Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 143 Receiving Power and Delegating Power
Prince Zhu Biao has passed away, which naturally means that the former East Palace team needs to be rebuilt.In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Lao Zhu generously selected meritorious and moral veterans who also led the East Palace to counsel the prince. Basically, the emperor and the prince shared a team.

After so many years, the former Donggong team is now very few, not to mention that now it is necessary to prepare a team for the emperor's grandson.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu had discussed this matter before, but there was no need to worry too much at that time.But now, that's different.The prince is gone, Lao Zhu is also worried about his age, and many things are urgent.

The Eastern Palace official system was first established in the Yin and Zhou dynasties, and there have been some changes in the past dynasties.Just like the current Ming Dynasty has a big hall, which stores ancient and modern books, and calls famous Confucians from all over the world to teach the prince and prince.After the prince lived in the Wenhua Hall, he was attended by Confucian scholars and selected talented scholars to accompany him.

Lao Zhu sat up again, carefully studying his preliminary list.

In fact, he is very clear that the Eastern Palace official system in the past dynasties has specific regulations, but in fact, the setting, staffing, and power are all transferred according to the prince's situation.If there is no prince, all the officials in the series will be withdrawn.If the crown prince falls out of favor, the officials of the Eastern Palace will be weaker and often be attacked and excluded, otherwise the opposite will happen.

The presence or absence of a prince directly affects the stability of the political situation and people's hearts. The quality of the prince is related to the prosperity and decline of the dynasty and the continuity of the royal regime.Because the prince is "the foundation of the world", it naturally means that the cultivation of successors has always been valued both inside and outside the court.

As for civil and military officials and honorable officials, although the ranks of Eastern Palace officials are not high and they do not hold real power, they are honored.Moreover, the establishment of the East Palace official system has formed a power system with the prince as the core, and these people are also candidates for important ministers after the prince succeeds to the throne.

Prince Taishi, Lao Zhu still swayed between Lan Yu and Fu Youde after much deliberation.In fact, Feng Sheng is also qualified. The three founding fathers themselves have prestige, and the special relationship with Zhu Xiongying naturally means that they can be reused.

This is the so-called three masters of the prince, the most important of the Donggong team.

You Zhan's son-in-law, Mei Yin, is Lao Zhu's favorite son-in-law.Those who know Zhan Shiyuan are Liu Yu and Li Qi, Zhu Xiongying's confidant Ru Yu and deputy Zhan Shi.Lian Zining had to be removed, because he was the father of the crown prince's side concubine, so he was not suitable to hold the seat of the Eastern Palace.

When the workaholic Lao Zhu entered the working state, it was naturally the time when he forgot to sleep and eat, until Shuangquan came to remind him.

After glancing at Shuangquan, Old Zhu said with a straight face, "Don't tell grandson what happened today."

Shuangquan knelt down immediately, and as the eunuch sent by the emperor's grandson to the emperor, Shuangquan stood upright, "Your Majesty, please spare this servant!"

"It's worthless!" Lao Zhu snorted coldly, and said angrily, "If you don't tell me, how will the grandson know?"

Shuangquan knelt down and waited for Lao Zhu to put on his shoes, and then said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness asks Wang Chengen to ask about it every day, so how dare the servants hide it. If the servants conceal it, His Highness is wise and powerful, and his eyes are like torches, so he will naturally know about it."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Our Qianqing Palace can't hide anything?! Ridiculous!"

Shuangquan didn't dare to answer, but he knew that there was no 'secret' in Qianqing Palace, and it was all connived by His Majesty the Emperor.Otherwise, even the former prince and the current grandson would not be able to know about the affairs of the Qing Palace, let alone intervene in the emperor's daily life.

Lao Zhu felt a headache, and guessed that he would be nagged again after he came down to court, and the emperor's grandson would definitely stay in Qianqing Palace at night.

Lian Qiongqiong took care of Zhu Xiongying's daily life, watching Zhu Xiongying put on the python robe, stars were shining in his eyes.

"I'm having a banquet in the harem today, you go and help the concubine grandson." Zhu Xiongying said slowly, "Take a good look and tell me later."

Naturally, Lian Qiongqiong agreed in a hurry, and the one who will be summoned in the harem today is Zhu Yunqiu and Zhu Yunxiu's wife.While the eldest brother is like a father, it also means that the eldest sister-in-law is the mother. Naturally, Lian Qiongqiong is not qualified to summon her sisters-in-law, but she needs to help the concubine do so.

In fact, everyone knows that Zhu Yunqi's official wife is just going through the motions.It is mainly Zhu Yunxi's wife, and that is the focus of everyone's concern.As Zhu Xiongying's bedside person, Lian Qiongqiong naturally knew how the emperor's grandson valued his younger siblings.

Thinking of something, Zhu Xiongying said, "Remember to tell Concubine Grandson that Luanjia will pick up the princess."

Zhu Xiongying's younger sister is pregnant, and Zhu Xi is now far away in Yunnan, adding a niece to Zhu Xiongying.And when Zhu Yue married Feng Cheng, there was movement in her stomach, Zhu Xiongying was pregnant now.

It doesn't really matter if it's over the system or not.Because it is a specific reference, naturally there is no existence of overriding.

Wang Chengen followed Zhu Xiongying the moment he walked out of the East Palace, and whispered, "Your Highness, Mao Xiang is dead."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and said calmly, "If you die, you will die. Don't embarrass his heirs. Let someone send it out and reward a hundred households. Let it be placed in Xi'an. There is no credit but hard work."

Mao Xiang can be regarded as the first commander of Jinyiwei, and he is also the best assistant of Lao Zhu's massacre heroes.It's just that now the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooking, and Mao Xiang will not die well, or it is normal to say that his death is unclear.

After all, Jin Yiwei has done a lot of things over the years, which can be regarded as complaints, and Mao Xiang's head was also used to calm the anger.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying also understands that Jin Yiwei has illegally humiliated and abused prisoners in recent years.What's more, Jin Yiwei made accusations in order to invite credit and rewards, and unscrupulously expanded the scope of his involvement, creating countless unjust, false and wrong cases.So at this time, it is also time to impose some restrictions on Jin Yiwei's rights.

It is necessary for Jinyiwei to exist, it is very necessary, but Jinyiwei cannot be made bigger.This is also the reason why Zhu Xiongying asked Wang Chengen to start a new team. The famous Dongchang has already taken shape, and the factory guards are the eyes and ears of the emperor.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's appearance, Wenwu Xungui, who had already started to schedule shifts, immediately fell silent.

In the past, the prince was more elegant, even though some people knew that the prince had a secret in his heart, but the prince was elegant and lenient in face.As for the current grandson, he knew that the grandson was good at martial arts before, and now he finds that the grandson is serious, respects the rules, and has strict requirements on civil and military honors.

After the whip was sounded, Zhu Xiongying led all the civil and military officials into the palace, and naturally only officials of the fourth rank or above were eligible.

After Lao Zhu took his seat, Zhu Xiongying naturally walked out of the head of the class, "Holy Blessings."

All the officials bowed immediately, Lao Zhu waved, "Ann."

Zhu Xiongying walked up to Danchi naturally, facing all the officials, "I have something to say."

It's just Chang Chao Yi, so keep it simple.If it is Da Chaoyi, it will naturally be much more complicated.

Zhu Xiongying still talked less and listened more, but he kept many things in his heart.Lao Zhu also didn't make a decision immediately on many things, and the trivial things didn't matter.

If it's a big or complicated matter, he will definitely go back to Qianqing Palace. Even if he knows it well and has a decision, he won't make a decision right away. He still needs some time to talk to Xiao Zhu so that Xiao Zhu can understand Some of it makes sense.

Just after going to court, Zhu Xiongying heard Wang Chengen's report.Lao Zhu was immediately timid and evasive like a child who had done something wrong.

Zhu Xiongying is also a little helpless, it can't be said that Lao Zhu is an old child now.It's just that Lao Zhu is almost like a loner now, and the person Lao Zhu cares about most now is Zhu Xiongying, so naturally he also cares about Zhu Xiongying's feelings.

"Grandpa, I'm staying at Qianqing Palace tonight." Zhu Xiongying said without any discussion, "Grandpa is so old, he should rest more. Yin'er is still young, and grandson still expects Grandpa to teach Yin in the future." son."

"Hey, hey." Lao Zhu nodded again and again, and then explained, "We're getting older, and we don't feel much, so it's not a problem."

It's really not a problem, the imperial doctor reported just a few days ago that Concubine Geli is pregnant. The 65-year-old Zhu Xiongying is growing strong and will add an uncle to Zhu Xiongying at the beginning of next year.Zhu Wenyin of his own family might want to grab candy with his uncle who is half a year younger than him. This is really not an exaggeration.

Sometimes, Zhu Xiongying really admires Lao Zhu's physical strength, and Lao Zhu's physical fitness is top-notch.

Zhu Xiongying remembered something, and said to Old Zhu, "Mao Xiang is dead."

"Okay, let's play tomorrow, and let's burn some instruments of torture." Old Zhu said, knowing this matter well, "Jin Yiwei has been too arrogant these years, we have to punish them. Otherwise, our lackeys will bite people blindly gone."

Let Zhu Xiongying do this good man, because Jin Yiwei has really made people complain all these years.Letting Zhu Xiongying come forward at this time naturally means letting civil and military officials, scholars and squires remember Zhu Xiongying.Even though many people think that this is Lao Zhu's opinion, without the emperor's grandson coming forward, Jin Yiwei must still be arrogant.

Need to give the minions some power and let them bite.But sometimes it is necessary to tighten the bridle so that these lackeys will not show their teeth and claws, and it is even more necessary to prevent these lackeys from becoming vicious against their masters.

The Jin Yiwei these years have been arrogant enough, and their power is indeed great enough.Now that Ming Dynasty's internal affairs are still relatively stable, Jinyiwei needs to restrain himself a little bit, and Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu need to govern Jinyiwei a little bit.

In fact, whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they can be regarded as the emperor's domestic slaves. If they lose their sacred heart, their rights and threats will be much smaller.If these people want to continue to frighten the civil and military officials, they probably will be dormant for a while.

"Ying'er, this Jinyiwei should restrain itself, and you should also tidy up a little bit." Old Zhu earnestly told Zhu Xiongying, "If Jinyiwei is used well, you will know the world's affairs, and it will be convenient for you to do things in the future. You choose carefully. , Choose some reliable people."

Once the crown prince and the courtiers, there must be some differences between Lao Zhu's Jinyiwei and Zhu Xiongying's Jinyiwei.

In the past, Zhu Xiongying had a third member of Jinyiwei like Song Zhong, but the team of Jinyiwei was still Lao Zhu and Da Zhu.But now, it is necessary to start anew a little bit, to create a Jinyiwei system that belongs to Xiao Zhu!
