The curtain at the door swayed gently in the wind. Sometimes, the thick candles in the palace would also beat a few times with the wind.
Zhu Yunxi carefully held a copper basin with just hot water in it, and slowly walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang's palace. Pu Wuyong followed quietly, carrying a copper kettle filled with hot water.
When the palace attendants around saw His Highness King Wu approaching, they respectfully opened the curtains and silently saluted, and at the same time they felt relieved.
In the eyes of the emperor, eunuchs are not even human beings. In this palace so many years ago, countless eunuchs died from sticks because the emperor was angry and took out his anger on the slaves.
At the door of Zhu Yuanzhang's palace, it was Pu Bucheng who was on duty. When he saw Zhu Yunxi, he smiled with an expressionless face, and then whispered to the inside, Your Majesty, Your Highness is here!
Come in when you are here! Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from inside. He has said it many times, our eldest grandson is here, no need to announce it!
Zhu Yunxi smiled at Pu Bucheng, then carried the copper basin and stepped across the threshold.
Under the candlelight, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting behind the desk, still reading the memorial by the light.
What are you serving? Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and asked.
Zhu Yunxi placed the copper basin at the old man's feet and said with a smile, "My grandson will leave the capital tomorrow. Today I will show my filial piety to you and give you a foot bath!"
In one sentence, the wrinkles on Zhu Yuanzhang's face opened and there was a smile on his face.
Zhu Yunxi rolled up his sleeves, gently helped the old man take off his shoes and socks, held his feet and slowly lowered them into the water.
Grandpa, do you want to perm it or not? Zhu Yuanzhang’s feet are ugly. They are covered with hard calluses and his nails are deformed and black in color.
Hiss! Zhu Yuanzhang tested the water temperature. It was good, but not hot enough!
This is already very hot! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, you are so hot that you are gasping for breath, and you still say it is not hot!
What do you know? The hotter your feet are, the better! Heat the water! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
Later, Pu Wuyong came over and refilled the copper basin with some hot water. Zhu Yuanzhang explored it again and nodded with satisfaction.
Hiss! The old man grinned and put his feet in without a royal image, with a bit of contentment between his eyebrows. You just don't know how to live. You can't use a copper basin to hot your feet, you have to use a wooden basin!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said that his grandson just couldn't find the wooden basin. Then, while lifting up the old man's trousers, he said that his grandson had read a foot soaking recipe with medicinal herbs in a book before, saying that it could relax the muscles and activate blood circulation.
If you look for it, the hospital will give it to you. From now on, you can soak your feet every day to relieve fatigue!
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed happily, that's great!
At this time, Zhu Yunxi rolled up the old man's trousers and found several centipede-like twisted and hideous scars on his calves.
In the 14th year of Zhengzheng year, when we were attacking Chuzhou, we rode towards the Yuan army's position. Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly, at that time, he only had half of the armor on his upper body and nothing on his legs. Someone came here and cut him with a knife! As he said, the old man
Pointing at the outside of the thigh, it was a scar that someone poked with a spear.
The old man said it lightly, but the danger involved is self-evident.
Does it hurt? Zhu Yunxi wiped the old man's legs with a hot towel and asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. He was so red-eyed at that time, how could he know the pain! Or when he was sitting there to eat after the battle, Tang He told us: Chongba, is there blood on your leg? Haha!
As he said that, the old man's eyes became deep. Who among the fighting people was not injured? We didn't take it seriously at that time. We just wiped it a few times and let the doctor take the blame. We will continue to fight the next day! This is a trivial matter, as long as it is not
If the bow and arrow hit the vital point, you will generally not die.
You are really lucky! In these days, even a little bit of tetanus can kill someone, let alone such a deep stab wound. Zhu Yunxi smiled and raised his head, this is destiny, destiny is yours!
Nonsense! Zhu Yuanzhang was impressed, but he did not accept this flattery. Instead, he said seriously, how can there be destiny? This world was created by your grandfather with one knife and one shot. Grandson, remember, no matter when the time comes, you only have the knife in your hand.
, is destiny!
Political power comes from the handle of a knife! Zhu Yunxi summed it up with a smile.
Yes, we like to hear this! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
The water gradually became less hot. Zhu Yunxi squatted on the ground and wiped the old man's feet.
Grandpa, after all these years, why do you still have calluses on your feet? Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.
It can’t be cleaned! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, your grandfather didn’t even have shoes before he was fifteen years old. He was barefoot in the ground all day long. Later he became a monk and traveled around the world wearing straw sandals. After becoming a soldier, he didn’t even care about it.
On the day I got married to your grandma, when I took off my shoes, there were dry cracks on my feet, which made your grandma feel bad. Fortunately, these years, when I was young, my feet were covered with frostbite in winter, which made them painful and itchy!
After saying that, he sighed, the feet of poor people are like this, only the feet of nobles are white and tender.
Grandpa! Zhu Yunxi said while washing the old man's feet that his grandson will always remember that our Zhu family is a child of a poor family. Not only will his grandson remember it, but he will also tell future generations that it is not easy for our ancestors to start a business and that life in the world is difficult.
Good boy! Zhu Yuanzhang’s big hand touched Zhu Yunxi’s head. Tell us why he took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Jiangxi today?
It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Zhu Yunxi said that what you read on paper will eventually become shallow. His grandson felt that it was better to go to places to see and learn in order to better govern. Otherwise, it would be useless to stay in the palace all his life.
Aren't you just blind and don't know anything?
Yes! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Besides, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Only by doing it yourself can you know which method is right. Zhu Yunxi continued to smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod. This is a good saying, right, and a wise saying! As he said it, he laughed. After all, it is better to study in the palace than to do it in person. If you think so, grandpa is very happy!
Then, the old man said again, when you arrive at the place, what is your first step?
The grandson thought, the first step is to be steady. The grandson is the imperial envoy of the emperor and the prince. Knowing that the grandson is coming, the people will not be so panicked. Then let the local government open a warehouse for relief and set up a porridge factory in a fixed location.
Homeless people are asked to pick them up at a fixed time every day.
As for those who have families, food rations are also distributed on a daily basis. Food cannot be given in excess, in case someone takes too much.
The memorial in Fuzhou only talked about the civil uprising, but did not say what happened to the place where the Fuhe River burst, nor did it say whether to organize civilian men to build the river embankment. Sunzi wanted to provide relief while organizing the men among the victims to build the river embankment.
Repair well.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly. It is very rare for you to come up with so much in a hurry. The two people we sent to you are both veterans who can do things. You should listen more, ask more, learn more, and don't put on airs in front of them.
Grandson understands! Zhu Yunxi smiled, and then said to Pu Wuyong behind him, go find a scraping stone!
Then, Zhu Yunxi took the foot scraping stone and slowly scraped the soft calluses on Zhu Yuanzhang's heels. After a while, there was a white patch in the basin.
Haha! What is the purpose of having children? Just for this! With a smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Pu Bucheng, look, he is our biological grandson after all, he does not dislike us! Haha!
However, after the old man finished laughing, he smiled again and said to Pu Bucheng, "Hey, why are we telling you this? You don't have a queen!"
The words are full of real men's contempt for fake men.
~~(I am the dividing line)
Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight fell, Zhu Yunxi got up from the bed.
Pu Wuyong and several eunuchs helped him wash up, put on his clothes, and came to Fengtian Hall again.
The old man also got up and was getting dressed, being attended by the eunuch.
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi was only wearing a simple T-shirt, he frowned and asked, "Why are you wearing this? Where is the dress?"
According to the rules, the prince should wear a royal crown and a dragon dress woven with gold thread when traveling.
My grandson is going to run an errand, and it's not about pomp and circumstance. He will take his guards with him and go ahead quickly! It's not convenient to wear a formal dress. Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The lining on his body is a costume that combines the characteristics of the northern nomads. It has narrow sleeves and a waist, suitable for horseback riding and martial arts training. This kind of clothing can be traced back to the Liao and Jin Dynasties and was popular in the Yuan Dynasty. After wearing it, it is not only convenient for movement, but also looks good.
Standing tall and straight.
The costumes of Jinyiwei are similar to this. Moreover, the ministers and generals in the palace also often wear this kind of costume.
Okay! Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked to the imperial desk. You are old too. We have nothing to tell you. Just one sentence, do your job well and don't make people laugh.
Grandson, remember this! Zhu Yunxi bowed and raised his head, "Grandpa, you have to take care of yourself while your grandson is away."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled a few times, my body is strong! Although he is smiling, there is a trace of reluctance hidden in his eyes. Go early and come back early. Remember that October is my birthday, you have to come back!
Grandpa, your grandson will definitely come to wish you a birthday, run errands, and comfort the victims in Jiangxi. This is a birthday gift for you! Zhu Yunxi said loudly.
Looking at the heroic Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently, then slowly walked to the imperial desk, grabbed the sword directly from it, and continued!
Bang, the heavy sword was caught in his hand.
The first time we killed people back then, we took this thing, and we relied on this to defeat the Ming Dynasty. Now, I leave it to you. As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang did not look at Zhu Yunxi, but said behind his back, "Dasun, go!"
Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, he held the sword in both hands, knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
Then, stand up and turn around to go out.
Beside the imperial desk, the old man's body trembled.
He had a sword on his waist and a cape on his body. After leaving Fengtian Hall, a group of cavalry was already waiting there on the side of the hall, including Tie Xuan and Xie Jin.
Your Majesty, please see me!
No need to be polite! Zhu Yunxi strode past, flicked his cloak, and mounted his horse!
With a crash, hundreds of cavalrymen armed to the teeth got on their horses, and their armor made a loud scraping sound.
Zhu Yunxi rode at the front of the cavalry formation and slowly passed in front of the main hall.
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, Zhu Yunxi turned his head and looked back.
The old man arrived at the door at some unknown time and waved slightly to him.
Grandpa! Zhu Yunxi shouted, waiting for his grandson!
