Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 501 Internal Solution
Zhu Su is not the eldest among Lao Zhu's surviving sons, there is also the fourth Zhu Di.

But now in the territory of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Wei is the oldest.Even the fourth Zhu Di, he is naturally in the imperial clan, but he also has his own foundation in Dongying after all.

Even if he had to surrender to Daming, this was still a monarch, a king, and he had his own foundation.Even if it is a barren land in the eyes of some people, compared with the vassal king who was sitting in Beiping back then, the power in his hand is not known to be much greater. This is the emperor of the earth, and he is no longer 'subject to others'.

Because of Zhu Di's future, Zhu Xi, the fifth son, is now the most valuable among the princes of Ming Dynasty.Even if it seems that Zhu Yunxi is such a wonderful thing, everyone knows that Zhu Yun's status is actually more valuable.

As the patriarchal order, Zhu Wei has a serious expression, and he will not be polite to his incompetent younger brothers or nephews.

Sitting on the chair, Zhu Wei had a serious expression, "Zhu Shangbing, do you know why I asked you to come here today?"

Zhu Shangbing was quite confident, so he said with a smile, "Uncle Wu Wang, my nephew doesn't know."

"Do you know why your mother and concubine were given death?" Zhu Wei asked directly, not used to Zhu Shangbing.

For a moment, Zhu Shangbing's expression was not good-looking. He was the eldest son of Zhu Xi, but not the eldest son, because Zhu Xi's first wife was a Mongolian Guanyin slave.And Zhu Shangbing's mother was the second concubine Zhu Xi. Although she was Deng Yu's daughter, she was still gifted to death by Lao Zhu.

Zhu Wei continued, "Originally, we don't want to talk about the matter of the second brother. Why did the father only give 'min' when the second brother passed away?"

What is min, in simple terms, it means death with more than guilt and bad morals.

Lao Zhu is sad, but he is also extremely distressed about some of the actions of his second son.Therefore, Lao Zhu was fairly fair when he made a final decision on Qin Wang Zhu's coffin.

"You and King Jin, did you have a lot of complaints at the banquet?" Zhu Wei didn't care about Zhu Shangbing's ugly face, and asked directly, "Come back to me when you think about it, your sixth uncle and I are here, and King Wu is also here." Sit down here. After thinking about it, we have to write it down, all of which are for His Majesty to review!"

Zhu Shangbing broke out in a cold sweat. He seemed to know why he was "interrogated" with great fanfare this time. This is the trial.

Even if it seems to be relatively decent, there are no shackles and padlocks, and there are no officials to escort them, etc.It's just that all of this now is actually a trial, at most it's just giving him dignity, and he's not being treated as a sinner now.

Seeing that Zhu Shangbing lowered his head and dared not speak, Zhu Wei continued, "There are some things that we don't want to talk about. Come back to me after you think about it. You know what you have done, and everyone else knows it too." .You are not stupid, and others are not easy to fool you."

If Zhu Shangbing said he was not afraid, he would be lying, even though he was the prince, the famous King of Qin.

But Zhu Shangbing, who grew up in Yingtian Mansion when he was a child, knew better that he and the other brothers were also the grandsons of Grandpa Huang, so it would be difficult for him and the other brothers to meet Grandpa Huang once.As for that cousin of theirs, he would meet him whenever he wanted to see Grandpa Huang, and even Grandpa Huang couldn't do without that cousin, whose status couldn't be compared to those of them tied together.

Just like his father, he is the dignified King Qin.But so what, the uncle is the prince, a stable crown prince.

These princes and sons can only study in Dabentang, and they seem to be taught by relatively powerful scholars and Hanlin.But the cousin, it was taught by the uncle and the grandfather himself.These sons or princes are usually tired of studying, so they might be punished.But as for that cousin, it’s okay if he can’t go to Dahondo several times a month.

The most important thing is not to mention these brothers of the same generation, even the younger sons of the emperor's grandfather, how many of them were not the emperor's grandson who took the school exams from time to time? !
At most, the grandson of the emperor did not miss the palms of several brothers at that time.And those emperor uncles are basically handed over to the emperor's grandpa or the prince for punishment, and they are still inferior in the end.

Zhu Yunxie also said at this time, "King Qin, you are two years younger than us. As a brother, we should say what should be said. If it is just nonsense after drinking, if there is no conspiracy, it is just a warning. If it is still at this time If you dare to hide it, it will be hard to tell when we find out."

Zhu Shangbing had a miserable expression, and said pitifully, "Brother Wu Wang, no matter how bold we are, we dare not seek rebellion."

"Don't dare to seek rebellion, so be honest." Zhu Wei said directly, "Tell me, what did you say to King Jin?"

Zhu Shangbing naturally understood, it seemed that he had some grievances with Zhu Jixuan after drinking, and the emperor knew about it.It's just that their grievances can be serious in nature, or they can be fooled, it depends on what the emperor thinks.

Zhu Shangbing thought for a while, and then said, "Uncle Wu, brother Jin and I are just talking nonsense after drinking. Both of us were in the fief in the early years. Although we didn't do anything in the fief, we just felt that we were more comfortable in the fief. , in Yingtianfu, it is not as interesting as in the feudal domain."

Zhu Wei is also very vocal about this. He doesn't seem to care much about the vassal king, and even feels that this status sometimes limits his freedom.But really speaking, Fan was freer when he was in Kaifeng than when he was in Yingtianfu.

Even if the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were not as powerful as some vassal kings in the Western Han Dynasty, they were still vassals anyway. The Emperor Tiangao was far away, and no one could control them in the local area, so it was nothing to do evil.

It's not like now, in Yingtian Mansion, they are just "rich and idle people", even the children of the clan can go to work in banks, municipal bureaus and other places.It's just that everyone knows those positions are relatively free.It is basically impossible for the children of the clan to really make any achievements in the officialdom. It is impossible for the emperor to let the clan really take power.

Zhu Lu looked at Zhu Shangbing and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how can you not know His Majesty's intentions?! You talk nonsense after drinking, I think you are confused! How about this, close the house for half a month, think carefully about what you have done What!"

Zhu Shangbing's expression changed, and he begged a little, "Uncle Wu, it's just a little complaint, we dare not complain!"

The meaning here is obvious, complaints are just a few complaints, and there is no need to go online.But resentment is different, that is, resentment and dissatisfaction with the emperor, and it is more serious and formal.

After glaring at Zhu Shangbing fiercely, Zhu Huan said, "It's just a closed mansion, not confinement! Now I know I'm afraid?!"

Zhu Shangbing seemed to start to chuckle at this moment. This was thinking behind closed doors, and it didn't seem like a big deal.If you think about it behind closed doors, this can be regarded as a small punishment and a big warning, and it is not that you have not experienced these since you were young.

If you want to talk about confinement, it is basically imprisoned in the Prince Qin's Mansion. At that time, the power, status, etc. of the prince will basically disappear along with it.It is not an exaggeration to say that once imprisoned, it is basically difficult to have a chance to be free again.

Seeing Zhu Shangbing's ecstasy, Zhu Wei said, "That's what we're talking about, you're going to be a Daoist, and your Majesty's will is required for how you deal with it."

Zhu Huan's meaning is also very obvious. On the side of the clan's mansion, everyone can naturally handle it lightly, punish small things and punish big ones.

It's just that if the emperor is not satisfied with such a punishment, maybe he will increase the punishment, which is not impossible.

Zhu Shangbing couldn't laugh anymore, and he also started to tremble with fear.In the final analysis, what kind of disposal will be in the end, he is not sure now, and it will depend on the attitude of the emperor in the end.

Even if he felt that the emperor should not punish him too severely for these things he did.It's just that no one can guarantee such a thing. After all, Zhu Shangbing and the others complained about the emperor, which is also true.If the emperor wants to make a fuss, it is not possible.

For the time being, Zhu Shangbing's treatment seems to be like this.Perhaps Zhu Shangbing was a little confused, but everyone else felt that what Zhu Shangbing did was actually not serious and could be dealt with lightly without severe punishment.

In the end, Zhu Shangbing was just complaining. If he was punished severely for this, it would appear that the emperor was a little narrow-minded.If that is the case, it is reasonable to say that the emperor treated the clan harshly.

Another person involved in this matter, Zhu Jixi, appeared. He was slightly older than Zhu Shangbing, and he was 25 years old, which means he was only one year younger than Emperor Yingshi.If you really want to say that you are ignorant, it must be false.

For Zhu Jixi, Zhu Huan was much stricter, probably because Zhu Jixi was an older brother.It is understandable that the elder brother brought his cousin Zhu Shangbing to commit crimes, and was severely reprimanded at this time.

Looking at Zhu Jixuan who bowed his head, Zhu Huan said, "If you are not happy, you can make an offer yourself, and we will help you to ask His Majesty. If you don't want the throne, I think King Zhaode is very happy."

Zhu Jixi raised his head suddenly, and he seemed to understand at this moment that this was really not a random disaster, it was "restlessness in the house".

Although he inherited the throne, his half-brother was also named the county king, which seems to be a separation.It's just that if his eldest son made a mistake and was stripped of his title, King Jin would definitely not be abolished, and it could only be inherited by other brothers.

Zhu Huan didn't mind telling Zhu Jixuan some news. If the brothers from King Jin's side make trouble, let them make trouble. As long as it's not too exaggerated, it's not a big problem, and everyone can understand it.

It's just that there is a younger brother who always wants to be replaced in the family, and a brother who keeps making troubles, that is the most uneasy.

If Zhu Jixi can handle Jin Wangfu well, everyone will probably be able to save some time.At least the bad ones were from King Jin's line, so the clan's mansion could save a lot of worry, and the emperor didn't have to be distracted by these bad things.

This isn't misfortune, it's simply that King Jin's line is restless!
