Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 205 Life is like a play
Zhu Xiongying is in a good mood, mainly because many things have been handled well during this period, and the progress of many things can be regarded as quite satisfying.

This is of course good news for him. If he continues to maintain this pace, Daming can grow further with a more stable development. This is one of his expectations, and this is his expectation for the development of Daming.

The Xungui Group headed by Xu Huizu can also detect some things now, although the current emperor's grandson still attaches great importance to the Xungui Group.But it can also be seen now that the emperor's grandson has begun to consciously support the civil service group.

Such things made their mood a little bit complicated, and they felt that these things were a little bit out of line with their expectations and some of their interests.

Daming has been like this since the founding of the country, and it has always been that Wu Guiwen is light.Many people also feel that this pattern will always be maintained, whether it is the current emperor, the previous prince, or the current grandson, they are all closely related to the Wu Xun Group.

But now it seems that some things have changed slightly, and the civil service group has been consciously supported.

This is probably also because of the emperor's mentality, they are more concerned about the balance of the pattern, and they will never let one party's power be too large.

Xu Huizu came to the Wenhua Palace and said to Zhu Xiongying, "Your Highness, this time we will go to Mobei, we have the Duke of Liang and the Duke of Ying. My King Ming will divide his troops into two groups, and the prince is not allowed to go with the army."

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing, and said to his uncle, "Oh? Wei Guogong also saw that this palace is weakening the military power in the hands of the vassal king."

In fact, you don't need to look much to know that the emperor's grandson does not object to some vassal kings becoming vassals, but the emperor's grandson doesn't like those vassal kings having military power in their hands. This can be seen by anyone.Moreover, some of the current princes cannot become vassals, and many people know that this is what the emperor's grandson means.

The princes took over the fiefdom, and if nothing unexpected happens, this will be the next pattern, and it is very likely that it will be the life of the next few princes. It will be difficult for them to go to the fiefdom to dominate.Unless, these princes are willing to go to some wild places to establish a country.

Xu Huizu didn't speak, Zhu Xiongying continued, "Go and remember the situation of the three guards of the princes, the food and salary should be paid. However, if it is necessary to mobilize troops, the three guards should send troops. If they should not be sent, the three guards will make up for it." guard."

This is Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou, and the emperor's grandson can be regarded as a conspiracy. It is estimated that even if many princes are in pain, they dare not say anything at this time. They can only suffer from this dumbness.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying can do such things with ease, for example, he went to fight in the Southwest before.The kings of Chu and Xiang either directly sent the three guards of the princes, or their three guards filled the emptiness of the guards after the imperial army went out.

As for whether these princes and three guards can go back after the imperial army's triumphant return, that's just a matter of thinking.

In order to consolidate the fruits of victory, Ming is now constantly building guards on the border, or directly sending troops to the border, and is constantly compressing the living space of some foreign and barbarian countries.

Daming now only has insufficient soldiers and horses, and the three guards of the princes have been transferred out. Naturally, they should not think about getting them back. That is not a wise choice, and it is best not to take the initiative to speak.

After all, the fiefdoms are basically within the territory of Daming, which is generally a relatively stable place.Even if there is a mob rebellion, there is a nearby guard post, so the princes don't need to hold military power in their hands. Being a stable Prince of Taiping is better than anything else.

Xu Huizu naturally understood Zhu Xiongying's thoughts, and felt that there was nothing wrong with the emperor's grandson doing so.

He is not only Wei Guogong, he is also the eldest uncle of the emperor's grandson.The grandson concubine is his younger sister, and the grandson's son is his nephew.As the head of nobles, Xu Huizu also felt that he was fighting for the Xu family. Of course, he hoped that his nephew would be able to rule the world in the future, and he hoped that his nephew would not have to worry about the vassal king making trouble.

Throughout history, the vassal kings who hold military power are more or less hidden dangers, even if these hidden dangers in Daming do not seem to be big now.But this is also a hidden danger after all. If it can be solved now, it will naturally be a great thing.

As long as Xu Huizu knew what to do, Zhu Xiongying felt at ease, and he didn't need to worry about these things.

In the Eastern Palace at this moment, Xu Miaoqing is very generous as a grandson concubine, looking at Lian Qiongqiong who is pregnant with Liujia, Xu Miaoqing has no jealousy.The main reason is that the fat boy lying on his lap is very cute, and Xu Miaoqing's confidence also comes from this fat boy.

"Yin'er, do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?" Xu Miaoqing picked up her fat son and asked with a soft smile.

Little Zhu immediately sounded childish, looking very excited, "I want a younger brother, I want a younger brother, not a younger sister!"

Xu Miao was happy, and said to Xiao Xiaozhu, "But your father just wants a daughter, and he already has you as a naughty boy. If he wants a younger brother, can he catch bugs with you?"

Little Zhu got up seriously, and said, "But Grandpa Gao said that he wants a boy, not a daughter, and the boy can help us beat the bad guys!"

Xu Miaoqing didn't know what to say, her precious son spent a lot of time in front of today's world.Although the emperor's grandson occasionally complained, he felt that the emperor's grandfather should not teach Yin'er something at this time.But these words are just the words of the emperor's grandson, Xu Miaoqing dare not say them.

Xu Miaoqing was explaining to Lian Qiongqiong carefully that she was more experienced in giving birth to a child now.

While the two were chatting, Wang Chengen hurried over, "Your Highness, the emperor is seriously ill. I ask His Highness to lead the concubines, princesses, and princesses in the harem to pray for blessings. The side concubine and empress will rest for the time being. All concubines in the palace who are pregnant and have children under the age of one , no need to pray."

Xu Miaoqing turned pale with shock, and quickly stood up and asked, "Grandpa Huang is sick? I wish you well yesterday, Grandpa Huang is still in good health."

Wang Cheng'en said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, how does this servant know these things."

Lian Qiongqiong stood up while supporting her stomach, and said hastily, "Your Highness, although this slave is inconvenient to move, I should pray for Your Majesty."

Although Lian Qiongqiong is the grandson's side concubine, she is second only to Xu Miaoqing in terms of status.But this is also a "concubine" after all, and in Lao Zhu's mind, such an identity is naturally not considered a serious granddaughter-in-law.Old Zhu was in a good mood, Zhunlian Qiongqiong called him 'Grandpa Huang', but most of the time he didn't recognize him.

Xu Miaoqing was a little embarrassed, if Lian Qiongqiong was not pregnant with Liujia, if she was not about to give birth, she would still need to pray for blessings.But now that Lian Qiongqiong is in such a situation, if she is asked to pray for blessings, it is obviously unreasonable.

At this time, Wang Chengen said again, "Your Highness, His Highness Taisun also has a decree. Anyone in the palace who is pregnant does not need to pray."

Ok?
Lian Qiongqiong was born in a civil servant's family. She has a gentle temperament and is also a talented woman.They all have certain attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they usually have a character of not fighting or grabbing, which is more popular with Xu Miaoqing.

But Xu Miaoqing was not born in a civil servant's family. Even when she was in Xu's family, her father had always been strict with her children and forbade them to do anything beyond the rules.But the environment of her birth also made Xu Miaoqing more sensitive to some things.What's more, she is the second daughter of King Zhongshan and the first wife of the emperor's grandson. Xu Miaoqing is also very sensitive to many things.

Especially after having a son, although Xu Miaoqing dared not and would not think about things in the court, she would pay more attention to some things.

His Majesty the Emperor is seriously ill, which is naturally worrying.But this decree, how could there be the decree of the emperor's grandson?

Even if it is the prince, normally when the emperor is seriously ill, many people will avoid suspicion, and even block some news from the prince.And to let everyone pray for the emperor with such fanfare like now, unless the emperor is terminally ill, this is the last resort.

But it's nothing, Xu Miaoqing got up, "Sister, you rest in the palace. Grandpa Huang is the most important heir, and my sister is about to give birth now, so I should also rest, so that Grandpa Huang can feel at ease."

Lian Qiongqiong supported her big belly, and just about to bend her knees, she was helped up by Xu Miaoqing, "The concubine obeys the order, and the concubine will copy the scriptures for His Majesty in the palace."

Xu Miaoqing got up and said to the personal maid, "Go and get the court clothes of the palace!"

Many people are actually used to things like the emperor being sick.Even if they knew that Emperor Zhu was in good health, the number of times that Emperor Zhu was really sick or fake sick these years was too many to count, and many people didn't bother to discuss whether Emperor Zhu was really sick or not.

It's just that this time is obviously different, because even if the emperor was sick before, that is, the emperor was raised in the Qianqing Palace, and only the prince or grandson presided over the government.But now, His Majesty the Emperor needs someone to pray for blessings, which is naturally a serious illness.

The harem was in a panic, and the concubines in the harem also got the order. While many people were pale, they also panicked and prepared.Including some princesses who have not yet married, they have also started to prepare.

Xu Miaoqing changed into court clothes and said to Wang Chengen, "Immediately report to Your Highness. I will lead the concubines of the harem to Fengxian Hall to pray for His Majesty. It is inconvenient for me to go to the Great Sacrificial Altar or the Sheji Altar."

The Fengxian Hall is built to worship the ancestors of Lao Zhu's family because of his gratitude to his ancestors.But the Sheji Altar, the Great Sacrificial Altar, and the Taimiao are not suitable for Xu Miaoqing to worship.Even if she is qualified, some other concubines and so on are not qualified.

Thinking of something, Xu Miaoqing looked around, just now in a panic, her fat son disappeared.This is not acceptable, as the great-grandson of today's emperor, little Zhu should also pray for blessings.

Wang Chengen lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The emperor cares about His Highness, and asked His Highness to go down and rest."

Xu Miaoqing seemed to understand that even if His Majesty was 'seriously ill', he only felt sorry for his grandson and great-grandson.
