Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 175

While waiting for Lao Zhu to wash, Zhu Xiongying covered Lao Zhu with a blanket, and then he also lay down to sleep.

Old Zhu narrowed his eyes and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Ying'er, we are getting old. We thought our lifespan is coming soon, otherwise we will prepare and you will be enthroned. We will be in Yingtian Mansion after we abdicate. Keep it, you go to Peiping."

Zhu Xiongying was silent for a moment, and didn't refuse, "It's okay, then I'll ask someone to make preparations later."

Old Zhu opened his eyes at once, and kicked Zhu Xiongying fiercely while turning sideways, "Other people still give up the Zen position three times. It's good for you to answer directly?! Is it so urgent that you want to ascend the throne?"

Zhu Xiongying was also happy, and didn't feel guilty, "Grandfather, we already knew about this matter. If it was in another place, grandson would have to be modest. Even these things, grandson doesn't intend to be humble. Ascend the throne, This is also the responsibility of the grandson."

Old Zhu didn't object at all, he knew his grandson had this ability, "That's true, our Yinger has this ability. You have been smart since you were young, and although you haven't dealt with government affairs for a long time, you are just in front of us at a very young age. , I have seen many memorials. Neither we nor your father avoided you, and you also know these things."

This is the difference in the education that Zhu Xiongying received from others. Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu did train Zhu Xiongying as their successor from the very beginning.Therefore, when other royal children were studying in Dabentang, Zhu Xiongying occasionally went to study, but most of them still read memorials and listened to Lao Zhu and Da Zhu discussing government affairs.

Lao Zhu continued, "We thought, since we're moving the capital, we won't be able to do it in a year or two. Let's stay here, and you can settle down in Beiping. If your father is here, it will be our grandparents and grandchildren here. It's over."

Zhu Xiongying was silent for a moment, then said, "Yin'er is still young, let him stay in Yingtian Mansion for the next two years, and then Grandpa Huang will take Yin'er with him."

Lao Zhu is very satisfied with this arrangement, "That's it! At that time, we won't have many things on hand, and we can enjoy our grandchildren and take care of our lives. At that time, we won't care about government affairs."

When Lao Zhu said this, Zhu Xiongying didn't believe it at all, because that was not Lao Zhu's character at all.

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while, and said to Old Zhu, "Grandpa Emperor, change the ancestral precepts in the future. When the emperor reaches seventy, he will take the Zen position, and he will be put on the horse and sent off for a ride. The grandson thinks this is very good."

Old Zhu sat up with a grunt, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Ying'er, do you think we will be seventy soon, or do you really think so?"

Zhu Xiongying turned serious, and said his thoughts, "Grandfather, let's not talk about other things for now. Even if you are like you, at this age, it is still a bit difficult. Ordinary people at this age are even more old. Well. My grandson is not afraid anymore, my grandson thinks that people are getting old and sometimes their brains are not active enough."

Old Zhu kicked Zhu Xiongying again, and said, "We're not so old yet!"

"But the grandson is afraid that the future generations will be confused. What the grandson thinks is to abdicate at that time, so I can just watch from the side." Zhu Xiongying said what was in his heart, without hiding anything, "At that time, The succession and succession of the throne is also very smooth."

Lao Zhu thought about it carefully, and then said, "That's true, let alone whether I can live to seventy in the future. I am afraid that it is easy to get confused when I am old. If I am afraid of death at that time, I will learn from Han Wu, Tang Taizong, then there will be troubles. At seventy, it is also a way to be the Supreme Emperor with peace of mind."

Zhu Xiongying nodded with a smile, and said, "That's what my grandson is afraid of. Don't be reluctant to bear the throne and become confused, then there will be troubles. Our Daming's inheritance has always been the rules, and we have established the eldest son. Let's regulate it again. When I grow up, I will become the Supreme Emperor."

Lao Zhu thought about it carefully, and then said, "Ying'er, we don't think it's a big deal. If your father is here, we will abdicate as well. We are willing to give you the throne. It's just what we think, ours These descendants may not be willing to part with it. It is good to be an emperor, but it is good to have an emperor!"

"You can hold the military power first, just give some government affairs." Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to Lao Zhu, "Just like a few years ago, when my father was here, the things he did were not what the emperor should do. Sun It's the same with my son, I'm just about to sit on the dragon chair."

Old Zhu was so angry and funny, he patted Zhu Xiongying and said, "We didn't detain your military power, and we saw what you did. Let's talk about it, the Supreme Emperor can really stand in front of you. If you don't give military power, If you abdicate, you will also abdicate, and you still have some authority."

Zhu Xiongying didn't hide anything, and continued, "If I retreat all at once, I'm afraid I'll have to worry about it in my heart. It's better to keep the military power, so it's better to look at it. Since the heir of our Ming Dynasty is stable, let's be more straightforward and follow the rules. Stand up here with us."

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying, and asked sternly, "Yinger, we will be seventy soon, and we will retire as soon as we retire. We are not reluctant. Whether it is your father or you, we can trust you. If you succeed, we will I'm also at ease. Ying'er, if we change the ancestral precepts, if you get older in the future, will you really be willing to give Yin'er the throne?"

"When the grandson ascended the throne, he was appointed as the prince. We established the rules at the beginning of the founding of the country, so that the descendants can follow suit in the future." Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth, but said immediately, "It's just that the grandchildren here have their own blessings. When the time comes, an unruly person will come, which is also uncertain. We can only do it first."

Old Zhu laughed. His "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" really changed too much, and he started compiling it before Zhu Xiongying was born.Over the years, it has been changed many times, such as the country of no conquest, the treatment of the prince, etc., it has been changed again and again.

Fortunately, the inheritance of the throne also needs to be added, and maybe some descendants will start complaining about it in the future.

Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu began to discuss some things in detail, naturally about things like passing on the throne.Now it's not like grandparents and grandchildren immediately determine that seventy must have a Zen position as soon as they add up. These things have to be well-established and righteous.

So Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu changed their minds again, and the civil servants and martial arts under their hands should contribute to these matters.If future generations complain about their ancestors in the future, they will be scolded along with those dignitaries and civil servants. It cannot be the grandchildren who are blamed by future generations.

No matter whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, if they want to say that they have a strong desire for power, there is no problem with this.It is not a problem to say that Lao Zhu is deeply affectionate, and the throne is naturally important to him.It's just that for Lao Zhu at this stage, it may not be the most important thing.

For Xiao Zhu, he just hopes to avoid some detours, and hopes that this country and this nation will develop better.Of course, he may know something, and he hopes to avoid it as much as possible.The throne or something is naturally important, but at this time, I can only reluctantly give up some, and give myself some small shackles.

As for whether they can live to be 70 years old, it is still hard to say, and there are not too many emperors who can live to [-] years old.

Lao Zhu was actually quite relieved, he didn't think his grandson was forcing him to abdicate.From Lao Zhu's point of view, many things about his grandson are still towards him. For example, when he abdicates in his [-]s, Lao Zhu feels that this is tailor-made for him.

The relocation of the capital and the pain of bereavement made Lao Zhu a little helpless.If it weren't for this caring grandson, Lao Zhu didn't know if he would be able to hold on.Even Lao Zhu felt that if one day his precious grandson also left, then there would be no relatives in this world anymore.

Parents are gone, brothers and sisters also left early.The wife who loved each other was gone, and the eldest son he cared about the most died young.The only thing Lao Zhu cares about now is this precious grandson in front of him, which can be regarded as his real 'blood relative'.

Regarding the matter of the throne, it can be regarded as a tacit agreement now. If the emperor of Ming Dynasty wants to die of old age on the throne in the future, he must die before the age of 70.Otherwise, it may be a rebellion against Yingtian, and a large number of loyal ministers and good generals will shout that it violates the ancestral system.

Of course, if the emperor has a strong head and excellent wrists, he might be able to break the ancestral system, which is not impossible.

Old Zhu was a little complacent and hardly sleepy, "Ying'er, our Ming Dynasty is extraordinary! In the future, the inheritance of this Ming Dynasty will be safe, and the matter of establishing a reserve will be safe. If you become old-fashioned, you don't need to be afraid."

"It's also a loss that Grandpa Huang is like this. Other people would not be able to do this." Zhu Xiongying said truthfully, and said to Lao Zhu, "The grandson also knows that Grandpa Huang loves his grandson after all. Even if it is an ordinary family, the old man is reluctant to hand over his family business."

Old Zhu laughed happily, and was also quite proud, "We will still be the Supreme Emperor after retiring. We are not afraid of you taking power if we are still alive. Our words are still useful!"

With these words, Zhu Xiongying has no doubts that his grandfather really has such ability.Even if Lao Zhu abdicates, he is still the one with the most right to speak in Daming, and there is no need to question this at all.

The grandfather and grandson continued to chat, planning to find one or two confidantes to come forward and discuss this matter in the court, so that it can be truly confirmed and become the patriarchal system.

Naturally, there is no shortage of clues and candidates.Now the grandfather and grandson also have their own confidantes in the court, and their ability to control is extremely good.

Especially those civil and military officials all know "transformation". They can be the emperor's team, they can also be the courtiers of the former emperor, and they can be transformed into the emperor's grandson's team at any time.The three grandparents basically have one heart, and most of the time they don't have any defense against each other.

Although it needs to be transformed at any time, there is no need to worry about being liquidated when standing on the wrong team.As long as you do good things with peace of mind, there is nothing to worry about.

Moreover, no matter whether it is Emperor Hongwu or Prince Yiwen, they are all capable and cunning, including the current grandson of the emperor, who are also very capable.No matter what kind of character the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are, if they are all Mingjun, there should be no problem.
