Chapter 29 Lao Zhu’s shame!

Overall, Zhu Jun is quite satisfied with his layout this time.

Everything is within control.

After figuring out the reason for the collapse of the tomb, they tricked Zhu Di and successfully brought the Xu family into the game.

Now the father-son relationship with Lao Zhu has been further eased.

The most important thing is that he already knows who is harming him.

Entering the Fengtian Hall, the imperial doctor bandaged Zhu Jun and said, "Your Highness, it hurts a bit, please bear with it!"

Zhu Jun's face turned green with pain, but he said: "I have thick skin and I'm not afraid of pain!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also shook his head.

This brat is still as tough-talking as before!

For a long time, Zhu Jun's hands were smeared with sticky plaster, and his hands were wrapped into rice dumplings.

"Thank you, doctor!"

"Your Highness, you are so polite!" The imperial doctor looked like he had seen a ghost. When did Madman Zhu become so polite?

"Go down." Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the imperial doctor and immediately called Zhu Jun in front of him, "Who taught you to worship the ancestors of the Xu family?"

Zhu Jun knew that Lao Zhu would ask, so he said the response he had been thinking about all along, "No one, I just felt uncomfortable, so I went.

It is uncomfortable for living people to live in a dilapidated house, let alone the dead.

If it rains and pours water, won't they be flooded?

When the time comes when the ancestors of the Xu family blame me in their dreams, I will not dare to sleep at night!"

Hearing Zhu Jun's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, "You brat, your words are rough and your reasoning is not rough, that's the truth!"

Zhu Jun chuckled, "So after thinking about it, I went to offer incense and apologize, and then I thought about repairing the 'home' of the ancestors of the Xu family, and shoveling out the rubble that fell in their 'home'!"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt even more satisfied, "It's not scary if you do something wrong. What's scary is that you don't change your mind."

Zhu Jun followed his words, "Yes, my eldest brother often told me that, so I thought about it and decided to repair their home.

However, the tomb that my father-in-law built for my ancestors was too shabby. The concrete blocks would fall down whenever I pulled them.

Just take a sip and it turns into powder. Let alone standing for hundreds of years, it will probably collapse in three or two years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang grasped the key point of Zhu Jun's words, "That is concrete poured with glutinous rice juice. How can it be so brittle?"

"Father, don't believe me? Wait, you'll know after you read it!" He said, jumped a little, and then started digging around in his clothes. He then took out a piece of concrete and handed it over, "That's it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, "Did you bring this out of the tomb?"

"That's right, I originally wanted to tell my father-in-law to be more careful, but my father called me into the palace!" Zhu Jun said with a bitter face.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind the bad luck. He took the concrete in Zhu Jun's hand and broke it gently. With a little force, it was crushed into powder.

A cold look flashed in his eyes, "Are you sure you took it from the tomb?"

"There is definitely nothing wrong. If your father doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate.

The quality of the project is so bad, my father-in-law is really careless.

If you build such a poor house for your ancestors, you won't be afraid of the dreams of your ancestors!" Zhu Jun said indignantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes. Zhu Jun would definitely not tell such a lie that could be exposed immediately. If it was true as Zhu Jun said, then the problem lies in the tomb itself.

A grave of this quality will collapse even if you stand on it, let alone digging it.

Zhu Jun only needed to bypass the guard and stand there, without helpers or even tools, to collapse the top of the coupon.

But how does he know which area has problems?

He didn't build that tomb.

Seeing that Zhu Jun was still talking about the poor quality of the tomb, Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless. This crazy boy didn't know that he had accidentally discovered the most important clue.

The ancestral tomb was moved from Huaixi in recent years. Xu Jinda himself said that the concrete used was so thick that even a sledgehammer could not break it open.

It's impossible for the quality to be bad, and the craftsmen don't have the courage to tamper with it.

Therefore, someone must have tampered with the tomb in advance.

But he couldn't listen to Zhu Jun's words. He handed the concrete in his hand to Wang Gou'er, his personal eunuch, "Give this to Mr. Yang, and let Mr. Yang place a stick of incense for the ancestors of the Xu family on our behalf. Although we have to move the tombs,

It’s on hold, but the gap still needs to be filled!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Gouer understood, wrapped the concrete in a handkerchief and left in a hurry.

"Okay, stop nagging." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you do anything harmful to God in the future, we will definitely not be able to spare you!"

Zhu Jun shrank his neck and said, "I don't dare anymore."

Immediately he knelt on the ground and used his other hand to knock Zhu Yuanzhang's leg, "Dad, don't be angry, my son has realized his mistake!"

Seeing that he had changed his title, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "You don't know when your madness will get better. If there hadn't been a battle at Boyang Lake, you wouldn't be like this.

I'm afraid I will lead the army to protect the border like your other brothers!"

The Battle of Boyang Lake?

Zhu Jun's face was full of confusion and he couldn't remember what happened.

"Dad, what happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth, "When we fought with Chen Han at Boyang Lake, your father and I fell into the trap and were slightly defeated by Chen Han.

It was during that water fight that you injured your head, which caused you to go crazy and sober sometimes."

When he said this, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

After all, he, as a father, failed to protect his children.

The former Zhu Jun not only looked like him, but also had almost the same temperament as him.

He is an excellent child.

Eleven years have passed now, and Zhu Jun has reached the age of reaching the crown.

Because of his deviance, the ministers in the court were disgusted with him, and no one even wanted to come forward to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for him.

Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.

He helped Zhu Jun up and looked at his son who was very similar to him when he was young, even more like him than his elder brother.

"Really? Why can't I remember anything?" Zhu Jun patted his head, "This dog's memory is so forgetful!"

Seeing Zhu Jun's troubled face, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the ridiculous thing about him offering a reward for clues to his whereabouts in the capital.

"Could it be that he really can't remember? Or has someone tampered with it?" Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his mind, and immediately said to Zhu Jun: "Okay, change your clothes and have a meal with us here at noon!"

The last time I had dinner with Zhu Jun was eight years ago.

"Yes, Dad!" Zhu Jun's face showed a hint of hope, but his eyes also showed a hint of fear for his father.

Soon, he changed into clean and neat clothes.

Four dishes and one soup were placed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. They were not delicacies. He was born with mud legs.

Even when he became an emperor, he was still diligent and frugal. When his clothes were torn, he would be sewn and mended over and over again.

Even the quilts were sewn by Empress Ma using scraps of clothing.
