Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 25 Changing customs is not easy

Zhu Xiongying can be said to be relatively clear about Lao Zhu's mentality.

Among the civil and military officials and nobles and heroes under him, Lao Zhu has more of a king's mentality.Even for other children, Lao Zhu would not be a kind father most of the time.

In fact, Lao Zhu is really good to his children. He is afraid that his children will suffer, so he works hard to provide them with a better life, and even thinks about the future generations.

It's just that Lao Zhu may not have imagined that the Zhu family's clan will almost completely crush the finances of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Zhu Xiongying didn't say anything during this time, because it's useless to say it, it would only make Lao Zhu angry.He can act like a rogue and mischievous grandson in front of Lao Zhu, but there are some things Zhu Xiongying won't do.

In front of Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying, Lao Zhu is not just an emperor.It is true that he has the status of emperor, but Lao Zhu is more of a father and grandfather. He can't wait to leave all the best to his sons and grandsons, and he doesn't care about grabbing positions and seizing power.

Zhu Xiongying's "rebellious" words, many times Lao Zhu is more comfortable listening to them, because his grandson is close to him so he will not hide them.

This can be considered to be confident, so Zhu Xiongying is becoming more and more "arrogant" now. Lao Zhu and Da Zhu have already adopted a default attitude towards some things, and they know that Zhu Xiongying knows it well.

For example, they heard Zhu Xiongying's request to play again, and they planned to leave the palace again.The reason was to take a look at some important institutions of Ying Tianfu. This reason made Lao Zhu and Da Zhu think it was necessary, so they approved it anyway.

After all, the grandson of the emperor needs their approval to leave the palace.The most important thing is that the emperor's grandson will go out of the palace, things like guard of honor and safety need to be carefully mentioned by them, and they need to make arrangements.

"Brother Huang, we have to leave the palace too!"

"Brother Huang, I must be obedient, so you can take me out of the palace, okay?"

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue tugged at Zhu Xiongying's sleeves and acted like a spoiled child, while Zhu Yunxi just grinned foolishly beside her.The meaning of the silly boy holding the puppy is also very obvious, and he obviously wants to go out of the palace with him.

Zhu Xiongying carried it, and sat on the chair askew, "Is this difficult? Brother Huang has a business to leave the palace tomorrow, and it will be inconvenient to take you along."

Zhu Xi squeezed Zhu Xiongying's shoulder and said, "Brother Huang, I'm not a child anymore! You'll probably just look around tomorrow, and it's okay to take me with you!"

"That's right, Brother Huang, what business can you do!" Zhu Yue was not to be outdone, and said threateningly, "If you don't take me out of the palace tomorrow, I will definitely bother you every day!"

With a straight face, Zhu Xiongying patted the armrest, "Is there someone who talks to Brother Huang like that?!"

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue were not afraid, they just looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile on their face, they were confident.As for Zhu Yunxie, he was a little scared. Although the emperor's brother hadn't dealt with the emperor's sisters, he had dealt with him a lot.

Forget it, Zhu Xiongying should find a step by himself, "Third brother, go ask the second child, if he wants to leave the palace, he will go with him."

Seeing Zhu Yunxi running away, Zhu Xi pouted and said, "Brother Huang, why bother to call him, Mrs. Lu will definitely not let him go out with us, just like Brother Huang would harm him."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Xiongying patted Zhu Xi's head and said with a smile, "By the way, could it be that Mrs. Lu treated you badly?"

Zhu Yue immediately said, "Then she doesn't dare, but Yue'er is not stupid. She teaches the second child behind our backs all day long, and pressures the second child to study and go to school all day long. The third child in our family eats, drinks and has fun the most. it is good."

Zhu Xi also said, "That's right, the third child pretends to be elegant and studious all day long, but I'd say it's just empty air. He has soft ears and no opinions. He's a good-looking guy who learns to be respectful, virtuous, corporal, diligent and studious. In terms of filial piety and tolerance Ren, I don't think so!"

"Don't talk nonsense, the third child is not bad." Zhu Xiongying smiled and said to the two younger sisters, "Father is not happy to hear this."

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue immediately shrank their necks and said nothing, but it didn't affect their dislike of Zhu Yunqi at all.The closest one is the reliable emperor brother, and it is also necessary to take care of the younger brother Zhu Yunxi who is always silly.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and didn't say much. Regarding Zhu Yunqi, Zhu Xiongying naturally had some opinions in his heart.But it is certain that as long as he is still alive, Zhu Yunqi cannot be the future Emperor Jianwen.

As for Zhu Yunqi, he seemed filial and benevolent, but what that guy did after he ascended the throne was not lenient.

Even if the feudal king's power makes him sleepless, but this guy's method of cutting down the feudal clan is ruthless.There are quite a few vassal kings who were forced to commit suicide, and princes who were imprisoned by the high walls of Fengyang.

This is the emperor who has been limped by some idealists, and he can't hold back the scene at all.He didn't know who he knew, and he didn't have an opinion. As a result, his fourth uncle Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Yunqi's whereabouts were unknown, and his children were either killed or imprisoned.

You can't let Zhu Yunqi take the position, otherwise, the lineage of Prince Zhu Biao would be extinct.I don't know if it's Zhu Yunxuan's own heir or Zhu Yunxie, who was imprisoned by Zhu Di on the Fengyang High Wall for decades, and when he came out, he couldn't even tell the difference between a cow and a horse.

Zhu Yunxuan ran back in a hurry, Zhu Yunxuan would definitely not follow him out of the palace, and everyone didn't think there was anything good about it, that's normal.

Brothers Chang Mao and Chang Sen didn't do much recently, they just waited in the mansion all day, because the emperor's grandson was out of the palace, and they were bound to follow.

The same is true for Fu Rang and Feng Cheng. They seem to be trained as the grandson's team.This seems to allow them to seize the opportunity to become Taisun's confidants.

It's just that it's hard to say whether he can gain a firm foothold and gain the true trust of the grandson.It is hard to say whether they can really become some top nobles who hold great power through the support of their grandsons.

There is no guard of honor, but there are already Jinyiwei, Yulinwei, Huben, etc., waiting at the Meridian Gate.

Wang Chengen was cautious, and had already sent someone to communicate with Chang Mao. Taisun was going to Longjiang Shipyard today, and he needed to make preparations in advance.

Who made Chang Mao the grandson's second uncle, so Feng Cheng and Fu Rang just listened at this time.Especially Feng Cheng, who was beaten up by his grandson a few days ago, is still nervous, even if he may become a prince in the future, but now he dare not raise his tail or put on airs.

Zhu Xi was a little unhappy, and complained to Zhu Xiongying, "Okay, I have to go to some shipyard, where is there anything to see?!"

"Exactly!" Zhu Yue was also denouncing, "Sister Huang and I finally got out of the palace, and you're going to the shipyard!"

Looking at the two younger sisters, Zhu Xiongying gritted his teeth, "I shouldn't have softened my heart back then, and I shouldn't have stopped you when your feet were bound!"

Binding feet, this can be regarded as a bit of history, it is said that it existed in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty.In the Jin Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, they did not prohibit it.

Especially during the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols did not bind their feet, but they did not object to the custom of footbinding, on the contrary, they still held an attitude of appreciation.This also made the wind of footbinding continue to develop in the Yuan Dynasty, and the concept of not being ashamed of footbinding appeared in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yue were upset and worried, "But outsiders say that it's not good to not bind your feet. I shouldn't have listened to you back then, because it hurts."

"Is the imperial grandmother's feet bound?" Zhu Xiongying interrupted immediately, and said with great certainty, "Have the two aunts bound their feet? Remember it for me. What is good in the top is good in the bottom. It’s a good order to prohibit. But if we start to discourage foot binding, these bad habits will disappear in the future!”

Some customs cannot be changed overnight, especially some sour literati fueled the flames, which made many people flock to foot binding.

Things like changing customs are really not that easy. Sometimes it doesn’t mean that a will will change some people’s ideas if it goes down. It takes a long time to slowly change some ideas.

Let's go to the shipyard first. Although Lao Zhu has issued a sea ban, it doesn't mean that there is no shipyard in Ming Dynasty.

Longjiang Shipyard can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty, when it was called Longwandu Shipyard.Today's Longjiang Shipyard is also the most advanced shipyard in Ming Dynasty, and the ships it builds are not bad.

Zhu Xiongying still needs to go and have a look, sea ban, it is definitely impossible for sea ban!
