Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 156 One Heart
When Muying's coffin arrived at Yingtianfu in the capital, Lao Zhu went to meet him personally and dispatched palace officials to take charge of the burial.This can also be regarded as Muying's glorious moment, and it can be regarded as Lao Zhu's expression of admiration and affirmation for his adopted son.

Zhu Xiongying was also a little dejected at this time, although Daming had already established a country when he was born.But after all these years, he has seen and experienced too many life and death, which made him quite regretful and regretful.

He had never met Chang Yuchun, but he had met Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Mu Ying and others. These people were undoubtedly important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they had a close relationship with Zhu Xiongying.But they are all gone, and Zhu Xiongying has lost some natural allies.

Lao Zhu was probably even more sad. The love of his life passed away early, and his favorite eldest son and successor also passed away.The two most valued adoptive sons passed away, and the two generals who commanded the army passed away one after another.Some died in battle, died of illness, died of old age, or he killed a lot of the founding team.

For Lao Zhu, those companions who witnessed him from humble beginnings to peak, all left his side one by one.

The 27th year of Hongwu ended like this, and the 28th year of Hongwu was about to begin in a blink of an eye.

Zhu Xiongying is also 21 years old. In everyone's eyes, he is a heroic grandson of the emperor.There are also some old officials in the court who have followed Lao Zhu to fight in the country, and they all feel that Zhu Xiongying has the shadow of Lao Zhu when he was young.

And Lao Zhu is already 67 years old. Although his body still looks burly, many people can see that the current Emperor Zhu is already old.Especially after the death of the crown prince, Emperor Zhu aged rapidly.

Zhu Wenyin, who was already one and a half years old, ran ahead cheerfully. Although this little guy was full of energy, but after all, this kid was short-legged, so old Zhu followed easily.

Little Zhu fell to the ground, and the eunuchs, maids, and guards who followed her were extremely nervous.

The little guy immediately got up, ran towards Lao Zhu with his hands raised, and said softly, "Great-grandfather, great-grandfather."

Old Zhu immediately bent down and hugged little Zhu, lovingly, "Did Yin'er hurt from the fall? Grandfather, take a look."

Little Zhu held up her little hand pitifully, she didn't break the skin at all.It's just that the little guy was too young, and he ran around the palace for a long time, so his little arms and legs didn't have much strength, so he fell down.

After blowing lightly, Lao Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu and said, "Our Yin'er is good, he is indeed our great-grandson! Don't cry when you fall down, just get up by yourself!"

In fact, for this point, Lao Zhu is often very angry.His precious great-grandson, Daming's future successor, should be born with a golden key in his mouth, and should be taken care of meticulously.

However, Xiao Zhu's father, Xiao Zhu, had a clear request. When Xiao Zhu fell, under normal circumstances, no one was allowed to pick him up.When Xiao Zhu plays around, she usually wants Xiao Zhu to walk by herself. For Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu has strict requirements, and she has no intention of pampering her at all.

But the insiders didn't feel that the emperor's grandson didn't like the eldest son. This was because the emperor's grandson was cultivating the eldest son, and he had high hopes for it.In fact, Lao Zhu has shown off many times. Although his great-grandson was born in a wealthy family, he is not arrogant.

After playing with his great-grandson for a while, Lao Zhu also saw the person he cared most about in this world.Little Zhu paced steadily, not in a hurry.

Old Zhu smiled and kicked little Zhu who was sitting on the ground poking ants with a small wooden stick. The confused little Zhu first looked at Old Zhu, and then immediately saw his father.

Little Zhu got up happily, and ran over happily shaking her little hands, "Daddy! Daddy!"

Bending down to pick up little Zhu, Zhu Xiongying was very happy, "Is Yin'er still behaved today?"

Injured, at this time Xiao Zhu probably remembered that he had just fallen not long ago, and immediately raised his little hand, tears came as soon as he said it, that was called smoothness, and also called a grievance.

Lao Zhu was comforted by an old Huai. When his eldest son was born, Lao Zhu was outside fighting the world.By the time he has time, the eldest son has become a little boy.As for the eldest grandson, he has been extremely well-behaved and intelligent since he was a child, without the innocence of a child.

Fortunately, there is still a great-grandson now, and this great-grandson is Lao Zhu's pistachio.Even sometimes he feels irritable and impatient, but most of the time Lao Zhu still likes to play with his great-grandson.

Seeing his grandson coming, Old Zhu said cheerfully, "We didn't beat and scold Yin'er, and we took good care of him, but this kid is the one making trouble."

The old Zhu at this moment is not the domineering Emperor Zhu, just like many old people who help their children and grandchildren to take care of their children.

Xiao Zhu laughed and said to Lao Zhu, "Grandpa Huang, grandson naturally knows how noisy Yin'er can be."

"It was fine when we took it with us. When we saw you, we were going to sue." Old Zhu was a little jealous, and said angrily, "He followed us when you didn't come. Seeing you now, how can I think there is another one?" Great-grandfather."

Zhu Xiongying laughed, and said quite proudly, "No matter how busy my grandson is, I have to see Yin'er every day, and he is naturally clinging."

Old Zhu seemed to be out of the ordinary, but he just asked, "What's the big deal today?"

"The government is going well, but there is some resistance to moving the capital." Zhu Xiongying said to Lao Zhu, "The city of Beiping has been repaired, and the Forbidden City has a certain look. If the capital is moved, it will be the same."

Lao Zhu looked at the imperial city, feeling a little nostalgic, "Well, you can leave this matter alone. If we move the capital, the resistance will be less!"

Lao Zhu was actually letting go on purpose. For example, he didn't go to court this time because he was old and sick, and Zhu Xiongying was asked to go to court.But if someone really thinks that Lao Zhu is old and frail, they are asking for their own death.Once this old-looking male lion shows its teeth, it can tear everything in front of it.

Zhu Xiongying nodded with a smile. The relocation of the capital was decided a long time ago, and it was also for the future of Daming.

In such things, sometimes there is no way to love children.Although the city of Yingtianfu has special meaning to Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu, they are the emperor and grandson of the emperor, so their positions are naturally different, and their starting points for considering things are also different.

Zhu Xiongying remembered something, and said with a smile, "Grandfather, Fourth Uncle and the others are doing well in Dongying. It's even worse that the Emperor of Dongying and the shogun were driven away to a remote place, but the folk customs there are also tough. Uncles need to work harder."

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing, and said quite proudly, "Those emperor uncles of yours were lawless and unsympathetic to the people when they were fiefs. Now that they have their own land of foundation, each of them has opened up .”

Zhu Xiongying also laughed, and said, "That's naturally different. Although there is a fief in Daming, it is still the country of Daming. Now that I have gone to Dongying, it is the place where I have my foundation, so I don't care about it." It’s the same. Those people in the past were the people of Daming, but now they are their people.”

Zhu Xiongying doesn't need to be concerned about the changes in the mentality of the emperor's uncles, this is also very normal.

In the past, even if there was some lawlessness in the fiefdom, it was bullying the people of Ming Dynasty. Even if the people complained, they often scolded the court.The life and death of the people has nothing to do with these vassal kings.

But now it is different. Although those people are not attached to the hearts of the people, they are their own people.If you want to develop the foundation land, you will naturally need more people, and of course you need more patience, and you must consider the life and death of the people.

In Daming, even if they are princes, they are still princes after all, and they are not the masters of the world.But if you have your own territory, even if it is just a barren land, it is also your own territory, and your mentality will naturally be very different.

There is nothing surprising about the mentality and thinking of these imperial uncles, and Zhu Xiongying also thinks that these things are very normal.

Looking at Lao Zhu, Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "Jinyiwei's adjustment is relatively smooth. Some Jinyiwei are dismissed, they are all slippery, unrighteous or cruel people, and those who should be punished will be punished and those who should be resettled will be resettled. It's okay."

Old Zhu nodded slightly, and then asked, "Then what do you think now? I heard that you sent many capable people to the East Factory, and those people are not inferior to Jin Yiwei now."

Zhu Xiongying laughed, and said quite complacently, "What Dongchang is doing now is what Jinyiwei did back then, but it is not as strong and domineering as Jinyiwei, and his grandson didn't give them the right to punish them. Wait until Dongchang Now that the momentum has started, Jin Yiwei should come out again."

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing, his grandson knew how to check and balance, but fortunately, he didn't just know how to check and balance. Little Zhu didn't lack ambition.

Although the matter of moving the capital is not imminent, it should be carried out steadily.Leaving this prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, it is estimated that the court still has a lot of resistance.

It's just that even if the courtiers wanted to object to such a thing, they probably couldn't object too much in the face of the powerful Lao Zhu.This is a national policy, and this is what Lao Zhu prepared a long time ago. It is impossible for ordinary people to change Lao Zhu's mind at this time.

In the final analysis, this is an imminent decision, and the relocation of the capital is indeed something that some people can't change.The matter that Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu determined was related to the inheritance and rule of the Ming Dynasty, and that was the top priority.

Emperor Zhu, who seems to be getting old, and the grandson of the emperor, when these two people are of one mind, there is really no way to change many things, and no one can contend!
