Chapter 002: Borrowing Ancestors
Zhu Yuan also noticed the change in Hua Gao's expression after hearing his name, and could only smile bitterly. He didn't have time to think too much at first, so he just changed his surname and kept his first name. Only later did he realize that the pronunciation overlapped with 'Zhu Yuanzhang'.
It's too late to change, so I have no choice but to do this.
Seeing Zhu Yuan bowing down, Hua Gao quickly put away his surprise at the name, smiled like a kind grandfather again, and almost took out a stack of martial arts secrets on the spot.
Taking a step forward, Hua Gao helped up the little boy who seemed to be about to fall down due to the wind. Hua Gao held Zhu Yuan's little hand and looked down at him. He had a sickly pale face that looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old. It was wrapped in thick skin.
Qiu, but on the contrary, she looks even thinner, like the kind of delicate little girl raised in a boudoir by a gentry family in the past.
The memory flashed by. Hua Gao stopped his thoughts, made his face more kind, and said: "This... scholar, there is no need to be polite. Don't listen to those names commanded by Mao. I am just in charge of the navy.
I came here specifically to say thank you. This time I got a job from my lord to escort the baggage. The grain boat blocked the waterway the night before. Those useless idiots, I have to order them to be killed. Who wants to say a word to Xiucai Gong?
He helped me out of trouble, and he is indeed a worldly expert that even the Lord likes."
Zhu Yuan listened to Hua Gao's series of remarks with the unique accent of this era, and already remembered some information about this person.
A guy who is much more interesting than Mao Xiang.
Realizing that the other party was still holding his little hand and squeezing it gently, Zhu Yuan gave it a cold shudder, but failed to pull it back. He could only say politely: "My lord, you are exaggerating. I only hope that the villain's nonsense will not miss the important event."
"
As he spoke, he recalled what happened the night before.
During the Northern Expedition, the Grand Canal, which is the main transportation route between the north and the south, is full of ships at all hours of the day. The decline of the Yuan Dynasty has caused the canal to fall into disrepair, become silted and narrow, and often cause congestion. This is also the 800-mile journey for their party.
The main reason why I was gone for eleven days.
The day before yesterday, we encountered a ship jam again. Zhu Yuan went out to watch the excitement and casually mentioned it to Xu Wu. Unexpectedly, he was passed on and executed.
One word of truth: keep to the right.
It is a piece of traffic common sense that could not be simpler for future generations.
When he found out that the matter was settled, Zhu Yuan felt a little regretful.
According to the plan, in order to reduce the butterfly effect and keep the following history as original as possible, Zhu Yuan needed to avoid interference with this era as much as possible within three years. Unexpectedly, a 'butterfly' was accidentally released. Afterwards, he only
We can hope that this 'butterfly' will not have too big a subsequent 'effect'.
Hua Gao still held Zhu Yuan's little hand and shook his head and said: "That's nonsense. I even wrote it down in the booklet and sent it to the lord to ask for credit. That's it, I helped Xiucai Gong make some corrections.
After a while, my lord issued an order in October to respect the left, so I changed to keep on the left."
this……
Zhu Yuan was speechless.
Just be left, as long as everyone is happy.
After dealing with it patiently, Hua Gao has skillfully changed the subject: "Master Xiu Cai, it's just the right time for you to come out. General Xu's Northern Expedition is in full swing, and the world is about to be in jeopardy. Also, my lord was persuaded by the ministers to move in a few days ago.
You are about to ascend the throne, and with your knowledge, you will gain a good family background, and you will be granted a wife and a son in the future."
Zhu Yuan agreed and listened, already starting to complain in his heart.
Seeing the old man who was holding his little hand and not letting go, talking and talking, and staring at him affectionately, Zhu Yuan finally understood that he was not here to say thank you, but to see how he was being treated.
Of course Hua Gao came to see Qi Xiang.
At this moment, he kept holding Zhu Yuan's little hand, just to get a little more of the strange man's immortal energy. If this immortal energy could solve his long-standing heartache, he would be willing to kneel down and kowtow to the young boy in front of him.
This is a true outsider!
When a master from outside the world comes out of the mountain, that is a surprise that can only be found in a storybook.
Because the bold words of "send five hundred years to the country" spread quickly, Zhu Yuan seemed calm on the surface, but secretly he was quietly looked at by countless ministers and generals under Zhu Yuanzhang's command.
The lack of further contact was partly due to Zhu Yuan's own attitude of actively rejecting others, and partly to avoid suspicion.
Zhu Yuanzhang even strictly prohibited his subordinates from recruiting Confucian scholars privately. What do you want to do when you get together with such an outsider? Do you also have thoughts about the 500-year-old Guo Zuo?
In the small courtyard now.
Hua Gao was like an unreasonable exception, still holding Zhu Yuan's little hand cordially and chatting.
This is not the case.
Hua Gao came here to see something rare, but he also had his own purpose. He also knew that this was a bit taboo. However, he, Lao Hua, had already planned to disband his troops and return to his fields after his master ascended the throne, and no longer seek advancement, so he would not arouse any suspicion.
The master in front of me... Although, he seems to be a little worse than Mr. Wolong in the song "Feather Fan Lunkerchief", but he, Lao Hua, is not someone who judges people by their appearance. After all, he is not a Zhou Zhengren.
Moreover, Hua Gao had no doubt at all about this young boy's strangeness.
Because of the extremely simple sentence he said the day before yesterday, "Keep right" that saved him a lot of trouble.
And because, most importantly, my lord has a strict temper that can't be rubbed out of his eyes. Privately, even Mr. Song Lian looks down on him and thinks he is a rotten scholar. If not for the great ability of the young man in front of him, he would dare to shout "
Such big words as "sending five hundred years to the country" had already been cut off with a knife. How could Mao Xiang, a close confidant, be appointed to lead a thousand soldiers to escort him along the way.
There is also news in Jinling City that the lord has issued three orders to Xu Da and Mao Xiang in recent days, all for the sake of this master, repeatedly telling them to take good care of him and not to neglect them.
Hua Gao was also curious about the contents of General Xu's long letter and the so-called secret map drawn by the young man in front of him, but he knew that asking about this would be a taboo.
Knowing that he couldn't stay here any longer, Hua Gao finally changed the subject after a few more words. His kind eyes were a little more earnest, which made Zhu Yuan even more furious: "Master Xiu Cai, I have something else that I don't know about. Do you understand?"
Medical skills?”
Zhu Yuan was stunned.
Where does this go?
Suddenly, he realized that apart from looking strange, this should be the main purpose of Hua Gao coming to see him.
No wonder!
He didn't have a lollipop in his hand, but this guy looked like he was going to sell "Tathagata Palm".
This is asking for something from yourself.
However, I glanced at the middle-aged man in front of me. Although he looked like an old farmer who had worked too much hard work and was aging prematurely, his thinness still revealed the vigor of a military general, and he did not look sick at all. What's more, Zhu Yuan's own life was on the line.
The doctor Dai who rescued him didn't know any medical skills. He could only shake his head: "Sir, I don't know medical skills."
Hua Gao looked disappointed, but he didn't give up. His little eyes were full of hope: "I really don't understand?"
Zhu Yuan noticed that the expressions of Mao Xiang and others around him were full of weirdness, as if they had seen this kind of scene before. He was confused and helplessly shook his head again: "I really don't understand."
Hua Gao sighed, his eyes instantly dimmed, and finally let go of Zhu Yuan's little hand, but he quickly forced a smile on his face, chatted for a few more words, and said goodbye with fists in his hands.
Zhu Yuan sent several people out of the flower hall. He saw Hua Gao and Mao Xiang turning to the moon gate on one side and were about to turn around. Suddenly they heard Hua Gao not far away saying to Mao Xiang: "Commander Mao, I heard that Zhengsheng and Xiucai Gong were together.
Come back, where is he? I recently got another prescription, can I ask him to help me?"
Zhu Yuan paused in his steps.
Rebirth?
Who else has been reborn?
Looking at Xu Wu next to him, Zhu Yuan hesitated and asked: "General Hua just said...rebirth?"
Xu Wu nodded slightly without knowing why. Seeing Zhu Yuan's confusion, he took the initiative to explain: "Dai Taiyi means rebirth."
Only then did Zhu Yuan understand.
Thinking about it again, the doctor Dai who accompanied him to treat his illness was named Sanchun. According to the ancient rules of naming words that usually have the same meaning as the name, the word "rebirth" is not 100% appropriate, but it seems to be quite reasonable.
It's just that, a reborn person suddenly hears people around him shouting "rebirth", "rebirth", this is too scary.
Zhu Yuan came over slowly and thought about Hua Gao just now. He couldn't hold it back and asked Xu Wu again: "Why did that gentleman just come to me for medical treatment?"
Xu Wu leaned closer and whispered: "General Hua has no heirs."
Zhu Yuan suddenly realized.
In this age, it is important to have no children. Considering that Hua Gao has just passed the age of fifty, and now he does not have a son and a half, he must be anxious.
They were all so sick that they rushed to the doctor.
Zhu Yuan suddenly understood some of Hua Gao's actions recorded in relevant historical materials in his memory.
As he walked back into the house, Zhu Yuan thought about his 'rebirth' just now. His thoughts were a little nonsensical. Or, can I give myself a word and call it 'travel'?
Zhu Yuan, also known as Chuan Chuan.
This meaning is completely inappropriate. If I want to match such an "exquisite" word, my name must be changed. Perhaps, I can call it... Zhu Hui.
It's a pity that the original name was kept, because according to a friend who was a real descendant of the Zhu family in his previous life, Zhu Yuan's name happened to fit in with the Zhu family's five elements of reincarnation, being three generations younger than the other person.
Just thinking about it.
Many settings surrounding the name "Zhu Yuan" have been planned and it is impossible to change them.
However, in the future, my son... No, earth is born with gold, and metal is born with water, so he should be a grandson. If everything goes well and he has a grandson in the future, he may be called Zhu Hui, whose name is Time Travel.
To commemorate my lost time in time travel.
I also remembered my best friend in college who was so good that he could change clothes at will, and I felt emotional.
If he hadn't been reminded of the glory of his ancestors by others during his college years, and even went so far as to write a copybook of "Ancestor Instructions of the Emperor Ming" to hang on the wall of his dormitory, Zhu Yuan would not have known so much about the history of the Ming Dynasty. This time
It is also difficult to generate a fake plan.
Brother, you teased me so many times that I am three generations younger than you. Now, in order to live stably in the Hongwu Dynasty, which can be called the Shura field of civil servants and military generals, it is not too much to borrow from your ancestors for a while, right?
