Ming Dynasty: 100-year-old Heavenly Master, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sky is clear and the air is clear.

The sky is as blue as a wash, the clouds are white and flawless, and the sun shines on the earth through the sparse clouds.

On the top floor of Tianji Building, Zhu Shizhen found Zhu Xiongying

“Tomorrow is the imperial examination, right?”He asked while holding tea.

“Yes, Grand Master. Zhu Xiongying’s eyes were clear and firm,”I’ll take the exam to get the top prize.””

“I’ll give you some tutoring before the exam. Zhu Shizhen smiled and said,”That imperial grandfather of yours likes to play cards that don’t follow common sense. He won’t necessarily test your strategy tomorrow.””

“What’s the test?”Zhu Xiongying asked curiously

“Three boxes of rice.”Zhu Shizhen spread his hands.

In his previous life, he read unofficial history. There was a record that Zhu Yuanzhang used three frames of rice to test new students.

Those students were ignorant of what was going on outside the window and only read the books of sages. Who knew what happened to the rice?

Zhu Yuanzhang Of course I know, because he is a farmer and does small farming.

“Your grandpa may use rice to see officialdom. Zhu Shizhen smiled and said,”I’ll tell you the answer first.””

“good!”Zhu Xiongying nodded.

He believed Zhu Shizhen’s words deeply.

So, he used the prepared rice and talked to Zhu Xiongying for half an hour.

“Heavenly Master, I’m back.”A crisp voice came.

Xu Miaojin, wearing a fiery red dress, ran straight in, holding a basket in her hand.

The girl was youthful, energetic, bright and moving:”My eldest sister made this specially for you.”

She handed the basket to Zhu Shizhen, her charming peach blossom eyes blinked, she was pretty and cute.

“Pastries made by the fourth aunt?”Zhu Xiongying’s eyes lit up.

“Your Highness, you can’t eat it.”Xu Miaojin suddenly retracted,”This is for Heavenly Master.”

“Then I’d better go.”Zhu Xiongying stood up and bowed to Zhu Shizhen,”Master, I took note of it and left first. If I stay here, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help but eat some cakes.”

Zhu Shizhen had a black line on her head.

Xu Miaojin saw that Zhu Xiongying was gone, and then handed the basket to Zhu Shizhen again.

“Try it, it’s delicious.”Xu Miaojin’s beautiful peach blossom eyes are extremely clear and bright

“Okay, poor people eat.”Zhu Shizhen smiled.

He picked up a piece and it tasted really good.

Xu Miaojin puffed up her considerable chest and raised her chin proudly, showing a bit of pride, as if she had made it herself.

……

The next day, Fengtian Palace.

This year’s palace examination will be held here.

In front of Fengtian Hall, candidates wearing green shirts walked towards the majestic building step by step. Their faces showed nervousness, anticipation, and uneasiness.

They walked through the long corridor, crossed the thresholds, and finally arrived at the gate of Fengtian Hall. The huge palace door seemed to be the entrance to another world.

The candidates lined up neatly, waiting for the eunuch’s summons

“Examinees are announced to enter the palace!”Following the eunuch’s shrill summons, the candidates entered the Fengtian Hall one by one. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the throne.

In the Fengtian Hall, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn. On the tall dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang sat upright with a majestic expression. His eyes were sharp. Every candidate who walked in felt an invisible pressure.

When all the candidates entered the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up slowly and scanned the candidates’ faces one by one. Echoing in the silent hall, the entire Fengtian Hall is filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a tight string may break at any time

“Don’t be nervous. Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said,”You are all the future of our Ming Dynasty.””

Hearing the emperor’s laughter, the students in the hall also relaxed a little.

Standing at the front were naturally the top four in the examination: Qi De, Huang Zicheng, Lian Zining, and Zhu Feilong.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes fell on him intentionally or unintentionally. On Zhu Feilong, I thought to myself, this boy’s name actually dares to be called Feilong

“For today’s imperial examination, we want to test something different. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,”Come here, bring up our examination questions.””

Everyone was curious, including the ministers.

What test questions? Do they need to be carried up?

Soon, they understood, because the guards carried up three frames of rice.

When the three frames of rice were placed in front of the candidates, they were all stunned. , only Zhu Xiongying, who was dressed as Zhu Feilong, was overjoyed that Grand Master really guessed it, and Grandpa Huang really took the rice test.

“You all come forward to have a look and touch it~. Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice,”Then tell us what is the difference between these three-frame aunties.””

Everyone hesitated to move forward.

They are all ignorant scholars and have basically never been to the fields. How do they know the difference between these rice grains?

Not only the disciples, but also many ministers cannot see the mystery.

“Mr. Lu, can’t you see anything?”Liu Sanwu asked Lu Ben in a low voice.

“have no idea. Lu Ben shook his head,”Besides, what kind of scene is this?” Even if you know, you can’t know.”

Liu Sanwu smiled slightly

“Can’t even see it? Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

The ministers shook their heads, and the candidates also stood in place.

“Let the students talk.”

Zhu Feilong came out, walked to the first basket, stretched out his little hand to explore it, took a small handful, pinched it, smelled it, and said in a deep voice:”This basket of rice weighs about a hundred kilograms, and the grains are full, and the aroma is fragrant. Overflowing, the land is Yangzhou, and the newly imported tax grains are also there.”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes suddenly lit up on the imperial steps, and he was quite surprised.

This young man actually knew it.

When Zhu Feilong came to the second basket of rice, he also took a handful, pinched it, bit it and said:”This basket of rice is old grain, smell it. If there is mold, the people will not let their grain become moldy, so the rice must come from Taicang. Finally

, when he arrived at the third basket, he continued to operate as before. He frowned slightly and said,”This basket of rice is half made of chaff. I suspect it came from the military warehouse.”

After explaining the differences between the three rices, Zhu Feilong bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:”Your Majesty wants to use these three rices to show us the three kinds of officialdom and the three kinds of people’s hearts.

” By clearly observing the situation of rice, we can gain insight into people’s livelihood and sentiments, as well as the people’s hearts in the officialdom.

They all understand that in the future, when handling government affairs, they will be able to verify the truth and the truth, and will not deceive the people, nor will they be deceived by unruly people.

”

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and looked at Zhu Feilong.

Because he was right about everything.

……

“Hahaha, good, good! Zhu Yuanzhang praised,”Zhu Feilong, right?” I have read your policy paper and it is very good. If we were to judge it, I would definitely give it the first place. I didn’t expect that your kid also knows about rice. It’s pretty good.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”Zhu Feilong bowed

“Since you have given the answer, we will crown you as the top pick of this class. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,”Others, please continue to take the policy theory test. You don’t need to take the test.””

The ministers were astonished.

The candidates looked at Zhu Feilong with great envy.

Zhu Feilong was overjoyed and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang:”Your Majesty, since you have given the student the number one scholar, the student will also give you a surprise.”

“oh? Surprise us?”Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great interest.

The eyes of everyone in the hall also fell on Zhu Feilong.

Zhu Feilong scratched his face, took off a human skin mask, and then knelt down and said:”Grandpa Huang. , it’s grandson Xiongying. Please forgive me, Grandpa Huang, but I asked my fourth uncle to help me and used Zhu Feilong’s name to take part in the examination, just because I wanted to compete with the world’s scholars.”

Everyone was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with disbelief on his face:”Xiong Ying? It’s you?”

“Yes, Grandpa Huang.”Zhu Xiongying bowed again.

Because of practicing Taoism and martial arts, the nine-year-old Zhu Xiongying already looked like a handsome boy.

With the mask, no one recognized him.

After Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised, he was overjoyed:”Hahaha, the new champion is our eldest grandson. Xiongying, you are only nine years old, the nine-year-old champion.

Prince Zhu Biao, who was standing on the steps below, ran directly to Zhu Xiongying and looked him up and down:”Xiongying, you know how to try out policies and arguments, and you wrote them all yourself?””

“of course!”

Zhu Xiongying patted his chest arrogantly,”My son doesn’t know how to take first place, so I feel dissatisfied. I want to compete with them again today, but I didn’t know that Grandpa Huang had a new idea.”

“He has backbone and is worthy of being our eldest grandson.”Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.

He was really happy.

Because his eldest grandson got the top prize in the examination, and the Zhu family also got the top prize.

……

After Lu Ben was shocked, he felt extremely depressed.

He never expected that Zhu Feilong was pretending to be Zhu Xiongying.

After the initial examination, several examiners wanted to rank Zhu Feilong first, but it was he who advocated ranking Zhu Feilong fourth.

Just one sentence:”How dare a common man be called Feilong?”

The examiners were also frightened at that time, and they all listened to Lu Ben’s arrangement.

Now I understand that Zhu Feilong is a real dragon waiting to fly, because he is the eldest grandson of the emperor.

“Your Majesty, the emperor’s eldest grandson is outstanding in talent and intelligence, has learned the Five Classics, and is familiar with ancient and modern times. He is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty.”

“Your Majesty, the emperor’s eldest grandson is as wise as the sea, smarter than others, but has a deep chest, and he is not as good as the others.”

The ministers turned on the boasting mode.

Lu Ben listened and tried his best to suppress his anger.

Because these ministers had praised the emperor’s grandson Zhu Yunzhen some time ago, but now, no one remembered it.

Zhu Xiongying got the top score in the exam, and his sharpness was revealed. , far surpassing Zhu Yunwen (for Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

This number one scholar will win Zhu Yuanzhang’s favor even more, because Zhu Yuanzhang has not studied much since he was a child, and it has been the wish of his ancestors to have a number one scholar..

This time, there is really a champion, and he is only nine years old.

“Hahaha, Xiongying, not bad. Zhu Yuanzhang also praised,”Not only are you highly skilled in martial arts, but you are also good at reading. Grandpa Huang is very happy.””

“This is all taught well by Heavenly Master.”Zhu Xiongying said,”My grandson has practiced diligently, and he can get twice the result with half the effort when reading books. He has a photographic memory.”

That’s it!

All the ministers understood in their hearts that not only can they practice with the Heavenly Master, but they can also study, and it’s even easier.

“Lao Tianshi is the real great scholar of the world. Zhu Xiongying said proudly,”He is proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He can understand everything that my grandson does not understand.””

This is not a lie.

Zhu Shizhen has been reading books for decades, and no one in the world has read more books than him.

When he heard the words”great scholar of the time”, Lu Ben’s face became even uglier.

The exam continued, but what they were fighting for was not The top pick was Huang Zicheng, the top pick was Lian Zining, and Zhu Yuanzhang also praised them as talents.

However, this time, all the candidates were shrouded in Zhu Xiongying’s light.

……

After the exam, it is rare to have free time.

Zhu Yuanzhang left the palace in disguise and wandered around the streets, eating sesame seed cakes and so on.

Eunuch Wang Jinghong followed him to pay

“Your Majesty, this is my money.”He smiled helplessly[]

“Hey, look, I dug you. I forgot to bring it with me when we went out. Zhu Yuanzhang glared,”Can’t I just pay you back when I go back?””

“You said the same thing last time. Wang Jinghong curled his lips and said,”You are the emperor, but you still deduct money from one of my chamberlains. I have never heard of it throughout the ages.””

He has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and he is more courageous. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not dare to say this.

However, he has a good grasp of Zhu Yuanzhang’s temper. He likes people to be obedient, but he also doesn’t like people to be temperless and submissive.

“Remember, when you return to the palace this time, we will give it to you together.”Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry.

The two of them walked, ate, and walked around, and came to the Tianji Tower.

Wang Jinghong saw that the emperor just wanted to come to the Tianji Tower.

“Your Majesty, can I call the door for you?”Wang Jinghong asked

“No need, right? The Heavenly Master probably doesn’t want to see us either. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head,”If he wanted to see us, he would have met us a long time ago. Humph, the old man is holding a grudge.””

“They say that old children are old children. When people get older, they are like children and need to be coaxed. Wang Jinghong sighed,”My grandma is like this. If I don’t coax her, she will not only not eat, but also lose her temper.””

“Is it?”Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful.

“Heavenly Master is already a hundred years old, isn’t it normal for someone to have a temper?”Wang Jinghong spread his hands and said,”If he has great ability, he will have a big temper. If he is older, he will have an even bigger temper.”

“Hahaha, Wang Jinghong, what you said really makes sense.”Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

He took big steps towards Tianji Tower.

However, when he was approaching the door, he turned around and walked back:”If you don’t want to go, let’s wait for Mao Xiang to come back.”

There was no other way, so Wang Jinghong had no choice but to follow him.

However, after walking a few steps, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and walked towards the Tianji Tower.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang walked back and forth several times.

Wang Jinghong couldn’t stand it anymore and said:” Your Majesty, what are you doing? Meeting an old heavenly master is more difficult than conquering the world? Are you so confused?”

“Wang Jinghong, you don’t understand anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and looked up at the roof of Tianji Tower,”Hey, let’s come back next time.””

He strode away.

Wang Jinghong stood there and did not leave.

Ten

“I’m afraid you’ll come back again.”Wang Jinghong said

“(Dede Zhao) hurry up and follow me.”Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang was walking back and forth downstairs. This scene was seen by Zhu Shizhen on the top of the building.

He frowned slightly and said to himself:”The emperor is either ill or has discovered something. It’s rare that he saw the letter I left in the cemetery? Does he suspect that I am his father? Damn it, then you should come up. I know. Your father is here, why don’t you come to recognize him?”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang’s back, he frowned and complained in his heart:”It’s really not easy to recognize a cheap son. Zhu Chongba must have too many thoughts. I dare not admit it until I confirm it.”

He stretched, but he was not in a hurry, he could afford to wait anyway.

“Master.”Zhu Di came over

“What’s wrong? Zhu Shizhen asked,”In a hurry, who made a breakthrough?””

“No. Zhu Di looked excited,”Didn’t you ask me to find herbs last time?” Medicines such as ice epiphyllum, wind essence gold, earth yin crystal, snow spirit wood, and green blood fruit are found in Mobei and Langjuxu Mountain.”

“real?”Zhu Shizhen was overjoyed.

This is the serious thing he has to do, obtain medicinal materials, refine elixirs, break through the realm, and finally become an immortal instantly.

“Certainty and affirmation. Zhu Di nodded,”This is what the merchant from Mobei said.” The news is true. Grand Master, why don’t you send someone to Mobei and go to Langjuxu Mountain?”

“Now that you’ve gone there, let’s stop by to visit Fenglangjuxu. Zhu Shizhen said,”Is your father preparing for the Northern Expedition again?” This time, you are the commander and I will help you to fight to Langjuxu Mountain”

“？？？”Zhu Di was a little confused.

I asked you to collect medicine, and you sealed the wolf in Xu?

“I have to fight with my father about this.”Zhu Di said,”You also know that usually Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong are in command.”

“Your father will allow you to go.” Zhu Shizhen smiled.

In fact, Zhu Shizhen has his own plan.

He is now bound to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. Only by opening up the territory and expanding the territory, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, and then he will become stronger and stronger.

The system said, This is the opportunity to become an immortal.
