Chapter 501 The emperor’s grandson presents treasure
Zhu Yuanzhang's forcefulness caused those present who still wanted to speak to completely shut up.
They all knew that Zhu Xiongying was involved in this matter. If Ye Xuan could not come up with something that satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang, then he would not be able to escape prosecution.
So at this moment, there was silence outside Fengtian Hall, everyone was waiting for Ye Xuan to make a fool of himself.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor, what is there that he has never seen?
Zhu Xiongying was just a child. Even if he did get some treasure, he would probably not be able to catch Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
Some people even think that Ye Xuan's behavior is to delay time and buy himself time to think about excuses.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Xiongying finally walked slowly to the front of the hall holding a box under the gaze of everyone.
Although the little guy is not very old, he does things well.
He followed the rules and greeted Zhu Yuanzhang. Although his voice was not high, it showed his sincerity and seriousness.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened slightly, he smiled and waved his hand, signaling Zhu Xiongying to get up.
After Zhu Xiongying stood still, Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Xiongying, we heard that you are going to give a gift to Grandpa Huang. I wonder, what is this gift?"
At this moment, Zhu Biao was staring at Zhu Xiongying.
He had long known that Zhu Xiongying was going to prepare a gift for Zhu Yuanzhang, but due to various reasons, he failed to know what the gift was.
Although Zhu Biao believed that Zhu Xiongying would not act recklessly, he was too wary of Ye Xuan's temperament and worried that instead of bringing benefits, this gift would become a disaster.
For a moment, Zhu Biao felt anxious, even more nervous than Ye Xuan.
But looking back at Ye Xuan, he was calm and calm at the moment, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Xiongying and the box in front of him.
There was silence outside the main hall, except for the rustling of Zhu Xiongying's dismantling of the box.
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned forward, as if he wanted to see the gift better.
When the box was opened, Zhu Xiongying's voice finally sounded.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson heard that the most important thing for the country is to sacrifice and serve the army. After studying recently, I feel that it is not easy for Grandpa Huang to start a business. I am yearning for it and want to contribute to the Ming Dynasty.
While talking, the first layer of the box had been opened, revealing exquisite lines. Many people found it strange that the box actually had a second layer.
But at the same time, most people are looking forward to it more and more.
After waiting for a moment, Zhu Xiongying continued: "My grandson was practicing with Master Ye not long ago, and he occasionally gained something. He developed this thing, and Master Ye sent people to forge it, and it was successful. I hope that this thing will help the Ming Dynasty expand its frontiers." Protect the land and protect the environment and the people!"
After hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, everyone couldn't help but become more curious, but they didn't dare to speak and could only look around.
Zhu Xiongying said it vaguely, but how could Zhu Yuanzhang not understand the meaning?
As for the practice, most of it involves visiting the Shenzhuo Bureau. As for sending people to forge, it mostly relies on the technology of the Shenzhen Bureau.
But at this moment, in front of so many people, including even stranded foreign envoys, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he could only nod his head to show that he understood.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was even more curious about what Zhu Xiongying had researched, or what Ye Xuan wanted to use Zhu Xiongying's hand to contribute to himself.
As Zhu Xiongying's last step ended, Zhu Yuanzhang finally saw the thing clearly.
It was a strange hand crossbow. The reason why it was strange was that its shape retained the shape of a hand crossbow, but it had many differences.
The jet black frame and the lines formed by fine iron forging illustrate the delicacy and strength of this thing.
It stands to reason that with this size, it must be difficult for a child as big as Zhu Xiongying to pick it up.
But looking at Zhu Xiongying's posture, it seemed like he was playing with a toy, without any effort at all.
Zhu Xiongying held the crossbow in both hands and walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang's throne.
Upon seeing this, the eunuch hurried forward, but Zhu Xiongying directly protected the crossbow in his arms.
"Grandpa Huang, you cannot give this thing to others at will. If something goes wrong, your grandson will not be able to bear the consequences!"
Hearing this, the eunuch looked helpless and could only cast a questioning look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then became dumbfounded.
He naturally understood that Zhu Xiongying was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to assassinate him. Thinking of Zhu Xiongying's age and his performance at the moment, he found it interesting and even more gratifying.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, then stood up without saying a word.
This action has shown everything, and it has also increased Zhu Xiongying's status in everyone's minds.
The Supreme Emperor was able to stand up in person to greet him, and even lowered his rank to greet him. This was very rare in the dynasty with strict etiquette and laws.
Even the favored ministers with high achievements have been able to enjoy this kind of treatment. Since ancient times, only a handful of them have been able to do so.
Zhu Xiongying is just the grandson of the emperor, but now he enjoys the same treatment as Wei and Huo. When the news comes out, who will dare to despise Zhu Xiongying in the future?
You must know that Wei Qing attacked the Xiongnu in the north and Huo Qubing sacrificed his life to protect the country. The achievements of these people were not only for the Han Dynasty, but for the entire Central Plains nation.
Although they were surprised and shocked, everyone was more gloating about the misfortune.
You must know that with this treatment, the gifts presented have no matching effect, which is tantamount to embarrassing Zhu Yuanzhang and the Ming Dynasty court.
Zhu Xiongying is still just a child. If this happens, he will at most be punished by Zhu Biao. Most of Zhu Yuanzhang's anger will be poured out on Ye Xuan.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the final result.
320 As Zhu Yuanzhang approached Zhu Xiongying, his eyes suddenly shrank.
Immediately afterwards, he reached out and took the crossbow from Zhu Xiongying's hand.
"this--"
After saying only one word, Zhu Yuanzhang shut up.
In an instant, everyone's minds were spinning and filled with all sorts of conjectures.
You know, an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, who spent half his life in the military, had seen everything.
What kind of thing would it take to make Zhu Yuanzhang exclaim?
Some were surprised, some were curious, and some were worried.
Zhu Biao was naturally the worried one. Just when he wanted to see the situation clearly, Yi Yuanzhang made a move towards him.
"Prince, come here!"
Zhu Biao heard this and trotted forward quickly. After seeing the crossbow in hand, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked cautiously: "Father, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wait for Zhu Biao to finish speaking, and immediately asked: "Tell us, did you know about this thing before?"
Zhu Biao was startled, but he didn't answer truthfully: "I don't know.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at Zhu Xiongying again, his eyes full of complexity, and his arms even trembled slightly.
For a time, there were various speculations. Some people thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, while others thought that the thing might really be a treasure. .
