Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Limited by technical conditions, the northernmost railway of the Ming Dynasty now only reaches to the south of the desert, beyond the Great Wall!

Due to the obstruction of the vast desert and the geological reasons of the grassland area, the railway from the south to the north of the desert cannot be continued!

With the improvement and development of industrial technology in the future, perhaps trains will be available in Mobei, but at least not now!

Three days later, Saiga Sutusan set out from Shuntian Prefecture and took a train directly to Mo Nan!

The journey was not that stressful, but rather very smooth.

However, after arriving in the south of the desert, we had to change to horse-drawn carriages, and the cement road was also intermittent. Most areas were through deserts and grasslands, so it was obviously very painful to travel all the way!

However, when Saiga Sutusan, who was sitting in the carriage, thought that he would soon see his son whom he had not seen for decades, and his grandson whom he had never met, the hardship of traveling was nothing!

Mobei, Ulan City.

"What did you say?"

"Is Concubine Su coming to Mobei?"

Zhu Xiafeng was stunned when he got the news that Saiga Sutusan had left Shuntian and came to Mobei!

It's not that he doesn't know how history develops. He knows very well that in the original history, his father Emperor Zhu Li never agreed to let his mother return to Mobei!

What happened this time?

"Father, isn't this just right?"

"Since the Empress Dowager is back, she will stay in Mobei permanently and there is no need to go back!"

Zhu Jianhe on the side also reminded with excitement on his face.

What he was most worried about before was that his father would worry about this and that and would always be hesitant!

What worried Zhu Xiafeng the most was that his biological mother was still in the Daming Palace. How could a son not have concerns?

But now, with Saiga Sutusan coming to Mobei, this concern is gone!

Although Zhu Jianhe had no relationship with his grandfather and grandmother, this was also a good thing for him!

"unusual!"

"Your Royal Grandfather would never send your Royal Grandmother back to Mobei for no reason!"

"Did you say what the name was?"

Zhu Xiafeng frowned and continued to ask the person who came to report the news.

"They said that they wanted Concubine Su to return home and spend her remaining years in peace!"

The visitor reported again.

"Live out your life in peace?"

"You're here and you won't leave?"

Zhu Xiafeng widened his eyes in surprise!

If Saiga Sutusan just came here and then returned to Shuntian soon, that would be understandable!

But if we just stay in Mobei, that would be too abnormal!

To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to his father Zhu Li directly sending back to him a trump card that can control him!

He couldn't understand this move at all!

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"Haven't you always wanted to reunite with Grandma Huang and her son?"

"Why do you seem unhappy that the Empress Dowager is back?"

Zhu Jianhe looked at Zhu Xiafeng's surprised expression and felt a little puzzled.

"What do you know?"

“This is not normal!”

"There's no reason for your Royal Grandfather to let your Royal Grandmother come back!"

Zhu Xiafeng glared at Zhu Jianhe unhappily. This kid is good in every way except that he is a straightforward person and has no brains at all!

"So do you want to welcome the return of the Empress?"

"If you have to worry so much, you might as well let the Empress go back directly!"

Zhu Jianhe, however, curled his lips in disapproval.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your grandmother finally came back, how could she possibly go back again?"

"Immediately arrange for people to prepare to welcome your Imperial Grandmother!"

Zhu Xiafeng glared at Zhu Jianhe with an unpleasant expression and gave orders.

"That's right, why think so much?"

"This is a good thing for you!"

Zhu Jianhe really couldn't understand why his father was so worried about gains and losses.

"And you, when your grandmother arrives in Mobei, you must learn etiquette and be filial. Do you understand?"

"If I find out that you have neglected your grandmother, I will whip you!"

As if he was still unsure about Zhu Jianhe, Zhu Xiafeng warned him again with concern!

This brat basically doesn't take anyone seriously except him and his mother!

If we don't give it a warning, it might go against the will of heaven in the future!

"Got it, you can rest assured!"

Zhu Jianhe made these assurances solemnly, but he was somewhat disapproving in his heart.

More than half a month later, Saigasutusan's team arrived outside the city.

Zhu Xiafeng even personally led Zhu Jianhe and thousands of cavalrymen out of the city hundreds of miles to welcome them, and arranged a grand welcome ceremony for Saiga Sutusan in the city!

Especially the dignitaries of the Junggar tribe were all present!

After all, Saiga Sutusan once came from the Junggar tribe, and these old people in the Junggar tribe have the deepest feelings for her!

Including Zhu Xiafeng’s uncle, Saiga Sutusan’s second brother!

"Your son... pays respect to your mother!"

Even though Zhu Xiafeng has become a dominant force in Mobei, he still couldn't contain his excitement when he saw his mother again after decades. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Saiga Sutusan!

"Feng'er...get up quickly!"

"Let me take a good look!"

Saiga Sutusan was even more excited. He stepped forward and helped Zhu Xiafeng up. His eyes kept looking up and down at this rough man who was now middle-aged!

How old was Zhu Xiafeng when he just left Beijing to become a fiefdom?

Her appearance and temperament have changed so much that even her mother Saiga Sutusan can hardly recognize her!

But after all, blood is thicker than water!

Saiga Sutusan looked at Zhu Xiafeng's now resolute face and couldn't help but shed tears!

"Mom, we're home!"

Zhu Xiafeng held Saiga Sutusan's hand and said excitedly.

"Grandson Zhu Jianhe pays homage to the Empress!"

At this moment, Zhu Jianhe also took a few steps forward and knelt down to pay his respects to Saigasutusan!

"Good boy... Is this my grandson?"

"Hurry, let grandma take a good look!"

Upon hearing this, Saiga Sutusan became even more excited and pulled Zhu Jianhe to look at him!

As Zhu Li had said before, this kid is exactly like Zhu Xiafeng back then!

Zhu Jianhe was obviously not used to Saiga Sutusan's excitement and enthusiasm, and his body became a little stiff.

If Zhu Jianhe hadn't seen Zhu Xiafeng's sharp warning eyes, he might have lost control!

It was not easy to return to the palace.

The whole family, including Saigatur'e and his family, as well as several surviving old people from the former Junggar tribe who were familiar with Saiga Sutusan, all came.

Everyone gathered together, sang and danced, ate and drank to their heart's content, and welcomed the return of Saiga Sutusan in the most simple way of the grassland people!

At this moment, Saiga Sutusan's face once again showed a long-lost smile that had not been seen for many years!

After all the noise ended and everyone started to disperse, Saiga Sutusan's smile faded and he called Zhu Xiafeng to his side alone.

"Mom, have you been living well in the palace these years?"

Zhu Xiafeng also wanted to ask his mother privately about her life over the years. He was still very concerned about his biological mother.

"Everything is fine, but I'm worried about you!"

"But seeing you like this now, Mom suddenly remembered the time when you were little and we lived on the grassland!"

“But it feels a little different!”

"Now you have grown up and are the king of this grassland!"

Saiga Sutusan looked at Zhu Xiafeng in front of him, sighed softly with a complicated expression.

"Why? Isn't this good?"

"Mom doesn't seem very happy?"

Zhu Xiafeng felt a tightness in his heart when he saw Saiga Sutusan's lost look.

"Do you think that a mother should be happy?"

"Although I have been in the deep palace for these years, I have heard a lot about you!"

"Especially in recent years, many people have been saying that you secretly have rebellious intentions!"

"When mom asks you, you must tell mom the truth!"

"Are you really planning to establish yourself as emperor in Mobei?"

Saiga Sutusan glanced around and confirmed that there were no other outsiders. Then he questioned Zhu Xiafeng with a serious face.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiafeng fell silent.

He knew that Saiga Sutusan would definitely ask these questions, but it was somewhat difficult for him, as a son, to say them!

Rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and proclaiming himself emperor is tantamount to rebelling against his father Zhu Li!

Can Saiga Sutusan accept such a result?

Obviously not!

Besides, in fact, he didn't have the idea or ability to rebel against his own father!

So he has to wait!

When Zhu Li really retires from the throne, even if he is already the emperor emeritus, his psychological burden will not be so heavy!

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Xiafeng has been holding back all these years!

But Saiga Sutusan had no idea about these reasons, and he was afraid that his own mother would not understand!

“Human ambition is limitless!”

"Now that you have it all, you'll want more!"

"But you should understand that this may ruin you, and even ruin the great situation that the entire grassland has created now!"

"Can't you just let go of these ambitions and desires and live a good life?"

Seeing Zhu Xiafeng's silence, Saiga Sutusan seemed to have understood something and tried to persuade Zhu Xiafeng anxiously.

She really didn't want to see things like father and son or brothers killing each other happen to her husband and son!

"Mom, my son has his own difficulties!"

"You've said it before. The entire Ming Dynasty is saying that I, the Wind Prince, have evil ambitions. Do you think that if my son is willing to live a good life, they will really let down their guard against him?"

"Your son may not be afraid or may not care, but what about your grandson? What about your descendants?"

"Can't they be afraid or not care?"

"Son, you must leave a way out for your offspring!"

Zhu Xiafeng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"So, this is why you rebelled?"

Saiga Sutusan's expression suddenly became serious, and he questioned in a sharp tone.

"Even if I don't do this, the people below won't agree!"

"You might as well ask your uncle, and ask the nobles and generals of the Junggar tribe what they think!"

"If my son doesn't do this, then sooner or later Mobei will return to its previous divided state, and people's hearts will be divided from then on!"

"My son is now able to gain a foothold in Mobei, and it is inseparable from the support of these people!"

"And what they want, my son must give them!"

"Otherwise, why would these people follow your son so wholeheartedly?"

"Children must have unlimited possibilities. They must be able to see hope and more expectations!"

Zhu Xiafeng explained to Saiga Sutusan seriously.

"Impossible... I'm not sure about others, but your uncle is definitely not someone who is so short-sighted!"

Saiga Sutusan, however, shook his head repeatedly in disbelief.

"Don't jump to conclusions. My son said that if you don't believe it, you can find a chance to ask your uncle!"

"Do you know that in order to support my son, these tribes almost used the young and strong people of the entire tribe as bargaining chips, and fought bloody battles with my son on the battlefield, which led to the establishment of today's Mobei!"

"The blood of the young men of each tribe is almost drained, but they are still only under the command of the king of a corner!"

"With their contributions and military exploits, if they were court officials, they would have long been qualified to be made marquises or prime ministers!"

"A king of a corner is still just a king after all!"

"Now the child cannot give them more glory and wealth!"

"But I must at least let them see that I am still willing to fight for that position. Only if I sit in that position will I be able to help them get promoted!

"This is also the reason why they are willing to use the young and strong people of the entire clan as bargaining chips!"

Zhu Xiafeng had no choice but to continue explaining to Saiga Sutusan.

After saying this, Saiga Sutusan fell into silence.

Zhu Xiafeng's words had such a strong impact on her!

She had never imagined that the situation on the grassland would be so complicated, and she had never imagined that Zhu Xiafeng would be under such tremendous pressure!

A sense of helplessness surged in her heart, but more of it was heartache!

From every word Zhu Xiafeng said just now, she heard the helplessness and struggle coming from her son's heart!

She could sense that Zhu Xiafeng didn't want to do this either!

But the situation forced him to do so!

To put it bluntly, everything is beyond our control!

"So, what are your plans next?"

After a long silence, Saiga Sutusan's tone finally softened.

Obviously, she had been deeply touched by Zhu Xiafeng's words just now, and could understand her son's helplessness!

"Now, I have five sons, and I have arranged marriages for them with the five largest tribes on the grassland!"

"This way, at least one of these five tribes will be crowned king in the future!"

"Don't worry, at least for now, my son doesn't have that thought!"

"A son will never rebel against his father!"

Zhu Xiafeng naturally knew what Saiga Sutusan was most worried about, and he also made a promise to her!

But if you understand this sentence in reverse, that is, if his biological father is no longer in that position, he is bound to cause others to rebel!
