Zhu Yunxi's soul from later generations knew how miserable this most noble grandson would be in the second half of his life.
Jianwen was on guard against him and did not let him join the feudal clan at all.
Zhu Di was afraid of his reputation and imprisoned him.
Thirty-nine years old! Zhu Yunxi only lived to be thirty-nine years old.
Zhang Hao in his previous life and Zhu Yunxi in this life died of depression at the age of thirty-nine. His descendants were even expelled from the Zhu family's ancestral temple by Zhu Di.
Since he was reborn, he would not allow such a tragedy to happen to him.
I want that throne, and I want to create a different Ming Empire!
Daming, Daming, how many people have eternal pain in their hearts!
It hurts for its unparalleled elegance, its unparalleled beauty, its picturesque country, and its peaceful singing and dancing.
Zhu Yunxi in the mirror grinned again, his eyes full of confidence.
From today on, you are the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the grandson of the Ming Emperor, Zhu Yunxi!
Although you have a noble status, from today on, you have no way out.
If you quit, what awaits you is a prison of eternal darkness and a cage of wealth!
Compared with the noble status of the emperor's grandson in this life, Zhu Yunxi's status in the previous life was extremely ordinary.
He is just a child from an ordinary family. He went to school to serve in the army. After he retired from the army, he worked as an online ride-hailing driver to make a living. He worked hard to earn money and lived a fulfilling life.
Although he is young, his sharp character, longing for the beauty of the world, and his once heroic ambitions have all been wiped out by society.
However, this soul that traveled through time, the soul of a child from an ordinary people's family, has qualities that Zhu Yunxi, the emperor's grandson, does not have. He has uncompromising attitude towards life, drive for life, and ambition.
Because he has nothing, no good father, no good relatives, only his own hands and his own fists. Everything in his life must be obtained with his hands. In order to get a better life for himself, he worked tirelessly,
He is observant, hardworking and even a bit life-threatening.
He is not only ambitious, but also forbearing, strong, adaptable, and unwilling to admit defeat. Children from poor families are even less likely to be defeated.
Looking at his face in the mirror for the last time, Zhu Yunxi showed a resolute smile and shouted to the outside, "Come in!"
Thump, thump, the sound of feet hitting the floor.
The door at the back was opened, and several eunuchs dressed in white knelt down in front of Zhu Yunxi. Their every gesture was humble and flattering.
Third Master, the servants are waiting for you to change your clothes!
The eunuch opened his mouth and spoke some weird Chinese. Most of the eunuchs in the palace were not Han Chinese, but Koreans.
Goryeo, a small country thousands of miles away in the north, has always been a vassal of the Celestial Empire. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo originally wanted to avenge its old master. But on the border of Liaodong, after seeing the wolf-like and tiger-like cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo
The general commanding the troops made a wise decision.
Instead of leading the soldiers of Goryeo to death, it would be better to go back and kill the king who was canonized by Meng Yuan of Goryeo to ascend the throne, and then ask for canonization from the Ming Dynasty.
He succeeded. He replaced the King of Korea and became the new King of Korea. But his diplomatic strategy was the same as that of all the kings of Korea for thousands of years, which was to make contributions. The place was too poor and had nothing good, so he paid tribute to the Celestial Empire.
The things that best express surrender to a monarch are beauties and eunuchs.
The eunuch next to Zhu Yunxi was from Korea, and had an unpleasant name, "Wonderful Bastard".
In the memory of the previous life, there seemed to be many powerful eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Zhen, who encouraged the Mingying clan to conquer personally and ended up being captured by the Mongols, the Eight Tigers led by Liu Jin, Feng Bao, Wei Zhongxian during the Wanli period, etc.
But now, in the rising sun of the Ming Empire, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi's father are extremely disgusted with eunuchs. As the controllers of the country, they have seen too many powerful people in history causing rebellion, leading to the decline of the country.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that, except for the eunuchs who served in the harem of the prince, emperor and grandson, the rest of the eunuchs in the palace could only be used for menial work. They were not allowed to read or even speak casually.
Under the service of several eunuchs, Zhu Yunxi was dressed in sackcloth, filial piety, and all in white. Such meticulous service made his later-generation soul very unaccustomed.
I'll do it myself! When the eunuch wanted to put on his shoes, Zhu Yunxi put on the white hemp shoes himself.
However, such a simple move frightened the serving eunuchs and made them kowtow repeatedly.
The slaves deserve to die for not serving the third master well!
Among Zhu Biao's disciples, Zhu Yunxi was ranked third in age and did not have a title for the time being, so the eunuchs in the palace called him the third master.
Ignoring the shivering eunuchs who were kowtowing like garlic, Zhu Yunxi put on his shoes and asked in a low voice, "You bastard, have they all gone to the funeral?"
In the palace, a place where one can lose one's head at any time, the eunuchs who can get around the emperor's grandson all have exquisite minds. When they heard this, they knew that the master was talking about other people in the East Palace.
For example, Zhu Yunxi's nominal stepmother, Mrs. Lu, and Zhu Biao's eldest son, Zhu Yunwen.
He looked around and whispered, "Third Master, it's still early!" After saying that, he looked left and right again, and quickly stuffed something into Zhu Yunxi's hand, "Third Master, my eyes are wrong with you..."
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and saw that it was a piece of ginger. He understood instantly. His eyes were not red and swollen due to the death of a loved one and the sadness and crying. If his eyes were not red and swollen, there would be no sadness on his face.
In this age where etiquette is emphasized, if a loved one dies, it is extremely rude and extremely criticized if you do not cry loudly and insist on death.
You are interested! Zhu Yunxi then patted the bastard on the shoulder. With such a gentle move, the Goryeo eunuch almost shed tears.
In the past, this third master would only vent his anger on slaves like them, but when did he treat them so easily?
The spring rain is still falling, pattering. The rainwater forms trickling streams on the bluestone floor.
Zhu Yunxi, dressed in mourning clothes, slowly walked out of the door.
Zhu Biao's coffin was parked in Fengan Hall. As his legitimate son, he had to pay homage in front of the coffin and keep vigil at the coffin.
Ah! Prince, please take my concubine and leave!
As soon as Zhu Yunxi stepped out of the door, stepping on the crystal rain, a heartbreaking cry suddenly came from the room next to him.
Your Majesty! How many children do you still have if you have the heart to abandon your concubine?
Amidst the sound of crying, a group of eunuchs and maids, surrounded by a woman in white, came out of the side room. The woman burst into tears and seemed to be unable to even stand upright and needed help from others. This is what Zhu Yunxi's name is.
Stepmother, the crown prince’s step-concubine Lu.
Behind Mr. Lu, followed a tearful young man. His face was somewhat similar to Zhu Yunxi's, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was holding a boy of six or seven years old in each hand. This was Zhu Yunxi's second brother, Zhu Biao's eldest son Zhu Yunwen, and his two
Two younger brothers from the same mother, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi.
The group of people moved forward wailing and wailing.
Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, is alone, standing in the rain.
Gradually, he was about to encounter it. Zhu Yunxi wiped his eyes fiercely with the ginger in his hand. The spicy smell immediately made his eyes red and swollen, and he burst into tears.
Mother concubine! Zhu Yunxi salutes in the rain.
Prince! However, Mrs. Lu, who was so sad, seemed to have not seen him, and passed him by with tears in her eyes.
Ha! Zhu Yunxi sneered in his heart, this stepmother really doesn’t take herself seriously! She doesn’t even want to do anything to save face?
But Zhu Yunwen pulled his two younger brothers and stood still in front of Zhu Yunxi. "Third brother, I heard that you fainted this morning. Are you okay?"
Zhu Yunwen's face was full of sadness and his tone was concerned, he really looked like a brother.
Zhu Yunxi hurriedly saluted, thanking his second brother for thinking about him, and said that his younger brother was fine! It's just...just that my father suddenly...I felt really uncomfortable! As he said that, Zhu Yunxi covered his eyes with his sleeves and started crying.
When he cried, Zhu Yunwen and his two little brothers also started crying in the rain.
Behind him, a eunuch quickly came forward and held up umbrellas for several people.
Zhu Yunwen pulled his two younger brothers in front, while Zhu Yunxi trailed half a step behind. Every step he took, he cried loudly.
In the spring breeze and drizzle, the figures of the brothers looked so desolate and desolate.
