Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 48 Clan
What does it mean to be proud of being favored, Zhu Xiongying's behavior can be regarded as being proud of being favored.He drove straight in with his younger brothers and sisters, and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

This can also be regarded as Lao Zhu's "old double standard", and of course he also loves the other sons.Just for Daming's future, some thoughts can only be concealed, lest the other sons have thoughts that they shouldn't have.

Of course, the most important thing is Zhu Biao, the eldest son, who really satisfied Lao Zhu, so he naturally dotes on him extraordinarily.

When it comes to grandchildren, intergenerational relatives and the like will not be mentioned for the time being.The main reason is that this is the eldest grandson. According to Lao Zhu's meaning, it is naturally the eldest son.Lao Zhu still needs to learn from the chaos in the Tang Dynasty and some lessons from other dynasties.

To dote on Zhu Xiongying is to love Wujiwu, and naturally this eldest grandson has been very hasty and sensible since he was a child.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying with his younger siblings, Old Zhu said cheerfully, "Ying'er, are you teaching Yunxi a lesson again?"

"No." Zhu Xiongying went to the table to 'inspect' and was immediately amused, "Grandfather, what day is this, with so many delicious foods?"

The reason for saying this is mainly because the Ming Dynasty started to establish, and it is not easy to be too extravagant at this time.What's more, Lao Zhu was born in poverty, so he doesn't really care about eating and drinking, and it's normal to have a simple meal.If it weren't for special occasions and days, Lao Zhu basically wouldn't be big fish and big meat.

Old Zhu was not happy, and said angrily, "Ying'er, when did we cut you short of food and drink?"

This is true, Lao Zhu himself was frugal, and Empress Ma was also very thrifty when she was alive.But they are not stingy about eating and drinking for their children and grandchildren.Many concubines in the harem sometimes need to be female celebrities with Queen Ma, but they eat and drink well during pregnancy and confinement.

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "It's even a family banquet, don't stand still. Ying'er has to eat well, she will be busy in a while."

Zhu Xiongying immediately poured wine for Lao Zhu and Da Zhu, and then also poured a glass for himself.Glancing at Zhu Yunxi eagerly, Zhu Xiongying chose to ignore it, since children are too young to drink.

Old Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Yunxie is also ten years old, you can have a drink."

"Wait for another two years, and wait until he gets older." Zhu Xiongying is still very determined, this is a 'resistance order', "This kid likes to eat and drink, and last time I caught him drinking secretly. This kid, you have to be careful." on."

For Zhu Xiongying's words, Lao Zhu obviously didn't agree.He can understand Zhu Xiongying's thoughts very well, just like Lao Zhu himself can criticize his children.But if others want to say it, then it won’t work.He can severely reprimand the shortcomings of his children and grandchildren, but more, he still protects them.

If a child makes a mistake, it is someone else who made the mistake first, and the blame falls on others.

The second son Zhu Xi doted on his second concubine Deng, and he and his second concubine tortured the palace people for fun.Although he was reprimanded by Lao Zhu as 'ignorant of human affairs, stupid as a beast', it was Deng who died.

Princess Tang of Lu Wang Zhu Tan was obsessed with the words of Taoist priests in the Jianghu. She burned incense and chanted scriptures all day long, and burned elixir in order to seek the medicine of immortality.In order to live forever, some boys were captured and castrated.The one who died was naturally Tang Shi, even though she was Tang He's daughter.

This is a family banquet, and the atmosphere looks quite good, Lao Zhu thinks this can be regarded as family happiness.

But at this time, the workaholic Lao Zhu also talked about some things.It's the end of the year, and there are many things to do.

All kinds of sacrifices are indispensable, especially to worship ancestors, and to go to the Taimiao to worship, followed by the congratulations of all officials.After such a congratulatory celebration, it is natural that the civil and military officials and the envoys of the vassal state will give a banquet.

For the emperor, this time is definitely not idle. Zhu Biao, the crown prince, and Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor, naturally have no way to be lazy on such an important occasion, and many people are watching their every move.

For Zhu Xiongying, some sacrifices and celebrations this year have different meanings.

In the past, as the prince's son and grandson, Zhu Xiongying more often participated in some sacrifices, especially the sacrifices in Fengxian Hall.It's just that at that time, even though many people knew that the emperor favored the grandson, it was just that there was no official canonization.

But it's different now, this is the 'second heir' after the crown prince.Now it is naturally justifiable, and the civil and military officials at this time naturally have different feelings, and naturally need to be taken seriously.

After all, I just heard some things before, and I'm not sure yet.But now it can be confirmed that His Majesty the emperor's attitude of establishing the heir is extremely firm, which naturally includes that the emperor's grandson is really favored.

Especially since the founding of the Ming Dynasty more than [-] years ago, the rules are becoming more and more formal. The current Ming Dynasty is not what it was when the country was first founded.At this time, many people really felt the difference between Emperor Zhu and Marshal Zhu.

Lao Zhu is naturally happy. Now that his favorite son and grandson are in front of him, this is also a real moment for him to relax.

As for the next thing, of course, many harem concubines, princes and grandchildren will gather together. This is also a family feast, but there are so many people at this time.

Forget about the vassal kings who are already in the vassal state, the princes and grandsons who are still in Yingtian Mansion will naturally be in the palace.Of course Zhu didn't come, Zhu Xiongying's 24th and 25th uncles are not yet one year old,

"I've seen the emperor's uncle." Zhu Xiongying's seniority is low, and at this time, he can only pay respects, and keep paying respects.

Concubine Li Xian smiled and said to Zhu Gong, "Your Majesty, this is the grandson of the Emperor, you should return the courtesy."

The two-year-old Zhu Kuan said in a childish voice, "The grandson of the emperor, please excuse me."

After saying this, he plunged into the arms of his mother and concubine. The two-year-old kid was a little 'stage fright'. It is not easy to see so many people, or so many people with the same status as him are not so many.Ordinary people, which one is not coaxing him.

But it's different now, many people just ignore him, and his mother and concubine seem to keep trying to please some other people
Looking at these imperial uncles, Zhu Xiongying has a big head, and there is no fuel-efficient lamp among these imperial uncles.It's not that the vassal king is not the vassal king, the main reason is that many people here are rampant.

Among the vassal kings who are already in the vassal state, there is not a fuel-efficient lamp, let alone a virtuous king or something, thank God that these vassal kings don't mess around.

This summer, eight of them had already 'visited' among the vassals.Of course, this meeting was a little watery. At that time, Qin Wang Zhu Xi was imprisoned in the imperial city, and Yan Wang Zhu Di was also trapped in Yingtian Mansion.

The old third king of Jin didn't say much, he was very wise and cruel.The old fifth Zhou Wang Zhu Wei is not bad, studious and good at Ci Fu.The sixth king of Chu likes to fight.The old seventh king of Qi, Zhu Yu, who also likes to fight, counts Lishang, who is proud of his martial arts, violent and lawless.Zhu Zi, the old Batan king, was quick-witted, eager to learn, good at writing, and often summoned Confucian officials in the mansion to have banquets.

Lao Zhu can be regarded as relatively strict with his princes, but these sons of his are queens and generally let themselves go.These vassal kings of Ming Dynasty are the group of people who least know how to abide by the law.

Because their father protected their shortcomings, because their brother was willing to protect their crown prince.

For example, the third king of Qin, who used a dragon bed and made a phoenix robe privately, can be regarded as ironclad evidence of rebellion in this era, and Zhu Biao also tried his best to protect it.Of course, this is also the reason why Lao Zhu held the board high and did not fall down lightly.

If you become emperor in the future, these emperor uncles will be very difficult, and it will be a difficult problem for them to deal with.

Of course, it's not good to learn from Zhu Yunqi, that guy doesn't look like a Confucian emperor on the surface.But his move to cut down the vassal was to force these uncles to death. At this time, there is no family affection, benevolence and filial piety.

Because of the existence of Lao Zhu, and because of the existence of Zhu Biao, he naturally looks like a happy and respectful brother and friend.At this time, even if some princes have some ideas, they dare not reveal anything.

Of course, their idea was to go to the fief to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy themselves, rather than rebellion or the like.

These people, it is reckoned that Lao Zhu and Da Zhu can control them, but it will be difficult for Zhu Xiongying, a nephew, to control these people.After all, in this day and age, seniority and close relatives are the norm.

In this era, family patriarchal clan, feudal ethics, etc. are still mainstream, at least on the surface.These emperors and rulers are not free to deal with their clans.
