Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 574
As an emperor, Zhu Yunying also prefers things like going out of the palace, but of course such treatment is relatively rare.That is to say, he occasionally went out of the palace when he was a child, that is, he went to Peiping in the early years, so he had the opportunity to go on a "tour".

If it was about going out of the palace during the New Year's Eve, Zhu Yunying was still relatively unfamiliar with it, and such treatment was not much.

Little Zhu jumped up and down and said, "Father, I won't take Kun'er this trip, it's too cold outside."

Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile, and acknowledged this point, "Kun'er is not yet one year old, so I won't take him with me this time. This time, we will also join in the fun. You can ask someone to tell you, let your sister-in-law, the second Uncle also followed, taking all our unicorns with us."

Even if there were more people, it would be lively. In fact, Lao Zhu's children only brought Princess Baoqing, who was only seven years old, when they went out on this trip.Among the other sons and grandsons of the dragon, Zhu Yunying's descendants are naturally the main ones.

Zhu Yunying beckoned, Xiao Zhu, who was about to go out, stopped, there were some things to explain.In the final analysis, it is no small matter for the royal family to go out of the palace.

Little Zhu must also understand this, although he seems to be young now, but in the end it is not that he has no thoughts at all, at most he is not thinking about some things thoroughly.

"You are not young anymore, we are busy with government affairs all day long, so we don't have the mind to take care of these things." Zhu Yunying said slowly, "Your great-grandfather is old and lacks energy, so we don't want to bother him with this matter. Since you are willing to make a fuss, this matter will be handled by you, and many things will be done by you."

Little Zhu was not stupid, and said, "Father, I just want to train us. I don't want my father to worry about such things, let alone my great-grandfather. We, even if we want to do something, we have to give us an imperial edict." .”

Zhu Yunying looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Let Song Zhong and Jiang Yu go to the prince to listen to the order, and don't worry about these things."

Little Zhu squeezed in front of Zhu Yunying, flattering her endlessly, "Father, why don't you give us Jingwei and Wucheng soldiers and horses. We are the nobles of heaven, and our younger brothers and sisters are also following, so nothing will happen."

Zhu Yunying was angry and funny, and said, "The crown prince is in charge of the soldiers and horses in the capital? Do you think our emperor sleeps soundly at night?! Come on, remember to return the seal to us after this matter is over, otherwise we I'm really going to take care of you."

Little Zhu was confident, and said with a smile, "Great-grandfather told us long ago that the soldier talismans given to us cannot be taken back. My father was holding most of the navy soldier talismans in the world before he was ten years old, and he didn't say to return them to great-grandfather and grandfather. We are just with you." My grandfather and father learned it, and the soldiers and horses I took from my great-grandfather are ours!"

As soon as Zhu Yunying raised his hand, little Zhu immediately turned around and ran away. There was no such thing as fear in little Zhu.Little Zhu doesn't care about taboos.

Seeing little Zhu running away, Zhu Yunying laughed, "We, the prince of Ming Dynasty, don't need to be cautious. We don't need to be taboo about some things in the previous dynasty."

The happy little Zhu ran to the Wenhua Palace, looked at Wang Chengen, and said, "After you pass the decree, go to serve your father. We don't need you here. Let's send someone to the Qianqing Palace so that Shuangquan can be with you." Let’s just listen to it and use it.”

Wang Chengen was even more obsequious, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, let the slaves listen to you. If your majesty asks, the slaves can reply, right?"

Little Zhu thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason, "That's right, my father must be worried about doing things. Even the great-grandfather has to send someone to come, and Shuangquan should come here, and quickly send someone to pass him on. Then let someone call Our third uncle, third uncle grandpa, and our little uncle are also coming over."

Wang Chengen immediately started to act, serving the crown prince well, it seems that it is not his duty.It's just that no matter what, this matter can't be sloppy. The crown prince is currently on a business, so of course everyone must do their best.

Serving the emperor is of course the top priority in Wang Chengen's eyes, but serving the crown prince well is also Wang Chengen's duty.

Lao Zhu, who was busy eating soybeans and drinking a little wine, couldn't help frowning, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter again? What's going on with the emperor, and we have to guard him?"

Having said that, it seems that Lao Zhu is extremely impatient.It's just that Lao Zhu has always been very happy all these years. His precious grandson has always been like this. He has to tell him about big and small things, but it's not like he gets carried away after sitting on the dragon chair.

A little eunuch knelt down and said to Lao Zhu, "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty ordered the crown prince to take charge of the Lantern Festival outing. At this moment, he is summoning all the ministers in the Wenhua Palace. The crown prince ordered the general manager Shuangquan to go to the palace to listen, and the servants came to deliver the order." .”

Old Zhu smiled, but still asked, "Just let Shuangquan go? Where is the Wang Chengen in front of the emperor? The emperor is reluctant to lend it to the prince?"

The little eunuch immediately replied quickly, "Go back to His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, Director Wang Chengen has already passed away. The servants are used to monitor the ceremonies, and His Majesty Long En is the eunuch in the hall. Now the admiral of the East Factory and the commander of the Jinyiwei are also listening to His Highness the Crown Prince." use."

Old Zhu was happy when he heard it, and he was in a good mood, "Okay, let's go. Shuangquan, you should be more diligent in front of the prince. Don't compete with Wang Chengen, just work hard under the prince's tent."

Shuangquan naturally listened to the order. After all these years in front of Lao Zhu, Shuangquan already knew some things and knew that he needed to correct his position.

He used to be the eunuch in charge of seals, but the current supervisor of ceremonies is not the chief yamen among the 24 yamen in history.In fact, Lao Zhu set up an internal envoy before he ascended the throne, and made adjustments successively in the 17th and 28th years of Hongwu.

Although some powers have been added and considerable adjustments have been made, the adjusted Supervisor of Rituals is still the general yamen for eunuchs, after the Internal Officials Supervisor.After all, Lao Zhu is extremely strict with the eunuchs, and the duties of the supervisor of ceremonies can be some trivial matters in life, and the rest of the political tasks should not be entrusted to them too much.

In the past, he obeyed the orders of the Supreme Emperor, but for Emperor Xiaokang and Emperor Yingshi, Shuangquan has always obeyed orders obediently.The matter of Emperor Hongwu is a major event, and the matter of those two is even more important.

Lao Zhu, who was in a good mood, looked at the little eunuch and asked, "What is the emperor busy with?"

The eunuch in the hall immediately said, "Your Majesty seems to be reading the memorial. The servants are inferior and dare not ask."

Lao Zhu nodded slightly, but Lao Zhu once cast an iron plate and hung it on the gate of the palace, saying, "The ministers are not allowed to interfere in political affairs, and offenders will be beheaded." This is also a warning and deterrent to these eunuchs.For the eunuchs, Lao Zhu has deep distrust in his bones.

After thinking about it, since there was nothing else to do, Lao Zhu was going to have a look as well.Not only did he want to see his grandson, but he also wanted to listen to him. What the great-grandson had to do was a big deal, and this could even be regarded as Xiao Zhu's first time dealing with some things.

Although it was still a little cold outside, Lao Zhu didn't plan to take a sedan chair or anything like that.He has been tossed so much by that precious grandson all these years, he always has to move, and he is also practicing Tai Chi and Wu Qinxi, which his grandson didn't know where he learned from.

When we arrived at the Hall of Martial Heroes, Lao Zhu joked, "You're so bold, we don't care about our lives, and you don't even take your own seriously, let a kid take care of it."

Zhu Yunying smiled, and she was really confident, "If we went to the battlefield, we would definitely not dare. But at the feet of the emperor, we are not afraid. Our Yin'er is not ignorant. What are you afraid of?"

Old Zhu was also happy, and said, "We still need to pay attention to this matter. If we have an accident with you, Yin'er will follow. This is a big deal. Of the three of us, none of us can have an accident."

"We understand, but we're just afraid that Yin'er won't be happy." Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "On the surface, he must be the main one. If he does well, we really don't care at all. If it doesn't work, we Just let people follow in secret."

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Lao Zhu was also quite satisfied. In fact, he also had such thoughts and ideas.

Since it is for little Zhu to practice, it is natural to give him more opportunities and powers, otherwise this kind of practice will lose its meaning.

Lao Zhu casually flipped through the memorials, and was in a good mood, "You, you are becoming more and more lazy now, how many memorials are just perfunctory?"

Zhu Yunying smiled, and didn't care too much about some things, "Grandfather, you have read these memorials a few years ago. There are many civil and military officials. We are really too lazy to say anything. I don't write splendid articles now, just These booklets are often used to delay our time."

Old Zhu also laughed, and said jokingly, "Is this why you want to let the supervisor of ceremonies do something? We said that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, but you still want them to help you approve papers?"

In fact, according to Lao Zhu's regulations, eunuchs are not allowed to read and write.The power of the ceremonial supervisor continued to grow, that is, the Yongle and Hongxi periods in history.But now, the supervisor of ceremonies can basically help out.

Zhu Yunying gave way to Lao Zhu, and said while pinching Lao Zhu's shoulders, "We definitely need checks and balances, not only the civil and military needs checks and balances, but also the internal and external courts. Eunuchs, after all, are our royal family. slave."

For Zhu Yunying's statement, Lao Zhu obviously agrees very much. In fact, Lao Zhu also thinks so. Aren't eunuchs and the like just slaves.

As for things like checks and balances, things like checks and balances are also very necessary. Although the current emperor is in power, there are some things that need to be considered. Things like checks and balances will happen sooner or later.

"Grandson is also a diligent person, and he doesn't like to be lazy, but there are indeed too many things." Zhu Yunying said to Lao Zhu, "It's just that everything is complicated, and we must take care of big things. It's just that there are so many trivial things, it's really too much. Time wasted."

Lao Zhu naturally understands this, even though he is also a diligent person, it can be said that he wants to care about and solve everything, but how tiring it is, no one has more say than Lao Zhu, this is true It's a little too tiring.

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Lao Zhu also fell silent, and there are indeed some things that need to be considered.In the final analysis, Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yingshi were both very controlling people.

When Lao Zhu came up with the "Emperor Ming Ancestors", he had some arrangements for everything, just thinking that future generations would follow the rules in it, basically it can be said to be "every generation". I think that's the safest course of action.

And when it comes to Zhu Yunying's side, it's actually the same. Sometimes I don't just think about things in a year or two, but in 50 or [-] years, and I think about historical development trends and so on.

So Zhu Yunying has to consider some things and make some arrangements in advance, which is also a very normal thing, and it can be regarded as something determined by the personality of the grandparents and grandchildren.

As for the Wenhua Palace at this moment, it can be regarded as a gathering of important officials, or in other words, those who can go to the Wenhua Palace are all out-and-out confidants of the emperor.

Not to mention that the crown prince has too much power in his hands, let alone the personal eunuchs of two generations of emperors, this shows the attitude of the two supreme beings in the world.The most important thing is that there is no shortage of imperial edicts and military symbols, which are more convincing.

It's okay to be high-spirited or something, because many things are very simple for Xiao Zhu, and he doesn't think these things are any big things at all.

As for these civil and military officials and these confidantes, they obviously have some ideas of their own.There are many things that are considered taboo in history books, but in the Ming Dynasty, there is actually no need to feel taboo at all.

It is nothing for the crown prince to be in power. The crown prince has the soldiers and horses of Yingtian Mansion in his hands. This is not something that only happened in the Yingshi dynasty.

During the Hongwu Dynasty, there were actually some things that seemed more taboo.But Emperor Hongwu didn't say anything, and the prince or grandson was used to it, so everyone naturally didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about.

Little Zhu knows some things well. For example, the people summoned now are basically people who can be assured, and they are all people who need to be taken out. They are all things like the scope of duties.

These things should not be put on the bright side. Many things are clear to everyone. If the emperor, the emperor and the crown prince go out of the palace together, if the courtiers know about these things, there will definitely be a big fuss Movement, this is no small matter.

Even if there is no way to change the emperor's mind, it is perfectly normal to express one's attitude.

So when it is time to keep it secret, it must be kept secret. If some things are said, it means that the Sacred Heart will be lost. That is not what these people should do.

After all, these people are close to the emperor and the prince, and they even care more about this trip than ordinary people. This errand is not so much a small test for the prince, but rather a test for these confidantes. an assessment.

If you can't do these things well, you won't lose your head, but if you want to develop smoothly, it's a bit hard to say.
