Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 227 Good Guys and Bad Guys
Ascension to the throne and proclaiming emperor is a brand new beginning for Zhu Yunying, and it is also a brand new beginning for the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that some people seem to feel that there hasn't been much change, it's just that the emperor's grandson is now sitting on the dragon chair, confirming the status of the monarch and his ministers.Many things do not seem to have changed much.

Don't look at the Emperor Yingshi Zhu Yunying who is sitting on the dragon chair now, but what many civil and military officials are really in awe of is the Hongwu Emperor behind the scenes.The majesty of the new emperor is still not enough, and the new emperor really needs more time to control the court.

Zhu Yunying doesn't need to care too much about many things, he has some plans of his own.He also knew that many things should not be rushed. Now that Lao Zhu is still alive, Zhu Yunying can naturally improve his prestige during this period of time.This is a pretty good transition stage, at least he takes over now, no one dares to stab.

Old Zhu's lingering prestige is still there, these things naturally make Zhu Yunying feel at ease, and he doesn't need to worry about fighting with courtiers.Even if the civil and military officials complained about many things, they all resigned to their fate just thinking about Lao Zhu who seemed to have retired to the Supreme Emperor.

The princes who were entrusted outside can finally bring their heirs back to the fief. From the birthday of their father to the enthronement of the new emperor, these people have been in Yingtian Mansion for three months, and there is not much for them now.In front of their father, each of them kept their own place and confirmed their titles as monarchs and ministers, so there was no need to stay in Yingtian Mansion any longer.

As for the princes who have not been entrusted, it is estimated that they are all watching eagerly.

But the effect was mediocre. Zhu Yunying first appointed two princes, both of whom were his younger brothers.Two younger sisters were conferred, Zhu Xi is the princess of Jiangdu, and Zhu Yue is the princess of Linhuai, and the titles are relatively noble.

Needless to say, Zhu Yunxi's Wu Wang was the title of Lao Zhu before he ascended the throne.Xu Wang Zhu Yunwen, that is Xuzhou, one of the nine states in China.Jiangdu didn't need to be suspicious, it was very close to Yingtianfu.As for Linhuai, simply speaking, it was also called Zhongli and Haozhou in the past. In the third year of Hongwu, Linhao County was changed to Linhuai County, and it was merged into Fengyang Mansion in the seventh year.

To put it simply, the titles of Zhu Yunying's younger brothers and sisters are either noble, or they are very close to Ying Tianfu.Naturally, a lot of information can be conveyed here, and many people also feel that the new emperor takes good care of his younger siblings.

Xu Miaoqing is also very busy during this time. As the queen of the dynasty, she naturally needs to shoulder her own responsibilities.

Chang Lan's status is also very special, many court wives are paying attention to Chang Lan's.She is Chang Yuchun's main wife, the former empress Chang's mother, and even the new emperor's grandmother, with a detached status.

With three daughters-in-law, Chang Lan has no psychological barriers at all.It is true that she is an elder, but she also knows that she must abide by her duties as a courtier.

"Mrs. Kaiping doesn't need to be too polite." Xu Miaoqing got up quickly, helped Chang Lan up and said, "Mrs. Tai is very valuable."

Chang Lan didn't care, and showed a kind smile, "The concubine is a courtier after all, so don't be mad."

"Madam Tai is heretic." Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "Madam Tai is His Majesty's grandmother after all. If Madam Tai pays a respectful visit, His Majesty must blame the concubines for disrespecting the elders."

At this time, Shuangquan came, "I also invite Princess Kaiping to accept the order."

Lao Zhu gave Chang Lan a walking stick, which is also a reference to the Western Han Dynasty's praise and lack of fame and failure to enter the court.This can be regarded as a rescue for Zhu Yunying and Xu Miaoqing, and only when Lao Zhu personally decreed that Chang Lan could truly avoid kneeling down.

It is normal for Chang Lan to have such an honor, her status is special.But Zhu Yunying's three aunts did not have such treatment. After all, those emperor uncles of Zhu Yunying had determined their titles as monarchs and ministers according to etiquette.Lao Zhu has strict requirements on his own sons, and other people's daughters-in-law naturally don't think too much about it.

Many wives looked at Chang Lanshi sourly, and looked at the crested crutch in her hand with extremely hot eyes.Although it didn't say that the king was beaten up and the treacherous ministers were beaten down, but if some officials were really beaten up, those people would only recognize them, and they would not even dare to stop them.

Zhu Yue watched with a smile, she was very proud of holding her fat son.Her imperial brother is now the Son of Heaven, and she even takes the title of Emperor Township, which naturally shows that the eldest princess has a special and noble status.As long as her son-in-law makes some military exploits, the succession to the throne will be just around the corner, and her son's future will be guaranteed.

Little Zhu came running, the crazy little guy had experienced big scenes, coupled with Lao Zhu's pampering, this child didn't even know what it meant to be afraid.As for the wives looking at him, Xiao Zhu has nothing to be afraid of.

Wearing the regular clothes of the crown prince, although it is a little pocket-sized, it is still a genuine crown prince.

Xu Miaoqing's three sisters-in-law also looked at Xiao Xiaozhu, this is also their future support.Little Zhu was immediately canonized as the crown prince when the new emperor ascended the throne. In addition, many people could see the emperor's doting on little Zhu, so they naturally felt more at ease.

Daming, it seems that there is really no need to consider any hidden residence, no need to consider any Conglong, the order of succession is very clear.The new emperor seems to be incomparably acknowledging the rules established by the Supreme Emperor.

"Mom, daddy said, enjoy the food." Xiaoxiaozhu said in a childish voice, which moved the hearts of many wives.

Picking up the fat son, Xu Miaoqing said, "You have to change your tune, you have to be called father emperor and mother queen."

"Great-grandfather said, don't change it." Little Zhu knew clearly that his great-grandfather was the biggest and most powerful, "Father was scolded."

Uh, although Zhu Yunying has ascended the throne, the one who has the most right to speak in Daming is still Lao Zhu.Even though it seems that all civil and military officials in the court are convinced of the new emperor, compared with Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yunying, the new emperor, has a long way to go and still has a lot to learn.

Xu Miaoqing was a little embarrassed. Although her husband was enthroned, he was still scolded when he should be scolded.Xu Miaoqing knew better that her husband was scolded, no accident because of this little fat man in her arms, this was the main reason why her husband was scolded.

It was also because Lao Zhu met foreigners very well, and he seemed to respect Xu Miaoqing, his granddaughter-in-law.It's just that this kind of respect also reveals an element of alienation, so I don't bother to say anything.For Zhu Yunying, the eldest grandson, Old Zhu scolded him because he couldn't see it. It was normal for a grandpa to scold his grandson.

At this time, Wang Chengen came with some maids and eunuchs, and rewarded three dishes to Chang Lan's family, and one dish each to the wives of Chang Mao, Chang Sen, and Chang Sheng.For the wives of the three brothers of the Xu family, in addition to the two dishes for Xu Huizu's wife, the wives of Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou also had one dish, which can be regarded as an honor.

Lian Qiongqiong's mother, as well as the wives of Ru Yu, Yan Zhenzhi and others, also received vegetables.

You can see the status of many people in the heart of the new emperor at once, and you can also see the structure of the court at once.

In the 'East Palace', Zhu Yunying poured wine for Lao Zhu with a smile, "Let Yin'er go, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

"It's good if there is trouble. The new emperor ascends the throne, and the courtiers are uncertain." Old Zhu smiled and said to Zhu Yunying, "Among those people you put in, can you be someone from Dongchang?"

Zhu Yunying immediately felt complacent, and said, "Really, Wang Chengen is not bad, and he has trained a few reliable people in the palace. Now there are a few Dongchang people in the banquet over there."

Lao Zhu even showed a proud smile. His grandson is also very good at acting, and it really is the tradition of Lao Zhu's family.

Many people said that when Liu Han was in power, the emperors of the Liu family were mean and ungrateful. In fact, the emperors of the old Zhu family were all the same.Zhu Biao, who was posthumously named Emperor Xiaowen, is actually the same. Those who say that he is elegant and lenient, do not know the decisiveness of this man behind his back, and did not see his ruthlessness when Zhu criticized him in the Hu Weiyong case.

But now, Zhu Yunying in the period of the emperor's grandson shouted that Jin Yiwei was too tyrannical and so on.But in fact, the elite of Jinyiwei was retained in a blink of an eye, and some of them continued to stay in Jinyiwei.The other part is Dongchang. While these two spy agencies are restricting each other, they also have a division of labor.

Jin Yiwei is now more concerned with the outside world, and in the country, it only supervises the affairs of the people.And Dongchang mainly focuses on domestic intelligence, and its supervision of civil and military officials is no less than that of Jinyiwei, but it will not wantonly arrest people and directly judge them.

Looking at the eldest grandson who made him proud, Lao Zhu taught and said, "Ying'er, now that you are also the emperor, you should change your ways. Princes and grandsons can be kind and generous. You have to let those Ministers lean towards you. But when you become emperor, you have to let them respect you and fear you, that's how it works!"

"Then this matter needs the help of the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Yunying also laughed, and said very unscrupulously, "When the emperor's grandfather was in power before, those ministers had to have someone to be afraid of, someone who could protect them. Now that the grandson is the emperor, the grandson must slowly become decisive and ruthless, Yin'er is too young, he can't do this."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, then worried, "This is not going to work, we have killed too many people over the years, and we can't control our temper."

"For the sake of my grandson and for the sake of Ming's country, Grandpa Huang has to control his temper." Zhu Yunying smiled like a thief, and said triumphantly, "In two days, my grandson will continue to deal with a group of ministers. It’s not over. This year there will be an imperial examination again, and many ministers were dissatisfied with my grandson’s proposal for the North and South Lists.”

Lao Zhu suddenly understood, and said, "Okay, now you go to be the bad guy, and we are the good guy. We have to protect some ministers. You tell us their names when the time comes, and we will issue an imperial edict to protect them."

Zhu Yunying reminded, and said, "Don't overprotect, grandson still wants to take the opportunity to send a group of people down, so as to show the Kong family some color."

Lao Zhu was speechless for a moment, his grandson had been having trouble with the son of Confucius.It is estimated that within a few years, Yan Shenggong's status will plummet.Boil the frog in warm water, and the courtiers may become numb at that time, watching Yan Shenggong slowly fall to the altar.
