Chapter 1022 Soaking in Bitter Water
Chapter 1022 Soaking in Bitter Water
My father had a very hard life in the past.
In another dynasty, the young Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at himself. Was he talking about him?
Will he become so powerful in the future and rise from a beggar to an emperor?
In fact, the little immortal had said it many times, but he just thought that they had the same name and surname. He was just an ordinary person who couldn't read a single word. How could he become an emperor? This was something he had never thought of.
It was not until now that little Zhu Chongba and the Zhu family realized that it was really their family that was being talked about!
But things are different now. They will definitely not starve to death anymore. Their dynasty has already traded immortal seeds with the immortals, and they have all been planted. Now they are growing very well, and it will probably be harvested soon.
Young Zhu Yuanzhang had no interest in being emperor, but when he thought of his family members starving to death, tears started streaming down his face, and the whole family hugged each other and cried bitterly.
After that, they comforted each other and everything got better.

Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty looked at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with pride. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rolled his eyes at him and didn't want to pay any attention to him. It was impossible for him to praise Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty had just been so harsh on him. It was impossible for him to praise him. It was already very good that he didn't say a few sarcastic words to him.
When Li Wu saw the interaction between Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizu of Ming, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. No, she felt that if it weren't for Tianmu and her presence, the two emperors would probably fight.
"Ahem, then I'll continue." When Li Wu said this, there was no "interaction" between Emperor Taizu of Ming and Emperor Wu of Han.
"At that time, you, the Emperor Taizu of Ming, had nowhere else to go and could only seek refuge in Huangjue Temple, where you were ordained as a monk. You became a little monk, which was a way for you to finally find a place to stay.
When you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, were in Huangjue Temple, you swept the floor, burned incense, rang bells and beat drums, cooked and washed clothes every day, and were often scolded by the old monks.
But for you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, these were all tolerable, because at least there was a place to take you in and you could have food to eat."
At that time, I didn’t dare to be picky. Just having a place to live was already very good.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, nodded and said, "That's right. At that time, our thoughts were very simple. We just wanted to have a place to live and to have something to eat." Life in Huangjue Temple was not easy, and we didn't have enough to eat every day, but at least we had something to eat.
"But the good times didn't last long, because not long after, a famine struck the area, and the temple couldn't get any alms, so it soon ran out of food.
The abbot could only send the monks to wander around begging for alms, and you, Emperor Taizu of Ming, had no choice but to leave the temple and wander around begging for alms. To say you were wandering around sounds nice, but in fact, you were just begging. Your fate was really rough, Emperor Taizu of Ming," Li Wu looked at Emperor Taizu of Ming. If she had to go through that, forget it, she didn't want to go through it, her heart was not that strong.
She is just a useless little thing, who can't do anything and can't experience any big storms. She just wants to live a simple life.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did not respond. Looking back, he felt that life was really miserable at that time, too miserable, just like being soaked in bitter water.
How could he be so miserable? Miserable things happen to miserable people.
Others felt uncomfortable after hearing this, especially the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. What else could they say after hearing this? They said that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was incompetent, and it was no wonder that they were overthrown later. Look at the lives of the people, how could they not be overthrown?
"It was not until three years later that you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, returned to the temple.
However, at this time, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was not yet a staunch anti-Yuan supporter, and you had not even thought about rebelling against the Yuan Dynasty. You just wanted to live the life of an ordinary person and have enough food to eat. It was just such a simple wish. Yes, to have enough food to eat. "For future generations, having enough food is not too simple. As long as you are a little diligent, you will eventually starve to death.
And if you ask to borrow money on the street, you may not be able to borrow it, but if you say you have no food to eat, you will definitely be fed.
Maybe it’s because many people have been deceived too many times, so they don’t dare to believe it and don’t know whether it’s true or not.
Many people are unwilling to give money, but if they want to give food, that’s fine. You can give it to them. They can eat as much as they want. You really can’t let people starve to death, right?
But it was not like that in ancient times. It was very difficult to get enough food in ancient times.
"We really had only that one wish at that time. If we could have enough food to eat, there would be no Ming Dynasty," said Emperor Taizu of Ming. He really thought so. He could only say that fate was playing tricks on him. The court did not treat the people as human beings and oppressed them. He could not survive.
Many common people in front of the sky curtain agreed with this statement. Isn't that true? What they, the common people, care about most is whether they can have enough food and clothing. As for other things, they really don't care so much. They don't care whether the emperor is good or not, who the emperor is, or whether the emperor is a man or a woman. As long as the emperor can make them live a good life, he is a good emperor and they will support him.
Emperor Wu of Han curled his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He knew that Emperor Taizu of Ming was naturally different from him.
So the ideas are definitely different.
"In 1354 AD, your childhood friend Tang He wrote you a letter.
I want you, Emperor Taizu of Ming, to join the army and do something big. Now the whole country is rebelling against the Yuan Dynasty.
However, when you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, received the letter, you had no such idea at all, and even secretly burned the letter.
But at this time, your senior brother told you that someone knew about the letter and wanted to report it.
Therefore, in desperation, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to join Guo Zixing's Red Turban Army.
This was a coincidence. If Tang He hadn't written to you and if no one had known about it and wanted to report you, Emperor Taizu of Ming would never have taken this path. In many cases, you were forced into this situation."
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, nodded. That’s right. At that time, he had never thought about rebelling against the Yuan Dynasty. He had certainly thought about it in his mind, but he had never thought of himself as the one who rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty.
It can only be God's will.
"After joining the army, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, you were very capable and intelligent, and you knew a little about writing, so you were quickly valued by Guo Zixing.
Soon she became Guo Zixing's confidant. Later, Guo Ziyi married Empress Ma to you, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. From then on, you had a family again.
You also took a formal name, Zhu Yuanzhang."
Li Wu looked at Emperor Taizu of Ming and frowned in confusion. Huh? Why was Emperor Taizu of Ming laughing so foolishly? It was so strange.
Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Wen of Sui also looked over and were speechless when they saw the foolish look of Emperor Taizu of Ming.
"Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, what are you thinking about? Why are you so happy?" Li Wu asked curiously.
The Emperor Taizu of Ming said happily, "Thinking of my sister, I am so lucky. My ancestors' graves are so prosperous that I can marry my sister. My sister is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also gentle and virtuous..."
