditional Chinese medicine is still extremely prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of health preservation, the imperial physicians personally participated in the Guanglu Temple’s meal program.
Otherwise, if you eat vegetarian food every time, how could Zhu Yuanzhang get a little fat today?
After instructing Mr. Zhang to prepare, during this waiting time, Zhu An saw that it was dark, he smiled at the old man and said:
"Old man, this is the time. If nothing big happens, you will sleep here tonight after dinner."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously very moved.
Thinking of staying with Dasun for one night, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered when Dasun was a child.
‘At that time, I was only three years old, and my grandson liked to sleep with us the most.’
Just like an ordinary family, children like to sleep with their grandparents, and Zhu Xiongying was no exception when she was a child.
Zhu Xiongying was taken by Empress Ma every day because Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with government affairs and could not see anyone during the day.
As soon as it came, Zhu Xiongying clamored for his grandfather.
Thinking of such little past events, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help but become a little wet.
"Okay, okay, let's sleep with Dasun tonight."
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was a little choked, and he added in his heart: "Just like you did when you were a child."
