Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 5 Filial Piety
After all, he felt sorry for his son. Seeing that Zhu Biao had finished handling the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Biaoer, we don't let you make a princess now, can you blame us?"

Zhu Biao stood up, and said respectfully, "Father, I know this well. The Chang family is new, and I have no intention of setting up a crown prince or concubine."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and then said, "You have also seen our "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", establish a long-term and establish a descendant."

"Father, Ying'er's name should also be changed." Zhu Biao remembered something, and said, "When Ying'er was born, Huang Ming's ancestors had written a book."

"Emperor Ming Zu Xun" is a classic compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang, the content is the admonition to future generations in order to consolidate Zhu Ming's imperial power.Originally named "Zu Xun Lu", it was compiled in the second year of Hongwu, completed in six years, and revised in nine years.

This also includes some requirements for naming the Zhu family.The Eastern Palace and the Prince's Throne each have [-] characters to name, and they are named according to the generation of characters.And it must be a double character, and the latter character must be a character with five elements as radicals, in the order of 'fire, earth, metal, water, and wood.

According to Zhu Xiongying's generation, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's request, it should be Zhu Yun X, and the 'X' must be next to the word fire.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "Forget Yinger, our ancestral precepts haven't been written yet."

"Father, sons and all the younger brothers are all named according to the precepts of the ancestors." Zhu Biao is serious. He is a Confucian disciple in the eyes of some people. If you can’t get off to a good start, how will the Great Ming Dynasty be passed on in the future?!”

Although he was contradicted by his son, Zhu Yuanzhang was still very happy.It is a fact that he prefers the eldest son and spoils the eldest grandson.But Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy to see that the eldest son who had high hopes was so sensible.

Thinking of something, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Is Yunxi okay?"

Zhu Yunxi, this is Zhu Xiongying's brother.Now he is raised by the concubine Lu's side.

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "Fortunately, Ying'er has to visit her younger siblings all day long. If you want Erchen to say, he is more caring than Erchen, I'm afraid Mrs. Lu will not be able to do her best."

While the father and son were still chatting, a young eunuch cautiously reported, "My lord, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is here."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, his eldest grandson usually would not come to Fengtian Hall.

"I think there must be something serious." Zhu Biao laughed and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "It is estimated that the queen mother refused to agree, so he came to beg the emperor father."

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he was overjoyed immediately, "Biaoer, go to deliver the decree, I want to see what's going on with him!"

Zhu Biao waved his hand, and the little eunuch immediately took a few steps back, then turned around, and went to invite His Royal Highness.

"I can walk by myself!" Zhu Xiongying got impatient and climbed up the high threshold, "I don't need your help!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at the little man with a smile as he climbed over the threshold of the main hall. Zhu Xiongying was sensible and reasonable. Although he came from a wealthy family, he didn't look like a dandy.

"Qi Zou His Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The villain lay down on the ground, and said in a childlike voice, "Sun Chen has this Qi Zou!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, but pretended to be majestic, "Oh, it's the grandson! Grandson, what are you playing?"

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth and immediately said, "Sun Chen heard that the imperial tomb was completed, and Sun Chen asked for an order to worship the mausoleum."

At this moment, both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned. No wonder the grandson wanted to come to Fengtian Hall. The queen really couldn't decide on such a matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at his son. You have been in charge of politics for so long, and you should deal with such things!
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Xiongying calmly and asked, "Ying'er, why are you going to worship the mausoleum?"

"Sun Chen is the eldest grandson of His Majesty the Emperor, so he should be enshrined in the mausoleum!" Zhu Xiongying said, as a matter of course, "Since Sun Chen is a descendant of the Zhu family, he should be enshrined in the mausoleum!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and hurriedly said, "Yinger, after a while, when you grow up, we will take you to the mausoleum."

Zhu Biao also said, "Ying'er, you are young now. When you grow up, you will naturally worship the mausoleum and ancestors."

"Yes, yes, right now, it's good to worship the ancestors in the Fengxian Hall." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly, "When you grow up, take your younger brothers to the mausoleum to make the ancestors happy. If you don't go now, the ancestors will be happy." happy."

Zhu Xiongying continued, "Grandfather, if the imperial mausoleum is completed, if Sun Chen doesn't go"

"If there is a prince to go, your father and your uncles can go." Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "Ying'er, you are in the imperial city, offering sacrifices to your ancestors in the Fengxian Hall!"

After finally sending Zhu Xiongying away, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Biao, "Biaoer, don't you teach our great-grandson the ways of Confucian scholars!"

Zhu Biao laughed and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Father, my son understands. My son learns Confucianism, but he is not a Confucian minister."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this answer, but he had some doubts immediately, "We still have to check to see if anyone is talking too much in front of our grandson!"

Zhu Xiongying walked slowly towards Kunning Palace, and there were no maids or eunuchs who wanted to hug and lead him, let alone talking about taking a sedan chair.

Generally, the distance is not far, and grandchildren walk by themselves.Even if it is a little farther away, Taisun still chooses to take a rest when he is tired from walking, basically he will not need help from others.

Zhu Xiongying had just returned to Kunning Palace when Empress Ma laughed, "Ying'er, did your imperial grandfather promise you?"

Seeing her eldest grandson shaking her head with a bitter face, Empress Ma smiled even more happily.This good grandson is sensible, intelligent, and very filial.With such a good grandson by her side, Empress Ma was very happy, and she was reluctant to let her eldest grandson go back to Fengyang's hometown to worship the mausoleum.

"Grandmother, tell your grandson about the past." Zhu Xiongying slowly sat down on the stool, and said to Empress Ma who was busy doing needlework.

Glancing at her eldest grandson, Empress Ma asked with a smile, "What do you want to know today? Do you want to hear about your grandpa's decision to go south, or to decide the world?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head, and then said, "Grandmother, where is Xinfengli? Sun Chen looked at the map yesterday, but couldn't find it!"

Empress Ma immediately became interested, and Xinfengli was her hometown.Although I have talked to my grandson many times, as long as my grandson mentioned these things, Empress Ma always took the trouble to say it again and again.

After having lunch with Queen Ma, Zhu Xiongying went to school again.It's not Song Lian, but he is also a famous Confucian master.

Zhu Xiongying who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and said with a small face, "If someone dares to tell the emperor what I did today, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Yu'er was taken aback for a moment, then said softly, "Grandson, empress"

"I don't want the emperor's grandmother to be happy in vain. I know it. You just need to know it. Don't tell the emperor's grandmother!" Zhu Xiongying was determined and ordered directly, "Whoever is in the military commander's mansion, come quickly!"

A guard hurried over. Although the grandson was young, they would not really carry out the order of the grandson immediately, but it did not affect their serious obedience. At most, they turned their heads and reported to the emperor and prince immediately.

After Mao Xiang heard the report, he hurried to Fengtian Hall immediately.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were stunned for a moment. This Mao Xiang has a great effect. If he comes here now, is there something important?
"Your Highness, Your Highness." Mao Xiang knelt down as soon as he entered the palace, "The grandson has just given an errand to a low-ranking officer, but it's only about His Royal Highness, the grandson, and the low-ranking officer dare not make decisions."

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, and then asked seriously, "Grandson? What is the purpose of the grandson?"

"Grandsun decreed that the humble officials should go to Xinfengli, Guide Mansion." Mao Xiang pressed his forehead to the ground, looking cautious.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were taken aback for a while, and then realized that it was the Queen's hometown.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and said to Zhu Biao, "Biao'er, grandson, why is this?"

"Ask him to come over and ask." Zhu Biao said to the little eunuch next to him with a serious expression, "Call everyone around the grandson, go quickly!"

Zhu Xiongying, who was still in class, received the imperial decree and immediately went to Fengtian Temple.

Is it easy for me to be a child? In order to please the queen and the emperor, I have to work so hard to perform these!
"Grandson, why are you going to Xinfengli to find someone?" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously with a straight face, "You know that your imperial grandmother had a decree that you are not allowed to find her people to be entrusted with titles!"

Zhu Xiongying was not afraid, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Even if it violates the decree, Sun Chen will go to find it! The emperor's grandmother is very happy every time she talks about her hometown, and she sheds tears and feels sad when she talks about her grandpa! When grandma scolds, the imperial grandmother is happy! As long as the imperial grandmother is happy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a stern face, "You don't care about your head and tail, your grandma must know about your fanfare! You really think that you are the only one who loves your grandma, and your grandpa doesn't know that you love your grandma! We also I've looked for it, but I can't find it!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Ying'er, as a father, he also sent people to look for the relatives of the mother and queen, but they couldn't find them."

"That's because the emperor's grandmother knew that you were going to find someone!" Zhu Xiongying said proudly, "I asked many times, and the emperor's grandmother was very detailed. I know where to find the emperor's mother's family."

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao looked at each other. In order to prevent foreign relatives from intervening in politics, the queen was really unwilling to grant rewards to the descendants, so there may be some things that the queen knows.

Could it be that this little thing in front of him really obtained important information from the Queen?

When the grandparents and grandchildren were discussing together, an eunuch sang, "His Royal Highness is here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately flipped through the memorial, and Zhu Biao hurriedly picked up the brush and was also reviewing the memorial.

It's over, I'm done!

Empress Ma was dressed in a court dress, extremely solemn and formal. She glanced at her husband who was pretending to be flipping through the memorial, her son who was peeking at her from time to time, and her grandson who was grabbing the memorial to cover his face. happiness.

"The emperor and the crown prince, it's against the law to assign titles and ranks to favor relatives' families, do you know that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang got up quickly and said, "I know, I know, sister, don't be angry!"

"Ying'er, at this time, you should go to school!" Looking at the fat grandson who was still pretending to read the memorial, Empress Ma was annoyed and funny, "Say, why are you here?"

Zhu Xiongying immediately reacted, and was extremely honest, "Grandmother, Grandpa issued an imperial decree, and my grandson obeyed the decree."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't agree, and let his grandson take the blame, "Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. It's just that I'm tired from studying. We feel sorry for my grandson and let him rest for a long time."

Ok?
There are those who cheat grandpas and grandchildren!

Zhu Biao had a heartbroken look on his face, "Mother's queen, son's minister"

"The grandson is still caring." Empress Ma hugged Zhu Xiongying, and said immediately, "But grandson, you remember. Your imperial grandfather is the son of the emperor, and your father is the heir of the Ming Dynasty! You are the grandson of this palace, and you are also Zhu Xiongying. Grandson Ming! No matter how caring you are, you must be ruthless! Remember the laws of the state!"
