As soon as he finished speaking, the other two emperors immediately stood up with expressions of panic.

"Are you Taizu?"

"Taizu? I'm not dead yet, how can I become Taizu? I am the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty - Emperor Hongwu." The middle-aged emperor said, taking out a jade ruyi from his arms.

"Look, this is ours. Luckily it wasn't broken just now."

When they saw the jade ruyi, the two emperors were shocked and knelt down.

"Future generations will pay their respects to the Emperor's great-grandfather."

"Future generations will pay tribute to Taizu."

After crossing over, the few people have been in a state of high tension and have not communicated with each other. Only then did the two realize that they had actually met their ancestor - Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Please stand up without any formalities." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Who are you? I have never seen you before."

"Old Ancestor, I haven't seen you before," the young emperor said. "It's been over two hundred and sixty years since we last met."

"what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked surprised and doubtful, and the young emperor was also startled.

At this time, Su Jiahe, who was sitting next to him, had already learned the identities of the other two emperors based on the content of the conversation.

The young emperor who called Zhu Yuanzhang his "imperial great-grandfather" was Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji. The young emperor holding a musket should be the last emperor Zhu Youjian.

The Ming Dynasty lasted a total of 276 years, and he was the only one whose reign was more than 260 years longer than Zhu Yuanzhang's. Moreover, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old when he ascended the throne.

"Don't be surprised," Su Jiahe said, "You all come from different worlds, so you can meet across time and space. It's like you came to my world and saw me hundreds of years later."

"What is time travel?"

After listening to Su Jiahe's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang still seemed confused, but Zhu Zhanji seemed to have suddenly understood.

"I think I understand. Buddha said, 'One flower, one world; one leaf, one bodhi tree.' In every world, there is a similar me. In my great-grandfather's world, I wasn't even born yet, but in my world, I've already grown up."

"Oh, so that's it." After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Don't stand, both of you. Sit down and eat together. It's hundreds of years later, so don't be so hesitant. It's rare for us to meet our descendants."

"Thank you, great-grandfather."

"Thank you, Taizu."

The two sat next to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the atmosphere finally eased a little.

"Oh, by the way," Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Zhanji, "Boy, I heard you call our great-grandfather, are you Biaoer's grandson?" As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhanji immediately froze in place and then broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhu Youjian also quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

Both of them knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen, and their ancestor Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign and seized the throne.

"Why are you silent? What's your name, Zhu Wen?"

With a "bang", Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Youjian both knelt on the ground again.

"Great-grandfather, your grandson is unfilial, your grandson Zhu Zhanji."

"Younger generation Zhu Youjian."

Their heads hit the ground hard, and their backs fell down, motionless.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the two people introduce themselves, his pupils suddenly shrank and the glass in his hand fell to the ground.

"You...are all from the Fourth Brother's family?"

Zhu Yuanzhang created a family tree for each of his sons, so one could tell who their descendants were just by hearing their names.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Youjian did not dare to answer, but just kowtowed and confessed their guilt.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind went blank. He leaned back in his chair for a while before coming to his senses.

"Tell me the truth, which generation of yours started to become emperor?"

"Replying to great-grandfather, it was grandfather..." Zhu Zhanji said in a low voice.

"It's really the fourth brother!" Zhu Yuanzhang got furious when he heard this and swept all the dishes in front of him to the ground.

"I just died, and he rebelled against Big Brother? How dare he? Biao'er, what did I teach you? You can't even control your younger brother!"

"What's going on?" The door to the private room suddenly opened. The waiter, perhaps thinking someone was drunk and mad, looked at the debris on the ground with a bit of horror.

"It's okay, it's just a family conflict. You can go out first." Su Jiahe raised his eyes and said lightly.

After the waiter left, Su Jiahe slowly said, "Emperor Hongwu, don't be angry with the prince. He didn't even live to ascend the throne."

"What did you say!" Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes wide and froze.

"Biao'er is always full of energy. We were just drinking at his wedding wine. How come..."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang traveled through time, it was the day of Zhu Biao's wedding. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had only been on the throne for a few years and was only in his forties. The family was full of loving couples and filial sons.

Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Youjian, who were lying on the ground, exchanged glances. Both knew what happened next, but neither dared to say anything.

"What about Biao'er's descendants? Didn't they succeed to the throne?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked hurriedly.

"Later, you appointed the second son of Crown Prince Zhu Biao as the Crown Prince. However, after this Crown Prince ascended the throne, he was too ruthless in reducing the power of the princes. Several of your sons were exiled, deposed, or killed. To protect himself, Zhu Di pretended to be crazy for many years before launching an attack on Yingtian."

At this time, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Youjian both secretly looked at Su Jiahe with grateful eyes.

After all, in front of the inviolable majesty of the Ming Taizu, Su Jiahe spoke a fair word for Zhu Di.

"Are you serious?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it. He came from a humble background and suffered a lot before becoming emperor. His greatest wish was that his descendants would never suffer again, but he didn't expect his sons to be so miserable.

"Forget it, Emperor Hongwu. After all, these things haven't happened to you yet. The Crown Prince is still young and strong. If you take care of your health and take precautions, everything can be turned around."

After hearing what Su Jiahe said, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down a little.

"It's because God couldn't bear to see our family destroyed that he gave us a chance." After saying that, he looked at the two emperors on the ground.

"You two get up, we don't blame you."

After Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Youjian kowtowed to express their gratitude, they stood up and sat down, and the three of them ate together.

"Hey, the food in the future is pretty good!" Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a piece of beef brisket with tomatoes and said, "What is this sour and sweet thing?"

"My dear ancestor, this thing is called tomato, and it is a kind of fruit and vegetable." Zhu Youjian replied.

Tomatoes were introduced to China during the Wanli period, so among the three, only Zhu Youjian knew about them.

"What is this? Great-grandfather, please try it. It's sweet and sticky." Zhu Zhanji picked up a piece of candied sweet potato and put it on Zhu Yuanzhang's plate.

"This is sweet potato, which is easy to grow and grow. After it was introduced to the Central Plains, it filled the stomachs of many people." Zhu Youjian answered again.

The three of them were busy enjoying their meal, but Su Jiahe had no appetite at all. She leaned on the table with her arms, her chin in her hand, staring at her phone, waiting for a response from the police. Thinking of Bai Xueyun, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Miss Su, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with concern when he saw Su Jiahe crying.

"Actually, I have a friend who was kidnapped by them and used as bait, so I was tricked into going there and was kidnapped. Now I have escaped, but my friend's life or death is unknown."

Su Jiahe didn't want to bring negative emotions to the tourists, but at this moment, she was really sad.

"This thief is too rampant!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Miss Su has just gone through a great adversity today, and yet she has to entertain us. It's really unkind of her," Zhu Zhanji said. "Why don't you go home and rest first, and we can go for a walk on our own."

Suddenly, Su Jiahe's cell phone rang.

"This number is...Xueyun?"
