Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 140 No change
Zhu Xiongying, who was carrying a food box, walked slowly towards the Qianqing Palace. Throughout November and the twelfth lunar month, everyone was busy without touching the ground.

As the eldest son, Zhu Xiongying naturally needs to be buried.Da Zhu was buried on the east side of Xiaoling Mausoleum, and was posthumously named "Prince Yiwen".That is to say, although Da Zhu once presided over and handled some government affairs, in terms of name and position, Da Zhu is only a prince.

If one day Zhu Xiongying ascends the throne, he can honor his father Zhu Biao as emperor, and this seems to be the only way to go.

Now there is no way to think about anything about the New Year. There is no such mood or emotion at all. The current palace is still filled with a sad atmosphere.Even if some people are secretly happy or indifferent, they should pretend to be sad at this moment.

Otherwise, these things will become complicated, and maybe the very suspicious old Zhu will think of something, and it will not be very pleasant at that time.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming, Lao Zhu raised his head and said, "Go back and rest earlier, I'm tired these days."

"I know, I'll let someone wait for me to wash up later." Zhu Xiongying ordered the meal and said, "Grandpa Huang also came to eat something, it's all light."

Lao Zhu nodded, picked up the big bowl with a flat expression, and took a sip of porridge, "The whole twelfth lunar month is messy, and the new year is not going well. Is everything okay with your father?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and his voice was still calm, "Father and mother were buried together, and I went to see the emperor's grandmother yesterday. It happened to be able to see that these years, the emperor's grandmother and the mother-in-law are family members, and my father will take care of them first."

Lao Zhu ate in silence. In fact, he still couldn't accept that his most beloved eldest son and carefully trained successor were just gone!
The grandpa and grandson ate in silence. In fact, neither of them had a very good appetite. They just wanted to fill their stomachs.

After a moment of silence, Lao Zhu asked, "Do you know that there have been discussions in the court recently, saying that we should have a crown prince?"

"Establish a crown prince?" Zhu Xiongying was puzzled and also felt strange, "The grandson's age is just right, and he is the son of the lineage, so it is suitable for the ceremony. If the emperor's grandfather wants to establish a crown prince, he can only be the second uncle. "

Old Zhu shook his head, and said, "Don't mess around, your uncles have some thoughts after all. Being a prince is not as good as being an emperor. Yinger, you said that if one day we are gone, your uncles Will they convince you?"

In the past, Lao Zhu really didn't worry about the princes, because he felt that as long as his prince came to the throne, those princes would still be good brothers.But it's different now, and Lao Zhu will inevitably be a little worried.

The crown prince here has just disappeared, and some vassal kings are eager to try.Even if those people knew that the emperor's grandson was favored and that the emperor's grandson had a strong team, they also knew very well that there was still a big difference between the prince and the prince, and the dragon chair was even more irresistible.

Zhu Xiongying was also a little confident, and didn't think there was anything to worry about, "Grandpa, with such a powerful grandson, what else is there to be afraid of? The emperor's uncles may not just want to fight with me, they just have a bad temper."

The reason for saying this is mainly because in this day and age, it is basically a 'child inherits the father's business'.Zhu Xiongying's uncles more or less felt that the throne should be passed on to their sons rather than to their grandchildren, that's all.

Lao Zhu nodded, and then asked again, "It's good that we are alive, if we also kicked our legs, maybe you will fight too."

Zhu Xiongying wasn't very worried about this, and said with confidence, of course, "The emperor's uncles are not stupid, as long as the grandson is not too over the top, even if you give them some courage, they will not dare to rebel. Grandpa, don't think too much about it. "

Old Zhu gave Zhu Xiongying an angry look, but he basically agreed with Zhu Xiongying's point of view.Although the vassal kings of Ming Dynasty had a little strength, they were only a little bit strong, and there was a huge gap in strength between them and the central court.

The grandfather and grandson also just chatted briefly. In fact, Lao Zhu had obviously considered Zhu Xiongying's position, and he naturally knew that some of his sons had some thoughts at this time.

But this kind of thing is just a little thought, whether it is for Da Zhu or Xiao Zhu, Lao Zhu will not allow other people to sit on the dragon chair after he passes away.

After all, Zhu Xiongying still didn't go back to the East Palace, so he rested in Qianqing Palace.In fact, Zhu Xiongying also knew, although he was keeping his filial piety during this time, but Zhu Xiongying couldn't be more clear about the situation of Lao Zhu.

The iron-clad old Zhu tossed and turned at night without speaking, and often babbled a little.Lao Zhu, who lost his son in old age, is actually using the heavy court affairs to numb himself, or else he is always in a sad mood and cannot extricate himself.

Basically, Shuangquan around Old Zhu sent a report. His Majesty the Emperor just sat there a few days ago and started to cry, always looking in the direction of Xiaoling for an hour or two.

Zhu Xiongying, who covered Lao Zhu with the quilt, also fell asleep quickly, but felt that he would wake up soon after falling asleep, and he was about to start preparing to go to court.

After washing, Zhu Xiongying dragged Lao Zhu and had a simple breakfast.In fact, it’s just a little bit of porridge and a snack to pad your stomach. Naturally, don’t expect the food to be good or delicious at this time.

After breakfast, Lao Zhu said, "Ying'er, come with us instead of going outside the hall."

"Grandson should go to the shift, so that some people don't think about it." Zhu Xiongying laughed, patted his chest and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, grandson's physique is very good, grandson thinks it's okay."

Hearing what Zhu Xiongying said, Lao Zhu didn't say much.Of course, he could directly take Zhu Xiongying to Fengtian Hall, and he could wait for all the civil and military officials to take their shifts before showing up. This is actually not a problem.

But if Zhu Xiongying goes to the shift first, it can be regarded as respect for Lao Zhu.In this, there are naturally factors of emphasizing status and class order in front of civil and military heroes.These things must be beneficial to Zhu Xiongying.

It's a little cold outside, but Zhu Xiongying also feels that he can't bear such a little bit of hardship, so he really can't do anything, and he really becomes a rich and royal family.

The civil and military officials have already lined up, and Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as "long in coming", but who dares to really say that Zhu Xiongying is long in coming.Even the former crown prince didn't wait here in advance every time, most of the time he would show up after the civil and military rehearsals were over.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's appearance, many civil and military nobles felt a little relieved at this time. At least it seems that there will not be too many changes in the court.

The crown prince used to have a stable position and great power, but when the crown prince is gone, many things will change.The crown prince has a strong team, but now that the crown prince is gone, the crown prince's status may also be affected by it.

Many people are waiting and watching at this time, wanting to see if there will be some changes in some orders of Daming.

But judging from the current situation, don't think about changing your family, don't think about choosing a tree to live in, and just continue to do your own job well. Don't think about crooked ways at this time, otherwise it will be very difficult. It may be the way to take death.

Zhu Xiongying, who didn't say a word, stood at the head of the class and led all the civil and military officials into Fengtian Hall, starting a new morning morning.

Many people are well aware that the premature death of the crown prince will inevitably cause some changes in the structure of the Ming Dynasty.Also because of the premature death of the crown prince, some of His Majesty's arrangements must have been disrupted.

This naturally means that there may be many changes in the next period of time.Obviously, these changes may be for the long-term stability of Daming, or they may simply be for the smooth succession of the emperor's grandson.

These are all things that are very likely to happen, and these are also some calculations of many civil and military nobles.The next period of time is bound to be very sensitive, and they all need to be careful.Because once there are some omissions, it may be a bloody storm.

In fact, everyone has this kind of awareness. The court and the transfer of power are often so cruel and ruthless.It is related to imperial power, and it is more cruel and terrifying in many cases.

Old Zhu entered the Fengtian Hall with tiger steps, sat on the dragon chair, and pointed in front of him after all the civil and military officials paid homage. Tomorrow, you will not be confused by treachery. If you are diligent, you will not be indulging in ease. If you want to break, you will not be tied to grammar!"

Zhu Xiongying immediately knelt down and said loudly, "Sun Chen, please remember."

Well, this can be regarded as Lao Zhu once again clarified Zhu Xiongying's status.The little thoughts of some princes need to be hidden at this time, otherwise they may be settled by Qiuhou.

In the past, the prince's team felt more at ease. They could join the emperor's grandson's command more naturally, and they would not be rejected if they wanted to.And the team of the emperor's grandson was even more happy. Originally, they were also worried that the status of the emperor's grandson would become embarrassing, but it seemed that they really thought too much.

It's just that at this time, there will be some people who feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

It's not about the status of the emperor's grandson or the like, but that His Majesty the emperor seems to be giving orders, but the emperor is also beating some people.The status of the emperor's grandson is very stable, and the emperor's grandson began to formally take over some government affairs.

However, His Majesty the Emperor does not need to mention the category of 'benevolence', which itself is a quality that a prince must possess.He didn't mention it when he came to the emperor's grandson, so he didn't mean his dissatisfaction with the emperor's grandson.Such beatings are actually to make some civil servants feel clearer.

They should also know what kind of temper the emperor's grandson has.These people should also think about the style of the emperor's grandson.

In the future, the halls of the Ming Dynasty may be even more decisive and oppressive!
