Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 214 Relatives, also monarchs and ministers

Although it was a family banquet, it seemed that with some changes in the court, including Zhu Zhu and Zhu Yue, they couldn't really treat Zhu Xiongying as a nephew or brother.After all, Zhu Xiongying is now the grandson of the emperor, and it seems that he is getting closer to that position.

It was indeed a family banquet at the beginning, just chatting about some homework.But gradually, the atmosphere seemed to be a little weird.Even Zhu Xiongying's little aunt, even Zhu Xiongying's own sister, at this time, they were giving each other winks and watching Zhu Xiongying's expression.

Compared with others, they naturally have more confidence and confidence. They know that Zhu Xiongying is a person who cares about his relatives.

It's just that there are too many true and false news from the ruling and opposition parties during this period, and their identities will also feel confused and confused because of various news, and many things will indeed make them feel a little confused. Worry.

Zhu Xiongying is a smart person, and his ability to assess the situation can also be said to be very good, after all, he has many people in the court.

This is just the grandson of the emperor, it's already such an atmosphere.If Zhu Xiongying really took the position of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he would basically become a loner by that time, and his family members might not only be family members, but also courtiers.

Too lazy to be emotional, Zhu Xiongying just smiled and said, "Uncle, Grandpa Huang has not missed some things for you during this time, right?"

Mei Yin immediately stood up and replied respectfully, "Return to Your Highness, Your Majesty has indeed explained some things to me."

"That's good. You also understand what Grandpa Huang thinks." Zhu Xiongying can be regarded as opening the skylight to speak brightly. After all, there are rumors in the court. That's what Ying Tianfu is doing, if you have anything to report to His Majesty, you can also find me."

He didn't dare to answer, because the task that Lao Zhu entrusted to him was to keep an eye on the princes in Ying Tianfu, and tell him immediately if there was any change.Moreover, Lao Zhu also gave Mei Yin a tip, so naturally he hoped that Mei Yin could assist Zhu Xiongying.

Looking at the other people who seemed a little shocked, Zhu Xiongying said, "My aunt and my uncle will go to Peiping after the new year. Although my uncle has no intention of governing the country, he will help me take care of Peiping these days. Yue'er and brother-in-law also went there If my brother-in-law goes there, he will have the right to guard the city, and if the third uncle goes there, the military power will also be in your hands."

These words are clear enough, Zhu Xiongying is really too lazy to play riddles with his family, after all, the ones in the house can be regarded as his closest relatives.The blood relationship is also the closest.

Everyone knows about the move of the capital, and everyone knows that Daming has already officially moved the capital.A few days ago, there were some slick civil and military resignations and the like, without exception, they were either completely dismissed, or they are now in prison.

The meaning of the emperor and grandson is obvious, whoever dares to speak against the matter of moving the capital, then don't blame the old Zhu's knife for being more powerful.

Looking at Mei Yin, Zhu Xiongying suddenly asked, "Yesterday in the Hall of Martial Arts, Grandpa Huang had the intention of abdicating, did you know?"

When Mei Yin was breaking out in cold sweat and didn't know how to answer, Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "You know about this, and Feng Cheng also knows about it. Don't make wild guesses about Grandpa Huang's thoughts, whether you are a minister or a man. My son, just do what the emperor told you to do."

Abdicated, Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, brought up for the first time in front of his family that Lao Zhu wanted to abdicate.He also expressed his attitude, he knew about this matter, he didn't say how much he supported it, at least he didn't object to it.

So don't have any pretentious ideas, and it is enough to do what the superiors explain, which is such a requirement.After all, it's all about breaking the bones and connecting the tendons, so just don't cause any unpleasantness in front of such big right and wrong.

The bawling little Zhu came back and plunged into Zhu Xiongying's arms, "Father, my cousin said he was the governor, but the emperor said I was the prince, and I was the biggest!"

This is coming back to sue, which also makes Zhu Xiongying wonder how to end these lawsuits.

Princess Ningguo was a little embarrassed. The main reason was that Zhu Xiongying's heirs had been 'given officials' a long time ago, that is, they teased the children in their spare time, or said it when they encouraged the children to make progress.As a result, this is what the child remembers in his heart.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help being happy, hugged Xiao Zhu and said, "I'll talk about this later, you are the crown prince, no one will snatch you away. What about your cousin, ask him to come over, I have to take the school exam If it is successful, then it will be the Commander’s Mansion of the Central Army; if it is not successful, it will be the Governor of the Right Army and the Left Army.”

The eldest son of Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo, Mei Shunchang, is here. They are both teenagers, so they are naturally sensible, "Chen"

"Cousin, don't be too polite. Come and talk to us. It's good for the governor to know about the soldiers." Zhu Xiongying laughed, and deliberately teased his cousin, "Which volumes are you reading in your military books?"

Mei Shunchang immediately replied, "I don't know the art of war, and my father often teaches me how to store supplies."

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help frowning, and complained to Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo, "Auntie, uncle, this is not good! They are all from my own family, and they are still here to avoid suspicion! In my opinion, they will all be sent to the palace some other day Reading, you are not willing to teach, I will let someone teach!"

Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo had some taboos, they could be regarded as nobles and relatives, once their heirs took control of the military, it was very likely that their relatives would interfere in politics.Such things have always been a taboo for those in power.

So when teaching children, they also consciously make some trade-offs.While hoping that their children will be promising, they also hope that their children are not particularly promising, otherwise it may not be a good thing, and contentment can always be happy.

After inspecting Mei Shunchang's cousin a little bit, Zhu Xiongying was also quite relieved.

After all, Mei Yin was Lao Zhu's favorite son-in-law. Apart from being a direct son-in-law, it was also very important that Mei Yin was relatively knowledgeable.Therefore, Mei Shunchang can be regarded as a source of family education, even if Mei Yin is consciously 'hiding clumsiness'.

It was a pretty good family dinner, although Zhu Xiongying wanted to stay and talk to everyone.But he also knows that this is not a very realistic thing, not only because of the palace ban, but also because Zhu Xiongying has seen the reality that he will eventually become a lonely family.

At first everyone saw him happier, but in this kind of getting along, everyone will start to pay attention to his emotions.
These are the closest people, even they have begun to pay attention to Zhu Xiongying's expression now, and they will be a little cautious when getting along with Zhu Xiongying.Even if such a thing existed before, it would not be as obvious as it is now.

The last person who was treated like this was Lao Zhu who was still pretending to be sick.In front of him, not only father and son, but also monarch and minister.Even the former Da Zhu and the current Xiao Zhu, don't think they are very favored in front of Lao Zhu, but even they will pay attention to Lao Zhu's emotions.

Little Zhu didn't need to worry about it, he was tired after playing wildly all day, and fell asleep immediately after getting in the car.

"The two of us will definitely be alone in the future." Zhu Xiongying touched little Zhu's face and whispered, "Now I can feel it, because everyone used to think of me as the grandson of the emperor, just the prince. Even if Take care of me, but it's just the prince. Now, they know the situation is different."

A little helpless, but also a little self-deprecating, "Son, the Son of Heaven, you should be alone. Aunt is no longer an aunt, and younger sister is not just a younger sister. The closest people will be careful with you. But you also have to remember, You can trust even the closest people. But you can’t delegate too much, or it’s not good for them.”

This is Xiao Zhu teaching Xiao Xiao Zhu, but unfortunately Xiao Xiao Zhu is sleeping now, so naturally he didn't hear this.And even if he didn't sleep, considering Xiao Zhu's age, he probably wouldn't be able to understand these things.

Back in the palace, Zhu Xiongying didn't say much, after sending little Zhu back to the East Palace, after thinking about it, he went to Qianqing Palace.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming, Lao Zhu said with a smile, "It's just right, let's have dinner with us."

"That's right, I don't have any rules at Grandpa Huang's place." Zhu Xiongying said with a smile, "It's not okay at Auntie's place. It's a little uncomfortable to have a meal and take care of me and Yin'er."

Old Zhu was silent for a moment before he said, "Do you still remember your great-uncle?"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, Li Jinglong's grandfather, Li Wenzhong's father, Li Zhen, the first generation Cao Guogong.

Lao Zhu said with emotion, "Among our relatives, he is the only one left. We treat this brother-in-law well, and he treats us well when we are poor. When we become emperor, he sees my brother-in-law as well. Be careful."

Zhu Xiongying nodded with a smile, he could understand these things, "We are alone, and there is nothing we can do about it. But Grandpa Huang is kind. In the past, Grandmother Huang didn't care whether Grandpa Huang was an emperor or a marshal. What should be said should be said, Should be noisy or will be noisy. Miao Qing, this is not the case with us."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your grandmother is not used to us, and we are not less angry with her! Don't say that we are the emperor, even the head of an ordinary family is tougher than us!"

Zhu Xiongying laughed loudly, and said half-jokingly, "That's because the grandpa and grandma are deeply in love with each other. It would be a lie to say that the grandson doesn't envy her. What's more, the grandma is so wise, she has helped the grandpa a lot."

Old Zhu also laughed, extremely proud.This is the reason why he has not been crowned empress for so many years, that position will always only belong to his sister, and others are not qualified to be empresses.

The grandpa and grandson were eating and chatting, and it seemed that the atmosphere was a little more harmonious, and there were not so many rules and so on.

Whether it is for Zhu Xiongying or Lao Zhu, this way of getting along is probably only possible when the two of them are together.Others dare not get along with them in such a peaceful manner.
