Zhu Yuanzhang in the cellar

Chapter 6 The goal of life is to make money

After a few slaps, Zhu Yuanzhang was already dizzy and couldn't open his eyes. He only felt a burning pain on his face.

Zhu Yunfeng kicked Zhu Yuanzhang in the chest a few more times before venting his anger. He pointed at him and shouted, "I'm telling you, don't think I won't beat you just because you're older. My patience has its limits. For a thief like you who runs into someone else's house to steal things, even if I beat you to death, it can only be considered legitimate defense, don't you understand?"

Of course, what he said was still just a harsh remark to scare the other party.

After all, if he was killed when Zhu Yuanzhang emerged from the cellar and fought with him, it would definitely be considered self-defense.

But now that the other party has been subdued and then beaten to death, it is self-defense plus intentional injury.

So Zhu Yunfeng didn't dare to really beat the other person to death.

However, the other party's words did make him very angry. After all, from his point of view, a thief who ran into his house to steal things not only didn't behave honestly, but also said that he was his ancestor and cursed him in various ways. It would be strange if he was not angry.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also beaten with a swollen nose and a warm flow coming out of his nose. Obviously, he had a nosebleed. He slowly recovered from the dizziness, and his eyes were burning with anger.

When he joined the Red Turban Army, he was injured many times in battles across the country. This beating was nothing to Zhu Yuanzhang.

But now he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sitting on the throne of supreme authority. He can't remember how many years it has been since anyone dared to hit him. When he was hurt in the slightest, he couldn't help but feel angry.

If looks could kill, Zhu Yunfeng would have died tens of thousands of times.

But in the end, reason triumphed over anger.

Although he was furious, after all, at this age, he was no longer the reckless boy he was in his youth, so the anger in his heart was gradually suppressed.

Most importantly, the Ming Dynasty fell.

The shock this incident gave Zhu Yuanzhang was far more severe than the physical pain.

So he had to get to the bottom of it.

After thinking calmly, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Yunfeng had stopped beating him and was breathing heavily, so he asked, "Are you done beating me? Can we have a good chat?"

"Are you provoking me?"

Zhu Yunfeng frowned.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If bullying an old man over fifty years old makes you happy, then go ahead and do it."

After saying this, Zhu Yunfeng felt it was difficult to take action, so he spat and said, "You've really met me. If it were someone from the village, I would beat you half to death."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered and said, "You said I was impersonating your ancestor. Zhu Yuanzhang is your ancestor? What's your name?"

"hehe."

Zhu Yunfeng sneered and said, "Why? Didn't you find out clearly before you came to steal things?"

"I"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to deny again that he came to steal things.

But now that I have calmed down, I understand one thing.

That is, he did appear in someone's house unexpectedly.

This is an unchanging fact.

And it wasn't an ordinary place, it was in someone's cellar.

If you are not a thief, why would you sneak into someone's cellar?
What's more, he now knows that he is in a world more than three hundred years later, or possibly even later.

Because that person said that the Ming Dynasty lasted for more than three hundred years, it does not mean that the period from the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to its demise was short.

This means that in the eyes of the other party, you are lying, and no one will believe that an ancient person who lived hundreds of years ago appeared in their home.

If it were me, if a stranger appeared in the palace and claimed to be from ancient times and was his ancestor, I would have probably had him thrown out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded. How could I possibly believe him?

So any explanation now is very pale, and it is no wonder that the other party would hit himself so angrily.

This is like yellow mud falling into your crotch. It's shit if not shit.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment before he said sincerely, "I apologize for my impoliteness. I don't know why I'm here. Believe it or not, even if you want to report me to the police, I still hope to have a good chat with you."

"Ah."

Zhu Yunfeng looked the other person up and down.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes were covered in mud and it was impossible to tell what he was wearing, naturally no one could tell anything.

So in Zhu Yunfeng's opinion, the other party was probably pretending to be crazy and stupid in order to get away with it.

But if the other party wants to chat, then let’s chat.

He said, "What are you talking about?"

"You haven't told me yet, what's your name?"

Zhu Yuanzhang now only wants to clarify two issues.

First, how did the Ming Dynasty fall?

The second is whether the other party is a descendant of the Zhu family.

This is very critical.

Zhu Yunfeng frowned, thinking that this old guy would not want to take revenge later.

When traveling around the world, you certainly cannot use your real name, let alone when facing a vicious criminal.

So he came up with a plan and said with a smile, "My name is Shrimp."

"Xiaren?"

"No, it's the shrimp of shrimp and the ren of renyi."

"Zhu Shrimp?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, this name was so strange.

"No, my name is Shrimp."

"So you just said that I was impersonating your ancestor, but your ancestor is not Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Yes."

Zhu Yunfeng said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty is gone, so we must change our surnames, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

how.

After the Ming Dynasty fell, my descendants had to change their surname to Xia?
Could this be a lowly surname from the southern coastal areas?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt depressed when he thought about how he had demoted the boat people and seafarers along the coast to low status many times after he established the Ming Dynasty. He was worried that his descendants would be persecuted and oppressed by the later dynasties and even become low-class people, which would be a shame.

"Why did the descendants of the Zhu family fall to this state?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"What else can we do? It's a different era now. The royal family of the previous dynasty will definitely suffer when the dynasty changes. Besides, even the descendants of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty may not live well."

Zhu Yunfeng sat back in his chair and said lazily, "Besides, how the descendants of the Zhu family are doing has nothing to do with you, why do you care so much?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and was silent for a while, then said, "My surname is also Zhu, and I am also a descendant of the Zhu family."

"Are you also a descendant of the Zhu family?"

Zhu Yunfeng was just about to ask, "Why do you have the surname Zhu? How can you be worthy of the surname Zhu?"

I am Zhu, and I can't be a thief even if I have to beg for food.

But suddenly he shuddered and thought of something.

As expected, his surname was Zhu, and as expected, he was very clear about the value of the stone tablet.

According to the family tree, the Prince Ji's Palace had always been passed down from generation to generation. The first Prince Ji, Zhu Jianjun, had only one son, but he died at the age of 31, leaving a grandson, Zhu Houzhao, to inherit the throne.

Zhu Houtao also had only one son, named Zhu Zaijun. It was not until his generation that the Prince Ji's Mansion broke free of the fate of three generations of single-line inheritance and gave birth to four sons.

However, the second legitimate son Zhu Yizhen died shortly after becoming Prince of Ji, but his three illegitimate sons grew up successfully.

Among them, Zhu Zaijun's eldest son Zhu Yiluan took over and became the fifth Prince of Ji. Zhu Yiluan had three sons, and his two brothers Zhu Yiting and Zhu Yixuan also had children.

Basically, it was during the generation of Zhu Zaijun that the lineage of Prince Ji of Changsha became prosperous and gradually began to prosper.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were six people in the Chang generation of Ji clan, more than ten people in the Ci generation, and more than twenty people in the Ji clan. It can be said that the family had taken root and grown.

As a result, just when Prince Ji's lineage was finally about to become a big family, the Ming Dynasty fell.

Zhu Yunfeng's ancestor came from Zhu Changji, the third son of Zhu Yiluan.

In the 24th year of Wanli, Zhu Changji was conferred the title of Prince of Fuqing with the title of General Zhenguo. He had five sons. Among them, Zhu Cibei, the second son of the fourth son Zhu Yourong, was the direct ancestor of Zhu Yunfeng who fled.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cibei fled to the deep mountains and forests with the stone tablet, his wife and children, and became the ancestor of Zhu Yunfeng's lineage.

However, the Ci generation was already quite large at that time. In addition to Zhu Cibei, there were many brothers of the same generation and clan of all ages, and many of the previous You generation were still alive.

For example, Zhu Youzhi, Zhu Youdong, etc., each fled separately. Some went to Longwu, some went to Yongli, and some hid and disappeared without a trace.

Some of the tribesmen were captured by the Qing Dynasty, and some must have hidden themselves under different names just like Zhu Cibei.

The person now is most likely the descendant of the other Zhu family descendants who escaped that year. This guy is probably an idle second-rate guy who doesn't work hard to find a class to attend and has his eyes on the stone tablet passed down from his ancestors.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Zhu Yunfeng said in amazement: "I knew you were here to steal the stone tablet. Now you can tell me."

"say what?"

"How much is the stone tablet worth?"

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally saw through it.

This descendant of ours is probably obsessed with money and can't get out.

All I think about is money.

He couldn't help but ask, "You only care about how much the stone tablet is worth?"

"Why not?"

Zhu Yunfeng sat in front of the computer and opened a video on Bilibili.

His computer had headphones and speakers, and after unplugging the headphone jack, the video sound came out.

Then I saw the deafening voice of life mentor Zhang Shihao: "I am not in the mood to listen to their bullshit romantic love stories now. What I want most now is money!"

"did you see."

Zhu Yunfeng pointed at the video and said, "Life is not just about money, but if you want to live the life you want, you must have money. With my income, it's already very tiring to raise a dog and a cat, not to mention buying a car, a house, and getting married. If not for money, what else? Besides, how dare you say that to me? Aren't you stealing for money too?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes.

Everyone has his or her own purpose.

Obviously.

The purpose of this descendant of mine is money.

Now he has figured out the situation.

After coming out of the Qianqing Palace, in that thunderstorm, I inexplicably came to the future hundreds of years later.

Then there are two problems that you have to face.

1. Can I go back?

Second, what happened after the Ming Dynasty and how to change the outcome of the Ming Dynasty’s demise.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually had a guess about the first point.

It should be that stone tablet.

Because he was in the collapsed ground outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and the carriage fell into it, he instinctively climbed out of the carriage window.

As a result, he grabbed a stone tablet while groping, and then was buried by a large amount of soil.

Then he appeared next to the stone tablet in the cellar.

So it can be predicted that the stone tablet must have some special mysterious power that allows him to come to the afterlife.

If you want to go back, the breakthrough should still be on that stone tablet.

Now that the first problem has a solution, the second problem may also be solved.

Zhu Yuanzhang fixed his eyes on Zhu Yunfeng, showing a brilliant smile, and said in a very tempting voice: "I can tell you how much the stone tablet is worth, and I can even give you money, but the prerequisite is that you can answer my questions."

As long as people have weaknesses, things will be easy.

inducement.

It is a good choice.
