Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 251 Holy Grace
Liu Wei was a little dizzy, this time Chun Wei, he actually didn't do much as a deputy examiner.

But when he returned to the Princess Mansion, Zhu Zhu was immediately surprised, "Husband, why are you wearing a boa robe?"

In fact, Liu Qian also gave clothes, but basically they were flying fish clothes.The so-called flying fish pattern is made in the shape of a python with fins and tails added to make it a slightly different flying fish python, not a real flying fish shape.In the current Daming, no one dares to wear the flying fish suit like a python robe.

"Blessed by His Majesty's grace, I bestowed upon you a boa robe." Liu Chuan said with a smile, and then felt a little helpless, "Your Majesty knows that ministers don't like officialdom, but this time, let them go to the north, even though Duke Ying is going to fight."

As expected of the blood of the old Zhu family, Zhu Zhu immediately understood, "The emperor said in the early years that you should mention some titles, but if you don't have military merits, it is not easy to inherit them. When Qi'er and Lin'er grow up, it is easy to inherit titles .”

Zhu Yunying is a very straightforward person, and now the clan has noticed something.If it is a cousin or junior named by Zhu Yunying himself, it is basically "Qi, Lin", this is not perfunctory, it is his expectation and closeness.

All the aunts watched eagerly, but basically they didn't receive such treatment.The ones who are treated like this now are Imamami's little aunt and Imamami's two younger sisters, and their heirs are treated like this.

Including the two heirs of Zhu Yunying's eldest aunt, Princess Ningguo, who were not named by Zhu Yunying himself.Except that Zhu Yunying was generally younger at that time, the most important thing was that although the elder aunt had taken care of Zhu Yunying for a while, the younger aunt could be said to have taken care of Zhu Yunying growing up.

Liu Cha sighed, and then said, "My husband wanted to resign and write a book, but now I can't leave. Even if I don't think about myself, I shouldn't lose my grandfather's reputation. Now I have two children, and I should think about them. If you don't go to the north, your heirs will have to blame me when they grow up, and Daming's title will become even more rare."

When the country was first founded, there were many Dukes of the Ming Dynasty, and of course there were also many posthumous ones.The marquises at that time were not obvious to be honest, and there were indeed more marquises mainly in Ming Dynasty.

But now, many nobles have either been deprived of titles due to lawlessness, or have been involved in the Hu Weiyong case and their homes have been ransacked.It also includes having so many titles, in fact, it will slowly start to be degraded.So Daming's title became more and more 'valuable'.

At this time, not only Liu Qian felt this way, Mei Yin also felt that she needed to think about some things.

Although he is now the emperor's favorite son-in-law, and he is also the most important and powerful son-in-law among many son-in-laws, but Mei Yin is also very clear that once the emperor is gone, his status may start to decline.In other words, the current emperor cares about family affection, but future emperors may not care about it.

It doesn't matter if you are an extremely personable official or something, compared with some other royal relatives, Mei Yin didn't think so much.To strive for a title that can be passed on for his own children is what he is looking forward to now.What's more, even if he was a political student, he was the nephew of Runan Hou Mei Sizu, and he had also trained the army.

What's more, even if he went out with the army this time, Mei Yin would not directly rush to the front line.

In fact, it's not just these two sons-in-law who are going to fight at this time, including Feng Cheng, the little brother-in-law who also needs to go to fight.As the son of Feng Guoyong, the nephew of Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Feng Cheng has never been able to inherit his father's posthumous Duke Ying,
In the final analysis, he still lacks military merits, which also makes him eager to make meritorious deeds now, so that he can be more promising.Not just a right-handed military commander-in-chief, he is eager to continue his father's prestige.

As for the Gongsheng students who have left the imperial city at this time, the palace examination is over, but the results will be released after three days.Zhang Xin and others checked the papers, took out the top ten and sent them to Zhu Yunying, and then Zhu Yunying hand-picked the champion.

Lao Zhu sipped his porridge, but only looked at his great-grandson from time to time, "This time, don't just learn by looking at the candidates. The top three, you'd better choose those with good looks. After all, this is your first imperial examination after you ascended the throne. . Yujie praises officials, but it’s not good because some of them are ugly.”

Of course, young talents are more sought after, and it would be perfect if they have more good looks.If the number one scholar has a gray beard and is crumbling on horseback, that would be a bit of a pity to the people who eat melons.So if you want to be the number one pick, appearance is also more important.

Zhu Yunying also had thoughts on this, and didn't hide it, "Grandson really intends to choose some good-looking ones. This subject has also been figured out before the exam. There are almost no great talents, and the overall is relatively mediocre."

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Lao Zhu also knew it, "That's okay, how can there be so many talents to help the world!"

Yes, if there are really so many talents to help the world, Zhu Yunying as the emperor may not be able to be at ease.After all, although the world is generally peaceful now, there are still some rebellions and the like happening from time to time.

If there are too many talents to help the world, Zhu Yunying probably won't feel at ease.

For example, Zhu Yunying, the famous black-clothed prime minister in history, always asked that guy to pray and chant scriptures for his father and mother.The reason is that such people say that they have some dragon-slaying skills, and Zhu Yunying doesn't need those people at all. Could it be that he dislikes that his world is not stable enough?

Someone like Yao Guangxiao might be talented, but for an emperor like Zhu Yunying, he was really useless.So after all these years, Yao Guangxiao has always been a monk honestly.Once it is revealed that you want to go to some prince, or go to the surrounding vassal states, then it will be interesting.

For such a person, Zhu Yunying is not polite when he is ruthless.

Lao Zhu was in a good mood, and said jokingly, "We will probably be scolded by scholars all over the world again."

Zhu Yunying also joked, "Who made you always think about carrying their sub-sage out!"

"It's not your fault this time!" Old Zhu lost his temper, and said with some disgust, "If it wasn't for our great-great-grandson's sake, we wouldn't bother to pay attention to your crap! If you get it down, why don't you look down on him like this?"

Zhu Yunying explained again, "Grandfather, my grandson has never looked down on the sage Kong, but we have looked down on his descendants. Think about it, the descendants of the Confucius family in all dynasties and dynasties like to ascend and descend the most." They will listen to whoever gives them official jobs. It doesn’t matter if they are Han Chinese or barbarians, those people don’t care.”

Yes, the descendants of Confucius really don’t care who is the master of the world, what they care about is whether their own Yan Shenggong can be passed on, and what they care about is whether the master of the world needs to set them as a benchmark for scholars.The things these people care about are actually their own privileges, and they don't need to care about anything else.

The gold man has come and sent the surrender form.The Yuan people did the same when they came, continuing to be their Yan Shenggong.Everything else has nothing to do with them, as long as they enjoy the privilege of Yan Shenggong, it is enough for them.

"Where are the scholars?" Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying very seriously, "We have to treat scholars preferentially. If you continue to make trouble like this, you may be no different from Yuan people. Scholars should also be alienated from us."

Zhu Yunying said, "We still give some powers. We give them all if they don't kneel when they see officials. They can go out and travel, and we will give them dignity. Exemption from corvee can also be recognized. These scholars must have tax-free land. One number, but the officials are actually the same."

In fact, it is just a cap on the tax-exempt land. It is absolutely impossible to keep exempting land with a title.In the future, Zhu Yunying also knows that it is impossible to completely ban things like donating and the like.

It's just that the land donated will not be too much in general, there will not be a village or a county that is almost all the land of one family, and there will be no embarrassing situation where the land of Ming Dynasty is 'less and less'.

Not only scholars and officials, even if the clan wants to annex land in the future, it will not be an easy task.

The more Lao Zhu looked at his grandson, the more satisfied he was, and he felt that his grandson and him were actually of the same temperament.

I dare not say anything else, in short, it is just a matter of worrying about my life.While wanting to do the things in front of me well, I also look at the things in the future.What you see is not just three years or five years, but what you think about is a hundred years or a thousand years, and what you think about is the things of future generations.

Even if there is no way to do everything right now, some hidden dangers must be eliminated in advance.

Little Zhu happily ran over, and said to Zhu Yunying, "Father, I will also go to sacrifice tomorrow."

Zhu Yunying was overjoyed, hugged little Zhu and said, "Okay, then you will go with us."

"Great-grandfather is going too!" Little Zhu leaned towards Old Zhu and said happily, "Grandfather is the old emperor, father is the great emperor, Yin'er is the little emperor!"

Old Zhu smiled openly. It was obvious that Old Zhu taught it. Anyone else who dares to teach like this is sure to die.

Zhu Yunying was speechless. In the past, he just dared to "rank seniority" and made up the old Zhu, Da Zhu, and Xiao Zhu.But his grandpa emperor was tough, so he ranked them directly with the emperor, but this seems to be no problem.

As if remembering something, Zhu Yunying said, "Grandpa Huang, if the weather is warmer, you can take Yin'er back to your hometown."

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Really, do you really want us to take Yin'er back?"

"Take him back. Yin'er hasn't been back since he was born. Grandpa Huang is most suitable to take him back." Zhu Yunying laughed and said, "Grandson may not have time to take Yin'er back. Grandfather should take him back."

Lao Zhu was happy when he thought of this. How proud he was to take his great-grandson to see his parents!
It seems that there is a need to urge, then Laoshi Ziyan Shenggong has to come to Beijing early to get these things done, so that he can take his great-grandson back to his hometown!
