Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 104 Responsibilities and Obligations

Zhu Xiongying who returned to Yingtian Mansion didn't have much leisure time, mainly because although Da Zhu's condition has improved a lot, she is still relatively weak and cannot work hard.

I can't really watch Lao Zhu so busy that he can't rest. Naturally, Zhu Xiongying can only work hard to undertake some government affairs at this time. Xiongying also began to change a bit.

In the past, the prince came to the ministers every day to listen to the reasons of the ministers to practice state affairs.

Now that the crown prince is ill, the courtiers are also used to seeing that heroic young man standing on the imperial steps. The main reason is that Lao Zhu must have such thoughts, and ordinary people must have no way to stop them.

A new day has begun again, although Zhu Xiongying really wants to stay in bed, but he also knows that there is no way to stay in bed now.Under the service of Wang Chengen and others, Zhu Xiongying washed up, drank a bowl of porridge and ate some snacks, and then prepared to go to court.

Zhu Xiongying wears official uniforms, but in fact, court uniforms are only worn at more formal moments.Moreover, the official uniform of Daming has not yet been patched, and the "dressed beast" has not yet appeared.However, the Wusha hat appeared. During this period, the grades of officials were distinguished by the color of their clothes, the number of beams on their crowns, the boards they held, and the ribbons they wore.

Arriving at the Jinhua Gate, Zhu Xiongying stood calmly.Things like going up to the court are also common to him.

The gates of the palace were also opened at this time, and the civil and military ministers also entered the imperial city one after another at this time, preparing for the next court.

The emperor's grandson stood with his hands behind his back. Even if these civil and military people wanted to get close, there was no chance for them.Just stand on duty obediently, even if you cough at this time, it will be recorded by the picket censor.

When the loud sound of whips came, Zhu Xiongying led all the civil and military officials towards Fengtian Hall.

Lao Zhu was "belated". After the civil and military officials stood up, Lao Zhu strode up the imperial steps. Lao Zhu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, pointed to Zhu Xiongying after the civil and military prostrations.

Zhu Xiongying walked up the imperial steps slowly, stood beside Lao Zhu, and looked down at all the civil and military officials.

Reticent in words and deeds, this is one of Zhu Xiongying's characteristics.Seeing the emperor's grandson like this, many civil and military officials also felt that there was still some difference between the emperor's grandson and the crown prince.The crown prince has been in court for more than ten years, and his experience and skills are sufficient. The crown prince's grandson is still too young, and he is still in the stage of learning.

But only a few people understand that the emperor's grandson is reticent, but it doesn't mean that the emperor's grandson has no thoughts.Although the emperor's grandson is young, he does not lack scheming and wrists.The grandson of the emperor, more like His Majesty the Emperor, kept many things in mind.And after remembering it in my heart, 'the stamina is great'.

Lao Zhu didn't ask Zhu Xiongying to express his opinion at this time. It's good to keep many things in mind, and just talk about it in private.It's just that there are some things that Zhu Xiongying will definitely not treat as ignorance.

Qin Da, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the shift at this time, "Qizou Your Majesty, the clothes, chariots and horses of the kings are comparable to those of the crown prince, the descendants are chaotic, and the rank and inferiority are disorderly. How can you order the world?!"

Lao Zhu began to have a headache. Over the years, many civil and military ministers were talking about this matter at this time.He thinks that Lao Zhu is too generous to the princes, and thinks that Lao Zhu has given too much honor to the princes.

Zhu Xiongying continued to watch calmly, watching the ministers come out one by one, some supported Qin Da, some opposed.Everyone is fighting with each other, and at this time they are constantly mentioning some things.

Seeing that the quarrel was almost over, Zhu Xiongying also spoke at this time, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Sun Chen thinks Qin Shilang's words are reasonable."

Old Zhu was not surprised at all, Zhuo Jing under Zhu Xiongying had also written a book before, and he said the same thing.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Your Majesty, most of the official uniforms of our imperial civil and military officials are divided into colors. It's just that my imperial official uniforms are not uniformly made and distributed by the court, but self-made by all officials. High-ranking officials can wear lower-ranking uniforms, while civil officials It’s okay, but many nobles wear them casually. There are even some officials below the fifth rank who don’t make official uniforms.”

Yes, Daming is so 'dominant' now, the treatment Lao Zhu gave civil and military officials is scary.If you want to go to court, you have to prepare your own official uniform!

Lao Zhu was not embarrassed at all, but some honorables felt more embarrassed.Some earls and viscounts, those who are more courageous, directly wear first-rank official uniforms.These people can be regarded as confident, and feel that there is nothing to care about.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying continued, "Your Majesty, the Emperor Ming has established the country for more than [-] years, and the etiquette system should also be perfected."

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Xiongying, and said rather angrily, "The grandson is right, then you can handle this matter, and there is an assistant manager."

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Civil and military should also be differentiated. Officials at each level, civil and military, have different colors in addition to their official uniforms. They should also be embroidered with birds and animals on their official uniforms to distinguish them, so that people can see them at a glance. "

Lao Zhu thought about it carefully, and said, "Then go discuss it with the Ministry of Rites, and show it to us later."

Qin Da immediately accepted the order excitedly. There is no Minister of Rites in the present court of the Ming Dynasty.The reason is that Daming does not have a minister of rites, and Qin Da still wants to climb up.

As long as he assisted the emperor grandson to deal with these matters well, Qin Da felt that he might have the opportunity to make an impact.

Zhu Xiongying felt that he should do the same to standardize things like etiquette.The current Ming Dynasty can be regarded as relatively stable. After all, it is not the initial stage of the founding of the country. There are not many things that are still in the stage of exploration. At this time, it must be improved.

In fact, even if Zhu Xiongying didn't take the initiative to speak up, Lao Zhu would actually consider these things, and what should be perfected must be perfected.It's just that Lao Zhu will be more worried, worried that Zhu Xiongying will lead this matter, and the honor of the princes will drop a lot at once.

It's not that Lao Zhu is worrying unnecessarily, he really thinks that Zhu Xiongying will do this, and he knows that Zhu Xiongying is not satisfied with the honor of the princes.

In fact, it's not just Zhu Xiongying, even the prince Zhu Biao has some complaints about the treatment of those princes.

But there is no way to do this. Although Lao Zhu loves Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying, some other princes and princes' sons are also his children and grandchildren.The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and Lao Zhu, who is extremely affectionate, can only pinch his nose to recognize it at this time.

In the final analysis, these things are beneficial to Daming, and Lao Zhu can only accept these things.Although he had considered such things before, he just couldn't be so cruel before.

Now there is no need to worry about being cruel. The emperor's grandson is beating the side drums, and the opinions of the civil and military officials seem to be relatively unified.At this time, Lao Zhu really could only pinch his nose and admit it.

It is rare for Zhu Xiongying to speak on his own initiative, which also surprised many civil and military officials.After all, two days ago, even if some civil and military officials accused Zhu Xiongying of not being lenient enough, Zhu Xiongying remained silent.

This matter does seem to be interesting, but in Zhu Xiongying's opinion, it is only slightly interesting, he really didn't think about it, and he didn't plan to do anything more.It is good to continue to maintain a style of few words and few deeds, and you will not speak easily about many important things.

This is really enough for Zhu Xiongying, he really doesn't have so many ideas, just keep this rhythm and pace.

He is considered to be a 'temporary court', and he is only a substitute for the crown prince.When Da Zhu recovers, Zhu Xiongying will continue to withdraw from the court and implement some of his own policies in the world of Beiping Mansion.

With a power center like Ying Tianfu, Zhu Xiongying can naturally fight for some right to speak.But he doesn't want to get too deep here now, it's not very friendly to his series of plans, he doesn't think it's worth fighting for more voices and recognition in the court now.

After going to court, Lao Zhu said to Zhu Xiongying, "Ying'er, when you come back this time, you can also get married."

Zhu Xiongying didn't object, he knew that he could get married at this age.What's more, he is still the boss of the third generation of the royal family. If he doesn't get married, many younger brothers and sisters can only stare blankly.

What's more, in such a feudal era, getting married also represents 'adulthood'.In the royal family, heirs are also an important consideration for the inheritance of the throne, and Guoben is no joke.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying nodding, Lao Zhu couldn't help but look forward to it, "We, Yinger, have to work harder, we can still bring up our great-grandson for a few more years! When we meet your imperial grandmother and your mother and concubine, we can explain it to you." One sound."

"Grandpa Huang has made up his mind. When the grandson has an heir, he will not be raised by him. Grandpa Huang will take care of him." Zhu Xiongying was also happy, jokingly said, "Grandson is too young to take care of children. When the time comes , I still have to ask Grandpa Huang for help."

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Success! Success! Your father was brought up by us, and you were also brought up by us. When you have children, we will bring them up!"

Zhu Xiongying always felt that Lao Zhu was a little overconfident, so can Lao Zhu take care of the children well?
Forget it, let's not dampen Lao Zhu's enthusiasm. It seems that Lao Zhu really wants to have a great-grandson. Now Lao Zhu really wants four generations to live together.If it is true that the four generations can live under the same roof, Lao Zhu will definitely be extremely proud.

Looking at the enthusiastic old Zhu, Zhu Xiongying suddenly felt that his responsibilities and obligations were greater.Although he is not familiar with Concubine Taisun now, some things are so realistic.

Don't say that in today's feudal age, free love is a luxury.What's more, in the royal family, marriage leave is a kind of responsibility and obligation.Perhaps, he really can't be so selfish, and most of the time, he can't look at people and things now with the eyes of future generations.

Come on, this is the responsibility and obligation of the emperor's grandson, Zhu Xiongying felt that he was ready.

Zhu Xiongying is not only the soul of later generations, but also the grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.He has enjoyed a lot of privileges and benefits, so he naturally needs to take on responsibilities and obligations.

No problem, Zhu Xiongying likes this kind of challenge, likes this kind of excitement!
