Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 256 The Furious Old Zhu
For Kong Na, he doesn't need to worry about other things at all now.This time when he came to Yingtian Mansion, Kong Na just couldn't refuse the imperial decree, just like his ancestors couldn't refuse those barbarians.The Kong family doesn't care who dominates the world, but the Kong family also knows that they can't resist the soldiers in power.

However, Kong Na also has his own responsibilities. Anyway, he is also 'Wen Zong'. As a descendant of Confucius, he also has his own responsibilities.

When the court was full of joy, Lao Zhu suddenly appeared.This time Zhu Yunying also 'naturally' left the dragon chair, and gave the main seat to Lao Zhu, who sat on the side.Little Zhu was also very happy at this time, happily going to find his queen mother.

For little Zhu, sitting alone in front of the small case is far worse than being next to his father, mother, or great-grandfather.

Lao Zhu looked quite relieved, and said in a clear voice, "This is also a group of virtuous people. Our Great Ming Dynasty will be governed by you, so we can rest assured. You will either follow us to conquer the world and drive out the Tartars, or Follow us to restore people's livelihood. We are happy, although we have abdicated, we don't care about political affairs anymore, the new emperor has done a good job, and you should do your best to help."

Now that Lao Zhu has said so, it naturally means that all civil, military and clan members need to listen to the oracle quickly.

Lao Zhu also continued to say at this time, "This time we are thinking about the matter of Chunwei, which also makes us worry. The country has been established for [-] years, and we have worked hard. We originally thought that the pseudo-yuan would be driven away by us, and we The Han people should also get tougher. Looking at it now, it’s still not enough!"

This is the beginning of the conversation. Those 'feasts' before are just illusions.Some of the things that the Supreme Emperor said were the highlight, and these things were the fundamental reasons for everyone to cheer up. This is not a trivial matter.

Zhu Yunying was basically silent at this time, probably because he had self-knowledge. He knew that even if Lao Zhu abdicated, he was still the most powerful person in the world, and he was still the real soul and core of the empire.

Old Zhu said earnestly, and continued, "We know that many people in the government and the public like Yingtian Mansion, and we don't want to leave! Our hometown is in Fengyang, and the mausoleum of our parents is over there. We are in Yingtian, and we are also leaving home. It’s close. The south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, and everyone likes it. It’s just that it’s not going to work, our Daming, we can’t be a small imperial court in a corner!”

Well, Lao Zhu mentioned the matter of moving the capital again. This matter has long been a foregone conclusion. Lao Zhu brought up the old matter again, which can be regarded as telling everyone what is in his heart.The most important thing is to say it now, if anyone dares to object again, not to mention Lao Zhu, even Xiao Zhu will take action unceremoniously at this time, which is a cruel attack.

"Looking at the past dynasties, the country was established in the north. The six dynasties were all our Yingtian, but this Yingtian is only a small court such as the Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen." Said, "Our Daming is different, our Daming is unified, and our Daming should not enjoy comfort in this Jiangnan land."

In fact, many people are aware of these things, and the Great Ming Qian did not mean that the emperor's grandson at that time led it.At that time, the emperor Lao Zhu and the prince Zhu Biao both wanted to move the capital, but they only wanted Chang'an.It's just that they knew that Guanzhong was dilapidated and not suitable for the capital, so they had to consider Beiping, a city they didn't think much about before.

The old Zhu who stood up didn't seem to have the glory and luxury of an emperor, but who would dare to underestimate this domineering emperor who was born with mud legs.

With his hands behind his back, Old Zhu continued, "We are not happy about Chunwei this time. We know that there are few talented people in the north, and the style of writing has always been inferior to that in the south. It's just that we are Ming, why is the north so withered? Shi Jingtang lost Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures After the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains became even more ups and downs. We drove away those tartars, and we were busy going to the barbarians and restoring the etiquette of our Han family. This is not well done, very badly!"

During the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the whole world was respected by the Mongols, and many Chinese traditions were lost.The north is the hardest-hit area, and it has been under the rule of foreign races since Shi Jingtang.Even though Lao Zhu has always used policies such as intermarriage, changing Han surnames, or getting rid of Hu people's habits, there are still many people in Daming who do not recognize Daming very much.

Especially in the north, this situation is more obvious, and these things are indeed more serious.

The civil and military officials or the clan in the palace just listened patiently at this time. The Supreme Emperor was admonishing them, so they were naturally very patient.At this time, there is really no need to say anything, and it is impossible to refute the Supreme Emperor at this time. The Supreme Emperor is far-sighted.

Zhu Yunying was even more low-key at this time, he knew that Lao Zhu was not showing off his merits, and he knew that the next thing was the highlight of this big banquet.All that Lao Zhu is talking about now is actually an appetizer, which is just a small foreshadowing.

Looking at Kong Na, Lao Zhu suddenly asked, "Yan Shenggong, the whole world knows about the troubles in the spring, and we also know that Shilin has a lot of resentment."

Kong Na got up quickly at this time, still acting as if he was speaking for scholars all over the world, "Your Majesty Qizuo, there are a lot of criticisms about the Spring Festival this time. It seems that the scholars from the north and the south feel unfair. The imperial court puts up the list of nominees, and the scholars will also Know that the court is fair."

Old Zhu smiled, but suddenly asked, "Yan Shenggong, we heard that no one from Qufu applied for the exam?"

Kong Na froze for a moment, he really didn't know these things.In fact, he really didn't care about these things. It didn't matter whether Qufu applied or not, and it didn't matter whether the Confucian family applied or not.What's important is that the Kong family's position is stable, and that's enough.

In fact, many people in the Ministry of Rites knew that it was really not Qufu that no one should apply.It’s just that for some reason, there were obviously three applicants, but suddenly either fell ill before the examination, or was dazzled in the brothel, and just missed this time of Chunwei by chance.

Kong Na didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only be perfunctory, "I'm guilty!"

Lao Zhu seemed serious, but he was also comforting, "This has nothing to do with Yan Shenggong. We just thought that Qufu is the hometown of Confucius, and the style of writing has always been prosperous. It's just that we let people have a look, and our hometown of Confucius is very rare. country's effectiveness."

For a moment, the hall was completely silent. Is this Emperor Zhu expressing his dissatisfaction with Yan Shenggong's lineage?

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu once recognized the Yuan Dynasty, and he recognized many things.For example, Lao Zhu recognized the rule and orthodox status of the Yuan Dynasty, and at the same time continued to confer the title of Duke Yansheng on the descendants of the Confucian family who had defected to the Mongols in Qufu.

All of this is out of overall considerations, and it is impossible for Yan Shenggong to rebel, so it is naturally insignificant to the ruler.

Looking at Kong Na, Lao Zhu continued, "We were in the Northern Expedition in the 27th year of Zhizheng. At that time, we were still the king of Wu. Zhang Xingzu, the Marquis of Dongsheng, won consecutive battles and fought all the way to Qufu. We remember that Kong Xiju, the magistrate of Qufu County, was the commander-in-chief of Kong Xi at that time. Waiting to greet him at the military gate, Zhang Xingzu will treat him with courtesy."

Kong Xixue is the father of Kong Na, the last Yan Shenggong of the Yuan Dynasty, and the first Yan Shenggong of the Ming Dynasty.

Kong Na quickly opened his mouth and said, "Master Wang's destiny belongs to him, and my father obeys it."

"You bastard!" Zhu Zhaohui, the son of the King of Lu, jumped up against the case, a little angry, "Guyao leads Yanzhou, and Qufu is under it! I searched the county annals all over the place, and Kong Kejian once played the puppet emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, saying, "The Son of Heaven should be with the Ancestral Temple of Sheji." Live and die together, don't give up lightly'!"

Lu Wang Zhu Zhaohui is the eldest son of the first Lu Wang Zhu Tan, also the grandson of Concubine Guo Ning.This little brother is a real little brother. His father died young back then, and Zhu Yunxi, the cousin, often "dominated" in Lu Wang's mansion.

Moreover, Concubine Guo Ning has always been "flattering" Zhu Yunying over the years. Zhu Zhaohui's uncle Guo Ying is also Lao Zhu's confidant and Xiao Zhu's subordinate.So this time, it was Zhu Zhaohui, a 12-year-old boy who had not yet inherited the throne, who fired at Yan Shenggong's lineage.

Kong Na was even more embarrassed, that was what his grandfather did.Speaking of which, it was loyalty to the Great Yuan, but now it is under the rule of the Great Ming Dynasty.Of course, Kong Na was also embarrassed to be exposed directly in the court. His grandfather did something to deceive his descendants.

The situation at that time was the uprising of the Red Turban Army. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty wanted to move the capital, and Kong Kejian, the Duke of Yansheng at that time, immediately played.Probably because he felt that the vitality of the Yuan Dynasty was not damaged, or because he felt that the Yuan Dynasty would continue to rule the world.

Of course, it is also possible that the Confucian family, who was promoted to the fourth rank, inherited the title of Yan Shenggong, and was awarded the rank of Zhongyi doctor, felt that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was good.Because the Confucian mansion was continuously allocated funds for repairs during the Yuan Dynasty, and Confucius was also posthumously awarded the title of "Sage Wenxuan King". Compared with the Tang and Song Dynasties, the size of the Confucian Temple has been further expanded, and this has allowed the Confucian family to see the benefits.

Old Zhu was a little angry at this time, and shouted at Zhu Zhaohui, "Huangkou kid dares to lie! Yan Shenggong's family is of high moral character, how can you allow you to slander the disciples of the sages!"

Zhu Zhaohui immediately knelt down and howled miserably, "Your Majesty the emperor, grandson Zhu Zhaohui has something to say!"

Old Zhu was still angry, pointing at Zhu Zhaohui and yelling, "Come here, drag this lawless bastard down and hand it over to the Clan Mansion!"

Zhu Zhaohui is the heir son of King Lu, so he was naturally handed over to the clan's family for disposal.And many people also know that this little brother has always been his big brother's pawn.Now he is very happy in Yingtian Mansion, following his 'second cousin' Zhu Yunxi all day long, as if he doesn't want to go back to Yanzhou fiefdom.

This also made some other vassal princes with fiefs gnash their teeth. Today, they don't want the prince to have fiefs, at least not to give them real seals. Everyone knows this very well.But some princes who already had fiefdoms pretended to be confused.The joy of being an emperor in one's own fief is much better than being a wealthy prince in Yingtian Mansion.

Prince Lu's son Zhu Zhaohui is young and should study in Yingtian Mansion, it doesn't matter if he doesn't receive a fief.But this kid has an attitude of supporting the reduction of the fiefdom. This kid is a pawn of today's horse, which makes many princes gnash their teeth.

Zhu Yunying immediately hugged Lao Zhu's thigh, and begged, "Grandfather, Zhao Hui is the only son of the tenth uncle, and the only blood of the tenth uncle!"

Old Zhu was still very angry, as if he wanted to kick Zhu Yunying away, "We just know that he is the only son of Lao Shi! Emperor, get out of the way for us, we have to deal with this lawless bastard!"

Zhu Yunying really couldn't hold back tears, so he could only howl and act forcefully, "Brother Wang is at fault, it's because our big brother didn't discipline him well! I hope Grandpa Emperor will show mercy, don't punish Zhaohui! Hand Zhaohui over to Chen Chen, Sun Chen The minister personally disciplines!"

At this moment, Xu Miaoqing whispered something to Zhu Wenyin who was about to cry, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

Old Zhu was still very angry, and he yelled at Zhu Yunying, "We have worked so hard to fight the world, and we just want our children and grandchildren to have a bright future! Listen to what that bastard said!"

At this time, little Zhu had already climbed down from the imperial steps, and ran to Zhu Zhaohui under the expectant and puzzled eyes of the crowd.Pulling Zhu Zhaohui's arm, Chubby's face flushed instantly.

"Bastard!" Old Zhu was even more furious, pointing at Zhu Zhaohui and little Zhu and yelling, "What are you waiting for!"

Old Zhu's voice frightened little Zhu, and he pulled Zhu Zhaohui's little hand loose.In an instant, Dou Da's tears flowed out, but Grandfather Gao had never been cruel to him.

"Grandfather, don't scold Uncle Wang!" Xiao Xiaozhu cried, crying very sadly, "Uncle Wang made a mistake, and my father will do it for me."

Ok?
Zhu Yunying glanced at Xu Miaoqing, did you make a mistake?Or is it that our son's memory is not good, and he forgot a lot of things in just seven seconds.Since it's acting, it's a complete set, so why should I, a father, take the blame.

Although Zhu Zhaohui's heart was pounding, he gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Grandfather, Your Majesty the Emperor, Sun Chen is guilty!"

"Slandering Yan Shenggong's lineage, molesting the emperor and the prince, what should you do!" Although Lao Zhu felt sorry for his great-grandson, he had to perform a full set of acting, "Come here, drag him out."

Zhu Yunying immediately hugged her thigh, turned around and shouted, "Yin'er, take your Uncle Wang away! Yunxi, Yunxi, go and help!"

Old Zhu Chuli was furious. He pushed Zhu Yunying away with his majestic big hands, and then strode towards Fu Rang on the right side of the imperial steps and drew out the sword from his waist.Zhu Yunying threw himself onto Old Zhu's waist and howled sadly, "Zhu Zhaohui, I order you to get out, get out!"

Lao Zhu was furious, raised his sword and shouted, "Dare, let's see who dares!"

Zhu Yunwen was stupid, he was singing and dancing just now, so why is it now a drama of 'killing relatives with righteousness'.His two silly younger brothers kowtowed heavily to Lao Zhu at this moment, and then dragged Zhu Zhaohui's arms from left to right to drag him away.

And Xiao Xiaozhu opened his hands to block, apparently trying to stop his great-great-grandfather.

"Grandfather, His Majesty the Emperor, be merciful!"

"Your Majesty the Father, be merciful!"

The clan's side reacted the fastest, and some grandchildren rushed out immediately, helping Zhu Yunxi and the others to drag Zhu Zhaohui out of Jinshen Hall.Those who were far away knelt down and begged the emperor's grandfather for mercy, and those who were a little discerning used their thin or burly bodies to stand in front of the crown prince.
Zhu Yunying howled for a long time and still didn't have a tear, because Lao Zhu blocked him, so he continued howling calmly.While howling, he quickly peeked around.It's a pity that Lao Zhu blocked him, so he couldn't see clearly that those people in the court stood up to intercede, so he had to ask back.

Turning his head, he noticed Xu Miaoqing quietly raised his head and looked this way worriedly.He blinked, curled his lips, and continued to howl miserably.You have to invest in it, and you have to be emotional, otherwise it will be easy to reveal your secrets.

Xu Miaoqing was still a little worried at first, worried that her "arrogance from favor" would cause the emperor to be blamed.But now it seems that there is no need to worry, her husband, what is she thinking about.

The furious grandpa is indeed more realistic and devoted than her husband.
