Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 195 The Successor

Zhu Xiongying knows that everyone will be busy recently, and there is no one who can relax at this time.

Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaoqing took a closer look at the West Palace, this is the place where Lao Zhu retired from court and lived idly.These two couples now have great responsibilities, and the next family banquet will need these two couples to be responsible, and only they have the qualifications to be truly responsible.

Xu Miaoqing was a little worried, and said to Zhu Xiongying, "There are fourteen wing rooms on the left and right, and there are twelve courtyards on the left and right. It is definitely possible to live there. It's just how to arrange them, how to be dedicated, this is a problem."

"Those who haven't left the palace to open the mansion will go back to the residence hall at that time." Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said, "It's good if the front hall is empty, and the back hall will be made by Grandpa Huang when the time comes. We should call some emperor uncles to talk."

Xu Miaoqing nodded naturally, and did not say that it is best to find a reason to drive those adult emperor uncles out of the imperial city.Zhu Xiongying and Xu Miaoqing don't need to worry about letting the adult uncles stay in the palace overnight, or even taking the initiative to create some opportunities for the uncles to stay with the grandfather.

For them, there is really nothing to worry about. They are just grandsons and granddaughter-in-laws now, and they think about a lot of things just to make their grandfather happy, not about the throne, or other small thoughts.

Grandpa Huang loved and favored them unreservedly, and Zhu Xiongying also felt that he needed to be more sensible.Now there can be more family love and warmth instead of cold status and imperial power, Zhu Xiongying thinks it is not so necessary.

Shuangquan came over in a hurry at this time, "Your Highness, Your Majesty's word of mouth must not be wasted."

"I know, you go back, I know these things well." Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and said to Shuangquan, "It's good to send someone over to talk about these things, you still have to follow Grandpa Huang."

Shuangquan left obediently, and Zhu Xiongying naturally continued to discuss the family banquet with Xu Miaoqing. They seemed to be the real supervisors, and they were qualified to do well in this matter.

A lot of things are confirmed, basically you have to ask about everything.In fact, although Zhu Xiongying attaches great importance to the family banquet, he also knows that such a family banquet does not need to be so strict, and it will not be that every seat, everyone's words, and titles need to ensure that there are no mistakes.

Therefore, there is really no need to worry about many things. Basically, there is probably no problem, so it is almost enough, and there is no need to be particularly strict.

After all, this is a 'family banquet', although the royal family banquet is destined to be more intriguing, and will lack some family affection.But this matter, Zhu Xiongying can't do anything, what he can do is to create a relatively warm family banquet atmosphere as much as possible, which also makes Lao Zhu happy.

Zhu Xiongying, who came out of the West Palace, went straight to the class room of the Ministry of Rites. He inquired carefully about the emperor's birthday, the cleaning arrangement of the Huagai Hall, one of the three main halls of the previous dynasty, or the list of visits of the ministers and court deacons, etc. It was Zhu Xiongying who cared more.

This is to really ask about every detail, and such things are truly unavoidable.

After confirming that there were really no problems with these things, Zhu Xiongying felt more at ease, and then walked towards the Qianqing Palace unsteadily.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying pour a cup of tea on his own, Lao Zhu also persuaded him, "I heard that you went to the Ministry of Rites to ask a big question. What can I ask? Our birthdays, Spring Festival, and winter solstice are like this every year." The number of ways, the people below know what to do, what can be wrong?"

There is actually nothing wrong with Lao Zhu saying this, it is basically a fact, the main reason is that many things seem to have been done for a long time, so naturally there is no need for Zhu Xiongying to do more.

Those things don't need to be changed too much, as long as some rules and methods are followed before, then there is not much possibility of making mistakes, and everyone will be handy.

"My grandson is also busy, so I like to ask about many things." Zhu Xiongying laughed, and said to Lao Zhu, "I didn't think it before, but now that I do a lot of things, I like to ask about it. Next People, too, have to ask about everything.”

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing, he still had self-knowledge, "If the subordinates don't come to ask and make a decision, you don't say it on the face, and you probably don't like it in your heart. Your father is also like this, and he likes it." ask clearly."

Looking at Old Zhu, Zhu Xiongying said seriously, "Grandpa, after all, the seeds of our old Zhu's family are all the same!"

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, and angrily threw over a useless memorial, "No matter big or small, we think you need to clean up!"

Zhu Xiongying didn't think he was in need, but his fat son was in need. "Grandpa Huang, everyone said that loving mothers often lose children, but I don't think so. Father said before that you are an intergenerational relative who dotes on me. Now look at Yin'er, you dote too much."

Regarding this matter, Lao Zhu probably knew it well, "We don't spoil everyone. We used to spoil your father, then you, and now we spoil Yin'er. Now that we are getting older, our hearts are getting softer and softer. I can't see a child crying."

This is the basic fact, Lao Zhu's love has a continuity, basically he wants to favor the line of the eldest son, the line of Empress Ma.So Zhu Xiongying, this can be regarded as legitimately occupying the advantage, basically invincible by nature.

The soft-heartedness that Lao Zhu said is also true, but Lao Zhu's soft-heartedness means being soft-hearted towards his own family. Compared with before, he is much soft-hearted in many places.

But such a 'soft heart', even in front of his own family, is based on the premise that he must never touch Lao Zhu's bottom line.As for the treatment of civil and military officials, Lao Zhu was actually more ruthless and ruthless at this time.

"At that time, grandson is going to let the uncles of Jiufan rest in the West Palace. Tomorrow, I see Grandpa Huang will also go to the West Palace to rest." Zhu Xiongying began to advise Lao Zhu, and said, "Grandpa Huang will be fine at that time." Talk to the emperor uncles, and teach them by the way."

Lao Zhu, who was about to say something, suddenly showed a smile, and nodded neatly, "Hey!"

He can indeed ask, for example, Zhu Xiongying is assured that those princes live in the palace with the emperor?
Just thinking about it, Lao Zhu felt that there was no need to ask such a question, and it was actually meaningless to ask.There are some things that everyone knows in their hearts. There is really no need to be so careful when the grandparent and grandson are together.

Over the years, Lao Zhu's chances to keep those Jiufan sons by his side are also very limited.Although Lao Zhu, who felt older, didn't particularly love these heirs, he cared very much if they were his blood and blood.Especially at this stage, Lao Zhu felt that it was very likely that this was the last time he met with many of his descendants, so he naturally had a lot of thoughts.

These are naturally what Zhu Xiongying cares about, he knows how precious time is to Lao Zhu, and understands that many things are indeed so ruthless and direct.So it's better to be straightforward and have a little less regret, which is more important than anything else.

At this time, there is no need to think about any small thoughts. There is no need to care about those things when the overall situation is settled.Lao Zhu will not change his mind easily, and even in the current situation, even if Lao Zhu wants to forcibly change some plans, he will definitely encounter some resistance.

At this time, Zhu Xiongying felt that he really had no other thoughts on many things.It's just simple, I just don't want to leave some regrets.This is also the heart that a successor should have, and Zhu Xiongying thinks that he does not lack these hearts.

Old Zhu was in a good mood, looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "If you are enthroned, what do you think?"

Zhu Xiongying understood what Lao Zhu meant, and said, "Since my grandson is enthroned, naturally there is no need to rush to prove anything. Moving the capital to the past and continuing to move people is probably what should be done now. After a while, when the southwest is stabilized, It's time for grandson to attack the north. But it's hard to say whether to attack the north or the northwest first."

There are still some remnants of the Mongolian and Yuan forces in the Western Regions, and the north has always been the area where nomads are active.

Old Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, "If there are no changes in the southwest and northwest, we'd better level up the north first. My Ming's elite frontier troops are also in the north, so we should clean up that side too."

Zhu Xiongying didn't object to this, he also had the same idea, "These things are uncertain, we have some plans now, but these things are uncertain and there are variables. Just like in Yunnan, who would have thought that Mu Chun hadn't Fight more, those people are now anxious to surrender one by one."

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing, mainly because he felt that this matter was indeed more interesting, and probably it could be regarded as a crooked attack.

Mu Chun, Lan Yu and others drove those rebellious barbarians to Vietnam in the southwest. Those small countries in the Indo-China Peninsula who were obedient and did not dare to pierce in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties had also provoked Ming Dynasty a lot.

Now seeing that Ming Dynasty is really driving some rebels into the country, and seeing the great Ming army Chen Bing at the border, many rulers of those kingdoms panicked.Da Ming will not continue to treat them preferentially now. They are now protesting and fighting against the enemy, while tying up those Da Ming rebels who entered the country and returning them to Da Ming.

After all, Daming is getting more and more powerful now, seeing that Daming is getting serious, some small countries and small tribes, it is only at this time that they know what they are really afraid of.

Come on again, Zhu Xiongying knows that there are many things that cannot be rushed.Zhu Xiongying is indeed not in a hurry to bring the Indochina Peninsula into his territory at once, mainly because he does not have enough time and energy.

But for other things, what he should prepare for is still to be prepared, and what he should be strong is still strong.

Continuing to communicate with Lao Zhu about national policy, Zhu Xiongying has repeatedly proved that he has a grand blueprint and consistent goals.This makes Lao Zhu more gratified, his grandson is very good, and Lao Zhu will feel at ease when he abdicates or something!
