Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 193
Zhu Yuanzhang is undoubtedly a domineering emperor, and he is very domineering to his courtiers.For his children and grandchildren, Lao Zhu does not lack a warm side, but on some matters of principle, Lao Zhu does not allow his children and grandchildren to go against his will.

Zhu Zhen, king of Chu, was not very happy. He had just met his father in Fengtian Hall.But as soon as he led his children and grandchildren to the Hall of Martial Arts, he saw his nephew Zhu Xiongying standing at the entrance of the hall holding Dagui in both hands.

As the prince, Zhu Zhen naturally couldn't understand what this Dagui meant. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

This one also has military merits. He once quelled the barbarians near Dayong, and followed Tang He, Zhou Dexing and others to suppress the barbarians in some places in Guizhou.He also relentlessly conquered some rebellions in Yunnan and Hunan.

Zhu Zhen stood aside expressionlessly, and his second son Zhu Mengjiong stepped forward, "My brother has seen His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun."

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and then said to Zhu Zhen, "Sixth Uncle, the younger brothers have reached their age, and it's time to become kings."

"Oh?" Zhu Zhen said rather resentfully, "Meng Jiong and Meng Dan are now fourteen, Meng Zhuo is also thirteen, and there is no movement. The boss, Meng Cong, is also fifteen, and there is no movement."

According to Huang Ming's ancestral training, the ceremony of conferring a king can be held at the age of ten, but there is still no movement from the Chu king's lineage.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Zhen, and said with a smile, "This matter is also embarrassing for Grandpa Huang. Meng Dan is a descendant. It is said that he should be named the prince, and I am afraid that Meng Cong and Meng Jiong will have resentment in their hearts."

Zhu Mengtan is the third son of Zhu Zhen, and his mother is Princess Chu.And the Wang family is the daughter of Dingyuan Hou Wang Bi, which can be regarded as Zhu Xiongying's team.In Zhu Xiongying's view, it is natural to establish a heir, not an elder.

Zhu Zhen snorted coldly, he probably heard that Zhu Xiongying had something to say.Emphasizing Zhu Mengtan's identity is not to say that Zhu Zhen is not a descendant, and he is not a descendant, so don't have any other thoughts.

"Zixuzi" Zhu Bo, who is naturally knowledgeable and likes Taoism, is very good at riding and arching. He can be regarded as the representative of Lao Zhu's sons who are skilled in bow and horse.It's just that this king of Xiang is also more complicated. On the one hand, he likes to talk about military affairs, but he is not keen on battle formations.He has an elegant demeanor, is good at calligraphy, painting and poetry, and also has a heroic spirit.

The 25-year-old Zhu Bo still has no heirs, which also makes Lao Zhu feel more worried. Does this son have health problems?

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, watching his eldest grandson and eleven sons chatting enthusiastically, just listening from the sidelines.It's just that the more he listened, the more Lao Zhu couldn't help frowning.His eleventh son is a boastful character, and he speaks clearly about the military formation, but this is just reading a few military books.

And his grandson of the emperor didn't feel at ease, talking endlessly about patrolling the Nine Borders, going to Mobei, or defeating Goryeo across the sea.It seems to be an understatement, but the meaning inside and outside the words is to cater to Zhu Bo all the time, so that Zhu Bo really thinks that he has read a few military books and that the God of War is alive.

Lao Zhu didn't bother to say anything to this uneasy emperor's eldest grandson.As for his eleventh son who likes to carry books everywhere, Lao Zhu thinks that he should be a prince who likes to read books in the future, and he can't be counted on in battle.

After Zhu Bo left the palace, Old Zhu asked, "Ying'er, what do you think of your eleventh uncle?"

"If there is a rebellion in Hunan and Chu, it is better to transfer the soldiers of the guard." Zhu Xiongying laughed and said to Lao Zhu, "The three guards of the king of Xiang, my grandson thinks that the commander should also be replaced. Eleventh uncle likes to talk about military affairs. But my grandson thinks Uncle Eleven won't go to the barracks."

Old Zhu snorted coldly, and said angrily, "He is greedy for fame, he is eager to learn, and he doesn't know what it is to read a lot of books! Tell yourself, what did he learn?!"

His riding and archery skills are top-notch, and he talks endlessly when it comes to military affairs.He often reads late at night, and recruits talented people to proofread and organize books.I take books with me wherever I go, linger and forget to return when I see the beautiful scenery, compose poems and compose...

This king of Xiang, who seemed extremely talented and all-rounder, turned out to be an empty shelf when he came into contact with him now!

Lao Zhu is somewhat dumbfounded now, but fortunately, his eleventh son is still a filial child, which is relatively rare.Although the eleventh son is a show, but as a vassal, it is relatively worry-free.

There are also those who are not worried, for example, Zhou Wang Zhulu who just ran to the north, this current clan mansion Zuo Zongzheng came to Yingtian Mansion.It looked like they knew their mistakes and corrected them, but they got into Zhu Yunxie's mansion in a blink of an eye, and the two seemed to be planning something.

It is true that they have some plans. If His Majesty hadn't issued an imperial edict, these two would still plan to go to Changbai Mountain to dig ginseng.After returning to Yingtian Mansion, they found that they were not severely punished, and the matter of their escape was hardly mentioned, and the two guys became more courageous.

It is definitely not a private connection between the princes. Zhu Xi is taking his nephew Zhu Yunxi to visit some of the emperor's younger brothers constantly to find out if there are any interesting plants in the fiefs of these princes.

This can be regarded as scratching Zhu Bo's itch. This is also a prince who likes traveling in mountains and rivers and Taoist culture. He usually does things like being arty or sorting out books.

Zhu Bo's fiefdom is the famous Jingzhou, where you can pay tribute to Guan Yu, and go there to see the scenery of Jingxiang.Furthermore, there are still many barbarians there, there are many uncivilized places, and there are many interesting animals and plants.

Don't say that Lao Zhu knew the news, even Zhu Xiongying got the news, and really didn't know what to say.

He needs to worry very much now. According to the normal process, once he ascends the throne, he will definitely have a few younger brothers as princes.Just looking at the current situation, is the future King Wu going to run away with King Zhou and King Xiang, or to the territory of King Xiang.

The eldest son died young, the second son is gone, and the fourth son is now in Dongying.If they are still in Yingtian Mansion, besides the third child, the fifth child used to grow up in front of the empress.

Lao Zhu was a little helpless, his fifth son seemed to have failed his studies and became confident.And Zhu Yunxi, who has always appeared in the image of a dandy, is even more confident, relying on his elder brother to be the grandson of the emperor and "running wild".

"Uncle Wu knows that as long as we don't make big mistakes, Grandpa Huang will turn a blind eye." Zhu Yunxie was full of confidence, talking loudly in the restaurant, "Grandpa Huang is also happy when we go to compile the medical pharmacopoeia. It is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and it should be done by the children of my clan!"

Zhu Huan agreed with this statement, mainly because he was running outside during this period of time, and he has slowly figured out some ways. His father really will not punish him like last time, and it is not wrong to leave the fief without authorization. Unforgivable things, as long as it is not foolish.

And Zhu Bo seemed extremely moved, this prince who likes to be arty, but he wanders all day long after passing through the mountains and rivers, and he has the temperament to write poems and essays inscribed on stones.I walked around Jingzhou, and on the way to the court, I also went to some places of interest along the way.

It's just not enough, there are still many places I haven't visited, and I haven't heard Yunxi talk about Yangzhou's Jiangnan water town, and the majesty of Mount Tai, including the vastness of Liaodong.

Daming has too many interesting places, and Daming has too many scenic spots.Just reading the travel notes of the predecessors makes me feel yearning, but I also feel regretful that I can't see it with my own eyes.

Why don't you go out with Fifth Brother?
If something really happened, Fifth Brother must be responsible.What's more, the status of this nephew Yunxi is also very special. If you want to come to the emperor's grandson, the law will not blame everyone, unless the emperor's grandson comes and beheads Ma Di with tears.Leaving aside that Yunxi is the emperor's grandson's younger brother, and he is also the emperor's grandson's uncle, shouldn't it be difficult for the emperor's grandson to deal with him? !

The original Yingtian Mansion lacked the capital officials and some nobles, and the princes, county kings and other clans were indispensable.But now that even the princes who had been in the feudal domain had returned with their sons, Ying Tianfu became lively all of a sudden.

For the yamen who originally liked to run rampant in Yingtian Mansion, they need to be more careful at this time.If this accidentally collides with the prince or county king, the end will be really miserable.

After all, the places that many princes confiscated were not prosperous enough, and the sons of those princes saw the prosperity of the capital, so they had some yearning for it.

At this time, you need to be more careful about Yingtianfu Xiaobawang and the like, there are too many people they can't afford to offend.

Zhu Yunxi came to the East Palace sneakily, looked around and asked, "Where is my eldest nephew?"

Fugui immediately replied, "In Qianqing Palace."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and asked again, "Where is the emperor's wife? Are you still planning a family banquet?"

Fugui also immediately replied, "His Highness Concubine Grandson is preparing a family banquet, and tomorrow is the family banquet, and everything is quite complicated."

Zhu Yunxi, who looked around, looked at the blue and white porcelain in front of him, and said, "I remember that the emperor doesn't like these things."

Fugui immediately put on a bitter face and said, "Your Highness, this is from His Majesty."

Then there is no way to sell it, Zhu Yunxi is obviously very disappointed.Recently, the expenditure has been a bit high, and his little salary or the output of Huangzhuang is far from enough.Coupled with the recent arrival of those cousins, as an elder brother, Zhu Yunxi still has to do his best as a landlord.

Then he had no choice but to come to the East Palace to play the autumn wind, which he was actually very familiar with.

Finally, when Zhu Xiongying came to court, Zhu Yunxi rushed over immediately, "Brother Emperor, the kings have been living in poverty for a long time..."

"Understood, I know that you have booked Chunguilou." Zhu Xiongying said angrily, "Go to the account and pay 1000 taels to entertain the princes. Let's walk with them first. It is not easy for me to go out of the palace right now. Some time we brothers should also get together."

When Zhu Yunxi was beaming with joy, Zhu Xiongying immediately reminded, "Don't take them to the brothel, or I won't be able to spare you!"

The third generation of emperors actually needs Zhu Yunxi, a dude, to entertain them now.But speaking of it, it is true that his identity is the most suitable, and what Zhu Xiongying can do is to generously solve problems!
