Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 10 The troubled grandson

And there are thousands of mansions, sheltering all the cold people in the world!
As the great-grandson, Zhu Xiongying is benevolent. He hopes that the people of Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment, and that they can live and work without worrying about food and clothing.

"Grandmother, grandson, think it over. Although grandson is still young, he still needs to do more to share the worries of his grandfather and father." Zhu Xiongying said solemnly, "Give me a decree so that I can do it." Something."

Empress Ma was noncommittal, and continued to shake the spinning machine, ignoring her stern grandson.

Zhu Xiongying didn't care, and continued to say with a stern face, "I'm going to the Ministry of Industry, just send me a promotion and deputy envoy who is familiar with the affairs."

"Oh?" Empress Ma glanced at Zhu Xiongying and said, "How much is the promotion? How much is the deputy?"

Zhu Xiongying immediately replied, "The promotion seems to be the eighth rank, is it the eighth rank? The deputy envoy, it seems to be the ninth rank. The emperor's grandmother, one of the deputy envoys of the Charcoal Department."

Empress Ma said angrily, "Remember, your emperor's grandfather appointed one minister last year, with six grades. It is divided into four departments, the headquarters, the Yu department, the water department, and the Tuntian department. One person. Remember, the Ministry of Households is particularly important, and the Ministry of Industry is also important, but it is the lowest among the six departments.”

"Write it down, my grandson has it down!" Shaking Empress Ma's arm, Zhu Xiongying said coquettishly, "Grandmother, if you don't promise me, my grandson will keep pestering you! I promise not to delay my studies, I just Go find some artisans, stewards, do something."

Empress Ma was a little helpless, and said immediately, "You have to read for two hours a day, and you have to play with your younger siblings for an hour. How can you have other time to do other things? What is this kid doing?!"

Zhu Xiongying said as a matter of course, "Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard rule others. The grandson doesn't go to the Ministry of Industry every day. Just keep an eye on it, so as not to waste the grandson's time."

Empress Ma was helpless, and then remembered something, "Your little aunt is about to choose a husband, so I told you in advance this time!"

This time Zhu Xiongying was excited, he seemed to remember that Zhu Yuanzhang killed a son-in-law who was corrupt and broke the law.

The eldest uncle is Mei Yin, the nephew of Mei Sizu, the Marquis of Runan, a son-in-law that Zhu Yuanzhang particularly likes.Not only did Mei Yin have a good background, but also because Mei Yin married Princess Ningguo, the eldest daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang.

It seems that Mei Yin was killed by Zhu Di.

So speaking of it, that's the 'little uncle'.After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's concept, the two daughters are only the two daughters of him and Queen Ma, and they are the real daughters.

Zhu Xiongying quickly asked, "Grandmother, which family is my uncle from?"

"It's a Jinshi of the new department, and it's still being selected." Empress Ma laughed, and nodded Zhu Xiongying's nose, "This time we told you, if your little aunt gets married, don't blame us for not getting along. You discuss."

Zhu Xiongying was taken aback for a moment, "Xin Ke Scholars?"

Empress Ma looked at her grandson and asked with a smile, "Ying'er, why do you think your grandfather chose a Jinshi?"

"The eldest aunt married a noble man, and the younger aunt married a Jinshi, which shows my royal benevolence." Zhu Xiongying said naturally, "Just like the father and king, the mother concubine was born in a noble family, but the side concubine is the daughter of a civil servant."

Empress Ma smiled and nodded, explaining, "Grandson, you have to remember. I act in the royal family, don't act recklessly. In the affairs of the court, you must also remember the balance. Whether you are honored or civil servants, pay attention Balance, let them check each other."

"Grandmother, call your cousin into the palace later." Zhu Xiongying was excited, and said rather gossip, "My cousin is now in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the supervisor of the son of the country. I have to help my little aunt to see her. I know my thoughts best."

"You know?" Empress Ma laughed and said to Zhu Xiongying, "If it's up to you to choose, your little aunt might not be able to get married."

Zhu Zhu, who was pretending to be dead, also said, "That's right! My nephew has high vision. If he wasn't as great a hero as his father, if he wasn't as talented as his brother, he wouldn't like any of them! Let you choose , I can’t get married even if I become an old girl!”

"Auntie, do you like heroic ones or elegant ones? How about finding someone like Pan An for you, who will make people happy?" Zhu Xiongying jumped up to Zhu Zhu, seeming to be more nervous than the person involved, "Don't worry, Nephew will definitely find you a good husband!"

Zhu Zhu pushed away Zhu Xiongying's chubby face, and said angrily, "I listen to my father and queen mother's orders and matchmaker's orders. If the emperor's brother decides, I will accept it too. You? When will it be your turn?" Let me decide?"

Zhu Xiongying got angry, and put his hands on his hips and said, "Auntie, if you have children in the future, you may have to take care of your nephew! I don't care about the captain-in-law, but I will take care of my cousins! If I don't If you are happy, I will let them go to the Dudu's Mansion as the Dudu's acquaintance!"

Zhu Zhu pinched Zhu Xiongying's face and said, "Then I'm going to offend you now and make you unhappy. The governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is from the second rank! No, last year the Emperor Father changed the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to the Fifth Army." Dudu Mansion, the Dudu Tongzhi is from the first grade! I will make trouble with you when the time comes, and make trouble with the left and right governors of the first grade!"

"I know, but I won't give it!" Zhu Xiongying took it for granted and was extremely domineering, "Little aunt, if I'm not happy, I'll give my cousins ​​the Dudu Tongzhi today, and demote them to do things tomorrow! To the Duke!"

Empress Ma thought it was funny, and said angrily, "Ying'er, don't talk nonsense, how can the court officials be such a joke!"

Of course I know this is child's play, who made me a kid now, it's okay to talk about children, it's just cuter!

Empress Ma felt a little headache, and said immediately, "Go to your imperial grandfather and see if he will allow you to visit your little uncle."

Seeing Zhu Xiongying running away in a hurry, Empress Ma smiled and said, "Zhu'er, you have to remember. When you have children in the future, you can ask Yinger to take care of them, but don't make trouble for no reason."

"Mother, I know." Zhu Zhu replied lazily, but also very confident, "I watched Ying'er grow up, and Ying'er treated me kindly. If I don't speak, Ying'er will take care of my heir. If If I open my mouth, he will do it no matter how difficult it is.”

Empress Ma laughed, and also teased, "Aren't you afraid that Ying'er will change if she sits in that position?"

Zhu Zhu is more confident. Royal heirs are not easy. "Ying'er is like father and brother. It's hard to treat others, but if you treat your own family well, you can suffer or suffer. Besides, Ying'er is also me. Watching me grow up, I have this temperament when I was young, my father and mother taught me by example, and my brother also taught me from time to time, so I am not afraid."

Empress Ma smiled and said nothing, but she was also a little worried.

Her son has such a personality, and his grandson also has such a personality. They treat their brothers and sisters well one by one. These two silly children would rather suffer themselves than let their younger siblings be wronged.

It is a good thing to have the tolerance and heart of an older brother, but sometimes it may become a bad thing.

In Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were reviewing memorials. The father and son cooperated very tacitly and took care of the world's major affairs together.

A little eunuch entered the hall lightly and whispered, "My lord, the grandson is here."

Zhu Biao put down the writing brush in his hand, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, Yinger must have something to ask, or will she disappear?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at his son, and said angrily, "You are such a father?"

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let the grandson come in, and don't stop him from now on, it's windy outside."

Zhu Xiongying climbed over the threshold with hands and feet, and then lay down on the ground smoothly.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and the father and son were a little funny: that is, this silly boy thought this trick was useful!
"Grandfather, call Cao Guogong into the palace and let him take Sun Chen to the Imperial College!" Zhu Xiongying said solemnly, "There are many famous Confucian masters in the Imperial College, and there are also many young talents. Sun Chen thinks he is young and talented, so he should be with him." They ask for advice and learn from each other."

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Confucianism? When did you become a Confucianist?"

"My son has read a lot of the Four Books and Five Classics, so he is considered half a Confucian." Zhu Xiongying had a cheeky face, and he believed it himself. "My son has learned a lot from his studies recently, so he should go to the Imperial Academy to discuss it."

Zhu Yuanzhang was amused, and patted the dragon chair, "Don't talk nonsense, we already knew about your little thoughts. Come and have a look, Xinke Jinshi is here. Go to the Imperial College, your little uncle is not in the Imperial College."

Zhu Biao also said, "Father, I don't know who Ying'er learned from. If you ask for something, you are serious. This child has learned to be thick-hearted and dark-hearted, and he still has to pretend to be kind and honest."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest son, who did our eldest grandson learn from?

I have learned your thick skin and black heart, and learned your appearance of a prince who is benevolent, righteous and elegant on the outside, but on the inside is the emperor's temperament with a dark heart and a decisive heart.

Better than us, we are black inside and out!
