Half a month later, Zhu Yuanzhang and his group returned to Nanjing with Zhu Xiongying.

Cars and horses entered Nanjing.

Some good officials saw Zhu Yuanzhang's excessive love for Zhu Xiongying, so they thought of taking credit for it and encouraged Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, this child has no name or distinction, and now he has been brought back to Beijing, what is His Majesty's plan?"

On weekdays, Zhu Yuanzhang hated these talkative officials the most, leaving aside major state affairs and interfering in his "household affairs" every day.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the high platform and said coldly: "I feel that I have a close relationship with this child, and the child is innocent. Since this child is lucky enough to be picked up by me, it is also a kind of fate bestowed by God. Naturally, we must take good care of him." placed."

The official naturally saw Zhu Yuanzhang's disgust, and didn't dare to say anything more for a while.

So the minister of the Ministry of Rites stood up again, and said, "I don't know how His Majesty will arrange for the child? In Yichen's opinion, since the child is innocent, His Majesty should arrange it well, so as to show His Majesty's benevolent heart of loving the people like a son."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "My lords also know that I really love this child. Since I have decided to bring him back to Beijing, I must find a good place for him."

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to say this, and everyone knew it. Now that the child still has Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, it is naturally a piece of sweet pastry. From this point of view, this is also a good opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune.

The main thing is that if this child is still favored by Zhu Yuanzhang for a day, then the whole family will also benefit from it...

"Your Majesty is wise, you really want to find someone to adopt for your child."

As soon as this remark came out, the officials present also made small calculations.

Yang Zhong, the servant of the Ministry of War, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also really like this child, why don't you adopt this child to my house."

"Master Yang is busy with military affairs, so it's hard to take good care of this child. Why don't we let the minister to raise this child!"

……

In an instant, the hall began to quarrel again.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he had a headache.

They are really fools, cowardly and timid on weekdays, only greedy for petty gain, and they are about to make suggestions and solve national affairs, but they can't let out a fart in a daze!
Xu Da stood up at this time: "If Your Majesty can trust the old minister, you can hand over this child to the humble minister to raise him. Although the humble minister is old, but fortunately his body is still strong, raising this child is not a problem."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this sentence. In his opinion, if he really wanted to find someone to raise Zhu Xiongying, Xu Da was indeed the perfect candidate.

"I do have this intention. Duke Wei has worked hard all his life for the country and the people. He is upright and a model in the court. I can't rest assured that this child will be raised by Duke Wei."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at the little guy Zhu Xiongying in his arms and looked at him with a pair of black and bright eyes. The two looked at each other, and Zhu Xiongying smiled at him.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw the child smiling, he felt that no matter how much troubles he had, he could temporarily let go of them. This child is really more spiritual than those panacea medicines.

Xu Da cupped his hands and saluted: "I must do my best to take good care of the child, and I will definitely not let down His Majesty's wishes."

"Of course I trust Duke Wei." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

In this way, Zhu Xiongying was arranged to enter the Duke's Mansion, and was raised by Xu Da himself.

Seeing Xu Da taking Zhu Xiongying in his arms, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very reluctant.

The little guy in his arms ate and lived with him for several months, and now he is going to be taken care of by others, and he has never been so sad in his heart.

Besides, this is very likely to be his grandson...

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was almost certain that Zhu Xiongying was his grandson who had disappeared for more than half a year, out of caution as a ruler, he had to be cautious.

Furthermore, if Zhu Yuanzhang really carried back a child he picked up from nowhere during his southern tour, and said that he was the grandson of the emperor, I am afraid it would not be convincing.

What's more, the news that the emperor's grandson's whereabouts were unknown back then spread wildly, and the news of the emperor's death has long been known to the world, but now he has found the emperor's grandson again.I don't know how those ministers in the court objected.

Maybe there will be a death to show his ambition.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang can overcome all opinions and make Zhu Xiongying the crown prince, he will make too many enemies in the court, which may not be a good thing for his grandson.

Although that Zhu Xiongying's unique birthmark had made Zhu Yuanzhang almost certain of Zhu Xiongying's identity, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was definitely not the time to reveal the mystery of Zhu Xiongying's life experience.

Hence, handing over to Xu Da is the most appropriate way.

It's just that when I think of not being able to see Zhu Xiongying all the time in the future, I feel really sad...

Xu Da hugged Zhu Xiongying.

The little guy was looking around in his arms, not knowing what he was looking at, and his clever appearance made Xu Da laugh out loud.

Zhu Xiongying was lamenting the magnificence of the Duke's Mansion!
This time it was really an eye-opener for me. The land area of ​​the Duke's Mansion is estimated to be several hundred acres, right?
The back garden, rockery, guest rooms, bathhouses, pavilions and pavilions are all available, it is simply a fairyland on earth!
Zhu Xiongying suddenly felt that all the places of interest were weak.

Zhu Xiongying never thought that her fate would be so good, and she would find such a unique and powerful backer.

Although I still want to rely on my own ability to achieve a counterattack, it is not a bad thing to have a strong backer.

"In this case, this child must be taken care of by Wei Guogong." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying, and pinched his little face with eyes full of reluctance.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission." Xu Da leaned forward and replied.

"After I return to the palace, I will definitely come and see this child in my spare time. I really don't want to part with this child..." Zhu Yuanzhang seldom said such emotional words.

In the eyes of the world, this emperor has always been ruthless and tough. It is rare to see that he has the emotions of ordinary people, and he seems invulnerable.

Xu Da nodded, but did not speak.

Zhu Xiongying was also grateful to Zhu Yuanzhang for taking care of him for so long, and reached out to touch Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, turned and left.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

After sending Zhu Yuanzhang away, Xu Da looked at Zhu Xiongying in his arms with mixed feelings in his heart.

I already knew the child's life experience but kept it a secret. I took the initiative to adopt it in the hope that when the situation changes in the future and when the power struggles, I can have a strong bargaining chip in my hand.

But after suffering from this child, I can't let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors because of his own selfish desires...

"Son, Elder Father is sorry for you, but don't worry, as long as Elder Father is still here, this world will take good care of you for a day..."
