The two of them chatted in the imperial study until late at night. Finally, a young eunuch from the East Palace found him and walked out of the imperial study.
It turned out that the prince had woken up, and Zhu Yuanzhang also rushed to the East Palace after hearing the news, but he did not see Zhu Yunwen, so he immediately sent people looking around.
This shocked Zhu Yunwen, but Zhu Gui told him not to worry, he would intercede for him.
Zhu Yunwen finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he forgot that his uncle's image in the eyes of his grandfather was even worse.
The two of them soon returned to the East Palace.
As soon as they entered the hall, the two of them clearly felt the change in the atmosphere.
The eunuchs, maids, and imperial doctors who had been in a hurry before were now kneeling on both sides of the hall with fearful expressions on their faces.
Zhu Yuanzhang's angry voice could be heard from deep in the hall from time to time.
"It's been so long and you still haven't found them? What are you doing to eat? Push them out and chop them up."
"Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui, I really shouldn't have let the emperor's grandson follow you. You are capable of leading the emperor's grandson astray in one day."
Zhu Gui felt his scalp numb when he heard this voice. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
Zhu Yunwen on the side was even more frightened and his face turned pale.
However, he still stopped the eunuch who was dragged out by the imperial guards to be beheaded.
"I will plead with Grandpa Huang. Can you two please wait a moment?"
The two imperial guards looked at each other, then nodded. Although they did not speak, they still stopped where they were.
The little eunuch, whose face was pale with fright, immediately began to plead with Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen turned around and glanced at Zhu Gui, then a determined look appeared on his face.
At this moment, Zhu Gui seemed to see the shadow of Zhu Biao in him.
The same generous lover.
Zhu Gui sighed lightly and walked into the palace of Prince Zhu Biao with Zhu Yunwen.
As soon as I entered, I heard Zhu Biao's weak voice: "Father, please don't be angry. Zhu Gui is completely different from before. He will not harm Yunwen. I believe they must have something important to do before leaving.
"
"Is there anything more important than your illness? How filial Yunwen used to be was ruined by that boy Zhu Gui. When I find him, let's see if I don't skin him."
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
At this moment, the imperial guard guarding the door opened the door and whispered: "The emperor, the prince, the emperor's grandson and the acting king are back."
While talking, Zhu Gui and Zhu Yunwen walked in together.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he immediately walked over. He grabbed Zhu Yunwen's arm and pulled him behind him. Then he glared at Zhu Gui and said, "Zhu Gui, where did you take the emperor's grandson? Tell me the truth."
The corner of Zhu Gui's mouth twitched, and he was complaining in his heart.
How could he not know that no matter what he said at this time, it would only make Zhu Yuanzhang think that he was just making trouble out of nothing.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen spoke at this time.
He knelt down directly and said: "Grandpa Huang, uncle Huang took me to the imperial study room and explained a lot of truths to me. What I have learned in the past half day is better than all the books I have read in the past."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen in surprise and said: "Yunwen, I know that you are as generous as your father, but you don't want to be protected by everyone. Although this Zhu Gui is your uncle, he is naughty by nature.
I don’t know how many unethical things I have done.”
Zhu Yunwen directly raised his head and said: "I don't know about uncle Huang's previous things, but what happened today is indeed not uncle Huang's fault. If Grandpa Huang wants to punish, then punish me."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, then sat down and said, "How can I be willing to punish you? But tell me what you learned today? If what you said makes sense, I don't have to punish him."
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Gui, but spoke to Zhu Yunwen in an extremely soft tone, which made Zhu Gui not happy.
Zhu Yunwen then raised his head and said: "Uncle Huang taught me today the way to govern a country and bring peace to the world. That is to let everyone have food to eat and books to read. Then everyone will be a talent, and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous as never before.
For generations to come.”
"Everyone has food to eat? Everyone has books to read? Huh, that's easy to say. How many wise men throughout the ages have pursued this thing, but who has really achieved it? It's just empty talk." Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously interested in this.
I don’t buy the rhetoric.
"Grandpa Huang, this is not empty talk. Uncle Huang has already mastered the method to achieve this step. This is the grain seed that Uncle Huang showed me. He has already tried planting it in Yunzhong. If it can be promoted in the Ming Dynasty, it will be completely
We can resist natural disasters and everyone will have food to eat."
Zhu Yunwen took out some seeds that Zhu Gui had given him before.
Zhu Gui originally asked him to test this in the Imperial Garden, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in this situation.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the small bag of grains, then picked up one and looked at it.
He was born a farmer and was very familiar with many agricultural practices, but the seeds in his hands made him feel very surprised.
This was the first time he saw corn seeds.
"What is this?"
This time Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Gui.
Zhu Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Father, this is a seed called corn. It has good resistance to floods and has a very high yield. With the same acre of land, he can feed a family of five."
Zhu Gui introduced.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he also became interested in other seeds.
So Zhu Guiyi introduced it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Finally, he explained: "These are all obtained by my son through experiments in ancient books in Yunzhou, in order to solve my father's problems."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the packet of seeds in his hand and fell into deep thought. Naturally, he would not believe Zhu Gui just because of his words.
But at this time, Zhu Biao sat up with the help of Zhu Yunwen and said: "Father, what the Thirteenth Emperor said must be true. Among the states affected by the disaster this year, only Yunzhou has not received relief from the imperial court."
"Is this happening? Is it all because of these grains?" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what the prince said, he reluctantly believed it.
Zhu Gui immediately nodded and said: "Yes, because Yunzhou's trade conditions are relatively good, although there is a certain shortage of food, the price level has been maintained, and the people's lives have not been greatly affected."
Zhu Gui's words contained a little secret, which showed that businessmen also played a certain role in this natural disaster.
How could Zhu Yuanzhang not hear his little thoughts? However, when he looked at the grains in his eyes, he did not expose him.
After all, if it is true as Zhu Gui said, then these grain seeds represent the hope of the future of the Ming Dynasty.
