Things you look forward to take time to wait for.

In the summer of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, something that Zhu Yunxi had been looking forward to for a long time, after the passage of time and a long wait, finally came to witness the moment of expectation.

The end of June is already the hottest time of summer.

The entire outside of Yingtian City has turned into a golden field. In the fields, there are so many fruits that the rice stalks are bent.

Early in the morning.

Zhu Yunxi put on clothes with narrow sleeves and slim legs, and waited outside Qianqing Palace early.

During this period of time, the old man has really ignored the government affairs. It seems that what he said at the family banquet of the Zhu family that day was really implemented by him.

For several consecutive court meetings, the throne was empty.

Below are Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunxi, a prince of the Ming Dynasty and a grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, occasionally once or twice, Prince Zhu Biao would miss the court meeting.

When the general examination was about to begin and everyone from the world came to answer the question, something like this happened in the court, which had aroused speculation among the courtiers. However, the emperor was still alive and well, which made the civil and military officials above the court dare not Submit a memorial to ask the emperor about the reason why he has not appeared at the court meeting several times in succession.

Sun Gou'er, the steward of the inner palace, walked out of the Qianqing Palace. When he saw Zhu Yunxi waiting in front of the palace gate, he immediately quickened his pace with a bright smile on his face.

"Slave, please see the third master."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Grandpa, are you up?"

Sun Gou'er nodded and said: "I got up early in the morning. Your Majesty went to bed very early last night. But I never thought that the Third Master would come earlier."

As he spoke, Sun Gouer couldn't help but look up at the sky.

At this time, behind the outline of the mountain on the other side of Shenlie Mountain, you can only see a faint dark red color.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Today is the harvest day of summer grain in Laoshan Palace. The Tian family loves farmers and mulberry trees, so we should get up early like farmers."

Sun Gou'er smiled and nodded, and was about to speak when the emperor's voice came from the palace behind him.

"But Yunxi is here?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately passed over his grandson Gou'er, bowed and replied loudly into the hall: "Return to grandpa, it's your grandson who is here."

"You are so reserved right now. Come on in."

Zhu Yuanzhang's somewhat joking voice came out from the hall again.

Zhu Yunxi stopped and looked at Sun Gouer silently.

The emperor's palace is far from comparable to the Zhongji Palace.

I can enter there anytime and anywhere without notice, but the emperor's palace can no longer be so unimpeded without caution.

Sun Gouer immediately lowered his head and whispered: "Your Majesty slept alone last night."

Zhu Yunxi nodded immediately, then straightened up and smiled, and said something to the palace before walking in.

When he entered the palace, he saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had already opened his arms and stood in front of a huge bronze mirror. Several palace maids dressed him in a linen garment that had been patched with countless patches. The stitches on the patches were no better than his usual ones.

The patchwork linen clothes worn inside are exquisite.

I saw Zhu Yunxi walking in.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced sideways and hummed twice: "These are the clothes your grandma made for us when she was still alive. There are nine pieces in total. At that time, we wore them all day long, but now we are even more reluctant to put them on easily."

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward, gently waved his hand, and drove away several palace maids who were waiting for the old man to dress him. He stretched out his hand to smooth his clothes and adjust his position.

He whispered: "After reading the Ming Dynasty several times, my grandson thinks that grandpa is the most loving person. Grandma has no regrets if she can have you by her side throughout her life."

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted Zhu Yunxi's hand away, lifted up his waist, and then walked out of the palace: "Your grandma was seriously ill back then. Before she left, she held our hand and said that she was the most regretful person in her life.

I just can’t see you guys growing up."

Zhu Yunxi's cheeks couldn't help but twitch, he glanced around, and then stepped forward to support the old man's arm: "Etiquette and rules cannot be abolished. If word spreads, if there is an unmarried pregnancy in the East Palace, the grandson will be shameless.

, but my family's reputation is not good. Just wait for another two years, and you will be tired of a bunch of great-grandchildren surrounding you all day long."

This is not the first time that the old man has urged his great-grandson.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang ignored the government affairs, the emperor's great-grandson became his target.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and glared at Zhu Yunxi sideways, and snorted coldly: "As long as you work hard, let's see who dares to find fault in front of us!"

The old man has given up everything in order to have the emperor's great-grandson in his arms.

Zhu Yunxi's scalp felt numb for a while, so he had to change his words quickly: "Grandpa, the entire village of Laoshan Palace is busy today, just waiting for you to come over."

At this time, the grandfather and grandson had already walked out of the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped, turned around and stared at Zhu Yunxi with a faint look: "A few days ago, you boy encouraged us to go to Laoshan Imperial Manor, I'm afraid it's not just for us to take a look at this year's harvest."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and smiled at the old man: "That can't be done. How dare my grandson deceive you? It's just that before the winter came last year, my grandson got a few new things and put them over at Huangzhuang. I guess this year Huangzhuang will

The harvest over there should be quite large, so I specially wanted grandpa to see the harvest with his own eyes."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were already cautiously scanning around the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Is it the bookstore you run? The article in the first issue of "Xin Xue - Unity of Knowledge and Action" seems to be highly discussed in Yingtian now?"

In front of the old man, the Ming Dynasty was transparent, and Yingtian City had no secrets.

With the publication of the first issue of the bookstore's newspaper, it has been more than half a month now. Xie Jin has not issued the second issue of the newspaper. According to his explanation, it is to build momentum and then publish the follow-up. article.

As Zhu Yunxi expected, the article on the unity of knowledge and action in the first issue caused a wave of craze in Yingtian City and even the world.

Or it can be said to be an uproar.

The disciples of Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism, who had been castrated since the Song Dynasty, suddenly faced an article that asked them to unite knowledge and practice, or a criticism. You can imagine how moved and angry their reaction was.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "This just proves that our Ming Dynasty's culture and education are prosperous, and my grandfather has extraordinary merits."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud immediately, stretched out his hand and tapped Zhu Yunxi on the head: "The door of that boy Jie Jin's house would have been smashed. If you hadn't let him live in the row of houses in front of Wenhua Hall with his family recently, I’m afraid that boy can’t leave the house anymore.”

Zhu Yunxi bowed and nodded: "It's just a debate among literati, not a big deal."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly put away his smile and said solemnly: "Knowing and doing are one! We looked at it very carefully, and we also deeply agree. Since you said it was a dispute between literati, let that boy Xie Jin deal with it by himself. ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded silently.

The old man has decided that this Confucian transformation, which he personally concocted, is a fight between literati and has nothing to do with the old Zhu family.

Similarly, this matter, at least for now, is confined to the realm of scholars in the world, rather than rising above the court.

In short, Lao Zhu's family now has to sit on the sidelines and decide the final solution based on the future direction of the fight.

Zhu Yunxi didn't like this method very much, but he couldn't refuse.

He had no choice but to really kill all the scholars in the world who opposed the transformation of Confucianism.

The great man once said that the road is tortuous, but the future is bright.

Zhu Yunxi feels that this matter also has a bright future.

He then moved closer to the old man and whispered: "My grandson thinks that since my family can change the Central Plains, it can also change this current matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand and patted Zhu Yunxi on the back of the head: "Let's go quickly. Wait a little while, and the old men in the court will enter the palace to invite you."

While talking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to glare at Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi smiled. The reason why he chose to take the old man out of the palace today was to prevent the petitions from the old court officials who wanted to enter the palace today to petition for the seizure of data, as well as the petitions from the scholars.

The letter was presented to the old man.

As long as the matter does not appear in front of the old man, it cannot be regarded as government affairs.

Here, he continued to support the old man and walked towards Xuanwu Gate.

Because Laoshan Imperial Village is on the river bank in the north of Yingtian City, you can go out through Xuanwu Gate, then exit the city through Taiping Gate, and go all the way north to Huangzhuang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunxi arrived outside Xuanwu Gate, they saw several people already waiting outside the city gate.

Yuan Sutai, the right eunuch of Shanglinyuan Prison, received the order from his grandson yesterday, and rushed outside Xuanwu Gate early today, leading the officials of Shanglinyuan Prison to wait until now.

Seeing their grandson accompanying them for a long time, His Majesty the Emperor, who had not been able to see him for a long time, walked out from behind the Xuanwu Gate with a kind look on his face.

Yuan Sutai immediately led the people forward.

"I'm going to the right eunuch of the Linyuan Prison, Yuan Sutai, to see your majesty and to see the great grandson."

"I will see your majesty and my grandson."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Let's get up."

After finishing speaking, he turned questioning eyes to Zhu Yunxi who was following him.

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and pointed at Yuan Sutai and others to explain: "Everyone in Shanglinyuan Supervisor is really capable. Last year, Zuo Supervisor personally led people to southern Xinjiang and died in danger.

I have returned a lot of seeds, and my grandson thinks they are of great use. Yuan Jianzheng is also proficient in the art of grain and vegetables, so today my grandson asked them to go to Huangzhuang to have a look."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Yuan Sutai and others, nodded affirmatively and said: "Food is the most important thing for the people, and the hard work of the Shanglinyuan Supervisor is the best."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Sun Gouer to take him to the carriage in front of the city gate.

However, Yuan Sutai and others were already extremely excited.

The fact that the supervisor of Shanglinyuan can receive His Majesty's recognition of his hard work and meritorious service far exceeds all rewards.
