Chapter 10: It's a Tough Question!
Huang Xiongying's small courtyard.
Huang Xiongying has already begun to clean up, he did not run away, but decided to join the army.
Under the strict household registration system, he has no choice.
Looking at the pile of silver in the cellar, Huang Xiongying decided to leave it all to the old man.
Over the years, he has still earned a lot of silver.
Although there is a lot of silver, Huang Xiongying is still thrifty, in his previous life he was an orphan and knew the hardships of life, so after coming to this world, he still adheres to the character of frugality.
Thrift does not mean stinginess.
So since Huang Xiongying decided to join the army, he left all the money he earned over the years to his grandfather.
He could see that although the old man was an official, he was a clean official.
Today's Hongwu Emperor can be said to be extremely hateful for corrupt officials, if you dare to be greedy, Emperor Hongwu will dare to ask your whole family to be neat.
The old man Hongwu was born poor and suffered from corrupt officials and corrupt officials.
He even personally compiled a big edict, which was to sort out the major corruption cases in the trial of this year and publish it to the whole country in the form of an edict to warn officials not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The most famous of these is the Guo Huan case.
In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Guo Huan, the head of the household department, and others colluded with the officials of various provinces to cheat and steal official grain. Later, it was revealed that the amount of money involved was huge, and the old man Hongwu was angry and executed all the six or so waiters.
Troubled times use heavy codes.
It was under such strict punishment that the mess left by Meng Yuan was gradually cleaned up, but corruption was never eradicated.
Therefore, under the rule of the old man Hongwu, the entire Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a ruler of the Qingming Dynasty.
The old man Hongwu did not give much money to the officials, and it was a product, and the annual income was 900 stones, which was equivalent to about 300,000 yuan today.
This is already the top official of the Ming Dynasty.
Such an official, who does not have dozens or hundreds of people in his family, and all aspects of the dots, if not corrupt, simply looks glamorous on the surface, but actually tightens his belt to live.
The old man should be such an official.
Looking at the lightning and thunder outside the house, Huang Xiongying sighed lightly:
"Old man, when we return from the frontier and return to our hometown, we will honor you well......"
"Smack!"
Outside the door, there was a sudden sound of something falling to the ground.
"Who?"
Huang Xiongying's eyes froze suddenly, and he snorted softly.
At the same time, Huang Xiongying turned around and jumped, like a light swallow, and rushed out of the door.
It was pouring rain outside the door, but there was no one to be seen.
Only a string of black-brown prayer beads fell from the ground, indicating that someone had just been here......
……
On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang had already come to the palace under the leadership of Jiang Xuan.
In the palace, a doctor with a white beard was restless, but he didn't dare to move around.
He inherited his ancestral business, practiced medicine all his life, although it didn't become a big deal, but he also saved a lot of people, and he was honest all his life, he really couldn't remember, what mistakes he made, what big people he offended?
At the beginning of being brought to this tall palace by the brocade guard, the old doctor was trembling and panicking.
Da Da Da –
There was a sound of footsteps, and the old doctor hurriedly turned around.
I saw an old man who was about the same age as him come in with a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit.
"The grass people have seen it...... Elegant. ”
The old doctor didn't know the identity of the old man in front of him, but he knew that it was definitely not simple, and it was definitely good to be called a nobleman.
"Old man, don't be polite!"
Zhu Yuanzhang helped the old doctor with his strong hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we just want to know something about the situation with you, and you can tell the truth." ”
The old doctor nodded again and again: "The grass people know everything. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the old doctor to sit down, and then he was not verbose, and asked straight to the point: "Old man, we heard that you saved a child ten years ago?" ”
The old doctor's cloudy eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he replied tremblingly: "There are too many people, don't ...... I don't remember ......."
Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious all of a sudden, but he still held back and said patiently: "Think about it again, ten years ago, did a man named Huang Tieniu bring a child to you for treatment?" ”
"Iron Bull?"
The old doctor's cloudy eyes gradually brightened a little: "You said that it was Tie Niu Nawa earlier, isn't it over?" Ten years ago, Tie Niu, he hugged a baby for us to treat, and we remember it most clearly! ”
"Why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice suddenly increased.
Speaking of the child, the old doctor had a smile on his face: "Because yes, that child is very special!" ”
"What kind of special law?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was already in a hurry, but the old doctor was slow and leisurely, so he had to be patient.
The old doctor leaned his head over, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "The old man remembers very clearly, that night was like now, it was stormy, we all fell asleep, when Tie Niu brought the baby, the baby was wearing a shroud, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"But after we took the pulse, we found that the baby didn't have any problems, but it was a little weak, and now the baby has grown up, called Huang Xiongying, very handsome, and comes to ......see us from time to time."
The old doctor babbled.
Thundered!
Outside the hall, a thunderclap rang out.
It was like splitting on the top of Zhu Yuanzhang's head, making his whole person freeze.
With the help of lightning, you can clearly see the thick horror on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
Shroud!
This word kept circling in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
Ten years ago, the funeral guards, children in shrouds, the same name, similar looks......
Everything is on the right track!
His eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying did not die, Huang Xiongying is his eldest grandson!
Thundered!
The storm outside the temple continued.
Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is also stormy.
The old doctor was still babbling about Huang Xiongying's goodness, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't listen to a word.
The whole brain is in a state of near pause at the moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't forget to let Jiang Zhen take some silver to the old doctor, the old doctor was a nobleman and thanked him one by one, he had never seen so much silver in his life.
Sending off the excited old doctor, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood was even more excited than the old doctor.
The old doctor was given the money, but what he got was priceless.
In the empty hall, only Zhu Yuanzhang was left at this moment.
Zhu Yuanzhang straightened his waist, slowly walked to the main seat in the main hall and sat down, with a pair of big hands clasping the back of the chair.
"Haha...... Hahaha......"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and the originally suppressed laughter gradually became louder, and finally became unbridled.
The sound of wild laughter mingled with the sound of wind and rain outside the temple.
This made Zhu Yunwen, who was holding a face and just wanted to enter the hall, stunned.
Grandpa Huang, what's wrong?
Now do you want to listen to the concubine and send the noodles in?
Zhu Yunwen was inexplicably a little confused in his heart.
It's a difficult question, mother, I can't do it......
