Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 141

Lao Zhu hugged his great-grandson, which was a little psychological comfort. He seemed to have slightly overcome the grief of losing his son.

"Yin'er, call us." Old Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu, smiling brightly, "If you call us, we'll give you candy."

Zhu Xiong, who was reviewing the memorial, laughed, "Grandpa Huang, Yin'er is not as smart as I am."

Old Zhu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xiongying, somewhat disgusted in his eyes.So sometimes love will really transfer. Zhu Xiongying used to think that in Lao Zhu's heart, Da Zhu was the first, and Zhu Xiongying was not narcissistic at all, he was the second.

But now, Zhu Xiongying felt that he might still be in second place, because a certain fat little guy was more popular.

While reviewing the memorial, Zhu Xiongying said, "Grandfather, I think what we said last time is feasible. Needless to say, civil servants, these scholars are born one after another, and they are born to be together. If Xungui If you don’t give support, maybe after a few decades, the civil servants will become big.”

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "Military officers should also practice riding and archery. Let's see how long it has been since the world was in peace. Now Yingtian Mansion's dandy children and Gaoliang children are all from honorable families. We thought, how about the royal children? To practice the Four Books and Five Classics, or to ride and shoot."

Zhu Xiongying laughed dryly immediately, then struggled a bit, "Then many of my imperial uncles may not be able to become kings."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, what he was talking about was Zhu Yunxie, who can't do martial arts without being proficient in writing.If you want to say that the biggest dandy in Yingtian Mansion is obviously Zhu Yunxie.But it's not bad, there wasn't much trouble during the filial piety period.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "If a military officer's son can't ride a horse or draw a bow, he shouldn't attack his post. The one from Yangzhou Wei is a joke!"

The catalyst was Shan Shou, commander of the Yangzhou Guard, who attacked his father and led his troops to Taizhou to arrest bandits.It turned out to be a good thing, when he encountered the bandits, not to mention running away cowardly, and leading the crowd to flee, this was a defeat in the battle, and it was miserable.

This is the official position of the third rank, the highest military officer of the guard, and can be regarded as the backbone of the Ming military.Fortunately, this general who can command nearly 6000 people ran away when he encountered bandits, he was like a tiger father and dog son.

Zhu Xiongying continued, "I will ask the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to allow the generals' children to practice martial arts and learn the art of war. Since you want to inherit the position, you still need to have some skills. If you inherit it, you will be fined if you can't ride and shoot. If it's not enough for a retest , relegated to the army, lest those people harm my military family."

Old Zhu said, "The age range is twenty. If the elder is too young or the elder died in battle, the country should take care of it. If there is no way to do it at twenty, let's take it as a good deed. The dude went to the battlefield. That is to die."

While the two were teasing the baby and chatting, Xu Miaoqing entered the Qianqing Palace, "Grandfather, Your Highness, it's time to eat."

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile, and said, "Qing'er, you don't seem to have worn jewelry before. Let's ask someone to give you some face-lifting. If you don't like it, go to Curry to choose some by yourself. I just came from a few days ago Nanyang sent back some jewels."

Xu Miaoqing immediately said, "Grandfather, Sun Chen doesn't need those, and His Highness doesn't like them either."

"That kid is more rigid than us, and we rewarded you, so he dare not say it." Old Zhu said decisively, "You deserve some respect for spreading branches and leaves for our Tianjia."

Xu Miaoqing quickly knelt down and said, "Sun Chen is the wife of Tian's family, and it is only natural to open up branches and leaves for Tian's family."

Lao Zhu is very satisfied with Xu Miaoqing's attitude.Rewards are very generous to his family, Lao Zhu.But such generosity also needs to see Xu Miaoqing's attitude, which is even more important.

Zhu Wenyin didn't give face at all, and wanted to hug his mother when he saw him.When there was no response, he started crying.This kid doesn't give old Zhu face at all, he should please him for the sake of the throne
No way, who told his son not to time travel, he didn't have so much thought, the little guy was pure and instinctive.

Old Zhu didn't make things difficult for Xu Miaoqing, and handed Zhu Wenyin to Zhu Xiongying with a smile.And Zhu Xiongying smiled and handed the fat son to Xu Miaoqing.

"Go to the side hall first, and come over for dinner later." Patting Zhu Wenyin's little butt, Zhu Xiongying said, "This little thing should go to sleep too."

Seeing Xu Miaoqing walk away, Old Zhu asked, "Is Qing'er feeding all this time?"

"There are two nannies following, but Qing'er and I feel that our baby is feeding by itself." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's good now, Yin'er's child is sticking to me and his mother. Hug more, and the child will stick to it." .”

Old Zhu thought about it, and said half-truth, "Ying'er, I remember you said that you have an heir, and you let us raise it."

Zhu Xiongying immediately began to play dumb, still young and ignorant, so he ran the train with his mouth full, and now he can't get back.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying pretending to be stupid, Lao Zhu knocked on the table, "Ying'er, I think we are too old, and we can do it in the past two years"

"Grandpa Huang, you have to teach me first!" Dare to interrupt Lao Zhu's words, and now it is probably Zhu Xiongying, "If you teach your grandson, Grandpa Huang will teach Yin'er when the time comes. He has not yet About weaning, he doesn't understand what Grandpa Huang said."

Old Zhu was angry and funny, but he also felt that this statement was correct. He was really not suitable to teach little Zhu now.

Just remembering something, Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for Yin'er to study government affairs. When we kick our legs, you have to bury us in Xiaoling Tomb. Your parents are all over there, your imperial grandmother It’s over there too, and we’ll go there in the future.”

Zhu Xiongying nodded affirmatively, this point is very clear, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson said before that I will go there too at that time. We will be together as a family at that time, and we will start repairing the mausoleum immediately after I ascend the throne. Or don’t build Grandfather’s Mausoleum, which has been built for more than 20 years, and give it to his grandson first.”

Mausoleum repair, this is not such a taboo topic, because under normal circumstances, the emperor starts to repair the mausoleum as soon as he ascends the throne.

Lao Zhu immediately smiled, and then said, "Our mausoleum is almost finished, and it will be slower in the past two years. Don't repair your mausoleum first, it is unlucky. If you really want to be in front of us, we will ask someone to help you choose a location. "

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and immediately said, "When the time comes, the mausoleums of Grandpa and Grandmother will be higher, so that we can see our grandson. But it's agreed, don't get too close when the time comes. When grandson grows up, he will also marry a wife." gone."

Lao Zhu pretended to be unhappy, and said, "That's not what I said before. I wished I was in front of us. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, I want to stay away from us?! It's okay, let's let people go and see, We can see you and Biaoer."

These words are a bit sad, in fact, Lao Zhu is a person who attaches great importance to family affection.But in his life, the top two have gone successively.Perhaps now in the world, what Lao Zhu is most worried about is Xiao Zhu in front of him and the country he brought down.

The two of them were chatting while drinking wine and eating vegetables. When Xu Miaoqing finished coaxing Zhu Wenyin to sleep, they also came over.It's just that Xu Miaoqing didn't dare to be careless in front of Lao Zhu, an old feudal old man.

In the palace, no one dared to set rules for Xu Miaoqing, but now in front of Lao Zhu, Xu Miaoqing consciously did her duty.For example, the meal arrangement must be arranged by her personally.She is also the one who cleans up the dishes now.

"Grandpa, my grandson is going to ban copper coins for a while." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "There are more silver coins, and precious banknotes can be used. Forget about copper coins. Casting copper coins is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the Ming Dynasty Firearms are also needed, and copper is needed."

Lao Zhu thought about it carefully, and said, "Success, this thing is done. The country makes banknotes, which are used together with copper coins, for the benefit of the people. Let's issue an imperial decree, and this will offend people. Gold, silver, and precious banknotes will do." No more copper coins.”

Lao Zhu also continued to say at this time, "It was a good thing that you planted cotton in the north two years ago. We are also planning to persuade the people to use the open space to plant mulberry jujube and kapok. We have enough food, and we can plant some cotton to survive the winter and make clothes. Now Now that the country is peaceful, we also plan to build some restaurants to welcome guests from all over the world."

The nature of these restaurants is different, obviously with some diplomatic attributes, Zhu Xiongying thinks it's no problem.

Zhu Xiongying continued to chat with Lao Zhu about some things. The current Ming Dynasty is still relatively strong, and its food reserves are relatively sufficient.But this does not mean that you can sit back and relax, and some things need to be prepared for a rainy day.

Therefore, Lao Zhu and Zhu Xiongying quickly reached a consensus that the construction of water conservancy is also very necessary.It is true that the weather is going well now, but no one can guarantee when some natural disasters will occur.The construction of water conservancy is a very necessary thing, not to mention drought and flood, at least it will let the people have some capital to resist natural disasters.

There are already some coolies, and reform-through-labor prisoners also need to come in handy. Zhu Xiongying has always been relatively comfortable with such cheap labor costs.

Now the country is peaceful, the country is rich and the people are strong, but there is nothing to be satisfied with such things.Daming is very strong now, but Daming can also be stronger. Daming still has a lot of room for improvement, and this country can grow stronger.

Since we have such ideals, it naturally means that we cannot stand still and we need to continue to make progress.As the emperor's Lao Zhu, as the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying, they need to take the lead, and they can't be content with pleasure at this time.

It seems that there is not much change. It seems that Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are reviewing memorials, etc., studying state affairs, etc. It seems that there is not much change.

But many people also know that it is impossible that there is no change at this time, and there are some undercurrents surging, which is also a very normal thing.

In fact, these things were due to Da Zhu's early death and Lao Zhu's need to build a bridge for Xiao Zhu. Naturally, such preparatory work needs to be handled well, and it cannot be sloppy.
