Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 638 The Emperor Is Very Busy
For the Ming Dynasty, it is really not a big problem to undertake some relatively large projects at the same time.

It's just that Zhu Yunying also understands that he shouldn't be overjoyed, let alone kill the chicken to get the eggs.It is true that the current Ming Dynasty is powerful, but if he really makes great achievements and resorts to military force, the situation of this great and flourishing empire may take a turn for the worse.

Zhu Yunying absolutely cannot allow this kind of thing. He knows that what he has to do is very important, and he also knows that many things must be done well.But it is more obvious that Zhu Yunying should not do something beyond his ability.

Zhu Ruyi is very happy helping Zhu Yunying with his studies, Zhu Ruyi will definitely not see the memorial.Even if she is Zhu Yunying's favorite princess, Zhu Yunying pays more attention to many things, and doting is measured.

But Zhu Ruyi can still read some materials, some things sent by the Imperial Academy, and help Zhu Yunying to read them.

After staying with Lian Qiongqiong for lunch, Zhu Yunying calmly got up and prepared to leave.

In the Wenhua Palace, Lao Zhu sat on a chair and said to Xiao Zhu seriously, "Yin'er, look at this book. Although your father and I don't like colorful memorials these years, and we want the official memorials to be concise. But some At that time, these officials still have to toss about things."

"It looks like they are capable!" Little Zhu immediately said, "We know that this is how they can look talented. Many people in front of us always want to look capable, just wanting to make themselves better than others."

Hearing what little Zhu said, Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction. His great-grandson is not indiscreet, and little Zhu knows some things in his heart, and little Zhu understands some things.

However, Lao Zhu still said, "If you are superior, you shouldn't be beaten to death with a stick, and sometimes you shouldn't make decisions based on your own preferences. Let's just say, some officials still have some skills, some talents, and some skills." , has a strange temper. As for us, we should control him, not let him go too smoothly, and we shouldn't suppress him."

Little Zhu thought for a while, and then said, "Just like our father, he is capable and intelligent, and even his great-grandfather gave him experience in the early years."

Old Zhu doesn't seem to object to such a statement, he has given Zhu Yunying a lot of opportunities to practice.However, Zhu Yunying's experience is very different from that of Baiguan. Zhu Yunying is not afraid of making mistakes when he is practicing. Old Zhu always has the bottom line.

Old Zhu is not afraid that Zhu Yunying will make mistakes. If he makes a mistake, he will help him find out. He will plan and knead it finely, and help Zhu Yunying analyze it carefully.But if the officials made mistakes, Lao Zhu would definitely not have such patience.

Xiao Zhu flipped through the papers and looked at them carefully, "Great-grandfather, this is another paper to greet you. We have read a lot of papers, and they are all papers to greet you. These are the papers that my father reads every day?"

Lao Zhu also sighed, and said, "A lot of notebooks are like these. Even if we don't like it, we can only read it and give a reply. Those who can give us memorials are of a certain level, and many of them are outside. We can't ignore the big officials of the frontier."

Little Zhu didn't seem very happy with this answer, but she could only accept it.

In fact, after all these years, little Zhu knew that he could be self-willed by virtue of his status, but he couldn't be too self-willed.

Even Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu, sometimes they can only "beg for compromise". For such things, both Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu know it well.It's just that they are mature, and they are used to such things.And the young little Zhu, sometimes impatient.

But fortunately, Xiao Zhu is also an obedient child, whoever is stubborn is stubborn, but he knows many things well.In Zhu Yunying's view, his eldest son is a very self-controlled child, which is one of the things Zhu Yunying is extremely proud of.

It is of course a good thing to have self-control, especially in the position of crown prince, you need to have self-control, otherwise it is easy to do bad things.

While Old Zhu was leading Little Zhu to review the memorial, Wang Chengen reported in a low voice, "His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince, the Founding Duke is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Old Zhu closed his eyes and rested his mind. He didn't plan to deal with this matter. He planned to see how little Zhu would deal with it.

Little Zhu glanced at Old Zhu, then said, "Let's declare."

Chang Mao, with a serious expression, entered the Wenhua Palace, and immediately knelt down, "Chang Mao, I greet His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, long live Your Majesty. I greet Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness will last forever."

Little Zhu said with a stern face, "Let's be fair to the founding father, and Wang Chengen will give the founding father a seat."

After thanking Changmao, Xiao Zhu said, "My mother has been thinking about Duke Jiang very much recently. I heard that Duke Jiang is ill, and I miss him very much. It just so happens that the imperial doctor is here, and Duke Kai is also there. So reassuring."

Chang Mao froze for a moment, he hadn't sat down yet, yet he was dismissed just like that.Even this time when he came to ask for an interview, he still had his own problems, but he didn't say anything, so he dismissed him, and he really didn't know what to say.

It's just that Chang Mao seems to have no other way at this time, especially since Emperor Hongwu is watching.At this time, the only thing Chang Mao could do was to thank En, although he still couldn't figure out why he was in poor health.

Watching Chang Mao leave, Lao Zhu showed some smiles, "Yin'er, why did you just ask Chang Mao to visit your father and mother? We remember that third uncle Ni also asked to see you, but you didn't agree. He is still yours after all. Mother's elder brother."

Little Zhu immediately said, "Great-grandfather, the third uncle is our third uncle, and the founding father is our father's eldest uncle. If our father is really sick, the founding father will be the most worried, and our uncle may be secretly happy. We know it in our hearts, and we are not stupid. He will feel at ease when he goes to have a look. Besides, the founder of the country has a sense of propriety and will not interfere with the overall situation."

Old Zhu was naturally satisfied with this answer, and of course he knew that little Zhu's statement was correct.

But Lao Zhu thought it was funny, and said, "If he goes to the Hall of Spring Harmony, he won't be able to see your father. Wang Chengen, where is the emperor?"

Wang Chengen replied immediately, and reported respectfully, "Go back to Your Majesty, the Emperor went to see His Highness the Princess after breakfast. I just heard that Your Majesty went to Fengxian Hall."

Old Zhu was stunned for a moment, and complained expressionlessly, "It's not a birthday or Ming birthday, what are you going to Fengxian Hall for?! He is a fake filial piety. These days have not passed, and now it is the past. What’s the other way of saying it? You’re so filial, go there early. We’ll go there after lunch, what’s the matter!”

Little Zhu couldn't hear this, so he said quickly, "Great-grandfather, you don't care about your deeds! Our father was busy with government affairs earlier, so there is no time."

"We have always taken you with us, and we are not allowed to say that your father is not good?" Lao Zhu grabbed Xiao Zhu's ear and said, "We love you father and son for nothing, no matter how good we treat you, it is useless. Don't remember our good! Forget it, you put on a fold, we don't bother you!"

Little Zhu was smiling but not nervous, and deliberately squeezed into Old Zhu's arms.And Lao Zhu seemed angry and wanted to push Xiao Zhu away, but under Xiao Zhu's perseverance, Lao Zhu hugged Xiao Zhu with a smile and continued to guide Xiao Zhu to review the memorial.

Old Zhu and little Zhu were busy reviewing the memorials, while Zhu Yunying offered incense and sacrifices to the ancestors in Fengxian Hall.

As for the bewildered Chang Mao, when he arrived at the Hall of Spring Harmony, he handed over a palace talisman to see him according to the rules.

Xu Miaoqing was also a little confused at first, it was said that it was not easy for her to meet Chang Mao, but there were also eunuchs and female officials who explained, Xu Miaoqing naturally understood the whole story, so there was no problem.

Leaving aside that this was Little Zhu's arrangement, Xu Miaoqing did not dare to object to Emperor Hongwu's approval.What's more, there is nothing presumptuous about such a thing, so naturally there is no problem.

The queen's airs cannot be put on in front of Chang Mao. Xu Miaoqing said immediately after seeing Chang Mao, "Uncle Lao is concerned, Your Majesty is safe."

Chang Mao glanced at Xu Miaoqing, who seemed to be a little happy, and said with restraint, "His Royal Highness, can I ask to see Your Majesty?"

Knowing what Xu Miaoqing looked at the female officer and asked, "Where is Your Majesty now?"

The female officer immediately said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty rested at Changchun Palace last night and had meals at Chuxiu Palace, and now he has gone to Fengxian Palace."

Chang Mao froze for a moment. Didn't it mean that His Majesty is sick because he sleeps so often?But looking at it now, His Majesty is very busy.

Glancing at Chang Mao who seemed to be in a daze, Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "Speaking of which, uncle has not seen his mother for quite some time, since uncle has some free time today, I hope uncle will go to Fengxian Hall with his niece , I am also happy to think about coming to my mother."

Chang Mao seemed to understand a little bit, but he said quickly, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is against the rules."

Xu Miaoqing said with a smile, "It's not out of order for my uncle to be the stepmother's elder brother. It's just that uncle shouldn't look happy, or it's not good for others to see. If someone asks, uncle should have an answer. "

Chang Mao himself has a temperament that does not blush when lying, so he immediately said, "I am praying for His Majesty, I know it!"

Thinking of something, Chang Mao continued, "I am now in charge of the guards of the imperial city, so I will go and mention something so that I can go to Fengxian Hall."

Xu Miaoqing nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's go in half an hour. The concubine will clean up and go to pray for blessings. It is said that the concubine is not filial. I have been a little slack in recent days, and I have not been able to go to the Xiandian as the emperor's grandmother." , father, queen, and mother offer incense."

Those who don't know may misunderstand that His Majesty is seriously ill, which requires the Queen to go to Fengxian Hall to pray for blessings.But this is also abnormal, the emperor's other concubines and so on, they can do whatever they want, but it is obvious that no one else knows these things.

As for Chang Mao, he was able to follow the past, of course, to reassure Chang Mao, and he probably wouldn't be at ease if he didn't see Zhu Yunying.Even if Lao Zhu, Xiao Xiaozhu or Xu Miaoqing said something, it might not be useful in practice.

Chang Mao's status is special after all, and there is no need to doubt his loyalty, so there is no need to continue to hide some things from him.The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were kept in the dark, and now some people can know the whole story.

In Fengxian Hall, Xu Miaoqing slowly walked up to Zhu Yunying and said, "Your Majesty, Uncle intends to offer incense to Queen Mother."

Glancing at Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Yunying nodded with a smile, "Then let uncle come over. Over the years, uncle has not been able to offer more incense to the queen mother, so it is because we did not do well."

After saying this, Zhu Yunying got up and took three sticks of incense slowly.After Chang Mao entered Fengxian Hall respectfully, he saw Zhu Yunying lighting incense.

Somewhat dumbly, Zhu Yunying took the incense from Zhu Yunying. Looking at Chang's memorial tablet, Zhu Yunying said, "My queen, my uncle is here today. My uncle now has children and is in good health. My queen can feel at ease."

Chang Mao knelt down immediately, the younger sister he loved the most in the past is now just a taboo on the tablet, Chang Mao would be lying if he said he didn't feel sad.Fortunately, my nephew is a promising emperor, and my sister can be regarded as a promising emperor.

Xu Miaoqing took the incense from Chang Mao, and it was a blessing that Chang Mao entered the Fengxian Hall today, but obviously he was not qualified to worship the immortals of Lao Zhu's family more.Don't say that Lao Zhu cares about these rules, Xu Miaoqing also cares about them very much, such a title and other things can't be sloppy.

Seeing Xu Miaoqing inserting the incense, Zhu Yunying said, "My uncle was also raised by the emperor's grandmother. Let's put incense on the emperor's grandmother. At the father's place, my uncle will go to Dongling tomorrow to pay homage. Outsiders say it Said to pray for us, uncle understand?"

Chang Mao felt at ease the moment he saw Zhu Yunying. He seemed to understand that His Majesty must be pretending to be sick, but he didn't know the reason behind it.

But it doesn't matter. In the early years, Emperor Hongwu pretended to be sick so many times that everyone even got used to it, that is, he was a little nervous at first, and then he didn't care.

It can only be said that this is Zhu Yunying's first time pretending to be sick, so everyone is a little nervous at this time, and they didn't react for a while, pretending to be sick can be regarded as the traditional art of the old Zhu family.

My heart is at ease, and now that I have the backbone, Chang Mao starts to feel confused, "Your Majesty, if I go to Dongling, will I cry?"

Speechless Zhu Yunying looked at Chang Mao, he felt that his acting was a bit too much.But looking at Chang Mao now, Zhu Yunying feels that he still has some sense of propriety, and Chang Mao is really acting too much.

Zhu Yunying, who had a headache, said angrily, "Uncle, don't go too far. Uncle knows these things. Don't be happy. If you want to come, Uncle knows what's going on. Reticence and diligence are fine."

This time Chang Mao understood, he probably knew what he should do, and what kind of attitude he should have.

That's about the same. Acting is of course very important, but it can't be too much. It's a little restrained. This is also for the sake of a smooth ending when the big drama ends. This is something that needs to be paid attention to.

If it's true, although Zhu Yunying doesn't have to care about these things.But at least give the officials a little respect, although this kind of respect may be just a formality, you should pay attention to it.
