The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 132 Zhu Wusi possesses Zhu Ju? Unworthy descendant Zhu Chongba, kneel down!

"Are you Liu De?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the man kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said calmly,

"Look up and let us see."

When the man's name was called, his body trembled suddenly, and he raised his head with difficulty, his face full of panic.

"I...I, Liu De, kowtow to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Bang bang bang!
He stammered a few words and begged for mercy, then kowtowed again.

"It's really you. You haven't aged much. You still look the same as before."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked,
"Get up and talk."

"What crime have you committed that you want us to forgive?"

Liu De didn't dare to stand up, and only with the help of Liu Jizu did he barely stand up.

"I, I was blind and ignorant back then. I treated Your Majesty badly and was... I was extremely cold and cruel and refused to give you the land..."

He was filled with remorse, slapping himself repeatedly, crying.
"This is all because of my lack of vision. I... I am not a human! I am worse than an animal!"

It was bang-bang-bang just now, and now it's clattering.

His forehead and cheeks were already red and swollen... This was quite a cruel move!

There is no other way, it’s all to save my own life!
"Oh, come on, come on, don't break your old face."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said generously,
"Let's forget about what happened back then."

"You gave me that cemetery out of kindness, and it's reasonable for me not to give it to you. It's not a mistake. If I wanted to vent my anger on you, I could have dealt with you when I defeated Zhang Shicheng and recovered Fengyang. Why did I have to wait until today?"

"After all, you are also my fellow countryman. Although I hated you very much back then, when I see your old face now, I feel like I am seeing an old friend. After all, there are very few people like you..."

There was a hint of regret in his tone.

Having come to this point today, not to mention his parents and brothers, even the villagers he knew as a child are few and far between. Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw people like Liu Jizu and Liu De, he always felt a little more intimate.

"Why don't you thank your majesty for his grace?"

Liu Jizu pressed Liu De's head and said in a low voice.

When Liu De heard this, he finally came to his senses and looked overjoyed!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I bow to thank your majesty for your grace!"

He didn't expect that His Majesty would let him go so easily, and even... seemed to be quite friendly to him.

Once he relaxed, his thoughts returned to normal, and Liu De began to envy Liu Jizu again.

If that piece of land had been given to the emperor back then, he would be the one who would be enfeoffed as a marquis for generations now!

Liu De, ah Liu De, you are such a stupid ass!
"How many of our fellow villagers are still alive today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than 20 households. Most of those who did not starve to death have fled. Those who remain are the wealthy families."

Liu Jizu said,

"After several wars, even the rich have become poor. Some families are now living... uh."

When he saw Hu Weiyong winking at him, he shut his mouth and said no more.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

“There are only about twenty households left.”

He said,

"Then let's make them all mausoleum households, and have them guard our ancestral mausoleum for generations to come!"

"This matter... Hu Weiyong, you go and handle it. Only old villagers are allowed to be included in the mausoleum household. Newcomers to Fengyang are not allowed. Do you understand?"

After hearing these words, Liu Jizu and Liu De were very happy.

Being registered as a mausoleum household means eating the emperor's food! For ordinary people, is there any better job in the world than staying in their hometown and guarding the royal mausoleum?
"As ordered, your majesty, rest assured, I will definitely get it done."

Hu Weiyong nodded repeatedly and responded.

"Let's keep this ancestral house as it is. There's no need to repair it, but don't let it collapse."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,
"Let's go, we need to go and take a look at our ancestral graves."

"Liu Bowen——"

A figure emerged from the crowd.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Liu Bowen bowed and saluted.

"I heard that you can read Feng Shui and find dragon points?"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said,
"That's just right. I'm a little curious too. Is it really because of the good Feng Shui of our ancestors' tomb that we can become emperor?"

"Let's go, let's go together?"

Liu Bowen's face turned bitter, knowing that he had talked too much again and attracted the emperor's attention.

But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to regret. He could only cup his hands and say:

"I only have a basic understanding, not a thorough understanding. If I fail to understand the mystery, Your Majesty, please do not blame me."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not comment and looked at his ministers.

"Do you also want to visit our ancestral graves?"

Old Zhu said with a smile.

When the ministers heard this, they all said they dared not do it.

With the example of Hu Weiyong, how dare they go and look? If His Majesty gets suspicious, not to mention their lives, even their own graves will be in danger!
"Your Majesty, we will not visit the Mausoleum of our ancestors."

Li Shanchang said respectfully,

"After a long journey, I am indeed a little tired. Why don't we go back to Fengyang County to rest for a while and wait for Your Majesty to return?"

After these words were spoken, several older ministers nodded repeatedly.

After several days and nights of bumpy ride, I didn't even get enough sleep. I also had to walk on the muddy road with the emperor. I was so sleepy and tired that I could hardly hold on any longer.

There were also some people whose eyes lit up when they heard that they could act separately from the emperor.

"Row."

Zhu Yuanzhang was straightforward and waved his hand.

"You guys go back to the county first, and we'll take the princes to identify our ancestral graves."

……

On the barren mountain, a group of people moved forward with difficulty.

"Is it this mountain? The valley ahead?"

"No, it shouldn't be. We need to go a little further. I remember it wasn't that close."

"This mountain is too wild, full of thorns! Hiss... It hit me again, Chongba, are you sure you remembered it correctly? Why do I feel like it's getting more and more desolate the further I walk?"

"That's right. It's not desolate. Liu Jizu would never have given this land to us. It's just that the road is difficult to travel and it's not easy to cultivate. That's why he didn't want that small hill."

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, their brocade robes had been cut in several places. Fortunately, there were people ahead to clear the way, otherwise, with such a severe situation, their skin would definitely be pierced!
As for who will lead the way...it's none other than our fourth brother Zhu Di who is eager to redeem himself for meritorious service!

Wow! Wow!
Zhu Di's clothes had several holes in them and his face had several scratches, but at this moment he was still gritting his teeth and standing firm, waving the stick in his hand to clear his way.

"Old Four, you can do it!"

Zhu Gang exclaimed,
"I didn't realize you were so strong! You're usually so delicate, but now you're not afraid of anything. Go in now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di ignored him and continued to hold the wooden stick to clear the way.

Click.

Click.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Su also casually broke off a thick branch and joined the army to clear the way.

"Hey, you guys..."

Zhu Gang was a little stunned.

Why are they all like workhorses, not saying a word, just working hard!

Isn't this just an attempt to show off in front of his father, the emperor and his mother?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, broke off a thick branch, and joined in.

"Tsk tsk, my brothers who are able to overcome all difficulties."

Zhu Ju praised,
"come on! Come on!"

"I support you mentally!"

Snapped!
Before he could finish his words, Zhu Yuanzhang had already slapped him on the head.

"Your moral support is shit!"

Old Zhu cursed,

"My brothers are all clearing the way for us, but you are hiding away and taking a break."

"Get to the front! Go quickly!"

As he said that, he kicked Zhu Ju on the butt!

"Hey, don't get close to me!"

Zhu Ju cried out, holding his buttocks and said in dissatisfaction,
"I'm starving, and I can walk pretty well. Why are you asking me to clear the way?"

"You can clear the way. I saw a roast chicken in the lunch box just now. Give me the roast chicken and I'll clear the way!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his brows immediately raised!
"You think beautiful!"

"That roast chicken is for your grandfather! We can only eat it after your grandfather has enjoyed it!"

Zhu Ju curled his lips.

"Then...what about the dishes? And what about the fruits and snacks? I'm not picky, as long as I'm full. I have a problem now. When I'm hungry, I lose my strength. I'm really starving to death!"

He has been practicing martial arts quite diligently recently, and coupled with the effect of the elixir, it seems that his cultivation has really improved a lot. At the very least, his physical condition has definitely improved.

But there is a problem: when you are full, you are full of energy, but as soon as you are hungry, you will not only feel physically weak, but also feel flustered. You will feel very hungry if you don't eat a meal!

So, the food and snacks in those lunch boxes... Zhu Ju is really greedy!

"Well, how about you eat some snacks first?"

Ma Xiuying hesitated for a moment and picked up the food box in her hand.

She couldn't bear to see her son go hungry.

"no!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a determined look,
"There are rules for visiting graves. The food you bring must be enjoyed by your ancestors before your descendants can eat it. You are not allowed to steal it!"

"If you can't even stand the slightest bit of hunger, what can you accomplish? Go, go, go, go faster, we're almost there!"

It can be seen that Old Zhu was very particular when visiting the grave. Not only did he not allow Zhu Ju to steal food, he also asked his own people to carry the food boxes and large and small bags of gold ingots and paper money. He didn't even bring a eunuch or maid.

When visiting the graves of your ancestors, all that matters is the thought, and the key is to do it yourself!
Otherwise, he could just call the Imperial Guards over to clean up the hill and then carry himself up. Why would he have to walk through the thorns here, stepping one foot deep and one foot shallow?

"Okay, there's nothing I can do, Little Orange."

Ma Xiuying spread her hands and said,
"Your father won't let you, so you better bear with it a little longer. We are almost there."

goo goo...

Zhu Ju patted his hungry belly and could only look around to see if there were any wild fruits he could pick to fill his stomach.

Unfortunately, there are weeds and thorns everywhere here.

Apart from some Chinese medicinal herbs he didn't recognize, there was basically nothing, not even a berry.

Wow!

Wow!

Zhu Di and his men were competing with each other, ignoring the damage and scars on their bodies and driving madly.

After crossing three more valleys, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped and pointed at the small slope ahead:
"arrive!"

"That's it! That little slope!"

"Go there, quick!"

He was a little excited and ran all the way up without paying any attention to the thorns.

He has been busy with government affairs in the past two years, and because he placed the tablets of his ancestors in the Taimiao, all ancestor worship was done in the Taimiao. He hasn't been to this old ancestral tomb for many years!
Now that I have climbed up after all the difficulties, I am really excited to see my own grave!
It really feels different to visit the graves on the mountain! It feels more ceremonial than the one in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Dengdeng!

After taking a few steps up the small mound, Zhu Yuanzhang took a closer look before digging the mound out from the weeds.

"Look, this is our family's ancestral tomb! Your grandparents are buried here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed,

"It wasn't easy! I finally found it, but my clothes are all torn!"

The brocade robe on his body was already covered with scars.

However, compared with Zhu Di, it is considered good. Zhu Di worked very hard and now all his clothes have turned into strips!
"Dad, isn't this too desolate? Grandpa's grave is not even taken care of."

Zhu Biao looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but frowned.

"At least, you can fix it up a bit, right?"

He was already the emperor, but he still had to dig out his ancestral tomb from the weeds.

This is too shabby! Fortunately, we are all family here, otherwise it would be a joke if outsiders saw it.

Not to mention the rich and powerful, even ordinary people who are more particular will definitely build beautiful ancestral tombs. At the very least, they have to look tidy.

"Well, didn't we want to move the grave in the first place? Someone told us that if we are rich, we should not move the grave. It is best not to move this ancestral grave."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice,

"Because if we move it casually and break the soil, it may destroy the feng shui of our Zhu family and affect our fortune."

"We didn't believe it at the time, but it was a critical period of the war, and we were a little worried, so we didn't touch it."

"After that, I forgot about it. I didn't move it, and I didn't repair it. It has always been like this..."

Looking at the dilapidated state of his ancestral tomb and thinking about his parents still lying in it, Old Zhu felt a little ashamed.

"Enough of the nonsense, come on!"

"Let's tidy up our ancestral tomb together. Everyone, get started! Men, women, young and old, all help us!"

At the command, Zhu Di and others, who were a little tired, started working frantically again. Even Ma Xiuying and several concubines joined the weeding team.

Only Zhu Ju casually pulled out some weeds and his eyes fell on Liu Bowen.

"Master Liu, how is the feng shui of our ancestral tomb?"

He asked with a smile,

"Is it the peerless dragon vein that gave birth to the emperor?"

Liu Bowen stood on the highest point of the hill, looking around, left and right, but his brows were furrowed.

"This... doesn't seem to be anything special."

He said with some doubt,
"It's just an ordinary tomb. There's no dragon or water outlet. It doesn't look like a phoenix or a turtle."

"Weird, weird..."

Zhu Ju touched his chin.

"You mean, the Zhu family's ancestral tomb is just an ordinary tomb?"

He raised his head and said,

"Could it be that Dad's success today is entirely due to his own hard work?"

Suddenly, he thought of a very interesting legend.

"Let me take another look, and another look..."

Liu Bowen calmed down and carefully observed the terrain and veins, muttering to himself and changing direction from time to time.

After looking at it for a long time, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Master Liu, what are you mumbling?"

Zhu Ju became interested and stopped pretending to slack off. He came close to Liu Bowen and said while gesturing,

"Is it the Dragon Hunting Tactics? To find a dragon, you must look at the winding mountains. Each winding mountain is a barrier. If there are thousands of locks on the door, there must be a king or a noble living there!"

Liu Bowen: “?!”

"Your Highness, King Wu, you know a lot! This is the formula from Yang Gong's "Shaking the Dragon Sutra"."

He was surprised.

"However, it is not used to find caves, but to explore old tombs. Generally, only tomb robbers will study this in depth."

Zhu Ju scratched his head.

Grave robbing? That’s right!
Didn’t I see all this from Ghost Blows Out the Light?
"The formula I'm reciting is not this one. It's a formula for determining the positions of the stars."

Liu Bowen laughed and said,
"As the saying goes, any landform on earth has a corresponding star in the sky. So the best way to find a dragon is to use the stars in the sky as a response. Of course, this only applies to large tombs. This method is basically ineffective for ordinary tombs."

Zhu Ju suddenly realized.

Learned something new!

"Then do you see what's going on?"

he asked curiously.

Liu Bowen shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"That's what I'm wondering about. No matter how you look at it, this is just an ordinary tomb, the kind that ordinary people would find at random."

"For future generations, it can't be said to be beneficial, but it can be said to be harmless."

"It's really strange, what went wrong?"

Old Liu is a little anxious now and has no idea what to do. When the emperor asks him about it later, how should he respond?
Our Emperor Zhu is also a person who likes to hear nice words. If I tell the truth, I am afraid he will be unhappy again. But if I make up a story, he can't make up anything at the moment...

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang shouted:
"All right!"

"It looks much more comfortable now, and the grave mound is exposed!"

"Come on, light the incense and candles first, put all the offerings up, and also the tea and wine, set everything out!"

Swish!
Zhu Yuanzhang lit three incense sticks himself, and after bowing three times respectfully at the grave, he inserted them into the soil. On the side, Zhu Biao led a group of family members to put out tea, wine, food, fruits, and snacks. There were more than 30 items on display, which looked like a street stall, full of dazzling things!
"Chongba, pour the wine."

Ma Xiuying handed the bottle of wine to Zhu Yuanzhang and said softly.

According to the rules of visiting graves, the wine must be poured three times, and only the head of the family is qualified to pour the wine.

"……it is good."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the small grave mound, slowly squatted down, poured yellow wine into the six graves in front of him one by one, and said softly,

"Dad, Mom."

"The unworthy descendant Zhu Chongba has come to see you..."

"This time, we not only come here by ourselves, but also bring a group of boys and girls with us. Look, they are all descendants of our Zhu family..."

"You can rest assured. Not only will our Zhu family not be extinct, but there will be more and more descendants!"

"Biao'er, come here and kowtow to your grandparents. If you have anything you want to say to them, you can say a few words now. It's a rare opportunity to talk to them for a while."

"Please put it bluntly. If it's too profound, your grandparents won't understand it."

Zhu Biao responded and stepped forward, bowed respectfully towards the grave mound several times, and then kowtowed three times.

"Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom are all good, and I am fine too."

He said,

"I hope you will also eat and drink well, and keep us safe and healthy."

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhu Biao and said with a smile:
"This guy is already married, but his wife is still pregnant. We are already urging her to get pregnant."

"When we have a child, I will come to tell you the good news."

Chang, who was standing by, held her stomach with her hand, her face slightly red.

After hearing what the Emperor eunuch said, she felt a lot of pressure!
"Next one, number two."

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered,

"Come in line one by one."

The second son, Zhu Chong, knelt on the ground obediently and kowtowed several times.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let him speak, nor did he comment on him. He just nodded and motioned the third brother to follow.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
When it was the fourth brother Zhu Di's turn, he took a deep breath, fell to his knees with a thud, and his head almost hit the mud!
"Grandson Zhu Di, kowtow to grandpa and grandma!"

He raised his head and said earnestly,

"This time, I am here at the grave of my grandparents, on the orders of my father, to apologize!"

"Before, my grandson did something wrong because of a momentary impulse, and he regretted it afterwards! These days..."

Zhu Di began his words of repentance. Seeing how skillfully and emotionally he spoke, it was probably that he had rehearsed it in his mind many times.

As the saying goes, ten minutes on stage requires ten years of practice off stage! Zhu Di was obviously a talented actor. He did not need ten years of practice to speak such infectious words, which made Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying nod slightly.

There was even a look of relief in Zhu Biao's eyes.

"It seems that the fourth brother is truly repentant..."

While everyone's eyes were on Zhu Di, Zhu Ju's attention was all on the roast chicken. Looking at the roast chicken whose heat was gradually dissipating, he swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but reach out his hand, quietly broke off a chicken leg, and then stuffed it into his mouth with lightning speed!

Mmmm, delicious!
It's just a little cold now. It was brought up here and was blown by the mountain breeze, so it's only slightly warm now. If it's left for a while longer, it will probably be completely cold, and by then all the oil will seep out, and it won't taste good!

He lowered his head and chewed it vigorously, finishing a chicken leg in no time.

The evil hand reached out again...

"Well, Lao Si is not bad. You can say such words. It seems that you have grown up and sincerely repented. As the saying goes, no one is perfect. As long as you can correct your mistakes, it's fine. Get up."

"Old Five, it's your turn."

"Old Six...Old Six? What are you doing? What are you chewing?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised Zhu Di, looked at the fifth son Zhu Su, and then glanced at the sixth son Zhu Ju.

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t look at it, but once he does, he’ll be so angry that smoke will come out of

At this time, Zhu Ju's mouth was full and there was some oil stains on the corners of his mouth!

"Uh-uh!"

Zhu Ju was so frightened by being named that he swallowed hard and almost choked and rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, his throat was thick, so he swallowed the roast chicken in one breath, then wiped his mouth and said innocently:
"what happened?"

"I didn't do anything!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

"What the hell are you talking about! Do you think I'm blind?"

Old Zhu looked at the half roasted chicken on the ground, his face turned blue with anger, and ordered,

"You little bastard, you're stealing food before your grandpa has finished eating. You're trying to steal food from your grandpa!"

"Unworthy descendants, kneel down before us!"

Da da da!
Da da da!
The jade pendant vibrated wildly, and Zhu Ju was forced to kneel down in front of the grave under the pressure of his father.

"Grandpa won't blame me..."

"When a grandson is hungry, which grandfather would not give his food to his grandson? Although I have never seen my grandfather, he must be very kind and love me! If he were still alive, he would definitely give me the roast chicken."

He argued.

And these words completely ignited Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Sweet words and nonsense! You always have a crooked reason!"

Old Zhu was furious and shouted,

"Zhu Biao, go and pick a piece of thorn for us!"

Zhu Biao looked slightly hesitant and could not help but advise:

"Dad, this... is happening in front of so many people. How about you just remember this beating?"

"Please give me some face. I think what he said... makes some sense. The child is really hungry. Grandpa must still feel sorry for him..."

Swish!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced over and said angrily:

"Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?!"

"Today we have to settle old scores together. We have to teach this little bastard a lesson in front of our parents!"

"You don't know the pain until you get beaten!"

Zhu Biao glanced at Ma Xiuying, who also looked tired at the moment, and did not seem to want to speak for Zhu Ju.

Of course, the main reason was that as the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, she couldn't ask for mercy at this time, because this was about treating her parents-in-law. To put it more seriously, if she covered up her son's stealing of the sacrificial offerings, it would be disrespectful to her dead parents-in-law!

Her plea might make Zhu Yuanzhang even angrier, and he might even blame her!
As for the others, they were all silent at this moment, especially some concubines who were not very familiar with Zhu Ju, they were all stunned at this moment.

This Prince Wu, isn't he too tactless? Can't he be more patient at this time?

Now I have made His Majesty angry. I am doomed, right?
"As expected of Lao Liu, this is what he can do..."

Zhu Gang looked at the half roast chicken and whispered,
"To be honest, I was starving, but I didn't dare to move, not even a melon seed..."

Zhu Di and Zhu Su both nodded in agreement.

Hungry, who isn’t hungry?
I hadn't eaten well after the long journey, and now I've been touring, climbing, and just now I was just cutting through the thorns like crazy.

They were already starving, but they didn't even dare to think about eating the offerings, let alone stealing them.

But Zhu Ju dared to think and do it! He even dared to quibble!
This point is admirable...

crunch.

Zhu Biao casually pulled out a thorn with few thorns, looked at Zhu Ju with a worried look, and then handed the thorn to his father.

"Dad, the thorns here are very sharp."

"Please... take it easy..."

Swish!
Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a thorn and hit Zhu Ju on the back without hesitation.

"We told you not to eat secretly! Ah! We told you not to eat secretly!"

Snapped!
"Are you a pig or a dog? You can't control your mouth! Will you die if you wait any longer?"

Snapped!
"We are here to visit the graves and worship our ancestors, not to invite you to go on a picnic. The place is already simple, and you are breaking the rules!"

Snapped!
"You ignored my words, didn't you? I really gave you too much face! Zhu Di came to his senses after being in prison for a few days, but I think you were too relaxed last time and haven't come to your senses yet! Today I will beat you until you wake up!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Old Zhu has a problem: the more he talks, the angrier he gets.

He might have been gentle at first, but as time went on, he attacked more and more frequently, and with heavier force!

A thorn branch whipped repeatedly, leaving blood marks on Zhu Ju's back! Seeing this, Ma Xiuying was very distressed. She stepped forward several times to dissuade him, but in the end she gritted her teeth and retreated, signaling Zhu Biao.

At times like this, Zhu Biao's plea would be more effective.

At this moment, Zhu Ju's expression changed from frowning, to pain, to unbearable, and finally to a hideous look!

It hurts so much!

"Uhhhhhh-"

He wailed, anger rising in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to resist violently!
But Zhu Ju also knew that he was no match for Lao Zhu at this moment, so he had to think of a way to counterattack!

Ways, ways...

Enduring the burning pain on his back, Zhu Ju suddenly had an idea in his mind and he remembered a scene from a movie!
In an instant, he rolled his eyes, his whole body began to twitch rhythmically, and he even spat out a few mouthfuls of foam!
"Uh uh uh!"

"Uh uh uh!"

Seeing this, Ma Xiuying became anxious and snatched the thorn stick from Zhu Yuanzhang, growling:
"Stop it, don't hit me anymore! If you continue, I will fight you!"

"You beat Little Orange into insanity!!!"

She was immediately stressed when she saw Zhu Ju like this! Because Zhu Ju had been in this situation again and again, and became more stupid again and again.

Seeing this scene, she felt extremely regretful at this moment, regretting why she did not stop Zhu Yuanzhang in advance!

What should I do if the old illness recurs?
"This! What's going on..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked when he saw this, and his anger instantly dissipated. He even said,

"Come on... Doctor!"

Just as he shouted, he realized that where could a doctor come from in this remote place? There wasn't even a local doctor!
"Little Orange, how are you? Are you okay?"

Ma Xiuying squatted down, hugged Zhu Ju's shoulders, and asked anxiously,

"Don't scare me! If anything happens to you, how will I...how will I live?"

If that situation happened again, she would definitely not be able to bear it and would collapse!
Swish!
Zhu Ju's eyes suddenly opened and his body's shaking stopped abruptly.

He sat on the ground, stared at Zhu Yuanzhang, and ordered:
"I am Zhu Wusi!"

"You unworthy descendant Zhu Chongba, kneel down to your father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

Everyone present: "???"

What's the situation?
Is the ancestor possessed?

Ma Xiuying stood up suddenly, looking surprised and confused.

"you you you……"

She stammered and couldn't utter a word at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more dumbfounded. He stared at Zhu Ju blankly, looking at a loss.

"You little brat! Your father's words are no longer effective!"

Zhu Ju glared at Zhu Yuanzhang and scolded him,
"Kneel down in front of us! Kneel in front of our grave!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

For a moment, Lao Zhu's mind went blank.

The people around were stunned where they were, completely unable to cope with the current situation.

"This... is really fake!"

Zhu Gang was surprised and said,
"Grandpa is possessed by Old Six?"

"what?!"

"Old Six... he shouldn't dare to pretend like this, right?!"

The other princes were all shocked, but they all agreed with Zhu Gang's words.

Lao Liu was lawless, but they didn't believe that he dared to play tricks at this time...

If he is pretending, then the people serving him will definitely not be as simple as thorn branches. He might really be crippled by his father!

"You! What evidence do you have to prove that you are our father?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had seen many storms before. After a short downtime, he quickly calmed down and said in a cold voice,

"If you were a wandering ghost from somewhere else, how could we treat you as our father?"

Having said that, he was always observing Zhu Ju's expression to see if he would show any signs of guilt or panic.

He didn't believe that Zhu Ju had the guts to pretend to be his father, but he also didn't believe that his father would suddenly possess Zhu Ju. This was simply an extremely absurd thing!

We need to observe before drawing conclusions!

"You unfilial son, you actually need me to prove it!"

Zhu Ju showed an unhappy look and said,

"We all know exactly how many moles you have on your butt!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

"Don't be angry yet. We can't just make a false acknowledgment without any evidence."

Old Zhu rolled his eyes and said,
"Well, let me ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, it means you are indeed our father."

"If you can't answer, hmm..."

There was a hint of coldness in his tone.

If this kid Zhu Ju dares to pretend like this, I will never let him off!
"Bastard thing!"

Zhu Ju said unhappily,
"Ask! Ask as much as you want! If I can't answer, I'm your son!"

Everyone: "..."

Why does this sound so awkward?
Zhu Ju is obviously the son, but if it was really Zhu Wusi who possessed him, then he would really be Zhu Yuanzhang’s father!
This scene looks so weird!

"We have several brothers, what are their names?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

When he chose a question, he would naturally choose one that Zhu Ju didn't know! For example, a question like how many moles there were on the buttocks, maybe the girl had told Zhu Ju about it before.

But when asked about the previous generation, this kid definitely didn't know! Even if he knew a little, it was definitely not that clear!

"We have four sons!"

Zhu Ju answered without thinking,

"The eldest is Zhu Chongwu, the second is Zhu Chongliu, the third is Zhu Chongqi, and the fourth is you, Zhu Chongba!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

However, his suspicion remained.

"Among our brothers, which one has the longest life span?"

Old Zhu continued to ask.

Zhu Ju thought for a moment and said in a deep voice:

"Your second brother should have lived the longest! The third brother died a long time ago, and the eldest brother... when I died, he was also dying. He must have starved to death."

When he got to this point, Zhu Ju started to sweat coldly.

These questions are really unpopular! If he hadn't read some novels from the early Ming Dynasty and was interested in Zhu's rags-to-riches story, he wouldn't have been able to answer them!
There is no record of these people in the royal jade disc!
At this moment, to be honest, he already regretted it a little. He acted impulsively and acted like a grandpa. Now it was like he was walking on a tightrope. If he was not careful, the insightful Old Zhu would see through him, and then... he would be completely finished!
However, at this point, it is too late to regret and I can only continue pretending. If I confess now, the consequences will definitely be disastrous!
His response made Ma Xiuying open her mouth wide in disbelief.

"This……"

"You know it so clearly, could it really be that Dad is possessed?"

"Dad, you... take it easy. Your grandson is prone to having an attack. Don't irritate him. If he has another attack, it will be all over!"

At this moment, Ma Xiuying already believed it about 70%.

Because of these questions, she was sure that Zhu Ju would never be able to answer them!
"Don't worry, daughter-in-law."

Zhu Ju waved his hand and said nonchalantly,
"I know your father-in-law well. The child is in good health now. He's fine!"

Everyone: "!!!"

Many people took a few steps back at this moment, with the look of surprise and suspicion in their eyes becoming more and more intense.

This is too bizarre and absurd! There really are ancestors who possess their descendants and speak!
All eyes were focused on Zhu Yuanzhang.

Next, it depends on how Your Majesty responds.

"If you can answer the last question, then I will really believe it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Ju and saw that there was no flaw in his every move. He was already 30% convinced at this moment, but he still had to ask the questions he had to ask.

He just asked:
"What's our grandpa's name?"

"What's our great grandfather's name?"

"What's our great-grandfather's name?!"

"My father told me these names back then, but I didn't tell anyone else. If you know them, it means you are indeed my father."

"Answer it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to compile a family tree and record the names of his ancestors, but he was busy with government affairs and had not yet started.

I may know my grandfather’s name, but I’m afraid even I don’t know my great-grandfather’s name!
If this 'Zhu Ju' could really answer it, then he would have to believe it.

When Zhu Ju heard this question, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He actually made a point of memorizing them back then, but it wasn't really a big deal because these names were all quite interesting.

"Haha, is this one question? That's three questions!"

Zhu Ju snorted coldly.
"But, don't we know the names of our father, grandfather, and great grandfather?"

"Listen carefully, our father's name is Zhu Chuyi, our grandfather's name is Zhu Sijiu, and our great grandfather's name is Zhu Bailiu!"

"You little brat, you bother me with these stupid questions! If you ask again, I'll beat you up!"
