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

Early in the morning, on the roof of Tianji Tower.

The morning sunshine, with a slight golden color, slowly fell on the small garden. The sunlight is as soft as silk, illuminating every inch of the garden and every leaf warmly. The sunlight passes through the sparse leaves and shines on the green lawn, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.

The breeze blew gently, carrying the warmth of the sun and the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the delicate flowers swayed gently in the sun.

What is more beautiful than the flowers is Xu Miaojin who is practicing Qigong.

She was wearing a pink training suit, and the tight design outlined her graceful figure. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, fluttering gently as she moved, like a flowing black ribbon.

The girl's face is delicate and picturesque, her skin is fair and delicate, and slightly rosy with health. A pair of big black eyes are bright and shining with determination.

"Hahahahaha, take this heroine's sword with one blow."Xu Miaojin dubbed herself.

Zhu Shizhen on the side was holding his forehead.

This is definitely because he has read too many story novels, which is why he has such a problem.

"Don't scream. He interrupted Xu Miaojin,"What you are playing with is a sword, not a knife. Can you be more elegant?""

Xu Miaojin pursed her red lips, standing in front of him like a child who made mistakes.

Zhu Shizhen took her sword and started to dance:"This sword technique is called Two-Sleeved Green Snake. You have to understand it with your heart."

As he spoke, he played the trick again, with elegant and graceful movements.

Xu Miaojin looked at it with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Too beautiful. She rushed forward and hugged Zhu Shizhen's shoulders,"When will I be able to dance so beautifully?""

The girl was bright and charming.

Zhu Shizhen smelled the faint fragrance from her body, lost consciousness for a moment, and pinched her face:"Then you have to practice hard?"

"oh. Xu Miaojin pouted,"I will definitely practice hard.""

Her long hair was draped softly on her shoulders, her slender fingers were clenched together nervously, and there was a faint blush on her face.

……

Chu Fangyu walked over, wearing a long palace dress that outlined her amazingly curvy figure, with a gentle smile on her elegant and delicate face:"Old Master, Prince Yan is here."

"Invite him here. Zhu Shizhen waved his hand and said,"You go make tea.""

He asked Xu Miaojin to continue practicing by herself.

Xu Miaojin's eyes seemed to fall on Chu Fangyu.

After a while, Chu Fangyu 03 took Yan Wang Zhu Di to the pavilion in the garden. She began to make tea, her movements were skillful and grace

"Meet the Grand Master."Zhu Di bowed to Zhu Shizhen

"Something's wrong? Zhu Shizhen sat down and asked.

Zhu Di looked strange and spread his hands with a smile:"Today, my father called me into the palace. He asked about your current situation, Grand Master, and asked if he needed any herbs for alchemy. In the end, he rewarded me with a lot of herbs and asked me to give them to you." bring"

"Huh? Did your father take the wrong medicine? Zhu

Shizhen also felt strange that he was rewarded with so many things for no reason, and said warily,"He doesn't want me to do something for him, right?""

"No. Zhu Di looked in disbelief,"How come my father is so nice to you all of a sudden?""

Zhu Shizhen was startled and suddenly remembered that he crawled out of the cemetery and returned home without seeing anyone.

Later, he met Zhang Side, the old master of Longhu Mountain at that time, and suggested that he leave a letter in the tomb. So, he left a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The paper on which he wrote the letter was given by the Heavenly Master.

"Did your father go to Fengyang this time to dig up your grandfather's grave?"Zhu Shizhen asked

"No, I haven't heard of it."Zhu Di said,"My father once wanted to move the tomb, but Mr. Liu Bowen stopped it, saying that it would release the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so he strengthened the seal."

Zhu Shizhen was thoughtful.

If Zhu Yuanzhang finds the letter, it might as well be for him to take the initiative to recognize his father.

"What herbs were given as rewards?"Zhu Shizhen asked.

Zhu Di waved his hand, and someone brought the herbs over in several boxes.

Zhu Shizhen walked over and looked at them one by one, frowning:"Although these medicines are good, they are of no use to poor people. Dan doesn’t need these anymore, just take them back and let Chongba order them for you."

"ah? Bring back?"

Zhu Di had a black line on his face. It was the first time he heard that he had withdrawn from the emperor's reward, and he looked embarrassed."This will give my father some face. Let's stay."

"Isn't that a waste? Zhu

Shizhen glared and waved his hand,"These herbs are useless to me, but they can save the lives of ordinary people. Take them back and don't waste them.""

Zhu Di has no choice but to go back.

……

Wenhua Hall.

After the small court meeting, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were discussing matters

"Father, do you mean to lay off the governor's office? Zhu Biao asked in surprise

"yes!"Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice,"In the past, during wartime, the military and government were integrated. Now that the Zhongshu Province is gone, there is no need for a governor's office with concentrated military power."

"Does your father want the separation of military powers?"Zhu Di asked immediately

"That's right, the power to command troops belongs to the Governor's Office, while the power to deploy troops belongs to the Ministry of War. Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice,"Let's divide the Metropolitan Governor's Office into five and change it into the Five Military Governor's Office. The power will not be concentrated in one department, and the affairs will not be blocked." Zhu

Biao understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant and nodded slowly.

He frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment and asked,"Do you want to tell your cousin about this?" He is now the Grand Governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion"

"Need not! Zhu Yuanzhang said,"Just give the order directly.""

Although Zhu Biao was doubtful, seeing his father's firm tone, he stopped asking.

He was actually worried that his cousin Li Wenzhong would think too much. The position of the Governor would suddenly be gone, and he wouldn't even say hello?

"Your Majesty, King Yan wishes to see you."Wang Jinghong, the chief eunuch, came to pay his respects.

"Let him get in."Zhu Yuanzhang waved.

Soon, King Yan Zhu Di came to the palace and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted:"Didn't I ask you to deliver medicine to Master Tian? Why are you back so soon?"

"Father, the Heavenly Master has returned the medicine."

Zhu Di had a look of helplessness on his face, as if father, please don't mess around,"Father, I see that you are not holding back anything good, the heavenly master will not be fooled, and besides, these herbs are too common, he doesn't need them. ah"

"What? You old Taoist priest withdrew our reward?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger soared. This was the first time that a reward was refunded. He was furious,"He...he...is so presumptuous.""

"Father...Father, what nonsense are you saying? Zhu

Biao quickly tried to dissuade him and blinked hard,"Heavenly Master is highly virtuous and respected. He is an elder and must be respected.""

What he means is, father, that could be your father.

"Forget it...forget it, considering his age, we don't have the same experience as him. Zhu

Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart and glared at Zhu Di,"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. You can bring the Heavenly Master to the palace to celebrate the festival.""

Zhu Di blinked his big, confused eyes.

What's going on with your father?

The Heavenly Master withdrew the reward, and yet you still want to invite someone to the palace to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?

"Did you hear that?"Zhu Yuanzhang roared

"The son heard this. Zhu Di said quickly,"It's just...it's just that the Heavenly Master doesn't want to come. What should I do?""

"Then don't come back."

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger suddenly aroused again, and he all turned towards Zhu Di,"What do you want from me? Can't handle this? If you can't invite me, don't come either. Go, go, get out of here."

Zhu Di:"？？？"

What did i do wrong?

……

Duke Cao's Mansion.

Li Wenzhong, Duke of Cao, who had recovered his health, was practicing martial arts in the yard. After practicing for a while, his whole body was covered in sweat.

His son Li Jinglong quickly handed over the towel:"Dad, your body has just recovered. The Heavenly Master said that you should train in an appropriate amount.""

"I understand!"

Li Wenzhong took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead,"In two days, you and I will go to the Tianji Tower to thank the Heavenly Master. Without him this time, your life would have been long gone."

"Yes, Heavenly Master is the benefactor of my Li family."Li Jinglong nodded.

"In front of the Heavenly Master, I always feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Li Wenzhong said.

Li Jinglong handed over another cup of hot tea and hesitated for a moment before saying,"Father, there is one more thing. News came from the Governor's Mansion. Your Majesty... He abolished the Governor's Mansion and changed it to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Son." There is also a new errand, the Commander-in-Chief of the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army"

"Okay, I've been promoted, from the third rank. Li

Wenzhong smiled, picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly,"Do your best and don't let your Majesty down."" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Father, my son feels that Your Majesty has been very unfair to you."

Li Jinglong frowned tightly, with a very unconvinced expression on his face,"You are the Grand Governor of the Grand Governor, and he doesn't even tell you about such a big matter in advance.

After hearing this, Li Wenzhong glanced at his son coldly and snorted:"You are so smart!" Your Majesty did not ask me about this matter, it was to protect me and my Li family."

Li Jinglong was full of doubts after hearing this.

How could he still save the Li family?[]

"If His Majesty asks me, how should I answer?"

Li Wenzhong put down his tea cup with a serious look on his face,"If I don't agree, I will be disobeying the emperor's order. If I agree, I will offend Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and others who are also in the Governor's Mansion. Your Majesty asked me about this matter, which is embarrassing for me. If you don't ask me, it's really for my own good."

Li Jinglong suddenly became enlightened after hearing this.

Li Wenzhong looked at his silly son and said in a deep voice:

"With your qualifications, His Majesty has done a good job in appointing you as the Governor. You must abide by your duties as a minister."

"I have told you that you must never regard yourself as a relative of the emperor. The emperor is always the emperor. He can treat you as his nephew, but you must not regard the emperor as your uncle. You, me, the descendants of the Li family, we are the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, not relatives of the emperor."

"The son obeys the instructions carefully. Li Jinglong said seriously

"Get ready in the next two days and follow me to Tianji Tower."Li Wenzhong sighed softly,"Even if you can't be accepted by the Heavenly Master, it's still good to study in Tianji Tower."

……

The Dragon Boat Festival is here.

Every family has a reunion dinner, and the palace also has a reunion dinner. It is not so grand, but there are many delicious dishes.

The Zhu family's reunion dinner was ordinary, similar to ordinary people's families, except that there were a little more people.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma naturally sat on the main seats, with some concubines on their left and right.

Sitting below are the princes, their wives, and their sons.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat there, his face full of displeasure.

Empress Ma raised her foot and kicked him:"Who are you showing your face to?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted:"The Heavenly Master still hasn't come, is he just not giving us face? Are you putting on airs?"

"Well, that's understandable."

Empress Ma came closer to him and lowered her voice,"If he is your father, then you can understand why he puts on airs, right? Back then, you buried him alive with your own hands!"

"？？？"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly held his forehead, with an expression that I didn't know he said,"At that time, he was... dead, and our second brother was also there at that time."

"you sure? Queen Ma said with a smile on her face

"We...we……"Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to say anything anymore. He was also young at the time.

"Wait for Mao Xiang to come back."Empress Ma smiled."If he finds out, you can think about how to recognize your father. Then I won't help you. Anyway, Heavenly Master is very good to me, oh no, to all the descendants of the Zhu family. Well, except you"

"Hey, does this old man hold a grudge?"Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

"Okay, don't be upset, today is the Dragon Boat Festival."Empress Ma said softly.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang put away his expression.

His descendants came to them to say auspicious blessings.

When Zhu Di finished speaking to them, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands angrily:"Fourth brother, you go and cool down. , I don’t want to see you"

"okay!"Zhu Di stepped aside.

420 He knew that his father was angry because he did not invite the old Celestial Master.

However, he just couldn't understand why his father suddenly became so interested in the old Celestial Master?

"The Dragon Boat Festival is the time when the yang energy of heaven and earth is at its peak. Dragon boats are rippling, gongs and drums are noisy, and the people celebrate together and are prosperous."Zhu Yunwen bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang,"May the Emperor's dragon body be healthy and the Sacred Heart be happy. May the country be prosperous, like the Dragon Boat Festival, prosperous, and enjoy peace forever"

"OK OK. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said,"Yunwen, you have made great progress recently. How can you revise the Ming Dynasty Code?"���The seventy-three articles will be promulgated and implemented after being reviewed by the Ministry of Rites."

Zhu Yunwen looked proud.

Mrs. Lu next to him also had a very proud expression. Her son had made a difference.

She looked at Zhu Xiongying, but she didn't know that he was cooking without raising his head.

Zhu Yuanzhang came in the middle of the meal as usual. In front of the ancestor's tablet. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people worship gods and ancestors and pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits. He lit incense and bowed respectfully towards the tablet. After paying homage, his eyes fell on Zhu Wusi's tablet and he sighed softly:

"Dad, we also hope you are alive, and then you can beat us however you want. Tell us, are you a heavenly master?"

"We are also curious, where did you learn such a skill? just you? How can you become a heavenly master if you don't know a few Chinese characters?"

"We don't dare to admit what you did. Although you had a bad temper back then, you were just a coward to a few of our brothers and people from the yamen, weren't you?"

"How does this look like the Heavenly Master? Master Tian is so domineering. He can reject me as much as he wants."

He babbled for a long time, and finally stood silently for a while before walking out.

……

Qin Tianjian, Tianji Tower.

Zhu Shizhen was also celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, and accompanying him were naturally Princess Fuli and Chu Fangyu.

The three of them drank wine, admired the moon, and sang to each other while drinking.

Zhu Shizhen, wearing a snow-white Taoist robe, sang and drank wildly, playing and singing"A Laugh in the Sea".

The sea laughs and rolls with the tides on both sides.

Ups and downs follow the waves to record the present.

The sky is laughing.

The tides in the world are full of laughter.

God knows who will lose and who will win.

The mountains and rivers are laughing in the misty rain.

The waves have wiped out how much the world knows.

The sound of the piano is surging, and the singing is heroic and passionate.

Princess Fu Li and Chu Fangyu's beautiful eyes fell on him.

No matter how they looked at him, he didn't look like a centenarian.

His long silver-white hair only added to his temperament.

Unknowingly, they already have a deep love for the Heavenly Master.

"It's late at night, go back to your room and rest."Princess Fu Li held Zhu Shizhen's arm.

"You should go to my place tonight, right?"Chu Fangyu held his other arm.

The two refused to give in to each other.

Zhu Shizhen hugged him from left to right and laughed loudly:"Then we won't go back to the room. We are here. The moonlight and stars are good. We can absorb the spiritual energy of the world.."

The two beauties both blushed.
