Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 547
As far as Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu are concerned, they actually don't completely hate Confucianism.Seriously speaking, whether it is Lao Zhu or Xiao Zhu, there is still a lot of recognition for Confucianism.

Leaving aside Confucianism's far-reaching influence on Chinese civilization, the simple Confucian ethics and so on are actually beneficial to the rulers.This is also one of Lao Zhu's favorite places about the stereotyped selection of scholars, because Confucianism does contain a lot of thoughts of loyalty to the emperor.

It's just that even if you recognize these things, it doesn't mean that Lao Zhu fully accepts Confucian culture, especially for Confucian scholars who have experienced the Song Dynasty, Lao Zhu often looks down on him.The Confucian emperor that those people liked was considered weak in Lao Zhu's eyes, even if those scholar-bureaucrats wanted to weaken the imperial power.

Of course, Lao Zhu couldn't tolerate such a thing. In fact, not only Lao Zhu couldn't tolerate it, but Xiao Zhu definitely couldn't tolerate it either.

Who dares to arbitrarily bring private goods in Xiao Zhu's education, thinking of leading Xiao Xiao Zhu to Cheng 'Emperor Renzong', Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu will definitely become tough immediately.Don't talk about reading and teaching, even if they are from the Hanlin Academy, or even the level of the six ministers, they can dispose of them mercilessly.

To put it simply, even if anyone dares to delay the growth of the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, he will be the enemy of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi.

For these people, Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu would naturally not show mercy.It's just that there is no need to say some things in front of Xiao Zhu now, even if the child already knows some things now, he is still a 'child' after all.

It is obvious that some things are done directly in private, and Xiao Zhu may not even realize that some things have happened.

Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, and he was very happy about the arrival of his two cousins.

What is missing is how much the emperor cares about his cousins. The main thing is that Zhu Yunying himself doesn't know how many cousins ​​he has.Old Zhu can give birth, and Lao Zhu's sons are actually very good at giving birth.People like Da Zhu are not considered "excellent" among Lao Zhu's offspring, and Zhu Yunying, who includes three sons and one daughter, is not considered outstanding either.

The reason for being happy is actually very simple, simply because his overseas enfeoffment plan seems to be implemented quite well, and now he can see some results. This is the reason why Zhu Yunying feels the happiest.

This is not just a matter of the old Zhu family spreading its branches and leaves, it is also a key part of Jiangshan Sheji.

Little Zhu helped Lao Zhu to come, and shouted from a distance, "Father, great-grandfather and uncle Wang are here, and they are all happy today, can we also have a drink? It's really not possible, give us a little drink." Cups do too."

"Grandfather!" Zhu Yunying gritted his teeth and said to Old Zhu, "You are used to this!"

Old Zhu seemed to be a little short of breath, and little Zhu was a little 'greedy'. It seemed that Old Zhu was really used to it.In other words, Lao Zhu never expected that his education would be so successful.

To put it simply, when Little Zhu couldn't speak, Old Zhu couldn't bear Little Zhu.Sometimes I was reluctant to let go of the meal, and when I was in a good mood, I would dip some wine with the tip of the chopsticks and let Xiao Zhu lick it.

This turned out to be good, although Zhu Yunying didn't like little Zhu to drink, but this kid still came to have a small cup occasionally.And from the looks of it, it is very likely that there is a trend that the blue is better than the blue.

Old Zhu's family is the fourth generation so far, and it may be that Xiao Zhu has shown the most drinking potential.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan who were behind Lao Zhu didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Lao Zhu. Naturally, Lao Zhu did what he said, and they dared not object at all.But their cousin was lucky, not only dared to object, dared to speak loudly, but even dared to express dissatisfaction unabashedly.

"My brother Zhu Gaochi, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor."

"My brother Zhu Mengtan, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Yunying smiled and said, "Don't be too polite, we are all from our own family. Meng Dan doesn't meet us much, Gao Chi is not like that. We remember that you were studying in Yingtian Mansion in the early years, and we I also played with you less."

Although it is a little exaggerated, it is also true.Zhu Yunying had basically seen all those brothers back then.Especially Zhu Gaochi, the fat younger brother, Zhu Yunying was quite curious at the beginning, and indeed he was a little teased.

Lao Zhu sat down and looked around, "Where's your fifth uncle? Didn't you say he's coming, why hasn't he come yet, and we have to wait for him?"

"Grandpa Huang said, we should send someone to invite Uncle Wu earlier." Zhu Yunying said dumbfounded, "When we sent people to the Zhou Palace, it was said that Uncle Wu was hosting a banquet for the eldest son, and now it may be still in Xuanwu Lake Going boating. We should have thought about this, let Yunxi come over, he said he was going to go boating with Uncle Wu."

Lao Zhu immediately got angry, and said, "That incompetent Yunxie got mixed up with his fifth uncle all day long. Let's see, it's not a poetry meeting when they go boating, it's probably just a hug on the boat." Hug right. You have dealt with quite a few officials who prostituted themselves a few days ago, and these clans should also be taken care of."

"That's out of our control. Grandpa Huang didn't say that the clan should not have sex with prostitutes." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "We just want people to stare at us, and the blood of our old Zhu family can't mess around. After all these years, the people in our clan I know it too. It’s okay to have fun or something, and you can’t come back with an innocent child in your arms and want to get a jade certificate.”

Hearing Zhu Yunying's words, Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction. He naturally hoped that his descendants would continue to scatter branches and leaves.

It's just that this old superstitious old feudalist is quite resistant to many things. The status of the old Zhu's family is not ordinary, and children who are unclear cannot be brought back.The children and grandchildren ran to the amusement park to have fun, and Lao Zhu often pretended not to know.

But the things that can be cheated are those girls who are having fun, and none of them even think about being able to enter the prince's mansion or the county prince's mansion.Most of the time, Lao Zhu also very much approves of being well-matched.

"Uncle Wu is currently busy compiling "The Canon of Filial Piety", and we also know in our hearts that Uncle Wu likes these things the most." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "It's just that this is a big deal, and we think that there must be someone who is highly respected in the clan. I’m staring at the past. After much deliberation, it turns out that Uncle Wu compiled books before, and Uncle Shu Wang can also help.”

Lao Zhu stroked the tiger's beard with a smile. Although some of his descendants were ineffective, there were also some promising ones.

Needless to say, the five sons, the compilation of medical skills is really good.Shu scholar has also become a scholar, and he is even more active in compiling "The Canon of Filial Piety".

"Why don't we send some people to the Jiaofang Division." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "If you really want to say it elegantly, those out-of-the-ordinary people and talented women, I think they are the same kind of virtue. Teacher In Fangsi, there are quite a few who can sing and dance well."

Lao Zhu took a look at Zhu Yunying and said nothing, after drinking a glass of wine, he said, "You are still a little soft-hearted."

Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Soft-hearted? We don't recognize the words of Grandpa Huang. There are many offenders and female relatives in the Jiaofang Division, and we voted them in. Their fathers and brothers, we either cut them off or gave them Already distributed, can we soften our hearts?"

In fact, Jiaofang Division does have some meaning of government-run brothels.

In fact, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, Goulan was just a playground, and it was only later that Goulan was equated with a brothel.

Moreover, the Jiaofang Division also belongs to the Ministry of Rites, and is responsible for playing musical instruments at celebrations or welcoming VIPs. It is not that all the women of the Jiaofang Division are destined to become official prostitutes.Even some of the music girls of the Jiaofang Division still had to be recruited by the imperial court.Of course, most of them come from the female relatives of some prisoners.

Little Zhu poured Lao Zhu a glass of wine, and said, "I don't feel softhearted, I remember someone told us last time that the daughter of a prisoner was sent to the Jiaofang Division, and let us get it for someone else." Come out. We don’t care, go by yourself if you want, whoever can be in front of us is not a high-ranking person, why let us stand out!”

Lao Zhu was still very relieved, and said, "Yin'er's words are reasonable. Those who can be in front of you are all rich and powerful. Although it is a bit taboo to say that Jiaofangsi are all relatives of criminal officials. It's just that they If you really want to protect people, you can do it yourself."

"We also think the same way. Second uncle told us that if we say something casually, the people below will think a lot." Xiaoxiao Zhu muttered and said, "Last time we saw a little palace lady who looked pretty, and Shuangquan, that dog servant, immediately It was brought to us. We ran to ask my sister-in-law, she is our sister-in-law's maid."

Lao Zhu stopped talking. His youngest daughter was naturally precious, but his great-grandson was even more important.If the little girl's maid went to the little prince, it would be a blessing, and Lao Zhu naturally believed in it.

Zhu Yunying glared at Shuangquan who lowered her head, Xiao Zhu naturally didn't understand the relationship between men and women.But Zhu Yunying has to be careful, there are so many "flattering" people in front of little Zhu, it's hard to guarantee that she won't be misled.

The most important thing is Lao Zhu, he doesn't care about age.If little Zhu gave birth to a son next year, Lao Zhu wouldn't worry about anything.If that were the case, Lao Zhu would definitely want to spread the word that the Ming prince is a hero all over the world, and Lao Zhu would only be ecstatic.

This is definitely not an exaggeration, it's simply because Zhu Yunying really knows his grandpa too well.

Although Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan were a little nervous, it didn't seem necessary to be nervous all the time.

Judging from the current situation, this seems to be a family feast.Although such a family banquet, but who would dare to treat this family banquet as an ordinary family banquet, at least Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan would not dare.

After asking briefly, Zhu Yunying said, "Let Fifth Uncle take charge tomorrow, and you should also go to pay homage to the emperor's grandmother."

Naturally, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan didn't have any opinions, and this was what they should do.Even in the plan of these two people, even if Emperor Yingshi didn't need to remind them, they should go to Dongling to pay homage to Emperor Xiaokang, who was also their uncle.

"Uncle Wang, when you come back this time, do you want to be named by your great-grandfather and the emperor?" Xiao Zhu put down his chopsticks and asked curiously, "A few years ago, we remembered the rebellious officials and thieves in Korea, but they were always the same. I want to ask the court to give the country a name."

That's right, if you say that Li Chenggui really put his heart into it before, before Daming officially sent troops to crusade, Li Chenggui had always wanted to be named by Daming.

So the so-called "North Korea", if Zhu Yunying hadn't stopped it, Lao Zhu would have given it to Li Chenggui, and it would have become the name of the country of the current regime on the Koryo Peninsula.

Zhu Gaochi also immediately said, "Go back to His Royal Highness, my father ordered me to submit the letter of credence this time."

Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "Don't be too polite, Gao Chi, we were also thinking about this. Although Dongying also has words such as Japanese and Fusang, they just have nothing to do with us. After all, it was Daming who went out, and we and Grandpa Huang also After discussion, it is appropriate to separate the sun and the moon into two kingdoms. One is the sun and the other is the sun and the moon."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan immediately thanked them for their kindness. In fact, the name of the country was given, which basically showed their legal status.Even if the ceremony has not been officially completed now, it seems that Emperor Yingshi is officially preparing to confer the two vassal states.

Moreover, it can be seen from the name of the country that the Emperor of Ming still has high expectations for these two vassal states founded by the Ming clan.

Lao Zhu also said at this time, "Throughout the dynasties, we Han people like one child, but yours is a vassal state after all. We will add one word to each of you, Dongri, that is the vassal state of the fourth child. What is the other end? We are at the east end of the Ming Dynasty, and we even talked about the place where the sun rises, so we think this is exaggerating."

Immediately looking at Zhu Gaochi, Lao Zhu said, "Your end is Fuyue, and your end is close to Busan, which is considered safe."

Naturally, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan had nothing else to say, so it would be better to thank them quickly.

The Chinese civilizations of Qin, Han, and Tang did like one-word country titles, but for surrounding vassal states, etc., they often didn't like to directly use one word.It can be said that Lao Zhu treats them differently, which is quite obvious.

But it seems that everyone has no opinion, because after all, this is just a vassal state, which is fundamentally different from Daming.

Just like the head of a vassal state, he can only be called a 'king' at most, and he can only be a king.It’s okay to be king in a vassal state, but if you dare to call yourself emperor, you’re provoking Daming, which is absolutely unacceptable, especially since these vassal states were independent from Ming, so they need to be differentiated.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Mengtan had no objections, and Zhu Yunying naturally had no objections either.As far as the matter is concerned, Zhu Yunying thinks that he is fairly fair, at least he didn't give a 'wo' or something, and he didn't belittle.

For these two vassal states, Zhu Yunying still has some expectations, and it would be better if they make persistent efforts.

Zhu Yunying still has some expectations for some of the surrounding land.If there are some promising people in the clan who want to found the country, that would be even better, this is the way to defend Daming!
