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

"Look, look, you said you were filial to me, but you didn’t want to give up the throne?"

Zhu Shizhen pushed Zhu Yuanzhang away and sat down on the chair, looking very angry.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a while, then spread his hands:"Dad, even if we give you the throne, you can't sit still. Being an emperor is not something anyone can do if he wants to. It involves all aspects. Besides, the throne is passed down from father to son. How can a son pass on the throne to his father?"

"Okay, I don’t want your throne either. Zhu

Shizhen sat up straight, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said,"Sit down too, and I'll tell you why it took me forty years to come down to the capital.""

Zhu Yuanzhang was also puzzled by this and immediately sat across from Zhu Shizhen.

Zhu Shizhen pondered for a moment and said seriously:"Because I want to become an immortal."

"What does this have to do with you going down the mountain?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of doubts. He didn't understand anything about cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal."Isn't it easier for you to achieve Taoism and become an immortal on the mountain?"

"Because the path to immortality has been cut off. Zhu

Shizhen tried his best to speak in words that Zhu Yuanzhang could understand,"The purpose of my coming down the mountain is to bind the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty and use the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty to pursue the chance of becoming an immortal.""

Next, he spoke in detail.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood, with a face full of shock:"Dad, that means you have now bound the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty? If the Ming Dynasty is not destroyed, you will not die? Zhu

Shizhen nodded affirmatively and continued:"As the Ming Dynasty becomes more and more prosperous, the luck will become stronger and stronger, and I will become stronger. Maybe I can become an immortal.""

"I see! Zhu

Yuanzhang completely understood, and a light flashed in his eyes,"So you teach the fourth and thirteenth children just to make them stronger and create a more powerful Ming Dynasty?""

"That's right." Zhu Shizhen said,"You have to help me"

"Dad, we will definitely help you. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"Then why don't you train more children of the Zhu family? Wouldn't it be better to have more people?""

"You know shit! Zhu Shizhen glanced sideways,"What I need is talented people. If you don't have talent, why don't you waste resources and time?""

"So...what about us...what about us?"Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at himself

"You are the emperor, and you have the strongest luck in the world. If you are contaminated by too many causes and effects, it is impossible to become an immortal. Zhu Shizhen sighed,"However, from now on I will guide you in your cultivation, at least you will live longer.""

"720 is great, that’s enough! Zhu Yuanzhang was excited,"We are afraid that we don't have enough time. We have too many things to do and are worried about too much. If we have time, we can do it one by one.""

The father and son sat on the porch and started chatting.

There was no stranger at all. The more they chatted, the more animated they became. In a flash, it was afternoon.

"Dad, let's make arrangements. Zhu Yuanzhang said,"Find a suitable opportunity to announce your identity. You are the Supreme Emperor.""

"Don’t worry, don’t you want to go to the Northern Expedition? Let’s wait until we come back from the Northern Expedition."Zhu Shizhen waved

"Dad, do you really want to go?"Zhu Yuanzhang asked

"certainly!"Zhu Shizhen nodded affirmatively.

"Then we have to go too, we want to spend more time with dad." Zhu Yuanzhang said

"Then let's go together. The fourth generation of our Zhu family will be the wolf and the Xu. Zhu Shizhen said domineeringly

"It's interesting. Let's go back and discuss it with my mother-in-law."Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed

"Look at your virtue."Zhu Shizhen held his forehead.

He waved his hand, and Zhu Yuanzhang landed downstairs.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace in a hurry and went straight to Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma is not in the palace, but in the garden behind.

The slightest breeze blows, the leaves sway gently and make a rustling sound. It is much cooler here.

In the pavilion, Queen Ma was cutting watermelon leisurely. She was wearing a thin summer dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, elegant and dignified.

She cut the watermelon skillfully, and every cut was accurate. The watermelon is cut open to reveal its bright red flesh and black seeds, which are mouth-watering. She smiled and handed the cut watermelon to Yu'er beside her.

"Okay, you two hide here and eat watermelon."Zhu Yuanzhang shouted

"Come and try it, I grew it myself."Empress Ma waved.

She, this queen, is different from other queens in history. She also opened a piece of land in the garden of the palace and planted some fruits with her own hands.

Every summer, Zhu Yuanzhang could eat fresh fruits here.

"It's delicious. Girl, cut another piece for us."Zhu Yuanzhang waved while chewing.

Empress Ma cut him another piece.

Lao Zhu chewed three pieces in a row, touched his belly, and was very satisfied:"Sister, let me tell you good news. We just went to Tianji Tower and met our father.."

Empress Ma and Yu (aeee) were both shocked.

Yu'er was about to retreat when Zhu Yuanzhang glared:"Yu'er, you are the queen's daughter, and we are half a daughter. There is no need to avoid it, but remember to keep it secret."

"The servant obeys the order."Yu'er leaned slightly

"Chongba, are you sure?"Queen Ma asked

"Yes, Mao Xiang came back and found out everything. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled from ear to ear,"Oh, Heavenly Master is really our father. Do you want to know the story behind this?""

"Say it quickly."Queen Ma asked eagerly

"That depends on your performance."Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the chair like an uncle.

Empress Ma was not angry and winked at Yu'er.

Yu'er understood, came behind Zhu Yuanzhang and beat his back. Empress Ma sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang and gave him He beat his legs.

Zhu Yuanzhang enjoyed it and said:"Yu'er's technique is still more comfortable.

Queen Ma struck hard:"Do you want to say it or not?""

"Tell me, give us another piece of melon."Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

He ate the melon and began to speak cracklingly.

After listening to it, Queen Ma and Yu'er were extremely shocked. It was as if they were listening to myths and legends again.

"Chongpachi, as my daughter-in-law, do I need to go see my father-in-law?"Queen Ma asked

"Well, you have to go. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded,"As for the children and grandchildren, we can go together after we have made arrangements.""

Queen Ma nodded slowly.

……

The next day, Wuying Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the generals for the last meeting of the Northern Expedition.

Duke Xu Da of Wei, Duke Tang He of Xin, Marquis of Yingchuan Fu Youde, Marquis of Yongchang Lanyu, etc. all arrived.

King Zhu Di of Yan, King Zhu Bai of Xiang, and the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying were also there, as were officials from the Ministry of War.

Zhu Yuanzhang announced:"We are also going to the Northern Expedition, but we will not announce it to the public."

All the generals were numb.

The emperor is going? Then this battle will be difficult to fight.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." Xu Da immediately denied,"You are the emperor now. It is no better than before. If you go to the front line, I will send troops to protect you, and the soldiers will be at a loss."

"Hey, Xu Da, didn’t I fight on the battlefield before? Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily

"You were a handsome man at that time, can you compare?"Xu Da directly criticized

"Your Majesty, I believe that the emperor's personal expedition is either a last resort or a battle that must be won. Tang He spread his hands and said,"Our Ming Dynasty won't win until it is absolutely necessary. As for victory, it's hard to say. Wang Baobao is not a vegetarian.""

"We’re going to book it! Zhu Yuanzhang glared,"I told you, I won't announce it to the public." As for safety, don't worry, we are staying with Heavenly Master. Think about it, who can hurt us in front of Heavenly Master?"

"This... I don't worry about His Majesty's safety anymore. Xu Da asked doubtfully,"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" It's bitter cold in Mobei, are you going to suffer from it?"

"Of course, together with the brothers, he sealed the wolf and lived in Xu."Zhu Yuanzhang waved.

Xu Da and Tang He were not encouraged, but had the same expression: I don't believe you, Zhu Chongba, we don't know you yet? Who are you fooling?

The emperor insists on going, they There is no other way.

However, General Xu Da made a three-part agreement with the emperor: safety is paramount, do not give blind orders, and keep your identity confidential. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

……

Tianji Tower.

Queen Ma came to see the Heavenly Master.

Although her steps were steady, she revealed an unconcealable tension. She clenched her hands tightly, trying to control her emotions.

Although I have been here many times, this time I came to see you as my daughter-in-law.

"My son, Mr. Ma, pays homage to his father."Empress Ma bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang in the pavilion.

"Father? Hahaha, this title is quite new. Zhu Shizhen raised his hand and smiled,"But I'm still not used to it. You can just call me Heavenly Master as usual.""

"yes."Queen Ma hesitated and nodded.

"Why are you still nervous? We had a great chat before. Zhu Shizhen smiled and said,"Pindao is very satisfied with you. That boy Zhu Chongba has married a good wife. Without you to remind him, he would not be so smooth.""

"In fact, I didn’t do anything, it was just my duty as a daughter-in-law."Queen Ma said

"You are very good and know the basics. Zhu Shizhen said,"Besides, only you can persuade Chongba." From now on, if you continue to stare at him, if he makes things difficult for you, come and tell Pindao, Pindao can't beat him to death."

Empress Ma chuckled.

Warmth arose in her heart. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, she was finally recognized.

"Dad, you can take care of him from now on."Queen Ma said

"When you need Pindao to take action, just say it. Pindao doesn't talk, he only takes action." Zhu Shizhen said.

Queen Ma had a smile on her lips, as if she had a backer.

Zhu Shizhen continued to explain:"Pindao will go on the Northern Expedition with Chongba. You don't have to worry. As long as I am here, he will be fine. You stay in the capital, you must persist in practicing, and you must also urge Lao Qi and the others"

"yes."Queen Ma nodded.

"When the elixir is enough, Pindao will help you build the foundation." Zhu Shizhen said

"All listen to dad."Queen Ma said[]

Zhu Shizhen recognized this daughter-in-law very much.

Whether it was the original owner's heart or the fact that he read"History of the Ming Dynasty" in his previous life, this Empress Ma, whose name was not left in the history books, was a virtuous queen.

……

Three days later, the army marched north.

Prince Zhu Biao saw each other off at the city gate.

He stood on the tower, looking at the mighty army leaving, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

Standing behind him was Lu Ben, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Huang Zicheng and Lian Zining who were accompanying him in the East Palace.

"Return to the palace."Zhu Biao waved.

Huang Zicheng and Lian Zining followed him back to Wenhua Hall.

Lu Ben fell behind. Not long after, Qi Tai, the head of the Ministry of War, came over.

"My mentor, the emperor also went out with the army."Qitai lowered his voice and said

"What?"Lu Ben was shocked.

"Not only the emperor, but also the old heavenly master. The emperor and the old heavenly master were in a carriage."Qi Tai said,"I shouldn't tell these secrets, but it doesn't hurt to tell my mentor."

Lu Ben nodded appreciatively.

He did not go to the official office, but to the East Palace.

Crown Princess Lu was supervising the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen's study.

"father."When she saw Lu Ben coming in, she responded and asked,"Is Zhu Xiongying really going on an expedition?"

"yes! Lu Ben nodded affirmatively,"Not only him, but also King Yan, King Xiang, and the Emperor all went on the expedition.""

"A personal expedition? I didn’t hear what the prince said."Mr. Lu was surprised.

"Keep it a secret, just pretend you don’t know."Lu Ben said in a low voice,"It seems that the prince is hiding some things from your wife."

Mrs. Lu frowned slightly.

Then, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth:"It's bitter cold in Mobei, Zhu Xiongying is so young, what if there are three advantages and two disadvantages?……"

"Shut up!

Lu Ben said anxiously,"Be careful that the walls have ears. You must not talk nonsense about this kind of thing.""

"Dad, there are no outsiders here." Mrs. Lu smiled.

"Remember, this kind of thoughts must not be revealed. If you reveal it once, it may be revealed inadvertently next time. Lu Ben looked serious,"A place like the imperial palace is shocking every step of the way, and nothing can be done carelessly.""

"My daughter knows." Mr. Lu nodded.

Lu Ben explained again, and then began to teach Zhu Yunwen how to read.

……

The army marched all the way north.

That night, we camped in the wild.

Suddenly, there was rolling thunder from the sky, strong wind howling, and the military flags roaring.

The experienced soldiers immediately noticed something was wrong and shouted:"Hurry!

Everyone, put up your tents quickly!

A heavy rain is coming!

" As soon as the words fell, huge raindrops began to fall, as if the sky was torn apart.

The rain poured down from the opening.

The ground was instantly turned into mud.

The soldiers, regardless of their fatigue, hurriedly set up tents and moved supplies and ordnance inside.

For a time, the entire camp fell into busyness and chaos. Some soldiers braved the heavy rain to repair tents and fences, while others were busy arranging the wounded and horses.

In a tent, Zhu Yuanzhang walked around anxiously.

And Zhu Shizhen is drinking tea leisurely, very comfortable

"Dad, don’t you think about it later? Don't you know it's raining?"Zhu Yuanzhang asked

"Got it, so what?"Zhu Shizhen asked back

"Then...just be prepared. Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless,"Look at the chaos now.""

"Are you blaming me?"Zhu Shizhen put down the tea cup

"It's your fault, why? Can't I say a few words to you?"Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.

Zhu Shizhen picked up the shoehorn and hit Zhu Yuanzhang. Bang, bang, bang!"

"If you put on the airs of an emperor in front of me, I won't be able to kill you." Zhu Shizhen waved and cursed.

At this time, footsteps approached and he stopped.

Zhu Shizhen put on his shoes and glared:"Hitting your son on a rainy day is idle. I went back to my tent."

He waved his hand and walked out of the tent.

Zhu Yuanzhang depressedly removed the shoe prints on his buttocks, sat down on the main seat, and muttered in his heart:"This bad old man still has such a bad temper, what should he do in the future? We are the emperor now, and we will fight whenever he says."

Just after muttering, Xu Da and Tang He came in to report...
