At the end of the mausoleum ceremony, Zhu Yuanzhang cordially met with the 20 mausoleum households who kept his parents' spirits and had breakfast with them.

There are three circles of the imperial mausoleum, and the outer earthen city is eighteen miles on Tuesday, of course, it is impossible to have only so many mausoleum households.

These twenty households are specially in the innermost imperial city, and they are dedicated to Boss Zhu's parents and parents, and they are all old villagers from the original Jinqiaokan.

What Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu De to join was their ranks.

"You all have to be good, just like what we told Liu De yesterday, don't waste the sacrifices after the offerings, eat them all." After eating, he took the hands of the villagers with emotion and said: "In the future, you will have to do nothing else for generations, just collect rent, eat wine and meat, and live happily." ”

Lao Zhu's shrewdness is always revealed inadvertently. He arranged it this way, so that these mausoleum households would provide for his father and mother with their hearts. If you don't let them eat the sacrifices...... Hehe, as he gets older, just think about it, and you will know how they will perfunctory his parents.

How good this is, they will do their best to procure, and they are also grateful to Dade, and they are all happy.

"Okay, let's get old with the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Alas, it's a pity that Wang Ganniang can't enjoy the same happiness as you." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed.

The crowd quickly darkened their faces and became grieved.

Wang Ganniang is the old mother of the Wang family who 'raised money for me, sent her sons, prepared fragrant liquor, and worshiped the Buddha at the empty door' in Zhu Yuanzhang's sacrificial text.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang almost starved to death on the way to eat, and was taken back to Huangjue Temple by the monk. But in the year of the great famine, there was no surplus food in the monk's temple. So the host refused to accept him at first, but later Aunt Wang found out and asked her son to send a shaving fee to the temple, and Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk as he wished.

Although less than two months later, Huangjue Temple stopped eating and let the monks go out to be traveling monks. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang became a Buddhist version of a beggar again......

But Boss Zhu has always been grateful to the people who helped him in the most difficult days. It's a pity that after he made his fortune, Aunt Wang had already died in the chaos.

Zhu Yuanzhang took her son Cao Xiu to his side and cultivated him carefully, and is currently the right lieutenant of his pro-army governor's mansion.

Cao Xiu was also on the side, listening to the emperor suddenly mention his wife, tears swept away.

"Cao Xiu, three brothers, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Xiu hurriedly wiped her tears and replied: "My brother, I am the second in line." ”

"How is your eldest brother?"

"Okay." Cao Xiu nodded hurriedly and said, "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, life is beautiful." ”

"That's good, that's good." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, closed his eyes slightly, seemed to think for a moment, and said: "My godmother's Wang family seems to be empty." ”

"Yes, they all died in the chaos." Cao Xiu nodded and wiped away tears.

"That's not good, how can my godmother's family cut off the incense?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Cao Xiu calmly and said, "From today onwards, you will change your surname to Wang...... simply changed the name together and called Wang Wen. ”

"Ah, it's ......" Cao Xiu was stunned, why didn't he pay attention and changed his name and surname?

But the bigger blow was still to come, so I heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue: "You don't have to go back to Nanjing, just stay here and be a mausoleum, and take care of the sacrifice." ”

"Ah......" Cao Xiu was stunned, and he didn't know how he knelt down to thank him.

From the deputy commander of the emperor's personal soldiers to the mausoleum that guards the soul of the emperor and his father, this gap is simply heaven and earth. The demotion of officials is not so ruthless......

The reason for being born to the emperor was high-sounding, and he couldn't even open his mouth to plead.

"Let's have a good life here." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he stopped looking at him and went straight to the imperial chariot.

When the emperor's imperial chariots all left the imperial tomb, Cao Xiu ...... Oh, now it's called Wang Wen, and he still kneels there, and he can't stand it for a long time.

The old villagers whispered in the distance, thinking that he must have annoyed the emperor, otherwise how could he be sent to guard the spirit?

Wang Wen knew in his heart that they guessed correctly, the emperor was punishing himself......

It turned out that when the Deqing Marquis Mansion was raided in the first month, his little caution had already been seen through by the emperor.

~~

On the way back, the six brothers were crammed into the chariot of the prince's chariot. It was inconvenient to speak in the imperial tomb just now, but now I can finally talk well.

Zhu Biao held the fifth child with his left hand, hugged the sixth child with his right hand, faced the second, third, and fourth children, and looked at this and that.

"Alas, it's all dark, thin, and the skin is rough, and the spirit is not bad."

"Ah, why did the sixth lose so much weight? What about your jaw? What about cheek raisers? What about a big little belly? It's gone......"

"Hey, I gained a little weight a while ago, but as a result, hey, don't mention it......" Zhu Zhen didn't want to talk about his tragic experience.

"It's okay, big brother will fatten you back again!" Zhu Biao comforted him and said: "Whoever says that you are fat in the future, I will help you slap him!" ”

"Hey, that's good." Zhu Zhen nodded happily. "You can just help me scare one person, and I'll do the rest by myself."

"Haha, no problem." The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, Zhu Biao looked at the third and fourth children again, and said distressedly: "You two have blue noses and swollen faces, it seems that you have also suffered a big crime." ”

"Hey, hey......" The third and fourth children laughed awkwardly, bowed their heads and didn't dare to pick up the stubble, obviously not wanting to mention their miserable experience.

But the second brother wouldn't help them hide it, and snorted angrily: "No, it wasn't someone else who did it." Yes, I beat it! ”

"Ah, why did you beat them?" The prince asked strangely.

"I hit, and the fight is light." Zhu Fan was angry and said: "He, they lied to me that the sixth child is dead." ”

"Huh?" The crown prince raised his voice abruptly.

"Big brother, don't listen to the second brother's nonsense." The third child hurriedly explained.

"That's right! How could we lie to the second brother? Others are so nice! The fourth child was also busy: "It's because every time we have a meeting, he sleeps!" Didn't you hear about our golden cicada's plan to get out of its shell, but you blame us? ”

"Yes, it's you, you need me to snore!" The second brother stiffened his neck and said: "Even if it is, I didn't know it at the time, but later, why did you keep it from me?" ”

"Who told you to 'go through your asshole with one gut - it's a straight tube'? Tell you, what should I do if I show my stuffing? The old three said with a heartbeat.

"That's it." It is rare for the fourth child to stand on the side of the third child.

"You, you are the heart!" Zhu Fan said indignantly: "As a result, yesterday, last night, I saw the sixth child on the sand boat, and I was so scared that I called Mom!" ”

"Not only did he call Mom, but he also hid behind King Ming's body......" The fourth couldn't help but laugh.

"I was so scared that I didn't stutter. Say 'don't come, don't come, I'm afraid of ghosts ......'" The third child also laughed.

"I, I'll beat you to death!" was so angry that the second child was about to draw his fist again.

"Big brother, help!" The third and fourth hurriedly hid behind the prince.

"Help?" But the prince held them down and said, "I want to beat people when I hear it!" ”

Saying that, he ordered Zhu Zhang: "Second brother, go on!" ”

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Fan finally had a helper and pounced excitedly.

The brothers burst into laughter. The third and fourth elders shouted for mercy, and the fifth and sixth were affected by the pond fish......

Thanks to the prince's chariot, it is extremely strong, otherwise it would have to fall apart!
