In front of the grave of the Yellow Iron Ox.

An old man and a young man stood side by side, and behind them were the Liao brothers in civilian clothes.

Huang Xiongying lit three sticks of incense and bowed:

"Dad, let's come to see you, look at who is coming, and the old man you admire the most is also here."

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly and paid tribute to the deceased.

The Liao brothers secretly smacked their tongues, this yellow iron cow can really smoke green, and the old man of the emperor came to worship him in person.

"Dad, you have worked hard all your life, conscientious, and in the end you have not enjoyed a few years of happiness, I hope you can enjoy happiness in heaven, and you can cast into a good family in the next life, preferably Tianhuang noble, no longer have to work so hard......"

Huang Xiongying said while burning paper.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side listened, and it was inevitable that there would be a sadness in his heart.

Although his son is a nobleman, he is also conscientious and has worked hard all his life.

From the age of thirteen, Zhu Biao was made the crown prince.

Since then, the 25-year-long road to the prince has begun.

The old prince has always been the most difficult to be, he has to face the emperor on the top, take care of his brothers and courtiers on the bottom, and shoulder everyone's fist expectations, and the slightest mistake will cause rumors.

However, Zhu Biao did a good job and could be called perfect.

He did not disappoint the emperor, did not disappoint the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and did not disappoint his younger brothers.

He is the greatest pride of the old man's life.

He was supposed to open up the Ming Dynasty, which was unparalleled in its glory and the sun and moon were eternal.

But now it's all gone......

After burning the paper, Huang Xiongying looked back at the old man with a sad face, and comforted: "Old man, don't be sad, it's a person, he has to die, it's the most honorable prince of our Ming Dynasty, didn't he die not long ago?" ”

"When you die, everything is over, but those who are alive must live well."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, those who are alive must live well!" ”

Time cannot erase sorrow, it can only hide sorrow deeply.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has been relieved a lot, what he needs now is to look forward, to find an excellent successor to the Ming Dynasty he founded, and then use the rest of his life to clear all obstacles for this successor.

Looking at Huang Xiongying, Zhu Yuanzhang asked slowly:

"Kid, can you tell us about you and ...... Your daddy's business? ”

"Grandpa, tell you something, don't get excited, in fact, ......"

Huang Xiongying thought about it, and finally said: "Actually, I am not my father's biological child!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened suddenly.

"Don't get excited, old man."

Huang Xiongying hurriedly comforted Zhu Yuanzhang: "Although I am not biological, I treat my father the same as my father, and I will treat you as my own grandfather in the future." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this familiar and unfamiliar face in a daze.

Resemble!

It's too much like his grandson!

And he can see that this child's feelings for him can't be faked.

The most important thing in this life is the family.

This kid didn't know that he was Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he really regarded himself as a family member.

However, when it comes to the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty, he has to be 10,000 times more cautious.

"Good boy."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a look of kindness: "We understand your intentions, whether you are biological or not, we will treat you as our own grandson in the future!" ”

Regardless of whether this child is his eldest grandson or not, Zhu Yuanzhang will love this child in the future and will not let this child be wronged.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of something and asked, "Then where did your father pick you up?" ”

"Daddy didn't say it."

Huang Xiongying shook his head: "I only remember that when I woke up, I was at my father's house." ”

"That'...... How old would that be? ”

"Eight."

Eight years old?

This word made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart jump suddenly.

His imperial grandson, Zhu Xiongying, also died ten years ago, when he was eight years old.

"You came to your daddy's house ten years ago?"

"Yes."

"When will that be?"

"It's about winter."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his heart rose to his throat.

That's right.

It's all right!

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask: "Then do you remember where you lived before you were eight years old?" ”

Huang Xiongying shook his head and said: "I don't remember, I don't have any memory of what happened before I was eight years old." ”

He can't say that he has traveled through time, but he used to live in a good era.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little anxious when he heard this, but he still said patiently:

"Child, think about it again, what do you remember? For example, who are your real parents? Did you leave any tokens or anything like that? ”

Huang Xiongying still shook his head: "No." ”

"Hey—"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened and sighed helplessly.

"The sun is going down, let's go."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was hard to hide the loss.

Almost.

It was almost before he could determine Huang Xiongying's identity.

Zhu Yuanzhang understands that he is dying, and today's Ming Dynasty needs a legitimate and excellent heir.

Huang Xiongying didn't know why, so he helped the old man and walked home......

……

Returning to the small courtyard on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Zhu Yuanzhang did not stay for long.

Because at this time he was in turmoil.

When he returned to the palace, the heavens were like his state of mind, lightning and thunder roared, and a storm was coming.

When he came to Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang finally saw the figure that he had been thinking about for the past two days.

Jinyi Guard Commander Envoy, Jiang Xuan.

Looking at Jiang Xuan, who hurriedly stepped forward, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:

"Rubbish! Let's let you check someone, you've been fucking checking for two whole days? Did you find out? ”

Jiang Xuan bent down, and replied with a slightly trembling voice: "Go back to the emperor, check ...... Found out. ”

"Come into the house and say."

Zhu Yuanzhang said as he walked into his own imperial study.

Jiang Zhen hurriedly followed......

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, his whole person completely changed, and his eyes were terrifying.

"Tell me, what have you found?"

Jiang Zhen tried his best to control it, not letting himself tremble, and replied: "Back to the emperor, I found out that Huang Xiaolangjun is not Huang Tieniu's biological son!" ”

"We know that!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes stared at Jiang Zhen coldly: "What else?" ”

Jiang Xuan's cold sweat was already wet on his back, and he knew that he couldn't say anything that the old man was interested in, and he was going to lose it.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly said: "And Huang Tieniu was originally a border army, and after retiring, he served as a guard in the palace, and when he was pregnant with Wang Xue, he was used as a funeral guard to send King Huai to Zhongshan!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Go on." ”

Jiang Zhen knew that his position as a commander should be preserved, so he relaxed a lot and continued:

"The humble duty also found out, the day of the funeral was stormy, the whole team had no choice but to spend the night in the city god temple under the mountain, that night, lightning and thunder, heavy rain poured, this night, it was Huang Tieniu's class."

"After King Huai was buried, Huang Tieniu resigned from his position as a palace guard and did some odd jobs in Beijing to make a living."

"That's all?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously not very satisfied with the results of this investigation.

Because these alone are not enough to prove that Huang Xiongying is the imperial grandson who died that year, Zhu Xiongying.

Jiang Xuan hurriedly said: "I also found a person in my humble position!" ”

"Who?"

"Back then, Huang Tieniu sent Huang Xiaolangjun to ask for a doctor!"

"What about people?"

"I've been brought to the palace and waited."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Didn't scare people, right?" ”

"Back to the emperor, this time he acted extremely carefully, without alarming anyone or alarming anyone!"

Jiang Zhen invisibly defended himself, why did it take two days.

He also knew that the stakes were high, and he must not leak the slightest rumor.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction:

"Lead the way!"
