Zhu Yunxi's voice was full of infinite temptation, and he continued, "We have knives and soldiers in our hands. Wouldn't it be a waste not to grab them?"
Think about my grandpa, your father, what did he do when he was young?
When he was young, he worked as a monk and had to eat!
My great-grandfather, what does your grandfather do?
Farmers and farmers who don’t have enough to eat!
After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he liked to recall the bitterness and sweetness with his descendants. Not only did he not hide his bitter origin in front of the world, but he also regarded this bitterness as a gift and training from heaven and told it to his princes and grandsons.
Earlier, when the adult princes were still young, they went back to their hometown in Fengyang to worship their ancestors. Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow them to ride horses or carriages. Instead, they wore straw sandals and walked back along the footsteps of his army.
The princes are also not allowed to accept gifts and meals from the officials along the way. This is to warn their descendants how difficult it is for the Zhu family to survive today.
All the young princes fell into deep thought.
How did our Zhu family come to be where we are today? Zhu Yunxi continues to poison the young hearts of these children. Our ancestors are authentic mud-legged people. Our country was not snatched from Dayuan's hands with a knife. My grandfather, your father
, led a group of soldiers to snatch us glory, wealth, and the throne!
All the young princes nodded one after another. They were all at the age of climbing trees and hunting birds, and they were itching all day long in the palace.
Uncle Twenty-One!
King Shen Zhu Mo ranked twenty-first, and according to his seniority, he was Zhu Yunxi's twenty-first uncle.
Huh? What's wrong?
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Uncle Twenty-one, don't you envy your grandfather the most in your life when he led an army to fight in bloody battles? Tell me, do you want to be a happy prince who has nothing to do and watch cockfights when you are full all day long, or do you want to be a free prince?"
A great general with a leaping horse and a sword!
Of course he is the general! Shen Wang Zhu Mo patted his chest and said, "Every time I hear my uncle talk about how he followed General Chang into the battle, I...I can't wait to take a sword and go to the battlefield right away!"
King Shen's uncle is also a fierce general. He was formerly a subordinate of Chang Yuchun and is now the commander of the Shenwu Army in Beijing.
That's it! Zhu Yunxi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Those Tibetan people occupy such a good place and occupy so much gold and silver treasures. Do you feel uncomfortable watching it?"
When you grow up, bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, kill them directly, rob them of all their goodies, and open up territory for the Ming Dynasty. It will be majestic or not!
After hearing Zhu Yunxi's words, Shen Wang Zhu Mo's eyes shone, majestic! majestic! He seemed to have seen the day when he led the army to charge, rampaged through the barbarian land, and raised the flag of the Ming Dynasty high.
I'm going to rob them. I'll take my uncle, my cousin, and my second uncle to rob those barbarians! Zhu Mo shouted loudly.
I also have an uncle! Tang Wang Zhu Huang scratched his neck and said, my uncle is killing the Tatars in the north, I will write to him right now and ask him to come back!
Who doesn't have an uncle? King Ying also joined in the fun and shouted, "My uncle is a meritorious earl. He has thousands of soldiers under his command, all of whom are cavalry. I will ask him to carry me on horseback!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled, these children are all blank slates.
Their own seeds have begun to take root and sprout in their hearts.
Uh-huh! Suddenly, a deliberate sound came from outside the school window.
Everyone turned around and saw Huang Gou'er, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch, standing there.
My servant, please give your regards to all the princes!
Huang Gou'er knelt on the ground, raised his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, King Wu, your Majesty invites you to have a meal."
OK! Zhu Yunxi nodded and strode away under the envious eyes of all the princes.
In the school, Zhu Yunwen, who was in the front row, lowered his head in loneliness.
It turns out that the honor of dining with the imperial grandfather is a dignity that only he, the nominal eldest grandson, can have.
And now...
Raise your head and look out the window.
Grandfather, have you forgotten your grandson? Zhu Yunwen felt sad.
~~~~~
No need to be polite, just the two of us, sit down!
In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi still helped him sit down first, and then sat across from him.
The dishes on the table are somewhat unexpected.
Zhu Yuanzhang was probably one of the simplest emperors in history. When he became emperor, he still loved to eat hometown dishes, and every meal only had one dish and one meal, which was just enough to eat, and he would never waste it.
The most commonly eaten dish is fried marinated pork with garlic and green onions.
Bacon is bacon, which is rich in oil and salt. It is a delicacy in the mouths of ordinary people, but it is a bit indecent on the emperor's table.
But Zhu Yuanzhang just liked it. Not only did he like it, but he also ate every meal very cleanly, leaving not a single grain of rice left.
Zhu Yunxi had heard this story. His nineteenth uncle, King Gu, was whipped ten times by Zhu Yuanzhang himself for secretly throwing away old rice and bacon.
I scolded you while slapping, you are a prodigal who has forgotten your ancestors and betrayed your ancestors, you are a prodigal who doesn’t know the hardships of people’s livelihood.
But now, the dishes on the table are particularly rich.
The imperial chef's carefully prepared dry-roasted fish, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, salted duck, fat chicken, etc. are all on the table.
It smells fragrant, but it looks just like what it looks like.
This so-called imperial cook was actually not a skilled cook, but a cook in the army. His surname was Xu, and his name was Xingzu. He had been with Zhu Yuanzhang for almost thirty years, and he cooked all the meals for the Zhu family.
Eat, what are you looking at? Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously in a good mood, and there was a pot of warm wine on the table.
Zhu Yunxi quickly got up and filled Zhu Yuanzhang's plate, "Grandpa Huang, we can't eat these!"
If you can't eat it, give it to the guards, and there will be nothing left! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said, "Eat, eat more!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the table full of dishes and hesitated.
You stinky boy, you turned a deaf ear to what we said! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and scolded, if you are not allowed to observe filial piety, you will become a vegetarian. You are growing tall, and when we are your age, we can eat three fat chickens in one meal
.What should you do if you become a vegetarian and lose your health? How can a man not eat meat? Give it to us!
As he said that, he tore off a chicken leg and put it on Zhu Yunxi's plate. Then he wiped his hands on his clothes regardless of the image. Eat, eat more!
Thanks, Grandpa Huang!
Although he wanted to please Zhu Yuanzhang, the old man's heartfelt care for his grandson also warmed Zhu Yunxi's heart.
The old man in front of him instantly merged with the kind grandfather in his past life memory in his mind.
Tears couldn't help but fall, and I started eating with big mouthfuls.
Then, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and finished the chicken legs in two or three bites.
That's cool. You're old too. Let's have a drink with grandpa! Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the wine glass.
Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly drank half a cup with him.
Hey, if you didn't act stupid, we wouldn't be able to have a drink today! Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
With that said, look at Zhu Yunxi, let me ask you, did you come up with those words today yourself?
Back to Grandpa Huang, every sentence is what the grandson thought of himself! Zhu Yunxi said.
He is a very valuable talent! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled gently, but immediately his smile froze. Do you know how offending your words are?
With you here, who does my grandson have to be afraid of? Besides, my grandson is the emperor's direct grandson, who cares? Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction, he looks like our grandson!
Then, as if unintentionally, he continued, what you said, whether it is to change taxes or to occupy the land of a vassal state, is extremely difficult, even the emperor would have difficulty implementing it. As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with lightning eyes.
Zhu Yunxi, if, let's say if, if you become the emperor, what will you do? How will you convince those ministers?
Coming, Zhu Yunxi was shocked.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang asked this, it means that the crown prince in his heart is leaning towards him.
Zhu Yunxi stood up, bowed and said, "My grandson thinks that an emperor without a pioneering spirit is worse than a watchdog!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.
The emperor is the leader of the world, and the ministers are the ones who help the emperor. Whether it is tax reform or other things, the interests of the ministers will be blocked. However, the emperor is not the emperor of the ministers, but the emperor of the people of the world. As long as he is good to the people, he will be blocked.
is right.
Grandpa Huang once said that the emperor must uphold justice for the people. I don’t need to convince them, I just need them to implement it.
Zhu Yuanzhang drank the wine in his glass and asked, what if he gets a reputation?
There is a steelyard in the hearts of the people, and they can judge what is right and wrong. If a grandson becomes the emperor, he will not be a gatekeeper emperor who is unwilling to be praised by all officials, but a great emperor who is willing to be praised by all people!
Good! Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and laughed.
At this moment, Huang Gouer hurriedly walked in holding a folding book.
What's the matter? Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy.
Huang Gou'er knelt down, Your Majesty, Yunnan's eight hundred miles have urgent memorial, Mr. Mu...
Oops, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, what happened to Mu Ying?
