Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 603 Family and State Affairs

Zhu Yunying is not an idealist, so when looking at some things, he can be said to be very realistic and inspirational.It is not impossible to even say that Zhu Yunying is pessimistic. Sometimes he looks more pessimistic than others.

For things like fairness, Zhu Yunying knew it was unrealistic.He can be as fair as possible, but in reality he can't.Not to mention facing these children of one's own, including dealing with major national affairs, etc., it is not absolutely fair.

Just like my four children now, don't look at Zhu Yunying doting on Zhu Ruyi now, but the son is more important.There is no way, who made Lao Zhu's family really have a dragon chair now, this is to be passed on.

There is nothing wrong with pampering Zhu Ruyi, but after all Zhu Ruyi is just a princess, and she is somewhat different from a prince.

Even if it is a son, the difference between the concubine and the concubine must be clearer.Even among the legitimate sons, they have to be treated differently.

In the final analysis, the old Zhu's family has the throne, no matter whether Zhu Yunying wants to be biased or not, for the sake of the country, he can only be ruthless most of the time.It is not unreasonable to say that the most ruthless emperor's family.

Lian Qiongqiong knew his duty, watching Zhu Yunying teaching Zhu Ruyi how to write, she just quietly sat beside her and waited on her.

Looking at Lian Qiongqiong, Zhu Yunying said with a smile, "My father-in-law's birthday will come in a few days, you should return to Ning with Ruyi. We won't reward you for this trip, do you think it's okay?"

Lian Qiongqiong was stunned for a moment, then said softly, "Return to Your Majesty, my concubine obeys the order."

Zhu Yunying couldn't help being happy, and said, "You, you are still too out of touch. We intended to reward Yuezhang for his birthday, which is also decent. But if you come back to Ning with Ruyi to celebrate his birthday this time, Let’s reward it again, it’s too much.”

Lian Qiongqiong probably understood what Zhu Yunying meant, and also knew that there was actually no big problem with the emperor saying so.

Lian Zining's birthday, this is of course a big deal.After all, Lian Zining was also an important minister of the court, although under Zhu Yunying's intentional arrangement, Lian Zining was also a lone minister.It's just that no matter how lonely he is, many people can't ignore his identity.

On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty did not have a real head of state.Xu Da is gone, and Lian Zining seems to be "a rising tide lifts all boats".In the harem, Lian Qiongqiong's status was second only to Xu Miaoqing's imperial concubine.

Many people also commented that Lian Qiongqiong must be extremely favored by the emperor, so she was specially given the position of imperial concubine.

This can also be seen from Zhu Ruyi's special favor. Everyone knows that the crown prince's position is stable, but many people also know that the emperor regards the princess as the jewel in his palm, and he wants to make Zhu Ruyi the Princess of Fengyang with all his heart.

Emperor Hongwu did not agree, absolutely not.In the early years, it was no problem for Emperor Yingshi to canonize his two younger sisters as princesses, but the nominal fiefdom was in the county of Fengyang Prefecture, so Emperor Hongwu was very unhappy.

Lao Zhu's direct daughters did not receive such treatment, so naturally the daughter of Emperor Yingshi should not even think about it.Fortunately, Zhu Ruyi is still young and is not in a hurry to be canonized. Zhu Yunying can continue to grind with Lao Zhu.

After resting at Lian Qiongqiong's place for a night, Zhu Yunying also took a late sleep, there is no need to rush to court, the main reason is to have a rest.

After washing up and having breakfast, Zhu Yunying punched in the yard in a good mood.After being comfortable all over, Zhu Yunying felt refreshed.

Lying leisurely on the armchair, Zhu Yunying said, "Ruyi, can you read to us today, okay? We don't want to read anymore, but just want to hear Ruyi read to us."

Zhu Ruyi was happy, and said with a smile, "Okay, we like reading books the most."

Nodding to Wang Chengen, Zhu Yunying said, "Go and hand over the papers that have been sorted out in the past two days."

The diversion of the Yellow River is a major event, and there are naturally some records of this.Because there are many sands and silts, and the changes are erratic, the diversions are very frequent. There is also a saying that "two breaches occur every three years, and diversions occur once a century".The earliest record is "Shangshu·Yugong".

Also because of the great influence of the Yellow River, every major or minor diversion of the Yellow River is also recorded.

The first major diversion of the earliest Yellow River was in the fifth year of Zhou Dingwang.The second time was in the third year of Yuanguang Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it took 70 years to return to the old way after being diverted.Three years after Wang Mang founded the country, the Yellow River changed its course again, and it was generally safe for hundreds of years.

But in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River burst continuously, and there were many short-term and short-distance diversion channels.In the eighth year of Emperor Renzong's Qingli reign in the Song Dynasty, the river was diverted again, and the formed river was called "Beiliu", and then broke through 12 years later, and the diversion was called "Dongliu", and it stopped flowing after 40 years.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to resist the Jin soldiers going south, Du Chong, the defender of Tokyo, decided to open the embankment of the Yellow River, causing the Yellow River to become exhausted, and it diverted to the southeast from Sishui and Jishui into the sea.So far, the Yellow River has changed from flowing into the Bohai Sea in the north and flowing into the Yellow Sea in the south.

The current trend of the Yellow River is also affected by this, basically swinging in the south, although there are occasional north rushes.But now everyone's main point of view is to force the flow of the south.

Today's Yellow River can be said that during the period when the Nanliu seized the Huaihe River and entered the sea, the mainstream of the Yellow River below Zhengzhou and above Qingkou also migrated indefinitely.It flows into the Huai River from Surabaya, or from Bian River or Wo River, or from Ying River, or into the Huai River in several branches at the same time.

That is to say, the trend of the Yellow River recognized by later generations actually did not exist in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.

The old course of the Yellow River considered by later generations was basically fixed by Pan Jixun in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history.

The little assistant Zhu Ruyi was very good, and she was reading the notebook vividly.Although this little girl doesn't necessarily understand these things, she doesn't need to understand those profound knowledge, she just needs to read books obediently.

But Lian Qiongqiong next to her couldn't help but feel turbulent in her heart. She knew that today's son was wise and mighty.But now, it seems that Emperor Yingshi intends to govern the Yellow River and take the initiative to undertake this seemingly extremely difficult task.

In fact, if Zhu Yunying didn't manage the Yellow River, there would be no big problem, because although it seems that there are some floods now.However, you can also choose soldiers to block the water and cover it with soil, and then deal with it when there is a flood.

It's not a bad thing to be confused. After all, the Yellow River and the Huaihe River seem to be a little noisy, and it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a serious problem.

In the final analysis, the emperor Zhu Yunying had a vision, and he really wanted to do more things.

Accompanying Zhu Ruyi all morning, Zhu Yunying also went to the side of his second son Zhu Wenqi.

Although this kid is a little afraid of Zhu Yunying, and he does look a bit dandy, but when it's time for Zhu Yunying to go and have a look, he must still have a look.Although his father seems to have some unqualified places.

But in any case, he can't let go of it completely, Zhu Yunying's father is busy with the country.I also need to pay attention to my son occasionally, especially since this small tree seems to be tending to grow crookedly, Zhu Yunying should help him repair it.

The Wang family was very wronged. Other concubines are valued by their mothers, but when they came to her, they were basically cheated by their sons.

In the early years, because Lao Zhu was born in a poor family, extravagance was prohibited at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so the number of wives and concubines in the harem and the number of female officials were correspondingly reduced. Therefore, the harem of the Ming Dynasty was only set up to concubines, and it was canceled below concubines.

But this is only a short-term policy. When Lao Zhu was in power, he had many concubines.

Especially after Zhu Yunying ascended the throne, he was dissatisfied with too many "concubines" in the harem. Under the queen, there were one imperial concubine, two imperial concubines, four concubines, and six concubines.As for the 'beauties' under these concubines, etc., there is no constant.

Wang was a concubine Xian in her early years, but she had no way to teach her children, so she was demoted to concubine Xian by Zhu Yunying.Among Lao Zhu's concubines, the Wang family is the only one who has heirs, which makes her sometimes unable to hold her head up. This woman who is pretty pretty is just pretty.

Zhu Yunying is quite a scumbag, and he used to like the gorgeous Wang Shi.However, after having children and losing the freshness, Zhu Yunying slowly lost the freshness, and she still liked Xu Miaoqing who was in love with each other more.Even if it seems that Xu Miaoqing's appearance is not as good as Wang's, but she can't just be a good-looking dog.

Zhu Wenqi lowered his head and did not speak. As Serena Serena playing truant, palace lady nemesis, and eunuch's thug, Zhu Wenqi has made many mistakes recently.Now that Zhu Yunying is here, this kid will naturally be scolded and scolded.

Many of Lao Zhu's sons were ineffective, and the emperors of all dynasties also had some seemingly absurd and cruel heirs.Zhu Yunying felt that if he was not careful, he might have such a son.

Looking at it now, this kid Zhu Wenqi has such potential.At such a young age, this shows that she is not just playful or playful, but is really developing in the direction of absurdity and cruelty.

This is probably also a headache for Zhu Yunying. No matter how powerful a character is, there is no way to completely guarantee the filial piety of his son and grandson.

As the emperor's son, Zhu Wenqi is indeed confident.Although he was not as good as his radiant elder brother, Zhu Wenqi was someone most people would not dare to offend, and the people he could control in the Ming Dynasty were indeed very limited.

It seems that Xu Miaoqing still needs to worry more. This Wang family has a good skin, but the inside is rough, and there is really no connotation.

Not to mention that the emperor's concubines are all carefully selected, and many emperor's concubines in history are also very scandalous.Being born in a famous family or seeming to have received a lot of education does not necessarily mean that one has a skilled quality.

Zhu Yunying now feels that he is not so lustful, probably simply because he is more enthusiastic about power now.Including the current him, there is really no shortage of women, no matter what family background, or the beauty of the country, there is no shortage.

Once this is not lacking, sometimes it seems to lose its attractiveness. What Zhu Yunying cares about is still power, and Xu Miaoqing, who feels that she is "in love with each other", seems to be more desirable.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunying is not exactly like Lao Zhu, who is an out-and-out 'scumbag'.Compared with Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying is slightly better, of course, only slightly better.

After educating Zhu Wenkun, Zhu Yunying returned to the Hall of Chunhe angrily, and saw Xu Miaoqing teasing Zhu Wenkun.

"Let's hug Wen Kun." Zhu Yunying strode over and said with a smile, "This little thing is starting to recognize people now. He has seen us so many times, but he still doesn't kiss us. We spoil him like that He still doesn't kiss us, he insists on kissing his elder brother who likes to torment him."

Xu Miaoqing explained for Xiao Zhu, "Yin'er is not only good at teasing Kun'er, he likes to tease Kun'er most of the time. Your Majesty also knows Yin'er's temperament, which is restless."

"Wen Qian is the one who can't be free. Both he and his mother and concubine are undisciplined." Zhu Yunying said angrily, "As a queen, you should take care of it. If this goes on, Yin'er may be in the future. I'm going to deal with his brother cruelly."

As soon as Xu Miaoqing heard this, she became serious. This can be regarded as having received the imperial decree again, and it is natural to discipline Wang and Zhu Wenqi again.

As a queen, Xu Miaoqing naturally has the qualifications to discipline Zhu Yunying's concubines and children.It's just that most of the time, Xu Miaoqing is not willing to discipline her more, lest someone say she is 'jealous'.

But now that Zhu Yunying has explained everything, Xu Miaoqing will naturally pay attention to it.What's more, Zhu Yunying also said that Zhu Wenyin was too stubborn, which might affect Zhu Wenyin in the future, so Xu Miaoqing naturally paid more attention to it.

Once the emperors of the past dynasties attack their brothers, there will definitely be "heavy ink and heavy colors" in the history books.Many people don't care how virtuous the emperor's brothers are, they just remember that the emperor can't tolerate brothers.

Holding Zhu Wenkun, Zhu Yunying was in a good mood, "This little thing is getting heavier and heavier, no wonder Yin'er likes to tease him, the little fat man is really fun!"

The little fat man is really fun. There is almost no reason for the cuteness of human cubs. It is quite normal to like to tease children.

Zhu Yunying teased Zhu Wenkun for a while, and she was quite satisfied with her Xiumu.I can relax a little bit, not to mention, I am also dealing with some housework, and all aspects of this need to be done well.

This is probably also Zhu Yunying's sense of responsibility. His family affairs are not just family affairs, they are also related to the world, and this is a major event.These things really shouldn't be taken lightly.

Zhu Yunying was in front of his concubines and children, and had no intention of going to the Qing Palace.

It doesn't matter whether Lao Zhu complains or not, I guess Lao Zhu is also understandable.If Zhu Yunying could make persistent efforts to add a few great-grandchildren to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu would definitely be happier.Although he only dotes on little Zhu, it doesn't affect Lao Zhu's hope that Xiao Zhu will spread out further, which is also Lao Zhu's expectation.

The management of the Yellow River is a major event, and Zhu Yunying is not the only one who needs to think carefully and make preparations.The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty also need careful discussion on these matters. This is an out-and-out major event, and it may be one of the iconic major events of the Yingshi Dynasty.

This can't be decided on the head, and even in order to do this well, it is likely to require protracted efforts.

But there's nothing to say about it. It's normal to have such a process. If you make a decision with a hot head, that's what you need to worry about the most.
