Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

"Why?" Zhu Xiongying's little head was greatly confused.

Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his sleeves irritably: "Don't you know how far this Yingtian Mansion is from Dingyang, Shanxi? Shanxi memorials were reported to the imperial court, and they would run for three days and three nights at high speed. You ran so far alone?"

During the Hongwu period when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was Yingtianfu in Nanjing, which was indeed some distance away from Shanxi. In addition, the transportation in this era was not very developed, so it was quite inconvenient to travel, and it was normal for Zhu Yuanzhang not to agree.

But Zhu Xiongying didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity.

"But I think the charcoal fire is really good. If I can gather more, it can keep out the cold in winter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying firmly: "You doll, you still haven't grown up, this charcoal fire, sometimes you can indeed pick some very good quality, and it's very good to use, but that's just luck, Most of the charcoal fires are just like that, and they haven’t figured it out yet, and if you go to such a far place, you will probably return in disappointment.”

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

Now he can't explain things like anthracite to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang probably won't believe it.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying, and seemed to compromise: "The Liao brothers used to work in Dingyang a few years ago, and they are familiar with that place. We can send them to Dingyang to check for you. I'll let them come to your side to listen to dispatch first, and if you have anything to do, just ask them."

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is in his sixties, and he really spoils his grandson so much.

"Okay, then I would like to thank Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Xiongying was also so happy, and he felt relieved when the Liao Brothers handled their affairs.

"Then when will you bring out your peach blossom wine for us to taste again?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked tentatively.

Zhu Xiongying narrowed his eyes, this old man has been thinking about it since he tasted the peach blossom brewed by himself last time, and this addiction is quite strong.

For the sake of the old man helping me today, I have to show some sincerity, don't I?
"Grandpa Huang will come back in seven days. The peach blossom wine should be brewed by then, and the taste will be just right. Grandpa Huang can drink as much as he wants!"

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

"Middle!" Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and applauded.

The two chatted a few more homely things, and Zhu Yuanzhang drove back to the palace happily.

Xu Da was still sweating profusely outside the door, afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would blame him for what happened tonight, but seeing the old man come out of Zhu Xiongying's other courtyard refreshed, he didn't look unhappy at all, and even Humming a little tune.

Xu Da had to lament that Zhu Xiongying is really capable!

Seven days later, Zhu Xiongying went to take out the altar of peach blossom wine that was buried in the backyard, guessing that it was just after the morning court.

Just as the side dishes were served and the wine was poured, I heard the sound of servants prostrating from the yard.

Zhu Xiongying was a little funny, this old man really came at the right time.

Zhu Yuanzhang came here smelling the aroma of wine from afar, sat down in the courtyard, picked up the wine bowl and drank it, and threw a peanut into his mouth after taking a sip, just like a big man drinking in a restaurant .

"Grandpa Huang, drink slowly and be careful not to choke."

"Hey, don't underestimate us. When we were young, we claimed to never get drunk. Many generals in the army who have practiced martial arts since childhood are not our opponents at the wine table!"

Zhu Xiongying suppressed a smile and nodded: "Yes, yes, Grandpa Huang is No. 1 in the ages when it comes to drinking!"

After the two were full of wine and food, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to do business.

The little eunuch who was recruited around spread out the memorial, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to deal with the official affairs reported by the court today.

"Come on, eldest grandson, grandpa Huang will teach you carefully today."

Zhu Xiongying obeyed orders rather than being respectful, and the two of them, the old and the young, wrote the memorandum directly on the stone table in the yard, and when they got excited, Zhu Yuanzhang directly took a sip from the wine bowl.

Zhu Xiongying suddenly caught a glimpse of a memorial presented by the household department, which contained the names of many officials, and beside it were some accounts and records of bank transactions.

After the flood in the Yellow River, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the household department to divide the court up and down four times a year. Officials, large and small, should remember the fields, houses, title deeds, and the number of slaves very clearly. Even which official has a dog in his home has to be recorded, all for the purpose of embezzlement.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated corruption the most in his life. He hated the officials under his command for self-serving and exploiting the common people. In recent years, the investigations have become stricter than before, and the punishments are heavier.

Zhu Xiongying narrowed his eyes, and suddenly saw Zhu Yuanzhang draw a stroke on Lan Yu's name with a vermilion pen.

Zhu Xiongying's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that Lanyu was dishonest in the early years. He indulged his domestic slaves to occupy the land in his own name, secretly colluded with the officials of the court, embezzled the army's salary, and bullied the people. In short, he did many illegal things. It can be said that it was repeatedly dancing on Zhu Yuanzhang's thunder point.

Can Zhu Yuanzhang finally can't bear it now?Are you going to punish Sapphire?

Lan Yu did not do anything out of the ordinary after listening to his advice during the Western Expedition, but the things he did before were enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to cut him several times.

If the value of sapphire has been exhausted, it will be a useless pawn in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and of course there is no need to keep it to occupy space.

Zhu Xiongying was in a complicated mood.

Sapphire is good to herself, and she gives away many treasures. Although this person is arrogant and domineering, she is always gentle and loving to herself. Now that she knows that Sapphire will suffer, Zhu Xiongying is hesitant to save her.

"Son, what are you thinking?" Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on Zhu Xiongying's forehead when he saw that Zhu Xiongying was in a daze after approving the memorial.

Zhu Xiongying felt the pain, and pursed his lips: "It's nothing, some unimportant things."

"Okay, then let's go back first, the court has too many official duties to deal with these days, and our grandparents will drink again another day!"

"Okay, Grandpa Huang, go slowly."

Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head, he didn't expect Zhu Xiongying to agree to drink so easily, and thought he was going to "Zhou Xuan" with him.

It seems that my grandson is really filial to himself, knowing that he is too busy to refuse.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little moved by his own thoughts.

At night, a ray of bright moonlight came in through the window and spilled onto the floor, which looked like broken silver on the ground from a distance.

Zhu Xiongying lay on the bed tossing and turning, his melancholy made him unable to sleep peacefully.

If he didn't save Lan Yu himself, there would be no one in the world who could save him.

It can be said to be quite miserable for such a fierce general like Lan Yu who made great achievements in battle, but ended up decapitated in the end.It would be great if Zhu Xiongying didn't know this respectable and hateful general, but he did, and Lan Yu treated him well.
