Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 341
Regarding the clan, Zhu Yunying's attitude can be said to have always been relatively clear.

When it's time to treat the clan favorably, Zhu Yunying will definitely treat them favorably.After all, they are all family members, not to mention that they can't just rely on martial arts or civil servants. The power of the clan also needs to be guaranteed, and the clan needs to have a certain amount of strength. This is the best balance.

But when it's time to be wary and restrict, Zhu Yunying will not be polite.After all, the clan has a special status. It can be said that many people seem to have the talent of "rebellion" in their bones, and they will indeed be dragged out by some ambitious people as a banner.

The balance here is easy to master if it is easy to master, and it is indeed not easy to control if it is not easy to master.

These obviously need to look at an emperor's wrist and power skills, and we need to look at whether an emperor has any vision.

Lao Zhu treats the imperial family well because of Lao Zhu's old farmer's thoughts in his bones, which is Lao Zhu's desire and emphasis on family affection.In history, Zhu Di raised another level while the old Zhu treated the clan well. It was because he was not in the right position, so he wanted to appease the clan.

But even so, Zhu Di was not less wary when he should be wary of the clan.It is said that the clan of the Ming Dynasty was raised as pigs, but in fact it started with Zhu Di.As for the clan during the Hongwu period, they still had enough power.

As for Zhu Yunqi in history, that guy believed in 'outsiders', and he was very cruel to attack the clan.So Zhu Yunzheng is benevolent, kind, lenient, etc., Zhu Yunying may not think that is the case.Even if he is the so-called dreaded clan, he actually has some indifference and selfishness in his bones.

This idealist would not be polite if forced to death or imprisoned.On the contrary, there are a lot of "false benevolence and false righteousness", which is also a manifestation of this guy's stupidity.Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Zhu Di to finally secure his position.

While drinking a little wine, I saw little Zhu running over holding Feng Lin's little hand.

Originally, Lao Zhu was quite happy to see his children and grandchildren gathered together.Seeing his great-grandson climbing from the imperial path to Danbi, Lao Zhu was also happy to see the success.It's just that little Feng Lin, Lao Zhu is not very happy.

Lao Zhu has an attitude towards the eldest son and other heirs.The patriarchal old Zhu has another attitude towards his son and daughter.As for the grandchildren and other grandchildren, they are completely different things.As for the granddaughter, this is a person with a foreign surname.The grandson Lao Zhu doesn't like much, let alone this is the great grandson.

"Uncle Emperor." Feng Lin ran up to Xiao Zhu, looked at him eagerly, and spoke timidly.

Zhu Yunying laughed, and hugged Xiao Feng Lin, "Let uncle see if our nephew has gained weight?"

Xiao Zhu, who was giggling next to him, suddenly became unhappy because his father actually hugged another child.This makes little Zhu unhappy, because little Zhu has never been a "generous" child, and sometimes his father hugs his sister, and little Zhu is not happy.

If it was her younger sister, Xiao Zhu would barely admit it.But if it was another child, Xiao Zhu would definitely be unhappy.

"Father." Little Zhu squeezed over and opened her little hands, "Father, I want to hug you too."

Old Zhu, who was watching the play next to him, suddenly became happy, and said, "Yin'er, your father is holding your cousin. Look, your cousin is still ahead, and he wants your father to hold him."

Zhu Yunying was very speechless, and complained angrily, "Grandfather, you don't want your grandson to be at ease, right? We are holding Lin'er now, and the prince is making trouble again. When we hold two boys, the others will probably be too." It's too bad."

Old Zhu was happy, and ignored Zhu Yunying, "Yin'er, where is your sister?"

"My sister is sleeping and won't play with us." Xiao Zhu leaned on Xiao Zhu's lap, puffing her cheeks and said, "Father, I can't walk."

Picking up the two boys one from the left and the other from the right, this time little Zhu was very happy.He triumphantly put his arms around Xiao Zhu's neck, proudly showing off his sovereignty to his little cousin.As for cousins ​​or uncles, Xiao Zhu couldn't care about them now.

Seeing all the little kids running around, Zhu Yunying couldn't help but laugh too. There are indeed more and more people in the clan.

There are many Qilins alone, the three boys of my aunt's family, Qi, Lin and Shouzu.My younger sister also has Qi and Lin as a pair, and the elder sister also has a Qi, and now there is another girl who is waiting for Zhu Yunying to give her a name.

Next, I plan to reduce the treatment of some clans, not to mention that the treatment of the prince will be reduced.The son-in-law, the county horse, and the like, all of them will also have their salaries reduced.

Lao Zhu is now willing to "strike" his own children and grandchildren, and Lao Zhu will definitely not be polite to his daughter, son-in-law or grandson.It would be good if one's own descendants were beheaded for the fifth generation, but it would be good if the daughter and son-in-law were beheaded for the third generation.

What's more, if you really want to count, the son-in-law and the princess can be regarded as the clan, but it is difficult for their children to enter the clan's mansion.

Zhu Yunying is very strict with the clan, and will not easily give the clan and relatives of the emperor the treatment.

For example, the queen's family, the imperial concubine's family, or the prince's concubine, princess, or son-in-law, which can barely be regarded as relatives of the emperor, but theoretically it is only one generation.Xu Da's family, Li Wenzhong's family, Tang He's family, and Mu Ying's and Guo Ying's families are no longer "relative families", and the royal relatives also need to be controlled.

After all, Lao Zhu has recognized his relatives, so the treatment is to keep up with it, which needs to be supported by the court of Ming Dynasty.

When it's time to be ruthless, Zhu Yunying will definitely be ruthless, there is no doubt about it.It’s just that there is a bottom line relatively speaking, he will try his best to take good care of his relatives, and will not do things that make relatives hurt and enemies happy.

However, Zhu Yunying is also very clear that even in a clan society like a feudal society, not everything is decided by him, the patriarch.If there are some 'unworthy descendants', or if there are some clans who break the law and discipline, this can be regarded as a very normal thing, nothing new and unexpected.

It's just that we need to pay a little attention to the clan in the future, so we can't let these people really be lawless.

Zhu Yunying has no objection to protecting the clan and granting some privileges to the clan.It's not just that Zhu Yunying can do it, it's the same in all dynasties.Hundreds of years later, almost some things will not change much, but it seems a little hidden.

Seeing that the clan is all there, the banquet seems to be coming to an end, and the wine is almost half drunk.

At this time, Lao Zhu slowly opened his mouth and said, "The emperor is like us, the most important relatives, I am afraid that the clan's children will not live well, and I am afraid that our descendants will suffer. We were born in bitter water, and we have suffered a lot. , we don’t want our descendants to be like us.”

When Lao Zhu opened his mouth, the lively banquet suddenly became quiet.Adults are sensible and naturally know the rules.The children who were still running wild just now are being detained by their parents one by one.

The Supreme Emperor really likes to see the lively scene full of children and grandchildren, but everyone also knows that once the Supreme Emperor says something serious, no one dares to be sloppy.Even if the Supreme Emperor abdicates, who would dare to underestimate the Supreme Emperor!The Taishanghuang's words still contain Tianxian, and the Taishanghuang is still the ruler of Ming Dynasty.

Although the new emperor has some prestige, he is still far from reaching the same level as the Supreme Emperor.In the eyes of some of Zhu Yunying's uncles, the prestige of this nephew is far inferior to that of their eldest brother, the crown prince. Everyone knows that.

After handing little Zhu to Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Yunying stood beside Old Zhu, this is his place.

Looking at his children and grandchildren, Lao Zhu said, "We have also read a lot of books these days, and many ministers told us about some things in the previous dynasty. We cut down the expenses of the clan before, and many people complained about us. It’s just that we want to say that even if we reduce the clan’s expenses, our Daming’s clan is still better off than the previous dynasty’s clan.”

This is also the truth, the clan of the Ming Dynasty was well treated, it can be said that it far surpassed the clan of all dynasties.

With a serious expression on his face, Lao Zhu continued, "The generous support we gave to the clan is enough for you to have a good life. Even if there are some unworthy descendants who only know how to eat, drink, play, and behave like dudes, it is enough for you to toss about. Let me say, you The bastard has never suffered. We and the emperor are not as luxurious as you can eat and drink, and we are not as luxurious as you!"

If it was in the court, it is estimated that a large number of people are busy pleading guilty, because this seems to be a bit 'punishing'.Or to put it this way, it obviously has some beating meaning, and it must be apologetic.

It's just that in today's occasion, this is not above the court, so naturally there is no need to rush to plead guilty.What's more, the clan's children also know that although the Supreme Emperor is too majestic, in many cases, he doesn't need to be so cautious.

Looking at these unworthy descendants, Old Zhu felt helpless, "Zhu Yunxi, if you hadn't troubled yourself a little bit, your brother would be much better off. What you got from us, your brother made up for you, isn't it counted? "

Zhu Yunxi immediately ran out obediently, knelt down and shouted, "Sun Chen, thank you, Your Majesty, Grandfather!"

Zhu Yunying couldn't see such a lazy guy.As for the other clans, they couldn't help being envious. The treatment of this king of Wu was not given to ordinary princes.That is to say, he is confident and enjoys the favor of two generations of emperors.

At this time, Lao Zhu continued, "Although Yunxi acts recklessly, he is lavish and doesn't know how to be frugal. We can see that if he doesn't make a living, his palace will probably be unable to make ends meet, and he will have no way to live."

Everyone was immediately interested, because the emperor's birthday banquet was not only about showing respect for the imperial power.I have heard some things to some extent, but there have been some rumors recently, especially from Wu Wang Zhu Yunxie.

It's about the clan, it's about the treatment of the clan, each of them will naturally be more serious, and there must be no sloppy!
