Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 509 Qualified Crown Prince

It is never a trivial matter to rectify the administration of officials. Zhu Yunying is very serious about this matter, which is also normal.This is not just something Zhu Yunying would do, he just paid more attention to rectifying the administration of officials again.

Old Zhu, who was far away in his hometown in Fengyang, was wandering around with his precious great-grandson. If it weren't for the old master Zhu and young master Zhu dressed in brocade robes, and the faint presence of some strong men guarding them, they would have It's easy to think that this is Lao Zhu returning to his old job and starting a life of wandering around.

Looking at the mansion newspaper at the gate of the city, Xiao Xiaozhu was very happy, "My father, he has been sent down again."

Old Zhu nodded in relief, and said to Little Zhu, "That's good, I think your father is too soft-hearted sometimes. After all, he has never been to the battlefield, so he can't see blood. We will reward him with money, high officials and rich salary , bestow titles, that’s fine. As long as you break the law, you should be killed, don’t be lenient.”

Little Zhu immediately spoke up, very resolutely, "Drink the golden cup with you, and you will not be spared!"

Old Zhu laughed out loud, this is what he said when he and Ru Taisu had dinner together.On the scene, he will drink and chat with you, and he will not be soft when he kills you.

Lao Zhu touched Xiao Zhu's head and said, "Remember, you will be the emperor in the future. Sometimes, don't be soft-hearted. We know that we killed some people in vain, but we just don't like it." Luo Ren, then we have to kill! Why, just because we want to govern the world well, we can't let those people hinder us!"

Little Zhu nodded solemnly, and said, "Our father also said that there is no fairness, no right or wrong, just what should be done!"

"Your father is good at this, and understands the truth." Old Zhu said helplessly, "It's just that sometimes he is a little soft-handed. If we let him down, how can Zhang Wen be exiled, we will definitely punish him!"

Little Zhu was upset, and grabbed Lao Zhu's arm and said, "Great-grandfather, our father is the emperor now. If you are unhappy, you can only bear it. If you refute our father's will, our father's face is not good. It's not easy to convince the public."

Lao Zhu was even happier, but he also complained, "Your father, your father?! You were brought up by us, and you are not caring for us, but caring for him?"

Little Zhu smiled and said, "In front of great-grandfather, we protect our father. In front of our father, we don't allow him to speak ill of great-grandfather. Our father is the worst, and he likes to make up great-grandfather. If we want to say it, great-grandfather will not You should trust him, you shouldn't let him be emperor so early."

"He's not the emperor, can you be the prince? At that time, we can take you out to play in the mountains and rivers?" Old Zhu laughed, but still looked at the mansion newspaper, "Your father is cruel this time, Lian Ruxi , Chang Mao have been cleaned up."

Little Zhu smiled and said, "If you want to come out to play, let him supervise the country, so there's no use passing on the throne. But then again, why did Kai Pinggong commit another crime? Great-grandfather, do you want us to intercede, and not let our father be punished by the gang?" The minister said."

Looking at the anxious little Zhu, Lao Zhu was still very happy.

In the neighboring dynasty, the Tian family can be said to be indifferent to family.But it's different in the Zhu family, at least the emperor and the prince don't have such a thing.

Old Zhu explained, "There's no need to punish Chang Mao. Your father didn't punish Chang Mao severely. He just made him think about his mistakes behind closed doors. After all, Chang Mao is the emperor's uncle. This person has an unusual status. I guess it wasn't your second uncle who instigated this matter." , he did it himself."

Seeing that little Zhu seemed a little confused, Old Zhu continued, "Kaiping Palace is the mother family of the emperor after all, and it has real power in its hands. If this kind of family is seeking fame and inviting people's hearts, then we should be more careful. Think Think of Sui Wen Yang Jian, think of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, who took away the son-in-law or insulted the orphans and widows, but there is no mercy."

Little Zhu nodded ignorantly, and suddenly asked, "Then if we become emperor, what will our uncle do? Our uncle can lead the army."

"Your uncle is very old, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive your father." Lao Zhu said with a smile, "If he was still there at that time, let him be honored. We prevented Tang He and Feng Sheng from going out to lead the army. It is because of their great achievements, and because of their private connection with other clans."

Little Zhu nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay, then we won't let uncles and them lead the army in the future, just right under our noses."

At this time, Shuangquan walked over cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent a letter from home again."

Little Zhu snatched it immediately, checked the seal and tore it open, "Bring a pen and ink, let's ask great-grandfather to write a letter, and we won't go back."

Old Zhu let his precious great-grandson toss about. In fact, seeing some behaviors of little Zhu, Old Zhu was very happy.This is what a qualified prince should look like. Even if you trust the people around you, you should be careful when you should be careful, and you should be on guard, so you must be on guard.

Immediately, someone brought a small table, a small stool, and naturally there was no shortage of pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Old Zhu sat down, looked at little Zhu who was grinding and asked, "You said not to go back, you can't say it, how do you want us to go back?"

Little Zhu didn't even think about it, and said, "Our father asked us to go back again, but our great-grandfather said that we should inspect the place and investigate the people's livelihood. Let us go back in a few more months, and we will go back when autumn comes."

Old Zhu laughed and said, "That's good, we're afraid we're going to stay in our hometown. We'll take you out, and you can help Ling go back when the time comes. After seeing Fengyang, do you still have to go to Luzhou Mansion, Runing Mansion, let's go to Henan Road again? Let's ask for a bowl, and you come to beg with us?"

Little Zhu smiled and looked very confident, "We will not be afraid if we follow our great-grandfather. When the great-grandfather goes to beg for food, let's take a stick."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and cursed angrily, "Both of you father and son know how to poke our lung tubes! When your great-grandmother was around, your father knew how to behave because of his young age. He always said that we were going to beg for food. He and you Great-grandmother is waiting for us to go back in the ruined temple."

"Our father also said that when the time comes, let our grandfather farm the land. There are many people in the family. When the great-grandfather is old, he can only beg for food. The grandfather will work the fields. Our great-grandmother and grandmother will spin at home and take our father with us." Xiao Zhu was grinning, this is called being confident, "Anyway, our father said, let us follow our great-grandfather, we will definitely not be hungry."

Old Zhu looked at little Zhu with undisguised anticipation in his eyes.If that's really possible, it doesn't matter if you don't become an emperor, you don't need this country, your wife and eldest son are both there, and it's fine to go out to beg for food and support them.

"Okay, follow us, we can't starve you and your father!" Lao Zhu began to write, and said, "Let's take you around again, your father has Su Hui who knows the sufferings of the people. Although you often walk around in Yingtian , and don’t know the prefectures, counties and townships of various places. If we don’t take you out, you are afraid that you don’t know the sufferings of the people, and you may not have this opportunity in the future.”

Xiao Zhu nodded solemnly, and stopped joking, "Our father said many times that we can't believe all the memorials, and we can't believe all the officials. Let us read more and think more, because we can't think fully and thoroughly. We have to look everywhere. Just look."

Lao Zhu is even more relieved, even if he is left halfway, it will be fine, as long as our great-grandson knows the truth of the people, it is better than anything else.As long as a qualified prince is cultivated, Lao Zhu will not feel bitter at all.

At this age, I am no longer afraid of death.He had abdicated a long time ago, and the emperor had already taken charge of the government.What I can do now is to take care of my great-grandson.It would be even better if he could train the prince well for the emperor.

Shuangquan had a bitter face, the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince, these two must not be offended, and no one can change their minds.

But the emperor in Beijing is not easy to deal with.The emperor would definitely not talk about the emperor and the prince, and then his valet would inevitably suffer. Who made his valet fail to persuade him.

The emperor doesn't care about whether he can persuade him or not, whether he has persuaded him, etc.Emperor Hongwu and Yingshi would do such things as venting anger on others, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would habitually withdraw and take care of himself, and the fault was others' fault.

Little Zhu watched Lao Zhu write letters, chattering endlessly, "Our father is now carrying out restructuring, we have to go and see if the land has been distributed to the people. We also need to see how to collect taxes. They say that little devils are difficult to deal with. We Let's see if the officials below dare to break the law."

Lao Zhu became more enthusiastic about writing letters. As long as his great-grandson has the ambition and wants to be an excellent prince, Lao Zhu feels that everything is worth it.

In fact, it seems to be a "revisiting the old place", but these places are basically Nanzhili, which is one of the most prosperous places in the Ming Dynasty.The most important thing is that this is also the main place where all the stalls are sold, and Xiao Zhu really wants to see it.

Old Zhu could tell the truth from the memorial, but little Zhu didn't have such ability, so he really wanted to see for himself.

As for whether there is any selfishness of the crown prince, such as taking the opportunity to travel around the mountains and rivers, that is another matter.

"Go as we do, and your second uncle should come over after a while. If your second uncle can't persuade us, it's your fifth prince who will come here." Old Zhu said cheerfully, "Your dad pouted, we You know what shit he's going to do. His little tricks have been the same way for so many years. Let's say, you and your father are as virtuous, so you know how to say nice things and do wicked things."

Little Zhu didn't take it seriously, and said, "Those who are thick-skinned and black-hearted are the ones who can be emperors. Our father also said that our great-grandfather was like this, and so was our grandfather. Anyway, we can rely on our young age, and all bad things can happen." What our great-grandfather and our father did, we are the best princes."

Lao Zhu is too familiar with this routine, it was like this before.

Old Zhu Lehe continued to write letters, saying, "If we scold him, he can stop for ten days and half a month. All we can do is to help you bear the infamy. You just make trouble, let's watch and protect you." Go!"

Little Zhu blew on the ink proudly, and said, "Shuangquan, send someone back to Beijing immediately."

Old Zhu took little Zhu by the hand and walked out of the city slowly. Old Zhu smiled and boarded the carriage that had been prepared.With the support of Shuang Quan, Xiao Zhu rode on the horse and led more than ten soldiers to run ahead.

Looking at little Zhu's back, Old Zhu laughed, "We were naughty when we were young, not as clever as Biaoer when he was young, and not as clever as Yinger when he was young. It's not bad, our old Zhu's family is thick-skinned and dark-hearted. The mind is also wild, the same!"
