Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 340 Change
At this time, the clan members were actually a little bit upset, mainly because the emperor didn't come, and the emperor came with the crown prince.

The side hall looked lively, but when facing Lao Zhu, these sons and grandsons were all beating their hearts, and each of them was a little scared.In the final analysis, it was because Lao Zhu's coercion was too strong.

Even these princes knew that Lao Zhu actually loved his offspring very much and would not be cruel to them.It's just that no one dared to relax in front of Lao Zhu.Even the seemingly "lawless" Zhu Xi, or the bold and reckless Zhu Yu and Zhu Yu, are all well-behaved in front of Lao Zhu.

As for leaving Yingtian Mansion and not being under Lao Zhu's nose, each of them dared to let themselves go.

These most beloved princes are honest, let alone those other princes who are not favored.Everyone behaved well in front of Lao Zhu, no matter where they dared to make any stabs, it was what Lao Zhu said.

Old Zhu didn't seem to care what his descendants were thinking at all, he just sat in charge for Zhu Yunying.

But in the previous dynasty, Zhu Yunying was naturally celebrating with the civil and military heroes.He is the emperor, his birthday is Christmas, and his birthday is a great event, so don't care about it carelessly.The rules and rituals that should be there are naturally indispensable.

After all, Zhu Yunying was still a young man, so he didn't think too much about it.After all, the current him doesn't need to come to a longevity banquet or anything like that, it's really too early, and there's really no need to think about these things.

For the birthday banquet in the previous dynasty, in fact, Zhu Yunying just went through the process a little bit, and he wanted to celebrate with the clan.

Even Zhu Yunying knew very well that some clans were uncomfortable with him sitting on the dragon chair.But no matter what, now that the status has been determined, those people are now just the princes of Daming, and there is nothing they want to make a fuss about.

When he came to the side hall, Zhu Yunying immediately smiled and said, "I'm not going up now, talking about family etiquette."

Old Zhu also said with a smile when he heard the words, "That's the reason. When you are in court, you should talk about the etiquette of the emperor and ministers. Now that you are not in court, it is good to talk about the family etiquette. It's just that you need to be numbered. Our Yinger is still stronger, we only wear ordinary clothes."

Look, in the eyes of Lao Zhu, his eldest son and grandson are naturally good at everything.It is also best to come to the side hall in regular clothes, this is to talk about family etiquette.But even if Zhu Yunying wears the ship's crown, Lao Zhu thinks it's okay, it must be that the status of the monarch and his ministers has been determined.

Seeing Xiao Zhu sitting down, Lao Zhu said, "Raise your glass!"

This cup is naturally to celebrate Zhu Yunying's birthday.In fact, in the side hall, more than a dozen sons, daughters and sons-in-law of Lao Zhu also came here. This is a real clan gathering.

Smiling and drinking, the atmosphere seems to be quite lively now, especially Xiaoxiaozhu and other children running around.At this time, there is no need to talk about too many rules, and Lao Zhu is more happy to see such a lively scene.

Naturally, having a house full of children and grandchildren couldn't be better. For an old man like Lao Zhu, this is probably the greatest sense of accomplishment.

Zhu Yunying also opened his mouth slowly at this time, and said to Old Zhu, "Grandfather, today the world is flat, and there are many places in our Ming Dynasty that lack capable ministers and officials. My grandson is also thinking, our clan Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, all Excellence. Why don't you select talents from the clan's family and grant them official positions?"

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, we think this is okay."

Zhu Yunying really didn't want the clan to be enfeoffed, and didn't like the clan to hold military power in the local area.But for the clan, even if Zhu Yunying was on guard, he wouldn't be on guard everywhere, or in other words, he wouldn't be on guard against everything.

Raising the clan as pigs is out of the question.Throughout the dynasties, there has been no such example.

Lao Zhu would not object to this, he actually had a plan long ago. Among the clan, Lao Zhu stipulated that the prince of Fanjun should be able to be appointed in both civil and martial arts. For official positions, the promotion and transfer are as usual.

It seems that they are the same as ordinary officials, except that the clan's official crimes are still dealt with by the clan's government.If the crime is light, the crime will be reduced to a lower level, and if it is serious, it will be dismissed as a commoner, but rewards and punishments will be made clear, and criminal responsibility will not be added.

That is to say, it is normal for other officials to behead and exterminate their families when they commit crimes.But if the clan official committed a crime, it was "three cups of self-punishment".

Many clans felt excited at this moment, the princes actually didn't need to say much, their positions were noble, basically they would not be easily released from Ying Tian Mansion, and it was unlikely that they would be allowed to take up official positions.

Even including some county kings, they can be regarded as high positions and weights, at least in name.It's not good to let them go out.But those heirs of the county kings want to go out and become officials, this is definitely possible.

Not every clan wants to visit mountains and rivers, eat, drink and have fun, especially those below the son of the county king, who basically have to be downgraded.

While drinking, Zhu Yunying whispered, "Grandpa Huang, among our cousins, there are quite a few talents."

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, quite proudly, "Our son, after all, has some promise."

"It's the emperor's grandfather. The matter of degrading that we talked about before should be settled." Zhu Yunying said slowly, "Gentleman Zhize was killed in the fifth generation, and our Ming Dynasty is still a lieutenant of Fengguo even in the sixth generation." , enjoying the support of the court, this is not good."

Old Zhu was silent, and he actually knew what his grandson was thinking.

Zhu Yunying continued, "Besides, even if we are the county king of Daming, Grandpa Huang also said that we have many more county kings in Daming now! This is not very good, the position of prince is hereditary, and the county king is not hereditary anymore. Great."

Old Zhu's sons are all princes. Now in the Ming Dynasty, apart from the old nine Zhu Qi and the young 26 Zhu Nan who didn't grow up, and the current old eight Zhu Zi who self-immolated and childless led to the expulsion of the country, Daming is now There are 22 princes.

The prince's direct son inherits the prince, and the rest of the children are county kings, which looks bad to Zhu Yunying.

Old Zhu nodded silently. He had considered this matter for a long time, "We knew that you had promised your brothers to be officials. I'm afraid you didn't have any good intentions! The prince and concubine are all generals of the country, okay?"

Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile, and said to Lao Zhu, "We don't have other thoughts, but we have too many princes and county kings in Daming, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for the court to support them in the future. If there are more Liu Sheng, our county kings in Daming will be more difficult." It’s all over the world.”

Beheaded by the sixth generation, there will be no Lieutenants of Fengguo in the Ming Dynasty everywhere.As for the fact that the ground is full of county kings, it can be regarded as being contained.

After all, Zhu Yunying is not the 'Great Ancestor', and it is not easy for him to do some things directly, and Lao Zhu still needs to do it himself.

Looking at the children and grandchildren, Zhu Yunying said, "You, you will not let our children and grandchildren live too well. You are also cruel, your father's heirs, in the future, your heirs may be ordinary people in a few generations. "

"At that time, our clan of the Ming Dynasty will already be all over the world." Zhu Yunying took some food for Lao Zhu and said, "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and it is impossible for the grandson to take care of everyone. Most people live a happy life. It’s good if it’s not bad, as long as our country is stable. Besides, it’s really the sixth generation grandchildren, if they are given a clan status and they are not allowed to do more things, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult.”

Lao Zhu frowned and said, "We didn't stop him from doing things."

"It's just that the service is so high now, who still has the heart to do things?" Pointing to Zhu Yunxie who was eating and drinking, Zhu Yunying said, "Look at that little bastard, do you believe it or not? Dude."

Lao Zhu was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed, "We are considered a generation of outstanding people, and your father is also wise and wise. Few of you can worry about these boys! We are counting on you and Yin'er now. , It’s okay for the second son and the bastard to be incompetent, but the eldest son has to be promising, otherwise we won’t be at ease when we die.”

"Just talk about that bastard, who eats, drinks and plays like that, can he teach promising children?" Zhu Yunying laughed, and said angrily, "Sang's going to give birth in a few days, when the child is older, let's ask people to give birth." Upbringing. Those two, we can't see enough!"

Old Zhu chuckled, for Zhu Yunxi, he was actually not at ease.Although I really like this 'rogue' grandson, it's just that it's Aiwujiwu, and I think it's good to have a little rogue in front of me.

From a rational point of view, such a rogue prince is absolutely not beneficial to the country of Daming.

Zhu Yunying is in a good mood, and some things are still somewhat effective.

When he was less than ten years old, he mentioned the clan affairs with Lao Zhu.But at that time, Lao Zhu was very resistant to those things, and Lao Zhu was quite unhappy about reducing the treatment of the clan.

It's just that over the years, Lao Zhu has indeed slowly realized something.It was not just that Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu were tormenting Lao Zhu, but also because Lao Zhu realized that his heart had softened for a while, and he was really good to the clan, but it was really not good to Da Ming.

This is also the reason why Lao Zhu took the initiative to reduce the treatment of the clan once before he abdicated.

Lao Zhu really cared about his offspring and wanted to treat his offspring generously.But in these years, Lao Zhu has also realized that his descendants also have the lives of his descendants, and he cannot arrange everything well.

So doing these things now, although Lao Zhu still feels a little unhappy.It's just that he has to do well now. For the talented and bold old Zhu, he can make up his mind a little bit when he gets tough.

Zhu Yunying was very happy, and said to Lao Zhu, "Don't worry, grandpa, the clan is one of the foundations of our great Ming. We value martial arts and support civil servants, and we will not forget our clan. They naturally have a way out."

Old Zhu laughed, looked at Zhu Yunying and said seriously, "We believe it! Our grandson misses our Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations more than anyone else, and misses our Great Ming Dynasty Wushuang more than anyone else!"
