Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 122
Lao Zhu is now in the trouble of happiness. His eldest son is the prince of Ming Dynasty, and he has handled the government affairs with ease over the years.Old Zhu knew that even if he kicked his legs now, his eldest son could still manage Daming Jiangshan in an orderly manner.

Civil servants, military generals, honorable royal relatives, no matter which side they are from, they dare not brag and obey in front of the crown prince.

As for Lao Zhu's precious eldest grandson, he has been very smart since he was a child, and the precocious eldest grandson is very thoughtful and talented.Regardless of whether it was the previous sea ban or the fight against Japan, Daming's treasury had a huge income.Now that Changsun lives in Beiping, the construction of Beiping City and the development of Tianjin are all progressing rapidly.

But now that the eldest grandson has military merits, this makes Lao Zhu a little bit embarrassed.

He naturally knew that the prince would not think too much, but it was hard to guarantee that the other courtiers would have any thoughts.The prince does have many civil servants and generals, but the grandson already has a large number of nobles.If this is to contribute to the military generals under the emperor's grandson, it is very likely that the generals under the emperor's account will overwhelm the prince's team.

This is not an exaggeration, the crown prince's number one military general is Lan Yu, but this can still have something to do with the grandson.People like Fu Youde and Xu Yungong were obviously labeled grandsons.

Da Zhu laughed, and said to Lao Zhu, "Father probably didn't expect Yinger to grow up so fast, did he?"

"We know that Ying'er is good at martial arts, and he can tell when he was young." Lao Zhu said angrily, "It's just that we didn't expect that he would be so bold at his age. Biaoer, what makes you stronger than Yinger It's political affairs, the emperor's means. But Yinger's vision, we are all convinced. He fights wars, and we also believe it."

Da Zhu said quite proudly, "My son is better at writing, and Yinger is better at martial arts. Yinger has not been in the center these years, and he doesn't want to manage politics. He has a clever mind, and he will be able to handle it after a while."

Lao Zhu scratched his head and laughed a few times, "Our son is promising, and so is our grandson! It's good now, our grandson is too promising, we're going to suppress him?!"

It is definitely not possible to suppress Zhu Xiongying, but it is definitely necessary to suppress Zhu Xiongying's team a little bit.No matter what, Lao Zhu and Da Zhu didn't want the power under Zhu Xiongying's hands to expand too much, at least not to make people think that the grandson's power surpassed the prince's at first glance.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu can have confidence, and they also know that no matter how Zhu Xiongying grows up, he will not really suppress Da Zhu.But some civil and military people who are not enlightened and have no eyesight may just not be able to see through some things.

In fact, in history, there is no shortage of emperors who favor princes.Liu Shi, the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Chengqian, the prince of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, were also quite favored.But that is mostly because the prince is young, not that the prince is young and powerful.

But Lao Zhu wouldn't. He felt happier because his son and grandson were promising.The ability of sons and grandsons to grow to such an extent is naturally due to Lao Zhu's vigorous cultivation.

At this time, Shuangquan entered the palace lightly, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, His Highness the Prince of the County had a conflict with someone."

Da Zhu really didn't like his third son, Zhu Yunxie, but he was also his second son after all.What's more, Da Zhu knew how Zhu Yunxi was valued and protected by his grandson.

Lao Zhu's eyes were almost red, he was in love with the house, "Who is it?"

Shuangquan prostrated himself on the ground and said, "It's His Royal Highness King Han!"

Han Wang Zhu Song, this is Lao Zhu's No.19 son.This is a very cautious, intelligent, quick-witted, and well-read prince, and he is one of Lao Zhu's more promising sons.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu understood instantly, because Zhu Xiongying wanted to move the capital to Beiping, which was also known by many princes.In fact, they have all heard that Da Zhu originally wanted to seal these princes to the nine borders and become the king of Sai.

But now the frontier army of Ming Dynasty must not allow the princes to intervene, so there is no need to think about it.The land of Jingchu and the land of the south of the Yangtze River, which Lao Zhu and Da Zhu were unwilling to divide, the source of finance and the main grain-producing areas should not be allowed to interfere with the feudal lords.

So these vassal kings are now going to the southwest, northwest, and Lingnan.This also made the princes who grew up prosperously in Yingtian Mansion dissatisfied, and felt that it was their good nephew who harmed them and went to the barren land.

This time Lao Zhu was also in a dilemma, the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh.He is not willing to punish his son, and understands that his son has resentment in his heart.But that grandson, after all, is also a direct grandson, not to mention giving Zhu Xiongying some face.

Da Zhu sighed, and said, "Father, please reward Yunxi with some gold, silver and jade articles. If you don't let him go to inspect Yangzhou, the child will be silly. Over there, the son will tell him say."

Lao Zhu nodded, and then asked, "Biaoer, you say that we are so thankless for being feudal and constructive? You and Ying'er don't like it, and our other descendants also have some ideas."

Da Zhu smiled and said nothing, this topic offended people.

Old Zhu said angrily, "We used to think that Yinger liked to pretend to be stupid, but I learned it by myself, but now I see that she is just like you! I don't want to offend anyone, and I don't want to talk to us, so both of you, father and son, pretend to be stupid for us." Silly!"

This made Da Zhu happy, and raised his head and said, "Father, Yinger grew up with you and the queen mother, but after all, he is the heir of Erchen. The more I look at it, the more I feel that Yinger is like Erchen, not delicate. Said, but also refined. My son is arty, but he looks like a refined and famous official, and Yinger is also successful."

"If our Yinger holds books, we really look like scholars." Lao Zhu was also happy, and had a good chat, "It's just that our Yinger doesn't like to hold books, but likes to hang swords. Let's just say, you and Yinger are fine. , Pretend to be a scholar. We can’t, if you want to pretend to be a scholar, you also look like a warrior.”

Old Zhu leaned crookedly on the couch, chatting with Da Zhu.As for Da Zhu, while chatting, he was mostly reviewing memorials.

It was a brand new day, when the emperor's grandson led an army to attack Mobei and returned triumphantly, all the civil and military honorables in the court were extremely excited.Singing praises is not just for Zhu Xiongying, but also to congratulate the eternal succession of the Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu smiled happily, his son and grandson are all so promising!

Zhu Xiongying doesn't know this, he is still studying the bird gun.The current bird gun is actually a bronze pipe or an iron pipe, which is still quite different from a "gun". This is also something that Zhu Xiongying is not very satisfied with.

Especially in this expedition, these bird guns basically only fired one shot, which is definitely not good for Zhu Xiongying.He doesn't have the heart to talk about replacing cold weapons with firearms now, but these firearms should also occupy more weight in the war, and the research and progress of firearms should also be greater.

"Damn liberal arts students, damn marketing!" Zhu Xiongying scolded in a low voice, "Why didn't I learn some physics and chemistry, and I can't make anything now. Missiles are fine, gunpowder can't be made, glass and soap can't be made." I can't get it out. I guess it took a lot of effort to make white sugar, I am ashamed of being a time traveler!"

The shame of the time traveler may be exaggerated, but Zhu Xiongying feels that he has given a lot of manpower and material resources to the research institute, and he should see some output.Even Zhu Xiongying understands that scientific research or technological improvement does not happen overnight, but he has not seen any useful improvement now, so he can't help thinking too much.

Could it be that these people are given such a good working environment that they forget the spirit of hard work?Or is it these constant preferential treatment that make them lose their self-motivation, and they are here to eat vegetarian meals without fear?

It's no wonder that Zhu Xiongying thinks too much now, the main reason is that these achievements are really hard to talk about, there are no achievements at all!
Seeing Zhu Xiongying's cold face made these officials and craftsmen nervous.Maybe the emperor's grandson usually treats them generously, and these people also feel that their life is very good now, and they will inevitably be secretly happy, feeling that they are valued.

But since they are valued, if they have not been able to produce results, maybe in the eyes of the emperor's grandson, these people will be worthless.There is a high possibility of being beaten back to its original shape, and may even be dispatched or demoted.

Zhu Xiongying kept a cold face and said nothing, and he didn't say anything serious.But his attitude and expression are enough to make many people tremble with fear, and they can't help those people under him to think wildly at this time.

It's not a bad thing to think about it, it's better than a vegetarian meal.Zhu Xiongying gave them a chance, whether they can seize it depends on their performance.

Regardless of the source of the hero, Lao Zhu, the son of an old farmer, can sit on the dragon chair.Zhu Xiongying also doesn't believe in any nobles or aristocratic families. Those who are capable will be promoted, and those who can contribute to the development of Ming Dynasty will be rewarded. This is Zhu Xiongying's attitude, which is very simple and rude.

Back at Fulong Palace, Zhu Xiongying remembered something, "Mother and concubine's birthday, no meat is allowed in the palace for three days."

In fact, there was no need for Zhu Xiongying to say anything, Wang Chengen had already given orders.After following Zhu Xiongying's side for these years, Wang Chengen naturally knew that the queen's and princess' birthdays and death days, and grandchildren would all be sacrificed.

A few days ago, Wang Chengen carefully told Concubine Grandson that what His Highness said was that no meat, no dancing, and no music would be allowed for three days. In fact, according to Grandson's standards, it was seven days.Taisun has always been like this, being lenient to others and strict with self-discipline.

Let's sleep in separate rooms, Zhu Xiongying also feels that these things still need to be considered more fully.In fact, he is also used to this. His every move is watched by many people, and many people are recording, reporting, or discussing it openly and secretly.

For example, in Yingtian Mansion, although many civil servants didn't like Zhu Xiongying's closeness to nobles and martial arts, they never dared to say that Zhu Xiongying was not filial.In their eyes, the grandson of the emperor is pure and filial.

This kind of reputation is useless at first glance, but Zhu Xiongying is very clear that reputation is extremely important in this era.Especially for Guoben, these reputations can be regarded as one of his political capital, so naturally he will not be careless.
