Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 399

Regarding some changes and adjustments to the three major battalions, this is an out-and-out major event.To put it simply, this is the adjustment of the elite troops defending the capital, and the more complicated thing is related to the adjustment and change of the entire Ming Dynasty's ordnance and tactics.

Naturally, these matters need to be paid more attention to. Not only Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu care about it, Wu Xun also attaches great importance to this matter.

The bond between Wu Xun and the royal family is too deep. The current situation is that there are some changes in the three camps, which are also closely related to Wu Xun's interests.The three battalions have always been in the hands of Xungui, and it is Wu Xun who is absolutely trusted by the royal family to control the three battalions.

After Wu Xun left, Lao Zhu asked with a smile, "Ying'er, your Engineering College has accomplished a lot over the years, right?"

"It's really like this. I have done a lot of things, big and small." Zhu Yunying was very happy and proud. "The emperor also knows about firearms. In fact, it's not just armaments and gunpowder. Looms, coal stoves, etc. What's the matter, there are many big and small ones made. A few days ago, we asked people to make down jackets, and it seemed to be a little bit of a sign."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "Down jacket, what is that?"

"Didn't we consider the bitter cold in the border areas? Although there are cotton clothes and quilts now, they are still not enough." Zhu Yunying explained with a smile, "The grandson just watches ducks and geese go into the water in winter, and they are not afraid of the cold. Big guy Everyone likes animal skins, so let's use duck down, put it in the quilt, put it in the clothes, it must be able to keep warm."

Old Zhu sneered and said, "You bastard, you're always thinking of crooked ways. We don't want you to be the emperor. We'll let you be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Can duck down keep you warm? Then let's say, it's better to use catkins. !"

Lao Zhu was clearly teasing this. Catkins are actually some poor people who have nothing to do, and they will sandwich them in rags and straw to keep warm.But willow catkins really can't keep warm, and it's also very impractical.

Zhu Yunying didn't admit defeat, and said, "Actually, my grandson let people do this two years ago, but it's not very good. My grandson still has some confidence, and those people will definitely be able to do it. Our quilts are getting more and more popular now. The better the down jacket, the better it will be.”

Cotton quilts are not a simple matter, and it is not easy to grow cotton on a large area, weave cloth, etc.So now the Ming Dynasty is still working hard to further tap the potential of cotton. I dare not even say that the frontier soldiers in the north have cotton clothes and quilts issued by the court, and ordinary people’s homes are not like every household has cotton quilts to keep out the cold. .

The grandpa and grandson walked and chatted with a smile, and couldn't help but laugh as soon as they arrived in the harem, because the queen was walking around with the crown prince and others.

Seeing the two generations of emperors coming, Xu Miaoqing naturally hurriedly brought people over to salute.This time, visiting the 'Royal Garden' with her, there are also several concubines of Lao Zhu, as well as Lao Zhu's princes and princesses who are not yet grown up.

So Lao Zhu is amazing. He has more than 40 children. When he was 65 years old, he had two daughters.

Princess Ruyang and Princess Baoqing greeted Lao Zhu obediently. These two 'princesses' were about the same age as Xiao Zhu.Now one is six years old and the other is five years old, but they are both Zhu Yunying's aunts.

This is in the palace, Zhu Yunying can't pretend to be the emperor, "My nephew has seen the emperor's aunt."

Princess Ruyang and Princess Baoqing were a little shy, but they were actually playmates with little Zhu, and they also knew Zhu Yunying.But they all knew that their nephew was the emperor, and their mother and concubine often told them to be obedient in front of the emperor and the prince.

"Father!" Zhu Ruyi, who was held by Lian Qiongqiong's little hand, immediately shouted in a childish voice, she was very happy.

Zhu Yunying was also very happy, and clapped her hands, "Ruyi, come to Dad."

Little Zhu, who was hitting the fish with a small stone, turned around suddenly, and ran over with a fat face.

Just as Zhu Yunying picked up Zhu Ruyi, little Zhu ran over, "Father, I want to hug too!"

"Go find your great-grandfather!" Zhu Yunying gently pushed Xiao Zhu with her thigh in disgust, and said, "You are so heavy, we can't lift you up."

Little Zhu refused to follow her, and was making noise while hugging Zhu Yunying's thigh, "Two days ago, we could be hugged, but now we can't?! We don't want to be hugged by our grandpa, we want to be hugged by our father!"

Zhu Yunying had no choice but to bend down and hug her, "If you want me to tell you, you are spoiled by your great-grandfather. You are so old, and you still want us to hug you! Tell me yourself, are you shy!"

Little Zhu didn't care, put his arms around Zhu Yunying's neck and asked, "My sister calls you father, why can't my son?!"

Well, it's not just the daughter who acts like a baby and is jealous, but the son is also the same.

"At that time your sister was young and couldn't speak." Zhu Yunying could only fool around and said, "It's easier to call Dad, and my sister is easy to learn to talk. You are our prince, so you have to behave well, and you are smart."

Little Zhu was happy at first, because he was smart.But now he is also very entangled, he also wants to call Dad.

Looking at Zhu Yunying who was holding his children on one side and the other on the right, Lao Zhu smiled happily.As for his two daughters who were watching eagerly, Lao Zhu actually ignored them intentionally or unintentionally.Although the two youngest daughters are Jingui, there is no eldest grandson Jingui or great-grandson Jingui.

Old Zhu came over and said to Zhu Yunying, "If you want us to tell you, you are biased! Our Yin'er is a prince, and he must have what others don't have. If others have it, he must have it! We have always known that you like your daughter, and you must have it! It shouldn't be like this."

Lian Qiongqiong trembled slightly, because she felt that the emperor was criticizing the emperor.Maybe in the Supreme Emperor's heart, she, the imperial concubine, was bewitching the emperor, making him partial and so on.

Zhu Yunying hugged the two heavy children, and said helplessly, "Grandfather, no matter how biased we are, can we surpass this little thing? How well-behaved we were before, and behaved well in front of our father. This child will not be able to do it all day long. Get mad at us!"

Old Zhu laughed and said, "This is also the reason. Raising a son will give you some anger from time to time. Your father is not bad, and he didn't make us suffer too much. Even if you don't want to boast, let us say that you are not a person. Don't worry, your father is very angry with you."

"How filial we are, I urged you to abdicate a long time ago and let our father ascend the throne." Handing little Zhu to Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying said with a rascal face, "Why did our father like us the most at that time? He just knew that father and son were soldiers in battle. , we are both staring at the dragon chair!"

Other people may be terrified when they hear such rebellious words, such as Princess Ruyang's mother concubine Guo Huifei and Princess Baoqing's mother concubine Zhang Meiren.But Xu Miaoqing just listened with a smile on her side, and even more outrageous words, her husband often said in front of the emperor's grandfather, and he never saw the emperor's grandfather get angry.

Old Zhu glared at Zhu Yunying, then looked at Xu Miaoqing and asked, "Daughter-in-law, why do you want to go out for a stroll today?"

Xu Miaoqing immediately replied, "Grandpa Huang, Yin'er said he would come here for a walk after morning class. My daughter-in-law felt that it would not be lively for Yin'er to come here alone, so she invited the aunts together."

"That's the reason. He is the prince of Ming Dynasty, and he will be in charge of the clan from now on." Old Zhu looked at Xiao Zhu dotingly, and said, "You have to walk around more with the clan, and break the bones and tendons!"

Zhu Yunying gently fiddled with Zhu Ruyi's pink face with her small hands, the baby's fat little face was very playful.As for what Old Zhu said, Zhu Yunying felt that it was what Old Zhu said to Xu Miaoqing, and also to him and little Zhu.

"Grandson's daughter-in-law will pass on the meal later." Xu Miaoqing would also express it, and said immediately, "If Grandpa and His Majesty don't need to deal with official duties, then let's eat here."

Lao Zhu took advantage of the situation and agreed. It's one thing to have a lot of people.When I get older, I am really afraid of being alone.Let's not talk about the grandson and great-grandson who are in front of me now. Although I don't pay much attention to the two youngest daughters, they are still my daughters anyway, so let's eat together.

Little Zhu couldn't stay idle, dragged Lao Zhu and ran away, intending to harm the fish in the pond.

Wang Shi felt a little wronged, and she stood behind holding Zhu Wenqi in her arms.Some time ago, she said something intentionally or unintentionally to make the emperor unhappy. The emperor didn't go to her bedroom these days, and he didn't even come to see the second prince.

This time, if it wasn't for the Queen's benevolence, maybe she wouldn't be able to follow her to the Imperial Garden for a stroll.

Zhu Yunying beat Wang's intentionally or unintentionally, but Lao Zhu only had his great-grandson in his eyes, so Zhu Wenqi naturally didn't bother to hug her.If it is normal, Lao Zhu may still come to see Xiao Zhu's second son.But now, Lao Zhu thinks that Mrs. Wang is too stupid to give this stupid woman any thought, so as not to disturb her grandson's house.

There is a lesson to be learned, the old Zhu used to be 'soft-hearted' and couldn't bear to embarrass his eldest son, so he turned a blind eye to Lu's ridiculous little schemes.Now, don't give this Wang family any thought, don't think that giving birth to a prince for the emperor can fly on a branch and become a phoenix, a house sparrow is a house sparrow!

It's right to hit Wang a little bit, but Zhu Yunying only needs a little hit.Not for any other reason, but mainly because of the face of his second son Zhu Wenjin, this is Zhu Yunying's second son after all!
After teasing Zhu Wenjin who was in her swaddling baby, Zhu Yunying was speechless.This child is not caring, he actually pulled it.

Seeing Zhu Yunying's dumbfounded look, Xu Miaoqing walked over with a smile, "Your Majesty, the second prince doesn't know what's going on. When the prince was so old, he didn't just pee."

Look, the queen is so graceful and luxurious, with such a grandeur.As for Mrs. Wang, just listen and watch obediently by the side.

Old Zhu came over at this time and looked at Zhu Wenjin, "This kid looks quite similar to our emperor, both have a pointed chin, and he looks a little more delicate. Or our prince's appearance is from our old Zhu's family, and he looks grand. ,majesty."

Zhu Yunying raised her head and looked at Lao Zhu, who had a Chinese character face that was "handed down" by Lao Zhu's family, which was what Lao Zhu thought was the best face.In other words, as long as Lao Zhu is willing, the Chinese character face is the best.
