Chapter 85: Grandpa Emperor asked me to ask you on his behalf?
Zhu Yunhuan suddenly found himself thrown into Lao Zhu's car, and his face was filled with confusion.
I didn’t make any mistakes today, did I?
If I was told to smash the pot, I did it. If I was told to carry the banner, I did it. Why did this old man pull himself over here?
Just as Zhu Yunxun was thinking about all sorts of things, he suddenly saw Old Zhu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, open his eyes and look at him with a gloomy face. He was so scared that he quickly admitted his mistake.
"Grandpa Emperor, I was wrong. I shouldn't have pretended to be sick, shouldn't have dozed off leaning against the pillar, shouldn't have smashed the pot out of anger, shouldn't have..."
Old Zhu was just depressed because he thought about his eldest son's short life. Suddenly, when he saw his rebellious grandson admitting his mistakes like a bamboo tube pouring beans, he immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Yunhuan with a little displeasure.
Zhu Yunhuan's heart sank when he saw this expression. He thought to himself that this time it was all over. Would this old man just throw him directly into the grave to accompany his father?
"Grandpa Emperor, please calm down. I really did make this mistake today. I even spent the whole night making up for it yesterday. Woo woo woo..."
When Old Zhu saw the child being so frightened, he felt guilty and wondered if he had been too harsh on him recently.
"well!"
"I just saw that you were tired, so I asked someone to carry you up here to rest. I didn't mean to punish you..."
"oh?"
"You didn't fool me, did you?"
"Really, I promise not to beat you today, no matter what you do..."
When Old Zhu said this, he suddenly remembered the rebellious grandson's bad behavior last time and quickly left a loophole.
“Ahem!”
"As long as you don't commit treason, I promise not to beat you today!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan was completely relieved, and then he tried to press further.
"Can I lie on your lap and rest for a while?"
"Of course!"
"Oh, then I can lie down. Is this not considered as treason?"
“Not really…”
Old Zhu immediately put his legs together, then took his eldest grandson and laid him on his lap.
When he saw his eldest grandson sweating profusely from exhaustion, he helped him wipe the sweat off his face with concern and asked with concern.
"Are you exhausted? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the doctor to come and take a look?"
Zhu Yunhuan shook his head silently, and after a long while he asked.
"My grandson is fine, not very tired...but I have forgotten what happened when my father was alive. Can you tell me more about it?"
“This…”
Zhu opened his mouth immediately, starting from the birth of the prince, and kept talking about the prince's canonization, his marriage, and the regent at the age of 20...
After listening to all this, Zhu Yunhuan gradually understood why Emperor Zhu was so partial to the crown prince.
Because the crown prince was not only his eldest son with Queen Ma, but also the turning point of his entire rebellion.
It was after Zhu Biao was born that he decided to attack Jiqing Prefecture, which is now Yingtian Prefecture and also the Nanjing City in later generations. From then on, he laid the foundation for his hegemony.
Therefore, Zhu Biao was far more than just an eldest son to him. He was also a gift and guidance from God.
"My grandson seems to understand..."
"What do you understand?"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, he heard a slight snoring sound coming from his thigh. He saw that the guy had fallen asleep in a daze!
Seeing this, Lao Zhu gave a helpless smile and then knocked on the door. Erhu, who was driving the carriage, immediately slowed down, making the carriage less bumpy.
It was almost noon when the funeral procession arrived at the tomb of Prince Yiwen, and by then the team was half gone.
Except for members of the royal family and some royal relatives, all other outsiders were stopped from entering the royal mausoleum.
Because the entrance to the mausoleum cannot be known to too many people.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the carriage had stopped, he immediately woke up Zhu Yunhuan, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then carried him out of the carriage.
After the strong men in brocade clothes carried Zhu Biao's coffin into the mausoleum, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately pushed Zhu Yunhuan.
"Go, and see your father off for the last time!"
Zhu Yunhuan immediately walked to the front of the crowd and knelt in front of the princes and princes.
Originally, he wanted to kneel behind Zhu Yunwen. What if Zhu Biao was still alive and knew that he was an impostor, and came to find him at night?
However, the ceremonial officer grabbed his hand and threw him to the front of the team, facing the tomb passage.
He knelt down reluctantly, only to feel a chill coming from the tomb passage, chilling his entire body.
Zhu Yunhuan hurriedly prayed in his heart, Mr. Zhu Biao, please forgive me, I know I am not that person, but I have also forgotten who I am. If you don’t mind, I would like to be your son.
I will show my filial respect to you during the New Year holidays. Please don't bother me...
He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if his prayers were really effective, but after the cold wind dissipated, he found that his body quickly became warm.
Amid the weeping and worshipping of the crowd, the Broken Dragon Stone in the Prince's Tomb slowly closed.
Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes in pain upon seeing this, and two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably down his face.
This mausoleum not only buried a prince, but also his half-life expectations and half-life regrets...
After a loud rumbling sound, the Dragon-Breaking Stone finally closed completely, isolating Crown Prince Zhu Biao from the mundane world completely.
When Old Zhu heard the muffled sound, he suddenly remembered what Zhu Yunhuan said to him in the mourning hall that day.
If there is an afterlife, Father will never force you again. Father will let you do whatever you want...
Father only asks for one thing, that you can live happily...
If there were ifs in history, there wouldn’t be so many tragedies that make people sigh.
If there were ifs in life, there wouldn't be so many regrets that make people feel resentful for the rest of their lives.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang regretted very much. He regretted that as a father, he was too strong and crushed the prince.
After the Dragon-Breaking Stone was completely closed, everyone stood up and prepared to go to the Xian Hall to continue their worship.
The so-called Xiandian is a palace built above the mausoleum or on the side of it, which is used exclusively for worship by royal descendants.
After the Dragon-Breaking Stone is put down, the entrance to the tomb must be covered with soil and then planted with grass and trees.
However, just when everyone had stood up to leave, Lu, contrary to her usual behavior, threw herself in front of the Dragon-Breaking Stone and burst into tears.
“My prince, I’d rather follow you. It’s better than letting others bully us, an orphan and a widow, sob…”
Mrs. Lu's defenses were really broken today. Not only did her son suffer injustice, but now she had to kneel behind the son of that slave girl.
However, what broke her defense the most was the Dragon-Breaking Stone.
He closed the Dragon-Breaking Stone right now. This shows that he had no intention of being buried together with the prince in the future!
Could it be that after being the Crown Princess for so many years, I was just carrying on with an empty title?
Old Zhu found Lu's crying very irritating and quickly sent his personal eunuch Qin Deshun to persuade her.
However, how could a eunuch persuade Mrs. Lu to stop being sad?
As soon as Qin Deshun opened his mouth, he was scolded by Lu.
“Get lost!”
"You all come to bully me, bully us orphans and widows, sob... "
Qin Deshun could only go back and report embarrassedly when he saw this. Actually, he didn't need to report as Old Zhu had heard everything. But precisely because he heard it, he felt even more disgusted.
Is this woman crazy? Who is she talking to?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to order someone to shut her up, he could only swallow his anger since all the royal relatives, princes and kings were present.
But you can't just let a woman talk nonsense, you never know what rumors she might cause tomorrow!
"Someone go and persuade the Crown Princess to mourn!"
Everyone lowered their heads when they heard this. Some didn't know how to persuade her, some just wanted to watch the fun and had no intention of persuading her, and some sympathized with the Crown Princess's experience and thought that Old Zhu was going too far.
In short, after Old Zhu said this, no one paid any attention to him except for a certain rebellious grandson who was eager to try and kept recommending himself!
"Grandpa Emperor, the Crown Princess likes me the most. If I go and persuade her, it will definitely work!"
"Shut up!"
Old Zhu knew Zhu Yunhuan's attitude towards Lu, so he simply ignored him, fearing that he would make Lu angry and cause her to suffer harm.
If Lu was so angry that she banged her head against the Broken Dragon Stone and died, it would be fine. She could just dig a pit next to it and bury her directly. But if she was so angry that she said something crazy and brought shame to the reputation of the royal family, it would be a disaster.
When Old Zhu thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunwen next to Lu. In fact, what he hoped most was that Zhu Yunwen would stand up and persuade his mother.
But the child would rather lower his head and count ants than step forward, and he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
"Grandpa Huang, you have to believe me, I really can do it!"
"You don't know, the Crown Princess likes me very much..."
When Old Zhu saw his grandson recommending himself several times, he also decided to give it a try.
"can you?"
"Of course it will work. Don't worry, I can persuade the Crown Princess to mourn with just a few words!"
"But I have a condition. After the matter is done, you must give me a house and let me move out of the Prince's Mansion!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself, since he had given the palace to him a long time ago and was now ordering people to renovate it, it seemed like he was not losing out anyway.
"Okay!"
"If you can really make the Crown Princess mourn, Grandfather Emperor will agree to your request!"
After Old Zhu finished speaking, Zhu Yunhuan agreed, and immediately jumped to the Broken Dragon Stone, leaned over and whispered a few words in Lu's ear. I don't know what he said, but the crazy woman immediately shut up.
Although she was still crying miserably, she didn't dare to say a word and just sobbed.
Old Zhu thought to himself that this grandson was amazing. We haven’t even figured out how to persuade Lu to shut up, so how did this rebellious grandson do it?
After Zhu Yunhuan persuaded Lu, he came back to ask for reward from Zhu Yuanzhang with a smug look on his face.
"Grandpa Emperor, when will you give me a house?"
"Tell me, Grandpa Huang, how did you do it?"
“It’s very simple!”
"My grandson just told her that Grandfather asked me to ask you on his behalf, is it true what you just said about going to accompany my father?"
“And then she shut up!”
"What?"
When Old Zhu heard the answer given by Nisun, he was stunned for a second and then laughed out loud.
How could this rebellious grandson have such a sinister mind? He could actually come up with such sinister words. The Lu family must be furious, haha...
"You rebellious grandson...haha..."
