Chapter 75: The end of prosperity

Bang bang, bright fireworks bloomed in the night sky outside Daming Gate.

On New Year's Eve, the royal family and the people rejoiced together. The fireworks completely lit up the world, and as far as the eye could see, there were endless people with their families and families.

"Wow! It's a butterfly!"

On the tower of Daming Gate, little Fu'er clapped her hands and jumped happily, with fireworks in full bloom and stars dotted in her clear pupils.

Bang bang bang, thousands of cannons fired together, like countless colorful butterflies flying under the stars in the night sky, lifelike.

"You are spending money indiscriminately!" The old man put his hands behind his back and looked at the fireworks in the sky with a smile, "This thing is not for eating or drinking!"

"Is it the Chinese New Year?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "The Chinese New Year in ordinary people's homes is nothing more than setting off firecrackers and listening to the sound. They can only watch the fireworks in the homes of dignitaries from a distance. So my grandson thought, let's just put up the fireworks in the palace."

Let's play it outside the Ming Dynasty Gate and enjoy it with the people!" He said, pointing to the Ming Dynasty Gate. The people who looked up and exclaimed, intoxicated by the brilliance, laughed and said, "You see, the people all love to watch Ming Dynasty.

My son will definitely praise your kindness!"

"That's nonsense!" The old man put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile, "What kind of kindness is it to let them watch the fireworks? It's just to watch the fun, but it is a kindness to let them have food and clothing!"

Bang bang, fireworks bloomed in the night sky again, and in the sky was a golden image of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Wow!" Liu Jin, Xiao Fu'er and the young princes all opened their mouths and stared intently.

"Grandpa Huang, look at the dexterity of our Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Dead things can also become living things!"

"Ha!" The old man smiled, "You are good at this, but you still don't rack your brains to decorate it with prosperity? You are so handy? You got it from the money!"

Bang bang bang, countless lights bloomed in the night sky again, illuminating the old man's thoughtful face.

"Actually, it didn't cost much. Except for what was prepared by the palace, everything else was prepared by the princes and ministers!" Zhu Yunxi knew that the old man was in pain again. After all, fireworks were a big expense.

Immediately, he pointed to the fireworks that rose up again in the sky, like thousands of plum blossoms blooming at the same time, and said, "Look, those are the plum blossom cannons bought from Huguang by the Jingchuan Hou family!"

"Idiot Cao has money to burn!" The old man curled his lips and glanced at Zhu Yunxi, "No matter how rich the world is in the future, you should stop doing these superficial things that waste people and money!"

At this time, Xiao Fu'er suddenly raised his little face and said pitifully to the old man, "Father, can you put it away every year from now on? Xiao Fu'er wants to see it!"

"Okay!" The old man immediately laughed again, hugged his beloved little girl in his big hands, and looked at the fireworks in full bloom. "It's not a big deal. I'll let the emperor do it for you during the holidays from now on!"

Crashing, fireworks and stars falling, in the light, Zhu Yunxi turned his head with a smile.

The old man just said it would cost money, but as soon as the little girl opened her mouth, she immediately changed her attitude.

Suddenly, Liujin shouted, "Meteor!"

Bang, clatter!

The fireworks burst suddenly at the highest point in the sky, like countless stars falling. It was indescribably beautiful and intoxicating.

For a moment, everyone in the royal family on the Damingmen Gate Tower could not take their eyes away.

The little Fu'er in the old man's arms suddenly put his hands together and silently made a wish.

"What are you doing?" the old man said with a smile.

"Father, grandma once said that when there are shooting stars in the sky, you have to make a wish. It's very effective!" Xiao Fu'er said seriously.

"Ha!" The old man laughed, "Where do you get this from?"

"What wish did you make?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Xiao Fu'er tilted his head and put his little hands around the old man's neck, "I promise that my father will live a long life and stay with me forever!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi noticed a fluctuation in the old man's eyes, which were full of reflections of shooting stars.

Then he held Xiao Fu'er tightly in his arms, and in the next second, amid Xiao Fu'er's screams, he lifted the little girl on his shoulders.

"Come on, little girl, ride on daddy's neck and watch!" the old man laughed.

"Giggle!" Xiao Fu'er clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

"Me! Me!" Liu Jin was so anxious that he couldn't help but want to pull Xiao Fu'er down. He rode on the old man's shoulders.

"This is my dad!" Xiao Fuer wrinkled his nose and snorted.

"I have a father too!" Liujin jumped, looked at Zhu Yunxi, and timidly shouted, "Father!"

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Liujin and said, "Come on!" As he said this, he bent down and Liujin cheered and rode up.

Under the shadow of fireworks, on the gate tower of Daming Gate, two emperors of the Ming Dynasty stood side by side, with the little people on their shoulders cheering.

Fireworks seem to have no end, one after another.

The hustle and bustle of the night sky never stops for a moment, and all the lights are always shining together.

As the stars fell, several fireworks shot up into the sky.

boom!

Zhu Yunxi and the old man suddenly looked surprised.

This time it is not as gorgeous as other fireworks, but a word.

flood!

Bang, Wu!

Bang, ye!

"This is..." the old man wondered.

Bang bang bang, several large golden characters suddenly bloomed in the night sky.

Liujin looked at those big characters and shouted, "Master Hongwu will live a long life!"

"Ah!" The old man was stunned, then grinned silently.

Immediately between heaven and earth, in the open space outside Daming Gate, countless people with their families followed and shouted, "Lord Hongwu may live a long life!"

"Haha!" The old man laughed again.

Before the words "Master Hong Wu lived a long life and a hundred years old" faded away, fireworks bloomed again in the sky and another line of words appeared.

"The sun and moon of the Ming Dynasty will last forever!"

Heaven and earth are filled with people's cries. Lord Hongwu will live a long life, and the sun and moon of the Ming Dynasty will last forever!

"You, you are just doing this nonsense!" The old man pointed at Zhu Yunxi and said with a smile.

"It's really not my grandson who did this!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, then looked at the bastard behind him, "Whose fireworks are these?"

The bastard bastard hurriedly ran to ask, and soon came back with his consort Hu Guan.

Today is New Year's Eve. All other yamen are on holiday, but Guanglu Temple, which is responsible for royal affairs, is still on duty.

"Go back to the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty!" Hu Guan bowed and saluted, "The fireworks just now were specially presented by Cao Guogong to the two emperors. I heard that the craftsmen were hired from Guangdong and it took a year to make so many.

pieces!"

"When I think about it, there is no one else!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "He is the only one who has this idea!"

In the night sky, the words "Sun and Moon of the Ming Dynasty" appear, slowly fading and dimming.

The old man sighed, "He has a heart!" As he spoke, he sighed a little, "The sun and the moon will last forever? Oh, how difficult it is!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang, it's not difficult. If people's hearts are there, Ming Dynasty will be there!"

"The human heart is harder than these fireworks!" The old man looked at the night sky and murmured to himself.

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "We are old and can't control much. The country has been entrusted to you for a long time. Whether the sun and the moon will last forever or the river will decline, it all depends on you!"

With that said, he patted Zhu Yunxi on the shoulder, carried Xiao Fu'er, and slowly walked towards the city under the dim fireworks in the sky.

"Do you still have your father?" Liu Jin asked, pulling on Zhu Yunxi's collar.

"Get down, it's so heavy!" Zhu Yunxi's shoulders shook, and a eunuch stepped forward to lift the six pounds down.

Then he quickly caught up with the old man and said, "Grandpa Huang, there will be a royal meeting tomorrow..."

"We're not going!" the old man said loudly, swinging the little girl on his shoulders.

Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment before hearing the old man continue, "We won't go to any court meetings from now on. We have been tired for a lifetime, so it's time to sleep in!"
