"It's really our grandson."

Late at night, Zhu Yuanzhang's hands trembled with the secret letter in the Ming Dynasty Palace. This was excitement and joy.

The secret letters were filled with the results of the investigation of Zhu An by Jinyiwei.

There are not many records, because Zhu An’s father, as a businessman, often took Zhu An out. No matter how powerful the Ming Jinyiwei was, he would not get much information in a short period of time.

But the origin of Zhu An is very clear.

In May of the 15th year of Hongwu, Zhu's father brought back his 18-year-old child and adopted it on his own household registration.

Just this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang could be sure that he was definitely his grandson.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious by nature, so he carefully checked Zhu's father's life and tried to see if there were any clues of conspiracy.

However, he found that his ancestors had been refugees at the end of the Yuan Dynasty for several generations, and that was when Zhu Yuanzhang was the Duke of Wu and had not yet become emperor, by chance, he became a business owner.

"Although our eldest grandson has no memory, the taste in his bones is absolutely not wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully recalled that Zhu An's temperament as a scholar was definitely not cultivated by Zhu's father's small businessman.

With his very similar appearance to Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang is now completely sure that Zhu An is his eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying.

Although I don’t understand why I was resurrected from death, at this time Zhu Yuanzhang was full of tears, which were tears of joy. After ten years, the eldest son died and the eldest grandson returned.

God treats me well!

At this moment, Jiang Yan walked in.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Southwest will report urgently."

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and asked. There was nothing much worrying about the southwest where his adopted son Mu Ying was in charge.

Since three years ago, after the Dingbian Battle was a complete victory, no force in the southwest has dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Yan's face was a little hesitant, and hesitated for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "Secret report, Mr. Muying, Xiping, died of illness half a month ago."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head in disbelief and looked at Jiang Yan. His body trembled and his whole body felt like he was bolt from the blue.

"Your Majesty, please feel sorry for me!"

Jiang Yan felt something was wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang, so he quickly knelt down on one knee and said.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt much older. Just as he was about to speak, a violent cough sounded.

When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the world in his early years, he accepted more than 20 adopted sons, which was to win people's hearts and cultivate his own direct power.

Secondly, it was because he got married and had children late. When his eldest son Zhu Biao was born, he was already 28 years old. He was at a critical stage of fighting everywhere and expanding his power. If he could not borrow his son's power, he would use his adopted sons first.

Among the many adopted sons, Mu Ying is the most trusted.

This has a lot to do with Mu Ying's origin.

Mu Ying was originally an orphan. When he was eight years old, he was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang as his adopted son and changed his name to Zhu Wenying. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang had more sons, so he changed his original surname.

Unlike other adopted sons, Mu Ying was raised by Empress Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang since childhood.

Mu Ying also treated Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma as her biological parents and was extremely filial.

It is precisely because of this filial piety that he is deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Mu Ying cummed blood due to Queen Ma's death due to excessive sadness. This shows how important Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma's status were in Mu Ying's heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang had more than 20 adopted sons, almost all of whom had outstanding achievements and made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the adopted sons died in the war, and a small number of adopted sons were also present. After the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to avoid affecting the status of his eldest son Zhu Biao.

All of them were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang finding a reason.

Only Mu Ying has always been deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the winter of the 22nd year of Hongwu, Mu Ying took advantage of the New Year to come to the capital to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang gave Mu Ying a banquet at Fengtian Hall, and rewarded 200 taels of gold, 500 taels of platinum, 500 ingots of money, and 100 pieces of colorful silk.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Since Mu Ying was guarding the southwest, we have been resting on our minds."

Just this sentence shows how much Zhu Yuanzhang trusts Mu Ying.

Moreover, Mu Ying has a very good relationship with his eldest son Zhu Biao. Mu Ying holds a large army and is in the southwest. This is the powerful help Zhu Yuanzhang left to his eldest son Zhu Biao.

However, it has only been three years, so why has it gone?

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, looked a little crazy, and asked Jiang Yan sternly:

"He was fine three years ago. He ate three big bowls of rice in a row, but why did he die? Tell us what happened."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously found it difficult to accept the news of Mu Ying's death.

Because Mu Ying raised himself in his early years, Zhu Yuanzhang was not as good as his eldest son Zhu Biao, and even his other sons for Mu Ying's love.

Jiang Yan knelt on one knee, his voice tremblingly explained: "The news spread to the southwest. Xiping Hou could not bear the bad news and fainted on the ground that day."

"Then... I've been ill and passed away half a month ago."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more sad. He never expected that Mu Ying's death was because his eldest son Zhu Biao died.

"Our good son!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer help but burst into tears, and he no longer cared about his dignity as an emperor.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was not like an emperor, but more like an ordinary old man, full of the pain and sorrow of white-haired people sending black-haired people.

After experiencing the loss and regaining of Zhu An, Mu Ying's death shock came again. Under great joy and sorrow, Zhu Yuanzhang's cry suddenly stopped and he fell into a coma.

Jiang Qi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He immediately stepped forward to support Zhu Yuanzhang's tilted body, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Come on, hurry up!! Pass on the imperial physician!!!"

Jiang Yin immediately roared loudly outside the door.

............

At this moment, many veteran Huaixi in the Lan Mansion gathered together.

Even in the capital, these people are absolutely high and powerful figures. They are all important figures in the Huaixi Party and can almost influence the entire Ming Dynasty.

Needless to say, the Duke of Liang, Cao Zhen, the Duke of Jingchuan, Zhang Yi, the Duke of Heshou, Zhu Shou, Zhu Shou, the Duke of Dingyuan, Wang Bi, the Duke of Jingning, Ye Sheng, and the Bo of Dongguan.

Almost all of them are marquises, and the most solemn one is an earl.

There were also ministers in the court, Zhan Hui, Minister of Personnel, and Fu Youwen, Minister of Revenue.

These people are the absolute core personnel of Huaixi in the capital.

Of course, Huaixi Group is not only that, but more members are distributed throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Each of them has made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty today.

"Duke Liang, you also know the situation of us old guys. What big thing is that we are gathering together."

"Now the Jinyiwei is everywhere. How can we hide it from so many of us?"

After gathering, Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, and Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heshou, expressed his dissatisfaction first.

The current style of the capital is quite unfriendly to them, that is, Lan Yu, and if it were others, no one would come at all.

Lan Yu naturally knew that since Li Shanchang's death, he had restrained a lot.

But this gathering is very important in Lan Yu's opinion.

"If you knew who I saw, I wouldn't have thought so." Lan Yu said mysteriously with her face.

Everyone was confused. As Lan Yu's in-law, Ye Sheng, the Marquis of Jingning, asked, "Who is it?"

Lan Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "My nephew, the eldest son of Prince Yiwen, and Zhu Xiongying."
