In the Jinling City Mansion, there is a high watchtower.

In the past, when he had nothing to do, Zhu Yuanzhang always liked to climb this watchtower, so as to look down on the prosperous and splendid ancient capital of the six dynasties in Jinling City.

It has been said that "every founding emperor in the world has the strongest desire to conquer in the world." This sentence may not necessarily be true, but Zhu Yuanzhang is really so.

Whenever he climbed a tall building, looked out from afar by the railing, and looked at the ups and downs of the beautiful rivers and mountains in the distance, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel agitated, as if he was the god between heaven and earth, controlling everything and dominating everything.

But today, looking at it from afar, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, which is always full of infinite fighting spirit, can't help but feel like ashes.

In the end, no miracle happened, and perhaps as others said, destiny was not blessed on him. Perhaps, there has never been any so-called destiny in the world, whether he is or Zhang Shihua, but they are all "mortals" who have taken advantage of the situation in troubled times.

The beacon fire in the distance came into view, the city gate was broken, and the black wave poured into the city, he stood alone on the tall building and watched all this, but his mind began to involuntarily think of his career as a horse for so many years, the joy of the bride he was appreciated in Bozhou, and the struggle to survive in the troubled times, and the bleak childhood that he was most unwilling to recall.

This scene surged in his mind. Finally, he couldn't help but laugh.

He felt that his life was at least exciting enough. He experienced the worst things in the world like a lamb to the slaughter, and then successfully reversed his fate and became a prince of a land. In this life, for him, it was not in vain.

So he laughed, even though he was going to die soon.

But I feel that I can at least be a hero, even if he dies, he will leave a small corner for himself in the history books, so that future generations will know his name.

At least he didn't come and go, like his father did. There is no man in the world, and he does not know his name, but he is like the dirt of the earth, and he is very low.

He laughed until the sound of familiar footsteps sounded behind him and a woman walked up to the attic.

At this point, he finally put away the smile on his face, and his expression showed loneliness, "I'm really sorry for you." ”

Turning around, looking at the woman who didn't look so beautiful, the sadness on his face couldn't help but become more and more intense.

This is the only woman he cares about, recalling the scenes of mutual support between husband and wife, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help but get wet, tears were left from them, and he no longer saw the slightest pride in the past.

picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her husband's eyes, "I heard that husband and wife are two people who should share hardships and live and die together. We are one, so what is worthy of being sorry. ”

"Haha" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled miserably when he heard this, and forced a smile on his face. Then he couldn't help but hug the woman and poured her into his arms, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for." He said he didn't ask his three sons anymore.

He just hugged her and stood quietly in the attic and looked out over the railing. He loved this woman, but he wouldn't say a word of love. But what pale words did they need between the two, hugging her, looking in the direction of their hometown, the flames couldn't help but bloom under their feet little by little.

……

"King, we found Zhu ...... Wu Guogong and his wife, let the servants in the house confirm their identities, there is no doubt that they should be husband and wife. ”

"King, King......"

"I heard you," Mr. Zhang said.

Then, he couldn't help but sigh, but he still couldn't help but feel a lingering dullness in his heart.

"In the end, this is a national hero, collect the corpses of their husbands and wives, and bury them with the rites of a prince."

"Yes!"

The soldier was ordered to retreat, but then a man walked in.

"King Qiqi, so that the king knows that half an hour ago, the villain found a carriage in the north of the city and found the third son of Wu Guogong hiding in the car."

"What. Haha, good, good. When Zhang Shihua heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "Order, settle them well." You must not let three children have an accident, understand? ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

When the soldier heard this, he didn't dare to delay, and said yes awe-inspiringly.

Then, Zhang Shihua looked at the soldiers who slowly withdrew from the camp, and the dullness in his heart was finally lightened.

"I will treat your sons well, and the marquis of ten thousand households that I promised you will be inherited by the three of them. At least, it won't make you cut off the incense offerings. ”

Looking at Jinling City, Zhang Shihua said softly, but it seemed that he was comforting himself.

……

In the nineteenth year of the year, August. Taizu Bingke Jinling, Yuan Zhang refused to surrender, and died of self-immolation with his wife Ma and the west attic of Fuzhong. However, Taizu was benevolent, loved his talents, and named his three sons as a wait. His eldest son, Zhu Biao, was given the title of Fengyanghou, with 4,000 households; The second son, Zhu Zhang, was given the title of Taiping, with 3,000 households; Jizi Zhu Li, who was named Chun'an, also had 3,000 households. The marquis of the three sons are all hereditary, and the benevolence and virtue are obvious, and the ancients have never been.

In September of the same year, Taizu passed on Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang. Shicheng knew that virtue was not as good as Taizu, and Wei was not as good as Taizu, so he surrendered with the crowd. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Taizu was grateful for his deep understanding of righteousness, so he canonized him as the Duke of Xu, living in the capital, with ten thousand stones and ten thousand households.

Subsequently, Taizu sent Bai Xi, Ming Yuzhen, and Zhang Hui, the king of Zhou, to conquer Chen Youding and Pingzhangyan in Fujian. In March alone, Fujian was owned by Taizu. Guangyue and other places in the south of the Yangtze River saw this, and when they heard the wind, they fell down, although the south of the Yangtze River was determined.

Twenty years, in January, auspicious times appeared frequently, and hundreds of officials played, all of whom advised Taizu to obey the will of heaven and call him the emperor.

Taizu was reluctant to accept it at first, and said: "I heard that the emperor and sage have it, but now the north is undecided, and the Tartars are not peaceful, so I dare not be the emperor." ”

However, the ministers all said: "The king is subtle, punishes the tyrannical rebellion, pacifies the south of the Yangtze River, and the meritorious ones are all rewarded and become princes." The king does not respect the title, and they all doubt it. The ministers will defend it to the death. ”

Taizu Sanrang, as a last resort, said: "All the monarchs will think it is convenient, and the country will be convenient." That is, the emperor is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the country name is "Xia".

The first year of summer, July. Taizu should be in the providence of heaven and the people's will to spread the Central Plains, do "Seek the Central Plains", the book "expel the Tartars, rejuvenate China", and order the generals in the country to lead 300,000 soldiers, take Shandong first, withdraw the shield, move the troops to the two rivers, break its fence, pull out the Tong Pass and guard it, and strangle its household threshold.

Within two years, Taizu's soldiers came to the capital, and Emperor Yuan's son only went north to hunt. Most of the capital is gram, and the world is flat.

……

For another 20 years, it reached Balmali (Siberia) in the north, Siam in the south, Hamili (Hami) in the west, and the sea in the east. The country of civilization is a country of civilization. So much so that people at the time praised and said: "Huang Xia mixed a sea and Yu, more than three generations and the Han and Tang Dynasties, the sky and the polar earth, no concubines." The west of its western regions and the north of the north are far away, and the journey can be calculated. If the overseas countries are really far away, they are all praised and retranslated to the court. Show the demeanor of a great country. ”

In the 40th year of Xia, Taizu lived in the North Palace, and when he was dying, he called the prince and the important ministers to the bed, stated his will, taught the prince, and issued an edict, "I have been in the destiny of heaven for 40 years, and I have been anxious and accumulated, and I have been diligent every day, so as to benefit the people." Nai is from a humble beginning, without the knowledge of the ancients, good and evil, not far away. Now we have the natural principle of all things, and there is a sense of ridicule and sorrow. The crown prince "Xi" is benevolent and filial, the world is in the heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to the throne. Internal and external civil and military ministers work together to assist the government to reassure our people. Funeral rituals, no gold and jade. The mountains and rivers of the tomb are not changed because of this. The subjects of the world, crying for three days, are all relieved, and there is no harm in marrying. The kings are in the kingdom, and they do not go to the capital. Those who are not in the order will be pushed to do so. ”

After speaking, he suddenly said to the left and right: "My merits can be judged by future generations!" After that, Taizu shielded the prince and the ministers, and after a while, Taizu was the dragon Bintian.
