Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 253
Many things actually have some special meanings. For example, before the Northern Song Dynasty, the enshrining of Zen on Mount Tai was considered a boastful achievement for the emperor.But now, Taishan Fengchan has lost its magic and charm.

It's just that this time, preparing for a grand banquet in the court hall, this is the seemingly incomparable glory of civil servants.The status of scholars was as low as dust in the Mongol and Yuan Dynasties. Although the status of scholars improved after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the overall status of scholars still needs to be improved.

For scholars, they are eager to further improve their status.

Zhu Yunying was in a good mood and asked a few casual questions.He just needs to explain some things, and there will naturally be someone below who can take care of them.

Flipping through the memorial, Zhu Yunying suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, and really didn't know what to say.

Speaking of it, Zhu Yunying was "promoted", who made him the emperor, so many things are not just a matter of one person.For example, Zhu Yunying now has a son and a daughter, so there is no problem with his fertility.

But in the eyes of civil and military officials, this is not enough. Although Xiao Xiaozhu has been named the crown prince, the heir apparent of Ming Dynasty has already been determined.It's just that in the eyes of many people, this is not enough. There are only four people in the harem, and there are only one son and one daughter. Such descendants are a bit thin.

The minister who submitted the Zhezi was not trying to please, or wanted Zhu Yunying to "the king will not go to court early", but just did his duty as a courtier. He simply hoped that the emperor would have more heirs and have more guarantees.

Zhu Yunying, who smiled, actually didn't care too much. Before Xu Miaoqing gave birth to little Zhu, Zhu Yunying actually cared more.Of course, at that time, Zhu Yunying made sure that the other concubines would not become pregnant.But now, he didn't deliberately let some people contraceptive, but sometimes Zhu Yunying still cared about his body.

It is also impossible to let him have no restraint. After all, his work is very busy and he has no time to think about those things all day long.

Glancing at the minister's signature on the memorial, Zhu Yunying suddenly felt speechless.He was thinking of ways to deceive Shenggong and scholars, but he encountered some obvious or not obvious births here.

"Go and tell Grandpa Huang that after finishing the government affairs, go there for dinner." Zhu Yunying said to Wang Cheng'en, "Have someone prepare some rice wine and roast duck, and just make whatever else you like."

Roast duck has a long history. It is said that it originated in Jiankang during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China. This is naturally Yingtianfu.Lao Zhu used plump and meaty lake ducks to make dishes in Yingtianfu's founding harem. In order to increase the flavor of the duck dishes, he baked them with charcoal fire to make the ducks crispy and fragrant.

According to "Love Through Time and Space", it was created by some fairy princess, and Lao Zhu's stupid son still wants to blow the duck.

Zhu Yunying, who continued to review the memorials, successfully completed the work. Many things did not require him to do it himself, and they could be solved relatively smoothly. This also made Zhu Yunying feel more at ease and comforted in his heart, and he seemed to be doing well. Not bad.

Just when Zhu Yunying was about to go for a walk, she suddenly felt a little inconvenient.

Lao Zhu is still in the imperial city now, in fact, the East Palace where Zhu Yunying lives now has been upgraded in form, but the entire imperial city has not changed much.The eastern and western harem still live with Lao Zhu's concubines, which naturally means that Zhu Yunying is not easy to run around.

In fact, after he became an adult, even if he walked around the palace, sometimes there were restrictions.When I was a child, I ran around everywhere, and Lao Zhu let it go.When I grow up, I can't go to many places. Even if I want to go to the imperial garden to see flowers and birds, I have to send someone to tell me in advance, just because I am afraid that I will bump into Lao Zhu's concubine.

"My lord, the fourth master is here." Wang Chengen said immediately when he heard the news from the little eunuch.

Zhu Yunxi is here, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi are really difficult to call now.Not to mention that he has not been crowned king yet, and if the ruthless Zhu Yunying is really crowned a county king or something, they will probably only recognize it.Of course, Zhu Yunying would not do such a thing.

The fourth prince, but Da Zhu did not ascend the throne at that time, and they were also Zhu Yunying's peers.This title, definitely not.

Zhu Yunying laughed immediately, and then said, "Let's get someone ready to order some food and drinks. The fourth child and I are going to drink some wine, so let's go to the side hall."

Zhu Yunxi is actually quite at ease, because he has not received some messy 'training' since he was born.Even if he heard some nagging occasionally, it was his second brother and so on, not his 'second son'.

Just like Zhu Yunying and his brothers and sisters, in private, they are sorted according to the order of the same mother.Those of the Lu family are sorted separately.As for Lu's side, it's actually the same.It's just that everyone has a tacit understanding, and they still follow the normal order on the scene.

"You are the most similar to your father. Come with me to Qianqing Palace for dinner." Zhu Yunying spoke directly and said to Zhu Yunxi, "Did your second brother say something to you after returning yesterday?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately replied respectfully, "Return to Your Majesty. The second brother never said anything."

"Heretic again." Zhu Yunying was helpless, and also said with some earnestness, "Like your third brother, your second brother can't help it, and he didn't let me teach you well before. We are a heavenly family, and we still have to teach a scholar? How long will it be?" Grandpa the Emperor wants to take your eldest nephew back to his hometown, you will be granted the title first, and then you will be escorted by the county horse along the way. Grandpa Emperor doesn’t care about other things, it’s up to you.”

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then he was terrified, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I don't know martial arts!"

"Go and learn if you don't know it!" Zhu Yunying immediately criticized, "I don't want you to be a general in charge of the army. It's good to know a little bit about soldiers. Don't think too much this time. But Grandpa Huang is the emperor immediately."

This time Zhu Yunxi felt at ease, he just thought too much.Although he was asked to 'lead troops', it was just a show.It would be unrealistic to let him decide everything.Don't say that Lao Zhu didn't allow it, Zhu Yunying himself couldn't agree.

The one who can make Lao Zhu feel relieved to hand over the military power is the former Zhu Biao and the current Zhu Yunying.Little Zhu is also possible, but that also requires little Zhu to grow up a bit, and little Zhu needs to prove himself a little bit.

"Your second brother wants to stay in Yingtian Mansion and be with scholars." Zhu Yunying said to Zhu Yunxi while drinking, "What about you? What is your plan? Do you want to stay in Yingtian Mansion or go to Peking?"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Yunying cautiously, and then said, "Your Majesty, I want to learn from Prince Jingjiang."

King Jingjiang, this is definitely the most special one among the Ming clan.

Jingjiang Wang's lineage is Zhu Xinglong, the eldest brother of Nanchang Wang, who was starved to death at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.Zhu Xinglong's eldest son was Zhu Wenzheng, who served as the governor of the highest government office in the army.The most glorious time in his life was sitting in an isolated city in the defense of Hongdu and resisting the attack of Chen Youliang's 60 troops.

The status of this former "successor" dropped sharply after Zhu Biao was born, and because of his dissatisfaction with Lao Zhu, he acted in a wrong way.In the end, he was exempted from office and placed under house arrest in Tongcheng, where he died not long after.

Lao Zhu didn't have a nephew like Sha, and he left his eldest brother a line of wealth and honor.It's a pity that Zhu Shouqian, the only son of Zhu Wenzheng, didn't cherish this opportunity. After the founding of the country, Zhu Shouqian was granted the title of king among the princes, and Zhu Shouqian was named King of Jingjiang, and he established a vassal in Guilin.

King Jingjiang, whose real name was Tie Zhu, was later renamed Zhu Wei, and then Zhu Shouqian was very unhappy.He is the grandson of Zhu Xinglong, king of Nanchang, and he wants to conquer Nanchang, not the remote Guilin.

He was unwilling to seal it at the beginning. If Queen Ma hadn't persuaded him at the time, he would have ended badly.It was finally sealed off, and as soon as he arrived in Guilin, he revealed the characteristics of being surly, sinister, and wanton.Lao Zhu couldn't bear it, so he sent him back to the capital.

This thought that in the end, he wrote poems to satirize Lao Zhu, and Lao Zhu was deposed as a commoner for a time.But for the sake of his eldest brother and nephew, he was given a second title.However, Zhu Shouqian was sorry for his name. He indulged in extravagance, plundered and killed innocent people, and extorted money. He was recalled by Lao Zhu again, and he was still resettled in Fengyang. a township.

This one had just died five years ago, at the age of 32.As for the remaining throne, Lao Zhu's "family heart is kind" is also because of his nephew Zhu Wenzheng and his nephew's grandnephew, so their descendant Zhu Zanyi was left in the capital to receive education with the princes.

"We will definitely cut down the vassal in the future, and the same is true for Zanyi." Zhu Yunying said, "Guilin is the land of my Ming Dynasty after all, so it is not easy to crack the soil and seal the king. But I remember that Brother Jingjiang once sent envoys to Yunnan and Burma. As a result, the envoy was humiliated in every way."

Zhu Yunxuan immediately said, "My younger brother wants to follow the example of my fourth uncle, and start building and enfeoffing in overseas places!"

Zhu Yunying laughed loudly, with great arrogance, "Okay, you are worthy of being the heir of my Zhu family! I have agreed to this matter. This time, you will go back to Fengyang's hometown with the emperor's grandfather to worship your ancestors, and I will arrange for you to train and command soldiers in the future!"

Zhu Yunxuan was a little excited, and then said, "The son of Prince Jingjiang also has such thoughts, and wants to conquer Baiyi and sweep away the humiliation of brother Wang."

Zhu Shouqian and Zhu Yunying are of the same generation, although Zhu Shouqian is about ten years older in age.And the current Zhu Zanyi is even three years older than his uncle Zhu Yunxi.

"Success, this matter will have to be done sooner or later!" Zhu Yunying laughed, full of pride, "Bai Yi is too arrogant! Regardless of whether Brother Wang is crazy or not, this is also my Ming clan!"

It is too difficult to have a fief within the territory of Daming, but Zhu Yunying is very supportive of establishing a country outside the territory of Daming!
Whether it's his younger brother or cousin, he needs support.If his uncles wanted to establish a country overseas, Zhu Yunying would also ask for money and soldiers.Of course, this is just to say, it is definitely not an endless supply, but just a "starting fund". After all, there are many clans, and the emperor can't afford it!
